Chapter 761: Lotus Lantern + Journey to the West - Tang Monk's Flesh 21
After finally defeating Red Boy, Tang Sanzang and his disciples had a battle with three national masters in Chechi Kingdom - Tiger-Power Immortal, Deer-Power Immortal and Sheep-Power Immortal. Due to the absence of Guanyin's protection and the powerful Sun Wukong, although Zhu Bajie and his disciples won the battle in the end, a lot of time was wasted in the process.
Even though Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing successfully beat the Tiger-Li Immortal, Deer-Li Immortal, and Sheep-Li Immortal back to their original forms and released them back into the mountains, they still suffered a lot of injuries in the process. Zhu Bajie did not take the journey to the West as seriously as Sun Wukong did. Because of his injuries, he refused to leave and insisted on staying in Chechi Kingdom to heal his wounds before setting off again.
Tang Sanzang tried to persuade Zhu Bajie that the journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures was a tough job and that he should not indulge in pleasure. But Zhu Bajie did not listen to him. Seeing that he could not persuade Zhu Bajie, Tang Sanzang suddenly felt a little nostalgic for his eldest disciple Sun Wukong for some reason.
"Although Wukong has a cold and impatient personality, he takes me, his master, and the journey to obtain the scriptures very seriously. If Wukong were still here, I'm sure it wouldn't have taken so long this time..."
Tang Sanzang's face was full of regret, but unfortunately Zhu Bajie, who could see through his thoughts, didn't care at all and even sneered. However, Sha Wujing, who cared a little, didn't understand what he was thinking at all.
In a cave hidden deep in the Flower-Fruit Mountain, Sun Wukong, who was practicing with his eyes closed, suddenly felt a chill all over his body for some unknown reason. He shivered violently, interrupting his practice.
"Why does this feeling seem so strange? Could someone be plotting against me behind my back? No, I have to go out and take a look!" With a thought in mind, Sun Wukong stopped practicing, left the cave and went out to find the old monkey on the Flower-Fruit Mountain to ask about the latest news.
"Old monkey, old monkey!"
"My king, you are out of seclusion!"
"Old Monkey, I want to ask you, has there been any news about me in the outside world recently?"
"Reporting to the king, there has been no news about the king during this period. However, when the king was in seclusion, a pig demon with long ears and a big mouth came to Huaguo Mountain and said he wanted to see you. He did not come alone, but was accompanied by someone..."
"It looks like it's Guanyin Bodhisattva!" Although the old monkey had not seen Zhu Bajie and Guanyin in person, he helped manage the entire Flower-Fruit Mountain, so there was almost nothing he didn't know about the news of Flower-Fruit Mountain.
After hearing the old monkey's reply, Sun Wukong immediately knew that the two people the old monkey was talking about were Zhu Bajie and Guanyin. He rolled his eyes and sneered, "I'm afraid that monk was captured by some monster again, so he remembered to look for me!"
Sun Wukong guessed that Guanyin must be trying to persuade him to go back and work as a slave for the monk and provide him with protection. Although he was not stupid and would definitely not agree, Sun Wukong couldn't help but be happy that he had avoided this trouble by seclusion.
"Okay, okay, I understand what you said." Sun Wukong thought for a while and then asked, "Besides these two people, are there any other people who come to Huaguo Mountain to look for me?"
"Besides those two people, I, the old monkey, seem to have heard from the little monkeys that they saw Miss Ruyi and the Three Holy Mothers in Huaguo Mountain!"
"Sister Ruyi has returned to Huaguo Mountain?!" Sun Wukong was not surprised that Ruyi came to Huaguo Mountain, but he was surprised to think of the Third Holy Mother. "Why did the Third Holy Mother come with her?"
The old monkey didn't know how to answer Sun Wukong's questions. Fortunately, Sun Wukong didn't expect to get an answer from the old monkey. He just asked casually and then sent a message to start looking for Ruyi.
"Ruyi sister, Ruyi sister, where are you playing now?"
"Great Sage, are you out? I'm just watching the fun right now, so I won't talk to you anymore!"
At this time, Ruyi and Yang Chan were hiding in the dark to watch the fun. After receiving the message from Sun Wukong, he just answered a few words casually and ended it. This made Sun Wukong, who also liked to watch the fun, very excited to see the fun in Ruyi's words. However, when he sent a message to Ruyi again to ask, he found that Ruyi ignored him.
"Hiss, where on earth is sister Ruyi watching the fun? It really makes me, old Sun, anxious. You didn't even give me a place so that I could go over and take a look at the fun!" On the Flower-Fruit Mountain side, Sun Wukong was so anxious that he was either scratching his head or grabbing his hands. On the Kingdom of Women side, Ruyi and the others were watching the fun - Tang Sanzang and his two disciples had already drunk the water from the Mother and Child River and their bellies were bulging.
"Ah, Bajie, Wujing, my stomach suddenly hurts. Come on, come and see what's wrong!"
"Master, Master, I can't take it. My stomach hurts too!" Zhu Bajie had a big stomach to begin with, and after drinking the water from the Zi Mu River, his stomach hurt less than that of Tang Sanzang and Sha Wujing. After hearing Tang Sanzang's call, Zhu Bajie was about to get up to check on Tang Sanzang when he suddenly felt a pain in his stomach.
"Brother, Master, my belly is bloating too!" Sha Wujing also realized something was wrong and started shouting. In the end, the little white dragon, the only one who did not drink the water from the Zimu River, regained his human form, carried the three people with big bellies from the Zimu River to the shore, and then went to ask the people on the riverside about the situation.
"Madam, may I ask which country's border this is? Why did my master and two brothers become like this?"
After seeing the man Xiaobailong, the old lady's eyes were full of curiosity and scrutiny, which made Xiaobailong feel inexplicably nervous. Fortunately, the old lady looked at him and finally kindly answered the questions asked by Xiaobailong.
After learning from the old lady that this was the Land of Daughters and that this river was the most famous Mother and Child River in the Land of Daughters, Little White Dragon was stunned. As a member of the dragon clan, Little White Dragon had heard of the Mother and Child River. After realizing that Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing were pregnant because they drank the water of the Mother and Child River, he immediately asked the old lady, "Can you tell me what should I do with my master and my two brothers now?"
"Alas, in the past, with the situation of your master and senior brother, they could have asked the queen for a bowl of abortion spring to abort the fetus in the belly. But now..." The old lady shook her head when she said this and refused to say anything more.
In the end, Xiaobailong did not give up. After asking many times, he learned from the old lady that the Luotai Spring was occupied by Ruyi Zhenxian. After Xiaobailong found out the situation, he told the pregnant Tang Sanzang and the other two the news he had found out.
After Xiaobailong left, the kind-hearted lady turned back into Ruyi's appearance. Yang Chan, who was hiding nearby, came out and asked Ruyi curiously why she did this.
Ruyi smiled and said, "I want to see how Tang Sanzang and his companions can get the abortion spring water without Sun Wukong's help. If they can't get it, will they give birth to the baby in their belly?"
In the original plot, several people also drank the water from the Zimu River and became pregnant, but only Tang Sanzang, after learning about the situation, said the first thing to do was to abort the child. This was such "mercy" that Ruyi wanted to see if Tang Sanzang could succeed in this life without the help of Sun Wukong.
