Chapter 407 Gao Cuilan
Chapter 407 Gao Cuilan
Mrs. Gao came over at this time, holding a lantern in her hand. The dim light made the wrinkles on her face deeper. She said tremblingly: "But on the wedding day, the strong man drank too much and suddenly showed his true form. He had a long nose and big ears. It was obvious that he was a monster at a glance. He scared away all the relatives!"
At this point, Mrs. Gao's voice was a little choked up, and her eyes were full of pain. She continued, "Before the monster left, I don't know what method he used to trap my little daughter in the attic, so that we couldn't see each other!"
Her voice trembled, as if she was under great pressure. Then she continued: "In recent days, the monster has appeared from time to time, trying to force my daughter to marry it!" After saying these words, Mrs. Gao was already sobbing, tears sliding down her cheeks.
After hearing this, Sun Wukong patted his chest and promised: "Old Gao, don't worry, I will definitely help you catch this monster and rescue your daughter!"
Then he asked Mrs. Gao to lead the way to the backyard.
Sun Wukong arrived at the backyard door and found a big lock on it. He turned to Mrs. Gao and said, "Please open this door. I want to go in and see what's going on." Mrs. Gao shook her head and said anxiously, "I don't know what strange magic the monster used. As long as the lock is touched, he will immediately notice it!" Sun Wukong smiled and blew gently on the lock with confidence. Surprisingly, the seemingly strong lock opened easily.
They climbed up to the attic carefully, and Mrs. Gao finally saw her long-lost daughter Gao Cuilan. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried. Sun Wukong stood aside and said firmly: "Now is not the time to cry. The key is to escape from here!" Mrs. Gao woke up as if from a dream, and hurriedly pulled Gao Cuilan up, hurriedly left the attic and returned to the front hall.
At this time, Zhang Jianjun heard the noise and looked over curiously, and couldn't help but marvel at Gao Cuilan's beauty. She was indeed very charming, as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water.
As Mrs. Gao and Gao Cuilan hurriedly left, the dust in the attic seemed to be gently brushed away by the sudden reunion, leaving behind a warm but slightly tense atmosphere. Sun Wukong stood there, scanning the surroundings with deep eyes, making sure that he did not miss any details that might threaten the mother and daughter. After confirming that everything was correct, he followed the mother and daughter to the front hall.
In the front hall, the lights were dim and soft, adding a touch of warmth to the tense atmosphere. Zhang Jianjun had been waiting here for a long time. His eyes showed both admiration for Gao Cuilan's beauty and concern for what was about to happen. Seeing that Mrs. Gao and her daughter had returned safely, he quickly stood up and took a few steps forward. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start. In the end, he only gave a warm smile and a soft greeting: "Are you all right?"
Old Lady Gao looked at Zhang Jianjun gratefully and nodded. There were still traces of tears in her eyes, but the strength and hope had returned to her eyes. She took Gao Cuilan's hand and asked her to sit next to her. Then she turned to Sun Wukong and Zhang Jianjun and said, "Thank you for your help. My mother and I can meet each other. But the monster is very cunning. What should we do next?"
Hearing this, Sun Wukong raised a confident smile. He patted his chest and said proudly, "Old Gao, don't worry. With me here, that monster won't be able to do evil again! However, in order to completely solve the problem, we still need to learn more about the monster and how it trapped your daughter."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gao quickly told everything she knew. It turned out that the monster was originally a beast in the mountains. By chance, it became a spirit. It relied on its powerful magic power and committed evil everywhere. It first transformed into a human form and approached the Gao family with a handsome and elegant appearance, deceived Mrs. Gao's trust, and decided to marry Gao Cuilan. However, on the wedding day, it drank too much and accidentally revealed its true form, which scared away all the guests and exposed its true face.
Since then, the monster has often appeared in the Gao family, threatening Gao Cuilan's life and forcing the Gao family to surrender. The strange magic it uses is the big lock that can sense the movement of the outside world. As long as someone tries to approach the attic, the monster can immediately detect it and respond.
After listening to Mrs. Gao's narration, Sun Wukong frowned and fell into deep thought. He knew that to deal with such a monster, brute force alone was far from enough, and he had to use his wits to defeat it. So he turned to Zhang Jianjun and said, "Brother Zhang, what do you think about this?"
Although Zhang Jianjun is not a cultivator, he is smart and good at observation and analysis. After a little thought, he made a suggestion: "In my opinion, the reason why the monster is so arrogant is because it relies on its powerful magic and knows everything about the Gao family. If we want to win, we must first break this information asymmetry. We can use the cover of night to sneak into the mountains, explore the monster's lair, and understand its weaknesses."
Sun Wukong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he clapped his hands in praise, "Good idea! Brother Zhang is indeed both wise and brave. Then it's decided, we'll act tonight!"
Afterwards, the four of them sat together and began to plan the action plan for the evening in detail. Sun Wukong was responsible for attracting the monster's attention head-on, while Zhang Jianjun led Mrs. Gao and Gao Cuilan to sneak into the mountain quietly. They decided to use Gao Cuilan's understanding of monsters and Sun Wukong's magic power to find the monster's weakness together and try to subdue it.
As night fell, everything was silent. The four of them acted according to the plan. Sun Wukong deliberately made some noise in the front hall to attract the monster to come and check. Zhang Jianjun took the opportunity to take Mrs. Gao and Gao Cuilan, and quietly left the Gao family under the cover of night and headed towards the mountains.
Along the way, they carefully avoided the monster's eyes and ears, and after untold hardships, they finally found the monster's lair. There, they discovered many shocking secrets and also found the monster's fatal weakness. In the end, with the joint efforts of Sun Wukong and Zhang Jianjun, they successfully subdued the monster, rescued Gao Cuilan, and brought long-lost peace to the Gao family.
When the four returned to Gao's house, it was already daybreak. Old Mrs. Gao held Gao Cuilan's hand tightly, her eyes full of gratitude and joy. Sun Wukong and Zhang Jianjun smiled at each other, knowing that although this mission was full of dangers and challenges, their efforts and wisdom ultimately brought them victory and peace.
In the following days, the Gao family gradually restored their former peace and harmony. After experiencing this storm, Gao Cuilan became stronger and braver. She knew that only by relying on her own strength and wisdom could she truly protect herself and her family. Sun Wukong and Zhang Jianjun became her eternal heroes and role models.
