Chapter 146: Seeing the Same Sect
When the waiter heard this, his knees weakened, he fell to his knees, and he couldn't help sighing and said: "Although the lord said yes, but Your Majesty doesn't know what to think, there is still a division to collect five cents from the participants according to the old practice as a fee to pay tribute to the demeanor of the elders, to enrich the treasury, and now the elders have not arrived for a long time, and the people on both sides of the road are anxious, so they are impatient, and the conflict is shouting. β
Hearing this, the master and apprentice of Sanzang were so frightened that they were dripping into a cold sweat, and they were halfway awake, Tang Sanzang jumped up from the bed at once, and exclaimed repeatedly: "That's it, His Majesty the King is also afraid of poverty, and it is really admirable to be able to come up with such a way to collect money, but his fee standard is too low, is it only necessary to spend five cents to see the appearance of my Sanzang master and apprentice, which is also too cheap, right?" Okay, everyone, don't sleep, let's get up quickly, His Majesty the King has sold us, in order to prevent him from losing his trust to the people, we can only reluctantly get up and go to the venue early. β
Sanzang master and apprentice packed their luggage last night, thinking that when they went to the meeting today, whenever things were not in harmony, they would be swept up by Wukong casting a spell to roll up a gust of wind, blowing everyone's eyes, and also taking advantage of the chaos to escape from Zhu Ziguo, walk on the road, and go straight to the West Heaven Avenue, the world of freedom, so everyone secretly brought a few salutes on their bodies when they were dressing, just to hide it from the waiter.
By the time the master and apprentice had stopped dressing up and arrived at the noon gate, His Majesty was already sitting under the yellow banner on the side of the road, and was as anxious as ants on a hot pot. After seeing the appearance of the holy monk and apprentice, His Majesty the King suddenly looked like a prisoner about to be executed in an amnesty, his eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed, and at that moment, regardless of the guards' obstacles, he hurriedly rushed forward, took Sanzang's hand and shook it vigorously: "Holy monk, you can be regarded as coming, and look at the good people of my Zhu Ziguo, in order to see the demeanor of the elders, I have already waited extremely anxiously, and please enter quickly and accept the offerings of everyone." β
The master and apprentice looked up in the direction of His Majesty's finger, and couldn't help but be frightened to the point that their scalps exploded, and their backs were cold, and there were dense crowds of people standing on both sides of the road, one by one, wearing costumes and holding fruits in their hands, where you pushed me and squeezed one by one, stretched out your neck and looked up at the steps, although a fence was erected on the side of the road, and there were soldiers with weapons in their hands guarding them, in the face of the crowd surging like a tide, they were also more than capable of strength, where the prohibition could be contained, and from time to time there would be crowds crowding over the fence, pushing away the soldiers, and rushing into the venue with open tables. Fortunately, although the guards were understaffed, they still maintained the bottom line, and when they saw someone breaking through the ban and rushing into the venue, they would throw out hooks and ropes to lock them, and despite their struggles and begging, they dragged them back to the crowd, re-erected the fence, and guarded them, and there was no chaos in the end.
There were many fanatical and open women in the crowd, their faces were red, they wore beaded hairpins, held feather fans, waved banners, and shouted loudly to the elegant and vulgar general behind Sanzang to show their love.
After a long time, the woman in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Ah, it turns out that the bald holy monk who was born in the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Soil also looks fine and tender, with good facial features, although his appearance is not as good as that of the elegant general, he is also a beautiful man when he looks closely." β
As soon as the words fell, there was that good thing and talent, and a limerick poem was made up on the spot, and it was spread in twos and threes, and it was sung into one piece: "Holy monk and holy monk, I love you, and I am willing to go with you to the west, mend your clothes and wash your feet, see if you like it or not?" Suddenly, many women found that Ao Bai on the side was also a good-looking man, so they spared no effort and competed to tease.
For these two things, there are die-hard fans who support the elegant and vulgar generals, holding the banner in their hands, gritting their teeth at these two groups of women, and glaring angrily: "I love you and I am willing to marry you as a slave, and I will swim in the sky with you, and I will be at ease and happy." β
The women of the two classes were not to be outdone, immediately raised their necks, folded their chests and stomachs, and repeated the previous singing, which immediately angered a group of fans of the elegant general, seeing that Wen Dou did not succeed in changing the martial arts, and reciprocated with old fists, punches and kicks, for a time all the women you pulled my pearl hairpin, I tore your clothes, one after another, the situation was menacing, and the fight became a ball, even the soldiers could not restrain it, the quality of the people was so poor, and even in front of the distinguished guests to fight, His Majesty the King was embarrassed and angry at the same time, but also felt powerless and helplessγ
The Sanzang master and apprentice also felt extremely embarrassed when they saw it, so they had to pretend to be blind, turn a blind eye to this, and enter the venue under the guidance of His Majesty the King and several officials of the Ministry of Rites. The first person at the table was Chen Juan'er and her mother Aunt Chen, followed by a young and honest young man, Sun Wukong unconsciously felt very cordial, and took the lead in greeting: "Chen Juan'er, I haven't seen you for many days, are you doing well?"
Seeing Elder Sun take the initiative to greet her, Chen Juan'er was so excited that she burst into tears, and nodded again and again: "Okay, good, it's really thanks to a few elders who wiped out the demon and saved me and waited for the show girl to return to her homeland, so that we can live such a good life, I really don't hide that Elder Sun said that Ah Niang had promised me to the Xiao Liu family, the first to make steamed buns in the east of the village, Xiao Liu treated me well, at this time, the husband and wife were harmonious, respectful of each other, Chen Juan'er was really grateful to the elders for their great kindness in her sleep." I also asked a few elders to stop for a while, and the countrymen were not respectful, so they invited me to taste the osmanthus steamed buns made by my husband himself, which is a must on my street. After speaking, he really took out a large pot of big steamed buns with osmanthus patterns on the dough, and raised them respectfully above his head for everyone to taste.
But without waiting for everyone to eat half of the steamed buns, the show girl in the back seat squeezed forward, and forcibly pulled the Sanzang master and apprentice to taste the pine nut cake on his side, so that thirty or forty banquets in a row, although each family only dedicated a fruit dish, the Sanzang master and apprentice were forced to the next table every time they ate a few bites, and after a while, they also ate seven or eight percent full, only the eight precepts of eating intestines are big, and the people who come from the vultures do not refuse, and they swallow there without stopping.
At this time, all the female fans were also sweating profusely, wheezing, so they had to wipe their foreheads, shake banners, and temporarily quell the war, but between the crowds, a five or six-year-old girl was squeezed over the fence, and she fell to the ground with a pop.
Tianshu heard the sound and looked at it, and saw that this little woman had delicate skin, simple decoration, and two pigtails, which was really cute, and this pear blossom cried like rain, which was extremely aggrieved, and it was also really pitiful. Tianshu was overjoyed when he saw this, so he strode forward, picked up the little girl from the ground, patted the dust on her clothes, and made a grimace to amuse her.
The little girl saw that she had a kind face, and her grimace was very funny, and she couldn't help but burst into laughter, revealing a row of little white teeth with two missing holes, and the little girl in order to express her inner gratitude, very generously handed the big baked cake that she had gnawed a few mouthfuls in her hand in front of Tianshu.
Such an intimate and kind gesture is something that Wen Tianshu has never experienced in the past thousands of years in the Three Realms, and suddenly felt warm on her body, and it has been sweet to her heart, her heart is warm and rippling, and she gets carried away, so she doesn't care that the big baked cake in the little girl's hand has fallen to the ground and covered the dust, and she doesn't eat it, and stretches out her jade hand to take it in her hand.
Tang Sanzang saw Tianshu's move, and his heart was greatly confused, but at this moment, he was far away from Tianshu, and it was too late to stop it, and the sentence "don't take it" in his mouth had not yet been finished, Tianshu had already gently taken the big baked cake in his hand.
This move was like igniting the fuse of explosives, and it instantly detonated the audience, and the people of Zhu Ziguo, who were stopped outside the railing by the soldiers, immediately widened their eyes and said indignantly: "No, why is this girl able to offer things to the holy monks and elders, but we also paid money to watch the ceremony, why can't we, but aren't we bullying people?"
The fans who had already calmed down the battle here also widened their eyes unconsciously, and screamed in unison: "Why, can this monk pile also be mixed with women traveling west to learn scriptures, if this is the case, we are also willing to lose our hair and become nuns, and march to the west with the elegant and vulgar generals and holy monks." β
They were talking in twos and threes, and the crowd was full of emotion, and they were so excited that they no longer cared about it, and they all threw their hands over the fence and rushed forward, but the poor soldiers were already few people, and now where could they be restrained, and they were overthrown to the ground by their palms and fists, and they had to take care of their lives, and even crawled to the ground, where did they still have the heart to stop the commotion of the crowd.
Seeing that the situation was urgent, Tang Sanzang was horrified in his heart, and hurriedly shouted to the monkey behind him: "Wukong, the wind is tight, hurry up and make the wind, while the crowd has not yet gathered around, Bajie carries the heavenly pivot on his back, Wujing picks up the luggage, Ao Bai, you turn into a white horse and carry it as a teacher, let's quickly take advantage of the chaos to escape, go damn it, don't leave at this time, when will you stay?"
Sun Wukong heard the words, hurriedly inhaled into the Xundi, and then sprayed hard, and a gust of wind blew in the flat ground, and for a time the sand and rocks were flying, covering the charming eyes, and the people were afraid of the strong power of the wind, so they had to stop the collision and reluctantly cover their heads and eyes with their sleeves, so as not to be scratched by the strong wind.
The wind blew for half an hour, and when the wind stopped and the sand stopped, and there were no clouds, the people dared to open their eyes and look all over the place, but there was still the slightest trace of the master and apprentice of Sanzang, but the little girl who fell to the ground in the arms of His Majesty the King, who was surrounded by the guards, was pulling her throat at the moment, crying non-stop.
