The national teacher opened a small stove for the queen in the palace, but Xuanzang had already returned to the post house.

As soon as Xuanzang entered the post house, he shouted loudly: "Bajie, quickly take out all my manuscripts!"

Bajie said: "What do you want to do so much?"

Xuanzang said: "I want to check the information, go quickly!"

Wukong said: "Master, you are so anxious, what information do you want to check?"

Xuanzang said: "Today I was stumped by a question from Her Majesty, and I want to find some information to refute her." I still don't believe it, how can I be a dignified Tang monk who can't argue with her like a little girl!"

So Bajie took out all the hand-copied Buddhist scriptures.

Xuanzang began to read it attentively, and he didn't even care about eating.

Two hours later, I heard his screams: "It's over! It's over!"

Wukong said, "Master, what's going on?"

Xuanzang said: "I told that little girl that monks can't get married, but I just found out that Guanyin Bodhisattva has married twice in order to enlighten the world. Once married to Wei Tuo, once married to Ma Lang!"

Wukong corrected: "The Bodhisattva is not a monk, he is a nun!"

Xuanzang said: "She is a monk!"

Wukong said: "She is a woman, how can she be a monk?"

Xuanzang said: "She has always called herself a poor monk, so she is naturally a monk! If she is a nun, she should call herself a poor nun." ”

Wukong said: "Oh, so that's the case! No wonder some women are obviously not the life of a female man, but they want to call themselves masters!"

Xuanzang complained: "Didn't you say that monks can't get married! My junior sister is too unreliable to do things, not only married, but also married twice!"

Bajie said: "Yes, yes! This is a typical example of only allowing Bodhisattvas to marry, not old pigs to marry!"

Wukong said: "Since there is a precedent for the Bodhisattva, why don't you make a promise to the queen with your body, Master?"

Xuanzang said: "I don't have that interest! I think that the Tang King wanted to marry Princess Changshan to me, but I didn't agree." You're going to give me a solution!"

Wukong said: "What do you mean by 'you are not interested'! Master, you are too selfish in this kind of thinking! Aren't we Buddhists claiming to do everything we can to save people? Now the queen of Xiliang is begging you to go to crossing, but you are pushing back!"

Xuanzang said: "There is still this kind of saying! Oh, I don't want to be recruited by that queen, but I have become a scum of Buddhism and a complete villain?

At this time, Bajie also came to join in the fun: "One, two, three, four, five, the female tiger in the palace." The tiger wants to recruit relatives, and the master should be careful. If you are not careful, there will be one less person on the westward journey. The monkey is the boss, and the pig is the adviser. Wujing became a spy, and Xiaolong was removed. Eat big households in the village, and go to the city to slander the emperor. The king did not let him go, and hit him until he said yes. If the Buddha is hateful, he will never go west from now on!"

Xuanzang jumped three feet high, pointed at the noses of the two and shouted: "The teachers are in a hurry like this, you are still messing around!"

Bajie's tone changed, and he sighed leisurely: "It turns out that Master is so worried. Alas, I, as a disciple, really hate to be a substitute!"

Wukong scolded with a smile: "Beauty doesn't kill you! I dare to fight even the idea of the master, I think you have itchy skin!"

Xuanzang said: "What master! Monkey, you are still finished! Hurry up and find a way for me, hurry up!"

Wukong said: "If you delay it, you will marry her after you come back from the scriptures." ”

Xuanzang said: "This kind of thing can't be promised indiscriminately!

Wukong said: "Then I can't think of a way." ”

Bajie said: "Master, don't worry. As the saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Let's wait and see. ”

Xuanzang said: "What's the use of just waiting for this?"

The Eight Precepts said: "Didn't you say that you could sit in meditation for two or three years in the past? ”

Xuanzang said: "This is much more distressing than zazen. ”

Bajie said: "Master, Master, you are cheap and still behaved." ”

Xuanzang said: "Why did I get cheap?"

The Eight Precepts said: "This is the benefit that the Buddha gave you, you can accept it when you see it!

Wukong said: "Yes, yes, if that's the case, the price of Nutrition Express should increase again." ”

Bajie said: "You ......"

Xuanzang immediately interrupted: "Why are you talking so far?

Bajie said: "Master is really, every time you are arguing with Xingtou, you come to interrupt." ”

Wukong said: "Okay, when the master enters the palace tomorrow, we will have a good quarrel." ”

Bajie said: "A word is a certainty." ”

Wukong said: "Sample!

The three of you are there and I don't stop talking, Wujing was depressed and miserable on the side, and he secretly said in his heart: "I basically don't have my share in fighting monsters, and I don't even have mine in quarrels, can't you design a few more lines for me?

The queen did not summon Xuanzang into the palace again, and the day passed in such a blur. However, there is no problem with food and accommodation, everything is taken care of. In fact, what the eight precepts said is not bad at all, this is the welfare of the Buddha!

The next day, the queen summoned Xuanzang into the palace again. Wukong and the others are also used to it, so they simply stay in the post station to hang out.

Xuanzang was weak in heart and didn't dare to mention the change of official documents, and Her Majesty the Queen seemed to have forgotten all about yesterday, and only pestered Xuanzang, asking him to talk about the customs and customs of various countries traveling westward and the experience of learning from experience.

Xuanzang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, isn't he just telling stories, he is a story king, and there are many stories.

So he told a lot of stories in a relaxed mood, and a few stories about fighting monsters were added. The queen was timid, but nothing that should have happened happened, and the guests and hosts spent a pleasant morning in a peaceful atmosphere.

At noon, the queen invited Xuanzang to lunch. After eating, the queen took Xuanzang to visit the Imperial Garden.

When parting, the queen sighed faintly: "This Xiliang women's country has always been closed, and it is difficult to meet a passerby. Although I am a queen and live a life of fine clothes and food, I am boring and boring. It would be nice to have someone who could tell me stories like you do on a regular basis. ”

Xuanzang didn't dare to talk.

The queen saw that Xuanzang's eyes were wrong, so she quickly pretended to be pitiful: "Holy monk, are you still willing to enter the palace tomorrow to tell me a story? In this palace, in fact, I have been living a miserable life, are you willing to meet my little request?"

Xuanzang said: "Tell a little story, that's no problem at all." I have more than 80 stories in my stomach, enough to tell for days. But the thing about the reversal of the official document ......"

The queen said, "If you tell me enough stories, I'll give you a visa, okay?"

Xuanzang summed up in his heart, although he spent a lot of time, but he also had a head, so he readily agreed.

Xuanzang returned to the post house, and Wukong asked, "Master went today, why did it take a long time to come back?"

Xuanzang said: "I'll tell the queen a story." ”

Wukong said, "I told the story for a whole day!

Xuanzang said: "Just tell the story! Actually, the queen is quite pitiful." She grew up in the palace since she was a child, and her life was so boring. It's a merit for me to do this, don't you think?"

Wukong said: "I didn't think you still had this leisure." ”

Xuanzang said: "You can't help again, so I have to figure it out by myself." ”

Wukong said, "How's that going?"

Xuanzang said: "The queen has already agreed! As long as I tell her enough stories of ninety-nine eighty-one stories, she will give me a visa." ”

Wukong said: "What kind of visa is the visa, it can't be a marriage certificate, right?"

Xuanzang was shocked: "Yes! Why didn't I ask clearly!"

Wukong said: "You shouldn't have been fooled by that little girl, right?"

Xuanzang said: "Forget it today, I must ask it tomorrow!"

So another day passed in a daze......

————————————

On the morning of the third day, after fasting, the queen summoned Xuanzang again. According to the usual practice, Xuanzang began to tell stories, accompanied the queen to dinner after telling the story, and played two games of Go together in the afternoon. When parting, Xuanzang asked about the visa again, and got a clear answer from the queen, so Xuanzang returned to the post station happily.

Back at the station, Wukong and the others were playing poker. Bajie saw Xuanzang smiling brightly, so he asked, "Master, you and your girlfriend are having a good time." ”

Xuanzang said with a straight face: "Bajie is not allowed to talk nonsense, the queen is just my female friend! I heard it clearly: 'female friend', four words, not a single word is missing! It is neither a girlfriend, nor a sexual friend, but a female friend!"

Wukong said: "Do you need to repeat it?"

Xuanzang said: "The important thing to say is said three times! This question must not be sloppy. ”

Wukong said, "Are you telling stories again?"

Xuanzang said: "I told eight stories in one breath today, and it is estimated that it will be finished in about eight days." ”

Wukong said: "What about the visa?"

Xuanzang said: "Ask clearly, leave after telling the story!"

Wukong said: "Sure enough, the master is still powerful." It seems that this level is about to be passed easily. ”

The master and apprentice were so happy for a few days, and they didn't worry about eating or living.

However, the queen does not summon Xuanzang every day, so ten days later, Xuanzang's eighty-one stories have not been finished.
