Chapter 40: The Shadow of the Mountain Village (3)
Just when Li Fugui was shocked, someone behind him suddenly patted him on the shoulder.
"Old man, I'm here!"
This almost scared Li Fugui's soul out. I saw him stumble, and the whole person took several steps back.
"You...... You...... You ......"
Li Fugui's eyes widened, he never imagined that Sun Wukong would appear behind him. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have dared to believe it was true.
"Are you an immortal?" asked Li Fugui in a trembling voice.
"Immortals?" Sun Wukong laughed. "Old man, I'll tell you the truth. My grandson is much more powerful than that immortal!"
"Huh?"
Li Fugui didn't understand the meaning of Sun Wukong's words, and wanted to reach out to pull the other party back.
"Old man, my senior brother is a man with great mana. Even if there is a ghost, then he will never dare to get even half a step closer to my senior brother!" Sha Seng said to Li Fugui with an arrogant face.
"This ...... Is this true?" Li Fugui said in disbelief.
"Of course it's true, if you don't believe it, you can ask our master!" said Sha Seng Zhengse.
Li Fugui looked at Tang Seng on the side suspiciously, and saw that the latter nodded slightly towards him, and then he completely believed it in his heart.
"It's a fairy......! That's a big deal. Saying that, Li Fugui was about to kneel down and bow to Sun Wukong.
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
Sun Wukong hurriedly helped him up and said with a smile: "If you really want to worship, it's not too late to worship after my old grandson receives that group of ghosts." ”
Li Fugui was already convinced of the identity of the Monkey King Immortal, and naturally he didn't dare to doubt what he said.
At this time, Zhu Bajie suddenly said: "Brother Monkey, I don't think it's safe for you to go out alone." ”
"Oh, Bajie, don't you want to go with me?" said Sun Wukong strangely.
Zhu Bajie smiled and said, "I still have to protect the master at home, but I can let Xiao Jiu go out with you." ”
Nani?
Ruan Jiu, who had been eating steamed buns with his head down, raised his head sharply and stared at Zhu Bajie in disbelief.
What does this mean? How did you get her involved?
Sun Wukong glanced at Ruan Jiu, but did not refute it at the first time.
Seeing this situation, Ruan Jiu finally did not calm down. So he smiled and said to Zhu Bajie: "Second Senior Brother, Senior Brother is a dignified Monkey King!
The reason why he said this was because Ruan Jiu felt that Sun Wukong had always been quite conceited, and it was unlikely that he would join forces with people who were too inferior to him.
However, what Ruan Jiu didn't expect was that Sun Wukong did not refuse, but asked her instead: "Oh, does Xiao Jiu want to be with me?"
"Uh......"
A trace of black line slipped from Ruan Jiu's forehead, and he was secretly depressed in his heart, why didn't this Sun monkey play his cards according to the routine?
But since everything has come to this point, if you can't talk about it at this moment, it will inevitably seem a little hypocritical.
So Ruan Jiu had no choice but to grit his teeth and smile and nod at Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong pondered for a moment and said to Ruan Jiu: "In this case, then you can go out with me to have a look." ”
"Well, good. ”
Ruan Jiu's heart was secretly dripping blood, and Leng Buding turned around and glared at Zhu Bajie fiercely. What is the saying? If you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate!
Regarding Ruan Jiu's eyes full of murderous intent, Zhu Bajie didn't notice it at all. Originally, having Ruan Jiu and Sun Wukong together was what he thought of on a whim. With his ability to think, where would he have thought that one of his unintentional actions almost didn't make Ruan Jiu hate himself to death.
It was pitch black outside the village, except for the occasional crescent moon in the sky, and all the doors and windows were closed, and some of them didn't even turn on their oil lamps.
Ruan Jiu followed behind Sun Wukong and walked cautiously along the way. Villages in the dark often give people an inexplicable sense of fear. Unconsciously, the terrifying experience of childhood began to emerge in Ruan Jiu's mind.
Sun Wukong had been walking in the front, and when he saw Ruan Jiu lowering his head and not speaking, he asked curiously, "Xiao Jiu, what are you thinking?"
"Huh?" Ruan Jiu was slightly stunned, and after reacting, he asked softly, "Senior brother, did you say that there will really be ghosts here?"
Sun Wukong smiled faintly: "If there is a ghost, won't we know for a while?"
Ruan Jiu's face was slightly pale, but fortunately, the moonlight was dim, but it was not easy for people to notice.
The two walked along the main road of the village. After about a stick of incense, nothing happened around. Just when Ruan Jiu was secretly glad that he had not encountered a ghost, Sun Wukong, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
"Senior brother?"
Ruan Jiu frowned and asked in a low voice.
"Shh......h
Sun Wukong turned back to her and made a silent gesture at her, while motioning for her to look ahead.
Ruan Jiu squinted his eyes lightly and looked carefully in the direction that Sun Wukong was pointing. I saw that under an old locust tree more than ten meters away from the entrance of the village, a black figure was standing quietly under the tree.
Seeing this, Ruan Jiu couldn't help but gasp. Both hands unconsciously grabbed Sun Wukong's arm.
Sun Wukong was slightly surprised, but when he saw Ruan Jiu's nervous expression, he finally understood the reason for the matter. So he smiled and said, "So you're afraid of this!"
Ruan Jiu's face was slightly red, and he didn't say a few words for a long time.
Sun Wukong stretched out his hand and patted the back of her hand, comforting: "Don't be afraid, no one can hurt you with me!"
Hearing Sun Wukong's words, Ruan Jiu's nervous mood was slightly better.
However, when she looked at the old locust tree at the entrance of the village again, the whole person was stunned.
I saw the figure that was originally standing under the tree, but at some point, his feet were off the ground, and the whole person hung in the air on the trunk.
Ruan Jiu was startled, she had seen this scene in horror movies before.
In the middle of the night, a figure hung silently from a tree. Anyone who sees this scene will feel extremely frightened.
Ruan Jiu's body trembled slightly, and his eyes were fixed on the figure hanging from the trunk of the tree. To be honest, if Sun Wukong was not around at the moment, with Ruan Jiu's fear of ghosts, I am afraid that he would have run back in fright. Although because of the distance, Ruan Jiu couldn't see the person's appearance clearly. But that kind of coldness and fear from the heart still gave Ruan Jiu goosebumps all over his body.
Looking at the figure under the tree in front of him, the corners of Sun Wukong's mouth rose slightly.
"It's finally waiting for you. ”
After saying this, Sun Wukong turned into a golden light and flew towards the old locust tree at the entrance of the village.
Ruan Jiu's heart suddenly cooled for a while.
What about a team of two? Senior brother, senior brother, you're too tricky, aren't you? I said earlier that I wanted to protect her, but in the blink of an eye, I ran away without a trace.
