"Are these two children demons or humans?"
"Half demon, half human... Although it shows some demonic appearance, it seems to be more human... It seems that the demon king's wife should be with her to teach her personally, and the two children are still young, so I haven't contracted the demon's habits yet." The Great Sage thought for a moment and then added: "Master, when I look at this demon king's wife... she seems to be well-educated and well-educated, I'm afraid she is not an ordinary person."
"If she had no means, how could she hold on to the position of the demon king's wife surrounded by these demons? I just don't know how such a woman could become the demon king's wife." Fa Hai heard this. Sheng Zhiyan secretly calculated in his heart that these two people seemed to be quite different from the situation of "Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen".
The love between humans and demons is not universal in the three realms, so it cannot be covered by one example, which is inevitably biased.
But he has to transform sentient beings and transcend demons, which is another unavoidable problem.
If according to his past temperament, these two little demons are basically evil species, and they would be saved without saying a word...then there would be a lot of troubles?
But now Fahai has finally become more tolerant. Although he is not as compassionate as the Bodhisattva, he still has a compassionate heart of his own.
"Amitabha." Fahai recited the Buddha's name and looked at Ao Lie: "Ao Lie."
"Master."
As the master's front man, Xiao Bailong probably already knew what the master wanted to do.
"Although we have left the Eastern Land, we, the traveling monks, should burn incense in temples, worship Buddha when we see them, and sweep pagodas when we meet...Although there are demons entrenched in this pagoda, this demon king's wife may be a sensible person and want to be a teacher. Visiting one or two...just go and call the door."
He wanted to see the demon king's wife with his own eyes.
"yes."
Ao Lie walked in front, and everyone followed behind.
After leaving the forest, I saw stone cliffs tens of thousands of meters high, and mountains so big that they reached the blue sky.
It can be said that the roots are thick in the ground, the peaks are as high as the sky, and there are many kinds of evergreens on both sides. It can be more than a hundred miles in front and back. Although it is far less than the fairy scene of Wanshou Mountain, it is really a treasure mountain.
After crossing a stone bridge across a clear spring, we arrived outside the cave door.
There are many animals and birds here, the grass is fragrant, and there are flowers everywhere. If everyone hadn't known that this place was a demon cave, they would have thought it was a fairy mansion.
Ao Lie was about to call the door when he saw two urchins running out of the cave, shouting and laughing.
There was a woman in the cave who shouted softly: "You two, be careful of the skin on your body. If your father sees it, be careful to eat his whip again."
"My father has gone hunting and won't be back for a while. How can we play so wildly when he comes back? Mother, please leave us alone for half a day." The older child jumped onto a rock outside the cave. , turned around and saw Ao Lie, and asked curiously: "Who are you, and why did you find yourself outside my house?"
The younger one seemed to be more timid. When he saw a stranger, he shrank back into the cave and called out to his mother urgently: "Mom, a stranger is coming."
Tap tap tap tap——
There was the sound of quick footsteps in the cave, and soon a woman in her thirties was seen walking out of the cave. She was the wife of the yellow-robed monster in the cave.
Let's say that when the lady saw the little white dragon's heroic appearance and extraordinary temperament... coupled with the long spear carried on his back, she felt inexplicably panicked and thought to herself: Could it be that he is here to slay demons?
It's not like there haven't been monks and Taoists who came here to slay demons in recent years, but his husband's magical power and extraordinary sorcery... all he did was end up wasting his life.
She asked: "Where is this young man going? Why did he come to my Wanzi Mountain Wave Moon Cave?"
"I have met the female benefactor." Although Xiao Bailong has not ordained, he is still a disciple of Fahai and can be considered as a half-disciple of Buddhism, so he performed a Buddhist ritual: "We came from the Eastern Land of the Tang Dynasty to go to the West. The monk who was seeking Buddhist scriptures passed by Baofang... saw a pagoda standing in your mansion, and thought that there must be a temple under the pagoda and a monk's family in the courtyard... I don't want to disturb you, and I ask the female donor to forgive me."
"You worshiped Buddha and came to my house?" The older child stood on the rock and said with a smile: "We are in the Wave Moon Cave in Wanzi Mountain, but there are no Buddhas and Bodhisattvas for you to worship, and there are a lot of demons and monsters. Wow. Woo——"
He made a fierce face, glared at Xiao Bailong and said, "Are you afraid?"
"Da Lang!"
Seeing that her son was naughty, Mrs. Demon King scolded him angrily and stretched out her hand to pull him.
"Don't stop." This Dalang waved his hand again and again: "My mother called me down, I was from ... The child was strong, so I didn't want to hurt my mother."
The old man jumped down from the stone, saw his mother's angry eyes... and ran into the cave.
After listening to Ao Lie's words, the lady raised her eyes and looked behind him. Sure enough, she saw four people behind him. The one guarded in the middle was a monk wearing a bright red cassock. Although the few around him were also He's a strange-looking person, but he looks very ordinary... I'm afraid he doesn't have any great abilities.
She has been here as the wife of the Demon King for a long time, and she has seen many ferocious demons coming and going. The appearance of the Great Sage and Bajie are just ordinary in her opinion.
The monkey at the front is thin and small. Although it looks smarter, how much strength might it have?
The pig-headed one looks quite big, but he looks stupid and stupid, and probably doesn't have any great abilities.
The last remaining man, a bearded man, had a dull look in his eyes and stiff limbs... Judging from the fact that he was carrying a lot of luggage, he was probably just a coolie porter.
Thinking of this, the Demon King's wife said in her heart: It's a blessing that my husband is not at home, otherwise it would be a mage who always subdues demons, or a monk who goes to the Western Heaven to obtain Buddhist scriptures...a monk from the Western Heaven to obtain Buddhist scriptures? !
Tang Monk? !
The Demon King's wife held her breath for a moment. Wasn't her husband busy catching him these past two days?
The little demon came to take revenge, ordered the soldiers and horses, and left... Why hasn't he caught you yet, and you sent him to his door yourself?
not good!
"You go." Madam Demon King said coldly: "I don't accept outsiders here. Look north... there is a way out of the mountains and forests."
After saying that, the demon king's wife didn't stay for a moment, went back to the house, and ordered the little demon to close the cave door tightly.
There is also a secret behind her words. Her husband is leading the demon soldiers to ambush in the west. If he goes there, he will fall into a trap. As for going east... They are originally from the east. There is no guarantee that her husband will not wait for a long time. Tang Seng, instead went east to look for someone. If he went back the same way, wouldn't he be in trouble?
In the end, only the north side was left. Although the road was difficult, it was still a way to survive and would not fall into the hands of a group of monsters and lose one's life.
It was rare for Xiao Bailong to be rejected, so he turned back in anger.
"Master." Xiao Bailong pointed at the Wave Moon Cave and said: "This Demon King's wife is not a good person. Maybe she has seen our true and false, and has closed the door now."
Fahai shook his head and said, "Maybe she wanted to save my life and not let me fall into the cave."
After hearing this, Xiao Bailong thought for a moment about the tone and expression of the demon king's wife just now, and suddenly realized that what the master said was reasonable. He just saw the demon king's wife suddenly driving away people with a cold tone, and said that she was because of the demon king's indifference. At home, I felt timid and did not dare to let them in.
Now after listening to the master's words, I realized that she was afraid that she and others would be poisoned by the demon king, so she deliberately drove them away.
"It's my disciple who is so narrow-minded that he almost misunderstood a good person. Master..." Xiao Bailong looked at the closed door, then looked at his master and asked, "What should we do now?"
"She asked my master and apprentice to go north. I think the demon king may be ambushing me at the west mountain pass." Fahai thought for a while and said, "Let's go west."
The Great Sage said at this time: "Master, the goblins in this cave and the two sons of the demon king..."
"Have these goblins and those two children ever done anything evil?"
"They are all ordinary rabbit and deer spirits. They can be slaves, but they have no magic power...and they have to be disciplined by this lady. It's like the maids and servants of the official family. They know more etiquette than I did back then." The Great Sage paused for a moment, "There are also those two children. Although they are the sons of the Demon King, they are still young...and they don't have any serious cultivation methods. However, they are naturally stronger. I, Old Sun, look like they are full of blood." Pure...I just don’t know if they also eat people.”
"Let's let it go for now. Let's wait until we meet the demon king and we'll find out later."
Fahai's words sounded easy, but his heart was far from as relaxed as he showed.
In the past, you didn't need to think about so many distracting thoughts when you wanted to conquer demons.
But now, along the way, I realize that right and wrong, good and evil are not clearly defined at this time.
Just like now, he has seen the demon king's wife who has kind thoughts, and the demon son who is very respectful and filial to his mother... Suddenly he realized that this demon king should only fall into the eighteenth level of hell and never be able to stand up again. How can he be virtuous? How could he be worthy of such a good wife and son?
This demon king is a demon who is good at eating people.
Fahai would never let him go.
There was even a moment when Fa Hai hoped that there was no one good in this cave full of monsters. What he saw in front of him was the magic tricks of monsters... In this way, he would be able to take action without any scruples to subjugate and eliminate demons.
Fahai said in his heart: If the Bodhisattva were here, he would probably let this demon king live and save their family of four.
Amitabha.
After all, a poor monk is just an ordinary monk, not a Bodhisattva.
Fahai looked to the west from a distance, and a thought gradually came to his mind: This may be the true meaning of the journey to the west. Suppressing demons and slaying demons is just a matter of casualness along the way. The real power... is the calamity of refining the mind along the way. .
The previous one was Wukong and Bajie, and now it's my turn.
Fa Hai calmed down, his expression returned to resoluteness, and the sadness that had been concentrated in his heart just now dissipated. Even if there were difficulties and dangers ahead, he should face them calmly.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to find the right path.
...
The yellow-robed monster walked all the way east in the black pine forest, but he was almost out of the black pine forest and went to Baihu Ridge, but he still couldn't find any trace of Tang Monk and his disciples. He felt strange in his heart...
Could this Tang Seng and his apprentice disappear into thin air?
At the west exit of the black pine forest, a little demon came to report in a hurry: "Report...ah? Where are the leaders and the king?"
"The king saw that Tang Monk and his disciples had not arrived for a long time, so he went into the forest to inquire about it personally."
It was also the yellow-robed monster who knew how powerful Sun Wukong was, so he didn't dare to let the little monster explore for fear of being discovered and alerting others.
"It's broken. I saw a group of five people heading towards our cave home... One of them was a great monk wearing a bright red cassock. I was afraid that Tang Monk might have gotten lost... so I came here to report."
This little demon was a fixed sentry. He happened to be on a high ground not far from his cave. He saw a figure dressed as a monk and went to the cave. He hurriedly came to report... but his king was not there!
