Chapter 32: True and False Monkey King

"Brother ......"

In the palace, the scorpion, who pretended to be the king of the daughter country, looked at Tang Seng affectionately, while slowly pouring wine.

When he received the task from the Bodhisattva, the scorpion spirit was very surprised.

But at that time, she was thinking that after this task was completed, she would be able to be enlightened by the Bodhisattva, and she would be able to achieve positive results in one step and rank among the immortals.

After meeting Tang Seng, her mentality changed subtly.

The mood was still pleasantly surprised, but the task was diluted and became her own pursuit.

To put it simply, after meeting Tang Seng, her heart was moved.

She decided to leave Tang Seng desperately, not only to get people, but also to get the heart of this man.

Speaking of which, Tang Seng does attract women, he has red lips and white teeth, gentle and elegant, coupled with the identity of the royal brother, which makes a group of female goblins have a desire to conquer him.

Although the scorpion spirit can only change into the appearance of the king of the daughter country because of the mission.

But it doesn't matter, she's a goblin and can change at any time, and it's not too late to change back to her original appearance when she completely captures this man's heart.

"Your Majesty, aren't we agreed? When I traveled west again to learn the scriptures, I stopped breaking my abstinence from drinking. ”

"But Brother Yu, do you really want to leave me like this? We have become married, and I am your wife......"

The scorpion essence's acting skills are also quite good, and when he speaks, his eyes are tearful, and he looks gloomy and resentful.

She knew in her heart that she couldn't be strong against a man like Tang Seng, she could only try to be as weak as possible, so that he could be soft-hearted.

As long as his heart is soft, it will be easy to deal with.

Sure enough, as soon as the scorpion spirit said this, Tang Seng's heart couldn't help but become soft.

He couldn't help but think of the carefree and carefree days after he got married......

However, he did not lose his mind.

Does he always feel that something is not quite right? With what he knows about the Queen? It should not be possible to make an agreement and then regret it.

If you want to say that she is not a queen, but she can't see any flaws in the other party's voice and demeanor? So what's going on?

The other side? Sun Wukong also faintly felt that something was wrong.

Although he didn't see anything wrong with the palace, including the maids in the palace? They are all ordinary people.

But, there is always an intuition in the heart? It doesn't feel that simple.

Thereupon? quietly found Zhu Bajie to discuss......

It turned out to be the wrong person.

Zhu Bajie fell into the flowers again, how could he be in the mood to chat with Sun Wukong, and after a few perfunctory words, he went to those maids to talk about his life ideals.

After thinking about it, Sun Wukong decided to return to his daughter's country to see the situation.

For this? I don't know Guanyin's carelessness? Or deliberately left a line, and did not do anything in the daughter country.

Therefore, Sun Wukong quietly went to his daughter's country for a walk, only to find that the queen had not left the palace at all, and there was no palace outside.

So what? Sun Wukong finally woke up, is the queen in the palace fake? I just don't know if it's a goblin or who changed.

Since even he can't see the other party's true body, does that mean that this fake queen is not small? Or is there someone behind it......

Distinct, another test.

So what to do?

Do you want to remind Master?

After Sun Wukong returns to the palace? Caught in a dilemma.

If you don't remind Master? What if Master is really confused by the other party? Insisting on staying, wouldn't it be a big thing to learn from the scriptures?

If you remind Master, it will ruin the other party's plan, and there will definitely be other problems in the future.

After thinking about it, Sun Wukong finally decided to remind the master.

After all, even if you will face new tests in the future, you must at least choose to survive this hurdle. Otherwise, if the master is really confused by the other party, I am afraid that this matter will have to be replaced.

In this way, won't the previous efforts be in vain?

So, Sun Wukong turned into a mosquito and flew to Tang Seng's ear and whispered the reason.

Unexpectedly, Tang Seng heard Sun Wukong's reminder, but he behaved very calmly.

First, he had suspicions in his heart, and second, this time is different from the past, and now Tang Seng has a little strength, and he is no longer panicked when something happens like before.

Since it is a test, it is enough to face it calmly.

So, in the next few days, Tang Seng did not reveal the identity of the other party, and the scorpion essence was wronged.

Of course, to say that it is a hypocrisy is actually a half-truth.

After all, the scorpion is too similar, knowing that she is a fake queen, Tang Seng will also feel pity. After all, the two have become relatives, that is, husband and wife.

Of course, Tang Seng is not perfunctory scorpion essence, since he knows that this is a test, he also takes this opportunity to sharpen his mind again.

After all, when he left his daughter's country, he was still a little reluctant in his heart.

Before I knew it, a few days passed.

Tang Seng is becoming more and more sober, but the scorpion spirit is too deep into the play, and he really regards himself as a queen, and he wants to do it in every possible way......

As for the consequences...... She was too lazy to think about it.

Even if it makes the Bodhisattva angry, even if it can't achieve positive results this time, it doesn't matter.

As long as she and Tang Seng can achieve positive results, it is better than anything else.

But in this way, Tang Seng couldn't be perfunctory...... The scorpion spirit can fake it, but he can't.

First, it will damage his Taoism, and second, if he really wants to fake it, then he will completely fail this test, and don't expect to go to the west to learn the scriptures again.

So, Tang Seng stopped pretending and had a showdown......

"Who the hell are you?"

"Brother Yu, what's wrong with you? How could such strange words be asked? ”

The scorpion was carefully startled, but how could he easily admit it in his mouth?

"No need to pretend, I know you're not the queen...... And Wukong has also gone to see his daughter's country, and his daughter is still in the palace, who are you? Why pretend to be the Queen? ”

At this point, the scorpion spirit finally knew that it couldn't fit it anymore.

It stands to reason that her task would be completed at this point, after all, the Bodhisattva had said that no matter what the outcome was, it would benefit her.

However, the scorpion spirit was not reconciled.

Her current psychology is not just to complete the task, but to really get Tang Seng.

So, tears flowed out of their eyes......

This time it's not all pretending, but the true feelings.

"Brother Yu, why are you so ruthless? Am I bad for you? I'll admit, I'm not a queen, however, I can be like any woman you like.

If you like, I can change my look one day.

I just beg you not to leave me. Because...... I really like Brother Royal......"

"Amitabha!" Tang Seng recited a Buddha name, and said: "Female donor, why are you suffering?" Since you can change a lot, it proves that you are not an ordinary person.

There are many men in the world, why do you have to keep the poor monks? ”

"There are indeed many men in the world, but there is only one royal brother. Now, I'll tell you the truth......"

At this point, the scorpion spirit transformed back into her own form.

Compared to the queen, her beauty is not inferior, and each has its own style.

"Brother Yu, it took me a thousand years of hard cultivation to cultivate this flower-like beauty.

Transformed into a human form for hundreds of years, he has been living in this pipa cave and cultivating, and has never done anything that hurts nature and reason.

If you don't believe me, you can go to the neighborhood and ask the people if I have harmed the lives of the people.

Not to mention harmful, I have been feeding on flower dew and wild fruits on weekdays, just hoping that one day I can achieve positive fruits......

In all these hundreds of years, I have never had a heart for any man.

But when I met Brother Royal, I finally understood that it was Brother Brother I had been waiting for.

It was Heaven that sent you to me.

Isn't this a kind of fate?

Brother Yu, don't go, okay? If we stay and practice together, we can achieve positive results without learning the scriptures. ”

"Amitabha...... The poor monk was deeply grateful for the affection of the female benefactor, but he could not accept it.

Since you have approached the poor monk by pretending to be the queen, you should know that the poor monk and the queen have been married......"

Without waiting for Tang Seng to finish speaking, the scorpion hurriedly said: "Brother Yu, don't worry, I won't force you to leave the queen, I just want to be with Brother Yu, even if it's a concubine or a maid." ”

"Amitabha...... Female donor, don't say such a thing, the poor monk and the queen are forced to marry, and they have already broken the precepts, how can they marry another one? ”

"Since you've already taken the vow once, why don't you do it again......

"Amitabha, sin and sin ......"

One is determined to marry, the other is determined to leave, and it is impossible to talk about it.

The scorpion essence's patience was finally exhausted, and in annoyance, he simply stabbed Tang Seng with a poisonous needle, and said: "No one can solve this poison, if you agree to marry me, I will detoxify you, otherwise...... Immortals can't save you. ”

As a result, Tang Seng would rather die than obey.

"Okay, since Brother Yu is so ruthless, let's go!"

The scorpion spirit said in a cold tone.

"Thank you, donor."

Tang Seng bowed and hurriedly left the scorpion spirit's room.

As a result, as soon as he returned to the wing, the poison attacked......

As soon as Sun Wukong asked, he knew that Tang Seng had been poisoned by the scorpion essence, and in a fit of anger, he ran to the scorpion essence to fight.

Unexpectedly, although this scorpion spirit is not as good as Sun Wukong, when she turns into a half-human and half-scorpion, she can release a poisonous smoke, and even Sun Wukong does not dare to be easily contaminated.

After that, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng also came to help in the battle, but they were still helpless against the poisonous smoke of the scorpion essence.

The three brothers can only stop fighting for the time being.

"Senior brother, how is this good? Master has been poisoned, and we won't cure ......."

"Yes, senior brother, that woman's poisonous smoke is too powerful, we can't deal with it."

"That's it, you look at Master, I'll go to heaven and ask if I can find an antidote."

As a result, I asked a circle, but no one could answer.

Someone told Sun Wukong that this scorpion spirit was not an ordinary goblin, he had stayed in the Western Heaven Buddha Realm back then, and he had been stung by Rulai, and even Rulai was sweating in pain at that time.

In desperation, Sun Wukong could only go to Guanyin.

"Alas, unjust!"

Guanyin couldn't help but sigh.

This difficulty, speaking of which, was also arranged by her.

According to the development of the situation, Tang Seng had already passed the test, but he didn't know that the scorpion spirit wanted to fake the show and refused to let Tang Seng go.

The bell must be tied to the bell, and this matter can only be solved by Guanyin.

So, Guanyin accompanied Sun Wukong to the Pipa Cave.

After that, I don't know what Guanyin said to the scorpion essence, in short, the scorpion essence was forced to helplessly detoxify Tang Seng, and let the master and apprentice leave the Pipa Cave.

A catastrophe has finally been overcome.

It's just that Tang Seng didn't relax in his heart, God knows when and where the next catastrophe will come again.

After all, there's still a long way to go.

……

On this day, the master and apprentice came to a small market town in the mountains.

"Master, sit down and rest for a while, I'm tired and thirsty all the way."

As soon as he entered the town, Zhu Bajie was lazy and sick, and begged Tang Seng.

"It's good!" Tang Seng didn't refuse, raised his hand and pointed to the nearby tea stall: "Go to the tea stall to rest, just drink some tea to quench your thirst." ”

So, the master and apprentice walked to the tea stall and sat down.

There were more than a dozen tea guests sitting on the stall, and when they saw Tang Seng and his party coming over, they couldn't help but talk about it.

A handsome monk, three strange-looking people, and a white horse, isn't this the legendary foursome?

At present, the fame of Tang monks and apprentices is getting bigger and bigger, and it is spreading farther and farther, including his whereabouts, some people are paying attention from time to time.

Therefore, as soon as the master and apprentice sat down, someone asked curiously: "Dare to ask the holy monk from the Tang Dynasty in the East and go to the West to learn scriptures?" ”

"Amitabha, the poor monk Xuanzang, is from the Eastern Tang Dynasty."

"Great, it's really you!"

"What about this ...... Is it Monkey King? ”

Someone glanced at Sun Wukong and asked.

Zhu Bajie preemptively said: "The old pig is the generalissimo of the canopy......"

As a result, no one paid attention to him, and almost everyone flocked to Sun Wukong.

"Strange, why is there another Monkey King?"

"That's right, what about the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain?"

"Could it be the doppelganger of the Great Sage?"

Hearing everyone's discussions, Sun Wukong couldn't help laughing and said: "The Monkey King you are talking about is my grandson, and my grandson still had a title called the Monkey King in Huaguo Mountain......

"However, we also have a Huaguo Mountain here, and there is a king in the mountain called Monkey King......

"What? You also have Huaguo Mountain here, and there is a Monkey King in the mountain? ”

Sun Wukong thought he had misheard.

"That's right, we thought that the Great Sage didn't go to learn the scriptures, but returned to Huaguo Mountain."

"Phew! Drink ......" Sun Wukong scratched his ears and cheeks, and shouted at the crowd: "Tell me quickly, where is that Huaguo Mountain?" ”

"That's it...... Not far to the west, about twenty miles away......"

"Idiot, Senior Brother Sha, take care of Master, Lao Sun will come when he goes!"

When Sun Wukong heard that someone dared to pretend to be his name as the Monkey King, where could he bear it, and immediately flew away.

"Goku ......"

Tang Seng subconsciously called.

It's just that where does Sun Wukong have time to listen to him now?

In desperation, Tang Seng had to turn his head and ask the tea customers on the stall: "Ladies and gentlemen, what is the matter with Huaguo Mountain and Monkey King you are talking about?" ”

Under the scrambling explanation, Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng finally listened to it.

There is a mountain more than 20 miles west from this place, which used to be called the Flower Mountain, because the rocks of this mountain contain more ore, so the grass and trees do not grow, and it is desolate.

However, two years ago, a monkey came to occupy the mountain and called himself the Monkey King.

I don't know what method was cast, but this mountain became verdant, flowers and fruits were fragrant, and a stone workshop was set up at the foot of the mountain, and the book was written: Huaguo Mountain.

In the mountain, a cave house was also opened, which was called: Water Curtain Cave Heaven.

There was even a banner outside the cave with the inscription: Monkey King.

As a result, it caused a sensation among the people within a radius of 100 miles.

After all, many people have heard the legend of Tang monks and apprentices, and they have also heard some legendary stories of Monkey King's havoc in the palace.

As a result, some bold people prepared livestock, incense and other things to go on a pilgrimage to Huaguo Mountain.

After seeing the Monkey King, sure enough, it was exactly the same as the legend.

Importantly, there's also the iconic weapon: the wishful golden hoop stick, which can be big or small, and can do whatever you want.

At this time, people have nothing to doubt, just that the great sage doesn't want to go to learn the scriptures, and wants to find a place to settle down.

For a time, there were many pilgrims, and there were some people who wanted to worship under the Great Sage, and they couldn't be disciples, so they could be slaves.

I heard that the monkeys who followed the Great Sage back then could live forever, who wouldn't be blushing?

That Monkey King is also generous, and in the past two years, he has selected nearly a hundred disciples, and all the food and drink are provided by the people nearby.

Hearing what the people said, Zhu Bajie was confused: "Which goblin is so bold?" Pretending to be Brother Monkey? ”

Sha Seng also said: "No, I'm impatient, senior brother, I will go and promise to beat that goblin to the soul." ”

"Huh? That Monkey King is a goblin? ”

"Hugh is talking nonsense, Brother Monkey is the Monkey King, what you said is just fake, it is a goblin change."

Zhu Bajie shouted indignantly.

"Amitabha~"

Tang Seng recited a Buddha horn and raised his eyes to look into the distance......

This journey has been really full of disasters and difficulties.
