Chapter 598: Zhu Zi Country
At this moment, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing came out and said: "Master, you must not listen to Brother Monkey's mischief there. It is so far from here to the city gate that the city can't see clearly, let alone the words written on it."
After hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately spoke and immediately slapped Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing in the face. Sun Wukong only heard Sun Wukong say:
"The three big characters written in front of you are Zhu Ziguo. If you don't believe it, you can take a closer look to see if it is true."
After Tang Xuanzang heard this, he thought carefully for a long time and then said to Sun Wukong: "I have read about this country in books before. This country is in the west. Now I have to get the customs clearance CD."
When Sun Wukong heard this, he didn't want to pay attention to what Tang Xuanzang said, and just continued to move forward.
After a short while, everyone arrived in the city. When the four masters and disciples were walking on the street, they saw that those people were neatly dressed and their speech was no less civilized than that of the Tang Dynasty.
The surrounding vendors were very enthusiastic, but passers-by saw that Zhu Bajie looked ugly.
Sha Wujing had a very dark face and a very strong body, while Sun Wukong had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, so the surrounding vendors immediately lost their business and immediately ran over and looked at the three of them like animals.
When Tang Xuanzang saw this, he didn't want to cause too much commotion and said to them: "Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, the three of you quickly lower your heads and just walk forward."
After hearing what Tang Xuanzang said, the three people immediately lowered their heads and followed Tang Xuanzang closely.
However, after a while, Sun Wukong finally couldn't bear it anymore and looked around.
Some people still had jobs, so they went back after watching for a while, but some people were just idle, such as those urchins who laughed uproariously and threw bricks like Zhu Bajie.
After a while, they came to a guild hall. After Tang Xuanzang saw the guild hall, he said to Zhu Bajie, Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing:
"Disciple, let's go there for a while now, and then come out after everyone has dispersed. Otherwise, it will cause a big commotion."
Everyone nodded after hearing this, and then walked in together.
Speaking of which, there were two people in the guild hall, but one was counting people outside and the other was counting people outside. When he suddenly saw Tang Xuanzang, he was very surprised and immediately stepped forward to stop Tang Xuanzang and said to Tang Xuanzang:
"Who are you? Why are you here? Where will you go then?"
When Tang Xuanzang heard this, he used the words he said to others. Tang Xuanzang could only say:
"The poor monk came from the Tang Dynasty in the East and went to the West to obtain scriptures. Now he can't sneak past here when passing by, so he wants to find your king in exchange for the customs clearance document before moving on."
"Now I see it's getting late, so I want to come here to rest for the night."
After hearing what Tang Xuanzang said, the two ambassadors immediately withdrew, and then received Tang Xuanzang as a distinguished guest, and cleaned the room for Tang Xuanzang and others, allowing them to rest. Tang Xuanzang was very grateful when he saw this.
After a while, the room was cleaned, and then the two ambassadors invited Tang Xuanzang in.
When Sun Wukong saw this, he felt resentful and said:
"These two people are not kind-hearted. Why don't they let us sleep in that more luxurious room? Instead, they arrange such a simple place for us. Who are they looking down on?"
Tang Xuanzang was very kind at heart and did not think so much at all, so Tang Xuanzang patted Sun Wukong on the shoulder and said to Sun Wukong:
"Wukong, it's good to have a place to live now. Why do you care so much? Monks don't care at all how shabby the surrounding environment is."
"Their place here does not fall under the jurisdiction of our Tang Dynasty, nor is it connected to our country. What's more, they may not know our country, so it is difficult to keep us here."
Sun Wukong was very angry when he heard this, and he complained to Tang Xuanzang and said: "Master, just wait and see. Since they are not willing to use the highest etiquette to receive us, I will let them use it."
Just after Sun Wukong said this, the two ambassadors asked their servants to bring some food.
After Tang Xuanzang took over the food, the servant said to Tang Xuanzang, "There is a clean kitchen nearby. You can go there to cook."
After Tang Xuanzang heard what the man said, he asked the man seriously:
"Where is your emperor now?"
After hearing this, the servant thought carefully for a long time and then slowly said to Tang Xuanzang:
"My lord, let me tell you this. Our emperor has not been in court for a long time. Today is an auspicious day. He is currently discussing with various civil and military officials what kind of imperial edicts should be issued."
"If you want to change the customs clearance disc now, then go now. If it comes tomorrow, I'm afraid you won't be able to see the emperor."
After hearing this, Tang Xuanzang nodded to the servant, and after a while he arrived in front of the Five Phoenix Tower.
After the ministers saw Tang Xuanzang, they immediately went back and reported to the emperor: "Reporting to the emperor, there is a monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty outside. He wants to go to Xitian Leiyin Temple to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. Now he has arrived here and wants to exchange for some customs clearance documents. ”
After the emperor heard what the ministers said, he immediately felt very happy. At this moment, the emperor murmured slightly:
"Okay, that's great. I haven't been here at all because I'm sick. We are planning to find a doctor here. Now there is an eminent monk coming to our country."
After the king said this, he immediately asked Tang Xuanzang to come to him. After Tang Xuanzang kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, the king invited Tang Xuanzang to have a meal. After a while, Tang Xuanzang handed the customs clearance document to the king. .
After the king saw the customs clearance document, he was very happy and said to Tang Xuanzang:
"I want to ask you something now, and you must answer me carefully. What dynasty is your Tang Dynasty in? How many virtuous ministers are there?"
After Tang Xuanzang thought carefully for a long time, he answered the king one by one.
After the king heard what Tang Xuanzang said, he fell into deep thought. After a while, the king's body finally couldn't support it anymore and he let out a painful cry. Then he asked Tang Xuanzang:
"It's taken you so long to get here. Isn't it logical that you would die on the way?"
After Tang Xuanzang heard what the king said, he smiled and said to the king:
"King, you must have misunderstood. Our emperor has a prime minister named Wei Zheng. He knows astronomy and geography and can distinguish yin and yang. He is a very good minister."
