Chapter 131: Defeated
A long time has passed, and the hall of heart cultivation is solemn, only the heavy sobs of His Majesty the King are heard intermittently, and the atmosphere is even more and more sad.
Under the persuasion of the chamberlain, His Majesty the King reluctantly suppressed his sorrow and tears, got up sadly, looked at the elegant vulgar with an obsessive face and a blank expression at the moment, coughed a few times to break the silence, and said respectfully to the elegant vulgar: "Look at your dress and appearance, it must be the elegant and vulgar general in the legend of the countrymen, right? The widow has admired the general for a long time, but according to the old practice, in the few days when the general came to welcome the show girl into the cave, he has been hiding in the demon shelter and cannot appear, so he has to be famous, and he has never met the general. ”
"Thanks to the general's benevolence and mercy, and his kindness, General Demeng, a lot of show girls in my country's middle body filled with demon caves, mediated in front of the demon king Sai Tai Sui, and was able to immortalize a large number of people, such a great favor, I Zhu Ziguo monarchs and people can not repay it, and I also ask the general for permission, and I will be worshiped by the widow. ”
After His Majesty finished speaking, he bowed to Ya Shi from his head, bluffing Ya Shi's face and heart, and he was sincerely afraid, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to pick him up from the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty really doesn't have to be like this, although this matter comes from my heart, it was also to inherit the last wish of the Golden Saint Palace, so I really don't dare to take credit." ”
His Majesty stood up, clasped his elegant hand tightly and said: "Even so, the general is also in his own heart of kindness and love for the people, and will maintain the hard-working show girl trapped in the cave for hundreds of years. ”
"Now that the demon king's power has been wiped out, although the general is out of the sea of suffering, he has no body to rely on, so it is better to settle in my Zhu Zi country and accept the worship and dedication of my Zhu Zi people, wouldn't it be good?"
Yashu was terrified when he heard this, and was about to wave his hand to excuse himself, Wen Tianshu smiled slightly, took a few steps forward, looked at His Majesty the King and said with a thousand blessings: "Your Majesty, please forgive the little woman for saying bluntly, Yashu is not a person from your Zhu Ziguo, but was brought here from a great distance by an eagle from thousands of miles away. ”
His Majesty the King was disappointed when he heard this, nodded and groaned, and said with relief: "Ah, although my Zhu Ziguo is a big country in the West, after all, it is a mundane land, and the general has to be so protected, for the sake of the future future, the widow does not dare to be selfish. ”
"Since the general is on the same path with the elders, it is no matter how good it is, the widow can combine the two feelings and thank you for your kindness. Come on, take a plate of gold beads from the inner treasury, and give it to the elders and elegant generals, you don't think the vulgar things are meager, because my Zhu Ziguo has been exploited and oppressed by the power of the Tai Sui Demon King for nearly two hundred years, the people's livelihood is difficult, and the treasury is empty, this plate of gold beads is the limit that the widow can bear, and the family and country are unfortunate and even so, so that the widow every time he thinks about it, he can't help but feel tight in his chest and short of breath, and he breaks his liver and intestines. When His Majesty said this, he really wet his clothes with tears, and shed a few tears, which for a while affected the old disease, and he coughed incessantly.
Seeing him crying bitterly, Bajie smiled, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty don't worry, there is a big property waiting for you Zhu Ziguo to develop." Although the demon king Sai Tai Sui was rampant on the Qilin Mountain, and did his best to extort and exploit your country, he was a miser, and he received a large amount of treasure contributions from your country. ”
"Now that the demon king's power has been extinguished, his remaining treasures are just like the ones that are guarded and guarded by His Majesty in vain, the scale is huge, and the volume of vehicles is heavy, if Your Majesty sends soldiers to transport these treasures back to the country, as long as you are not poor and extravagant, and build a palace, it will be enough to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and protect the territory and the people. ”
"As for the elegance and vulgarity, since you have decided to join my Sanzang Legion, all the food and drink expenses on the road will naturally be provided by my Sanzang Legion, so I won't bother Your Majesty. Although my monks have a breeze on their sleeves, hungry and thirsty for food and drink, this small plate of gold beads is not yet in our eyes, so please take it back and use it for the people who need it most. ”
Hearing him say these sonorous and powerful words, His Majesty the King was shocked and convinced, and said with shame on his face: "Yes, yes, you elders are masters outside the world, with a lofty vision, and the widow uses these blockages to try to humiliate your Dharma eyes, which is indeed too blasphemous for Meng Lang." Please also rest assured, the widow has been tormented by chronic diseases physically and mentally since he ascended the throne, and he will naturally have compassion for the people's livelihood and suffering, and even if he can obtain a large amount of treasure, he will definitely be frugal, and if he uses these treasures for civil production, how can he spend a penny of money on building pleasures, and if there is a god in his head, he is not afraid of angering the gods and suffering from thunder and lightning?"
"But since there are so many treasures to enrich the treasury, the widow can't say that he wants to enrich the country and strengthen the army, rectify the armaments, and recover the borders and territories that have been divided. ”
When he said this, His Majesty the King, who was still sickly, couldn't help but look radiant, and his eyes were blazing, which made Sun Wukong, who was standing on the side, shudder out of thin air, and couldn't help but say: " If Your Majesty has such a mind, my grandson will really regret revealing the news of this golden treasure to you, so that the people will be displaced again, the fields will be barren, the starvation will be everywhere, the blood will be flowing, and I don't know how many innocent beings will die, is this what your Majesty, the merciful King, wants to see?"
As soon as the words came out, His Majesty the King was shocked, knowing that he was out of shape, straightened his face, and bowed without a word: "Yes, yes, Elder Sun has learned a lesson, it is indeed a widow's speech, and now the friction between the various departments on the border is intensifying, and it has reached an irreconcilable situation where you don't destroy me, I will destroy you, for the sake of the bright future of the descendants of all parties, although the widow is unwilling, he can only reluctantly use Huairou, The method of bribery allows the surrounding tribes to return to the embrace of the mother country, and if the heavens do not obey people's wishes, they will use violent means to make the tribes submit, but they will not be able to complain about the widows. ”
"That's it, elders, it's really the fault of the widow to bother you for some territorial disputes in my Zhu Zi Kingdom. Elder Sun and the others for the peace of my Zhu Zi Country on the border, slay the demons and exorcise the demons, the wind and dust, it is really hard, the widow will let the servants line up the banquet, buy wine and food, one is to wash the dust for you, and the other is also to talk about the indescribable gratitude in the widow, so please come to the table and eat and drink to your heart's content. ”
The crowd also felt the weight of the topic, and when they saw that His Majesty had taken the initiative to diverge, they could not help but feel relieved, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, so they arranged their order, sat down one after another, reopened the feast, and ate and drank to their heart's content. Everyone in the seat was talking and laughing, talking eloquently from all over the world, only Tang Sanzang was sullen, eating and drinking silently, looking unhappy.
The monkey couldn't help but be a little curious, and wondered, "Master, you are very different from usual today, how can you be alone and unhappy on such a cheerful day, which is very different from the atmosphere at this time." ”
Seeing the monkey asking, Sanzang sighed depressedly, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Alas, you still have a little conscience, and you know how to ask the teacher about his mood at the moment, unlike other junior brothers and sisters, who only care about eating and drinking by themselves, how can they care about the life and death of the teacher." ”
Hearing the master say these words sourly, Bajie didn't forget to roll his eyes while munching on it, and said disdainfully: "Master is really funny, we are fighting monsters desperately outside, and we come back hungry to ask His Majesty the King for some food and drink to comfort our intestines, but you hide in the palace with food and drink to enjoy the offerings, and you don't even do the same menial work, which evil nature is violated, and in turn complains that we only care about eating and drinking, and don't care about your life or death, it's too unreasonable, right?"
Seeing that he was complained about when he didn't succeed in mocking, and his words were so reasonable, Sanzang couldn't help but be ashamed, and said weakly: "That's it, I know that you have worked hard to subdue demons, and you just complained a little as a teacher, and I didn't want you to do anything, so I don't have the dignity of the teacher, it's really pitiful." I'm just angry with the Bodhisattva and Zhang Tianshi, they don't take me, the leader of the Sanzang Legion, too seriously, as long as they recommend and approve it, regardless of whether I agree or not, it is really impolite to introduce a person I have never met and have not passed the assessment into the Sanzang Legion, right?"
As soon as the words came out, even Wen Tianshu's eyes widened, and he said with disdain: "Master is too hypocritical, isn't it just like you recommend individuals, as for the big reaction? I think when I applied to join the Sanzang Legion, you didn't go through much review, so you agreed, how come it is so complicated when you get to Yashi, and the reputation of General Yasha is much better than when I was at the beginning, how can you not agree?"
Seeing Tianshu so aggressive, Sanzang's attitude suddenly softened, and he said depressedly: "It's not a matter of word of mouth, I have lived in this royal city for two or three days, and I have heard the virtuous name of the elegant general for a long time, but as the saying goes, it is better to be famous than to meet, just such a famous person, but I have never met, and I don't know what he looks like, they don't discuss with me, they want him to join our Sanzang legion, let him be my apprentice, so sudden, how can this mage accept it in a short time?" No matter how bad it is, it has to go through a democratic vote of our internal personnel to decide whether he will stay or not, and it is really unreasonable for them to point fingers in the air. Before the archmage finished speaking, Bajie, Wukong, Tianshu and Muzha walked beside Ya Vulgar, raising their hands high to show their support for Ya Vulgar.
