Chapter 1676: Whether it is a demon or not
On this side, Sun Wukong and Marshal Tianpeng thought that Tang Sanzang had comprehended the Heavenly Eye of the Western Fomen and had seen through the White Bone Spirit's disguise.
Therefore, the stone that had been pressing on their hearts had completely dissipated.
Now, Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong, and their party were chatting and laughing all the way after beating the old woman transformed by the White Bone Spirit to death.
However, it was at this time that Sun Wukong saw a few thatched cottages appear ahead.
Sun Wukong looked at the thatched cottages ahead and, without a word, activated his Fiery Eyes of Truth to see if the people in the thatched cottages were demons in disguise.
However, in the end, Sun Wukong didn't see any clues, so he turned to Tang Sanzang and asked:
"Master, are the people in these thatched cottages demons?"
Tang Sanzang, hearing this, smiled lightly and said:
"Wukong, I don't know yet whether the people in these thatched cottages are demons; I am afraid we will only know after we have seen them."
"Wukong, but this time, when I tell you to act, do not hesitate again."
Sun Wukong, hearing his master Tang Sanzang's words, felt a bit awkward.
After all, earlier, Sun Wukong had doubted whether his master's judgment was correct.
Afterward, Tang Sanzang walked in the very front, Sun Wukong was half a step behind Tang Sanzang, and behind him were Marshal Tianpeng, General Juan Lian, and the others.
Just as Tang Sanzang arrived at the door of the thatched cottage, he saw the door of the thatched cottage being pushed open.
Then, an old man walked out of the thatched cottage, as if he were preparing to go out.
Tang Sanzang looked at the old man and tentatively said:
"Benefactor, this poor monk has come from the Great Tang of the East and is heading to the Western Heaven Lingshan; I am passing through your precious land and would like to borrow a place to stay for the night."
"But it looks like you are preparing to go out, Benefactor; I wonder where you are going?"
Hearing Tang Sanzang's question, the old man transformed by the White Bone Spirit didn't even think and said:
"Elder, I have lived here for generations, doing good deeds and offering food to monks, reading scriptures and chanting Buddha's name. I have no sons, only one daughter, and I took in a son-in-law."
"This morning, when I sent food to the fields, I think they encountered a tiger. My wife went to look for them first and hasn't returned either. I have no idea where they are, so I am going to look for them."
Tang Sanzang, hearing the words of the old man transformed by the White Bone Spirit, immediately determined that the person before him was a demon in disguise, so he said:
"So that's how it is!"
"Benefactor, it is a coincidence; I have seen both your daughter and your wife."
"If you are willing, Benefactor, I will have my disciples send you to reunite with your wife and children!"
Hearing this, the White Bone Spirit, who had already been fooled once, couldn't help but curse in her heart.
'You damned bald donkey, I have already made such sufficient preparations, how could I still be seen through by you at a glance!'
'Is it not your disciple Sun Wukong who possesses the Fiery Eyes of Truth, but you, Tang Sanzang?'
'Listening to what you mean, are you preparing to have your disciples send me on my way again!'
Although the White Bone Spirit complained in her heart, she didn't dare to reveal her identity as a demon in front of Sun Wukong and Marshal Tianpeng, the two Daluo Jinxian.
Therefore, she could only continue to accompany Tang Sanzang and act out this scene:
"What does the Elder mean by this?"
Tang Sanzang, seeing this, did not answer, but looked at his disciple Sun Wukong.
