Becoming a Demon [Comprehensive]

Chapter 106 Romance Through the Looking Glass

The kingdom of Tianzhu has been very lively recently, especially after the news that the princess wanted to recruit relatives came out, it attracted the hearts of many good men.

The princess was very beautiful and kind, and was deeply loved by the king.He even agreed with her and let her choose a husband-in-law by herself. As soon as this matter got out, it became a major event in Tianzhu Kingdom in recent years.

Shen Luo stayed in the palace a little depressed. She found that she had become a princess, but she was a fake princess.

Anyone who has read Journey to the West probably knows that the fake princess of Tianzhu Kingdom was transformed by the Jade Rabbit, and what she did was to deceive the Yuanyang Zhenqi in Tang Monk's body.

Tang Seng practiced for the real body of the boy, and practiced with him. The Yuanyang Qi in his body can help the jade rabbit to become an immortal.

This is also why there are so many monsters rushing forward and backward trying to lure Tang Seng on the way to learn Buddhist scriptures from the Western Paradise.

When Shen Luo became aware of his identity, Yutu had already chased away the real princess and planned to recruit relatives. It was obvious that Tang Seng was coming. Once Tang Seng came, Monkey King would not be far away.

The former is not terrible, but the latter is terrible.

She didn't want to miss the fish at all, but it caused a fishy smell all over her body.

When Monkey King came, he decided to give her a golden cudgel without saying a word.

However, these are only things that will appear according to the later development.If she changes her mind now, it's not impossible to smooth this matter over.At least it won't provoke Monkey King's sensitive nerves.

Monkey King has never been soft on monsters who covet his master's body.

The reason why Shen Luo was depressed was not because she was worried about the upcoming marriage recruitment, but because she found that when she wanted to change her mind and get the real princess back, she found that the real princess had a fairy spirit on her body, and this fairy spirit could only bless her. She is not harmed.

So what did I think of it, Jin Chanzi's journey to the west to learn scriptures was originally a competition between Buddhism and Taoism, and the monsters along the way were nothing but tribulations arranged by the gods.

Shen Luo was worried that if she didn't follow the plot, she might attract the attention of the gods in the sky, although the gods in the sky probably didn't have time to pay attention to her.

The real princess couldn't get back, and Shen Luo didn't want to go to battle by herself. After thinking about it, there was still some time before recruiting relatives. During this time, she would be a puppet to replace her.

This puppet doesn't need to have much attack power, as long as it doesn't let mortals find out, anyway, when the Monkey King comes over with a stick, and then exposes the matter, the real princess will come back.This ordeal is over.

Thinking of this, Shen Luo immediately felt relieved, and she immediately called for someone to get all the materials she needed.

Fortunately, this is the world of Journey to the West, gods and the like did not withdraw from the world, but Shen Luo discovered many rare things. In the small country of Tianzhu alone, there are many treasures that attracted Shen Luo's covetousness.

Staying at ease in the palace for a few days, Shen Luo enjoyed the treatment of a princess, and quickly made the puppet. After installing the spirit stone, it was exactly the same as her current body.

Satisfied, Shen Luo left the puppet in the palace to replace her, while her own puppet turned into her own appearance and lived outside the palace.

Shen Luo planned to watch outside, and waited for Tang Seng and others to leave before she went to enjoy herself.

At this time, Shen Luo completely forgot that her current body was still a jade rabbit, and when Chang'e came, she would have to ascend to heaven with Chang'e.

After a leisurely stay in Tianzhu Kingdom for a few days, Shen Luo tasted all the delicacies in the past few days, and even entered the primeval forest, riding an elephant for a day.

On this day, colorful buildings were suddenly erected in the cross streets of the city, and all the streets and alleys in Tianzhu, people who learned that the princess was recruiting relatives all rushed over.

Shen Luo paused, she didn't find the order, why would the puppet in the palace make her own decisions, she squinted her eyes and wanted to contact the puppet, only to find that she had lost contact with her when she came back.

what happened?Shen Luo was startled, then pinched her fingers, and after some calculations, she found that the puppet was controlled by a powerful will, which meant that her puppet had no connection with her.

Shen Luo probably understood what the tribulations in learning scriptures meant. Perhaps the script for each tribulation had already been written, and no changes were allowed.If she was the one in the palace, she must have resisted even a little bit, and her actions would be controlled.

Thinking of this, Shen Luo broke out in a cold sweat, she breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately she didn't play in person.

While Shen Luo couldn't think of Sichuan, a new situation appeared in the colorful building ahead, and a court lady shouted loudly, "The monk has been beaten."

This attracted Shen Luo's attention.

Probably thinking that the monk is a monk and can't get married, so he was guarding the king's grandson who wanted to snatch the hydrangea, and rushed forward to get the hydrangea back.

Shen Luo saw Sun Wukong grow bigger, and the crowd was frightened, and then triumphantly found that there was an empty space around the master.

The corners of Shen Luo's mouth twitched. When she saw court ladies and eunuchs visiting Tang Seng, she knew that things were still going according to the plot. She turned around and left Tianzhu Kingdom, and flew to the east.

Compared to watching the disaster group of four, Shen Luo wanted to see what Tang was like, especially the current emperor was Li Shimin, the first emperor of all ages.

Shen Luo left behind all the developments behind him, and flew eastward with all his might. He was probably taken care of by Monkey King, Monkey King along the way. There were not many monsters who became famous, and no one stopped Shen Luo.It took about two days to reach the range of Datang.

It is now the 23rd year of Zhenguan, Shen Luo was driving all the way to Chang'an, and on the way, he suddenly heard that the emperor was not in Chang'an, but in Cuiwei Palace in Zhongnan Mountain.

Shen Luo turned around again, and waited until the foot of Zhongnan Mountain to hear that the emperor was dying.

This made Shen Luo startled, Tang Seng and the others hadn't come back after learning scriptures, if the emperor died, who would receive them.

Just in case, Shen Luo ran to the palace to have a look, and found that the emperor was indeed dying and was about to die.

Shen Luo got a headache, the emperor seemed to have reached the end of his life, wouldn't it be against the sky to save him, but

If it is not saved, then how will the follow-up of Journey to the West develop, which makes her in a dilemma, should she save it or not?

In the end, Shen Luo made up his mind and saved him. At least Tang Taizong Li Shimin Shen Luo still admired him very much. He was the emperor, but he was much better than his unreliable son Li Shimin.

Shen Luo turned into a Taoist boy in Tsing Yi at the foot of the mountain, and then walked outside Cuiwei Palace.

The outside of Cuiwei Palace was surrounded by troops, after all, the emperor was cultivating here, so there was no need to protect him.

"Stop, who are you?" The little general stopped Shen Luo.

Shen Luo smiled and replied to the young general, "I'm just a wandering Taoist. I heard that Your Majesty's dragon body is in trouble, so I offer you a pill of elixir. This pill can cure diseases and pains, especially for sword wounds."

At this time, there were rumors among the people that the emperor liked to take pills, but he kept silent when he knew the inside story.The real reason for Gein was that the emperor was injured during the crusade against Goryeo a year ago, and his health has deteriorated since then. Now the government is handed over to the prince.The emperor's health became worse and worse, so he could only take elixir to refresh himself to guide the prince.

Rather than saying that the emperor likes to take pills, it is better to say that he took pills to squeeze his vitality and supported him to guide the prince.

Of course, the young general didn't know the inside story, and when he learned that Shen Luo was here to donate medicine, the young general opened his mouth and wanted to drive her out.

"Wu Na Yaodao, what kind of pill do you offer? There is a Taoist priest in the palace who will make alchemy for His Majesty. You don't know where you came from, you should leave quickly."

Shen Luo sighed and shook her head, knowing that she would not be able to see the emperor if she walked the normal way, so she sank into her dantian, and said, "Xiao Dao has an elixir, taking it can eliminate the serious illness, please Your Majesty summon Xiao Dao."

The young general saw that Shen Luo's mouth moved, and shouted: "What are you talking about, are you slandering this general?"

At this moment, the emperor, who had been in a coma for two days in Cuiwei Palace, woke up after hearing Shen Luo's words, and then asked the servants and the imperial physician beside him, "I heard someone talking to me, do you know who it is?"

Everyone shook their heads, the imperial physician's face was a little ugly, His Majesty's condition became more and more serious, and auditory hallucinations had already occurred.

In fact, in the past year, the emperor's body has become weaker and weaker, and everyone has made preparations for His Majesty's imminent death.

The emperor smiled wryly and waved his hands. He also thought that he had an auditory hallucination, so he asked the people guarding him to step back.

Naturally, the imperial doctors didn't dare to really leave, so they retreated to the flower hall outside, and then considered the pharmacy.

"Your Majesty, I have a elixir that can wash the marrow and cut the hair, and clear away the disease. Please also summon your Majesty."

The emperor was taken aback when he heard the voice again, he called the servant at the side and said, "Go outside the palace and see if there is anyone outside asking to see me."

The servant immediately turned around and went out. Although he didn't know why the emperor said this, but the emperor asked, he would naturally obey.

The servant went to the door and summoned the little eunuch, and said to him: "Go outside and see if there is anyone outside begging to see the saint."

The little eunuch responded crisply, "Yes, Grandpa Wang."

The little eunuch turned around and ran out in a hurry. After running outside, he saw Shen Luo being pushed by a young general at the door.

Unexpectedly, Shen Luo was fine, instead, the teenager slipped his foot and fell to the side.

Shen Luo opened his mouth again, "I beg to see Your Majesty and offer you an elixir. Can this general inform you?"

The teenager got up and his face was flushed. He was ashamed of his sudden fall.

Upon hearing this, the little eunuch rolled his eyes immediately, and then ran back. The royal servant was waiting outside the emperor's residence.

"Grandpa Wang, there is a person outside, a young Taoist priest, who has come to offer elixir to us saints."

Upon hearing this, Wang's servant immediately turned around, and said to the little eunuch, "Remember your credit first, you wait here."

"Hey." The little eunuch answered with a smile on his face.

The king's servant walked into the hall, passing by the group of imperial doctors who were discussing, he entered the hall, and replied to the emperor who closed his eyes and rested, "Go back to the saint, there is a little Taoist priest outside asking to see him, saying that he is offering elixir."

Hearing this, the emperor opened his eyes and said, "Then please come in, it's rare that there are still people who are willing to offer pills to me."

For some reason, the emperor wanted to see outsiders when he was lying in bed after being ill for a long time.

The king's servant waited, and then said: "Your Majesty, the prince has been waiting for you for a day and a night, and now he is waiting in the side hall. Do you want to summon the prince?"

The emperor shook his head, "Let him rest first, tell him, see him again at night."

At this time, a court lady brought medicine for the emperor to take.After the king's servant retreated, he went out of the hall and told the little eunuch to call in the Taoist priests outside, saying that His Majesty wanted to summon him.

Shen Luo was still entangled with the young general. At this time, a eunuch came to announce that Shen Luo would go in to meet him. Shen Luo smiled at the young general, "Thank you for the general's hospitality."

The young general was so angry that his neck was red.

Shen Luo followed the eunuch inside, walked through a large square, and came to a solemn palace.

The little eunuch brought Shen Luo outside the palace, and a middle-aged eunuch with white face and beardless shook his whisk and said to Shen Luo: "Come with me, the saint wants to summon you."

Shen Luo cupped his hands at him, this ceremony was quite nondescript, which made the middle-aged eunuch look sideways.

Without knowing it, Shen Luo followed the eunuch into the hall.

As soon as he walked into the hall, he heard a quarrel coming from the side hall. After listening carefully, Shen Luo realized that it was a quarrel about the dosage of a certain medicinal material in the prescription.

She had sneaked in before and checked the prescriptions used by the emperor, so she naturally knew that the emperor was dying, and those medicines were useless to the emperor.

The imperial physicians also knew well that the emperor was just delaying the day now.

Shen Luo thought about following the eunuch and walked in, but one or two imperial physicians saw Shen Luo and cast doubtful eyes on her.

Walking into the inner hall, Shen Luo could smell a medicinal smell, and she could guess which medicinal ingredients were inside just by the medicinal smell.

Ginseng, angelica, astragalus, gastrodia elata, etc., are all used to warm and nourish the body.

"I have seen the saint." The eunuch saluted the emperor.

Shen Luo followed suit.

The emperor was half-sitting on the bed, coughed, and said to the two of them, "Be flat."

Then the emperor asked Shen Luo, "I heard you asking to see me, why didn't others hear your voice?"

Shen Luo cautiously lowered her head and said: "Return to the saint..." She imitated the eunuch's name, and then said: "This is a Taoist spell, which can condense the sound into a line and transmit it to the ear of the designated person."

"Cough..." The emperor coughed, then waved his hands, "Let's not talk about this, why do you want to see me?"

Shen Luo stretched out her hand, revealing a small jade box, she said to the emperor: "Return to the sage, here is a elixir that can clear away serious illnesses, this is the general effect of elixir, and it is specially dedicated to the sage."

The emperor let out an "oh" and was not interested. To be honest, since he was sick, countless families paid tribute to him in the name of giving elixir, exaggerating the curative effect of the elixir.

At first, the emperor believed that he did not know how many pills he had taken, but the pills had no effect, which caused him to lose confidence in the pills. When he heard that Shen Luo was also offering pills, the emperor's face turned pale. The medicine completely turned him off.

Shen Luo saw the emperor's cold expression, she thought for a while, guessed that the emperor was not interested, and said, "Saint."

The emperor raised his head to look at her, and he was startled when he saw it. There was a circle of light around Shen Luo's body, and he knew that he was different from ordinary people at a glance, "Which immortal are you?"

The king's servant at the side was also startled, and hurriedly knelt down to pay respects to Shen Luo.

Shen Luo replied in a stick-like manner: "Pindao came from Kunlun Xu. The sage and the Buddhist learner have not met yet. Pedao is here to continue the life of the sage."

"The person who learned the scriptures?" the emperor murmured, and the royal servant reminded him, "Saint, the person who learned the scriptures should be Master Xuanzang."

"Oh, it's my imperial brother." The emperor finally remembered that more than ten years ago he had tricked a monk into going to Daleiyin Temple in Xitian to obtain scriptures.

In recent years, because Taoism has masters such as Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, Taoism once suppressed Buddhism and was out of breath.Later, Avalokitesvara appeared and asked Master Xuanzang to go to the West to seek the scriptures, and the emperor agreed.His suppression of Buddhism does not mean that he wants to destroy Buddhism. It is also good for him to give Buddhism a breathing space.

At that time, in order to make it sound nice, he was confused and even called him Yudi.

Shen Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard it. In Journey to the West, it was said that Emperor Taizong of Tang ordered people to build a Buddhist scripture building outside Chang'an City Pass since he sent Tang Seng away in the 13th year of Zhenguan, and he came here every year. Everyone forgot?

Shen Luo suspected that he was wearing a fake Journey to the West.

"Yes, although the sage lives fifty years, as long as he takes my elixir, he can eliminate the pain of disease and prolong his life." As for how many years it will last, Shen Luo didn't say anything. To be honest, she didn't know. In the underworld, the book of life and death records the lifespan of the emperor, she really doesn't know.

Being able to extend the emperor's life was also taking advantage of Journey to the West's loophole. Shen Luo had no idea that he was a butterfly this time and visited Tang Taizong's underworld.

People in the underworld also discovered this loophole. When Tang Taizong's soul returned to the underworld, the underworld also made up for it, adding a few years to Tang Taizong's lifespan, allowing him to complete the final prelude to Journey to the West.

The emperor's eyes changed, he glanced at the royal servant, the royal servant got up and respectfully took the jade box from Shen Luo, and gave it to the emperor.

The emperor opened the mouth of the jade box, a ray of light flashed by, and a elixir exuding a fragrance appeared in front of his eyes.

Just smelling the medicinal fragrance made the emperor feel much relieved, his eyes showed anticipation, no matter who he was, he had the desire to survive.

The imperial physicians outside who also smelled the fragrance of the medicine twitched their noses, "What is this?"

All the imperial physicians looked at each other, and then at the hall together, the fragrance of medicine came from the shop.

Everyone rushed to the hall immediately, "Saint, I want to see the saint."

When the emperor heard the voice, he said to the royal attendant, "Let them in."

"Yes." Wang's servant said respectfully.

The emperor closed the jade box and said to Shen Luo: "Immortals don't mind if I let the imperial physicians check the elixir?"

Shen Luo shook his head, "Of course I don't mind, it's just that many elixir are used in this pill, which the imperial physician may have never seen before."

The emperor pondered for a moment and did not speak. Soon the imperial physician came in, rushed to the emperor and said, "Saint, just now I smelled a medicinal fragrance outside. I don't know what kind of medicine it is. Could you let me take a look."

The emperor immediately threw the jade box to the leading imperial physician.

The imperial physician hurriedly took it, then opened the lid of the box, and immediately the fragrance came out again, and several imperial physicians surrounded the pill and said: "The scent of this medicine makes the internal organs feel comfortable, but I don't know if I take it. What effect does it have. But I am too ignorant to see what other medicinal materials are in it."

Several people discussed it, and then the court judged to return the elixir to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I am ashamed that I have not been able to analyze what kind of medicinal material this is."

"You can ask this Taoist priest, it is the elixir offered by the Taoist priest." The emperor threw Shen Luo out at once.

The imperial physicians surrounded Shen Luo and asked her about the curative effects of the elixir. Shen Luo immediately said: "This elixir can eliminate illnesses when taken, but it is made with a lot of elixir. Many elixir can't be seen at all. .”

The imperial doctor immediately doubted Shen Luo's words, and someone came out and asked, "Do you know if there are any other medicines? A saint's dragon body is very expensive. You have to try the medicine first to know the effect before letting the saint take it." None of them could afford to let the emperor take it. Responsibility for taking unknown elixir.

Shen Luo said calmly: "I heard that this elixir is only made into one pill. If a sage believes in poverty, he can take it. If he doesn't believe it, he can throw it away."

The emperor smiled and said: "Don't be angry, Taoist priest, my subjects are just worried about my safety." This sentence is very ironic, because the emperor has been critically ill several times, and he was lucky to survive each time. It's getting worse and worse, but it's just a candle in the wind.Even speaking, he was weak and without confidence.

We must know that a year ago, before the crusade against Goryeo, the emperor was brave and mighty, and he was in his prime.

The emperor was injured by an accident, which caused the emperor to lose money when he was young, and his body blew out thousands of miles like a flood from a collapsed embankment.

Sickness comes like a mountain, which describes the current situation of the emperor.

The emperor opened the jade box and threw the elixir directly into his mouth.

"saint!"

"Saint, spit it out quickly, how can you take a elixir of unknown origin?"

The elixir melted in the mouth, and it had already turned into clear water and flowed into the emperor's stomach. It was too late to say anything at this time.

The imperial physicians glared at Shen Luo, "You monster, what kind of medicine did you let the saint take?"

Shen Luo spread his hands, "Of course it's a pill for His Majesty's condition."

The imperial physicians continued to glare, but the emperor suddenly lay down on the bed.

"Your Majesty!" The imperial physicians were terrified and crowded around the bed.

At this moment, the emperor was coughing so badly that a mouthful of black blood spewed out from him, and someone immediately took the emperor's pulse.

All the imperial physicians anxiously looked at the imperial physician who was taking the emperor's pulse, and asked, "How?"

The black blood was still spitting out from the emperor's mouth, the blood vessels on his body swelled, and blood beads oozed from the pores from time to time.

Soon the emperor became a blood man, and everyone else was scared to death, but the imperial doctor who took the emperor's pulse was stunned.

"How is it, Zhang Yizheng, how is the saint's pulse?"

Doctor Zhang came back to his senses, with a complicated look on his face, which quickly turned into a happy one, "The saint's pulse condition has improved, and the original vitality is not visible, but now the vitality is gradually getting stronger."

The original vitality is far from showing, it is almost gone.

Hearing what Dr. Zhang was saying, the Imperial Physician at the side pushed him away, and also gave the Emperor his pulse. This time, his face showed shock.

"Your Majesty's pulse has really improved!"

All the imperial doctors were in an uproar. What does this mean? It means that the emperor may get better.

The king's servant was pushed aside by the imperial physicians. Hearing these words, his face was filled with joy. There was one king and one courtier. Compared with the crown prince's succession, he still hoped that the emperor would be a saint.

When Shen Luo saw these people busy checking the emperor's pulse and cleaning up, she knew that there was nothing to do with her. Taking advantage of these people not paying attention, Shen Luo quietly left the palace.

When the emperor got better and wanted to find Shen Luo, he found that she had disappeared, and he couldn't help sighing, he is really a master, he does not seek fame and fortune.

Then I remembered Master Xuanzang who had been forgotten. After he recovered from his illness, he went to the Wangjing Tower outside Chang'an City Pass every year.

One day four years later, I happened to meet Tang Seng and his disciples who came back here.
