[Journey to the West] Wait for me, big brother

Sun Wukong stood in the middle of the street incognito, and he saw people all around him, some were intoxicated with their eyes closed, some were standing under a tree and looking up at the flowers, and some were leaning against the flower tree and drowsy. , the expression on everyone's face is satisfied and happy.

Frowning and walking to a man's side, Monkey King appeared and stretched out his hand to push him: "Wake up, wake up!"

Monkey King's strength was not light, but the man didn't feel it at all, his eyes were still obsessively looking in the direction of the flower tree.

"Is this a demonic obstacle?" Sun Wukong came to the tree in three steps and two steps, and looked up at the blood jade hibiscus carefully.

The whole body of this flower is fiery red, with six petals, the whole flower is as big as the palm of your hand, the stamens inside are golden, shimmering faintly, and a strong floral fragrance comes out from it.

Sun Wukong stretched out his index finger and swiped in the air, a flower fell down. He stretched the tiger skin skirt forward, and the flower fell gently on it.

Looking down at the flower carefully, he couldn't see anything unusual, but he didn't dare to touch it directly with his hands. He held the flower in his hand through his sleeve and raised it up to look at the sunlight carefully. There is a flash of red light, and if you look closely, you will see that the petals withered and turned yellow in the blink of an eye.

"This!" Sun Wukong was surprised, looking around again, all the red flowers that had just been tree by tree all withered, turned yellow and fell to the ground one after another, and the strong fragrance was gone.

At this time, the people on the street were all awake, and they seemed to have no memory of what happened just now. They continued with what happened just now, hawking and shopping, and soon resumed their previous bustle, as if nothing had happened In general, what should everyone do.

The drinkers in the restaurant also returned to normal, returning to the table to continue drinking and chatting.

Seeing that he was all right, Zhu Wu was the first to jump out of the circle, ran to the street in a few steps, came to Monkey King, looked him up and down, and asked with concern: "Eldest brother! Are you okay?"

"Ah? It's okay..." Sun Wukong held up the withered blood jade hibiscus, frowning, "This is really strange."

The two returned to the restaurant and sat down at the table again.

Jin Chan asked, "How? Is there anything strange about it?"

Sun Wukong put the withered flowers on the table and shook his head: "There is no evil spirit, and I have never seen any monsters. It's just that the flowers are strangely red and have a strange fragrance."

When Zhu Wuneng heard this, he turned his head and asked Sha Wujing, "Is this flower like this before?"

Sha Wujing looked down at the blood jade hibiscus on the table, and tried his best to recall the previous situation: "This flower has always been like this, but the fragrance will not be so strong. And although it is very easy to grow, it is not enough for every household to grow it." , but it’s hard to say, after all, I haven’t been here for decades, maybe I’ve changed my habits, but I’ve never seen such withered patches.”

Everyone discussed and discussed, but they didn't have a clue, and they didn't dare to drink anymore.Monkey King asked the clerk to buy two altars of Fuli Drunken Dreams, and bought all the glass cups on the table, and then he left the restaurant with everyone in a small bag.

The six people stood on the street looking around, not knowing how to continue their investigation.Sha Wujing suggested: "Follow this street to the west, there is a wine shop not far away, which specializes in serving Fu Li Zui Meng, why don't you go and check it out?"

After thinking about it, everyone felt that this method was feasible, but Sha Wujing then pointed in the opposite direction: "The intersection to the east is the most famous colored glaze workshop here for making Bodhi Mingche. If you want to go, it's not too far away."

Everyone saw that the two sides were not too far away, so they thought of going to either one first, but Jin Chan pointed to the east direction: "I would like to go and see the firing of the glazed cups first."

"Oh, then first--" Sun Wukong didn't think much about it, and habitually, he would go wherever the master went, and he would go east when he took a step.

Unexpectedly, Jin Chan smiled and waved her hands: "In my opinion, it's better for us to divide our troops into two groups, which saves time and allows both sides to find out."

"That's fine, master and I—" Sun Wukong knew when he saw the iconic smile of the master, and rushed to speak.

Even so, it was still interrupted by Jin Chan: "I will go to Liulifang with Wujing, and you and Bajie will go to the winery."

Ao Yu pointed to herself: "Then what about me?"

Jin Chan smiled and said, "Go back to the inn with Mr. Zhen and look at the luggage."

Ao Yu: "..." I am no longer a white horse, why should I stay in the inn to look after my luggage...

Yang Jian cupped his fists together: "Thank you, master."

Sun Wukong who was dragged away by Zhu Wuneng: Master recently likes to tease little white dragon?

According to the direction Sha Wujing pointed, Monkey King and Zhu Wuneng found the winery smoothly.

The two stood in an inconspicuous corner, Sun Dasheng blinked his eyes, his originally black pupils gradually turned amber, looked in through the wall, Zhu Wuneng stood beside him to let him out.

After a while, Monkey King stopped the spell and said in a low voice, "It's in the backyard, let's go there."

"it is good."

The two used an invisibility method, passed through the courtyard wall and went straight to the backyard.

When I arrived at the backyard, I saw dozens of wine jars with a height of half a person placed side by side in the open space of the yard, and a dozen bamboo mats in the southeast corner were covered with a dense layer of blood jade hibiscus. busy.

"It doesn't seem to be a problem?" Sun Wukong didn't know how to make wine, but seeing these people working back and forth, everyone's eyes were clear and full of energy.

Zhu Wuneng was also surprised: "This winery brews wine, and there are so many blood jade hibiscus, which should have the strongest aroma, why is it not as good as the one I smelled on the street just now?"

Sun Wukong was also puzzled: "Didn't the guy in the restaurant say that Fuli Zuimeng is about to become extinct? I see that there are so many people here, and the business is booming. Could it be that the guy deliberately tricked us in order to raise the price of drinks?"

Zhu Wuneng: "Then what happened to the strange fragrance of flowers on the street just now?"

"This..." Sun Wukong scratched his hair, but couldn't explain why.

After watching it for half a day, I didn't see anything unusual.

Zhu Wuneng looked up at the sun: "It's getting late, master and the others should go back to the inn, why don't we go back first and discuss with the master before making a decision."

Monkey King nodded: "Alright."

The two brothers turned into a gust of breeze and flew back to the inn.

Not long after they left, more than a dozen guys came out to put the sun-dried flowers in the house.The finger touched the blood jade hibiscus inadvertently, and a layer of blood flowed towards the petals along the fingertips in an instant. In a moment, the flower was as if it had just been picked, bright red, and every petal had a faint brilliance flowing. In the bright sunlight, it shone with a strange and ominous color.
