The old man was clever; he knew at a glance that neither the one knocking on the door nor the three oddly-shaped monks were the leaders of the group.
Instead, the real core of the team was the seemingly slacking, but actually in-control, big shot who had been sleeping on horseback the whole time.
Therefore, the old man directly sought help from Chu Hao.
Chu Hao twitched his lips, but since the old man had already said so, Chu Hao could only casually say:
"Speak."
Those two words instantly ignited hope in the old man's heart.
The old man wept, wiping away his tears as he spoke.
"Only to say that the monster is rampant, and the heavens are merciless! When you came from that way, you should have seen another magnificent Temple of the Inspiring King. That beast is the one making our village suffer!"
Tang Sanzang, who was listening nearby, raised an eyebrow.
The old man cried and said:
"This place belongs to Chen Family Village, under the jurisdiction of Yuanhui County in Chechi Kingdom. The Inspiring King dominates the entire Tongtian River and possesses boundless power!
The Inspiring King demands a sacrifice once a year, a young boy and a young girl, along with pigs, sheep, and livestock. He eats them in one go and ensures that we have good weather; if we don't sacrifice, he will bring disaster and calamity."
Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang, always eager to help those in need, immediately became enraged.
"Outrageous! Chechi Kingdom now worships the True Dragon clan. How can this monster still act so fiercely? Could it be..."
A monster from the Western Paradise?!
The Journey to the West team instantly understood.
After all, since Chechi Kingdom adopted the True Dragon as its national religion, and the scales of the Crimson-Gold Dragon Emperor suppressed the national fortune, no demon or beast dared to run wild within the borders of Chechi Kingdom.
However, this did not include the powerful figures sent by the Western Paradise, as they never followed the rules.
That made things easier to explain.
Tang Sanzang clenched his fist, eager to get started.
"Old benefactor, you're crying so miserably. Could it be that it's your family's turn this year?"
The old man cried even more sadly.
"Alas, alas, pity my children! That Inspiring King has specifically demanded our son and daughter.
It's a pity that I only had a daughter at the age of fifty, and she's only eight years old this year, named Yi Cheng Jin."
"And my younger brother has a son, who is seven years old this year, named Chen Guanbao."
"Now that Inspiring King actually wants to eat our two children, what are we supposed to do? Wuwuwu!"
The old man couldn't help but cry as he said this.
Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang, always eager to help those in need, immediately became enraged again.
"Damn monster, actually eating children! Such a beast that harms the people, this monk must tear it into pieces, otherwise, wouldn't this monk's Buddhist practice be in vain!"
"Old benefactor, tell me where that monster is, and let this monk go over there right now and destroy his whole family!"
Seeing that Tang Sanzang was so righteous and awe-inspiring, the old man was incredibly moved. He never thought that a monk could be so handsome!
The old man said directly:
"That monster is hidden in the eight-hundred-li Tongtian River."
Tang Sanzang froze instantly; his strength was not yet enough to overturn rivers and seas.
Tang Sanzang looked at Sun Wukong, who spread his hands.
"Master, you understand Old Sun. Old Sun is not good at swimming, and once we fight in the water, at best, the banks will be submerged, and at worst, the Tongtian River will be widened by several hundred li!"
