[Journey to the West] Wukong purchasing

Wu Hao squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the man outside the door who was holding an iron chisel in both hands, and was walking in with a roasted whole lamb, couldn't help touching the beard that didn't exist on his chin, and picked on the ground pickily. I glanced down and nodded with satisfaction: Not bad!Although this monster can't see its roots for the time being, but judging from its posture, it should be someone who can cook.

That's him! ! !

Tang Xuanzang couldn't help having a headache when he saw this picture of picking goods.

Boss Wu's consistent style is "this treasure is destined for me", and he can't walk away when encountering good things. Although he can't smell the attendants who came in just now, which one is transformed by a monster, but his intuition tells him , there must be monsters (Boss Wu thinks it is useful) in it, otherwise, he would not show such an expression.

The attendants were about to leave when they came in with freshly prepared delicacies, but the young man who was carrying the roasted whole lamb stayed behind. Zhou Zheng, but his eyes are orange, which looks very different from ordinary people.

"Master, I'll peel a pomegranate for you." Seeing the monster look up at Tang Xuanzang quickly, Wu Hong secretly felt that it was funny, but he didn't care too much, so he found an excuse to sneak up next to Elder Tang, and took out the golden cudgel. It became the size of a brush, and drew a seat-sized circle for Elder Tang under the seat.

There is no way, Elder Tang is delicate and weak, if he really fights, it will be bad if he accidentally hurts the old man, so he can only draw a circle to protect him first.

Tang Xuanzang glanced at Wu Cong speechlessly. Boss Wu smiled and broke open a fist-sized pomegranate with his bare hands. The force was too great, and several pomegranate seeds were crushed, leaving a lot of pomegranate juice on his hands, making them sticky. It was very uncomfortable, but fortunately there was a maid waiting beside him, and immediately took a wet handkerchief to wipe his hands for him.

However, what Wu Kong and Tang Xuanzang didn't expect was that until the man cut up the roasted whole lamb, put away the knife and stepped back, he never looked at Tang Xuanzang again.

"Isn't this guy here for Tang Priest's flesh?" Wu Hao glanced at Elder Tang and touched his chin. Could it be that they gave up learning the scriptures, and the attraction of Tang Priest's flesh also disappeared?

"Not necessarily, maybe this monster didn't dare to think of being a teacher after seeing you." Elder Tang gave him a mocking look.

Wu Kong silently gave him a supercilious look.I couldn't help feeling a little regretful: If the monster didn't do anything, how could he find an excuse to arrest him (to be a cook)?

The chefs in this house are very skilled. The lamb is roasted so tender on the outside and tender on the inside, and the seasoning is just right. What's even better is that I don't know which cook made the haggis soup. It's so fresh that people's tongues almost swallow it. Wu Hao originally wanted to take a few bites and go for a stroll in the yard, looking for the little monster who could cook, but he didn't expect that after the haggis soup was served, he would completely ignore the matter of finding a cook.

Drink the soup first, the cook can't escape anyway.

Boss Wu still underestimated the charm of Tang Monk Meat.

Seeing the people around him drinking the incomparably delicious mutton soup, one by one, and falling limp on their seats, Wu Kong habitually went to look at Elder Tang who was sitting next to him.

According to the plot of the original book, every time this happens, Elder Tang must be the first to be caught by the monster.

did not expect--

"Huh? Master, why are you alright?" Wu Hong looked in surprise at Elder Tang who was sitting next to him with clear eyes.

"Do you really hope that there is something for the teacher?" Elder Tang sneered, pointing to the roasted whole lamb and haggis soup that hadn't moved in front of him.

He was not mentally handicapped for the losses he suffered under those monsters in his previous life, so how could he forget everything just because he died once?On the contrary, it was because he died once that he was so impressed. He realized that the roast mutton was a monster. How could he dare to eat what the monster brought up?

Boss Wu is so stupid and bold, relying on the fact that Wukong's physical body was refined in the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun, and it is invulnerable to all poisons. It's really all right!

The master and apprentice were fighting with their eyes. Just now the cook with orange eyes came in. He seemed surprised to see that Wu Kong and Tang Xuanzang were not dizzy. However, he quickly regained his composure and turned to Boss Wu. Pulled out a sneer——

"As expected of the famous Monkey King, he has some abilities. Even my scorpion poison can't do anything to you." The man seemed to be quite conceited, and he didn't mind exposing his roots in front of Monkey King. Instead, he looked at it viciously Tang Xuanzang glanced, "This king has been waiting for Elder Tang for a long time."

After all, he stuck out the tip of his tongue and licked his lower lip salivatingly.

Fuck!Where did this middle school monster come from?Wu Cong was thrown into a turmoil all of a sudden, dear, don't you know that all the villains who talk harshly at the beginning usually don't survive three episodes?

On the opposite side, the monster has slowly lowered its body, a layer of dark scales slowly emerged on its dark face, its tail stretched out from behind, with a sharp poisonous thorn at the end, Tang Xuanzang couldn't help but squeeze it tightly fist.

This is a monster he has never seen in his previous life, and he doesn't know if Boss Wu can beat this monster. If not, he has a protective circle drawn by a golden cudgel anyway, so it's better to let Wu Cong escape first, and then look for opportunities Find someone to rescue yourself.Thinking of this, Elder Tang turned his head to remind Wu Hong, but he didn't expect this guy to rush out with a whoosh.

The scorpion spirit seemed to be more difficult to deal with than the sister scorpion in the Pipa Cave of the Poisonous Enemy Mountain. Although Wu Kong was invulnerable to all poisons, he was almost stabbed several times by the scorpion spirit's extremely flexible tail thorn.After going around a few times quickly, seeing that the monster still couldn't be restrained, Boss Wu was completely furious.

He suddenly put away the golden cudgel, flew over the scorpion spirit with a vertical leap, and in the next second, a huge silver-white bucket suddenly appeared on top of the scorpion spirit.

"Fight with me? Master, please teach me how to be good! I'll let you have a taste of the power of high technology!" Boss Wu slapped Scorpion Jing with his arms around his head in a very arrogant manner and fell down.

Tang Xuanzang was close, and watched a large bucket of transparent liquid pouring down. The scorpion spirit was probably taken aback, and looked up reflexively. He didn't expect Boss Wu to be so bad, and he didn't know where to buy it. A large bucket of superglue was brought, and the scorpion essence was poured on the head. The guy still held his head up and his tail was raised high. After being poured with glue, he instantly turned into a transparent scorpion amber...

Tang Xuanzang: "..." I didn't expect Boss Wu to look pretty, but his stomach was full of bad water.

"Crazy, how crazy are you? I still can't deal with you?" Wu Kong jumped on the back of Xie Zijing very childishly, took out the golden hoop, and knocked the golden hoop triumphantly. "Grandpa, let me teach you, this thing is called instant gel water, if it sticks a little, it will stick to it in an instant, there is no special potion, no matter how powerful you are, you still can't break free. Coincidentally, I am going to Chang'an City this time, and I still need a rare thing, so I will bring you there and put it on Chang'an Avenue for people to visit, five copper coins each time!"

After all, regardless of whether Xie Zijing heard it or not, Boss Wu slid off Xie Zijing's body with a chirp, jumped to the ground, and released Tang Xuanzang from the circle.

"Master, do you think it is very rare to take this thing back to Chang'an?" This is a living monster!And it happened to be frozen in the form of a half-human, half-demon, wouldn't it be more rare than the fabricated monsters in those unofficial history books?I heard that Chang'an City has a population of tens of thousands. Even if one person goes to see it once, the ticket money earned is enough for him to set up several properties in Chang'an.

Although a cook was lost, as long as they returned to Chang'an City, wouldn't it be easy to find a good cook?If it’s not possible, please ask His Majesty the Emperor to give you an imperial cook, or an apprentice of the imperial cook. If you really can’t find a cook, at worst, you can go to the restaurant every day. As long as you have money, can you still starve him and Elder Tang?

When he was at home alone, he ate takeaway food for more than ten years, but he didn’t die~

However, looking at the mighty and terrifying scorpion spirit, Elder Tang couldn't help but nodded, and solemnly told Boss Wu: "Don't take it for an exhibition, it's not worth it, why don't I find a temple for you, Let’s say it’s a monster subdued by an eminent monk in the temple, but it can add more incense to the temple, and let them share more with you.”

What the temple seeks is fame, and what Wu Kong seeks is profit. With this terrifying monster, the Buddhist teachings of the temple have the most direct proof, and in this world, no matter how poor people are, when they enshrine their beliefs, they are absolutely I will not be stingy, this is a more long-term business than setting up an exhibition on Chang'an Avenue.

Elder Tang dared to say that for a reason. Aren’t the relics he scattered outside in his previous life the monks who fed so many corpses?Doing nothing all day, just relying on exhibiting his relics and collecting tickets to get rich... Cough!

Boss Wu didn't expect the scorpion essence to be so useful, so he stopped worrying about the cook, and waved his hand to take the scorpion essence to the warehouse, bring it back to Chang'an, and find a temple to collect tickets. Isn't it a descendant? Will future generations be able to lie at home and collect tickets?

Just as he was about to start, an old woman rushed in from outside the door. The old woman didn't know what superglue was. She only saw that the scorpion essence was frozen by Wu Kong's spell. Kun's foot: "Holy Monk! My son doesn't want to kill anyone, he just wants...to ask Tang Monk to protect me from death. I am old and dying, so why bother... I thought he would not listen to me." It's coming, who knows..."

The old woman looked older than his mother, knelt on the ground trembling almost unable to kneel, Wu Kong was soft-hearted, and immediately went to help her up.

"Wait!" Tang Xuanzang grabbed Wu Kong.

In his previous life, he traveled westward to learn Buddhist scriptures, and the worst times he was trapped on the road were all at the hands of old and weak women and children. Sometimes, the seemingly weak and helpless people are the most terrifying.Especially since the scorpion spirit was poisonous, he was very afraid that if the old woman was hiding some powerful weapon given by the scorpion spirit, Boss Wu was not Wukong after all, and he was not as wary of monsters as Wukong.

However, the advantage of Boss Wu is that he has a wink, and he thinks that Elder Tang has the golden finger of the original book, so he will definitely not harm him. Therefore, as soon as Tang Xuanzang grabbed him, he quickly backhanded Tang Xuanzang and retreated several times together. Without further ado, he took out the golden cudgel and drew a circle for the two of them.

Tang Xuanzang: "..."

What Tang Xuanzang didn't expect was that the old woman was really just a mortal.

Seeing that Tang Xuanzang's master and apprentice refused to believe her, the old woman smiled wryly, and could only tell the whole story about her and the scorpion spirit.

It turned out that the old woman and her son were really servants in the house.The old woman is young and widowed, with only one posthumous child. Because of her poor family, she can only take her son to join the rich and powerful, and raise her only son with hard work by cooking.The owner was also kind, seeing that she had only one son to rely on, so she asked her son to join the caravan of the owner. Hu merchants make huge profits. If you are lucky, you can buy a house and land after saving a few years. The old woman originally He also thought that he had survived his life, and he just waited for his son to come back as a merchant, so that he could tell his son about a marriage.

Who would have thought that the master's caravan encountered a sandstorm on the road, and her son would be separated from his companions. At that time, everyone thought that her son was in danger, but the old woman refused to believe it. Into the desert.She had already figured it out at the time, if she could find her son, then mother and son would be reunited, if she couldn't find her son, then it would be meaningless for her to live alone in this world, so she simply died in the desert, so as not to bother her master to replace her. she buried.

Everyone thought that the old woman would not come back again. Unexpectedly, after more than ten days, the old woman came back with a wooden frame tied with branches behind her. The person lying on the frame was the old woman who had already The missing son.

The host is also a kind person. After hearing about it, he immediately asked someone to take the old woman and her son back to the house, and invited a doctor to see the unconscious man. Surprisingly, the old woman's son had a low fever, There was not a single wound on his body.

After a few more days, the old woman's son finally woke up. Only then did everyone realize that his eyeballs had turned from dark brown to orange-yellow!Everyone was a little scared at first, but later heard from the old woman that her son was lost in the desert and could not find food. He was so hungry and ate scorpions in the desert that his eyeballs became infected with scorpion poison. Orange-yellow.

In ancient times, there were no entertainment activities, and there were very few gossips. Once they heard that there were such strange people and strange things, everyone was not afraid. Instead, they tried every means to find excuses to look at the man's orange eyes that were different from ordinary people.After reading it, I have to go back and gossip, and warn children not to run around. If they get lost in the desert and eat a scorpion by mistake, their eyeballs will turn orange.

Everyone didn't know that at this time, the old woman's son had already been possessed by the scorpion spirit, and he was already extraordinary. Only the old woman knew in her heart that the temperament of her son had changed drastically. How could she, as a mother, not notice it?It's just that the old woman didn't say a word, or rather, she didn't dare to pierce the scorpion spirit that possessed her son's body.

She only had this one son, once the scorpion essence ran away with her son's body, what would she do?

However, even the old woman did not expect that the possessed scorpion essence still retained the memory of her son, not to mention the filial piety to her mother as always, seeing her getting old and aging, she was moved, and only said that she heard that there was something wrong with her. Tang Xuanzang, who came to the West to learn scriptures from the Tang Dynasty, was the reincarnation of the elder Jin Chan. A good man who has practiced in ten generations, as long as he eats the meat of Tang Monk, he will live forever.

The scorpion spirit is already a monster, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about his short lifespan. He wants to take Tang's monk meat, but in the final analysis, he just wants to prolong his mother's life.

The old woman didn't dare to say anything and begged, but kept kowtowing to Tang Xuanzang and Wu Kong, begging them to spare her son.If her son was just a mortal, she wouldn't be so afraid. However, her son is already a monster now. After what happened today, even if Tang Xuanzang and his disciples didn't kill him, their mother and son would not be able to stay here any longer. The woman is old and knows that time is running out, but as a mother, she still wants to protect her child after all.

"Forget it! Get up, I don't want this monster anymore." Wu Hong was a little depressed. For some reason, when he saw this woman, he thought of his mother. If it was her, he would believe it, even if he changed After becoming a monkey, my mother will definitely protect me.

Tang Xuanzang pulled him, originally just to prevent the old woman from pretending to be innocent and trying to harm him, since the old woman only begged for her son's life, and the scorpion spirit didn't really hurt them, for the sake of the old mother's kindness , is not unforgivable.

only--

"Your son has shown his true face this time. Humans and monsters are different. I think this family treats your mother and son well. Come to think of it, you won't take revenge and kill someone, right?" Tang Xuanzang couldn't help but slapped him.

He was afraid that he and Wu Hong had just left, and the monster on the back would not be willing to take his mother away into the desert, so he would just keep going and break into the city to occupy the king's city. It's not like monsters have never done this kind of thing.

After living a new life, Tang Xuanzang understood a truth: one must not sacrifice more innocent people in order to protect the lives of one or two people because of a momentary soft-heartedness.In his previous life, because he didn't understand this truth, he did many "good deeds" that touched him, but inadvertently hurt more innocent people, and used the lives of others to fulfill his self-righteous "great compassion", which is simply ridiculous .

In the end, although this old woman has a motherly heart, she has been unfaithful to her master since she brought her son who had turned into a monster to her benevolent master without telling her master.Because she couldn't guarantee whether her son who turned into a monster would eat people, once the scorpion spirit hurt this family, it would really be revenge and harm this family.

"Don't worry, holy monk, as long as you let my son go, I will definitely take him out of here, and I will never come back again, and I won't let him hurt anyone's life." The old woman promised hastily.

"Wait here for a moment, Wu Kong, follow me." Elder Tang didn't agree to her immediately, but called Wu Kong aside.

It's not that he doesn't believe in the old woman, he just doesn't believe in monsters.This old woman is old, she is just a mortal, if she wants to live, she cannot do without the place where mortals live together, because she will get sick more frequently and need a doctor more than now.If the scorpion spirit wants to keep his mother's life, he will definitely take his mother to another city. At that time, who can guarantee that this monster will not kill people in order to keep his mother's life?

After hearing Elder Tang's worries, Wu Hong didn't know what to do.They can't take this mother and son on the road, watching that scorpion spirit at any time, can they?

"Did you forget Moli? The pear tree spirit is a ghost spirit, and his roots and feet are pear trees. He is not afraid of the scorpion poison of the scorpion spirit. In my opinion, it is better for you to go and send their mother and child to the hospital. Li Shujing was taken care of by his subordinates. Doesn’t he like to eat mortal food the most? Isn’t the good food cooked by this old woman just right for you?” Tang Xuanzang glanced at the big scorpion spirit, “Besides, this scorpion spirit Strong and strong, I think he is also a good player in opening up wasteland and farming. It is not easy for him to become a man, and now he has to support his mother. If he is killed like this, wouldn’t it be very pitiful for the old man to lose his only relative? He redeemed his merits and planted pears for you."

"That's it...that's fine." Thinking of the inexhaustible incense money in the temple, Boss Wu felt a little heartbroken, but he just made a joke just now. His son caught it, and locked it up like an animal for people to watch?Although he likes money, he is not so mad~

Seeing that he still had a drooping expression on his face, Tang Xuanzang couldn't help being amused, thought for a while, leaned into Wu Kong's ear and whispered: "If you really want to earn this incense money, I will accompany you to find some Buddhas later. Bone relics, there are more people who want to see them, and they are pious, if there is one in the temple, there will always be no shortage of incense and silver."

Boss Wu's eyes lit up, and he immediately decided to listen to Elder Tang. Emma is a Buddha bone relic, not to mention Chang'an local tyrants, does he want to look after it?

However, this scorpion spirit is really fierce, and he was worried that he would cause trouble again if he was released, so Wu Cong could only place Elder Tang in the circle he drew, and asked the old woman to pack her luggage immediately and escort the prisoner herself (Xiongjing) and his family (Xiongjing's old mother) went to find the pear tree spirit.

It was nightfall when we came back, and everyone in the house was awake, huddled around Elder Tang like a quail in a panic.

Originally, they really wanted to ask Elder Tang for protection and let them hide in that circle, but they didn't expect that circle to recognize people, they couldn't get in at all, and Elder Tang couldn't get out. In desperation, Everyone could only stick close to the circle, forming a human wall around Elder Tang, trying to use the holy monk's upright Buddha's light to resist evil spirits.

Yes, eyewitnesses have claimed to have seen the cook in the house transformed into a monster as high as a beam!They ate the barbecue meat and haggis soup given by the monster, and they didn't know if they would be poisoned to death. They were all crying and waiting for that high-ranking disciple, Elder Tang, to come back quickly to save their dog's life.

So, when Wu Hong came back, he saw a pair of eyes full of trust and pleading. Boss Wu was taken aback, thinking that they wanted to borrow money from him...cough!

"Little fairy, help!"

"Little God, save me and wait!"

The crowd couldn't care less about Tang Xuanzang, and rushed over in a swarm, wishing they could hug Wu Kong's leg and cry!

Yaoshou, they actually saw a live monster!They also ate the soup and roasted meat cooked by the monsters themselves. Because they have been in a coma for too long, they can't even vomit now. Maybe they have digested it long ago, and they don't know what kind of poison they got. I can only ask Wu Kong, a living Bodhisattva, to save me.

All the officials here have heard that Elder Tang, a high-ranking apprentice, is a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi. With all his abilities, he can fly through the clouds and ride the fog, and he will definitely save them from fire and water!

"I still think it's something, don't worry, you are not poisoned, it is an ordinary drug." After listening to everyone's crying and complaining, Wu Kong comforted, "And that monster is not a bad person, He was the old woman's son, but he was possessed by the scorpion spirit for some reason. He stunned you, and he didn't intend to hurt you, but mistrusted people's words, thinking that if he ate my master, he would live forever Not old, if he wants to catch my master and feed it to his mother, then he can be regarded as a filial son."

Everyone was dumbfounded, they never expected such a reason!

"I'm afraid that monster is a fool?" After a moment's sluggishness, the accompanying official said with a speechless expression, "If you really eat the meat of Elder Tang, you will live forever. What scriptures did the King of Tang send him to get? If you cut off Elder Tang's flesh and eat it, wouldn't you immediately become immortal?"

Tang Xuanzang: "..."

You don't know that there are still many fools who believe in such rumors on the way to learn from the scriptures.
