#1891 - Angry Tang Monk and his disciples
Since the king fell ill and never recovered, the royal physicians naturally tried every possible method, but all sorts of prescriptions were tried, yet to no avail.
The king's health deteriorated day by day.
The Taoist priest who brought the woman here, whom the king had appointed as the Royal Father-in-law, suddenly said to the king that he had a secret overseas remedy that could prolong life.
After saying this, he left.
When he reappeared, the Royal Father-in-law said that the medicine had been collected.
The king was naturally overjoyed and hurriedly wanted the Royal Father-in-law to administer it to him.
But the Royal Father-in-law said that although the medicine was effective, it required a medicinal primer.
This medicinal primer naturally required the hearts and livers of one thousand one hundred and eleven children to be boiled into a soup, then taken together with these medicines.
Only now did everyone realize that this was the reason.
And this Child City was probably meant to attract others, but also to satirize the king.
No wonder the city's name had been taken away.
"This is simply outrageous," Tang Seng said angrily after hearing this.
In his opinion, these children were all innocent, yet they had to be forced into becoming medicinal primers because the king wanted to live forever.
Most importantly, the king was completely bringing it upon himself.
"Alas, I'm afraid the king won't listen to us anymore," the station chief said helplessly.
Some ministers had tried to persuade him not to do such wicked things, but the king believed that they didn't want him to live forever and beheaded them directly.
Because of this, although the ministers knew that this kind of thing was wrong, they were helpless.
As for the soldiers, they might not want to do this either, but living in such a chaotic world, if they didn't listen to the king, they would lose their reason for existence.
Various constraints and influences had created this absurd reality.
At this time, the station chief reminded again: "Venerable monks, you are eminent monks from the Tang Dynasty. The king will not listen to you, so when you see the king, be sure not to mention this matter."
In the station chief's opinion, the current king was already obsessed, and no one could dissuade him.
He was worried that this group of people would anger the king. If they failed to exchange the travel permit, that would be fine, but he didn't want them to lose their lives for nothing.
Tang Seng immediately retorted: "This kind of absurd thing, this monk cannot ignore."
"Venerable monk, please listen to my advice," the station chief earnestly advised.
Seeing this, Chu Hao suddenly said: "Okay, we understand. Station chief, you've worked hard."
As one of the only two normal people in this group, the station chief assumed that Chu Hao was also a monk and nodded: "Venerable monks, be sure to remember what I said. Rest here today, and I will take you there for the morning court tomorrow."
Saying this, the station chief stood up: "I still have some official business to attend to."
"Please go ahead, sir," Tang Seng nodded.
Before leaving, the station chief did not forget to continue reminding: "Venerable monks, be sure not to publicize this."
"Don't worry," Tang Seng replied.
After the station chief left, Zhu Bajie complained: "This station chief is so long-winded. This kind of thing is completely aiding the evildoer."
Sun Wukong also rarely agreed with his view: "Bajie is right, so Master, what should we do?"
Tang Seng was also at a loss.
To be honest, he naturally wanted to question the king about this.
He said: "Tomorrow morning, at the court, I still want to ask the king in person."
"What's the point of asking, Master? That king is obviously depraved, just kill him," Sun Wukong said more directly.
"Wukong, don't be so bloodthirsty," Tang Seng frowned.
However, as soon as these words were spoken, the three disciples all showed strange expressions.
They remembered that when their master started killing people, he didn't even blink an eye.
Of course, that was when Tang Seng was possessed by the demon.
Now that the demonic energy had subsided, Tang Seng was much gentler than before.
After saying this, Tang Seng continued: "Although the king is昏庸, his crime does not warrant death. Let me ask him clearly tomorrow."
"What if the others turn against us tomorrow, Master?" Zhu Bajie asked.
This was indeed a problem.
After all, if they really angered the king, then they would not be able to exchange the travel permit, and they would not be able to continue forward.
"How about this, Master? I have a plan," Sun Wukong suddenly thought of something.
"Oh, Wukong, tell me about it," Tang Seng nodded.
"Why don't I sneak into the palace tonight, then find the king and ask him clearly?" Sun Wukong said, and added: "Anyway, he won't recognize me then. Even if he really turns against us, it won't affect tomorrow's court."
"That's a good method," Tang Seng nodded.
At this moment, Tang Seng suddenly noticed that Chu Hao's expression was not right.
After Chu Hao told the station chief to leave in peace, he sat there without saying a word.
Not speaking was one thing, but his expression was obviously unhappy.
Tang Seng asked: "Immortal Master, what do you think?"
"What do I think?" Chu Hao said, and suddenly said: "I think those adults all deserve to die."
The murderous words shocked Tang Seng and his disciples instantly.
But Chu Hao didn't think these words were inappropriate.
After all, letting children endure suffering, while those adults watched indifferently, wasn't that a sin?
Bystanders are no different from murderers!
Tang Seng was startled by Chu Hao's words. The other party was not like Sun Wukong, who could be stopped by him.
According to Chu Hao's usual way of doing things, Tang Seng felt that the other party might really do such a thing.
So he was unwilling for this kind of thing to happen.
After all, those adults were innocent. How could they not want to protect their children, not want to see their blood relatives become someone else's medicinal primer? If it wasn't out of helplessness, who would be willing?
So Tang Seng had to say: "Immortal Master, you must be cautious."
Of course, Chu Hao knew this. The words just now were only said because he was very upset.
Then, he looked at Tang Seng and said: "Don't worry, I won't do that."
Tang Seng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Then, Chu Hao said to Sun Wukong: "Brother Wukong, let me do this. I'll go ask the king."
Sun Wukong naturally agreed when he heard this.
Tang Seng sat there uneasily, afraid that Chu Hao would accidentally send the king to the Western Paradise, and then he wouldn't know who to exchange the travel permit with.
"I am very merciful," Chu Hao said meaningfully to Tang Seng, and then left this place directly.
