I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

"If you lie, you will be struck by lightning..."

"You really haven't hurt anyone? Including before?" Gu Ming asked with eloquence.

"Really do not have!"

"We just used knives to scare people, we really didn't hurt anyone..."

Gu Ming thought for a while, and said: "Since that's the case, one person will abolish one hand and leave the belongings outside the Kou Yuan, get out!"

"Forgive me..."

The four robbers still wanted to beg for mercy, but each of them screamed again.

Because, Gu Ming used dark energy to disable the meridian of their right hand, and from then on, this arm will be considered completely disabled.

Unless there are gods who are willing to help them pick up...

The four robbers finally slipped away like bereaved dogs. Tang Seng sighed, then glanced at the package on the ground and said, "Master Kou has a kind heart. We didn't go too far. It's better to return the property."

"Alright, it's not in vain for him to entertain us." Monkey King agreed.

Gu Ming didn't speak.

Because he knew in his heart that this was a difficulty for Tang Seng, and there was no need to stop it.

Even if it is stopped, it is useless, because their master and apprentice have to make up ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties.Otherwise, other things will happen at that time.

Just after dawn, the group of people turned back and headed towards Koujiazhuang.

Unexpectedly, when they walked halfway, they were surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers...

The leader of the team stepped forward and asked, "Are you a monk from the East?"

"Amitabha, poor monk Xuanzang..."

"Okay, you evil monk who kills people and sells goods, come and arrest them!"

The team leader waved his hands immediately.

"Wait a minute, why do you arrest people?" Sun Wukong asked angrily.

"You guys don't know what you're doing? Yuanwai Kou kindly entertained you. It's fine if you're not grateful. You pretended to leave, but in the end you sneaked into Kou's house at night, killed Yuanwai Kou, and robbed the treasure..."

"What? Master Kou is dead?" Tang Seng was taken aback.

"What are you packing? Come here, open the package and have a look."

"Yes!"

Several officers and soldiers stepped forward to take the package on the horse's back and opened it... it was full of gold, silver and jewels.

"Hehe, how do you explain these?"

"This... this is indeed Kou Yuan's family, but..." Tang Seng was sweating and wanted to explain.

"Don't quibble, now everyone has stolen goods, take them all back."

Sun Wukong wanted to resist, but Tang Seng said urgently: "Wukong, don't mess around, right and wrong are black and white, there is always a time to investigate clearly."

Therefore, Tang Seng and his disciples were taken back to the government for trial.

As for Gu Ming...he has been invisible for a long time, and all the officers and soldiers didn't find him at all.

Let's say that after Tang Monk and his disciples were brought to the Yamen, Kou Yuanwai's wife and two sons rushed over after hearing the news.

After identification, those gold, silver and jewels belonged to them.

This time, the crimes committed by the master and apprentice were confirmed.

Tang Seng cried out loudly, saying that it was stolen by four robbers. They were just out of kindness and wanted to return the property.

Unfortunately, no one believed it at all.

"You give back my husband, give back my husband..."

Mrs. Kou rushed to Tang Seng crying, scratching, biting and beating him.

Tang Seng had no choice but to grit his teeth and hold on.

Fortunately, he is not the Tang Seng he used to be, so he can bear such a little suffering completely.

After so long, he believed Gu Ming. Since Gu Ming was sure that the four robbers did not kill anyone, how did Kou Yuanwai die?

So, when Mrs. Kou was tired from the beating, she couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, how did Benefactor Kou die? Did he die from a knife wound?"

"Hey? You still have the face to ask? That's right, Kou Yuanwai has no injuries, but what does this mean?

He is indeed out of breath, this only shows that you are clever, you didn't use any murder weapon, but cast a demon or something to put him to death. "

Mrs. Kou burst into tears and said, "What did my master do wrong? In the past few years, he has insisted on his beliefs, insisted on doing good deeds, and said that he must fast thousands of monks to fulfill his wish.

The people in Zhuangzi didn't understand him, they laughed at him, saying that he was trying to gain fame...

This time, after the master died, some people even made sarcastic remarks, saying that his kindness was not rewarded.

Tell me, how do I feel good when I hear this?How do you feel? "

"Amitabha, madam, please mourn..." Tang Seng couldn't help but sighed.

"It's all you, you killed my husband and paid for my husband's life..."

But Tang Seng didn't do this, how could he plead guilty?

Seeing that Tang Seng pleaded not guilty, the officials who tried the case were furious and ordered severe punishment.

Sun Wukong was afraid that his master would not be able to take it anymore, so he immediately said: "Don't torture my master, I killed the man, if you want to interrogate, then interrogate my old grandson."

"Wukong, you...how can you..."

"Master..." Sun Wukong blinked at his master, signaling him to feel relieved.

The master and apprentice have been together for so many years, and they have a tacit understanding.

Tang Seng understood that Sun Wukong must have his reasons for doing so, and there must be a way to get rid of the crime.

After all, such a stalemate is also troublesome, it is better to plead guilty first, and then try to clear up your innocence.

As soon as someone pleaded guilty, the adjudicating officer was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Sun Wukong to be tortured...

"Crack, crack, crack..."

The stick hit Monkey King, probably not even tickling.

Monkey King said with a playful smile: "Put harder, harder, Lao Sun can't feel it... have you eaten?"

After being so excited, the person in charge of the battle couldn't help being furious, and fought down with all his strength.

In the end, the board was discounted, and the hand hurt, and Monkey King was still fine...

Seeing this, the presiding judge was also dumbfounded, and simply ordered him to be locked up first.

When it was dark, Gu Ming appeared in the prison.

"Shangxian, what should we do now?"

Monkey King immediately stepped forward and asked.

"I went to check, Kou Yuanwai is not really dead..."

"Oh? Fake death?" Sun Wukong's eyes lit up.

"It's not a fake death, but a perfect meritorious deed to go to heaven."

"So it's like this... It's true that good people are rewarded with good rewards. But what should we do about this matter? Tell others, and they may not believe it."

"This requires you, the Great Sage, to make a trip..."

So, Sun Wukong immediately turned into a clone and stayed in the prison, and the real body turned into a ray of breeze and flew towards Kou's village.

After eavesdropping in the village for a while, it turned out that some people were gloating, and privately commented that Kou Yuanwai was just trying to save face, but in the end it was not rewarding.

So, Monkey King ran to find Kou Yuanwai's "corpse" and inspected it carefully, and found that it was indeed just a body, and the soul had already left the body.

So, he flew to the heaven again and found Kou Yuanwai who had completed his meritorious deeds. When he told the situation, Kou Yuanwai couldn't help but be surprised.

After asking for instructions, Kou Yuanwai went down to the realm with Monkey King and temporarily borrowed his former body to "resurrect".

"It's not good, Master... Master is alive..."

The servant in charge of guarding the spirit stumbled out in fright...

"what?"

"Master... is alive?"

"Elder panicked, and listen to me..."

Kou Yuanwai walked out of the room and told the truth, which made everyone dumbfounded.

Afterwards, Kou Yuanwai came to the government again to explain the situation, saying that Monk Tang and his party were wronged, that he did not die, but that his meritorious deeds were consummated and went to heaven.

The people in the government didn't believe it at first, so Kou Yuanwai left his body on the spot, and slowly lifted off into the sky with a holy light...

Now, it's just convincing.

After the news spread, the people couldn't help but feel ashamed...

Tang Seng's master and apprentice were naturally released without charge, and the presiding officer smiled and apologized again and again...

Of course, Tang Seng will not pursue it.

After all, it is the responsibility of the government to handle the case, as long as it is clearly stated...

Chapter 74 Journey to the West finally ends

Next, Tang Seng and his disciples continued to move forward.

Within a few days, I finally arrived at the destination of this trip to the West: Lingshan.

However, to get to Daleiyin Temple, one more test is required: Lingyun Ferry.

Here, Tang Seng will leave behind his mortal body to achieve real transformation...

But what happened after that has nothing to do with Gu Ming.

After Tang Monk and his disciples left Koujiazhuang, Gu Ming bid farewell and left. He first stayed in Tianzhu King's City for more than a month, teaching Confucianism and related cultivation methods with a group of disciples.

Afterwards, go in the opposite direction along the route of Tang Monk, master and apprentice to learn Buddhist scriptures from the west.

Passing through the Bhikkhu Kingdom, Zhuzi Kingdom, Jisai Kingdom, Xiliang Daughter Kingdom, Chechi Kingdom... and other small countries, continue to spread and consolidate Confucianism.

Even if the seeds have been planted, they must be watered, right?

This journey took nearly two years and finally returned to Chang'an.

At this time, Tang Seng and his disciples had already completed the great cause of learning Buddhist scriptures, and they were awarded titles:

Tang Seng was named Zhan Tan Gongde Buddha.

Sun Wukong was named Fighting and Conquering Buddha.

Zhu Bajie was named the envoy of the altar.

The Drifting Monk was named the Golden Arhat.

Xiaobailong was conferred the title of Guangli Bodhisattva of Eight Heavenly Dragons.

All in all, although the master and apprentice have experienced many hardships, they have gained a lot.

Not to mention Tang Seng, he himself is a disciple of the Tathagata.

Zhu Bajie and Sand Monk were originally generals in the heavenly court, majestic and upright gods in the upper world, but they were demoted to the mortal world due to mistakes and turned into demons.

Now, he has finally attained the fruit of his cultivation again and returned to the rank of righteous gods, but his camp has changed, from a member of the Heavenly Court to a member of the Western Heaven Buddhist Realm.

As for Sun Wukong... Before that, although he had the title of Monkey King, everyone knew that it was just the Jade Emperor who fooled him.

It's just a false name, as long as you are coaxed and you don't make trouble.

Therefore, in the eyes of the gods in the sky and the monsters in the underground, Monkey King has no status after all.

Because of this, many people still call him the monster monkey and classify him as the monster king during the journey of learning the scriptures.

But it's different now, now he is a serious Buddha!

In the Buddhist world of Western Heaven, Buddha means the existence of the first-tier team, and it is also the goal pursued by countless monks all over the world.
