Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters escape plan
"You can't say that, after all, people have never said that you don't want to be a country from beginning to end. I think it's better to love the country and beauties, because his illness is indeed caused by the illness." Tang Sanzang shook his head with a smile. He had a good impression of King Zhu Zi. Such an emperor is undoubtedly a good thing for the people.
Everyone went to bed and got up early the next morning. After washing up, Sun Wukong and the others did not come back. So after having breakfast, they rode their horses toward the west with the king and five or six guards.
"Master Tang Sanzang, the two masters have not returned overnight, nothing will happen, right?" The king rode beside Tang Sanzang, looking at Tang Sanzang with some concern.
Tang Sanzang smiled and comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Wukong and Tian Peng are still quite powerful, and Tian Peng is very alert and has not returned overnight, which means that the monster's strength should be above them, so he did not take action to save the queen. However, since he is in the monster cave, he can naturally protect the queen. Today we arrived at Qiyun Mountain, and we cooperated inside and outside, and we will definitely be able to rescue the queen."
"Master himself is very worried, right?" Luo Xi looked at the worry between Tang Sanzang's eyebrows and eyes, and said with a strange expression.
"Yes, Master always acts calmly, but he is actually more worried than us." Ao Xiaobai nodded as well.
"Second Senior Sister has taken her subordinates across the hinterland of the demon clan. She has strong adaptability. Now she is just in a monster cave, so there will definitely be no problem." Sha Wanjing said confidently.
Everyone traveled westward, changing horses every 80 miles, but they simply stopped to eat some dry food at noon, so not long after the afternoon, a towering mountain appeared in everyone's sight.
"Master, there is Qiyun Mountain." The king pulled his horse and pointed to the mountains in the distance and said.
Tang Sanzang looked and narrowed his eyes slightly. The mountain was thousands of feet high, as if it was rising from the ground, towering on the sky. On the top of the mountain, surrounded by white clouds, it really had a bit of a cloud-like momentum.
At the foot of the mountain, there were yellow smoke rolling, as if it was on fire, gathering but not dispersing, looking a little gloomy, unlike a good place. And before it was approached, you could feel countless demonic auras. It can be seen that many monsters gathered on the mountain.
"Last year I personally led a large army here, but I couldn't even pass the valley covered by thick smoke. Finally, I returned in a mess and lost thousands of soldiers in vain. Later, I sent some scouts to spy on the news. Most of them were unable to enter the mountains, and many of them disappeared directly, mostly because of the mouths of those monsters. So I didn't spy on the slightest useful news. I just used the memories of some old people nearby to draw a rough map of Qiyun Mountain. No one has ever gone in to verify it yet." The king said again, looking at the mountain, clenched his fists.
The guards behind him looked at the mountain with a little horror in their eyes. The legend about Qiyun Mountain had long been spread in the army. Anyway, the people sent here have basically been declared dead. They are guarding the passing Majesty today, and they will have to come if they don’t come. They can only hope that His Majesty will not think about entering Qiyun Mountain, and at least they may save their lives.
"Show me the map." Tang Sanzang nodded.
"Map." The king said to the guard behind him.
A guard stepped forward and held a roll of map in his hands and handed it to Tang Sanzang.
Tang Sanzang opened the map and it was a simple picture, but he also marked the trends of the mountains and rivers and some special places on the mountains clearly, so it can still be used.
"Okay, Your Majesty, since the thick smoke is too harmful to you, you can wait here now. Now I don't know how my two disciples are in the monster cave, so we are going to go to the mountain to call. There will definitely be many monsters appear at that time. I'm afraid that I won't be able to protect you at that time, but I will be involved in the experience and it's hard to save the Queen." Tang Sanzang rerolled the map and said to the king.
"This..." The king showed a hesitation on his face. He looked at the mountain and obviously wanted to go there in person. However, looking at Tang Sanzang's expression didn't look like a joke, he nodded and said, "Then it's time for the masters."
Tang Sanzang nodded, whipped the white horse under his crotch with a whip in his hand, and rushed towards Qi Yunshan first. Sha Wanjing and the others also rushed out.
The guards rushed forward, holding the long sword at their waists, looking alert, but they also breathed a sigh of relief. They might have died if they took a breath of poisonous smoke, so how dare they act rashly?
At this moment, in the back mountain of Qiyun Mountain, Wei Zhitong was pulling a rope tied with cloth strips, preparing to make the 18th attempt to go down the mountain.
The first seventeen times failed, and fifteen of them ended in falling. Each time a banshee appeared and rescued her back to the mountain. Anyway, no matter how you fell, it would be fine, but if you didn't put her down the mountain, no matter how she threatened, the banshees didn't dare to help.
"I tell you, you should put the rope slowly later. Don't put it too fast. If it's too fast, I will fall down. This cloth strip just can reach the end. I just finished the meal. I should have this little strength, right?" Wei Zhitong said to the palace maids.
At this moment, all the palace maids stood by the mountain with fear on their faces, holding cloth strips in their hands, as if holding a life-threatening rope. However, when they looked at Wei Zhitong's serious expression, they could only nod helplessly and responded: "Yes."
"Okay, let's put it aside." Wei Zhitong nodded with satisfaction, wrapped the cloth strip around her body for a few times, then grabbed the rope with one hand, walked slowly downwards with her body perpendicular to the stone wall, her eyes half open and half closed, and she still seemed a little scared, but after falling down so many times, nothing would happen anyway, so she would be much more relieved and bold.
Sun Wukong and Zhu Tianpeng stood in the front. They looked at each other and nodded. Sun Wukong took a half step forward, while holding the rope in his hand, while looking at Wei Zhitong who had been walking down a while. The two banshees were flying beside her, with a very focused expression, afraid that she would bump into her.
Such escape scenes are really rare. No matter how you look at them, it looks like a farce, and the demon king's favor for Wei Zhitong is also evident.
Just as Wei Zhitong fell to halfway, Sun Wukong's finger gently stroked the tight cloth strip, and a stinging sound, the cloth strip broke directly. Wei Zhitong exclaimed and fell directly downward. The palace maid who was holding the cloth strip tightly behind him also fell backwards and exclaimed a burst of exclamations.
