In the end, the Great Sage broke the rules.

The master and his disciples walked down the street, and because they were all disguised, no one paid them any attention.

As night fell, the master and his disciples searched for an inn to find a place to rest for the night.

Along the way, they encountered a group of soldiers who were relentlessly chasing and attacking a bald man.

Despite the bald man's fervent denial that he was not a monk but had lost his hair due to illness, the soldiers refused to give up and eventually forcibly abducted him.

Even if this person is not a real monk, he must be made into one. After all, the king will reward a lot of silver for capturing a monk, so how could the soldiers miss such a good opportunity?

Jiang Liuer looked at the bald man who was vomiting blood and felt a pang of pity.

Just as Jiang Liuer was about to call out to save him, Chen Yi saw him open his mouth and quickly covered his mouth, gently shaking his head at him.

Chen Yi held Jiang Liuer tightly and walked quickly forward: "Brother Jiang, there's an inn ahead, hurry, let's go take a look."

Upon arriving at the inn, Sha Wujing stepped forward and knocked on the door.

A short while later, the shop owner appeared in response; she was a middle-aged woman.

The shop owner scrutinized the five people with a suspicious look, muttering to herself that these people were quite strange, especially the two who were covered up tightly, their eyes darting around, and they didn't even dare to meet her gaze.

After careful consideration, the shopkeeper finally decided to take them in, since the others didn't look like monks either.

Fearing that he would reveal his weakness, Sun Wukong blew out the candles as soon as he entered the room.

The female shopkeeper asked in confusion, "How should we address you?"

Jiang Liuer was about to speak when Chen Yi quickly covered his mouth, only letting out a muffled groan: "You... um..."

After successfully silencing Jiang Liuer, Chen Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had the foresight to know that Jiang Liuer's first words would be "this humble monk."

This habit becomes second nature and is difficult to change in a short period of time.

Sun Wukong quickly explained, "He meant his name is Jiang Dapin."

After saying that, he pointed to the other people and introduced them to the shop owner: "That's Pig Second Poor, and that's Sand Third Poor."

"The one who's good-looking is Sun Yi, and I'm Sun Er."

The female shopkeeper nodded slightly, pointed at Jiang Liuer and Sha Wujing, and continued to ask, "The weather isn't cold, so why are you two wrapped up so tightly?"

Sun Wukong replied, "We've developed rashes all over our bodies on this journey, and they're so itchy! These rashes can't be exposed to the wind, which is why we're all covered up so tightly!"

These words struck her like a thunderbolt, startling the female shopkeeper so much that she turned pale and took a few steps back.

After calming herself down a bit, the female shopkeeper forced a smile and asked, "What would you like to eat?"

Jiang Liuer said softly, "A vegetarian diet is fine."

Upon hearing this, the female shopkeeper's face turned deathly pale, and she exclaimed, "You...you are monks, aren't you?"

Seeing this, Chen Yi quickly waved his hand and explained, "No, no, no, we are not monks! We are definitely not monks!"

As he spoke, he quickly removed his headscarf, revealing a head of short, glossy black hair, and added, "Look, I have hair."

"We're just sick and don't have the appetite for greasy food. We just want some light and refreshing vegetarian dishes."

At this moment, although the room was dimly lit, the female shopkeeper could still clearly see Chen Yi's thick black hair by the faint light coming from the corridor, and the weight that had been hanging over her heart finally lifted.

She secretly rejoiced, thank goodness, it turned out he wasn't a monk.

You should know that harboring a monk is a capital offense!

The female shopkeeper didn't dare to ask any more questions and hurriedly turned around to prepare food for them.
