Outlaws start by climbing to the top of the martial arts wanted list

Chapter 392: Betray King Qian’s Trust

Carrying the Vajra Pestle to subdue demons.

The laughing monk left the imperial capital and headed straight for Cangzhou.

The Laughing Monk acted swiftly and decisively, without any packing or preparation, but his speed to Cangzhou was not fast, but not slow either, somewhere in between.

With Monk Xiao's speed, even though he didn't hurry, he still arrived in Cangzhou soon.

Although Dou Changsheng did not explicitly say that he was inspecting the north this time, Monk Xiao knew that it would definitely not be possible to conduct the inspection openly.

If his identity as an imperial envoy was made public, then wherever he arrived, he would be greeted by various officials and local dignitaries. Banquets would be held one after another, and every day he would either eat and drink or watch plays and listen to music. If he were not a monk, there would be even more exciting programs.

During this period, bribes, panaceas, magic weapons were constantly stuffed into his arms.

This is the simple life.

This time, King Qian personally brought out the magic weapon, the Vajra Pestle. He trusted himself so much that it was impossible for Monk Xiao to do such a foolish thing.

Monk Xiao knew King Qian's purpose. Now that Overlord Valley had been eradicated and the Blood God Rebellion had been resolved, King Qian's power was so great that he had frightened countless people. Countless ambitious people had to keep their tails between their legs and dared not to kill officials and rebel again.

But it doesn't mean that they have become obedient. They dare not move openly, but they keep making small moves in secret.

This time, he inspected the North to deal with these ambitious people. Of course, Monk Xiao also knew that he could not eradicate them all with his own ability. He could only solve as many as he found. This would make the North quieter, even if it was only temporary. But with this sorting out, at least there would be fewer ambitious people in the North.

So after arriving in Cangzhou, Laughing Monk went straight to the important town of Cangzhou to build a city.

Cangzhou is an upper-class province and a big province. In addition to the capital city, it also has many big cities. This city is one of them.

This place is close to the edge of Cangzhou, which is also the nearest big city. Laughing Monk is touring the north, not Cangzhou, so he will stay in Cangzhou. Therefore, there is no way to visit every city. Now he can only choose big cities and has to give up on ordinary cities.

This is enough. After all, ambitious people who can rise to power are generally from big families and come from major cities.

As for the grassroots heroes, they are not under consideration now, because there are too many of them and you can't tell who will rise to power. There are even too many big families that have been eliminated, thus creating opportunities for ordinary people. Laughing Monk didn't think much about this, because many things, although they will cause considerable consequences, won't they be done?
You don’t need to think too far ahead when doing things, because if you can’t get over the present, there’s no future.

The laughing monk wrapped the Vajra Pestle with cloth, making it look like a wooden stick. Strands of hair continued to grow out of it, and in the blink of an eye, it grew into long, flowing black hair.

Even though his appearance remained the same, except for the addition of longer hair, the image of the laughing monk changed drastically.

Unless you are very familiar with the Laughing Monk, no one would dare to recognize him if they saw him today.

The Laughing Monk also took out the prepared hat and put it on. This outfit made him look more like a martial artist, but it was also very ordinary, because there were too many similar ones.

If possible, Monk Xiao also wanted to put away the Vajra Pestle, but unfortunately, it was a magical weapon.

Ordinary storage rings cannot do this at all. Why is Nantianmen so precious?
The reason why Nan Tianmen is so powerful is that it can teleport immortal artifacts. If a teleportation array could do that, then what is the use of Nan Tianmen?
The laughing monk walked slowly into the city, looking at the wide streets and the people coming and going.

He subconsciously wanted to put his hands together, but in the end he restrained himself and walked along the street step by step, thinking about how to find a point of entry.

If you come to build a city as an imperial envoy, it will be extremely difficult to investigate the ambitious person, because the imperial envoy is under great scrutiny, and before he can make any move, he will be discovered in advance and everything will be arranged. Everything you see is fake, and the truth has been covered up long ago.

Therefore, you have to hide your identity and enter the city to see the real city construction. However, this also has a disadvantage, that is, the city is too big and you don’t know who has the problem.

The laughing monk was walking slowly, and actually he was going to a place, which was the local temple.

All Buddhists in the world are one family.

King Qian is a son of Buddha and the master of Buddhism in the world, so Monk Xiao also has the power to mobilize the local Buddhist forces for his own use. After all, he is an imperial envoy and holds the Vajra Pestle, which is more useful than the Imperial Sword.

Monk Xiao planned to walk around and see the progress of the city construction. If he still found nothing by the evening, he would go to the local Buddhist temple and use the power of Buddhism to dig out some ambitious people and eliminate them.

As an imperial envoy, this first battle was easy because he could catch the enemy by surprise, but that wouldn't be the case the next time.

The matter of building the city will definitely be exposed. By then, other major cities will be prepared, and it will be difficult to catch them.

As an imperial envoy, it is impossible for him to kill people without evidence.

The laughing monk walked on the streets of the city and began to meditate.

The laughing monk thought for a long time, and suddenly, he realized something.

That is, you keep moving forward and never change the direction. It is true that the city you build is a big city, and the streets are wide and straight, but no matter what kind of street it is, it always has an end.

And now, I have been thinking about it for so long, but there has not been any change at all.

This scene was incredible. Even though the Laughing Monk did not travel at full speed and deliberately slowed down his speed, only slightly faster than ordinary people, he should have reached the end.

When the laughing monk suddenly realized this, he stopped thinking about it and focused on the road.

Upon this look, Laughing Monk discovered something else wrong.

Because many of the people coming and going on the street were seen more than once by Xiao Monk, and with Xiao Monk's current martial arts skills, he couldn't even remember how many times it had happened. This made Xiao Monk frightened, as it was really too abnormal.

There is a force that is constantly interfering with me and blurring my cognition. Otherwise, with my own keen sense, I should have discovered something wrong long ago.

The Laughing Monk couldn't help but grasp the magic weapon behind him. If he didn't have the Vajra Pestle, the Laughing Monk believed that he would have been defeated the moment he stepped into the city.

It is only because of the magic weapon that one can discover what is wrong, thus making it possible to break free.

The Laughing Monk tore the cloth into pieces without thinking, revealing the true form of the Vajra Pestle. At this point, why bother with patrolling the north? The most important thing was to stay alive.

I'm sorry, King Qian.
