Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons

This is the current situation.

There are four people in the field, Liu Bochin, a professional hunter, and an ordinary human.

Xuanzang, a professional monk, twenty-seven years old.

Huo Linger, a professional fairy, can’t even tell her age.

Wen Jiao, a professional female crown girl, is over 40 years old.

But judging from the appearance, Liu Bochin is undoubtedly the most vicissitudes of life one, followed by Xuanzang. Huo Linger looks to be only in her early twenties, and as for Wen Jiao, she looks more like a young girl in her twenties.

In this case, if you tell the first monk that the other two are the elders of the second monk, and the youngest one is even his mother, do you think he will believe it? Or will he think that the second monk is not only a playboy but also a crazy monk?

Stopping Xuanzang who wanted to tell the truth, Wen Jiao said first: "We are relatives of Master Xuanzang's uncle. Since we have some magic skills, we specially come to escort him."

She is his uncle's biological sister, and Huo Ling'er is a good friend of his uncle's biological sister. This statement is very reasonable.

Liu Bochin still didn't believe it at first, but seeing that the three people had clear eyes and extraordinary demeanor, and that they didn't seem to be doing anything shameful, he reluctantly accepted the explanation and invited them again, "It's getting late. I would like to invite the three of you to rest in my humble abode. What do you think, ladies?"

Wen Jiao originally wanted to send Xuanzang to Liangjie Mountain to see the monkey in one breath, but after hearing this and looking at Xuanzang's tired face, she nodded.

Liu Bochin's mother and wife saw that Liu Bochin went out and did not catch any prey, but instead brought back two women and one man. They looked at Liu Bochin with confused eyes.

Seeing his wife's face turn pale, Liu Bochin quickly explained, "After my son went out, he walked for several miles but didn't encounter any big prey. Suddenly, he heard a tiger roar coming from the back of the mountain. When he rushed over, he saw the mage fighting the tiger. Seeing that the mage was very skilled, my son wanted to invite him back to compete with him. These two girls are the mage's relatives who sent him to Tatar. Mother, wife, please prepare dinner quickly. My son and the mage are eating and are just about to learn a few moves." He sighed, "It's a pity that we didn't catch any game this time. We can only kill a domestic deer to entertain the guests."

After hearing this, Xuanzang said quickly, "No, no, I have been a vegetarian since I was born."

Liu Bochin was very embarrassed when he heard this: "The hunters have nothing to eat. Even if they have some wild mushrooms and dried vegetables, they have to be fried with meat oil. What should we do?"

Wen Jiao interrupted and said, "We brought our own dry food, so there's no need to trouble your mother and your wife."

Liu Boqin's mother looked at the empty sleeves of the three people and saw that they didn't have any food in them, so she said, "Don't be polite. Don't listen to my son's nonsense. He's a man who never cooks, so how can he know the details? Although it's a bit troublesome for my family, I have my own way to make vegetarian food."

"Really, there's no need. You're worrying too much." Wen Jiao said as she pulled out a dark jade pot from her sleeve and poured it gently into her palm.

Something came out of the spout of the kettle, which was only the size of a mustard bean. In the blink of an eye, it fell into her palm and turned into a palm-sized lotus leaf bag. She poured it several times and poured out a small pile of lotus leaf bags, which were stacked on the table in the shape of a pagoda. She opened the lotus leaf bag on the top of the pagoda and found a piece of still warm Jushengnu inside. She handed it to Liu Bochin's mother, opened another one and gave it to Liu Bochin's wife: "A few snacks, just as a token of respect."

There is a famous couplet in the Ming Dynasty's "Tao Fu Ji", which goes: "The universe is huge in the sleeve, and the sun and moon are long in the pot." It describes two Taoist magical powers, the universe in the sleeve and the sun and moon in the pot.

The former's representative figures include Zhen Yuanzi, the four-member team of Journey to the West plus a white dragon horse, who were treated like toys by him and held in his sleeves again and again. Even with the magical power of a monkey and a magical weapon like the golden hoop, he couldn't break out.

The representative of the latter is Fei Changfang's master Hu Gong, who used the magic of immortals to refine a pot, which contained the sun, moon, stars, earth, water, fire, wind, mountains, water, pavilions and towers, just like a small world. When he had nothing to do on weekdays, he would go into the pot to rest and feel very comfortable.

Wen Jiao naturally didn't have the abilities of these two great masters, but she had studied Taoist books over the years, and with her ingenuity, she had also made a lot of gadgets, and this Xuanyu pot was one of them. It could hold a lot of things, and it would remain the same when it was put in. But her ability was limited after all, so it could only hold dead things, not living things, and there was only a hundred square meters of space at most.

She also loves snacks, and she usually puts snacks made by Aunt Shen in her pans. Aunt Shen is still very skilled, and she is still fighting on the front line of pots and pans. In the past twelve years, her cooking skills have improved, which has brought Wen Jiao endless surprises. If she hadn't said to Taibai Jinxing that they had to have a barbecue, she could have used the food she stored to entertain them.

Although a god has seen everything and looks down on her mortal food, it still shows her sincerity that she grills the meat herself.

Liu Boqin's family had no idea what was going on, and were stunned by her smooth and flowing actions. Old Lady Liu held the snacks in her hands in fear and trepidation, and shrank under the table, looking like she was about to kneel down to her: "Goddess, we have met a real god!"

Wen Jiao hurriedly held him back: "I am just a cultivator, and I am still a mortal in the secular world. I would like to borrow the old man's auspicious words, and hope that he can really ascend to heaven in the future."

So the dinner was divided into two tables. The Liu family set up one table, and the Yin family sat at another table, eating the dishes and snacks that Yin Wenjiao brought. Of course, in order to take care of the feelings of Xuanzang, who was sitting at the same table, all the dishes served were vegetarian dishes and fruits. Because Xuanzang and Wenjiao ate in a gentle manner, Liu Bochin was embarrassed to wolf down the food, so he had to take a bite, chew it slowly for a few times, and repeat it.

Seeing how reserved he was, Wen Jiao took the initiative to talk to Old Lady Liu and Lady Liu: "The old lady is from here, so she must be very familiar with the local customs. I wonder if there are any evil spirits around here that can harm people?"

Old Lady Liu said, "There are some spirits, but I have never seen any that hurt people. In the past, I often heard that there were wild bears, wild cattle, and wild tigers in the mountains ahead that ate and killed people, but later on, they gradually disappeared. The old people here often say that these beasts are very fierce before they become spirits, but after they become spirits, they dare not eat people at will for fear of being struck by lightning. I guess these few have become spirits. I haven't seen them for a long time, so I can't say for sure. Anyway, I have never seen a demon with my own eyes."

It seems that Xiong Shanjun and Te Chushi did not dare to eat people after becoming demons. They just saw General Yin catching people to eat, so they took the opportunity to eat a meal to satisfy their cravings. They also took advantage of General Yin's lack of knowledge of the rules and tricked him into killing people to satisfy their own appetites. They don't have to bear the sin of killing.

The beads on this abacus are so well arranged.

Liu Lao Niang pondered and added, "If we go further, at the border between our Tang land and Tatar, there is a Liangjie Mountain, and underneath it is a divine monkey."
