Demons of the Ghost City

"Forget about the reward! I don't want my master to bestow anything upon me again," Sun Wukong said, waving his hand.

"Master, what are you saying! I think you deserve a reward from Master!" Zhu Bajie said to Tang Xuanzang earnestly.

After Zhu Bajie finished speaking, Sun Wukong looked at Tang Xuanzang, waiting for his answer.

After witnessing this, Tang Xuanzang pondered for a moment, then said to Sun Wukong, "Monkey, since you helped us retrieve the Plantain Fan this time, you can keep this reward. Consider it my gift to you!"

Upon hearing Tang Xuanzang's words, Sun Wukong was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.

He then accepted the reward given to him by Tang Xuanzang.

"Master, you're so good to me! Thank you!" Sun Wukong said to Tang Xuanzang.

"Monkey, don't be so polite with me. We really owe you a lot this time. If it weren't for you, Bajie and I wouldn't have been able to escape from the Flaming Mountain, and we might still be dead. Bajie 've helped us a lot this time," Tang Xuanzang said to Sun Wukong.

This matter was considered settled. After bidding farewell to the Bull Devil King, Sun Wukong Tang Xuanzang, and their companions continued their journey to the Western Heaven to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

In ancient times, there was a country that was long and prosperous, known as the Great Tang of the Eastern Lands.

"That's strange, Master. This is clearly where we started, so how did we end up back here?" Sun Wukong scratched his head, completely baffled.

Tang Xuanzang also frowned. The streets were crowded with pedestrians, but everyone had a strange smile on their face.

This city is definitely unusual!

"Let's go, let's go, let's not stay here any longer. Let's find a hotel to stay in, and I'll observe the situation carefully tonight," Tang Xuanzang said. He didn't want to stay here any longer; he felt a deep sense of terror in the eyes of these people, which gave him goosebumps.

Sun Wukong nodded. "Yes, I'll listen to Dharma Master Xuanzang. I, Old Sun, also want to know what's going on here, and what's wrong with these people?"

Before Sun Wukong could finish speaking, a scream suddenly rang out. Sun Wukong looked up and saw a person being thrown into the middle of the road. A car sped by, knocked the person down, and then drove away.

"Ah! What's going on?" Sun Wukong exclaimed.

Tang Xuanzang frowned. "Never mind, let's hurry and find an inn. Let's rest first, and we'll talk about it tonight. If that doesn't work, we'll think of something else."

"Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking!" Sun Wukong replied, taking Tang Xuanzang's hand and heading towards the restaurant ahead.

Meanwhile, in a small alley.

"Hahaha, you little brat, where do you think you're going this time? You're dead!" said a long-haired monster covered in scars.

Laughing out loud.

"No, no, please let me go! I really won't do it again, I'll never do it again!" A young man knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.

The hairy monster stomped on the young man's chest, tearing his clothes apart. "Hmph, you don't dare, but I see you've got some nerve. You little brat, let me tell you, you've angered me, and you'll pay the price. Now I'll give you two choices! First, you die; second, I'll kill you!"

"No, no, I was wrong, I'll never do it again, please let me go, please!" the young man cried out in anguish.

"Hmph, you should have died long ago! You monsters should have been punished long ago, otherwise there would be no justice! Today, none of you will live!" The hairy monster sneered, kicking the youth's heart until it exploded.

The hairy monster didn't even glance at the ruptured heart and strode forward.

The hairy monster stopped at the corner of an alley and looked around.

At that moment, three dark figures emerged from the darkness not far behind him.

Three figures emerged from the darkness and stood beside the hairy monster.

"Master, we did a great job this time. We not only solved the problem of Monkey Sun, but also wiped out the rest of the demons," one of them said respectfully.

"Hmm, well done. You guys go and take care of the remaining five fairies. We're going too," the hairy monster ordered.

"Yes, Master." The three dark figures said and then disappeared again.

The hairy monster continued walking and soon arrived at the gate of a dilapidated courtyard.

Push open the iron gate to the courtyard.

The hairy monster rushed in and plopped down on the dilapidated wooden bed.

"Ah!" A woman screamed.

"Who are you!" the woman exclaimed, staring at the strange man who had suddenly barged into her house.

"Madam, I am your husband's good friend, my name is Niu San," said the hairy monster.

"Niu San, what are you doing here? My husband is busy right now. If you have something to say, come find him tomorrow," the Human Path.

"Oh, it's like this, madam. I have urgent business with you. A high-ranking member of our Demon Race sent me to help you humans. Our Demon Race has already dispatched a large number of demon soldiers to your human realm, and your emperor is preparing to summon all his subjects to go to the human realm to fight against the demon soldiers. Look at you, if you need my help, I can help you resist the demon soldiers," said the long-haired monster.

"The demon soldiers have arrived? How is that possible? You're not lying to us, are you?" The woman was somewhat incredulous.

"Madam, how could I lie to you? I wouldn't dare lie to you about something like this," Niu San said.

"But madam, don't worry, I'm telling you the truth. I'll go to the palace with you now to report this, so please don't doubt me," Niu San said hurriedly.

"Alright, Niu San, I'll believe you this once. I also want to go to the palace. I want to see for myself whether what you're saying is true or false. If what you're saying is true, I'll believe you. If you're lying, you're a monster, and I'll burn you alive," the woman said viciously.

"Madam, whether I am a monster or not, my identity is that of a monster, but my heart is not. If I am lying, I am willing to be struck by lightning." Niu San swore that he was telling the truth.

"Fine, then come with me, but don't try anything funny!" the woman threatened.

"No, no, I wouldn't dare!" Niu San assured him.

Afterwards, Niu San and the woman left the small village and headed towards the palace.

A day passed quickly, and Tang Xuanzang and his companions arrived at the inn.

After Sun Wukong and Tang Xuanzang had eaten and drunk their fill at the inn, they began to discuss their next plan.

"Wukong, what do we do now? This is the lair of demons after all; they'll definitely be on guard. Should we go and search for them?" Tang Xuanzang asked.
