Chapter 604: Questions
After hearing what the king said, Tang Xuanzang immediately said to the king:
"It's not impossible, but I have to go to the sutras, and then I can really talk about Buddhism and teachings after I come back."
The king raised his glass and said to Sun Wukong: "No matter what, thank you for saving me."
Sun Wukong smiled and said to the king:
"Since you said so, you should sit here and drink some wine together. I will definitely not refuse."
After a while, the king said to Sun Wukong:
"Since you said so, I will drink a few glasses with you, and then I have something to say."
After hearing what the king said, Sun Wukong said to the king without thinking: "Then you should speak quickly now, and I will drink after you finish speaking."
The king thought seriously for a long time after hearing what he said. Afterwards, he said to Sun Wukong:
"I have been sick for such a long time, but you cured me with just one pill. You are really amazing."
After hearing what the king said, Sun Wukong said to the king:
"When I treated you, I found that you had symptoms of hesitation, but I don't know what you are worried about."
The king sighed and said to Sun Wukong:
"I wonder how many places you have been through when you came from the east?"
After hearing what the king said, Sun Wukong thought seriously for a long time and said to the king:
"We have been through five or six places. Just tell me what happened."
The king slowly said to Sun Wukong:
"The palaces here are called Jinsheng Palace, Yusheng Palace in the east palace, Yinsheng Palace in the west palace, and Jinsheng Palace in the west palace. , now only Queen Yuyin is left in the palace. ”
After hearing what the king said, Sun Wukong asked the king with a puzzled look: "Why is Jinsheng Palace gone?"
Sun Wukong's words touched upon the king's difficulty. The king sighed and said:
"It has been gone for three years. Three years ago, during the Dragon Boat Festival, my beloved concubine and I were drinking and watching the dragon boat race in the back."
"Suddenly, a gust of wind blew out a goblin. The goblin called himself Sai Taisui and said that he had lost a wife in the cave where he lived in Qilin Mountain. When he saw my beloved concubine with fair skin, beautiful face and long legs, he asked to be the wife of the leader and asked me to send her out quickly."
"If I don't send my beloved concubine out, he will eat me, and then eat all my ministers. Then the people in the city will be unable to escape. At that time, I will worry about the country and the people."
"Helpless He could only send my beloved concubine away, but was captured by the monster all of a sudden. "
The king paused for a moment after saying this, and after recovering from his shock, he continued:
"I happened to have a piece of food stuck in my throat at that time, and it stayed in my throat for three years. Now I am as light as a swallow and my spirits are still as good as ever. Today's behavior is all thanks to you. "
After hearing what the king said, Sun Wukong felt very happy, so he drank the big glass of wine in two gulps, and said to the king with a smile:
"So your majesty is worried about this kind of thing. Now you have met me, so you have recovered. I wonder when you plan to let your beloved concubine return to the country?"
The king burst into tears when he heard this, and said to Sun Wukong:
"I think about it day and night, but I have been looking for it for so long, and no one can catch the monster."
After hearing what the king said, Sun Wukong thought seriously for a long time, patted the king on the shoulder and said to the king: "Then I will go with you to subdue the monster, how do you feel? "
The king knelt down and said to Sun Wukong:
"If you can rescue my queen, I am willing to lead all the people in my palace out of the city and become civilians. I will give you all the land and let you be the emperor."
After hearing what the king said, Zhu Bajie smiled and said to the king: "How can you, a king, give up the land for your wife? Are you going to be a monk?"
Sun Wukong hurriedly stepped forward to help the king up and said loudly: "Has the emperor, this demon, come back since he left?"
After hearing what Sun Wukong said, the king thought seriously for a long time and said to Sun Wukong:
"Since he lived in that palace, he came once in October and asked for two maids, saying that he was to serve the queen, and then I gave him two. "
"But he came again in March and asked for two maids, and asked for two more in July. He asked for two more in February this year. I don't know when he will come again. "
After Sun Wukong thought about it for a long time, he continued to say to the king: "Will you be afraid of him when he comes?"
After hearing what Sun Wukong said, the king smiled and said to Sun Wukong:
"Of course I will be afraid of him, but I am afraid that they will hurt us, so I asked them to build a demon-avoiding building. Whenever there is a little sound, I will know that he is coming, and I will take my concubines in the harem into the building for refuge."
After hearing what Sun Wukong said, Sun Wukong said to the king: "If you don't mind, you can take me to the demon-avoiding building now. How do you feel?"
After hearing what Sun Wukong said, the king took Sun Wukong by his right hand and left his seat for the officials to follow the king. Seeing this, Zhu Bajie said to Sun Wukong:
"Brother Monkey, you are really too ignorant. It's not good to eat and drink here. Why do you have to go to see that thing?"
When the king heard this, he immediately understood what Zhu Bajie meant, and ordered everyone to carry the table and bring the food to the Demon-avoiding Tower.
Seeing this, Zhu Bajie stopped talking at this time, and sat here and said to Tang Xuanzang and Sha Wujing with a smile: "Let's go, let's go eat now."
A group of civil and military officials led the king and Sun Wukong through the palace and arrived at the imperial garden.
Sun Wukong looked carefully and did not find the towering tower.
After a while, Sun Wukong really didn't see it, so he said to the king: "Where is the demon-avoiding tower now?"
Just after Sun Wukong said this, two eunuchs holding two red pillars dug up a square stone slab in the open space. When the king saw it, he pointed at the stone slab and said to Sun Wukong:
"This is it. It's very deep down. I dug nine palaces inside. There are four large vats inside. The vats are filled with oil and can be lit with lights. Once I hear the wind is weak, I will bring people here to hide from the outsiders and cover the stone slab."
Sun Wukong laughed loudly when he heard this, but the king didn't know what Sun Wukong was laughing at. He only heard what Sun Wukong said to the king.
