Chapter 161: Scorpion Spirit
Because of the butterfly effect brought about by Li Anran, the monkey did not lead Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng to make a big fuss in the Sanqing Temple and throw all the statues of the Sanqing into the cesspool as they did in the original time and space.
The Jade Emperor did not get angry and humiliated like he did in the original time and space, and did not let the Green Bull Demon take the Vajra Cutter and block Tang Seng and his disciples in the Golden Gourd Cave on the Golden Gourd Mountain and torture them.
It was not until Tathagata sent Arhats to offer elixir sand that he calmed down, took away the Green Bull Demon, and allowed Tang Seng and his companions to continue their journey to the west.
on the contrary.
Because he was worried that something bad might happen to the Eight Immortals in the Upper Cave of Dongsheng Shenzhou, Taishang Laojun intended to make friends with Buddhism.
Although he was embarrassed to call back the Green Bull Demon who had been sent to the mortal world a long time ago, he still took back the Vajra Cutter that he had given to the Green Bull Demon.
In this way, the Green Bull Demon, who in the original time and space relied on the Vajra Cutting Blade to fight against the gods and Buddhas of the three realms, turned into an enhanced version of the Black Wind Monster.
After fighting with the monkey and satisfying his desire to fight, he deliberately shouted out the three words "Bimawen", revealing his identity.
And the whole incident was caused by Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng who accidentally broke into the Golden Gourd Cave, took things without permission, stole the clothes of the Green Bull Demon, and were caught red-handed!
The monkey was too embarrassed to look for Li Anran. After finding out from the heaven that the Green Bull Demon was the mount of Taishang Laojun, he went to the Tushita Palace and asked Taishang Laojun to come down to earth and take the Green Bull Demon away.
It took less than two days in total.
Afterwards, the four masters and apprentices crossed the Jindou Mountain and walked west for half a day before arriving at the Zimu River outside the city of the Kingdom of Daughters and Girls.
In the original time and space, Tang Seng and Zhu Bajie were thirsty after a day's journey. When they saw the clear water of the Zimu River, they couldn't help but drink a few sips, and then they became pregnant.
This time is no exception!
And there is a new unlucky guy, Sha Seng!
Only the monkeys instinctively sensed something was wrong, and thanks to the speed at which the water from the Zimu River took effect, they were able to escape the disaster.
"Master, please bear with me for a moment. I will get you some hot soup!"
At first, the monkey thought that the three people had stomachaches due to eating something bad, so he took them to a village not far from the Zimu River to ask for some hot water to drink.
As a result, he was surrounded by the old women in the village.
Each of them had a silly smile on their face, and their eyes were filled with eagerness as if they wanted to eat them alive.
Not to mention Tang Seng, even the monkey felt a little uncomfortable being stared at like that.
"This country of women is so weird!"
When the monkey arrived at the Zimu River, he noticed that there was a strong yin energy above the Kingdom of Women, which was completely different from the previous Chechi Kingdom.
When we got closer, we could sense a ghostly aura in the air. It didn't seem like this was a mortal world, but more like the underworld.
At this moment, these old women were like evil spirits, staring at them as if they were looking at the cattle and sheep in the pen or the meat on the chopping board.
The monkey suddenly became more alert, with a gleam in his eyes, and he used his fiery eyes to observe the old women in front of him.
It turned out that although the aura they exuded was very strange, they were all ordinary mortals.
"Um?!"
Suddenly, the monkey noticed the ornament around the old woman's neck.
It was a necklace of bone beads polished into the size of grapes and strung together with five-colored thread.
More importantly, these bone beads are not animal bones, but human bones!
Then, the monkey found more human-related accessories on them!
Sachets made from ground human flesh and added with spices, nose studs and earrings made from polished finger bones, bracelets woven from hair... and so on!
Almost every old woman has a few of these ornaments, which are filled with a faint sense of resentment!
Apparently, these ornaments were not made from the bodies of people who died of natural causes, but from the bodies of people who died tragically!
What’s even more peculiar is that these accessories fit in perfectly with those old ladies!
This harmony is not in appearance, but in qi!
It was as if the two sides had merged into one and blended with each other, which was why the monkey didn't notice it at first!
Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng had both been monsters for many years and had eaten countless people, so they noticed these ornaments earlier than the monkey.
However, they also realized that these old women posed no threat, and after a brief moment of confusion, their attention shifted back to their own stomachs, which were in extreme pain.
"Mr. Chen said earlier that those who dare to do business in the Kingdom of Women are willing to risk their lives to come. I thought it was because of monsters blocking the road, but I didn't expect that the danger was the Kingdom of Women itself!"
The monkey noticed this, but didn't take it to heart.
He is not a person who is eager to help others, and the affairs of ordinary people have nothing to do with him!
The most important thing now is to solve the problem of Tang Seng and his two other companions suffering from unbearable abdominal pain!
This must be related to the river!
The monkey frightened the old ladies with his bared teeth, and grabbed one of them and asked her about the stomachache of Tang Seng and the other two.
"This is the Women's Kingdom of Xiliang. Our country is full of women, and there are no men, so we are happy to see you. The water your master drank is not good. The river is called Zi Mu River..."
The old woman was so frightened that she told the monkey all about the Zi Mu River, the Zhao Tai Spring, the Luo Tai Spring, and the Ruyi Immortal.
"Pregnant?!" The monkey was stunned.
Even though he claimed to be knowledgeable and experienced in all three realms, this was the first time he heard of a man getting pregnant!
Tang Seng and his two companions were panic-stricken and scared to tears. They never thought that such a thing would happen in their lives.
"You two should take good care of Master. If the people in this village are rude, use some tricks to scare them. Don't let them harm Master."
The monkey did not dare to delay, so he gave some instructions to Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng, and then hurriedly rode the cloud to Jieyang Mountain, which was thirty miles away.
As a result, they did not find the broken cave that the old woman mentioned, but only saw a village with an old Taoist sitting at the door.
The monkey went forward and asked, only to find out that since the arrival of Immortal Ruyi, this broken cave was renamed Juxian Temple, and the old Taoist was Immortal Ruyi's eldest disciple.
The monkey was not interested in the matter and only wanted to ask for a bowl of abortion spring water. However, he was told that Ruyi Zhenxian was not in the nunnery and he did not know when he would come back.
If he wants the abortion-inducing spring water, he needs to offer a gift of flowers, red wine and so on.
The monkey naturally didn't have these things, so he could only beg kindly, hoping that the Taoist would do him a favor.
but……
"Sun Wukong? Never heard of him! My master protects the mountain spring and never gives it away for free. Without gifts of red wine and flowers, even if the king of heaven comes, he can't ask for a sip of spring water!"
"You really won't give it to me?"
“No!”
"Certainly!"
The monkey got angry and used a spell to immobilize the old Taoist priest. He then fetched a bowl full of spring water that could help induce abortions and returned to the village to help Tang Seng and the other two to have an abortion. He then gave the rest to the old ladies in exchange for a vegetarian meal.
The next morning, the master and his four disciples followed the road westward and walked for thirty or forty miles before arriving at the capital of the Kingdom of Women.
The street was filled with women of all ages, wearing long skirts and short jackets, with powdered faces and slicked hair. When they saw the four men, their eyes lit up, and they rushed over, clapping and laughing: "The human race is here! The human race is here!"
Tang Seng was so frightened that his face turned pale. Zhu Bajie was extremely happy when he saw all the beauties in the city. He shouted loudly: "I am a sold pig! I am a sold pig!"
The so-called selling pigs means breeding pigs.
Zhu Bajie has been in Yunzhan Cave for so many years and has eaten many people, so he is not afraid of these mortal women.
"If you dare to yell again, I will make you a castrated pig!"
The monkey glared at Zhu Bajie, and then asked Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng to show their true faces. The three hideous and ugly faces appeared together and barely scared away the women around them.
The commotion here soon attracted the attention of officials from the Kingdom of Women, who led Tang Seng and his entourage to the Yingyang Posthouse, which was used to receive envoys from afar.
After Tang Seng revealed his identity, the postmaster hurried to the palace to report the matter to the Queen of Daughters.
Tang Seng and his three disciples stayed in the inn to have a meal. But before they could take a few bites, the Grand Tutor of the Kingdom of Women walked in.
It is said that the Queen of the Kingdom of Women dreamed last night that "the golden screen was colorful and the jade mirror was bright", and today she saw the emperor's younger brother from the Tang Dynasty in the East coming. This is a good sign, and the Queen of the Kingdom of Women is willing to use the wealth of the whole country as a betrothal gift, and recruit Tang Monk to be the king and herself to be the queen.
Zhu Bajie was very excited after hearing this and volunteered himself, but was rejected for being too ugly.
Tang Seng wanted to refuse directly, but before he could open his mouth, the monkey had already agreed.
Tang Seng got anxious and grabbed the monkey, asking, "How can you say such a thing, you monkey? You want me to find a husband here? I want to go to the West to seek the scriptures, how can I stay here!"
The monkey quickly explained: "Master, if we don't agree to her, they will definitely not exchange the pass and let us go! If they have more malicious intentions, they might have someone cut off your flesh and make it into some kind of sachet. What should we do then?"
"I am not afraid of them. I will kill all the people in this country. But they are not monsters after all. You are kind and compassionate and will not let us kill them."
"Apart from pretending to agree to their request, tricking them into exchanging the pass, and then taking the opportunity to leave, what else can we do?"
Tang Seng stopped talking immediately.
Although he did not recognize that the ornaments worn by the women were made of human bones and hair, he also realized that there was something wrong with this country of women.
The greed and madness in those women's eyes, the strong malice that wanted to eat him alive!
It was no worse than those monsters he had encountered before who wanted to eat him!
When the Queen of the Kingdom of Women came, she brought a large group of people with her, but when she left, she only took a few of her attendants with her.
The purpose of leaving these people behind is also very obvious——
Keep an eye on them and don't let them escape!
All these signs indicate that the Queen of the Kingdom of Women, or the entire Kingdom of Women, will not let them leave!
"What should I do if they don't let me go and force me to get married?" Tang Seng made his last struggle.
"Don't worry, Master. I'm here and I'll find a way to leave." The monkey patted his chest and promised.
Tang Seng was speechless upon seeing this and could only follow the monkey's plan and pretend to agree to marry the Queen of the Kingdom of Women.
However, he never dared to look the Queen of Daughters in the eye!
It wasn't because the Queen of Women was so stunningly beautiful that he was worried that he would be tempted by her, but he was simply afraid!
Compared with ordinary people in the Kingdom of Women, the King of the Kingdom of Women is dignified, gentle and generous, and every glance of his shows his strong admiration for him.
However, when Tang Seng met the Queen of the Kingdom of Women for the first time, he realized that this was just a disguise!
Behind this disguise is an evil thought that is far deeper and stronger than those of the women outside!
Tang Seng was scared!
I don’t even dare to look the Queen of the Kingdom of Women in the eye!
When there is no escape, just close your eyes and recite scriptures in your mind to calm your fear!
So much so that when he was captured by the Scorpion Demon, he was not panicked at all, he even felt a little fortunate!
result……
"Don't worry, my brother. Although my place is not the palace of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom and is not as rich and luxurious as the others, it is still free and easy, and it is just right for you to chant the Buddha's name and read the sutras. I will be your companion, and I will be freer and more relaxed than you would be if you were the king."
Tang Monk: “…”
Why doesn't the monster eat me, but wants to marry me? !
