Chapter 1110: Youyu City Does Not Welcome Monks
Chapter 1110 Youyu City does not welcome monks
(Many people are asking about the chapter that was in the dark room yesterday. They probably thought it was at the back. In fact, it was Chapter 1106. But you read the back first, so you didn’t notice that the front was released. (

There were many people traveling together, and because of Tang Seng's extraordinary appearance, people soon started chatting with them.
"Master and the others are monks, right? Are you also planning to go to the Youyu City?"
The people who spoke to Tang Monk were a father and a son, an old man and a young man. They were originally farmers at the foot of Ji Lei Mountain, so they would go to the city to set up stalls every day to do business.
The Jade-faced Fox was extremely tolerant of the original villagers, not only allocating them corresponding open space for business, but also never charging rental fees.
It is also because of the rise of Youyu City that the villagers who originally lived at the foot of the mountain are getting richer and richer. Even in the disaster years, no one died in their village.
Nowadays, there are about two hundred households in the village at the foot of Jilei Mountain. Many monsters and humans who come to Youyu City like to call the Jade-faced Fox "Jade-faced City Lord" or "Jade-faced Princess".
However, their local farmers like to call the jade-faced fox "Jade-faced Fox Fairy".
There is no other, because the Lord of Youyu City not only has a beautiful face that confuses all living beings, but also has a heart like a Bodhisattva.
Even the farmers at the foot of the mountain knew that the Jade-faced Fox was kind to them, so they all voluntarily set up immortality tablets for the Jade-faced Fox.
"You are polite, elder. These poor monks and stubborn disciples are indeed from the Tang Dynasty in the east, and are preparing to go to the west to worship Buddha and seek scriptures.
Now I am passing through Ji Lei Mountain and heard about the city where humans and monsters coexist, so I am fascinated and want to enter the city to watch the grand event."
When he heard that the four masters and disciples of Monk Tang were actually monks, and they were eminent monks from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, instead of ordinary fake monks, the old man's expression became strange again.
However, after seeing that Tang Seng and the others were indeed not evil people, the old man sighed helplessly and said, "I believe that the Master and the others are not evil people, so I still give you a piece of advice.
You'd better take a detour, because with your outfit, we might not be able to pass this Youyu City..."
Bypassing Youyu City? That is equivalent to going around the entire Jilei Mountain. For the four monks on foot, it would take several months.
The time for Buddhist scriptures agreed upon with Emperor Tang had already exceeded by far, so Tang Monk was naturally unwilling to waste time again at this moment.
"Why did I say this? Could it be that the rumors about Youyu City are all lies?"
It could be seen that the old man seemed to be very familiar with Youyu City, so Tang Monk hurriedly asked again.
"In Youyu City, humans and monsters can indeed coexist harmoniously. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the best city in the world, but..."
"Dad, it's getting late. If we don't walk faster, the good stalls will be taken away by others."
The old man originally wanted to continue explaining something to Tang Seng, but the son behind him suddenly grabbed the old man and urged his father to leave quickly.
After being reminded by his child, the old man apparently realized that he had almost made a big mistake.
They are all villagers who rely on Youyu City to live and enjoy the benefits brought by the Lord of Youyu City. If they are not chatting about the Lord here, other bankers will be blacklisted.
Looking at the banker and his son leaving in a hurry, Tang Seng's expression became even more confused.
The monkey, who has both ears and eyes, secretly heard what the father and son said when they left. At this moment, he was very curious about this so-called "jade-faced fox fairy".
How come the Monkey King, Monkey King, had never heard of this person when he was living in the demon world?
The other party actually has such great power that all the humans and monsters along the way respect it from the bottom of their hearts.
Although they were full of doubts, they still had to walk. After hiking for another hour, the four masters and disciples also saw the so-called "Youyu City".
The city in front of them is a hundred feet high, with a vermillion-lacquered gate at the entrance. A large number of siege crossbows are mounted above the city, and below are many demon soldiers in military uniforms, inspecting people entering the city.
"Hey, dear, this is a big deal. I, Old Zhu, have seen quite a few cities, but the scale and foundation of Youyu City, even compared to the four major gates of Heaven, are too much to give in to."
Compared with Tang Seng who only saw the tallness and grandeur of the city, Zhu Bajie and the others obviously saw much more.
The red lacquered gate at the city gate and the siege crossbows above the city, if they saw it correctly, should all be magic weapons of a very good level.
As for the demon soldiers guarding the city, they are actually semi-transformed spirits that have reached the realm of "human immortals".
To put it bluntly, Sun Wukong and his four masters and disciples have never seen a monster with such great skill since their journey to the west.
After a brief shock, in order to enter the city as quickly as possible, the four masters and disciples of Tang Seng also lined up obediently with the large team, waiting for the inspection of the demon soldiers guarding the city.
However, when it was almost their turn, Tang Seng suddenly realized that something was wrong.
That is, when other people enter the city, they seem to have to pay a certain entry fee.
The amount seemed small, only about five pennies. However, they were monks and they were alone. They couldn't even afford a penny, let alone twenty pennies.
And when the team finally reached the turn of Tang Seng and the four of them, Tang Seng originally wanted to use his identity as an eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty in the East to see if he could make it easier for the other party.
But who knew that Tang Seng hadn't spoken yet, and when the demon soldiers guarding the city saw the actions of Tang Seng, his master and his disciples, they immediately showed a vigilant look on their faces.
"You are monks? How dare you come to this Youyu City?"
When a demon soldier saw Tang Monk and the four of them, he was obviously very repelled by them. He picked up the weapon in his hand and was about to take action, but was stopped by the captain on the side.
"Everyone, due to some reasons, our city lord doesn't like to deal with monks, so this Youyu City is not willing to be like you, an eminent monk.
Please also leave on your own and don’t make it difficult for me to wait.”
To be honest, the words and deeds of the demon soldier team leader were quite polite, but what he said still instantly angered the monkey next to Tang Monk.
Thinking of him as the Great Sage Qitian, no one in the Three Realms would give him a little face. Before, he could just wait in line with his master.
Now the team has been queuing for most of the day. Since the other party said that monks are not welcome here and asked them to leave as soon as possible, is this deliberately embarrassing him, the Monkey King?
Seeing Sun Wukong take out the golden cudgel and raising it to hit the opponent, Tang Monk also quickly took action to stop him.
The city lord Youyu built this city, allowing monsters and humans to coexist in the same city. It was a rare feat. Moreover, from the previous words and deeds of passers-by, Tang Seng also knew that this city lord was definitely not an evil monster, so naturally he could not let the monkeys turn against each other at this moment.
"I, Old Sun, am the Monkey King of Water Curtain Cave in Huaguo Mountain. Your city lord must also be a monster. Are you sure he is not even willing to give Old Sun three thin noodles?"
Seeing that Tang Monk was about to recite the tightening curse, Sun Wukong could only put down his stick. Since force was not feasible, he would use his connections.
