Sanzang nodded, took out the post, and read: "Twenty-two difficulties in the treasure elephant country, twenty-three difficulties in turning into a tiger in the Jinluan Palace, twenty-four difficulties in meeting demons in Pingdingshan, twenty-five difficulties in hanging in the lotus cave, twenty-six difficulties in the savior of the Wuji country, and twenty-seven difficulties in being incarnated by demons." The difficulty in the Lotus Cave must have passed, he is the king of the Black Chicken Country, and this time it is naturally the twenty-sixth difficulty. ”

"Hmm...... The Savior of the Black Rooster Country! The daughter king repeated in a low voice, pointing forward: "It seems that this is the salvation of this goods!" ”

When the lonely soul heard the two of them talk about himself, he hurriedly said:

"Holy monk, the lonely king is here to sincerely pray, you must go to our country, take the demons, distinguish the evil and the right, and be alone in the grass ring, and reward the teacher!"

Sanzang said: "If you want to say that it is appropriate to invite the two of me to subdue demons and catch monsters." But I'm afraid your people don't want to! ”

The lonely soul said, "How is it possible? ”

Sanzang said: "That Taoist priest has great powers, and has become the same as you, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and every word is smooth; The concubines of the three palaces did not go out of the palace to ask for help, even if they were not willing to agree, they must respect each other and live in harmony. If the people of the Black Rooster Country have enough food and clothing, they are not willing to exchange you back!

Even if we have the means, we will never dare to go against the will of the people and act lightly. ”

The lonely soul said, "I am the real king!" ”

The daughter king said sharply:

"But you didn't bring wealth to the country, but the treasury was empty and starving, as long as the civil and military and the people of the Manchu Dynasty thought of the life five years ago, it would make you climb the dragon chair again!"

"Even if that Taoist priest is not a human race, but a monster in the mountains, as long as he is dedicated to the people, Ze is born by the common people, where is there any reason to capture him!"

The lonely soul wept again: "This fairy, Lone doesn't want to starve all over the wilderness!" ”

Seeing that he was pitiful, Sanzang comforted: "Why don't we go outside tomorrow to have a look, understand the voices of the people, and listen to the thoughts of the civil and military." If the opportunity suits, let's go meet your prince for a while, tell him the truth, and listen to his opinion! ”

"Good! Good! Good! ”

The lonely soul said hello three times in a row, and said loudly: "He is my own prince, and he can best represent the will of the court!" ”

The daughter king sneered: "Your own prince does not represent the Chinese martial arts, but only determines your life and death future!" After he learns the truth, if he cares about the people, he will not provoke the false king, and if he is bent on power, he may beg us to catch the false king and ascend the throne himself! As for you, it doesn't matter! ”

The lonely soul shouted, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! ”

Sanzang said: "That prince must have been deceived by demons, in the past few years, eighty percent of the true Taoist priest has called his father, if he knows that you can be resurrected, he may be able to help you resurrect." ”

Sanzang didn't think it was a good idea to let this selfish person return to the throne, so he only said to help him resurrect, but didn't say to help him ascend the throne.

The lonely soul sighed, and said:

The lonely soul said: "No, my son has been studying politics in the Jinluan Palace in the past few years, dealing with stacks of sparse songs, not resting, and letting him lecture with the bachelor in the Wufeng Building, reading boxes and boxes, tired eyes with tears.

He lost all the cockfights, eagles, and dogs he had been playing with in his childhood. Don't let him get close to women, don't let him drink and have fun, accidentally go to the field to farm, join the army for drills, and torture every day!

The prince was not even allowed to enter the palace to meet his mother, and my son was very uncomfortable, almost in the dire straits of life.

If the prince knew that he was alone, he would definitely save me! ”

The daughter king wanted to laugh when he heard this, and Sanzang frowned and sighed.

"This is obviously a vigorous cultivation, how is it in dire straits!"

Sanzang said: "Do you know, why didn't the Taoist priest let their mother and son meet?" ”

The lonely soul said: "This is a strategy made by the monster, I am afraid that his mother and son will see each other, and they will talk about their strengths and weaknesses in their idleness, revealing their identities." that he may abide forever. ”

"Okay! Go back. It's dawn tomorrow, let's go investigate! ”

The lonely soul was grateful for the words and drifted away.

Outside, there was a night wanderer waiting outside the courtyard, and when the king saw it, he asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

The Night Wandering God knew that this fairy was actually the famous Sun Monkey, so he trembled with fright, and replied: "Great Sage, the little god took the order of Meiyin Garan to send the soul of the King of Wuji to see you, and by sending him to the palace, let him tell the queen the truth, thinking that the holy monk should be in charge!" ”

"And this kind of operation?" The daughter king disdained, "There are a lot of cats in this!" ”

The night wandering god did not dare to respond, but stood resignedly.

"Let's go! What are you doing here. ”

The daughter of the king waved his hand.

The night wandering god is like an amnesty, carrying the soul of the black chicken king and flying towards the palace.

When they had gone away, the king of his daughter turned back and said:

"There's something wrong with that! As soon as this king ascended the throne, the following year there was a great drought! ”

Sanzang asked himself: "Could it be that the true Taoist priest did it?" Create conditions for your own superiority. ”

"Not like! If he wants to ascend to the throne, he can use his magic power to secretly kill the king, and there is no need to eat and live with him for two years! ”

Sanzang said: "Eating and living together is to find out the various habits of this king, so as not to show the horse's feet!" ”

The daughter king shook her head: "There is no need." Even if he becomes a king and his temperament changes greatly, as long as the grain is abundant, the money is paid in full, and the money is always rewarded with silver, the people and the civil and military will only feel that the king has become energetic! It's too late to be grateful, how could you think that this is a fake king! ”

Sanzang nodded when he heard this, paced back and forth, and after a while, said: "Could it be that this king is a faint king, the Taoist priest saved the Li people, and found that this monarch had no way, and he ate and lived together for two years just to change him, and after the change failed, he was worried that the people of Li would suffer, so he simply impersonated?" ”

"So, it's the past!"

The daughter king affirmed: "He doesn't get close to the harem for fornication, he doesn't abolish the prince, and he cultivates it with his heart, it seems that he really wants to raise the prince to get Mingjun, and then hand over the country to the rhythm of the new king!" ”

Sanzang couldn't help but nod: "I think so too!" Well, let's not guess here, let's go out tomorrow and have a look. ”

……

Early in the morning of the second day.

The abbot of Baoling Temple sent someone to deliver food early in the morning.

Sanzang thanked him and asked the little monk who sent him to the fast: "When you are in a relationship on weekdays, can you hear how the people evaluate the king of Wuji Country?" ”

The little monk replied: "Our king of Wuji is a person who loves the people, in recent years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and the people have been rich, all thanks to his personal government!" Also, I've met the king a few times, and he's very approachable! ”

"Seen?"

"Yes. The king had a Buddha heart, often came to Baolin Temple to offer incense, and often talked to us about Buddhism, not only respecting the abbot, but also being very kind to us! The year before last, a new temple of Manjushri was built! ”

Hearing this, Sanzang glanced at his daughter king, and asked, "He, did you see a Buddhist temple?" Didn't build a Taoist temple? ”

The little monk clasped his hands together: "No." The king was devoted to the Buddha and never spoke of the Tao, so how could he build a Taoist temple. If the holy monk goes to the palace to see him, he will definitely be courteous and hospitable! ”

The daughter king frowned, and said in his heart: "A Taoist priest, building a Buddhist temple? This is a strange talk in the world. ”

Sanzang also had the same idea, and asked how to get to the palace.

The little monk said: "Forty miles west of the temple is the palace." Can't go today, though? ”

"Why?"

"Because today is the day when the prince goes out hunting, the road to the west has been sealed."
