On a barren mountain, in a bamboo forest in the wilderness, there were rocks and withered bamboo leaves everywhere. From this, one could see how few people had come here.
" Master, Master, I see a small town ahead. We can settle down now," a voice suddenly sounded in the bamboo forest.
"Really? "Wukong," a voice rang out. In the bamboo forest, there was a guy with a big frame on his back and monkey fur all over his body leading the way.
Behind him was a white horse that was walking slowly. On the white horse sat a bald monk dressed in simple clothes. There was a string of dark Buddha beads hanging around his neck.
They were Tang Sanzang, who was in the Great Thunderclap Monastery in the Western Heaven, and his eldest disciple, Sun Wukong, who he had just subdued.
However, perhaps Tang Sanzang's brain had been kicked by a donkey. In the desolate mountains and bamboo forests, there were rocks everywhere underground. It was difficult to even walk, but he was still riding a horse. It was really unbelievable!
" Master, master, this way, this way." After passing through the bamboo forest, Sun Wukong, who was carrying a heavy burden on his back, quickly led the white horse on the flat mountain road and kept walking down.
At this moment, a man wearing the same plain scholar's attire was carrying a backpack and humming as he walked up the mountain. He happened to take the same path that Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong had taken down the mountain.
"Eh? A monk in plain clothes riding a white horse and a guy carrying a load on his back. Could they be the two people that Young Master Ling was looking for?”
The man who was carrying a backpack and wearing a scholar's robe was shocked when he saw a bald monk riding a white horse not far away. Then, his face became more and more happy.
About a week ago, Old Master Gao's son-in-law, Young Master Ling, asked people who often went up the mountain to see if there was a monk riding a white horse on the way here.
Those who found them would be able to get 30 taels of silver if they brought them to Gao Lao Village. Therefore, many people came up the mountain to look for them every day. After a week, many people slowly gave up. He originally wanted to try his luck today, so he went up the mountain. He didn't expect to really encounter them.
" Master, there's someone over there. I'll go ask for directions," Sun Wukong, who had sharp eyes, had already seen the man and immediately turned around to speak to Tang Sanzang.
" Go ahead. Remember not to scare them," Tang Sanzang nodded and warned.
" Don't worry, don't worry. I know, Master," Sun Wukong said with a smile. Soon, he arrived in front of the man.
With a "pa" sound, it quickly stretched out its hand and tightly clasped the man's hand."Little brother."
" You, you..." The man was shocked when he saw Sun Wukong's face. He quickly swung his hand and tried to shake Sun Wukong off, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not shake him off.
" Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," Tang Sanzang on the white horse hurriedly said.
" You, you, what kind of monster are you?" The man was so anxious that he almost cried when he saw Sun Wukong up close. It was easy for me to find a person, so how did I meet this monster? Young Master Ling didn't say that one of them was a monster, and now he was captured.
" What kind of monster are you?" When Sun Wukong heard someone calling him a monster, he immediately widened his eyes.
The man was so frightened that he ran back. But no matter what, he could not shake off the monster's hand.
" Brother, don't be afraid. I'm just asking for directions. Where is this place?" Sun Wukong asked with a smile. However, his eyes seemed to say that if you don't tell me, I won't be polite with you.
" Let go, let go, let go of me." The man shook his arm vigorously, trying to struggle free and leave this damn place.
" Uh-huh." Sun Wukong shook his head and held the man's arm tightly. I'm just asking for directions. Tell me first, and I'll let go after you're done."
" Let go of me. How can you ask for directions like this?" The man was displeased when he heard that. Who would not let go of him and only let him go after he spoke first?
" Wukong, talk to people properly," Sanzang, who was on the white horse, immediately berated him when he saw this. Then, he looked at the man with a smile." Little brother, don't be afraid. This is my disciple. Although he looks ugly and scares people, he's a good person. Little brother, don't worry. We just want to ask where this place is."
" This monk and his disciple are the ones that young noble Ling is looking for. Hehe, as long as I bring them to Gao Lao Zhuang, I'll be able to get thirty taels of silver," the man thought happily in his heart when he heard Tang Sanzang's words.
Then, his attitude took a 180-degree turn. He didn't mind Sun Wukong holding his hand again. This was a piece of white silver!
"Master, this is the border of ü-Tsang, and half of the people here have the surname Gao, so there's a small town called Gao Laozhuang," the man said to Tang Sanzang with a smile."I'm just going up the mountain for a stroll, and I'm preparing to return. Master, do you want to rest? I'll lead the way, I'll lead the way."
" Thank you so much, benefactor. Amitabha." Tang Sanzang heard this and chanted the name of Buddha before thanking the man.
"Eh? " I say, you're really strange. At first, you ignored us, but now you're enthusiastically leading us. Are you plotting something?" Sun Wukong looked at the man suspiciously. This man's behavior was too abnormal from the beginning.
" You're really treating your good intentions as ill intentions. If you're unwilling, then forget it. Let go of me," the man said as he looked at Sun Wukong with disdain.
" Wukong, let go. This benefactor must have the heart of a Buddha. Since he's willing to help us, he'll lead the way for us," Tang Sanzang scolded Sun Wukong with a reproachful expression.
" Master, this way, this way." The man brought Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong to the road leading to Gao Laozhuang and then walked to the entrance of Gao Laozhuang.
Then he turned around and said to Tang Sanzang," Master, I'll go in and report to Old Master Gao. He wants you to fast. Wait for me, wait for me." As he spoke, he ran inside.
" Go, go," Sun Wukong waved his hand impatiently. Tang Sanzang raised his head and looked at the three big words hanging above the town gate-Gao Laozhuang.
"Hmm? "Master, why do I smell a demon's scent?" Sun Wukong sniffed and asked in confusion. He actually felt a demonic aura here.
" Ah, a monster. This, what should we do?" Tang Sanzang panicked when he heard that. His disciple Sun Wukong was very sensitive to the aura of a monster. If he said there was one, there was one.
" Master, don't be afraid. With me here, no monster will hurt you." Sun Wukong's words were like a tranquilizer. After hearing it, Tang Sanzang's originally panicked heart calmed down.
