Journey to the West, one of the fist saints

Chapter 22 Fengshan Village

In the early morning, Sun Wukong Tengyun went to the mountainside not far away to pick up fresh fruit. After tasting it, he felt that it was sweet, delicious and full of juice.

He returned to the tree with four or five fruits in his hand, put them in a cloth bag and handed them to Xuanzang.

After Xuanzang washed, he ate the fruit and squinted his eyes to enjoy it, "Not bad, very sweet!"

Seeing his master eating happily, Sun Wukong scratched his head and the back of his hands and grinned happily. He picked up the burden with a Zen stick and carried it on his back, ready to go on the road.

"Let's go, eat the same food while walking!"

After Xuanzang finished speaking, he spit out a fruit core from his mouth, and then took out a fruit from his cloth pocket and held it in his mouth. He did not have the image of an eminent monk at all, but looked like a worldly urchin.

The master and apprentice continued to move forward. This plain seemed to be very large. In the afternoon, they came to a canyon surrounded by mountains.

The mountain walls on both sides are steep and smooth, and it is difficult for flying birds. The canyon stretches to endless distance, and is blocked by a strange white mist without seeing the end.

The dense fog was strange, but the two of them were not afraid, and stepped into it.

As soon as he entered the thick white fog, Xuanzang felt a cold aura lingering around him. An ordinary person would definitely tremble unceasingly from this cold aura.

"Master, the mist here contains the aura of Yin veins, and I'm afraid it will breed something unclean!" Sun Wukong reminded, and after speaking, his eyes burst into golden light, and two golden beams shot out from his eyes, breaking through the mist, To the endless distance.

Xuanzang pondered for a moment, but he felt a little anticipation in his heart.

It seems that we are about to encounter a monster?

Rubbing his palms, he licked his lips and asked, "Wukong, what did you see?"

Sun Wukong's face was a little gloomy, he withdrew the golden light in his eyes and said, "There is a mountain village two hundred miles away, and the situation is not very good!"

"The situation is not good?!" Xuanzang was curious.

"It seems to be controlled by some kind of monster, raised in captivity, and used as food." Sun Wukong explained, with a strange expression on his face.

As Zhong Tiandi's outstanding Lingming Stone Monkey, he also practiced authentic Daoist formulas, so he naturally wouldn't eat people to improve his cultivation, so he felt very disgusting towards these people-eating monsters.

After hearing this, Xuanzang felt a little angry, "These demons and goblins are too presumptuous!"

Although the Heavenly Court monitors the Three Realms, it is not strong enough to control every place. If the local land and mountain gods do not report to them, no one will take care of them.

Incidents of a certain demon king swallowing up a city or even a small country happen frequently, and some gods in the heaven can only turn a blind eye.

Some monsters have a deep self-cultivation, and they have added a few treasures to protect them, or have a strong backing. As long as there are no too vicious incidents, they will not attract heavenly soldiers and generals to attack them.

"Wukong, call the land to ask about the situation!" Xuanzang said to Monkey King with a serious expression.

Sun Wukong nodded, stepping on the Shashen Jue with his footsteps secretly, stomping his right foot on the ground and shouting: "Old man of the land, come out and talk!"

The ground shook for a while, and the strange fluctuations spread far away.

Fengshan Village, Earth Temple.

This is a small earthen temple one meter high, the eaves of the temple are broken, and holes have been eroded by wind and rain.

The temple gate is a [-] cm high wooden frame door. Looking from the outside to the inside, the inside is extremely dark and there is no incense.

In the dark environment, a wooden statue of the Lord of the Earth was entwined with a strand of black spider silk, and a cold ghostly air emanated from the spider thread.

The strange fluctuations were transmitted to this small temple from afar, and the statue of the Lord of the Earth shook instantly.

"Old man, come out and talk!"

"Old man, come out and talk!"

……

Successive echoes sounded in this earth temple.

The statue of the land god shook rapidly, and a faint golden light burst out from the statue, as if it wanted to break through the shackles of the spider web.

"Jie Jie... Land, don't struggle anymore. After a while, let me swallow you successfully with a hundred blood sacrifices, and you will be able to transform yourself into a land with a radius of a hundred miles in this mountain village. At that time, you will eat a boy and a girl every once in a while." You won’t be afraid to recruit heavenly soldiers and generals!” A strange voice that was neither male nor female came from outside the temple, as sinister as glass scraping metal.

A five-foot-tall black ghost-faced spider protruded from the shadows. Its huge black body was as tall as a three-story building, with eight slender and sharp limbs with sickle-like barbs, and twelve black eyeballs inlaid with it. On the head, a strange green is reflected in the pitch black.

The head of a seductive woman is printed on the huge stalk of the abdomen. At this time, the voice comes from the mouth of the seductive woman. The face is smiling sweetly, but the voice makes people shudder.

Sun Wukong stomped the ground several times in succession, but when there was no response, he said in embarrassment: "Maybe the land here is out and not at home!"

"Then let's speed up and try to get to the mountain village you mentioned before dark!"

After finishing speaking, Xuanzang started to run, and by the way, made several sets of today's 10-kilometer run.

Xuanzang's speed was extremely fast, and Monkey King followed closely behind, without seeming to be struggling. Although it was a full two hundred miles away, the two of them traveled swiftly all the way, and they arrived in front of the mountain village in a short while.

There were strange cries from time to time in the thick white fog. The two were extremely fast. They only occasionally encountered a few slow-moving carrion corpses, but due to their lack of mobility, they couldn't attack them at all.

On the half-broken stone tablet, the word Fengshan was engraved, and the rest of the word could not be seen clearly.

It was clear that the sky was bright and bright, but this mountain village was eerily quiet, and only women and old people with stern faces came out to act.

The fog has disappeared near this mountain village, as if some power can drive away the fog near the mountain village.

The houses are lined up one after another on the hills, surrounded by wooden houses, stone houses, and high-walled courtyards. There are nearly hundreds of families, about 2000 people.

Xuanzang was silent for a moment, and led Monkey King into the village.

The surrounding villagers turned a blind eye to him like walking corpses. When they walked to the ancestral hall of Fengshan Village, an old man covered in dirt suddenly came up to talk to them when he saw them.

"This monk is from outside the village?!" The unkempt old man had bloodshot eyes, and his voice was weak.

Xuanzang supported the old man with one hand, fearing that he would accidentally fall and drive west, he said, "The poor monk is a monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty who went to the Western Paradise to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. His Dharma name is Xuanzang!"

The old man's bloodshot eyes suddenly lit up, "It's saved, it's saved, it turns out that it's a mage from Dongtu Great Tang, please save us Fengshan Village!"

Sun Wukong couldn't help being a little curious after hearing this: "You old man, don't rush to scream, tell me where the monster is?"

When the old man turned his head, he saw a monkey with a rough face and a thunderous mouth approached him, his face turned pale with fright, and he opened his mouth wide: "Ah! Monster!"

Then he rolled his eyes up and passed out.

Xuanzang was speechless, he glanced at Monkey King with disgust, and said, "You monkey, don't you know that you can scare mortals with your appearance?"

Sun Wukong scratched his head, his expression sullen, "Damn! Master, don't blame me! My old grandson has just changed!"

After speaking, he cast a spell and turned into a round-faced young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
