Seeing Zhao Yun asking questions one after another, Qingyue felt a little confused. Just when she was thinking about how to answer, she heard someone outside shouting: "Is Fairy Qingyue here? The Queen Mother's Fairy in Orange has something to see me."
When Qingyue opened the door, the orange-clothed fairy said bluntly that someone had broken through the barrier and entered the royal city without even entering the room. The meaning of her words was directed at Xue Tianqing.
In response to the orange-clothed fairy's words, Qingyue just shrugged her shoulders and said she had no comment, because she didn't know the whereabouts of Xue Tianqing.
She even said that she would try not to mention the name Sun Wukong in front of her in the future.
Because of this person, he has received too much criticism.
The orange-clothed fairy was speechless for a long time, and finally said: "I just came to inform the fairy that someone has broken into the royal city. You must be careful these days."
Qingyue expressed her gratitude for this and asked the orange-clothed fairy to tell Jiutian Xuannv that they only need to protect the royal city and don't have to worry about the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The implication is that with him in charge, the Prime Minister's Mansion will be safe.
Seeing that Qingyue did not accept the move, the orange-clothed fairy could only tell the truth, saying that Jiutian Xuannv had left the royal city now, and she needed someone to help protect the Xiliang Girl Kingdom.
Qingyue smiled secretly when she heard this, but Zhao Yun looked frightened, saying that he was afraid of being harmed by traitors when he lived alone in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The fairy in orange knew that this was the two's method, but she had no choice but to grit her teeth and finally agreed to live in the palace with Zhao Yun.
Qingyue asked the orange-clad fairy to go back first, saying that she and Zhao Yun could enter the palace after packing up.
After the fairy in orange left, Zhao Yun looked at Zhao Yun with confusion: "Sister, are you familiar with Sun Wukong?"
Qingyue shook her head: "I'm not familiar with him, I just know him."
"Isn't that right? Just now you said that you know his bones even if you peeled off his skin. Just now you said that because he has been criticized so much, how could you not be familiar with him?"
Qingyue smiled: "Haven't you ever heard that things must reverse themselves when they reach their extremes? If they are overcooked, they will become unripe."
"Then you are very familiar with him, to what extent?"
"I am his unmarried wife."
Looking at Zhao Yun with wide eyes, Qingyue shushed: "Don't tell anyone, you are the first to know."
"How many years have you known each other?"
"More than forty years, less than fifty years."
Zhao Yun's eyes flashed with a hint of darkness when he heard this, but he immediately returned to his former glory: "Congratulations to my sister, you are a real couple of gods and gods. It makes people feel envious just thinking about it."
Qingyue patted Zhao Yun's hand: "If you can achieve Zhengguo in the future, you will also have your own immortal spouse."
Zhao Yun shook his head: "Isn't it said that cultivators cannot get married? How can my sister become a partner with him?"
"That's Buddhism. There are no such rules in Taoism. Don't worry, sister, as long as you can achieve righteousness, you will have your choice of good men in the world."
Zhao Yun bowed deeply to Qingyue: "Thank you sister for your kind words."
Seeing Zhao Yun go back to his room to pack his things, Qingyue murmured: "Does this count as digging a hole for myself?"
After leaving Xiliang Women's Kingdom, Jiutian Xuannv never turned around for a long time.
In addition, Zhao Yun moved into the palace, giving Long Wanting an extra helper, and with Qingyue supporting them from behind, Long Wanting, who had been almost completely ignored, gradually regained the royal power.
However, these are all power struggles in the Xiliang Women's Kingdom and have nothing to do with Xue Tianqing and others who have already embarked on the journey to the west.
At this time, Master Sanzang and his disciples were already thousands of miles away from the Xiliang Women's Kingdom. Xue Tianqing also put aside her worries and followed everyone forward.
In the blink of an eye, summer turns to autumn again, and everything along the road becomes desolate.
Just as Sanzang lamented that time was passing by, he felt that something was wrong with the road ahead.
The increasingly thick autumn colors already make people feel a bit chilly, but why does the weather seem to be getting hotter and hotter?
At first, everyone didn't take it seriously, but when Wutian was so hot that he started to take off his clothes, Xue Tianqing finally understood the reason - the Flame Mountain has arrived!
Sure enough, after walking forward for another half day, I saw that the west was red, and the sky was like the bottom of a red-hot pot.
Looking at the unusually weird sky, Sanzang frowned and said, "Wukong, what is ahead and why is it like this?"
Xue Tianqing smiled: "Master, no matter where we are, we are the only places we must pass on the westward journey. But it seems that we may have to go through a lot of trouble this time, otherwise we will not be able to pass the Flame Mountain."
Sha Seng, who was walking beside Xue Tianqing, was stunned: "Senior brother, do you know about the Flame Mountain?"
Xue Tianqing asked in surprise: "Is there anything strange?"
After speaking, he looked at Sha Monk thoughtfully and said, "I almost forgot that your body is a mountain. Do you know where this place is?"
Sha Monk shook his head: "The Flame Mountain is just a mountain peak without any spirituality. This mountain is different from other mountains in the world. It was formed from the liver fire of Pangu Mountain and has been burning since the beginning of the world. The fire on the mountain is not an extraordinary fire, but a human fire. Once burned by the Sun Fire, the body and soul will turn into nothingness."
Xue Tianqing touched her chin: "Who did you listen to?"
Sha Seng smiled: "Everything in the world has spirit, but some have developed spiritual wisdom and become living beings. But most of them only have a trace of spirituality. Although they cannot become living beings, they still have their own souls. At the beginning, I was the queen. It’s a stubborn stone with spirituality.”
Since becoming a disciple, Sha Seng has followed everyone more and protected Tripitaka together, and he has never said such profound words.
Today's words not only shocked Xue Tianqing, Sanzang and others were also extremely surprised: "Wu Jing, are you saying that everything in the world has a spirit? Mountains, rivers, everything?"
Sha Monk nodded: "Master, the Three Realms were originally transformed by the Great God Pangu, so in the end all living beings and everything in the Three Realms are the incarnations of Pangu. Since they are the incarnations of the Great God Pangu, do you think they have spirits or no spirits?"
While Xue Tianqing, Sanzang and others were deep in thought, Bajie said impatiently: "Junior brother, don't talk about these useless things, tell me how to get through the Flame Mountain."
Sha Seng shook his head: "There is no way."
Bajie rolled his eyes: "According to this, we should return to Datang directly?"
Sha Monk smiled: "Of course not. Although the Flame Mountain cannot be crossed directly, we can go around it. There are many roads to the west. We are only taking the shortest road now. Since this road is impassable, can't we take a long way around? As long as we can reach Lingshan, why not walk?"
Xue Tianqing shook his head: "No, if we go around the Flame Mountain, it means that we have bowed to the hardships on the road. If this is the case, how can we have the face to ask for the true scriptures even when we get to the West?"
Originally Xue Tianqing thought that this statement would be recognized by Sanzang, but unexpectedly he shook his head and said: "I think Wujing is right. We are going to Lingshan for the true scripture. As long as we can meet the Buddha and obtain the true scripture, the path we take will not matter. It doesn’t matter, Buddha never asked us to follow a dead road to Lingshan.”
