Chapter Twenty-Three: The True and False Black Chicken King
In this way, Tang Seng will be worried.
Even if he wanted to persuade the king, but now he couldn't even see the king's face, how could he persuade him? How do I change the disc?
Gu Ming persuaded and said that everyone should think of a way together.
Another night passed.
On the second day, when Gu Ming saw Tang Seng, he found that Tang Seng was still sad.
This is a bit strange, didn't the real king give Tang Seng a dream?
According to the original plot, the soul of the original king should dream of Tang Seng and leave a token, which let Tang Seng know the truth of the matter: the king of Wuji Country turned out to be fake!
The True King was pushed into a well by goblins three years ago and drowned.
After thinking about it for a while, Gu Ming felt that something might have changed in this matter...... And the reason for the change must be because of his arrival.
Even so, it can only be solved with his assistance.
In fact, Gu Ming had already guessed that the gods in the sky had noticed him.
After all, those great gods were paying attention to the whereabouts of Tang Seng and his apprentices at any time, and almost all of the eighty-one difficulties along the way were set in advance.
But because of Gu Ming's arrival, the situation has changed.
Therefore, it is impossible for the great gods not to notice him.
It's just that because Gu Ming's origin is too special, he doesn't belong to this world, so it's not easy to deduce his origin.
Not even a power like Nyolai.
Regardless of whether you pay attention to it or not, or the other party is rearranging, but Gu Ming knows that it is impossible to change the general direction of learning from the experience.
As long as he follows this general direction and does not affect the plan of learning from experience, then the other party will not find a reason to embarrass him.
So, Gu Ming found Tang Seng and Sun Wukong to discuss matters alone.
"I know something about the current situation of the black chicken country......
"Oh? What the hell is going on? ”
Tang Seng was in good spirits.
As the so-called right medicine, at least he has to know why the king of Wuji Country is so extreme, so that he can find a way to solve it.
"I'm just guessing this, so I'll trouble the Great Sage and me to sneak into the palace tonight, and we'll know if my guess is correct at that time.
During this period, Elder Tang stayed in Baoling Temple for the time being, and it was best not to go out, so as not to be arrested and used as a coolie......"
"Well, then there will be Lao Shangxian."
Tang Seng nodded with satisfaction.
That night, Gu Ming took Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie to sneak into the palace quietly.
With the skills of the three of them, it was impossible for those palace guards to find out, and the only thing to be careful about was not to alarm the fake king.
After all, the other party is a demon, and his perception is naturally very comparable.
Therefore, Gu Ming instructed Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie to hide their breath as much as possible.
The three of them quietly came to the palace garden, searched for it, and finally found an ancient well.
"Great Sage, this well is not an extraordinary well, there is a dark river connected to the well. There is a well dragon king in this well, and the great sage can recite a spell to summon him to ask. ”
"Oh? Try it. ”
So, Sun Wukong silently chanted a mantra.
After a while, a dragon shadow came up from the well, and then turned into an old man.
"The old dragon sees the great sage, and the two immortals."
"The old dragon king doesn't have to be polite, you can talk about the situation in the black chicken country."
The King of the Well Dragon sighed and pointed to the well: "Actually, the king of the Wuji Kingdom is lying under this well at the moment, and the old dragon used a face bead to keep his body from rotting......"
"What?" Zhu Bajie was taken aback: "You said that the king is in the well, so who is this king now?" ”
"Now this king is a youkai...... Back then, he cast a spell to ask for rain, and the king saw that he had great powers, and he had the heart to make friends with him, and wanted to learn a little art of immortality, so he worshipped him as a brother.
But what I didn't expect was that the monster was greedy for wealth in the world, so he pushed the king into the well and became the king of this black chicken country......"
"So that's the case, no wonder ......"
Sun Wukong suddenly realized.
"So what now? Brother Monkey, why don't we make trouble in the palace now and catch that monster. ”
"Never!"
Gu Ming hurriedly waved his hand.
"Why not?" Zhu Bajie was not convinced.
"Now, in the eyes of all, he is the king. When you make such a fuss, others still think that you are trying to stand up for the disciples of the Buddhist family, and deliberately find an excuse to kill the king. ”
"That's right, what this immortal said is reasonable."
The Well Dragon King said immediately.
Sun Wukong nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, we are disciples of Buddhism, it is indeed not easy to convince people to make such a fuss, so how to expose that guy?" ”
"The three immortals, the king is now in the well, although the person is dead, but because there is a fixed face bead, the body is preserved as before.
In addition, his soul is not gone, and the three of them can take it away and communicate with him with psychic methods to see if there is a way to solve it. ”
"It's okay, Bajie, you go down and carry the corpse."
"Huh? Why me again? Zhu Bajie had a bitter face.
"Because you're a junior brother."
Zhu Bajie subconsciously looked around, but Sha Seng was not there...... Yes, it's just him.
There was no choice but to mumble and carry the corpse.
Soon after, Gu Ming and his entourage quietly returned to Baolin Temple.
"This ...... How can this bring back a corpse? ”
Seeing Zhu Bajie come back with a corpse on his back, Tang Seng was taken aback.
"Master, he is the king of the black chicken country."
"What? You ......"
Tang Seng turned pale with fright, and only when Gu Ming and his party were angry and killed the king.
"Elder Tang don't need to panic, here's how it ......"
Gu Ming explained the reason unhurriedly.
"I see...... Amitabha, good, good! ”
"So what now?" Zhu Bajie asked.
"Don't worry, the soul summoning technique, I know how to ......"
Gu Ming said with a smile, and then began to summon souls......
It didn't take long for the king's soul to slowly appear in the room, and he saluted and thanked Gu Ming and his party.
"Okay, you don't have to be polite, tell me about the good life."
"Yes~"
Speaking of the past, the king regretted it.
"It is said that the words are contrary to the ear, but now that I think about it, the monk was clearly here to enlighten me, but at that time, he was angry, and he was so angry that he ordered him to take it down and immerse it in the river, which caused the disaster later......"
The king talked about the events of the year in detail, and finally took out a token "Golden Fragrance White Jade Turtle".
"This is what I had with me back then, and the monster was negligent and didn't take it. You can take this token and go quietly to my king and queen, and tell them the truth......"
Tang Seng was puzzled: "However, even if you tell the truth, they may not believe it, after all, you are no longer in the world, and there is no one to confront you......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Bajie said with a big grin: "It must be the ghost of those people again, if you want the old pig to say, they must have a way to resurrect the king." ”
"Oh? It's true? ”
When he heard this, the king was pleasantly surprised.
Sun Wukong couldn't help frowning.
"This ......" Tang Seng glanced at Sun Wukong and said, "If you don't want Wukong, why don't you go to the sky and ask?" ”
"Okay!"
Sun Wukong had no choice but to respond.
After Sun Wukong left, Gu Ming sneaked into the palace again with the king's token.
Since beating that monster and pretending to be the king, in order to avoid revealing his stuff, he hardly meets the crown prince and queen, and makes excuses to say that he wants to retreat.
In the backyard of the palace, the queen was alone in the empty room, with a resentful face.
I think that in the past, the husband and wife were affectionate and loving. But now, the king has not been with her well for three or four years, and even if he comes, he will only say a few words and leave.
Last time on her birthday, the king himself sent a gift, and she was still happy to come, and wanted to have a warm time with the king.
As a result, the king found another excuse to leave...... In other words, the husband and wife have not had sex together for several years.
This inevitably made the queen suspicious.
No matter how much a person changes, he doesn't just say that he will change, what is wrong?
"Who?"
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the room, causing the queen to exclaim.
"Don't be afraid of ...... queen"
Gu Ming showed a gentle smile.
Unafraid?
It's no wonder if you're not afraid.
On a big night, a man broke into the queen's bedchamber, and no one could be calm.
The queen ran to the door as she shouted that there was an assassin.
However, she ran two steps but could not run, and let her scream, and there was no movement outside.
"Listen to me, Queen...... Here, I was entrusted to show the queen a thing. ”
While speaking, Gu Ming took out the golden-scented white jade turtle.
"This ...... How did this stuff end up in your hands? ”
The queen was taken aback.
You must know that this golden-scented white jade turtle is the object of her love affair with the king, and she personally handed it over to the king.
After that, the king always wore it closely.
But then he told her that he had lost his ...... Unexpectedly, this moment appeared in the hands of others.
"What if I tell the queen that your husband gave it to me with his own hands?"
"Impossible, impossible......"
"Don't be excited, but listen to me...... In fact, the king who is currently staying in the palace is simply fake! ”
"What? What nonsense are you talking about? My husband I won't know? Who the hell are you? ”
Gu Mingjing said to himself: "Your husband actually died three years ago, and was pushed into the well of the Imperial Garden by the current fake king.
If you don't believe me, then think about it, when did the change in your husband begin?
At the same time as he changed, why did that old way disappear mysteriously?
Actually, that old way was changed by a monster, he killed the king and became a king......
In order not to let your mother and son see the flaws, I deliberately alienated you......"
After Gu Ming said this, the queen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
In fact, she didn't say that it was so easy to believe Gu Ming's words, mainly because she already had doubts in her heart.
Including the crown prince, they also think that the change in their father is really a bit incredible.
This is also the mistake of the false king.
After all, it's a monster, and you don't understand the feelings and family affection of the world at all.
He was afraid of revealing a flaw, so he deliberately distanced himself, but isn't this a flaw?
After thinking for a while, the queen couldn't help but say, "But, according to what you said, my husband is dead, how do you know these things?" How could he have given you the token with his own hands? ”
Gu Ming smiled, and his body moved......
The queen's eyes widened immediately, and she almost didn't pounce.
Because, Gu Ming suddenly became her husband's appearance.
Fortunately, Gu Ming didn't want to take advantage, and in a blink of an eye, he changed back to the way he was.
"It turns out that you are a ...... immortal," the queen finally understood now.
"Your husband is now in the Baoling Temple, although he is still a corpse, but there are already masters who have gone to heaven to ask for the elixir, which is expected to resurrect him."
"Really?"
The queen was pleasantly surprised.
"Whether it's true or not, you'll see when you go. If you want to find your husband, don't talk about it. ”
"Then my son ......"
"You can tell him that when the time comes, you will find an excuse to leave the palace and come to Baoling Temple, and your family can be reunited."
"Great, thank you to the immortals, thank you to the immortals!"
Let's say that after Sun Wukong went to the sky, the thief did not go empty, first he had some elixir in his hand, and then he ran to find Taishang Laojun.
After all, when it comes to alchemy, Taishang Laojun is unbeatable.
This time, Taishang Laojun was also happy, and Sun Wukong didn't bother to speak, so he got a "Nine Turns Soul Rejuvenation Pill".
After returning, he immediately fed the king the elixir in the way described by Lao Jun......
It's really amazing, it didn't take long for people to live.
While the master was talking to the king, Sun Wukong quietly found Gu Ming and stuffed the elixir to him: "Shangxian, my grandson got some ...... from Laojun again."
"This ...... You've already sent quite a few last time......"
Gu Ming pretended to refuse.
"It's okay, Lao Sun still has it here, take it, take it."
"Thank you very much."
Gu Ming was overjoyed and accepted it.
If you want to say that this is the elixir of Taishang Laojun, it is really a miracle, and his strength has been greatly improved.
Nie Xiaoqian is naturally also stained, and her realm has advanced by leaps and bounds, and she is afraid that she can withstand a hundred years of penance.
This is only a few pills, and I don't dare to take too many pills at one time, and Sun Wukong almost gave dozens of pills...... I haven't finished eating yet, but this is here again.
Sure enough, this trip to the West came to the right time, and I harvested peach, elixir, and ginseng fruit......
And there is still a long way to go, and there will definitely be a lot to gain.
The king was resurrected, and Sun Wukong found an opportunity to sneak into the palace and inform the queen.
So, the queen discussed with the prince, and then found an excuse to leave the palace separately, and then disguised themselves and came to Baoling Temple.
When the family of three finally met again, they couldn't help but cry.
However, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the false king, the mother and son did not dare to stay for a long time, and after discussing countermeasures for a while, they quietly returned to the palace......
After going back, the mother and son secretly arranged it.
At the same time, Gu Ming and others also prepared.
When the time came, the action began.
On this day, Gu Ming and Sun Wukong, including the fake king, pretended to be attendants and infiltrated the palace under the arrangement of the crown prince.
The main hall of the royal palace.
The king sat upright, and received the worship of the ministers with a very happy appearance.
At this moment, a guard suddenly barged in.
"You are so bold, you dare to break into the palace without permission, and someone ...... come"
One of the ministers was furious, and immediately ordered the palace guards to come forward and take people.
"Slow! Can you see who I am? ”
The king took off his helmet and his guard uniform.
"This ......"
"How...... Two kings? ”
The ministers in the palace were dumbfounded.
The fake king sitting above was even more shocked, and seemed a little incredulous......
Hasn't this guy been dead for three years? How did you come back from the dead?
However, the false king quickly came to his senses and said loudly: "Where did the demon come from, he actually pretended to be this king, came to someone, and took it down for this king!" ”
As soon as they heard the king's order, the palace guards glanced at each other, and they could only rush forward.
"Stop!"
At this time, the prince broke in with a team of guards.
The queen followed her into the temple.
The crown prince and queen entered the palace together, and the guards naturally didn't dare to act rashly.
After all, this matter is too weird, the two kings are in the palace, they have to observe the situation.
"This ...... What the hell is going on? ”
The ministers were also stunned.
The queen pointed her hand angrily: "He is a false king, a monster!" ”
"What?"
"Yokai ......"
The ministers were so frightened that they fell, and they hid.
"Queen, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I be a fake king? ”
"Hmph, do you still dare to quibble until now? All the ministers know that I have always been in love with the king, but in the past three years, you have deliberately alienated me and the crown ......prince under the pretext of purifying your cultivation."
"Queen, this king is not deliberately estranged, but just wants to clean up for a few years. If you have an opinion, this king is by your side every day. ”
"Bastard!"
The king was furious.
Let a monster be by the queen's side every day?
Isn't he so green that he turns purple?
