Another spring and summer, Ye Chen, Tang Seng, and his disciples braved hardships and dangers, climbed one mountain after another, crossed one river after another, and walked through patches of grassland. They lived and slept day and night.
Finally, before sunset one day, they happened to arrive at Tuoluo Village. They had been traveling for several days, and everyone was very tired, so Tang Seng proposed to find a place to rest here, ask for some fast food and find a place to stay.
So Tang Seng went to knock on the door of a family, only to see an old man opened the door, Tang Seng explained to him the purpose of coming, the old man saw that he was a monk, sighed, his eyes were obscure.
Tang Seng didn't know why, so he hurriedly asked the old man why he sighed.
The old man said: "Just you, a monk, don't even talk about going to the west, even this Qijue Mountain in front of you, you can't get through."
Tang Seng was puzzled and asked, "I don't know why you said that?"
The old man said again: "You don't know that Qijue Mountain, which stretches for 800 miles, is made of persimmon mud. As long as people enter, they will be swallowed. It is a place that eats people. If you can't get through, you should go back soon .¡±
Tang Seng was a little worried when he heard this, and Sun Wukong couldn't help but jumped out and questioned the old man: "It's really impossible for you to let us believe you based on your one-sided words."
"And what is the Qijue Mountain? After we have been there, we will naturally have a conclusion. There is no need for you to come here to mislead us."
Only then did the old man realize that Tang Seng was followed by three big men and a handsome son. Seeing the faces of Sun Wukong and the other three, the old man was frightened, backed away again and again, and hurriedly wanted to close the door.
Tang Seng glared at Monkey King, and Monkey King quickly apologized, blocked the old man's hand closing the door, and said to the old man, "I was so rude just now, please forgive me."
"We came from the Great Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Land, and went to the Western Paradise to learn scriptures. Although we and our brothers and sisters are a little ugly, we have the ability to subjugate demons."
When the old man heard that they were able to cast down demons, he was very happy. His face turned into a flower with a smile. He quickly let Tang Seng and the others in, and then ordered his son and daughter-in-law to cook a table of delicious dishes to entertain them.
Sun Wukong thought how the old man could be so fickle, and he treated them like two people, so he knew that the old man must have something to ask for.
Bajie was impatient, and he didn't go around the bush, and asked the old man directly if he had anything to ask for.
The old man said: "I really need your help with something."
It turns out that to the west of Tuola Mountain, there is a Qijue Mountain. On this mountain, there are many persimmon trees, which can bear a lot of persimmons every year.
However, too many persimmons have also become a disadvantage, because people here cannot eat persimmons every day.
So, for many years, no one picks the persimmons, and the ripe persimmons will fall to the ground, and then gradually become rotten. And no one cleaned up the rotten persimmons, and the rotten persimmons turned Qijue Mountain into a river of mud.
Whenever there is a westerly wind blowing, the strange smell from the rotten persimmons will float into the Zhuangzi.
?One summer, the people in the village were harvesting grain in the fields. Suddenly, there was a strong wind, yellow sand filled the sky, and the sky was dark, and people's eyes were blurred in an instant.
Everyone thought that the weather was bad and it was going to rain, so they hurriedly packed up their things and prepared to go home. (Remember this website URL: www.hlnovel.com
