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

A rooster crowed in the distance.

At that time, Chai Xi was sitting on a chair, teasing the little monkey absent-mindedly, while thinking about the situation just now, his suspicion became more and more serious.

"Or," she stopped teasing the other party's fingers, and said casually, "You can call him 'Six Ears'."

She didn't capture any moment of stiffness on the little monkey's body, nor did she see any special reaction. It just tilted its head and looked at her in that posture, blinking its eyes, looking at her in a daze. Looks quite puzzled and very cute.

Chai Xi couldn't help laughing.

"Forget it, I'm joking." She rested her chin on her hands, "I don't want to name you that kind of guy, just thinking about it makes me hate it to death."

Indeed, it is impossible to think about it.

For the six-eared macaque, there is no reason to interrupt her and the Great Sage.

At this moment, when she was thinking like this, Chaixi heard the high-pitched and deep crowing of a cock.

She was sure that the sound was not coming from inside the post station or from around the post station, but from a place farther away... Moreover, this sound did not sound like an ordinary rooster, Chai Xi could feel the cock crowing contained in it Although her mana would not cause any harm to her, it might be fatal to the scorpion spirit.

The rooster crowed one after another, a total of three times, and after these three times, everything fell silent.

—and then, dawn.

After about a quarter of an hour, Monkey King came and knocked on her door.

"Great Sage, how are you?" She was surprised when she opened the door to see Monkey King, and immediately wanted to help him in, but was rejected by him as before, "Can you get up?"

"It was also possible before, but it was very awkward." He walked in by himself, and glanced at the little monkey who was still squatting on the table. hinder."

After a pause, he asked again, "Did you hear that rooster crowing?"

"Understood," Chai Xi nodded, "I guess Drifting and the others invited the expert that the Bodhisattva mentioned, and they must have surrendered the scorpion spirit by now, and they are walking back with the elder."

"East Heaven Gate, Guangming Palace..." Rather than saying that he was explaining to Chaixi, Sun Wukong seemed to be talking to himself, "I think it is the Pleiades Star Officer."

"Pleiades star officer?"

Chai Xi blinked, of course she didn't know who the Pleiades Star Officer was.However, after subconsciously blurting out the question, and then recalling the crowing of the cock just now, she also guessed the real body of Pleiades Star Officer and the means he used to subdue the one who used the tail hook to sting people. Scorpion fine.

Scorpions...should be afraid of roosters, right?

Sun Wukong was fine, but Chaixi still persuaded him to rest for a while.Tang Sanzang was guarded by Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha, and the scorpion spirit had been subdued and eliminated by the Pleiades Star Official. There should be no other dangers here. It would be a waste of energy to rush there now. Why not take a good rest for later? Then hit the road.

"Oh," Sun Wukong responded, acquiescing to her opinion, but he quickly asked again, "Then what are you going to do?"

"I still have to meet the queen." She replied naturally, with a little guilt in her words... only a little bit, "There is something that I want to confirm again."

In fact, Chai Xi knew that the queen didn't know much about Shu Zhe. At most, he probably just listened to a few words from him, and then handed him the kit that couldn't be opened by some strange method. handed over to her.However, although I don't know much, I should still know some.

The phrase "similar" really caught her attention.

Sun Wukong insisted on staying in her room, and Chaixi always felt that the reason was probably because of the little monkey... But at this moment, she felt that the Great Sage would not do anything to it—probably.

"Hearing those cock crows, the elder should have been rescued," she conjectured when she came before the king of the Daughter Kingdom again, "If I don't expect it, he will come back soon. Before that, can Your Majesty continue the conversation that was interrupted just now, about...that I am the same as that Mr. Shu."

"of course."

The Queen smiled: "He said, I can tell you about this matter, so he probably told me about it. However, in the end, it was just a few words. The reason why he said 'the same kind' seems to be because you and him are both With the same ability, he didn't tell me about that ability, but you should know it."

……really.

What the queen said verified Chai Xi's idea in a sense.

Shu Zhe...is really the person Huaguoshan and Taishan said.

She remembered what Huaguoshan said at the time, and now it seems that this is no longer a matter of fate, the other party already knew of her existence, and even took the initiative to contact her.It's just that for some unknown reason, he didn't want to get in touch with her directly, nor did he want to show his face directly in front of her.

—or, it cannot.

"Then..." Chai Xi looked at the queen again, "Did he hint to Your Majesty when is the right time?"

"No," the Queen thought for a moment, as if recalling the scene at that time, and then she shook her head with certainty, "He just said, you need to figure it out by yourself."

Seek through... by yourself?

Chai Xi pursed her lips. Her original thought was that she would discuss this matter with Monkey King and Tang Sanzang as soon as she left Daughter Country. No matter what their opinions were, throwing away the kit was her plan most likely.But now that she heard what the queen said, she had to think more.

Although according to Huaguoshan's tone and tone at the time, that Shu Zhe should have a good character, maybe he would not harm her, and even help her.

But... is this Shu Zhe really what Huaguoshan and the others said, and not a fake person?

And can she just rely on one side...to trust that guy she's never even met?

While she was still hesitating, another female official came to report that Tang Sanzang and others had returned safely.

The queen immediately issued an order to let them in. When Tang Sanzang entered the hall first, when he was about to bend down to the queen, the queen stepped forward and stopped him.Chai Xi could tell that although the queen was stunned for a moment when she first saw Tang Sanzang, she soon came to her senses. This was probably a reflection of the predestined marriage. .

"The elder is a holy monk who has attained the Tao, and the disciples are all gods who can ride the clouds and fog. How can I afford it? There is no need to bow down here," said the Queen, who stepped back a few steps and signaled to Tang Sanzang, "Please sit down."

"Amitabha."

"Your Majesty's words are wrong," Tang Sanzang had no choice but to put his palms together and bowed to the queen. "Your Majesty is really the ruler of a country, so why can't you bear this poor monk's bow."

His face was still a bit depressed, and seeing the expressions of Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha, although he was not really touched by the scorpion spirit, he was really frightened.With the support of Zhu Bajie, Tang Sanzang sat on the position pointed by the king of the Daughter Kingdom just now, his movements were a little stiff.

"The poor monk has already heard about it from his apprentice," he said, "Please trouble Your Majesty."

"It's okay."

The Queen turned to Yingyang Yiyicheng: "Those who were looking for the previous visits have already returned to the team, but now, since the elders have returned safely, the city gate does not need to be closed, and the staff can be deployed according to the original guarding standards."

"Yes."

Yingyang Yiyi Yicheng responded, and then went down to send a message to start to deal with it.

"It's dawn now," Queen Fu looked at Tang Sanzang and Chaixi again, "but maybe the elders don't need to rush on the road, it's a whole night of tossing, and since they're traveling within the border of the widow If there is a problem, the widow should also bear the responsibility. Why don't the elders and this girl rest here for a few days, I will definitely entertain them well, and then go on the road."

Tang Sanzang hesitated for a moment, but still said: "To tell you the truth, the poor monk does feel a little tired. It is really good to stay one more day, but it is not good for the poor monk to stay longer here. Maybe... tomorrow at the latest Will be leaving in the morning."

"Since this is the case, I also hope to help you," the queen waved, and several female officials next to her handed over a plate of gold and silver that she had brought from nowhere. Let's go."

"It's absolutely impossible." Tang Sanzang said hastily, "How can a monk receive such a heavy gift."

He also rejected Queen Lingjin's reward, but Zhu Bajie agreed to it without hesitation, and Tang Seng didn't even have time to stop him, so he simply acquiesced.

After the reward was over, the queen drove back to the palace, and they also went back to their respective rooms. Tang Sanzang still looked a little terrified, but that was all.According to Zhu Bajie and the others, Pleiades Sun Xingjun made the scorpion weak and weak to death with a few voices, so there is no need to worry too much.

It wasn't until Chaixi opened the door of his room that he remembered that Monkey King was still waiting in the room.

As soon as she entered the door, she understood why Monkey King didn't come out to greet Tang Sanzang just now.

The two monkeys fought for some reason—but in fact, Monkey King didn’t seem to really fight back—the little monkey lay on top of Monkey King’s head, seemingly impartially, right on him when he was stung by the scorpion essence The pain made Sun Wukong grin his teeth again.

"... What are you guys doing?!"
