Seeing a holy monk misses life

Zhu Bajie was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he collapsed on the boat with a pale complexion and rolled back and forth: "It hurts so much! My stomach hurts so much!!"

Seeing that Zhu Bajie was in severe pain, Chu Zi walked to Zhu Bajie's side, and comforted him while calling Zhu Bajie's name.

At this time, the old woman on the ferry hurriedly asked suddenly: "Did this elder drink the water in this river?"

Zhu Bajie moaned again and again: "Drink, drink..." He held on to Chu's sleeve tightly, and replied: "I just drank half a bowl of water by myself, but now my stomach hurts!"

As soon as Zhu Bajie finished speaking, the old woman on the ferry couldn't help laughing.

Sha Wujing was very puzzled: "Why are you still laughing!"

The old woman stopped laughing and explained: "The elders don't know something. The river below us is called the Zimu River. Because our Xiliang women's country is full of women and there are no men, so after the women reach the age of twenty , will take a sip of the water in the river. As long as you drink the water in the Zimu River, you will form fetal gas in your abdomen."

As the old woman spoke, she shifted her gaze to Zhu Bajie's belly: "And there is a Yingyang Pavilion at the East Chamber Pass in our city, and there is a spring for fetal photography outside the gate of the pavilion. , you can give birth to a child." Speaking of this, the old woman couldn't help laughing again.

Zhu Bajie's pupils trembled, and he exclaimed, "Oh! What happened! What happened!" He held onto Chu Zi's sleeve tightly, and said in shock, "Master, my old pig is going to give birth to a baby!"

Chu Zi looked down at Zhu Bajie's belly, and once again silently rejoiced in her heart that she hadn't drank the water from the river just now.Otherwise, no matter how calm Chu Zi was, she would not be able to remain calm with a baby in her womb.

Zhu Bajie looked at Chu Yu miserably, and held Chu Yu's hand on his abdomen: "Master, look, he's still moving inside!"

Under Chu Zi's palm was Zhu Bajie's soft belly, and through a layer of clothes, he really felt something moving in Zhu Bajie's belly.

This man is pregnant, and it is Chu Qi, which is quite novel.

He looked at the old woman who was punting the boat, and couldn't help asking: "Old man, how can this man be able to open the delivery port? How can he get the baby out?"

As soon as Chu Zi finished speaking, the old woman on the ferry did not answer, and Sun Wukong on the side smiled and said: "Master, there is a way that is ripe, and when Bajie arrives at that time, I will be a big brother." Help him poke a hole in his stomach, and a big fat baby can be drilled out of the hole."

"Oh, no, it's the big fat piglet." After speaking, Monkey King's smile became more obvious, and even Sha Wujing, who was always reticent, laughed and said: "Second senior brother, don't panic, don't pinch, But don’t get prenatal disease when the time comes.”

Zhu Bajie glared at Sha Wujing angrily: "Junior Brother Sha, why are you joking with senior brother like this!" After finishing speaking, Zhu Bajie wailed again, and looked at Chu Zi pitifully: "Master, Master! Tell me what should I do! How can my old pig give birth to a baby!"

When Chu Zi heard Zhu Bajie's words, and then looked at Zhu Bajie's round belly, he couldn't help but want to laugh.But he was still concerned about Zhu Bajie's face, so he didn't really laugh.

He patted Zhu Bajie's shoulder lightly, and then looked at the old woman on the ferry: "Old man, can you point me to a doctor and ask my big apprentice to buy a patch of medicine for my second apprentice to give me a dozen."

However, after saying this, Chu Yu couldn't hold back after all, and burst out laughing.

Chu Xiao's usual smiles are shallow, with the corners of his mouth slightly hooked. Although he is gentle, light and elegant, there is a vague sense of distance.

He has never smiled so casually like this moment, and people can see him, as if at this moment, the sun is soft and the breeze is warm, and only this smiling monk is left in the world.

For a long time, he was unwilling to look away.

Seeing the smile on Chu Zi's face, Sun Wukong's eyes suddenly brightened: "Master, you look so pretty when you smile!"

Sha Wujing also nodded sharply, "Brother is right."

The old woman on the ferry also couldn't help covering her chest, thinking that if she was a few decades younger, she might be fascinated by this handsome monk in white and her heart beat faster, she didn't know why.

After a while, when this white-clothed monk enters the imperial city of Xiliang Women's Kingdom, there may be many charming girls who will secretly agree.

Even Zhu Bajie was stunned for a few seconds, and finally the pain in his stomach made him recover from the beauty of Master: "Oh, Master, don't laugh anymore!" I can't stand it.

Zhu Bajie looked at the old woman and said: "Old man, you can give me a trick!"

"This elder, don't panic." The old woman said with a smile: "There is a Jieyang Mountain on the South Street of our city. The water in the spring can relieve the fetal gas in this elder's belly."

Chu Qi heard the words and said to Sun Wukong: "Wukong, I need you to go to Jieyang Mountain."

Sun Wukong nodded: "Master, it's a small problem, I'll go right away."

Seeing this, the old woman on the ferry hurriedly called Sun Wukong who was about to fly away: "Elder, wait a minute." She explained: "*A few years ago, there was a Taoist in Jieyang Mountain, who was called Ruyi Zhenxian. That broken hole has been turned into his own fairy nunnery, and he protects the birth spring, and refuses to give it to others."

Chu Zi remembered that there was a Ruyi Immortal in the original book, but he had no memory of the specifics.Now, hearing what the old woman said, he guessed: "Old man, you said that the Ruyi Immortal is not willing to give kindness to others, but he needs something in exchange for the person who asks for spring water?"

The old woman nodded and said: "The elder is right. Those who go to him for spring water must bring money and silk, as well as some sheep wine and fruit plate." The old woman looked at Monkey King: "You He's a walking monk, how could there be..."

Before the old woman could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Sun Wukong: "There is no need to be so troublesome." The person who asked him to bring a generous gift to seek sincerity is probably not born yet.

Sun Wukong didn't delay, and after summoning somersaulting cloud, he said to Chu Qi: "Master, don't worry, I'll go get spring water right now, and dispel the fetal gas of that stupid pig."

After leaving this sentence, Monkey King jumped onto the somersault cloud and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The old woman blinked and exclaimed: "The elders have supernatural powers! They can even ride clouds!"

Sha Wujing smiled and said: "My elder brother is omnipotent in the world." The words were full of pride.

Chu Zi also smiled slightly: "My apprentice does have some skills."

Humming and whimpering in pain, Zhu Bajie heard his master praise Sun Wukong in front of the old woman, and said sourly: "If it wasn't for my stomachache, I would be able to go to the world." As he spoke, Zhu Bajie was in pain again Wake up.

Seeing this, Chu Zi lightly patted Zhu Bajie's shoulder again, and comforted him: "Bajie, don't talk too much."

Zhu Bajie said bitterly: "Brother, you must get the spring water quickly!"

Sha Wujing walked to Zhu Bajie's other side, knelt down and said, "Second Senior Brother, you have to trust Senior Senior Brother."

The old woman on the ferry said with a smile on her face, "That elder can fly through the clouds and fog. I think he can get the spring water and return before you arrive at the gate of our Xiliang women's country."

Chu Zi said: "Old man, does this river lead directly to the city gate?"

The old woman replied: "That's right, it leads directly to our city gate." After she finished speaking, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter: "It's really a coincidence that the elders are here today. The king's lord has newly ascended to the great treasure, and the whole country celebrates with great excitement."

When Zhu Bajie heard it, his stomach suddenly seemed to stop hurting. He sat up and asked, "Wouldn't that be a big feast?"

Chu Zi laughed a little: "Bajie."

It's this time, and I'm still thinking about eating.

The old woman looked at Zhu Bajie, "It seems that this elder is a real person." After saying that, she turned her gaze to Chu Zi again: "By the way, the old woman still doesn't know what the elder's legal name is?"

Chu Zi made a Buddhist ceremony slightly: "The poor monk's surname is Tang, and his Dharma name is Sanzang." As soon as Chu Zi finished speaking, Monkey King came back with the birth spring water, "Master, here it is."

Chu Yu took the fetal spring water, opened the cork on it, and fed the spring water to Zhu Bajie.

The spring water is very effective. After Zhu Bajie drank the spring water, his stomach pain disappeared immediately.After the abdominal pain healed, Zhu Bajie regained his refreshed look, walked up to the old woman, and asked curiously about the Xiliang Women's Kingdom, his eyes couldn't hide the excitement.

Chu Zi thought that Xiliang's women's country was full of women, and saw Zhu Bajie's excited appearance.Knowing how beautiful these two apprentices are, when the boat was fast sailing to the gate of Xiliang Nuguo, Chu Zi said to Zhu Bajie who was looking around: "Bajie, when you arrive in Xiliang Nuguo, don't let your feelings go. Follow the rules."

Zhu Bajie responded with a smile: "Master, don't worry, don't worry."

Chu Zi said to Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing again: "Wukong, Wujing, you must also be careful in your words and deeds."

Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing also responded.

Soon, Zhu Ba, who was in good spirits, pointed to the city gate which was about 100 meters away: "Master, look quickly, we have arrived."

Chu Xun followed Zhu Bajie's line of sight and looked straight ahead, only to see four big characters written on the tall city gate——Xiliang Women's Kingdom.

On both sides of the city gate, there are many ships parked.These boats are large and small, and many women stand on them, holding delicate colored paper or flowing handkerchiefs in their hands.On the canopy of the boat are hung various red lanterns and red knots, which look very festive.

Before getting close, Chu Zhu heard the delicate and cheerful laughter unique to women, which was clear and sweet.

Zhu Bajie laughed heartily: "There are a lot of women!" His neck stretched so long that his eyes were almost glued to these women.

Chu Zi pursed her lips slightly, and glanced at Zhu Bajie lightly.

Zhu Bajie immediately restrained the expression on his face, and sat down beside Chu Yu in a well-behaved manner.

Sun Wukong snorted softly: "Stupid pig."

Not to be outdone, Zhu Bajie clicked his tongue, and muttered in a low voice: "You Bi Mawen, you know nothing." This monkey jumped out of the stone, how could it know the beauty of human love.

The boat was getting closer and closer to the city gate. The women on the boats on both sides looked at the four masters and apprentices on the boat, and chatted with their companions in novelty: "Look, look, it's a man!"

They wore long skirts and short jackets, with beautiful faces and beautiful hairpins on their heads. After carefully looking at the four master and apprentice with curious eyes, Qi Qi stopped his gaze on Chu Zi's face. Some extroverted women even laughed and applauded: "That one in white looks good!"

Being watched so straightforwardly by so many women, the most important thing is that these women looked at them as if they were looking at a new race. Even Chu Zi felt a little uncomfortable.

"That looks really good-looking in white. Are all men this good-looking?"

"No way, look at the chubby one next to the man in white, with big ears and a big nose, does it look like a pig?"

"And that red-haired man, who looks fierce."

"The man with half-tied hair is also good-looking, tall and big, but he also looks fierce."

"That's why the man in white is the prettiest. For some reason, seeing him makes my heart speed up a lot."

"Haha you're blushing, you're blushing."

Amidst the women's charming laughter and chatter, the four masters and apprentices entered the city gate of Xiliang Women's Kingdom, and after the old woman on the ferry docked the boat, the four of them disembarked.

And these women in Xiliang Women's Country are not afraid of life, but those who hear laughter will block their way.It was precisely because there were so many women onlookers that they almost filled the street, it was difficult for the four of them to move even an inch.

"They're all so tall!"

"Yes, yes, much taller than us."

These women leaned towards Chu Yu while talking: "Look at how tall this man in white is."

"The legs are also very long, straight and straight."

"The lines of the shoulders and neck are really pretty, but I don't know if the waist is thin or not."

"A man's waist is definitely not as thin as our women's. I heard that men's waists are hard, and their bodies are also hard."

"Hard? Isn't that like a rock?"

"Touch it and you'll know."

Hearing these women's bold words, even Chu Yu was a little ashamed, he couldn't help speeding up his march, trying to avoid these women who were approaching him, avoiding their touch.

However, because there were too many people around, even though Chu Zi was very careful, some women still touched her arms and back while pushing and shoving.

Not only Chu Zi, but even Monkey King was not spared.

Fortunately, Sun Wukong's face turned cold, and his body exuded a cold air that should not be approached by strangers, which scared away those women who tried to reach out out of curiosity.

Then he turned around quickly, and while preventing these women from getting close to him, he said: "Master, get on the horse quickly."

When Chu Zi heard this, she didn't care whether it was wrong to ride a horse on the street, so she simply got on her horse neatly.

And Sha Wujing let out a big yell, making a fierce look to open the way.

Among the four masters and apprentices, only Zhu Bajie looked happy.He parted the corners of his mouth to show his white teeth, and he smiled happily. He didn't have the obedient behavior when he sat beside Chu Zi before.

Chu Zi glanced at Zhu Bajie who was walking behind Sha Wujing, and shook his head slightly.Forget it, there are women all around here, if Zhu Bajie can be completely honest, it would be a little strange.

In this Xiliang women's country, apart from the fact that these women are overly enthusiastic because they are curious about their men's identities, other things, especially the scenery and environment, actually give Chu Zi a good feeling.

Whether it is a blue-gray stone arch bridge, a chic house with white walls and black tiles, or a quiet gurgling stream, there is a beauty like the mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

Small bridges and flowing water are graceful and elegant.

＊＊＊＊＊＊

The post station of Xiliang Nuguo is located at the Dongxiang Pass in the city. This post station is the Yingyang Pavilion post that the old woman on the ferry said.

Yingyang Pavilion Station is not far from the city gate of Xiliang Women's Kingdom. If you walk, it will take at most two quarters of an hour.However, because the four masters and apprentices were surrounded by women on the street, the two-quarter-hour journey took almost half an hour.

When they arrived at Yingyang Guanyi, Chu Xiao revealed his identity to the female officer standing at the gate of the Guanyi, and the female officer immediately led the four masters and apprentices to meet the Yicheng of Yingyang Guanyi.

This Yicheng looks to be in his forties, with regular facial features, delicate features, and a kind of gentleness and elegance on his body.

When she saw Chu Qi and the other four men, she was not as surprised and curious as the other women. It was probably because she was in charge of recording foreign envoys, so she looked calm.

Her eyes swept over the four masters and apprentices, and finally stopped on Chu Wei, and said with a slight smile: "Four elders, please take a seat."

After the words were finished, she asked the female officer beside her to watch tea for the four masters and apprentices.

Chu Yu took the tea from the female officer and thanked her.

The female officer's pretty face flushed suddenly, and she retreated a little shyly.But before leaving, he still couldn't help turning his head to look at Chu Zi again.

Seeing this, Yicheng shook her head slightly: "I made the elders laugh." After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze back to Chu Zi, and asked softly: "The four elders came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, I don't know what the legal name is?"

Chu Zi said slowly: "The poor monk's surname is Tang, and his Dharma name is Sanzang. This is my great apprentice Sun Wukong, and this is my second apprentice Zhu Bajie and my third apprentice Sha Wujing." Speaking of this, Chu Zi paused for a moment. He gestured to Monkey King with his eyes.

Monkey King nodded, and quickly took out the clearance document and handed it to Yingyang Yicheng.

After Yingyang Yicheng took over the certificate of customs clearance from Sun Wukong, Chu Zi continued: "We are a party of five, and we have the certificate of customs clearance from King Tang with us. Wang Yicheng will present this certificate to Her Majesty the Queen. , Your Majesty, please affix the seal on the customs clearance document and change the customs document."

Yingyang Yicheng opened the customs clearance document, and after carefully reading it, he smiled and said, "Elder, you are an eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty and the younger brother of the Tang king. I need you to come with me into the palace and meet my king."

Chu Qi lowered his eyes to think, but did not immediately respond.

He vaguely remembered that in the original novel of Journey to the West, the queen of Xiliang Women's Kingdom was the saddest catastrophe for Tang Sanzang.Everything in this world is where love comes from, what love loves most, and love is the most difficult pass among all disasters.

Although Chu Zi is not Tang Sanzang in the original book, but if possible, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, he actually does not want to have any contact with the Queen of Xiliang Women's Kingdom.

However, at the moment, according to the meaning of the Yi Cheng, he is required to hand over the customs clearance document to the queen himself.Moreover, the other party moved Tang Wang out in a few words. If he didn't agree to come down, it would be rude.

Thinking of this, Chu Yu slightly nodded and said: "Then Lao Yicheng will lead the way."

Yicheng stood up and returned the customs clearance document to Chu Zi, then saluted Chu Zi: "Please come with me, holy monk."

Under the guidance of Yingyang Yicheng, the four masters and apprentices got on the carriage and came all the way to the palace.However, Yi Cheng did not bring Chu Zi and the others to the main hall, but led them through the elegant corridors to the outside of a spacious and beautiful garden.

Zhu Bajie looked left and right and said, "This is like an imperial garden."

Yingyang Yicheng smiled and said: "This elder Zhu is right." She looked at Chu Qi, bowed slightly, and explained: "Today, my king Xindeng Dabao is listening to the piano and enjoying music in the imperial garden. Wait here for a moment, I'll go in and play the Queen."

Chu Zi returned a salute: "Please trouble Yicheng."

After Yicheng entered, Zhu Bajie looked around more and more recklessly. The outer wall of the imperial garden was vermilion, and the gazebo willows inside could be faintly seen.

Zhu Bajie said excitedly: "Master, I can smell the aroma of the food and also hear the beautiful sound of the pipa."

Chu Zi didn't smell the aroma, but the sound of the pipa could be heard clearly.The melody of this pipa is smart and elegant, but it will feel quiet and pleasant when you first listen to it. If you listen carefully, you will find that the sound of this pipa is a bit empty and lifeless, as if it lacks some soul.

＊＊＊＊＊＊

At this moment, in the imperial garden.

A woman in a bright yellow dress sat on a throne covered with soft silk. Her jet-black hair was coiled into delicate flowing clouds, and she wore a crown of red feathers and laurel.

Her face is like a delicate hibiscus flower, her eyes are full of spring water, and her skin is like cream.Every gesture shows the dignified atmosphere of a king without losing the tenderness and gracefulness of a woman.

It is the new king of Xiliang women's country.

Right below the queen stands a woman in red with a pipa in her hand.The queen praised the woman's melodious pipa sound, and was about to ask the woman to play another piece for her, when Yingyang Yicheng stepped forward to play——

"Your Majesty, I have something to do with you."

The queen waved her hand to signal the woman in red to go down, and then looked at Yi Cheng who came in: "What do you want to play?" She spoke slowly, her voice was melodious.

Seeing the queen, Yingyang Yicheng knelt down to salute and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, a holy monk from the Tang Dynasty has come to our country to see His Majesty, and he is waiting outside the Imperial Garden to see you."

"Oh?" The Queen's eyes were slightly bent when she heard the words, and a smile rose from the corner of her lips, and she whispered: "The holy monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty..."

Immediately, she didn't know what she thought of, looked at the woman standing at the bottom right of the throne, and said, "Last night, I dreamed that the golden screen was colorful and the jade mirror was shining brightly. What does the national teacher think this is a sign of?"

The woman called the national teacher by the queen was dressed in a light blue embroidered robe. Her face was beautiful and handsome, and there was a heroic look between her brows.

She is also tall and tall, which is rarely seen in Xiliang women's country. Her jet-black hair is scattered behind her back, and she is only half tied with a wooden hairpin.In addition, there is no other decoration on the whole body.

"Your Majesty, it should be a good omen." The cold voice came out of the national teacher's mouth, which was deeper than the average woman's voice, and lighter than the average man's voice.

Kind of like an androgynous neutral.

The queen seemed very satisfied with the teacher's answer, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter. She turned her gaze back to Yi Cheng, and signaled to Yi Cheng, "Please come quickly, the holy monk."
