Chapter 457: Imperial Garden
The ministers looked at Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong and others, their eyes were full of surprise, the prince said that there were Tang monks who came to offer divine beasts, but they didn't expect this monk to bring a few beautiful women, even the ministers who had beautiful wives in the family had never seen such beautiful women.

And the snow-white one-horned horse that entered the hall together attracted everyone's attention, especially the turquoise night pearl on the single horn, the size of a fist, even in the daytime, it emitted a faint green light, which was definitely a rare treasure.
"The poor monk Tang Sanzang has met His Majesty the King with all his disciples. Tang Sanzang stepped forward, folded his hands and bowed his head, which was regarded as a salute.
"Bold! When you see His Majesty the King, how dare you not bow down!" an old minister on the side glared angrily and shouted.
"According to my gift of the Tang Dynasty, when I see the Son of Heaven, I don't need to kneel down, and I hope that Your Majesty Haihan. Tang Sanzang looked up at the king and said calmly.
"You!" The minister couldn't help but be angry when he saw Tang Sanzang directly ignoring him.
"Okay, I have heard that the Tang Dynasty is in the upper kingdom, and the Tang Dynasty does not need to kneel and worship, so how can we force it. The king waved his hand, motioned for the minister to retreat, and said with a smile: "I heard what the prince said, I went out of the city to hunt today, and I happened to meet a master and apprentice, and I also had a divine beast, and I came to offer it, but this is it?"
"Back to Your Majesty's words, exactly. Tang Sanzang nodded and beckoned to Luo Xi, Luo Xi obediently took two steps forward, rubbed Tang Sanzang's hand with his head, raised his slender neck, and shook the night pearl on the horn, as if he didn't like this thing hanging on the horn very much.
"Sure enough, it is a spiritual beast, I don't know where the master found it?" the king was overjoyed, looked at Tang Sanzang and asked.
"Your Majesty, this divine beast was met by our master and apprentice in the mountains, followed all the way, entered the territory of the black chicken country, I heard that Your Majesty is a sage lord, so I came here to offer the divine beast. Tang Sanzang replied with a smile.
"Yes, yes. The king clapped his hands happily and said loudly: "Come, first bring the divine beast down, use the best forage, take care of it, and invite the queen to come." ”
The two little eunuchs on the side answered, and stepped forward to get close to Luo Xi.
But before they could touch Luo Xi, Luo Xi, who had always been quiet and docile, suddenly raised his leg and kicked the two little eunuchs directly away.
Fortunately, the strength of these two feet was not great, although the two little eunuchs flew out, but they did not fall heavily on the ground, rubbed their chests and sat on the ground for a while, and then got up by themselves.
"Your Majesty, the Divine Beast has come with us all the way, and she may be a little wary of strangers, so it is better to let us take care of it for another day, and after she gets used to here, her emotions should slowly calm down. Tang Sanzang hurriedly reached out and touched Luo Xi's head, looking at the king with some apologies.
The king was not angry, nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, it seems that the temper of this divine beast is really not small, prince, you take the master and the elders down first, and arrange a place for them to live properly, your queen mother said this morning that she has not seen you for some days, and you will go to your queen mother later." ”
The crown prince and the two little eunuchs led Tang Sanzang and his party out of the main hall and walked towards the west hall.
The two little eunuchs walked in front, and the prince deliberately slowed down, walked beside Tang Sanzang, and lowered his voice and said, "Master, do you see anything?"
"The situation was somewhat unexpected, but the result was not much different, could the prince arrange for our accommodation to be next to the Imperial Garden, or close to the Imperial Garden, and preferably to allow us to enter and leave the Imperial Garden. Tang Sanzang also nodded softly, glancing at the prince, it seemed that he was still reluctant to believe all this in his heart.
"Well, in recent years, my father has rarely entered and exited the imperial garden, so the entry and exit here are not as strict as before, so I will arrange it. The prince nodded, took two quick steps to widen the distance from Tang Sanzang, and gave two orders to the two little eunuchs, and one of them left quickly.
Soon, Tang Sanzang's place to stay was arranged, a quiet courtyard, just a wall away from the imperial garden.
The prince said to the guards guarding the imperial garden, asking them not to stop Tang Sanzang and the others from taking the divine beast into the imperial garden for a walk, and after saying hello to Tang Sanzang and the others, he left in a hurry, it seemed that he was going to see his mother.
"Master, although that person is not a monster and has no magic power, he should have a treasure on his body, so he can become the appearance of a king, and his real appearance is not what he is now. Only Tang Sanzang and his party were left in the small courtyard, and Sun Wukong said in a loud voice.
"Could it be that he, an ordinary person, dared to push the original king down the well and replace him with a magic weapon that could change his appearance? Then how did he deceive so many people? Is there really no monster involved?" Zhu Tianpeng said a little puzzled.
"No, there are indeed monsters in this palace, in the garden. Tang Sanzang shook his head and pointed in the direction of the Imperial Garden.
"Yes, there are indeed demons and ghosts in the Imperial Garden, and in addition to the king's ghost, there should be a youkai staying there. Sun Wukong also nodded.
"Then let's go over and have a look. Zhu Tianpeng said.
"Okay, anyway, it's not time to eat yet, so it's okay to go over and explore the situation. Tang Sanzang nodded and led everyone towards the direction of the Imperial Garden.
There are four guards guarding the gate of the imperial garden, and I have heard the prince say that Tang Sanzang is a distinguished guest, and in order to enter the palace to offer the divine beast, he respectfully watched everyone enter the imperial garden.
However, for the sake of insurance, when passing by the four guards, Sha Wanjing still used a fixation technique for them, so that even if there was any movement in the imperial garden, these guards would not be able to hear what they could do.
The Imperial Garden is quite large, and there is a small lake dug in the yard, but the lake is covered with thin ice, and the snow on the shore has not yet melted away, so it looks quite barren at a glance, and you can't see the scene of a hundred flowers competing for beauty.
"There it is. Sun Wukong pointed in the direction of the western corner, where there was a flower bed slightly higher than the next one, where plantains should have been planted under the snow, and you could see frozen banana leaves.
Everyone stepped forward, Sun Wukong waved his hand, and the soil on the flower bed fell aside with those banana leaves, revealing an ancient well covered with stone slabs.
"It seems that the king didn't lie yesterday, but there is a simple sealing formation carved on this well. Zhu Tianpeng stepped forward and kicked open the stone slab covering it, and a stream of yin qi gushed out from the well, making the air a little colder.
"Hmph, it seems that if there was no stone slab sealed, the king would probably have come out to make trouble, and there are really few good stubbles when he is the emperor. Zhu Tianpeng waved his hand, and the yin qi suddenly dissipated.
