Hearing Chen's sarcastic remarks, Xuanzang looked rather awkward. Chen Qing also looked troubled as he said to Xuanzang, "Master, perhaps you should look for another place to stay. There really are no demons here. Our Chen Family Village has lived here for generations, and we have never heard of any monsters around."
"Patron, the demon hasn't arrived yet," Xuanzang replied. "Give it two or three days, and it will surely come. When that time comes, the demon will demand boys and girls as sacrifices from the villages on the east bank of the Tongtian River. This poor monk has come here specifically to subdue that monster."
Chen sneered, "Even if there are demons, I reckon they were brought here by the likes of you just to scrounge for free food and drink!"
