Chapter 928 Meeting a Business Customer at a Teahouse on the Wilderness Road, Duanmu Huai Encounters the White Bone Demon
After passing Gaojiazhuang, this is Xiniu Hezhou. Along the way, Duanmu Huai and Sun Wukong also had a great time traveling around the mountains and slaying demons.
Of course, for Duanmuhuai...
"That Tathagata is really talking nonsense and disturbing people's peace."
"Why did Master say this?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's complaint, Sun Wukong also asked out of curiosity. Following Duanmu Huai, he had already known that this man was not a devout follower of Buddha at all.
No, let alone piety, this monk has nothing to do with the monk at all. Not only does he love drinking and eating meat, he also has no compassionate heart for a monk. Every time he goes to a fairy world, he will never kill all the monsters inside. Give up. To use Duanmu Huai's words, "It is the Buddha's business to forgive them, and my duty is to send them to see the Buddha."
Well, as far as Sun Wukong is concerned, those monsters will simply end up in disarray under the power of Duanmu Huai. They can't even enter the hell, and it's impossible to see the Buddha.
However, Sun Wukong himself is not an honest person. When the two of them are put together, they have a kind of like-minded feeling - even sometimes Sun Wukong feels that his master is more ruthless than him. He thinks that what he was most proud of back then was making trouble. Tiangong, if this person comes up, I'm afraid the Tiangong will be demolished...
"You know, when I first learned the scriptures, the Tathagata once said clearly in front of everyone: I have appeared in the four major states, and the good and evil of all living beings are different from each other. Those who conquer the divine continent in the east should respect the heaven and the earth. The heart will be refreshed and the energy will be calm; the giant in the north will be victorious. Although the people from Luzhou are fond of having children, they only live hand to mouth and have a clumsy temperament. They don’t do much. I, the people from Xiniu and Hezhou, are not greedy and do not kill, and nourish their energy and potential. Although they are supremely true, everyone has a long life; but the Southern Gift Department People in China are greedy for sexual pleasure and happy for misfortunes, and they kill more and fight more. As the saying goes, they are a murderous place and a sea of right and wrong... Well, if you ask me, it's all bullshit!"
Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai also snorted and dismissed it.
What Tathagata said was very simple. To put it simply, Xiniu Hezhou where he was was a beacon of freedom where no one would steal or rob, and no one would pick up items on the road and never close their doors at night. However, the Tang Dynasty was an evil dictatorship characterized by greed for sexual pleasure and misfortune, and many killings and strife. So I have three volumes of the True Scripture of the Free Underworld Lord. You have to come and get it, and then go back and let your Tang Dynasty become a beacon of freedom like me.
The results of it?
"Since we entered Xiniu Hezhou on horseback, there have been monsters every day. I have never encountered so many monsters in the Tang Dynasty!"
At this point, Duanmuhuai became furious and cursed. This is what Yin Tathagata said about not being greedy and not killing, nourishing Qi and potential, everyone is longevity, and the Lord of freedom is free, right?
Everyone has a gun, and shooting freely is the master, right?
You, like you, Xiniu Hezhou, have two monsters that go around catching and eating people for three days, and you want me to learn from your silly and realistic scriptures? If I don’t kill you, go to Lingshan Mountain, demolish the hall like you idiot, and cut off the head of you Buddha, I will write your name upside down!
Before Duanmu Huai came out of confinement and went to Xiniu Hezhou, he only encountered two or three monsters and kittens. But after entering Xiniu Hezhou, the monsters were flying in the sky and crawling everywhere on the ground. Duanmu Huai even killed them. annoyed!
"When I get to the West, I will kick the bald donkey's lotus seat, pull it and ask it, you idiot from Xiniu Hezhou, do you still want me to learn from the Tang Dynasty? In the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty, when all the nations came to court, I didn't pick up things on the road, and I never closed my house at night. . You Xiniu Hezhou is full of monsters and monsters, killing people and setting fires, doing all kinds of evil. What kind of thing do you think we have to learn from this? "
That is to say, distance brings beauty. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was fooled by Guanyin. It was just that the Tang Dynasty was too far away from Xiniu Hezhou. In this era, there were no live broadcasts on the Internet or TIKTOK. Hearing Guanyin's bragging, he was also fooled. Tang Taizong was confused and suspicious of life, so he asked Tang Monk to get the Western Scripture.
After all, what they say is true, so there is nothing wrong with learning from advanced foreign experience.
What if you want the other party to talk nonsense?
It's just a loss of one or two people, so what's the loss?
"What Master said is not unreasonable..."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Sun Wukong was also convinced. It used to be a ruthless child that caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace, but when Sun Wukong was in the mortal world, he didn't do too many evil things. Even if they went to the underworld to change the roster, went to the Dragon Palace to grab a stick, and then went to the Heavenly Palace to play tricks, they were not like the monsters in Hezhou, Xiniu. They were really fierce in their folk customs, shouting and killing at every turn. Eating people is commonplace. Even he, the Monkey King, has never seen monsters so rampant in other places.
So Sun Wukong also began to wonder, you said that the Buddha was so compassionate, why didn't he go to cross so many monsters in his own realm, but he had to go to the Heavenly Palace to cause trouble for me? Look at this place where you see a little devil taking three steps and a big monster taking five steps. How can you pretend that even the Buddha and Bodhisattva didn't see you? Could it be that, as Master said, everyone is a blind man playing interstellar?
My old grandson just stole a peach, held a banquet, beat up hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals, and didn't even mention killing people or setting fires.
Could it be that the old bald donkey really had something on his mind?
While they were talking, a tea shop appeared in front of them. The two of them were thirsty and tired after walking all the way, so they dismounted and went to the tea shop to order tea and rest for a while.
While Duanmu Huai and Sun Wukong were having tea, they saw a few businessmen sitting next to them, looking here frequently. After a while, one of them stood up, walked to Duanmuhuai, and made a long bow.
"May I ask if you two are the holy monks who went to the West to obtain scriptures and slayed demons along the way?"
"Oh? How did you know?"
"What are you talking about, holy monk?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, the merchant smiled and said.
"You two's names have long been spread throughout the whole Xiniu Hezhou. It is said that you two hate evil and have conquered demons all the way. No matter how powerful the ghosts and monsters are, you have captured them. And one of you is as burly as a mountain, with angry eyes like a Vajra, and the other has a hairy face like a thunder god, with a hunched body. With the majestic white horse, it is difficult to admit your mistake."
"So what's the matter?"
Duanmu Huai didn't answer, but just asked. You see, this is the benefit of having a reputation. It's nothing like Tang Seng, that idiot, who has a good appearance but is stupid and doesn't even have any skills. You are still a monk, don't you know that monks rely on reputation to cheat money and sex?
"It's like this. We are planning to go to Baoxiang Kingdom. I heard that the road is not peaceful recently, and there are often monsters coming and going. If the two holy monks don't mind, can we go together... "
"That's fine."
Duanmu Huai didn't care much. He had encountered similar things several times after entering Xiniu Hezhou. They were either farmers going out or merchants moving goods. More importantly, following them, you can actually encounter monsters.
This is why Duanmu Huai and others have become more and more famous along the way. Those people arrived safely and naturally spread the news, and people's words are faster than telephone calls. So Duanmu Huai hasn't even arrived in the West Heaven yet, and you can see that his name has spread throughout Xiniu Hezhou.
With Duanmu Huai's consent, the old merchant was overjoyed and thanked him again before turning around and leaving.
After both parties finished drinking tea, they rested for a while and set off again. The old merchant also introduced his group to Duanmu Huai and Sun Wukong. In addition to the old merchant, there was also a young master of the merchant and a group of young merchants. According to the old merchant, these guys were out for the first time and were going to Baoxiang Kingdom to get the goods and then come back. They were all in high spirits. Well, it is understandable. Young people come out to play. In this era, there are no computers, TVs, dance halls, KTVs, and outings are a good pastime.
Hearing that the old merchant invited two monks to go on the road together, the young people were obviously a little unhappy, but after seeing Duanmu Huai, they were all silent, and they did not have the ruffians who did not recognize Mount Tai in the storybooks. Nonsense, this two-meter-five head and a fist as big as a purple gold bowl, no one would not recognize Mount Tai.
Unless he is a blind man.
This is why Duanmu Huai has never minded this kind of thing. After all, when he stands there, anyone who is normal knows that this big man is not easy to mess with. It's not like those protagonists who pretend to be pigs and eat tigers. They don't take it seriously when they are looked down upon, and then they suddenly attack and kill in times of crisis. Duanmu Huai doesn't have this mind. He doesn't hold grudges and will avenge them on the same day.
But just when they were about to set off, they saw the young master came out, and there was a woman with him. Although she couldn't be said to be stunning, she was quite beautiful. Seeing this woman, the old merchant was stunned.
"Young master, what are you doing..."
"Hello, sir."
Seeing the old merchant, the woman also bowed.
"My name is Cui. I was originally from Benyang. My parents were greedy for money and sold me to a rich family as a concubine. But the wife of that family was jealous and kept beating and humiliating me. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I packed my money and wanted to go to Baoxiang Country to seek refuge with my relatives. But I am a weak woman, alone, and the mountain road is dangerous. I happened to meet a young man who was willing to take me a ride..."
"This............"
Hearing the woman's words, the old merchant frowned, and the young master stared at him.
"What do you think? Old man, this woman is really pitiful. It happens that she is on the same road as us. Why don't we travel together so that we can take care of each other."
"Woo............"
The old merchant was silent while Sun Wukong took out the golden hoop and was about to hit the woman, but Duanmu Huai was quick and grabbed him.
"Master, why are you stopping me? That's a monster!"
"Of course I know she's a monster."
Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes and stared at the woman. Even without his golden eyes, he could smell the strong bloody smell on the woman.
This thing... well, could it be the White Bone Demon?
"This guy is not easy to deal with. Don't rush to attack. Wait for me to find a way to deal with her."
Duanmu Huai would certainly not let this guy go, but he also knew that if it was the White Bone Demon, this guy was good at disguising himself. If he wanted to really deal with her, he had to find a reason.
Otherwise, looking at these idiot ghosts, I'm afraid they would have been bewitched by the White Bone Demon.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai had already made a decision in his heart.
"When they get on the road, we'll follow behind and see what the monster is going to do."
