"Announce, the Holy Monk of the Great Tang Dynasty is here to see you!"
Cheng Long and his party were soon led by the ceremonial officer into a majestic hall.
Inside the hall, civil and military officials were lined up on both sides, young and old, all of them had good looks, not a single ugly one, which showed that the love of beauty is human nature.
If one is extremely ugly, even if he wins the first prize with his literary talent, it will still be difficult for him to enter the palace as an official.
Zhong Kui, the judge of the underworld's punishment department, died by crashing into a dragon pillar in anger because he was discriminated against by the emperor.
Nowadays, when the civil and military officials of Xiliang go to court, all they see are beauties. It has been a long time since Bajie has seen such a scene, and it is a feast for his eyes.
However, when Cheng Long and his group were looking at the civil and military officials, the eyes of the civil and military officials were also looking over here.
These women are the ruling class of the Kingdom of Women and are the most well-informed. After Cheng Long and his party entered the territory of the Kingdom of Women in Xiliang, they had almost already received the news.
As Tang Monk traveled westward, his fame had already spread.
Most of them have heard of the names of Tang Monk and the Monkey King Sun Wukong. Now seeing them in person, many of them have a hint of love in their eyes, and it is obvious that they are attracted to Sun Wukong and Tang Monk.
There were even some female military officers who were attracted to Monk Sha!
As for Bajie?
No matter how hungry the women in the palace were, it was impossible for them to have any thoughts about Bajie, who had a pig nose, pig ears, and a big belly.
Feeling the gazes of the women, Tang Seng walked to the throne nervously without looking around, then put his hands together and said to the Queen of Xiliang who was sitting on the dragon chair: "I, Tang Xuanzang, came from the Tang Dynasty in the East, and I am ordered by His Majesty the King of Tang to go to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures. I hope the king can make it convenient for me to stamp this pass with the seal, so that my master and I can go..."
Just as Tang Seng lowered his head slightly to speak, the Queen of Xiliang on the throne had a bright light shining in her eyes, and a hint of joy appeared on her exquisite face. Her phoenix eyes were staring straight at Cheng Long who was beside Tang Seng.
Judging from her expression, the Queen of Xiliang is most likely moved.
Only Cheng Long knew that the queen was playing a trick on him. A glance when they entered the palace just now made him realize that the Queen of Xiliang on the throne had become a thing of the past just like Sun Wukong, and had become a human incarnation of Empress Pingxin.
At this time, the queen's true spirit can either stay in the underworld to practice, or be married to a powerful family. In short, the compassionate Empress Pingxin will never treat the Queen of Xiliang unfairly.
Cheng Long can be completely sure of this.
Since the queen has become a genuine incarnation of a saint, it is naturally impossible for her to go back to her old ways and fall in love with Tang Monk at first sight.
Of course, the probability of seeing Cheng Long's clone, Sun Wukong, is almost zero.
He didn't think he had the charm to attract Empress Pingxin.
But being stared at all the time was not a big deal, so Cheng Long coughed lightly and said, "My Queen..."
The Queen of Xiliang was slightly stunned, then came back to her senses and said, "The holy monk of the Tang Dynasty came from afar and passed through my Xiliang Women's Kingdom. This is why I am fortunate enough to meet the holy monk and this young man today. It is truly a fate destined by heaven! What is this young man's name?"
"My surname is Sun and my name is Wukong." Cheng Long introduced himself.
"Mr. Sun, we hit it off right away. Could we have a private chat?" The Queen of Xiliang stared straight at Sun Wukong, deliberately putting on an infatuated look.
But her obsession with love is completely different from that of ordinary women.
Although the queen was staring at the man unabashedly, her brows revealed a domineering look, as if to say that since I have been favored by the king, you should stay and don't make me angry.
"It's impossible."
Cheng Long wanted to see what Empress Pingxin was planning.
The Queen of Xiliang smiled and motioned a servant beside her to come forward and take the pass from Tang Xuanzang's hand. After getting it, the Queen of Xiliang flipped through it casually, saw the seals stamped on it, and nodded slightly.
"The holy monk and his disciples have worked hard. Let's rest in this palace before continuing on our journey!"
"That's a bother!"
Tang Seng clasped his hands together and did not reject the queen's kindness.
Of course, the main reason was that Sun Wukong agreed to meet with the Queen of Xiliang in private, and it was difficult for Tang Seng and his disciples to refuse.
Afterwards, a ceremonial officer led the group to a palace. On the way, Bajie's eyes rolled around, scanning the heroic female guards around him.
Zhu Bajie said to the ceremonial officer in front, "Sister, I am very curious, why is your ruler still wearing a veil? Is it because your ruler is ugly and cannot be seen in public?"
After hearing what Zhu Bajie said, the ceremonial officer glared at him and said, "Master, please stop talking nonsense. My queen is so beautiful that even a fairy from heaven cannot compare to my ruler."
"Then why don't you show your true face?"
"Master, don't you think you are asking too many questions?"
"..."
After a while of embarrassment.
The master and his disciples came to a palace and began to enjoy the vegetarian meal of the Kingdom of Women. The rich vegetarian dishes were exquisite and delicious. Zhu Bajie patted his belly and cheered repeatedly after eating.
While eating, Zhu Bajie said to Tang Seng: "Master, I feel that there is something wrong with the way the queen looks at Brother Sun. It seems that she has taken a fancy to Brother Sun."
Tang Seng frowned slightly when he heard this. He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He chanted a Buddhist name and said to Zhu Bajie: "Bajie, stop talking nonsense. You are tarnishing the reputation of the king for no reason."
"Master, my feeling is never wrong. The queen must have fallen in love with Brother Sun!"
Zhu Bajie actually wanted to be favored. If he could stay in Xiliang and become the queen's husband, then all the women in the Kingdom of Women would become his harem. He could eat whoever he liked. The thought of it made him happy.
To be honest, he had never felt so jealous as he did now.
When Bajie thought of Brother Sun right now in the Queen's bedroom, talking about love with the beautiful Queen, he felt so envious that his body was torn apart.
……
The Queen's bedroom.
The Queen of Xiliang waved her hand to dismiss her personal guards, poured Cheng Long a cup of tea herself, and said with a smile: "I think you have seen my identity. You must drink this cup of tea. It is all my respect."
"It won't be poisonous, right?"
Cheng Long picked up the teacup, looked down and found that the tea in the cup was green, a green that made people feel uneasy, but it contained extremely abundant life energy.
Drink it all in one gulp.
It was as if a spring was suddenly surging in the abdomen, and the majestic breath of life instantly turned into countless rushing rivers, flowing along the meridians and to every corner of the body.
Not only is there the breath of life here, but also the six realms of reincarnation are hidden.
Reincarnation is both death and rebirth. Life alternates and the cycle continues.
Cheng Long even realized a new meaning of destiny through reincarnation. "Reflect on it here!"
The Queen of Xiliang pointed her finger and six phantoms of reincarnation appeared and penetrated Cheng Long's forehead.
Unlike Cheng Long, Empress Pingxin sent people to bring the Queen of Xiliang to the underworld a few years ago and replaced her. Soon, this clone had the cultivation level of a quasi-saint.
It took Cheng Long's clone, Sun Wukong, a long time to cultivate to the late stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal. Even the original body cultivated to this level by relying on the enchanting talent of Sun Wukong, the clone.
However, considering that Cheng Long was just an ordinary worker, it is understandable.
The Queen of Xiliang came this time only to show her goodwill and repay the man who gave her freedom.
……
the other side.
Bajie was talking to himself and having a great time chatting with Sha Seng.
The female prime minister who had greeted them earlier came over and saw the master and his disciples having a meal there. She coughed lightly and her eyes fell on Tang Seng. Then she said to them with a smile, "Holy monk, congratulations."
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
Tang Seng frowned and asked in confusion: "Why did the Prime Minister say that? There is no reason for us to be happy for so many masters and disciples."
The female prime minister smiled and explained, "Holy monk, our queen has just decided to change the Xiliang Women's Kingdom to the Xiliang Kingdom. However, in order to remove the word "women", you must become Xiliang citizens. As long as you are willing to become citizens, His Majesty will arrange 3 to 100 beautiful girls for you to marry."
"Ah~~ One hundred beautiful girls?"
When Zhu Bajie heard this, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Master, you've almost agreed. With a hundred wives and concubines, why would I go to get the scriptures? Wouldn't it be more fun to stay in Xiliang?"
Tang Monk chanted the Buddha's name for a long time, and said with a serious look: "I have pledged my life to Buddhism, so I must strictly abide by the Buddhist precepts. I am afraid that I will disappoint the king's kindness."
"Master~~"
Zhu Bajie immediately became anxious.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"Bajie, you have no right to speak here!"
Tang Seng turned around and glared at Bajie. This disciple was really not worthy of being used. He couldn't move when something good happened and had no heart to worship Buddha. He was far worse than Sha Seng.
The female prime minister snorted coldly upon hearing this, and waved her long sleeves, saying, "Holy monk, my Majesty's words are as good as gold. You must not be ungrateful. Marrying into Xiliang and marrying a hundred beautiful girls is a blessing that many people cannot even ask for. What's more, your accomplice Sun Wukong has already agreed to marry your Majesty as queen."
"Is this true? Sister Sun has agreed to marry Her Majesty the Queen?" Zhu Bajie widened his eyes in disbelief.
It's not just him.
Tang Monk and Sha Monk were also frightened.
Brother Sun is not that bad, right?
Clearly having a flower fairy as her Taoist partner, why did she let herself fall into depravity and marry the Queen of Xiliang?
"Of course it's true, otherwise why would your elder brother Sun stay in His Majesty's bedroom and not come out?"
The female prime minister crossed her arms across her chest, acting as if her Majesty's magnificent appearance could easily be captured by anyone. She said impatiently, "Don't be envious. His Majesty didn't say he would only marry Sun Wukong. You all have a chance, especially you."
Feeling the scrutiny of the female prime minister, Tang Seng straightened his face and said, "I am devoted to Buddhism. Apart from the Buddha, I cannot tolerate anyone else in my heart. I hope the prime minister can persuade the king to sign the clearance document as soon as possible and let us go west."
"Hmph, you don't know what's good for you!" The female prime minister snorted coldly, turned around and left. When she reached the door, she turned back to Tang Xuanzang and his disciples and said, "Holy monk, you might as well think about it carefully."
Bang!
After the door is closed.
Teams of female guards swarmed in and immediately guarded the entire palace tightly, actually putting them under surveillance.
Seeing this, Zhu Bajie sat on the stool happily, rubbing his belly and said, "Well, we can't leave now. The pass is in the hands of the queen. Brother Sun couldn't resist the queen's charm and planned to stay in Xiliang and marry her as queen."
"Master, I think it would be better if we just disbanded. Master, you can stay here with Brother Sun and the queen, and we disciples can go out and choose a hundred wives, give birth to hundreds of children, and spread out..."
"Brother, you are talking nonsense again. We are monks, how can we marry and have children?"
Sha Seng is not fond of beauty. It cannot be said that he has no interest at all. It’s just that compared with becoming a Buddha or a patriarch, a hundred women are not worth mentioning at all.
Completing the Journey to the West, gaining merit, increasing your cultivation, and achieving the right result are the real things to do.
Everything else is trivial.
"Bajie, your junior brother is right. If you stay here, forget about getting married." Tang Seng's attitude was quite firm, leaving no room for Bajie at all.
"But Master, Brother Sun has already fallen, and is now enjoying himself in the Queen's bedroom!"
When Bajie thought of the beautiful Queen of Xiliang being bullied by Brother Sun, he felt very uncomfortable. Brother Sun already had a fox fairy as beautiful as the Flower Fairy, so why did he stay in Xiliang and marry the Queen of Xiliang?
Do you really want to capture all the beauties of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom in one fell swoop?
That's so joyful!
I, Old Pig, also want to stay!
After about an hour, the door opened and a female official came over and bowed to the group, saying, "Are you all satisfied with this place? If not, just let me know and I will help you solve it."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie opened his mouth and said, "Can you give me another table of food?"
The female officer smiled and said, "No problem. Any other requests?"
"Can you arrange some beauties to drink with us..."
Come on, it’s Bajie talking nonsense again.
After hearing this, Sha Seng was too embarrassed to look at him and subconsciously turned his head away, acting as if he didn't know him.
Seeing Zhu Bajie so embarrassed, Tang Seng couldn't help but glare at him, clasped his hands together and said, "Please ask the lady official to report to the king and tell him that I hope the king can sign the customs document as soon as possible so that I can go west to obtain the scriptures."
"These are not my business. If the holy monk has no other requests, I will go and prepare vegetarian food for this master."
The female official had no intention of arranging women for Tang Seng and his disciples. If His Majesty had not ordered them to treat them well, she would have chased these people out just because Zhu Bajie was so arrogant as to ask for women to accompany them.
It doesn't take a while.
The female official arranged for someone to deliver a large table of vegetarian food.
Zhu Bajie, who had just finished eating for less than two hours, immediately picked up his chopsticks and began to eat with big mouthfuls.
Neither Tang Seng nor Sha Seng picked up their chopsticks. They both wanted to leave the Kingdom of Women and continue their journey to the west to complete their mission of obtaining the scriptures.
But before that, I have to meet Brother Sun to confirm whether he wants to stay and marry the Queen of Xiliang. (End of this chapter)
