City: The Dragon King Returning from Journey to the West

Chapter 102 Tang Seng Is No Longer Alone
The leopard spirit and the wild duck spirit lifted Tang Seng up, and the mouse spirit and the cypress spirit supported the two attendants, shouting all the way up the mountain.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me..." Tang Seng trembled and begged for mercy.

The faces of the two attendants were also pale, and their whole bodies were weak.

Soon, they reached the top of the mountain, and saw a group of strangely shaped monster houses sitting around the open space, with expressions on their faces as if they had found fat fresh meat.

Sitting on the top are three tall demon kings with big eyes like copper bells. They call themselves Xiong Shanjun, Te Chushi, and General Yin, and they are also called Xiong Da, Niu Er, and Fat Tiger.

"Don't worry, Tang Monk. Although we are monsters, we still feel grateful for God's kindness in life. We eat wind and drink dew on weekdays to protect the safety of this side."

"Knowing that you are going to pass here, it will be getting late, so I specially invite you to come and rest, and I will send you out of Shuangcha Ridge tomorrow."

"In short, we are good monsters, don't be afraid."

"Well, we don't know how to eat people."

The three demon kings spoke to each other, proving that the three demon kings had no intention of eating Tang Seng.

However, Tang Seng couldn't believe it. These monsters looked fierce and fierce, and they were definitely not good monsters.

"Come on, little ones, get moving and prepare to invite Tang Seng to dinner."

Xiong Da gave an order, and a group of little monsters brought stone tables and wooden chairs, and put some porcelain bowls on them.

A few monsters lit a fire and prepared dinner in front of Tang Seng.

Sitting on a newly made wooden chair, Tang Seng saw the monster take out a handful of rice and cook it in the stone pot, and soon smelled the fragrance of rice.

There are also monsters who pick mushrooms to make soup, which is fragrant.

Tang Seng's stomach growled uncontrollably.

Starting from Fuyuan Temple, he walked for a few days and met no one else on the road. They all ate dry pancakes in the stream, and his mouth was sore.

The two followers also secretly swallowed their saliva.

Although surrounded by monsters, but hungry, the body's natural physiological phenomenon will not disappear because of fear.

Of course, in addition to the vegetarian dishes specially prepared for Tang Seng and the three of them, some monsters on the other side also prepared meat, which were all barbecued from ordinary animals caught on the mountain.

Li Yu turned into a monster and watched Tang Seng silently.

Seeing that his expression gradually stabilized, he sat there with palms together and recited sutras, thinking that this monk is quite pious.

"However, I want to see how to make up the 81 difficulties."

After the meal was ready, the three monsters invited Tang Seng and the three of them to dinner.

"This rice is what we bought from Chang'an City. It is a hybrid rice cultivated by the national teacher Li Yu. It tastes very good and has a yield of several thousand catties per mu. It is said that it will be promoted to the whole country." Xiong Da introduced.

Upon hearing this, the Tang monk put his palms together and said: "Amitabha, if such a high-yield rice can be popularized, it will surely save countless lives. It is really an immeasurable merit."

When he was in Chang'an City, he also heard about Mr. Li Yuli. He knew that he was a strange person. Unexpectedly, he made such a contribution and was named a national teacher, which made him very emotional.

So Xiong Da, Niu Er, and Fat Hu took advantage of the opportunity to praise Li Yu again, and told Tang Monk what Li Yu had done in Chang'an City, including the story of the legend of the White Lady and the conflict with Samantabhadra. None of them evaded.

"In today's Chang'an City, humans and monsters live in harmony, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. The scene of a prosperous age has already appeared."

"This is all due to the national teacher."

"Although we are monsters, we also admire the national teacher and are proud of having such a great figure in Datang."

"That's right, we are proud of being the demons of Datang."

A few monsters spoke with a lot of emotion and emotion.

Hearing this, Tang Seng was stunned for a while, these monsters are too abnormal.

Such a big change happened not long after I left Chang'an?

That national teacher actually made people live in harmony with demons, and even Samantabhadra Bodhisattva returned home in defeat!

"Cough cough..."

A monster with two long ears on its head is coughing while eating barbecued pheasant.

The three demon kings giggled and changed the topic to other places, asking what happened to Tang Seng along the way.

Tang Seng had just heard them talk about their experience in Chang'an City, and he was full of affection for them. He narrated what he had encountered along the way, saying that although the journey to the west was difficult, he must persevere.

Li Yu then said: "Elder Tang's persistence and perseverance are admirable. As the saying goes, when traveling thousands of miles and reading thousands of books, only by observing with your own eyes and comprehending with your heart can you understand more truths and principles. On this journey westward, the elder must See more, think more, and spread the glory of our Great Tang to the countries along the way."

At this time, Xiong Da took out a mobile phone, put his hands in front of Tang Seng and said, "Elder Tang, we deeply admire your determination and perseverance in traveling westward. Government decrees and current affairs will be given to you today to help you travel westward smoothly."

Tang Seng quickly declined and said: "I can't do it, I can't do it, I don't get rewarded for no merit. I have received a fast meal from the king today, and I can't repay it. How dare I accept such a precious thing."

Xiong Dao: "Elder, there is no need to refuse. Please recite sutras for us later. Let these little ones feel the Dharma and cleanse their hearts. This is the greatest reward. The elders will accept this mobile phone. It is not a valuable thing." , The national teacher once said that it will benefit hundreds of millions of people, and the elders use it to help spread the word. With the help of mobile phones, people's lives will be more convenient. This is a great merit."

As he spoke, he directly stuffed the mobile phone into Tang Seng's hand, and taught him how to use it easily.

"This is the mobile phone number of His Majesty the Emperor. If the elder misses his hometown, he can also call and video call with His Majesty."

Tang Seng was dizzy, and felt that the monster was too enthusiastic, but he was also moved when he heard that he could talk to the emperor thousands of miles away.

So he clicks on the video call request.

Soon, the video was connected, and the image of Li Shimin jumped out.

"Your Majesty!" Tang Seng said in surprise.

Li Shimin was stunned, and said in surprise: "Xuanzang, where have you been? Where did you get the mobile phone, and why did you have my number?"

Tang Seng hurriedly explained that he had arrived at the western border of the Tang Dynasty, met some kind-hearted monsters, told about the changes in Chang'an City, gave him a mobile phone enthusiastically, and taught himself how to use it.

"Your Majesty, since I left Beijing, I have been traveling day and night. I only hope to obtain the scriptures as soon as possible and return it to Your Majesty."

Tang Seng held the phone in both hands, choked up and said.

Li Shimin was also quite moved, and said: "Xuanzang, you are thinner. Although it is important to learn scriptures, you must also take care of your body. Now that the Tang Dynasty has the help of the national teacher, the national power is booming, the people's life is getting better day by day, and the society is becoming more and more harmonious. You Don't be too anxious, miss your homeland along the way, just read the Datang Daily, you can also chat with old people, I will ask someone to add you as a friend, you must remember to pass it when the time comes."

Hearing Li Shimin's words of concern, Tang Seng was moved in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty has entrusted me so much, I dare not slack off, and today I have the cell phone of the national teacher. From now on, I will no longer be alone on the way to learn the scriptures!"
