Peach Blossom Immortal
Sun Wukong immediately sensed something was wrong and turned to look at the White Dragon Horse, only to find that Tang Xuanzang on the White Dragon Horse had vanished without a trace.
"Damn it, that old man seems to be a monster. He's already kidnapped Master. What should we do now?"
After thinking about this, Sun Wukong became very anxious. After a short while, he asked Zhu Bajie:
"What are we going to do now? We're almost there to get the scriptures, but we've been captured by a monster."
Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing were also very flustered at this moment, while the White Dragon Horse was so frightened that it howled and staggered around looking in all directions.
At the same time, the old man, as if possessed, led Tang Xuanzang to a stone house, gently laid him down, and quietly said, holding his hand:
"Tang Xuanzang, please don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person. I've noticed there's hardly anyone around for several kilometers, and I wanted to invite you to come and discuss Buddhist teachings."
After hearing what the old man said, Tang Xuanzang finally felt relieved and took a closer look, realizing that this was indeed a wonderful place.
After a short while, Tang Xuanzang began to discuss Buddhist scriptures with the old man.
Just as they were getting into the middle of their conversation, a woman suddenly appeared. She was carrying a lantern and walked over with a smile. The old man pointed at Tang Xuanzang and said, "I've brought you the people you wanted. What else do you want now?"
After hearing what the old man said, the woman smiled and said to him, "Sir, please don't be in such a hurry. Let me finish what I have to say, okay?"
After pondering this for a long time, the old man said to the woman:
"Speak now. I'll give you some time. If you can't say something nice, I'll take your life."
After hearing the old man's words, the woman covered her mouth and chuckled, teasing him, "Why are you being so fierce, sir? I'm just a weak woman."
The old man snorted coldly upon hearing this, muttering softly, "I've never seen a weak woman kill an adult with her bare hands."
Upon hearing the old man's words, Tang Xuanzang was greatly surprised and looked at the woman in a panic.
"You're a murderer."
Upon hearing Tang Xuanzang's words, the woman covered her mouth and chuckled softly, gently stroking Tang Xuanzang 'Tang Xuanzang face as she said to him:
"Elder, why are you so afraid of me? I have no ill intentions at all."
Just then, the old man suddenly interrupted the woman, saying:
"Aren't you the fairy that peach blossoms cultivated into? Don't continue harming people here, leave now!"
Upon hearing this, the woman suddenly perked up slightly and said to the old man:
"You can't just make things up; you need to produce some evidence."
The old man chuckled dismissively upon hearing this, and then said to the woman:
"If you really want to know, then I'll help you remember."
The old man had barely finished speaking when he began to speak again.
"I remember a family in that village, wasn't their son killed by you?"
Upon hearing the old man's words, the Peach Blossom Demon quickly explained:
"Actually, I didn't kill him. That person saw me and tried to pounce on me, but he ran into a rock and died."
"Even if this was an accident on his part, did you actually pull Niu Er from the Li Household into the lake and drown him?"
The old man grew increasingly angry as he spoke, and suddenly slammed his hand on the ground, causing the ground to tremble. This startled Tang Xuanzang greatly.
After a short while, the old man and the Peach Blossom Demon slowly turned their gazes to Tang Xuanzang. However, Tang Xuanzang did not sit idly by and wait for his death; instead, he stood up and shouted loudly:
"You monster! How dare you tempt me like this! We were just discussing Buddhist scriptures back then, but now you've set up this trap to deceive me."
When the old man saw that Tang Xuanzang was angry, he quickly explained to Tang Xuanzang, "Actually, I didn't summon this Peach Blossom Demon. She came on her own, so I have no idea what happened to her afterwards."
After a short while, the Peach Blossom Demon slowly began to explain to the old man:
"I was bathing in the lake when, after a short while, I revealed my true form. However, when that person saw me bathing in the lake, he thought I had fallen into the water."
"So he came to save me, but unexpectedly, he lost his own life in the process."
The old man became very angry after hearing what the Peach Blossom Demon said, and muttered under his breath:
"I'm absolutely furious! You keep making excuses for yourself, yet you've caused so many deaths. How can you still have the nerve to live in this world?"
After a short while, the Peach Blossom Demon, seeing that Tang Xuanzang n't react, said to him, "You monk, you're simply ungrateful! What's wrong with me? I can compose poetry and music, yet you keep declining. Don't miss this opportunity!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanzang was greatly surprised and quickly said, "This female benefactor, please don't talk nonsense anymore. I really cannot listen to you."
Upon hearing Tang Xuanzang's words, one of the servants beside the Peach Blossom Demon became extremely angry and quickly said to Tang Xuanzang:
"We tried to reason with you, but you wouldn't listen. When we got into a rage, we captured you, so you can't be a monk and won't be able to get married."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanzang could only pretend not to hear, thinking to himself, "I wonder where my disciples are looking for me right now. I must hurry back."
Thinking of this, Tang Xuanzang couldn't help but shed tears Peach Blossom Demon smiled and stayed close to Tang Xuanzang, taking out a handkerchief from her clothes to wipe away all the tears on Tang Xuanzang's face.
As the Peach Blossom Demon wiped the flowers, she kindly advised Tang Xuanzang:
"Please don't keep crying here. Why don't you marry me now, and I'll take you with me."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanzang thought to himself, "Since she has said so, I can't stay here any longer. I must leave quickly, or I really won't be able to get out."
Meanwhile, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie were frantically searching for Tang Xuanzang.
After thinking this through, Tang Xuanzang stood up and turned to leave. However, the Peach Blossom Demon, seeing this, could not sit idly by and wait for her fate. She stopped Tang Xuanzang said to him:
