Chapter 651 Secret
I saw the official lying on Tang Xuanzang's ear and whispering to Tang Xuanzang:
"This elder must not ask about this matter. He must have his reasons. You can stay here now and leave as soon as possible tomorrow morning."
However, Tang Xuanzang was even more confused, so he dragged the official to get to the bottom of it, but the official quickly shook his head and said, "Don't ever talk about this matter again."
Tang Xuanzang didn't want to give up just like that, so he kept asking until the end. The official had no choice but to say to Tang Xuanzang:
"Then wait for me here for a while, and I'll go discuss it with them."
After saying this, he turned around and left, then pulled a servant behind the screen.
After a while, a voice sounded from behind the screen.
"How should we deal with this matter? Our king has not said anything about these goose cages. You can just answer him casually."
At this moment, Tang Xuanzang's voice suddenly rang out, and he said loudly: "What happened here, officials? Why don't you explain it to us?"
The official was very helpless and could only tell the truth to Tang Xuanzang.
"This place was originally called Bhikkhu Country, but later there were folk songs and it was changed to Xiaozi City."
"Three years ago, there was an old man who dressed up as a Taoist priest and brought a girl who was only sixteen years old. The girl was fair-skinned and beautiful. His Majesty loved beauty, so he named her queen."
"After a while, the king became ignorant and ignorant. He was constantly close to beauty, which made him mentally tired."
"But what happened next?"
Tang Xuanzang was still unwilling to give up and wanted to get to the bottom of it.
"Finally, His Majesty contracted a disease that the imperial doctor could not cure after examination. However, the Taoist priest said that there was a secret recipe abroad that could prolong life."
"The introduction of the medicine is also very powerful. It requires the hearts and livers of many children to make soup and take the medicine. It has the merit of immortality for thousands of years."
The official sighed and said helplessly to Tang Xuanzang.
Then Tang Xuanzang became more and more shocked as he listened.
"Don't the parents of those little children know about this kind of thing? Why do they want to help the king recover instead?"
"There is nothing we can do about it. Parents are afraid of playing games, so they don't dare to make any noise. They can only spread rumors and call it Xiaoercheng."
"Then it gradually turned into a kid's city. Elder, when you go to the court tomorrow, just change the customs clearance documents, and don't mention this matter."
After saying this, the official turned and left. After Tang Xuanzang heard this, he collapsed on the ground. His bones and muscles were numb and he couldn't help but cry bitterly. He suddenly cried out:
"There is really a fool here. Why didn't you stop it in the first place? You like beauty but you get sick, but why do you have to kill so many children?"
Upon seeing this, Zhu Bajie immediately stepped forward to comfort Tang Xuanzang and said:
"Master, what's going on? Why do you carry other people's coffins in your own home to cry? Don't worry. As the saying goes, if the king lets his minister die, he has to die, and if the father lets his son die, the son has to die. ”
"Now he is hurting his people. What does it have to do with you? Come up and sleep quickly. Don't worry about them."
"How can I not be sad? I am a monk and I go out to spread Buddhism every day, but this foolish king's behavior is really uncomfortable."
"I have never seen that eating human hearts and livers can prolong life. This is an unreasonable thing in the first place. Why doesn't this make me sad?"
After Tang Xuanzang said this, he became more and more angry. However, at this moment, Sha Wujing opened his mouth to persuade:
"Master, please don't be sad. We will change the customs clearance documents tomorrow morning and tell the king after we see him."
"If you don't listen to us, look at what his Taoist priest looks like. He must also be a monster."
At this time, Sun Wukong finally couldn't bear it anymore, patted Tang Xuanzang on the shoulder and said to Tang Xuanzang:
"Master, don't worry about this. What Sha Wujing said makes sense. You go to bed now, and I will enter the court with you tomorrow morning to see what that Taoist priest looks like."
"If he is a human being, I'm afraid he has taken a crooked path and doesn't know what the right path is."
After saying this, Sun Wukong thought seriously for a long time, and then thought:
"I'm afraid if I just tell the master about this now, he won't believe it. I'll tell him more to get his letter."
Then Sun Wukong continued: "If it is a monster, then I will capture him and let the king have a look. What do you think of this plan?"
When Tang Xuanzang heard this, he immediately felt very happy. He quickly saluted Sun Wukong and said:
"Wukong, your plan is really great. I'm afraid I won't be able to ask about this matter after meeting Hun Jun. Hun Jun doesn't care about distance and will blame rumors when he hears them. How should we distinguish between this?"
Sun Wukong smiled and said:
"Master, don't worry about this. I have some magic power and can take all these children to other cities so that he will not be able to obtain their hearts tomorrow. However, the local magistrate will definitely discuss it with the king."
"Or we can discuss with you to choose another time. By then, we won't be blamed anymore."
After saying this, Sun Wukong looked at Tang Xuanzang, looking forward to Tang Xuanzang's next reaction.
"The idea you mentioned is great, but how can we let these children leave this city?"
"If we can help them get out, that would be a great kindness. Let's start taking action quickly. If it's slower, there may be nothing we can do."
When Tang Xuanzang heard this, he immediately felt very happy and quickly patted Sun Wukong on the shoulder and said to Sun Wukong.
Later, after Sun Wukong received Tang Xuanzang's approval, he stood up and gave instructions. Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing said:
"You two are accompanying the master now, waiting for me to use my divine power. If you hear the dark wind blowing, it means that the child has left the city."
After saying this, Sun Wukong immediately went out of the city and whistled. A whistle flew into the air and he chanted it. After a while, some gods came to Sun Wukong and said to Sun Wukong:
"Great Sage, you called us here so late. What on earth do you want to do?"
Hearing this, Sun Wukong smiled and said: "I am passing by the country of Bhikkhu now. The king is ignorant and ignorant. He does not eat well and insists on using the heart and liver of children as the introduction of medicine in order to live forever."
"My master couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to rescue those children, so I invited you here. I hope you can show your skills and take these children to the forest overnight to store them for a day or two. Don't let them starve."
