Chapter 140: The lively Chang'an City!

Wukong was not worried that the matter of killing Wang Yuanzhi would offend His Majesty Li Yuan and his uneasy sons until death.

Because of his own appearance, His Majesty Li Yuan has now seen the hope that the Taishang Laojun can unify the world in Taoism. In the original history, this matter took shape until the era of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Li Longji, and it was Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Taoist Lord to equally divide the position of the main god.[]

Why share equally if you can be solely taken?

Under such circumstances, the Lord of Taoism should be the Shangqing Sect of Yuanshi Tianzun. His status in His Majesty Li Yuan's heart had already been greatly reduced. In fact, if His Majesty Li Yuan had not cared about his own face, Wang Yuanzhi would have been arrested and hid and taken in various ways!

As for Prince Li Jiancheng, the Shangqing faction had just assassinated him, and now that Wang Yuanzhi is dead, he is too late to be happy, so how could he take his anger on himself?

Perhaps the Qin King Li Shimin would feel unhappy, but Wukong believed that at most he was just unhappy. After all, compared to Wang Yuanzhi, an old fox who was forced to defect when he was desperate, he was obviously more important, a good monk who took the initiative to come to Chang'an to eliminate disasters and solve problems for him!

Of course, the above words are actually nonsense. The most important thing is that Wang Yuanzhi died and was killed by himself! Whether it is His Majesty Li Yuan or his sons, who would really come to find a good monk who is a great man who has great power, cares about the people of the people, supports His Majesty Li Yuan's leadership, and supports His Highness Qin ascends the throne?

Of course, as a good monk who does not cause trouble for his leader, perjury must be done. Wukong's idea completely captured the deepest part of His Majesty Li Yuan's heart...

"Call Wukong to Tai Chi Palace?" Li Yuan laughed and said, "Ha! Pei Jian, do you think it's useless to call him over? He bit him and said that he didn't do it himself. Do I have to torture him and make a move?"

"I'm so reckless!" After hearing His Majesty Li Yuan's retort, Pei Ji understood Li Yuan's intentions, "But what should Pan Shizheng do?"

"What else can I do..." Li Yuan waved his sleeves with disgust, "Pei Jian, go and tell him for me that I have investigated. Wukong did not go out in Zhuangyan Temple last night. Since he determined that Wukong was the murderer, let him find out the evidence for me!"

"Master Pan said that he saw Wukong with his own eyes..."

"See with his own eyes, who else has seen it with his own eyes?" Li Yuan said coldly, "So many Changlin soldiers and so many eyes have not seen Wukong. He saw it with his own eyes. What is this evidence."

"Yes!" Pei Ji bent down slightly and answered with understanding, "Your Majesty is wise!"

In the end, the development of the matter was just as Wukong had estimated. His Majesty Li Yuan rejected the decision of Mr. Pan to kill him in the name of no evidence. It is said that when Mr. Pan heard the news, Jin Chuang was immediately angry and fainted when he turned his eyes.

However, for Pan Shizheng, Wukong had no intention of continuing to kill the roots, because Pan Shizheng had been directly escorted by His Majesty Li Yuan to Xuandu Temple to recover from his injuries. This is a standard signal. If he killed Pan Shizheng, he would really be slapping His Majesty Li Yuan in the face.

In the next few days, Zhixing and Sanbaozi began to pack up their things, buy some memorials, and prepare to return to Huangmei. Wukong shamelessly threw a list of items for Zhixing and Sanbaozi, and hid comfortably in his Zen room and slept.

For Wukong, the matter of the Shangqing Sect is over here. But for all the big guys in Chang'an City, the annoying things have just begun!

When Wukong killed Wang Yuanzhi, he used thousands of pounds of explosives, and the tragic battle situation

oAs soon as one quarter of Lingxuan Temple, more than ten buildings were damaged to varying degrees, four or five main halls collapsed, and the courtyard where Wang Yuanzhi lived simply turned into ruins!

In addition, when it was late at night, those earth-shaking explosions spread throughout Chang'an City! So in the next few days, countless rumors about this matter emerged in Chang'an City, as well as various vivid rumors.

Among these gossips, two of them are the most detailed.

The first article says that Wang Yuanzhi cursed His Majesty now, intending to make His Majesty have no small fortune. Although His Majesty didn't know, His Majesty's ancestor, Taishang Laojun, could see clearly, so he sent a yellow turban hero to kill Wang Yuanzhi. The second article says that because Wang Yuanzhi killed several monks such as Falin, the Buddha was furious and sent a large number of Vajras to kill Wang Yuanzhi.

These two rumors are naturally not as simple as mentioned above, but a very long and wonderful story, such as how Wang Yuanzhi used his clone technique to avoid the punishment of heaven, and finally, under the might of the mighty heaven, how he was caught out from the tunnel by the Yellow Turban Strongman or the King Kong, and how he hit him to death with a thunder, is extremely detailed.

These rumors, coupled with the tragic situation of Ling Xuanguan and the incident of Wang Yuanzhi's last three corpses that came from the mouths of some bad monks who were afraid of the world's chaos, were quickly accepted by everyone as a fact.

In addition to these two, there are some outrageous rumors, such as the reason why Wang Yuanzhi killed those monks was because of those thieves who were bald intent on fighting with Taoist priests and other jokes that the masses liked. After asking for a joke, all the masters and Taoist nuns in Chang'an City were in trouble and were all pulled out to match Wang Yuanzhi once.

The court remained silent on this matter with the acquiescence of His Majesty Li Yuan!

In this case, Master Pan of the Shangqing Sect finally couldn't find evidence that Wukong was not in Zhuangyan Temple, so he had to come forward to refute the rumors, saying that Wang Yuanzhi was actually successful in his practice, so the thunder tribulation was caused by heaven as a test, and Wang Yuanzhi had finally succeeded in overcoming the tribulation, so he abandoned his flesh and ascended!

But the problem is that such jokes that have no meaning at all were soon overwhelmed by the above rumors that were closer to the lives of the people, and even a bubble did not appear.

Just three days after Wang Yuanzhi died, Pan Shizheng, who had just had a little bit of his body, heard another news that he could not be bad anymore...

Some people finally couldn't bear it among the Taoist priests who were captured by the Eastern Palace in Shangqing Sect and confessed!

This was another bolt from the blue. After Master Pan heard the news, Jin Chuang relapsed again and almost followed Wang Yuanzhi to see Yuanshi Tianzun.

Originally, these Taoist priests should not know anything, because all the people who knew about this, such as those magical guardians who succeeded, were already taken out of Chang'an by Shi Zheng, and stuffed them back to the Maoshan Sect's gate and hid them.

But it happened to be a hundred secrets. A firework Taoist priest accidentally heard the gossip of several magical guardians at night. In fact, to be serious, the firework Taoist priest didn't hear a few words, that is, he followed the wind and listened to a few words in a vague way, such as the destiny of the master of the law, and the killing of the gods.

If it was in the Ministry of Justice, I believe that even if this firework Taoist priest asked for confession, if there were no officials from the Ministry of Justice, others would not have understood this matter, but the Eastern Palace would be different!

This is just a sieve!

The confession of this firework Taoist priest first spread in the small circle of the East Palace Guard, and then it spread to the circle of the inner shi and the palace maids of the East Palace. When the inner shi and the palace maids knew, soon, the Shenma cook, the grooms and the like also knew. When the grooms of the East Palace knew, then the grooms of the entire Chang'an would know...

For a moment, the Chang'an monks, who were already in love with the death, immediately found a channel to vent, so a large number of bald men began to stand up and condemn Taoist priests of the Shangqing Sect and encouraged believers to expose the illegal behavior of the Shangqing Sect. They must make the Shangqing Sect worse. It is best to do that all the Shangqing Sect people will pay their lives to the dead monks!

Faced with this situation, Mr. Pan made up his mind and took out the back hands arranged by Wang Yuanzhi before his death and began to fight against these monks in a tit-for-tat way. Although all the Taoist priests in Lingxuan Temple were arrested, the power of the Shangqing Sect in Chang'an was not just those Taoist priests.

So Chang'an City became lively.

Today, a group of monks came to accuse the demons of the evil Taoists and let the men not take charge. Tomorrow, a group of Taoists came to accuse the monks of consecration for the women. Today, Zhang Dahou in the east of the city came to report the Taoists for extortion, and tomorrow, Mr. Li from the west of the city jumped out and said that the monks forced to buy and sell. Today, some people said that there were Taoists cheating on his daughter, and tomorrow, some people said that the monks had not even let his son go.

In just seven or eight days, all kinds of papers that accused illegal monks and violated discipline and evil ways flew into the yamen like snowflakes. The Chang'an County Magistrate and Wannian County Magistrate were all frustrated when they received all kinds of papers.

Under this tense air, the atmosphere between the monk and the Taoist priest became more and more tense. From time to time, you can see Taoist priests and monks fighting on the street. To the words of Wukong, this shameless guy, that is, even the bald man has to take a detour when seeing all kinds of Taoist priests!

As the culprit of all this, Wukong had packed up his things and took a lot of things he bought, preparing to leave without any responsibility.

"Wukong, are you going back to Huangmei so soon?" Li Gang twisted his beard and said to Wukong reluctantly, "Actually, it's good to stay in Chang'an Hongwu..."

Well, of course it’s good. If I leave, who will repair your glasses if they break!

"Mr. Wen Ji, don't make me joke!" Wukong replied with a smile, "I need to learn more from Master Daoxin and spread the Dharma and other things. Let's talk about it when I can get a master!"

"That's right!" Li Gang looked fascinated, "Wukong, you are a Buddha-related person, not like me..."

"Everyone has Buddhas!" Wukong continued, "Your contribution to the country and have no shame with Si is already a god and Buddha in the world. What else can you regret?"

"Hahaha..." Li Gang twisted his beard and laughed. He was willing to listen to good things if he was a human being, and Li Gang was naturally no exception. Especially such good things were said by a young monk like Wukong.

"Well, if you go back, please bring a letter to Master Daoxin for me!" Since Wukong had made up his mind, Li Gang stopped persuading me. As for the three or four pairs of the crystal mirrors in his hand, he shouldn't be so unlucky that they all broke down. "Oh, I feel that my body is getting worse day by day, and I don't know if I can see Master Daoxin in my lifetime!"

This kind of thing must be something that Tieti won’t see!

Of course, Wukong was not so stupid that he said this directly, but comforted Li Gang, saying something like Wen Jigong, you can live a hundred years old, and then said goodbye. As for Li Gang's letter to Daoxin, it was agreed that Li Gang would find someone to send it to Zhuangyan Temple in the evening.

After coming out of Li Gang, Wukong went to meet his own family, Lu Chengji. After all, as a member of the Lu family, it would be not good not to say hello before leaving.

Coincidentally, Wukong actually met Xu Jingzong and Li Anqi at Lu Chengji's house, who were about to leave. However, this time, the young man Li Anqi did not dare to challenge Wukong anymore. Instead, he respectfully bowed to Wukong and exchanged a few greetings, which surprised Wukong, who was already ready to show his open-mindedness and generousness!

In fact, Wukong didn't know that although there was evidence that Wang Yuanzhi was in Zhuangyan Temple when he died, almost all the officials in the court believed that Wang Yuanzhi was killed by him, and Li Anqi's father Li Baiyao was naturally no exception.

There are even three speeches in Wang Yuanzhi. Can't you, a young monk with supernatural powers, have a clone?

When Li Baiyao knew about it, Li Anqi naturally knew about it. Not only did Li Anqi know about it, he also went to Lingxuan to see the explosive places that were blown up. Li Anqi didn't know that these were masterpieces of explosives, so naturally he attributed the reasons for these situations to Wukong's magical powers.

It should be admitted that when Li Anqi saw the ruins that were not human, he was really scared!

Unlike Li Anqi, who was arrogant at first and respectful at the end, although Xu Jingzong was a famous minister in history, Wukong had to admit that in terms of his skills in dealing with people, this guy did a very good job!

Wukong exchanged a few greetings with Lu Chengji, and mentioned that he was going to go back to Huangmei. Lu Chengji politely tried to keep him and gave up. In fact, although he is considered a brother of his family, Wukong is really not familiar with him!

"Mr. Wukong, you're out!" Just after Wukong said goodbye from Lu Chengji's house, he unexpectedly found that Xu Jingzong was still waiting for him outside the door...
