[Journey to the West] A monkey headband

The flame ignited by the great sage seemed to have gained everyone's firm sanity. Even though the autumn wind was blowing and the dead leaves were flying, it was not blown out of the way.

The light of the fire is uncertain, reflecting Xiao Tang's handsome profile.

Jin Ning looked at him from the corner of his eye, then concentrated on warming himself by the fire, put his warm palms on his knees, and rubbed them quickly to warm up both legs.

Xuanzang slowly turned his head to look at her, then propped his hands on the ground, moved to the side of the old clothes, and said, "Jinning, come and sit here."

His voice was small, gentle and indifferent.Jin Ning thought for a moment that she was hallucinating, but when she looked back, she realized that he was indeed making room for her beside him.

She felt a little flattered for a moment, and was afraid of what he would say to make the Great Sage devote himself to praying for the Buddha, not to disturb his mind, so she hesitated for a long time before waving her hand and saying: "Master Tang, thank you, I am not too cold , it’s good to be here, I won’t squeeze with you.”

Xuanzang looked at her unnaturally stiff upper body, his eyes dimmed.

Seeing him like this, Jin Ning felt that she was really alienating him too much, so she stood up, sat next to him, and said, "Thank you, it's the same wherever you sit."

Xiao Tang didn't speak any more, he clasped his palms together and began to chant sutras.

His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but when it reached Jin Ning's ears, it had the power to purify one's heart.Jin Ning suddenly felt that he might just want to read the scriptures to her, so he asked her to sit down.She really measured the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

But then again, for most of the time before, he had been reciting the scriptures by himself, and he basically didn't make a sound.Suddenly read it to her today, could it be a disguised compensation for not reciting the mantra for a long time?

Recalling the last time in Honghaier's cave, he asked her through the wall if not reciting the magic spell would affect her.

Alas, this little master Tang is still hard-spoken and soft-hearted, but he is also too stubborn.

After a while, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps ahead.Jin Ning turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw a few scarred faces walking over shyly with big knives on their shoulders.When they saw Xiao Tang and his party, they all looked at each other with smirks.

The one who took the lead strode forward, pretended to perform a Buddhist salute, and said, "Elder, where are you coming from, can you let the brothers have a warm fire together in the cold weather?"

The scriptures came to an abrupt end.

When the old pig saw that the people coming were not friendly, the pig's trotters were enough to use the nine-toothed rake, and he was about to go up to light his weapons when he lifted his butt.

Xuanzang opened his eyes, stretched out his hand to stop his movement, and said, "Amitabha, if the benefactors are cold, you can use firewood to warm up your body."

Jin Ning looked back at him, a little admiration welling up in her heart.

This is not serious, not only good intentions to help, but also rejected unreasonable demands, just a few words, much more powerful than the old pig's "watching the rake".

A dwarf next to him laughed loudly, stepped forward and said, "Elder, how do you warm up with a mere fire? It can be warmed up for a while, but it can't save the whole winter."

The one in the lead gave the dwarf a very approving look, and said with a smile: "Yes, elder, the monks are merciful, why don't you pick a few valuable things from your luggage and give them to the brothers, and change into some winter clothes, which is considered a meritorious deed." pieces."

The old pig couldn't hold back when he heard the words, he raised the rake and said, "Bastard, where are the robbers? I don't know who my master is, so he made such wild remarks?"

The dwarf also came forward with a knife and scolded: "Haha! Where did the pig's head come from? I don't know who my elder brother is, so he made such wild remarks?"

Lao Sha couldn't stay still anymore, walked up to Xiao Tang in a few steps, and said: "My master is an eminent monk from Tang Dynasty, who went to the west to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. You mortals should quickly retreat, don't let our senior brothers get hurt you."

Just as they were bickering, the leader suddenly threw a long stick from his hand, and tied Lao Zhu and Lao Sha together in two or three strokes.

The old pig was in pain, and when he lost the rake, he was stunned: "The bandit leader, where did you get the supernatural powers to dare to tie up your grandpa pig? Your grandpa pig is the marshal of the canopy, commanding a hundred thousand sailors in heaven!"

"Who do you love?" The leader waved his hand, put the knife on the old pig's neck, and threw a rope to Xiao Tang: "Little bald donkey, tie yourself and that chick tightly. Otherwise, I will let you See how to butcher a pig."

Xiao Tang and Jin Ning looked at each other, but had no choice but to do what the bandit leader said.

"Brother, the fairy rope that the old man gave is really useful!" The dwarf looked at the tied people with a smile, and nodded and bowed beside the bandit leader.

The bandit leader hit him on the head with a knife: "What are you talking about!"

Where did the old man come from, how many mortals did he give the bundle of immortals?Could it be that this has reached the realm of some monster again?

But if there are monsters who want to eat Xiao Tang, I only need a few little monsters to catch them. What's the point of giving the treasure to mortals?And these mortals don't seem to be able to eat Tang's monk meat at all.After tying someone up, he knows to search through his luggage, but he's just blindsided by money.

Jin Ning looked up at Xiao Tang, last time he almost died and didn't want to read the tight band, and now he met a few robbers, so he definitely didn't want to, so he had to do it himself and summon the real body.

However, nothing happened.

The Great Sage is probably already out of this hill.

She rejoiced that she was fine after being so far away from her real body, which meant that her abilities hadn't been weakened, at least not much.On the other hand, she was sad again: in her luggage, there were a few beautiful dead leaves caught in Xiaotang's scriptures, which were probably about to be tossed and destroyed.There are also her sewing bags that she often uses, Xiao Tang's change of clothes, and -- Jinlan cassock.

A few bandits conjured up two large nets out of nowhere, wrapped Jinning, Xiaotang, Bajie and Drifting in the nets and hung them up.The autumn wind was rustling, and as soon as it blew, several people swayed together in the air like a swing, and bumped into each other from time to time, causing their noses and faces to be bruised.Jin Ning's shoulders, knees, and top of his head were hit several times by Lao Zhu's back kick, Lao Zhu's back of the head, and Lao Sha's bald forehead respectively.Xiao Tang's bald head was not spared either.

Jin Ning raised his hand to protect his head, intending to scold the old man who contributed to tie the fairy rope a hundred times in his heart.

However, before she could think of what to scold for the first time, she felt that Xiao Tang stretched out his hand to protect her in his arms, and used his back to bear the old pig's impact.

The old pig finally struggled in the net into a posture with his stomach facing outwards, willing to use the softest part of his body to protect his master.

Several people "loved each other" for a while, and the luggage had already been messed up by the gangster brothers.

Fortunately, these robbers didn't know the goods, so they held the Jinlan cassock and gestured back and forth on their bodies, and then hung it on a tree because they thought it was ugly.The remaining tattered clothes and socks were thrown far away without a single eye.

Jin Ning couldn't bear to look any longer, sighed, and said, "Thank you, Xiao Tang. I'll fold your clothes for you in a while."

Xiao Tang on top of his head didn't speak, but also sighed.

At this time, the voice of the Great Sage finally came from not far away: "Where is the gangster, actually using a fishing net to catch my master?"

The robbers threw down their tattered robes and looked towards the source of the sound with their knives in hand.

Holding the hot meal in his hand, the Great Sage raised his hand and flicked it in this direction, the net loosened and fell from the branch.Jin Ning was so frightened that she quickly covered her head, only to realize that she fell to the ground lightly like a feather.She quickly took the net off Xuanzang's body, and went to untie the rope for the old pig.

Sun Wukong lightly tapped his feet to the ground, and with a casual throw, the bowl landed firmly in Xiao Tang's arms.Then, he jumped onto the branch, took out his golden cudgel and raised his head and said, "Wu Ming Xiao Xiao, do you have something to say when you are about to die?"

The robbers burst out laughing: "A stick-playing monkey can speak human language, but he can't say anything else?"

The one who takes the lead laughs the most.Smiling, he suddenly revealed a fierce look, and quickly threw the long knife in his hand towards Monkey King.Sun Wukong did not panic, raised his right hand to put the stick on his shoulder, and easily clamped the blade with two fingers of his left hand, then raised the corner of his mouth.He is like the sun and the moon, like the sky and the earth, and these mortals are not as good as ants in front of him.

With a slight flick of the wrist, as if casually thrown, the long knife came to the leading robber like lightning.

The leader was frightened, his eyes widened, and even the scars on his eyelids became hideous.

But the moment the tip of the knife touched the bridge of the nose, the long knife stopped suddenly.

Gulu, the leader swallowed.Jin Ning was also terrified.

The other robbers were even more stunned.

Xuanzang stepped forward and said loudly, "Wukong, don't hurt anyone."

Jin Ning clearly saw the Dasheng glance at Xiao Tang, and then showed a mischievous and incomprehensible smile.The next moment, the long knife stabbed straight into the man's right eye, and blood spattered everywhere.

The leading robber fell straight down, and the surrounding robbers panicked, and everyone started to run around.

Xiao Tang stood there in a daze, unable to react from the scene of his apprentice killing so bloodily.

And Jin Ning also panicked at that moment.But she remembered what Kui Mulang said outside the Bright Palace: "What you have to do is make him think that you have done evil things, and that's fine."

This must have been done by the Great Sage to Xiao Tang, he would never kill anyone.

Then he turned into an old man to tie the fairy rope to some robbers?Tie them up with immortal ropes, and tell them to tie up Xiao Tang?

The Great Sage doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing.

So is the matter at hand true or false, and which part is a deception?

While hesitating, the great sage jumped high, and wherever the stick hit, his brains burst.Jin Ning was too frightened to look any further, so she quickly closed her eyes, and at the same time covered Xiao Tang's eyes with her hands.

There were screams and wailing all around.Xiao Tang, however, seemed dumbfounded by fright, and did not respond.

Jin Ning looked outside through the gap between his fingers, and in an instant, there were only dead bodies on the ground.But the Great Sage stood in front of the two fleeing robbers with his stick, smiling coldly.

"Great Sage..." Jin Ning squinted his eyes and saw him swing the golden cudgel in his hand and hit one of them on the head.

"Wukong!" Xiao Tang finally knocked off her hand and shouted loudly.

There is no intention of reciting a mantra.

Sun Wukong's movements paused in the air.He looked at Xiao Tang again.

The four eyes met, and Sun Wukong's expression flashed a hint of viciousness.Then, the long stick fell on the robber's head.

"Wukong, don't hurt anyone again!" Xiao Tang's voice became very hoarse due to excitement.His legs went limp, and he slumped on the ground: "Don't kill any more..."

The Monkey King takes the stick, and the last survivors flee like hell, not even daring to turn their heads.

Jin Ning was also a little scared.
