Journey to the West: Monks do not tell lies, they only rob

The old man's sardonic expression immediately changed to a smile, "Please come in."

As he said this, he even tried to help carry the luggage into the house. There was a huge difference between the two.

As soon as Tang Shan and the others sat down, Bajie's stomach started to growl.

If it were any other family, he would have been clamoring for dinner long ago.

But facing the stingy old man in front of him, he felt it would be better to keep his breath and warm his stomach.

The old man turned and went into the house and brought out two plates of vegetarian dishes.

Tang Shan took a glance and saw dried tofu, white radish, gluten tofu, etc. It looked quite rich.

Bajie swallowed and stared at Tang Shan eagerly.

Master, can I eat it?

Tang Shan turned and looked straight at the old man. Do you want to pay for these foods?

Wukong and Sha Seng had already taken out the peaches and started eating them.

Sha Seng also fed a few to the white dragon horse at the door.

The old man was stunned for a few moments before he reacted, "It's free, it's free."

When Bajie heard that it was edible, he didn't even pick up his chopsticks. He picked up the bowl with both hands and started to slurp.

Tang Shan wasn't very hungry, so she picked up a few of the ones closest to her to try.

Before he could even swallow the rice, the old man started talking.

Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world.

"Holy monk, we in Tuola Village are all honest farmers. My last name is Li, so you can just call me Old Man Li."

Tang Shan nodded and signaled him to continue with her eyes.

"In recent years, every June, there would always be a sudden and inexplicable evil wind."

Old man Li seemed to remember what he saw at that time and trembled with fear.

Bajie wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and said disdainfully, "Look how timid you are! You were frightened by a gust of wind."

"No, no, no!" Old Man Li said hurriedly, "There's a monster in the wind. Wherever the wind blows, cattle, sheep, pigs, and horses are eaten alive. Several men and women in the village have been eaten."

When the gust of wind died down, there was no trace of blood on the ground; it had all been swallowed alive.

Bajie and the White Dragon Horse suddenly felt a sense of crisis. This was a monster that specialized in eating pigs and horses alive...

Wukong and Tang Shan also cast their eyes on the two of them. Wouldn't that mean they had bait immediately?

Wukong: "Can you see clearly what kind of monster it is?"

"My goodness, how dare we take a closer look!"

Old man Li recalled, "When it came, there was a gust of wind, sweeping across the sky and the earth. When it left, there was a cloud of fog. I could only vaguely feel that the figure must have been very large."

Bajie: "It's like you didn't say anything."

There is no key information at all, which makes me feel insecure!

Old man Li scratched his head and said, "You'll know when you see it."

"What!" Bajie put down the basin and stood up, "When did we ever say we were going to fight monsters?"

His eyes were as big as copper bells. He looked at Old Man Li and then at Tang Shan with a look of surprise.

They just come here to stay and have a meal, but they have to help people fight monsters?

Those fake Taoist priests who deceive the people are still receiving gold and silver, so their real swords and guns are too cheap.

Old Man Li was obviously frightened by Bajie's extreme reaction. "Aren't you monks? God is merciful. I gave you all my food."

Tang Shan: They started to morally blackmail me.

Unfortunately, he kidnapped the wrong person.

She signaled Bajie to sit down with her eyes.

"Donor Li, this matter is difficult to say, but it's also difficult to say."

"Ah?" Old man Li was shocked. He was speaking tongue twisters with a farmer?

Tang Shan rubbed her fingers together, making a snapping sound. "Even though I'm a holy monk, I still need to eat."

How about it, do you understand what I mean?

Old Man Li: Eat? Didn’t you all just eat?

"Oh~" he suddenly realized, "You're not full yet, are you?"

"Oh no"

Old man Li immediately turned around and walked out the door, shouting, "Hey, bring the food over here! The demon-killing Taoist priest wants to eat!"

It was dinner time, and the howl was heard by half the people in the village.

In a short while, seven or eight families nearby came over with food.

Tang Shan sat at the table with a look of despair on her face, with all kinds of vegetarian dishes placed in front of her.

"Eat!" Old Man Li and seven or eight other strong men looked at Tang Shan. "I'm sure you'll be full."

They had smiles on their faces, finally someone was willing to come here to capture the monster.

The two Taoist priests that each household had pooled money to hire were killed by the monster, and were even reported to the government by their families and got into trouble with the law.

Since then, no one dared to come and capture the monster.

Tang Shan burped and silently pushed the food away.

Now that things have come to this, I can only take this order based on my conscience.

"Then tell me, when does this goblin usually come out?"

They can't stay here forever just for a goblin.

"This..." Old Man Li exchanged glances with the others. "We only know that it appears from time to time in June."

How would they know when the goblins would get hungry and come out to eat?

"Alas~" Tang Shan sighed, "It seems that this is the only way."

As she said this, she stood up and walked out the door.

Wukong and Sha Seng stood on either side, "Master, are you really going to do this?"

Old Man Li and his companions followed closely behind, "What should we do?"

At this time, Bajie was sitting in front of the dinner table, fighting to the death with the mountain of food.

Tang Shan nodded and said, "Disciples, my safety is now in your hands."

Wukong and Sha Wujing nodded, "Don't worry, Master. I will definitely keep you safe."

Sha Monk: "With my senior brother here, there will definitely be no problem."

He knew that his skills were enough to defeat a small monster, but he would have to rely on his senior brother for big monsters.

Tang Shan retracted her arms, which had just been extended. "Where's Bajie?"

How can we be without a bodyguard at such a great and exciting moment?

Although it is not very useful, the momentum cannot be weak.

Without saying a word, Wukong ran into the house, twisted Bajie's ear and walked out.

"Monkey, Monkey Brother, I'll go by myself, you go first." Bajie quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Let me go!"

Tang Shan nodded with satisfaction. Now everyone was here.

Several strong men pushed Old Man Li out, "Saint Monk, what on earth are you planning to do?"

It's all so mysterious. If there's any danger, they have to find a place to hide quickly.

"Oh~" Tang Shan slapped her forehead, "I almost forgot about you."

"Hurry home and lock the doors and windows, or you might get hurt by a monster if it comes later."

"boom!"

"Boom!"

bang bang bang-

As soon as she finished speaking, the residents of the village closed their doors.

Even the door of Old Man Li's house behind him was closed immediately.

In an instant, only Master Tang Shan and his apprentice were left outside the entire village.

"That's right," Tang Shan said helplessly, "There's no need to be so fast."

Okay, everything is ready, only I am missing.

Tang Shan gave her disciples a firm look, and they nodded.

Bajie looked around in confusion. He was eating so well, why did he suddenly become so serious?

Tang Shan walked to the open space outside the manor with a step that didn't recognize any relatives.

He opened his arms and shouted loudly: "Hahaha! I, Tang Monk, am here, come and eat meat——"

The people of Zhuangzi fell down instantly. Where did this crazy monk come from?

Tang Shan was afraid that the fairy couldn't hear her, so she started playing the song on a loop through the speakers.

"It's time for the monsters to eat! Here's some fresh, hot Tang Monk meat..."
