Chapter 68: Guanyin: I let you stay, and you tore down the courtyard?
As all demons know, the four disciples on the journey west are all great gods who cannot be provoked.
But demons who have been beaten know that the one who really cannot be provoked among the four is Tang An, who seems to be just a mortal.
The other three great gods might disdain to make a move against you, but she, whether you are a god, Buddha, demon, or mortal, treats everyone equally and will definitely make you lose your shirt!
So, the Wujiguo Royal Temple that dared to clamor in front of her and even tried to drive her out had only one outcome.
That is, to become a pile of ruins!
The originally luxurious and imposing royal temple became a pile of veritable ruins after Tang An gave the order.
"Cough, cough, cough~"
Tang An waved away the dust in front of her, appreciating Nezha's violent art.
"Very good, in that case, we will reluctantly stay here for the night."
"Now, you have no objections, right?" Tang An looked at the shivering temple abbot beside her.
It was a stroke of luck that the temple abbot could barely save his life. He was still alive, but his brain had crashed, and unknown liquid was seeping from under his robes.
"Oh, scared to pee? With this kind of courage, how dare you be so arrogant just now?"
The temple abbot gasped, his expression smiling even uglier than crying.
If he had known in advance that Tang An was such a god of slaughter, and that there was a capable person beside her who would tear down his temple if she said so, he would never have dared to talk big like that just now.
"Go, call all your monks out; I'm staying in your temple today, and you must all live and work in these ruins just like before."
"This... the temple has collapsed, how can we live and work?"
"Hmm?"
"Fine, fine, fine, go, go." The abbot wiped his cold sweat and hurriedly left as if fleeing for his life, doing as Tang An requested.
However, none of the monks in the temple dared to get close to the four disciples, and they all wished they could sleep outside the back wall of the collapsed temple.
Night fell.
Jiuyue lay on the ruins, Tang An lay on Jiuyue, covered by its fluffy big tail, found a comfortable sleeping position, and just as she was about to sleep, she felt a bright light in front of her eyes.
"No way, I have to work overtime at this hour?"
"As expected, leaders are all skinflints, even gods and Buddhas are the same!"
Tang An complained indignantly in her heart, but on her face was a standard fake smile showing eight teeth.
"Guanyin Mahasattva, you're here? Here to inspect the work? Are you satisfied with the inspection?"
Guanyin Mahasattva looked at Tang An, then at the ruins of the royal temple, her temples throbbing, forming a big character for "anger."
"Tang! An!"
"Hey, I'm listening." Tang An immediately sat up straight, "What's wrong? Do you need me to make a phone call to my master?"
In one second, just one second, Guanyin Mahasattva's Buddha light shone everywhere, and her heart became as still as water.
"Why did you destroy the royal temple?"
Nezha originally didn't intend to speak, but hearing this, he stood up. "Guanyin Mahasattva, I destroyed it."
Guanyin Mahasattva took a deep breath, her blood pressure soaring, and she closed her eyes.
Why! Why on earth choose these living ancestors to go get the scriptures! Why!!!
One can't be provoked, two can't be provoked, and now she can't even provoke a mortal! What kind of leader is she!
Ah!!!!
"Guanyin Mahasattva?" Tang An waved her hand, "Are you okay?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva took a deep breath, "Amituofo, this poor monk is very well." The tail end of her sentence was somewhat gritted.
"This poor monk remembers letting you stay at the royal temple? Why did you push down this temple?"
Understood, it just meant that she was only asked to check in, so why did she turn the check-in place upside down.
"I came to stay, didn't I? I'm staying at the royal temple right now, aren't I? If you hadn't come just now, I would have fallen asleep."
Tang An looked innocent; how could this not be considered a different kind of check-in method?
Just tell me, am I staying at the royal temple or not?
Guanyin Mahasattva took another deep breath, no, more than one. One or two breaths were simply not enough for her to recover.
"Oh, Guanyin Mahasattva." Tang An even comforted her, "Isn't it just a royal temple? We'll just pay for the repairs from the Great Tang later."
Highlight: she said she would pay for the repairs, but as for what to repair, she didn't say.
Point two: the Great Tang would pay for it. Could the Great Tang be a kind-hearted person who would repair temples for other countries for no reason? Clearly not.
"Even if the Great Tang can afford the money to rebuild the temple, you shouldn't..."
"Bodhisattva." Tang An interrupted her and stood up from the ground. "Bodhisattva should know that besides being a scripture seeker, I am also a Great Tang princess."
"The abbot of a small Wujiguo royal temple dared to speak rudely to my Great Tang."
"To put it mildly, it's rude; to put it seriously, it's a national feud and family hatred."
"I didn't kill anyone, which is already very kind; if the Tang Emperor came in person, I'm afraid he would have leveled Wujiguo."
"And as Guanyin Bodhisattva, you shouldn't be too biased toward your own people, right?"
Guanyin was asked by her until she doubted herself. Was she biased? Was she too biased?
It was clearly them who tore down the temple first!
It was clearly her who had a bunch of twisted logic!
At the same time, at the new border of the Great Tang.
Tang Emperor Li Shimin suddenly sat up from the bed, his face ruddy, looking in good spirits.
"Your Majesty, you just fell asleep, why are you awake again?" The eunuch beside him hurriedly got up to serve.
"Change my clothes." Li Shimin got off the bed, still high-spirited and vigorous.
"Oh my, my Majesty, you aren't sleeping, what are you going to do?"
"I just had a dream." Speaking of this dream, Li Shimin couldn't stop his excitement.
"I have a premonition that my Great Tang princess is expanding the territory for my Great Tang again. As her father, how can I lose to my own princess."
"Quick, change my clothes, assemble the troops, and prepare to set off!"
The eunuch was dumbfounded. Who understands? Did the Tang Emperor appoint a Destined One as a princess, or as a vanguard officer for the journey west!
Wujiguo, on the ruins of the royal temple.
Tang An had left Guanyin Bodhisattva speechless, and she had already left.
"As expected, my fate is still bad; I just can't meet a leader who sympathizes with subordinates."
She complained to herself and lay back down beside Jiuyue, who had transformed into a nine-tailed fox.
"You all should meditate and rest too." Tang An waved to Nezha and the other two; the storm tonight could be considered over.
However... did she forget something?
At midnight, in a dream.
Tang An arrived at a misty place, and an old man who looked about sixty years old appeared in front of Tang An.
"Holy crap! Ran into a living ghost again!"
"Ne..."
Before the two words "Nezha" could be shouted, Tang An slapped her forehead. "I remember now, you are that dead Wujiguo King!"
The King was stunned, his expression instantly becoming worshipful, as if he had finally seen hope, his old tears streaming down.
"Truly worthy of being the Destined One, truly worthy of being the one who can save me!"
"Hmm? You are a ghost; if you appeared beside me directly, my three disciples wouldn't have failed to notice. So, did someone help you appear in my dream?"
"Yes, the Destined One is absolutely right."
"Tell me, who introduced you, and what's the business?"
"Ah?" The King didn't understand what Tang An was saying, "Doesn't the Destined One want to ask what I need your help with?"
"Of course I know, to resurrect you, and let you go back to guard your wife and children and continue living."
"Slap!"
The Wujiguo King knelt down right then and there, kowtowing to her. "Truly a god!"
He didn't have to say anything, but she knew everything! ===== CHAPTER 69 =====
