Chapter 40: Bibo Tan, Princess of All Saints
In order to thoroughly investigate the matter, at Gu Ming's suggestion, the abbot ordered someone to bring the roster of the monks in the temple.
Because of the special status of Jinguang Temple, the roster of the temple was personally approved and marked by the kings of previous dynasties.
Therefore, it is unlikely that the roster will be falsified.
Gu Ming first took the roster to the palace to find the king to confirm that it was correct, and then went back to Jinguang Temple to count them one by one.
In the end, it was indeed a Bula, and it was all in the temple.
Next, Gu Ming asked one by one...... It is confirmed that the monks in the temple are indeed innocent and not self-stealing.
At the same time, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng also automatically searched carefully in the temple with their magical powers, but did not find the relics.
This shows that the relics are indeed not in the monastery.
"Elder Tang and Gu Shangxian, now not only the king, but also many people in the Saisai country think that it was the monks of our Jinguang Temple who stole the relics.
If this matter cannot be clarified, the old man and the monks in the temple will always bear a stain, and at the same time, it will also bring shame to my Buddhism.
Here, the old man implored the two of them to think of ideas and help find the relics, the old man...... Kowtow to the two of you ......"
The abbot was in tears, and he was about to kneel down as soon as his legs bent.
"Old abbot must not!"
Tang Seng hurriedly stretched out his hand to help.
"The abbot doesn't have to be polite, we'll figure it out."
Gu Ming raised his hand slightly, and a stream of true qi gushed out to support the abbot.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
The abbot was grateful and thanked him repeatedly.
After the abbot left, Tang Seng couldn't help frowning and said: "Shangxian, we have no clue about this matter, how should we start?" β
"Elder Tang, this matter is very strange, and it is completely certain that it is definitely not the monks in the temple who are guarding and stealing themselves......
"Will it be a combination of inside and outside?"
In the past, Tang Seng would never have doubted the disciples of the Buddhist family for such a reason.
However, he has experienced too many ups and downs along the way, and was even almost burned to death by the monks of Guanyin Temple, how can he still be as naΓ―ve as before?
What should be doubted, must be doubted.
"I've also thought about this question...... Gu Ming nodded: "For example, I once thought that the monks and guards in the temple colluded with each other to steal the relics. β
"Yes, yes, if it's really a combination of inside and outside, then it's easy to explain the current situation.
There are many monks in the temple, and there are no relics in the temple......"
Gu Ming smiled and waved his hand: "I also had such suspicions before, but after some inquiry, I can be sure that the monks really don't know, and it is impossible for them to cooperate with each other." β
"That'...... What about the guards? β
"I haven't interrogated the guards yet, but I guess it's less likely that the guards will steal it. There is a high probability that it was stolen by a youkai. β
"Youkai?"
Tang Seng was taken aback.
"That's right, some youkai are naturally interested in collecting all kinds of treasures. So I think we can focus on tracking down the monsters in and around the race country right now. β
Tang Seng couldn't help sighing: "In this way, I can only rely on the three disciples of the Shangxian and the poor monk to check." β
"Don't worry, Elder Tang, regardless of whether the relics can be recovered or not, but I believe that we will definitely be able to track down who stole the relics."
"Well, thank you Immortal!"
Gu Ming's first suspicion was naturally the nine-headed insect.
After all, it was this guy who stole the relics in the original plot.
So Gu Ming found Sun Wukong's brother and began to discuss the recovery of the relics.
Gu Ming first explained his thoughts in a rough way, and then said: "I think it is more likely that this matter is stolen by monsters, so we can act separately."
Wujing stayed in Jinguang Temple, firstly, to protect Elder Tang, and secondly, to report the news if something happened.
Wukong and Bajie came with me, Bibo Pond, which is the closest location to the royal city.
As far as I know, there is a dragon king in this blue wave pool called the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King. This Halloween Dragon King has a daughter named Princess Halloween, who looks beautiful and charming......"
"Great, let the old pig deal with her......"
Zhu Bajie couldn't listen to the beauty, and as soon as he heard that there was a beauty, he immediately came to the strength.
Gu Ming smiled and said, "Listen to me first...... This princess of all saints recruited a son-in-law, named Nine-Headed Horse, and its body is a nine-headed bird, which belongs to the descendants of the ancient fierce beast Gu Won Bird, and its strength should not be underestimated. β
"Oh? Listening to the meaning of the immortals, could it be that the nine-headed monster stole the relics? β
"This is just my guess, whether it is a check or not."
"Okay, then let's go to Bibotan to meet this nine-headed monster for a while."
After some searching, the three flew to the vicinity of Bibo Pond.
In order to prevent the grass from startling the snake, Gu Ming decided to go into the water first to find out.
"Wukong, Bajie, you two wait outside first, pay attention to the situation around you, and I'll go down to see the situation."
"Good!"
Sun Wukong answered.
Zhu Bajie said anxiously: "Remember to leave that princess to the old pig to deal with personally." β
Gu Ming smiled, and his figure flashed into the water.
When he was about to dive to the bottom, a patrolling shrimp soldier spotted Gu Ming and immediately stepped forward to ask.
As a result, he was restrained by Gu Ming and forced to ask about the situation of the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon Palace......
This question is really rewarding, the relics were indeed stolen by the nine-headed worm.
After asking, Gu Ming directly knocked the shrimp soldier unconscious, and then turned into the appearance of a shrimp soldier and swam to the Dragon Palace.
When he was about to enter the Dragon Palace, suddenly, a wave of greetings came......
"I've seen the pony!"
Bridegroom?
Isn't that a hydra?
Gu Ming hid among the shrimp soldiers and crab generals and glanced over, and sure enough, a richly dressed man with an arrogant demeanor did not squint, just nodded slightly, and rose towards the water.
Gu Ming hesitated for a moment, and finally quietly followed......
By the time he surfaced, the hydra had risen into the air, leaving only a small black dot.
Gu Ming thought about it and ran to find Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie.
"Shangxian figured out the situation so quickly?"
Sun Wukong couldn't help but be surprised.
"No, I was just about to enter the Dragon Palace when I met a nine-headed insect going out. That's fine, I have a new plan.
Since this guy is gone, let's take his form and get the relics back first. β
"Haha, okay, this method is good, it's better to let the old pig become the appearance of that guy."
Zhu Bajie didn't know what good things he thought, and the corners of his mouth drooled.
"Then you have changed......"
Sun Wukong looked mocking.
Zhu Bajie's face was excited, and his body shook......
"Wait, I haven't seen that guy again, how did it change?"
Gu Ming smiled, and with a flash of thought, he turned into the appearance of a nine-headed insect.
"Okay, watch the old pig change into a ......"
Zhu Bajie shook his body again......
Sun Wukong was speechless.
Because, Zhu Bajie has changed into a different shape, but unfortunately his body is two laps bigger, and he still has a big belly.
Although this Zhu Bajie will change thirty-six times, it has a drawback, that is, it can only change in the big and small...... It seems a little overwhelming.
Even if you become a small child, you are a fat and fat plus-size child.
Obviously, it is impossible to fool this kind of appearance.
Sun Wukong couldn't help but say: "Shangxian, if you are still wronged and become that guy, Lao Sun and Bajie will become the guards of the Dragon Palace, and they will be able to respond at that time." β
"Okay, let's go!"
So, the three of them changed their own ways and dived into the water again to the Dragon Palace.
"Huh?"
Seeing that the "Horse Master" had just left and returned, the shrimp soldiers and crabs were a little surprised.
Then they saluted one after another......
"I've seen the pony!"
Gu Ming knew that the nine-headed insect was arrogant by nature, and he had seen this guy like to put up a shelf before, so he was lazy, just nodded slightly and walked into the Dragon Palace.
As for Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, they became Dragon Palace guards as planned, which was convenient for action and response.
After entering the Dragon Palace, Gu Ming swaggered towards the east side.
He had already asked about the environmental distribution of the Dragon Palace before.
And the Dragon Palace here is incomparable with the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas, the scale is much smaller, so you don't have to worry about getting lost or something.
"I've seen a colt!"
When approaching the dormitory, the two maids outside the door bowed together.
Gu Ming still looked tall, just nodded and stepped in.
"Husband, how are you ...... Back again? β
In the garden, a beautiful and bewitching woman couldn't help but get up in surprise when she saw Gu Ming appear.
This time, Gu Ming didn't pretend.
Although he has never been in contact with the hydra, he is a character after all, and he is quite clear about the personality of the hydra.
Although this guy is tall outside, he doesn't have any shelf in front of the All Saints Princess and the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King.
First, he is a door-to-door son-in-law, and secondly, this guy likes the Halloween princess quite much, otherwise he would not be able to be an inverted son-in-law with his arrogant personality.
"That...... It occurred to me that something was missing......"
Gu Ming didn't know what the hydra was going out to do, and he didn't know where he was going, so he casually made an excuse to stuff it.
"Oh? What could it be? Princess Wansheng frowned: "Didn't you say that you would only exchange the relics for the good?" β
Take the relics to exchange?
So, the relics are no longer in the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon Palace?
Gu Ming's heart sank......
"Husband? What happened to you? Your face is a little bad, have you been tired lately? β
"This ...... I guess it'......."
Gu Ming didn't know the situation, so he could only follow the words of the Princess of All Saints.
"Alas, your eldest brother is really good, knowing that the relics are the treasures we both like, and I have to take advantage of others......"
Why did another big brother come out?
Is it a pro-big brother or a sworn brother?
Gu Ming's thoughts moved...... However, in order to get out of the mouth of the Princess of All Saints, she could only pretend to be distressed and waved her hand, and sat down at the stone table without saying a word.
This is called static braking.
After all, this is a character that has sprung out of the sky, and he doesn't know the relationship between them, so naturally he can't talk indiscriminately.
If you follow the words of the Ten Thousand Saints Princess, if the nine-headed worm has a lot to do with that big brother, wouldn't he be exposed?
If you reprimand the princess of all saints...... This makes it easier to show the stuffing.
So, it's better not to take a stand yet.
Silence is golden!
"My husband is really tired when I think about it, why don't you have a few drinks with your husband as a concubine?"
"It's good!"
Gu Ming responded.
"Come on, prepare wine!"
"Yes!"
The maid standing at the gate of the courtyard answered, and quickly went to bring some wine and food to the table.
"Husband, come, let's have a drink together as a husband and wife."
The Princess of All Saints raised her glass with affection.
It can be seen that she really likes the hydra guy.
"Princess, come ......"
"Why are you called a princess again, didn't you say that when there is no one, you call someone else's sweetheart......
emmmmmm
Gu Ming was a little speechless, and he didn't expect that the husband and wife were quite romantic.
Fortunately, there is no revealing filling, and presumably the hydra also has a time when it misses.
Since acting, then acting like some, this is an actor's quality.
So, Gu Ming picked up the wine glass, gently hugged the waist of the Princess of All Saints and said softly: "Heart and liver baby, why don't we drink a glass of wine?" β
Sure enough, the bet was right.
As soon as she heard this, the princess of all saints was even more tender, and her big watery eyes were delicate.
"Husband......
"Baby ......"
The two crossed their arms and really drank a glass of wine.
"Heart and liver baby, we must have a good drink today, come, keep drinking!"
"Bring the wine!"
Gu Ming was intent on getting the Princess of All Saints drunk.
Because when people are drunk, they are easy to lose their vigilance, and they will not pay attention to some details, and they like to tell the truth.
That way, it's easier to get the news you want.
How could the poor princess of Halloween guess that the one who called her heart and soul baby, and poured wine cup after cup was actually a fake horse?
It's just that the husband is a little blocked in his heart and wants to borrow wine to drown his sorrows.
As a wife, she naturally has to share her husband's worries. Therefore, as gentle as possible, those who come do not refuse.
Moreover, from time to time, she is coquettish, and she has to let her husband feed her mouth-to-mouth......
At this point, Gu Ming really didn't want to take advantage.
In order to accomplish the task, sometimes it is necessary to make a little personal sacrifice appropriately.
In short: he can't suffer a loss, he can't be fooled.
In fact, Gu Ming's performance can be regarded as catching up with the time, and the nine-headed insect has indeed been panicked in recent days.
He has a big brother...... But it's not a big brother, it's a big brother.
His eldest brother is not small, but he is one of the famous ancient beasts: Qiqi!
In terms of fame, strength, and status, the nine-headed insect is naturally far inferior to Qiqi.
Therefore, no matter how arrogant and arrogant he is, he can only be condescended to be a junior brother in front of Qiqi.
Poor and cruel by nature, in folklore, is a typical representative of advocating good and promoting evil.
There are many disasters in the human world that are caused by poverty.
In a word, as long as this guy appears somewhere, then this place will inevitably fall into a huge disaster.
Although the power of the hydra is not weak, its strength is endless, and this guy naturally wants to pursue more powerful power.
As a result, because of his eagerness for success and profit, he ate a lot of things that he shouldn't have eaten, which caused a little problem in his cultivation and damaged his body.
In desperation, the nine-headed insect went to ask Qi Qi for help, wanting to ask Qi Qi to solve the hidden dangers of his body.
However, Qi Qi is a greedy person, how can he act for nothing?
The guy also heard that the hydra had a new treasure, and the couple regarded it as a treasure, so they offered to let the hydra give it to him......
In this way, the hydra is a little embarrassed.
Because the relics Princess Wansheng also liked it very much, for this reason, the Princess of All Saints even did not hesitate to steal a nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum grass planted by the Queen Mother, and used it together with the relics to warm up the treasures.
If this is to give away the relics, not only will the previous hard work be in vain, but it will also make his wife unhappy.
Sure enough, after the Princess of All Saints learned about this, she was very unhappy and was reluctant to give away the treasures she had received.
However, thinking about it, if he didn't give away the treasure, Qi Qi would not be willing to heal his husband's injuries.
Therefore, for this matter, the husband and wife fell into contradictions and entanglements.
After much consideration, the Princess of All Saints finally decided to endure the pain and give the relics to Qi Qi, so as not to affect her husband's cultivation in the future.
However, there must still be complaints in my heart.
This is also the reason for the poor mental state of the hydra.
While drinking, the Princess of All Saints confided some dissatisfaction through the strength of the wine......
Although the amount of information revealed was not large, it allowed Gu Ming to grasp the key to it:
One: The eldest brother of the nine-headed insect worship is Qiqi.
Two: The relics have been taken away by the nine-headed worm, and they are ready to give it to Qiqi, and let the other party help heal their wounds.
In this way, you can only intercept the hydra halfway...... But the odds are slim to none.
After all, after all, such a long time has passed, and the important thing is that Gu Ming doesn't know where the Qiqi Cave Mansion is at all.
If you ask the Princess of All Saints, wouldn't it be a face-to-face show?
It seems that she can only be drunk first...... Of course, we can't be unsober, we have to master a degree.
Drink after jug......
Finally, the Princess of All Saints had almost drunk, and the whole person was a little unstable, and her speech began to be a little slurred.
This level is just right, I can't drink it anymore, and I'm afraid I'll lie down if I drink it again.
So, Gu Ming wanted to take this opportunity to ask a few key questions.
Unexpectedly, the princess of all saints staggered into his arms, looking delicate and delicate with no strength to drink: "Husband, help ...... Help the concubine back to the room.
The concubine has to be with her husband...... A ...... of love with my husband"
Gu Ming: "......"
