Chapter 374 - 375: Can Eating Heart and Liver Cure Diseases?
Sun Wukong paused for a moment, then continued, "Upon hearing the report, the sorcerer immediately ordered the people in the palace to wake the king!"
"Upon hearing the sorcerer’s words, those palace attendants naturally did not dare to delay and hurriedly went in to get the king out of bed, showing the national abbot’s influence!"
"However, due to the king’s frailty, it was quite a while before they let these people in to refer to him!"
Sun Wukong picked up Zhu Bajie’s cup, took a sip, and then said, "The national abbot, along with other officials, met with the king and reported the incident of the boy being blown away by the wind. The foolish ruler was immediately scared out of his wits and fainted on the spot."
"The sorcerer and his people were thrown into a panic, fearing that the king might die then and there. After about an hour’s commotion, the king finally began to show slight improvement."
Sun Wukong paused slightly before continuing, "When that foolish ruler regained consciousness, he cried out, ’This is heaven wishing to destroy me! I have been gravely ill for months, and the royal physicians are at a loss."
"Fortunately, the national abbot has obtained a prescription from overseas that can save my life."
"I was only waiting for noon today to perform surgery, to take a child’s heart and liver as medicinal primer. Who would have thought it would be blown away by a gust of yin wind? Is this not heaven seeking to destroy me?"
At this point, the national abbot reassured him, "Your Majesty need not grieve, I have a better medicinal primer that not only can cure Your Majesty’s illness but can also grant you immortality and everlasting youth."
Xuanzang furrowed his brow and said, "The sorcerer’s method is most likely another harmful one."
Sun Wukong smiled and said, "Master is truly wise. The king, hearing this, was overjoyed and eagerly asked the national abbot what other marvelous methods were available. Can you guess what the national abbot replied?"
