[Journey to the West] Untainted is pure

Shasheng took a deep breath, looked at the faces in front of her who dared not speak out, and said helplessly, "You people, can you easily judge us as demons just by my elder brother's appearance?"

Her words caused the people in the crowd to whisper again, as if they were discussing something.

Suddenly, the crowd was pushed aside, and a burly man stood up with a serious look and a stern expression on his face.

Shasheng was stunned for a moment, tilted her head to look at him carefully, felt the obvious hostility on his body, pursed her lips and asked, "What do you want to say?"

The big man snorted coldly, with a bit of jealousy in his eyes: "You say you are not demons, if you don't have some evidence, it's nonsense."

He held the hoe tightly in his hand, with a fierce look in his eyes, ready to hit Shasheng on the head at all times.

Shasheng couldn't get used to such sarcastic words the most, and felt very upset, so she frowned subconsciously: "If we were monsters, we would have eaten you up long ago, so why waste our tongues with you here? Are you surrounded by monsters?!"

"That's right, you all judge people by their appearance too much." After reading the joke, Zhu Bajie finally put away his hippie smile and participated in the debate.

Discussions erupted in the crowd, some frowned, and some remained expressionless, as if they would not believe what they said.But there are always people who can distinguish right from wrong and hesitate in their hearts.

Sha Sheng sighed, and said: "I'm serious, we came from the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Land and are preparing to go to the Western Paradise to learn Buddhist scriptures. We are not monsters."

Sun Wukong suddenly had a piece of grass in his mouth, and watched the play in a comfortable posture. Like him, Tang Seng was also silent. The two of them already subconsciously threw the matter to Sasheng, so they were too lazy to talk.

"You talk in plain language, who can believe what you say." Some people still push forward, which makes Sha Sheng a headache.

Pressing the center of her eyebrows, she smiled and asked, "In that case, what are you going to do?"

These people had already made up their wishful thinking and invited the two most famous Taoist priests in the village. Seeing what Sha Sheng said, they immediately pushed them out.

Someone said: "If you can let them try it, if there is no abnormality, we will believe that you are."

Shasheng took a deep breath, thinking that it was really uncomfortable to be suspected, but there was nothing she could do.

Shrugging, she smiled relaxedly: "Okay, we don't care."

Seeing her let go, someone in the crowd immediately signaled the two Taoist priests to move forward. They held mahogany swords and a few spells drawn with blood.

One of them put the spell on Sasheng's forehead, and Sasheng didn't feel anything unusual except for a cold touch on his forehead.

Seeing that she was fine, the two Taoist priests suddenly hesitated and looked at each other. The two mahogany swords were swinging back and forth around Shasheng, and they were also chanting incomprehensible incantations.

Shasheng thought to herself, with their level, if a monster really came to this village, the whole army should be wiped out, and I don't know who has the ability to drive the monster away.

When she was wondering, the two Taoist priests had already tried Tang Seng and others in the same way.

After a lot of tossing, most of the doubts in everyone's hearts were finally eliminated. After a long time, someone said slowly: "Are you really not monsters?"

Sha Sheng smiled at him, shook her head: "No."

At this moment, the crowd around them loosened a little and began to disperse to both sides.

An old woman looked at them hesitantly, pinched the hem of her skirt, walked over boldly, and said, "In that case, what are you guys doing tonight?"

Shasheng took a look at the shackles around her waist, they were exactly the same as the old man who just passed out, and she knew what she said in her heart.

With a relaxed face, she smiled and said, "We've been traveling for a day, and we're very hungry now, so I want to ask for some vegetarian food."

The old woman's body suddenly went limp, and she fell to the ground. Only then did she truly free herself from her panic, and said with a deep breath, "It turned out to be like this. I was scared to death and laughed to death!"

Saying that, she looked up at Shasheng, then looked behind her, her gaze paused for a second on Sun Wukong's face, she frowned and said, "However, that elder's appearance is too..."

"Hey." Sasheng knew what she wanted to say, so she interrupted her and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, what you said is that we didn't think carefully and scared you. We are sorry for that."

Considering that she will have to fill her stomach later, Shasheng is more polite to the old woman at the moment.

The old woman's mood eased because of her words. If she was a monster, she would definitely not talk like this. Then the crowd gradually dispersed, and the fainted old man woke up under the careful care of the old woman.

Shasheng and the others were welcomed into the house, and the old woman brought the vegetarian food, just a few steamed buns and some pickles.

But Shasheng and the others have been hungry for a long time, seeing food now is like a cat seeing a mouse, drooling, eating with great joy.

After a meal, Shasheng actually felt that since she was born, she has never been so satisfied as she is now.

After finishing the vegetarian meal, I suddenly heard Sun Wukong ask: "Hey, old man, what's the matter with your leg?"

Several people discovered early on that the old man's body was obviously unstable when he walked, and he was limping. He should have been injured in the early years, or he was born with a hidden disease.

The old man was stunned for a moment, touched his thigh with his hand, and said with a wry smile: "It's not because of the monster."

When mentioning monsters, the group looked serious, put down their chopsticks, and listened quietly to the old man.

About a year ago, several strange incidents happened suddenly in the village. The first one was that a young girl in the village disappeared suddenly, followed by several similar incidents.

But one day, the monster went crazy and broke into the old man's house, almost killing the old man and the others.Fortunately, a Bodhisattva appeared in time and seriously injured the monster, and the old man and the old man survived.

However, although the old man escaped to death, his leg was really lame, and the medical conditions in the village were not good, so he could only go on like this.

In this way, a person who was originally a good person became a disabled person.

This is good for the old man, compared to him, those old people who have lost their children are really suffering.

After Zhu Bajie heard this, he couldn't help cursing: "It's just insane."

Thinking back when he was a monster in Gao Laozhuang, at most he just wanted to scare people, store up some food to eat, and he never did anything harmful to nature.

Sure enough, these days, there are no monsters as good as him.

All of them were greedy for profit, and their hands were covered with blood.Sha Sheng also sighed, and said to the old man, "My condolences."

But the old man waved his hand and smiled: "It's all in the past, don't worry about it, don't talk about it." After speaking, he limped towards the stove again.

Tang Seng looked at his back, lowered his head and sighed.

Sun Wukong lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile, "Master, your sigh is really terrible."

"Eldest brother, your level of stalking is getting better and better." Zhu Bajie lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and shook his head, feeling very helpless.

Hearing what he said, Sun Wukong became angry from embarrassment, and the monkey hairs on his head exploded like ice flowers, so he slapped Zhu Bajie on the back, and said angrily, "You pig head, what does it matter to you? My grandson looks at it." You really owe it to me these days!"

Zhu Bajie put down the teacup in his hand, straightened his chest and turned back, "It should have been."

……

That's it, the two of them fought for about half an hour because of such a simple matter.

Tang Seng Shasheng was bored, seeing them being so funny, his physical fatigue was relieved a lot.If it wasn't for Shasheng who wanted to concentrate and rest for a while, she might join them because she couldn't help it.

After a while, the old woman helped the old man walk in and said, "It's time to rest."

At this moment, Sun Wukong is pinching Zhu Bajie's two big ears, his face is flushed, and his brows are tightly knit, while Zhu Bajie is pulling Sun Wukong's hair, refusing to let go.

Seeing that the two were about to start cursing again, Tang Seng coughed a few times and said calmly, "That's enough, it's time to rest."

"Yeah, senior brother, second senior brother, if the two of you continue to fight like this, it will be dark." Speaking of the little expert, Sha Sheng is not a cover.

Zhu Bajie and Monkey King stopped their hands and went to the room arranged by the old woman for them to rest.

It was just less than an hour after falling asleep, when suddenly there was a rustling sound coming from outside, the people in the room gradually regained consciousness and listened carefully to the movement outside.

Zhu Bajie also heard it, and asked, "Could it be a thief?"

Tang Seng said, "How is it possible? With us here, how could the thief come?"

Monkey King suddenly said from the side, "I'm really worried that we won't hear this movement."

The originally heavy atmosphere suddenly split because of his words, Sha Sheng smiled and said, "Brother, why don't you go out and have a look?"

As soon as the words came out, Tang Seng Zhu Bajie said, "This statement is reasonable".

Sun Wukong cursed in the dark, and said, "I won't go, I still have to sleep." He turned over, pulled the quilt over, and put it on to sleep.

A few people thought about it, and felt that it was nothing serious, so they continued to lie down and sleep.

After a while, there was a snoring sound in the air.

Shasheng couldn't help laughing, "Second senior brother, is that you?" She answered with a louder snort.

Monkey King became impatient, gritted his teeth, and said, "This pig head, let's see how I deal with him tomorrow." After speaking, he covered his ears and continued to sleep.

But Tang Seng was not affected by the snoring at all, and still slept soundly.
