Gourmet daily life with Monkey [Journey to the West]

Early the next morning, Tang Seng and the others headed towards the imperial city.Tao Tao has walked this road several times, so she leads the way with Monkey King.

Along the way, Monkey King also showed off his achievements yesterday. It turned out that he didn't kill the Taoist nun, but just beat her nose and face bruised and broke an arm.

"You monkey head is too aggressive, then Ruyi is a girl after all, how can you ruin someone's appearance?" Tang Seng shook his head and reprimanded.

Sun Wukong said unconvinced: "Master really doesn't hurt my back when I stand and talk. If my grandson doesn't hit harder, how can she let me go? You don't know that she will kill me with every move. Do I still stick my head out?" Let her cut it in the past? It just left her with a bruised nose and a broken arm, which is already merciful."

"You are the most polite." Tang Seng was choked and speechless, and it took him a long while before he muttered angrily.

Zhu Bajie approached Sun Wukong and asked in a low voice: "Brother Monkey, is Ruyi beautiful or not? If you are a great beauty, if you beat her like this, my brother will criticize you."

"If you want to know whether she is pretty or not, go and watch it by yourself. Maybe you, a pig, will be reluctant to leave after seeing it." Sun Wukong was really angry. This idiot cared about the wrong place, right?

Zhu Bajie shook his fan, with an inscrutable expression on his face, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Tao Tao jokingly said: "You said that you are all monks, but yesterday's miscarriage killed a few people, how should this matter be counted?"

Sun Wukong quickly put aside the responsibility: "Old Sun is not a monk, he even ate meat, so what's so strange about having a baby?"

"Brother, I'm not a monk either. Little sister, is it possible that you still expect me to give birth to a pig?" Zhu Bajie flicked Tao Tao's forehead and said resentfully.

Tao Tao couldn't help laughing, and took a closer look at Monkey King and Zhu Bajie, thinking that if these two really gave birth to a fetus, it should be a handsome little monkey, or a scary little piglet.

Inexplicably, she was looking forward to it, but she couldn't figure out where to start from.

However, Tang Seng's face changed. Tang Seng is an out-and-out monk, and the last thing he should do is to hurt people's lives.But yesterday, for the sake of his own reputation and continuing to learn scriptures, he dropped the fetus in his stomach.

"Amitabha, Amitabha...Tao Zi, do you think you have committed murder as a teacher? Such a serious crime, what qualifications does a teacher have to go to learn scriptures and meet the Tathagata Buddha? What qualifications do you have to obtain the scriptures and teach them?" People in the world? The crime is serious..."

"Master, don't be overthinking it!" Tao Tao was a little panicked, she didn't expect that Tang Seng would feel so guilty for a joke of her own, and she wanted to apologize by herself.

She immediately warned: "Actually, I am talking nonsense. You have only been pregnant for a few hours, and the fetus has not yet formed. At most, it can be regarded as condensed fetal gas, and it is not considered murder at all!"

"You don't need to comfort the teacher, you can feel the movement in your stomach..." Tang Seng wiped his tears as he spoke: "The teacher not only committed murder, but also killed his own child... "

Tao Tao rubbed her forehead with her hand, she really wanted to slap herself, why would she talk about the miscarriage?

She gave Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie a wink, and the two brothers immediately ran to the white horse, one on the left and the other on the right, to warn them.

Monkey King said: "Master, you are too strict with yourself. Logically speaking, as long as the baby is not born, he is not a human being. Since you are not a human being, how can you commit murder?"

Zhu Bajie echoed: "That's right, and our brothers have eaten people before..."

"Idiot, you've eaten, old grandson hasn't, so don't take me with you." Sun Wukong glared at Zhu Bajie.

Sha Wujing said in a low voice, "I've eaten it too."

Zhu Bajie seemed to have found an ally, put his arm on Sha Wujing's shoulder and said with a smile: "Look, Master, Junior Brother Sha and I have both eaten people before, but we have changed our ways since then. Haven't you forgiven us? The sins we committed There are more than you, and besides, you are not guilty of murder at all."

Tang Seng wiped away his tears, but remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Sun Wukong said again: "Master, if you really can't pass this test, you can recite Buddhist scriptures for him every night and let him reincarnate into a better family in his next life."

"That's the only way to go." Tang Seng finally responded this time, as if he had found a little spark of hope.

In this way, they finally entered the city, which naturally attracted a lot of onlookers, but with Monkey King clearing the way, there was no congestion.

Before arriving at the palace, let the head of the guard go in to report. The head of the guard actually said that he had received His Majesty's order a long time ago, and he was waiting for them here.

"Weird, how did Your Majesty know that we would come today?" Zhu Bajie couldn't figure it out, so he whispered.

Tao Tao suddenly thought of something, but she couldn't be sure, she just said: "We made a big fuss in Ruyi Temple yesterday, it must be that Ruyi lady went to complain to His Majesty. I always feel that today's schedule may not be too smooth."

"Then what should we do? If His Majesty doesn't seal us, we won't be able to leave the Xiliang Kingdom. Wukong, you really beat someone yesterday with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and even broke an arm?" Tang Seng became worried, what if What if Empress Ruyi wants to take revenge?

Monkey King said indifferently: "At worst, I'll break an arm myself, and beat myself black and blue."

"Don't talk nonsense, maybe it's not what we think at all." Tang Seng still loves his apprentice, so naturally he can't see Monkey King becoming like that.

The group of people was finally brought to the main hall. It was already past the morning time, and all civil and military officials had retreated. Only His Majesty of the Man'er Kingdom was still sitting on the dragon chair.

Just about to salute, when she raised her eyes and saw the man on the dragon chair, Tao Tao couldn't help but widen her eyes: Ruqian!

Sure enough it was him!

The speculation in his heart has become reality, Tao Tao is still a little unbelievable, Ruqian at this time is also very different from yesterday, he was gentle and amiable yesterday, but today he is more majestic, that belongs to the Ninth Five momentum.

Wearing a deep purple dragon robe, he was as rich as jade, with a noble air, but just sitting there quietly, he released a dazzling brilliance.

She didn't know why Ruqian was in Ruyi Temple yesterday, but when she saw him, she felt a glimmer of hope in her heart, maybe Ruqian wouldn't embarrass them.

"I have met your majesty. The poor monk Tang Sanzang came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty and passed by your country to meet your majesty. I hope your majesty will allow my master and disciples to pass by your country." Tang Seng did not know the reason, so he followed the etiquette to meet him.

Monkey King and the other three also saluted, but Zhu Bajie looked unhappy, wondering if he found that his handsomeness had been challenged.

"The holy monk from the Eastern Land came from afar. I should treat him with courtesy and give him a seat." Ruqian obviously also saw Tao Tao, and deliberately smiled at her.Little did they know that this smile immediately fell into the eyes of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, and they couldn't help but feel vigilant.

Tao Tao smiled back, feeling that Ruqian was still the same Ruqian.

The palace servants moved some chairs for everyone to sit on. Tang Seng took out the customs clearance document and presented it, but Ruqian just pressed the document and didn't even look at it.

"Actually, Miss Taozi and I have met at Ruyi Temple yesterday. Miss Taozi is kind and polite. In order to help a few pregnancies, she went to Ruyi Temple and suffered some grievances. Now I see a few pregnancies, and my heart is broken." The stone fell to the ground." Ruqian actually praised Tao Tao in public, which made Tao Tao a little embarrassed.

Sun Wukong suddenly realized that the majesty of this man's country is the Ruqian that Taozi mentioned yesterday!Just judging from Ruqian's attitude, his feelings towards Taozi seem to be a little different.

"Your Majesty is absurd. Master and senior brother have taken good care of me all the way. It is only right for me to take care of them this time. I came to see Your Majesty today, and I hope that Your Majesty can put a seal on the customs clearance document and let me wait. Approved." Seeing Ruqian holding down the paperwork, Tao Tao felt a little worried.

Anyway, that mean Taoist nun is also an expert in the man's country, and she is also Ruqian's sister-in-law.If Ruqian really made things difficult, it would be very difficult for them to leave Men'er Country.

Ruqian smiled and said: "It's not urgent, you just came to my Xiliang country, and I plan to show you more about the scenery of our country. My Xiliang country is different from other countries. There are only men and no women in the country, and the future generations will continue. Or rely on a strange kind of peach. Now that I see you all, I have an idea."

"You don't need to say what you think, the old pig will never agree!" Among the few people, Zhu Bajie is definitely the one who is most proficient and sensitive to the relationship between men and women.

From just now, he discovered that His Majesty had no good intentions for his sister, and now he pointed it out directly.Hmph, a mere mortal dares to miss his sister so much, does he really think that his brother doesn't exist?

"Bajie, just listen to what His Majesty has to say." Tang Seng was afraid of offending Ruqian, so he reprimanded Zhu Bajie in a low voice.

Zhu Bajie was a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything more.

Ru Qian's face was a little embarrassed, and he paused before saying: "I also know that this request is very abrupt, but please believe that this is definitely a decision I made after careful consideration."

He looked at Tao Tao, his eyes were full of joy and admiration, Tao Tao thought about it, and thought that this Ruqian must have taken a fancy to her, right?Damn duck, don't be so bloody!

"After tasting the delicious food made by Taozi yesterday, I have been obsessed with it. I am willing to ask Miss Taozi to stay in my man's country as an imperial cook at the price of ten thousand taels of gold. I know that this has wronged Miss Taozi, so if the girl has other requests , and I will do my best to satisfy you.”

"Ah?" Tao Tao, Monkey King, and Zhu Bajie were stunned.

Tang Seng looked surprised, and Sha Wujing snorted coldly.

Tao Tao blushed suddenly, this Ruqian really didn't play the cards according to common sense, but she still narcissistically thought that the other party was interested in her, but it turned out that she was interested in her cooking skills.

The same is true for Zhu Bajie, but it also shows that Ruqian really has bad intentions for his sister!

"No! Absolutely not! If my sister stays to cook for you, who will cook for us?" Zhu Bajie objected on the spot. There was no delicious food made of peaches along the way, so what energy would he have to continue to learn from it?Not even a salted fish.

Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing nodded again and again, anyone can stay, except Taozi.

Tao Tao declined: "Your Majesty, if you really like my food, I can train your royal chef for a few days alone. I believe that with their skills, they will soon be able to cook something as delicious as mine. .”

"Your Majesty promised you such a generous condition and you didn't agree? You really don't know how to flatter you! If that's the case, follow my terms!" A stern female voice suddenly came from behind the crowd, and Tao Tao and Monkey King frowned slightly. When I turned around, I knew that it was Empress Ruyi who had come.

It seems that this catastrophe cannot be avoided after all, Ruyi has great influence in the man's country, otherwise Ruqian would not recognize her as a righteous sister.

Zhu Bajie and others all turned their heads, and sure enough, they saw a cold-faced nun in her early twenties limping in.The nun's appearance was a bit harsh, and now her eyes were black and blue, and her arm was still hung in front of her chest with gauze.

Seeing her like this, Tang Seng and others immediately knew her identity, and couldn't help looking at Monkey King.

"Sister Yi, you were injured and rested in Ruyi Temple. Why are you still here? I have my own opinions on things here." Ruqian saw her coming, but he got up to greet her personally, and asked the palace servants to move again. A chair comes.

Ruyi sneered and said: "Your Majesty's affairs, I dare not intervene, and I came here to ask for an explanation. Monkey King injured me to this point and even stole my fairy peach, this matter must not be left alone! "

Sun Wukong glanced at her, snorted and said, "At worst, I'll just stand here and let you punch me a few times. If you don't like it, you can punch me for an hour, but don't threaten me with customs clearance documents. Old Sun's temper But it’s not very good, if you accidentally hurt you again, you may not even have the chance to stand here.”

"You still dare to threaten me? Sun Wukong, do you really think I can do nothing to you? If you dare to attack me again, you will never even think about leaving Xiliang Kingdom in your life!" Ruyi was completely angry. Add it together and forget it. "It's true that you are amazing, but your master is just a mortal. If you want him to die, you just need to move your fingers!"

"The old grandson will kill you now!" Sun Wukong was also angry, and he was about to take out the golden cudgel immediately, while Ruqian and Tang Seng pulled one and separated the two.

Tang Seng advised: "Wukong, calm down."

Ru Qian also said: "Sister Yi, you haven't reached that point yet, so calm down."

"Hmph!" Sun Wukong and Ruyi looked at each other with disgust, and Qi Qi turned their heads away.

Ruyi persisted and said: "Now I will give you two choices, you only need to satisfy one of them, and the customs clearance document can be stamped with a jade seal now."

"Ms. Ruyi, please tell me." Tang Seng said kindly.

Empress Ruyi looked at Tang Seng with a malicious smile and said, "First, you commit suicide now; second, let your big disciple Sun Wukong eat the peaches now and have a baby in three days. You can choose yourself!"

"This..." Tang Sengjun's face turned pale. If he committed suicide, how could he learn the scriptures?Just relying on these greedy and mischievous apprentices, how can they have the patience to go to the west?

I'm afraid that once he dies, several people will divide their luggage and go their separate ways.

It is even more impossible to let Wukong have a child. How did Wukong suffer such humiliation?The nun clearly insulted him on purpose.

Sun Wu was so angry that he wanted to take out the golden cudgel again. This mean Taoist nun is really deceiving!Even Zhu Bajie turned cold this time, this Taoist temple is really more hateful than monsters.

"Sister Yi, aren't these two conditions too high for you?" Ru Qian frowned slightly, why did he want him to commit suicide the moment he opened his mouth?If Sun Wukong was willing to have a baby, he wouldn't have gone to the Ruyi Temple yesterday to beg Xiantao to conceive.

Ruyi smiled triumphantly and said, "Your Majesty thinks my sister's conditions are too high? That's fine. If Your Majesty can persuade Tao Tao to be your royal chef, my two conditions will be automatically voided."

Ru Qian was speechless, Tao Tao had already refused just now, how could she agree again?He sneaked a look at Tao Tao, in fact, letting her stay as the imperial cook was just a way to slow down the army. A lovely and beautiful girl like Tao Tao is the best candidate for the queen.

He wanted to boil the frog in warm water, and after Tao Tao got used to the life in the man's country, he would propose marriage.

Monk Tang and his disciples looked at each other. It was impossible for them to agree to any of these three conditions, but if the stalemate persisted, they would be the ones who would suffer.

"Your Majesty, please allow our master and apprentice to discuss this matter, and then give us a reply?" Tang Seng thought of a plan to delay the attack. He knew that Sun Wukong had many ideas, and after thinking about it, maybe there was another way.

"Of course. You can stay in the palace during this time, so that you can let me know when you figure it out." Ru Qian was secretly delighted. In this way, he could eat Taotao's delicacies a few more times.

After being taken to a luxurious palace by the palace people, Sun Wukong dismissed all the palace people, and the master and apprentice closed the door to discuss countermeasures.

Tang Seng anxiously said: "What should I do this time? The three requirements put forward by Your Majesty and Empress Ruyi are really too difficult. Although I can die as a teacher, I dare not pin my hope of learning scriptures on you. As long as there is a few people who are sincere to the Buddha, they are willing to die as teachers."

"Master, don't say such depressing words, where is it your turn to commit suicide?" Sun Wukong dispelled Tang Seng's worries.

Zhu Bajie asked suspiciously: "Brother Monkey, are you really going to have a baby? How can you give birth to a big man? After all, you won't be born as a human, so it should be a little monkey?"

Sun Wukong glared at Zhu Bajie fiercely, and smiled angrily: "You should let your dead pig live, and you will definitely give birth to a big fat pig."

"That's absolutely impossible. I'm a handsome old pig. Even if I give birth to a baby, I'll still be a cute little pig." Zhu Bajie shook his fan with a confident face.

Tao Tao was speechless, and begged: "Be more serious, and find a way."

They were discussing countermeasures, and Ruqian also went to a secret room in the harem.Not to mention the kingdom of men, even in the imperial palace, few people know about this secret room.

Ruqian knocked on the door politely, and when he heard "Come in" from inside, he opened the door and entered.

The secret room turned out to be spacious and bright. There was only one person living in the huge room, and she was a charming and beautiful woman.

Ruqian said kindly: "I hope that my sudden visit will not disturb the national teacher, but this time it is urgent, and I hope the national teacher can help me."
