Chapter 29

"This is a long story.

In our Tongtian River, there used to be a king of Synesthesia. "The head of the family, Chen Taigong, recalled with a face full of vicissitudes.

"This king of Synesthesia was very resourceful.

He could summon the wind and rain.

The reason why our Chen family village is so rich is all thanks to his rain. "His expression was pained.

It was as if he had thought of something bad.

Wukong noticed that something was wrong with his expression.

He asked, "In that case, why is Taigong not satisfied?"

Chen Taigong held his forehead with his hand, unwilling to face it. "There is a price to pay for benefits.

Especially when it comes to dealing with demons … "

Xuanzang's heart tightened. "Is he going to eat people?"

Chen Taigong waved his hand. "He doesn't eat people.

He goes ashore every ten days.

We make roast lamb, roast pig, and other tributes.

For him to enjoy. "

Wukong was surprised. "It rains and doesn't eat people. This kind of good-natured monster is very rare. At least, I haven't seen one."

Xuanzang nodded.

Even Wukong hadn't seen it before. It seemed that it was very rare.

"If that's the case,

Then we,

Are going to shout that Bodhisattva is alive, "Chen Taigong said sadly." But this king of Synesthesia,

Has strange hobbies.

If we don't satisfy him,

He will be furious. The river will rise and drown the entire village. "

Xuanzang asked, "What hobbies does he have?"

"He, he, he, likes …" Chen Taigong sobbed as he spoke. He was unwilling to continue. For a moment, only his suppressed crying could be heard in the room.

Xuanzang didn't know what had happened. Seeing that his family didn't move, he didn't know the inside story, so he couldn't comfort him. He habitually looked at Wukong.

Wukong asked him, "Is master hungry?"

Xuanzang touched his stomach. They were the only ones in the room. He was a little embarrassed. "Yes …"

Chen Taigong's brother suddenly woke up and said with a smile, "The elder has come from afar. We can't neglect him. Hurry up and arrange a vegetarian meal."

For a while, the room became busy. Grand Duke Chen's younger brother comforted his elder brother in a low voice to calm him down.

Xuanzang pulled his disciples aside and whispered, "What did this monster do to scare people like this?"

Wukong said, "Capture the King of Synesthesia and ask him."

Wujing said, "In the past, when we caught people, we were not in a hurry to eat them, so we kept them as pets and teased them, feeding them bloody meat …" He saw Wukong shoot daggers at him, so he had no choice but to shut his mouth.

Ba Jie said, "Monsters scare people. They're usually ugly, mysterious, and eat people. But it doesn't sound like that."

Xuanzang trembled.

As they were talking, Grand Duke Chen's younger brother came over and said to Xuanzang, "Elder, please don't laugh at us. Whenever my brother thinks of what happened back then, he can't control his emotions."

Xuanzang saluted and said, "We shouldn't have frightened Grand Duke Chen." He paused and said, "Back then …"

"The King of Synesthesia's hobby was to watch strong men dance in women's underwear."

Grand Duke Chen's younger brother sighed. "From time to time, he would pick a few strong men from the village and order them to dress up and dance on the banks of the Tongtian River. No one knew when he would come and who would be chosen. During those years, the strong men in the village were all harmed."

The four people, "= 0 = …" They couldn't imagine it.

The way they looked at Grand Duke Chen changed. Judging by his age, he was about 50 or 60 years old. Twenty years ago, he was in his prime …

He was also a victim. The psychological trauma was too great.

Before they could ask, Grand Duke Chen's younger brother explained, "I was thin and weak. I didn't have any muscles, so I wasn't chosen."

He was anxious to clear his name.

Wukong smiled and said, "This monster is honest. Since he wants to protect you, you should just satisfy his hobby."

Grand Duke Chen's younger brother said, "That's not what I thought. However, twenty years ago, another King of Inspiration, who was equally powerful, came to the river. As the saying goes, a mountain can't have two tigers. This King of Inspiration and the King of Synesthesia competed for territory. The two of them fought. The Tongtian River's water was so fierce that we were so scared that we had to sleep outside for a few days."

Xuanzang listened attentively and asked, "What happened after that?"

"After that, the King of Inspiration was slightly better. He squeezed the King of Synesthesia into the tributary and took over the Tongtian River." Grand Duke Chen's younger brother smiled. "The King of Inspiration is really a living Buddha!

He also wants to protect us. He only needs to prepare offerings every month, prepare a big meal every year, and invite eminent monks to pray for blessings. He's also a vegetarian. "

Xuanzang was surprised. "Wow, a vegetarian monster."

He couldn't help but look at Wujing. His eyes conveyed, "Wujing, look at him." Wujing lowered his head in shame.

"Yes."

Grand Duke Chen's younger brother said, "We all call him a living Buddha in private. We can't wait for him to come. Moreover, he's handsome. The girls in the village all want to marry him. It's a pity that he comes and goes in a hurry. He never mentioned sacrificing the bride."

Wukong asked, "Then the King of Synesthesia is willing to be suppressed like this?"

"Of course not. That's why he challenges the King of Inspiration to fight every year. Most of the time, he loses. However, in recent years, the two of them are neck and neck. This makes us very worried. He better not come back."

He was a little worried. "I don't know if something happened to the King. This year, the war was brought forward. We were suddenly told to prepare a big meal. The offerings are easy to prepare, but it's not easy to invite eminent monks to pray for blessings.

Thank you for coming to our rescue. "

Xuanzang politely asked, "When will it start?"

Grand Duke Chen's younger brother said, "It will start tomorrow morning because the two kings will fight tomorrow."

Xuanzang nodded to show that he understood. After dinner, he brought his disciples back to the guest room to review the scriptures. Suddenly, he felt a little nervous. It sounded like he was cheering for the King of Inspiration.

Ba Jie muttered to Wukong, "I've been a monster for so long, but I've never met a vegetarian monster. Have you?"

Wukong said, "There are some who don't eat mortal food, but I've never seen a vegetarian one. Which Buddha or Bodhisattva's mount got lost?"

Ba Jie said, "That makes sense."

Although there was a brazier burning in the room, Xuanzang still felt a little cold. He looked out of the window and only saw darkness.

At night, for safety, he stayed with Wukong as usual. Ba Jie and Wujing stayed separately.

The next morning, Xuanzang was woken up by the noise outside. In a daze, he remembered that he had to do a ritual today. He quickly sat up and wanted to get out of bed.

As soon as the quilt slipped off, the biting cold swept over. Xuanzang quietly crawled back into the quilt and hugged Wukong, "It's too cold. I don't want to get out of bed."

Wukong's body was as hot as a stove. He did not catch a cold last night. At this moment, he did not want to let go and rubbed against him. He wanted to stick his whole body to him.

Wukong had just woken up. With a lazy and hoarse voice, he held him down with annoyance, "Don't move."

Xuanzang felt wronged, "But I'm cold." He pulled Wukong's hand out a little and quickly pulled it back, "Is it very cold?"

Wukong, "… Try what, isn't your head exposed?"

… Seems like it.

Xuanzang continued to hug him tightly. The bottom of his feet was the coldest, but he squeezed to find the warmest place between his legs, "Then what should I do?

Can I go out with the quilt? "

"Don't move."

Xuanzang knew that he would not really do anything to him, so he continued to act shamelessly, "Wukong, can you turn into clothes for me to wear?"

"Hiss —" Wukong sucked in a breath of cold air. The look in his eyes changed immediately. He forcefully pressed him under his body. His voice was so hoarse that it sounded like he was gnashing his teeth, "I'm a virgin."

Xuanzang blinked blankly, "Me too."

He only felt that there was something wrong with Wukong's eyes. They were originally golden, but at this moment, they were too scorching, like the scorching summer sun, almost burning him. The temperature of his whole body rose, and his heartbeat also sped up.

Wukong asked, "Do you know what it means to be a virgin?"

Xuanzang said dryly, "Stabilize your vital Yang, follow your heart."

Wukong asked patiently, "What does it mean to stabilize your vital Yang?"

Xuanzang could not answer.

He had been taught this since he was a child. Even though he did not understand, he asked his master, but his master said that it was related to men and women. As long as he did not get close to women, he did not need to know.

Women were a big taboo. Xuanzang was also shy. When he heard that it was related to women, he did not mention it at all, afraid that his master would think that he had some ideas.

He was forced by Wukong to the point that his eyes drifted, and his words became incoherent, "That, that, don't get close to women …"

Wukong laughed, "Then don't get close to women?

Hm? "

Xuanzang was angry. He covered his eyes, not wanting to look at him, "Don't get close to women means don't get close to women, don't get close to women."

"You're really …" Wukong stared at him for a long time. He finally gave up and got out of bed.

Without a source of fire, Xuanzang could only get out of bed and put on his clothes. The high temperature just now almost cooked him, how could he feel cold now?

He leaned against the window and was surprised to find that in one night, it had become a vast expanse of white. It was clearly late autumn, but it was already snowing heavily.

Not long after, there were servants who brought in a cotton-padded jacket and other clothes. Xuanzang wrapped himself tightly before going out. Grandfather Chen who had calmed down smiled and asked him, "Elder, did you sleep well last night?"

Xuanzang nodded, "Why is it snowing today?"

Grandfather Chen smiled, "I forgot to tell you, this is the Afflatus King's work."

The Afflatus King was afraid that they would fight and flood the village, so he deliberately froze the river with snow.

That was very considerate.

Every household in the Chen Village had an offering table in front of their door. There was also a big offering table on the bank of the Tongtian River, where Xuanzang prayed.

There was a thick layer of ice on the surface of the Tongtian River. When the sun shone on it, it was dazzling. There were a few children who ran onto the ice to play. When they were discovered by the adults, they were quickly pulled back and reprimanded, not allowing them to get close.

Wukong tidied his clothes. Seeing that he was wearing thick clothes, he asked, "Are you still cold?"

Xuanzang shook his head and said, "No, I'm not cold anymore." He quickly turned around and sat on the futon. He closed his eyes and pretended to work.

He did not know if it was because he mentioned something taboo in the morning, but when he saw Wukong, he felt shy and nervous. His ears were hot.
