Tang Seng is a cook

Caramel Cake strolled around for a while, Zhuang Fan sat on the horse, looked back, and could no longer see the little Taoist priest, so he turned his head and asked the big apprentice who was following the horse: "Wukong, what happened to those two disciples just now?" Are they all goblins?" Otherwise, the apprentice couldn't keep stopping him from passing.

Bajie, who was following behind, heard this, and opened his eyes wide in surprise, what?goblin?He didn't see it!

Oops!The second time he met a goblin on the road with his master, he missed it unknowingly!

And still missed both!

His third apprentice is so stupid, will he be returned by the master?

Ba Xiaodai was carrying a nine-toothed rake with a dejected expression on his face.

Dasheng looked alert, did not relax at all, nodded, and said: "Well, Master is right, and I see, these two goblins are the same."

As soon as these words came out, it was another heavy blow to Ba Xiaodai!

Zhuang Fan clicked his tongue twice, thinking that this goblin also loves cosplay?It's quite addictive to play. If you want to fight or rob, you just do it directly. What do you want to do by playing like this?And give gifts...

what!correct!

"Wukong, the basket he sent just now..."

Bajie kept the basket well.

The great sage said: "It's some really aged wild ginseng and Huang Jing. Master don't worry about taking it, don't worry about using it!"

Zhuang Fan was even more puzzled, and asked: "Wukong, what is the origin of this goblin? What is he trying to do to stop our master and apprentice?"

Just as Wukong was about to reveal the real body of the goblin to his master, he caught sight of the man crouching on the boulder at the corner in front of him, his pupils shrank, and he said, "Master!"

Zhuang Fan followed his apprentice's eyes suspiciously and was startled.

In front of him, there was a dense mist in the mountains, and on the protruding rocks, there was a person sitting vaguely. This person wore a helmet and armor, and carried a spear in his hand. He looked majestic, and he was dressed as a soldier in a bloody battlefield.

Zhuang Fan reined in the reins, looked at the unmoving figure on the boulder, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "It's him?"

Wukong held the golden cudgel on guard carefully, nodded and said: "Yes! This monster is transformed by a bone spirit. Don't be afraid, master. With apprentices around, this monster is nothing to be afraid of!"

Bone Demon?Zhuang Fan was dazed, unable to remember, he pulled out his sleeve, took out a roll of paper from his sleeve, opened it and flipped through it, and saw that he had written on it earlier: Bone Demon, transformed into a young woman, an old woman, and an old man , was finally seen through by Wukong and killed.

Oh, it turned out to be this unlucky boy!

Zhuang Fan asked his apprentice again: "That basket he sent, is it really a good thing?" I remember that it was the bone spirit who gave Tang Seng the centipede.

Wukong was so helpless, he said to himself that we are about to fight, Master, you are still thinking about his little things, turned around and said to Zhuang Fan: "Master, don't you believe my eyes?"

Zhuang Fan said embarrassingly: "Isn't Master thinking that we can take advantage of others? Wukong, since he is sincere in giving gifts and he doesn't do anything, we must hold on! Remember!"

Wukong nodded, agreed, and said in his heart, next time he will never persuade Master to accept the goblin gift, Master is soft-hearted, and treats the other party as a good person after taking a little thing from him!

A great sage who refuses all bribes on the westbound road is released, and how many goblins sigh!

Only then did Zhuang Fan steer his horse forward, getting closer and closer to the goblin dressed as a soldier, and he could see it more clearly.

I saw this man sitting upright, his armor was torn, covered with large black-brown marks, and there was a big hole in his chest. It couldn't be blown, and the mist hit, and the person creaked and raised his head!

Under the helmet, there was a scene of a skull, which made Bajie almost scream out in fright.

Seeing Zhuang Fan and his party, the soldier shook his broken armor, stood up from the boulder with a clatter, and jumped down with a thud. Then, before Wukong could raise his stick, he clasped his hands and said, "Finally!" I have seen the holy monk, but I am sorry that I am wearing armor, so I can't perform the big ceremony!"

Zhuang Fan saw that he called himself "the last general" and he was in a tragic situation after a bloody battle, he felt a surge of respect in his heart, he quickly got off his horse and did not go over, he bowed together from a distance and said: "General, you don't need to be too polite! How dare the poor monk be so arrogant in front of the general!"

The Bone Essence said in shame: "The general will ask for something from the holy monk, and the holy monk will certainly accept this gift!"

Zhuang Fan wondered: "I don't know why the general stopped the poor monk and his disciples many times along the way, why did he come? The general doesn't need to cover up, if there is someone from the poor monk's help, just say it!"

The bone spirit was so ashamed that his head was about to fall into his chest. It turned out that he had been seen through by the holy monk. It was ridiculous that he thought he had no flaws, but fortunately this time he had a heart-to-heart and saw it with his true colors, otherwise he might end up with the elixir If I didn't ask for it, I would no longer have the face to see others!

Nai Shi said: "The holy monk does not blame the general for his mischief, the general is grateful! The general boldly told the holy monk the truth. The general wants to ask the holy monk for an elixir!"

Zhuang Fan and Hou Zi looked at each other, seeing deep surprise in each other's eyes, secretly thought, this goblin is so well-informed that he actually knows that their master and apprentice have elixir?

Zhuang Fan quickly said: "General, the poor monk here has some elixir, but I don't know what you want to use it for? Which one do you want?" They have a lot of elixir, and the reason is right, so it's not impossible to give one.

Hearing this, the Bone Demon thought that the brush was about to succeed, and was overjoyed. He couldn't help but took a step forward, moved a little more violently, a piece of mail armor fell from his body with a clatter, revealing a broken rib on his chest. Rotten, looking very miserable and desolate.

The demon solemnly cupped his fists and cupped his hands and said: "To tell you the truth, I will come back to life after death. I have wandered around the world so far, and I have reached the critical point of life and death. If I can't go any further, I'm afraid I will disappear between the heaven and the earth. The end will be war." People who die on the battlefield, even if they die again, why should they be afraid! It’s just that the general still has a lot of reluctance to give up in this world at this time, and he is unwilling to be wiped out, so he dares to stop the holy monk here!”

After saying this, the Bone Essence clasped his fists again, bowed his head and said, "I hope the holy monk will show mercy! I don't want much, just an elixir!"

Zhuang Fan sighed, it turned out that he was really a general, it would have been better if he had something to say earlier, he had to play role-playing, so he asked: "I wonder if the general can tell you, your reluctance is..."

Is it a national feud?Is it family hatred?If that’s the case, it’s better to save him...

Hearing this, the bone spirit blushed consciously, but fortunately he was wearing a helmet and standing with his back to the sun, and he couldn't tell from his withered skeleton, so he stammered and said: "In the cave of the last general, there are some young girls ..."

Zhuang Fan's face turned black, and he thought that you are a skeleton, but you are not a little sensual, and you still do it! !

Even if I don’t want to die, I have to fulfill you today!

As soon as I said this, a small skull suddenly popped up from behind the boulder, and called out in a shrill voice, "Madam~Madam~"

When the Bone Demon heard the movement, he was startled, turned his head abruptly, saw that it was Er Zhaodi, and hurriedly said: "Why did you come out? Didn't I tell you to stay in the cave?"

Erzhaodi rushed over, hugged the bone spirit's thigh, looked up, and cried, "Ma'am, it's not good, a big wild boar suddenly came into the cave, rampant, crooked and didn't run away. It crashed and fell apart, and everyone was terrified!"

It just so happened that she was standing at the entrance of the cave and guarding the Cuju Gate, and when the wild boar wasn't paying attention, she ran out to find his wife!

Hearing that, the bone spirit couldn't help but panic, and quickly turned around and said: "Holy Monk, something happened to the little girl in my cave, please stay with me for a while, I hope the Holy Monk will not leave! Please!"

As soon as the words fell, it turned into a gust of wind, engulfing the crying little skeleton spirit, and flew away in a blink of an eye.

Zhuang Fan was taken aback when he saw the little skeleton spirit, but after listening to the conversation between the two, he vaguely felt that he had misunderstood, but he was also worried about the "little girl" that the spirit said, so he said to his apprentice: "Wukong, since the master agreed Give him the elixir, let's go and have a look?"

Look at that Bone Demon's broken and torn posture, he walks away and drops scum, he doesn't look like he can handle a wild boar, if he can't deal with that wild boar, won't the little girls be in trouble?

The monkey frowned, but seeing that the bone spirit was polite and courteous, and he didn't show any malicious intentions, and the elf's combat power was not good enough, so he agreed, so he flew up to the sky to have a look, found the elf's cave, and led his master and Bajie went straight to the Bone Demon's lair.

Bajie wanted to object, but he couldn't say anything about his master and senior brothers, so he pouted, rubbed the back of his neck that was shivering with cold, wrapped his monk's robe tightly, and followed closely behind the horse.

Not long after, Zhuang Fan's master and apprentice came to the cave, and saw a few large characters crookedly spelled out with white bones on it, which read "Nongyu Xiaozhu". The trembling and blooming winter jasmine was overwhelmed.

Zhuang Fan frowned, the name of this cave sounds like a women's boudoir, it has nothing to do with goblins.

Could it be that this bone spirit is a pervert?As a man, he was actually called "Madame" by the little skeleton spirit under his command. What do you think that the cave has such a name?

Zhuang Fan got off his horse and asked Ba Jie to call the door.

Ba Jie was afraid of wolves before, and tigers later, afraid of that skeleton, and he didn't dare to disobey his master, so he went tremblingly, and shouted in a low voice, "Is there anyone inside?"

After waiting for a second, no one responded, so he ran back quickly and said to Zhuang Fan tremblingly: "Master, there is no one inside!" Let's go quickly!

Only then did Zhuang Fan come to his senses, not only could he laugh dumbfounded, but he didn't know that Ba Jie was afraid of goblins.

He touched Bajie's shoulder and said softly: "Don't be afraid, master and brother are here."

Bajie also wanted to cry, he was afraid that he would be returned by the master!He didn't want to go back to Gao Laozhuang to shovel the ground and starve!

Wukong tied the caramel cake to one side, and was about to speak when he came over to see a little skeleton spirit coming out from inside, with a red-headed rope tied on his head through the eye sockets, and a small flag in his hand, jumping up and down He jumped out, only missing a left foot, and staggered.

The little skeleton spirit was exactly the three-stroke girl who reported the letter before, and was sent out by the bone spirit to pick up the holy monk.

As soon as Sanzhaodi went out, she saw Tang Seng and his disciples, she was startled and said "ah", she was taken aback for a moment, and quickly turned back and ran in, shouting as she ran, "Ma'am! The holy monk has come to our house!"

I didn't pay attention for a while, and the stone door fragments under my feet were tripped, fell to the ground, got up crying, and ran in staggeringly.

Even though Bajie was timid, he was so teased that he burst into laughter, and Wukong couldn't help laughing.

Zhuang Fan coughed, and the disciples stood obediently behind him. Not long after, they saw a neatly dressed young woman hurried out of the cave, wearing a cloak and white flowers on her head. , Said: "I trouble the holy monk to come to the humble house. The hospitality is really not good, and the cave is messy. If the holy monk doesn't dislike it, come in and have a seat!"

Zhuang Fan looked at this polite and thoughtful woman in surprise, and then at his apprentice. Wukong understood that the master was asking if this was the goblin just now, so he grinned, tilted his nose, and nodded.

Zhuang Fan was suspicious, and hesitantly said: "I don't know the poor monk, but how should I call him..."

The Bone Essence hurriedly said in shame: "What the holy monk saw before him is his real body. He just spends his days in this cave. In order to take care of the little girls in my cave, he has no choice but to transform into the appearance of my former wife, so that he is called Sheng The monk is a joke! The holy monk calls me a bone!"

Although Zhuang Fan didn't know the details, but after hearing what he said, he still couldn't help saying: "General Gao Yi!"

As long as you don't have any eccentricities, it's fine. Although I'm from modern times, I only need to know one of these women's masters, really!

Because of the courage of his disciples, Zhuang Fan didn't refuse. Following the bone spirit walked into the cave, Wukong Bajie naturally followed him to the left and right, never leaving a single step.

Looking around, Zhuang Fan thought, this is the most shabby place he has ever been to since he traveled west!

It is a naturally formed cave with bare walls and exposed rocks, and there are no ordinary items, but some wooden tables and chairs, stone beds and stone benches.

The cave had been broken into before, but now the ground was in a mess, obviously it was a fierce battle, a wild boar died in the middle of the ground, half of the spear was stuck in his body, and the ground was bleeding, and the other half of the spear lay in the middle of the blood.

The bone spirit's only weapon was broken.

The little skeleton spirits in the hole were chattering and tidying up.

Seeing such a commotion in the cave, the bones blushed and shouted loudly, "Little ones!"

The little skeleton spirits hurriedly put down the items in their hands, stood up straight and shouted in unison: "Yes!"

The White Bone Demon waved his hand: "Come and pay homage to the holy monk!"

A group of little skeletons squatted together and said, "I have seen the holy monk!"

The sound was very homogeneous, but there was another crashing sound immediately afterwards. The crooked four hairs were trampled to pieces by wild boars just now, and now everyone put together some bones and put them together. It was too long, the feet were uneven, I didn't stand firmly, and fell again!

Bone Essence's face was as red as cloth at the moment, and he said shamelessly: "I'm not practicing enough, the little girl is getting tired, let the holy monk see a joke."

Zhuang Fan had a dark face again, thinking that you are training soldiers, or you are bringing a goblin, is it possible that you want to be a goblin Sun Bin?What an ideal!

Finding a flat stone table and stone bench to sit, Zhuang Fan said curiously: "I saw that the little monsters in the cave are all daughters? They seem to be young. The general said that he was reluctant to give up, but for them ?”

The bone spirit thought for a while, and thought that it would be impossible not to tell the truth, so he sighed and said, "This matter is based on my wife's wish before she was alive. If the holy monk wants to hear it, I will make a long story short. How are you?"

As long as he can get the elixir, he will admit to exposing himself! !

Zhuang Fan saw that it was noon at this time, and it would be all right to delay for a while, so he said, "General, it's all right to speak!"

The bone spirit smiled miserably, and recalled: "Before I was alive, I came from a family of generals. Since my great-grandfather, the whole family has guarded the frontiers for the country and fought endlessly. In my generation, it is catching up with the ambitions of neighboring countries. After entering the battlefield, I fought for ten years, and in the end, I was the only one left.”

The lady in Su Yi let out a long sigh. Although she was talking about the tragedy of her family and country, she had no tears in her eyes, and continued: "This national war has been fought for more than ten years. I had just grown up at that time. Bad news came from the battlefield. My last brother , also died in battle. So, on the second day of my wedding, I put on leather armor and went to the battlefield."

"After many years of fighting, the strength of the neighboring countries was too strong. I went away for three years and finally came back victorious. As soon as I entered the door, my grandma and mother waited for me happily. My newly married wife, whom I hadn't seen for three years, also brought Looking at my two-year-old daughter, she looked at me with tears in her eyes."

Zhuang Fan didn't say a word and listened quietly. The monkey was not interested in these things, so he stared at the little skeletons who were quietly packing up. Chewed up.

The Bone Lady continued: "I have been recuperating at home for half a year. During this period, there was so much affection between mother and child, and there is no need to elaborate on the family relationship between father and daughter. It's just that the border war has resumed, and I can only go to the battlefield again."

When the demon said this, his throat choked, "It's just that I won again, and when I got home, what I saw was my sick grandmother, my crazy mother, and my dying wife!"

Zhuang Fan felt something was wrong, frowned and asked, "Where's your daughter?"

The bone spirit clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were red, he still felt the pain in his heart when he talked about it at this moment, and said: "Dead!"

He said with hatred in his heart: "Don't be afraid of the holy monk's jokes, I told the truth today, my well-behaved daughter was drowned to death by my mother!"

Zhuang Fan was shocked, and said: "Why?" He said that he came from a family of generals, and his family has a great career, so it's not that he can't afford to raise children!A living child, raised until he was more than three years old and drowned?

Is this grandmother crazy?

The White Bone Essence smiled sadly, and said: "Because after I left, my wife became pregnant again, but the child was unlucky, it didn't stand up, it was lost!"

He rubbed his dry and tearless eyes, and said sadly: "My mother is looking forward to my wife staying with me, and she has gone crazy. She believed the words of the fortune-teller outside, and said that my daughter's life was hard, and she killed her younger brother. She returned Went to the mansion, sent someone to my wife to pick up my daughter, without batting an eye, watched the maid drown her alive on the spot!"

When Zhuang Fan touched his chest, the pain was severe, and he didn't know what to say. He opened his mouth and only uttered a Buddha's name: "Amitabha!"

The Bone Demon sighed, summoned up his courage, and continued: "My mother disliked my daughter's sudden death again, so she casually discarded her body. My wife had just had a miscarriage at that time, and she was powerless to resist. After hearing the news, she couldn't resist Sick, lingering on the sick bed, holding a breath and refusing to swallow, waiting for me to come back. Not long after I went back, she died of illness. Before she died, she held my hand tightly and told me to find her daughter's bones. Bury my daughter next to her well. I agreed to her, and she didn't close her eyes when she died. Her worry was right. After her death, I was heartbroken and unwilling to face my mother, so I buried her for the first time. I went to the frontier in two days, and I never returned to that sad place until I died." Although I kept sending people to search, I couldn't find my daughter's body...

"Later, probably because I kept this wish in my heart all the time, I actually came back to life from the place where the bones were buried in the battlefield. It's just that I have lost my country and forgotten my family. Where can I find my daughter? I dare not go to the underworld to see me. Wife, I am sorry for her after all. I wandered around the world, and slowly, I saw the bones of many young daughters who died young. They were full of resentment and could not be reassured, because they were afraid and resentful in their hearts, and they did not want to be reincarnated again. I took them I brought them all back and looked after them in the cave."

The white bone spirit pointed at the happy and busy little skeleton spirits, and said: "When I was dying, my face was fierce, my battle robe was stained with blood, and my bones were incomplete. Because I was afraid that they would be afraid and worried, I turned it into memory. My wife's appearance is similar to theirs. get along, so they call me madam. Now, I don't expect to find my daughter's bones, and they are the only ones who worry about it."

The Bone Essence shook his clothes and stood up, gave a deep salute, and said: "I hope the holy monk will take pity on me, and give me the elixir!"

Hearing this, Zhuang Fan sighed deeply, and respectfully said: "Please get up!" He didn't know whether he should call Madam or General...

The bone spirit sat back on his seat, stared at Zhuang Fan with piercing eyes, and said, "Holy Monk, there is an elixir that can wish me through this calamity, so I have nothing else to ask for. Holy Monk forgive me for being reckless, but now I'm already on the verge of disintegration, my bones are torn apart, if I'm not careful, I will fall apart, and it will be difficult to protect the upper and lower parts of this hole!"

Just as he was talking, a little skeleton came over with a clatter, put the two spears he was carrying on the table, and ran away without saying a word.

Bone Essence smiled apologetically at Zhuang Fan, and said, "Don't blame the holy monk, this child was strangled to death by his parents not long ago, even though he died, he always felt a sore throat and didn't like to talk much."

Hearing these words, Zhuang Fan's heart ached and he couldn't help crying. He thought for a while and said, "I don't know, general, what are your plans for the future?"

The bone was stunned, and then smiled helplessly: "I'm just a lonely ghost with an unfulfilled wish. What arrangements can I make? I hope that one day these children can get rid of their grievances, have a good pregnancy again, and be a good person." , no longer suffer such ordeals at such a young age just because she is only a woman."

He sighed sadly, and said: "It's just that I can't do anything... All I can do is to make their lives in this cave a little bit more happy!"

"Other than that..." He shook his head and didn't say any more.

Zhuang Fan was also silent.

After a while, the turmoil in his heart calmed down a bit, and he turned his head to discuss with his senior apprentice: "Wukong, look, what kind of elixir should I take for the bones like this?"

Wukong was holding his arms in a daze, turned around when he heard the words, and said: "Master, I told you not to be sad, he is doomed, no elixir will work, and when the time comes, he will be wiped out!"
