Less than half an hour later, Monk Tang and his five disciples came to Sun Wukongâs town. The town is not big or small. There are thousands of families with neat buildings. Monk Tang and others can feel the abundance of the town.
However, what makes Monk Tang and others feel strange is that after entering the town, they did not see a single person. Every family has closed its doors, and there is not a lamp in such a large town!
âWhere are the people here? Did you sleep so early? Itâs a bit strange! â Sandy frowned.
âWhatever, it may be the custom here, that is, to go to bed early. Now we decide which house to stay for one night is the most important thing!â Pigsy blinked his big ears. It was not surprising that he didnât care.
Monk Tang naturally felt strange, but he didnât think so much at that time. A drop of rain fell on his head and he didnât have time to think about other things. After looking at the buildings around him, Monk Tang pointed to a Plutocratic family and said, âLetâs go to that house for a night!â
After saying this, Monk Tang just rolled over and dismounted and walked towards the Plutocratic family.
âHey hey, Master has chosen well. The family is very rich at first sight. I can eat with my belly open!â Pigsy smiled at this and quickly followed Monk Tang.
âIs this family in mourning?â Pigsy looked at the decoration of the Plutocratic family in front of him, and his brow wrinkled.
Master and disciples came to the door of the Plutocratic family and immediately discovered something wrong. Unlike other places, this Plutocratic family is one of the few places in the town that holds a lamp, but the door is hung with a white lantern with a big black âdrinkâ on it.
In addition, a large white paper flower is hung on the plaque in the Plutocratic family, which is entirely for the funeral.
Through the pale light, Monk Tang and others saw clearly the writing on the plaque: Chenâs Mansion!
Seeing the two words Monk Tangâs eyebrows slightly raised, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and he always felt something was missing.
At this time, the sky is more gloomy, it began to rain with a little rain, and it is gradually increasing. Even Monk Tang is not going to stay with other people, and he just knocks on the copper ring.
âWho is it?â As soon as the sound of the copper ring tapping rang, a middle-aged manâs voice was heard inside the door.
Creaking ⦠scarlet door opened, a bearded, dressed in brocade, the white face looked at only 30 or 40 years old middle-aged man greets Monk Tang.
âMonk?â The bald head of the middle-aged man Monk Tang froze and said.
âAmitabfa, this Almsgiver, I am a monk, but I came from the east and wanted to stay in your precious place for a night. I wonder if Almsgiver can make it convenient?â Monk Tang folded his hands and bowed.
âThis master, Iâm really sorry, my Chen family is really not convenient to entertain the master now, youâd better go to other homes to stay!â The middle-aged man said this with a dim look in his eyes. If monks came to stay at ordinary times, he would let them in without saying anything, but at this time he could only sigh with emotion that Monk Tang and others were not at the right time.
âHey, you this person I Master all say night, how can you refuse? I think your family is having a funeral, just let me Master give your family a break! â Hiding behind the door, afraid to frighten each otherâs Pigsy, heard that the other party should refuse, immediately is canât help but to pig head leaned over and said.
âgoblins ah â¦â Middle-aged man frightens suddenly, staggered back.
Monk Tang was quick-eyed and grabbed the other side with one hand. After giving Pigsy a hard look, he said to the middle-aged man, âAmitabfa, Almsgiver, donât be afraid. Although my apprentice is a bit fierce in appearance, he is not bad in heart!â
The middle-aged man heard these words and nodded his head. He took a closer look at Pigsy. Although he looks a bit strange, he is similar to a pig, but he is deadly. After a long time, he has a lovely feeling instead of being afraid. The most important thing is that he found Pigsyâs eyes are not evil at all. This made him put down his heart.
The middle-aged man said: âThis master, it doesnât matter, I overreacted a little. I donât blame this master!â
âHey, you still let us out, the rain is getting heavier!â Sun Wukongâs impatience, that is, poking his head up.
âMonkeys?â The middle-aged man did not respond much this time, perhaps because Sun Wukong looks cuter than Pigsy.
Monk Tang smiled awkwardly and said, âAmitabfa, Almsgiver, donât blame me. This is my senior disciple. That was my second disciple just now!â
âNo harm, no harm!â The middle-aged man motioned with his hand repeatedly, then sighed and said with a sigh: âItâs just the fate of heaven. Several masters will follow me in, but I hope the masters can promise me one thing!â
âPrepare a good table and dishes, and I promise you everything!â Pigsy immediately said.
Monk Tang glared at Pigsy, told him to shut up, and bowed to the middle-aged man. âAmitabfa, what is Almsgiver asking for?â
âNothing, just want the master to promise, no matter what sound you hear at night, donât come out of the room!â The middle-aged man said this with begging.
âAlmsgiver, what do you mean? Is this your funeral custom? I donât know who died at home. â Sandy is also out Hanhan asked.
âMy son is not dead yet â¦â The middle-aged man heard these words with a loud cry, his eyes turned red instantly, his tears swirling in his eyes, his eyes tightly fixed on Sandy.
Monk Tang and others were startled by the sudden violent drink of the middle-aged man. They couldnât help but look at each other. However, they also recognized the ambiguity in each otherâs words. No one died. How did the funeral come about?
âIf you are not dead, you are not dead. What are you doing with such a big fire?â Pigsy grunted discontentedly.
âIâm sorry, Iâm sorry, I overreacted!â Middle-aged man after just that moment of an outbreak, the mood is instantly stabilized, and then to Monk Tang and others repeatedly devoting to apologize.
âAlmsgiver, donât apologize. My three disciples have some outspoken words. However, I would like to ask one more question. Since no one died in the ownerâs home, why should the funeral be held?â Monk Tang said, vaguely catching something!
âah, itâs a long story. if the master wants to hear it, Iâll tell the master!â The middle-aged man sighed heavily and then took Monk Tang and others to the lobby.
