Not long after, Xiaoshan came back with a large bag of things. When passing by Qin Yao, he gently placed a bag of vegetables on the ground and asked softly: "Um...how do you make radish soup?"
< br>Qin Yao smiled and said: "Peel the white radish, cut into thin strips and set aside; heat the oil in the pot, add onion, ginger and garlic Saute until fragrant; add shredded radish and continue to stir-fry over high heat until cooked..."
"Speak slower, speak slower" Xiao Shan said quickly: "It's too fast for me to remember."
Qin Yao looked very patient and repeated the method at a slower speed.
"What about other things? What staple food should I eat?" Xiaoshan asked again after a while.
"Just watch and prepare for the rest." Qin Yao responded casually.
"Okay." Xiao Shan also had a good temper, so he responded crisply and walked to the kitchen carrying the bag of vegetables.
“No, what if she is poisoned?” When she disappeared from sight, Zhu Bajie approached Qin Yao and asked in a low voice.
Qin Yao looked at him with a strange look and asked: "It's just a group of us... Do you think you can kill him with poison?"
Just kidding.
If the Westbound team could be eliminated with poison, Tang Monk and his disciples would not be able to reach the Great Leiyin Temple.
Zhu Bajie: "..."
Half a quarter of an hour later.
Xiao Shan cooked a large table of dishes, and everyone sat around in the pavilion in the courtyard and ate happily.
"I haven't eaten such delicious food in many years." Beside Xiaoshan, Zhu Bajie ate enthusiastically, with tears in his eyes.
Xiaoshan: "..."
Although it may be really delicious, is your performance too exaggerated?
That’s right.
The Imperial Master said that this guy seems to be a sick pig...
That’s not surprising.
"Xiaoshan, can you cook it for me every day from now on?" Zhu Bajie said sincerely.
Xiaoshan chuckled, with an innocent face: "I can cook it for you every day."
"Thank you, Xiaoshan." Zhu Bajie smiled all over his face.
"Eat, eat quickly, eat more." Sun Wukong couldn't bear his greasy attitude, so he picked up a steamed bun and forced it into his mouth.
The world suddenly became a lot cleaner...
After breakfast, Xuanzang formally said goodbye to the managers of the imperial village, asked them to help inform the imperial advisor and the king about their departure, and then set out on his westward journey.
Horse hooves formed in formation, wheels left traces, and people traveling westward walked through mountains and rivers, stepped on grasslands, and crossed lakes. Day after day, they continued to move westward.
Along the way, Xiaoshan liked to lean towards Xuanzang whenever he had something to do, and he constantly took the initiative to talk to Xuanzang, trying to bring the relationship closer between the two.
Unexpectedly, Xuanzang acted like a piece of wood, and Xiaoshan vaguely noticed that there might be someone living in his heart.
At the same time, Zhu Bajie is also trying to get closer to Xiaoshan. He is obviously a pig, but he shows the characteristics of licking a dog.
At this time, he no longer talked about killing all the women in the world who admired beautiful men. It was as if the trauma caused by his ex-wife had been healed by this beautiful woman from heaven.
It’s just that Xiaoshan’s heart is attached to Xuanzang, and he always treats him perfunctorily.
Half a month later.
Everyone came to a small town full of red maple leaves. When Xiaoshan was looking at the beautiful scenery of the town, Xuanzang, who was holding the white horse, suddenly said: "Isn't this far away from the Bhikkhu Kingdom?"
Xiao Shan suddenly came back to his senses, nodded and said: "Yes, we have already left the bhikkhu country."
"Then let's separate here." Xuanzang said.
"Ah?" Xiaoshan was dumbfounded, with a face full of fear: "Did I do something wrong? I will change it, I will change it."
"It's not that you did something wrong, nor It’s not that you didn’t do well.” Xuanzang explained: “It’s just that there shouldn’t be any female dependents in our team.”
If he could bring in female dependents, why would he let go of Miss Duan in the first place?
Xiaoshan knelt down in front of him with a pop and kowtowed repeatedly: "You don't have to treat me as a woman. If I am helpless, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to survive."
"Why?" Qin Yao suddenly said.
Xiaoshan: "The king of the Bhikkhu Kingdom said..."
"You just said that this is no longer the Bhikkhu Kingdom." Qin Yao said calmly.
Xiao Shan: "I am a weak woman, penniless..."
Qin Yao took out three gold bricks from his arms and handed them to the other party: "These three gold bricks, Is it enough? ”
Xiaoshan waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't have the strength to own these three pieces of gold. Once the money is exposed, I may be killed."
Qin Yao then took out another bag of broken silver and said with a smile: "Where is the silver? "
Xiaoshan: "..."
After a while, she could only kowtow to Xuanzang: "Master, please, I beg you, don't leave me behind. I have already been left behind once, and I don't want to be left behind a second time. "
Looking at the panicked girl, Xuanzang sighed slightly.
At this moment, he already believed in the empty prediction.
How can a person who is willing to risk his life for the sake of freedom abandon freedom and confine himself to a team?
It is paradoxical, not to mention that emptiness is even proposed for achieving wealth freedom.
So, this girl was really sent by the Imperial Master to drive a wedge between them.
"Xiaoshan, you do not belong to our team, so we are not abandoning you, do you understand?" Xuanzang took a long breath and said solemnly: "You were born for freedom, so you should go Pursue your freedom ”
Xiaoshan was silent for a moment, kowtowed and said, "My little girl has one more request, and I hope the Master can grant it."
"What request?" Xuanzang asked.
"Please, please send me home." Xiao Shan prayed.
Xuan Zang subconsciously raised his head and looked into the void. Seeing the other person nodding slightly towards him, he asked Xiaoshan: "Get up, where is your home?"
"My home is in Xiaohe Village. .”
Xiaoshan stood up slowly, with a red mark on the top of his forehead, which made his whole temperament look pitiful to me.
“Bhikkhu country?” Sun Wukong asked.
“No.” Xiaoshan pointed in one direction and said, “A few hundred miles to the southwest from here, it should be my hometown.”
“A few hundred miles specifically?” Sun Wukong asked. .
Xiaoshan smiled bitterly: "I don't know the exact number of miles, I can only take a walk and see. After all, when I came here, there was nothing to measure the distance." Qin Yao said: "A good man will do it to the end. , send the Buddha to the west, let’s walk southwest, anyway, we are heading west.”
Xuan Zang looked at him and roughly guessed what he was thinking, and nodded slightly: "That's fine."
If nothing else, this small river village should be in such a difficult situation The end of.
All the guesses will be revealed here...
Subsequently, under the leadership of Xiaoshan, the westbound team gradually deviated from the direction and headed to the southwest.
I don't know whether she felt the despair from Xuanzang, or Xiaoshan suddenly figured it out after kneeling there. On the way to the southwest, she no longer bothered Xuanzang, but gradually accepted Zhu Bajie's kindness. The happy old pig couldn't help but be happy every day.
Seven days flew by, and the relationship between Xiao Shan and Lao Zhu continued to heat up. Finally, on a moonlit night, the two... to be precise, the two demons had their first date.
"Sister Xiaoshan." After quietly leaving the team, Zhu Bajie immediately rushed towards the innocent girl impatiently.
Xiaoshan resisted his nausea and allowed the other party to take him into his arms, and said: "Brother Zhu."
Zhu Bajie chuckled, lowered his head and was about to reach towards the other party, but unexpectedly Xiao Shan suddenly stretched out his hand to hold his chin and said solemnly: "Brother Zhu, don't be too busy kissing me. I have something to ask you."
Afraid of hurting the other party, Zhu Bajie had no choice but to tilt his head back: "Sister, tell me."
"The mage will not allow me to stay in the team. If I follow you, won't I have to be a widow in the future?" Xiao Shan leaned next to Lao Zhu and asked in a low voice.
Zhu Bajie kept sniffing the fragrance of the other party, his eyes blurred: "Isn't it still a long way from your village? On the way back, I will persuade Master and try to keep you here. ”
“Fight for?”
Xiao Shan suddenly broke away from his arms, with a serious look on his face: "What if you fail to win, wouldn't the result be the same? I think so, when you succeed, I will When will I be with you again?”
"No, sister." Lao Zhu reached out to pull Xiao Shan, but he was pulled away again.
"Brother Pig, I hope you can respect me." Xiaoshan said seriously.
Zhu Bajie quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and finally gave up the plan of betraying the team to flatter Xiao Shan.
That Young Master Kong was like a clairvoyant. He could even guess that Xiao Shan was a traitor, and he would probably take his current situation into consideration.
Being opposed to such a perceptive person who sees through falsehoods puts a lot of pressure on him, and this pressure even exceeds lust.
It's true that he has a pig brain, but his pig brain is not stupid.
"Brother Pig." Xiaoshan suddenly grabbed the opponent's palm and said sincerely: Our future depends entirely on you. "
At this moment, even though he knew that the other party was lying, the old pig was still uncontrollably moved, and said half-truthfully: "I will try my best, I will try my best..."
Not long after, the two demons quietly returned to the team, pretending that nothing had happened.
Unknown to everyone, Xuanzang, Monkey, and Qin Yao opened their eyes one after another under the cover of night, leaving Sha Wujing alone. Sleep deeply
In fact, beauty traps, alienation schemes, bitter meat schemes, and serial schemes all have to ensure one premise, that is, they must be both false and true, so that the other party cannot figure it out in order to succeed.
Just like in the original work of Journey to the West, the White Bone Spirit succeeded in driving a wedge between Tang Monk and Monkey by using a clever trick. The fundamental reason was that Tang Monk was deceived by his mortal eyes and could not see her demon body.
But if the other party knows that you have evil intentions from the beginning, then no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to use these tactics to achieve your goal.
Just like the ending of Conquering the Demon, Xuanzang chose to believe in Sun Wukong and his piercing eyes, so the failure of the Nine Palace Master became inevitable.
The same is true today. After Qin Yao gained Xuanzang's trust and Sun Wukong's favor, it was impossible for the alienation plan to work on the Journey to the West team.
There is a more core point in this: Qin Yao saved Miss Duan, and there was no deepest thorn buried between Xuanzang and Sun Wukong.
Qin Yao even said to Sun Wukong before that he was a chess piece, and so was Xuanzang. Why should the chess pieces bother the chess pieces? They are all just miserable people.
Time passed slowly, and as a dark cloud covered the bright moon, the night gradually deepened.
Like a dream but not a dream, Xiaoshan suddenly heard familiar calls. He slowly opened his eyes and saw that he appeared on a mountaintop out of thin air.
A figure stood in front of her, standing in the sunlight. Because the sunlight was too dazzling, she could not see the other person's face clearly.
"Xiao Shan, how did you complete your mission?" the figure asked softly.
Xiao Shan suddenly came back to his senses, recognized who the other party was, and responded quickly: "Reporting to the master, the mission is not going very smoothly."
"It shouldn't be, the problem is Where?" Master Jiugong asked.
Xiaoshan: "I feel that the entire Buddhist scripture collection team is very wary of me, and Xuanzang is unwilling to accept me and even wants me to leave.
In desperation, I had to ask They took me back to my hometown of Xiaohe Village and pointed out the direction to Baihu Ridge.”
"It's strange." Master Jiugong said: "It should be easy for a group of people and monsters to have their own ghosts and monsters to separate."
Xiao Shan was silent.
“It seems we can’t wait any longer.”
Jiugong Zhenren spoke again: “You can safely take them to Baihu Ridge, and I will transform Baihu Ridge into Xiaohe Village.
At that time, some monsters will be found to pretend to be adults, and they will deliberately provoke Sun Wukong and lure him into action to see how Xuanzang will react
If he doesn't react at all to the monkey, then we don't have to try any more tricks. "
Xiao Shan thought for a while and said: "Master National Preceptor, can I make a suggestion? "
"Of course, what suggestions do you want to make? "Jiugong Zhenren said.
Xiao Shan said with a gloomy face: "I suspect that Chen Xuanzang also has the ability to see into monsters, so if you find a group of monsters to play villagers, it will be difficult to really alienate them. "
"What is your suggestion? "Jiugong Zhenren asked.
Xiaoshan said quietly: "Find a group of real people, transform them into monsters, and gather them into a small river village.
At that time, we will lure Sun Wukong to kill. Xuanzang is an exorcist, so he has no idea about Sun Wukong killing monsters. Any psychological burden, but what if Sun Wukong keeps killing and Xuanzang finds out that he is killing people?
The contradiction is destined to reach its peak at this moment. "
Jiugong Zhenren was stunned. one Then he laughed loudly, standing in the sunshine and stretched out his palm towards Xiaoshan: "Xiaoshan, Xiaoshan, you are indeed my most beloved pet. This idea has won my heart. The master appreciates you more and more now." .”
Xiao Shan held her palm and stood in the sunshine. He only heard his voice but could not see his person: "Master, after Sun Wukong kills Chen Xuanzang and you suppress Sun Wukong, can you give me other people?"< br>
"What do you want them to do?" Master Jiugong asked curiously.
Xiao Shan smiled and said: "I will kill them myself, peel off their skin and bones, and light a lamp with their souls."
How can a beautiful girl who was raped and killed in a barren mountain have no resentment in her heart? No hatred?
If it is the kind of love that falls in love with Xuanzang and is willing to sacrifice one's life for Xuanzang, as in the original work, perhaps this resentment can be dissipated.
But because of the variable Qin Yao, she failed to turn love into hatred as in the original work, and even her hatred for the world became even more intense.
To her.
Since you can’t get it.
Then destroy it.
Just like her broken life!
