After receiving this promise, Gao Cai thanked him profusely, and then led the way forward on his donkey.
"It's strange. Master is obviously going to help eliminate demons, but why does he look so happy?"
Seeing Tang Sanzang's face glowing red, Sun Wukong was puzzled for a while.
Under the leadership of Gao Cai, the three masters and apprentices walked thirty or forty miles south, and a huge village finally appeared in front of everyone.
There is a gate at the entrance of the village, with the three characters "Gao Laozhuang" clearly engraved on it.
"Gao Laozhuang, we are finally here!"
Seeing this, Tang Sanzang was very happy.
After all, in this Gao Laozhuang, the person he has longed for is his second disciple!
I just hope that accepting him as a disciple this time will not be as difficult and tortuous as conquering Wukong and Little White Dragon.
Unlike Liujiacun, which was previously impoverished, Gaolaozhuang now looks like a paradise.
I saw houses with white walls and black tiles scattered among the mountains, rivers and fields, and village roads paved with bluestone slabs criss-crossed the entire village.
There are also continuous fertile fields in the village. Rolling wheat waves rise and fall in the fields with the breeze, exuding a faint fragrance.
Gray-haired old men were leisurely playing chess and drinking tea under the shade of trees, young men and women were sweating and farming in the fields, and yellow-haired children were playing by the water.
The scenery around the village is pleasant with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. There is a pleasant and leisurely atmosphere everywhere, which makes people feel extremely relaxed.
Compared with those villages where the rat demons exploited the people and made them miserable, there was a great sense of fragmentation and unreality.
"Son, your Gaolaozhuang and Liujiacun are only a few dozen miles apart. Why is there such a huge gap in life?"
Seeing the great atmosphere in the village, Sun Wukong asked Gao Cai curiously.
"Oh, it must be thanks to the pig demon!"
Gao Cai shook his head and said, "Since the pig demon came to us, he has killed dozens of rat demons and claimed Gao Laozhuang as his territory."
"Since then, no rat demon has dared to invade. Even the government has to go around our village to collect food."
"Later, he helped us build new houses, reclaim fertile farmland and build water conservancy. In just three years, Gaolaozhuang became a well-known and prosperous place."
After hearing this, Sun Wukong was stunned for a while, "According to what you said, that pig demon is the God of Wealth in your village. Why do you have to do everything possible to ask an expert to get rid of him?"
"This...every family has sutras that are difficult to recite. You two should meet my Grand Duke Gao and then listen to him explain it in detail!"
Gao Cai hesitated, then stopped talking and continued to lead the way.
After walking for about ten miles deeper into the village along the bluestone road, a prosperous manor suddenly came into view.
This manor occupies an area of ten acres, surrounded by high walls, elegant pavilions scattered among it, and even rockery pavilions and waterside pavilions. It looks extraordinary.
And this manor, needless to say, is the residence where Grand Duke Gao lived.
At Gao Cai's invitation, Tang Sanzang and his entourage entered the manor and came to the Gao family's living room.
After a while, a wealthy old man wearing gold and silver walked out of the back room with a cane inlaid with a jade dragon head.
And this old man is none other than Grand Duke Gao, the owner of this mansion.
"Two eminent monks have come from afar. I am very grateful. Please take a seat quickly!"
After seeing the person coming, Gao Taigong quickly stepped forward and said respectfully to the master and apprentice.
Then he invited the two of them to take a seat and ordered the servant to bring tea and cakes.
"Holy Monk, I think I told you about the pig demon just now, right?"
After sitting down, Gao Taigong crossed the gold and jade ring in his hand, and then started talking to Tang Sanzang straight to the point.
"The poor monk knows a little bit about this matter."
Tang Sanzang nodded, "But what I don't understand is that the pig demon is obviously bringing benefits to Gao Laozhuang, why does the old man have to get rid of him?"
"Alas, actually I don't really want to kill him, I just want to use the help of an expert to force him to sign a divorce note!"
"A letter of divorce?"
In this regard, Sun Wukong, who was having nothing to do, immediately became interested, "Could it be that pig demon or your son-in-law?"
"To put it mildly, it's okay."
After hearing this, a trace of sadness appeared on Taigong Gao's face, "The pig demon's name is Zhu Ganghui, and he is my son-in-law..."
After shaking his head and sighing, Gao Taigong immediately told the whole story.
"Actually, as early as three years ago, we in Gaolaozhuang were as poor and desolate as other surrounding villages, and we didn't have enough to eat all year round."
In this regard, Gao Taigong said, "At that time, a group of rat monsters, under the name of Lingji Bodhisattva, openly broke into the village and demanded money, but my family was poor and couldn't give any money. Who would have thought that these monsters were unreasonable? He actually kidnapped my little girl Cuilan, saying that he would take her to honor the Bodhisattva!"
"Fortunately, a strong man showed up in time, fought off all the rat demons, and rescued Cuilan."
"The strong man called himself Zhuganghe, and he was born with great strength and good looks. Cuilan fell in love with him at first sight. She just said that she could not repay the kindness of saving her life, so she wanted to pledge herself to him."
"Zhu Gangxi refused at first, saying that he was a widower who lost his wife and was not worthy of such a beautiful girl. However, Cuilan refused to marry him, so he had no choice but to agree and made a marriage contract with his little girl. , became my live-in son-in-law. Who would have thought that on the day of the wedding, because of drinking a few too many glasses of meat wine, this strong man's bestiality became stronger and he turned into a pig demon..."
How come this plot is completely different from what I imagined?
Tang Sanzang was slightly surprised after hearing Taigong Gao's painful complaint.
He originally thought that the marriage between Zhu Gangxi and Gao Cuilan was a matchmaker ordered by his parents, but he never expected that he would become a hero saving a beautiful woman and pursuing a man!
This big melon suddenly became flavorful!
"So, after discovering that Zhu Ganghyena is a pig demon, your daughter regretted the marriage, and you want to invite an expert to come and deal with him?"
With this thought, Tang Sanzang asked with great interest.
"If my little girl is so enlightened, why should I worry so much here?"
Gao Taigong slapped his thigh and said, "When she found out that Zhu Ganghye was a pig demon, Cuilan was neither afraid nor disgusted. She was still willing to stay with him forever. I won't agree to it. She actually wants to have sex with that pig. The demon elopes!”
"Because of this, the old man kicked the pig demon out of the house in anger, and locked Cuilan in the house, preventing her from having any more private meetings with the pig demon!"
"Old man, is this your fault?"
Hearing this, Sun Wukong on the side couldn't stand it anymore, "They love each other, they are a perfect match. How can you, an old man, oppose them?"
"The eminent monk is confused, how can a human and a demon fall in love?"
Grand Duke Gao said angrily, "What if they really get married and give birth to a litter of piglets, then where should I put my old face of the Gao family? Don't I want to be treated as a laughing stock from all over the country!"
this……
His words seemed quite reasonable, but Wukong didn't know how to respond for a moment.
