You, a monster, still want to travel to the West?

At this point, Xia Zhiming asked again: "So, Qingxin, how did you come up with this?"

Qingxin's eyes flickered for a moment, and she said unhappily, "Because, when I was on your shoulder, you never responded."

"Is that why?"

"Um……"

"Then Qingxin, I suggest you don't lean your face over here so suddenly."

"You don't like it?"

"To be honest, if a head bigger than you suddenly approaches you, it's... a little scary."

"Hmph~!"

Chapter 140 Rhino Demon: We never take advantage of others.

Jinping Mansion——

One afternoon, when Qing Xin and Xia Zhiming were sitting in the teahouse again, before the storyteller came on stage, they heard the idle people sitting around talking about...

"I heard that a new official came to Jinping Prefecture today."

"You're not very well-informed. My second aunt's eighth aunt's distant nephew works in the government office. He said that an imperial envoy is coming today with a sword and 100,000 cavalrymen."

"You scoundrel Sun are such a boaster! If Tianzhu had a hundred thousand cavalry, we would no longer be called Tianzhu, but the Celestial Empire."

"That's ten thousand cavalrymen."

"If I, India, had ten thousand cavalry, all the surrounding countries would have submitted to me."

"Where did you get this nitpicking thing from?"

"It's all just bullshit, you bastard!"

"Hahaha……"

At the table, Qingxin listened to everyone's discussion, picked up an almond from the table and chewed it, while Xia Zhiming on the girl's shoulder yawned.

At this moment, a middle-aged gentleman in white clothes, holding a folding fan, walked onto the stage. Hearing the crowd's discussion, he unfurled his fan with a snap and said with a loud laugh, "I have some stories about the imperial envoy who came to Jinping Prefecture. I don't know where they came from. Would you like to hear them?"

"Hurry up and tell me, don't keep me in suspense!"

"Don't worry, don't worry. This all has to start from a dream that King Guangrui had several months ago."

One man got impatient and cursed, "Why don't you start with the founding of India?"

The storyteller raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said jokingly, "If you like, I can also start from that time."

In the audience, the talkative man quickly waved his hands and said, "Stop, stop, stop! Go ahead and talk. I won't interrupt you."

The storyteller nodded, fanned himself, and said with a smile, "A month ago, the emperor went into the underworld at night. Why do you think that happened?"

The storyteller answered his own question: "It's because an immortal from heaven found the Lord of the Netherworld and filed a complaint against the emperor for failing to investigate. He was accusing the officials of deceiving their superiors and concealing the truth from their subordinates, and he was also accusing them of the Mintian County incident."

"That day, after the emperor returned to life, he flew into a rage and executed all the civil servants from Qingshan County in the court in one day, only killing the wrong ones and not letting them go."

"The next day, he sent an imperial envoy, bestowed with the Imperial Sword, and led 3,000 cavalrymen all the way east."

"After arriving in Qingshan County, the imperial envoy confiscated all the property of officials and executed all nine clans of the aristocratic families along the way. It was a bloody journey until today when he finally arrived in Jinping Prefecture."

"I don't know what the final outcome of Mintian County will be after this incident."

At this point, the storyteller smiled and said, "What do you think?"

In the audience, everyone applauded and cheered: "Good kill! Very good!"

"The Mintian County incident has finally caught the emperor's attention."

"Who knows how they kept it a secret for so many years?"

"I know about this, Jinping Palace."

"Shh! You're killing me!"

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded outside the teahouse. When everyone looked outside, they saw an imperial envoy wearing a black gauze hat, a red robe, and a royal sword at his waist riding in front.

Behind the imperial envoy, one cavalryman after another wearing armor and carrying guns slowly followed him.

In the teahouse, everyone was horrified and fell silent. After the army had left, everyone started arguing and soon it became a mess.

"My Tianzhu actually has cavalry!"

"I didn't expect that this storyteller wasn't lying, and there really was an imperial envoy leading troops!"

"..."

In the corner of the teahouse, Xia Zhiming stretched out his tail and touched the girl's cheek, saying with a smile: "Qingxin, do you think I'm right? King Guangrui won't be able to tolerate this for a single day."

Qing Xin asked doubtfully, "King Guangrui can't possibly kill all those people, right?"

"Why not?"

"Who will take care of things if we kill them all..."

Xia Zhiming spat out his snake tongue and said with a smile: "There's a saying: If you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will do it. Just move the big ones and not the small ones. The arrogance is still there, just change the people in charge."

Qingxin nodded, not wanting to bother with the matter that had already been settled.

In the following days, Xia Zhiming and Qingxin experienced what it meant when the emperor was angry that millions of people would die.

Every day when I go out for tea, I always hear about the glorious deeds of some imperial envoys, such as -

The entire family of Prince Jinping was killed early on.

Jinpingfu City God Temple was destroyed early

The prefect and county magistrate there had their property confiscated and were beheaded.

The nine clans of the aristocratic family entrenched there were executed.

How many people were beheaded in the vegetable market there?

……

Time flies, and half a year has passed in a blink of an eye. It is the first month of the year, the New Year is approaching, and the new year has arrived with the sound of fireworks and firecrackers.

As Xia Zhiming said - there is no one in this world who cannot do without him.

The imperial envoy killed people cleanly and efficiently. He killed one group and promoted another, and then transferred another group. Life in Qingshan County went on as usual.

If we talk about the impact of this practice, it is nothing more than changing a person to step on the heads of the people.

The people lived their lives as usual, and Xia Zhiming and Qingxin naturally had fun in the world. Before they knew it, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

That night--

The curfew will naturally be lifted during the Lantern Festival. Qing Xin and Xia Zhiming walked on the street, and they saw—

The lights in the three markets and six streets are bright, and the moon rises in the sky like a mirror.

Thousands of houses with lights and towers, a world of clouds and mist for dozens of miles.

You can’t see all the iron-locked star bridges, and you can’t see all the lanterns and trees.

Flutes and drums were hung all over the city, and singing and dancing continued all night long.

Summary: There is peace in the world.

Qingxin took Xia Zhiming through many streets, passing by countless people, and all the way to the Golden Lantern Bridge, where they saw three golden lanterns.

The lamp was as big as a jar, and was covered with an exquisite two-story pavilion, woven with gold threads and lined with colored glaze. Its light was like the moon, and its oil emitted a fragrant aroma.

As soon as he approached, Xia Zhiming stuck out his tongue and tried to smell the scent. At first, he smelled the warm and mellow sandalwood, then the fresh and elegant fragrance of flowers and plants, and the aftertaste was slightly spicy, which made it more ancient and elegant, clear and fragrant.

Noticing his movements, Qingxin's nostrils twitched. After confirming that it was the frankincense oil, she sat on the bridge, picked up the Qingxin glass cup, took a sip, and waited quietly.

Not long after, before the full moon was in the sky and before three o'clock in the morning, there was a sudden sound of wind in the air. The people watching the lights on the Golden Lantern Bridge also noticed this and quickly scattered, leaving only the man and the snake on the bridge.

Soon, as the sound of the wind got closer, the man and the snake looked up and saw three Buddha figures covered in golden light, which looked familiar yet a little unusual.

One is the old and frail Buddha - Dipamkara.

One is the one with a fleshy bun on the head - Tathagata Buddha.

One is bare-chested - Maitreya Buddha.

Summary: Audacious!

After a quick glance, Xia Zhiming and Qing Xin were about to speak when they saw the three rhinoceros spirits dim the lights and fetch utensils. One of them filled a jar of fragrant oil as if no one was around. Then they looked at the man and the snake by the bridge and discussed -

The King of Summer: "Why are you offering a baby girl this year?"

King Bi Han said: "Whatever, since it's delivered to my door, I'll take it home and eat it. In a few days, I'll send them a blessed snow as a return gift."

Xia Zhiming couldn't help but interrupt: "I didn't expect you guys to be so principled."

Upon hearing the compliment, King Bichen proudly said, "Of course! We never take advantage of others!"

Chapter 141 Scored twice

On the Golden Lantern Bridge, as Bi Chen finished his words, the three rhinos, a man, and a snake stared at each other in surprise, and the scene suddenly became so tense that you could hear a pin drop.

After a while, the leader, Bi Han, was the first to break the silence: "Who are you monsters? How could you know that this is our land?"

Bi Chen even pulled out a large knife from behind his buttocks and threatened: "Are you here to steal oil?"

Opposite the three monsters, Qing Xin tilted his head, thought for a moment, then took out a glass cup from his sleeve, opened the lid and took a sip of tea. Then he said, "The Tathagata Buddha sent us to beat you up."

Bishu was startled when he heard this. He turned around and looked at his eldest brother and third brother, but found that they still had the same Buddha-like appearance. He quickly transformed back to his original form, and saw them -

The colorful face is dotted with eyes, and the two horns are prominent.

Four pointed ears, and a bright and shining spiritual eye.

The patterns are like colorful paintings, and the brocade is like flying flowers.

The first one has a warm fox fur hat with flowers on his head, the fur is rising and steaming, and he holds an axe in his hand - the King of Warding Off the Cold.

The second one, with a light gauze on his body and flaming flames, his four hooves are covered with shimmering jade, and he holds a big knife in his hand - King Bishu.

The third one, Zhenxiong, roared like thunder, his fangs were sharp as silver needles, and he held a knotty vine - King Bichen.

As soon as they revealed their true forms, the three rhinoceros demons didn't respond to Qing Xin's words. Each of them held a barrel of fragrant oil and shouted in unison: "Brothers! Run! Run! Those bald donkeys are here to cause trouble!"

As he spoke, before Xia Zhiming and Qing Xin could react, they saw three rhinoceros spirits leaping up and controlling the cold wind, hot wind, and dust wind respectively, and fleeing towards the northeast.

On the Golden Lantern Bridge, Qing Xin and Xia Zhiming were watching this scene, both of them were stunned.

After a while, Qing Xin looked at the Qing Xin Liuli Cup in her hand, which had already been opened, and said happily: "Zhi Ming, I think I found the weakness of this treasure. If it runs away when it sees us, this treasure will be useless."

"It must have been an accident. They were pretending to be Buddha at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. I think these three rhinoceros demons had expected this day to come. They agreed to run away if they met them."

Qing Xin nodded after hearing this, but after thinking for a moment, she tugged at Xia Zhiming's tail and said pitifully, "Zhiming, I don't think I can beat them."

The Buddha once praised these three rhinoceros spirits for being born with astronomical abilities. They had cultivated for over 800 years and now they were intent on escaping. It was really not a situation that Qingxin could handle on her own.

Qing Xin could think of this situation, and Xia Zhiming also understood the reasoning behind it, but he did not prepare to transform into a human form. Instead, he rolled his tail and handed the folding fan to Qing Xin: "Then you will use this today."

After that, Xia Zhiming briefly explained the function of this treasure to Qingxin -

One is to summon the Samadhi Divine Wind.

The second is to summon the Six Ding Divine Fire.

The third is to hide magical powers and spells.

The first two magical powers can barely show the shadows of the Golden-Winged Roc and the Yin-Yang Qi Bottle. They are indeed very powerful, but they are of little use to Xia Zhiming.

On the other hand, the function of the seemingly useless concealment magic was tailor-made for Xia Zhiming. Simply put, it was some simple applications of the Kaitian technique, such as creating gaps. Now he could use it secretly...

Qing Xin heard this and asked in confusion: "Can this magic weapon defeat these three rhinoceros monsters?"

Xia Zhiming swung his folding fan with his tail, creating a gap before he smiled and said, "These three rhinoceros spirits have two horns. They're skilled at opening waterways, distinguishing between cold and heat, and splitting rocks. However, they don't have any magical power against the wind."

"Take this precious folding fan and remember not to fan the divine fire. Just use the Samadhi Divine Wind to blow at them. If one fan isn't enough, fan again. It won't take any effort. They won't be able to do anything to you, so just bear with it."

"understand?"

"understood!"

Qingxin nodded repeatedly, her face now full of smiles.
