Tang Seng was always kind and would rarely show such an expression. This really frightened Jiang Sanzhen, who hurriedly explained.
"Lord Buddha of Merit, this man did claim to be a debt collector, but he also did many evil things. We, the uncle and nephew, had no choice but to do something to him!"
Snapped!
Tang Seng slapped the air, and Jiang San's body flew upside down like a kite with its string broken, and fell heavily to the ground, with half of his face dented.
Jiang San struggled to get up from the ground. He covered his sore cheek and said with an aggrieved face, "Master Gongde Buddha, why do you want to beat the villain? The real madman is right next to you. If you don't beat him..."
Snapped!
Before he finished speaking, Tang Seng slapped Jiang San in the air again, causing Jiang San's entire face to become crooked.
If Tang Monk hadn't been a monk, he would have slapped Jiang San to death long ago.
Tang Monk looked angry and shouted with a dark face, "The debt collector has always been an upright man. How could you possibly do something like robbing a cassock? I know you are lying without even asking!"
"Tell me, what's the truth?"
"me……"
Jiang San's body suddenly trembled, his eyes swayed from side to side, and he felt guilty. He hesitated for a long time and was unable to say a word.
"Master Merit Buddha, I know the details."
At this moment, a soldier walked out from the crowd.
When he saw the soldier, Jiang San's heart suddenly skipped a beat, because this soldier was the soldier who was almost stabbed to death by Qin Tian's sword before. If Qin Tian hadn't turned the sword in time, the soldier would have been in the Palace of Hell by now.
reported.
"You know what you know, do you have the right to speak here? Get out of here!"
Jiang San grabbed a stone next to him and threw it towards the soldier, hitting the soldier on the forehead and causing blood to flow out.
But the soldier did not flinch, but clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "That young master is right, you two are not wise masters, and it is not worth working for you two."
"If that young man hadn't stopped in time, I would be a dead person now, so I must stand up and speak for that young man now."
After saying that, the soldier plopped down and knelt down towards Tang Monk, clasped his fists and said respectfully
"Mr. Merit Buddha, the reason why Young Master Jiang San Jiang can win the championship in the lantern riddle competition every year is because every year the city lord will tell Mr. Jiang the answer to the riddle, and then Mr. Jiang will memorize all the answers. This is what all the soldiers in our city lord's palace understand.
An undisclosed secret."
"Shut up, shut up!"
Jiang San became anxious and angrily got up from the ground, baring his teeth and claws and trying to rush towards the soldier.
"Certainly!"
Tang Monk stretched out his finger and fixed it in place. He looked at the soldier and said calmly, "Continue talking."
"yes!"
The soldier nodded and continued to list Jiang San's crimes one by one. "Secretary Jiang took advantage of the fact that he was the only child of the Jiang family and had the support of the city lord, so he went around doing evil things. He not only used the city lord to win the annual lantern riddle competition championship, but also used the prizes he got to do evil.
"
"The year before last, Mr. Jiang seized Yue Lao's red thread and tied all the women in Chang'an City to him with red threads, so that all the women in Chang'an City only liked him."
"That's not all. After Mr. Jiang got the monkey hair of the Fighting Holy Buddha, he became even more lawless. No one in the entire Chang'an City dared to offend him."
"There are also some boring games that Mr. Jiang usually plays. The villain can't finish talking about them for days and nights. The number of soldiers who died in Mr. Jiang's hands for no reason is not even a hundred but eighty or ninety. .”
"As for today's matter, I don't know much about it, because when I came over, Mr. Jiang had already started fighting with the debt collector..."
While listening to the soldier's narrative, Tang Seng's face became increasingly gloomy, and his face was so dark that ink was almost dripping from it.
After listening to the soldier's narrative, Tang Monk turned to look at Jiang San and said in a deep voice, "But is that so?"
"Nonsense, he is all nonsense!"
Jiang San's face was ferocious, and even if he couldn't move his whole body, he couldn't stop his murderous eyes.
"Just wait for me, and I will cut your whole family into pieces and make your mother-in-law lick my heels! You are dead!"
Snapped!
At this time, suddenly a figure rushed in front of Jiang San and slapped him. Jiang San looked at the person in front of him in disbelief and asked incomprehensibly, "Uncle...you...why do you want to hit me too?"
?It’s obviously him..."
"Shut up, don't you think the matter is not big enough? You said these dirty words in front of the Buddha, don't you think you died quickly enough?"
After Jiang Chang reminded him, Jiang San finally realized what he was doing and froze in panic.
Jiang Chang plopped down on the ground towards Tang Monk and begged with tears in his eyes.
"Master Merit Buddha, my nephew is just a little naughty. Sometimes he speaks without thinking. Please don't blame me. My nephew is usually very law-abiding. Please be aware of everything and don't listen to other people's slander."
"Others are slandering you? Well, then I will let your nephew say it himself."
After that, Tang Monk stretched out his hand and a golden light was injected into Jiang San's body, and then asked, "Jiang San, I have injected a spell into your body. If you lie, you will feel unbearable pain in your heart. I ask you, is it?"
Aren't the debt collectors robbing you of your cassock?"
"yes!"
Jiang replied without thinking, but as soon as he finished speaking, there was a heart-wrenching pain in his heart, as if someone was tearing out his heart. The pain was unbearable.
"It hurts, it hurts me to death... It hurts so much... Lord Merit Buddha, please spare my life. I have realized my mistake. I will never lie again. Please let me go..."
Jiang San was frozen in place, and could only cry out and beg Tang Monk for mercy. The unbearable pain actually caused him to become incontinent, and a pool of yellow liquid dripped from his crotch.
Looking at Jiang San's painful appearance, Tang Seng, who had always been compassionate, did not soften his heart, but said with an indifferent expression, "Tell me, what are the facts?"
In fact, with Tang Seng's strength, it is not difficult to figure out the truth with just a few fingers, but this will not make Jiang, San and his uncles and nephews realize their mistakes.
"I……"
Jiang San was extremely weak at the moment, his face turned pale, but in order to stop the pain in his chest, he could only tell the truth.
"The fact is... it was the villain who lost this lantern riddle competition. When the villain saw that the prize was a brocade cassock, he had evil thoughts and wanted to snatch it from the debt collector..."
"Is what the soldier said true?" Tang Monk asked calmly.
Jiang San gritted his teeth and nodded.
Now that things have developed to this point, all the truth has become clear.
When Jiang Chang saw this, he hurriedly kowtowed to Tang Monk and begged for mercy, "Mr. Merit Buddha, I know my fault, so please spare us."
Tang Seng looked indifferent, without the slightest hint of softness, and said calmly.
"you
You, uncle and nephew, take advantage of the power in your hands to regard life as a straw. I will not let you go easily today. I will punish you and turn you into a stone bridge, so that you two will also have a taste of being stepped on.
The feeling under your feet!”
Hearing this, Jiang San looked desperate and begged Tang Monk for mercy: "Master Gongde Buddha, I really know that I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again. Please forgive me!"
Jiang Chang also desperately begged for mercy and said, "Master Merit Buddha, please forgive me. Even if I indulge too much, I am still the lord of Chang'an City after all. Chang'an City cannot be without an owner for a day!"
"This is nothing for you to care about."
Tang Monk reached out and grabbed the wooden box in Jiang San's arms and sucked it into his palm. He said coldly, "This cassock is a sacred object given to me by the great master. You are not worthy to touch it."
Then Tang Monk waved his hand and threw the two of them out of Chang'an City, turning them into a stone bridge in a corner.
After the matter was resolved, Tang Seng removed the barrier, looked at the soldiers below and warned, "Don't make any noise about today's matter, just go back."
"yes!"
After the soldiers left, Qin Tian pretended to have just woken up, covered his forehead and said with a painful look on his face...
"Oh, come on, my head really hurts! I don't know how the great sage could withstand that diamond hoop."
In fact, Tang Monk also knew that Qin Tian had already woken up. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry, debt collector. It's all because of the poor monk's negligence that he passed the small steel hoop to such a city lord."
"By the way, this is your debt collector's cassock."
"The two uncles and nephews of the Jiang family have been dealt with by the poor monks. Is it okay for you to collect debts?"
Qin Tian took the cassock and put it into the storage ring.
As for Jiang's uncle and nephew, they already knew the process of Tang Seng's treatment of the uncle and nephew while they were pretending to sleep, so they didn't ask too much, but waved their hands, "It's nothing, it's just that my head is still buzzing.
"
"Haha, I didn't expect that the Debt Collector could wake up so quickly after being trapped by a small steel hoop. It's amazing. By the way, how come you, the Debt Collector, came to Chang'an City?" Tang Monk asked curiously, changing the subject.
"I am because of my future wife..."
When he was halfway talking, Qin Tiancai remembered this important matter, looked at Tang Monk and asked hurriedly, "What time is it now?"
Qin Tian suddenly reacted so strongly that Tang Seng was caught off guard. He replied with a blank look on his face, "Chenshi, are you in a hurry to collect debts?"
"Tatsuki!"
Qin Tian exclaimed, it seemed like it was just Mao hour when he left Nanyue Mountain, but now it was already Chen hour.
I didn’t expect that a lantern riddle competition would take so long.
"I don't know how Joey is doing."
Although Tieguai Li and Lu Dongbin had already rushed over, Qin Tian was still a little worried.
"Tang Monk, I'm going to leave first, and we'll meet again later."
"Hey, debt collector..."
Before Tang Monk could finish speaking, Qin Tian left Chang'an City with a thought.
Tang Seng originally wanted to win over Qin Tian to join Buddhism, but before he even started talking, he disappeared, leaving him alone and sighing helplessly.
…
Nanyue Mountain.
Rumble…
At this moment, the sky above Nanyue Mountain was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, as if all living things were resisting the coming disaster.
The earth below was a bleak color, dust was flying, the wind was howling, and countless creatures were fleeing in all directions. , but in an instant, there was no living thing within ten miles of Nanyue Mountain.
Except for the Suzaku clan.
Tuoba Qingyao looked at the scene in the sky and paced back and forth anxiously outside the door.
"Even if Miss Qiao was promoted through absorbing the inner elixir, isn't this catastrophe too abnormal?"
The situation in front of me was at least several times more terrifying than the True Immortal Heavenly Tribulation.
Tuoba Qingyao had realized earlier that Joey's catastrophe would not be easy. After Qin Tian left, he gathered all the clan members in the ancestral hall in the village to help Joey survive this catastrophe.
But looking at the current situation, it would be difficult for the entire clan to withstand this catastrophe.
Tuoba Qingyao can only place her hope on Qin Tian.
As long as you can get enough Yun Lei Gourd, you can survive even the most difficult calamity.
But an hour passed, and Qin Tian still didn't show up, which made Tuoba Qingyao almost stamp her feet in anxiety.
Tuoba Qingyao stretched her neck outside the door and said anxiously, "Master Qin, why haven't you come back yet? Miss Qiao's calamity is about to come. If she doesn't come back, our entire Suzaku clan may not be able to withstand this calamity."
At the same time, Joy in the room was absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and the essence of all things poured into her body like a tide.
Joey could feel that his body was slowly changing. Even though he was in a state of trance, he could still feel the external conditions within a three-mile radius.
Tuoba Qingyao was pacing anxiously outside the room. Other clan members appeared in the courtyard of the ancestral hall in the village. They hugged each other, as if they were afraid of something.
Not only these tribesmen, but also the earth, flowers, plants and trees seemed to be trembling, fearful of what was about to come.
The reason why Joey can feel this way now is because the wood element among the five elements can be integrated into all things and sense the existence of all things in the world after it has been cultivated to a certain level.
As long as there are living things on the earth, they are all within the sensing range.
Suddenly, Joey felt that there were two more people on the land. One of them walked slowly and slowly, and seemed to have bad legs and feet. The other had wind on his soles. He was a cultivator with extremely high levels of cultivation.
Outside the room, Tuoba Qingyao was shocked when he saw the two of them, wondering how the other party could pass through the barrier silently and come to her side.
"Who is coming? This place is going through a calamity. The rest of the people are waiting to get out of here quickly!" Tuoba Qingyao's face turned cold. He stretched out his hand and pulled out a whip, pointing it at the two of them and shouted.
"Hehehe, don't worry, girl, the two of us are here to help Miss Qiao survive the disaster."
Tieguai Li smiled happily, and a gourd appeared out of thin air in his palm.
"Is this...Yun Lei Gourd?" Tuoba Qingyao was a little surprised. The hostility in his body disappeared instantly, and turned into a trace of doubt as he looked at the two of them, "Are you two...?"
"You have recognized Yun Lei Gourd, is it possible that you still can't recognize Lao Chan?"
After saying that, Tieguai Li changed his appearance, losing the look of a sloppy old man with a cane and regaining his original appearance.
Lu Dongbin also waved his sleeves to remove the transformation technique from his body.
Tuoba Qingyao's pupils gradually narrowed, and she asked with surprise, "Are you two immortals, Tieguai Li and Lu Dongbin?"
"Hahaha... Exactly!" Tieguai Li smiled and nodded.
Tuoba Qingyao: "Why did you two come to Nanyue Mountain? Could it be that... Mr. Qin invited you here?"
"Exactly, the debt collector found the two of us and asked us to come over first to solve the catastrophe for Miss Qiao."
