Chapter 622: Poisoning

When the Taoist priest saw that Tang Xuanzang hadn't touched the dishes for a long time, he couldn't help but urge him.

When Tang Xuanzang heard this, he smiled and said to the Taoist priest: "This gentleman, the host has not moved his chopsticks yet, how can we guests move our chopsticks first?"

"Oh, why do you insist on so many rules when eating with me? If you want to eat, eat it quickly. Don't waste it."

The Taoist priest said to Tang Xuanzang with an impatient expression.

"Since you said so, I'd better eat first as a courtesy."

After Tang Xuanzang said this, he slowly raised his chopsticks, picked up some vegetables, and put it into his mouth.

"It's so salty. How can this dish be so salty? You must have added too much salt!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Bajie suddenly spat out the food he had just eaten and said seriously.

"This may be because my servants accidentally added too much salt when cooking. You don't have to worry about this at all. I will punish him when the time comes. You should drink some tea before that."

The Taoist priest stared at the servant coldly, and after one glance, he immediately changed his respectful attitude and said to Zhu Bajie.

"Children, hurry up and bring the tea. Didn't you hear the elder say that the food is salty? I really don't know what you are asked to do. You can't handle such a trivial matter as eating. You have to need my command."

After saying this, the Taoist priest slapped his servant again, but the servant could only grit his teeth and persevere.

When Sun Wukong saw this, he immediately felt that the relationship between the Taoist priest and his servant was a little lifelike.

As soon as he finished speaking, the servant immediately retreated. After a while, he brought out some tea, and the tea had two red dates on it.

The Taoist priest took the tea and thought to himself:

"The man with the fat head and big ears and the huge body must be the first disciple, the man with the dark complexion must be the second disciple, and the man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks must be the third disciple."

After thinking about it, the Taoist priest gave the tea to Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong's eyes were sharp, and he immediately noticed two black dates floating in the remaining teacup on the plate.

"Sir, I think your dates are black dates. Why don't you and I exchange them? I can't let you drink that kind of tea as a master."

Sun Wukong sneered and said to the Taoist priest.

Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest quickly covered his tea cup and said to Sun Wukong:

"No, no, no, no, don't tell me like this. I collected these red dates in the mountains just because I was afraid of not having enough food. Now I only found these few red dates and made these four. A cup of tea.”

"I can't help but accompany you, so I turned these two bad-colored dates into a cup and drank it with you. This is at least my respect for you."

After saying this, Sun Wukong smiled and said:

"Why did you say that? Besides, you are the owner here, and we are just guests here. How can we let you drink tea like this? Let's make a change."

Then Sun Wukong held up his cup and came to the worried person, wanting to take the cup away from the Taoist priest. However, at this moment Tang Xuanzang suddenly said:

"Wukong, that gentleman is also kind to his guests. You drank the tea in your hand, so what can you do? Why should you change it?"

Sun Wukong was very helpless when he heard this, so he covered the wall of the tea cup with his left hand, held the tea cup in his right hand, and looked at the people around him.

By the way, Zhu Bajie was already thirsty and hungry. He often saw a few red dates in the cup and drank them all in one go.

Tang Xuanzang and Sha Wujing also drank all the tea in their hands. In an instant, Zhu Bajie looked pale and Sha Wujing had tears in his eyes. But the most serious thing was Tang Xuanzang, who was foaming at the mouth.

For a moment, the three of them became restless and fell to the ground.

"Bang!"

Sun Wukong knew that the tea was poisonous, so he raised the teacup in his hand and threw it at the Taoist priest's face. The Taoist priest used his Taoist robe to block a wall. There was only a crisp sound and the cup shattered.

"Why are you such a rude monk? Instead of drinking my tea, you broke my cup."

The Taoist priest saw this and said to Sun Wukong angrily.

However, when Sun Wukong heard this, he cursed angrily: "You are worse than a beast, what is going on with my master and my two junior brothers? What is the relationship between me and you?"

"But you poisoned my master and my two junior brothers to the ground."

"You still come to ask me about this kind of thing. How can you not know about the trouble you caused?"

The Taoist priest, who was not a vegetarian, said angrily to Sun Wukong.

After saying this, Sun Wukong said with great confusion in his heart: "We just came to your door today. Now we have talked so much. You also know where we come from. Why did we get into trouble?"

"Huh, you know what you did. You don't need to wait for me to say more. I think you will understand something yourself."

Following the words of the Taoist priest, Sun Wukong began to think seriously after he just said this.

After a long time, Sun Wukong still had no clue. When the Taoist priest saw this, he slowly said to Sun Wukong:

"Do you know how to transform your body in Pansi Cave? Do you know how to peek at the banshee taking a bath?"

When Sun Wukong heard this, he suddenly understood. He raised the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in his hand and said to the Taoist priest:

"There are seven female monsters in that lake. Since you can say such things, you must have something to do with those monsters. You must be a monster too. Don't go and take my stick."

After saying this, Sun Wukong hit the Taoist priest all over his face. The Taoist priest hurriedly turned around and dodged, and then took out a sword from his sleeve to greet Sun Wukong.

The two of them were stalking there, and they had already alerted the female monster next to them. The seven female monsters swarmed up together and said loudly:

"Brother, don't worry, we will help you capture this Sun Wukong now."

Seeing this, Sun Wukong became more and more angry, so he waved the Ruyi Golden Cudgel with both hands and used all his tricks to hit the monsters like a strong wind.

The seven monsters revealed their snow-white bellies, and some white silk threads suddenly appeared in their navels, setting up a canopy and covering Sun Wukong under the net.

"No, if I am caught by these nets, I will definitely not be able to escape. I must find a way to not make things easier for them."

After thinking about it, Sun Wukong immediately chanted a spell, performed a somersault, broke through the big net and escaped.
