At dawn, Xuanzang and his entourage were placed in an open-air square.

This large square, which resembles an arena or school ground, is surrounded by a circle of iron chains that act as railings and are guarded by a large army...... It's not as tight as a prison, but it's still very tight. After all, in the face of the current team of 1,000 people, this small country in the Western Regions has long run out of prisons to use.

In the palace, a civil official hurriedly came to the king and knelt down: "Your Majesty, the national teacher is already outside the door." ”

The candle that had been burned all night had already dripped from the candlestick.

In the small hall, the old king raised his head a little groggy, looked at the civil official in front of him and said softly: "There is a national teacher." ”

"No. ”

The civil servant saluted and turned to leave.

"Well, he's finally here. The minister, who was standing on the side with a gray beard but still looked very tough, said sharply: "I actually transferred all the guards guarding the palace and put Your Majesty in danger. ”

This remark was very serious, but the old king didn't seem to care, but he didn't sleep all night, and he couldn't stay up, and his eyes were hazy, and he couldn't lift his senses.

After a while, the multi-eyed monster walked into the hall, bowed down and said, "Poor Dao Duomu, see Your Majesty." ”

Hearing this, the old king hurriedly waved his hand: "No courtesy, no courtesy." ”

The multi-eyed monster slowly let go of his hands and straightened his waist. It was as if he had never made a mistake at all.

The minister on the side was a little unable to hold back, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand, but saw that the old king was already quietly hinting at him not to say more. I had to keep my mouth shut unwillingly.

There was a slight silence. The old king stroked his long beard and said, "Much-eyed Aiqing." I heard that you transferred all the king's guards yesterday, but is there such a thing?"

"It is true. The multi-eyed monster raised his head and said loudly: "It's just because a demon monk came from the east, and together with some bandits, he injured the soldiers patrolling the city at the entrance of the vegetable market." In order to prevent this demon monk from harming the people, the poor Dao had the courage to borrow His Majesty's guards. I also ask Your Majesty for forgiveness. ”

The mouth said, "Please forgive your majesty", but many eyes blamed the face, but there was no guilt at all. Time. Several ministers present were even more furious, clenched their fists one by one, and burst into bruises.

It's a pity that the Big-Eyed Monster didn't take them seriously at all.

"I see. The old king breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What kind of demon monk is this demon monk? Can you know how to call the wind and rain?

"Your Majesty, it's just some sideways. The multi-eyed monster didn't even glance at those ministers, but only bowed slightly to the old king and said, "Your Majesty, the demon monk has been taken down by the poor Dao people." Fortunately, the people were not harmed, and now they are being imprisoned in Qiyuntai. ”

"Just take it. Just take it. The old king laughed: "Duomu Aiqing has made a great contribution again, and this king has no reward." ”

"Your Majesty......"

The minister was about to speak, but was stopped by the old king waving his hand.

Raising his hands and stretching his waist, he glanced at the ministers on both sides intentionally or unintentionally, and the old king sighed softly: "Since the matter is over, you Aiqing will not sleep all night, and go back to rest early." Stand down. ”

As he spoke, no matter what the other ministers had to say, the old king had already stood up with the dragon case in his arms, and walked leisurely towards the back hall with the support of his attendants on the left and right.

For a while, the ministers present all looked at each other, and their faces were pale. Only the multi-eyed monster still looked.

After a short silence, the multi-eyed monster said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty is tired, you need to rest." Today's morning court is exempt, so let's go home early to rest. If there is something urgent, just hand it over to the poor as usual. The poor road will be handed over to His Majesty. ”

The ministers glared at him one by one, but none of them dared to reprimand him to his face.

After a stalemate for a while, the ministers walked away one by one, and there was only one person left in the hall. He stroked his long beard and turned to leave.

......

At this time, under the scorching sun, there was silence in the open-air square where Xuanzang and others were imprisoned.

It's different from when it first started.

When Xuanzang first arrived at the quarry, the monks regarded him as a savior, thinking that Xuanzang could save them from the sea of suffering. After the army was surrounded, among the chaotic arrows, Xuanzang became a lifesaver.

However, now that he is imprisoned, it is a different situation.

The monks whispered, and gradually, they seemed to have realized that their bloody disaster, life and death disaster, were all caused by Xuanzang and others. The eyes that looked at Xuanzang changed a little, and they lost the original heat, but turned to a trace of resentment.

Of course, there are canopies and others, and no one dares to say it, but their demeanor has already told everyone the truth.

No one pestered Xuanzang to ask anymore, and they even couldn't avoid Xuanzang one by one, even if they sat cross-legged, they couldn't wait to sit farther away.

The square is circular, heavily guarded and chained to serve as a bar.

The funny thing is that unlike the scene in the quarry, in the quarry, they entangled Xuanzang one by one, eager to pull Xuanzang's sleeves and hug Xuanzang's thighs. Now......

Xuanzang sat cross-legged in one corner of the square, and the rest of the people crowded into the other corner, and there was a lack of moon in the square for no reason.

Xuanzang naturally saw all this, but he lowered his eyebrows and said nothing. Under the scorching sun, those lips were chapped.

Several other people in the team, canopy, roller blinds, and black bear spirits were still standing beside Xuanzang.

The little white dragon who was squatting on the side suddenly saw something, and one got up and rushed towards the monks.

For a while, several monks sitting in the front row were so frightened that they crawled.

"You!" Standing in front of the monks, the little white dragon pointed to one of them and said, "Give me some water." ”

The monks looked back.

The monk who was hiding in the crowd hurriedly stuffed the kettle in his hand into his sleeve and pretended not to hear.

"Just say you, I've seen it all. Give me the kettle. ”

The monk still pretended not to hear. Close your eyes and chant the Buddha.

The little white dragon suddenly became angry.

He jumped to his feet. It fell into the crowd at once.

The monks screamed and fled in all directions, but the monk who was holding the kettle in his sleeve still endured motionless. By the time he realized that everyone around him had fled, it was too late.

The little white dragon tugged at his sleeve and lifted him up from the ground.

"You...... What are you going to do, what are you going to do?"

"Give me the water. It doesn't matter how many of us are, Master Xuanzang is a mortal, if you continue to be exposed to the sun like this, one of you will accidentally die of sunburning!"

"Don't you have great powers? Don't rob him of my water!"

"Without him, you would have died! You wouldn't even give him a sip of water?"

"Nonsense! We wouldn't have died that many people at all!"

Under this shout, all of a sudden, the open-air square, which had been disturbed by the little white dragon, fell silent.

The monks looked at Xuanzang with some horror, looked at Tianpeng and the others beside Xuanzang, and then looked back at the monk who was crushed to the ground by the little white dragon.

Xuanzang opened his eyes slightly, still without saying a word.

The little white dragon looked at the monk who was restrained by himself with some astonishment.

The monk also looked at the little white dragon in horror, and after a while, he mustered up his courage and shouted, "Am I wrong? After you came...... It's only been one day. One day...... We've had so many deaths...... My master is dead, and so is my brother...... Am I wrong?"

That's it. The monk was already crying.

The people around him shrank nervously, not listening or looking, as if the monk's cry did not exist at all.

Xuanzang still sat quietly, looking at the monk who was crushed to the ground by the little white dragon from a distance, without saying a word. In that gaze, there was an unrelieved helplessness.

Glancing back at Xuanzang, the little white dragon hesitated slightly, and finally rolled his eyes and took the kettle from the monk's sleeve.

"Even if your father dies, this kettle will have to be handed over. ”

Holding the kettle, the little white dragon walked back step by step.

The monks dodged one after another.

Walking in front of Xuanzang step by step, he unscrewed the kettle and handed it to Xuanzang's mouth: "Drink saliva, don't shoot you to death at that time, but die of thirst." ”

Xuanzang's gaze still stayed on the sobbing monk in the distance, and he saw God.

After a while, he reached out and took the kettle from the little white dragon's hand, and took it along with the lid, but instead of drinking it, he twisted it back, holding the kettle and walking towards the monk step by step.

The little white dragon was dumbfounded.

He watched Xuanzang walk through the place where the monks were sitting, walked step by step to the monk who had collapsed on the ground, and bowed down to hand the kettle back.

The monk looked at Xuanzang with wide eyes slightly, and for a while, he didn't know whether to take it.

"This friend of the poor monk, although reckless, has no malice. Thank you for your understanding. ”

The monk snatched the kettle from Xuanzang's hand, held it in his arms, and flashed into the distance.

Looking at his empty hands, Xuanzang straightened up and walked back step by step.

"Are you stupid to chant Buddha? I snatched it for you, and you returned it?"

"Ao Lie, shut up!" said the canopy on the side.

Under a reprimand, the little white dragon had to shut his mouth unwillingly. After taking two steps away, he turned back and muttered, "I mean you're done, I can give my cousin a little drink." He was still wounded...... I didn't expect you to ......."

Gritting his teeth, the little white dragon sat down beside Yu Jie with an angry expression.

Xuanzang glanced at the pale face of Xuanzang who was lying on the ground, and bowed slightly. Na Jie also seemed to understand, and nodded to Xuanzang with difficulty.

......

"Have you looked at this carefully?"

"Teacher of the country, I have seen it with my own eyes. ”

Hearing this, Duomu couldn't help but laugh.

For a while, the three Taoist priests beside the multi-eyed monster were all unknown.

"Your Excellency, ...... you"

The multi-eyed monster beckoned with a smile, and the general hurriedly stepped forward.

After a whisper, the general answered the word "no" and turned and ran out of the hall.

After the general left, the multi-eyed monster said leisurely: "Interesting, really interesting." Tianpeng and the others left a spell on their weapons, so that I could not take their weapons after waiting for a while. In that case, let's take a different approach. ”

Looking at the three Taoist priests beside him, the multi-eyed monster whispered: "Give them water, only a little, and only the monk who was originally imprisoned in the quarry." (To be continued......)
