"Old man, do you mean that the pig demon eats people?”Tang Sanzang frowned. In the original novel of Journey to the West in his previous life, it seemed to have recorded that Zhu Bajie was violent and easily killed people when he was still a pig. However, Tang Sanzang could not remember clearly whether he had eaten people.
He didn't mind demons killing and eating humans. It was just like how humans ate meat. It was very normal.
However, Tang Sanzang had a mentality of killing one man-eating monster after another.
He couldn't accept that his second disciple had once eaten someone!
In his previous life, Zhu Bajie's image in movies and television dramas was that of a lazy, lustful, and incompetent person. However, in this real world, it was really hard to say what Zhu Bajie looked like.
"Master, I haven't seen with my own eyes whether this pig demon eats people or not. However, every time someone goes to subdue him, he will kill them and throw out their bones.”The old man explained after thinking for a while.
Tang Sanzang nodded. In that case, he still needed to test Zhu Bajie's true nature.
"Master, then let's leave quickly. Over the years, our teacher has hired exorcists to deal with the pig demon, causing him to have a kind of hostility towards any stranger who appears in this manor. If you stay here and wait for the pig demon to come, you might not be able to leave!”The old man persuaded and pushed Lin Yu 'Er to Tang Sanzang's side.
"Master, it's very dangerous for Yu'e to stay here. You should take her away!”
Tang Sanzang shook his head and said," Don't worry, old man. Once this pig demon comes, we will definitely be able to subdue him. Even if he doesn't come, I will take the initiative to look for him. In the future, the disaster of your Gao family will be over. You don't have to be afraid anymore!”
However, the old man looked at Tang Sanzang's young face and didn't believe that he was a match for the pig demon. He shook his head and stubbornly asked Tang Sanzang to leave.
Helpless, Tang Sanzang could only say to Sun Wukong, who was standing behind him without saying a word,"
"Wukong, since this old man doesn't believe you, you can restore your original appearance for him to see!”
Sun Wukong nodded and walked forward. He canceled his transformation and in an instant, a monkey with a sharp mouth and monkey-like cheeks appeared beside the old man.
"Ah, monster!" The old man turned pale with fright and cried out in shock.
The old woman at the side also cried out in surprise. She originally wanted to find someone to deal with the pig demon, but she did not expect to find another demon instead. What a sin!
Lin Yu'e saw the fear in their eyes and quickly explained,""Grandpa, grandma, this isn't a demon. This is Master's disciple. He has great abilities and will definitely help you defeat that pig demon!”
Lin Yu'e tried her best to convince the two of them that Sun Wukong would not hurt them. She couldn't help but tremble in fear,""Is Elder Sun really not a monster?”
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and said," What monster? I'm the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. How can that monster be compared to me?"”
After saying that, Sun Wukong seemed to have had enough of the old man's endless bragging about the pig demon's behavior and said directly,"Don't worry, I saw the pig demon you mentioned earlier. It's not my match at all. As long as master gives the order, I'll definitely beat that pig demon into a pulp.
Dried meat!"
After hearing Sun Wukong's words, the old man threw away his fear of Sun Wukong and said excitedly,"Elder Sun, I'll have to trouble you then! You must save Cuilan!”
Sun Wukong waved his hand." You can tell my master about this. As long as my master says so, I'll go!"”
After saying that, Sun Wukong sat on the side and closed his eyes to take a nap. He couldn't be bothered with the old man.
The old man then turned his gaze to Tang Sanzang and said,""Master, please forgive me. This old man had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai and underestimated Master. I hope Master will forgive me and save my poor Cuilan!”
As he spoke, the old man became agitated and was about to kneel down in front of Tang Sanzang.
Tang Sanzang quickly grabbed the old man and asked,""Tell me about the situation first, and then I'll definitely help you solve it!”
Although Tang Sanzang had read the original novel and had some memory of this part of the story, it was still not as good as the old man telling it himself. Moreover, after listening to the old man tell it, Tang Sanzang could compare it to see if there was anything in this difficult situation.
Something had changed under the influence of the butterfly effect.
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you now!" The old man said and then began to speak.
"Six years ago, our family wanted to find a live-in son-in-law for our youngest daughter, Cuilan. We wanted him to take over the family property after we passed away and take care of us in our old age.”
"At that time, a man named Zhu Ganglie came to inquire. At that time, Zhu Ganglie was very capable. He could do the work of five people alone.”
"Furthermore, Zhu Ganglie is a gentle person. Our daughter Cuilan likes him a lot, so four years ago, I arranged a wedding for my daughter and Zhu Ganglie.”
"However, we didn't expect that Zhu Gang Lie would drink too much at the wedding banquet. He couldn't maintain his human form anymore, so he turned into a pig's head.”
"As parents, how can we bear to marry our daughter to a demon? Therefore, we immediately went back on our word and wanted to take back this marriage.”
"That Zhu Ganglie refused and begged me. I was touched, but I still couldn't make the decision to marry my daughter to a monster.”
"I didn't expect Zhu Ganglie to suddenly go crazy after being rejected by me time and time again. He locked my Cuilan in the backyard and even locked the door with his own lock.”
"The demon on the wall of the backyard is also filled with magic power. Us mortals have no way of climbing over it, so we can only suffer. Facing that demon in the backyard every day, I'm afraid it's very difficult!”As he spoke, the old man wiped his tears.
After listening to the old man's story, Tang Sanzang nodded. Judging from these, it seemed that there was no difference from the original work. It was still the same, which made Tang Sanzang heave a sigh of relief.
It seemed that the butterfly effect did not affect a large area!
"Old man, don't worry. We've already understood the matter. When the pig demon comes, we'll definitely save your daughter!”Tang Sanzang said confidently.
When the old man heard this, he immediately thanked him profusely and bowed to Tang Sanzang. The old granny and Lin Yu'e also bowed.
"Alright, alright, there's no need to be so polite. Let's not delay any longer. Let's go to the backyard and save your daughter first!”Tang Sanzang said.
The old man naturally had no objections. He immediately led the few of them to the backyard.
However, before he could reach it, a gust of black wind blew over from afar. At the same time, a rough voice sounded,
"Father-in-law, who did you invite to subdue me?”
