This paragraph was a bit boring for Princess Chengyang. She wanted to hear the story of the monkey more than the story of Haotian God and Daode Tianzun saving the world, but she was polite and did not interrupt.
Of course, it is also possible that they were afraid of Changsun Wugou and did not dare to do so, because at this moment Changsun Wugou had already sat on the chair next to them and was listening with great interest.
To her, the setting just now was much more interesting than the havoc in heaven.
Zixiao Palace, immortals and gods, Yuanhui, Measuring Tribulations, Infinite Calamities... How did he come up with these? The key is that he integrated them all, and finally made me the person who carries the destiny.
She likes this setting so much.
I left five thousand words to Yin Xi and then set off on the westward journey again. The part that Princess Chengyang liked to hear the most was reached, the monkey was about to appear.
"When I walked to the foot of Five Elements Mountain, I heard someone calling him Master, so I walked over to take a look out of curiosity... After getting to know him, it turned out to be the protector that Empress Nuwa had found for him."
"The monkey was transformed by the Heaven-Mending Stone of Empress Nuwa... The empress took pity on him and pointed out a clear path for him, and followed me to the west..."
"I am a moral god who came down to earth to preach to the world and resolve calamities. I don't know who leaked it. All the demons and ghosts in the world have laid a dragnet on the road ahead, intending to harm him."
Changsun Wugao transformed into a reasonable party in seconds and started to criticize: "Why do you want to harm him? Isn't it beneficial to everyone to resolve the calamity?"
Chen Jingke said meaningfully: "It's easy to fish in muddy waters."
Changsun Wugou thought for a while and nodded slowly, saying: "What a fish in troubled waters... keep talking."
After that, he continued to talk about how I rescued Sun Wukong, and they had a falling out because Sun Wukong's mental ape was difficult to cure. Empress Nuwa appeared and gave me a tight band to cure the monkey.
When he got here, he sighed softly and said: "Okay, that's it for today. I haven't thought about the rest of the story yet. Let me think about it carefully, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Changsun Wugou was very satisfied. These stories were enough for her to write many articles today, but she was not in a hurry and would wait until the whole story was finished.
Princess Chengyang was very dissatisfied and pursed her lips and said: "It doesn't sound good. I want to hear the story of causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace."
Chen Jingke could completely understand her thoughts, because he didn't like this part very much when he was a child, so he comforted him: "It will be lively tomorrow. There will be a dragon stealing my cow. The monkey is going to capture the dragon to avenge the cow."
Princess Chengyang immediately became energetic: "Really? Don't lie to me."
Chen Jingke stretched out his little finger and said, "Come on, let's pull the hook."
The little girl didn't know what a hook was at all, but she was very excited after hearing his explanation. She stretched out her finger and shouted: "The hook will not be changed for a hundred years, and it will be sealed."
After they had had enough trouble, a few of them talked about Changsun Wugu's illness.
Sun Simiao said: "Asthma has been controlled and greatly improved. The main reason is that the previously damaged vitality needs a long time to recover."
Chen Jingke couldn't help but be astonished by the efficacy of those drugs. This is a body that has never been harmed by modern antibiotics and other drugs. In his previous life, drugs that could only be regarded as popular could have such good effects.
As for the physical deficit, he felt something in his heart and said, "Wait for me."
Then he ran to the next room, took out two soft cans from the big black bag, came back, put them in front of Changsun Wugou and said:
"This product can quickly replenish the body's vitality... These two packets have been opened and cannot be stored for a long time. You must eat them quickly, otherwise they will spoil."
This is a protein powder and nutritional powder for adventure. When you are unable to cook, rinse it with hot water to quickly replenish the nutrients your body needs.
These two packs were bought before he traveled through time. If they are kept for such a long time and are not eaten, they are really expired. Although expiration does not necessarily mean that they cannot be eaten, it is still best to eat them within the shelf life.
Changsun Wugou didn't know this, and mistakenly thought it was some kind of treasure. Chen Jingke said that it was going to be broken, so he deliberately comforted her, and he was very moved.
Now she recognizes this feeling more and more from the bottom of her heart.
Chen Jingke continued: "Also, the child grows and develops by absorbing the mother's essence and blood. It takes a normal woman two or three years to recover after giving birth, not to mention that you still have chronic diseases."
"Having a baby will only increase the burden on your body and cause disease, so... forget it, I'll just tell His Majesty directly."
Changsun Wugou naturally knew what he meant. She was a little embarrassed to talk about this kind of thing face to face, but she still said: "I will talk to His Majesty myself."
After chatting for a while about recuperation matters, Changsun Wugou stood up and left, pulling the reluctant Princess Chengyang away.
Before leaving, he also told Chen Jingke that Yan Lide, the master craftsman who would be the master craftsman, would come to him in the afternoon to discuss the construction of a new Taoist temple and let him think about how to build it in advance.
After seeing off his eldest son Wugao and returning to the house, Sun Simiao opened the door and had a clear view of everything going on outside.
"You made up the story of Journey to the West not just to relieve boredom, right?"
Chen Jingke knew that this day would come sooner or later, so he was already prepared and said calmly: "Yes. But telling the story to the princess was indeed out of kindness, and it was purely an accident that His Majesty found out later."
Sun Simiao nodded. The biggest responsibility for how things turned into the current situation lies with him. If he hadn't been soft-hearted and confessed Chen Jingke, there wouldn't have been so many things later.
"What is your purpose?"
Chen Jingke said: "It's nothing more than fame and fortune. I want to use Journey to the West to gain fame and fortune, at least to occupy a place in Taoism."
Sun Simiao could understand his thoughts, but he didn't expect that his ambition for fame and fortune would be so important: "Is fame and fortune worth it if it doesn't bring you life or death?"
Chen Jingke shook his head and said: "Master has misunderstood. I pursue fame and fortune only as a tool to achieve my greater ideals."
Sun Simiao was stunned for a moment and said: "What ideal?"
"It's nothing more than self-cultivation, harmonizing the family, governing the country and bringing peace to the world." Chen Jingke further explained: "Why did the First Emperor want to unify weights and measures with books and chariots? Why did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only respect Confucianism?"
"Because there can only be one voice in the world. The more voices there are, the more people's hearts will be confused, which will eventually lead to disintegration. When there is only one voice, we can be twisted into a rope."
"Since the Jin Dynasty, Buddhism and Taoism have flourished, and Confucianism has never regained its strength as it was in the previous Han Dynasty. Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism compete with each other side by side... In times of war, this situation was nothing."
"However, now that the country is unified, there are too many three voices that are not conducive to the long-term stability of the country. The three religions will inevitably have a winner."
"Some people in the Sui Dynasty had already understood this truth and tried to merge the three religions. Among them, the Confucian scholar Wang Tong went the furthest. Unfortunately, he only proposed the idea of the merger of the three religions, but failed to find a way to merge."
Sun Simiao was completely stunned by his disciple's words. What kind of monster is this? He actually set his sights on the idea of merging the three religions to reshape his family and country.
"You believe that you can do something that even a great scholar like Wang Tong cannot do?"
Chen Jingke said firmly: "Yes."
Sun Simiao said: "Why?"
Chen Jingke said: "Only the emperor can achieve the merger. No matter how talented others are, they can only take the lead for the king. Wang Tong does not understand this truth and wants to rely on his own strength to do it, which is completely overestimating his own capabilities."
"Of course, it's useless even if he understands it, because he hasn't met a real heroic master. He is no less than a heroic master of Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty, so he can't but I can."
