Chapter 50 It’s all trivial
Li Fu returned the gift.
Wukong stood motionless.
Gao Taigong saw that the monk was ugly, with a face like a thunderous one, and he was quite ferocious.
He did not dare to approach and avoided talking to Li Fu.
The traveler said, "You old man, why don't you sing to Lao Sun?"
Gao Taigong was very frightened. He tugged on Gao Cai's clothes and said viciously, "You little boy also want to harm your master?"
"There is already such a strange and eccentric son-in-law in the house that I can't get rid of, so how can I bring in another thunderous man to harm me?"
When Wukong heard this, he was not very happy.
Before he converted to Buddhism, he was also known far and wide as the Monkey King.
He said, "You old man, you have grown older, are you confused? Why are you so unreasonable?"
"Judge people by their appearance. You only know the appearance, not the heart."
"When I see someone with a good color, I feel that he is a kind friend. When I see an ugly person, I feel disgusted."
"When you see me like this, you think I'm ugly."
"But I have some real skills. I can capture the goblins and ghosts in your house for you, capture your son-in-law who comes to your house, and return your daughter. It's not a difficult task."
"For you, this is a good thing. Why do you judge people by their appearance?"
When Gao Taigong saw the traveler saying this, he was still trembling. He forced himself to cheer up and reluctantly said, "Please come in."
When Wukong saw his master's invitation, he led the white horse into the mansion.
Over there, Li Fu was walking slowly, carrying his luggage with his hands on his back. He grinned under the pressure, looking like a resentful person.
When he saw the walker's thin back, he thought to himself, "With such a body size, he can carry such a heavy bag and walk thousands of miles, and he is really capable."
Wukong entered the hall first. He didn't care about anything and tied the white horse to the pillar.
This kind of behavior is a bit unfair to the dragon species.
But to ordinary people, it looks arrogant and not very polite.
After tying the horse, he pulled over a chair.
This chair has complicated craftsmanship. Although it is not uncommon in the Thirteenth Prince's House where Li Fu lived, it feels quite out of place for a farmer's home.
Just like when Wukong put on his hat for the first time, everyone who saw it felt like wearing a hat.
Wukong asked Li Fu to sit down, and he pulled a chair and sat aside.
When Grand Duke Gao saw Wukong doing this, he said, "This elder has some respect for his family."
Hearing this, Wukong said, "If you keep me here for the first half of the year, I will show you what dignity and inferiority are and what family care is."
Gao Taigong ignored the fiery monkey's quick words.
He sat down slowly and asked Li Fu, "My boy just told me that the two elders came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty?"
Li Fu said, "That's it. The poor monk was ordered by the Emperor of Tang to go to the West to obtain the true scriptures."
"It's a long journey, and I'm passing by Baozhuang. I would like to stay here for a night. I'll leave early tomorrow morning."
When Gao Taigong heard this, his face turned dark, as if he had seen a beggar.
Old Man Gao said, "Since you two are staying overnight, why do you say you know how to subjugate monsters and capture monsters? You are putting me through all this trouble!"
Wukong said, "My master doesn't like monsters. It's because I stayed with you that I took a few monsters to play with."
"Old man, tell me, how many monsters are there in your house?"
Gao Taigong's eyes darkened when he heard this, "How many... and... and... and... my God! I have just one monster in my house, and that's enough for me."
Wukong said, "Don't be anxious. Tell me why the monster comes and goes. Tell me what methods he has, so that I can catch him for you."
Grandpa Gao beat his chest and stamped his feet, and said, "In our Zhuangzi, from ancient times to the present, and for thousands of years, there have never been any sneaky spirits, ghosts, monsters, or evil spirits."
"I am an old and unfortunate man who has never given birth to a son, only three daughters."
"The first one is named Xianglan, the second one is named Yulan, and the third one is named Cuilan."
"My eldest daughter and my second daughter are all married to people from this village."
"It's just that my little daughter Cuilan has found a new son-in-law."
"I expected him to live with my family, be a son-in-law who can provide for me in old age, be a housekeeper, and work as an errand."
"Three years ago, there was a man with a very exquisite appearance. He told us that he was from Fuling Mountain."
"My surname is Zhu. I have no parents and no brothers. I am alone and have no worries. I would like to be the only son-in-law who comes to my house."
"The old man saw that he looked exquisite and had no restraints, so he took him as his wife."
"When he first entered the door, he was very diligent."
"By plowing and harrowing the land, you can open up fertile land without using cattle or farm tools."
"When you harvest a wheat field without using a sickle or a staff, your warehouse will be full of grain."
"Work before the sun rises, and rest only after sunset."
"At this point, everything is going very well."
"It's just..."
"He is a monster who can change his face!"
Wukong asked, "How did his face change?"
Old Mrs. Gao said, "When he first arrived, he was a strong, fat black man, but later he turned into a fool with a long mouth and big ears."
"Not only that, he also has a streak of hair on the back of his head, and his body is frighteningly rough."
"His originally handsome face became more and more like a pig."
"He has a huge appetite. If he has three to five bushels of rice in one meal, it will definitely not be enough."
"To have snacks in the morning, you need a hundred or so biscuits."
"If you are in a happy mood, you should also add some vegetarian food to your meal."
"If he eats some more meat and wine, his family property and land will not be enough for him to eat for half a year, and he will be completely wiped out."
Li Fu said, "The more you work, the more you eat; the less you work, the less you eat; the more you work, the more you eat."
"He works from dawn to dusk. He is so diligent. It is only natural that he should eat more."
Mr. Gao said, "Eating is still a trivial matter. The key point is that he knows how to manipulate the wind, making the clouds come and go, and the sand and rocks fly."
"It scared my family and my neighbors to the point of being frightened and unable to live in peace."
"He also brought my little girl Cuilan to the back of the house."
"I haven't seen my little girl for half a year, not only whether she is dead or alive."
"The old man thought he was a monster, so he wanted to ask a mage to drive him away and capture him so that I could have peace."
"It's just that the mages I met the day before yesterday...were actually useless..."
Wukong said, "What's the difficulty in catching a monster! You old man, please feel free, but I, my old grandson, will promise to catch him today and discipline him to write a document of renouncing the engagement. How about returning your daughter?"
Old Mrs. Gao's face was full of joy and he said, "In order to recruit him as my new son-in-law, I have ruined my reputation and alienated many family members."
"If the elder captures him, I don't want any paperwork. Please help me, elder, to remove the roots!"
