Seeing a holy monk misses life

Farewell to Su Yi, the four master and apprentice continued on their way.

When they arrived at the imperial city of Xianzhou Kingdom, they first went to the posthouse to deal with the customs clearance documents, rested for a night, and then left by boat to the west.

After crossing the river and leaving the border of Xianzhou Kingdom, they walked forward for more than half a month, and then walked into a mountain with lush vegetation.

The mountain shape of this mountain is quite vague, and the winding roads and rivers are like giant dragons entrenched, revealing the sense of layers of mountains and peaks between the winding and circling.

This season, although it was approaching midsummer, the air in the mountains was still cool because the surrounding trees were tall and handsome, and their luxuriant branches and leaves covered the scorching sun from the sky.Even Zhu Bajie, who has always been afraid of heat, rarely sweats without heat.

At this time, a long and sharp chirping sound suddenly appeared in the air.Immediately afterwards, a vigorous goshawk quickly flew over the heads of the four masters and apprentices.

This eagle flies extremely fast, with well-developed wings, strong and vigorous, sharp claws and a sharp beak.

Zhu Bajie raised his head, only in time to catch the back of the eagle flying by, "That's a goshawk, the tail of its feathers seems to be red, it's very special!"

Sha Wujing nodded: "It's red, I saw it too."

Sun Wukong added: "There are a few strands of gold in the red."

As soon as Monkey King finished speaking, the goshawk, which had already flown away, suddenly turned around and flew towards the master and apprentice with spread wings.

In just a few seconds, the goshawk landed on a tree directly in front of Chu Zi and the others.It folded its vigorous wings, stood on the branch with both feet, lowered its head, and stared straight at Chu Qi with its round gray-black eyes, with a bit of spiritual sharpness in its laziness.

Chu Zi discovered that the feather color of this goshawk is indeed quite special, the overall color is gray, and the curved part of the tail is composed of a large area of ​​deep red and a small area of ​​gold.

From the bottom of the gray eyes to the position of the eagle's beak is a deep black pattern like thick ink.

Sha Wujing couldn't help sighing: "This eagle looks so beautiful!" It is smaller than the eagle, but larger than the average eagle.

Even Sun Wukong nodded in agreement.

Zhu Bajie followed Sha Wujing's words and said: "And it seems to be very psychic." Zhu Bajie's voice showed a bit of eagerness, "I kind of want to catch it."

Chu Zi said: "This goshawk should be raised by someone."

In short, it was the owner who made Zhu Bajie stop thinking about it.

When Zhu Bajie heard what Chu Zi said, Zhu Bajie, who understood what Master said, explained with a playful smile: "Master, I'm just talking, that's all, besides, I..."

Before Zhu Bajie could finish his words, a flute suddenly sounded not far away.

The sound of this flute is clear and ethereal, with a melodious and gentle rhythm, but the melody and tune are very strange, and the style is very different. It sounds like an ancient sacrificial chant tune.

But overall, it sounds pleasant.

When the flute sounded for about ten seconds, the goshawk that had been parked on the tree flapped its wings, flew away from the spot, and flew towards the direction of the flute sound.

Chu Zi looked at the goshawk flying forward: "It seems that the flute player is very likely to be the owner of this goshawk." After saying that, he looked at himself and wrote three apprentices: "Go on."

Sun Wukong nodded.

Zhu Bajie replied, "Okay."

Sha Wujing silently weighed the luggage on his shoulders.

Because the direction from which the sound of the flute came was the direction the four masters and apprentices needed to go to, even though Chu Qi and the others had no intention of exploring the flute player, they could hear the sound of the flute more and more clearly as the distance got closer.

It wasn't long before the four masters and apprentices saw a young man in red on a thick birch tree in front of them.

The boy was sitting on a branch of a tree, with his back leaning against the main trunk of the birch tree, with one leg stretched out and the other drooping casually, and he was playing the bone flute in his hand with slightly lowered eyebrows.And the goshawk just now was hovering beside the young man.

Sensing the arrival of the four masters and apprentices, the young man in red stopped playing the flute, turned his head to the side and lowered his eyes to look at Chu Zi and the others.

Now, Chu Zi also saw the whole picture of the boy in red clearly.

This boy was about sixteen or seventeen years old, handsome in appearance, with very clear eyes, and his pupils were as black as the sky of a midsummer night.But completely different from the clarity of the young man's eyes, is the somewhat seductive eye shape of this young man.

The end of his eyes, which are a bit like peach blossom eyes, are slightly raised. The eyelids above the eyelashes are painted with a layer of dark red oil paint, and the center of his forehead is also painted with the same color oil paint.The pattern of this oil paint is like a silver hook hanging upside down.

But this is not the most special thing about the teenager.

The most striking thing about this boy is his clothes.

He wore a lot of shiny silver ornaments on his body, and his clothes were extremely bright red, with complex and thick black totems drawn on them.On his left ear, hung a gray feather pendant, and around his neck and wrist were silver bracelets.

The whole gives people a sense of gorgeous and ostentatious impact.

This dress is very similar to the costumes of the Miao people.

After the young man's eyes swept over the four master and apprentice, he stopped his gaze on Chu Zi's face.He stared at Chu Zi with those dark and bright eyes for several seconds, surprise and joy appeared in his pupils, exuding a bright brilliance, the joyful eyes seemed to have found the most beautiful gem.

Sun Wukong frowned slightly.

Zhu Bajie simply straddled his feet and used his body to block the young man in red from looking at his master, and said nervously, "What are you looking at?" His tone was sour.

Hearing this, the red-clothed boy ignored Zhu Bajie, and jumped down from the birch tree.

After he stood up straight, Chu Zi found that the young man was very tall and tall, half a head taller than him, and the young man was obviously still in the growth period, and he should grow taller. few.

Not only is he tall, but his body looks very strong, and the armband on his arm makes the young man's strong muscles looming.This boy is very similar to that goshawk, giving people a kind of vigor and vigor with appropriate advantages.

Here, Zhu Bajie, who was completely ignored by the boy in red, suddenly felt a little upset. He couldn't help but raised his voice and said to the front: "Hey, didn't you hear me?"

This time, the boy in red finally gave Zhu Bajie a reaction. He glanced at Zhu Bajie with some disgust, and covered his ears: "I'm not deaf." on the boy's shoulders.

Zhu Bajie sneered: "Then you won't answer?"

Hearing this, the young man looked past Zhu Bajie, looked at Chu Yu behind him, raised his hand, pointed at Chu Yu and said, "Isn't that obvious? I'm looking at him."

Zhu Bajie rolled his eyes: "Of course I know, I mean why do you keep staring at my master!"

When the young man heard this, he immediately cast a sideways glance at Zhu Bajie with a mentally retarded gaze, which made Zhu Bajie feel furious.Just when Zhu Bajie couldn't help getting angry, the young man suddenly smiled and said, "Of course it's because he is good-looking!" The young man's voice was not very deep, and his accent was a bit strange.

Because of the boy's overly honest and simple answer, Zhu Bajie was rarely at a loss for words.

The boy glanced at Monkey King who had been silent all this time, then at Sha Wujing who was carrying the luggage, and finally fixed his eyes on Chu Zi again.

He took a few steps forward, and the silver jewelry on his body made a slight noise, and against his face, the whole gave off a strong sense of vigor and perverseness.

When he walked to a position about half a meter away from Chu Zi, the young man stopped, but leaned forward slightly, his gaze was level with Chu Zi's, staring at Chu Zi's face very seriously, and said with a bright smile: " Brother monk, you look so good."

He didn't hide the liking in his eyes, and frankly said the words of praise, with strange accents and descriptions, very similar to the special language of the place.

Zhu Bajie was puzzled: "Weighing the head?" What does this mean?

Sun Wukong guessed: "It should mean good looking."

The boy in red said calmly, "Sure enough, monkeys are smarter than pigs."

As soon as he said this, the eyes of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie became sharp instantly, and even Sha Wujing became vigilant.

The boy in red suddenly smiled, "Don't be nervous, you guys."

Zhu Bajie said sharply: "Who are you?"

The boy in red replied, "I am who I am."

Monkey King sneered, "You know what we mean."

Seeing this, the young man in red turned his head slightly, and pursed his lips lightly, "Okay, I smelled it," he shook his head after saying that, "No, to be precise, it was my bugs smelling it. "

Chu Qi's expression moved slightly: "Bugs?"

"Yeah," the red-clothed boy saw the handsome white-clothed monk addressing him, and his tone became lighter and more enthusiastic, "My Gu worm." As he said, he spread his palm, only to see a small worm crawling from his palm. Slowly crawled to his fingertips.

"I'm very good at Gu skills." The young man said with a bit of show off, he was about to move forward to approach Chu Qi, but he was blocked by Monkey King and Zhu Bajie on the left and right.

The young man in red looked at Monkey King from the left, and Zhu Bajie from the right. A cold look flashed across his dark pupils, and he said with some displeasure, "Why are you blocking me?"

Sun Wukong looked at the boy, and answered decisively and directly: "Unidentified people are not allowed to approach my master."

The young man in red snorted lightly when he heard the words, he played with the bone flute in his hand, and said casually: "You come here from afar, shouldn't you declare your identities first?"

Zhu Bajie wanted to say something more: "You..."

But just as Zhu Bajie opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the boy in red. He raised his eyelids lazily, and asked in an anticlimactic manner: "So who are you? Where are you from?"

Zhu Bajie: "..." This young man deserves a beating.

Chu Zi patted Monkey King on the shoulder lightly.

Sun Wukong paused slightly, and looked back at Chu Zi.

Chu Zi nodded slightly at Sun Wukong.

Only then did Sun Wukong move away, and while making room, he did not forget to hold Zhu Bajie's collar by the way, so that Zhu Bajie should not stand in front of things.

After the line of sight was no longer obstructed, Chu Qi clasped his hands together, performed a Buddhist ceremony to the young man in red, and said, "The poor monk's surname is Tang, and his Dharma name is Sanzang. These three are my apprentices. We came from Tang Dynasty. , went to Leiyin Temple in Xitian to worship Buddha and ask for scriptures."

Hearing this, the young man in red looked Chu Zi up and down again, and then introduced his name: "My name is Xie Hengyue, and all the uncles and sisters in the tribe call me Ayue." He smiled at Chu Zi Said: "Brother, you can call Hengyue."

Chu Zi keenly grasped the key point in the words of the boy in red: "Tribe?"

Xie Hengyue nodded: "Yes." After he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, and said slowly: "Oh, yes, if you want to go west, you must pass through our tribe."

Monkey King asked: "Where is your tribe?"

Xie Hengyue turned slightly sideways and pointed to the west: "Go forward for more than ten miles." After answering Monkey King's question, he turned his gaze back to Chu Qi: "I can take you there and guide you."

Sun Wukong didn't speak, he seemed to be thinking.

Zhu Bajie glanced at the direction of Xie Hengyue's finger: "We don't need you to lead the way."

Xie Hengyue sneered: "Without me leading the way, your westward journey might end here."

Sun Wukong's eyes turned cold: "What do you mean?"

Xie Hengyue spread out his hands: "That's the literal meaning." He slightly pursed his lips, and said unhurriedly: "A dozen miles or so further on from here, we will arrive at our tribe. In order to prevent the origin Unknown outsiders entered, and a layer of poisonous mist was set up around the tribe as a protective barrier."

Zhu Bajie was startled: "Poisonous fog?"

Xie Hengyue glanced at him: "That's right, poisonous mist. Anyone who trespasses will bleed to death no matter they touch it or smell it."

Monkey King said: "If you lead the way, what can I do?"

Xie Hengyue said: "Of course I have my own method, you just follow me." At the end, he looked at Chu Yu, and his tone was much gentler: "So brother monk, will you follow me?"

Chu Zi thought for a moment after hearing the words, then nodded slightly: "Then there is trouble."

"No," Xie Hengyue shook his head lightly, raised his index finger to correct Chu Zi: "You should say: Then I'll have to work, Heng Yue." His tone was serious, his face was serious, and he looked very confident that Chu Zi didn't say that. He didn't intend to lead the way.

Sun Wukong: "..."

Pig Bajie: "..."

Sha Wujing: "..."

Not only the three of Monkey King, but even Chu Zi was a little speechless.

But he quickly smiled, staring into the eyes of the boy in red, and said in a warm voice: "Then I'll have to work, Hengyue."

Chu Zi's voice was low and sweet, like the evening wind blowing gently on a summer night. There was a slight magnetism in the clear and pleasant voice, and when it permeated into people's ears, it added a bit of touching tenderness.

Now, Xie Hengyue was not only happy, but also a little red at the base of his ears.

"Brother, you have a really nice voice." His compliment was as straightforward as ever, generous and undisguised.

Chu Zi smiled slightly: "Lead the way."

Xie Hengyue nodded, and specially emphasized: "My brother follows me, and you follow behind my brother."

As soon as Xie Hengyue's words fell, the goshawk on his shoulder seemed to understand Xie Hengyue's words, spread his wings and flew, hovering in the mid-air in front of him.

Xie Hengyue raised his eyebrows: "You are more active than me."

After speaking, he turned around and walked forward.

Chu Zi stepped forward and followed.

Sun Wukong led the white dragon horse and walked behind Chu Qi.

Zhu Bajie was carrying a nine-toothed rake and Sha Wujing was walking side by side, carrying a load of luggage.

Looking at the young man in red walking in the front, Zhu Bajie asked Sha Wujing beside him in a low voice: "Junior Brother Sha, do you think this guy can believe it?"

Sha Wujing thought for a while, and said, "I think we should ask the elder brother."

"That's right." Zhu Bajie nodded, quickened his pace, walked to the other side of Monkey King, and asked in an extremely low voice: "Brother, do you think this young man is trustworthy? Is it possible that he is a monster in disguise?"

Sun Wukong has the golden eyes of fire, and can see through monsters pretending to be mortals through the evil spirit.Although Zhu Bajie can also feel some evil spirits, he doesn't have the ability to see through them at a glance.

It is precisely because of this that, if they encounter some mortals who behave strangely along the way, they will hand over the task of identifying whether these people are monsters in disguise to Monkey King as the big brother.

At this moment, Monkey King heard Zhu Bajie's words, and before he could answer, the boy in red who was walking in the front stopped.

Xie Hengyue turned his head, tilted his body slightly, and looked at Monkey King and Zhu Bajie behind Chu Qi: "I'm not a monster."

Zhu Bajie was surprised.

Sun Wukong's eyes also froze, and there was more thought in his eyes.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for this young man named Xie Hengyue to hear Zhu Bajie's voice.

Xie Hengyue raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you surprised?"

Chu Qi asked him: "Is this also because of your Gu worm?"

Xie Hengyue nodded, and then pointed to the white dragon horse led by Monkey King on the other side: "On the mane of this white dragon."

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie immediately looked at the white dragon horse's mane when they heard the words, and sure enough, they saw a small bug that was only a quarter of the size of a fingernail flying out of it.

The color of this little bug is dark red, and its appearance is somewhat similar to that of a ladybug, but a ladybug cannot fly, but this bug can, and its flying speed is not slow at all.

Soon the little Gu worm flew to Xie Hengyue's fingertips, and then he touched his earlobe, and another same little Gu worm flew out from his feathered earring.

Chu Zi looked at the two little Gu worms in Xie Hengyue's hands, and couldn't help being a little curious: "Does this little Gu worm have a name?" Chu Zi felt that the connection between the two Gu worms in Xie Hengyue was very similar to the modern world. The kind of wireless earphones, one end is on my side, and the other end is on the other side where I want to listen to the news.

"It's called a winged insect." Xie Hengyue moved his fingers, and the two little winged insects consciously flew into the small bamboo tube hanging on his waist.

Chu Zi looked at the small green bamboo tube on Xie Hengyue's waist. The surface of this small bamboo tube was engraved with complicated patterns, like some kind of blessing pattern in Miaojiang, which was very similar to the pattern on the joints in his hand.

Zhu Bajie asked curiously: "Did you put a lot of Gu worms in this bamboo tube?"

Xie Hengyue didn't answer directly, but lightly touched the bamboo tube on his waist, and said with a half-smile, "Do you want to see it?"

Zhu Bajie hurriedly waved his hands, thinking that the inside might be full of Gu worms, he panicked.

Seeing this, Xie Hengyue sneered, turned around and continued walking.

Sun Wukong looked at Xie Hengyue's back, his eyes deepened a little.There are so many Gu worms on this young man, before he was not aware of it, he forced the thing called a winged worm to fly into the white dragon horse's mane.

It seems that he has to be more vigilant, especially for some small flying insects around him that he would have ignored in the past, he should pay more attention and beware.

Suddenly, Sun Wukong said directly to Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing: "You two must be vigilant, and you must not be careless."

What he said was not only to Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, but also to remind himself.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing nodded: "We know."

After hearing Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing's affirmation, Monkey King quickened his pace and narrowed the distance between himself and his master.

He said to Chu Zi: "Master, be careful of this young man."

Sun Wukong didn't deliberately lower his voice when he said these words, and he wasn't afraid that the person in the words would hear them.

Chu Zi nodded slightly.

Xie Hengyue, who was walking in the front, didn't stop, nor did he turn his head to look at Monkey King. He played with the white jade bone flute in his hand very leisurely, with an unclear smile on his lips.

And the corners of the eyes painted with red oil paint, along with the smile in his eyes, added a bit of both good and evil.

Chu Zi looked at Xie Hengyue in front of him, thought of the series of performances of this young man, roughly analyzed the young man's character, and had some ideas in his heart.

This young man named Xie Hengyue said that the tribe he was in was not far in front of him. Calculated according to the distance, they had already gone about one-third of the time.

As he walked forward, Chu Qi found that the surrounding sky was getting darker, and the surrounding vegetation became more lush. The tall pagoda trees and birch trees stood tall and straight, and the extended branches and leaves blocked the sunlight.

Not only that, as they got closer to the tribe Xie Hengyue mentioned, there were fewer and fewer birds on the beast trees on the ground.

After the four of them followed Xie Hengyue for two-thirds of the distance, the surrounding air was filled with white mist.

Going forward, the white mist gets thicker.

In the end, the smoke was almost so thick that people's vision became blurred, they couldn't see the people around them, they could only see themselves, as if they couldn't see their fingers.

Xie Hengyue's voice came from the front: "Follow me closely."

Hearing the words, Sun Wukong quickly came to Chu Zi's side. He has fiery eyes of pure gold, and his eyes are a hundred times sharper than ordinary people, so at this moment, in the eyes of others, he is so white that he can't see anything. It was blurry, but he could still see the road about two meters ahead.

It was precisely because of this that Sun Wukong, who came to Chu's side, stretched out his hand without even thinking about it, and held the hand beside Chu's vertical side: "Master, don't worry, I won't let you get lost."

Sun Wukong made a promise with firm eyes, as if to deepen his credibility, his hand subconsciously clenched a little more.

Chu Zi knew that it was Sun Wukong who was thinking about his safety, but he slightly lowered his head to look at his right hand, which was tightly held by Monkey King, and said, "Wukong, you are holding it too tightly."

As soon as Chu Zi said this, Sun Wukong realized that he was holding it too tightly, so he relaxed the strength in his hand.

But also because of Chu Zi's words, Sun Wukong's attention, which was originally on the road ahead, unconsciously turned to his palm.

Feeling the warm and delicate touch in his palm, Sun Wukong suddenly felt that the place where he and Master's skin touched became very hot, and the heat spread all the way up his palm, along his arm It quickly rushed to his throat, giving him a thirsty feeling of lack of water.

Sun Wukong's Adam's apple couldn't help rolling up and down, and his heartbeat, which was originally beating steadily, began to speed up, and even his walking pace became a little chaotic.

And I don't know if it's because of the whiteness all around, his vision is obstructed, he can hear the shallow breathing of the master very clearly.And not only that, Sun Wukong even had the illusion of hearing his own heartbeat.

After thinking about it this way, Monkey King found that his palm was getting hotter.

Will Master feel it?Will you feel hot?

Sun Wukong's thoughts began to wander uncontrollably, and his earlobes buried in his hair turned red.
