It was not a long or short journey, but it was fatal, because the three days and three nights were spent in the carriage - their internal organs and bones were almost shattered! Fortunately, Tao Xiaozhi was accompanied by Amu and the iron bucket, but did this journey benefit them at all? Tao Xiaozhi really didn't want them to be on the carriage too, but the three of them were on the king's "invite" list. Why did the king of the strange island "invite" them? Although they had a lot of speculation in their hearts, they never brought it up for discussion, because no one could give them answers. And they don't think much about whether they are going to be evil or lucky, which is not like their style, because thinking too much will only increase their troubles. Of course, they also thought about finding a reason to go to the toilet to escape, but it was not feasible at all, because they had iron chains on their hands and feet, and they were accompanied even when they went to the toilet! All they could do was talk and laugh all the way, and if they could, they also asked the officers and soldiers of the escort to ask for some good meat and wine (these officers and soldiers were quite polite, maybe they were just ordered by the superiors, maybe Tao Xiaozhi showed them his pig case gold coins, and they would generally be satisfied), so as to make the journey a little better.

Along the way, there are many strange things to see along the way, big and small, and the most is about "pigs": the culture of pigs has been inherited and carried forward here, the streets and alleys are hung with pig patterns, many clothes are worn with pig patterns, many things eaten are pork (various practices, ways to eat), many souvenirs are also about pigs, many festivals are related to pigs, and the names of many shops are also linked to the word "pig", such as lazy pig inn, stupid pig hotel, and so on. Pigs seem to have a higher status here than anywhere else, is this the hometown of Zhu Bajie? This is the biggest strange thing in their hearts, and it is also the biggest interesting story in their journey.

That's fine. After running so much, they finally arrived at the capital of the strange island, the Holy Pig City! When they came here, they knew that all the previous speculations about the "status of pigs" seemed to have been answered: the strange island was a "pig island", otherwise why would the capital of a country have such a name!

Then they were placed in a not-so-small building in a palace complex guarded by statues of the Divine Pig in front of the doors of these sumptuous palaces, and were unchained (only because of the tighter security around them), and were told that they would meet the king to-morrow.

But the next day, they just ate and lived well, and learned about the pig culture and the relationship with this strange island, if they were interested. The same was true on the third day, when the king's dishonesty made them a little more uneasy and worried. Until the fifth day, the king really wanted to meet them, and the meeting place was in the temple of the upper court, the temple of the sacred pig.

The Divine Pig Hall is really not an ordinary hall, this is simply a god-level general hall!! and look, there are two majestic statues outside the door of the main hall: on the left is the legendary amorous Zhu Bajie, and on the right is the zodiac divine pig that countless people admire! The hall is spacious and bright and splendid, needless to say, the huge stone pillars on both sides also have the relief of pigs, and there is a gorgeous carpet printed with pig patterns in the middle. There is a huge gold relief on the top of the main hall, and of course there is also a picture of a divine pig with sharp eyes and a bright smile! And in front of this bright smiling pig, there is a "pig chair (similar to the dragon chair, it is very large, and it is also carved with the pattern of a pig)" On the chair sat a huge fat man: the size was definitely about the same as that of an adult elephant, about five or six hundred pounds, his cheeks hung down from his shoulders, his chin and neck could not be distinguished, his chest hung down to his belly, and under his body like a bastard, his hands and feet seemed so short, like the limbs of a turtle! Without too much description, I believe you have a deep understanding of the degree of obesity of this person! In addition to obesity, he has some other characteristics: his ears are extremely large, almost like a pair of angel's small wings! And he also wears several big golden earrings in his left ear! Under his honest and bright smile, there is a pinch of cute goat's mustache on his chin; and he is wearing a gorgeous "pig robe," and the golden pig pattern is in the middle of his shirt, which looks particularly dazzling, noble, and majestic! Yes, he is the protagonist of today's story -- Zhu Sheng, the king of the strange island!

And what was a little discordant with him was that there were no half waiters by his side, only he was sitting alone in this hall! Perhaps, he just wanted to meet Tao Xiaozhi and the others alone.

When you see the king of the strange island, you have to salute whatever you say. Tao Xiaozhi and the others were just about to "bow three times and knock nine times", and the king spoke: "What are you doing here?" The words that squirted out of this fat ball were really "unique flavors", and it didn't sound good, it felt like a fart!

The iron bucket smiled: "Your Majesty, did you mean that you don't need to salute?"

"Nonsense!" Zhu Sheng said angrily, "Did I say that?!"

Then he turned backstage and shouted, "Etiquette officer, teach them how to follow the customs!"

Then a person wearing a gorgeous dress and a cute pig hat came out, and "hummed" like a pig screaming with both palms and made a strange salute to His Majesty, Tao Xiaozhi and others - pig ceremony!

The ceremonial official said: "We blame the island, it has been a country of etiquette since ancient times。。。。。。。。 ”

Zhu Shengdao: "Don't come with them to do this, let's just get to the point!"

The ceremonial officer said: "Okay, I'll teach you to do the biggest and most polite etiquette on our strange island-pig ceremony!"

He walked in front of Tao Xiaozhi and the others, and then said, "I'll demonstrate first, and you guys will follow—do you hear it?

Tao Xiaozhi and the others had to be like pigs, making a rough sound of "humming" from their throats to express their affirmation.

"First of all, the fists touch and lift, which is called the pig's trotter arch moon, which shows considerable respect for the other party。。。。。。。。 Then, kneel down, pay homage, and hit your head between two fists, and at the same time hit your fist, swing your big buttocks from side to side, indicating that you are enjoying Your Majesty's 'baptism' and respecting the former, and at the same time you should call out five 'hum', which is equivalent to the 'long live long live, long live, long live' of other countries, and finally the retreat, that is, the 'pig's trotters' hit each other five times, and then you can stand up, and the ceremony is completed, which is the pig ceremony. But when you stand, the most natural movement is 'pig's trotters clasped', which is to a large extent a sign of respect for people, whether it is His Majesty or other respectable officials and elders. After saying this and demonstrating, do you understand?"

Amu was very dissatisfied: "We are not pigs, and Your Majesty is not a pig, why should we perform the 'pig ceremony'?"

It seemed to make perfect sense, but he forgot that this was a strange island, and anything could happen!

"What a boldness, someone came and dragged them out and beheaded them!" shouted the ceremonial officer.

"Wait-" Zhu Sheng was about to speak, "Don't blame them, those who don't know are not guilty~~"

Then he looked at Amu, pointed to his sky-high nose, and smiled softly: "I am a pig, and I am the head of a pig!"

How can anyone understand how someone dares to call himself a "pig" and a king above ten thousand people!

Amu was puzzled: "Although you are fat, you don't have to feel inferior, we don't discriminate against people。。。。。。。。。 ”

"I'm not a human, I'm a pig!" Zhu Sheng was obviously also annoyed, "Please be respectful!"

Tao Xiaozhi pulled the placket of La Amu's shirt and signaled that he knew how to adapt.

Amu hurriedly performed the pig salute again, and Nuo Nuo said: "Hmph, you are a pig, the king of the pig king!"

"Hehe, look how smart they are, just a little bit!" Zhu Sheng smiled at the salute officer, "It's none of your business, you can retreat first." ”

"Hmph~~" The ceremonial officer retreated.

"I know who you are, and I've heard a lot about you, it's very interesting~~ Some people even say that you are legends~~hehe~" There was nothing funny in the first place, but Zhu Sheng seemed to laugh happily, "I heard that there have been a lot of embarrassing things in the Holy Spirit Source recently, is it true?"

Amu smiled: "That's all legends, we're not as good as we imagined!" Although this seems to be a more modest statement, the meaning of his expression seems to be true, and it is even more powerful than that.

Zhu Sheng touched the old goatee and said with a smile: "You are Tao Xiaozhi?"

Tao Xiaozhi was about to explain, but Amu patted his chest and said, "Yes, I am the handsome and dashing and graceful Tao Xiaozhi of Yushu!"

"Hehe~~ I really can't see it~~" Zhu Sheng smiled and then sighed again, "I think I was more handsome and chic than you, and Yushu is much more graceful in the wind, and the years are really a pig-killing knife!" and then began to fall into self-absorption of the past.

Amu smiled maliciously: "You don't lose the year now!"

"I love to hear this!" Zhu Sheng smiled, "And it's been a long time since anyone told me the truth like this!"

Amu continued to play: "Even if it's Zhu Bajie, I don't know how many innocent girls' hearts have been fascinated~~"

"Yes, it's so right!" Zhu Sheng patted the table and laughed, "Zhu Bajie is my idol!"

Then he pointed at Amu and yelled, "You are simply my confidant!"

Amu muttered, "I don't want to be a pig's confidant。。。。。。。。 ”

"What did you say?"

"I said it's really my honor to have someone as handsome as you as a confidant。。。。。。。。 ”

"You're really good at talking。。。。。。 ”

Laughing, giggling, and then laughing.

After laughing, Zhu Sheng seemed to suddenly remember something, and then his face became a little serious and gloomy.

"Where did the widow pig just now (what other kings said may be widows, he usually talks about widowed pigs, and he only says it when he is particularly serious, that is, he is engaged in formalities)?" Zhu Sheng scratched his head and thought about it, then patted his head and said, "By the way, I asked you if you were Tao Xiaozhi, right?"

Amu said casually: "I answered." ”

Zhu Shengdao: "I heard that you got the Qilin Fire and the Fire Qilin, but you didn't become a Qilin Knight, is that the case?"

Amu said: "I heard that this is the case. ”

"And then I lost it, didn't I?"

"What?"

"Qilin fire and fire unicorn—"

"Strictly speaking, those two things should not belong to him in the first place, and I tell you even more unfortunate news: there are no more fire qilins in the world。。。。。。。 Tao Xiaozhi saw that Amu didn't know how to answer, so he took over the conversation.

"What a boldness, the widow pig is talking to the Qilin Knight, when will it be your turn to interject?!" Zhu Sheng shouted angrily, "Come on, drag this person out and behead !!"

"Wait-" Amu hurriedly stood up and explained, "Actually, he is Tao Xiaozhi, I am pretending to be a joke with you。。。。。。 ”

Zhu Sheng was even more furious, and smashed the case with one shot: "Play me? This is a bully! Come on, pull these two people out—no, all three of them are beheaded!"

The pig elite soldiers immediately surrounded Tao Xiaozhi and others, swords and guns were facing each other, hemp ropes were whizzing, iron chains were ringing, and they were about to tie them up.

"Wait-" Tao Xiaozhi took out a piece of golden light from his arms and threw it to Zhu Sheng, "Please Your Majesty take a look at this first-"
