A Cuckoo Takes Over the Magpie's Nest
Tang Xuanzang quickly put his hands together in prayer.
"You must be Squire Gao. Hello, my apprentice and I were passing through this area when we heard about the Black Pig Spirit causing trouble, so we came here immediately."
"Was I thinking of seeing if I could help you?"
Squire Gao looked at Tang Monk with snot and tears streaming down his face.
At this point, they couldn't care less about how scary the hairy-faced, Duke of Thunder- mouthed monk was; after all, the stranger someone looked, the stronger their Law Power.
Isn't the Black Bear Spirit a perfect example?
Upon realizing this, Squire Gao quickly grabbed Tang Monk's hand and showered him with concern and care.
If you didn't know better, you'd think that Squire Gao and Tang Monk were long-lost brothers!
"Master, you've truly saved our family's lives! Please come inside and have a seat. I'll have someone prepare some food for you, and we can talk while we eat!"
Tang Monk nodded slightly.
Although I had some thin porridge at that family's house, my stomach was completely empty after the long journey.
At this time, nothing could be better than eating something to fill your stomach.
Tang Xuanzang then nodded.
"Since that's the case, and I can't refuse your kind offer, then I'll thank you in advance, Squire Gao."
A moment later, in the hall of the Gao family compound, a table full of sumptuous dishes was served, with chicken, duck, fish and meat laid out to the brim.
This shows that the Squire Gao family was quite wealthy.
However, Tang Monk was simply eating the plain porridge in front of him, nothing more.
As for Sun Wukong, he held the peach, ate it clean, and spat out the pit.
"Old man, tell us about that Black Pig Spirit. Wasn't your daughter Black Pig Spirit by him?"
Upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, Squire Gao let out a long sigh.
"This master is right, my daughter was indeed kidnapped by that Black Pig Spirit."
"Where are your daughter and the Black Pig Spirit now?"
As soon as Sun Wukong said this...
Squire Gao sighed deeply.
"What a terrible thing... it really is a terrible thing!"
Just then, one of the guards Squire Gao pointed to the backyard of Old Gao Village.
"The young lady was taken there by that Black Pig Spirit."
Sun Wukong's expression changed.
"So it turns out this Black Pig Spirit has usurped the place! That's outrageous! Watch Old Sun, smash him to death with one blow!"
As soon as Sun Wukong finished speaking, he stood up, turned around, and prepared to leave.
However, Tang Monk on the other side spoke softly.
"Wukong, don't be in such a hurry. What exactly is that Black Pig Spirit?"
"Furthermore, Miss Gao is with the Black Pig Spirit. If she were to attack someone, Miss Gao might be in danger."
Upon hearing this, Squire Gao nodded immediately.
"The high monk is right. We can't alert them yet. Master, my daughter is still in the inner room."
"That Black Pig Spirit has imprisoned my daughter there for over two years, and I really can't take it anymore."
"My daughter and I are separated by a wall, yet we can't see each other... Sigh..."
Squire Gao said these words with a look of regret.
"If I had known it would turn out like this, I would never have let that wretched Black Pig Spirit into my house. What am I going to do now?"
Master Gao uttered these words with a look of fear on his face.
Sun Wukong on the other side thought for a moment.
"Master, I have a good idea. We can replace Gao Cuilan first, and then I can fight the Black Pig Spirit all by myself. That should be fine, right?"
Sun Wukong suddenly uttered this sentence.
After he finished speaking, both Tang Monk and Squire Gao subconsciously turned to look at him, their faces filled with confusion.
Tang Monk also became interested and quickly spoke up.
"Wukong, do you have some good plan in mind?"
Sun Wukong kept scratching his ears and cheeks.
"Of course, Master. Have you forgotten that I can perform 72 Transformations?"
"I'll sneak into that Black Pig Spirit's room first, and after I've met Miss Gao, I'll pull off a surprise attack."
"You guys meet me on this side of the wall, and I'll bring Miss Gao back."
"Then I'll pretend to be Miss Gao and put on a show with that Black Pig Spirit, so that the Black Pig Spirit will die under my club!"
Squire Gao nodded excitedly.
"That's wonderful, Master! Thank you so much!"
However, Tang Xuanzang was somewhat displeased, looking at Sun Wukong opposite him.
"Wukong, have you forgotten what I taught you before? Never take a life unless absolutely necessary. Although it's a Black Pig Spirit, we should try to reform it through persuasion."
Although Sun Wukong hadn't been with Tang Xuanzang for long, he was unaware of how many times he had already heard his master grumbling.
As soon as Tang Xuanzang finished speaking, Sun Wukong on the other side nodded hurriedly.
"I understand, Master. I'll go take a look at the backyard right away."
Just as Sun Wukong was about to leave, someone Squire Gao grabbed Sun Wukong arm.
"Master, perhaps you should stay until after midnight before leaving."
Sun Wukong looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong? Is there something you haven't explained to Old Sun, Old Sun, clearly?"
Upon hearing that Sun Wukong seemed to be getting a little impatient, Squire Gao shook his head repeatedly.
"No, no, no... that's not what I meant. It's that every day at midnight, that Black Pig Spirit would ride the clouds and leave for a short while."
"It's just that the time is too short, and I really can't see my daughter even once, so every night we can only look at each other through the wall."
To be honest, life Squire Gao is quite tragic; they've been bullied to this state by a Black Pig Spirit.
Sun Wukong thought for a moment.
If we could rescue Gao Cuilan before the Black Pig Spirit returns, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?
After thinking about this, Sun Wukong nodded repeatedly.
"Alright, then Old Sun 'll do as you say. We'll sneak in around midnight tonight."
Time ticked by, second by second.
Tang Monk was so sleepy that he sat down to rest with his eyes closed, waiting for the third watch of the night to arrive.
Just then, a dark cloud rose directly from the backyard of Old Gao Village, carrying a fat, dark-skinned man on it.
What kind of eyes does Sun Wukong have? They're Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils!
After all, these were extraordinary eyes; they spotted the Black Pig Spirit at a glance.
After the guy left, Sun Wukong chuckled and immediately started flapping his arms.
In just a short while, it transformed into a little sparrow and slowly slipped inside the wall.
Squire Gao saw this scene, he was completely shocked.
"This master has turned into a bird!"
Tang Xuanzang raised his eyelids and glanced at him.
"Don't panic, Squire Gao. This is my disciple's skill. You can rest assured. Just wait for Miss Gao at the agreed-upon location."
Squire Gao then realized what was happening and quickly nodded.
Meanwhile, after sneaking into the backyard, Sun Wukong immediately flew up towards the house.
