"Okay, now that the grudges have been settled, you can all be fine."
As the maid left, Tang Sanzang once again looked at all the living beings in the capital and said to them.
After hearing this, King Baoxiang and his subjects stood up and looked at Tang Sanzang with eyes full of awe and fear.
Tang Sanzang didn't bother to pay attention to their looks, and immediately took a step forward, fell into the palace, and came to the front of King Baoxiang.
Without any unnecessary nonsense, Tang Sanzang immediately took out the customs clearance document and handed it into the hands of King Baoxiang.
How could King Baoxiang not know what Tang Sanzang meant? He quickly stamped the national seal on it without any criticism.
Then, he handed the prepared alliance letter and the ultimatum into the hands of Tang Sanzang.
At this point, after the Haxi Kingdom and the Uzbeg Kingdom, the Baoxiang Kingdom has now become a vassal state of the Tang Empire in the west.
According to the treaty of the alliance, the divine soldiers from the Tang Dynasty will soon be stationed in Baoxiang Kingdom, and King Baoxiang will also become a minister of the Tang Emperor, paying tribute and proton to the Tang Dynasty.
Although Tang Sanzang was quite unhappy about Kuimulang's incident, it had no direct relationship with King Baoxiang after all.
Because of this, Tang Sanzang did not make any embarrassment to him and still treated him with the courtesy he deserved just like he treated other kings.
After doing this, he had no intention of staying in Baoxiang Kingdom for a long time.
After handling all the trivial matters, Tang Sanzang immediately led many of his disciples to leave Baoxiang Kingdom and continue his unfinished journey.
However, everything that happened in Baoxiang Kingdom has now fallen into the eyes of Taishang Laojun.
Taishang Laojun is currently in the Tushita Palace, looking at the world through the clouds and smoke, looking at Tang Sanzang and the others who have just left Baoxiang Kingdom.
Behind him, the twenty-seven stars were still surrounding him.
After Tang Sanzang killed Kuimu Lang, these twenty-seven Xingjun went straight to Tushita Palace and filed a complaint with Taishang Laojun.
"Exalted Immortal, Tang Sanzang openly killed Kuimu Lang in front of our Twenty-Seven Star Lords. You must make the decision for us on this matter!"
The leader Xingjun said this to the Supreme Lord, his eyes filled with confusion.
After all, the twenty-eight constellations are connected by the same spirit. Now that Kui Mulang is dead and the constellations are incomplete, how can they endure this?
"By openly killing the God of Heaven, Tang Sanzang is getting more and more courageous! If you don't show him some color, he will almost forget his identity!"
Regarding this, Taishang Laojun also had a trace of consternation in his eyes.
Then, he waved, and the two disciples immediately stepped forward and waited for Laojun to send him.
"Disciples, you have been practicing with me for many years. Now you have achieved some success in Taoism and Dharma. It's time to do something serious!"
Having said that, Taishang Laojun pointed at Tang Sanzang and the others in the human world, "Go, let's meet these Buddhist pilgrims in the lower world and teach them some lessons!"
"I will obey my master's orders!"
After hearing this, the two disciples immediately raised their hands and agreed.
"However, Tang Sanzang and the others are not that easy to deal with. I will give you some magic weapons for your own defense."
With that said, Taishang Laojun waved, and several magic weapons fell into the hands of the two of them.
These magic weapons include the Seven-Star Sword carried by Taishang Laojun, the purple-gold gourd used to hold elixirs, the goat-fat jade bottle containing holy water, the dried banana fan used to trigger the true fire of Samadhi, and the robe belt he carries with him. Golden rope.
"Master, don't worry, we two senior brothers will not let you down. I'll be there soon!"
The two disciples said this, then put away the magic weapon, turned into two beams of light, left the Tushita Palace, and entered the human world.
"Sir, will you send these two disciples to deal with Tang Sanzang? With their abilities, can they kill those demon monks?"
Seeing the two people leaving, all the stars were shocked.
You know, Tang San is now hidden under various magic weapons, and his strength is no longer weaker than Taiyi Golden Immortal.
And Sun Wukong is the Demon King, the Monkey King who sweeps away hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers.
Although Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing are relatively weak, they are not something that ordinary gods can easily compete with.
In the previous battle in Bo Yue Kingdom, these disciples did not even take action. Kui Mulang was beaten back by Tang Sanzang, and finally died tragically in the hands of Tang Sanzang.
But now, Taishang Laojun just sent two of his disciples to deal with him.
Even though it came with many magic weapons, it was still somewhat fanciful to eradicate Tang Sanzang.
"Why, are you not satisfied with my handling?"
In response, Taishang Laojun looked slightly sideways and said to them with some displeasure.
"I can't wait!"
"I have my own way of doing things, and I don't need you to tell me what to do."
Taishang Laojun said to the stars, "In this case, please retreat, I still have things to do."
"Thank you, Lord, I'll go there soon!"
Although he had some criticisms about Taishang Laojun's handling of the matter, the words had come to an end and the Star Lords could not say anything more, so they respectfully chose to leave.
"This Tang Sanzang is really difficult to deal with now!"
After everyone left, Taishang Laojun looked at the human world again, looking at Tang Sanzang and others, and couldn't help but sigh.
The Star Lord of Heaven was killed. If this matter goes unchecked, it will inevitably attract criticism from the gods in the sky and cause great damage to his reputation.
Therefore, due to emotions and reasons, as a high-ranking immortal in heaven, I must give an explanation to the stars.
But he knew very well that Tang Sanzang could not die yet.
Just because the Jade Emperor still wanted to use Tang Sanzang's help to find the hidden immortal who once posed a great threat to the Jade Emperor.
Before that, he had to ensure that Tang Sanzang was safe and sound.
Because of this, he specially sent his two least talented disciples to deal with Tang Sanzang.
Firstly, it was to give an explanation to the gods, and secondly, the strength of these two people was low and not enough to pose a great threat to Tang Sanzang.
All in all, his actions were purely for show, to prove that he did express some concern for Kuimulang's experience.
"It's just that after Kui Mulang was defeated, why did he rather risk serious damage and go straight to the heaven? Could it be that there are other unknown secrets behind this?"
At the same time, Taishang Laojun couldn't help but frowned, feeling quite puzzled by Kui Mulang's previous behavior.
Kui Mulang's previous behavior was obviously very abnormal.
But now he had died tragically in the hands of Tang Sanzang, his body and soul were destroyed. Even if he wanted to find out, he couldn't find any clues.
With this thought in mind, Taishang Laojun immediately went into the depths of Tushita Palace and began to continue his unfinished business...
At this time, Tang Sanzang and his party had left Baoxiang Kingdom and traveled thousands of miles without realizing it.
Unconsciously, another towering mountain appeared in front of everyone.
The appearance of this mountain looks quite strange.
I saw this mountain as high as three thousand feet, towering into the clouds like a pillar of heaven.
But the top of the mountain is not as majestic as other mountains. It is as if it has been cut off by an invisible magic weapon. It is flat and vast.
The foothills and mountainside of this mountain are covered with lush vegetation, while the top is covered with snow, giving it a unique look.
"Wukong, where are we now?"
Looking at the mountain, Tang Sanzang asked Sun Wukong.
"Oh, the mountain in front is called Pingding Mountain. After bypassing this mountain and walking a thousand miles further, you will reach the territory of Wuji Kingdom."
Sun Wukong glanced at the mountain and then said this.
Pingdingshan...
After hearing this place name, Tang Sanzang frowned slightly.
If there is no accident, it won't be long before an accident happens.
The Road to the West really never lets you relax for a moment!
I had encountered Kuimulang before in Baoxiang Kingdom. If I didn't remember it wrongly, in this flat-top mountain, there were also two monsters from heaven, blocking my way.
"Disciples, the situation on Pingding Mountain is unusual. We should be careful later."
With this thought, Tang Sanzang gave these instructions to his disciples.
"Master, are you too careful? I have already investigated the environment in this area before, and there are only some wild beasts in this flat-top mountain, and there are no monsters."
Sun Wukong wondered, and couldn't help but feel that Tang Sanzang was a little suspicious.
In response, Tang Sanzang smiled warmly, "When you checked earlier, there were indeed no monsters in this mountain, but that may not be the case now."
His words were profound, which made Sun Wukong feel quite strange.
But since the master said so, Sun Wukong naturally did not dare to let down his guard.
Then he took out his golden cudgel and was on guard all the way.
"Help, help! Is there any kind person who can help me!..."
After everyone walked forward for dozens of miles, a cry for help suddenly sounded from the woods not far away.
After hearing the noise, everyone followed the sound and saw a blood-stained old man lying on a rock, groaning in pain.
"Holy Monk, help me quickly!"
At this time, the old man also noticed Tang Sanzang and the others, and as if grasping a life-saving straw, he asked for help.
After seeing this old man, Tang Sanzang frowned slightly.
Just because according to his perception, this old man was not a mortal. There were waves of immortal energy surging in his body, as if he was transformed by a god.
"Old boy, what's going on with you?"
In this regard, Sun Wukong also noticed something was wrong with the old man and said with a sinister smile.
"For the record, eminent monk, I am a woodcutter from a nearby village. I accidentally fell off the cliff and was seriously injured. Please ask the eminent monk to take me back to the village. I am very grateful, old man..."
The old man said this to everyone, his eyes full of pleading, not to mention how pitiful he looked.
But for his words, not only did everyone have no sympathy, on the contrary, they all had ill intentions in their eyes.
Zhu Bajie took out the nine-tooth rake, Sha Wujing raised the demon subduing staff, and Tang Sanzang looked indifferent.
Because they all sensed that the injured old man who suddenly appeared now looked extremely unusual.
only……
Since this guy is already here, it means that he is destined to be unable to escape the next disaster.
Instead of avoiding people, it's better to come to them.
With this thought, Tang Sanzang glanced at the old man and said, "It is indeed not easy for an old man to go up the mountain to chop firewood at such an old age. If he is seriously injured now and does not receive effective treatment, he may die. worry."
As he said that, he gave Sun Wukong a wink and said, "Wukong, just carry him on your back and send him back to a nearby village."
"Yes, Master."
Although he didn't know what Tang Sanzang's purpose was, Sun Wukong still nodded and stepped forward to carry the old man on his back.
"No, no, no, no! This eminent monk has a rough face and a bad mouth. He looks too scary. I won't let him carry it!"
But seeing Sun Wukong coming over, the old man shook his head and repeatedly expressed his refusal.
"Cha, you old man is really ignorant. You're not happy with me carrying you on my back, are you? Then I'll let you die here!"
After hearing this, Sun Wukong became very angry and immediately cursed at the old man.
"Come on, since you won't let my senior brother carry it, then let me, the old pig, carry it for you!"
Seeing how pretentious this monster was, Zhu Bajie simply volunteered and stepped forward.
"No, you are born like a pig. If you were to carry me on your back, wouldn't I be so scared that I carry you on my back?"
But the old man shook his head again and rejected Zhu Bajie's kindness again.
"How about you let me do it?"
Later, Sha Wujing also came over.
"No, no! You look so fierce, I'm scared!"
"Since that doesn't work, how about you riding a horse?"
"But now I have been injured. I don't know how many bones in my body are broken. Riding is too bumpy. I am afraid that I will accidentally break myself!"
"You old man is really picky. You can't do this or that, so who do you think will carry you?"
At this point, Sun Wukong seemed a little impatient.
If the master hadn't agreed, I might have beaten him with a stick and sent him to the West.
The old man looked around at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Tang Sanzang.
"In my opinion, this holy monk is elegant and handsome. He seems to be a good person at first glance. How about I let him carry me?"
Then, the old man said this.
"Old man, that's our master, don't go too far!"
After hearing his request, Sun Wukong immediately became angry.
You know, this old man is not a mortal, but a monster who appears out of nowhere.
Such a guy actually wanted Tang Sanzang to carry him, what a wishful thinking!
"Monks have the virtue of living a good life, and naturally they also have the heart to help others."
But in response to his request, Tang Sanzang said without hesitation, "Since the old man insists on me carrying it, what if I do you a favor?"
With that said, Tang Sanzang took the initiative to step forward and came to the old man.
"Old man, come up here. I'll take you home right now!"
With that said, Tang Sanzang picked up the old man on his back and walked forward.
After walking a few steps, he looked back at the old man and said, "By the way, old man, where is your home?"
"It's at the foot of that flat-top mountain. Thank you to the holy monk for your help today."
The old man responded.
"Oh, it seems that's not far, let's go."
With that said, Tang Sanzang started to move forward.
But as soon as he took a few steps, Tang Sanzang frowned slightly.
Just because the bones of the old man on his back suddenly felt as heavy as a thousand for some reason, he actually stepped on the hard rocks on the ground to create long cracks after just a few steps.
"Holy Monk, do you know that gods carrying mortals are as heavy as Mount Tai!"
