Late at night, with the moon and stars dimming, Guanyin and others who were in charge of observing the sutra-collecting group were sitting in the auspicious clouds in boredom, reciting sutras.
After all, if a demonic spirit really appears, they can react immediately, so there is no need to keep an eye on them every day.
In the old house to the east of Tuoluozhuang, Tang Seng sat beside the bed and meditated, while Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng leaned against each other and fell asleep soundly. Even Sun Wukong felt a little tired and fell asleep leaning against a pillar.
As for Chu Hao, he hasn't come back yet, and he still doesn't know where he went.
The whole village fell into sleep as the night progressed, quietly and no one appeared.
But soon, a dozen big men poured out of the village chief's room. Some of them were holding torches, and some were carrying firewood from home, and they were heading east.
"Be gentle, be gentle. If you wake them up, it'll be over." The village chief commanded with his cane.
The group of people soon arrived outside the old house. Tang Seng, who was sitting inside, seemed to feel something. He opened his eyes slightly, got up and went under the bed.
Walking to the bedside, through the window, he could only see the light of fire emerging from behind the fence.
After taking a look at his sleeping apprentice, he came to the door, gently opened the door and entered the yard.
At this moment, the moon was shining brightly, and several big men in charge of putting out firewood were frightened when they saw Tang Monk suddenly appear.
Without waiting for them to greet their companions, Tang Seng slapped a big man with a heavy palm. The big man suddenly bled from all his orifices and died.
Others were stunned when they saw this scene.
Tang Seng acted decisively and quickly rushed towards several other big men. With a few kicks, he kicked them all to death in the yard.
At this moment, Niu Er, who was setting fire outside, got impatient. He raised his torch and walked in. He happened to see Tang Monk kicking several people to death.
He looked horrified and was about to retreat, but Tang Seng was faster and kicked him hard on the back, sending him flying away.
Niu Er was kicked several meters away and fell in front of a group of assailants.
"Second nephew." Seeing this, the village chief exclaimed and ran over.
When Niu Er's body was opened, it was found that he had been kicked to death without leaving his eyes open.
At this time, Tang Monk also walked out of the yard and looked at the group of guys holding torches with a murderous look on his face: "I knew you had evil intentions a long time ago. You must have been the ones who killed those monks and Taoists."
"You killed my nephew, kill him for me." the village chief shouted loudly.
In an instant, all the big men around him were holding weapons and charging towards Tang Monk.
Tang Seng looked stern and took action directly without any hesitation.
The noise outside the house instantly woke up Sun Wukong and the others. They thought a monster was coming, but when they saw that their master was missing, they became even more anxious. They picked up their weapons and rushed out.
However, when they rushed out, they happened to see the master fighting with a group of villagers, with an unprecedented sense of indifference on his face.
At this moment, Guanyin and others who were far away in the sky also noticed the movement below, suddenly realized that Tang Sanzang was being besieged, and rushed down quickly.
However, when they arrived at the field, Tang Seng was already covered in blood, and in front of him lay the corpses of more than a dozen villagers.
Zhu Bajie patted Sun Wukong and asked: "Brother Monkey, why is this master so fierce today?"
"Who knew, the master wouldn't let me kill ordinary people, but I didn't expect that I would be so decisive." Sun Wukong curled his lips and said.
A word suddenly popped into his mind, double standard!
Now, Guanyin and others came to the field, and they were even more frightened when they saw that Tang Monk was filled with demonic energy.
"Tang Sanzang, what are you doing?" Di Ting asked angrily.
Tang Seng looked at the other party with an indifferent expression, as if he was looking at a dead person.
This really shocked Di Ting, the seventh-turn quasi-sage, and he thought to himself: After Tang Sanzang was transformed into a demon, why was his aura not right? And why did his strength become so much stronger?
Guanyin next to her was also puzzled. She frowned slightly, looked at Tang Monk and asked, "Tang Sanzang, do you know your sin?"
"Master Guanyin, what crime am I guilty of?" Tang Monk asked.
"You killed innocent people indiscriminately." Guanyin's voice dropped.
"If they didn't have any evil intentions, the poor monk would naturally not take action." Tang Seng replied.
"This is a fallacy, Tang Sanzang, you have become a demon!" The ancient Buddha of Ran Deng announced a Buddha's name and then said.
"What the Buddha said is wrong. It is their blessing that these evil people have been saved by me and have gone to the Western Heaven. Being able to become my Buddhist disciples can be regarded as atonement for their sins." Tang Monk said seriously.
The burning ancient Buddha shook his head and said nothing.
Guanyin next to him continued: "Tang Sanzang, even if they are guilty, they don't need you to judge them. Your behavior is inconsistent with my Buddha!"
"Master Guanyin, why are we incompatible? Since ancient times, they have put down their butcher's knives and become Buddhas on the spot. But they never put down their butcher's knives, so naturally they cannot become Buddhas." Tang Monk argued.
Guanyin shook her head slightly: "Mortal matters need to be dealt with by the mortal government. You are now filled with demonic aura. You are obviously affected by that demonic aura. You still don't know your sin?"
He also didn't expect that Tang Sanzang, a man who was usually so gentle, gentle and compassionate, would actually get into a fight tonight and kill more than a dozen people.
It wouldn't matter if they were monsters, but these are ordinary people.
Before, Sun Wukong would have to recite a tightening curse if he killed any ordinary person. Now he killed more than a dozen by himself. If it were him before, he would have been thrown into hell.
"No, Master Guanyin, the government can't take care of it, so the poor monks can take care of it." Tang Monk saluted.
These words shocked the three of them and even his three disciples.
They looked at the person in front of them in surprise, feeling extremely strange.
"That's all, I will report what happened tonight to the Buddha to see if this kind of thing should happen again in the future." Master Guanyin said.
She didn't know how to deal with this matter, so she could only go back and report it to the Buddha.
Guanyin and others left. Tang Seng looked at the corpses around him with a look of disgust, and then said to the three disciples: "You guys clean this up."
After saying that, he walked back to the yard, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.
Zhu Bajie looked at the blood all over the ground and shook his head: "What is this all about?"
"Brother Monkey, did you hear what Master Guanyin said just now? Master, he may have become a demon." Sha Monk came to Sun Wukong and whispered.
Sun Wukong also fell into deep thought. Considering the master's style during this period, he felt that it was very possible.
"What happened tonight is too weird. It's not like something the master could do. By the way, where are brothers Chu Hao?" Sun Wukong looked around and found that there was no trace of Chu Hao.
"The Immortal Lord has not come back since he left." Sha Monk said truthfully.
"Brother Monkey, Junior Brother Sha, stop chatting and get started." At this moment, Zhu Bajie had already rolled up his sleeves and started to pile the corpses aside.
Fortunately, the location here is remote, so it didn't attract anyone else's attention. If this was discovered, there would probably be a mess tonight.
