Down the mountain is the border. Another country is called Wuji Country. The country was originally stable, but due to the influence of Baoxiang Country, there were many more refugees.
They couldn't defeat the Jiejiao gods of Baoxiang Kingdom, but they could deal with the Wuji Kingdom's army, so they occupied the Wuji Kingdom and became kings, making the people's livelihood miserable.
It is said that they are all people from the Buddhist country and should be peaceful, but the evil spirit has already entered their hearts. They are defeated and cannot survive. It is no wonder that they turn to evil and fearless people. Some rabbits that do not bite people become cannibals and do not spit out bones.
The hungry wolf.
The Wuji Kingdom was retreating steadily, and seeing that the royal city was about to be lost, a veteran suddenly appeared to help, and the situation was stabilized.
However, it is difficult to hold up a tree alone. It is more than enough to defend the city, but not enough to make progress. It can only watch a large number of bandits running rampant and occupying the country.
…
There are few people in Xiniu Hezhou who don't know the name of Xuan Yan and his entourage, because they were the ones who made Baoxiangguo find an excuse to eliminate Buddha.
When the bandits saw them, they looked like gods of plague and wanted to chop them into pieces with their knives.
But there is still a Monkey King, the Monkey King Monkey King Sun Wukong. He doesn’t even have to try, he knows he can’t beat them, so he can only watch them leave.
Xuan Yan and others were also frightened for a while. If Zhu Bajie had ignored the Monkey King and the Monkey King did not come back, they might have to fight all the way.
The problem is that the magic power of these bandits is really not weak. They have basic Buddhist skills and advanced demonic skills. They practice both Buddhism and Demonism. The master of Jinchi Academy is nothing more than this.
And along the way, there are such bandits everywhere, it's no wonder that the Wuji Army can't deal with them.
…
Xuan Yan really wanted to persuade these Buddhist disciples who had gone astray to return to the right path, but his Buddhist teachings were not enough, and they were not enough to convert him.
Fortunately, Yamazaki and others took over later, which reassured Xuan Yan.
It was up to Gao Cuilan to persuade them one by one to return to their homeland.
In terms of cause and effect, Gao Cuilan, the former leader of Baoxiang Kingdom, had already circled those Buddhist kingdoms, and they had no reason not to go back.
If they comply, let them take it with them and salute them and leave. If they don't comply, humph.
Li Yingqiong, Zhou Yanyu, and Scorpio were all bored and wanted to rob, and Li Jingxun also wanted to get more fighting experience.
Arrest the person and send him to the Farewell Joyful Heaven or the pagoda of the Nine Sufferings Monastery, where he will be handed over to you to collect merits.
In terms of cause and effect, Li Yingqiong took a ride on the Farewell and Joyful Heaven, which was regarded as a gift to the Farewell Buddha Wu Jieya.
Li Jingxun got married to Princess Lihua, and got married to Jinchi, the current master of Jiu Ku Chan Monastery.
Zhou Yanyu took the ride to Yamazaki, and the ride to Xu Feiniang.
…
In order to wipe out the bandits in the Wuji Kingdom this time, Xuan Yan deliberately did not walk in a straight line, but walked in zigzags, trying to visit every force so that Yamazaki and others could deal with them all.
The Wuji Kingdom is only a few hundred thousand miles away, and it can only take three or four years to travel in a straight line.
But walking back and forth was another matter. It took nine years of running before we reached the royal city.
At this time, Xuan Yan was nearly eighty years old.
…
After entering the city and clearing the customs, Xuan Yan and others were planning to leave after staying in an inn for one night.
After dinner in the evening, we went shopping together as usual to experience the local customs.
Everyone laughed and played until the moon rose. Sha Monk was walking on the road and suddenly felt that something was wrong in the palace. It was full of black air and full of ghosts.
Sha Monk cultivates the ghost path, so everyone believes that his words are not without purpose.
Sun Houhou simply transformed into a night bird and sneaked in to check, but he saw that the ghostly energy came from a well in the cold palace.
He didn't want to do this job, so he went back to find someone to help him.
Xuan Yan thought that his current fighting ability was only mediocre, so he asked his disciples to go with him.
Monkey Sun asked him to sit in the middle of the room, then drew a circle with a golden hoop, and used his small magical power to draw the ground as a prison to build a protective place.
Xuan Yan and others as jailers could come in and out freely, but others could not come in or out.
…
Cold palace.
Sun Houhou brought his three junior brothers over and asked them to go down into the well.
Zhu Bajie didn't want to move, so Sha Seng and Xiao Bailong went down.
After a while, Sha Seng came to see Zhu Bajie.
Sun Houhou was surprised, "Junior Brother Sha, what's going on?"
"Sir, this king is so lucky that he actually raised a dragon and helped the dragon build a crystal palace at the bottom of the well."
"So what? But he did evil?"
"My little brother couldn't explain this clearly at the moment. I came because Xiao Bailong said that the second senior brother was Marshal Tianpeng back then and had learned how to control the dragon clan. He asked him to go down and win the trust of the Well Dragon King."
"It's true. I'll wait until I, the old pig, change my appearance."
Zhu Bajie turned into a human form and followed him into the water.
…
Downhole.
Outside the magnificent Crystal Palace, Xiao Bailong was talking to King Jing Long. When he saw Zhu Bajie coming, he immediately introduced him.
Zhu Bajie kneaded the secret and cast the spell, which immediately caused the two dragon clans to feel it.
King Jing Long believed their identities this time and led them inside for a detailed discussion.
The black energy in the palace does indeed come from the well, and it comes from a body, the contemporary king of the Wuji Kingdom.
More than thirty years ago, Baoxiang's country conquered the world, causing banditry in Wuji country.
An old Taoist helped to protect the royal city and the lifeline of the Wuji Kingdom.
The king asked the old Taoist priest to stay and treat him as a national teacher.
But he didn't want to be fooled by the old tricks, seize the throne step by step, and even cause the son to kill his father.
The old king fell into a well and should have died. It was the Well Dragon King who saved him and preserved his last trace of yang energy.
It's just that the old king was full of resentment and suddenly became a demon.
The Dragon King of the Well didn't want him to go out and another father would kill his son, so he kept him at the bottom of the well.
The resentment of the old king accumulated more and more, and the magic power became more and more powerful. Even King Jinglong couldn't suppress it, and then the resentment of the old king rushed out of the well.
…
Everyone was confused after hearing this. They couldn't understand the feud between the throne and the fighting and killing between father and son.
Reluctantly, he went back to Xuan Yan and explained the situation to him.
Xuan Yan was very dizzy after hearing this. All he could think of was to help the old king regain the throne from his son.
If it were before, he Xuan Yan would think it was right, but now that he has rich experience, he also understands that the matter of the throne cannot be judged simply by right or wrong.
From a causal perspective, the old king was replaced because of his lack of ability.
As a result, the Wuji Kingdom was in turmoil and bandits were rampant.
For the sake of peace and prosperity for the country and the people, it would be appropriate for him, the king, to abdicate the throne in favor of a worthy person, let alone give up the throne to his son.
The civil and military officials did not collectively stand up to oppose it. I'm afraid they all had the same calculation. They all believed that the old king was not talented enough and it was time to replace him.
In this case, how to deal with this matter?
"Amitabha, Wukong, please go to the Imperial Preceptor's house to find out whether the Imperial Preceptor is good or evil, and what his intentions are."
Sun Houhou laughed and said, "Master, how easy is it to distinguish between good and evil? A very evil person can also be a very kind person."
"I think of Li Er from the Li family dynasty in your hometown. He killed his brother and imprisoned his father to become the emperor. As a result, over the years, most people in the world thought that he was a wise and heroic ruler."
"Also, let's talk about the emperor who banned Buddhism when you came. I heard that when he was young, he worked hard to govern, and when he got old, he only pampered his concubine, leaving the country to others, but he still held the throne and refused to let go."
"In the end, the army mutinied and the world was in chaos, forcing him to flee the royal city."
