 After passing Gaojiazhuang, this is already Xiniu Hezhou. Along the way, Duanmu Huai and Sun Wukong also had a great time traveling around the mountains and slaying demons.

Of course, for Duanmuhuai...

“That Tathagata is really talking nonsense and disturbing people’s tranquility.”

 “Why did Master say this?”

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s complaint, Sun Wukong also curiously asked. Following Duanmu Huai, he had already known that this man was not a devout follower of Buddha at all.

No, let alone piety, this monk has nothing to do with the monk at all. Not only does he love drinking and eating meat, he also has no compassionate heart for a monk. Every time he goes to a fairy world, he will never kill all the monsters inside. Give up. To use Duanmu Huai's words, "It is the Buddha's business to forgive them, and my duty is to send them to see the Buddha."

Well, as for Sun Wukong, those monsters were completely distraught under the power of Duanmuhuai. They couldn't even enter the hell, and it was impossible to see the Buddha.

However, Sun Wukong himself is not an honest person. When these two are put together, they feel like they have similar personalities - sometimes Sun Wukong even feels that his master is more ruthless than him. He thinks that what he was most proud of back then was causing trouble in heaven. , if this person goes up, I'm afraid the Heavenly Palace will be demolished...

"You know, when I first learned the scriptures, the Tathagata once said clearly in front of everyone: I have appeared in the four major states, and the good and evil of all living beings are different from each other. Those who conquer the divine continent in the east should respect the heaven and the earth. The heart will be refreshed and the air will be calm; the giant in the north will be victorious. Although people from Luzhou like to have children, they only live hand to mouth and have a clumsy temperament. They don’t practice much. I, people from Xiniu and Hezhou, are not greedy and do not kill, and nourish their energy and potential. Although they are supremely true, everyone has a long life; but the Southern Gift Department People in China are greedy for sexual pleasure and happy for misfortunes, and they kill a lot and fight a lot. It is the so-called murderous place of words and a sea of ​​right and wrong... Well, if you ask me, it's all bullshit!"

 Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai also snorted and dismissed it.

What Tathagata said is very simple. To put it simply, Xiniu Hezhou where he lives is a lighthouse of freedom where no one steals or robs, and no one closes his house at night unless he picks up items on the road. However, the Tang Dynasty was an evil dictatorship characterized by greed for sexual pleasure and misfortune, and many killings and strife. So I have three volumes of the Scripture of the Lord of Freedom. You have to come and get it, and then go back and let your Tang Dynasty become a beacon of freedom like me.

The results of it?

“Ever since we entered Xiniu Hezhou on horseback, there have been monsters every day. I have never encountered so many monsters in the Tang Dynasty!”

 Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai was also furious and cursed loudly. This is what you, the Tathagata, say about not being greedy and not killing, nourishing energy and potential, ensuring longevity for everyone, and being the master of freedom, right?

Everyone has a gun, and shooting freely is the master, right?

You are like a monster in Xiniu Hezhou who has been hunting and eating people for three days, and you still want me to learn from your silly and realistic scriptures? If I don’t kill you to go to Lingshan, demolish the hall like you idiot, and chop off the head of Buddha like you, I will write your name upside down!

Before Duanmu Huai came out of confinement and went to Xiniu Hezhou, he only encountered two or three monsters and kittens. But after entering Xiniu Hezhou, the monsters were flying in the sky and crawling everywhere on the ground. Duanmu Huai even killed them. annoyed!

"When I get to the West, I will kick the bald donkey's lotus seat, pull it and ask it, you idiot from Xiniu Hezhou, do you still want me to learn from the Tang Dynasty? In the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty, when all the nations came to court, I didn't pick up things on the road, and I never closed my house at night. . You Xiniu Hezhou is full of monsters and ghosts, running rampant, killing people and setting fires, doing all kinds of evil. What kind of post bar thing is this, and you want us to learn it? What a joke!"

That is to say, distance brings beauty. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was fooled by Guanyin. It was just that the Tang Dynasty was too far from Xiniu Hezhou. In this era, there were no live broadcasts on the Internet or TIKTOK. Hearing Guanyin boast so awesomely, he was also fooled. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was confused and suspicious of life, so he asked Tang Monk to get the Western Scripture.

  After all, what they say is true, so there is nothing wrong with learning from advanced foreign experience.

What if you want the other party to talk nonsense?

 Just losing one or two people, what’s the loss?

“What Master said is not unreasonable...”

Hearing what Duanmu Huai said, Sun Wukong also believed it. It used to be a ruthless child that caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace, but when Sun Wukong was in the mortal world, he didn't do too many evil things. Even if they went to the underworld to change the roster, went to the Dragon Palace to grab a stick, and then went up to the Heavenly Palace to play tricks, they were not like the monsters in Hezhou, Xiniu. They were really fierce in their folk customs, shouting and killing at every turn. It is commonplace to eat people and so on. Even he, the Monkey King, has never seen monsters in other places so rampant.

So Sun Wukong also began to wonder, you said that the Buddha was so compassionate, why didn't he go to save so many monsters in his own land, but insisted on going to the Heavenly Palace to cause trouble for me, the old grandson? Look at this place where you see a little devil taking three steps and a big monster taking five steps. How can you pretend that even the Buddha and Bodhisattva didn't see you? Could it be that, as Master said, everyone is a blind man playing interstellar?

 I, Old Sun, just stole a peach, held a banquet, beat up a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, and didn't even mention killing people or setting fires.

 Does that old bald donkey really have something on his mind?

While talking, a tea shop appeared in front of them. The two of them were thirsty and tired after walking all the way, so they dismounted and went to the tea shop to ask for tea and rest for a while.

While Duanmu Huai and Sun Wukong were having tea, they saw a few businessmen sitting next to them, looking here frequently. After a while, one of them stood up, walked to Duanmuhuai, and made a long bow.

“May I ask if you two are the holy monks who went to the West to obtain scriptures and succumbed to demons along the way?”

 “Oh? How did you know?”

 “Where did the holy monk come from?”

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, the businessman suddenly smiled and spoke.

"The names of the two of you have spread throughout Xiniu Hezhou. It is said that the two hate evil and kill demons along the way. No matter how powerful the ghosts and fairies are, they will be captured by the two of you. And one of you is as tall as a mountain, with an angry look, and the other He has a furry face and a stooped body, and he is paired with a divine white horse. It’s hard to admit his mistake.” “So what’s the matter?”

Duanmu Huai didn’t reply, he just asked. You see, this is the benefit of having a good reputation. Unlike Tang Seng, that idiot, who has a good skin but is stupid and doesn't even have any skills. You are still a monk, don't you know that monks rely on their reputation to cheat money and sex?

"It's like this. Our group is planning to go to Baoxiang Kingdom. I heard that the road has been uneven recently, and there are often monsters and monsters coming in and out. If the two holy monks don't mind, can we go together..."

  “It doesn’t matter.”

Duanmuhuai didn't care too much. He had encountered similar things several times after entering Xiniu Hezhou. They were either farmers going out or businessmen carrying goods - more importantly, you could actually encounter monsters if you followed them.

 This is also the reason why Duanmu Huai and others have become more and more famous along the way. When those people arrived safely, they would naturally spread the word, and people's words could be heard faster than a phone call. So Duanmu Huai hasn't reached Xitian yet. You see, this famous name has already spread throughout Xiniu Hezhou.

With Duanmuhuai's agreement, the old businessman was also overjoyed, thanked him again, and then turned and left.

The two parties finished having tea, rested for a while, and then set off again. The old merchant also introduced their group to Duanmu Huai and Sun Wukong. In addition to the old merchant, there was also a young master of the merchant and a group of young merchants. According to the old merchant, these boys were the first Once I came out, I was going to Baoxiang Country to pick up the goods and then come back. Everyone was in high spirits - well, it's understandable. Young people come out to have fun. In this era, there are no computers, TVs, dance halls, and KTVs. It's hard to go out for fun. It’s also a good pastime.

Hearing that the old businessman invited two monks to go with him, the young men were obviously a little unhappy. However, after seeing Duanmu Huai, they all fell into silence. They were not like the rogues in the book who were blind and ignorant—— Nonsense, with a height of two and a half meters and a fist as big as a purple gold bowl, no one would know Taishan.

 Unless it's a blind man.

This is why Duanmu Huai has never minded this kind of thing. After all, as soon as he stopped there, any normal person would know that this big man was not easy to mess with. It's not like those protagonists who pretend to be pigs and eat tigers. They are looked down upon by others and don't take it seriously. They wait until the crisis is in danger and then rebel and kill. Duanmu Huai has no such intention. He doesn't hold grudges and will avenge them on the same day. .

But just when they were about to set out on the road, they saw the young master walking out, accompanied by a woman. Although she couldn't be said to be charming, she was quite pretty. Seeing this woman, the old businessman was stunned.

“Master, what are you doing...”

 “Hello, my lord.”

 When she saw the old businessman, the woman also gave him a polite gift.

"My daughter's name is Cui. She was originally from Benyang. My parents were greedy for money and sold me to a wealthy family to be their concubine. But the eldest wife of that family was jealous and kept beating, scolding and humiliating me. She couldn't bear it anymore, so she took care of herself. I want to go to my relatives in Baoxiang Kingdom, but I am a weak woman, single, and the mountain road is dangerous. I happened to meet the young master, who is willing to take me for a ride..."

"this………"

Hearing the woman's words, the old businessman frowned, while the young master stared at him.

"How is it? Father, this woman is really pitiful. She happens to be on the same road as us. It would be better if we go together, so we can take care of her."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　]

The old businessman here was silent, but Sun Wukong took out the golden cudgel and was about to hit the woman, but Duanmu Huai, with quick eyes and quick hands, caught her.

“Master, what are you trying to stop me from doing? That’s a monster!”

 “Of course I know she is a monster.”

Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes and stared at the woman. Even without his piercing eyes, he could still smell the strong smell of blood on the woman's body.

This thing... hmm, could it be a white-bone spirit?

"This guy is not easy to deal with. Don't rush to take action now. I'll wait for my teacher to think of a way to deal with her."

Of course Duanmu Huai will not let this guy go, but he also knows that if it is a white-bone spirit, this guy is good at disguising, and if he wants to really deal with her, he has to find a reason.

 Otherwise, these idiot brats might have been possessed by the Bone Demon long ago.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai also made a decision in his heart.

“When they get on the road, we will follow them to see what the monster plans to do.”
