MTL - The Monkey King-Chapter 735 : pray

   "Boom", Xuanzang's door was pushed open.

   Before Xuanzang could react, the monkey had already come to his side in a single step, stretched out his hand, took something from Xuanzang and threw it to Lu Liuguai behind him.

  The unprepared Xuanzang was stunned. After taking a closer look, he realized that the jade slip that Lu Liuguai was holding was the piece of jade given to him by the six-eared macaque.

   "Master, you are..."

   "Let me use the jade slip."

   replied casually, and the monkey followed Lu Liuguai out of the door. In a blink of an eye, the two had disappeared without a trace. Xuanzang, who hurriedly chased out the door, looked at the empty courtyard and had no choice but to do nothing.

  …

  In the courtyard full of monsters, Lu Liuguai carefully penetrated the spiritual power into the jade slip, and felt it carefully.

   Soon, he opened his eyes and said softly, "Great Sage, the six-eared macaque is in the lion and camel country."

   "In the lion and camel country? That's not him."

   "No, maybe he didn't bring Yujian with him."

   "Isn't it easy? Let someone pretend to be the voice of Master Xuanzang and try it out. If he answers, it means that the jade slip is on him. If he doesn't answer, it means that the jade slip is not on him."

"Even if the jade slip is on him?" Tian Peng looked around at the surrounding monsters, frowning and said, "How far is the Lion and Camel Country from here? At his speed, how many times can he run back and forth in one night? What he did, he also had enough time to run back to the lion and camel country."

   put this sentence down, and immediately. Everyone was silent, and one by one looked at the monkey.

  From beginning to end, the monkeys just stood with their hands crossed and quietly watched the two corpses lying on the ground, thinking carefully about something. The demon generals around them were a little uneasy when they saw the monkey's expression.

for a long time. Lu Liuguai stretched his neck and asked cautiously, "Master, what should we do next?"

   This question seemed to awaken the monkey who was immersed in his thoughts.

   took a deep breath, and the monkey said, "Everyone should be on guard, and remember not to act alone. Lu Liuguai went to bury the corpse, and the canopy was left. What should the others do? Let's go."

   "This is... scattered?"

   "Do you want me to say it again?"

   "No!"

   One order. Soon, only the canopy and the monkey were left in the crowded courtyard.

   A ray of morning wind blew past, and the leaves swayed slightly.

"What do you think?"

"What you just said is right, unless you just locate him nearby, otherwise, where it is located. It can't explain the problem." With his lips pressed, the monkey said: "I'm considering two possibilities now. First of all The first one... He really did it, so why did he do it? Did he destroy the westbound? Didn't he say not to destroy it? Even if it really wants to destroy, what's the use of killing two demon generals? It doesn't work. Of course, there may be other reasons, it's hard to say."

   "What about the second possibility?"

   "The second possibility is higher. I think it may be Lingji's ghost."

   "Lingji?" Tian Peng was slightly taken aback.

   "Yes. Who would be in the best interest if I had a direct conflict with the six-eared macaque? Undoubtedly, it would be in the best interest for Buddhism. So..."

   "Who benefits, who is the initiator?"

  Monkey nodded silently.

   all at once. Both were silent.

   If it is Buddhism, then the problem is bigger. Buddha is ready to shoot directly at the monkey? Monkeys are not afraid. Anyway, I had already fought to the death once hundreds of years ago, and it is a big deal to press down the Five Elements Mountain again. But once this kind of thing spreads, the demon generals under him probably won't be able to sit still.

   This is a major event that shakes the hearts of the military.

   Lu Liuguai may still be able to stick to his stance, but what about the other monsters?

   After a long time, Tianpeng asked in a low voice, "Then... what are you going to do?"

   "Strengthen your defenses and catch the perpetrator first!"

  …

   Leiyin Temple. A monk walked out of the back hall with Chenxiang slowly.

   Looking at Chenxiang's disappearing figure, Lingji smiled lightly and said casually, "Activate all the magic circles in the temple."

   "Activate the magic circle?" The tall and thin monk beside him was slightly surprised.

   "If you don't activate the magic circle, you won't be able to hide any secrets in this temple, especially this child. After all, everyone who should know already knows it, right?"

   The tall and thin monk had a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.

   After being silent for a while, he asked in a low voice, "Sir, this disciple doesn't quite understand."

  Lingji turned around and glanced at him lazily, then chuckled, "You don't need to understand."

   Hearing the words, the tall and thin monk froze for a moment, then hurriedly kowtowed: "This disciple is talking too much, please punish the venerable!"

   "There is no need for punishment." Lingji stretched and asked, "Where is Xuanzang? What is Xuanzang doing?"

   "After Master Xuanzang returned to the county palace yesterday, he kept himself locked in his room and stayed at home."

   "Have you seen anyone?"

   "I haven't seen it before. Those who visited above were always blocked by the father and son. It seems that they really regarded Xuanzang as a savior and listened to him."

   "Isn't it good to be a savior?" Lingji chuckled lightly: "However, it's not deep enough. How can it be stabbed into my heart if it's not deep enough? It's time to do something."

   "Do something... Your Holiness means..."

   After thinking for a while, Lingji looked at the tall and thin monk and said slowly, "Let him pray for Leiyin County."

   "Pray... pray?"

   "Yes, let him do all the drama of the savior." Having said that, Lingji has already turned around and picked up the brush on the desk...

  …

   For a whole day, the seemingly peaceful Leiyin County was actually already turbulent.

  Across a wall, the monks in the temple and the monsters lurking outside the temple formed a confrontation. Any little bit of friction can lead to a fight.

   And in this crisis-ridden situation. The common people in Leiyin County were unaware. The only exception may be Xuanzang.

   The county prince and his son came several times, but he never saw him. However, the key issue is that every time you enter the concentration. He would think of the abnormal behavior of the monkey this morning, and the anxiety in his heart became stronger and stronger. It's a pity that at this time, he didn't have any means to find the monkey and ask him to understand. He could only stay in the room quietly, chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha.

   Soon, night fell again.

   People who have worked all day drag their tired bodies back home. The figures on the street gradually became sparser. One by one the oil lamps were lit. The entire Leiyin County was immersed in a peaceful atmosphere.

   However, the world of monsters has only just begun.

   The demon generals who were hiding in the daytime emerged from the corners one by one, and soon gathered together on the roof, and opened a defensive net covering the entire Leiyin County according to the cloth of the canopy. The monkey stood quietly on a three-story roof and looked at Leiyin County from a distance, his eyes fixed.

  Everything is ready, next, just wait for the other party to throw himself into the net.

   Everyone's nerves were tense. Twelve points of energy.

   At this moment, a carriage slowly drove out of Leiyin Temple. For a time, all eyes were drawn to the carriage.

   "Who's inside? Lingji?"

   "It's hard to say, that carriage is extraordinary, with an anti-sensing magic circle inside. I'm not sure, it's simply empty. Everyone stick to your posts and don't be disturbed!"

   "No!"

   After explaining all the demon generals, the canopy has quietly slipped to the monkey on a three-story building through the shadow of the building.

   "Can you perceive what's inside the carriage?"

  Monkey watched the carriage and shook his head slowly.

   just walked on the empty street for a while. The carriage finally stopped at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, and it was the tall and thin monk who had been following Lingji who got off the carriage.

   Hearing that it was a visitor from Leiyin Temple, the prince and his son did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly went out to greet him.

   However, the tall and thin monk just casually greeted the old county king at the door and left a letter. Saying it was Lingji's handwritten letter, he got on the carriage and returned the same way.

   Looking at the old county king in the distance who was thankful and kept bowing, the monkey asked in a low voice, "It seems that there has been movement. Guess what was written in that letter?"

   "It's hard to say." The canopy on the side slowly shook his head.

   The two looked at each other and silently touched the direction of the palace.

  …

   After saying goodbye to the monks, the old prince and his son walked towards the hall chatting and laughing, and opened the sent letter in the hall.

  I saw the old county king briefly glanced at him, frowned slightly, and thought about it, and suddenly laughed.

The prince on the side    asked quickly, "Father, what's the matter?"

   "Come, come and have a look." Said, the old county king delivered the letter in his hand to the prince.

   glanced at the letter, but the prince just frowned slightly and did not smile.

   "Why, I don't understand?"

"I don't understand." The prince shook his head and said: "The master just now has always been with the Buddha, and the letter he sent must be true. It's just... The disciples really don't understand why the Buddha asked us to ask people of high morals and respected people to pray for blessings. What? He also said that as long as he invites a person of high moral character to pray for blessings, he can keep Leiyin County safe and healthy for a hundred years... This is really a bit confusing."

"What's there to understand?" The old county king said with a wide-eyed smile, "Let's find a person of high morality and respect, and Lord Buddha only saw Master Xuanzang yesterday. You said, the person of high morality and respect in his letter would be referring to who?"

   "This..." After hesitating for a while, the prince smiled a little embarrassedly, shook his head and said, "The child is stupid, I really don't understand."

   "If you can understand it casually, is it still Lord Buddha?" The old county king immediately rolled his eyes at him, took the letter back with a smile, carefully put it into his sleeve, and said, "Let's go, my masters are going to see Master Xuanzang!"

  …

   "Let him go to pray for Leiyin County?" Hearing this sentence from a distance, the canopy and monkey hidden on the roof couldn't help but be taken aback.

  Mortal people pray for blessings because they really believe that as long as they are pious, the gods will bless them. A Buddha, let people go to pray? What does this mean?

   "Can't let him go."

  Although they couldn't understand it, in just a split second, the two of them came to the exact same answer.

   Turning around, they had already flown quietly towards the courtyard where Xuanzang lived...(To be continued~^~)
