Chapter 608: Qilin Mountain Hedgehog Cave
Rhubarb plus croton, even those who don't know how to medicine know, are powerful laxatives. It's not that Cui Shi deliberately tossed this poor king of Zhu Ziguo, mainly because of the recipe recorded in Journey to the West, there must be some truth, and he didn't dare to tamper with it indiscriminately, in case there was no medicinal effect, it would be another trouble.
Sure enough, these three pills that Cui Shi called "Wujin Dan" were sent to the palace, and the king of Zhu Ziguo took three pills in a row, and it was soon an indescribable overturning of the river and the sea, pouring out all the filthy and diseased roots that had accumulated in the abdomen for three years, coupled with the miraculous effect of the white dragon horse and horse urine, the king of Zhu Ziguo gradually felt that his heart was open-minded, and his blood was harmonized, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Tang Seng hurriedly helped the king up, and while saying some humble words, he secretly said that his big apprentice really had two strokes, and he could actually cure diseases.
Open the East Pavilion, arrange the banquet, this is the highest hospitality ceremony in Zhu Ziguo, King Zhu Zi personally accompanied, only four Tang monks and apprentices sat during the banquet, and the others even if they were important ministers of the country, they could only wait on the side.
Wine is good wine, food is good food, and the happiest thing is, of course, Zhu Bajie, he doesn't care about any greetings and polite words, and he opens his bow left and right and eats with a mouth full of oil.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, Zhu Bajie drank seven or eight points of drunkenness, and listened to the king's words for most of the hour, nothing more than saying that the master from the Tang Dynasty was profound in Buddhism, and Elder Sun was even more pedantic and so on, he couldn't help but be a little unconvinced, and said with a hum:
"Your Majesty, the medicine you took is also thanks to me......!
"Aristolochia!"
Cui Shi had long been on guard against this sentence, and hurriedly interrupted quickly, thinking that it was really no different from what was recorded in the original text, and the pig's head drank a little wine, and began to grin.
Speaking of which, the CCTV version of Journey to the West also made a small plot of this little episode, but the aristolochia in the original book was replaced with morpholine, Cui Shi checked it on the Internet, and I don't know if this is the earliest product placement......
Cui Shi said with a smile: "Aristolochia is bitter and non-toxic, it can fix asthma and eliminate phlegm, which is very helpful to His Majesty's condition." However, as far as I can see, Your Majesty is overly anxious and depressed. I see that Zhu Zi's domestic wind and rain are smooth, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, Your Majesty, as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, why is he so concerned?"
Of course, this is knowingly asked, and the topic is also turned to the main thing.
This......
King Zhu Ziguo was silent for a while, let out a long sigh, and said gloomily: "Elder Sun came all the way from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and must have passed through many states?"
"Well, there are always five or six. ”
Cui Shi didn't have to think about it, and replied casually.
"Does Elder Sun know what to call after other countries?"
"Most of them are called the East Palace, the West Palace, and the Main Palace. ”
Zhu Bajie seemed to want to brush up on his presence today, the question was very simple, and he interjected again to answer.
"I, Zhu Ziguo, have a slightly different title. I call the main palace the Golden Sacred Palace, the East Palace the Jade Sacred Palace, and the West Palace the Silver Sacred Palace. But now...... Only the two holy palace maidens of silver and jade remained. ”
"Where is the Golden Sacred Palace?"
Zhu Bajie was stunned for a moment, and naturally asked, but it saved Cui Shi's tongue.
"Alas!"
King Zhu Ziguo sighed again, drank half of the residual wine, and then wept and said: "Three years ago, during the Duanyang Festival, a gust of wind suddenly came, and a goblin appeared in mid-air, claiming to be Sai Tai Sui. This goblin said that he lived in the Qilin Mountain Hedgehog Cave, and there was a lady in the cave, and I heard that my Golden Sacred Palace lady was beautiful and captivated, and she wanted to beg to be a lady. If you don't sacrifice your mother within three sounds, you will eat the widow first, and then eat the ministers, and eat my Zhu Ziguo and Manchu all over the country. I couldn't bear such a tragic thing to happen in Zhu Zi's country, so I had to push the Golden Saint Palace Niangniang out of the hall and be taken away by a gust of demonic wind. Since then, I have been suffering from a problem of worry and fright, and if it weren't for Elder Sun's skillful and benevolent heart, I'm afraid I wouldn't have lasted long......
"Haha, I'm going to be a big deal!"
Zhu Bajie didn't wait to finish listening, and laughed loudly: "If you talk about curing diseases, my old pig is a layman, but when it comes to subduing demons and eliminating demons, I don't know how much I have done along the way." This Sai Tai Sui is not worth mentioning, it's just a matter of catching it!"
Yes?
King Zhu Zi was shocked when he heard this, and at first he only thought that this fat-headed and fat-brained guy had drunk too much wine and was talking nonsense, but seeing that the other elders looked calm, even Elder Tang, who had always been low-key and modest, did not say anything to deny it.
Today, I really met a fairy master!
King Zhu Zi hurriedly left the table, knelt on his knees and bowed again and again: "If I can rescue the mother of the Golden Holy Palace, I am willing to lead the three palaces and nine concubines out of the city to serve the people, and hand over all the rivers and mountains of Zhu Ziguo to the Tang Dynasty Holy Monk!"
Ahem, what do I want your country to do.
I want the purple golden bell and the golden retriever roar that is the mount of Guanyin Bodhisattva!
Cui Shi said with a smile: "Please Your Majesty repair a letter, to the Golden Saint Palace Niangniang in the Qilin Mountain Cave, just say that I was invited by Zhu Ziguo to subdue the demon, and let her cooperate with me, so that the inside and the outside should be combined, and I will be able to surrender that Sai Tai Sui in one fell swoop." ”
Of course, this is a gesture, King Zhu Zi immediately ordered his subordinates to take the four treasures of the study, and after a little thought, he wrote a letter with thousands of words, and handed it to Cui Shi with great anticipation.
Cui Shi asked Monk Sha to stay in Zhu Ziguo to protect Tang Seng, he brought Zhu Bajie, stepped on the golden light and drove the auspicious clouds, and soon found the Qilin Mountain on the Qilin Mountain.
"Senior brother, you said that the monster with a bad brain is Sai Tai Sui?"
Zhu Bajie was holding a rake in his hand, but he didn't take these little demons who looked like a strict lineup in his eyes.
"Well, that's why I cured the king and asked him to write a letter to the Golden Saint Palace. As long as the Golden Saint Palace Niangniang helps me steal this demon's magic weapon, the next thing will be easy to do. ”
"Ahem, what magic weapon makes senior brother so nervous?"
Zhu Bajie borrowed a little wine, but he was a little unconvinced, and snorted: "In my opinion, a rake chiseled the door of this hedgehog hole, and our brothers joined forces, but we can't get that Sai Tai Sui?"
"Haha, why don't you try?"
Cui Shi was also moved in his heart, although he saw the boundless power of Zijin Ling in the book, he couldn't experience it in person after all. Since Zhu Bajie has this meaning, he might as well have a trick with this golden retriever first, so as to see if he is worth his own effort to subdue, at least he has to be like a nine-headed insect to play a little role.
"Let's go!"
Zhu Bajie saw that the senior brother was relieved, and without saying a word, he suddenly rushed out, and without waiting for those patrolling demons to react, he rushed to the mouth of the pig cave in a few ups and downs, and raised the nine-tooth nail rake high, just with a boom, he chiseled a huge gap in the solid and sturdy stone door.
