Journey to the West: Begins with Tiger Vanguard

Chapter 115 Being soft-hearted is a disease!
When several tall soldiers wearing full armor and holding weapons forced the pilgrims to the place where their carriages were parked when they came, they turned and left.

"What should I do?"

Tang Sanzang watched the guards leave and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. However, the heavy blow from the king's words in the court had made his body, which had not yet fully recovered, suddenly weak and his face became even paler. At this moment, his body trembled and he said in a trance, "What should I do?"

"Master."

Sun Wukong on the side immediately reached out and supported Tang Sanzang.

"If you want me to tell you"

Looking at his weak master, Zhu Bajie said, "Why go to such trouble? Why not let Monkey King take our "pass" and come back at night? He can just steal the old king's seal and stamp it and that's it!"

"Why do we need to be driven away by them like this?"

Hearing what Zhu Bajie said.

Before that, Tang Sanzang would definitely curse the idiot for being lawless.

But now, the weak Tang Sanzang could only ignore it.

"go with!"

Sun Wukong, who was standing by, heard the voice and immediately yelled at Zhu Bajie, "Things in this world are not as simple as you say. Go ahead. If you can't come up with a solution, don't make trouble."

As he said this, Sun Wukong immediately looked at Tang Sanzang who was in poor health and said, "Master, let's get in the car first."

soon.

Sun Wukong then helped Tang Sanzang onto the Jinshan Temple carriage they had taken.

Seeing Sun Wukong getting off the car, Zhu Bajie immediately said unconvincedly: "Brother, sometimes you have to keep it simple. If you don't use the method I thought of, it will be difficult next time. The old king is very resentful of us monks. I don't think it will be easy to get his forgiveness."

Of course Sun Wukong knew that this would not be an easy task. He knew it as soon as he entered the city.

It's just like what Second Junior Brother just said, come to steal the seal at night and stamp it directly. It's okay to say it, but it's definitely not possible if you really want to do it.

This time, protecting and helping Master Tang Sanzang to go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures is a major matter concerning the Heavenly Palace and Lingshan Mountain. No one knows how many eyes are watching them behind the scenes.

Bajie doesn’t know these things, but how could he not know?
If he really did that, who knows how much trouble would be waiting for them in the future.

After all, the Bodhisattva had told him that they must protect their master Tang Sanzang and move forward step by step until they reach Lingshan Mountain, only then could they obtain the true scriptures and achieve the right result.

How dare he cheat and deceive the Buddha and make things difficult for himself?

"go"

"How can you do this?"

Hearing that Zhu Bajie seemed to be getting serious, Sun Wukong immediately said angrily: "Why don't you just take Master all the way to the Lingshan Mountain in the West? That would save a lot of trouble!"

Hearing what Sun Wukong said, Zhu Bajie looked even happier and said, "That's even better. We don't have to walk so hard step by step."

"go"

Sun Wukong ignored Zhu Bajie and just turned to look in the direction of the imperial palace.

Seeing that his senior brother ignored him, Zhu Bajie immediately looked at the third monk Sha who was silent beside him and said, "Brother Sha, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Sha Seng just said calmly: "I think what Senior Brother said is right. I will listen to Senior Brother."

Seeing the attitude of his fellow apprentices, Zhu Bajie could only grumble, "They are all stubborn. It's a simple matter, but they have to make it so troublesome, just like that old monk."

Ignored Bajie's complaints.

After waiting for a while, the tiger demon disappeared.

Sun Wukong was not prepared to wait any longer, so he immediately walked to the front of the carriage and sat down next to the driver's seat. He said to the driver of Jinshan Temple who was sitting next to him, "Go back."

soon.

The carriage then moved away.

The tall Sha Seng followed quickly.

However, when Zhu Bajie, who had just sulked and sat alone, turned around, he realized that the carriage had gone far away. He stood up and shouted, "Brother, wait for me."

When Qi Hu, dressed in a blue robe, left the court and walked to the carriage, he found that the pilgrim team had already left.

He wasn't surprised either.

He gave an instruction to the disciple driving the carriage, got on, and headed towards Jinshan Monastery.

creak creak
Listen to the rhythmic sound of wheels rolling under the car.

Qi Hu in the carriage couldn't help but recall the brief meeting between the pilgrims and the king.

In addition to his outstanding appearance, Tang Sanzang's understanding of Buddhism, knowledge and skills are undoubtedly excellent, otherwise he would not have been able to stand out from the Chang'an Water and Land Assembly and be selected by the current Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

However, he met the King of Chechi, who was already full of resentment and had received his hint.

If he had really hit the point and shown a good attitude in the court before, the king might have been nicer to him.

But this time, Tang Sanzang only talked about Buddhism, Dharma, thoughts, and saving all living beings, and he also wanted to excuse the monk who had caused trouble for Chechi Kingdom before.

This not only failed to satisfy the king, but only made the king, who was already dissatisfied with the monks, even more disgusted.

There was no hint from Qi Hu!
The king was also very dissatisfied with the so-called great Tang monk who only talked nonsense and Buddhist teachings.

Not to mention the hint from the national teacher.

The king then became furious and expelled Tang Sanzang and his three disciples in public, which greatly damaged the reputation of the pilgrim team.

to be frank.

Even Qi Hu himself was somewhat surprised by the information he had shared yesterday. The entire pilgrimage team thought about it all night, and Tang Sanzang came up with the idea of ​​using Buddhism to deal with the king.

Those things are useful when Buddhist monks are preaching and debating.

But for a king who swept away the weakness and poverty of the previous dynasty, which had plagued the country for decades, revived the entire Chechi Kingdom, and even pushed the national strength to a higher level, and who could definitely be regarded as the leader of the Chechi Kingdom's revival, how could those things that fooled the lower-class people fool him?

"This level"

After learning about the real Tang Sanzang, Qi Hu couldn't help but shook his head.

Although he was ordered by Zhang Tianshi to stop the team from obtaining Buddhist scriptures in Chechi Kingdom.

But public is public and private is private!

He had some prejudice against the pilgrims before, but now...
Of course, this was exactly what he had in mind.

Actually think about it carefully.

The entire nation of Chechi now hates Buddhism.

Even without Qi Hu's support, the pilgrim team would not have had an easy time.

Now with him, it's even harder.
The pilgrim team was humiliated in public and were expelled from the court.

If it were a film or TV series, Qi Hu, who is a real villain and a shady guy, would naturally be in a good mood at this time.

I just got off the carriage after returning to the backyard of Jinshan Temple.

When Xiong Er, the ghost steward, heard the news, he quickly came over and said respectfully, "Master, Elder Tang is ill. I just called a doctor for him."

"Oh"

Hearing this, Qi Hu felt better immediately, but he certainly couldn't show it on his face, so he pretended to be surprised and said, "Let me go and take a look."

talking.

Qi Hu left his henchman Xiong Er behind and immediately strode towards the large guest room of the pilgrim team.

Entered the room.

Qi Hu saw a gray-haired old man and a boy in the huge guest room, and Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng were sitting or standing nearby. As for Tang Sanzang, he was lying on a bed nearby, with a hot towel on his forehead, looking weak and pale, and in a very bad condition.

The white-haired old doctor was sitting beside Tang Sanzang's bed at this time. After asking Tang Sanzang about his health and feeling his pulse, he was about to speak.

The boy carrying the medicine box saw Qi Hu coming and immediately knelt down and saluted with trembling body.

The gray-haired old doctor noticed something at this time, turned around, and saw the figure coming. He immediately knelt on the ground and saluted, saying: "I greet the master of the state!"

“No need to be polite”

As Qi Hu waved his hand, an invisible force immediately lifted up the old doctor who was struggling to stand up and asked, "How is Elder Tang?"

The old doctor suppressed his excitement and immediately stood up and said, "Master, this elder is suffering from a cold, emotional disorder, and excessive worry. I will prescribe some medicine for him. He will recover after taking it for a few days and having a good rest."

Qi Hu nodded and said nothing.

soon.

The gray-haired old doctor wrote out a prescription and said, "Here is the prescription. I don't have the medicine right now, so I have to go back to the clinic. Once I get the medicine, I'll send someone to deliver it to the elder."

Hearing this, Qi Hu turned around and looked at Xiong Er, the lackey beside him. Xiong Er immediately understood and said, "No need to trouble you. I will ask someone to follow Doctor Liu back to the clinic to get the medicine."

When Xiong Er took the doctor and the boy away.

Only the pilgrim team and Qi Hu were left in the guest room.

Tang Sanzang looked pale as he looked at Qi Hu and said, "I'm sorry for letting you down."

“Elders Need Not Be Overly Anxious”

Qi Hu immediately smiled and soothed him, saying, "Those bad apples did so much harm to Chechi State that His Majesty has not let it go for many years. It will not be easy to change His Majesty's mind in a short time. Elders, please don't be impatient."

"The doctor just said that the elder is ill because he is too worried."

"Elder, don't think too much about it for now. Just stay in my temple for a few days and take care of yourself. It won't be too late to think of a solution later."

"Since Your Majesty has promised to meet the elders again, he will not change his mind. The elders can rest assured."

Hearing Qi Hu's words.

Tang Sanzang's expression eased a little.

Seeing that Zhu Bajie seemed to have something to say, he was embarrassed to speak.

Qi Hu didn't stay long and said goodbye.

Tang Sanzang on the bed said hurriedly: "Master, please take care. I am not feeling well, so I won't see you off."

As he said this, he immediately looked at Sun Wukong standing beside him and said, "Wukong, please help me see the Taoist priest off."

Sun Wukong understood immediately. Before Tang Sanzang finished speaking, he followed him and walked Qi Hu to the door, saying, "Master, take care."

Qi Hu didn't say anything. He bowed to Sun Wukong, turned around and walked away.

Sun Wukong closed the door.

Zhu Bajie said immediately: "I said that Master is a mortal. We walked too fast and too hurriedly before. Look, Master is sick now, right?"

The hidden joy and a hint of gloating in these words made the usually taciturn monk Sha Seng unable to bear it any longer. He sighed and said, "Second Brother, didn't you hear what the doctor just said? Master has a cold and is too worried, not because of the rush of travel."

"It's all the same, it's all the same"

After hearing what Junior Brother Sha said, Zhu Bajie just waved his hand and said, "Anyway, this can be considered a blessing in disguise. Master can recuperate here, and we can also rest here for a few days. There is food and drink in Jinshan Temple, what a great place. If we don't rest enough, how can we justify our previous fatigue?"

Zhu Bajie talked to himself.

Sha Seng shut up again and Sun Wukong ignored him. He just walked to his master's bed and helped him lie down.

As for Tang Sanzang himself, he had long been accustomed to that scoundrel Bajie, and even had the energy to scold him when he was fine.

As for now, he didn't have the energy to be angry with that guy.

Outside the guest room.

When Qi Hu walked out of the courtyard where the master and his disciples stayed, he recalled the pale and weak appearance of Tang Sanzang lying sick in bed, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind: "Did I go too far?"

But then.

Qi Hu immediately shook his head.

Not to mention today's pilgrimage team, Tang Sanzang's illness and bedriddenness actually had little to do with him.

It was because of himself that he shouldn't have such thoughts.

He came to Chechi Kingdom to serve as the national teacher following the order of Zhang Tianshi and the will of the Heavenly Court.

He had waited for this day for more than thirty years!
If he does well in this difficulty, he may be able to get in touch with Zhang Tianshi in the future, and indirectly climb up the thigh of the Heavenly Court that rules the three realms and four continents. This is enough to change his fate as a little monster with no background, no roots, and no resources!

No one can stand in my way!
What's more, being soft-hearted is also a disease!

People who are soft-hearted are all unblessed.

Not to mention, Tang Sanzang, the second disciple of Tathagata Buddha, who is the leader of Lingshan, the person in charge, and the ruler of the world: the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, when will it be his turn to show pity and soft-heartedness?

I don’t have the qualifications!

shook his head.

Qi Hu didn't think any more and turned to walk deeper into the backyard.

He stopped when he reached his eldest and second brother's room.

Listening to the sounds of the eldest and second brothers drinking and laughing in the room.

Qi Hu, who was happy in his heart, also wanted to have a drink.

But after calming down, he suppressed this thought.

At this time, he handled the pilgrimage team very well, and even made Tang Sanzang sick and bedridden. The situation could be said to be very good.

But the more this happens, the more we cannot be careless.

Sun Wukong is so smart and has such strong cultivation ability. He cannot let his guard down until the team leaves Chechi Kingdom and this difficulty comes to an end.

Thinking of this.

Qi Hu stood quietly in front of his eldest and second brothers' rooms for a while, then turned around and left.

I went all the way up to the highest corner tower of Jinshan Temple.

Go into your own quiet room for practice.

He waved his hand to light the incense, sat cross-legged on the cushion in the center of the quiet room, and concentrated his mind.

Qi Hu then entered into a state of cultivation.

In the next few days.

With four more teams coming to seek the scriptures, the entire Jinshan Temple became a lot more lively.

Apart from visiting the sick Tang Sanzang in the guest room every day to show his concern and to get some news, Qi Hu basically stayed in the quiet room, meditating and practicing quietly.

In this way, ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

The morning of the tenth day.

Qi Hu, who had just finished breakfast, came to a guest room in the backyard where the pilgrimage team was as usual.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw the handsome monk Tang Sanzang, who was wearing a bright robe, holding a staff, and a monk's hat, and looked in a very good mood. He walked out of the guest room door and saw Qi Hu from afar.

Tang Sanzang immediately stepped forward, bowed with a smile on his face and said: "Thank you for your care over the past few days, Taoist priest. I am now in good health and ready to meet the king again. Thank you for your help, Taoist priest."
