In the hotel, Bajie was about to go to the kitchen to cook, but was grabbed by Xue Tianqing.
"Idiot, since Baoxiang Kingdom treats us like honored guests and the food will be delivered to us, why do you still need to do it?"
Bajie said "Oh": "That's true, but senior brother, although I can't say I'm smart, I'm not stupid either. Why do you often call me a fool? And you've called me more and more frequently recently."
Xue Tianqing coughed dryly: "Doesn't it sound friendly to call her like that?"
Bajie rolled his eyes: "Master has been gone for a long time, why hasn't he come back yet?"
Xue Tianqing rolled her eyes: "Come back? Master may not be able to come back tonight."
Bajie wanted to ask why, but he heard a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw Guanyi coming to deliver vegetarian rice.
Looking at the table full of food, Bajie said, "How can one person eat so much?"
Xue Tianqing smiled and said: "If you can't finish it, eat it slowly. You can eat it as long as you want tonight."
Bajie looked at Xue Tianqing and frowned: "Senior brother, why do I feel that there is something different about you these past two days?"
Xue Tianqing bared her teeth: "You're talking silly again, what's wrong with me? Eat quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."
"Don't wait for Master?"
"Master's food is much better than here, why do you still have to wait?"
What Xue Tianqing said was absolutely correct. In the side hall of the palace, a large table of vegetarian food was placed there, and there were servants and maids waiting beside it.
Seeing that Sanzang was motionless, the waiter on the side said: "My lord, it is not to your liking? So I will ask the imperial chef to make another table."
Sanzang waved his hand and said, "Please wait for the food. May I ask the waiter, when will Your Majesty let me go back to the post?"
"My lord, didn't His Majesty just say that the customs will be changed tomorrow morning, and then you can continue your journey westward."
"I am a traveling monk. I cannot stand this splendor and wealth. I hope the attendant will let me out of the palace."
Before the chamberlain could continue to speak, a voice sounded: "Elder, isn't this place better than Guanyi?"
Sanzang was stunned when he heard this, because the voice was so familiar.
Sure enough, the next moment, the woman they rescued appeared at the door.
Signaling everyone to leave first, the woman saluted and said, "I asked the elders to forgive me for not revealing my true identity."
Sanzang asked in confusion: "Who is the donor?"
The woman said: "I am Yuyao, the princess of Baoxiang Kingdom. I was kidnapped by a monster when I was hunting with my father. I was lucky enough to escape. Finally, I met an elder who rescued me from the tiger's mouth."
Before Sanzang could speak, the princess continued: "I originally wanted to tell the truth, but I was afraid that the elder would have evil thoughts, so I lied and pretended to be an ordinary person. Only now do I understand that it is a villain's heart to judge a gentleman's heart."
Sanzang smiled and said: "When you are alone outside, you have to be careful about everything, not to mention that the princess had just escaped from danger. Now that the princess has returned to the palace, there is no more danger. Please urge your majesty to change the customs as soon as possible and let the poor monk go west."
Princess Yuyao looked at the table full of food and frowned: "Elder, what's on your mind?"
Seeing Sanzang shaking his head, the princess sat down next to him and said, "In that case, I will accompany the elder to eat with you."
While he was talking, a hand was placed on Sanzang's shoulder intentionally or unintentionally.
Sanzang hurriedly stood up and ran away: "Princess, the monks and apprentices are still waiting at the post. If I don't come back, they don't know how long they will wait."
The princess smiled and said: "Don't worry, elder. I have sent someone to inform the two disciples that you will stay in the palace tonight. Elder, rest assured to eat and rest early later. You can change the customs tomorrow."
Sanzang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Thank you princess."
Princess Yuyao covered her mouth with a smile, then told Sanzang to have a good rest, and then left the side hall.
Not long after leaving, King Baoxiang came out from the side and said, "My son, which song are you singing? Since you want to get married tomorrow, why don't you mention this to him?"
Princess Yuyao smiled: "Father, don't worry, Tang Sanzang will definitely become your son-in-law riding a dragon, but you can't be too hasty."
Then she walked up to the king and whispered: "Father, remove all the guards from the side hall tonight. Tomorrow, I will definitely ask Tang Sanzang to agree to this marriage."
King Baoxiang was shocked when he heard this: "My son can't!"
But when he saw tears filling Princess Yuyao's eyes again, he finally stamped his foot: "Leave it to you!"
Princess Yuyao's words before leaving made Sanzang feel much relieved, so after dinner, he ordered his attendants to remove the remaining seats and went to bed to rest.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, everything in Baoxiang Kingdom was completely silent.
The same is true for the side halls of the palace. Except for the lanterns swaying in the wind at the door, there is no movement.
Suddenly, a figure flashed in the corner, it was Princess Yuyao.
I saw her approaching the side hall softly and came to the room where Sanzang was resting.
Then he poked a hole in the window paper with his hands, took out a bamboo tube from his sleeve, and then blew the powder in the bamboo tube into the room through the hole.
After a while, Yuyao called out "Holy Monk" several times, but there was no movement in the room.
Yuyao smiled softly, then waved to the outside of the palace, and a tall man fell from the sky.
The man walked a few steps and came to Princess Yuyao: "I've got you, Madam."
The princess smiled softly: "If this were not the case, how could we separate Tang Sanzang from his disciple. Husband, we left overnight, and Sun Wukong couldn't find us even if he wanted to."
The man nodded when he heard the words, pushed open the door, grabbed Sanzang's sleeping space on the bed, and lifted him up.
Then he picked up Princess Yuyao and said, "When you become immortal, you and I will find a pure place to live happily."
After speaking, it turned into a gust of wind, rising into the sky and heading due south.
At the same time, Xue Tianqing in the pavilion post also followed behind with auspicious clouds, leaving Bajie still sleeping.
It wasn't until daybreak that the man stopped in front of a big mountain.
After landing on a flat land halfway up the mountain, the man gently put down Princess Yuyao and threw Sanzang on the ground: "Young men, carry Tang Sanzang into the cave and wash it clean, and prepare to eat Tang Monk's meat."
As soon as he finished speaking, a door opened on the stone wall not far away, and dozens of little demons rushed out.
Seeing Sanzang being carried into the cave, the man supported Princess Yuyao and sat on the bluestone beside him: "I am a monster. Mrs. Meng never gave up and promised me with my body, but I got nothing in return. Now I have captured Tang Sanzang and achieved success with the princess." Only when I am immortal can I feel a little more at ease."
Princess Yuyao chuckled and said: "Why are you and I talking about this? We have been taken care of by my husband this year, so my family can be so happy. But husband, my family has never eaten human flesh, and I always find it hard to swallow."
The man laughed loudly: "Madam, this meat tastes the same as long as you eat it in your mouth. I used to catch some for the common people to enjoy, but I stopped because my wife didn't like it."
Princess Yuyao nodded: "In order to stay with my husband forever, don't forget to break the vow once. What if you fall into hell forever? It's just that my husband needs to act early to avoid long nights and dreams."
The man smiled: "Don't worry, madam, now that Sun Wukong has been thrown away, no matter how hard he looks for him, he will never think that Tang Sanzang is thousands of miles away. We will go back to the cave to rest first, and when the boys clean up Tang Monk, we will disembowel him and bleed him." , enjoy together.”
After speaking, he helped Princess Yuyao up and said, "Madam has just given birth to a baby. She is still weak. It is better to go back and rest early."
After the man and the princess entered the cave, Xue Tianqing, who had hidden herself here, said in surprise: "The love between a human and a demon is a scene that can only be found in movies."
After saying that, he walked straight through the stone wall and entered the cave.
I originally thought that the cave here was no different from the residence of other monsters, but when I got inside it was snowy and clear, I realized that it was completely different.
Although the cave in front is rough, the back is like a paradise.
There are not only flowers and grass, but also ponds, rockeries, pavilions and pavilions.
Except for the lack of sunlight, its splendor is even better than that of Baoxiang King Palace.
Seeing this, Xue Tianqing nodded secretly: No wonder the princess is so determined to please the princess, this monster has gone to great lengths to please her.
After walking around in a circle, Xue Tianqing turned to the cave in front, and finally found Tang Sanzang, who had been stripped naked but still unconscious in a small ear hole.
At this time, Sanzang was placed in a large bucket. The water in the bucket was steaming, and several little demons were working hard to wash him.
I thought the man would come out soon, but until Sanzang was fished out of the barrel, he was still not seen.
Confused, Xue Tianqing followed the path he had just taken to the cave at the back, heading towards the largest attic.
But before he could reach downstairs, he suddenly heard a baby crying, followed by a man laughing, including Princess Yuyao's gentle reproach.
After begging for mercy in a coaxing tone, the man said: "Madam, Tang Sanzang must have been washed. I will order the boys to kill him first and enjoy them together later."
After saying that, he opened the door and went downstairs, striding forward.
When he came to the hall and sat down on the tiger-skin chair, the man shouted: "Boys, how is Tang Sanzang's washing?"
A little demon ran up to the man and said, "King Qi, it has been washed clean and can be slaughtered at any time."
The man sighed: "Originally, Tang Monk should have been locked up for a few days, and then he could enjoy it after his belly was clean. But now that Sun Wukong is in Baoxiang Kingdom, something unexpected might happen, so it is better to eat it directly."
The little demon smiled: "Your Majesty, I heard that eating a piece of Tang Monk meat can make you immortal. Is it true or not?"
The man laughed: "Of course it is true. You have never eaten human flesh since Madam came here. Today I convinced Madam that we can enjoy Tang Monk's meat together and live forever together."
The little demon was overjoyed when he heard this: "In that case, I will kill Tang Monk and make it braised for the king to enjoy."
The man waved his hand: "No, Tang Sanzang is the first person in ancient times. Today, the king wants to do it himself to see how he is different from other mortals. Go, set up the table and carry Tang Sanzang here. , I want to kill it myself.”
By the time Tang Sanzang, who was unaware of his identity, was carried to the man, the other little demons had already set up the table, and at the same time, the pots and pans were placed in a circle on the floor.
The man took out a dagger from his waist, came to Sanzang in two steps, and then stabbed him in the chest.
