Chapter 757: Chapter 757
Tang Sanzang said weakly, "Wukong, thank you."
"Hey~ Brother Monkey, could you first get the Spring of Abortion for me? I really don’t want to have children."
Tang Sanzang’s mind stirred, a man giving birth was unprecedented in the history of the Three Realms, how could this be a burden only for him to bear? No matter what, he had to drag someone down with him to share the responsibility.
Tang Sanzang immediately said solemnly, "In the Buddha Sect, Bajie, the first precept is not to kill, the second is not to steal, the third is not to commit misconduct, the fourth is not to lie, the fifth is not to drink alcohol, the sixth is not to wear garlands, the seventh is not to sit on large and high luxurious beds, and the eighth is not to eat at inappropriate times.
Bajie, when I first gave you this Dharma name, it was in the hope that you would strictly adhere to these eight precepts and become a true disciple of our Buddha Sect.
But now you think of killing and harming life, even your own daughter, I’m extremely disheartened!
Such actions are no different from that of a demon, our Buddha Sect cannot tolerate such a cruel person."
"Hey~ my Master, you’re really putting Old Pig in a tight spot! Which man in the Three Realms has ever given birth?"
"Not even a male pig!" Fınd the newest release on novel⦿fire.net
Sun Wukong laughed heartily and said, "My take is the little monk has a point, little monk, pig head, you guys wait here, Old Sun is going to find you a midwife."
Sun Wukong hopped and jumped his way outside, filled with great joy at the thought of adding to the family.
The few women inside exchanged glances, anxiety in their eyes. Oh no, how could things start slipping out of control? How did Tang Sanzang even come to think of having a child? Normally, shouldn’t he be considering an abortion?
The women quietly exchanged looks again, annoyance in their eyes, saying it all without words, they must make Tang Sanzang have an abortion.
Sun Wukong ran outside, flipped upward straight to the Nine Heavens on his Somersault Cloud, fast as light, heading towards the Heavenly Court.
Moments later, Sun Wukong, with a Medical God dressed in a green divine robe, descended slowly from the sky. It was the Heavenly Court’s Medical God Zhang Zhongjing.
Above the clouds, Sun Wukong grinned and said, "Medical God, my Master and junior brother are now pregnant, could you please help them deliver the children?"
Zhang Zhongjing, stroking his beard, chuckled and said, "I’ve never seen a man give birth, but let me have a look first. However, it should not be a big issue."
Sun Wukong gave his thanks with a fist and palm salute, pointed downward, and said, "We’re here!"
They descended towards the ground.
Sun Wukong and Zhang Zhongjing walked into the tavern. Inside, Tang Sanzang and Zhu Bajie were groaning and moaning, while three women were bustling around taking care of them.
When Zhu Bajie saw Zhang Zhongjing, he quickly complained, "Medical God, quickly take a look at Old Pig, I’m in so much pain. Give me the abortion pill and let the child within me be gone!"
Tang Sanzang, enduring the pain, rebuked, "How dare you! If you dare to have an abortion, I will, on behalf of Buddhism, expel you from the Buddha Sect, and I shall be at odds with you for this lifetime."
Zhang Zhongjing walked over, cupped his hands with a smile and said, "Marshal, please allow me to take your pulse first."
"Hurry up, hurry up." Zhu Bajie urged constantly, stretching out his chubby hand.
The Medical God Zhang Zhongjing walked over, sat beside the bed, placed his hand on Zhu Bajie’s wrist for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Marshal, this is undoubtedly a happy pulse, congratulations Marshal for the joyful addition of a baby girl."
Zhu Bajie grimaced and said, "You old quack, stop making fun of Old Pig here, just prescribe some medicine for Old Pig to get this child aborted."
Tang Sanzang immediately exclaimed, "No, you can’t abort this child, killing one’s own child is worse than beasts; Divine Doctor, you must not listen to him."
Sun Wukong also laughed "hehe" and said, "That’s right, Divine Doctor, don’t listen to him. This child must be born, and she could also be considered my niece."
"This~" Zhang Zhongjing hesitated.
Zhu Bajie cried out in pain, "Damn monkey, if you want a child, you give birth to one. It’s killing me."
Zhang Zhongjing said, "Marshal, Saint Monk, let me first prescribe you some fetus-preserving medicine to alleviate the Marshal and Saint Monk’s pain. As for whether or not to give birth to this child, the Marshal and Saint Monk can discuss slowly."
Zhu Bajie urged, "Go on, quickly go and decoct the medicine."
Tang Sanzang also said in pain, "I appreciate your assistance, Divine Doctor."
Zhang Zhongjing looked towards the ladies with a kind smile and said, "May I borrow your backyard for a moment?"
One of the ladies quickly flattered, "Heavenly God please follow me, I would like to boil water for Heavenly God." She stepped aside, gesturing with her hand, leading Zhang Zhongjing towards the back.
"Eh~" Sun Wukong let out a soft eh, sizing up the woman, a flash of light in his eyes, how odd, these women are very strange, they can still be composed in front of Immortal Gods.
Over the years on the Westward Journey, Sun Wukong had seen many mortals; not to mention the common folks, even kings would lose their composure in front of Immortal Gods.
But she, she still managed to maintain propriety and politeness, and although her attitude seemed very respectful towards Immortal Gods, Sun Wukong could vaguely feel that they didn’t seem to revere them.
Although his Eyes of Golden Flame did not detect anything amiss, Sun Wukong still trusted his own instincts — there was definitely something off about this person.
Now, Sun Wukong was no longer the blindly self-confident Sun Wukong of the past. So what if Eyes of Golden Flame didn’t notice anything? There were too many evil spirits on this Westward Journey that had gone undetected. The waters of the Three Realms run deep, and Eyes of Golden Flame are not omnipotent.
Sun Wukong quietly glanced at the remaining women, noticing they stood against the wall. Though they appeared very respectful, their expressions were calm, and they didn’t exhibit the fanaticism upon seeing Immortal Gods. They also didn’t come forward begging for promotions, wealth, or domestic bliss – it seemed they didn’t really revere Immortal Gods, or perhaps they didn’t find us worth their reverence.
Sun Wukong, although often impulsive and belligerent, was very shrewd when he put his mind to it; if they thought they could deceive me, they’d have to wait another twenty thousand years!
Not long after, the Divine Doctor Zhang Zhongjing came carrying two bowls of decoction, smiling as he approached the bed and said, "Saint Monk, Marshal, the fetus-preserving medicine is ready, please drink up!"
That woman quietly returned to her place and nodded at the other women. All the other ladies revealed a smile, with the abortion spring water added to the fetus-preserving medicine, the child should be aborted. Really, who was it that had the mischievous idea of complicating things with the Mother and Child River water, it was unnecessary trouble, but good thing we’re smart.
Tang Sanzang and Zhu Bajie both reached for the bowl of medicine, in unbearable pain.
Sun Wukong immediately shouted, "Wait a minute~"
Zhang Zhongjing suddenly paused and looked curiously at Sun Wukong, inquiring, "Great Saint, is there something not right?"
Sun Wukong stepped forward, took the two bowls of medicine, and sniffed them; they seemed to have no peculiar smell.
