Seeing a holy monk misses life

Hearing what Sun Wukong said, Chu Zi also basically confirmed that this is the plot of their arrival at the Flame Mountain.And when the four masters and apprentices walked down the mountain in front, the guess in Chu Zi's heart was well confirmed.

At the foot of the mountain, dozens of people were squatting or sitting. Everyone's skin was very dark and their bodies looked rather thin.

Chu Zi got off the white dragon horse and said to Sun Wukong: "Wukong, give these people the bread."

Sun Wukong nodded: "Okay."

While Monkey King was splitting the pancakes, Chu Zi walked up to an old woman who seemed to be in her fifties, clasped her hands together, bowed slightly, and performed a Buddha ceremony to the old woman.

Seeing this, the old lady quickly returned a gift to Chu Zi.

Chu Qi asked warmly: "Old man, what is this place?"

Monkey King also said: "And what about the burning mountain in front?"

Pointing to the front, the old woman replied, "The mountain in front is called Huoyan Mountain, and it burns all seasons regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter." After saying that, the old woman looked at Chu Zi, and then at Monkey King, " Are you going there?"

Chu Qi said: "We are here to go to Leiyin Temple in the West to obtain the scriptures, so we must go there."

When the old woman heard this, she shook her head and said, "But the Flaming Mountain is not an ordinary mountain. Even if you have a copper brain and an iron body, if you want to go over the Flaming Mountain, it will turn into juice."

At this time, Zhu Bajie also came over, squeezed between Chu Qi and Monkey King, bent down, and asked with a smile: "Then there is no other way?"

Hearing this, the old woman thought for a while and said, "On Cuiyun Mountain, a thousand miles away from Flaming Mountain, there is a Banana Cave. In the Basho Cave lives an Iron Fan Fairy, who has a magic weapon named It is a plantain fan that can extinguish fire."

The old woman said, looking at Chu Yu: "If you can borrow a plantain fan and use it to extinguish the flames, you should be able to cross the Flame Mountain."

Zhu Bajie nodded, "Then it's not difficult." Zhu Bajie glanced at the thoughtful Monkey King: "Senior brother, if I remember correctly, the Iron Fan Immortal is the first wife of the Bull Demon King. Are you the same as the Bull Demon King?" It’s not a problem for you to borrow a plantain fan from your sister-in-law if you want to make a sworn brother.”

When Chu Zi heard what Zhu Bajie said, he also turned his attention to Monkey King.Chu Zi remembered that in the original plot, when the four masters and apprentices came to the Flame Mountain, it took a lot of effort for Monkey King to ask Princess Iron Fan to borrow the fan.

Because Princess Iron Fan hated Sun Wukong for separating her from Red Boy's mother and child, she naturally didn't take kindly to Sun Wukong who went to borrow the fan. .

But these are the plots in the original Journey to the West.

Since Chu Zi became Tang Sanzang, the trajectory of the westward journey has begun to shift.The four of them, master and apprentice, still headed towards the Xitian Leiyin Temple, but the route was different from the original route.

It is precisely because of this that Chu Yu and the others did not meet Hong Haier, the son of Princess Iron Fan.Because they didn't meet each other, the four masters and apprentices naturally never had conflicts with Honghaier. In this way, if Monkey King borrowed the banana fan, it should not be as twists and turns as in the original book.

Thinking in Chu's mind, Monkey King walked around to Chu's side and said to Chu, "Master, you stay here, I'll go to Cuiyun Mountain right now."

Chu Zi nodded: "Okay, be careful."

Sun Wukong: "Master, don't worry." After he finished speaking, he looked around and thought for a while, and he was about to say something more, but Zhu Bajie urged: "Brother, hurry up, borrow a plantain fan to destroy the Flame Mountain, and the weather is also going to kill you." It won't be so hot."

Sun Wukong glanced at Zhu Bajie: "Protect Master well."

Zhu Bajie responded: "I know, I know." Zhu Bajie didn't think there would be any monsters in such a hot and dry place, and he was willing to take root here and become king.

Sun Wukong looked at Sha Wujing again.

Sha Wujing received Sun Wukong's gaze, patted his chest and promised: "Senior Brother, hurry up, Second Senior Brother and I will protect Master well."

After being affirmed by Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, Monkey King summoned somersaulting cloud.

But when Sun Wukong was about to leave, he seemed to think of something, took out the golden cudgel, and drew a golden circle around Chu Zi: "Master, don't step out of this circle."

Chu Zi said: "Okay."

Now, Monkey King was relieved, jumped on somersault cloud and headed towards Cuiyun Mountain.

As soon as Monkey King left, Zhu Bajie sat next to Chu Zi, and fanned Chu Qi with his hands, "Master, will it be cooler this way?"

Seeing that he was sweating profusely from the heat, Chu Zi came to fan him to dispel the heat, and said softly, "Bajie, you don't need to do these things."

Zhu Bajie smiled at Chu Yu, showing a mouthful of white teeth that looked very pleasing: "Master, this is my own pleasure."

Chu Zi shook her head lightly, a smile appeared in her eyes.

Seeing this, the old woman asked, "Holy Monk, where are you from?"

Chu Zi said: "The poor monk came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty."

The old woman looked surprised: "So it's an eminent monk from Tang Dynasty."

At this time, a little boy also walked in front of Chu Zi.

The little boy was very thin, his skin was very dark, and his eyes were also very dark, like black glass at night.He stared straight at Chu Yu with his big eyes, and praised with a smile: "Brother, you look so good-looking." His voice was clear and sweet, and when he laughed, the two small dimples on his cheeks were also faintly visible.

Chu Zi smiled softly: "You are also good-looking, with a pair of beautiful eyes."

Hearing Chu Zi's praise, the little boy's eyes lit up, and the smile on his face became even brighter, but soon, as if he suddenly thought of something, the light in his eyes dimmed again.

Seeing this, Chu Zi asked, "What's wrong?"

Hearing this, the little boy glanced at Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, and after hesitating for a moment, he still said: "Brother, are you very powerful? I just heard that your big apprentice is related to Iron Fan Immortal. Can you... ...Can you save my brother?"

"Your brother?"

"Yeah." The little boy nodded in a depressed mood, "My brother was captured by a monster."

Sha Wujing was startled: "There are monsters around here?" He looked at the old woman, "Old man, do you know what's going on?"

The old woman was also a little surprised. He didn't answer Sha Wujing's question immediately, but asked the little boy first: "Ah, your brother was captured by a monster?"

The little boy hummed in a low voice. He grabbed his trouser legs with both hands, and tears welled up in his eyes: "Just last night, that monster took my brother away."

Chu Zi said: "Old man, what do you know?"

Hearing the words, the old woman turned her eyes to Chu Yu, sighed softly, and said slowly: "Actually, there were no monsters here in the early years, but for some reason, a monster came half a month ago, and that monster lived alone in the flames. Shanxia, ​​who doesn’t eat people, has never caught anyone, and has never had any contact with us.”

The little boy said: "But just yesterday, that monster captured my brother."

Zhu Bajie asked, "How old is your brother?"

The little boy replied truthfully: "It's about the same age as this holy monk brother."

Zhu Bajie asked again: "Is the monster male or female?"

The little boy shook his head: "I don't know." At the end, he added: "I have never seen the real face of a monster."

Zhu Bajie looked at the old woman.

The old woman also shook her head, "The old woman has never seen it either."

Zhu Bajie rubbed his chin, thinking that this monster is a bit strange, and he would choose to come to this place with poor resources. Could it be that there is some mystery hidden at the foot of the Flame Mountain?

He thought about it, and said it.

The little boy didn't understand these things, nor did he understand the twists and turns that might exist in it. He thought very simply, because seeing that the four master and apprentice Chu Qi were not mortals and seemed to have very powerful supernatural powers, he wondered if he could invite them Help save my brother.

"Brother Saint Monk, can you?" The little boy looked at Chu Yu expectantly.And as if to make himself appear sincere, the little boy took two steps forward, wanting to get closer to Chu Yu, but just as his toes touched the golden circle painted by Monkey King, he was bounced off by a flash of golden light, and there was a bang. fell two meters away.

The little boy was also strong, and he insisted on not saying a word.

Chu Zi hurriedly stood up, wanting to walk out of the golden circle to help the little boy on the ground, but Sha Wujing stopped him: "Master, I'll go."

After saying that, he took a few steps to the little boy and helped him up from the ground: "Are you okay?" Sha Wujing asked, with a bit of concern in his tone, but a flash of thought flashed deep in his eyes.

The little boy raised his head, met Shangsha Wujing's eyes, and smiled reluctantly: "I'm fine."

At the moment when the last word fell, there seemed to be an undercurrent flashing in the little boy's eyes.It was at this moment that Sha Wujing's mind suddenly went into a trance.

Something is wrong!

Sha Wujing was vigilant for a moment, but just when Sha Wujing was keenly trying to grasp the reason for this change, it seemed that something suddenly erased the vigilance in his mind.

In the next second, it was as if nothing had happened.

Sha Wujing helped the little boy to Chu Zi's side.

Zhu Bajie looked at Sha Wujing, as if he was asking something.

Sha Wujing shook his head lightly.

But there was a vague feeling of weirdness in my heart.

Chu Zi glanced at Zhu Bajie next to him, then at Sha Wujing, and probably guessed that the two apprentices had some doubts about the little boy because of the golden circle, and the two looked at each other, as if they were A test of communication skills.

Reining in his thoughts, Chu Zi shifted his gaze to the little boy.

He didn't feel any evil spirit on the little boy.

But the golden circle drawn by Monkey King with the golden cudgel really repelled the little boy from approaching.

Chu Zi looked at the golden circle of light surrounding him on the ground.

Does the golden circle repel all strangers, or just repel evildoers pretending to be demons?

If it is the former, then it means that there is nothing wrong with the little boy's identity, if it is the latter...

Chu Zi looked at the twenty or so people around her...

The little boy obviously knew these people, and the relationship was still very close.If there is a problem with the identity of the little boy, then there may be some problems with these twenty or so people.

In this way, things got a little complicated.

Thinking of this, Chu Zi looked at the old woman who was talking to him.

And the old lady happened to be looking at Chu Zi.

Looking at each other, the old woman smiled lightly at Chu Zi.
