You, a monster, still want to travel to the West?

The system of Zhuzi Kingdom is basically not much different from the Ming Dynasty in his impression. Although he is not an expert in history, he still knows this basic common sense.

Xiao Qingxin pinched the white snake's tail and asked curiously, "Another anti-poem, and another attempt to amass wealth, is he planning a rebellion?"

"I don't think so..."

Xia Zhiming pondered for a moment and then grumbled, "Which deity has so much free time? Rebellion is just making things difficult for yourself, right? Look at the Great Celestial Venerable, he spends every day in the Hall of Incense, guarding a pile of memorials he never finishes reading, and every now and then a monkey or a bodhisattva comes to mess with him. Who can stand that?"

Yang Chan blinked her eyes, covered her lips and asked curiously: "Is uncle really like this?"

Xia Zhiming smiled upon hearing this and said, "If you don't believe me, I'll teach you a trick: one day, find a reason to hold the Great Celestial Venerable host back. It won't take long, at most half an hour, and you'll know what it means to be like an ant on the hot pot. He'll definitely be more anxious to leave than you are."

"Zhiming...don't teach her bad things..."

Xia Zhiming said happily: "Don't worry, believe it or not, the Great Lord will have to thank me later."

Yang Chan: "I'll try it some other day!"

Xiao Qingxin: "..."

Little Fox: "..."

Chapter 258 Probe.jpg

Everyone chatted for a while. Yang Chan saw that the two little girls were silent after her words, so she pointed at the golden-haired lion in the gap and changed the subject: "We should just watch from here?"

"forget it."

Xia Zhiming lazily wagged his tail and said, "With the Bodhisattva backing him up, he won't get into any big trouble no matter what. Just have fun."

Xiao Qingxin tilted her head and said, "Then shall we go meet the King of Zhuzi Country?"

Xia Zhiming was puzzled: "Why are you looking for him?"

Yang Chan understood Qing Xin's meaning. Her eyes lit up immediately and she clapped her hands, saying, "The immortal came down to earth to show the way. The king suddenly woke up and made great efforts to rectify the court. This is indeed a good story."

"Don't," Xia Zhiming shook his tail. "Eunuchs meddling in government affairs, the Imperial Guards silencing public opinion, sounds intimidating, but look at this Zhuzi Kingdom. Where is there any sign of national ruin?"

"Whether they were eunuchs or Imperial Guards, they would actively protect their own rights and status. In the end, they accidentally worked together with the emperor and the court officials to run the Zhuzi Kingdom."

At this point, Xia Zhiming spat out his snake tongue and jokingly said: "Believe me - since this makeshift team is running fine, then don't touch it, it will easily collapse in an instant."

"What if something goes wrong?" Yang Chan asked with curiosity.

"If there's a problem, they'll kill the person who raised it first, patch it up for three years, and then three more years. One day, when the morale of this makeshift team fades, someone will naturally set up a few new makeshift teams. Everyone will expand the one they think is reliable, and then repeat the cycle."

After he finished speaking, the three girls looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, the little fox swallowed hard and exclaimed in amazement: "Brother Zhiming... so amazing..."

Beside him, Yang Chan hesitated for a moment and asked curiously: "Brother, what do you think of the Heavenly Court and your uncle?"

"Hmm... To be honest, I'm quite afraid that the Great Celestial Venerable will quit one day, and I doubt that all the saints think the same way."

"Puff!" x3

Back to the point.

Since Xia Zhiming said not to meddle in other people's business, the girls thought his words made sense, so they turned around and put the matter behind them and went back to having fun in the city.

……

————————————————————————

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

It was the height of summer, and Xiao Qingxin was ready to set off as planned, taking the White Snake and the little fox to the Liusha River to watch a show.

When saying goodbye, Yang Chan asked the reason and, as expected, clapped his hands and said, "How can I be absent from such an interesting event?", and then followed the main group without hesitation.

The three girls rode on a colorful cloud and headed eastward, seeing thousands of mountains and rivers on the way. As they were admiring the scenery, suddenly an auspicious cloud floated in front of them. On the cloud stood a half-familiar Buddha. When they looked closely, they found that it was Manjushri Bodhisattva.

Manjusri Bodhisattva spoke first, clasping his hands and smiling, "Amitabha, where are you going, my friends?"

Xia Zhiming, perched on Qingxin's shoulder, waved his tail in greeting, saying with a smile, "We're all just idle folks, wandering around for a bit. Where did the Bodhisattva come from? Where is he going?"

"I received the command from the Buddha to go to the mortal world to ferry people back to the West. Now I am returning to the West to report."

Seeing that there was no one beside him, Yang Chan asked curiously, "Where are the people you saved, Bodhisattva?"

When Manjushri heard her question, he shook his head and smiled, saying, "I transformed myself into an ordinary monk and went to beg for alms from that believer. Because I spoke a few awkward words, he had me tied up and drowned in the river. I waited for three days and three nights, hoping he would repent, but unfortunately, I could not see his repentance. Therefore, I can only return to the Western Paradise to report."

Xiao Qingxin was stunned when she heard this: "Is there such a stupid person?"

"You can't say that. The Buddhist sect has many ways of making things difficult for people."

Xia Zhiming spitted out his snake tongue and said happily, "For example: dragging people who want to go to the toilet and not letting them go, forcing people who want to commit suicide to take off their clothes and give them away, or looking at them with disgust when begging for alms. It really makes people feel bad. If I were to encounter such a situation, I would definitely not tolerate it. Beating them up would be the least of my worries."

"Cough cough!"

Upon hearing this, Manjusri Bodhisattva coughed twice, clasped his hands together, and chuckled softly, saying, "Buddha is merciful. Don't generalize. I have something else to attend to today. We'll talk again some other day if we have the chance."

After saying this, the Bodhisattva didn't wait for anyone to react. Auspicious clouds flashed under his feet and he flew a hundred miles away. He soon disappeared, leaving the girls staring at each other in bewilderment above the clouds.

Xiao Qingxin: "The Bodhisattva escaped so quickly!"

Yang Chan: "Sister, you used the word 'escape' very well!"

Little Fox: "Did Brother Zhiming really guess it right?"

Xia Zhiming looked at the three girls who were looking at him, nodded and chuckled without saying anything.

He had some impression of what Manjushri Bodhisattva had just said, which seemed to be about the King Cai Lifo of the Wuji Kingdom.

The man was a Buddhist and a kind-hearted man, and he was favored by the Buddha, but he ultimately failed to pass the test of the Bodhisattva. Not only did he miss out on a great blessing, but he would also face a disaster in the future. However, in the end, the monkey would come to clean up the mess, so he didn't take it to heart.

After a chance encounter, the three men and the snake continued to fly forward on the cloud, and within an hour they arrived at the Liusha River.

If you want to know what is going on, listen to the next breakdown.

Chapter 259 Good things require a simple and rough

Quicksand River——

This place has always been sparsely populated, with only raging waves that never stop flowing day and night.

It is said that three people and one snake landed from the clouds on the west side of the river bank. The sun was high in the sky and the weather was extremely hot. The two little girls could not avoid it, so they found a shady spot under a tree by the river to rest, eagerly waiting for Xia Zhiming to build a nest for them.

Under the shade of a tree by the river, Yang Chan sat with her hands embracing her knees, her pretty face resting on them. As she watched the bamboo house pointed out by the white snake transform from a mirage into a reality, she couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Brother, didn't they say that Demon King Peng was in seclusion here? Why don't we go find him?"

On Qingxin's shoulder, Xia Zhiming put on several layers of deception for the hut, and also put on a few layers for Yang Chan, and then replied: "Don't do that, he calls it seclusion, but in fact he has transformed into a dragon and is lurking at the bottom of the river. If we go to find him, I'm afraid we won't even have the northwest wind to drink."

"Yes, yes." Xiao Qingxin nodded repeatedly and added: "The last time Zhiming and I came here, we didn't even get a cup of tea."

Seeing that both of them said so, Yang Chan nodded to show that she understood. The little fox next to her didn't think so much and sat under the tree to enjoy the cool air. It was obvious that she had long been accustomed to this kind of clearly arranged life.

There is no way. Having a white snake around is really worry-free. Except for not being able to eat and sleep for them, they don’t have to worry about anything else, let alone consider the consequences. Sometimes the little fox feels that he is about to be spoiled.

After resting for a while, Xiao Qingxin didn't stay under the tree for long. She stood up and called the little fox to open the door of the bamboo house together. Yang Chan behind her hesitated for a moment, but quickly followed.

After entering the room, Yang Chan looked around and realized that her hesitation was completely unnecessary.

The bamboo house looked very small from the outside, but after entering, they found that there was a whole other world inside. It had three bedrooms, two living rooms and one bathroom, and the decoration was even more special. It was much better than the restaurant they stayed in in Zhuzi Country, and they didn't have to worry about not having enough room.

At this time, the two little girls had kicked off their shoes, and fell on the furry carpet with their white silk stockings on, cheering. Their little feet were dangling in the air, while Xia Zhiming cleverly slipped to the side and avoided the ruthless crushing of the two steel plates.

Yang Chan, who was standing nearby, noticed this and followed their example, bending over to take off her cloud shoes. She then picked up the white snake and carried it around the room, looking around and asking curious questions from time to time:

"Brother, what is this?"

"As for the sofa, just think of it as an oversized chair with a thick layer of cotton padding."

"What's this big mirror on the wall for?"

"It's just a mirror. When I'm around, it can also be used as a celestial monitoring mirror."

"And their white socks?"

"Do you understand what it means: 'Even a god can't save my flesh, even if it's strangled by white silk?'"

"Brother, you're a bitch~"

"... Stop imitating my way of speaking. All that fairy-like aura of yours is gone."

"Hehe~"

In the room, Yang Chan touched things left and right like a curious baby, while Xia Zhiming answered every question and told her the uses of various objects.

As the man and the snake talked, Xiao Qingxin and the little fox naturally heard everything clearly. They quickly got up from the carpet and followed them to explore the house.

"Zhiming, what is this ball on the wall?"

"The air conditioner can adjust the temperature in the room... No, girl, you are so awkward!"

"Brother Zhiming, what's in this box in the corner of the bathtub?"

"Fragrant dew, for bathing. You can rub your fox tail after washing."

"Oh~"

……

After a long while, the girls had figured out all the ins and outs of the little house. They then sat back on the sofa with White Snake, blinking their eyes and asking curiously, "Zhiming, why haven't I seen you do these things before?"

Xia Zhiming wagged his tail and knocked Yang Chan's Undying Grip away. When the girl reacted and let him go, he curled up in a ball and said helplessly, "It has no practical use, why bother making it?"

Don’t underestimate these gadgets from later times because they are novel. In fact, they are far different from the girls’ daily food, clothing and daily necessities.

What's their daily life like?

The answer is:

Colorful clothes are made into clothes, and colorful clouds are used to weave quilts.

Fairy dew cleanses the body and nectar rinses the mouth.

The fairy branches of the paulownia tree are used as a bed.

Kunlun jade is so beautiful that I only pick a whole piece to use as a footstool.

Anyway, whenever King Zhou of Shang saw this, he would have to say: There is still a lot of room for improvement in my wine pool and meat forest.

In this situation, if Xia Zhiming wanted to make his sister Chan'er behave herself, he could only think of some new ideas, or at least suppress her thoughts of making trouble, so as not to ruin the next good show.

Seeing that he said so, the girls did not ask any more questions, but instead gathered together to play with the so-called "Sky Monitoring Mirror".

Without Xia Zhiming's intervention, Yang Chan took out the Precious Lotus Lantern and placed it on the table. The wick in the green lotus flower shone with light, and ripples appeared on the mirror surface...

In a moment, the outline of the figure in the mirror gradually became clear, and the three people and the snake also saw the Great Heavenly Venerable who was holding a memorial and looking at everyone.

Xia Zhiming: “…”

Xiao Qingxin: "..."

Little Fox: "Sister Chan'er, who is this? He seems to be looking at us."

Yang Chan scratched her cheek and said awkwardly: "This... this is my uncle..."

Little Fox:⊙﹏⊙|||

In the mirror, the Great Celestial Venerable nodded upon hearing this, glanced at the three maids sitting upright on the sofa, thought for a moment, put down the memorial in his hand, leaned on the table and asked with a smile: "What's the important matter, Chan'er?"

"without……"

"Ok?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Chan'er wants to pay her respects to her uncle."

"Then come tomorrow and don't be so rude again."

"Oh~"

Yang Chan shrank her neck and nodded obediently.

Seeing how well-behaved she was, the Great Venerable in the mirror rarely smiled. He glanced at the white snake that was sneaking from Yang Chan's legs to Qing Xin. After thinking for a while, he said nothing and waved his sleeves to dispel the image in the mirror.

"Huh!!!" - Three people and one snake exhaled at the same time!

Xia Zhiming leaned over and complained harshly: "No, girl, do you think our lives are too long? This is also worth seeing!"

"Hehe, I just wanted to try and see if I could see the heaven." Yang Chan shrank her neck and stuck out her tongue, patting her chest with some fear.

Not to mention the little fox next to him, his tail and ears were so scared that the fur stood up, and he huddled in Qingxin's arms, trembling and shaking.

On the contrary, Xiao Qingxin was the calmest. With one hand, she held the white snake on her shoulder and with the other hand, she stroked the fur of the little fox in her arms. She stared at the Lotus Lantern on the table and asked curiously, "Sister, does this treasure have such a wonderful use?"
