Chapter 189 Bad News
"What is the Western Liang Women's Kingdom? How so?" Tang Xuanci asked.

Sha Wujing said:
"Master, this country consists entirely of women, with no men, hence it is called the Kingdom of Women."

“From here, head west, pass through the borders of Wuji Kingdom and Chechi Kingdom, cross the Tongtian River, and you will arrive.”

"I suspect the fetus likely came from there, because the normal process of reincarnation from the underworld is not only complicated, but the soul must also be reincarnated."

"If one is a Golden Immortal like Second Senior Brother, with a strong primordial spirit, one can naturally resist the erosion of the power of reincarnation and keep one's memories intact."

"But if one's cultivation level is weak, even if one drinks the Meng Po soup that protects one's consciousness, it will be difficult to preserve one's memories after entering the cycle of reincarnation."

"Therefore, immortals and demons who know the ways will find alternative methods when helping their descendants whose physical bodies have been damaged to be reborn."

"And the most famous of these routes is the Kingdom of Women."

"Going there to be reincarnated is all about price, and there are a large number of women whose bloodlines have never been mixed with outsiders, making it the most efficient."

"It can be said that more than 80% of those who are secretly reincarnated come from the Kingdom of Women."

"Furthermore, when I was an official in the Flowing Sands Domain, I personally witnessed a great god's retinue paying money to bring a pregnant woman from the Women's Kingdom back to his residence to raise her child and relieve her lovesickness in advance."

"I think that pregnant woman looks just like the one in front of me; she's also been bewitched by some kind of magic."

"Presumably, after the pregnant woman gives birth, she must be sent back according to the rules. At that time, she will not remember anything and will not talk nonsense in the country."

Tang Xuanci was dumbfounded. He thought to himself, "Good heavens, there is such a strange place, the Three Realms Palace?"

After thinking for a moment, he immediately said:
"Then Li Xian and Xiao Qin probably went there to be reincarnated. After all, Buddhist sects can't do this kind of thing in the open, so it's definitely the most convenient way to find a black market industry."

"In that case, Wukong, you will use your clones to deceive the Buddhist sect tonight."

"Wujing, take me directly to the Women's Kingdom to gather information. If we find any pregnant women carrying them, we'll just rob them."

"And Wuneng, you're coming with me too. It's full of women there, perfect for a lustful devil like you!"

He thought that Zhu Wuneng would be very excited after hearing this.

Unexpectedly, Old Pig immediately objected and shouted:
"I'm not going!"
"This rogue monk is trying to trick me again. He won't be satisfied until he kills me."

"Do you even know whose territory that is? You just went there and you think you can cause trouble and kidnap people?"

Tang Xuanci asked doubtfully:
"Whose territory is it? Is it the Buddha's, or some celestial venerable or immortal emperor's territory in the Heavenly Court? Even if it is, so what? They won't be personally overseeing it. What's there to avoid going there?"

“Master, it is really not advisable to go there rashly.”

Sha Wujing said:
"You don't know this, but the Kingdom of Women and the River of Mother and Child do not belong to Mount Ling or the Heavenly Court. Instead, they are occupied by a scorpion demon."

"It is incredibly powerful and lives there year-round."

"Moreover, a rule has long been established that if a man enters the country without permission, no matter who he is, he will be killed without exception."

Tang Xuanci was even more puzzled and asked, "Is it that awesome?"

Sha Wujing said, "It once fought the Buddha for four hundred rounds, stung one of Tathagata's hands, and successfully escaped."

Ah this?

That's a pretty impressive record!

No wonder it openly engages in illegal activities there, and the Heavenly Court turns a blind eye.

Tang Xuanci fell silent.

The monkey, whose staff was already itching for more, couldn't resist any longer upon hearing that the other party was related to Buddha. He proudly declared:
"You can hurt the Buddha, but you might not be able to hurt me, Old Sun. Why don't you stay here and try to appease the Buddhist sect? I'll go there, and if I really find those two fetuses, I guarantee I'll bring them back to you easily."

"No, Wukong~"

Tang Xuanci quickly grabbed it, fearing that the first fighting force that the gang had worked so hard to develop would be gone forever.

Finally, to be on the safe side, he decided to wait until the pregnant woman in front of him gave birth, then have the White Bone Demon possess her and infiltrate the Women's Kingdom to gather information, and also to see if the Venerable Wonderful Enlightenment would reveal any information on his return journey.

When Miaojue returned with a female cultivator who was proficient in the art of childbirth, the five of them—master and disciples—moved to the small courtyard next door.

The matter of Chen Xiaoke coming to meet is not under Miaojue's jurisdiction.

The abbot had previously told Tang Xuanci, "I have heard that Venerable Wuse has set off from Mount Luojia and must be on his way."

The name "Wuse" is said to be a Dharma name given to her by Guanyin, which may mean that she should realize that form is emptiness as soon as possible and stop being obsessed with Gege's beauty.

As for "venerable one," it is an honorific title given by the abbot according to his or her position.

They made it sound so serious, as if Guanyin had really taken that simpleton as her disciple and taught him Buddhist martial arts.

Tang Xuanci naturally didn't believe a word of it. However, seeing that Gao Huitong had truly been resurrected, and that there was hope of finding Li Xian and Siqin, he gained a little more patience to wait.

That evening, the Anti-Heaven Society held another emergency meeting.

The main reason is the appearance of the White Bone Demon. After conducting in-depth calculations, Beaker felt that if it could use its supernatural powers to control some key figures in Chang'an, even if they only had the fighting power of mortals, it might be possible to get Li Shimin out of the city.

The benefits are—

The dream-stealing operation might be completed quietly, so Tang Xuanci wouldn't have to risk his life, and the gang could continue to develop in secret.

The downside is—

The time frame is longer, and there may be changes.

After Chen Xiaoke arrived, we couldn't openly rob her anymore. We could only play hard to get and let her take a signal device back first, and then secretly take it from her later.

Moreover, since the Heavenly Court's legislative meeting was only a few days away, once Tang Xuanci lost his mortal identity, his plan to "travel alone to Chang'an" would become completely unfeasible.

In other words, these two options cannot be used as alternatives to each other; only one can be chosen.

After understanding the pros and cons, Comrade Ritian, Comrade Dingtian, and even the very hot-tempered Comrade Aotian all expressed a right-leaning attitude and supported the more conservative new plan.

Only Comrade Qitian, who was eager for more, held a left-leaning attitude.

Seeing this, Tang Xuanci remained silent, which was tantamount to acquiescing to the new plan.

……

Two days later in the morning.

After finishing his bench press in the courtyard, Tang Xuanci slammed his 13,500-jin (approximately 6,750 kg) Zhiyin Stick onto the ground and asked the monkey beside him:

"How's it going? Still not done?"

"Ugh, this is so annoying!"

The monkey grumbled, then grabbed a hand-drawn diagram with its left hand to examine it, while its right hand rested on an engine, using its magic to fix the internal malfunction.

The ground around them was littered with parts such as wheels, pedals, seats, and steering handles.

Although it was impressed by Tang Xuanci's science, it had no patience for anything other than weapons of mass destruction and fun things.

After frowning and fiddling with it for a while, it finally said:

"That's definitely right now. If it stalls again, then there's something wrong with your design."

As it spoke, it raised its hand, causing all the parts, large and small, to float in mid-air and assemble into a pink "Minsta" brand commuter motorcycle.

(As shown in the picture)
I sat down, inserted the key, and turned it. There was a "buzzing" sound, and the little motorcycle started to vibrate, successfully getting going.

"What's the use of this thing? It's not even as fast as a decent horse. You might as well get a tamed beast and give it to that little girl."

The monkey uttered disdainful words, but its actions spoke volumes. It twisted the throttle, leaned to the right, and rode around the yard at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour.

Tang Xuanci said:

"She's so clumsy, her riding posture is always wrong, her buttocks rub against each other, and it gets swollen every time she rides."

"So, I once told her that motorcycles are easy to ride and would suit her better. I said that when they are built, I would give her the first one."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face as he recalled the little girl's joyful expression at the time.

This detail was clearly imprinted in the horse's eye on the side where the milk dragon was located.

For some reason, she could sense that the monk treated the beaker named Xiao Ke differently.

At this moment, Zhu Wuneng and Sha Wujing walked out of the house together, first giving a cryptic signal, and then said:
“Master, the abbot of this temple has something to discuss with us. We’ll be right back. Eldest brother, they’d like you to come along too.”

Seeing that they had exchanged a secret signal, the monkey didn't say anything more, rode the motorcycle back to Tang Xuanci, and left with them.

Tang Xuanci didn't pay too much attention to it. He just asked them to inquire about Chen Xiaoke's matter again, and then he rode his motorcycle to the side of the milk dragon horse to coax her.

After about half an incense stick's time, he successfully broke the ice by bringing up the topic of "the old dragon king of the West Sea must also have a lot of wives and concubines," which angered the baby dragon so much that he even cursed his own father as shameless.

Just as they were enjoying themselves, a monkey-like insect suddenly flew back quietly, landed on their shoulder, and said:
"Monk, I have bad news for you."

"That little girl with the Buddhist name Wuse encountered an enemy attack in the middle of the sea when she came here."

"Judging from what they're saying, they're probably... dead!"
