Journey to the West: Godly Choice

Chapter 166

When the old man heard what Tang Sanzang said, he smiled and waved his hands, saying,"Saint monk, there is no need to be like this. I have let it go. Now my greatest wish is to take good care of my grandson and raise him to adulthood. In this way, I can go to see my son without worry."

Tang Sanzang opened his mouth. He didn't know how to comfort the old man.

"Old man, I have always been clear about gratitude and resentment. If you give me a meal today, I will ensure that your grandson will have a smooth life."

Sun Sheng put down his chopsticks and said with a smile on his face.

After that, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the child next to the old man.

""Swoosh!"

A golden light shot out from Sun Sheng's palm, flew towards the child, sank into his brows, and disappeared.

"this……"

The old man looked at the scene in front of him, his mouth opened in shock, and he was at a loss.

The situation in front of him was beyond his understanding.

"Haha!"

Tang Sanzang smiled and said to the old man:"Old man, with this finger of Sun Dasheng, your grandson's life will definitely be smooth sailing. He may not be rich, but he will definitely not be poor."

The old man was shocked when he heard Tang Sanzang's words. He hurriedly pulled the child to Sun Sheng and said respectfully:"Thank you, holy monk. I have nothing to repay you. If there is an afterlife, I would rather work like an ox or a horse to repay the great kindness of the holy monk."

"Elder, please stand up. I am not a monk, but a protector."

Sun Sheng raised his palm upwards and said

"Buzz……"

An inexplicable force appeared, holding up the old man, making it impossible for him to kneel down.

The old man was not stupid, he knew that he had met a noble person, the means of this young man in front of him were just like the means of the immortals in the legend.

""Thank you, Immortal!" the old man said with great respect.

The child was too young and looked at his grandfather's actions with a puzzled look on his face. He didn't understand what was going on.

"There is no need to thank me, old man. This is the reward for treating us to a meal and letting us stay overnight."

Sun Sheng smiled and said.

The old man thought for a while and said,"Immortal, you may not want to be kowtowed by me, but you can't refuse to be kowtowed by my grandson, right?"

After that, the old man said to the child with a serious face,"Abao, come, kneel down and kowtow to the immortal."

"Yes, Grandpa."

Abao was very well behaved. Although he didn't understand why he had to kowtow to Sun Sheng, he listened to his grandfather very much.

"Plop!"

A Bao knelt down in front of Sun Sheng and said,"A Bao kowtows to the Immortal."

"Haha!"

Sun Sheng shook his head, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he said:"Abao is really good, you have to be filial to your grandparents in the future, understand?"

Abao nodded heavily:"Yes, Abao knows"

""Get up."

Sun Sheng waved his hand, and a gentle force lifted A Bao up.

""Hey!"

A Bao's eyes widened, and he looked very curious. He just thought it was fun and didn't know what it meant.

Then, everyone started eating happily, and the atmosphere was very good.

……

After dinner

, the old man took Abao to bed.

"What a simple old man."

Tang Sanzang said to himself, with a faint smile on his face.

"Sanzang, what have you realized?"

Sun Sheng said while lying on his bed.

"" Ah?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang showed a trace of astonishment on his face, and looked at Sun Sheng blankly.

Sun Sheng shook his head, looked at the night outside, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and said aloud:"Forget it, go to sleep."

Tang Sanzang frowned. He felt that Sun Sheng's words were related to the essence of Buddhism he had said before, but he really didn't understand the relationship.

With doubts in his heart, Tang Sanzang lay on the bed. He was a mortal. A day's journey made him very tired. Soon he fell into a deep dream.

In the middle of the night!

Three uninvited guests came outside the house.

These were bandits from the nearby mountains. They usually robbed houses and did all kinds of evil.

"Look, there are two horses in this yard."

"I remember there were two old guys and a little kid living in this yard. Where did they get the money to buy two horses?"

"Why bother about it? Since our brothers have seen it, the two horses belong to us. We will search their house later to see if there is any money."

"That's right, let's do it."

"……"

The three bandits discussed with each other and slowly moved towards the yard.

The yard was surrounded by a fence, which could not stop the three of them.

"Bang!"

A bandit kicked open the gate and rushed into the yard with a shining long knife in his hand.

The three bandits had clear division of labor. Two of them went to lead the horse, and one went straight to the old man's residence.

"Bang!"

The bandit kicked the door open again, glanced around the room with a fierce look in his eyes, waved the long knife in his hand, and shouted:"Old man, if you know what's good for you, hand over all the money in your hand."

The old man, the old woman, and Abao were all awakened by the bandit, and fear appeared in their eyes.

"Grandpa, I'm scared."

A Bao looked terrified and hid in the old man's arms.

"A Bao, don't be afraid, your grandparents are here."

The old man comforted A Bao, turned around, picked up a small wooden box, took out some silver from it, handed it to the bandit, and said,"Good man, I'll give you all the money I've saved over the years, please let us go."

""Swish!"

The bandit snatched the money from the old man and said viciously,"Old man, stop playing tricks on me. Who are you trying to fool with this little money? Hurry up and give me all your money. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Good man, this is really all the money I have."The old man said pleadingly.

""Swish!"

The bandit stretched out his hand and grabbed A Baoling in his hand. He shook the shining long knife in his hand and said with a ferocious face:"Old man, don't play tricks on me. I advise you to be honest and give me the money obediently, otherwise your grandson's life will be gone."

"Grandpa...Grandma……"

A Bao was held in the arms of the bandits, struggling constantly, with a look of fear on his face.

"Please spare my life, I really have no money left. I kowtow to you, please let my grandson go.……"

The old man begged desperately and even knelt down to the bandits

……

The noise in the courtyard woke Tang Sanzang up

"Great Sage, there is so much noise outside, has something happened?"

Tang Sanzang asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Yeah."

Sun Sheng nodded, looked at the dark night sky outside, and said,"Three bandits came outside."

"Bandits!"

Tang Sanzang was stunned when he heard that.
