Chapter 1003 Tang Sanzang: Stop pretending, I am Tang Sanzang!
Tang Sanzang took a deep breath, even his hands were trembling.
From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the row of corpses of believers that had been pulled away and piled next to a high pile of corpses.
The pile of corpses is being transported to the three-story tower, and the flames in the tower seem to be getting stronger.
Tang Sanzang's eyes narrowed. No wonder the flames in the tower were so strong when he came in. It turned out that they were the fuel for the flesh and blood of believers!
Tang Sanzang looked at the golden statue of Medicine Buddha in the hall,
Medicine Buddha has a benevolent face, solemn manner, blue body, black hair in a bun, ears hanging down from the shoulders, wearing Buddhist robes, with his chest exposed and his right arm exposed.
He holds a branch of myrobalan fruit in front of his right knee, and a Buddha bowl in front of his left navel. His feet are crossed in the center of the lotus throne. Behind him are halos, auspicious clouds, and distant mountains.
Duan is a good Buddha who saves the world.
Tang Sanzang's face was full of confusion and he murmured:
"In the Buddhist scriptures, Medicine Buddha once made a great vow to relieve the suffering of all sentient beings, so that all the faculties can reach liberation, so he became a Buddha in accordance with this vow."
"But when all the people here are like this, where does this compassion come from?"
When the old abbot saw the three masters and disciples of Tang Sanzang standing in the middle, but they still did not kneel down to worship the Buddha, he could not help but frown and shouted:
"Don't you want to worship Buddha? Come here and light some incense!"
Tang Sanzang sighed and took out the incense candle he brought.
This time, he did not light incense to worship the Buddha, but to save these miserable believers.
Tang Sanzang bowed respectfully to the pile of corpses three times, recited the Purana Sutra, and saved the souls of these souls who had fallen to death in front of the Buddha.
Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing also remained silent, clasped their hands and bowed several times to the dead. At this moment, some thoughts seemed to have settled in their hearts.
After Tang Sanzang finished praying, he inserted the incense candle into the incense altar in front.
However, the old abbot next to him looked furious. He grabbed the incense candle that Tang Sanzang had inserted into the incense altar, pulled it out suddenly, and threw it on the ground!
The old abbot stepped on the incense candle with his foot over and over again, while cursing fiercely:
"You, a Tang Dynasty monk, can't understand human language? Didn't I say that? In my temple, only our incense is allowed to be burned!"
"When you come to our temple, you can only buy our incense! This is the rule of our temple! Are you deaf!"
"Hurry up and hand over your cassock and exchange it for a set of incense candles! Otherwise, you will go to hell! Do you hear me?"
The old abbot took the incense from his Zen courtyard and pointed at Tang Sanzang angrily.
Behind the old abbot, a group of monk soldiers were already at war with each other, pointing at Tang Sanzang with murderous intent!
They have already dealt with many unruly customers who did not want to buy incense candles.
Even though Tang Sanzang seemed very tall, they were protected by divine generals, so they were not afraid.
Tang Sanzang gritted his teeth when he saw that the incense candle he used to save innocent believers was thrown to the ground and trampled on.
"How dare you evil ghosts living in the monastery to act so wantonly!"
"Is there really no royal law in this Baoxiang Kingdom?!"
The old abbot had a sarcastic smile on his face:
"You want to see Wang Fa? Then I'll let you see him!"
"Come in!"
The old abbot clapped his hands and saw groups of soldiers wearing armor rushing in from outside!
These soldiers surrounded the three masters and disciples of Tang Sanzang in three circles inside and three outside.
The soldiers were well-equipped with swords, spears, bows and arrows, and they were well-trained and surrounded the three masters and disciples of Tang Sanzang.
Tang Sanzang took a deep breath, his eyes burning with anger, "That's it!"
When Zhu Bajie saw this, he was so angry that he laughed instead.
"Master, it seems that we can't run away today. What I said before is right. Baoxiang Kingdom is a treasured place that worships heaven and Buddha!"
"No wonder they dare to be so arrogant. It turns out that they are working together, like a nest of snakes and rats!"
Sha Wujing has slowly taken out his crescent shovel,
"Master, the mission of eradicating evil has been completed, Sha Wujing is on standby!"
"Rescue them first. The scene later will be a bit bloody, so they are not suitable to be present." Tang Sanzang slowly leaned down, trying to help up the believers who were chained in front of the Buddhist hall.
However, those believers were extremely frightened. Even if Tang Sanzang helped him up, they knelt down again in fear.
He even kowtows harder to the golden statue of Medicine Master Buddha. This kowtow is not to pay tribute, but to beg for mercy.
"Please spare us, we are guilty and we should kowtow a thousand times here!"
"We don't want to fall into eternal hell, we don't want to be cut into pieces, so don't harm us!"
"There are still three hundred left. As long as I finish kowtow, I can go back to reunite with my family. Please forgive me!"
"My Buddha is merciful. They have spared us a chance to live. Please don't let us die!"
Tang Sanzang looked at the believers who kowtowed to the Medicine Buddha and begged for mercy.
Tang Sanzang couldn't help but raise his head high, the anger in his eyes could no longer be endured!
At this moment, the soldiers of Baoxiang Kingdom are ready to prepare.
A tall general of the Baoxiang Kingdom, wearing golden armor and holding a golden sword, walked up to the old abbot and looked at Tang Sanzang murderously.
"Old abbot, don't worry, our Baoxiang Kingdom will never condone these beasts who slander Buddhism!"
The smile on the old abbot's face became even more proud.
"Thank you, General, for protecting our safety. Next month our Guangming Temple will donate more of your thoughts, Amitabha."
"Without the general, these evil beasts who slander the Buddha's Dharma would not be able to subjugate the Dharma. Hmm, they really deserve to die!"
The general's face was full of arrogance,
"We, the king of Baoxiang Kingdom, respect heaven and worship Buddha. These beasts who do not respect Buddha should be hacked to death by nature. If it were not for your kindness, old abbot, even those who did not buy high-quality incense should be hacked to death!"
"No more words, old abbot, please step back and let us deal with these monsters. We will never let these monsters destroy the tranquility of our Baoxiang Kingdom!"
"Soldiers, come on over and kill these damned thugs!"
The well-trained soldiers immediately formed a lineup, and dozens of thick arrows were pointed at Tang Sanzang, his master and his disciples.
The old abbot and all the monks from Guangming Zen Temple also stepped aside and looked at the scene in front of them with a sneer.
In an instant, Guangming Temple turned into a battlefield!
The three masters and disciples of Tang Sanzang were surrounded in the circle, just like righteous warriors hunting monsters.
Tang Sanzang couldn't bear it anymore and stood up suddenly!
"If you want my cassock, I'll give it to you!"
"Disciples, prepare to fight!"
The three-meter-tall Tang Sanzang swung his cassock. Fortunately, this cassock was a magic weapon and could adapt to its size, otherwise it would have been exploded by the extremely angry Tang Sanzang's muscles!
Tang Sanzang, who dropped his cassock, suddenly became more powerful in an instant, like a madman!
Seeing this, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing couldn't help but laugh ferociously.
"Master, let's come!"
Tang Sanzang's huge body looked up to the sky and roared in front of the Buddhist hall.
"You, these evil ghosts who live in monasteries and wear cassocks, eat people and become fat, and you still claim to be compassionate?"
"Disciples, follow us as our masters and slay demons!"
