Reborn Jinshan Temple

Chapter 96 The Cat and the Mouse
With Xuanzang's decision, the matter was settled like this.

Zhu Bajie went to Huangfengling to subdue the demons first, but Li Yi and the other three followed the hunters to the village where they lived.

The land on the mountains and rivers is barren, and there is not much land that can be used for farming. The villagers mainly live on hunting. A large amount of food prepared a sumptuous fast meal for them.

At the dinner table, everyone was talking, and without knowing it, they talked about the matter of the Great Sage Huang Feng.

According to these villagers, the Yellow Wind Monster has never done any vicious acts of cannibalism in recent years, but since he made his home on Huangfeng Ridge, the villagers never dared to go hunting there again. They can only trek across mountains and rivers to hunt in Futu Mountain, which is farther to the east.The few houses I encountered on the way before were the transfer stations built by the hunters, where they placed some supplies, or were used for temporary rest.

"Where is there a monster that doesn't eat people, it's just that you haven't provoked him yet!" The monkey listened to it and couldn't help curling its lips.

The villagers also believed in this.

The gray-haired old village head looked at the three of them gratefully: "It's all over now, with a few god monks taking action to subdue demons, our life will be easier..."

This is true. Although Futu Mountain is not small, there are far fewer wild beasts in it than those on Huangfeng Ridge at [-] miles away. Coupled with the long distance, the life of the villagers has not been easy these years.

Just as he was talking, someone outside cheered: "Elder Pig is back, Elder Pig is back~"

The crowd went out to welcome him, Zhu Bajie was surrounded by the villagers with his ears drooping, and when he saw Xuanzang and others coming out, he immediately lowered his head.

Li Yi knew it well, and guessed that this guy suffered a loss in the hands of the yellow wind monster.

"Bajie, is things going well?" Xuanzang smiled from a distance, thinking that his sages were not used to the enthusiasm of the villagers.

"Idiot, Master asked you something..." Monkey separated from the crowd and followed.

But Zhu Bajie sniffed and sniffed, let out a haha, and ran into the room without hesitation, as if he hadn't eaten in a few lifetimes, swept away all the vegetarian food on the table.

Xuanzang, who followed in, blushed, and explained to the old village chief in embarrassment: "The poor monk, the second apprentice, has a fat stomach, which made the old benefactor laugh."

"Where, where, I'm afraid that these rough tea and light meals won't catch the eyes of a few gods and monks." The village head laughed, and looked at Zhu Bajie with burning eyes: "Sure enough, he is a good-looking talent, no wonder he can surrender to the great sage of Huangfeng~"

Xuanzang suddenly remembered the villagers' description of the yellow wind monster, looked at the red-faced Zhu Bajie and said, "Bajie, how is the monster now?" In his opinion, although the yellow wind monster is a monster, it has no If you do evil, just drive them away, there is no need to kill them all.

Zhu Bajie knew that he still couldn't hide in the end, he hesitated for a long time, and told the story of his defeat by the monster with a face of shame.

Xuanzang stood there in a daze, his face turning green and then pale. He had spoken nicely to these two disciples in front of these villagers before, but now he was really slapped in the face.

Seeing the embarrassing atmosphere, the monkey stepped forward and grabbed Bajie's ear, and said angrily: "Idiot, after losing the battle, I still have the appetite to eat so much vegetarian food."

The faces of the villagers who followed in turned pale, and many of them even cried: "It's good that I didn't provoke that monster before, but now that I have provoked you, how will I survive in the future~"

The monkey couldn't see the crying of these villagers the most, and snorted impatiently: "Don't worry, with my grandson here, I will definitely send that monster down for you!"

Xuanzang seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and quickly promoted the ability of his great apprentice.

The few hunters before were skeptical, and asked Li Yi to also take action to subdue the demon. After all, in their opinion, the most powerful monk among these monks was the Master Xuanyi.

Li Yi naturally has no objection to this.

Zhu Bajie also reacted at this time, clamoring to take the crime and make meritorious service.

Although Xuanzang felt flustered about leaving him alone in this village, seeing the eager gazes of the villagers around him, he couldn't open his mouth after all.

Soon, the two of Li Yi, led by Zhu Bajie, came to the lair of the yellow wind monster.

It is said to be a cave, but it is actually a natural cave.

But last time when Zhu Bajie came, he was too arrogant, he didn't enter this hole at all, he just cursed outside, and then he was blown away by the monster, and ran back in fear the village.

Now that the three of them sneaked in, they discovered that the inside was dark and deep, and it was actually composed of countless large and small caverns.

"How do we go next?" Monkey looked at Zhu Bajie who was in a daze, and said angrily.

"How about, let's go this way." Zhu Bajie said with confusion and uncertainty.

"Let's go here, there is a monster here." Li Yi's ears twitched a few times, and suddenly said.

The monkey opened his mouth, why didn't he find any evil spirits, but compared with the clueless pig, the uncle's words are still more reliable.

Thinking about it, he followed.

Not long after walking, the three of them heard a rustling sound coming from the depths of the cave, getting closer and closer.

"Sure enough, there is a demon spirit!" Although Zhu Bajie felt a little unbelievable that Li Yi could bring about ninety-nine calamities, he didn't take it too seriously. After all, he had been a marshal of the canopy for a long time after he ascended to the heavens in his previous life , his cultivation base has already broken through to the peak of Xuanxian, and he has stepped into the realm of Taiyi with half a foot.But now, he began to feel that this uncle was a little unfathomable.

Li Yi was noncommittal, he just made up nonsense about the evil spirit, he just heard the movement deep in the cave in advance.

In the darkness, countless pairs of green eyes lighted up, densely packed, and there were countless grinding sounds of grinding teeth, which made people feel chills in the bottom of their hearts.

They were mice of different colors, big or small, coming like a tide. Even the most knowledgeable monkey could not help but gasp at this moment: "The yellow wind monster is a mouse!" Refined?"

Of course Li Yi knew that the Yellow Wind Monster was a mouse spirit, but he didn't expect that there would be so many mice in this hole.

The strength of these mice is generally not high, and the strongest is only the peak of Qi refining.

But if you are not afraid of violence, you are afraid of being stupid. The disciples and grandchildren of the Yellow Wind Monster all stared at them desperately, obviously ready to defend their king with all their might.

"Bajie, why don't you try changing into a cat. The so-called capture the king first, let's just deal with that yellow wind monster. There is no need to be as knowledgeable as these little guys." Li Yi couldn't help but suggested.

Although it was easy to deal with these tens of thousands of mice, just thinking about that scene made him feel sick for a while.

After hearing this, the monkey's eyes lit up, "That's right, idiot, quickly change into a cat."

Zhu Bajie knew that he lost face to the Yellow Wind Monster this time, so he gritted his teeth and turned into a big tabby cat.

The monkey laughed there: "It's too fat."

Zhu Bajie was secretly annoyed, and walked forward with a "meow".

The surrounding mice gave way in an instant, and Li Yi and the two hurriedly followed. As the mice they met along the way got bigger and bigger, Zhu Bajie was also constantly adjusting the size of the tabby cat.

Suddenly, the ground under their feet seemed to come alive, and sharp soil thorns emerged from the irregular wriggling, blocking their way.

A bigger mouse got out, stood on two feet like a human, and looked at them with hatred: "Damn it, why are there cats on this mountain!"
