Chapter 369 Zhu Family Courtyard

It's probably just a few chapters. After saving the fourth sister, we'll change the map.

...

It's been a while since Huang Mei's defeat in Xiao Xitian. Of course, they didn't really fight that day. After all, Gu Meng didn't show any malice, and he was a monster who was willing to talk nicely, in short, a good monster. After that, Tianmingren woke up and saw Gu Meng, he couldn't fight anymore.

After Tianmingren absorbed the root, it seemed that there were some changes and he became stronger.

Those roots are indeed extraordinary in nature. They should be the most special spiritual creatures that Gu Meng has seen in this world. Huang Mei used it to transform against the enemy and strengthen the human race bag. Although it was convenient, it should not have played the real mystery...

Next, Tianmingren still had to look for other roots. Gu Meng also heard about this matter. During this period, he also specially inquired about some news.

There are many versions of this gossip. Some little monsters have heard of it. The red-butted horse monkey seems to know a lot, but Gu Meng was afraid of Huang Mei before and didn't find a chance to ask him.

Maitreya must know, but he is not familiar with it. Little Prince Zhang also does not know much. Before he was released from prison, he mainly complained that he was careless and suffered from Huang Mei's disaster. He was unable to recover and also implicated his brothers. He did not know what the four generals' souls he collected from the man of destiny were for.

Gu Meng did not care about Little Prince Zhang. He summarized the various information he collected. What is clear is that after the Great Sage became a Buddha, he returned to Huaguo Mountain, and then the Heavenly Court went to hunt him down for some reason. It was also a matter of hundreds of years ago. Erlang Shen was the leader. In addition, there were the four heavenly kings, the giant spirit, and 100,000 heavenly soldiers. These are common extras.

In the end, the Great Sage died. Legend has it that he was killed by Erlang Shen. After his death, his six roots were immortal. It is said that they were scattered in the world and collected by various powerful demon kings.

Some versions say that several demon kings and the Heavenly Court worked together during the war, and Huang Mei was one of them.

Whether the demon king is involved or not, the heavenly soldiers and generals in heaven may know more clearly, as they are first-hand intelligence. The information about the small demons on the ground is still limited. They can only get a little bit of information from the small demons or demon kings in Huaguo Mountain, and the information will change as it is passed on.

After meeting again this time, Gu Meng learned that the man of destiny has collected three roots. Including Huang Mei's ten goldfish, there are already eyes, ears and noses. The first two roots were obtained from the Black Wind King and the Yellow Wind Great Sage. The two of them didn't know how to use the roots, and Huang Mei used them to refine evil things, which seemed to be a clever trick.

However, compared with the demon king's inability to use the roots, Gu Meng was more concerned about the fact that this monkey had defeated the demon king in succession...

I can't tell, it's really amazing. To be honest, the difference in Taoism between this monkey and the big demon king is quite obvious. Even if the man of destiny may have the help of a master on the road, he can repeatedly defeat such a powerful enemy who is much stronger than himself... Is this the exciting protagonist's cross-level battle?

It seems that this guy is really the legendary destined person who can collect all the roots and let the Great Sage return.

The rest of the roots should also be in the hands of other demon kings. The six roots are indestructible, so there are still three demon kings?

The old pig seems to have grasped some information. He said that he would take the destined person to the territory of other demon kings to find the next root.

Gu Meng later took over the power of Xiao Xitian on his own. He and the monk Bu Bu could definitely defeat those who did not obey. Maitreya did not say anything except asking Gu Meng where he learned his skills. Gu Meng did not know what he was thinking.

…

Lanxi Village, Zhu Family Courtyard.

Zhu Bajie confirmed the information that the spider spirits in Pansiling had clues about the roots.

Gu Meng thought, weren't the seven spider spirits in Journey to the West killed by Zhu Bajie? They didn't die?

After a little inquiry, it was rumored that there was a mother and six daughters in the Zhu Family Courtyard in Pansiling, or seven spider spirits. The first five daughters were beautiful, and the youngest daughter might not have grown up yet.

The spider silk they produce is of different types. The ordinary ones are fine silk in the human world, and they earn a lot of money. The slightly better ones are also famous in the demon world and can be used to make precious clothes. It is said that the best batch can only be used by big people, and the little demons have no chance to see them.

Wait a minute, oh, it's mother and daughter, not the seven in Journey to the West. Gu Meng seems to understand, but not quite understand... Forget it, anyway, the strength of the spider spirit should not be very strong, and it is not a big demon king, so don't worry about it.

So the centipede spirit is still behind the scenes, the one who took off the Taoist robe and had great magical powers but was restrained by the Pleiades star official? He recognized a bunch of junior sisters or nieces again?

Anyway, go and explore. Xiao Xitian has settled down, and Maitreya also stayed here. I don't know what he is doing. Gu Meng and him tested each other, and neither side told a single truth, which was boring.

Originally, he didn't want to get involved in these things so soon, and waited and watched, but now he found that he was so powerful that he was not worried anymore.

…

It was dark at this time, the surrounding scenery was good, the environment was suitable for monsters and spirits, and it was also a Feng Shui treasure land. Gu Meng was hiding his body and following the two little monsters.

The two of them were chatting, carrying a big box, and complaining that the box was too heavy.

The two little monsters were from Wushan Territory, and came to Pansiling to give gifts to the owner of this place. They happened to be bumped into by the three of them. Zhu Bajie found an opportunity to get in with Tianmingren. They were not big in size, so they fit in. Of course, Gu Meng could also become smaller and go in, but the scenery outside was good, so he stayed outside. Well, this time he could play with the real black monkey, and it was a big profit.

"Brother, it's a great fortune to give us such a good job." A little monster was happy when he saw that he finally arrived at the territory.

"Big fart, my bones are broken from carrying the burden all the way. Let's go quickly and don't miss the wine." The other little demon was already very tired and just urged.

"Hey, I smell that the witch has some weird habits. She has to take supplements during the eight festivals and four seasons, and she has to get married every time she takes supplements. Once, my wife came here to congratulate her, and she chose a precious mirror as a gift, called the 'bone mirror'. "

"Wait a minute - about the bone mirror, I remember my wife often talking about it, and it was a pity in her words."

"Listen to me, the old witch took a look in the mirror and lost consciousness. She turned around and threw the mirror away. The lady became sulky and stopped walking around in person."

Gu Meng listened with interest. Some of the little demons didn't speak. Some of the little demons politely called the king and madam in front of the big demon. Behind their backs, they called the big dog and the old witch... They really liked chatting about leadership gossip. .

Originally he just wanted to collect information, but these little monsters gossiped and chatted, and listened to all kinds of little stories. Inexplicably, he felt that this was also a great pleasure. He always felt that he would sort out the stories told by various little monsters and big monsters in the future. When you get up, you can also write a book "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", and you can also use illusion techniques to match patterns and make an atlas or a small animation or something.

After coming to Pansiling, Gu Meng inquired intentionally or unintentionally and heard about Wushan.

Because Pansiling has a weaving industry, it is well-known in the world of mortal monsters. Moreover, the second among the little spider spirits is a well-run business, with a large business and regular banquets. I heard the little monsters say that banquets From time to time, ladies from all over the fairy mountains come here to visit friends. I don’t know whether it is true or not, maybe they are bragging.

Wushan's wife used to be familiar with the old spider on Pansi Ridge, but because of a quarrel, she stopped coming in person.

The little demons also said that the spider spirits in Pansiling are all beautiful and beautiful, and their families have great businesses, so it's time for them to marry each other, but they all can't leave this place, and the outside business is handled by well-chosen people. Therefore, he only recruits door-to-door sons-in-law, but the talented people are not willing to come, and the spider spirits who come look down on him.

There are several scorpion spirits from the Poisonous Enemy Mountain in Pansiling. They may be somewhat related to the particularly powerful female scorpion spirit that can sting the Tathagata in Journey to the West. However, their family background is lonely and their skills are not good. Even if they have been There was no result in asking for help, I just kept waiting.

The little demons are all talking about the day when the spider spirit will get married in the sky, and whoever is unlucky will marry him... I guess it has never come to fruition, and it's impossible to be a licker.

Every time the scorpion spirits were mentioned, all the demons laughed together, and Gu Meng also laughed, very gregarious.

…

At this moment, the two little pig demons from Wushan were about to scold the old spider demon from Pansiling for being weird, and there was a sudden movement in the box.

"I kept mumbling and couldn't sleep well the whole way."

It's Zhu Bajie, he's causing trouble in the box.

Gu Meng still wants to hear the gossip again. What's going on? Doesn't this old pig like to hear it?

"Who is so brave, even daring to touch Wushan's congratulatory gift!"

The two pig monsters were frightened and angry, and just as they were about to kill the pig in the box, they were knocked to the ground by Gu Meng who was following them, and they fainted.

"Thank you."

Lao Zhu was polite. The main reason was that the magical power displayed by Gu Meng along the way was really brilliant. It was traceless and the root could not be seen. He thought to himself that he could not fight this lantern monster that appeared out of nowhere, and Gu Meng never had any ill intentions. , the words even suited his temperament, so his attitude became better.

However, Gu Meng could feel that Zhu Bajie was still wary of him. In fact, he should be. Gods and monsters have a way of changing, and sometimes they are more deceptive than people.

He must have thought that Gu Meng's true form was not that of a lantern demon, but some kind of demon body with great power to change. He might have good intentions when he came to coax them, but since he didn't know the origin, he naturally didn't dare to talk to them.

By the way, Zhu Bajie suddenly became reliable, which was really a bit unaccustomed to him.

He shouldn't be lazy while paddling. When something happens, he should immediately "divide the luggage. You go back to your Huaguo Mountain, he goes back to his Liusha River, and I go back to my Gaolaozhuang..." Is this the feeling?

Speaking of which, I also saw Zhu Bajie. Where did the other masters and disciples go? In Lingshan?

"Hey, where did this female Bodhisattva come from? Come down and talk, hey hey hey..."

I was about to say that Bajie was reliable, but in the blink of an eye he showed a side that fit the stereotype.

The old pig hummed and said hello to a female goblin not far away. She was so stupid.

The demon Gu Meng also sensed it in advance. Using the eyes of demonic fire made from the lantern itself, he saw that it was a spider. He should be one of the owners of this place. I don't know where he ranked.

The body of the banshee is indeed beautiful, and it matches the "fairy beauty" that the little demons call it. There are two lines of tears on her face, her makeup is also very colorful, and she has a heroic spirit.

Although Gu Meng has become a lantern monster now and has no worldly emotions, to be fair, he is good-looking.

The banshee snorted at Zhu Bajie, and she heard that she thought he was a funny character. Then she glanced at the monkey in the box, and then turned to look at Gu Meng who was holding several headlights.

She thought to herself, where did this monster come from? The method of gathering shapes and dispersing energy is really clever. When did it follow him? There was no trace at all before he appeared... I hope there is no conspiracy.

She didn't say anything after that and left directly, but Gu Meng could feel that she continued to observe not far away.

Gu Meng saw that she seemed to care about the Destiny Man... recalling the Black Monkey trailer he had seen before... He only cared about the combat part, but he should have seen this image, so she is an important NPC? Or is it a very important BOSS? Secretly watching the Destiny Man and preparing to eat him?

He wanted to capture her directly and ask her... it was too rough, so Gu Meng simply took out another body and hung it behind the banshee's butt to see what she wanted to do.

"Oh, let's go now. Why are you so shy? Hehe..."

Zhu Bajie was still joking, Destiny Man had jumped out of the box, and Gu Meng also walked up to the two of them.

"Zhu Bajie, you have become the messenger of cleansing the altar. Why don't you be more dignified?"

"Don't mention the messenger who cleans the altar and cleans the offerings on the altar. Isn't this the one who eats the leftovers? The old pig prefers that you call me Marshal Tianpeng."

"Pull him down, Marshal Tianpeng, how many years have you been demoted? The position in Tianpeng is probably replaced every time. You can only be regarded as the former Marshal."

"You little monster, you don't know how to adapt. Old pig, I was the commander-in-chief of Tianhe's 80,000-strong navy..."

"Okay, okay, lead the way. Didn't you say you are familiar with this place?"

Gu Meng and Zhu Bajie were chatting, and Tianming seemed to be listening with interest. Unfortunately, he was mute.

By the way, if it were just the two of them without Gu Meng, wouldn't it be that Zhu Bajie would be chattering all the time without even a quarrel?

"Okay, okay... I'll lead the way. Alas, this place is the same as before, it hasn't changed at all..."

"Don't believe it when people laugh at me for being a greedy old pig. I'm getting older, and I like some fragrant and colorful things. It's all because of eye addiction... Sigh, if you come during the day, the scenery of this village is not bad..."

The old pig was fine at first, but when he led the way into the village, he felt something was wrong.

Gu Meng thought to himself: "What's going on? Why is Lao Zhu in such a mood? I feel like he has returned to Gaolaozhuang. The Zhu Family Courtyard in this world is Gaolaozhuang?"

He watched Zhu Bajie complaining about the increase in bugs and demons here, leading the way to clean up, and talking about some old gossip:

"My master insisted on doing the fasting by himself. I persuaded him that I should go, but he refused to listen. Later, I heard from him that there was a girl playing balloons in the village. I guessed that he wanted to see it, so he clamored to come. , when he entered the village, all the balloon kickers were goblins. They were caught by him, tied up in a pattern, and hung up for fun..."

Many people in this world like to gossip. Zhu Bajie likes to talk about his master and senior brother the most. This is still a good relationship. He is just teasing dark history and has no malicious intent.

If the gods in heaven are like this, the Jade Emperor must have a lot of gossip, unless he has some special monitoring skills that can catch the gossipers.
