Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Chapter 253 The murderer once said that he wanted to kill all the corrupt officials in the city

Whether Fa Hai killed the person or not, only he knows best.

And Fahai can be sure that this is the first time he has come to this place, but this incident happened, and it seems that there are witnesses who saw him commit the crime
First of all, the big hat that Bajie put on the opposite side can be ruled out first, because these grassroots have not yet had the ability to inform the government people under the noses of their masters and apprentices. Moreover, according to their testimony, the government people saw Let alone talking about cooperation, they are afraid that they will eat their knives first.

So, is it framed?

After all, I have traveled all the way west, and now I am even more famous, and there are demon kings such as the Bull Demon King gathering a group of demons in Xiniu Hezhou, and it is impossible for the courts of various countries to turn a blind eye.

Except for the people in the countryside, I believe that the imperial courts of all countries going west should have known the dharma name of Master Sanzang, the imperial brother of the Tang Dynasty, and perhaps they had already had the appearance pictures of their five masters and apprentices.

But I have just arrived here, and I have no grievances or enmity with Hua'an Mansion, why should they do this?
Could it be that they know my reputation and have scruples in their hearts, so they simply set up such a trick, put the blame on me, and play the first blow?
But if this is the case, there are too many loopholes in it, and it cannot be justified at all.

This idea just turned in Fa Hai's mind for a while, and then was thrown aside. Instead of suspecting that the people in Hua'an Mansion designed him, it would be better to say that the Bull Demon King changed his appearance, came here to kill people, and corrupted me. reputation.

After all, Wukong once said that the Bull Demon King has a way of changing, but it is not as exquisite as him.

"Monk! Take your life—ah!"

Just as he was thinking like this, he saw the general rushing forward again. The horse was afraid of the great sage and dared not go forward. He got off his horse and raised his gun on foot.

Wukong in front of him showed a fierce look, and knocked the hero to the ground with a stick. Now that he had done it properly, he didn't hurt his life. Wild rider, I don’t know the etiquette. My master is the younger brother of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The imperial envoys of the Celestial Dynasty didn’t know how to kneel to greet them quickly, and dared to use swords rashly. Could it be that they deceived me, Xuanjia of the Tang Dynasty, not to dare to go on an expedition?!”

The Great Sage was also afraid of causing other twists and turns, so he first pulled out the big banner of Datang.

Besides, he has watched it before. Although this cavalry general has a lot of blood and evil spirit. Whether he is a good official or not is another matter, but he is definitely a fierce general in the world. With his protection in this city, no ordinary monster Don't dare to come in and play wild.

It's a pity. This time, when I met Sun Dasheng, he was no match at all.

The general struggled slightly on the ground a few times, seeing that he couldn't break free, he calmed down a bit, but with a cold face, he said angrily: "Shameless monster monk! Drive the monster monkey to commit murder!"

"Master, this is a fool without a brain." The Great Sage replied to his master.

Because his general was captured alive, the soldiers who surrounded him didn't dare to be too presumptuous, but the words of the great sage aroused the anger of the crowd. Even if they couldn't bear it, they would come up with knives and guns to fight for their lives.

"Back off, all back off!"

It was the general who saw something was wrong and yelled before telling them to stop in order to prevent their lives from being lost in vain.

"Amitabha, the poor monk is a monk who went to the west to worship Buddha under the order of the king of Tang. His dharma name is Tang Sanzang."

Fa Hai recited the Buddha's name, introduced himself formally, and said, "Wukong, let this benefactor go first."

"Yes."

Wukong listened to his master most.

Fa Hai can distinguish between good and evil, but the murderous general in front of him has a very clear source of murder. Most of it comes from killing monsters, and a small part of it is from killing on the battlefield.

What he was even more curious about was why such a general was not sent to the real front line, but asked him to guard this Hua'an mansion.

Huaan Mansion.

It is the seat of a prefecture of Gaochang State. This place borders the Three Kingdoms, Xiliang Nvguo to the east, and Benbo State to the west. The southern corner originally penetrated into the territory of Jisai Kingdom, but five or six hundred years ago, the sky fell A flaming mountain cut off the road from Hua'an Mansion to Benbo Kingdom and Jisai Kingdom. (This Gaochang country is the Gaochang country in Journey to the West, please do not substitute the Gaochang country in history)

It was also the sin that Hou'er committed in the past. Now, as his master, he knows that there is a flaming mountain here, but he still walks here. Naturally, he also has the idea of ​​cleaning up the mess for this stubborn guy.

Now Hua'an Mansion is only bordered by Daughter Country, because of Daughter Country's geographical characteristics, it is useless for other countries to occupy its land. Therefore, Daughter Country has no war with neighboring countries, but there are many business exchanges between Daughter Country and neighboring countries.

In the past, some men's caravans went to the Xiliang women's country, and after suffering a few bad losses, they formed women's trade teams to interact with each other.

These are not mentioned for now.

Therefore, for such a fierce general, instead of putting him in the frontier fortress of Yubenbo Kingdom or Jisai Kingdom, he is exiled here. In Fa Hai's view, it is tantamount to being exiled.

Reminiscent of the previous confessions of these robbers, it seems reasonable that such a thing happened.

Swah——

When the general saw this Sanzang master who claimed to be an imperial envoy of the Great Tang approaching him, he first lowered his eyebrows slightly, as if he was watching the opponent's steps, then went up, then looked at the posture, and finally stayed on the face, he also became suspicious for a moment .
Seeing Master Sanzang getting closer and closer to him, he couldn't help but make a move after all.

Hooking your fingers into an eagle gesture, you stretch out your hand to explore.
"Puff—hahaha, hēng hēng—"

Ok?Is this the pig demon's laugh?

"what--"

Before he could take a closer look, he felt that his claws hit a steel plate, and then his wrist was locked, and then a huge force hit him, making him twist his body, and immediately half-kneeled on the ground.

"Hiss—" After the general screamed in pain, he sucked in a breath of cold air, but said in his mouth: "Monk, you also said that you are not a murderer!"

He used his body to test, to try the means of this demon monk, and now he can capture himself with one move, plus he has such vicious disciples under his command, not to mention killing all the prefects, he wants to kill them all It's easy for them to have a full house in Hua'an. Huh?
It was his hesitation.

Suddenly he let out his twisting strength. Although he was unprepared and let his body be in a trance for a while, he didn't fall down because of it. Instead, he turned around relayingly and looked at the Buddhist monk Sanzang.

He was about to speak, but Master Sanzang on the opposite side spoke first: "But do you understand?"

The general was still a bit hesitant, but seeing the face of the Tang Dynasty and the abilities of their master and apprentice, he handed over his hands and reported to his family: "I am Hua Feilong, the captain of Xiaoqi School in Hua'an Prefecture, Gaochang State."

Such ability is actually just a school lieutenant?

The Great Sage heard his heart move, and deliberately said: "Who is the guard of Hua'an Mansion? Since your family's prefect is dead, it is time for the general of the mansion to welcome my master."

"There is no general in the mansion." Hua Feilong shook his head: "Now I am the highest position in the city."

"Where are the rest of the officials?" The Great Sage asked again, "Where are the long history, meritorious officials, chief secretary and others?"

"Last night when the prefect's family was killed, someone heard the demon monk. The murderer once said that he would kill all the corrupt officials in the city. As a result, the officials in the city dragged their families and ran away all over the place overnight."

"Report!" At this moment, a horse came to report.

Seeing the abnormal state at the gate of the city, he paused for a while.

Hua Feilong glared at him: "Tell me quickly."

"My lords who went out of the city at night were ambushed ten miles north of the city. No one survived."

"Bold madman!"

After Hua Feilong scolded, he quickly bowed to Master Sanzang: "It was the young general who wronged the Master before, please forgive him."

"It doesn't matter." Fa Hai waved his hand. He didn't ask Hua Feilong why he ruled out his suspicion, nor did he inadvertently reveal a dark feeling in Hua Feilong's eyes. Have you seen the appearance of the murderer?"

"Yes." Hua Feilong nodded, and said: "Yesterday, the young general led the guards to patrol the city defense as usual, and suddenly saw the prefect's mansion on fire, and it was already a long time late when he rushed there. The whole family of the prefect's mansion, including servants and maidservants, was full of people. No one was left alive, and under the light of the fire, a figure was reflected, even the appearance was clearly visible."

"The figure and appearance are the same as those of a poor monk?" Fa Hai asked.
"With my eyesight, I can't see the difference in body shape." Hua Feilong frowned, and said: "From now on, it seems more like that he deliberately showed his face in front of us to put blame on us. Mage."

Speaking of this, Hua Feilong glanced at the Great Sage, and seemed to say again: I am also the leader of the army. Captain, not a fool without a brain.

Duangduangduang!

Bang bang bang!
Suddenly at this time, gongs and drums were played in the city.

Even if it's not the New Year or the festival. Some people blatantly set off firecrackers.

Of course, they were not welcoming the Tang monks, but seeing off the corrupt officials in the city. If they saw someone kneeling on the ground crying, most of them would cry with joy.

A few of them are relatives who work as handymen in the prefect's mansion or the maids.

The master and apprentice looked at each other, sighed helplessly in their eyes, and said in their hearts: Looking at the dog officials in this mansion is really unpopular.

"It's all gone, it's all gone—"

Hua Feilong sent his men to accompany the people to persuade them to return, so he only dared to send his followers out. If he also released the big soldiers, he didn't know what trouble would happen.

"Report--! Zuobu is creating chaos."

"Report—! The mutiny of the Sound Shooting Battalion."

"Damn it, it's all upside down!" Hua Feilong got on his horse, put his fingers between his lips, and blew a sharp whistle. Then he saw about a hundred cavalrymen coming. He waved his whip, and his momentum immediately rose. It seemed that the cavalry unit had merged with him, "Brothers, follow me first to take care of those bastards who have never seen blood."

"Wai!"

"Wai!"

"Wai!"

After shouting three times in a row, he rushed out of the city gate and hurried to the barracks, but left five masters and apprentices of Fahai and more than 30 bandits in place.

Even Hua Feilong never saw these 30 bandits from the beginning to the end. Originally, they should be the protagonists of Hua'an Mansion today, but the sudden change in Hua'an Mansion just now made them no one care about them, and no one seemed to care about them The presence.

It was Bajie who stepped forward and said, "I originally said that the government would come to convict you, but now it's good. Almost all officials, big and small, in Hua'an Mansion are dead."

Everyone fell silent after hearing Bajie's words, and for a moment they didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

"Master, where are we going now? We can't block the gate of the city, right?" Xiao Bailong asked.

"Let's go to the prefect's mansion first." Fa Hai made a decision, "Do you want to go with me? If you find anything, you can report it to your general."

Fa Hai said the last sentence to Hua Feilong who left behind a team of infantry guards.

The team leader thought for a while and said: "Since you are not the murderer, general, I believe you are not. We will go with you. If we die at your hands, it happens to be a warning to the general."

"Amitabha, you are faithful."

"We are elite soldiers who have fought a hundred battles, and we have our own loyalty. How can we be those who are greedy for life and afraid of death?"

Fahai laughed and said, "Then trouble this little general, and show the poor monk a way."

The team leader's face flushed immediately, obviously caught off guard by the little general's call.

On the way to the prefect's mansion——

The Great Sage is also pondering the strangeness of this matter, then Hua Feilong should not have lied, the murderer who killed the entire family of the prefect's mansion last night, just changed the appearance of the master to commit the crime, the one who is truly proficient in the art of transformation among the three realms Not many, it seems that the changes performed by some goblins are more illusions, commonly known as blindfolds.

The Great Sage suddenly thought of what Erlang Zhenjun said to himself in the Zhenjun Temple: "There are some things that Master is not suitable to do, but he can."

But this kind of disaster in front of him was definitely not the work of Erlang Zhenjun. If he took action, he would never be so rough, nor would he kill innocent people indiscriminately.

"The Bull Demon King?" The Great Sage shook his head again: "If he came, the whole city would have eaten it long ago."

I thought for a long time in my heart, but I couldn't come to a conclusion. I just put down my thoughts and arrived at the prefect's mansion.

Fa Hai observed for a while, his brows gradually wrinkled together, his expression became more and more unfriendly.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"It's a Buddhist."

"What?" Several disciples were taken aback.

"The souls of the dead here have already been saved in advance." Fa Hai shook his head, his face solemn: "It's the curse of rebirth."

The Great Sage raised a question: "Master, the rebirth mantra is widely spread in the world. Could it be that someone is acting in the name of Buddhism?"

"No." Fa Hai shook his head: "Although the Rebirth Mantra is widely spread, if there is not enough Buddhist practice and mana blessing, how can it have such an effect of saving the dead souls of a whole family?"

Wu Jing nodded aside: "Elder brother, Master is right!"

"You seldom save the souls of the dead in the past, so you don't know the mystery of it. Even if the younger brother tries to save the souls of this house, it will take some effort. People outside the Buddhist sect want to use the old mantra to kill the dead in a very short time. The souls of the dead in the mansion have been rescued, I am afraid that if they fail to be rescued, they will be devoured by the ghosts."

Teacher Fahai and his disciples didn't avoid this small group of guards, they were stunned when they heard these words, and they didn't know whether to believe it or not.

"Could it be that there are other eminent monks in the mansion?" Bajie asked.

"If there is an eminent monk, he will have a sense of being a teacher."

"Amitabha." Fahai held the Buddha's salutation towards the west, and after reciting the Buddha's mantra, he said to several disciples: "Everyone spread out, and we must find this beast before nightfall today."
