[Journey to the West] The male protagonist is under a lot of pressure

After asking the question almost subconsciously, Chai Xi immediately went up to meet him, but Monkey King waved his hand to prevent her from approaching any further.She only stopped a few steps away from them, and after two or three seconds full of worry and apprehension, she finally couldn't help asking.

"What happened?"

"Master was taken away by that monster," Sun Wukong replied, with a lot of gnashing of teeth in his tone, "When my grandson found out the situation and went to snatch him, she didn't know what weapon she used on his head during the fight. I stabbed it a little, and it caused me such a headache now."

...It's not a weapon, it's scorpion poison.

Chai Xi knew it in his heart, but he couldn't just say it so clearly.

"Then..." She took a deep breath, "What should I do next?"

"Don't worry," Sha Wujing answered. He looked at Sun Wukong, who was still suffering unbearably. "Brother, you first sneaked in by turning into a bee. Master married her. Judging from her appearance, she should not have the intention of eating Master, and Master is a true monk, and she will not be disturbed by this."

"Speaking of which, Great Sage, you are like this now," Chai Xi hesitated, "There is no way to fight her anymore, right?"

"Of course there is no way," his voice sounded a little weak, "if the headache subsides, we will have tomorrow morning. We can only go to rest for a while, and we can save Master when the headache subsides tomorrow morning." .”

Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha helped Monkey King back to the room, and when they came out, she signaled them to go downstairs to discuss with her first, and let Monkey King rest well.

Out of Chai Xi's intention, they simply came directly to the main hall where the king of the Daughter Kingdom was, and first told her the general situation.

Of course, at least in order not to make her feel dangerous, there is only a part of the real situation.

"So," after listening to what they said, the queen looked a little unhappy, "it will be impossible to rescue that Elder Tang for a while."

"...That's right, and that monster can still breathe smoke and fire." Regarding this point, Chai Xi truthfully told the situation he heard from Monk Sha, "I don't think it will be easy to solve, Letting her stay around here is not good for the common people. But please rest assured, Your Majesty, there will always be a solution to the matter."

Because no matter how bad it is, there is Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Thinking of this, Chai Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had never been very happy with the Bodhisattva, she knew that neither Sun Wukong nor Tang Sanzang would ignore the other party.This time the Great Sage was stung by a scorpion essence, the poison should not be strong, one night... probably enough.

She couldn't remember exactly what the scorpion spirit would do, but from Monk Sha's message, it wasn't just three-pronged prongs and simple smoke and fire.

The next few people in the hall were relatively silent. Monk Sha may have seen the power of monsters, and he was full of worry at this time; and Zhu Bajie, he didn't know whether it was too easy to relax or too easy. Lost in ecstasy, he sneaked a glance at the king of the Daughter Kingdom from time to time, and was so angry that Chai Xi didn't want to pinch him anymore, and wanted to kick him directly in the leg.

She sighed, and couldn't help worrying about the situation of Monkey King in the room.

It should be solved after a while, right?

At this time, a guard hurried over.

"My lord," she said with a salute, "an old mother is asking for a visit outside the post, hoping to meet some elders and this girl."

The queen glanced at Chaixi first when she heard the words, and nodded after seeing the unquestionable expression on her face: "Let her in."

After a while, the guard brought up the elderly man. She was about sixty years old, her face was full of wrinkles, and she walked slowly behind the guard with a cane in her hand. Not in a hurry or panic, and even with a little smile.

"About that monster, I have something to tell you."

As soon as she stood still, she spoke, her tone was as unhurried as her steps.

"The monster itself is a scorpion spirit. If there is any conflict, it will use the hook on the tail that is replaced by horse poison to stab people."

Chai Xi: "..."

The fact that the other party found out the real body of the scorpion spirit so straightforwardly gave her a bad feeling.She can be sure that, except for her, everyone present—even including all the people of the Xiliang Women’s Country—don’t know about it, and this old man...could it be...?

As if seeing through her thoughts completely, the old woman gave Chai Xi a meaningful look, the meaning in her eyes was self-evident.

"Old man," the queen asked quickly, "how did you know?"

But the old lady didn't answer: "I just came to help for some reason. According to your current conditions, I'm afraid you can't surrender her, so you have to ask others."

Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha looked at each other, seeming to be dubious about what she said.

"The Palace of Light."

After she left these three words at the end, she turned around and walked tremblingly towards the entrance of the hall. The sound of her crutches being knocked on the ground was very crisp, as if they had stopped Chaixi and the others. Yes, to keep them immobile - of course, Chai Xi knew that the other party hadn't actually done this, she just simply... didn't want to catch up.

Others are naturally different.

"This, who is this person?"

After the old woman walked out of the door, Zhu Bajie came back to his senses belatedly, and he even stuttered when he spoke: "Why did you suddenly mention us?"

"Idiot," Chai Xi rarely called him that, "at least it's not the first day you saw Bodhisattva, right? Why are you still asking this kind of question now?"

The old woman was the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and she made a special trip to point out how to defeat the scorpion spirit.

The moment he realized this, Guanyin Bodhisattva gave her such a look, which made Chai Xi understand what she meant, probably implying that she should not reveal the truth before she finished speaking.Now that the other party is gone, it is natural that they have been allowed, so just tell them directly.

According to Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha, the "Guangming Palace" mentioned by Guanyin Bodhisattva is located in the East Heaven Gate of Heavenly Court, implying that at this point, everything should be solved after a trip to East Heaven Gate.

The two of them then went to Dongtianmen, and Chaixi bid farewell to the queen, who was a little at a loss because of the Bodhisattva's visit, and quickly ordered the female official to fetch things for sacrifice.

She was not in a hurry to go back to her room. On the contrary, she hesitated for a moment in front of the door, then walked over and stopped in front of Monkey King's room.Chai Xi stood there quietly, with no intention of going in, she just wanted to listen to the movement inside to make sure if he was resting well.

——However, it was discovered.

"What are you doing standing there?"

"..." Chai Xi was stunned for a moment, then pushed the door lightly, and found that the door was not closed from the inside, so he pushed the door and walked in, "Great Sage, are you awake?"

Sun Wukong snorted: "How can it be possible to sleep, at best it's just a doze."

He leaned against the bed, under the dim candlelight, his slightly stiff posture and somewhat tense body still revealed his current state - it seemed to be better than before, but not by much.

"The Bodhisattva came just now," she said softly, "I pointed out that it was the spirit of the scorpion. If you want to subdue her, you have to go to Dongtianmen Guangming Palace to find someone. Bajie and Drifting Monk have already gone. I guess they will come back soon and rescue the elder. .”

Sun Wukong responded with his eyes closed, and his dissatisfaction could be clearly felt from both his expression and his voice.Chai Xi stared at him for a while, sat down on the edge of the bed in a strange way, and leaned forward: "Great Sage, where did you get stung by that scorpion spirit?"

As she spoke, she supported her side with one hand, and stretched out the other hand.

In the next second, her wrist was grasped by the other party. Monkey King still didn't even open his eyes, but said, "Don't touch it."

"……Um."

As soon as he responded, Chai Xi paused, and carefully looked at his expression at this time. There was only one candlestick lit in the room, so the light was extremely dim.Because of the darkness, coupled with the heat of the skin on her wrist, she somehow felt that the atmosphere was a bit subtle at the moment.

Under the influence of this atmosphere, the temperature on his face seemed to be on the rise. Chai Xi opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

The Great Sage has not let go of her intentions.

She always felt like something was about to happen, until—

"grumble."

Chai Xi: "..."

Sun Wukong: "..."

She turned her head and found a pair of small bright eyes by the door, looking at the two of them without blinking, as if wondering what they were doing.

Chai Xi pulled out his hand subconsciously.

"What are you doing here?" She stood up from the bed, walked to the door and half bent down and said to the little monkey, regardless of whether it could understand, "Didn't I let you stay in the elder's room before?" Well, the situation is so chaotic now, what if you cause some trouble by running around?"

"Great Sage, rest first." Chai Xi picked up the little monkey with one hand and closed the door with the other. "Anyway, we just need to wait here."

——Even she herself felt that this was too much like running away.

She walked back to the guest room where she lived with some stiff steps, recalling what happened just now, but she couldn't help but glanced at the little monkey subtly.

It really doesn't know anything?
