Soul Ferry: My master is Uncle Jiu

Chapter 448 A strange combination of circumstances
late at night.

Baolin Temple was quiet.

But if a person who practices spiritual cultivation comes to see it, he will be able to see the unusualness beneath this silence.

In front of the mountain gate, there were six Dings and six Jias, five Jiedis, four valued officials, and eighteen Dharma protectors guarding it.

If demons and monsters see it, they won’t even have time to run away, so how can they possibly catch up with it?
But it seems that there are still some people who are not afraid of death.

A gust of yin energy was wrapped in the divine wind and sent into Baolin Temple.

This move is undoubtedly a slap in the face.

The guardian gods all opened their eyes, and their divine power surged.

"Be bold!"

"They simply don't take us seriously!"

The Five Directions Jie Di were about to take action to drive out the evil spirit.

"Wait a minute! Everyone!"

A divine man in a black robe, holding a red pen in one hand and a scroll in the other, came from afar and stopped the Five Directions Jie Di who were about to take action.

The gods looked over and recognized the identity of the god who called out to them.

Guardian Jia Lan asked, "Night Wanderer, what do you mean? Was that divine power you just showed up because of you?"

In folk legends, the Night Walker is a fair and kind god.

When he was on night patrol, he held a notebook in his hand and recorded the grievances of the common people and reported them to the Emperor of Heaven, so that justice would be served and the wicked would be punished.

The Night Wanderer nodded and said, "I was entrusted by your Bodhisattva Manjusri to bring the ghost of the King of the Black Chicken Kingdom to Tang Sanzang."

"I'm afraid you might misunderstand me, so I came here to explain."

"Manjusri Bodhisattva?"

The guardian Jialan and the five Jiedis were all stunned. Why didn’t they know?

When the Six Dings, Six Jias and the Four Guardians heard that it was an arrangement by their own Buddhist sect, they stopped asking questions.

"That's what happened. I will send him to the palace later." Yeyoushendao.

On the other side, the King of the Black Chicken Kingdom who successfully entered the Baolin Temple learned from the Night Wandering God that Tang Sanzang could save him, so he rushed straight to Tang Sanzang's monk's room.

Arriving at a U-shaped courtyard, the King of the Black Chicken Kingdom confirmed Tang Sanzang's location and rushed in impatiently with a gust of cold wind.

However, as soon as the man passed through the wall, he hit a barrier of Buddha light.

Tang Sanzang was seen sitting cross-legged on the bed, surrounded by thick Buddha's light. Ordinary demons and monsters could not even get close to him. Even if they stood a little closer, they would feel purified.

The reckless King of the Black Chicken Kingdom screamed immediately and flew out at an even faster speed.

Tang Sanzang sensed the presence of evil energy and opened his eyes to look outside.

After discovering that the ghost was bounced into An Yan's room opposite, he entered the state of cultivation again.

An Yan hasn't slept yet, and is preparing the Taoist scriptures to be used in preaching Taoism tomorrow.

He noticed the moment the King of the Black Chicken Kingdom came in, but seeing that he was heading towards Sanzang's room, and seeing that he was just an ordinary ghost that was not even a fierce ghost, he didn't care.

Unexpectedly, the next second, the unlucky guy was directly injured by Sanzang's Buddha light and bounced into his own room.

The soul of the King of the Black Chicken Kingdom was flickering and he was about to die.

Fortunately, he was the ruler of a country and had dragon energy protecting him. If he were an ordinary ghost, he would have been scared to death long ago.

"help me!"

The King of Wuji Kingdom subconsciously asked An Yan for help, as if he was desperate and did not care whether the other party knew magic or not. He asked for help out of his instinct for survival.

He cannot die yet, he has to expose the true identity of the fake king.

An Yan glanced at him and casually sent a stream of magic power into the body of the King of the Black Chicken Kingdom.

With the nourishment of magical power, the soul of the King of the Black Chicken Kingdom quickly stabilized, and the dragon robe on his body also became much more solid.

But the dishevel he looked in was somewhat inappropriate.

An Yan shook his head. "It's really pitiful for you, the ruler of a country, to end up in such a situation."

It was also fortunate that the lion was a fool, otherwise the three thousand concubines would be enough for the King of the Black Chicken Kingdom to open up the green grassland.

Upon hearing this, the King of Wuji Kingdom was overwhelmed with grief and looked around in confusion.

Now that I can’t enter the holy monk’s room, who can I find to help me redress my grievances?
The King of Wuji Kingdom couldn't help but look at the young Taoist who was sorting out the Taoist scriptures.

He was wearing a Tai Chi robe, had an extraordinary figure and a stunning appearance, and he had just saved his life, so he must be a god.

"Master, do you want to hear my story?"

"Is there any wine?"

An Yan stopped and looked up.

"Huh? No!"

The King of the Black Chicken Kingdom choked. Why not play by the rules?
"Fortunately I have it. Please start your performance."

An Yan produced a white jade wine glass and a wine pot like a magician and poured himself a glass.

If it was anyone else who dared to speak to him like this, the King of Wuji would definitely punish him.

But if the other person is an immortal, he feels that it is a blessing earned in eight lifetimes that the immortal is willing to listen to his story.

Then, the king of Wuji country shed tears and said sadly: "Master, you don't know, I was originally the king of Wuji country, and the capital is only forty miles away from here."

"Five years ago, there was a severe drought and people were living in misery."

"As the ruler of a country, I have spent all the money and grain from the national treasury, shared the joys and sorrows with the people, bathed, fasted, burned incense and prayed for rain, but to no avail."

An Yan took a sip and commented, "He is indeed a wise ruler."

The King of Wuji paused, thinking that the one who knew me must be an immortal, and continued, "Just when the world was in danger, a Taoist priest came who could call the wind and rain and turn stone into gold. He came and told me that he could open an altar to pray for rain."

"Originally I only wanted three feet of rain, but he said the world had been dry for a long time, so it rained two inches more. Seeing how righteous he was, I became his sworn brother."

An Yan put down his wine glass and shook his head. "If someone is too attentive to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief."

"Master, you are right. It is a pity that I still trusted him so much!" The King of Wuji gritted his teeth and said, "Two more years passed, and during that time I treated him like a brother."

"One day when I was visiting the Imperial Garden with him, he said he had a treasure to show me and asked me to send everyone else away. I obeyed him."

"Then I followed him to the octagonal glazed well, and he said there were treasures in the well, and asked me to take a closer look. I believed him so much, but I never thought that he would push me into the well."

"They also sealed the well and planted banana trees."

"What's even more hateful is that I treat him as a brother, but he wants my civil and military officials, my harem, my country, and my kingdom!"

"After he pushed me down the well, he took on my appearance and took over everything that belonged to me."

An Yan knew that everything that happened to the King of Wuji was just because he put Manjusri Bodhisattva in the water for three days and three nights. Moreover, it was because Manjusri Bodhisattva started the trouble first.

It can be said that the King of the Black Chicken Kingdom was extremely unlucky. After all, who could have thought that a great Bodhisattva would have such a habit? Isn't this a case of fishing for justice?
"You are a poor fellow. Come, have a drink to warm yourself up."

An Yan produced another wine glass, poured a glass and placed it in front of the King of Wuji Kingdom.

Since the king of the Black Chicken Kingdom died by falling into the water, the ghost that appeared after his death was also wet and cold all over.

The King of Wuji was flattered and quickly took the wine glass with both hands, "Thank you, Taoist Priest, for the wine."

He drank it all in one gulp, and the nectar dissolved in his body, making him feel warm all over.

An Yan asked knowingly, "Then your Majesty, are you here to ask someone to exorcise demons?"

The King of the Black Chicken Kingdom nodded quickly, "It was the Night Wandering God who sent me here. He said that my three-year flood disaster was over and asked me to come and pay a visit to the holy monk. He said that the holy monk has a great disciple who is very good at slaying demons and exorcising monsters."

"But just now I went to look for that holy monk and almost got beaten to death."

As he spoke, the King of Wuji looked at An Yan cautiously, "May I ask your name, sir? Can you help me redress my grievances?"

"I am An Yan, as for the matter of redressing grievances, I heard you say that the man was a Taoist?" An Yan said.

The King of Wuji Kingdom nodded quickly, "Yes, he claims to be a Quanzhen Taoist."

"If he is really a Taoist, I have the obligation to clean up his sect. But if someone uses the name of Quanzhen to ruin the reputation of my sect, I will not let him off."

An Yan's words were implicitly saying that he would definitely help.

The King of Wuji was overjoyed upon hearing this and thanked him again.

"Master, you just need to find the prince, my biological heir, and tell him what's going on. He will definitely believe and follow your instructions."

"Without evidence and words, I'm afraid the prince won't believe what I say."

The King of Wuji also thought of this and took out a piece of white jade with a gold box and said, "This thing is close to my body and it fell into the well with me. The monster that took my appearance did not have this jade."

"Master, if you give this to the prince, he will definitely believe you and cooperate with you."

An Yan accepted the gold-box and white jade, and he had already obtained half of the merit. He smiled happily and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Tomorrow morning, I will take my apprentice to the royal city to explain the situation to the prince."

The King of the Black Chicken Kingdom also nodded happily and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Taoist priest. I'll go and ask the Night Wandering God to send me to the palace with a divine wind. I'll send a dream to the Queen, asking her and her son to work together and cooperate with you, Taoist priest."

An Yan nodded, "Then go ahead."

The King of Black Chicken Kingdom left.

The night wandering god outside was dumbfounded when he saw the King of the Black Chicken Kingdom being thrown into a Taoist priest's room.

"What should I do?"

The Night-wandering God subconsciously looked at the guardian Galan and the Five-Direction Jie Di and others.

Unexpectedly, the guardian Jialan and Wufang Jiedi looked numb and said, "It doesn't matter. Tang Sanzang regards An Yan as a brother. Even if the king of Wuji Kingdom is looking for Tang Sanzang, he will most likely go to him in the end."

"It's good like this now, we can get it done in one step."

During the days of fighting wits and courage with An Yan, they understood one thing: since they couldn't resist, they should just lie down. At least this would make themselves more comfortable.

Anyway, the Buddha and Bodhisattva all say they know what to do, so why should they worry about it?
The Night Wandering God, who didn't know what was going on, was full of "Fuck!" in his heart. Isn't the Taoism and Buddhism fighting fiercely right now?
If your Buddha or Bodhisattva knew about what you did, I wonder if they would be so angry that they would send you all into reincarnation with one slap.

Although the Night Wandering God felt that there were many complaints here, he was not in a hurry. He was a god in heaven who was temporarily running errands for Buddhism, so he was even less anxious.

After a long while, the King of the Black Chicken Kingdom came out of the room and ran outside.

As soon as he saw the Night Walker, he immediately begged the Night Walker to take him to the palace.

The Night Wandering God, who just wanted to put an end to all this trouble, blew away the palace with another divine wind.

After doing all this, he continued his night patrol.

The next day.

Everyone got up early. As for Zhu Bajie, he was simply woken up by Sun Wukong. As soon as he saw his master Tang Sanzang, he started to tell tales.

An Yan did not hide what happened last night from Tang Sanzang. After all, he did not steal or rob; the things were brought to his door openly.

After hearing this, Tang Sanzang realized that the evil spirit last night was the King of the Black Chicken Kingdom. However, he thought that since An Yan was already handling the matter, it would not matter whether he was there or not.

In addition, he was busy with the affairs of Baolin Temple, so he had even less time.

So Tang Sanzang said, "Wukong, Bajie and Wujing, whoever of you wants to go with me, go ahead. The master has something to do and cannot leave."

Sun Wukong, who knew what his master wanted to do, was the first to jump out and say, "I'll go with An Ge'er. I can help if there's anything."

Although Monk Sha was somewhat tempted, he knew better that being indecisive would not lead to a good ending, especially since he was wearing the golden hoop.

So Monk Sha said, "I will stay here to protect Master, you go ahead, Big Brother."

When Zhu Bajie heard that the monkey was going to leave, wouldn't he be able to take a nap? His eyes lit up and he waved his hand, saying, "I won't go. If I leave, I'm afraid that if something happens, Junior Brother Sha won't be able to handle it alone."

Sun Wukong curled his lips when he heard this, and saw through it at a glance, "You idiot, are you just saying this to be lazy?"

"Slander! Slander!" Zhu Bajie shouted with a look of grievance, "Master, Monkey King is slandering me!"

Tang Sanzang rolled his eyes. He was too embarrassed to expose his lazy and gluttonous second disciple.

An Yan shook his head with amusement, then took Wukong, Ao Lie, Xiong Bin and others out.

The group arrived above the royal city. An Yan looked down and saw that the sky above the royal city was covered with strange fog and gloomy clouds, and evil winds and resentment were blowing into the sky. It was obvious that a big monster was entrenched in the city.

Sun Wukong also sighed, "The king in that city is indeed a fake, otherwise when the real king ascends the throne, there will be auspicious lights and colorful clouds."

At this moment, Ao Lie pointed at the east gate and said, "Master, look, is that the prince we are looking for?"

Everyone looked.

I saw a group of people rushing out of the east gate, with flags fluttering, and everyone carrying a bow and arrow, surrounding a handsome young man holding Huang on the left and Cang on the right.

The group of people and horses continued along the way until they reached the East Suburb Hunting Ground, which was twenty miles away.

An Yan saw that the young man was surrounded by dragon energy and must be the prince.

"Yes, that's him."

"Wukong, I'll take Ao Lie and Xiong Bin to prepare first. You can try to lure him into the forest to find us later."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me, An Ge'er."

An Yan nodded, rolled up Ao Lie and Xiong Bin, fell into the woods, and transformed himself into a fortune teller, while Ao Lie and Xiong Bin turned into two boys.

Sun Wukong descended from the clouds, transformed into a white rabbit, flashed past the prince, and ran into the woods.

The prince was fooled. He threw out the goshawk, released the hunting dogs, whipped his horse and pulled the bow to chase after the beast, and it disappeared into the woods.

When the guards around saw the prince going deep into the city alone, they were startled and hurried to follow him.

But once we entered the forest, there was no sign of the prince.
