Chapter 1333

~3 min read 578 words

As it grew late, Sun Wukong began to search for a place to stay through his spiritual sense.

Although Huangfeng Ridge was sparsely populated, under the coverage of Sun Wukong's Daluo Jinxian spiritual sense, he still found a household.

"Master, there is a household not far ahead. Do we need to go and borrow a place to stay?"

Being able to borrow a place to stay, Tang Sanzang was naturally unwilling to sleep in the wilderness.

Therefore, he did not think much and nodded in agreement with Sun Wukong's proposal.

Thus, Sun Wukong led the way, pulling the White Dragon Horse, toward the household in Huangfeng Ridge.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Hearing the knocking, the owner of the house was also very panicked.

As a resident of Huangfeng Ridge, he was very clear that there were monsters in Huangfeng Ridge.

Now, hearing the knocking, he worried that the monsters of Huangfeng Ridge had come to his door.

So he picked up a hunting knife and shouted in a low voice:

"Who is outside? Why have you come to my home?"

Tang Sanzang naturally heard the terrified tone in the owner's words.

Therefore, he stepped past Sun Wukong and came to the door of the house to reply:

"Amitabha, this poor monk is a monk from the Great Tang of the East, heading to Western Lingshan. Passing through this precious land, I hope the benefactor can let us stay for the night."

Hearing Tang Sanzang's voice, the owner felt much more at ease.

However, he still did not put down the hunting knife in his hand.

After all, in this Huangfeng Ridge, if one did not have a bit of vigilance, they would have been devoured alive by monsters long ago.

As soon as he opened the door, the owner saw Tang Sanzang's appearance, and the last trace of doubt in his heart vanished.

"Gao Seng, please come in!"

Tang Sanzang brought Sun Wukong, Marshal Tianpeng, and the others directly into the house.

Fortunately, this house was large enough that even with the four of them entering, it did not seem crowded.

"Gao Seng, Huangfeng Ridge is not peaceful. I advise you to change your route to the Western Heaven tomorrow!"

The owner reminded Tang Sanzang.

"This poor monk naturally knows. My two disciples have extraordinary strength, so I am not worried!"

Tang Sanzang stated the source of his confidence in daring to cross Huangfeng Ridge.

"So that's how it is. I was overthinking it."

"Gao Seng, rest early!"

The owner did not think much, assuming Tang Sanzang and his group were just bold because of their skills.

"Benefactor, since you also know that there are man-eating monsters in Huangfeng Ridge, why do you dare to live alone in Huangfeng Ridge?"

Tang Sanzang was very confused about this point.

Therefore, he asked directly.

"Alas, Gao Seng, the reason is very simple."

"The country I lived in has been at war for years, and most of the men were conscripted and dragged to the battlefield."

"But of those who could return alive, not one in a hundred survived."

"Although I do not fear death, I am naturally unwilling to die in vain like that."

"So I fled to this Huangfeng Ridge."

"Precisely because there are monsters in Huangfeng Ridge, the country does not dare to send anyone to capture people."

Hearing the reason given by the owner, Tang Sanzang felt a wave of emotion:

"Truly, harsh governance is fiercer than monsters!"
