Gourmet daily life with Monkey [Journey to the West]

"Brother Monkey, let's buy a lot of fireworks when we live in Huaguoshan later, shall we?" Tao Tao rested her head on Monkey King's shoulder, admiring the brilliant fireworks.

Next to the dotted fireworks, there are also shining Kongming lanterns, and I don’t know which one she set off.

Monkey King said: "Just fireworks? I think Kongming lanterns are also good."

"Then let's get some Kongming lanterns. Brother Monkey, are Huaguoshan really all monkeys? What if they don't know how to make Kongming lanterns?"

"Not only monkeys, but also many animals, such as cranes, sika deer, unicorns, peacocks, and your big wild boar."

Tao Tao glared at him, and retorted: "I'm Little Fragrant Pig, Brother Monkey, you can't insult our Little Fragrant Pig like that, I'm much prettier than Big Wild Boar."

Sun Wukong touched her head and said with a smile, "Yes, you look the best."

When the two were talking and laughing, they suddenly saw everyone cheering and ran towards Jinping River.

Sun Wukong quickly grabbed a person and asked curiously, "Auntie, what are you going to do?"

The aunt broke away his hand and said excitedly: "You don't even know this? Every year on the Lantern Festival, the river god is sacrificed! Go to the river, the flower boat is coming, and the river god will come out to marry a bride in a while Already!"

After saying that, he ran away happily.

"Does the river god need to marry a bride?" Tao Tao was puzzled, and suddenly remembered that she had met a bride before, but it was a monster from Tongtianhe.

"Let's go and have a look first." Sun Wukong also felt that something was wrong, if the river god is real, then it is against the rules of heaven, if the river god is fake, it must be a monster!

With Monkey King clearing the way, Tao Tao easily squeezed into the innermost of the Jinping River. The Jinping River is less than [-] meters wide, but it is very long, running through the entire Jinping Mansion.At this time, crowds of onlookers were crowded along both sides of the river, all watching the excitement.

There are countless lotus lanterns floating in the river, candles are lit inside the lanterns, and notes are placed, which are the New Year wishes written down by everyone.

"The flower boat is here." Someone shouted, and all of a sudden, everyone looked upstream, and saw a beautiful big boat coming from a distance.

The boat was more than ten meters high, and there were pavilions and pavilions on the boat. The vermilion gates were wide open on both sides. Ten brides in scarlet gowns stood on the decks on both sides of the boat, as if they were waiting for the river god.

A large red flower made of silk was adorned on the bow of the boat, more than a dozen red lanterns were hung on the pavilion, and red happy characters were pasted on the door, which was full of joy.

The crowd started booing, wishing the bride and the God of the River to get married and grow old together.It seemed that in the eyes of everyone, it was such an honor to be chosen as the bride of the river god.

"Brother Monkey, do you have a demonic aura?" Tao Tao felt very sad.

The River God would marry ten brides every year, so the fate of these brides is self-evident.To be killed at such a young age as Hua is, thanks to these people, it is an honor.

Sun Wukong shook his head and just stood there with a sullen face.

As the flower boat approached, Tao Tao saw everything on the boat more clearly.The ten brides did not cover their heads, but covered their faces with round fans, so their eyebrows and eyes could be seen clearly.

With just a glimpse, it attracted everyone's attention.

"They're all so beautiful." Tao Tao admired.

These girls were about seventeen or eighteen years old, all of them were slim and fair-skinned.Just by looking at the eyebrows and eyes, you can tell that she is outstanding, and the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, showing amorous feelings.

When the flower boat came near Tao Tao and the others, the crowd suddenly became agitated, and the two of them noticed that a layer of white mist had gradually formed on the surface of the river. The white mist rose higher and higher, and soon spread to the side of the boat.

"There is something wrong with this fog." Sun Wukong smelled a faint monster aura, and stared straight at the river, wanting to see when the monster would come out.

"Let me in! You all get out of the way!"

"I want to go in too! I want to be a bride too... woo woo woo..."

A girl in the crowd yelled and cried, and then there was a burst of pushing and shoving. Fortunately, Tao Tao was protected by Monkey King, so there was no trouble.

Tao Tao has already found out the plantain fan with one hand, as long as the monster dares to come up, she will not show mercy.

At this moment, the flower boat stopped, and a vortex appeared not far in front of the boat. The vortex became bigger and bigger, and the entire river swayed, and the flower boat swayed.

"The River God is coming out!" Someone shouted happily, and then more people cheered.

The demonic aura became stronger, and Monkey King went to draw the golden cudgel with one hand, but suddenly someone behind him slammed into Tao Tao's back, and Tao Tao's feet became unsteady and fell down.

"River God, take me away with you!" Immediately afterwards, a girl also jumped into Jinping River.

"Peach!" Sun Wukong was startled and wanted to jump down, but suddenly three monsters whose faces couldn't be seen appeared in the vortex. The monsters blew a strong wind and swept away all ten brides.

"It's the river god, worship the river god!" The crowd knelt down one after another, shouting and bowing to the three monsters, silently chanting their wishes.

"Don't go, monsters!" Sun Wukong was furious, and the golden cudgel suddenly hit the three monsters.

The three monsters were taken aback, and they separated two to deal with Sun Wukong, and the other got into the water with the brides.

Such a change made the onlookers change their countenance, and accused Monkey King one after another.

"Where did this reckless man come from? Even the river god dares to charge him. If the river god gets angry next year, what if he doesn't bless my Jinping mansion with good weather?"

"is not that right?"

"But I saw that man is also very powerful, he can fly in the air!"

"What do you idiots know? Those aren't river gods at all, they're monsters!" Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing were also watching the fun by the river, when they suddenly saw Monkey King rushing up, they immediately understood why.

Zhu Bajie refuted it, and joined the battle with Sha Wujing.

Seeing that the helper was coming again, the two monsters looked at each other, jumped into the water, and escaped.

"Eldest brother, do you want to chase after the water?" The three of them all landed on the top of the flower boat, and Sha Wujing stared at the place where the vortex disappeared.

"Stinky monkey, why are you dressed like this... Wait, are you my sister tonight..." Zhu Bajie saw Monkey King's clothes, and immediately remembered the scene he saw before, and his whole body was about to explode.

Like a bolt from the blue exploding in my ears, Stinky Monkey and his sister actually kissed in full view of everyone!

Sun Wukong glared at him, and said in a deep voice, "Taozi was knocked into the river by someone, so she must have been taken away by a monster too. Idiot, let's find a way to save her!"

"You stinky monkey, you can't even protect my sister! I, I really want to kill you with a rake." Zhu Bajie vomited blood in anger, his whole body was not well, and his three views were about to shatter.

"Second Senior Brother, let's talk about this matter later, saving people is the most important thing now." Sha Wujing tugged on Zhu Bajie's sleeve to calm Zhu Bajie down.

"Hey, who are you? How dare you attack the river god?" Someone on both sides of the bank asked loudly, and some wanted to rush into the boat to arrest them.

Sun Wukong said coldly: "Those are not river gods at all, they are monsters! You can't see them with your naked eyes. These monsters deceive ten women every year. What do you think these women are married for?"

"Nonsense, the river god blesses us with good weather, how could it be a monster?" The crowd was shocked and could not accept Monkey King's words at all.

"I think you are the monsters, deliberately framing our Jinping Mansion."

"That's right, you are the monsters. Catch these monsters quickly, and we can't let them continue to run amok."

Angry people pointed at the noses of the three and cursed at them, so angry that Monkey King and the others wanted to deal with them.

Sun Wukong simply ignored them, and the golden cudgel suddenly extended, and a stick plunged into the Jinping River, causing the river to set off huge waves.

"God of the River, Land, hurry up and meet the old grandson!"

After calling three times in a row, two heads popped out of the river, which were the river god and the land.However, the two little gods had bruised noses and swollen faces, so miserable, they flew on the flower boat and knelt down to the three Monkey Kings.

"Grandpa Great Sage, help me. We have been looking forward to it for so long, and finally Grandpa Great Sage is here. You must help us get justice." The two little gods cried so much that they felt wronged.

Monkey King and the others flew onto the deck and asked, "What happened? How dare those three monsters pretend to be the River God?"

The God of the River rubbed his tears and cried, "The Great Sage doesn't know something. Those three monsters are rhinoceros monsters from Xuanying Cave in Qinglong Mountain. Your Majesty, all of you are highly skilled, and the little gods can't beat them at all. They will occupy the caves of the little gods every Lantern Festival, and then kidnap those brides. Please, the great sage, uphold justice for the little gods!"

"Where is Qinglong Mountain?" Sun Wukong was anxious, not knowing what happened to Taozi.

He Shen said: "It's just at the lower reaches of the Jinping River, and it will be there if you walk sixty or seventy miles down."

"Brothers, it's not too late. Let's go to the rhinoceros to settle the score!" Sun Wukong flew away along the Jinping River, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing hurriedly followed, and the three brothers flew through the clouds and disappeared in front of everyone in an instant.

Seeing this scene, the people on both sides of the strait knew that the previous river god was indeed a monster, and the person who was accused of being a monster by them was a good person!Everyone felt ashamed, and silently blessed the three of them, Monkey King.

Besides Tao Tao, after being squeezed down the Jinping River, she was taken away by a strange wind before she could flop a few times.When he regained consciousness, he found a bright and spacious cave.

There are many pearls on the ceiling of the cave, and the walls are decorated with vines, which is quite unexpected.

Tao Tao secretly thought that the monsters here are quite tasteful, but she doesn't know what kind of monsters they are.Turning his head, he saw a patch of bright red, which turned out to be ten brides who had been taken captive.The brides were full of anticipation and looked around curiously.

"Is this the residence of the River God? It doesn't seem to be as magnificent as imagined."

"What do you know? People are frugal and simple."

"I think this place is very beautiful, but I don't know what Lord River God looks like, I hope it's more handsome."

"Wait, who are you two? Why are you here? Hmph, don't even try to rob us of Lord River God."

Ten brides surrounded Tao Tao and another girl. Tao Tao was a little speechless and felt very innocent.She looked at the drenched and crazy woman beside her, she must be the culprit who pushed her into the water.

Facing the crowd's siege, the culprit laughed and said, "Hahahaha... I'm finally going to see Lord River God! Lord River God is mine, don't try to take it away!"

"You vixen! Don't try to succeed!" The ten brides were so angry that they wanted to beat up the culprit, Tao Tao hurriedly stepped aside and continued to observe this strange cave.

"Why are you arguing? Shut up, my lord!" A loud voice scolded, and immediately saw an ugly man with horns coming in, followed by a group of strangely shaped little monsters.

The ugly man looked fierce, and he glanced coldly at the crowd. The brides were all terrified, and their faces turned pale.

"Is this the river god? Why does it look like a monster?"

"Shh, are you dying? Don't talk."

Tao Tao recognized that this man was the monster who took them away before, and he looked a bit like a rhinoceros.She had a flash of inspiration, she must have met the rhino monster in Xuanying Cave of Qinglong Mountain, right?

The ugly man is the third child in the rhinoceros monster, also known as the king of dust.King Bichen glanced at the crowd, and his eyes suddenly fell on Tao Tao and the culprit.

"Where did you two come from? Why aren't you wearing wedding gowns?"

The culprit immediately rejoiced and said: "Master River God, the little girl's name is Lian Lian, and she voluntarily dedicated herself to Lord River God!"

"What a mess. What about you?" King Bichen looked at Tao Tao again.

Tao Tao said innocently: "I was pushed into the water by her, Lord River God, why don't you just let me go?"

"Hmph, want to go back? Dreaming! When we arrive at Xuanying Cave, there will be no one who can go out. It's good to have two more. Seeing that you are a beautiful girl, and even more brides, the king will be very happy to see you." King Bichen walked around Tao Tao and nodded with satisfaction.

Tao Tao's heart skipped a beat, Your Majesty?Isn't this monster a rhinoceros spirit? What kind of king is there?

Just as she was thinking, two big monsters rushed in at the door, very similar to Rhinoceros, Tao Tao knew that the two monsters who were entangled by Brother Monkey must have returned.

I don't know if Brother Hou can find it here.

"Third brother, why don't you send the person to the king? If the king is in a hurry, you and my brothers will all suffer." The boss is King Pihan who is talking. There is a red mark on his face, and he doesn't know it how did you make it.

King Bichen was about to explain, when he saw this red mark, he couldn't help being shocked: "Brother, are you injured? Who did you meet that even your elder brother was injured?"

King Pihan spat and said angrily: "I don't know what it is, a guy who uses a black iron stick is in a hurry, and I was hit by him accidentally. Fortunately, I can hide quickly, or I will lose my head. Don't talk about this, send people over quickly."

"Okay, big brother." King Bichen didn't dare to delay, and ordered: "Take all these women away and send them to Her Majesty the Queen!"

The brides also saw something was wrong at this time, why did they all look like monsters?Could it be that there is no Lord River God at all?

But they were all secretly afraid, and no one dared to speak out. Pushed by the little monsters, they walked towards another cave with their heads down.

Tao Tao and Lianlian were also detained among them. Tao Tao kept her eyebrows low and did not dare to reveal her identity, otherwise she might suffer more punishment.The happiest thing is Lian Lian, who still fantasizes about becoming the bride of the river god.

Turning around in the cave, he suddenly turned into a spacious passage.In front of the passage, there is actually a large garden that stretches as far as the eye can see.The garden is full of flowers, such as peonies, peonies, cloves, crape myrtle, camellias, lilies, hibiscus and so on.

The colorful butterflies dance lightly, the bees shuttle among them, the breeze blows gently, and it is full of fragrance.

Seeing such exquisiteness, the girls couldn't help opening their eyes wide, forgetting that they were in danger.

"It's so beautiful, is this a fairyland?"

Tao Taoxin said that it was not a fairyland, but perhaps it was a trap.

King Pichen smiled and said: "It's a fairyland, you will live here from now on, enjoy it!"

The gate suddenly closed behind him, and all the little monsters retreated, only the three rhinoceros pushed Tao Tao and the others to move forward.

A smell of blood mixed with the fragrance of flowers wafted over, Tao Tao frowned slightly, suddenly feeling bad.The further you go, the stronger the smell of blood, the scent of flowers can hardly be smelled, and even the brides feel that something is wrong.

"Here we are." King Pihan said.

Everyone raised their eyes and saw an octagonal exquisite pagoda in front of them. The pagoda is not high, only more than ten meters, but it is very wide, at least 50 meters in radius.

There are pink gauze curtains hanging all around the pagoda, looming, making it hard to see the scenery inside.

The smell of blood was extremely strong.

Tao Tao's brows were already tightly furrowed, and cruel images of perverts killing young girls kept popping up in her mind. What kind of queen is this, isn't she also a pervert who specializes in killing young girls?

The three rhinoceros stepped forward together, lightly buttoned the door, and asked for instructions with an apologetic smile: "My lord, all the brides presented by Jinping Mansion this year have been brought, and there are two other beautiful women, both They are pure in mind and body, and they voluntarily dedicated themselves to the King."

Volunteer your size!Tao Tao wanted to run away with her life, but she didn't dare to move.

"Hmm." A seductive female voice sounded from inside, and then the door opened automatically: "Send everyone in."

"Quick, all go in." King Bichen urged, and pushed Tao Tao and others into the Linglong Pagoda.

The three rhinoceros spirits did not dare to step in, they just laughed and said: "My lord, the people have already been sent in, please enjoy it slowly, the king, I will take my leave after waiting for the three brothers."

"En." There was another casual answer, and the door was closed suddenly, blocking the sunlight outside.

It took Tao Tao a while to get used to the light in the tower. It was dim and dim, which was completely different from the outside. There was gloom everywhere, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made people sick.

The girls were so frightened that many of them started crying, and even Lian Lian stopped taking the initiative.

There was a soft "pop", as if some switch was touched, and the tower suddenly brightened.

"Ah..." At this light, the girls screamed in fright, their faces full of horror.

Tao Tao scanned the wall and found countless instruments of torture hanging on the wall, each of which was covered with black blood stains.
