Chapter 521: No Medicine in the Wine (Part 2)
"The holy monk abides by the heart of the precepts, so that the lonely is quite admired, but the holy monk saves the life of the lonely, and the great kindness is not the glory and wealth, gold, silver and jewelry and other mundane things to repay, only with the gift of my human race, a glass of vegetarian wine, can we talk about our hearts."
Such affectionate words really moved Tang Sanzang.
If...... If there is no medicine in the wine......
Of course, the above is just an idea that Tang Sanzang inadvertently recalled the sassy routine in his memory in his previous life, and inadvertently sprouted in his mind.
A cup of gratitude, a cup to send you away.
What's more, since he was led to the Pipa Cave by the Jade Scorpion Spirit back then and inadvertently drank her cup of "vegetarian tea" with something added, Tang Sanzang paid extra attention to such things.
After all, even if the poor monk has such an unlucky child as Agarwood, he is still a pure person who has not leaked Yuanyang.
But......
Tang Sanzang raised his eyes slightly and looked at the middle-aged man with a thin face in front of him, his face was majestic and domineering, except that his eyes were a little cloudy and godless, and his figure was quite thin, he had the might of an emperor.
He is a man after all, and he doesn't expect to have the same thoughts as the jade scorpion spirit, and Wukong, Bajie, Sha Seng and others are still sitting on the left, and the poor monk is not alone, but there is no need to worry too much.
As soon as he thought of this, Tang Sanzang took the wine glass in King Zhu Zi's hand with a little embarrassment and helplessness on his face, and said. "In this case, it is better for the poor monk to be respectful than to obey his fate."
"Very good, very good."
King Zhu Zi praised it, and then he also picked up a glass of wine, gestured slightly to Tang Sanzang, and then drank it all.
Seeing this, Tang Sanzang had no choice but to slightly cover the sleeve of the monk's robe in his left hand, and skillfully drank the grain in the cup.
However...... There are two things about drinking!
King Zhu Zi may have been lying on the sickbed for a long time, and he has not been so happy for a long time, but this time he was very interested, and after a moment, he raised his glass again and said to Tang Sanzang.
"Holy monk, please, fortunately the holy monk came to Zhu Ziguo, otherwise I don't know when I will be able to sit here, this two cups of vegetarian wine, but I invite the holy monk to drink it."
"It's just three ......" Tang Sanzang didn't mean to be overly hypocritical, he expected that with two glasses of vegetarian wine, the Buddha would not dare to blame himself.
As the saying goes: wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha stays in his heart.
Well......
It's just that now Tang Sanzang feels that the meaning of this sentence may be that the poor monk has drunk and flesh in his belly, and if the Buddha is responsible for the poor monk when he is drunk, he is afraid that his relics will stay here with the poor monk, and people can only stay in the heart of the poor monk forever.
"Holy monk, this third cup ......"
Before King Zhu Zi finished speaking, Tang Sanzang took the lead in persuading. "Why is Your Majesty fond of drinking? After recovering from a serious illness, you still need to eat more vegetables to make up for it. ”
"It's extreme, it's extreme, what the holy monk says is extreme." King Zhu Zi smiled, put a piece of vegetarian meat in his mouth, suddenly remembered something, and asked.
"By the way, Holy Monk, what is the name of your elixir? The shape and taste are a little strange, but the effect is really good. ”
"This ......"
Tang Sanzang turned his gaze to the monkey, obviously not grabbing the naming right.
The monkey's fiery eyes rolled slightly, and he smiled. "Back to Your Majesty, the name of that pill is 'Wujin Dan'."
"'Ugindan'?"
King Zhu Zi sounded the rather mottled and rough color of the elixir, and felt that it was quite incompatible, but he didn't mean to delve into it, so he asked instead. "Good name, I don't know what kind of material this Ugin Dan is made of?"
Zhu Bajie, who was eating and drinking on the side, heard this, but instinctively shouted and said. "I know this old pig best, it's the warm ...... that Brother Monkey went to fetch overnight last night."
However, before Zhu Bajie finished speaking, the monkey slapped Zhu Bajie's body and pressed his head straight into the dish in front of him.
Immediately, the monkey said to King Vermilion with a smile and apologies. "Your Majesty, my senior brother is intermittently stupid, don't care about it, don't care about it, as for the raw materials of this Wujin Dan, it is indescribable, otherwise the effect of the pill will no longer work."
When King Zhu Zi heard this, he nodded slightly, understanding that it was indeed impossible for such a panacea to reveal the specific recipe casually, but he had no intention of asking further.
Subsequently, after Tang Sanzang also deliberately bypassed Zhu Bajie's almost leaked words, and took the initiative to communicate with King Zhu Zi, the atmosphere of the banquet can be described as very good.
As the banquet came to an end, under Zhu Ziguo's secret signal, the hundred officials quietly retreated, and the maids who were waiting on the left and right disappeared.
Such a subtle change did not hide Tang Sanzang's eyes, and when he was thinking, he asked. "Your Majesty has something to tell the poor monk?"
"If you really can't hide it from the eyes of the holy monk, that's exactly the case."
King Zhu Zi put the bamboo chopstick in his hand on the table and said with a straight face. "On the second floor of the East Pavilion here, the upper part is not connected to the sky, and the lower part is not connected to the ground, and the next words are to enter the ears of the holy monks and his party, and they cannot be passed on to outsiders."
When Tang Sanzang heard this, he quietly shrouded the East Pavilion with the "Light of the Righteous Path", and then responded with a solemn face. "Your Majesty trusts the poor monk so much, and the poor monk should be cautious."
"Hmmm......"
King Zhu Zi nodded slightly, his gaze swept over Tang Sanzang and his party, and said. "I am lonely for your kindness, but there is a secret to tell."
After a pause, King Zhu Zi said as if he was organizing language.
"To the west, you can't go any further, I don't know what the influence of the Western religion on the Tang Dynasty is, and I don't know why the Tang Emperor wants to send the holy monk to the West to get the true scriptures, but out of Zhu Ziguo, and then to the west, it is impossible to go. In other words, after leaving Zhu Ziguo, the west is already the territory of the Western Tianna Sect. ”
"Huh?!" Tang Sanzang's brows furrowed slightly, and after thinking about it, he was surprised by King Zhu Zi's words, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
And King Zhu Zi also understood that such unclear words would not only fail to convince anyone, but would only add to the doubts of others.
Immediately, King Zhu Zi said after grinding his thumb on the second section of his index finger. "And when the orphan tells the holy monk about the past, he will know the reason."
"More than 20 years ago, Gu was only the prince of Zhu Ziguo, without virtue and authority, except for practicing the way of bows and arrows inherited from his ancestors under the persecution of his father, there was really no merit in counting himself......"
"Until, there are two finches frolicking and playing to my Zhu Ziguo, taking people for pleasure and competing for food, my father led tens of thousands of soldiers to gather into a military formation to stop it, but in the end, my father could only return with more than ten personal guards seriously injured."
"That's ...... Far beyond the demon beasts that Zhu Ziguo can compete with......"
