Chapter 2334: The Suffering of the People

Sure enough, at this moment, large groups of people had appeared on the Gobi Desert, all dragging luggage and bundles, stumbling as they headed into the distance.

Some small children couldn't walk and fell to the ground, crying.

"My Buddha is merciful, what kind of karma is this!"

Tang Seng saw this scene and said.

Fahai leaped and came before those people, saying, "Dear villagers, where are you heading?"

"Oh my, Master, this Flame Mountain wasn't a place for people to stay before, and now it's even worse."

"Anywhere we go is better than staying here."

"That's right, we can't stand these flames anymore; sooner or later we'll all be roasted."

Fahai looked at the people before him, numbering over a thousand. They were all dragging their families along, looking dark-skinned and very thin.

It wasn't hard to imagine that they had been struggling to survive under the Flame Mountain all these years.

Fahai frowned slightly and said, "The nearest place with a river is seven or eight hundred miles away. I'm afraid that if you go like this, most of you will starve to death on the way."

"Master, we have no other choice. It's like being roasted in a furnace here. If we stay for another three hours, I'm afraid we'll all be roasted into raisins."

An old woman stepped forward, looked up at Fahai, and said.

Fahai looked back at Sun Wukong, rolled his eyes a few times, and said, "How about this, dear villagers, are you willing to trust me?"

As soon as Fahai said this, all the people looked at him.

"What do you mean?"

"Could it be that he can extinguish the fire of the Flame Mountain?"

"Or can he pray for rain to extinguish this Flame Mountain?"

Fahai thought for a moment and said, "We will try our best to find a way to extinguish the fire of the Flame Mountain. Three miles from here, there is a small mountain. The temperature on the back of that mountain is relatively lower. You can take shelter there for a while. As long as the Flame Mountain is extinguished, you can come back."

"Should we trust him?"

"It's not like it hasn't rained on the Flame Mountain before, but even if it rains, it can't be extinguished. I've seen it."

"Where on earth did this monk come from?"

At this moment, Tang Seng also rode the White Dragon Horse to Fahai's side. He first performed a Buddhist salute and said, "This poor monk comes from the Great Tang in the East. This Master Fahai, as well as my disciples, are all people proficient in magic. We will definitely find a way to extinguish the fire of the Flame Mountain."

"If you villagers insist on migrating far away, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties. It would be better to trust this poor monk's words for now and wait behind that small mountain for three hours. If we cannot extinguish the fire, you may dispose of us as you please."

Tang Seng looked at the crowd with a determined gaze and said.

"He says he's a monk from the Tang Dynasty. Can he really extinguish the fire of the Flame Mountain?"

"The Tang Dynasty is the most prosperous country on this Shenzhou land."

"They look so certain; can they really do it?"

"I think that monk with thick eyebrows just now flew over; he really has supernatural powers. Should we trust them for once?"

"It's only a matter of waiting three more hours, and we don't have a better choice. If we migrate far away, if we're lucky, half of us will die; if we're unlucky, I'm afraid we'll all starve to death on the road. I don't want to die."

The crowd discussed among themselves.

At this moment, a young man walked out of the crowd and said to Tang Seng, "Great Tang monk, our lives are in your hands!" ===== CHAPTER 2336 =====
