Chapter 71: The Bloodbathed Town
I walked westward and soon left the border of Us Tibet. The cold winter had passed and the weather gradually became warmer. Along the way, the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming, the ice and snow melted, and the road was much easier.
After getting familiar with the pot strengthened by Zhu Tianpeng's formation, Tang Sanzang made a lot of delicious food in a variety of ways, but it didn't make Ao Xiaobai very happy.
Zhu Tianpeng also ate three meals a day with Tang Sanzang and Ao Xiaobai. Sun Wukong still uses various fruits as the main food. Fortunately, she can somersault clouds, otherwise Tang Sanzang would think she would be hungry sooner or later.
At noon that day, four masters and apprentices who had been walking in the deep mountains and forests for several days saw a small town located between two mountains, and their eyes lit up.
"Master, you see there is a small town there. Let's hurry up and prepare all the seasonings. The roasted chicken wings are not peppered, and the taste is much worse." Ao Xiaobai, who was sitting on the horse's back, pointed to the town and said.
"Xiaobai is becoming more and more picky in food." Tang Sanzang looked at the town, but his eyes narrowed slightly.
"There is a demonic spirit." Sun Wukong pushed his sunglasses upwards, and his dark red eyes gradually turned into fiery red, and he pondered.
"There is no evil spirit, I think it's normal." Zhu Tianpeng took a step and looked at it with disbelief.
The town several miles away looked quite quiet, with smoke rising up, and there was nothing unusual about it.
"Pig Head, with your eyesight, the monsters can't be distinguished in front of you." Sun Wukong curled his lips and said in contempt.
Zhu Tianpeng's red hair stood up immediately, like an angry red-haired lion, pointing at Sun Wukong and jumping: "Die monkey, don't call me a pig's head! I haven't really committed a pig's fetus! Believe it or not, I set up a formation to keep you for five hundred years."
"Tsk, you couldn't even use the Tianlu Net five hundred years ago. Now what are you using to keep me in touch?" Sun Wukong looked disdainful.
"I, I..." She was so angry that she took out the Qiankun bag and searched for it. However, in order to escape from the numerous encirclements, she had almost ruined her magic weapon, and she really couldn't come up with any formation.
Tang Sanzang and Ao Xiaobai have become accustomed to the noise between Zhu Tianpeng and Sun Wukong. Both of them kept silent about what happened after Sun Wukong was drunk five hundred years ago, but judging from Sun Wukong's attitude towards Zhu Tianpeng, something indescribable happened.
So after catching Zhu Tianpeng's annoyance to be called a pig, Sun Wukong put the nickname Pig Head on Zhu Tianpeng, and she would be so angry that she could jump. If she hadn't been able to beat Sun Wukong, she would have taken action directly.
Tang Sanzang was also a little helpless about this, and it was difficult to ask what happened, so he could only act as a peacemaker.
Tang Sanzang stared at the direction of the town for a while, and said with a serious expression: "The resentment... is very strong, it should be that many people have just died."
"I'll go and have a look first." Sun Wukong looked at Zhu Tianpeng with some smugness and flew towards the town with somersault clouds.
"Let's go too." Tang Sanzang said softly, leading his horse toward the town.
It is not uncommon for monsters to hurt people along the way. After all, for monsters, people and food are equal, and because of their group living, it is easier to hunt than ordinary animals.
A quarter of an hour later, Tang Sanzang, Zhu Tianpeng and Ao Xiaobai stood outside the town, and their faces changed slightly.
There were broken walls everywhere, incomplete corpses lying on the street, blood flowing all over the ground, and the fire that had not been burned was filled with blue smoke, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and burnt smell, which was disgusting. Wherever you see, there were dead tragic corpses, and even a few months old baby could not escape the claws.
"Master." Ao Xiaobai, who came down from the horse's back, grabbed Tang Sanzang's hand and showed a look of fear.
"This monster actually killed even women, damn it!" Zhu Tianpeng said a little annoyed.
"Go in and have a look first." Tang Sanzang led Ao Xiaobai toward the town with a serious expression. You can imagine how tragic it was when the monster washed the town bloodily.
A dead town was only the crackling sounds of the fire. Half of the houses in the town collapsed, and deep ravines remained on the collapsed earth walls, as if they were smashed by huge claws. There was a ravine dozens of feet long and tens of feet deep on the street in the center of the town, as if it had torn the earth directly, which was shocking.
"What kind of monster is this?" Tang Sanzang looked at the ravine with a look of confusion. If a casual blow could leave such traces, the strength of this monster would probably be the most powerful monster he has ever seen.
"Master, there is still someone else." At this time, Sun Wukong walked out of the alley beside him and waved at them.
Tang Sanzang hurriedly walked over. Under a collapsed earth wall, an old man in his sixties, with gray hair leaning against the wall, his forehead was covered with blood red. He could only vent his breath but not intake. He was still trying hard to open his eyes and look at Tang Sanzang and the others.
"Old man, what kind of monster did it?" Tang Sanzang took out the water spirit ball and handed it to Ao Xiaobai, and squatted down and looked at the old man and asked.
"Old...Old...Tiger..." The old man slowly raised his hand and wanted to grab Tang Sanzang's hand. Before he could finish his words, his head tilted and his breath disappeared, and his hand fell down all of a sudden.
"It's too late." Zhu Tianpeng raised his hand to stop Ao Xiaobai, who was still trying to cast spells, and shook his head.
"Tiger Demon?" Tang Sanzang slowly stood up and said softly. All the dead had a big hole in their chests and their hearts disappeared. The black tiger was heartbroken?
If he had done nothing wrong, they should have arrived at Huangfengling. Huangfeng monster had a tiger vanguard under him, so he had some impression. After all, the song: "The king asked me to patrol the mountains, I will turn around the world..." He would hum a few more words. Could it be that this town was washed away by the tiger vanguard?
"There is no one who survives." Sun Wukong jumped off the roof and shook his head at Tang Sanzang.
"I want to bury these people." Tang Sanzang said softly at his three apprentices, with a little bored chest, but he couldn't save these innocent people. If he could meet that tiger demon, he would be willing to kill the tiger demon for them to avenge them.
Half an hour later, in front of the largest wooden house in the town, Tang Sanzang threw the torch in his hand on the wood splashed with lamp oil. He watched the house covered with wood surrounded by raging fire, and put his hands together and recited a "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra" to save the dead souls and rebirth.
"Let's go." Tang Sanzang opened his eyes, glanced at the burning wooden house, and turned around and walked out of the town.
The three apprentices followed him, and no one spoke for a while.
It was not until he walked more than ten miles that Sun Wukong looked at Tang Sanzang and asked, "Master, won't we catch that tiger demon?"
"Yes, Master, didn't you say that innocent people should not die? This tiger demon may even attack innocent people, right?" Ao Xiaobai also said softly.
"Yes, you can't let those innocent girls die at the hands of the tiger demon. This is an unacceptable loss for me!" Zhu Tianpeng said with an indignant look, as if he regarded all the girls in the world as a choice in the harem.
"Of course we have to catch the tiger demon, but we have no idea now, so it is not a solution to find it randomly." Tang Sanzang looked at the continuous mountains not far away. It was not easy to find a tiger demon here.
