The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Which character in Journey to the West do you like best?"

Shiyi thought about it for a while and gave an answer.

'The Great Sage Equaling Heaven.'

"Sun Wukong."

Shi Yi waved his hand: "No, it's the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, not the Monkey King behind."

Zhou Chen immediately became interested: "Sun Wukong before he went on a journey to the West, why?"

Shi Yi looked thoughtful, she liked the Monkey King because of his courage and unruly nature, as well as his willingness to break worldly rules and never back down.

As for the Sun Wukong who later went on a journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures and the Sun Wukong who became a Buddha, although they were also very good, she felt that the Sun Wukong before he went on a journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures was more attractive to her.

Because she felt that the Monkey King who went on a journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures had lost his former arrogance and seemed to have been tamed, very much like her, so she didn't like him very much.

But she couldn't tell this to Zhou Chen, so she just smiled and said that she just liked it.

Even if she didn't say it, Zhou Chen could understand what she was thinking.

Many people who have read Journey to the West like the early Monkey King Sun Wukong, because they can see what they desire in him, while the later Monkey King is more like a compromise, a compromise defeated by reality, just like ordinary people.

Zhou Tianxing suddenly walked into the study.

"Master, Third Junior Brother and Fourth Junior Sister are back. They have something to report to you. They are now in the military camp outside the city."

Zhou Chen said: "I see, get ready, we are going to the military camp now, Eleven, do you want to go with us?"

Shi Yi nodded immediately.

"Okay, then you come with us, let's go."

The group soon arrived at the military camp. Xie Yun and Feng Qiao saw Shi Yi and chatted happily for a few words, then reported the situation to Zhou Chen.

"Master, when we were coming back from the west, we met a group of monks who came from Zhongli."

As soon as Zhou Chen heard it, he knew that the plot was still happening normally. Nan Xiao’s second prince Xiao Yan had arrived.

Having read the original novel, he had a favorable impression of the second prince of Nan Xiao, because in the plot, after he met Zhou Shengchen, he always stood on Zhou Shengchen's side, and it was also his credit that Zhou Shengchen's body was finally retrieved.

The Second Prince of Nanxiao is definitely a loyal and righteous man who is worth making friends with.

Xie Yun and Feng Qiao told Zhou Chen the whole story, and Zhou Chen took the opportunity to suggest going to Galan Temple, so a group of people went to Galan Temple.

The Galan Temple was right in Xizhou City, so they quickly reached their destination. Zhou Chen asked the rest of the soldiers to wait outside the temple, and he took Shi Yi, Xie Yun and Feng Qiao into the temple.

Before going in, he glanced at Shiyi. He thought Shiyi would speak earlier, but he didn't expect it to be delayed until today. It seems that he still has to transform into the best actor today.

Zhou Chen's identity was obvious. As soon as he entered the temple, the abbot of the Galan Temple brought the abbot who escaped from Nanxiao to pay him a visit. Zhou Chen also spoke to them politely.

He didn't have much favorable impression towards Buddhism, but he didn't have any unfavorable impression towards it either.

It is undeniable that in many movies, TV shows and novels, Buddhism is often portrayed as the villain, and there are indeed many monks who behave improperly.

But we have to admit that there are still many true Buddhist masters. At least this abbot from the south was able to lead so many refugees to escape to Xizhou City. No matter whether he had any ideas of his own, at least what he did was good.

Zhou Chen has always been kind to those Buddhist monks who are truly compassionate.

Let Xie Yun escort the refugees to Xizhou City, while Zhou Chen chatted with the abbot from Nanxiao. He remembered the Qinglong Temple in the plot, so he casually said that he was willing to help them build the temple, which made the abbot grateful.

A young novice monk came over and said he wanted to give his disciple ordination, so the abbot apologized and left to give his disciple ordination.

"Eleven, I just agreed to help them build a new temple. The name of the new temple is up to you."

'I? '

Shi Yi pointed at himself in surprise, but when he saw Zhou Chen's encouraging look, he smiled and agreed.

Zhou Chen knew that the person who was being ordained inside was the second prince of Nanxiao, Xiao Yan, so he took Li Shiyi with him and walked over.

Walking into the hall, Zhou Chen saw Xiao Yan who was getting ordained. He remained calm and stood quietly by the side watching him get ordained.

Xiao Yan also saw Zhou Chen. Seeing that Zhou Chen did not move, he naturally did not speak first. He clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.

The tonsure was completed quickly.

"Master, I want to say a few words to him, can I?"

The young monk wanted to stop him, but the abbot held him back and said respectfully, "Your Highness, please." Then he took the young monk away.

There were only three people left in the hall, and Zhou Chen spoke up, "I haven't seen you for a few years. You gave up your dignified position as a prince and went to Xizhou City to become a monk. You really have the leisure time and elegance."

Xiao Yan clasped his hands together and smiled.

"It's been a long time since we last met, Your Highness. Things in this world are unpredictable. I never thought that the next time I see Your Highness, it would be in this situation."

Shi Yi carefully pulled Zhou Chen's clothes, her eyes full of questions.

Zhou Chen smiled and explained: "This is the second prince of Nan Xiao. We have met several times before."

Shi Yi was shocked. It was strange no matter how he looked at it that the Second Prince of Nan Xiao came here to become a monk.

Xiao Yan looked at Shi Yi curiously, then turned to Zhou Chen: "Your Highness recognized me, but remained indifferent. Isn't he afraid that I came here with a purpose?"

"To be honest, I'm not afraid. First, I have confidence in myself. Second, although we have only met a few times, I still admire you very much. I have also heard some rumors about you. If there hadn't been a big change, you wouldn't have appeared here."

"Amitabha, Your Highness is still as elegant as ever, which makes this poor monk admire you. However, Your Highness, you have to be careful."

Just as he finished speaking, several refugees wearing coarse linen clothes suddenly rushed in from outside the hall.

Seeing them appear, Zhou Chen's expression remained unchanged, he just protected Shiyi behind him.

"Are these your people, or Emperor Nan Xiao's people?"

Xiao Yan sighed, "I have already decided to become a monk and give up my identity as the Prince of Nan Xiao, so why would I bring anyone here?"

Then he stood up, turned to them and said, "You guys go back. I have made up my mind. I will not go back with you."

But these people all knelt down and replied: "We will never leave Your Highness even if we die."

Zhou Chen said: "It seems that they are quite loyal to you."

Xiao Yan chanted a Buddhist chant: "I have become a monk and no longer need guards. This is Xizhou City. If we don't leave now, we will never be able to leave."

But these people suddenly looked at Zhou Chen and Xi Shiyi with fierce eyes, but before they could do anything, Xiao Yan spoke again.

"I advise you not to attack them, otherwise you will die."

But these guards not only want to protect him, but also want to take him back to Nanxiao on the orders of Emperor Nanxiao, so of course they can't give up. If they can capture the little King Nanchen, the right to speak will be in their hands.

Thinking of this, they could no longer hold back and stood up at the same time, rushing towards Zhou Chen and Li Shiyi.

Zhou Chen said softly: "Eleven, step back."

As he said this, he went towards the people who were rushing towards him and started fighting with them with fists and feet.

After a few quick exchanges, Zhou Chen was able to determine their level. Their strength and boxing skills were not bad, but that was only compared to ordinary people. In his eyes, as someone who had already developed internal strength, they were just little Karamis.

However, in order to allow Shiyi to speak, the whole play had to be performed.

When those people saw that Zhou Chen was too powerful to be defeated, one of them suddenly turned his eyes and actually looked at Xi Shiyi in the hall. He suddenly rushed towards Xi Shiyi and even wanted to attack Xi Shiyi.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan clenched his fists and prepared to attack, but Zhou Chen was faster than him.

Originally, he wanted to use these people to stimulate Shi Yi to speak, but who would have thought that they actually wanted to attack Shi Yi, which really touched his reverse scale.

He turned around suddenly, his speed increased dramatically, and he took the initiative to grab the shoulder of the man who attacked Shi Yi. He pulled hard and threw him out of the hall. He fell heavily to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.

When the other few people saw this, they all realized that the idea was difficult, so they no longer held back, and at the same time drew out the sharp swords hidden at their waists and attacked Zhou Chen again.

Zhou Chen deliberately controlled and moved them from inside the hall to outside the hall and continued to fight with them, but he did not take them all down. Instead, he deliberately exposed flaws to give people a dangerous visual effect.

Looking at Zhou Chen who was fighting, Shiyi's face was full of tension, his hands were tangled together, and his fingertips were clenched white.

On the other hand, Xiao Yan, who was standing aside, had a frown on his face. He was also a martial arts expert, proficient in fists, kicks, swords and knives. His eyesight was much better than that of Li Shiyi, so he was confused.

Logically speaking, with King Nanchen's level, it is impossible for him to fight so dangerously. He just beat the man to the point of vomiting blood, and now he beat him like this. It looks fake no matter how you look at it.

But Shi Yi didn't know all this. She only knew that her master was being besieged and the enemies were using swords. She was almost stabbed by the swords several times. She was so anxious that her heart was about to jump out.

Suddenly, a long sword stabbed at Zhou Chen from behind, and Zhou Chen seemed to be unaware of it. When it was about to stab Zhou Chen, Shiyi couldn't bear it any longer and blurted out.

"Master, be careful behind you."

When Zhou Chen heard Shi Yi finally speak, he was immediately delighted and stopped acting. He dodged the sword behind him by leaning sideways and kicked out.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

In just a few breaths, those people who had just fought fiercely with Zhou Chen had all fallen to the ground and could hardly stand up.

"Master."

After the battle, Shiyi couldn't bear it any longer and rushed towards Zhou Chen. He looked around and was relieved to see that Zhou Chen had no wounds on his body.

Xiao Yan looked at this scene with a strange expression, speechless. Could it be any more fake?

Although he didn't know why Zhou Chen acted so flustered just now, he was sure that it was related to the time.

Chapter 1328: Prince Guangling, Another Birthday

Feng Qiao arrived before the battle was over. After Zhou Chen defeated those men, she immediately took the people outside the temple and captured Xiao Yan and the guards. After receiving orders, she took them back to the military camp.

Zhou Chen looked at Shiyi, whose face still showed some nervousness, with a gentle gaze.

"Although I didn't hear you speak the first moment I saw you back, it's not too late now."

Shi Yi gave an embarrassed smile, but her eyes were soft, bright and full of joy.

"Master, father."

"Don't worry, take your time to get used to it, and you'll be able to speak normally soon. Let's go back first."

"Ah."

Zhou Chen brought Shiyi and followed the main force back to the military camp.

In the military camp, Zhou Chen went to see Xiao Yan alone and brought some wine.

Before he could speak, Xiao Yan spoke first: "Your Highness, are you going to ask me why I gave up being the Second Prince of Nanxiao and came to Beichen to become a monk?"

Zhou Chen said, "No normal person would make such a choice unless something big happened. I've heard about you. You had a chance to compete for Nan Xiao's position, but a few years ago you suddenly became a recluse and stopped caring about government affairs. You even disbanded the palace later. I heard some rumors."

Xiao Yan smiled lightly and said, "The rumors are true. I am indeed not the son of the Emperor of Nanxiao, but an orphan of the previous dynasty. I am the wretch of the extinction of my country. Your Highness, do you think I can continue to be the second prince in Nanxiao?"

Zhou Chen didn't say anything, he just opened the jar of wine, poured a glass for Xiao Yan, and then raised the glass to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was stunned at first, then he showed a sincere smile, also picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Zhou Chen, and drank it all in one gulp.

Zhou Chen smiled and drank it all in one gulp as well.

"Your Highness, don't you doubt me?" Xiao Yan asked.

"No doubt."

"why?"

"You don't even want to be the second prince anymore, but come here to be a monk. Could it be that Emperor Nan Xiao is willing to spend so much money to let you be an undercover agent?"

"We've met a few times, but the feeling you gave me this time was different from the previous times we met."

"Really? Maybe I'm more handsome now."

"?"

Xiao Yan never expected that the dignified King Nanchen would actually say such unbecoming words, and his expression looked very silly.

"Are you really the Little King of Nanchen, Zhou Shengchen?"

The two were silent for a moment, and Xiao Yan suddenly asked, "How will your Northern Chen emperor deal with me?"

"I don't believe you didn't think it through before you came here, so don't ask me this kind of question."

"Your Highness is still Your Highness after all."

Xiao Yan smiled slightly and thought of the girl he had met in the temple before.

"The girl I met before, is she also your apprentice? I heard her call you Master. Your attitude towards her is a little different. You care about her a lot."

Zhou Chen said calmly: "Is there anything strange about this? Everyone has people or things they care about, not to mention that she is my apprentice."

Xiao Yan just smiled lightly, he was a smart person and didn't mean this, but he had also heard about Zhou Shengchen's affairs, and seeing that Zhou Chen didn't want to say anything, he didn't ask any more questions and clinked glasses with Zhou Chen.

After finishing a jar of wine, before leaving, Zhou Chen said: "Although you are a prisoner, if you want something, just tell my people directly."
