Chapter 1753 Artificial Intelligence in the Western Liang Women's Kingdom

When Tang Sanzang and his disciples passed the Zimu River, only Zhu Bajie felt thirsty due to the summer heat. He immediately took out a water ladle from his bag and prepared to scoop up some water to drink. As for hygiene, that wasn't an issue in this era.

"Aren't you all thirsty? If not, then I, Old Pig, will drink it all?"

They all shook their heads; having experienced the scorching heat of the Flaming Mountains, this temperature was nothing to them.

The Jade Rabbit's technique was the most peculiar; she closed her eyes and concentrated, emanating a chill from her entire body.

Sun Wukong was extremely heat-resistant, and Tang Sanzang was afraid that drinking river water would cause stomach pain, so none of them planned to drink water.

The old pig just grimaced.

Just as he scooped up half a ladle of water and was about to drink, a clear voice rang out from afar: "You can't drink it!"

Along with the sound came a hidden arrow.

The old pig easily dodged to the side, thus avoiding drinking the saliva.

He was furious. Looking across the river, he saw a beautiful young woman in her early twenties making a gesture of raising her hand. It was clear that the hidden arrow from before was fired by the young woman.

This girl's appearance, mannerisms, and demeanor somewhat resemble the Queen Mother of the West from the Jade Pool of the past, only a younger version.

Haotian and Yaochi are things of the past, so Old Pig isn't afraid anymore.

He glanced at it, then glanced at it again.

Upon seeing a beautiful woman, he had long since forgotten his anger.

Seeing his lewd smile, Sun Wukong immediately pushed him behind him and gently tugged at him with his right hand, so that Tang Sanzang, the handsome one, could stand in front of them.

"May I ask, female benefactor, why are you preventing my disciple from drinking water?"

The girl said loudly, "Masters, you cannot drink this river water."

After the girl's explanation, the four of them realized the power of the Zimu River, and Old Pig was immediately terrified.

I was really terrified.

Although there is a way to resolve this miscarriage, it's obvious that if Tang Sanzang drank it along with him, Sun Wukong would definitely try to get the abortifacient. But if he was the only one who was unlucky, the monkey would definitely laugh at him. The biggest danger in this situation would probably be that the monkey would laugh himself to death.
The girl's name was Bai Xing, and she was the daughter of the Queen of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom. Hearing that they were monks who had come from the Tang Dynasty in the East, she offered to take them to see the Queen.

As soon as they entered the city, Tang Sanzang and his disciples received treatment far exceeding that of ordinary citizens.

A group of women surrounded them completely.

"Look at your legs, let me see your legs! Oh my, so much leg hair! It's so coarse, rock hard! Hehe."

"Look at your chest, you're a grown man, what are you afraid of? Just let this old woman take a look?"

"Let me touch your belly. Hmm? What's this woman? We don't want women, women get lost!"

The Jade Rabbit was pushed back into the pilgrimage group with a look of disgust on its face.

Bai Xing was very cheerful and teased Tang Sanzang, "You must be sweating buckets, right, Brother Tang?"

As a princess, it was perfectly reasonable for her to address the Tang emperor's sworn brother as "Imperial Brother." Tang Sanzang chuckled dryly twice.

Upon arriving at the palace, the crowd of women who had come to watch the spectacle finally dispersed. Bai Xing went into the palace to report that the current Queen of the Western Liang Kingdom was nearly fifty years old, which was considered a long life in this era. Her health had been poor, and she needed to go and see her. If it was convenient, she would meet her; if not, she would let Tang Sanzang and his disciples pass through directly.

The delicate young woman departed, her back view incredibly graceful. Tang Sanzang couldn't help but steal a few more glances. So beautiful, so alluring.
Whether by accident or design, Pigsy suddenly appeared from the side, his obese body completely blocking Tang Sanzang's view of the girl.

By making a fool of himself, he helped the team fight their way out, and at this moment, Pigsy was standing next to Tang Sanzang, trying to take credit.

"Master, if it weren't for me, Old Pig, those women would have eaten you up." Before Old Pig could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Tang Sanzang, who said irritably.

"Then I should thank you, Master!"

"No need for that!"

The white dragon horse was tethered outside the palace gate, and the four people waited quietly for the summons.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a commotion was heard coming from the side hall.

Tang Sanzang didn't want to be surrounded by a group of middle-aged women again. He wouldn't mind if the women were pretty, but they weren't. So he quickly covered his face with his cassock and urged his disciples, "Wukong, Bajie, go and see what's causing this commotion. Are they talking about us?"

Logically, one shouldn't wander around while waiting for the king's summons, as it's a matter of etiquette. However, Tang Sanzang didn't think that such a small country deserved much attention. He felt it was appropriate for him to wait here and let Sun Wukong go and gather information.

Pigsy felt he had just performed a great service, but the monk hadn't even given him a verbal thanks. He just kept looking at his princess, his ears drooping, humming and whimpering, pretending not to hear him.

The Jade Rabbit was chatting animatedly with a beautiful maid, completely ignoring Tang Sanzang.

Sun Wukong was in a good mood lately, and sitting idly waiting was indeed boring. Now that he had received his orders, he skipped and hopped over to gather information.

Upon arriving at the side hall, one could indeed see a group of middle-aged women, not a single woman under thirty. No wonder Tang Sanzang wasn't interested.

Sun Wukong used a transformation technique to become an ordinary-looking woman, blending into the crowd and listening intently.

Then a middle-aged woman with a figure like a weight said, "Her mansion is well-off, and she uses all sorts of tricks and lewd techniques to bewitch the emperor. According to the regulations of this dynasty, since she is competing with the people for profit, her official robes should be stripped off and she should be paraded through the streets as a warning!"

"Yes, yes! What bullshit 'love' and 'artificial intelligence'? I think they're all monsters. A machine made of wood and iron can move and work on its own? Has anyone ever heard of such a strange thing?" A thin middle-aged woman with triangular eyes and high cheekbones said indignantly, her voice high-pitched and thin.

After listening for a while, Sun Wukong roughly understood that it was the two middle-aged women, one fat and one thin, who were leading the protest against Grand Tutor Zhu of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom. The reason was that the Grand Tutor had invented many machines that replaced human labor, and since they had no profit, they were using ancestral laws to cause trouble.

At this point, a joint petition should be signed, requesting the king to reclaim the Grand Tutor's power and restore everything to its original state.

They listed numerous crimes, and Sun Wukong, listening from the side, discovered that they were all inventions and creations that sounded quite amazing.

There are machines here that weave cloth continuously for twelve hours.

There are machines that replace grooms in leading horses.

There are also farming machines that the older women can't explain, and even Sun Wukong (the Monkey King) couldn't understand.

Sun Wukong had traveled throughout the Central Plains and knew that Nezha's second brother, Muzha, was once very skilled in mechanical arts. Lu Ban had perfected mechanical arts and was able to fly in the sky riding a wooden kite.

"Are mechanical arts this advanced now?" he asked in surprise. The "love" and "artificial intelligence" that the older women were talking about could paint like a human, write stories, play music, and cover all aspects of life. There was nothing that this "love" couldn't do.
