[Journey to the West] Trees fall

When the female official came back from the palace, Tang Sanzang and Sand Monk could not help but grunt in pain one after another in Yingyang Station.

The female officer snickered for a while, then went to the room where they were resting, and announced Her Majesty's order.

"Her Majesty has an order to invite Elder Tang and other guests to the palace to have an audience."

When Tang Sanzang heard this, he endured the pain in his stomach and stood up with difficulty, but his legs were weak and he was about to fall to the ground when he staggered, but Tianpeng quickly supported him.

The five of them tidied up their appearance, then boarded the chariot of Yingyang Station and headed for the palace.

Not to mention the extravagance and wealth along the way, when they arrived at the hall, they saw a dignified and solemn woman sitting on the throne, looking at them with a smile in her eyes, and gave the seat without waiting for them to salute.

"Where is the holy monk?" Her Majesty's voice was unexpectedly gentle, not as offensive as her appearance.

Tang Sanzang intermittently stated his origin, where he was going, and the mission he shouldered, and handed in the customs clearance document.

He asked about the situation of the other people, and learned that both Wukong and Tianpeng had families, so they focused on Tang Sanzang and Drifting Monk.

Her Majesty picked up the customs clearance document and looked through it. She was surprised that they had traveled through so many countries and places, and her face became even more harmonious. Putting down the document, she said softly: "Last night, I suddenly dreamed that the golden screen was beautiful and the jade mirror was beautiful. It is really a good omen to show the light! The holy monk came from the east, and he is the imperial brother of the Tang Dynasty. He has a noble status. Since the beginning of chaos in our country, there have been generations of emperors, and he has never seen a man come here. It's a blessing from God!"

Tang Sanzang was dizzy from the pain in his stomach, he just thought that the empress really praised him, so he responded with a smile and hummed a few words of humility.

Seeing this, Her Majesty the Empress smiled and said: "The appearance of a holy monk and a fairy is really impressive. I would like to use the wealth of a country to recruit Yudi to be king, and I would like to marry Yudi as the queen. After Yudi's child is born, Then cooperate with your yin and yang to have children and grandchildren, and become the emperor of Yongchuan. What do you think?"

Tang Sanzang was so pained that he was dazed, he really didn't have the energy to distinguish what the empress said, he only heard the last sentence "what do you think", and he nodded in agreement.

Her Majesty clapped her palms and smiled, and said: "Great kindness, great kindness! The apprentices under Yudi's seat are also very handsome, if they stay together, it's better to make Yudi not stay here alone, so as not to be lonely in the future. And... these two position." She looked at Wukong and Tianpeng, and felt that although they were not as handsome as Tang Sanzang, they were still considered well-groomed, but unfortunately they already had a family, so she said gently, "Your younger brother will stay in our Xiliang country as a teacher." Wang, I would like to ask you two to help him go to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures after drinking the wedding wine."

Tianpeng was already petrified by Tang Sanzang's decision to stay and marry a wife, Liushen looked at Wukong helplessly, wanting to find a backbone.

Wukong smiled and said: "Your Majesty is very polite, we are obliged to wait."

The empress was taken aback by his demeanor, and when she came back to look at him again, she felt that his appearance was ordinary. Although she felt it was a pity, she just let it go.

So the five of them lived in the palace. The wedding between Tang Sanzang and the empress was scheduled for three days later, and Drifting's marriage agenda was postponed until after the empress and Tang Sanzang's big wedding.

When Tang Sanzang's abdominal pain subsided a little, he was so startled by the news that he nodded and agreed to the marriage that he almost moved his fetus.

"What?" Tang Sanzang trembled, thinking he didn't hear clearly.

"It means that you agree to stay here and marry the queen." Su Jiu shared the good news with him with a smile.

Tang Sanzang thought of the scene in the palace where he nodded indiscriminately because of stomach pain, and regretted it.

"The poor monk is a monk, how can he get married? qwq" Tang Sanzang was under the double blow of body and mind, and only felt that the future was bleak and he could not see the future.

"Don't cry, it will be your big day in two days, when you get married, you can also give birth to the baby in your stomach." Su Jiu poked Tang Sanzang's wound mercilessly.

"No." Tang Sanzang pitifully hugged his swollen stomach, looked up at Su Jiu, with tears on his face that hadn't been wiped clean, and he was nestled in the chair, as if he was forced to die by the bad guys. A bald girl who can't resist.

Wukong glanced at him, murderous.

Tang Sanzang shut his mouth tightly, not daring to say anything more.

qwqBuddha, this place is really scary.

Su Jiu wanted to say something, when suddenly a woman in court lady's attire came to the door, she glanced over Su Jiu, paused, and then fell on Tang Sanzang who was drooping her head.

"Your Majesty, please come to Wufeng Tower to have a talk." Her voice was as soft as water, her tone was plain, but it was inexplicably full of charm and tenderness.

Tang Sanzang hugged his stomach, reluctantly got up, tidied up his somewhat messy clothes, then walked to the maid, and said, "Let's go."

When the maid came to his side, a trace of tears flashed across her eyes, she immediately lowered her head, covered her expression, and walked out of the room first.

Wukong looked at the two people who walked out, raised his eyebrows, brought up a playful smile, walked to Sujiu, and embraced her who was looking at the backs of the two people.

"Junior Sister, did I perform well?" Wukong wagged his tail and asked for credit, with a look of begging for praise.That scorpion spirit is full of evil spirits, no amount of makeup can cover it up, and he dares to come to the palace to abduct people so carelessly, hmph, if it wasn't for the sake of his junior sister, he wouldn't pretend not to recognize her. come out.

Su Jiu sighed softly, approached Wukong's arms, and didn't say a word.

She knew that Pipa would come, but she didn't expect that she would walk up to them without any scruples and lead them away graciously.Presumably it was the news that Tang Sanzang was going to get married which stimulated her and made her throw away even the last scruples.

Forget it, just pretend you didn't find out and buy her some time.Sujiu made up her mind to give Pipa more time to spend with the monk, so she hooked Wukong's neck and said that she was sleepy and wanted to sleep.

Wukong picked her up clearly, and told Tianpeng: "Junior Sister needs to rest, don't disturb her."

Canopy nodded thoughtfully, and agreed.

Tang Sanzang followed the maid, and walked around to a remote palace wall, and was about to ask a question, but the maid suddenly stopped and turned around.

"I'm sorry." Tears welled up in the maid's eyes, she frowned and apologized to him guiltily.

Tang Sanzang was completely confused, and was about to ask a question, when his vision darkened and he passed out.

When I woke up again, I saw a cave with strange rocks in front of me. Three or four candles were lit, and the flames flickered faintly in the dark.

The temperature in the cave is very low, and the hot breath condenses into white mist in the air. The cold air and the sound of water droplets hitting the stone make people feel hairy.

Tang Sanzang sat up, wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, and shivered under the quilt.

"You're awake." The woman who stunned him appeared in the cave out of thin air. At this time, she had changed into a palace attire. She was wearing a thin crimson gauze dress, her black hair was partly draped and partly tied, and her eyes were bright and kind, as if washed out of lead. , Blooming out the beauty that makes people tremble.

Tang Sanzang didn't say a word, he glanced at her and lowered his eyes.After experiencing so many tribulations, big and small, he was quite sure that the beautiful woman in front of him must be a monster.

Seeing that he was silent, the woman was not annoyed, she walked to his side with a chuckle, sat down on the stone bed where he was sitting, and said softly: "I haven't told you my name yet, my name is Pipa."

Tang Sanzang snorted disdainfully when he heard the words, the monsters would try to coax him with sweet words, and the final purpose was not all to eat him, so as to live forever.

There was a flash of fragility and sadness on Pipa's face, but he quickly cleared up his emotions, and said softly, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? I made some vegetarian porridge, and I don't know if it suits you." taste."

Tang Sanzang's stomach growled, his body froze, but he still lowered his head and kept silent with a strong backbone.

Pipa smiled, stretched out her hand to take it in the air, and a bowl full of hot porridge appeared in her hand. She held the bowl of porridge and presented it to Tang Sanzang, eagerly said: "Have a taste?"

Wrapped in a quilt, Tang Sanzang secretly raised his eyes to look at it, um, it looks delicious.But thinking of the losses he suffered before, he quickly lowered his head. qwq I'm so hungry, and it's starting to hurt again.

Pipa concealed her hurt and disappointment, looked at him with affectionate and tolerant eyes, she smiled and said: "If you feel that I am here to make you uncomfortable, I will leave now, don't starve yourself."

After finishing speaking, she waited and waited, seeing that Tang Sanzang was still huddling herself under the quilt, so she could only sigh and hide her figure.

Huh, she left?Tang Sanzang felt a movement in the air and raised his head. The cave was empty, and there was no one else except him.

The steaming bowl of vegetarian porridge was placed at the end of his bed, which proved that a person came here just now with all expectations and longings.

Tang Sanzang shrugged his nose, still unable to bear the hunger in his stomach, he reached out his hand from under the quilt, took the bowl of porridge, and took a sip cautiously.

Delicious! qwq!The rice grains were boiled to melt in the mouth, sweet and delicious. He sipped the porridge quickly, feeling the heat gradually dissipating the coldness, and rolled his eyes happily.

Well, it would be great if there is a vegetarian steamed stuffed bun to eat.Tang Sanzang bit the wooden spoon, thinking dissatisfiedly.

A basket of buns appeared at the end of his bed.

Tang Sanzang pursed his lips and thought for a while, reached out to take the steamed bun, peeled off the skin, and inside was the stuffing of cabbage and radish that made people drool.He thought for a while, bit the steamed stuffed bun and mumbled, "Thank you...thank you."

Pipa reached out and wiped away the tears indiscriminately, but laughed involuntarily.

You see, her sweetheart is always so nice.
