The Heavens: Thousands of Households Starting from Number One in the World

A few days later, a group of pilgrims arrived in front of a huge city. The gates of the city were wide open, and a dozen guards with swords were checking the passers-by.

"What a magnificent city! It looks like an empire!" Monkey stood on one side of the avenue and looked at the whole city.

I saw that the city was surrounded by towering city walls. The city walls were made of huge stones and bricks. They were strong and durable. The city walls stretched for more than ten miles. Above the city walls, there were watchtowers at regular intervals to guard the city. The guard observed.

There is a wide avenue in front of the city gate that leads directly into the city. On both sides of the avenue are dense trees and bustling vendors. There are endless shouts, people, and an endless stream of pedestrians, cars and horses.

It's so busy outside the city, but you can imagine how prosperous the scene is inside the city.

Monkey and others looked from a distance and saw a tall tower standing in the center of the city.

"It's actually a pagoda!" Tang Monk saw the pagoda from a distance and said excitedly.

"Master, along the way we have rarely seen a land of rites and Buddhas!" Sha Wujing looked into the distance and saw the small writings carved on the pagoda more than ten miles ahead, and said, "Huh? Master, that pagoda is actually It’s also called Jinguang Temple, which is the same name as the temple where Master became a monk in the Tang Dynasty!”

"What a fate!" Tang Monk felt nostalgic and was eagerly looking forward to this. He said excitedly: "In the past, when I went to Chang'an as my teacher, I said that on the way to the West, I would burn incense in temples, worship Buddha in temples, and sweep pagodas when I saw them. This is how I became my teacher." Give your heart to Buddha! In this temple and this pagoda, I must dedicate my heart to Buddha!"

"Pull you down!" The monkey said disdainfully: "Sweeping the tower? You are not afraid of causing tire pressure and slipping. I think we entered the royal city early and exchanged customs clearance documents with the king and left early!"

Tang Seng's face darkened when he heard this, and he carelessly touched his abdomen, his eyes full of humiliation.

Without further delay, everyone squeezed into the city under the command of the monkey and looked at both sides of the road along the way.

There are various shops on both sides of the main road, selling all kinds of goods.Exquisite silks, jewelry, gorgeous pottery, murals, and exotic imported goods such as pepper, spices and exotic treasures...

"The capital of Jisai Kingdom is so prosperous!" Ao Lie said: "Hey, that's a brothel! Marshal, they are waving to us!"

"The little brat has never seen the world!" Zhu Tianpeng said disdainfully.

"Great Sage, I always feel that they look at us a little strangely!" Zhu Tianpeng carried the child on his back and walked to the monkey and whispered.

"Maybe your transformation skills have made you too ugly and fat!" The monkey yawned and looked at the pig canopy beside him, Sha Wujing, and the black bear spirit said coldly: "Look at you three, you must change." You must be as tall as a tiger and a bear with a strong back, so it would be strange if I didn’t look at you!”

The three of them trembled when they heard this, and they slandered the monkey in their hearts. Are you not so good?He became four feet tall. Who the hell could be so short?Maybe it’s looking at you?
Pig Canopy said no more and began to tease the child on his shoulder.

As everyone was walking and looking at the shops on both sides of the street, noises and exclamations suddenly came from the front.

What an injustice!Snapped!
The Buddha treasure was not stolen by us!Snapped!
Abbot, save us!Snapped!
Stop hitting me, it hurts so much!Snapped!
There were shrill screams, the sound of flesh-piercing whipping, and the crisp sound of densely packed shackles hitting the ground.

The pilgrims saw a group of monks wearing monk robes and covered with bloodstains walking out from the corner of the street in front of them. There were chains under each person's feet. There were probably hundreds of them, and their faces were miserable and as pale as paper.

They screamed that they were wronged, and whenever they shouted, the soldiers beside them would hit them with long whips.

Seeing this, the monkey raised his eyebrows and looked at Tang Xuanzang beside him, and saw that his eyes were moist and full of tears.

"Why is this happening! Why is this happening!" Tang Monk stopped where he was and said sadly. Seeing the long whip hitting the monks' bodies, as if the pain was in his own body, he walked towards them and quickened his pace.

"Stop! Stop fighting!" Tang Monk shouted, running through the crowd and running to the soldiers.

"You meddle in your own business!" The monkey cursed secretly. Although he cursed, he remembered what Zhu Tianpeng said and what he saw. The monkey suddenly woke up. Could it be that those people had weird eyes because some of them were dressed as monks?Isn't it a difference in appearance?
"Where does the boldness come from! How dare you prevent me from escorting the guilty monk!" The strong general led by Tang Monk immediately scolded him when he saw Tang Monk running to the front to stop him. However, he suddenly saw Tang Monk wearing cassocks and Buddhist beads hanging from his wrists, and his expression froze.

"May I ask, General, what they committed and why they were beaten like this!" Tang Seng said. "Which temple are you a monk from?" the strong general asked with a ferocious look on his face.

Tang Monk was shocked by his cruelty, his face turned pale, and he said nervously: "This poor monk is from Jinguang Temple!"

Jinguang Temple?
All the soldiers were stunned, and the crying monks also looked at Tang Seng.

This scene made Tang Monk at a loss, and he hesitated and said: "Amitabha! General, what are you doing..."

"Catch him! There is still a fish that has slipped through the net. If His Majesty finds out, wouldn't he lose his head?" The strong general drew out his sword and shouted.

"Yes!" The two soldiers quickly walked to Tang Seng's side. One of them locked Tang Seng's shoulders with one hand, and violently pressed him to the ground. Tang Seng took a mouthful of dust, but his face was confused, and he didn't react. Then he hurriedly said: "Sir, why is this! Why do you want to arrest this poor monk!"

The whip suddenly hit Tang Seng's face. Tang Seng was completely stunned. Then he howled and screamed with the burning pain on his face.

Monkey was standing in the crowd in the distance. When he saw this scene, he immediately wiped his face with a hand, his face speechless.

"Ah! Master has been caught! What to do?" Sha Wujing asked in shock. "Master was beaten, what should I do?" Zhu Tianpeng said weakly.

"What can we do? They are mortals. Shouldn't we kill mortals regardless of whether they are right or wrong?" said the monkey, rolling his eyes.

"That's true!" Ao Lie said, "I didn't expect the Great Sage to have such a compassionate heart!"

The monkey glanced at Ao Lie, and then said: "This talkative guy is just looking for trouble. Xia Jier is messing around! Come on, let's go ask the whole story!"

After saying that, the extremely oppressive people walked towards the soldiers escorting the monks, turned around and stopped in front of the soldiers and the strong general.

The burly general raised his eyebrows upon seeing this, with a ferocious look in his eyes. However, when he saw the tall body of the black bear spirit and Zhu Tianpeng, his eyes suddenly froze and his mouth opened slightly.

A golden cudgel appeared in the monkey's hand, he took out his ear holes and asked expressionlessly: "Excuse me, what's wrong with these monks? Please tell me something!" After saying that, he punched the ground with the golden cudgel, and suddenly everything was around him. There was a shock of tens of feet, and the ground cracked and cracked.

Immediately, the people from all over the world trembled when they saw this. The strong general in front of the monkey looked pale and looked at the precious iron in the monkey's hand.

"Great Sage, save me first!" Tang Monk shouted as he was thrown into the crowd of monks.

The monkey ignored this.

Facing the monkey's dead fish eyes, the general shuddered and felt a sense of oppression coming from the void. He said with a frightened face: "Masters... we are just doing things impartially..."

"Do things justly?" Monkey frowned when he heard this and said, "Did these monks really commit crimes?"

"The monks of Jinguang Temple were on guard and stole our country's most valuable national treasure!" The general said quickly: "My Majesty made our Majesty dream about the gods and blamed him! That's why the monks of Jinguang Temple were handcuffed!"

"national treasure?"

What an injustice!We didn't steal any treasure!Please master, please find out the truth!Save me, I'll wait!

Groups of monks burst into tears when they saw the monkey's power. They all looked at the monkey with sad faces and prayed. (End of chapter)
