#2286 - The charity house is weird
Tang Sanzang and his disciples were arranged in very luxurious guest rooms. After returning to their rooms, they once again discussed the philanthropist Kou.
“Although this Kou philanthropist is very likely arranged by the Western Heavens, he should also be genuinely doing good deeds.”
Tang Sanzang shared his conclusion with the others.
“I agree with Master's words, but Kou is a good person, doesn't mean everyone around him is good.”
Sun Wukong agreed with Tang Sanzang's conclusion, but added.
“That's right, that Second Madam doesn't seem like an honest woman. Maybe she's a spy from the Western Heavens placed beside Kou.”
Pigsy also agreed.
Just then, a sound suddenly came from outside. Although the sound was very faint, Tang Sanzang and his disciples all had excellent hearing.
The four of them looked out the window together and saw a figure in the courtyard outside. Looking closely under the moonlight,
that person was none other than Kou's son. Kou's son was quietly hiding in the courtyard, seemingly trying to eavesdrop on Tang Sanzang and the others.
“This guy is acting suspiciously, as if he's monitoring us.”
“Judging by his appearance, he's definitely not a good person.”
“Perhaps Kou's son is the spy from the Western Heavens.”
Tang Sanzang and his disciples said, looking at Kou's son.
“Let me transform into a fly and go tease this fellow.”
Sun Wukong transformed into a fly and flew out the window, arriving at Kou's son's location.
Kou's son was hiding behind a flower bush. Sun Wukong transformed into a large bee.
Upon getting close, Sun Wukong didn't hold back. He flew in front of Kou's son's face and stung him on the forehead.
“Ouch.”
Kou's son immediately clutched his head and cried out in pain.
“This damn bee, coming out to sting people in the middle of the night.”
Kou's son cursed as he hurriedly fled.
Sun Wukong continued to follow Kou's son, all the way to his room. After Kou's son returned to his room, he quickly took out ointment to apply to his forehead.
Just then, a dark figure suddenly appeared in his room. The dark figure was a person in a black robe.
“What news have you gathered?”
The black-robed man asked Kou's son.
“Nothing. I just sneaked outside Tang Sanzang's door and didn't have time to hear anything.
A damn bee suddenly appeared. Look, it stung a big bump on my forehead. It hurts so much.”
Kou's son complained to the black-robed man as if he was suffering.
“Nonsense, how could there be bees stinging people in the middle of the night.”
The black-robed man clearly didn't believe Kou's son's words and scolded him sternly.
“Is the injury on my forehead fake?”
Kou's son pointed to his forehead and defended himself to the black-robed man.
“Enough. I warn you, if you don't do your best when working for us, our methods will definitely make you wish you were dead.”
The black-robed man threatened Kou's son, and at the same time, he reached out and touched Kou's son's forehead.
The big bump on Kou's son's forehead immediately disappeared.
After healing Kou's son's injury, the black-robed man's figure flashed and immediately disappeared.
Sun Wukong originally wanted to follow the black-robed man to see what his identity was, but the black-robed man was obviously very skilled. Sun Wukong was afraid of being exposed, so he had to give up.
Sun Wukong returned to the guest room and told Tang Sanzang and the others everything he had seen.
“I think Kou's son is the real spy from the Western Heavens. That black-robed man has extraordinary magic power and must be a big shot from the Western Heavens.”
Sun Wukong made his judgment, based on what he had personally seen.
“If Kou's son is a spy from the Western Heavens, then the Second Madam is not a spy from the Western Heavens.”
“Yes, according to our observation, the Second Madam and Kou's son and daughter are not harmonious. If they both belonged to the Western Heavens, this situation shouldn't exist.”
Tang Sanzang and Pigsy thought and judged.
As for Chu Hao, he didn't say anything, because in Chu Hao's opinion, Kou's family was indeed very strange.
Just as Tang Sanzang and the others continued to discuss which of Kou's son and the Second Madam was most likely a spy sent by the Western Heavens,
suddenly there was a knock on the door. Someone was actually knocking on the door in the middle of the night.
Sha Wujing got up to open the door. After the door was opened, the steward appeared outside the door.
“Venerable Elders, are you not resting yet?”
“I came to see if the Venerable Elders have any requests.”
The steward said with a smile to Tang Sanzang and the others after entering the door.
“No, everything is fine. We disciples are bound to chant scriptures every night, this is also a sincere heart to pay respects to the Buddha.”
Tang Sanzang replied to the steward, of course, this was just a perfunctory answer.
“Oh, are the Venerable Elders so devout in Buddhism? I don't think so.”
“Let me remind the Venerable Elders that this Ground Spirit County looks peaceful, but it is actually a place of right and wrong. The Venerable Elders should not stay here, it's best to leave quickly.”
The steward suddenly changed his face and said to Tang Sanzang and the others in a low voice.
“What do you mean by this?”
Sun Wukong asked the steward in confusion.
“It doesn't mean anything. The Venerable Elders should take care of yourselves.”
The steward didn't explain, but said this with a somewhat profound look, and then turned and left.
“The steward's words seem to have some deep meaning, he's telling us to leave quickly.”
“Could it be that this steward is helping us? But why doesn't he explain it to us?”
“This steward's appearance is so wretched, I don't think this person is trustworthy.”
Tang Sanzang and the others looked at the steward's leaving figure and couldn't help but discuss.
But before Tang Sanzang and the others could continue to discuss the steward's matter, they heard the sound of wooden fish tapping.
“This is someone chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha in the middle of the night, it can be seen that this person is a firm believer in Buddhism.”
Tang Sanzang said in confusion.
“Master, let old Pig go take a look.”
Pigsy volunteered to Tang Sanzang and the others, then walked out of the room and quietly approached the direction of the chanting and wooden fish sounds.
After a while, Pigsy arrived in front of a Buddhist hall in the back garden. The door of the Buddhist hall was not closed, and there was a person inside, kneeling and worshiping the Buddha statue, piously chanting scriptures with his hands clasped together.
After seeing the appearance of this person clearly, Pigsy couldn't help but be puzzled.
“Is Kou's daughter actually so devout in Buddhism? Still worshiping Buddha and chanting scriptures here in the middle of the night?”
A young woman worshiping Buddha and chanting scriptures in this Buddhist hall in the middle of the night is very rare.
