Subsequently, the group stayed in Fengxian County for several days.

Tang Seng naturally had to preach the scriptures, and Gu Ming certainly would not miss the opportunity to promote Confucian culture and ideas.

At the time of parting, almost all the people of the city spontaneously came to see each other, and their gratitude was overflowing.

After continuing to travel more than 100 miles, I came to a big city: Yuhua Mansion.

Yuhua Mansion is a county under the Tianzhu Kingdom, with a population of about more than 100,000 in the urban area, which is a relatively large city for Xiniu Hezhou.

As soon as the Tang monks and apprentices entered the city, some people hurriedly ran to report to the prince.

"Great, hurry, go and invite the holy monk and his party to the palace!"

The prince was pleasantly surprised, and immediately ordered his subordinates to please.

On the street, Gu Ming and Tang monks and apprentices were admiring the local customs.

Compared with the countries passed along the way, Yuhua Mansion is much more prosperous, whether it is the goods on the street or the clothing of the people, which makes the exotic atmosphere of this place even stronger.

There is no winter in Yuhua Mansion, and the weather is relatively hot all year round.

As a result, both men and women, young and old, wear less clothes.

Most of the men wear short coats, and most of the women wear crop tops, showing off their slim waists generously.

At this time, Zhu Bajie can be regarded as an eye-opener, and he drooled along the way......

As he was walking, several men walked over and walked up to Tang Seng and bowed: "Dare to ask the holy monk if he is a Sanzang master from the Eastern Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Amitabha Buddha is a poor monk."

"Great, holy monk, my prince is invited."

As soon as he heard that the prince was invited, Zhu Bajie was slanderous again, and he didn't care to look at the woman on the street again, so he hurriedly responded: "Lead the way, lead the way!" ”

"Please!"

Tang Seng took the initiative to introduce as he walked: "This is Gu Ming, the national teacher of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"It turned out to be a national teacher, and the villain was disrespectful and disrespectful!"

The people hurried to give their salutes.

"Excuse me!" Gu Ming smiled and raised his hand.

After coming to the palace, the prince personally greeted Tang Seng and his party to the back garden.

"This king has long admired the name of the holy monk and the national teacher, and he has been looking forward to it day and night, but he has been looking forward to you."

"Father's ......"

At this moment, three young men ran over in a hurry.

"Holy monk, national teacher, these are the three sons of this king......"

The prince immediately introduced.

These three guys are martial arts idiots, they have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and they are born with great strength, so they can hardly find opponents on weekdays.

As soon as he heard that Tang monks and apprentices had come to the palace, they rushed to see it.

"You three, why don't you see the holy monk?"

Seeing that the three sons had been staring at Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng, the prince couldn't help frowning and drinking.

At this moment, the three princes arched their hands with a big grin.

Then, the third prince said to Sun Wukong: "You are the Monkey King?" ”

"That's right, it's my grandson!"

Not to be outdone, Zhu Bajie naturally introduced: "I am the marshal of the canopy!" ”

This guy has a good face, and he doesn't say that he is Zhu Bajie, but he reported his position in Heavenly Court.

"You came just in time, our three brothers heard that you have a great ability to subdue demons and eliminate demons along the way, so I want to compare with you."

Obviously, these three princes have too little knowledge, and the frog at the bottom of the well, with the body of a mortal, actually wants to choose Sun Wukong and others.

"Puff~"

The sand monk, who has always been unsmiling, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Tang Seng wanted to laugh, but he was not funny, so he could only endure and recite a sentence of Amitabha.

Gu Ming didn't squeak, drank tea silently, and waited for the three brothers to make a fool of themselves.

"A rebel must not be rude!"

The prince hurriedly scolded his three sons.

"It's okay, it's okay......"

Zhu Bajie is worried that he has no chance to perform.

After all, there are princesses and maidens in this back garden, as well as many young and beautiful maids.

Such an occasion is suitable for showing off your majesty.

As he spoke, Zhu Bajie took a few steps forward with his palladium nail......

"Bajie, Hugh is messing around."

Tang Seng hurriedly stopped.

He was afraid that Zhu Bajie would not hurt the other party lightly, so it would be difficult to explain.

However, Zhu Bajie was unwilling to give up the opportunity to perform, and his eyes rolled and said: "In this way, let's compare in a different way." ”

"In what way?"

The three princes asked in unison.

"Optimistic about ......"

Zhu Bajie picked up the nail palladium and danced a few times, then threw the nail palladium to the ground and said with a smile: "The three of you, no matter who you are, as long as you can handle this weapon, it will be counted as my old pig losing, how about it?" ”

"What?"

"Are you humiliating us?"

The three princes immediately blushed and shouted in unison.

At the same time, the prince and the princess couldn't help frowning.

Although they have heard some legends of Tang monks and apprentices, they are also very confident in their sons.

If you want to say that you can't beat it, but these three sons are born with divine power, plus they have practiced martial arts since childhood, and they can lift thousands of pounds, so it is impossible to say that they can't hold a weapon, right?

"No, no, no, the old pig is serious, if you don't believe it, you can try it."

"So, what if you lose?"

The eldest prince couldn't help but ask.

"If the old pig loses, he will worship you as a teacher!"

Zhu Bajie blurted out.

"Bajie ......" Tang Seng couldn't help frowning.

"Don't worry, Master, he won the immortal pig." Zhu Bajie said with confidence.

"Okay, that's what you said, if I lose, I'll worship you as a teacher!"

The eldest prince is equally confident.

In his mind, how much can a weapon weigh? He uses more than 100 pounds of weapons on weekdays, and ordinary people have a hard time holding them, but he dances all the same.

So, he walked up to the nail palladium, first with one hand......

Lift it hard...... Didn't move.

At this moment, Fang Cai was shocked, spread out his hands and spit saliva, rubbed it, and then clenched his hands hard, and shouted: "Get up!" ”

As a result, it only made the nail palladium move slightly.

In this way, the second prince and the third prince couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"Big brother, let me try ......"

The second prince had to come forward, but he didn't lift the nail palladium even though he tried his best to eat.

"No, they ...... They must have cast a spell. ”

The third prince was unconvinced, and couldn't help but shout loudly.

"Yes, yes, you must have cast a spell, right?"

The prince's face sank: "Don't mess around, if you lose, you lose, and you are willing to lose!" ”

"Yes...... But the child was not convinced, how could there be such a heavy weapon in the world? ”

At this moment, Zhu Bajie can be regarded as finding an excuse to show off, stepped forward and gently picked up the nail palladium and said, "So you have little knowledge, right?"

Let me tell you, this weapon was made by Taishang Laojun himself and given by the Jade Emperor when I was the generalissimo of the canopy, and the name is Shangbaoqin Gold Palladium, weighing 5,000 and 48 catties......"

"Hizz~"

There was a sudden gasp at the scene.

After all, these are mortals, how can they not be surprised to hear that a weapon weighs thousands of catties?

Seeing Zhu Bajie's triumphant appearance, Sun Wukong couldn't help but take out the golden hoop stick and shouted: "Idiot, what are you proud of?" Is your palladium as heavy as my golden rod? ”

"Uh......"

Zhu Bajie suddenly stopped squeaking.

Sun Wukong turned the golden hoop stick into an ordinary size and stood on the ground, and then said to the three princes: "Come on, come on, you go up and try to see if you can hold it." ”

"This ......"

The three princes have already suffered losses, and this time they dare not be careless.

So, the three of them went up together, trying to pick up the stick together.

The results can be imagined.

"Hahaha, Lao Sun's stick is called Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick, it was the Dinghai Divine Needle of the East Palace of the East China Sea back then, weighing 13,500 catties, which can be big or small......"

"Hizz~"

The scene was another gasp.

"There is also Senior Brother Sha's crescent shovel, which is also more than 5,000 catties......"

At this time, the three little princes were completely convinced, and after glancing at each other, they bowed their heads and bowed: "I ask the three masters to accept us as apprentices." ”

Zhu Bajie just wanted to respond, but was glared at by Sun Wukong and quickly shut up.

After all, it is not a trivial matter to accept apprentices, and Tang Seng is still sitting here.

The prince wished that his three sons could worship Sun Wukong as a teacher, but he also knew that Tang Seng could only be the master of this matter, so he bowed respectfully to Tang Seng.

"Holy monk, my three sons sincerely worship the teacher, and I hope that the holy monk can be fulfilled."

"This ......"

Tang Seng glanced at Sun Wukong with some embarrassment.

Sun Wukong thought for a while and said, "In this way, the apprentices will be exempted, but I and Bajie and Senior Brother Sha can teach you some martial arts." ”

This can be regarded as an expedient measure, and although the three little princes have some regrets, they are still happy to accept it.

Next, these three guys came out of the demon moth again, and they had to create a "high imitation version" according to the appearance of the golden hoop stick, the nine-tooth nail palladium, and the crescent shovel.

In short, the shape should be exactly the same, but the weight is lighter, and it can be done by two or three hundred catties, after all, it is too heavy and difficult to turn.

In this regard, Sun Wukong did not refuse.

So, the three princes immediately summoned the skilled craftsmen of the city and began to imitate these three weapons.

At the same time, Gu Ming's side was not idle.

The princess has a younger sister named Alia, who has been influenced by her grandfather since she was a child, and is very interested in the legendary oriental culture.

It's a pity that there are quite few written records about the East in Tianzhu Kingdom, and most of them are some folk circulation.

Therefore, as soon as I heard that there were a few distinguished guests from the Tang Dynasty in the palace, I came to the palace excitedly to ask my sister for help in the introduction, saying that she wanted to know more about the customs of the East and learn some oriental culture.

Actually, not to mention Alia, the prince and the princess are also more interested in oriental culture.

After all, in Tianzhu Kingdom, there are many legends about the East, which also makes the East more and more mysterious, so that many people are quite interested in the customs of the East.

So, the princess took her sister to find Gu Ming, hoping that Gu Ming could explain some things about the Tang Dynasty and teach some oriental culture.

In this regard, Gu Ming naturally couldn't ask for it.

Even if the sisters don't send it to the door, he will find a way to teach Confucianism.

For example, the three little princes are more suitable candidates.

Although those three guys are obsessed with martial arts, Gu Ming has a way to make them both civil and military.

"If you want to talk about oriental culture, you have to start with the hundred schools of thought......

Gu Ming began to talk endlessly, telling the princess and sisters the story about the contention of a hundred schools of thought.

After that, he began to talk about poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the change of dynasties, and customs...... The sisters were fascinated by what they heard.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

Aliya was already fascinated by what she heard, and she pestered Gu Ming to give him lectures every day.

Gu Ming sent some of the books he had written, as well as the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucianism, to Alia, and patiently explained them to her.

At the same time, the three princes were also urging the craftsmen to hurry up and forge weapons.

Unexpectedly, on the evening of the third day, the weapons of Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng disappeared mysteriously......

Early in the morning, when the craftsman was about to start work, he found that the weapon used for reference was missing, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and screamed.

The three princes rushed to the scene, stunned and dumbfounded.

After coming back to his senses, the eldest prince pointed at the craftsmen and shouted angrily: "You are so bold that you dare to steal weapons!" ”

"Wronged!"

A group of craftsmen immediately exclaimed.

"Arrest them all!"

"Yes!"

The royal family rushed up one after another and tied up a group of craftsmen.

Subsequently, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng also heard the news and came over.

"Let them go, they didn't steal it."

Although the golden hoop stick was lost, Sun Wukong seemed very calm and ordered the three princes to release him.

"Great Sage, this ......"

The eldest prince looked anxious and wanted to explain, but Sun Wukong waved his hand and said: "If you want to move those three weapons, how can you rely on them?" Not to mention being quiet. ”

"That's true, but ...... Who knows what method they used. ”

"No, it was the monster who took the weapon away, and Lao Sun could sense that there was still a trace of demonic energy here."

"Huh? Monster? ”

The three princes couldn't help but exclaim.

"There is a possibility ...... this"

At this time, the prince also walked over with a gloomy face.

"Lord Wang, is there a monster cave near here?"

Sun Wukong asked.

The prince nodded: "There is a mountain called Leopard's Head Mountain to the west of the city, and there is a cave in that mountain, called Hukou Cave."

It is said that there is a monster in that cave mansion, with a human lion's head, and he calls himself the king of yellow lions......"

"So that's the case, Lao Sun will go and find out first."

After speaking, Sun Wukong immediately soared away.

When the three princes saw it, they were even more amazed, and secretly blushed for their original arrogance.

Although the weapon was lost, Sun Wukong did not blame the three princes, and he was not in a hurry.

Because he believed that he would be able to get it back.

After all, apart from him, not to mention these monsters, even those immortals in the sky, there are few who can summon the golden hoop stick.

It's not about the weight, but the magic weapon to recognize the master, as long as he looks for it carefully, he will definitely be able to sense the location of the golden hoop stick.

Soon after entering the mountain, Sun Wukong sensed a familiar demonic aura...... It was the wisp of demonic energy left in the palace.

This means that the demon who stole the weapon last night was nearby.

Fleeing to the demon qi, Sun Wukong soon found two little demons.

So, he immediately turned into a small flying insect following and eavesdropping on the conversation between the two.

After a while, I finally heard why.

It was the Yellow Lion King who stole the weapon, and the body was a golden lion.

Although this guy was in the mountains, he also faintly sensed the aura of three weapons, so he took a few demons and quietly flew into the city to steal the weapons.

After successfully getting the weapon back, he was overjoyed, so he sent two little demons to the Jiuqu Panheng Cave of Zhujie Mountain to invite his ancestor Weng Jiuling Yuansheng to come over to celebrate.

This Nine Spirits Yuan Saint Body is a nine-headed lion, and the Tao is very deep.

In order to find a backer, the golden lion is willing to call himself a descendant and call the nine lions his ancestors.

After understanding the reason, Sun Wukong couldn't help but say, killed the two little demons on the spot, and took off the opponent's waist card.

Then he went back and called Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng, first went to see the two little demons who had hung up, and then let Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng change into the appearance of two little demons.

Sun Wukong turned into a little insect and followed, and went to the Hukou Cave together.

As soon as he returned to the cave, Huang Shijing couldn't help but look puzzled: "You two came back so soon?" ”

"Uh-huh......"

Zhu Bajie responded absentmindedly, but his eyes glanced not far away: there, there were golden hoop sticks, nine-tooth nail palladium, and crescent shovels......
