Journey to the West begins with a full-level Tang monk

Chapter 1245 Monster Slaughter?
"Xuanzang, in order not to attract attention, I want to lead people around the city." Standing on a foothill, Huixin pointed to the distant city.

"From here, go south. The south is a mountainous area, relatively sparsely populated, and it is not so easy to be tracked by the monsters and witches."

Huixin said while gesturing.

Tang Seng naturally has no objection, and what Abbot Huixin said is also reasonable. Flying directly over the city will definitely attract the attention of many people, and his whereabouts will be easily exposed.

Just when he was about to agree with Huixin's opinion, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

Because the divine sense covered the big city, after some observation, he discovered some abnormalities.

The city is so big that it has a radius of hundreds of miles. Looking at the houses inside, it can be considered very prosperous.

However, the city at this time was not peaceful.

The three city gates in the east, west and south are tightly closed, but the north gate is wide open, and many people in the city are leaving the city in groups.

Moreover, all are big and small packages, including horse-drawn carts, ox carts, donkey carts and even carts.

This is the case in the city, and looking outside the northern city, on the spacious official road, there are also dense crowds heading north.

And everywhere in the city, many people are packing up their belongings and preparing to leave the city.

This phenomenon is absolutely abnormal.

"Abbot Huixin, let's not talk about the route, just take a look at the city." Tang Seng said in a deep voice.

Huixin released her divine thoughts according to her words, and observed carefully.

Soon, he looked at Tang Seng: "Xuanzang, I feel that these common people seem to be fleeing like the monks in Puji Temple!"

Tang Seng nodded slightly and said: "The poor monk also feels the same way, but all escapes are nothing more than floods, droughts, and plagues. At this time, it is a natural disaster, and then it is a man-made disaster. Generally speaking, it is a military disaster. But looking at this city, there is no big disaster. Water, drought, and there are not a large number of people in the city who are in mourning, so there is no plague, so it must be caused by man-made disasters, which made the people flee the city."

"That's right, the old monk also has the same judgment. According to Xuanzang's intention?" Hui Xin looked at Tang Seng while speaking.

Tang Seng said: "Abbot Huixin took the disciples from the temple and waited here. Xuanzang went to the city for a party, so that he could inquire about it and see what was going on before making a decision. Although Puji Temple is also in the process of taking refuge, but Being able to help those people is also a great merit!"

"Amitabha, what Xuanzang said is very true. However, Xuanzang does not need to go out in person to inquire about the news, let Xuanyi go!" Hui Xin waved her hand and said.

"That's fine, just follow the host's arrangement!"

Tang Seng knew that Huixin might not feel at ease with so many people thrown here, so he didn't insist anymore.

Xuan Yi also flew towards the city according to Abbot Huixin's instructions.

Tang Seng's spiritual thoughts still covered the surroundings, so he waited here.

It took more than half an hour for Xuan Yi to return.

In fact, it has been used for such a long time, mainly spent on the road, and the time spent in the city is not much.

Because he was afraid of attracting the attention of many people, Xuan Yi flew close to the ground at the beginning, it seemed that he was walking faster, and he really walked in when he was about to reach the city wall.

But the city gate on the east side was closed, so Xuan Yi flew up the city wall swaggeringly, and there was no one on the left and right walls.

The same goes for going out of the city, he showed that he used to walk, and only changed to fly after he was far away from the big city.

Under such a cover, if it is not someone with a heart, no one should notice.

"How is it?" Seeing Xuan Yi coming back, Hui Xin asked immediately.

Xuan Yi replied: "Abbot, Senior Brother Xuan Zang, after entering the city, the poor monk inquired several times separately, and the information they got was exactly the same. That is, there was news in the city that there were monsters coming to slaughter the city in a few days, so People would rather believe what they have than what they don’t have, so they left their homes one after another and took refuge in other places. That’s what happened!”

"Slaughtering the city? How is that possible? Even if the monsters are going to slaughter the city, this kind of news cannot be leaked out!" After hearing Xuan Yi's words, Huixin stroked her gray beard and raised her brows constantly.

At this time, Tang Seng looked at Xuan Yi: "Senior brother Xuan Yi, have you ever found out the source of the news, who was the first to spread the news?"

Xuan Yi shook his head vigorously and said: "The poor monk really asked about this, but no one can tell who told it, but few people dare to take this risk and stay in the city!"

"Abbot, have you ever heard of monsters slaughtering cities? Or monsters invading human cities?" Tang Seng continued to ask.

"I haven't heard of the massacre of the city, but some monsters harass the human city. It does happen from time to time. You must know that here, the monsters are a family, not a rare existence." Hui Xin said.

Tang Seng said: "That is to say, any time monsters harassed the human city in the past, there was no news in advance, and the human race was not prepared enough? Right?"

Xuan Yi smiled wryly at this moment and interjected: "How is that possible? If monsters want to do bad things, who would know you in advance? They can't even tell!"

Tang Seng patted his thigh: "That's right, monsters can't tell, but how do people know? Moreover, even if monsters want to do harm, it may not be planned, maybe it's just a matter of whim. According to the poor monk Ah, there is definitely something strange about this."

Huixin nodded in agreement and said, "Xuanzang's words are very reasonable, but where is the problem? What's the purpose of those spreading rumors? Could it be that some people want to deceive the people away so that they can occupy their property and houses? "

Tang Seng resolutely denied Huixin's conjecture. He mused: "Everything of value is taken away by the common people. What can we gain by occupying other people's property? Some even take away the tables, chairs and benches, not to mention the rice noodles and oil." What’s the point of occupying a house, if the deed is not in hand, the owner will obediently give it up when he comes back, and he may even face a lawsuit for occupying other people’s house.”

"Don't think about property matters. Those who spread rumors just want to trick the people out of the city. If it's a robbery, it's more reliable than being in the city."

Speaking of this, Tang Seng raised his head suddenly: "Rooting outside the city!"

"Robbery outside the city!"

This sentence was said by Hui Xin, almost at the same time as Tang Seng shouted out.

"That's right, this should be reliable. You should know that most people's money is hidden at home, either buried in the ground or hidden in the wall, or there is a basement or something like that. In short, it is well hidden. It’s not easy to find even if you ask for it. But it’s different when you take your belongings out of the city. You will definitely bring all the most valuable things on your body and load them in the car. Basically, you can return home with a full load." Tang Seng continued to analyze.

"Xuanzang, what you said is quite right, it's basically like this, it should be right." Huixin clapped her hands and said.
