#1741 - A new disaster has emerged
Speaking of which, Tang Seng's matter really gave Buddha some headache. He pondered for a while, planning to completely whitewash the other party in the next tribulation.
At this time, Tang Seng and his four disciples, along with Chu Hao, had already left Tuoluo Village.
Before leaving, Tang Seng made a special trip to the village chief's house.
Now that the original instigator was dead, the entire village could not be without a leader. Therefore, he personally arranged a new village chief for Tuoluo Village and stated that if they dared to extort again, he wouldn't mind sending some more people to the Western Paradise.
These villagers were usually arrogant and domineering, but where had they ever seen a monk like Tang Seng who killed without batting an eye? They quickly agreed.
On the road, Sun Wukong asked Tang Seng, "Master, why go to such lengths?"
"Alas, although the wicked have been subdued, we still need to guide people towards goodness," Tang Seng said earnestly.
"Master, what if those people don't listen to us?" Pigsy said, stuffing a fruit into his mouth.
"Don't turn to good? Hmph, then this poor monk will send them to turn to good," a hint of murderous intent flashed in Tang Seng's eyes.
These words made the three disciples look strange, but they didn't say anything.
After all, this was the truth.
"By the way, we haven't exercised today, have we? Come, let's exercise together," Tang Seng suddenly thought of something and immediately beckoned to his disciples.
"Again?" Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and looked at Chu Hao with a pleading look.
Chu Hao put his hands in his pockets, looking like it was none of his business.
"Wukong, what are you standing there for? Existences like the Immortal Master don't need to exercise, but you guys do," Tang Seng had already led Pigsy and Sandy to an open space.
Sun Wukong could only follow helplessly.
No one knew where Tang Seng learned these moves, but he was exercising with his three disciples, having a great time.
Chu Hao leaned against a large tree, watching the four diligently practicing martial arts under the scorching sun, feeling it was very interesting.
He raised his head, facing the dazzling sunlight, and saw Dipankara Buddha watching them through the clouds.
Dipankara Buddha also felt his gaze, put his hands together, proclaimed a Buddhist chant, and bowed slowly.
Returning his gaze, half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Tang Seng was still full of fighting spirit, while Sun Wukong looked disgusted.
After all, although these exercises had something to them, they were completely unworthy of his, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's, status.
I am the special envoy designated by the Tathagata Buddha, Jade Emperor, Guanyin Bodhisattva to retrieve the scriptures from the West, the Monkey King of Water Curtain Cave, Huaguo Mountain, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong!
Obviously, Tang Seng couldn't hear his inner voice.
"Pigsy, don't be lazy. You're so fat, you have to lose weight with your teacher," Tang Seng said, looking at Pigsy who was sitting on the ground.
"Master, again?" Pigsy was panting from exhaustion.
"Of course, another half an hour," Tang Seng said with great interest.
"Elder Tang, if we practice any longer, the sun will set. Let's find a place to rest as soon as possible," Seeing Sun Wukong's innocent and pleading eyes, Chu Hao finally couldn't help but speak.
"Immortal Master is right, then let's go first," Tang Seng finally let everyone off.
The group continued forward. After passing through a mountain forest, they saw a city.
The city was magnificent, covering a vast area, and bustling with people, seeming very lively.
They walked towards the city, and the three characters 'Zhu Zi Kingdom' were clearly displayed above the city gate.
Just as the four disciples were about to enter the city, they were suddenly stopped by a group of soldiers.
The middle-aged man in armor, who was the leader, sized up the group, especially after seeing Sun Wukong and the others. He immediately looked wary and shouted sternly, "Where did these monsters come from?"
"You're the monster, your whole family are monsters," Sun Wukong cursed loudly.
"Wukong, be polite," Tang Seng frowned.
Then he bowed to the leader and said, "This officer, we are from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East, going to the Western Paradise to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. We are passing through this place, and we hope you can give us some convenience and let us in."
"A monk from the Great Tang?" the officer muttered, then said, "You can go in, but these three can't."
"Hey, you're not going to take the face I'm giving you, are you?" Tang Seng was immediately furious. With a move of Great Might Heavenly Dragon, he directly punched the officer aside.
The other soldiers were all horrified, and couldn't even hold their weapons steady.
Behind him, Sun Wukong also looked shocked.
Master, didn't we agree that a gentleman uses his words, not his fists?
Blowing on his fist, Tang Seng walked directly towards the officer.
The officer's eyes were seeing stars. Seeing the other party approaching, he hurriedly crawled backwards in fear. However, Tang Seng grabbed him and smiled, "Benefactor, can this poor monk enter now?"
"Yes, yes, you can all come in," the officer was scared silly.
And just like that, the group entered Zhu Zi Kingdom.
In the sky, Dipankara Buddha, who saw this scene, shook his head helplessly.
Thinking, as long as you don't kill people, anything else is up to you.
On the bustling street, the appearance of the four disciples was obviously a bit abrupt.
But people of this era had seen everything. Seeing that Sun Wukong and the others didn't have the bloodthirsty terror described in the stories, they immediately let down their guard and treated them as ordinary people.
Arriving in front of the palace, the commander of the Imperial Guards, who was responsible for guarding the palace, stopped the group.
Just as Sun Wukong thought that his master was going to conquer the other side with force again, he saw him slowly take out the pass from the Great Tang Dynasty.
The reputation of the Great Tang Dynasty was well-known throughout the world, and almost everyone knew it.
Now that the other party handed over the pass, the commander of the Imperial Guards naturally did not dare to be careless and quickly went to the palace to report.
After all, with the pass in hand, if you didn't comply, the Great Tang would come and beat you up.
Soon, inside the palace, a group of civil officials saw the pass from the Great Tang Dynasty and rushed out without stopping.
The panting crowd came to Tang Seng's presence, first startled by Sun Wukong and the others, and then bowed to Tang Seng: "So it is a high monk from the Great Tang. Please come inside."
The officials lined up to welcome them, very respectfully.
Their Zhu Zi Kingdom was not a great power and could not afford to provoke a behemoth like the Great Tang.
Inside the main hall, the officials were already waiting. Tang Seng was welcomed to the top, next to the king's throne.
Tang Seng looked at the vacant throne and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Where is your king?"
"Alas, high monk from the Great Tang, you don't know, our king is suffering from a serious illness and is lying in the bedroom," an old man said truthfully.
