Chapter 646 Learning from the Scriptures
Chutian's Journey to the West
Chu Tian was an ordinary office worker, busy all day in the hustle and bustle of the city, living an ordinary and slightly boring life. However, the gears of fate turned quietly on a seemingly ordinary night. It was a thunderstorm night, and Chu Tian worked overtime until late before going home. Walking on the deserted street, the strong wind carried raindrops and whipped him wantonly. Suddenly, a dazzling lightning broke through the night sky, followed by a deafening thunder explosion above his head. Chu Tian's eyes went dark and he lost consciousness. When Chu Tian regained consciousness again, he found himself in a wilderness. The surrounding mountains were undulating, the trees were shady, and the air was filled with the fresh fragrance of plants and trees, which was completely different from the atmosphere of the city. He rubbed his head and tried to recall what happened, but he couldn't figure out why he was here. Just as Chu Tian was full of doubts, a noisy voice came from a distance. He looked closely and saw four figures walking towards him. The leader was a kind-faced monk in a monk's robe, riding a white horse; behind the monk was a monkey with a sharp mouth and chin and fiery eyes, jumping and waving a golden hoop in his hand; behind was a fat monk with a fat head and big ears, carrying a nine-toothed rake; and finally a burly man holding a magic staff to subdue demons. Chu Tian was shocked. Why did these four people look so familiar? After thinking carefully, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. Aren't these the four masters and apprentices of Tang Monk in "Journey to the West"? He pinched himself hard, and the pain made him realize that he was not dreaming. The four masters and apprentices of Tang Monk walked up to Chu Tian and stopped. Tang Monk clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Amitabha, this donor, why are you here alone? You look like you came from afar. Have you encountered any difficulties?" Chu Tian calmed down and roughly told the story of how he inexplicably traveled here. Sun Wukong jumped in front of Chu Tian, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "Interesting, interesting. I have lived for so many years, but this is the first time I have met someone who traveled from another world." Zhu Bajie also came over and grinned and said: "Hehe, maybe this kid was sent by God to entertain us." Sha Seng smiled honestly and said nothing. Chu Tian looked at the four characters in front of him who had only seen them in books and on TV. The tension in his heart gradually dissipated, and was replaced by an inexplicable excitement. He thought that since he came to this world, he might as well follow them to experience this wonderful journey to the West to obtain scriptures. So he asked Tang Seng, hoping to follow them. Seeing Chu Tian's sincere words and feeling that his life experience was pitiful, Tang Seng nodded and agreed. From then on, Chu Tian joined the team of Tang Seng and his disciples and embarked on the journey to the West to obtain scriptures together. Along the way, he fought side by side with Sun Wukong and others to subdue demons and monsters. Although he did not have the magical powers of Sun Wukong, nor the skills of Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng, he relied on the knowledge he learned in modern society and his flexible mind to help many times at critical moments. Once, they passed through a deep mountain, which was filled with strange fog and made it difficult to tell the direction. Sun Wukong used his fire eyes, but he could not see through the fog. Just when everyone was at a loss, Chu Tian remembered that he had seen a method of using the sun and trees to distinguish directions in a book on survival in the wild. He observed the growth of branches and leaves of the surrounding trees, and inferred the approximate position of the sun based on the time. Finally, he pointed out the direction for everyone and successfully walked out of the foggy mountain. Another time, they encountered a monster who could use illusions. The monster created countless phantoms and surrounded everyone, putting them in chaos. Although Sun Wukong and others fought hard, they could not get out of the predicament for a while. Chu Tian had an idea. He remembered that in modern society, strong light can interfere with some optical illusions. So, he asked Sun Wukong to use his magical powers to create a strong light. Sure enough, the monster's illusion was broken by the strong light, revealing its true form, and was eventually beaten to death by Sun Wukong. As time went by, Chu Tian's feelings for Tang Seng and his four disciples became deeper and deeper. They experienced countless hardships and dangers together, and every adventure gave Chu Tian a deeper understanding of this magical world. One day, they came to a big river. The river water was clear and flowing slowly, but there was no boat on the river. Tang Seng looked at the river with a worried look on his face: "What should we do? Without a boat, how can we cross the river?" Just when everyone was worried, a small boat came from the other side of the river. The rower was a young and beautiful woman. When she saw Tang Seng and his disciples, she showed a look of surprise on her face. The woman rowed the boat to the shore and said, "Several monks, the country of women is ahead. If you want to cross the river, you must drink the river water first." After hearing this, everyone looked puzzled. The woman explained, "This river is called Zi Mu River. Anyone who drinks this water will get pregnant. But in the country of women, there is a spring of miscarriage. If you don't want to have a baby, drinking the water from the spring will solve the problem." Sun Wukong jumped up and shouted, "What kind of weird place is this? You can get pregnant by drinking the water? I don't want to try it." Zhu Bajie laughed and said, "Hehe, if I can give birth to a piglet, it might be fun." Chu Tian also thought that this was too bizarre, but he knew that if he wanted to cross the river, he could only do what the woman said. So, after discussing with Tang Monk and his disciples, he decided to drink the river water first to cross the river, and then look for the spring of miscarriage after arriving in the country of women. Not long after everyone drank the river water, they all felt something strange in their bodies. Tang Sanzang's belly began to swell slightly, and Zhu Bajie rolled on the ground in pain, shouting, "Oh, it hurts so much, what should I do?" Although Chu Tian also felt a little uncomfortable, he still endured it and comforted everyone, "Don't panic, let's get to the Kingdom of Women as soon as possible and find the Fountain of Abortion, and everything will be fine." Everyone took a small boat and came to the Kingdom of Women. As soon as they entered the city, they were stunned by the scene in front of them. The streets were bustling with women, all of whom were beautiful and graceful. When they saw Tang Sanzang, his disciples and others, they all cast curious eyes. The king of the Kingdom of Women heard that several monks were coming, and personally led the ministers out of the city to welcome them. When the king saw Tang Sanzang, he was immediately attracted by his handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament, and secretly developed a love for him.
