Although Xuanzang made a solemn oath, the facts of the Flame Mountain are too complicated and cannot be solved overnight. They can only be discussed in the long term.

Therefore, the merchants specially made a good room in the already crowded Gaochang City for the four masters and apprentices to live in, and also sent them a lot of vegetarian food, obviously considering them as their only hope.

Of course, these merchants are not pure and kind people. In addition to making proper arrangements for food and accommodation, they also specially arranged a dozen guards to surround the post house. The nominal excuse was of course to protect the holy monks from resting.

Being disturbed, as for the actual purpose, it is self-evident.

After dinner, it was already getting late. Xuanzang saw that the three disciples looked a little worried, and no one was willing to say anything. He was about to use his persuasive words to persuade the three disciples to discuss the matter with him.

However, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. When he opened it, he saw that it was Xu Xiaoliu, the young man who had collected the mountain tax during the day.

Xuanzang asked curiously: "Little donor Xu came to visit late at night, but he didn't know what important matter he had?"

Xu Xiaoliu knelt down on the ground with a pop, and said with a grateful face: "I came to thank the holy monk for saving my life during the day. If the holy monk hadn't saved me, I would have been beaten to death by those people today."

Xuanzang hurriedly helped him up and said: "It's good, it's good. Monks are compassionate and it is their duty to save people in danger. The donor really does not need to do this."

Xu Xiaoliu sighed: "The holy monk of the Tang Dynasty is really a living Buddha in this world. By the way, but I don't know that the holy monk and his disciples are discussing this over-the-mountain matter?"

Xuanzang had a thought in his mind and said: "Exactly, I wonder if little donor Xu has any good ideas?"

Xu Xiaoliu pondered for a while and said: "As far as I know, the Iron Fan Empress has a very strong personality. Once she decides something, she will never change it. Moreover, it is said that her husband is an ancient god. If she offends her,

I'm afraid it won't be good anymore."

Xuanzang was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Wukong and the others. Seeing that the three disciples did not have any objection to the title of "Ancient God", he knew that the background of Princess Iron Fan was indeed not simple. No wonder they looked like this.

Embarrassed.

Thinking of this, he sighed with disappointment: "In this case, is there really no way to do it?"

Xu Xiaoliu said: "That's not true. I just remembered something that might be of some use to the holy monk."

Xuanzang said hurriedly: "Little donor, please speak."

Xu Xiaoliu said: "When I was young, I heard my grandfather mention a person who seemed to have a close relationship with the Iron Fan Empress. Moreover, this person should be much easier to talk to than the Empress. Many people passed by in his name back then.

The Empress will take special care of the Flame Mountain. If I can get through to him, I might be able to persuade the Empress to change her mind.

However, these are all things of the past, and I can’t say whether they are still useful today.”

Xuanzang was overjoyed and said, "But I don't know what this person's name is? Where does he live?"

Xu Xiaoliu said: "My grandfather didn't know that person's name, but he had the honor to meet her once. She was said to be a woman more beautiful than a fairy. She smiled at my grandfather and made him laugh until his death.

Never forget it."

"A woman more beautiful than a fairy?" Bajie on the side immediately became energetic after hearing this, and couldn't help but interject: "Brother Xu, don't exaggerate. Is that woman really that beautiful?"

Xu Xiaoliu nodded his head and said: "I dare not deceive you elders. Although my grandfather has stayed in Gaochang City all year round, he is still a well-informed person. According to him, this woman's beauty can be described as overwhelming, so she

Compared with her, the Iron Fan Empress also lacks a bit of charm."

Bajie swallowed his saliva and said, "What you said is quite lively, but where can I find this nameless person?"

Xu Xiaoliu said: "It's not that there are no clues at all. My grandfather once heard someone say that the woman came from Moyun Cave in Jilei Mountain. It's just that my knowledge is shallow, but I never know where Jilei Mountain is?"

"Ji Lei Mountain?" Sha Monk's expression suddenly changed, as if he remembered something, and couldn't help but repeat it.

Bajie hurriedly said: "Junior Brother Sha, do you know where Ji Lei Mountain is?"

Sha Monk pondered and said: "I think I heard someone from the Lei Department mention it back then. It should be not far from the Flame Mountain. It wouldn't be difficult to find a mountain god's land nearby to explore."

Bajie couldn't help stroking his palms and said: "Very good, very good. Such a beautiful woman must also be a kind-hearted person. Master, I think it's better to give it a try according to the method that little brother Xu said. Maybe you can get through it."

By gaining the Flame Mountain, you don’t have to offend that... Princess Iron Fan, it’s a way to get the best of both worlds.”

Xuanzang also felt that there was some truth to this, so he quickly clasped his hands and said, "In that case, we need more little benefactors like Xu. If we can really solve this problem, little benefactor Xu will have great merits."

Xu Xiaoliu said he didn't dare, and just then said goodbye to Xuanzang's master and disciple, got up and left the post house.

Xuanzang closed the door and said: "It's good, it's good. Buddha once said that good and evil will be rewarded. Now it seems that it is indeed the best principle in the world. I accidentally saved Little Donor Xu today, and Little Donor Xu will save you in the evening."

It is a very urgent thing for me and it is really a great joy."

After saying that, he turned to look at Wukong, who was still silent, and said: "Wukong, this matter about Ji Lei Mountain..."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Wukong shook his head and interrupted: "Old Sun has never liked to associate with those women. If master wants to send someone to Jilei Mountain to ask for help, don't send me, Old Sun, otherwise it may be counterproductive.

."

Xuanzang saw that Wukong still didn't want to care about the mountain crossing, so he sighed. He wanted to persuade him again, but he saw that Bajie had already volunteered and said: "Master, let me, an old pig, take care of such trivial matters."

That is, I promise to bring that woman... no, I promise to explain my interests to her and ask her to persuade the Iron Fan Princess."

After all the previous experiences, Xuanzang still couldn't guess Bajie's thoughts. Naturally, he was unsure, so he said to Sha Seng: "Wujing, Wukong wants to stay in the city to recuperate. Since you have heard about Ji Lei Mountain,

How about I take the trouble to go there early tomorrow morning?"

Sha Monk looked at Bajie, pondered for a while, and said: "Master, although the disciple can find a place, since this woman has many contacts with Princess Iron Fan, her skills must not be simple. If the negotiation is deadlocked, just rely on

I'm afraid I won't be able to end this with my own strength."

Xuanzang sighed helplessly and said: "In that case, Bajie, you can go with Wujing tomorrow. If something unexpected happens, you can take care of it. But you must remember that you need to be careful with that woman."

It's polite to persuade her to help."
