Chapter 27

When the woman saw Wukong, she was stunned.

She was startled at first, then her beautiful eyes revealed many complicated expressions, "Why are you here?"

Wukong frowned and asked her, "Why are you here?"

He recognized this demon.

He remembered that the other party was a nine-tailed fox with seven tails.

Back then, the demon kings of the 72 caves of Huaguo Mountain were all under his tutelage.

This fox demon was one of the few women, and she was quite capable.

He couldn't help but look at her in a new light.

He just couldn't remember her name.

The nine-tailed fox lowered her eyelids.

He couldn't see her expression. She only said softly, "The world is unpredictable." She turned her head again and twirled a pearl flower on her head.

She was not satisfied with either side.

"Which side do you think is better?"

Wukong walked over.

He touched two more on the dressing table.

One on each side and gave her a symmetrical one.

The nine-tailed fox stared at the mirror intently. Although it was crooked, she was very satisfied.

The room was full of red.

There were big red "Xi" characters everywhere. She was also wearing a gorgeous red wedding dress.

Wukong looked around.

He didn't find any clues, so he asked her, "This demon forced you to get married?"

The fox demon asked, "How do you know he forced me?"

Wukong said, "Your expression just now showed that you were unwilling."

The fox demon smiled. "You're right.

I lied to you.

I didn't do it willingly. "

She stood up.

She lifted her complicated dress and eight fluffy tails appeared behind her. Unfortunately, they were all cut in half. Only half of each tail was left hanging dispiritedly.

Even Wukong felt that it was a pity when he saw it. The tail was cut off, which meant that her years of cultivation were ruined. "Did he do it?"

The fox demon finally showed a fragile expression. Big drops of tears rolled down without warning. Her voice was weak and pitiful. "Great Sage, can you take me back?"

Wukong carried the Jingu Bang on his shoulder. "Let's go." He walked to the door and asked as he walked, "Is the living soil in his hands?

Get the living soil back first.

Do you know where … "

Before he could finish his sentence, he felt an invisible barrier at the door bouncing him away.

"We can't get out."

The fox demon whispered, "He used half of the Living Soil to build this house to trap me. There's only entry and no exit."

Wukong slowly turned around and looked at her sad face.

"Step back," he said.

The fox demon could not help but retreat to the corner of the wall.

The golden light almost blinded her eyes. The Golden Cudgel stretched infinitely, but it couldn't break the roof.

The entire room was completely destroyed. However, no matter what kind of supernatural power he used, the large frame still did not move an inch. Even his supernatural power was faintly devoured, giving him an ominous premonition.

"Great Sage." The fox demon hid in the corner and called out to him softly.

Wukong was thinking of a countermeasure, so he ignored her and said, "Say it."

The fox demon said, "I realized that you have never called out my name.

Aren't you going to call my name? "

Wukong, "…" His impression was limited to the "promising nine-tailed fox", but he couldn't remember her name.

"Great Sage." She repeated stubbornly, with a hint of begging, "Can you call me by my name?"

Back then, there were countless female demons from various mountains who expressed their goodwill to him, so how could Wukong not understand? After a pause, he said directly, "I don't remember."

He heard the fox demon was silent for a moment, then she laughed self-deprecatingly and slowly walked in front of him.

"You really don't remember me."

She murmured and reached out to take away Wukong's Golden Cudgel, but it was too heavy to carry, so she retracted her hand regretfully, "Now you remember, my name is Jiu Jiao."

New tails made of mud grew out from the eight broken tails. She rolled up the Golden Cudgel and threw it aside, then wrapped it around Wukong.

Wukong couldn't move and realized that he was tricked by her, "So it was a bait."

She pulled Wukong's hand and wrote down her name stroke by stroke, "You still took the bait.

Great Sage, your heart is made of stone, why is it so soft? "

Xuanzang said that female demons were very innocent, so if you see them, don't fight and kill.

Unknowingly, he was brainwashed.

"If you had called my name just now, I would have let you go."

Tears fell from her face, "Unfortunately, you didn't. I don't even have the right to be remembered by you."

A golden light danced in her limpid eyes.

It was him.

"I was careless." Wukong whispered, "I didn't expect you to be the one who got the Living Soil."

"But you will remember it soon." She turned a deaf ear to him, and her teary face smiled, like a dewy rose in the morning.

This was a huge altar, and round bright red vessels were arranged closely. There were thousands of them, and one couldn't see the end of them.

However, every shallow pit was covered with large red flowers, and the roof was as high as ten stories. It was covered with countless layers of red gauze and satin flowers. Rather than calling it an altar, it was better to call it a wedding venue.

Xuanzang had already revealed his original appearance, sitting cross-legged on the largest vessel in the middle. He looked straight ahead and closed his eyes to recite his scriptures.

Wujing was hanging from the beam, and the White Dragon Horse was also unconscious.

The Grand Preceptor stood in front of him and didn't immediately attack. Instead, he looked at him with interest, "The Holy Monk is still waiting for the Great Sage to save him?"

Xuanzang didn't respond, and continued to recite his scriptures as usual.

"What a pity."

The Grand Preceptor sighed, "Your good disciple can't save you. I'm afraid he has been seduced by your beauty and wants to be my son-in-law."

Xuanzang slowly opened his eyes, looked at him and said calmly, "Wukong is not here."

His eyes were clear and peaceful, and one could see through to the end with a glance. However, they were like the clear wind and the clear moon, a clear mirror and still water. His whole person revealed a tranquil and tranquil temperament, and no matter how you tried to tempt him, he wouldn't move.

One could even smell a trace of elegant Buddhist incense.

For a moment, the Grand Preceptor felt that he was covered in filth and didn't deserve to look him in the eye. His heart trembled, and he panicked and looked away, saying, "Why is he not here yet?"

Just as he was speaking, a heavenly melody drifted into the hall. Following that, a procession of people carrying the dowry floated in the air. They stopped not far from Xuanzang and stood in two neat rows. Their eyes were hollow, and they looked like ghosts. Anyone who looked at them would feel their scalp go numb.

A woman wearing a red wedding dress and a red veil walked through the middle of the path, and lotus flowers bloomed with every step she took.

"You're finally here." The Grand Preceptor breathed a sigh of relief, "Good girl, don't miss my good time."

He waved his hand, and tables, chairs, and candles flew to the place where he was standing. The decorations were jubilant, and he sat on one side, which was obviously the seat of the Grand Preceptor.

Xuanzang was a little confused. This woman is getting married?

With whom?

Could it be me?

Just as he was thinking, another person wearing a red dress was carried into the wedding procession. Looking at his body, he was a child of five or six years old, and his hair was golden. His tender little face was gloomy, which was inconsistent with his age, and the hoop on his head was very familiar.

Xuanzang's eyes widened, but before he could call out, he was pulled to the empty seat next to the Grand Preceptor by an invisible force.

The Grand Preceptor smiled and said to him, "Today is my daughter and your disciple's wedding. I'd like to ask the Holy Monk to be a witness."

The King's bedroom was very quiet, and there were only two or three palace servants who were sleepy in the outer hall. It was impossible to tell that there was a ruler living here.

There was a sickly person lying on the dragon bed. Ba Jie went over and called out, "Your Majesty."

The King opened his eyes slightly, and when he saw a strange person, he closed them again, "Evildoer, you will get your retribution sooner or later."

Ba Jie touched his nose and changed back to his good appearance. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I'm here to save you."

The King opened his eyes again and asked doubtfully, "Really?"

Ba Jie said, "Yes.

Your Majesty, where is that evildoer now?

I'll call him back for you. "

"The old evildoer doesn't know, but that little bitch is getting married tonight. I don't know which bastard she is marrying."

The King's face was ferocious, and he pointed in a direction with his trembling finger, "He's in the old evildoer's residence. Little immortal, you can catch him now."

Ba Jie said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. I'll catch that evildoer now.

Your Majesty, there's one more thing. A year ago, that Old Taoist dug up something. It's a treasure that my master lost, and it's no small matter.

Your Majesty, do you know where it is? "

"I don't know where it is, but the old evildoer is focused on some sacrificial ceremony, so he dug a big project under his palace." He said hatefully, "Old immortal, if you see that bitch, kill her directly. She's not a good person!"

It was indeed a sacrificial ceremony!

The King said again, "I saw him bringing things in and out of that bitch's room day and night to fiddle with them. It must be in her room!"

Ba Jie was overjoyed. He thanked the King and turned to leave.

The courtyard of the "bitch" that the King mentioned was easy to find. Ba Jie followed two palace servants and found it. There were palace servants lying at the door, and the room was destroyed. The palace servants were in a mess.

Ba Jie sneaked in and saw the Jingu Bang lying inside. His heart tightened. He guessed that Wukong might have been trapped here before, but he wasn't affected.

He spent a lot of effort to pick up the Jingu Bang and searched in the ruins. Soon, he found a secret passage behind a painting.

The scene in the passage was too strange. No matter how experienced and knowledgeable Ba Jie was, he still felt a chill down his spine.

Even if the Heart Sutra could nourish the spirit, Xuanzang's heart was in a mess. It wasn't because Wukong was going to marry someone, but because Wukong was also tied up. It seemed that he was also affected by the living soil and turned into a child's form.

"Pay your respects."

A woman's gentle voice came out. The woman who tied up Wukong pulled him and made him kneel between Xuanzang and the Imperial Preceptor.

Wukong forcibly changed his angle and knelt only facing Xuanzang. He also looked back at him. His eyes were full of thoughts and he couldn't move at all.

Xuanzang looked into those eyes and his heart trembled. He didn't know why, but he felt that he was going to cry.

They looked at each other without saying a word.

The woman also knelt down and didn't move for a long time. She lifted the veil and shouted, "What are you doing?

Bow to heaven and earth! "

"They can't do it." The Imperial Preceptor had no choice but to get down from his position and press Wukong's back down to kowtow. However, he couldn't move.

"What a body made of bronze and iron."

The woman saw this and sneered. She showed her two remaining tails and pressed them on Wukong's back. She still couldn't move him.

Xuanzang looked at his stubborn eyes and his tears fell. He wanted to hug him but he couldn't move. He could only look at him to show that he was still there.

The woman gradually stopped moving. She walked back and forth between Xuanzang and Wukong. She seemed to have realized something.

She stared at Wukong in disbelief and pointed at him three times. She said with a trembling voice, "I thought you were born with a stone heart. Even if I'm not important, so what? Other people can't enter your heart. The heavenly soldiers cleaned up Mount Huaguo. I broke all my tails to protect your monkeys and waited for you to come back. I thought I've done enough for you, at least I'm different from others. I didn't expect, I didn't expect …" She said with tears, "You actually have such a despicable and dirty heart. What's the difference between you and me?

No, you're not as good as me. "

Wukong only looked at Xuanzang. Even if the sky fell, it wouldn't be able to stop him.

"I'm afraid you won't hate me even if I kill you." She smiled and pointed at Xuanzang. "What if I kill him in front of you?"

Wukong finally reacted. His eyes were about to crack. Golden light flashed in his eyes as if he could shoot to the sky in the next second.

"I won't marry him first."

She looked at Wukong but said to the State Preceptor word by word, "Sacrifice, Sacrifice, Monk, Tang, Tang, Monk!"

The State Preceptor sighed. "As long as you're happy."

A dagger appeared in his hand. He was about to take Xuanzang's heart.

"Wait a minute."

Xuanzang suddenly said. His voice was much calmer than he imagined. "You only want my heart?"

The State Preceptor stopped. "What else?"

Xuanzang lowered his eyes. He didn't dare to look at Wukong again. "Eat a piece of my meat and you'll be immortal."

The State Preceptor said, "There's no hurry. Naturally, I want all of it."

Xuanzang's eyelashes trembled slightly. "There's a way to eat where we come from. Cut the meat piece by piece and roast it. This way, the meat is the freshest. Do you want to … try it?"

The King laughed. "You want to stall for time?"

He looked at Wukong. "He doesn't have a weapon and he doesn't have the ability he used to have. What can he do?

You're just hurting for nothing. "

Xuanzang said softly, "But I'm his master. I can't teach him anything. If I can let him suffer less, I'll just stall for a while."

"Let him protect."

The woman sneered. "Let his good disciple see how his master is cut into pieces!"

Wukong only felt his anger burning, burning every part of his body to the point that he was suffering. The Living Earth's main body turned into the fox demon's tail and wrapped around his body, completely trapping his transcendence energy.

The raging mana wanted to rush out of his body, but it encountered a bottleneck at the top of his head. It couldn't rush out. Without the Golden Hoop Incantation, he was also squeezed until his head was splitting.

He watched as Xuanzang was going to suffer, but he couldn't save him. He couldn't save him!

He thought of something in the chaos. He tried to calm down and gathered his mana in his liver. The sleeping ginseng fruit tree woke up and frantically absorbed his mana.

Wood restrains earth. It can't be wrong.

The ginseng fruit tree sprouted branches and leaves. The branches and leaves actually penetrated his body and began to absorb the invisible Living Soil.

The State Preceptor set up a charcoal rack and was really going to roast it.

However, just as he set it up, he was shocked by Wukong's change. He cried out, "What is that?!"

Wukong stood up shakily. He was growing rapidly. His body was surrounded by the branches and leaves that penetrated his body. It was almost impossible to see his original appearance.

"He hasn't fully recovered!"

The woman said calmly. Her two tails quickly grew bigger and wrapped around Wukong. "After sacrificing the Tang Seng, do you still need to be afraid of him?!"

Hearing this, the State Preceptor swept past Xuanzang and reached the vessel below. However, his heart was suddenly pierced by the branches and leaves that suddenly stretched out. He actually died.

Xuanzang fell to the ground. He was still in shock. He looked up and saw that Wukong was actually restrained by the woman. He was afraid that the stab just now had exhausted his strength.

He slowly stood up. His hands were shaking. While he was at a loss, he heard Ba Jie's voice shouting, "Brother, catch!"

Xuanzang was surprised. "Ba Jie!"

Ba Jie untied Wujing and rushed over when he heard the sound. He carried him to a safe place. "Master, are you hurt?"

Xuanzang shook his head and said anxiously, "Go and help Wukong!"

"I've already helped," Ba Jie said.

A hand covered with branches and leaves came out of the tail and took the Jingu Bang. In an instant, the golden light shone brightly. The woman's tail was shaken off and the branches and leaves slowly faded away. Wukong stabilized his body.

"Thank you for protecting my monkeys."

He pointed the Jingu Bang at the woman. Her body was covered in golden light and there was gold flowing in her eyes. "There are too many people who want to be remembered by me. Who do you think you are?"

"Okay, okay …" Her eyes lit up and then slowly closed and extinguished, as if the word "thank you" was enough.
