Chapter 509: Lonely, Regretful. (2nd Update)
Soon, Tang Sanzang and the monkey arrived in front of the palace of King Zhu Zi, got off the carriage, and headed towards the palace under the leadership of the people in the palace.
I have to say that compared with the many small countries that Tang Sanzang has seen on the road to the west in the past ten years, the Zhuzi Palace can be called tall and majestic, magnificent, and there is even a sense of grandeur in the faint way.
It may be a few points inferior to the Tang Palace, but it is enough to make Tang Sanzang admire.
However, when Tang Sanzang followed the people in the palace like a saint like a Buddha, he suddenly found that the expression of the monkey around him seemed to be something wrong.
"Wukong, what's wrong?" Tang Sanzang asked out loud.
The monkey's fiery eyes looked left and right, as if looking for something, and whispered. "This Zhuzi King's Palace, some are not simple, master don't stay away from my grandson."
"Isn't it easy?!" When Tang Sanzang heard this, his peaceful eyes also glanced around intentionally or unintentionally, and even the "Light of the Righteous Path" faintly escaped, but there was nothing unusual to discover, but it was the return of this majestic Terran royal palace, which made Tang Sanzang inexplicably feel close.
After thinking about it slightly, considering that the name "Zhu Ziguo" seemed to have some impressions in his memory, it was very likely that this was one of the catastrophes, Tang Sanzang asked the monkey with some uncertainty.
"Wukong, is there a remnant of demonic energy here?"
"There's no demonic spirit, but there seems to be something else." The monkey said with some uncertainty.
Obviously, the monkey's fiery eyes did not directly observe anything, but his instincts and instincts seemed to sense something.
"Amitabha, I know it as a teacher."
Tang Sanzang nodded vaguely, but his expression did not change in the slightest, he was still like a holy Buddha, revealing a peaceful and quiet Zen Buddha meaning, walking between steps, as if a lotus flower came out of thin air to support Tang Sanzang to walk in the world, but there was no need to be contaminated with a little dust.
"True God is a man ......"
In the palace, a large number of coincidental sights of Tang Sanzang's guards, palace maids, or the rest of the court couldn't help but admire.
Even if they were not allowed to salute abruptly at will due to their duties and etiquette, the reverence in their eyes and the subconsciously lightened pace when they intersected with Tang Sanzang all showed their attitude.
Walking all the way through the golden splendor, carved railings and paintings, the people in the court went around and around, but they brought Tang Sanzang and the monkey to a palace like a dormitory.
When the people in the court arrived here, they subconsciously bent down slightly, and their steps were much lighter, as if they were afraid of disturbing something.
Immediately, the people in the palace stretched out their hands slightly towards Tang Sanzang and the monkey, signaling Tang Sanzang and the monkey to stop, and then he knocked on the door gently, and after a while, the voices of the people in the palace said in an unusually thick voice.
"Your Majesty, the Holy Monk of the Eastern Tang Dynasty has arrived."
After a few breaths, a faint faint weakness came out of it with a few coughs.
"Ahem...... Holy monks...... Ahem...... Come on in. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Immediately, the people in the palace pushed open the main entrance of the palace vigorously, bowed their waists and stretched out their hands towards the palace, signaling Tang Sanzang and the monkey to enter by themselves.
"Amitabha." Tang Sanzang put his palms together and made a Buddhist salute towards the people in the court, and then walked towards the palace with his footsteps.
Different from the dark room where Tang Sanzang originally expected the seriously ill people to live, this room where the people in the court maintained the peace of the outside world, but with a certain regularity, pearls, oil lamps, etc., illuminated the palace as bright as day, and skillfully filled every corner of the palace.
Tang Sanzang calmed down slightly, feeling that the situation was faintly unexpected, and continued to walk peacefully towards the center of the palace with his palms together.
Different from the sleeping palace of the Tang Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the sleeping palace of King Zhu Ziguo is more inclined to the style of Western countries, not to mention the great internal space, the dragon bed is also placed in the middle position, and is covered by layers of curtains.
Tang Sanzang took the monkey to the outside of the layers of curtains and stood still, according to the court etiquette, his eyes were lowered, and he preached a Buddhist ritual with his palms folded.
"Poor monk Tang Sanzang, meet Your Majesty."
Inside the curtain, King Zhu Zi, who seemed to be half-lying on the bed in the haze, spoke, and a deep voice came out that Tang Sanzang had not expected.
"Tang Sanzang?! Are you from the Tang Dynasty? ”
"Exactly!" Tang Sanzang responded.
"I heard that you are the imperial brother saint monk canonized by the Tang Emperor himself, can you fake it?" King Zhu Zi asked again.
"Thanks to my great love to Your Majesty, and I feel to Your Majesty that the poor monk should go west to Lingshan Da Lei Yin Temple to seek the belief of the Mahayana scriptures, so I was canonized by my Majesty as the royal brother." Tang Sanzang said humbly.
"Ahem...... There are not many regrets in this life, and he can't compete with the rumored Tang Emperor, and he can't see it with his own eyes...... Ahem...... Witnessing the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is really insulting to the ambition of men. ”
King Zhu Zi's words were always irrepressibly interspersed with a few coughs, but that ambition made Tang Sanzang couldn't help but be moved.
Since traveling west, this is the first time that Tang Sanzang has felt the true domineering spirit in the kings of many Fanbang countries.
"Ahem...... Holy monk, don't misunderstand, Lone has no intention of killing among the human race, but as the king of a country, he can't hunt with the Tang Emperor with the three armies as a chessboard and a chessboard with thousands of miles of territory...... Ahem...... It's a regret in life, and it's a pity to be alone in this crippled body, I'm afraid it's difficult in this life. ”
Zhu Ziguo's words concealed the regret of the twilight of the hero, but in his tone, Tang Sanzang felt the endless ambition.
Tang Sanzang was slightly silent, and said with his palms folded. "Your Majesty has his own heavenly family, and the dragon body is expected to heal soon."
"The holy monk doesn't need to comfort Lonely, what is the condition of Lone's remnant body...... Ahem...... Still a little self-aware......"
After a pause, King Zhu Zi's tone changed and he spoke. "It is said that the holy monk and his entourage unveiled the list of the lone doctor king, could it be that the holy monk and his entourage have the hand of the medical country sent by the Tang Emperor to accompany him?"
"Amitabha, when the poor monk traveled west, because the road to the west was long and difficult, and there were many dangers, so he refused my kindness to send personnel to His Majesty to protect him, so he had nothing but a white horse and a few luggage......"
After a pause, Tang Sanzang pointed to the monkey beside him and said. "But all the way west, I was blessed by God, but I was fortunate to receive a few apprentices, each of whom had some skills, among which the eldest apprentice Sun Wukong was willing to try the healing method."
