In the early morning, most of the Wuzhuang Temple and Wanshou City, which had been restored, were bathed in warm sunshine, and the monks who had been forced to wander for the night had gradually returned to their residences.

A few of the older monks carried tables and chairs and sat on the main road, registering the night's losses in order to ask for some assistance from Wuzhuang Temple.

In the Wuzhuang Temple, several Taoist disciples walked on the long stone steps with various utensils, and a long table draped in golden cloth was set up in the square in front of it, and a few simple offerings were placed on the table, with a bronze incense burner.

A few wisps of green smoke rose.

The monkey and Zhen Yuanzi stood silently in front of the long table, and there were more than ten Taoists from Wuzhuang Temple standing on the side, as well as Xuanzang and others including Lu Liugui who came over, as for the high sky, on the mountains in the distance, there were spies from all sides.

The monitoring of Wuzhuang Guan is far from over.

After a long time, a boy brought a bowl of water to the table.

The monkey looked at the rippling water in the bowl, and then at Zhen Yuanzi, his brows furrowed.

Zhen Yuanzi walked to the long table step by step, lit three sticks of incense, symbolically bowed to the east, and inserted it into the incense burner. Immediately after, he slashed his finger with his fingernail and dripped two drops of blood into the bowl.

The bright red blood met the clear water and quickly spread.

Turning around, Zhen Yuanzi handed the other three sticks of incense that were placed on the table to the monkey: "It's your turn." ”

However, the monkey did not reach out to take it.

After being silent for a while, Zhen Yuanzi stroked his long beard and chuckled, "What's the matter?

The monkey blinked his eyes and said, "It's not good to look at, it's also a great power." ”

"Is that believable?"

"Do I believe you or not?" the monkey said, rolling his eyes and glancing at the clouds overhead, "It only matters whether they believe it or not." ”

"Then what are you waiting for?"

Look at the blood in that bowl. The monkey sighed, "I wonder if the spider's blood is poisonous. ”

Saying this, Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help laughing, and said: "The older generation calls the poor Dao the six-legged spider Zhen Yuanzi, but in fact. The true appearance of the poor road is only similar to that of a spider, not a spider. The Great Sage can rest assured. ”

The monkey sighed and said, "But it's too much to think about, even if it's poisonous, it shouldn't kill me." If you want to be poisoned so easily, you might as well die. ”

As he spoke, he reached out and took the three sticks of incense in Zhen Yuanzi's hand. lit, symbolically bowed to the east, and sighed casually: "I don't worship much in my life, even if it is heaven and earth, this is only the second time." So, ah. That's a lot of face. ”

"When was the last time?"

"The last time I got married. ”

"Oh......" Zhen Yuanzi nodded slightly and said, "It seems that I still have to take the time to visit my brother and daughter-in-law in Huashan." ”

"Did you say you were a brother?"

"Poor Dao is tens of thousands of years older than you, Poor Dao is not a brother, are you coming?"

Inserting the three sticks of incense into the incense burner, the monkey slowly turned his head and snorted, "How about being only commensurate with brothers, no matter how young or old?"

Zhen Yuanzi smiled helplessly. spread his hands and said, "Okay, it's up to you." ”

Hearing this, the monkey reached out and cut his finger. Drip the blood into a bowl.

The black bear spirit on the side quietly leaned in the direction of the little white dragon and asked in a low voice, "Is this a spell?"

"It's not a spell. ”

"Isn't it? Then why do you suddenly want to be righteous?

"You don't understand this, do you?" Xiao Bailong raised his head slightly, and said proudly: "This is for others to see, Sanqing is silent, Su Bodhi Patriarch does not show up, Zhen Yuanzi and the Great Sage are righteous." It has already expressed its attitude towards this westward journey. In the future, we will also have a lot less trouble. ”

He hesitated for a moment. The black bear spirit shook his head and said, "I still don't understand." Didn't this Zhen Yuanzi hate Xixing to the core, and even fought with his life? Why did he suddenly become so supportive? He even took the initiative to form a rebellion. ”

"Maybe it's because I'm afraid that other monks will bump into him like him. He glanced back at the canopy, which looked indifferent. The little white dragon said softly: "The reason for the truth, I'm afraid that the pig will know it later." But he's also in the same boat as us, and he thinks it's good, so he should be really fine. ”

......

At this time, in front of the Jinguang Cave of Kunlun Mountain, hundreds of monks with different appearances had already gathered.

There are those with gray hair who look like old men, some who look middle-aged, some who look young with delicate faces, and some who look like children. But without exception, any of them were well-dressed and looked extraordinary.

These are actually the bigwigs of the various factions who are not serving in the Heavenly Court now.

After knowing that the war was caused by Xuanzang through the inner Taoists of Wuzhuang Temple, everyone rushed to Jinguang Cave overnight to ask to see Taiyi Zhenren.

It's a pity that Taiyi Zhenren is not in the view, and the Taoist disciples who guard the door are not allowed to enter, so that many Taoist characters who have won the stage can only gather at the gate and wait until now.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "Uncle Taiyi is back!"

Suddenly, everyone looked to the west.

In the distance, Taiyi Zhenren held the dust in his hand and came to the clouds, and his face was very ugly.

"See Uncle Taiyi!"

"See Uncle Taiyi!"

"See Taiyi Master Uncle Ancestor!"

Before Taiyi Zhenren landed, those monks had already bowed down one by one, however, Taiyi Zhenren didn't even have the slightest intention of returning the salute, even if it was to exempt them.

As soon as he landed, Taiyi Zhenren strode towards the gate with a blue face, as if the juniors around him did not exist.

After relieving themselves, the monks hurriedly surrounded Taiyi Zhenren and asked one by one.

"Uncle Taiyi, how to deal with the matter of Wuzhuang Temple?"

"Uncle Taiyi, the demon monkey has come out of the mountain, you have to worry about it. ”

"The golden cicada's westward journey was originally his Buddhist business, but it endangered my Taoist, I'm afraid. It's better to plan for this early......"

After all, this bustling area is full of people, but they are all people with some qualifications, so they naturally know etiquette, and no one dares to stand in front of Taiyi Zhenren directly.

As for the Taiyi Zhenren, it is still as if they do not exist zài. With an iron face, he walked towards the gate step by step. The monks had no choice but to follow closely.

In the blink of an eye, Taiyi Zhenren had crossed the threshold surrounded by all the monks.

A Taoist disciple hurriedly came to Taiyi Zhenren, bowed down and said, "Disciple greets the master." ”

Taiyi Zhenren stopped at this time.

At this pause, all the people around them fell silent, looking at Taiyi Zhenren blankly one by one, waiting for the statement of this temporary head of the sect. But Taiyi Zhenren just stood quietly.

A fresh breeze blew. Swaying the grass and trees in the courtyard of the Golden Light Cave.

After a long time, Taiyi Zhenren said softly: "Drive them out." ”

"Huh, get out?"

For a moment, the monks present were a little stunned, and they looked at each other one by one.

They were confused. The Taoist was not confused.

After receiving the order of his master, several Taoist disciples around him immediately surrounded him, made a gesture of please, and said, "Everyone, please go back first." ”

The few people led by him wanted to speak and stopped, but seeing the resolute appearance of Taiyi Zhenren who ignored him, he couldn't help it.

In desperation, I had to bow down one by one and ask for peace. Turn and leave.

In a short time, the gate slammed shut, and the foreign monks were driven out one by one.

Taiyi Zhenren took a deep breath at this time. He walked towards the Guannei and said softly: "In the future, if anyone looks for him, he will say that he is in retreat for the teacher, and he doesn't care about anything, and he can't control it." If there is any capable person to blame. He will give him the token of the teacher's teaching. ”

"Give him ......," the disciple was taken aback.

"Yes, to him. Who cares. Who's going to care. There is nothing you can do as a teacher. ”

The disciple was stunned. For a while, until Taiyi Zhenren walked out of the way. He came to his senses and hurriedly chased after him, and said in a low voice: "Master, what if a few uncles and uncles come to ask?"

"Are they coming?"

A few of them came, but most of them didn't say anything, just asked a little about the situation, and then left. ”

Taiyi Zhenren snorted coldly, blinked his eyes and sighed, "It's okay to ignore it......"

......

In the Wuzhuang Temple, the simple ritual has ended, and some of the spies around have left, and some are still staying in place trying to find out some new information.

After using the lunch meal under the hospitality of Zhen Yuanzi, the group resigned to Zhen Yuanzi, and let Zhen Yuanzi keep it, even if it was to make a gesture to the outside world, the monkey didn't want to live in this Wuzhuang view anymore.

After a period of persuasion, coupled with the fact that Tianpeng finally stated that he should stay for another night, the monkey reluctantly accepted it.

Taking this opportunity, Zhen Yuanzi once again proposed to Xuanzang that he wanted to discuss the way of Pudu with him.

For this, Xuanzang has palpitations.

was so polite before, even if it was the process of discussion, it was quite pleasant, but as soon as the discussion was finished, Zhen Yuanzi's face changed...... This worries everyone a little.

Under the persuasion of Tianpeng again, Xuanzang finally agreed to Zhen Yuanzi's request.

Of course, certainly not immediately. After a sleepless night, others can say that Xuanzang is just an ordinary man in the end, so he naturally has to rest first.

So they went back to the attic that had just been restored.

As soon as he entered the door, Lu Liugui began to chatter in the monkey's ear about the reactions of all parties in this situation, focusing on condemning the Peng Demon King and the Lion Camel King, and briefly passing over the Bull Demon King and the Nine-headed Worm who reacted, chattering all the way, which made the monkey a little annoyed. Qiang found a few reasons to drive him and the accompanying demon generals back, and suddenly felt that his ears were a lot cleaner.

After this leisure, the monkey remembered the whispering words between Tianpeng and Zhen Yuanzi again, but with this perception, he suddenly found that Tianpeng was gone!

......

At this time, twenty miles away from Wuzhuang Temple, the canopy that had been transformed back into a human body slowly descended to the edge of the tree-lined stream, looking around.

After a while, a silver figure slowly stood up from the knee-high stream.

"Is it Marshal Tianpeng?"

Hearing this, the canopy slowly turned his head.

Standing in the middle of the stream was a bearded general wearing the armor of the silver Heavenly Army, and look at the armband, it should belong to the Heavenly Survey Mansion.

Canopy slowly stretched out a hand towards him, which was holding a white silk in his hand.

"This is what you left behind?"

"Marshal Qiyu, it's really the last general's stay. ”

As he spoke, he walked up from the hidden stream step by step, knelt on one knee, and saluted the canopy.

Looking at the other party's standard posture, Tian Peng suddenly smiled dumbly, took a deep breath and said: "Get up, I'm no longer a marshal, my name is Zhu Gangguan now, I can't stand your courtesy." Say, who told you to come to me?"

That day the general smiled faintly, slowly got up, and arched his hand: "This is the will of His Majesty." ”

Looking in the direction of Wuzhuang Guan, the day general walked two steps towards the canopy, and said in a low voice: "Because it is a secret decree, there is no text, and it is also to avoid leaving a handle." However, the last general has the token of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall in his hand. ”

As he spoke, he took out a small gold-inlaid jade plaque from his waist and handed it to the canopy.

Tianpeng took the jade card and glanced at it casually, then threw it back again, and said coldly: "Say, what's the matter." ”

The heavenly general put away the important jade plaque and arched his hand: "Your Majesty has a decree, so that the marshal you lurk in the westward ranks, and if there is any abnormal movement, you can report the news to Your Majesty at any time through the Heavenly Survey Mansion." ”

Saying this, Tianpeng's expression suddenly froze, and he looked at Tianjiang motionlessly.

Immediately afterwards, there was a long silence, so long that even the generals felt uncomfortable.

"Marshal, this is ...... What's wrong?"

I only heard Tianpeng snort coldly and chuckled: "What kind of organization do I belong to now?"

"The establishment of the marshal, His Majesty Xià did not ......"

"I'll ask again. Interrupting the words of the general, Tian Peng said slowly: "Am I still a marshal? If not, what do you mean by calling me a marshal all the time? If so, what about my handsome seal? What about my soldiers and horses?"

With that, the canopy stared at the day with a smile. That smile looked more like a sneer.

At this time, the general was already speechless for a while, and he stammered for a while: "The marshal is too worried, about the incident of six hundred years ago, His Majesty also mentioned it. There is no doubt that it is an unjust case. ”

"Why not rehabilitate you?"

That day, the general retracted his attention slightly, and said in a low voice: "After all, it is the crime of the previous Jade Emperor, a big war, many witnesses and physical evidence are no longer there, and it is really difficult to rehabilitate now." ”

For a moment, Canopy almost burst out laughing.

Not to mention what kind of human and physical evidence will be on the already trumped-up charges, just this "human evidence and physical evidence" is gone, and the current Jade Emperor can still conclude that Tianpeng is innocent out of thin air, and this method is no worse than the previous Jade Emperor.

Suddenly, Tianpeng's eyes became more and more meaningful when he looked at the general.

Sensing the change in the canopy, the general still stubbornly continued: "However, yesterday's incident was only resolved by the marshal's action. This credit alone is not insignificant. His Majesty will definitely find an opportunity to rehabilitate the marshal and let the marshal return to heaven. Before that, please marshal ...... Continue to do our duty. (To be continued) R580
