Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Soon, they arrived at the palace gate, where the street was crawling with crayfish. The guards at the gate were wrapped up tightly, as if afraid of being bitten by the insects.

"Who are you? What brings you here?" The guards at the gate stopped them and asked.

"Amitabha Buddha, we are monks from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East, on our way to the Western Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures. We are passing through this place, and we ask the King to exchange our official documents so that we can continue our journey westward," Tang Sanzang said to the two guards.

Upon hearing that they were eminent monks from the Tang Dynasty in the East, the two guards quickly went inside to inform the king.

"Your Majesty, there are several eminent monks from the Great Tang Dynasty at the gate. They want you to exchange their official documents; perhaps they can help us control this insect plague!" the guard said to the king.

Upon hearing that Lin Yaoxie and his companions could help their country control the insect plague, the king quickly ordered his guards to invite them in.

"I did not know you were a high-ranking monk from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East, and I apologize for any neglect you may have caused," the king said politely to Tang Sanzang and his companions.

"Amitabha, Your Majesty, there's no need for such formalities. Please help us exchange the official documents." Tang Sanzang stated directly the purpose of their visit.

"I can change the official documents, but I have a request, and I ask the high monk to grant it," the king said.

"You must have seen on your way here that the capital is plagued by insects, which seriously threatens the normal lives of the people. We have tried many methods, but we still cannot kill those insects. It's just that their reproduction rate is too fast. In recent years, they have not decreased but increased instead," the king said to them with great sorrow.

"Does Your Majesty know why these insects have come to this place?" Lin Yaoxie then asked.

0oo is asking for flowers.....

"This is a long story," the king explained. "Several years ago, my princess was married off to the Western Regions. She returned last year with some things that had a fragrance that I really liked. But it was this fragrance that attracted these giant insects."

"Does Your Majesty still have those items?" Lin Yaoxie asked again.

"No, ever since the insect infestation became a problem here, I ordered people to bury that thing at the foot of the mountain outside the city, and I haven't carried it with me since, but the insects haven't left," the king explained to them.

"Alright, Your Majesty, you should arrange for my master to rest first, and I will take care of this insect plague for you," Lin Yaoxie said to the king.

The king was more than happy that Lin Yaoxie and his companions could help him solve the insect plague. Moreover, Lin Yaoxie only asked him to prepare accommodations for Tang Sanzang, and he did so without hesitation, even preparing a superior room for Tang Sanzang.

After leading Tang Sanzang to his room, Lin Yaoxie left Guang with his fellow disciples.

Chapter 157 Delicious Crayfish

They saw their junior brothers arrive at the gate of the imperial city, catch some crayfish, and put them in a basket.

"Today I'll show you a real skill and let you taste how delicious our modern crayfish is," Lin Yaoxie said to the group.

"But senior brother, we are monks, how can we eat meat?" Sha Wujing said to Lin Yaoxie after hearing his words.

"Hey, Brother Sha '520', you're not a complete monk like your master. Back in the Flowing Sand River, you were eating and drinking well, having big fish and meat every day. Now that things have come to this, don't be so reserved." Pigsy became interested when he heard that Lin Yaoxie was going to make crayfish for them.

But when he heard Sha Wujing's objection, he immediately became unhappy.

“That’s right, Brother Sha, let’s not tell Master about this. If Master finds out, just say that Pigsy was greedy and insisted that Senior Brother do it.” Sun Wukong cleverly said to Sandy.

"If we're going to eat, we'll eat together; if we're going to get criticized, we'll get criticized together. Why should I take the blame when you eat? I won't do that." After hearing Sun Wukong say that, Pigsy's foolishness kicked in.

Everyone knew what Pigsy was like, so they didn't argue with him and took the crayfish back to the palace.

"Your Majesty, may we borrow your kitchen? We would like to prepare a vegetarian meal for our master," Lin Yaoxie said to the king.

The king had been counting on them to help his country solve the insect plague, and he would agree to whatever they asked for. It was just a matter of borrowing the kitchen to cook a meal, nothing serious, so he readily agreed.

After receiving the king's permission, the group went to the kitchen.

Lin Yaoxie prepared some scallions, ginger, and garlic, and sliced ​​them. Then he used a brush to scrub the mud off the crayfish.

He then heated oil in a wok, added scallions, ginger, and garlic, and then put the crayfish in. Soon, a dish of garlic crayfish was ready.

Lin Yaoxie hadn't eaten this in a long time, so without thinking twice, he grabbed a crayfish and started eating.

Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing had never eaten this before, but the aroma and the sight of Lin Yaoxie enjoying it so much made them itch to try it themselves.

Come.

They followed Lin Yaoxie's example and started eating crayfish as well.

As soon as Pigsy tasted the crayfish, he began to praise it to Lin Yaoxie.

"Senior Brother, this crayfish is amazing! It's so delicious! I've never eaten anything so good before. It's been so long since I've had any meat!" Pigsy said to Lin Yaoxie, his mouth full of crayfish.

To their surprise, just as they were enjoying their meal, a patrolling guard walked in. He was terrified to see Lin Yaoxie and his companions eating the large insects and quickly summoned the other guards who were patrolling with him.

"Those people are actually eating those giant insects outside the city! Those insects are poisonous. The king must have been fooled. What monk eats meat? I think they must be monsters," said the first guard to the others he had called in.

Chapter 158 Tang Sanzang is Imprisoned

“That’s right, where do monks eat meat? I think His Majesty has been deceived by them, they must be evil monks.” The others chimed in.

He then prepared to take Lin Yaoxie and the others before the king and have the king arrest them.

Their noise soon alerted the king, who then summoned Tang Sanzang and his disciples to his palace. The guards, carrying the plate of crayfish they hadn't finished eating, followed them to the court.

"Your Majesty, these are the large insects they left over." The guard turned the plate upside down in front of the king, who, upon seeing the insects, was so frightened that he fainted.

04 Just then, Tang Sanzang arrived at the scene and asked Lin Yaoxie what was going on.

Lin Yaoxie knew he couldn't escape today, so he told Tang Seng the truth, which enraged Tang Seng.

"How could you people kill living beings? Even if it's an insect, you could just kill it. Why do you have to eat it? Those insects are poisonous. What if you get sick from eating them?" Tang Sanzang said to the group with a look of exasperation.

"Master, please don't be angry. We were just thinking of trying to see if we could help them solve this insect plague, but who knew that the king would arrest us without even asking what happened?" Lin Yaoxie said angrily.

Just then, the king woke up and quickly ordered the plate of crayfish to be taken away to prevent him from fainting again.

"Who are you people that you would eat such things? I doubt you are any high monks. Since the disciple has done wrong, then the master should take responsibility." After saying this, the king ordered his men to arrest Tang Sanzang.

After capturing Tang Sanzang, they also captured Lin Yaoxie and his companions. However, Lin Yaoxie was not about to be captured and escaped in a wisp of smoke.

"Oh dear, it's all that evil Lin's fault for insisting on eating crayfish! He even got us arrested. This dungeon is so cold and gloomy, how can Master stand it?" Pigsy complained.

Road.

You idiot! Have you forgotten the longing look in your eyes when your senior brother made crayfish? If you hadn't urged him to make crayfish, we wouldn't be where we are today!

"That's a matter," Sun Wukong said, unconvinced.

But Pigsy wasn't convinced, so the two of them started arguing back and forth.

"That's enough, you two. You're both at fault today, even I am. It's all my fault for trusting you too much and thinking you wouldn't make any mistakes, which is why I let you leave alone. You can blame me all you want," Tang Sanzang said to the group.

Upon hearing Tang Sanzang's words, Pigsy and Monkey immediately shut their mouths and dared not speak again. However, neither of them was convinced of the other's superiority, and they each sat on one side of the cell, while only Sandy stayed behind Tang Sanzang.

“Master, we know we were wrong. We shouldn’t have acted on our own and caused such a disaster. Please don’t be angry, Master. Getting angry isn’t good for your health,” Sha Wujing said to Tang Sanzang.

Now, besides Lin Yaoxie, only Sha Wujing truly cares about Tang Sanzang. Zhu Bajie is heartless and extremely selfish, while Sun Wukong is too arrogant and unruly. Only Lin Yaoxie can subdue them.

Chapter 159 Lin Yaoxie's Method

Thinking about this, Sha Wujing couldn't help but worry about their future journey to the West to obtain the scriptures. The problems among his disciples were just one after another.

"Wujing, I'm a little cold. Come closer so we can warm each other up," Tang Sanzang said to Sha Wujing.

Upon hearing this, Sha Wujing immediately moved even closer to Tang Sanzang.

"Master, let's hold on a little longer. I believe our eldest brother will come to rescue us soon." Sha Wujing advised Tang Sanzang. Upon hearing Lin Yaoxie's name, Tang Sanzang immediately felt relieved.

Lin Yaoxie escaped from the sight of several guards and immediately arrived outside the city. With a single blow of his Thunder Axe, he killed all the large insects outside the city, and the insects on the entire street disappeared.

Then, he used a small cart to transport the dead insects to the palace gates and knocked on the gates.

Soon, a guard came out to open the gate, and saw a cart full of dead crayfish placed outside the city gate. Upon seeing this, the guard rushed in to report to the king.

Meanwhile, the king was having lunch when Lin Yaoxie performed a magic trick, replacing the king's entire lunch with crayfish. The king, as if possessed, ate it and even found it delicious.

By the time the king realized what he had eaten, it was too late. He had already swallowed the food and there was nothing he could do. Yet, he even found it delicious. How could this be?

"Well, Your Majesty, do you like the wonderful gift I gave you?" Lin Yaoxie suddenly appeared in front of the king and said to him.

The king was startled when Lin Yaoxie suddenly appeared in front of him and immediately knelt down.

"Young Master Lin, it was my fault for not recognizing you as truly esteemed monks. I will release your master and junior brother immediately." After saying this, the king quickly ordered his men to release Tang Sanzang and his companions.

Soon, the guards arrived at the prison. When Tang Sanzang saw the guards, he thought they were there to arrest and kill them, so he quickly hid behind his disciples.

To their surprise, the guards not only did not kill them, but also respectfully invited them out and led them to the main hall.

"High Monk Tang, it is all my fault. I have wronged you. Please forgive me, High Monk," the king said sincerely to Tang Monk.

Before Tang Sanzang could figure out what was going on, he looked at Lin Yaoxie, who was sitting to the side drinking. Seeing how relaxed Lin Yaoxie looked, he realized that Lin Yaoxie must have taken care of everything.

“Amitabha Buddha, it was my disciples’ ignorance that caused trouble for the king. I should apologize to Your Majesty,” Tang Sanzang said politely to the king.

"Oh dear, stop arguing about whose fault it is, Your Majesty. Quickly change our travel documents so we can continue our journey," Lin Yaoxie said, jumping out at this moment.

Just then, the king quickly ordered his men to bring the imperial seal and stamped it on Tang Sanzang's travel documents. However, the king seemed to have something else on his mind.

"Your Majesty, is there anything else?" Tang Sanzang noticed the king's predicament and asked him.

The king hesitated and refused to speak, and since they couldn't leave without him, they grew very impatient.

Chapter 160 Passing on Culinary Skills

Finally, the king couldn't hold back any longer and spoke to Lin Yaoxie.

"Young Master Lin, you've killed all those insects, but there are still so many of them. We don't know what to do with them. I think your dish is very good. Why don't you teach us how to get rid of these insects?" The king seemed to have mustered up his courage before saying these words to Lin Yaoxie.

"Oh, so that's what it is. No problem, no problem," Lin Yaoxie replied to the king in a nonchalant manner.

When the king saw that Lin Yaoxie had agreed to his request, he immediately ordered his chef to follow Lin Yaoxie to his kitchen, where Lin Yaoxie personally taught the chef how to cook crayfish.

Finally, the evil Lin cult gave the chef several ways to cook crayfish. The king invited them to a side hall, set up a large banquet for them, and ordered the crayfish they had just cooked to be brought out.

The king, disregarding his royal status, began to eat the crayfish as soon as he saw them.

But Lin Yaoxie and his companions were in a much worse situation. Their master, Tang Sanzang, was a monk who only ate vegetarian food, so they had to follow suit and eat vegetarian food as well. That time, they didn't eat crayfish in front of Tang Sanzang.

But now that Tang Sanzang was sitting right next to them, they dared not touch the crayfish, so they could only watch the king eat with longing.

Finally, the king finished his meal, and the banquet came to an end. Lin Yaoxie and his companions were finally free from their torment. They quickly bid farewell to the king and left the country that they hated so much.

"Hahaha, you guys are hilarious! Master Tang, your disciples have really suffered. You eat vegetarian food, and they eat vegetarian food too. Their spirit is truly admirable!" The Tang Emperor said to Tang Sanzang after hearing their story.

"Your Majesty is joking. They do eat and drink as they please sometimes, but I haven't restricted their freedom too much," Tang Sanzang quickly said, trying to smooth things over.

"Do you have any other stories? Tell us more." The Tang Emperor didn't care whether they were tired or not; he was eager to hear their stories from their journey to the West.

When Lin Yaoxie and his companions heard the Tang Emperor say this, they couldn't refuse him, so they could only continue telling their stories of their journey to the West.

Thinking of this, Lin Yaoxie fell into his memories again.

That day, after passing through the Kingdom of Women, they arrived at the border of another country. By then, they had traveled a long way, and Tang Sanzang was getting tired, so he decided to stop and rest.
