After explaining the purpose of his trip to his fellow travelers, Yuan Hong made the auspicious cloud land in the wilderness far away from the city and prepared to walk to the "Country of Tianzhu".
"So, the purpose of our trip is to find the little girl whose name once appeared in 'Ling Yun Ferry', and then take her away from this 'Pure Land of Bliss'?" Dai Li concluded: "It doesn't sound right.
Why is it difficult?"
"Hey, there is an easier way. What we are looking for to take away on this trip is not the girl herself, but the blindfold she wears on her face." Yuan Hong glanced at him: "You can take advantage of her when she is not prepared.
Put on the blindfold and run away."
"Oh? This seems to be a feasible solution. Judging from her height, all she needs to do is grab her by surprise... No, wait, it seems that we have to consider the issue of laces and hats?" Dai Li began to simulate in his mind.
"..." Jin Dasheng stared at Dai Li for a moment and realized that he was serious about this idea, and then he said: "Stop thinking about it, the king is playing tricks on you."
"Ah?" Dai Li was startled and suddenly realized the problem: "That's right! She is not an ordinary little girl whose strength has been suppressed. She is the origin of this 'pure land of bliss'. Let's take her away or rob her.
The blindfold is the same as going to Xuanyuan Tomb to cause trouble for Master Tushan!"
"And we were able to come in just now because we got her permission. Although I don't know what Commander Yuan did to make her mistakenly think that we are members of the church, but this impression will definitely collapse after we actually commit hostile acts." Sirius also said.
.
"Then, he becomes the enemy of the whole world." Kong Xuan chuckled, as if he didn't care much: "Although this world is a bit small."
"Hey, did you see it too?" Yuan Hong didn't care about being exposed, and turned to Kong Xuan and asked.
"Hey!" Although Dai Li was angry, he could only yell meaninglessly because he had been tricked many times and couldn't beat Yuan Hong.
"Oh, of course," Kong Xuan gestured to all directions: "This 'Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss' only includes the country of Zhu and surrounding villages and towns. If you walk straight out, you will eventually return to this location from the other side."
"Then how do we leave?" Dai Li understood this time.
Yuan Hong waved his hand: "As long as we can get the 'eyepatch', this small world can be said to belong to us. Getting in and out is just a trivial matter. Whether we can escape from the angry hands of the two half-step saints is the important thing."
"That's right, Your Majesty." Dai Li replied without hesitation.
"..." Yuan Hong was speechless for a moment, then scratched his chin: "...It's absolutely correct."
Hahaha... Dai Li felt secretly happy. It was completely impossible for the king to make him panic over this issue. After all, he and Jin Dasheng were just ordinary demon kings. If they wanted to deal with the saint, even half a step would be a dream.
Even so, they followed Yuan Hong without hesitation to do this deception of the saint. The only reason was their trust in Yuan Hong's strength.
Yuan Hong may often play tricks on the commanders of Meishan, but he has never harmed anyone, and no matter how much trouble his men cause, he can always solve it easily.
Therefore, a long time ago, the Meishan commanders had given up guessing how powerful Yuan Hong was.
"In short, let's make some preparations and go to the city to find the female doll." Yuan Hong gave up on the matter in a blink of an eye: "Since we are traveling together, let's make up our identities first."
————
After a while.
"My lord... do you really think this is a good idea?" Dai Li, who had transformed into his original form, shook his hair frantically.
For no other reason, after confirming his identity, Yuan Hong turned his iron rod into a brush, and with a few strokes, he turned the native dog into a golden retriever.
"Are you satisfied," a tall bay horse next to him said, making a golden sound: "Not only has my color changed, but my breed has also changed."
"It's a species, hahaha!" A gray falcon flapped its wings and laughed.
Have you changed from the Golden Crow to the Goshawk? Dai Li looked up at Sirius. Since he could fly now, he gave up his plan to expose him.
"I also think this is unconsidered," Kong Xuan pulled the long bow in his hand: "Even if you pretend to be a son of a wealthy family, why do you want to return from hunting? There is no need for meat at all in this pure land of paradise?"
Kong Xuan didn't make any changes. He just tied up his black hair slightly, put on a brocade hat, and put on a mink fur coat. The nobility of his body could not be concealed at all.
"Don't worry about it, don't worry about it. It makes sense for me to do this." Yuan Hong circled him twice with the stick: "Remember, your name is [Rama], and you came to Tianzhu to find your lost sister [Sita]."
"Oh." Kong Xuan raised his eyebrows in response.
I always feel that the king is playing some kind of trick that none of us know about... Dai Li decided to ignore this problem for the time being and said, "Your Majesty, you haven't changed yet."
"I don't need to change," Yuan Hong picked up the stick and juggled it back and forth more than a dozen times before saying, "I am the monkey king [Hanuman] whom Prince Rama met on the way."
Why is the crossbow so slow? Where did the prince come from?
Oh, for the children of Zulong and Yuanfeng, even a prince is considered low.
"That's it, Rama," Yuan Hong changed his words directly, "When you see the big rock over there, shoot it with an arrow."
"Okay." Kong Xuan didn't ask why, he took a quick glance, and the bowstring in his hand suddenly rang.
Dai Li didn't even see the trajectory of the arrow clearly when he heard a dull sound coming from the direction of the boulder. When he looked again, only a tail feather was left exposed and trembling uncontrollably.
"Well... they are from the same root... that's all." Yuan Hong said incomprehensible words, while approaching the stone, raised his hand and pressed it, and the original boulder turned into a giant yellow-skinned and black-striped one with an arrow in the head.
The tiger, of course, is dead.
...Well, can a stone be said to be dead?
"You can actually change anything outside of you at will in the pure land of Western teachings?" Kong Xuan was a little surprised.
"[I], of course." Yuan Hong said an explanation that seemed very unreasonable, but sounded very convincing.
Needless to say, Dai Li and Jin Dasheng, even Sirius and Kong Xuan accepted this statement after thinking about it carefully.
"Okay, it is our prey. Everything is ready. All we need is the east wind. Let's go into the city." Yuan Hong grabbed the tiger by the back of the neck and picked it up.
Where did that proverb come from? Dai Li turned his head and thought, but didn't know why, and finally followed Kong Xuan with his tail wagging.
————
Tianzhu country.
Is this city... so big?
When he fell downwards in the air, Dai Li could still clearly see the outline of the huge city, and could even vaguely distinguish the nine main roads running vertically and horizontally, the fields inside the city walls, and the white smoke igniting from the workshops everywhere.
However, probably because it is a Buddhist land, there is no place like a palace in the city. If you insist on talking about it, it is probably the majestic Lingshan Mountain that emits colorful Buddha light every moment.
But after landing on the surface, the city wall almost filled the horizon. When he was now inside the city, he even had the illusion that "one city is the entire world."
"Perhaps this is the reason why it is called 'Tianzhu Kingdom' rather than 'Tianzhu City'," Kong Xuan said as he rode on horseback. "Compared to Shangqiu, where 'one city is one country', this place may be called 'Tianzhu City'."
One country is one city'."
Is there a difference? Dai Li barked twice in confusion.
"What the prince said is true." Yuan Hong answered casually, holding the tiger on his shoulders.
After entering the city, this team indeed attracted the attention of residents along the way, but not to see tigers, but to see monkeys.
It's nothing unusual to see a dead tiger, but it's the first time I've seen a monkey wearing armor, holding a stick, and being able to talk.
However, since these residents had already lost most of their desires and dispersed after seeing the strange thing, they did not cause road congestion along the way.
"Prince, can you see what's wrong with this city?" Yuan Hong asked Kong Xuan casually while carrying the tiger.
"Well... there are no children, old people, and few women. There are meat and vegetable restaurants, but no wine. There is a market, but traders only barter. At the same time, there are no offices or military camps responsible for public security and defense.
, and there is no king or king responsible for governance." Kong Xuan replied thoughtfully: "So your tigers should not be sold."
"Of course there is no king, because when this 'Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss' was formed, the first 'human king' had not yet been born," Yuan Hong responded: "The strange thing you mentioned is actually the human race's hundreds of thousands of years of understanding the original style.
'improvement', while the Pure Land will only 'expand' and not 'progress'."
"Well...then how are you going to find that girl in this huge city?" Kong Xuan turned to business.
"Do nothing," Yuan Hong pointed in the direction of Lingshan: "If my prediction is right, if we wander around for a while, the administrators of the Western Church will come to our door - if we had not met that little girl before that,
Baby, go with them and take advantage of the opportunity."
"What if she lives far away?" Dai Li asked, then realized something was wrong, so he quickly added: "Wow!"
"Heh... As the actual controller of the 'Pure Land of Paradise', I want to meet these weird and interesting outsiders like us. Will distance be a problem?" Yuan Hong responded.
"Laomo", "Xiduo", "Hanuman"? Weird enough, but where's the fun? Dai Li cursed, but didn't say it out loud.
"Then, if she didn't come..." Kong Xuan pondered.
"That means that 'she' herself cannot move at will. What we saw at 'Lingyundu' before was not an incarnation, but her true body. We had to search the Great Leiyin Temple on Lingshan Mountain to find her," Yuan Hong said: "
But the good thing is that in this case she won't object to our removal of the 'blindfold'."
The ones who opposed it at that time were probably the Three Thousand Arhats of Daleiyin Temple!
————
The group wandered around Tianzhu City for a long time, and the residents gradually lost interest in them. The tiger's body was also found and processed by a butcher - the reward was worthless tiger meat, more precious tiger bones and tiger bones.
The skin was pocketed by Yuan Hong.
At this moment, a fat monk wearing a bright red monk's robe, with a round head and big ears, a plump chest and belly, and a smile on his face rushed towards Yuan Hong and the others, calling out:
"Great Sage——"
"Tsk..."
Yuan Hong originally planned to go up to him, but after hearing these words, he grabbed Jin Dasheng's reins and turned around to leave.
"Wukong——" As a result, before taking two steps, the fat monk appeared in front of him again, and Yuan Hong turned around again.
"Monkey! Stop!" This time, the fat monk was everywhere.
Yuan Hong sighed and stopped: "Okay, what should I call you now? Budai Monk? Belly Immortal?"
"Hahaha, if you don't deserve it, just call the poor monk 'Lao Buddha'." The fat monk swayed, and the four figures merged into one, with a smile on his face.
At this moment, the space where the group of people was located seemed to be isolated, and the residents who were originally looking at the monkeys dispersed.
"If I knew you were here, I would never come." Yuan Hong looked at him sideways.
"What a coincidence, the poor monk knew you were coming and has been waiting here for a long time just to see your depressed expression." The fat monk continued to laugh.
There was someone who made King Yuan Hong helpless? Dai Li raised his head and stared at the fat monk, but he couldn't tell the depth.
As if feeling Dai Li's gaze, the fat monk turned around and looked at Dai Li, Sirius, Jin Dasheng and Kong Xuan, and laughed again: "Left holding the yellow, right holding the blue? Looking northwest? Shooting the Sirius? Hahaha
!”
"After I can see the future, I realize how annoying those guys who can see the future are," Yuan Hong gritted his teeth and picked out his ears: "Do you want to have a fight? Fatty?"
"You are no match for the poor monk." The fat monk raised his hands flat: "Look, 'Five Finger Mountain'."
"I'll let you become the 'Broken Finger Mountain' first!" Yuan Hong picked up the iron rod and hit the fat monk.
"The monkey is attacking the master - does anyone care -" The fat monk started running around Dai Li and others. At the same time, he took out a cloth bag from somewhere and kept throwing things out of it: "'Imitation King Kong'
'! 'Fragments of Laojun's alchemy furnace'! 'Spare golden hoop'! 'Half sleeve of Immortal Zhenyuan'! 'Hundred-eyed monster's prosthetic eyes'! 'Embers of Samadhi True Fire'! Nuerhe - oh, no,
I’m giving this away.”
Did something weird get mixed in just now? But it seemed like there was nothing weird... Dai Li looked confused.
"That's all." Yuan Hong stopped chasing: "If you want to stop me because you saw something, then I can only give up."
"Hahahaha - no need." The fat monk started to laugh again: "You know, the 'this future' and 'that future' we see now are not the 'future' we want to see."
"You can't do it either?"
"Not even a poor monk."
"So I wanted to try this."
"This method is very dangerous."
After a farce, the two sides started to fight again, and Dai Li decided not to ask but to listen.
"So, are you going to stop me?" Yuan Hong narrowed his eyes and looked at the fat monk.
"Of course - no." The fat monk expanded the pocket in his hand: "Come in, the poor monk will send you directly to see 'her'."
"Oh? So the reception has been restored? Then what is the purpose of helping us?" Yuan Hong looked at Lingshan and then at the pocket.
"The poor monk just wants to save the Arhats from being beaten. If they must be beaten, just go and get them." The fat monk said with an innocent face.
"I'll trust you once." Yuan Hong looked at the fat monk carefully and got into the pocket.
When Dai Li bowed and followed Yuan Hong into the pocket, he found that there was no need to do that at all. The entrance to the pocket expanded on its own to be as tall as three people as he passed by.
After everyone in the group came in, with a slight sway, the fat monk sang Buddhist music with a different tune:
"[Smile often, laugh at the ridiculous people in the world~ A big belly can tolerate things that are difficult to tolerate in the world]~"
