"The holy monk and his disciples came all the way and passed through our country of Xiliang Women. This is why I, the king, have the honor to meet the holy monk today. It is truly a blessing from heaven!"
The Queen of Xiliang had a full smile on her face, and her eyes were filled with burning love when she looked at Xuanzang, and she did not hide it at all.
You must know that Xuanzang was already majestic and majestic in appearance. He was also influenced by countless Buddhist teachings and had an extraordinary demeanor. He could easily win the favor and admiration of women.
What's more, when she saw Xuanzang for the first time, the queen felt as if the two had known each other in a previous life, and an unforgettable love suddenly emerged in her heart.
The queen's hot eyes made Xuanzang feel uncomfortable all over. He had to suppress the familiar yet unfamiliar feeling in his heart, coughed lightly, and said slowly: "The king..."
The Queen was stunned for a moment, then turned around, looked at Xuanzang affectionately with her beautiful eyes, and said coquettishly: "Holy Monk!"
An unnatural look appeared on Xuanzang's face. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Please also ask Her Majesty the Queen to stamp the customs clearance documents for our masters and disciples!"
At the queen's signal, the maid standing next to her took the customs clearance document from Xuanzang's hand, and then presented it to the queen for preview.
The queen took the customs clearance document and flipped it over. When she saw the seals stamped on it, there was a flash of inexplicable distress in her eyes.
"It must be very hard for the holy monk and his disciples to travel westward. We might as well take a rest in this palace before setting off on the road tomorrow."
The queen's tone was calm, but her words contained a majesty that could not be denied. This is the extraordinary magnanimity of the leader of a country.
Xuanzang understood that this was the queen's delaying strategy, but he did not expose it. Instead, he clasped his hands together, bowed respectfully, and said in a deep voice: "I would like to thank you, my lord, sir."
For some reason, Xuanzang felt an inexplicable pity in his heart when he looked at the queen's red dress and her watery, lively eyes, and was unwilling to refuse any of her requests.
Therefore, Master Xuanzang and his disciples, led by a ritual officer, headed towards a simple and unpretentious palace.
Along the way, Bajie's eyes were darting around, and he looked at Xuanzang with a look full of amusement.
It can be said that it is human nature to like gossip, even immortals are no exception!
You know, Zhu Bajie has been half asleep and half awake all year round, but he still wakes up quickly due to the joy of eating melons.
Zhu Bajie walked slowly to Xuanzang's side and said softly: "Master, I feel like there's something wrong with the way the Queen looks at Master. She seems to have taken a liking to you, Master!"
At the same time, Zhu Bajie still had one sentence he didn't say, which was "Master, there's something wrong with the way you look at the Queen!"
Bajie didn't dare to say the last teasing words, for fear of being punished by his master and being beaten by senior brother and junior brother Sha in a mixed doubles match!
Xuanzang proclaimed the Buddha's name and said to Bajie: "Bajie, don't talk nonsense and ruin the queen's reputation!"
Zhu Bajie pulled Xuanzang over and whispered: "Master, I think this queen is pretty good..."
After Master Xuanzang and his disciples were placed in the main hall, they had dinner, washed up, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
The next day, the grand master who had greeted them before came over, looked at Xuanzang with a smile in his eyes, and congratulated him: "Grandpa Yudi, I am so happy!"
Xuanzang frowned, with a look of doubt in his eyes, and said in surprise: "The master is joking, the poor monk is a monk, where does his joy come from?"
The grand master bowed and said: "This is the land of women in the Western Liang Dynasty. There is no man in the country. Fortunately, my younger brother, grandpa, has come here. In accordance with the king's decree, I have come here to ask for my hand in marriage."
Xuanzang frowned slightly, pronounced the Buddha's name in a long voice, and said seriously: "This poor monk has committed himself to Buddhism, and he must strictly abide by the precepts of Buddhism. I am afraid that he will let down the queen's friendship."
The grand master advised: "My dear brother, think twice. My king had an auspicious dream last night. He dreamed that the golden screen was colorful and the jade mirror was shining brightly. This is a sign of destiny for marriage."
My king would like to use the wealth of the country to marry my younger brother, my grandfather, as my husband. I will sit in the south and be an orphan. My king would like to be the emperor and empress. I have sent a message to my subordinates to act as matchmakers, and I have come here to ask for my hand in marriage!"
When Xuanzang heard this, he lowered his head and said nothing, but his rejection was clearly revealed.
The Grand Master seduced him again: "A real man should not miss it when the time comes. Although there are things like this in the world, it is rare in the world because of the wealth of the country. Please allow me to accept it quickly, so that I can report back to my king!"
Xuanzang spoke resolutely and said: "Grand Master, there is no need to persuade me any more. This poor monk is devoted to the Buddha and has no personal feelings for his children. Please also persuade the Queen to sign the customs clearance document as soon as possible and let me and other masters and disciples go west."
The grand master couldn't help but snorted coldly when he heard this. His beautiful face was as gloomy as water, he waved his long sleeves lightly, and turned around and left angrily.
When he reached the entrance of the main hall, the Grand Master paused, turned around, stared at Xuanzang closely, and said in a cold voice: "Grandpa Yudi, you might as well think about it carefully!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the grand master closed the door of the hall tightly with a bang. Teams of female guards immediately surrounded the entire palace, and actually put Xuanzang's master and disciples under surveillance.
Seeing such a situation, Sun Wukong couldn't help but grinned and said: "Master, how about I take action personally and teach these ordinary people a lesson?"
Xuanzang was horrified when he heard this. He waved his hands and said: "It is better to solve ordinary things by ordinary means. If you rely on your supernatural powers to do whatever you want, how can you obtain the true scripture and save the world!"
Although Wukong was dissatisfied with Xuanzang's pedantry, it was difficult for him to come up with a perfect solution for the time being.
Different from Wukong's irritability, Bajie patted his belly relaxedly and joked: "Master, not to mention that the customs clearance documents are in the hands of the queen, and there are so many guards watching us, it will be difficult for us to leave this time?"
Looking at Xuanzang who was silent, Bajie said quietly: "The queen obviously has a pre-existing relationship with you, master. If you don't stay with the queen again, our brothers and sisters will also go our separate ways..."
As a heavenly immortal god and a direct descendant of Xuanmen, Bajie has a profound understanding of spiritual practice and a little understanding of the way of cause and effect.
When he saw the queen's appearance, he had already guessed that the queen and the master had a deep connection. It would be very difficult to cut off the cause and effect between them!
"Idiot, stop talking nonsense!" Sun Wukong jumped up and appeared next to Zhu Bajie. He reached out and grabbed his ears and twisted them hard.
Zhu Bajie screamed in pain and said urgently: "Master, please take care of Senior Brother, he always bullies me, old pig!"
Xuanzang glanced at Zhu Bajie and said solemnly: "Wukong, you teach Bajie a lesson and don't let him continue talking nonsense..."
Several hours later, the palace door opened again, and a female official walked in and bowed respectfully to Xuanzang.
"Grandpa Yudi, are you satisfied with this place? If you are not satisfied, just tell me and I will solve it one by one for Grandpa Yudi."
Zhu Bajie touched his belly, opened his mouth and said, "Can you give me another table of food? I haven't had lunch today?"
Seeing Zhu Bajie so embarrassed, Sun Wukong's eyes flashed coldly, he grabbed Zhu Bajie's ears and twisted them hard several times, making him cry out in pain again!
However, Xuanzang clasped his hands together and said seriously: "I would like to ask the female official to tell the queen that I would like to ask the queen to sign the customs clearance document as soon as possible so that we can continue our journey to the west."
The female officer smiled slightly and said calmly: "These are not within the scope of my responsibilities. If Grandpa Yudi has no other requirements, I will prepare vegetarian dishes for Master Zhu."
The female officer turned and left. Xuanzang glanced deeply at Sun Wukong and said with a wry smile: "Wukong, what do you think we should do?"
Looking at the sky, Wukong smiled and said: "Master, it's getting late now. Even if we want to go on the road, we have to wait until dawn. We might as well rest in this palace first, and then I will find a way to leave at dawn."
There was no conversation all night, and when the sky was bright and Xuanzang's master and disciples had just finished breakfast, the queen sent a female official to invite Xuanzang and invite him to visit the palace garden with her.
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and said to Xuanzang: "Master, after you see the queen, you directly express your feelings to the queen. I don't think the queen can force anyone to do anything!"
Xuanzang nodded slightly and said seriously: "Okay! I will go to the queen to express my ambition and ask her to let us go west as soon as possible!"
The queen invited Xuanzang, but Xuanzang just tidied up briefly and then followed the female officer to the palace garden.
The palace garden occupies a large area, and is full of exotic flowers and plants, as well as rockeries and rivers. It has the style of a royal garden.
This queen is a very sentimental person, decisive in her actions, and daring to take action. This character is the same as that of the woman in red.
On the pavilion in the center of the lake, the Queen was leaning on the railing, her eyes falling on the lake, where several eye-catching goldfish were swimming in the water.
She holds her chin as white as jade with one hand, her eyes are like stars, and her exquisite figure is perfect.
Even if he is just sitting there quietly like this, he is like a figure in a painting, making people unable to bear to be shocked.
There was a sound of footsteps, and Xuanzang was seen slowly walking towards the Huxin Pavilion behind the female official.
The queen seemed to be alarmed by the footsteps, she slowly stretched her delicate body, turned her head slightly, and her watery eyes suddenly fell on Xuanzang.
A ray of affection flashed from the queen's eyes. The marriage in the past life was so unreasonable, and the love was deep at one glance.
Looking at that exquisite and perfect face, as well as the vague sense of familiarity, Xuanzang felt his heartbeat speed up inexplicably, and a feeling quietly grew in his heart. His reason told him that all this was abnormal.
"Is this a fate destined by fate? Is this the fate between the monk and the queen?"
Xuanzang secretly thought that he was very confident in his determination and thought that he would not be emotional.
At this time, he would have feelings for the queen. This was undoubtedly very abnormal, and Xuanzang couldn't help but think wildly.
But Xuanzang was worthy of being an enlightened holy monk, and he soon cut off his love with his sword and suppressed his affection for the queen deep in his heart.
The queen saw Xuanzang's reaction in her eyes and felt a little happy in her heart. She took a step forward and stretched out her jade hand towards Xuanzang's palm.
Xuanzang instinctively took a step back. He raised his head and glanced at the queen, but he saw endless affection in the queen's eyes.
Xuanzang's heart suddenly hit him, he quickly lowered his head, clasped his hands together, and pronounced the Buddha's name: "Namo Amitabha!"
The queen smiled slightly and said coquettishly: "I heard that the holy monk is the emperor's younger brother, so I will call you my younger brother!"
Regardless of Xuanzang's reaction, the queen turned around and looked at the rippling blue lake, and said softly: "Brother Yu, please take a look, how beautiful is the scenery here?"
Xuanzang didn't know why, but he just felt that the queen seemed to exude a strong attraction, which made his heart move involuntarily!
But Xuanzang is Xuanzang after all, and his concentration is far beyond the limits of what people can imagine.
But even so, he still couldn't bear to disappoint the queen, and said calmly: "The poor monk has seen a lot of scenery along the way, and your majesty's garden can be called a beautiful word!"
The queen smiled slightly, turned around, stared at Xuanzang with her beautiful eyes like stars, and said: "Then, brother Yudi, do you think the scenery here is more beautiful, or am I more beautiful?"
Xuanzang quickly took a step back and distanced himself, as if he wanted to get rid of the queen's charm, but he still replied sincerely: "The scenery is beautiful, and the people are even more beautiful!"
Hearing Xuanzang's words, a moving smile suddenly broke out on the queen's face. With that brilliant smile, Xuanzang felt that his heart was completely broken.
At this moment, a huge Buddhist chant sounded in Xuanzang's ears. This was a Buddhist warning from Jin Chanzi's ten reincarnations.
The Queen's delicate body slowly approached Xuanzang and said softly: "I'm going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. The journey is long and difficult, so if you don't want me to stay in my country, you and I will stay together and fly happily!"
Xuanzang composed himself, with a bit of reluctance in his eyes, and said resolutely: "The Queen is joking, the poor monk has pledged himself to Buddhism. I am afraid that I will let down Her Majesty the Queen. Please return my customs clearance document and release the poor monk."
Go west!"
Regarding Xuanzang's answer, the queen didn't care at all, nor was she annoyed. She just smiled and said: "Let's not talk about studying for Buddhist scriptures today. Brother Yu, look at the bright spring and the pleasant scenery in the imperial garden. I am here."
Would you like to accompany your brother to watch it?"
Without waiting for Xuanzang to answer, the Queen raised her lips slightly and a beautiful song sounded:
"Mandarin ducks and butterflies fly together,
The spring scenery in the garden is intoxicating.
Ask the holy monk quietly,
Is my daughter beautiful?
Is my daughter beautiful?
What do you say about royal power and wealth?
Are you afraid of keeping the rules and regulations?
I only wish it lasts forever,
Stay close to the one I love!
Ai Lian Yi, Ai Lian Yi,
May you always be with me in this life!"
As the singing continued to echo, a strange yet familiar memory emerged in Xuanzang's mind.
The woman in red stubbornly called herself Mrs. Bai, and stubbornly followed him to practice in the deep mountains and forests...
In order not to make him sad, she gave up the path to immortality, threw herself into reincarnation, and sank in the world of mortals...
Even though hundreds of years have passed, her obsession is always thinking of him, hoping to die in his arms...
Even after a lifetime of reincarnation, she always imprinted her feelings deep in her soul. She drank bowl after bowl of Meng Po soup, but she never forgot that love...
Xuanzang's bright and flawless Buddha's heart trembled slightly, and there was a woman's figure faintly imprinted on it.
Just when Xuanzang was in decline, Buddhism's prosperity was slowly declining, which naturally attracted the attention of the two sages of the West.
Xuanzang didn't know all this. Now he just wanted to accompany the queen and make up for his inner guilt!
