Chapter 756: Chapter 756

Tang Sanzang’s expression was somewhat strange, as if smiling but not smiling, as if crying but not crying, lost in a daze.

Zhu Bajie screamed, "Master, never mind whether it’s a boy or a girl. I’m in so much pain I could die. Brother Monkey, why haven’t you come back yet?"

Sha Wujing brought over a bowl of hot water and said with concern, "Second Brother, drink more hot water."

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong flew towards the South. His Eyes of Golden Flame shone brightly. Covering twenty or thirty miles in no time, indeed, he discovered Divine Light shining through a forest, without a trace of Demon Qi.

Sun Wukong immediately descended from Cloud Head and landed before a Divine Palace. The palace was majestic, with cinnabar walls and purple tiles. Divine Light flickered through like lightning, and in front of the gates, two stone lion statues sat coiled in might and dignity, infused with divine charm, as if ready to pounce out at any moment.

Sun Wukong looked up at the plaque of the main hall. His eyes flashed with surprise, murmuring, "Martial Might Divine Weapon Hall – isn’t this the name of the Divine Palace in the Heavenly Soldiers Divine Palace under Gouchen Heavenly Gods? How did it end up here?"

A thought flashed through his mind; could it be that the deity who occupied the Spring of Abortion years ago was a divine being from the Heavenly Court? What for? To massacre in the Lower Realm without fear of the Judicial Celestial descending to earth?

Curiosity rose within Sun Wukong. He turned on the spot, instantly transforming into a Judicial Celestial appearance. He walked briskly, taking three steps at a time and knocked on the doors of the great hall, calling out, "Open up! Open up!"

"Who dares to make such a racket?" A commanding voice boomed.

With a rumble, the doors opened wide, and two Heavenly Soldiers in silver armor and white capes stood within, holding Long Spears and looking outside with authority.

As soon as the two valiant Heavenly Soldiers saw Sun Wukong, their faces changed dramatically, hurriedly bowing with clasped fists and respectfully saying, "I pay my respects to the Judicial Celestial!"

Truly Heavenly Soldiers from the Heavenly Court—not Evil Spirits in disguise—Sun Wukong was also somewhat incredulous as he carried his hands behind his back, puffed out his chest, and walked inside.

Upon entering the hall, Sun Wukong immediately saw a water well situated in the courtyard, next to which stood a stele inscribed with three big characters ’Spring of Abortion’.

The two Heavenly Soldiers followed Sun Wukong closely as he walked inside.

One of the soldiers nervously asked, "May Divine know what brings you here, do you have any commands?"

The authority of the Judicial Celestial was not something that a mere soldier like him could compare with – even if we had made a mistake, it wouldn’t warrant the Judicial Celestial himself to come and capture us!

Sun Wukong gave a strange chuckle, then shouted sternly, "As Heavenly Soldiers, how dare you cause trouble in the mortal world? Occupying the Spiritual Spring and charging a fee, how bold are you? Are you not afraid of the Golden Hoop striking down upon you?"

The two soldiers were startled at first, then their expressions turned odd.

One of the soldiers respectfully said, "Divine may not be aware, but we two are stationed here by the decree of Gouchen Palace."

Sun Wukong, surprised, said, "Gouchen Palace’s decree?"

"Yes! Guarding the Spring of Abortion is a mission given out by the Gouchen Emperor Palace. Every hundred years, two Heavenly Soldiers are assigned to guard it in the Lower Realm, and are not to give away the spring water to the people of Daughter Country lightly."

"Why? This Spring of Abortion should be of no use to Gouchen Palace, right? Could it be that Emperor Gouchen would covet some mortal wealth?"

"Of that, I am not certain. We are also just following orders."

The two soldiers stood respectfully in front of Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong glanced at the Spring of Abortion. His eyes flashed suspiciously twice. That old woman certainly wasn’t telling the truth; could she be trying to deceive Old Sun? He chuckled and said, "What if Old Sun wants to use this Spring of Abortion?"

One of the soldiers respectfully said, "Naturally, that is possible!"

Sun Wukong leaped to the front of the Spring of Abortion, plucked one of his hairs, blew on it, and said, "Change!" Instantly, the hair turned into a ladle. He scooped up a bowl of water and soared to the sky.

The two Heavenly Soldiers then respectfully rose to their feet.

One of the Heavenly Soldiers let out a sigh and said with wonder: "To think we’d bump into the Judicial Celestial here, what luck is this!"

"Hey~ That’s Sun Wukong, he’s protecting Tang Sanzang on his journey to the Western Heaven to obtain the scriptures. It’s not strange for them to pass by here."

"Is that the Great Sage Equalling Heaven? It’s my first time seeing him." The soldier’s eyes lit up with curiosity and he said, "Sun Wukong came for the Spring of Abortion, do you think it’s because someone drank from the Mother and Child River?"

The other soldier stroked his chin, pondering: "That’s indeed possible!

This matter has nothing to do with us, we just need to guard the Spring of Abortion well, and the hundred years will soon pass."

Before the tavern, a strand of Jing Guang flew down and landed at the entrance.

Sun Wukong ran in with a ladle, laughing heartily, "Little monk, Bajie, I, your Old Sun, have brought back the Spring of Abortion."

A few women exchanged glances and smiled. With this difficulty resolved, Tang Sanzang would completely sever familial ties and perfect his Buddha mind.

Sun Wukong hopped to the bedside, handed the ladle to Tang Sanzang, and said with a smile: "Little monk, quickly drink the Spring of Abortion."

Tang Sanzang took the ladle, his face pale with pain, and brought it close to his mouth. The image of a little girl in his mind became clearer, smiling at him, running towards him with open arms, wanting to embrace him.

Suddenly, a large sword appeared above the girl’s head, and as the sword fell, blood splattered.

"No~" Tang Sanzang let out a cry of alarm, and the ladle in his hand was suddenly thrown away.

Clatter~ The ladle fell to the ground, spilling the Spring of Abortion all over. Check latest chapters at NoveIＦire.net

Everyone inside the room was stunned. What was this situation?

The women also looked at Tang Sanzang. This sudden change was beyond their expectations. Their eyelids twitched erratically, as normal men were supposed to drink the Spring of Abortion eagerly. Why did Tang Sanzang discard it?

"Uh~ Little monk, what are you doing? This is the water I, your Old Sun, got after much hardship," Sun Wukong complained dissatisfied.

Tang Sanzang, clutching his belly, said in agony: "Wukong, I have thought it over, a monk... harbors compassion, follows many precepts, the most heinous of which is taking life.

Since she has come into my belly, we must have a connection, how could I harm her life?"

"Uh~" Sun Wukong scratched his head and nodded in understanding: "The Immortal Dao values life, and has boundless capacity to save beings, what you said does make sense."

Zhu Bajie wailed: "Master, if you don’t want to drink it, at least give it to me! How could you spill it like that? It’s killing me, your Old Pig doesn’t want to give birth to piglets."

Sun Wukong wasn’t in a hurry, but the old lady and those two or three women began to panic first.

The old lady said anxiously: "Elder, please reconsider! It is unheard of for a man to give birth, if something goes wrong, what should we do?"

"Yes, elder, best to abort the child!"

"Elder, what if there’s danger?"

Sun Wukong waved his hands dismissively and shouted: "Go, go, go~ Go play over there. It’s just a matter of childbirth, your Old Sun is fully capable.

Little monk, rest assured, I will go to the Heavenly Court right away and ask the Medical God to come down."
