The three of them were very angry with the King of Yue's actions, and at the same time, they were very sympathetic to Xi Shi's suffering.
The three of them comforted Xi Shi. Wukong recalled a few stories about the four ancient beauties of the Celestial Dynasty. It was said that when Xi Shi was washing gauze by the Stream of Washing Gauze in the Ancient State of Yue, the fish in the water saw her stunning appearance and felt ashamed to face her, so they sank into the bottom of the river. Thus, there was the sinking fish in the "sinking fish and falling geese"; Legend has it that when " Zhaojun left the fortress," their team was walking in the desert. Wang Zhaojun was sad about her fate and being far away from her hometown. She was bored in the carriage, so she played the song " Leaving the Fortress."
The wild geese that flew across the sky heard the bitterness and sadness of the tune. They were heartbroken and fell to the ground.
Thus, there was the "sinking fish and falling geese"; It was said that when Diao Chan was worshipping the moon in the garden, Wang Yun saw it when clouds covered the moonlight. After that, Wang Yun told people that Diao Chan was more beautiful than the moon and called it Biyue. Legend has it that Yang Yuhuan lamented her fate when she was admiring the flowers in the garden. She stroked the flowers with her hands. Perhaps it was the mimosa, or perhaps it was for other reasons, the petals shrank and the leaves drooped. When the palace maids saw her, they said that Yang Guifei was comparing her beauty with the flowers. The flowers were so embarrassed that they lowered their heads. Now that he had seen two of the four beauties of ancient China, he wanted to test if these stories were true. It just so happened that he had brought many animals outside in this spatial ring. There were all kinds of fish in the lake in front of the house, and there were all kinds of birds and other animals in the forest in the distance, including geese.
Because the space in the interspatial ring was very large, Wukong arranged it to be similar to the outside. Wukong called Xi Shi to the lakeside in front of the door alone. At this time, a school of fish was playing on the lake. Wukong went to the lakeside alone and asked Xi Shi to wait for him. When he came to the lakeside alone, he found that the fish were still playing and didn't have any reaction, so he called Xi Shi over. When those fish saw Xi Shi coming over, they took a look at her and suddenly turned red all over like a human's face. Then, they all sank to the bottom of the lake.
"The ancients didn't deceive me, did they?"”Xi Shi felt strange. This Great Sage called me out and said that he had something to ask me. Why did he say such a strange thing when I came out? Seeing that Wu Kong was still in a daze and saying something strange that she didn't understand, she couldn't help but ask Wu Kong,""Great Sage, why did you call me out?”
So he said to Xi Shi," Oh, it's nothing. I called you out just to ask you, now that you've grown a physical body, what are your plans for the future?" Do you want to stay in the ring with Zhaojun and Chang'e, or go back to your cave?”
Xi Shi had always had a good impression of Wukong. Now that she saw that Wukong was so capable, helped her grow a body, and treated her woman so well (seeing how he treated Zhaojun and Chang'e), she had an idea in her heart. She wanted to stay and be his woman like Chang'e and Zhaojun. However, out of a woman's restraint, she still said,"I plan to return to my cave abode to continue cultivating.”However, he was hoping that Wukong would say something to make him stay.
As for Wukong, he wanted her to stay too. Just as he was about to ask her to stay, he remembered that he had just captured her and asked her how she would repay him after she grew a physical body. He had rejected her so firmly when he asked her if she was willing to be his woman. He thought that he did not like her yet and only had a good impression of her. Therefore, he wanted to distance himself and let her go back first. After leaving him for a long time, she would definitely miss him, so he did not keep her. He only said that he would send her out tomorrow.
Xi Shi was very sad when she saw that Wu Kong didn't want her to stay. She thought that Wu Kong didn't like her and just wanted her to go out quickly and live a comfortable life with Zhaojun and Chang'e. "In that case, I'll go back and rest first. Great Sage, you should rest early."”
After saying that, she went back. She thought that Wukong did not like her, and the more she thought about it, the sadder she became. She could not help but shed tears.
However, Wukong did not know what she was thinking. He thought that she was crying because she had grown a physical body. He didn't know how to tell her. So he ran into the house to find Zhaojun to experiment.
Wukong asked Zhaojun to play the song "Leaving the Fortress" here. Zhaojun had always been obedient to Wukong. Now that Wukong wanted to play the piano, she could not help but play the sad song "Leaving the Fortress" with all her strength. The birds fell to the ground one after another after listening to it, and the beasts collapsed to the ground one after another.
Wukong was speechless. He could only repeat the phrase," The ancients didn't deceive me."
Zhaojun called him several times before waking him up.
Wukong was awakened by him and saw Zhaojun shivering in the cold, but she continued to play the zither for him. Wukong was very touched and his heart ached. He said to her,"Let's go back. Look at how cold you are.”
" It's nothing," Zhaojun said." I'm not cold. I'll continue playing for you." Yawn!" He even yawned.
