When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Wukong saw a young man sitting there, looking depressed, with a dogtail grass in his mouth.
Wukong stepped forward and grabbed the boy, asking, "Little boy, may I ask what place this is?"
The young man looked unhappy and gloomy. He was even more unhappy when Wukong grabbed him. He tilted his head and snorted coldly, "Don't bother me."
As he spoke, he struggled to break free from the clamp. However, he was surprised to find that this strange creature with a monkey face and a hairy mouth, although seemingly short and thin, was surprisingly strong.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.
After trying for a while, Wukong just watched him struggle in vain with a smile.
The young man lost his temper and said honestly:
"This is the border of U-Tsang, the place is called Gao Lao Zhuang."
Wukong then asked, "Where are you going? Be careful not to get eaten by monsters outside with your backpack and umbrella in the middle of the night."
Originally he was just joking, because there were no monsters out there, only man-eating beasts.
Unexpectedly, these words touched the young man's heart, and he complained to Wukong:
"There is a monster in Gao Village! It has been here for three years and has caused great suffering to my sister."
Although Chu Qi had the original novel in hand, she didn't care much about anything other than the parts about torturing Wukong. But now that she had the chance to listen to the gossip on the spot, she became interested.
She got off the horse, clasped her hands together, chanted a Buddhist name, and said with compassion:
"My disciple is good at catching monsters. Why don't you tell me in detail and see if I can help you."
Wukong echoed, "Just keep talking, I will definitely help if I can."
The young man was skeptical, but he had been annoyed for three years and was fed up with it, so he simply said:
"Then I'll explain in detail."
The young man said his name was Gao Cai and that he was a relative of Mr. Gao.
The grandfather had a daughter in her twenties. Three years ago, the Gao family recruited a son-in-law, but he drank too much on the wedding day and revealed his identity as a demon, a ferocious, fat, big-eared pig demon.
Mr. Gao wanted to cancel the engagement, but the pig demon refused. He even locked Miss Gao in the backyard for almost half a year and refused to let her out to meet the Gao family.
Gao Taigong invited monks and Taoists to exorcise the demon many times, but they were all fake. Not only could they not exorcise the demon, they themselves were eaten by the demon.
Mr. Gao was feeling upset and had just scolded Gao Cai, asking him to go and get another good wizard.
Although Gao Cai is a relative of Grandpa Gao, his family is only a branch of the Gao family. He came to Grandpa Gao for help after his parents died.
When you live under someone's roof, you naturally have to act like a punching bag.
But it is not so easy to invite a good wizard, anyway, I have never seen one of Gao Cai.
There was no other way; he would be scolded if he went back, so he had to carry his bag and sit at the entrance of the village to kill time, waiting to sneak back home for a nap after dark.
Chu Qi satisfied her gossipy heart and tugged slightly at Monkey's skirt, signaling him to speak.
Wukong was somewhat speechless, and replied in a supporting role:
"I see. It's your good fortune to meet us. Go back and tell your master that we are the holy monks sent by the Eastern Kingdom to go to the Western Paradise to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. We are good at binding monsters. When the time comes, ask the master to invite my master in to stay overnight."
Chu Qi patted Wukong's head approvingly. The key point was to stay overnight and have a meal. He had already grasped the essence of it.
"No need to go back and tell them. I can ask you to go back now."
Gao Cai waved his hand and took the initiative to lead the way.
After returning to Gao's house, Gao Cai asked the master and disciple to wait at the door for a moment while he went in to report.
When he entered the house, he ran into Taigong, who scolded him.
Gao Cai accepted the scolding obediently and then told what had just happened.
Taigong thought to himself: The monk who came from afar can chant sutras.
I quickly changed my clothes and went out to greet him.
Chu Qi returned the greeting, and Wukong stood still.
Seeing that Wukong had a ferocious appearance, Taigong did not dare to bow to him.
Wukong felt that he was looking down on him, and couldn't help but argue, "Why do you only bow to my master, but don't dare to look at me? Huh? Do you judge people by their appearance?"
Taigong took a trembling look, turned his head away in fear, and called out tremblingly: "Please come in."
Wukong went in, and without caring about good or bad, he tied his horse to the pillar of the open hall, pulled over two chairs, asked his master to sit on one, and jumped up on the other, sitting directly on the back of the chair, with his feet on the chair, feeling leisurely and comfortable.
What Gao Cai said was not comprehensive enough, so Wukong asked Gao Taigong to tell the whole story.
It was getting dark, and Master Gao guessed that the master and his disciple might not have had their meal yet.
There was no rush to catch the monster, so he ordered his servants to prepare a vegetarian meal and invited the master and his disciple to eat.
After the vegetarian meal, Mr. Gao asked with a smile: "Master, do you need manpower and weapons? That monster is really powerful, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with..."
"Oh, no need. You just need to provide my horse with some good food, and give my master some fruits and snacks to entertain him." Wukong said.
Next to him, Chu Qi, who was chatting with Gao Cai after having a full meal, showed a hint of satisfaction in his eyes when he heard this.
Only Wukong understands her!
He is indeed her good disciple.
It is understandable that Gao Taigong prepared fruits and snacks for the holy monk to relieve his boredom.
but--
What does it mean to prepare good food for the horse?
Don't horses eat grass? -- He even specifically instructed his servants to prepare the best grass for them.
The Gao family’s superior horses all eat that kind of food.
Gao Taigong couldn't understand and was slightly shocked: So the horses of your younger brother, the holy monk, eat different food than ordinary horses?
However, the servants, after receiving Gao Taigong's instructions, set up another stove to cook two dishes and a soup, and scooped a large basin of white rice to feed the horses.
The groom in charge of looking after the horses said, "What should we do if the holy monk's horses don't eat our fodder? -- Hmm, it smells so good, who should we treat with this meal?"
