Chapter 237: You guessed it
When Tang Seng left, it was equivalent to walking, and it was not the same when he came back, in order to highlight the magic and greatness of Buddhism, he sent a team of Vajra Arhat protectors, and then in the auspicious clouds in the sky, slowly fell outside Chang'an City.
According to expectations, at this time, there should be colorful flags fluttering, gongs and drums in the sky, and firecrackers outside Chang'an... Li Shimin took hundreds of civil and military officials to personally welcome them out of the city, and then there were various rewards and awards.
But the reality is that although the city is still lively, it is obviously different from what they expected, there is no team to greet them, and there is no shadow of Li Shimin...
But don't say it, the appearance of Tang monks and apprentices in this form still caused a lot of sensation, and some Buddhist believers simply knelt on the side of the road to worship, but this is not what Tang Seng wants!
Just in confusion, a team of gongs and drums finally appeared in the city, and the officials headed by Tang Seng were even more unimaginable to Tang Seng Zhu Tiangang, who appeared in the image of Wang Yu.
"Old Tang, are you coming back so soon? haha... Please, the temple has been cleaned and is waiting for you to move in."
"Brother Monkey, congratulations! Finally got the golden hoop down, yes, you are now a fighting Buddha, I can't be blind anymore, and Lao Sha and Xiaolong brothers, congratulations..."
Zhu Tiangang was familiar with himself, and greeted the people of the scripture learning team one by one.
The moment they saw Zhu Tiangang, Tang Seng and the others didn't know that the reason why Li Shimin didn't appear must be this guy's ghost...
"All the high monks of Lingshan, please go back! Chang'an has been short of food recently, and he hasn't prepared a meal for you, hehe! If you want to drink, it's barely acceptable."
After greeting Tang Seng and his party, Zhu Tiangang turned to the Vajra Arhats who escorted Tang Seng and them back, and then ran away with a few words, and didn't even say hello to Tang Seng.
"Hey, hey, old Tang, you see, this is a monk from Lingshan, he doesn't have any measurements, he can't afford to make jokes, phew, what the hell? Don't you learn from them."
It's already like this, what else can Tang Seng say, he took a deep breath and said, "General, please lead the way!"
Sun Wukong didn't say anything, and when Zhu Tiangang greeted him, he didn't react at all, just like a stranger.
Zhu Tiangang can naturally feel this alienation, and while sighing slightly in his heart, he also secretly warned himself that it is time to let go of this friendship, no matter whether he is a man or a demon, it is better to be realistic...
"Old Tang, what are your plans to return to Chang'an?"
"The Mahayana scriptures have been retrieved, so it is natural to vigorously promote the Dharma"
"It's a good thing, but don't be too public, the recent chaos of the party, the imperial court has just issued a proclamation, prohibiting large-scale gatherings, the number of people exceeds two hundred, it will be regarded as a conspiracy, of course you will not be a chaotic party, so let's go back! I will tell Your Majesty that I will increase the number of you by another hundred people, but it can't be more, otherwise it will be difficult for my brother to do it."
"What's that?"
Listening to Zhu Tiangang's words, Tang Seng's nose was almost out of breath, in the past, preaching and preaching, monks and believers from all over the country, and even some feudal states would come, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a sea of people, not to mention three hundred, even three thousand can't be stopped, and now Zhu Tiangang has set the number of people, isn't this clear that he is not allowed to promote Buddhism?
At the moment, he held back his anger and continued: "The poor monk wants to go to see Your Majesty, and General Zhu will not bother with preaching."
"Then please, I've already brought the meaning to me anyway."
Tang Seng is now a Buddha of Zhantan Merit, what he wants to do, Zhu Tiangang can't stop him at all.
"Zhu Gangguan, you took the things from the Buddha Gate, should you return them?"
While walking, Zhu Tiangang's voice suddenly flashed in his mind.
"What's that?"
Zhu Tiangang almost subconsciously replied, Sun Wukong didn't mention it, he really forgot about the Buddha's bone relics, besides, that thing has been refined by him, what is the difference between asking him to return it and asking him to die?
"They are all people who understand, why ask knowingly? Lao Sun doesn't want to tear his face with you, so you'd better take the initiative to hand it over, otherwise I'll have to do it myself."
Sun Wukong's words seem polite, but the meaning is aggressive.
How could Zhu Tiangang be frightened? Just as he was about to speak, an inspiration suddenly moved in his mind, and he secretly said, Lao Tzu should know about restoring Tianpeng's true body, right? In this case, who gave him the courage to talk to me like this?
This question is easy to answer, because apart from those monks in Lingshan, Zhu Tiangang really can't think of anyone who will support Sun Monkey.
Suddenly, Zhu Tiangang felt a little sympathetic to Sun Wukong, because he knew that with Sun Wukong's personality, if he hadn't been fatally coerced, he wouldn't have done anything against his will...
"Brother Monkey, did Ru come to force you?"
After Zhu Tiangang's voice came out, it sank like a stone into the sea, and Sun Wukong did not respond for a long time.
Zhu Tiangang frowned, but he didn't say much, after all, such a question is not easy to answer on anyone.
Although Zhu Tiangang wanted to downplay the fact that Tang Seng came back from the scriptures, the escort of the King Kong Arhats quickly spread in Chang'an City, and after not walking for a while, people came from all over to watch, some greeted and greeted, some worshipped, and how could it be described by a messy word, the officials who patrolled the city had to start to come forward to maintain order...
Seeing this, Zhu Tiangang suddenly turned his head to Tang Seng and smiled: "Old Tang, you and I are both people who have jumped out of the Five Elements, do you think that in the mortal world, there is an emperor who is willing to see his subjects support others?"
Tang Seng is enjoying the beautiful feeling of being worshipped, so can he listen to Zhu Tiangang's words? smiled slightly, and said: "The people are too bitter in their hearts, and they need to practice Buddhism to resolve the depression in their hearts, and His Majesty the Tang Emperor will be happy when he sees it."
Seeing that Tang Seng didn't understand what he meant, Zhu Tiangang didn't know what he was saying, but said in his heart, it's good that you didn't play politics, otherwise you wouldn't know how you died...
"Master, Master, you can come back, save us..."
As the team was walking, the crowd on the side of the street suddenly became chaotic, and when they turned their heads, they saw a group of ragged monks, trying to rush against the messengers who were maintaining order and trying to get closer.
"Are those your former disciples? How did they become like this?"
Zhu Tiangang pretended to be surprised, but his fingers moved imperceptibly.
Tang Seng was stunned for a moment, and without waiting for him to distinguish carefully, he saw that those monks seemed to have been beaten suddenly, and suddenly became irritable, from the original pushing and shoving errand servants, to attacking, punching and kicking those errand officers who stopped in front of them...
"Dare to stop us, don't look at who our master is..."
"Ahh
"Murder! Monk murder..."
In the chaos, someone suddenly screamed, and then the entire crowd was completely chaotic.
Tang Seng was also stunned, he never dreamed that it would become like this, but he quickly reacted, turned his head and glared at Zhu Tiangang angrily and said, "You did the ghost?"
"Hehe, you guessed it, isn't that me!"
Zhu Tiangang didn't refute, and said with a smile...
