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

"Swish—"

Tang Shan held her breath and closed her eyes, feeling a warm, frosted texture on her arms.

She tightly gripped the purse with her fingers, but she didn't expect that the soil deep underground was warm.

Tang Shan didn't know how long she had been in the suffocating darkness. When she felt that she was about to suffocate if she didn't breathe deeply, she felt a dazzling light on her eyelids.

Hot air brushed past the tip of his ear, and the mouse spirit said softly, "My dear brother, please open your eyes."

Hearing this, Tang Shan tentatively opened her eyes, curious about what the mouse hole looked like.

"Wow--"

She opened her mouth slightly and her eyes lit up.

It is clearly dozens of meters underground, but when you look up it looks as bright as day. I wonder how high the cave is.

There are streams, pavilions, flowers, plants, birds and animals. If you don’t know, you would think you are in a paradise.

Tang Shan couldn't help but sigh. Mice can dig holes, but she never thought the holes they dug were so good.

If Jerry lived here, Tom would be jealous to death.

The rat spirit looked at Tang Shan with a smile, and keenly caught the excitement and shock that flashed in her eyes.

I think my brother likes this.

Tang Shan blurted out: "This is your nest?"

The scenery of Xiankong Mountain is completely different from its name.

"Ah?" The rat demon didn't react for a moment.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Tang Shan quickly made amends, "What I meant was, your house is really beautiful."

"Oh~" The Mouse Demon smiled happily and called to his servants, "Go, tell them to prepare some vegetarian food for our distinguished guest."

The two of them sat on the stone benches in the pavilion, feeling the breeze. They thought the underground caves must be connected in all directions.

"My dear brother," the Mouse Spirit brought over a cup of tea and asked, "Are you satisfied with me?"

"Hehe," Tang Shan took the teacup, "Satisfied..."

She reached into her pocket and took out a packet of rat poison. She would not resort to poisoning unless it was absolutely necessary.

"My dear brother, I want to...I want to marry you and live here together. Is that okay?"

The mouse spirit lowered her head shyly, raised her eyebrows slightly, and secretly looked at her reaction.

Tang Shan put down the teacup, fearing that there might be drugs like Hehuan Powder in it, so she didn't dare to drink a single sip.

"Donor, you know that I am a monk going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, right?"

Besides, the Queen of the Kingdom of Women is so beautiful, and she didn’t agree to marry her to a whole country.

Now, how could a mere mouse possibly possess such a wealthy woman?

The Mouse Demon smiled sweetly, "Of course I know. I'm looking for the great Tang Dynasty monk who is going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures."

"He has good taste." Tang Shan nodded, "But there's a huge gap between our social statuses. I'm afraid we're not a good match."

The Mouse Demon thought there was a good chance when he heard this, "Where are my brother's parents? If I could meet them, I would definitely satisfy them."

Tang Shan's eyes flashed with cunning, "If I marry you, can I still go to seek the scriptures?"

"Of course not."

"Then how do I explain this to my immediate superior, Tathagata?"

In fact, Tang Shan was only worried about the completion of the mission, and Tathagata could just be a shield.

The rat demon was originally driven out of Lingshan because he was caught and ate fragrant flowers and precious candles.

I managed to save my life with great difficulty, but if I get involved with people or things in Lingshan again, I'm afraid I won't be so lucky.

The rat spirit's burning love brain finally calmed down a bit when he heard Tathagata. This was indeed a big problem.

On the other side, several disciples gathered around the hole in the ground, lost in thought.

Bajie stuck his butt high, supported himself on the ground with his hands, and put his whole head into the hole to check.

"Hey! This goblin is pretty good at digging holes."

The soil around the tunnel was packed tightly and not loose at all. Everywhere you looked, it was pitch black, and the voices seemed to fall into a bottomless pit.

"Second Brother!" Bajie's arm was suddenly pushed by someone, and there seemed to be a foot exerting force behind his butt.

Wukong's low-pressure voice came: "Idiot, you go in first."

Otherwise, once they all went in, Bajie's butt would be stuck outside and there would be no one to help him.

It was originally a pleasant thing to do, but when it fell into Bajie's ears, it became a difficult task that he wanted to avoid.

"How about I stay and look after the luggage?"
