Chapter 1016 The request of the king of Baoxiang Kingdom
Since there was no food that needed to be sold here in the Black Pine Forest, Old Tang and his party were naturally happy to be at ease. After a night's rest, they took the Orbital Talisman Car and headed straight to the capital of King Baoxiang.
After arriving in the royal capital, he showed Lao Tang's 'certificate' to the officials who entertained foreign guests in the royal capital, and expressed his hope to obtain the customs clearance jade dish from Baoxiang Kingdom. The news soon spread to the palace and aroused the interest of the king of Baoxiang Kingdom.
Old Tang and his entourage only stayed at the Royal Post Office for less than half a day when a palace official sent a message: The king is inviting!
There is not much to say. Apart from leaving Monk Sha to guard the luggage, Old Tang arrived at the palace with the monkey, old pig and little white dragon. He was warmly received by the king and directly presented the customs clearance jade plate with a much better attitude.
You are as polite as you can be.
It's just that there is a saying that "everyone must ask for something if they are polite." Old Tang was not a fool. The king of Baoxiang Kingdom was so polite, so it goes without saying that he must ask for something.
Obviously, the king of Baoxiang Kingdom had no intention of playing riddles with Old Tang. After being polite, he asked directly: "The Tang Dynasty in the East is no less than tens of millions of miles away from Baoxiang Kingdom. I'm afraid it won't be that easy for Master!"
"Amitabha, it's going well!"
Old Tang wanted to be polite, but no matter how bitter he felt, he couldn't spit it out in front of the King of Baoxiang Kingdom. Wouldn't that be a disgrace to the people of the Tang Dynasty?
"Of course, we met a lot of monsters and ghosts along the way!"
The monkey was not so polite, and said bluntly: "My master has encountered many dangers along the way. Fortunately, I, Sun, are very capable and protected him all the way without causing any harm to him!"
"Humph, I, the old pig, also contributed a lot, right?"
Zhu Bajie didn't miss the opportunity to take credit, and rushed to speak: "I always charge forward, monkey, you can't erase my achievements!"
The corners of Old Tang and Xiao Bailong's mouths twitched. They had seen shameless people before, but they had never seen such shameless people.
That is to say, the two of them were still normal. They didn't want to brag in front of others. Of course, it was not easy to refute the monkey and the old pig's boasting. The atmosphere instantly became a bit awkward.
Unexpectedly, the King of Baoxiang Kingdom's eyes lit up. He looked at the monkey and the old pig without any disgust at all, and said with a smile: "It seems that the master's two disciples must have extraordinary powers and methods!"
"It's natural!"
The old pig continued to talk and said proudly: "I'm not bragging. I don't care about ordinary monsters. Of course, the senior brother is even more powerful!"
After being glared at by the monkey, the guy immediately changed his words and complimented him without any expression. His thick-skinnedness was surprising.
The King of Baoxiang Kingdom was too lazy to investigate whether it was true or not, and simply smiled and said: "It just so happens that I have a difficult problem here, and I want to ask the master's two disciples to solve it. Of course, this is also related to the master's journey to the west!"
"Oh, I wonder what your Majesty wants?"
Old Tang perked up and knew that the drama was coming. Whether he could successfully escape from the Baoxiang King's Palace would depend on whether the subsequent negotiation between the two parties would be good or bad.
The king of Baoxiang Kingdom smiled lightly and said directly: "Continuing westward from Baoxiang Kingdom, you will pass by a place called Pingding Mountain, which is occupied by two powerful monsters!"
Neither Old Tang nor his disciples spoke, they just listened quietly without showing any sign of being anxious. After all, they were all veterans who had experienced many things.
Like an old pig, there is a doubt in his stomach that he has no outlet for: Damn, isn't your prince-in-law very powerful? Could it be that he can't defeat those two monsters in Pingdingshan?
"Master, if you want to travel west smoothly, Pingding Mountain is an unavoidable obstacle!"
The King of Baoxiang Kingdom said directly: "If Master is willing, we can work together to deal with the two monsters in Pingding Mountain. What does Master mean?"
Sure enough!
Old Tang clasped his hands together and asked softly: "I wonder what trouble your majesty has. Do you want to target the monsters in Pingdingshan?"
"I won't hide it from you either!"
The king of Baoxiang Kingdom showed a clear look, obviously not telling his true thoughts. It was basically impossible to join forces with the monk in front of him, so he did not hide it and said in a deep voice: "After Pingding Mountain, there is Wuji.
Originally, our two countries could be directly connected through orbital talisman trains, and mutual commerce would develop even more rapidly by then, but it was suddenly destroyed by two monsters from Pingdingsheng!"
Cutting off someone's financial path is like killing one's parents, not to mention cutting off the financial path of two countries. It would be damned if the senior officials of Baoxiang Kingdom and Wuji Kingdom don't feel resentful.
Although Old Tang was born into a Buddhist family and became famous early on, he did not attach much importance to money matters, but he also knew that this matter would be a huge disadvantage to the people of the two countries.
He also sees the role of railcars in driving economic development.
Whether it is the town where Guanyin Temple is located or where Gao Laozhuang is located, it is all because of the existence of the orbital talisman car that the local business is prosperous and the people are rich. Such a promotion effect is enough.
It was just the alliance of scattered forces of the human race that could achieve such amazing achievements. If countries like the Baoxiang Kingdom and the Wuji Kingdom united, it would play an incredible and huge role in promoting it.
As a member of the human race, no matter how you think about it, this is a good thing.
Also, the king of Baoxiang Kingdom will not lie with lies. If Pingding Mountain is really a must-pass on the way west, the chance of running into those two monsters is more than 70%.
Even if Old Tang doesn't want to take the initiative to provoke him, it doesn't mean that the two monsters from Pingdingshan won't cause trouble for him.
Although the rumor that eating Tang Monk's meat can lead to immortality has not spread very much due to the rapid development of human race along the way, it has also spread to the ears of many monsters. Who knows whether these guys will want to do something because of this, especially
When Old Tang was about to pass by their location?
"Wukong, Bajie, what do you think?"
After thinking about this clearly, Old Tang looked at Monkey and Old Pig. These two were the main force in the attack. Xiao Bailong and Sha Monk were just soy sauce. If these two refused to actively cooperate, he would have agreed to Baoxiang.
Even the joint request of the king of the country cannot be fulfilled.
"Since we have to face those two monsters from Pingdingshan sooner or later, there's nothing to say. Just kill them. There's no need to talk nonsense!"
The monkey is as stubborn as ever. Although he does not try his best to deal with powerful monsters every time, it does not mean that he is afraid of trouble.
"This matter needs to be thought over carefully!"
The old pig was not so active. He ignored the eager eyes of the king of Baoxiang Kingdom and said directly: "If you don't say anything else, you must first let us know who the two monsters in Pingdingshan are and what their abilities are, right?"
After finishing speaking, he continued without waiting for others to speak: "Also, since His Majesty said it was a joint operation, we must first know the strength of the personnel dispatched by Baoxiang Kingdom, right?"
"That's right, that's right. What the master, a great disciple, said is the truth!"
The King of Baoxiang Kingdom nodded repeatedly, obviously very satisfied with Old Zhu's "calm and steady" attitude. He smiled and said to Old Tang: "I think when the master passed by the black pine forest, he should have heard that the king's consort, this time with
When the masters join forces to deal with the monsters in Pingdingshan, he will represent Baoxiang Kingdom!"
The king of Baoxiang Kingdom said this very naturally, as if he really regarded the yellow-robed monster as his consort. He was not polite at all. It was obvious that he had not asked the yellow-robed monster for his opinion before.
The old pig secretly cursed in his heart. In fact, he had vaguely guessed the identity of the yellow-robed monster. He knew that he was either a good-tempered guy, or he didn't know how the king of Baoxiang Kingdom could be so confident?
"As for the direct lineage of the two monsters in Pingdingshan, I don't know much here, but I know a little bit!"
The King of Baoxiang Kingdom explained: "Those two monsters call themselves the Golden Horned King and the Silver Horned King. Their own strength is not very good. I heard from my consort that they are powerful because of the magic weapon in their hands. If they do not do well, they may capsize in the gutter!"
"
Having said this, he paused and smiled: "It is very dangerous to go alone, but if there are many people going there, it is not impossible to take down those two monsters as long as they are strong enough!"
"Your Majesty, can your Majesty allow our master and apprentice to discuss this matter carefully?"
Old Tang smiled and said: "It was so sudden that I felt unsure..."
There is no need to explain the following words too clearly. Everyone knows the meaning in their hearts, that is, the king of Baoxiang Kingdom came to make such a sudden attack. It would be strange if they dared to agree directly. I am afraid that the king of Baoxiang Kingdom himself would not dare to
Believe it.
Sure enough, the King of Baoxiang Kingdom was very generous in letting Old Tang's master and apprentice leave without any intention of embarrassment. He showed a posture of defeating them, but it made Old Tang feel uneasy and he did not dare to neglect at all.
After returning to the inn, Old Tang directly ordered the monkey to go and investigate the situation. Is it as the king of Baoxiang Kingdom said, that on the way west, he must pass through Pingding Mountain, and there is also the situation on the other side of Pingding Mountain. It is best to find out clearly, so as not to worry about it.
When we joined forces with the Baoxiang Kingdom, we suffered a hidden loss due to insufficient intelligence.
Lao Sun agreed and immediately turned into light and walked away without missing a moment. He was really so eager to flirt with her.
Old Tang was relieved, but Old Zhu was not.
He knew the monkey's character very well, so he might be arrogant and do something stupid, just like what he did at Wuzhuang Temple in Wanshou Mountain.
He originally wanted to follow behind and observe secretly, but the monkey's flying speed was too fast. By the time he reacted, he didn't know where he had flown, so he had no choice but to give up.
The monkey was indeed a trouble-making ancestor. He quickly arrived at Pingdingshan. After a pretentious inspection, he found that Pingdingshan was indeed the only way to go west. Unless Old Tang was willing to make a big detour and walk millions of miles more to get around it,
Gotta get through.
Thinking about it, there is absolutely no way that Old Tang would agree to take a detour. Who knows if he will run into other powerful monsters during the journey?
When the monkey arrived at Pingding Mountain, he happened to see King Silver Horn shouting "Wuheliu" to train his little demons. It moved its heart and quietly lowered its cloud head. When it got closer, it suddenly raised its stick and beat it. It shouted: "Death to the monster!"
A stick directly cut the Silver Horn King into two pieces, and he couldn't die any more...
