Soul Ferry: My master is Uncle Jiu

Chapter 504: Sai Tai Sui

Rest for one night in Huitong Hall.

The next day.

An Yan and his companions got up early and went to the palace to exchange the pass.

The palaces and pavilions are majestic and the towers are magnificent, which is a style different from that of the Tang Dynasty.

After arriving outside the Duanmen Gate and explaining their purpose, the eunuch did not dare to neglect them, fearing that these were all experts, and quickly came to the front of the main hall to report: "There are two envoys from the Tang Dynasty in the East outside the court gate. They are going to the Great Leiyin Temple in the West and want to exchange customs documents. They are waiting for your majesty's order outside."

The king, who had been ill for a long time and had not attended court for a long time, was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "I have been ill in bed for a long time and have not held a morning court for a long time. I never thought that as soon as I reopened the morning court and posted a notice to recruit doctors, an envoy came from afar."

"Summon them to come in and see me!"

"Xuan!"

"The Tang envoy comes in to see me!"

Fortunately, the kneeling ceremony is not possible at this time, otherwise An Yan would definitely fall out with these kings.

An Yan and Tang Sanzang handed their respective customs documents to the eunuch for presentation.

As for Sun Wukong and the others, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, An Yan and Tang Sanzang decided to let them stay outside.

Many of the civil and military officials in the court are over 70 years old. If they are scared to death, their souls must be brought back.

When the king saw the reasons written on the two customs documents, he couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "How strange! Your document says 'preaching the scriptures', while the document for the mage says 'seeking scriptures'."

"Why?"

An Yan and Tang Sanzang are already used to being asked this question.

An Yan said: "I preach the scriptures for an answer."

"Oh? What's the answer?" the king asked curiously.

An Yan told the story slowly and leisurely.

"Many years ago, the Buddha Tathagata held the Ullambana Assembly on Mount Lingshan, sharing hundreds of exotic flowers and thousands of exotic fruits with the Buddhist monks, and preaching the sutras and teachings."

"Before the end, the Buddha said these words."

"I observed the four continents, and the good and evil of sentient beings were different in each place. Among them, it was said that my Southern Continent was full of greed, lust and pleasure, with many killings and quarrels. It was a place of fierce arguments and a sea of ​​right and wrong."

"It is also said that he is from the Western Niu Hezhou, where people are not greedy or murderous, and cultivate their energy and spirit. Although they are not the Supreme Ones, everyone lives a long life."

"After hearing this, I decided to go west to verify it and see if it was true."

Upon hearing this, the king did not rush to express his thoughts, but curiously asked: "The Taoist priest has come to my Zhuzi Kingdom from the Tang Dynasty. Does he have an answer in his mind?"

"I think it's an exaggeration." An Yan said directly without fear of offending the Buddha.

"In today's Tang Dynasty, the seas are peaceful and the rivers are clear, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there are no natural disasters or man-made disasters."

"On the other hand, I have encountered countless monsters of all sizes and strong men blocking my way all the way west."

"It doesn't necessarily mean not being greedy or killing, but nourishing one's energy and potential."

Even if we talk about the history before the Tang Dynasty, has the dynasty of Xiniu Hezhou never been in chaos?

The Jisai Kingdom ahead is still planning to send troops outward.

Not to mention, there are powerful monsters lurking around, endangering the human world.

When the king heard this, he thought of what happened to him and immediately felt the same way. He sighed and said, "What the Taoist said is exactly what I think."

He didn't dare to say anything bad about the Buddha, in case he turned out to be a stingy person, he would be in trouble.

Little did he know that the misfortune he was suffering now was also related to the Buddha.

Tang Sanzang had nothing to say, facts spoke louder than words.

Even if he wanted to say that what the Buddha said made sense, what he had seen and heard along the way really made him unable to express it in words.

Seeing that the king seemed to have something to hide, he asked, "Your Majesty, from what you said, have you encountered any problems?"

According to the previous practice, the king must have encountered some injustice and was waiting for them to resolve it.

You can tell from the king's appearance alone.

The king looked pale and thin, and looked weak and sick.

An Yan also said: "If you trust us, you can tell us, maybe we can help your majesty out of his predicament."

When the king heard this, he thought of what An Yan had just mentioned about immortals, gods, and monsters, and he was afraid that he was not an ordinary person, so he sighed and said, "To be honest with you, I have been ill in bed for a long time, and no medicine has helped. I am afraid that I don't have much time left."

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials were terrified and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. It is our fault that we failed to do our best."

An Yan knew that the King of Zhuzi Country was suffering from lovesickness, a heart disease, so no medicine would help.

"If Your Majesty trusts me, I will treat your illness after the morning court session."

"I think you are not an ordinary person, you must have some extraordinary qualities. I will trouble you then."

After approving the customs clearance documents, the king immediately withdrew from the court. Now nothing was more important than curing his illness.

And the civil and military officials did not dare to say anything that they could not trust. If they stood up now, wouldn't they be walking into His Majesty's trap?
They can't find anyone to cure them, and now someone says they can cure them but they're trying to stop them. What's their intention?
No one wants to do this thankless job.

Soon, the king moved to his bedroom and summoned the imperial physician to be at An Yan's side.

Tang Sanzang knew that An Yan had great magical powers, and no matter how difficult the disease in the mortal world was, it could only be cured by a touch of immortal energy, so he felt relieved.

The king, who had long been tortured by the disease and was no longer in human form, asked expectantly, "Master, what do you think?"

"No need to look." An Yan shook his head.

The king was stunned. "No need to look?"

"I already know what disease you have. Doctor, please remember the prescription." An Yan directly instructed the doctor.

The king was skeptical and asked the imperial physician to write it down.

An Yan said: "Two liang of nine-leaf parsley, one qian of cicada pupa on the winter solstice, add some snow from the previous year, and boil it into a bowl of water."

"Drink this medicine and the disease will be cured."

Upon hearing this, the imperial physician subconsciously said, "Paridis has seven leaves and one flower, so how can there be cicada pupae on the winter solstice? How can snow last until the next year?"

"Master, your prescription is so strange. What disease does His Majesty have? Can you tell me?"

After hearing what the imperial physician said, the king almost thought he was being fooled.

"Because this prescription is specifically for treating lovesickness." An Yan smiled slightly.

The doctor was stunned. "Lovesickness? Taoist priest, are you kidding me?"

As the ruler of a country, what is there to be sad about? The whole world belongs to him, and he has everything he wants.

But after seeing His Majesty's expression, the imperial physician dared not continue.

The king froze as if struck by lightning, with a bitter look on his face.

"Master, I understand your prescription. There is no cure for lovesickness."

"I still can't forget my Jin Sheng."

It turns out that unlike the main palace, east palace and west palace in other countries, the main palace in Zhuzi country is usually called the Golden Holy Palace, and the east and west palaces are called the Jade Holy Palace and the Silver Holy Palace.

Jin Sheng is the queen of the King of Zhuzi Kingdom.

Even Tang Sanzang did not expect that the King of Zhuzi Kingdom would be suffering from lovesickness.

He asked, "Your Majesty, why is Jin Sheng not in the palace?"

The king's eyes moistened, and he sighed, "Three years ago, during the festive season, I and Jin Sheng were celebrating in the Imperial Garden. Suddenly, a gust of evil wind blew, and a monster appeared in the air."

"That monster claimed to be Sai Tai Sui, saying that he lived in the Xiezhi Cave in the Qilin Mountain in the east, and that he was short of a wife in the cave. When he learned that I, Jin Shengsheng, was as beautiful as a flower, he wanted to take her to be his wife."

"I naturally don't want to see this happen. I will mobilize the Imperial Guards to encircle and suppress the monster."

"As a result, that day the Imperial Garden was flooded with blood, the Imperial Guards suffered heavy casualties, but the monster was unscathed." "Finally, the monster said, if you don't surrender after three cries, I will eat you first, then my ministers, and then all the people in the city."

"My poor Jin Sheng didn't want to see anyone die because of her, so she followed the monster away."

"You said that I am the king of a country, but I can't even protect my own woman. What kind of king am I?"

"Since then, my physical condition has been getting worse day by day."

"Golden Saint, great virtue, the monster is unjust, actually using the ruler of a country and the people of a city as a threat."

Tang Sanzang was furious after hearing this. How could he not get rid of such a vicious monster?
If it were him, he wouldn't be able to bear it either.

"Sanzang, I want Wukong and the others to go on a trip. What do you think?" An Yan suggested.

"Okay, I'll go inform them. An Yan, you stay here and help His Majesty recuperate."

Tang Sanzang said without hesitation.

Hearing that An Yan and his men were going to help Zhu Zi Country get rid of a great evil, the king was overjoyed and quickly bowed and said, "On behalf of the thousands of dawns of Zhu Zi Country, I thank you two for your kindness."

Afterwards, the king sent someone to send Tang Sanzang away.

An Yan no longer joked about the lovesickness prescription and directly sent a wisp of spiritual energy into the king's body.

Suddenly, the king's face turned rosy, and his dull black and white hair turned black and shiny.

It was as if time had gone back for the king, returning to three years ago.

"Thank you for your help, Taoist Priest. I am very grateful."

Seeing such a miracle happen to him, the King of Zhuzi was extremely excited. This meant that his return was just around the corner.

At the same time, the king, who had already approved of An Yan's words at the morning court, now bowed down in admiration and said respectfully, "Master, I would like to learn Taoism from you. Is that possible?"

"Just be sincere."

"But I won't be here for long, so I'll just give you a lecture on the sutras."

An Yan did not use any magic power, but just gave an ordinary lecture, but the king was fascinated by it and felt that his whole soul was sublimated.

To be able to listen to a great golden immortal preach is something that many people can only dream of.

Even if it is just this ordinary, it can allow the king to live a hundred years and greatly increase his understanding of Taoist scriptures.

Outside the Duanmen Gate.

Sun Wukong and the others who were waiting were squatting there doing nothing.

Tang Sanzang, who walked out, immediately attracted their attention and everyone gathered around him.

Sun Wukong said: "Master, you finally came out."

Seeing that only Master Sanzang was there, and his master was nowhere to be seen, Ao Lie asked curiously, "Excuse me, Master Sanzang, where is my master? Didn't he go in with you?"

"Your master is helping the king recuperate. He asked me to come out to give you an important task."

"Important matter? What important matter?" Ao Lie asked.

So Tang Sanzang told the story of Sai Taisui in the Xiezhi Cave of Qilin Mountain.

"Go to the Xiezhi Cave in Qilin Mountain as soon as possible, rescue Jin Sheng, and kill the monster."

"Finally there is work to do again. My body is almost rusting." Sun Wukong said as he stretched his waist.

Ao Lie also nodded, "Since it is the master's order, we will definitely kill the monster and rescue the people."

Sun Wukong and his companions, together with the Bull Demon King, headed eastward.

Since he only knew the approximate direction, after leaving the royal city, Sun Wukong knocked on the land god and mountain god and asked about Sai Tai Sui.

"Great Sage, this monster is very fierce and is only 800 miles away."

"He is fierce, but is he as fierce as me, Old Sun?"

Sun Wukong was almost slammed into the face of the land god, who was so scared that he shook his head repeatedly, "The Great Sage is fierce, the Great Sage is fierce."

"Brother Monkey, stop teasing him. Saving people is more important." Ao Lie shook his head.

"Oh no, he's been captured for three years. It doesn't matter whether he's still alive or not." Sun Wukong had no hope.

"If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body. How can I report to the master without giving me a result?" The Bull Demon King said in a muffled voice.

"Alright, alright, now it's my fault. I didn't say I wouldn't go. You guys are so boring." Seeing that Ao Lie and Bull Demon King both looked serious, Sun Wukong stopped playing.

"Let's go."

According to what the land god and mountain god said, after they walked eight hundred miles, they saw a high mountain piercing into the clouds.

The mountain is a beautiful mountain, but unfortunately it is occupied by monsters and the evil spirit is overwhelming.

Just when they found the Xiezhi cave, the cave door suddenly opened, and a wolf vanguard came out with a big knife, then flew towards the clouds where everyone was hiding.

"I really don't understand why the king wants to coax a human queen in every way and even snatch palace maids to serve her every year."

"What was the result? They ate two and they ate four. They wanted it the year before last, they wanted it last year, and they want it again this year."

"Don't ask for too many at once, you won't be able to spare half a finger each time."

The Wolf Vanguard's words were full of complaints, and the content was extremely scary.

These are man-eating monsters.

Ao Lie on the cloud said happily: "It seems that the Golden Saint is still alive."

Sun Wukong said, "Poor palace maids."

As soon as Wolf Vanguard rushed up to the clouds, he saw Sun Wukong and his companions and was stunned.

what's the situation?
Sun Wukong, who has turned over a new leaf, will not hold back on these man-eating monsters. He will wield his golden cudgel and hit them directly on the head.

The poor wolf vanguard died before he could even utter a scream.

The wolf's corpse fell into the mountain and a bloody rain fell from the sky.

"Brother Monkey, how do we fight?" Ao Lie asked.

Red Boy said, "There are so many of us. Do we still need to discuss how to fight? I say, just charge in and smash this monster cave."

"Did you hear what Red Boy said? Go right ahead!"

Sun Wukong was also unruly, pointing his stick at the Xiezhi Cave.

"I'll go first, the monster is mine, haha!"

Red Boy was fearless, not afraid of any danger inside. With a roar of Wuhu, he rushed down with his flaming spear in hand.

"You naughty boy, wait for your daddy!" The Bull Demon King was afraid that Red Boy was ambushed, so he hurriedly chased after him.

Every time he heard people like Bull Demon King calling Red Boy a naughty kid, Xiong Bin felt a little aggrieved. He wondered why they called a naughty ghost a naughty kid?

Who wasn’t like this as a kid?

But seeing that everyone else had already rushed down, Xiong Bin shook his head and followed.

Forget it, just let him call me dad.

In the Xiezhi Cave, Sai Taisui, who was thinking of ways to cheer Jin Sheng up, suddenly heard shouts and screams outside.

"Sai Tai Sui, are you worthy of being called Tai Sui? Get out here and die!"

When Sai Taisui heard this, he became furious.

Outrageous!

How dare you mess with the Tai Sui!
