Martial Arts Crossover: Infiltrating a Girls' Chat Group at the Start

He immediately took out a gold ingot, weighing a full ten taels, and made a bet with Yuan Shoucheng on the timing and amount of rainfall the next day.

Yuan Shoucheng pinpointed the rainfall time to the minute and the rainfall amount to the millimeter.

The Dragon King of the Jing River said, "If what you say is true, I will offer you the remaining forty taels of gold after tomorrow. Otherwise, I will smash your stall, and you will never be allowed to tell fortunes again."

Yuan Shoucheng made this bet.

Upstairs, Wang Yuyan, who had seen everything, said to Lin Zhu, "Why do I feel like this Dragon King is pretty annoying?"

"All the dragons I've seen are like that, thinking that heaven is the most important thing and earth is the second most important thing."

Lin Zhu originally intended to say that all dragons are like this, but remembering that the Azure Dragon was still within the realm, he quickly changed his words.

Wang Yuyan asked, "Do you think the Jinghe Dragon King will change the amount of rainfall then?"

"Definitely! Most dragons are willing to suffer for the sake of saving face most of the time."

Lin Zhu's answer was verified the next day.

The Dragon King of the Jing River arrived as promised, and Lin Zhu and Wang Yuyan watched the play as usual.

Yuan Shoucheng looked at the Jinghe Dragon King, sighed, and said, "You can smash this mess I'm making."

The Dragon King of the Jing River was not polite at all and immediately smashed Yuan Shoucheng's stall, saying, "Your divination is inaccurate. Don't do it for anyone else again."

Yuan Shoucheng shook his head and said, "You changed the rainfall amount, and the Heavenly Court will probably punish you."

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King of the Jing River froze in his act of smashing the stall, mechanically turning his head. "You, how did you know?"

“Dragon King, you’re so foolish! Don’t you know that once the Jade Emperor has issued a decree, it cannot be disobeyed?” Yuan Shoucheng sighed.

At this moment, the Jinghe Dragon King felt a refreshing and exhilarating sensation.

A chill ran through him. He took two steps back, his finger trembling as he pointed at Yuan Shoucheng. "You, who exactly are you?"

Yuan Shoucheng said, "Is my identity more important, or is your life, Dragon King? Even now, Dragon King, are you still so stubborn?"

The Jinghe Dragon King was also a man of flexibility. Although he did not know Yuan Shoucheng's exact identity, he knew that Yuan was definitely not simple. Otherwise, how could he know the Jade Emperor's decree?

He immediately used his miraculous technique, the Golden Knee.

Chapter 932 Who exactly is Muzha's disciple?

"Please, sir, save Xiaolong."

The more arrogant the Jinghe Dragon King was before, the more afraid he is now.

Yuan Shoucheng shook his head and said, "Now that the Heavenly Court knows that you have altered the rainfall without authorization, I can't save you. However, there is one person who can save you."

"Who is it? Please teach me, sir." The Dragon King of the Jing River seemed to have grasped at a straw.

"The person who can save you is right here in Chang'an, the ruler of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin."

Yuan Shoucheng followed the original script. As for whether the Jinghe Dragon King would survive, that was up to fate.

The Dragon King of the Jing River asked in bewilderment, "King Tang is merely a mortal, how could he possibly save the little dragon?"

Yuan Shoucheng explained, "The Heavenly Court official who is overseeing your execution is a subject of the current Tang King. You can have the Tang King stall him until noon tomorrow."

The Dragon King of the Jing River immediately understood, and then asked with difficulty, "But if the little dragon can't enter the palace, how can he see the Tang Emperor?"

Yuan Shoucheng said, "That's not difficult." As he spoke, a golden light entered the Jinghe Dragon King's forehead. "At midnight tonight, your primordial spirit will leave your body and appear in the Tang King's dream."

The Dragon King of the Jing River sensed the rich human aura within the golden light and became very curious about Yuan Shoucheng's identity, but ultimately dared not ask.

"Thank you, sir."

Yuan Shoucheng waved his hand and said, "Go."

The Dragon King of the Jing River transformed into a golden ray of light and vanished into the waters of Chang'an City.

Yuan Shoucheng looked up at Lin Zhu and Wang Yuyan, nodded, and then packed up and left.

Lin Zhu said to Wang Yuyan, "The show is over, let's go."

The two held hands and disappeared from the restaurant as if they had teleported, leaving behind three silver coins on the table. They were round with square holes, and were worth about three qian of silver, equivalent to three hundred copper coins.

The next day, at the request of the Dragon King of the Jing River, Li Shimin invited Wei Zheng to the palace to play chess.

At noon, Wei Zheng dozed off and dreamt of slaying a dragon.

The Dragon King of the Jing River was decapitated.

That night, Li Shimin had a nightmare in which the Jinghe Dragon King came to claim his life.

Li Shimin was also a practitioner of military strategy, but his primordial spirit was weak, so he naturally couldn't withstand such fright.

So, the next day he went to settle accounts with Wei Zheng.

"You, Wei Zheng, how dare you mock me?"

Wei Zheng, feigning ignorance, asked, "What makes you say that, Your Majesty?"

Li Shimin snorted coldly, "Yesterday I invited you to play chess, but you slew the Jing River Dragon King in your dream, didn't you?"

Wei Zheng said confidently, "That's right, I don't know what I've done wrong?" He looked at Li Shimin, turned on his verbal attack mode, and began to explain his reasoning to Li Shimin point by point.

Li Shimin was forced to retreat continuously, and faced with Wei Zheng in such a complete form, he had no power to resist.

"Fine, fine, you're very good." Unable to win the argument, he waved his hand and angrily walked back to the inner palace. He came to Empress Zhangsun and berated Wei Zheng from behind.

Wei Zheng, who had just left the palace, seemed completely unconcerned. He went to a stall on Zhuque Street and started eating spinach with his own money.

I don't know what kind of quirk it is, but I'm addicted to eating spinach and I'm not afraid of kidney stones.

In the inner palace, Empress Zhangsun listened patiently to Li Shimin's venting, and then said, "Wei Zheng's words are not without reason."

"Of course I know," Li Shimin sighed. "But the Jing River Dragon King has come to me for help, and I couldn't save him. What if he comes to claim my life again tonight?"

Empress Zhangsun smiled and said, "Why doesn't Your Majesty go and find your second brother-in-law?"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up. "How come I didn't think of that?" Overjoyed, he grabbed Empress Zhangsun's waist, picked her up, spun her around twice, and then put her down. "Guanyinbi, you come with me. We can go see Lizhi."

The two set off immediately, with a carriage followed by a procession, and arrived at the manor where Lin Zhu lived.

After meeting Lin Zhu, Li Shimin explained the situation to her and asked, "Brother-in-law, what should I do now?"

"That's simple. When you go to sleep at night, have Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jingde keep watch, and the Jing River Dragon King won't dare to come. Then, go to Jinshan Temple and invite a few monks to perform a ritual to send the Jing River Dragon King to the afterlife."

Lin Zhu was too lazy to think of other solutions; since there was one readily available, she would just use it.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up upon hearing this, "Thank you for clearing up my doubts, brother-in-law."

There was still more than an hour before dinner, and he didn't leave after getting the solution.

He chatted with Lin Zhu in a casual manner.

Lin Zhu knew what he meant; he just wanted to stay for dinner.

It's just that Wang Yuyan brought out a lot of spiritual food from Nuwa's Palace, otherwise there really wouldn't be anything to eat right now.

"Brother-in-law, you said that even Wei Zheng was a reincarnation of a celestial official, so am I also someone's reincarnation?"

Lin Zhu shook his head, giving him a negative answer, "No, you just have the destiny of the Ziwei Star."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief; he truly did not want to be the reincarnation of anyone.

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, brother-in-law."

After dinner, Li Shimin returned to the palace with Empress Zhangsun.

That night, he asked Qin Shubao and Yuchi Gong to keep watch, and sure enough, the Jing River Dragon King did not come to bother him.

After that, he sent someone to Jinshan Temple to invite Xuanzang to perform the Dharma assembly. The event was quite large, so it was also called the Water and Land Assembly.

The location is right at Xuanwu Gate.

Not only did they perform rituals to release the vengeful spirit of the Jinghe Dragon King, but they also helped release the vengeful spirits of Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, and the others.

Lin Zhu knew that Guanyin would appear after the Water and Land Assembly, so he also appeared here with Wang Yuyan, Yaoyue, and Xiaoxue.

Yaoyue asked, "Are you really going to the Western Paradise?"

Lin Zhu said, "It's more convenient to follow Tang Xuanzang on the mission given by the Empress."

"Can't we go together? It looks like so much fun." Jingwei also wanted to join in the fun.

Lin Zhu smiled and said, "No, if you don't want to stay in Chang'an anymore, you can go back to your respective homes." Then, his gaze swept across the crowd.

I saw two monks, one old and one young.

Under the watchful eye of time and space, their true nature is revealed.

Guanyin and her disciple Muzha.

Muzha was originally a disciple of Samantabhadra, but later Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Cihang were reincarnated one after another, around the same time as Duobao.

It is also about the breaking and continuation of fate.

Muzha first found Miaoshan and became her protector. Over time, he became Guanyin's disciple.

On the other hand, Jinzha also became Tathagata's protector.

As a being in the Primordial Chaos Realm, Guanyin immediately sensed the spying and looked towards Lin Zhu.

Their eyes met.

Guanyin smiled and nodded. After Tang Xuanzang finished his sermon, he shouted loudly, "Selling cassocks and staffs! Selling cassocks and staffs!"

Upon hearing Guanyin's call to sell, Muzha immediately opened his bundle. The brocade cassock shone brightly in the sunlight, its brilliance dazzling and magnificent.

Such a sight naturally attracted the attention of everyone present, including Li Shimin, who sat high on the throne.

Chapter 933 I, Old Cheng, am incredibly clever.

Li Shimin invited the old monk (Guanyin) upstairs. He was just about to reward Xuanzang, and this brocade cassock was very suitable.

"How much are these robe and staff worth?"

The old monk kept everyone in suspense, saying, "Those without affinity are worth a thousand pieces of gold, but if there is someone of high virtue and great kindness, I will not take a single penny."

"That's quite interesting," Li Shimin said. "I'd like to buy this robe and present it to the eminent monk Xuanzang. I wonder if he's the one destined to receive it?"

The old monk said, "Let me ask him." He then looked at Xuanzang and said, "Amitabha, I have heard eminent monks preach before, but it was only Hinayana Buddhism. Do you know Mahayana Buddhism?"
