Chapter 593: Encountering Misunderstanding
"After driving a short distance from where I am staying, it is completely deserted. There is not even a bird."
Tang Xuanzang was very panicked when he heard this. After a while, he continued to ask:
"Why did such a change happen there? What exactly happened there?"
The old man sighed after hearing this, and continued: "Actually, some of that place was created by humans, but some of it was created by the monsters inside."
Tang Xuanzang continued to ask the old man as if he had no brain at all:
"Then why is it already so bad caused by man?"
The old man then sighed again and continued: "The valley is very narrow. Every year, there are ripe fruits all over the mountains and fields, but no one picks them, so they fall into the cave. It becomes moldy over time.”
After hearing this, Sun Wukong finally couldn't help it anymore and said loudly:
"You old man, can you tell us in a different way? We came all the way to stay here for one night, but you said so many words to scare us."
"If that doesn't work, we can just spend the night at the door. Why do you say so many words?"
When the old man saw that Sun Wukong looked so ugly, he was immediately frightened and panicked, and said quickly: "Who are you? You are so ugly, and you dare to attack me with a sharp mouth."
When Sun Wukong heard this, he suddenly understood and said to the old man:
"It seems that you still don't know who I am. No wonder you are blind. Although I am ugly, I know some laws. If you judge a person by his appearance, you are going too far."
After hearing what Sun Wukong said, the old man said to Sun Wukong with a puzzled look on his face: "Then tell me, who are you? What is your name, and what methods do you have?"
When Sun Wukong heard this, he boasted to the old man and heard Sun Wukong say:
"If you really want to hear it, then I'll tell you in detail. I hope you won't be scared after hearing it."
When the old man was young, he seemed to have some courage and said to Sun Wukong: "Just say what you say, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Sun Wukong heard this and immediately said:
"I used to live in Huaguo Mountain. I worshiped an immortal, and now I have both martial arts skills. And I also have a very resounding title, that is, the Monkey King, the Monkey King who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago."
After Sun Wukong said this, he looked proud, but the old man slapped Sun Wukong in the face. The old man said to Sun Wukong:
"I have never heard of Sun Wukong at all. I think you look like a monkey, but why do you insist that you can conquer demons?"
After the old man said this, he saw that Sun Wukong's face was very bad, and then he smiled and said to Sun Wukong:
"Forget it, I won't tell you that much. Come in with me now. It's not impossible for you to stay here for one night."
After the old man said this, he led Tang Xuanzang and the remaining people into his house and prepared some meals for them.
After several people had eaten and drank enough, they were about to go to sleep when Tang Xuanzang suddenly came to the old man's side and said to him:
"This old man, didn't you just tell us that you wouldn't receive us at all? But why did you suddenly not only receive us, but also prepare so many meals for us? What do you mean?"
The old man smiled bitterly and said to Tang Xuanzang and Sun Wukong:
"I just heard your apprentice say that he can catch monsters, so I happen to have a monster here. Please help us catch it. I will definitely thank you very much."
After hearing this, Tang Xuanzang thought seriously for a long time and then continued:
"Although my apprentice has great powers, if he cannot catch this monster, wouldn't he be lying?"
After Sun Wukong heard what Tang Xuanzang said, he immediately learned that Tang Xuanzang looked down on him, so Sun Wukong said to Tang Xuanzang:
"Master, don't worry about this matter. I'll ask this old man first to find out what kind of monster it is."
The old man raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and suddenly said loudly: "What else do you have to ask about this kind of thing?"
After Sun Wukong heard what the old man said, he immediately lowered his attitude and said to the old man:
"Your place is quiet and inhabited. It's not a remote place. What kind of goblins can come to your door?"
The old man smiled and said to Sun Wukong:
"It seems that your knowledge is too short. To tell you the truth, my place is peaceful."
"But I don't know when a gust of wind suddenly blew, and a goblin came and ate all other people's cattle, horses, pigs and sheep. If it met anyone, it would eat them all alive."
"He has been with us for a long time, and we get hurt every year. If you can catch him and get rid of him, we will have a lot of gratitude and we will not be frivolous with you at all."
Sun Wukong frowned when he heard this. After a while, he slowly said:
"If this is the case, this monster does have some tricks up his sleeve."
However, at this moment, Zhu Bajie, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke:
"Brother Monkey, this monster looks a little difficult to deal with. We are going to the West to obtain the scriptures and will leave tomorrow. Why do we have to catch these monsters?"
The old man was very angry when he heard this. He quickly raised the stick in his hand and hit Zhu Bajie, and said to Zhu Bajie:
"So you are just monks who come here to cheat for food and drink. At the beginning, you said so nicely that you could subdue demons and exorcise monsters, but after I mentioned this matter to you, you said that this monster is very difficult to deal with."
When Sun Wukong saw that the old man was angry, , he patted the old man's shoulder, took the stick from the old man's hand, and said to the old man:
"Don't be angry, the monster is easy to catch, but if you don't cooperate with us, it will be very difficult to catch."
The old man said with a puzzled look:
"Why do you say we don't cooperate with you? As long as you dare to be that monster, we will definitely cooperate with you."
Sun Wukong snorted coldly, stretched out a finger and shook it gently:
"You guys have never seen the world, superficial, really too superficial."
However, the old man was even more confused at this time.
