127 Chapter 127 (Part of the film review of "The Kingdom of Women")
Riding on the popularity of the news that "the male lead successfully overcame the tribulation and advanced to the God Transformation Stage", the early promotion of "The Monkey King 3" began in full swing. Various behind-the-scenes footage and trailers were flying all over the Internet, showing the queen's stunning beauty and various interactions with Taoist Tang. The netizens were so shocked that they were waiting for the movie to be released so that they could watch this extraordinary love story.
"The Queen of the Kingdom of Women, who has never seen a man, and the ascetic monk who practices the ruthless way and cuts off all emotions and love, this is too good to be true!"
"I want to see the Bold Queen bravely pursue love! Go ahead, Your Majesty! Let that ungrateful monk fall at your feet!"
"Doesn't anyone like that Scorpion Queen? She's so beautiful and charming, and the way she wraps herself around Taoist Tang is so sexy!"
"Is this still a love triangle? Damn it! Why does a guy who practices the ruthless way get to eat so well? What a waste!"
"Queen, go! Defeat the Scorpion Demon and get your husband back!"
"Scorpion Spirit! Scorpion Spirit! I support the Scorpion Spirit! The sexy fairy and the serious Taoist priest are the perfect match!"
Ning Shu, who was watching secretly with a trumpet: ...
My goodness, the movie hasn’t even been released yet and the fans of both sides are already at odds with each other!
When she thought of the expressions of these people sitting in the cinema, she couldn't help but smile evilly.
In this way, with many netizens looking forward to it, the movie "The Monkey King 3: Kingdom of Women" was finally released simultaneously in all theaters.
Once again, a long line formed outside the Chaoyin City cinema. Many cultivators, filled with longing for love, entered the theater. This time, Qi Ling finally didn't have to sneak around like last time. He walked up to the ticket office with his head held high and his chest puffed out. "One movie ticket, please... give me a seat in the middle of row seven."
A cultivator behind him recognized him and asked, "Eh? Are you from Tianyan Sect also here to watch a movie?"
"What's the big deal? The Tianyan Sect cultivator is the male lead! And just a few days ago, that Wuqing Dao cultivator passed the tribulation and was promoted in the Hehuan Sect. You didn't know about this big news?"
"Oh, I know, it's not that the two families have suddenly become so harmonious, I'm not used to it..."
Humph! Actually, wasn't the first drama also a co-production between our Tianyan Sect and the Hehuan Sect? You guys better get used to it! Qi Ling snorted inwardly with a haughty air, and walked into the cinema with a pride that he couldn't quite understand.
Ah, I've been bored for ages since Senior Brother Ji and Zi Qiu went into seclusion together. Finally, there's a new couple to support in this movie! Should I support the Queen or the Scorpion? I'm so torn. Maybe I should just watch the movie first and enjoy the beautiful love...
When Qi Ling was daydreaming about the future, the lights on the ceiling of the cinema suddenly dimmed. The monks who were already accustomed to it stopped chatting, and the big screen finally lit up.
"Long, long ago, there was a devout Taoist priest named Tang from the Tianyan Sect who desired to attain enlightenment and thereby save the world from all suffering.
To prove his resolve to save all living things to the Heavenly Dao, he sealed away all his magical powers, vowing to endure the sufferings of the mortal world in his mortal form, and never to stop until he achieved the Dao of Ascension. Along the way, he journeyed through mountains and rivers, and took in three like-minded demon cultivators.
A solemn and melancholic voiceover accompanied the brief comic book synopsis. Suddenly, the figures in the ink painting on the screen began to move. The camera zoomed in, and the painting instantly transformed into four identical real people walking. The narration gradually became distant:
"Suddenly one day, the four of them, the master and his disciples, came to a strange place..."
It looked like the four of them had been walking along a clear, wide river for a long time. The scorching midday summer sun was melting them. Even though Taoist Tang's mortal body was already thirsty, he was the first to stop.
"Wukong, bring me my bowl. I need to go to the river to fetch some water to quench my thirst."
The monkey demon named Wukong, wearing a short Taoist uniform, somersaulted to the riverside, leaning on his hands to gaze into the distance. After a moment, he came back skipping and jumping.
"Master, there's no one here, and we don't know if the river water is clean. It would be bad if you get sick from drinking it. Why don't you be patient for a while and wait until we meet a family to ask for some water?"
Taoist Priest Tang was also a little hesitant when he heard this. After all, his mortal body was no match for the immortal cultivators. However, the pig demon disciple behind him could not care less. He snatched the bowl and ran towards the river while saying:
"What's unclean about it? We're out there, why should we be so particular? Master, please wait a moment. I'll go get you some water!"
Looking at his charging figure, the monkey demon named Wukong couldn't help but laugh: "That idiot, he won't come back until he's had enough to drink!"
Although it's only been a few minutes since the beginning, the personalities of these four people have already begun to emerge. The monkey demon is really as smart and agile as a monkey, the pig demon is really as greedy and stupid as a pig, and Taoist Tang looks like a soft-hearted person. Didn't he see that the pig demon only gave him a few words of advice and then he drank the water again?
Aren't there three disciples? What about the other one?
Just when the audience was puzzled, the camera finally gave the last shot, a burly man carrying luggage. It was hard to tell whether this man was a demon. He looked like a simple and honest man with a big beard. Facing the water bowl handed by the pig demon, he took a step back, his expression firm as if he was worshiping a god:
"Big Brother said I can't drink, so I won't drink."
After saying this, he fell silent again, and the camera naturally shifted to the pig demon and monkey demon chasing and fighting each other.
Audience: I understand. This is an honest man with little presence.
After the audience had a general understanding of these people, the plot continued to move forward. The four masters and apprentices soon met a farmer's family living at the foot of the city wall. An old woman over fifty years old was walking into the house tremblingly with a cane.
Taoist Priest Tang stopped the mischievous monkey demon from greeting him to avoid scaring him. He straightened his clothes and bowed to the old woman, "Excuse me, old lady..."
"Ah!" Who would have thought that the old woman would scream and take a step back as soon as she heard the sound. When she saw Elder Tang's appearance clearly, she was so shocked that her crutches dropped. She ran towards the city with a speed and posture that was very outrageous for her age, shouting as she ran:
“Ah! The human race is coming! The human race is coming!”
Taoist Priest Tang: ...
Audience: ...
Men and women alike were all confused by the word. A monk with a goatee was full of questions: "Race? What does that mean?"
A female cultivator sitting in front of him covered her mouth and stifled a laugh: "I've heard that those mortals who raise livestock in the mortal world call the boars and bulls used for breeding at home "breeding pigs" and "breeding bulls". By analogy, this race of people is probably... hehe..."
The male cultivators present turned pale when they heard this, and sat on their chairs, hugging their thin bodies and trembling.
"Oh, how terrifying! Are we just a bunch of that in the eyes of the female cultivators in the Hehuan Sect?"
"Is it my imagination? I feel like I'm not being treated as a human being..."
"I was wondering why the female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect always look so arrogant. I even wondered what they were so proud of. Now I think they might be proud of the difference between humans and animals..."
"The Hehuan Sect is so terrifying..."
It turns out that the real horror is yet to come.
Following the old woman's cry of "The humans are coming!", soon all the people in the city, whether old or young, ran out to watch the fun. They were all women without exception, and they surrounded the four masters and apprentices as if they had seen something rare. Soon the entire road was blocked, and some people even reached out to touch their clothes and hair.
It was too late for Taoist Tang to turn back, so they had no choice but to walk into the city. From time to time, a woman would reach out her hands to touch the four of them. The pig demon was so scared that she covered her lower body with both hands and shouted, "No! I can't! I'm a castrated pig! I'm a castrated pig!"
The audience laughed out loud at his amusement.
"This...it seems that life surrounded by beautiful women is not easy..."
"Hahaha, this is more than just tough. Look at that pig demon. He's like a virgin who's fallen into a wolf's den!"
"Hahahahahahaha, I can't take it anymore, how can this be so funny? The expressions of those women stretching out their hands are so obscene!"
"Of course that's because that's what some lechers are like in real life!"
"This female cultivator from the He Huan Sect can imitate it so perfectly. It seems she's been harassed a lot..."
"Hahaha, how come there's a hint of tragedy in this funny scene!"
These women were so enthusiastic that they looked at the men as if they were seeing some rare and exotic beasts. No matter how ferocious the demon cultivators acted, they refused to leave. In the end, the traffic congestion here alarmed the soldiers and officials, and the four masters and apprentices were finally able to get rid of those women.
The four of them were invited directly into the palace.
"Master Tang, no men have been seen in the territory of my Xiliang Kingdom for hundreds of years. Now the news of the appearance of human race on the streets has reached the palace. Her Majesty the Queen wants to meet you." The female official smiled and bowed her head respectfully.
Taoist Priest Tang: ...
What do you want to see me for? To see what my race looks like?
Although he was extremely reluctant, this was someone else's territory after all. Taoist Tang sighed softly, straightened his clothes and said, "Please allow the four of us, the master and disciples, to rest for a while..."
The female official looked up at Elder Tang, then turned back to look at the disciples who looked like nobody's business. Her brows furrowed slightly, revealing a hint of barely visible disdain. "Only you will see the emperor."
Her Majesty the Queen is not like those common people. What if she is scared by my ugly appearance?
So Taoist Tang had no choice but to go to the audience alone. After repeatedly telling these troublesome disciples not to cause trouble, he straightened his clothes and followed his attendants to the palace.
The highlight is finally here! Is this the destined meeting? Qi Ling's spirits perked up at this, and he unconsciously straightened his back and watched intently.
Everywhere Taoist Tang visited along the way was magnificent. All kinds of exotic flowers and plants were carefully tended and bloomed, emitting bursts of fragrance. The soldiers on duty had sharp swords and meticulous expressions. The entire palace was in order. He didn't expect that although this country had no men to look after it, it was no different from other countries.
While he was thinking, Taoist Tang had already arrived at the most majestic palace in the imperial palace. The bricks and stones on the ground were so bright that one could see one's reflection. The palace lanterns inlaid with dazzling jewels emitted a bright and soft light. The civil and military officials of the court were standing on both sides. The huge palace was so quiet that not a sound could be heard.
After tidying up his clothes again, Taoist Tang lowered his head and stepped onto the red carpet that extended from the steps to the palace. He felt soft and comfortable, but he did not dare to relax at all.
I hope this queen is a reasonable and normal person, otherwise I'm afraid a quarrel is inevitable. Taoist Tang prayed in his heart and walked to the center of the hall and bowed: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Not long after, he heard a pleasant voice above his head: "Are you the man who mistakenly entered my Xiliang Women's Kingdom? Raise your head and let me see what you look like."
Taoist Tang looked up as he was told, and what caught his eye were a pair of sparkling eyes. Even the emerald green on his head could not compare to the brightness of these eyes. At this moment, the light in those eyes was flashing, as if a brilliant galaxy was flowing.
When the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is better than countless things in the world.
The two of them stared at each other blankly without saying a word, and the palace fell silent again.
