That night, the entire Gao Family Village knew that Old Gao's son-in-law was actually a pig demon.
That Gao Cuilan had actually married a pig!
For the simple and honest people of Gao Family Village, this was definitely an absurd and unbelievable event.
Old Gao, in an instant, went from a respected elder to the laughingstock of everyone.
While this didn't greatly harm others, the person most hurt was Gao Cuilan.
In this feudal society, a woman's purity and reputation were more important than her life, but now everyone in Gao Family Village knew that Gao Cuilan had actually married a pig!
Not to mention whether Gao Cuilan could ever marry again, rumors were already spreading throughout the town that the Gao family's third daughter was a woman of loose morals.
Otherwise, how could she have been targeted by a pig demon?
Why wouldn't the pig demon target someone else, and instead targeted Gao Cuilan?
Flies don't bite seamless eggs!
Furthermore, Gao Cuilan had already kowtowed and married Zhu Ganglie in front of countless people, which made the rumors even more rampant.
In feudal society, rumors were more terrifying than a sharp sword.
Especially for a fragile woman.
After enduring scorn and gossip, Gao Cuilan finally couldn't bear the humiliation.
One day, Gao Cuilan took a three-foot white silk rope from before Old Gao's eyes and, under Old Gao's gaze, walked into her room.
However, just as Gao Cuilan, with tears in her eyes, was about to kick away the stool, a gust of demonic wind blew in, and a strong figure rescued Gao Cuilan.
Since revealing his true form, Zhu Ganglie hadn't actually fled back to the mountains; he still wanted to salvage the situation, he hadn't given up.
He had been secretly guarding Gao Cuilan.
Many times, when those rumors hurt Gao Cuilan, Zhu Ganglie wanted to rush out and kill everyone, to let those gossiping women know how to spell death!
However, he couldn't do that, because that would further reduce his chances of getting Gao Cuilan back.
At this moment, Zhu Ganglie held Gao Cuilan in his arms, looking at her nervously,
"Lalan, please don't think so negatively, okay?"
Zhu Ganglie was already being as gentle as possible.
However, when Gao Cuilan opened her eyes and saw that it was actually Zhu Ganglie who had saved her.
Instantly, Gao Cuilan's eyes were filled with hatred, and even tears of blood flowed from the corners of her eyes.
In person, Gao Cuilan spoke six words that broke Zhu Ganglie's heart.
"Zhu Ganglie… I hate you!!"
Gritting her teeth, a deep-seated hatred!
In an instant, Zhu Ganglie lost all his strength.
No one could know what he was feeling now.
To obtain the simplest happiness, he had bitten and killed his parents, and with great difficulty, cultivated to take human form, working diligently and conscientiously in Gao Family Village for several years.
He thought that he was finally going to get someone who truly loved him, and someone he deeply loved.
Even if it was just one person's heart, that was his only extravagance.
But now, he had received the hatred of the person he loved most, a deep-seated hatred!
He… was already in despair.
The next second, the Gao family courtyard suddenly exploded.
Zhu Ganglie carried Gao Cuilan and rushed to the back of the residence, his voice spreading around,
"From now on, I, Zhu Ganglie, will live in the back of the residence! I am the Gao family's son-in-law! Whoever dares to hurt my wife, I will make him die without a burial place!"
Zhu Ganglie had reached the last step.
Although Gao Cuilan hated him, Zhu Ganglie didn't want Gao Cuilan to die.
Even if this would put Gao Cuilan in an even more inescapable situation, this was the only thing Zhu Ganglie could do.
At night, Zhu Ganglie lowered his head, saw the moon in the well, and suddenly thought of the words of the white-robed immortal that day.
"You… cannot escape…"
Zhu Ganglie suddenly felt a sense of suffocation, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
Don't say you weren't warned…
Zhu Ganglie had tried to escape reality, but now there was no way to retreat.
Suddenly, a pure white light appeared before Zhu Ganglie's eyes.
Before Zhu Ganglie, appeared a fairy-like, otherworldly white gauze Bodhisattva.
Without saying a word, Zhu Ganglie raised his Nine-Toothed Rake and struck!
However, in mid-air, a lotus flower was thrown down, separating the rake.
Guan Yin Bodhisattva's cold voice rang in Zhu Ganglie's ears,
"Evil creature, why don't you surrender quickly!"
When Zhu Ganglie heard this voice, his heart grew even colder.
Although he had the momentary impulse to fight Guan Yin Bodhisattva to the death, he impulsively swung his Nine-Toothed Rake.
But Guan Yin Bodhisattva didn't even reveal a bit of her strength and knocked away his Nine-Toothed Rake.
There was no power to resist.
Unable to resist, he could only passively accept.
Zhu Ganglie quickly put on a fearful face, raised his head, and shouted loudly, "Bodhisattva, forgive me, forgive me!"
Guan Yin Bodhisattva slowly descended from the clouds, pretending to ask:
"Where did you, a wild boar who became a spirit, a monstrous old hog, dare to block me here?"
Zhu Ganglie roared in his heart, Damn Western Sect, they really came!
But Zhu Ganglie wasn't stupid; resisting now was meaningless.
Even though Zhu Ganglie was certain that Guan Yin Bodhisattva had secretly manipulated him to reveal his true form.
Zhu Ganglie suppressed all the hatred in his heart, and a false look of panic and awe appeared on his face, saying:
"I am not a wild boar, nor am I an old hog. I was originally Marshal Tianpeng of the Milky Way. Just because I flirted with Chang'e while drunk, the Jade Emperor beat me two thousand times and demoted me to the mortal realm. My true spirit came to seize a body and be reborn, but unexpectedly, I took the wrong path and was born into a sow, becoming like this. It was I who bit and killed the sow and killed all the piglets, occupying this mountain and eating people to survive. Unexpectedly, I ran into the Bodhisattva, I beg you to save me, save me."
Zhu Ganglie only said what everyone wanted to hear.
He knew that even if he told the truth, that the Supreme Lord Lao Tzu had sentenced him to be a pig, who would uphold justice for him?
On the contrary, Guan Yin Bodhisattva would only laugh at him.
Everyone would laugh at him!
Zhu Ganglie was filled with despair. In Zhu Ganglie's eyes, this merciful and compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva was a complete demon.
But he had to bow his head to the demon who had personally destroyed his dream, and even ask her to save him. This helplessness and sorrow made Zhu Ganglie feel extremely despairing.
Seeing that Zhu Ganglie had completely succumbed, Guan Yin Bodhisattva simply skipped the lines and went straight to the point:
"I have received the Buddha's decree to go to the Eastern Land to find a scripture seeker. You can become his disciple and go to the Western Paradise, atone for your sins, and I will teach you to escape the disaster."
Zhu Ganglie lowered his head and gritted his teeth, "I am willing, I am willing!"
The Bodhisattva then touched his head and gave him the precepts, designated his surname as Zhu, and gave him the Dharma name Zhu Wuneng.
After the Bodhisattva left, Zhu Ganglie raised his head and looked at the round moon.
The look in Zhu Ganglie's eyes slowly changed from despair to… rage!
"Prison God, you said I couldn't escape, then I won't escape!"
"Western Paradise, you ruined me and humiliated me, I will never stand with you!"
"I, Zhu Ganglie, will definitely stain the Vulture Peak with blood! I will avenge my own grudges!"
