Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Queen's ...... in Distress

Seeing Tang Seng's resolute attitude, the queen did not force each other again, but stretched out her slender jade hand and slowly poured two glasses of wine.

"Then, can you have a drink with me?"

"This ...... Poor monks never drink alcohol......"

"However, you are a distinguished guest, the royal brother of the Tang King, you have come here, whether you are a monk or a royal brother, you must follow the customs of the countryside......"

After some persuasion by the queen, Tang Seng had no choice but to take a sip of the wine glass.

This is a real breaking of the vows.

In the past, Tang Seng was beaten to death and drunk.

But for some reason, the Queen's tenderness, like this enchanting moonlight, made him a little obsessed......

The other side.

Surrounded by a group of warblers and Yanyan, Sun Wukong and Sha Seng were okay, and they were still able to stabilize their minds.

This is not to say that their minds are more determined than Tang Seng.

The main reason is that they are wonderful, and they are not simply defined by the word "man".

Therefore, beauty is almost useless to the two of them.

But Zhu Bajie...... That's just drowsy and meeting a pillow, that's called a hi.

As for Gu Ming, he didn't pretend to be reserved, drinking and chatting with a group of beauties, full of songs and laughter.

When the banquet was over, Tang Seng still did not return to the room.

At this time, Zhu Bajie began to be funny again, shouting to divide the luggage.

"Brother Monkey, don't wait, Master won't come back, he will definitely meet the queen, and then get married, have a son and become a king.

If you can't get it, it's better to divide your luggage into a ......."

"Idiot Hugh is talking nonsense!"

Sun Wukong shouted angrily.

After a while, Tang Seng finally returned.

"Master......"

Sun Wukong hurriedly greeted him.

"Uh~"

Tang Seng burped.

"Master, you ...... Actually broke the ring and drank? ”

Tang Seng hurriedly combined: "Sins and sins, follow the customs of the country, follow the customs of the country......"

Hearing this, Gu Ming almost didn't laugh out loud.

Of course, it's not wrong to follow the locals.

Many foreign cultures will be influenced by the local area, and some changes will be made appropriately to cater to the psychology and habits of the public, otherwise it will be difficult to popularize.

Even if it is the same denomination, there will be different branches.

Take Buddhism as an example, in fact, in the earliest days, Buddhist disciples could start a family, and in Gu Ming's previous life, they could also start a family.

This is called judging the situation.

Taoism is the same, there are many schools, some abide by the rules, and some go with the flow, when fate comes, you have to start a family.

In general, Taoism is relatively casual, advocating nature, and not so many rules and regulations.

"Hahaha, what did the old pig say? Master, you must have taken a fancy to the Queen, right? ”

Zhu Bajie said with a hippie smile.

"Bajie, Hugh is talking nonsense!"

Tang Seng immediately reprimanded.

As a result, Zhu Bajie was not convinced, and Zhenzhen said: "In fact, in the eyes of the old pig, even if you get married, it's nothing."

Anyway, the queen is a mortal, and when she is gone one day, the master can not go to the west to learn the scriptures......"

"Amitabha, sin and sin!"

Tang Seng sighed and closed his eyes to chant.

The next morning, Tang Seng found an opportunity to call Gu Ming to a place where no one was, and sighed: "Those apprentices and poor monks are inconvenient to communicate, so I want to talk to you." ”

Gu Ming smiled and said, "What's the matter, Elder Tang, could it be you...... Moved by the heart? ”

Tang Seng subconsciously shook his head, and then said with a blank face: "The poor monk's heart to learn scriptures from the West Heaven has not been shaken by half a point, but it is just ...... It's just that last night, for some reason, it turned out to be ...... I had some distractions. ”

"Elder Tang, wouldn't it be said that you haven't achieved the right result yet, even if you are a saint, it is impossible to say that you have no distracting thoughts at all.

Whether it is cultivating Buddhism or cultivating the Tao, it will eventually lead to the path of cultivating the mind, and saints are no exception.

If you have already been sanctified, why do you have to retreat from time to time?

This shows that cultivation is never-ending.

Because of this, you have always thought that your mind is free of distractions is wrong.

In the past, you had no distractions because you didn't meet someone who could appeal to you.

And now...... But I met ......"

"This ...... Shangxian means to say...... Her Majesty? ”

"Isn't that obvious? Since Elder Tang is worried about this matter, it means that your heart has actually been moved by it.

Of course, you don't have to worry about it and think that your practice is not enough.

Some fates are predestined by God.

If the elder is not a monk, then this is a good relationship.

But now the situation ...... For you, it is a fateful love calamity, and it is also a calamity for learning from the West this time.

Where you go, it's up to you......"

In this matter, Gu Ming will not give too many opinions, but will explain the reasons clearly.

In this way, even if Tang Seng finally stayed in his daughter country and did not learn the scriptures, it had nothing to do with him, and the gods in the sky had no excuse to trouble him.

After all, these great gods are constantly testing Tang Seng to see if he is determined.

So just because he said a few words to make Tang Seng change his mind, didn't the temptation of the gods on that day become a joke?

"My heart ......"

Tang Seng looked up at the sky and fell into deep thought.

On the other side, Zhu Bajie once again fell into the flowers.

Of course, firstly, he is more active, and secondly, after last night's temptation, the ministers of the daughter country have already seen that this guy is the best to deal with, and he is also the least determined.

Therefore, after secret discussions, it was decided to choose Zhu Bajie as the breakthrough point in order to divide the scripture learning group.

Of course, it is not to harm them, but to let Tang Seng and others stay in their daughter country as a seeded player.

"Let me tell you, don't look at the old pig is a monk now, I think it was the generalissimo of the canopy back then, and even the fairy Chang'e in the sky secretly promised the old pig a ......."

Anyway, bragging is better than not asking for money, and the old pig is naturally blowing hard.

Of course, it wasn't all blowing, he did have a majestic time back then.

Hearing about Zhu Bajie's glorious past, coupled with the fact that Zhu Bajie has become a powerful man, the daughters' families are even more happy.

"Generalissimo, it's so hard to learn scriptures from the West, don't you want to leave, how good is it to stay in your daughter's country and enjoy Qingfu?"

"That is, stay and have good food, drink and fun every day......"

"Each of you can be a great official, and you can marry many, many wives......"

"There are many maids serving left and right......"

Where can the old pig hear this, when he thinks of the beautiful days in the future, he can't help but salivate.

"Generalissimo, if you want to stay, you can persuade your master. As long as your master is willing to stay, I believe your senior brother will also stay......"

"Okay, the old pig must be persuaded well."

Zhu Bajie swore a promise.

At noon, a maid found Tang Seng and sent a message: "Holy monk, Your Majesty has a decree, let the holy monk accompany Your Majesty into the mountains to hunt." ”

"Hunting?"

Tang Seng was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

After all, he was a monk, and the bloody scene of hunting was really not for him.

The maid seemed to guess Tang Seng's thoughts, and said with a smile: "This is Your Majesty's will, if the holy monk doesn't go, I'm afraid it will be ...... to change Guan Wen."

At this point, the maid said no more.

But the implication is that Tang Seng can't understand it?

If you don't go, then don't think about changing Guan Wen.

If he doesn't change Guan Wen, he won't be able to leave his daughter's country, and he won't be able to go to neighboring countries, unless he takes the way of smuggling to bypass the switch.

However, learning scriptures is a sacred thing, and he is a generation of monks, the royal brother of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, how can he do such a sneaky thing?

At this time, Zhu Bajie came over by coincidence.

It was called a spring breeze on his face, his body was full of fat and rouge, and there were many red lip marks on his face......

"Master......"

Tang Seng turned his head and looked at it, and immediately frowned: "Bajie, you ...... How did you become human? ”

"It's not important...... Zhu Bajie waved his hand with a big grin, and then pulled the master aside and whispered: "Master, you should accompany Your Majesty to hunt, otherwise, what if she is angry and doesn't change Guan Wen for us?" ”

"But ......"

"Master, think about it, even if you don't go, they still have to go hunting.

To put it simply, whether you go or not can't change that fact.

In that case, why should Master run away from the facts? And if you go, you might be able to save some lives. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

"You think, after you go, if you see some young beasts, you can persuade the queen and her party not to harm them, or the wild beasts with their young should not be hunted.

In this way, isn't it also a merit? ”

Tang Seng thought about it, and it seemed that this was the case.

After all, since the beginning of the human race, hunting has been one of the most important means of survival for humans.

Not to mention him alone, even the entire Heavenly Buddha Realm could not change this status quo, after all, this is also a way for all things to survive.

Maybe Bajie is right, since there is no way to change it, then do your best to protect some young beasts that have no attack power.

So, Tang Seng said to the maid: "Amitabha, please also ask the female benefactor to lead the way." ”

"Holy Monk, please!"

Soon after, Tang Seng met the queen.

As soon as they met, they couldn't help but look stunned...... Because, the queen at this time looks like last night.

Last night, I wore a long dress in a palace dress, warm and affectionate, like a flower.

Today, he is dressed in a strong suit, carrying a long sword, bow and arrow, like a general leading the army to fight, heroic and cool, with a unique charm.

Seeing that Tang Seng was a little distracted, the queen smiled and said softly: "Brother Yu, am I beautiful?" ”

"Amitabha!"

Tang Seng came back to his senses and hurriedly recited a Buddha name.

"Alright, Brother Yu, let's go."

On this hunt, the queen did not bring many people, only a dozen retinues.

The queen rode a tall nine-colored deer, while the rest of the retinue walked behind.

"Brother Yu, hunting is the tradition of our daughter country, and you can also see the environment in which we live, most of them are barren mountainous areas, if we don't hunt, we won't be able to survive at all."

"Amitabha Buddha ......"

Tang Seng didn't know how to respond.

He has traveled tens of thousands of miles along the way, and he is naturally very clear about the way of survival of the people.

The vast majority of the daughter country is mountainous, and it is indeed difficult to feed such a large number of people if they only grow crops.

Moreover, hunting, for humans, is not only for the sake of filling the stomach, but also for a balance of survival.

Especially in a country with many mountains like the daughter country, there are many deep mountains and dense forests, if you don't hunt and let the beasts breed, sooner or later the entire daughter country will become the territory of the beasts.

All things must pay attention to a balance in order to survive.

"So, Brother Yu, don't blame us for killing or anything. We are also lives, and in order to survive, we can only take up arms to protect our homes and our loved ones......"

In the case of the previous Tang monk, I am afraid that he will still be unconvinced, and he will debate.

For example, in the original plot, when Sun Wukong killed a tiger, Tang Seng actually said that he would rather be eaten by a tiger than hurt a living being.

His philosophy was that even if he was eaten by a tiger, he was not guilty, but if he was beaten to death, he was guilty......

To put it bluntly, this is pedantic, in folk parlance, a complete nerd, who will only copy the same thing.

However, now Tang Seng has undergone a subtle change in his mentality, while he is learning Buddhism, he is also trying to integrate the concepts of Taoism and Confucianism, and he has begun to know how to be flexible.

After walking for a while, the queen suddenly jumped down, pointed to the nine-colored deer and said, "Brother Yu, you can ride up." ”

"No, no, I'm fine, I'm used to it......"

"But I'm uneasy about letting you walk, so you might as well ride it."

Tang Seng pushed but couldn't, so he had to ride the nine-colored deer.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he rode up, the queen also jumped up, put her arms around his waist, and whispered in his ear: "Brother Yu, how nice it would be if you could be by your side like this for a lifetime......

At that moment, Tang Seng's body stiffened.

But a heart almost melted for it......

The other side.

Gu Ming was very busy.

After all, among the group, he and Tang Seng are the most normal-looking......

Although the vast majority of people in the daughter country have never seen a man, they still have a natural aesthetic.

Therefore, there are many warblers and swallows around him at all times......

Of course, Gu Ming did not take this opportunity to fool around, but took this opportunity to spread the way of Confucianism......

Poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so that the daughters' families were fascinated and rushed to ask for advice.

In this regard, Gu Ming had already prepared and took out a lot of Confucian classics and some of his doctrines and poems to give to everyone.

Many of these women were ministers of the daughter country, which was more conducive to the spread of Confucianism and ideas in the daughter country.

At the same time, Gu Ming also wrote a few calligraphy on the spot at the request of a group of women, and also painted a portrait for his daughter Guotaishi and several important ministers.

All in all, it is to sow the seeds in the daughter country first, and sooner or later there will be a harvest.

……

"Your Majesty, a wild boar has been spotted ahead."

After walking in the mountains for a while, a retinue of pathfinders came to report.

"Well, the hunt begins!"

So, a group of seemingly delicate daughters' families began to hunt wild boars as quickly as the wind.

Looking at their skills, all of them are not weak, including the queen, who also went into battle in person.

It didn't take long for the boar to collapse in a pool of blood......

The first battle was won, and then the group hunted some beasts one after another.

These hunted beasts will be cleaned up later, so the queen and her party just hunt.

That night, the group found a valley to rest.

It can be seen that the queen is very happy, singing and dancing around the bonfire, and pulling Tang Seng to the bonfire to dance together.

It's just a pity that Tang Seng fell into the flowers, looking a little helpless......

Just when everyone was happy, suddenly, a huge wolf demon actually rushed in.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

One of the attendants had sharp eyes and found that the attacking wolf was not an ordinary wolf, but at least twice as large as an ordinary wolf, like a tiger, and its eyes were blood-red, revealing a terrifying red glow in the dark night.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

"Protect the Holy Monk!"

The retinue were loyal, and despite their fear, they fearlessly rushed towards the wolf demon......

Although there are many monsters in the Journey to the West, the territory of the daughter country is relatively peaceful, and it is rare to encounter a monster.

After the queen ascended the throne, she went out hunting every month, and she had never encountered a youkai for the first time.

"Whew~"

The wolf demon was very ferocious, and as soon as he looked at it, he slapped the paw of one of the followers who rushed to the front into a bloody blur.

"Light Rain ......"

Seeing the attendant lying in a pool of blood, the queen couldn't help but cry out in sorrow.

"Your Majesty, you quickly leave with the holy monk, we will block the wolf demon, quickly!"

The leading retinue let out a loud shout and brandished his sword and rushed towards the wolf demon......

At this time, there were more than a dozen entourages blocking the wolf demon regardless of life and death, and if the queen fled with Tang Seng on a nine-colored deer, there was still a chance to escape.

However, the queen did not hesitate and decided to advance and retreat with her subordinates, living and dying together.

"Brother Yu, you quickly ride the nine-colored deer back and call someone......"

The queen jerked Tang Seng towards the nine-colored deer.

"No, how could I leave you behind...... ...... of them."

At the moment of life and death, Tang Seng couldn't even take care of the self-proclaimed poor monk, so he used me.

"Don't say more, I can't bother you......"

The queen shouted at Tang Seng, then called the nine-colored deer to her side, forcibly pushed Tang Seng up, and then slapped the nine-colored deer heavily: "Lu'er, you must leave the ...... with the holy monk safely."

The nine-colored deer let out a mournful roar and looked back at the queen step by step.

"Brother Yu, if there is a fate in the next life...... Meet Brother Brother Royale again! ”

After saying that, he brandished his long sword and joined the warband.

Although the strength of the queen and her party is not low, otherwise they would not dare to go deep into the mountains and forests to hunt.

However, what they encountered was a ferocious wolf demon, and it was difficult for ordinary swords to hurt its roots, and the big deal was some minor skin injuries.

However, every attack of the wolf demon is almost a nightmare for the daughters' families.

It didn't take long for four of his followers to wither, and several more were seriously injured......

In this case, in the end, no one can escape, and all of them have to become a delicacy in the mouth of the wolf demon.

"Your Majesty, why don't you go with you......"

"I can't leave you ......"

On the other side, Tang Seng heard the movement behind him and couldn't help but burst into tears.

The Queen's warm and affectionate image kept coming to his mind......

The sound of the Queen's heartbroken liver and intestines still echoing in his ears......

If there is a fate in the afterlife...... If there is a fate in the afterlife......

The hurdles of this life have not been passed, what are you talking about in the next life?
