547: Return to Baoxiang Kingdom
Master... actually, back then, you were very heartbroken, right!
The Master and Disciple left White Tiger Ridge, and Wu Zhen suddenly asked Tang Ku.
Yes, that's right!
Tang Ku smiled, At that time, I was a mere mortal. Seeing Wukong kill the innocent, my 'Holy Mother' heart exploded. I intended to admonish him, but this guy was so fierce that he wouldn't listen to any kind words. In order not to lose Face, I acted on impulse and drove him away. In fact, I regretted it the moment I said those heartless words. It was truly heartbreaking... Sigh, although Wukong is sharp-tongued, he has always been loyal. Later, when I thought about what I had done, I wanted to slap myself twice...
Hey, I heard that Senior Brother later encountered a Six-Eared Macaque. He must have been very powerful, right... Wu Zhen exclaimed, Didn't you drive him away again back then?
That was the Six-Eared Macaque's scheme to drive a wedge between us! His Spell power is very strong, and he has the ability to investigate information about all things in heaven and earth, so he knows us very well... Hm, right, the body your Senior Brother is using now is the body of the Six-Eared Macaque... Of course, it also contains some other Materials, which shouldn't be revealed to outsiders!
Tang Ku explained.
The Master and Disciple continued forward and suddenly saw a city ahead. Although the characters on the city were a bit blurry, it was a place that Tang Ku... or rather, Tang Sanzang, had once experienced, so he recognized it at a glance as the Baoxiang Kingdom where he subdued the Yellow-Robed Monster.
Back then, when Kui Mulang came to the Lower Realm, he kidnapped the Baoxiang Kingdom Princess here. It was also because of the Yellow-Robed Monster that the Master and Disciple reconciled.
Things remain, but people have changed...
These four words surfaced in his mind. Tang Ku frowned slightly, then smoothed his brow, However, at least those guys didn't seize the political power here. Come to think of it, thanks to the Baoxiang Kingdom Princess back then, I didn't become food in Kui Mulang's mouth.
As he spoke, Tang Ku briefly told Wu Zhen the story of the Yellow-Robed Monster. Wu Zhen found it very funny and said, Senior Brother Wu Neng's brain is still quite useful at critical moments!
Don't be fooled by your Senior Brother's silly appearance. This guy is very shrewd. Or rather, in the entire scripture-seeking team, the one with true great wisdom is actually him!
Tang Ku shook his head and said, Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, protecting oneself—although sometimes a bit selfish, he can always unexpectedly display his talent... Speaking of which, when he leads you in battle, leading you to solve those unsolvable problems, don't you feel very at ease?
Wu Zhen was thoughtful, then exclaimed, It really is! Although he often can't completely solve the problems, we feel inexplicably at ease when he is there. And after trouble arises, he can calmly arrange everything in an orderly manner. Even if he is waiting for you to come back to clean up the mess, he can handle the miscellaneous matters cleanly, leaving only the key problems for you to solve!
His heart is like a mirror, his Wisdom Eye is like a torch. Although Wu Neng has a mortal heart, his Dao Heart and will are quite firm. Keeping the precepts and Undergoing Tribulation is his destiny. After the Five Spices and Three Disgusts, what remains is his protective heart...
Tang Ku said, He truly treats you all as family, which is why he takes on everything himself!
Wu Zhen nodded thoughtfully. Suddenly, she saw two pairs of soldiers run out from the imperial city, lining up on both sides. Immediately, a royal carriage hurried out from the city. This carriage was pulled by eight tall horses, and on it sat a person—it was none other than the long-unseen Baoxiang Kingdom Princess.
Seeing that the Master and Disciple were right in front of the road, the Princess ordered the driver to stop. She actually got off the carriage herself and bowed to Tang Ku, Disciple Baoxiang Kingdom Princess Baihuaxiu pays respects to the Holy Monk. It has been a long time, how have you been, Holy Monk?
Tang Ku supported her with his left hand in a gesture and laughed, Princess, there is no need for such formalities. This Poor Monk did not intend to disturb you with this visit. I do not know who leaked the news, causing the Princess to come out to greet me personally. It is truly a sin, a sin!
The Princess stood up and smiled, The Holy Monk is unaware, but a Daoist has appeared in my city who can point out the past and future and is skilled in divining Yin and Yang and mundane affairs. Three days ago, my father the King asked for a divination, and he said that today a Holy Monk would come from the East... I guessed it must be the Holy Monk returning, so I came to greet you personally!
Hehe, this Daoist is indeed strange. I really must meet him...
Tang Ku laughed, Wu Zhen, let's go. Let's go and meet this expert...
Wu Zhen was full of doubts, but she would listen to whatever Tang Ku said. It's just that the way the Baoxiang Kingdom Princess looked at Master... was just as annoying as that Queen of the Daughters Country!
The Baoxiang Kingdom Princess glanced at Wu Zhen, her eyes also full of confusion. But Tang Ku saw her thoughts and couldn't help but smile, My Disciples are all in Chang'an City and haven't followed me. This is my newly accepted Disciple, Dharma name Wu Zhen... She is a woman, but she has achieved success in cultivation and is a thorough Buddhist Disciple!
Princess Baihuaxiu blushed and said softly, A monk and a nun—is it convenient for you to travel on the road, Holy Monk?
Princess, those words are wrong!
Wu Zhen suddenly put her hands together and said sternly, Whether it is a man and a woman, or a monk and a nun, these are all appearances in the eyes. If one is entangled and attached to this, one is attached to appearances. Without appearance and without self, it is a state of mind. Not being constrained by external appearances is how one attains the great Dao. My Master and I have traveled through countless mountains, rivers, and cities, and there is no inconvenience!
Princess Baihuaxiu could not help but be filled with respect, So the Holy Monk's Disciple is also a person of great virtue. It was my slip of the tongue...
The Princess took them into the city. Tang Ku found that the streets were much more prosperous than before, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Tang Ku said in a deep voice, That fortune-telling Daoist is quite capable. He actually made your Baoxiang Kingdom even more prosperous!
The Princess smiled, The Holy Monk actually knows this is the Daoist's credit? Well, in fact, it is indeed so. Although he does not have those dazzling Spells, he can provide guidance for our country and has made great achievements in Feng Shui positioning. Since we rebuilt the streets and arranged the houses and buildings according to his Feng Shui layout, our country has become more and more prosperous. Caravans passing through here can almost make a big profit, so the popularity is much more prosperous than in the past!
But this person is very strange. He does not seek fame or profit. He is content to divine in a tiled hut, three divinations a day, no more. My father the King is very shrewd; he buys the first divination every day for one tael of silver, and that is how we have today's development!
Tang Ku frowned slightly, then calmly looked around with his Spiritual Awareness Eye. Suddenly, he discovered that not far away in the street, a point of purple Qi was constantly rising. He stopped following the Princess and said to Wu Zhen, Come with me...
As he spoke, he moved his body, flew onto the roof, and flew toward the direction of the purple Qi.
