Chapter 257 Everyone has their own agenda
The king originally thought that the father-in-law would put Tang Shan and others in jail. After all, those who spoke rudely to him would suffer a terrible fate.
The father-in-law simply smiled and said, "Since you are a holy monk from the Tang Dynasty, why don't we have a competition to see who can truly cure His Majesty?"
If you can eat Tang Monk, the effect will be thousands of times better than the hearts of more than a thousand boys.
"What's wrong with you? They are so provocative."
The imperial concubine leaned close to his ear and complained, the fox fur on her body seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
Why not just execute them now to vent her hatred.
The father-in-law whispered, "This monk is very useful, so he cannot be killed now."
The king asked, "Saint monk, what do you think?"
Anyway, he was very happy to have more people treating him, and it didn't matter to him who won or lost.
Wukong looked at the two fairies above him with a meaningful look in his eyes, "Of course there's no problem."
After the court was dismissed, Tang Shan and others followed the postmaster and walked slowly towards the posthouse.
Postmaster: "Saint Monk, how sure are you about His Majesty's illness?"
He naturally hoped that Tang Shan and the others could cure the king before the father-in-law cut open the child's heart, so that more than a thousand children across the country could avoid inevitable death.
"Don't worry, sir. My master always keeps his word and will not let so many children die at the hands of goblins."
Wukong smiled, and his confident and calm attitude gave the postmaster a shot in the arm.
He murmured softly, "I hope so."
On the other side, the imperial concubine and the father-in-law were spreading evil rumors to the king.
"Your Majesty, the heart of a Tang monk is worth the hearts of a thousand children in our Bhikkhu Kingdom. Killing him can save a thousand others. As a Buddhist, he will surely not shirk his responsibility."
"This..." The king hesitated, "What if the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty investigates?"
"Oh, Your Majesty, what are you afraid of?" The imperial concubine twisted her body and rubbed against him.
"As long as we kill them all, there will be no evidence. Even though we are tens of thousands of miles away, what can they do to us?"
From a perspective that the king could not see, the eyes of the father-in-law and the imperial concubine were full of ruthlessness and cunning.
At night, Wukong was about to fly up to the sky to find the Six Dings and Six Jias, the guardians of the temple, and the duty officers to rescue all the cages containing children in the city.
Tang Shan called out to him, "Kongkong, there's no need to go through this. They definitely won't want these children's hearts tomorrow."
"Huh? Why?"
Sha Seng came in with a basin of water for washing feet, his face full of confusion.
Wukong: "Master, have you figured out how to cure the king's illness?"
Bajie slumped down in his chair, "Why don't we just take advantage of the night and kill the two monsters in the palace and put an end to it all."
"Hmm~" Tang Shan stretched out her tone, "What Bajie said makes sense."
Tang Shan put her feet into the warm footbath and said, "Then go and kill the goblin."
Bajie slid to the ground with his butt, "No, isn't this kind of thing usually done by Monkey Brother?"
He was complaining in his heart that he was such a talkative person.
"That's not right," Wukong said, jumping onto the table and squatting. "Your Majesty doesn't know the true face of the demon yet. If we kill it, the whole country will probably treat us as thieves and prosecute us."
Tang Shan: "Listen! Listen! This is the person with a brilliant brain."
Bajie...
Why didn't you just refuse when he proposed it just now? You have to say a few insults to me to make it more fun, right?
Bajie simply closed his mouth and lay down on the bed to take a nap.
While rubbing Tang Shan's feet, Sha Seng said to Bajie in disgust, "Second Brother, why did you go to bed without washing up again?"
Bajie turned over and faced Sha Seng, "Old Sha, are you in charge of the desert?" He is in charge of such a wide range of things.
Sha Monk said seriously: "I don't care about the desert, but tonight you and I will sleep in the same bed."
He didn't want to be suffocated by his second brother's body odor and die in a nightmare.
Tang Shan closed her eyes and enjoyed the massage from her apprentice. "Today, the demon must have known my identity. With my heart as Tang Monk, they don't need to eat so many children's hearts."
Tang Seng's heart is worth a thousand hearts. Every day he is either being targeted by monsters who want to eat him or monsters or humans who want to sleep with him. It is really fascinating.
"What?" Sha Seng's towel, which he used to wipe Tang Shan's feet, fell into the water. "Then Master, aren't you in danger now?"
He scanned the room cautiously, fearing that the goblin might be just outside the door.
Tang Shan said calmly: "Is there ever a day when my master is not in danger?"
Sha Seng was immediately filled with admiration. He could never learn the master's calm attitude in the face of life and death.
Even though there were so many monsters and demons along the way and the road was extremely dangerous, the master never complained about the hardship or fatigue, and never had the thought of retreating.
Although he has magical powers, he is far less calm than his master when encountering monsters.
Bajie sneered in his heart. If he and the monkey hadn't protected him along the way, how could a mortal being have walked so far?
Tang Shan: If the system hadn't asked me to protect you and go to the West to obtain the scriptures, I would have taken the money and run away long ago.
Wukong: "If that's the case, someone will definitely come tomorrow to capture Master and tear out his heart and liver."
If he attacked an ordinary mortal, one blow from him would either kill him or cripple him.
Tang Shan: "Since that's the case, why don't we take advantage of their situation and give them a poisonous heart?"
"Oh? What if the king died of poisoning?" Wukong worried.
Tang Shan curled her lips and smiled, "How could those two goblins be willing to let the king eat my heart? They must have kept it for themselves and then found something else to deal with the king."
On the other side, the imperial concubine and the father-in-law slept on the same bed.
The king fell into a deep sleep under his spell, and the two men threw him to the ground casually.
The vixen kicked the king in disgust. "How long are we going to keep doing this?"
She stayed with this lecherous old man every day, and wanted to kill him every day.
The deer spirit held her in his arms affectionately and said, "It will be soon. When he runs out of yang energy and dies, I will become the emperor and you will be the empress. The Bhikkhu Kingdom will be ours."
"The monks who came today..."
"One bite of Tang Monk's flesh will grant you immortality," the deer spirit promised the fox spirit. "Once we've both eaten Tang Monk's flesh, we can be husband and wife forever."
The vixen softly lay on his muscular chest, "So, are you still going to kill the thousand boys I asked for?"
If they were to take charge of the Bhikkhu Kingdom in the future, losing so many boys would not be a good thing in the long run.
"My silly girl, why do we need those people to make up the numbers when we already have Tang Monk?"
