Being favored by evil gods, I became sick and weak and became the Bone Bodhisattva.

"It turns out that there are such bad guys in Sang Country..."

"Little one, get out of the car quickly! Hand over your package." Seeing someone approaching with a knife, Tangtang quickly untied the package and took out Xiaobai.

Xiaobai swayed and flew up, and the robbers were so frightened that they peed their pants when they saw it.

Of course there is nothing scary about the bare bone relic, but there are still four demons lying on it.

The four demons looked fierce and their eyes were still moving around. It looked like they were alive. Where had ordinary bandits seen such a formation?

"Mom-"

Even the knives in their hands were frightened, and the robbers ran for their lives crawling on the ground.

But the effect of releasing Xiaobai seems to be too good. Car owners should not just run away with the same goods.

"Uncle, don't run!"

Tangtang quickly drove the donkey cart to stop the owner, and it took a lot of effort to get him to calm down again.

"It, they really won't harm anyone, right?"

"It's okay. Unless Xiaobai can't hold it anymore, they can't harm anyone."

Uh.

The car owner obviously couldn't let go, so the little girl thought for a while and then said: "People call me Master Tangtang. Tangtang won't lie to you. If I say it's okay, it must be okay!"

Mage Sugar...it turns out you are Mage Sugar!

The car owner was no longer afraid, but looked very excited.

"Master, get in the car quickly. I am really lucky to be able to drive Master to Honglian Temple today!"

...........

It was a smooth journey and we never encountered any robbers blocking our way.

After all, we are getting closer and closer to the royal capital, and it just doesn't make sense that there are still bandits running rampant.

"Thank you uncle~"

"Haha, the mage is serious, goodbye!"

After waving goodbye to the car owner, the little girl came to Honglian Temple and met Yao Bingshi and Huizhen, who had been away for more than ten days.

"Tangtang, it's great that you're okay."

Yao Bingshi picked up the little girl and spun her around a few times, then put the fixed alms bowl into her hand.

"Put away the alms bowl quickly. The Red Lotus Master has been staring at this fixed alms bowl with suspicion these past few days."

After the little girl put away the alms bowl, Huizhen stepped forward to congratulate her and said, "That's so good. Not only is the Master safe and sound, but he also joined forces with Master Honglian to eliminate the Demon Mother. His merits are truly immeasurable."

Huh?

Tangtang shook her head quickly and told the two of them everything that had happened in the past few days.

"It turns out to be like this...Wait a minute, if that's the case, isn't Master Honglian talking nonsense and deceiving the king and the queen?!"

As soon as these words came out, the monks in the surrounding Honglian Temple immediately looked at Yao Bingshi angrily.

"Ahem, it's difficult to talk here. Let's talk after we go back to the house." Huizhen said quickly.

After returning to the house, seeing that Yao Bingshi was still unhappy, Huizhen turned the topic to Tangtang.

"Mage Tangtang, is your magic still blocked now?"

"No, no, Sister Wanzi has already untied it for me."

Huizhen also knew what the little girl called Sister Wanzi. She was just a stone the size of a fist.

How can a stone break the seal?

Huizhen thought so, but she didn't take it seriously with the little girl.

Anyway, it's good that people are back, and all other things are secondary.

"Good good good good"

Without knocking on the door, Master Honglian pushed the door open and entered.

When he saw Tangtang, his face was full of joy, and then he took her to the palace.

"Master Honglian, as you told everyone before, why did you tell..."

Just when Yao Bingshi wanted to ask Honglian why he lied, he heard the latter sigh: "Donor Yao, are you not treating poor monks well these days?"

No, to be honest, the hospitality was quite thoughtful.

Thinking of this, Yao Bingshi was immediately embarrassed to ask any more questions.

...........

When they arrived at the palace, the first person to receive the little girl was the queen.

Although she is one of the most noble people in the country, the queen has no airs in front of Tangtang. She took the little girl's hand and chatted very affectionately.

When they were talking about the Demon Mother, Honglian on the side suddenly said: "Your Majesty, if you feel tired, don't show off. The poor monk has repeatedly warned her before."

After such an interruption, although the queen did not feel very tired, she listened to Honglian's advice and interrupted the conversation with the little girl.

Soon Tangtang met King Sang again. Compared to the Queen's cordiality, the King's reception was much more "formulaic".

"Without the help of the little mage, Wang Er may not be able to come back this time."

"Money is a common thing. I want to build a pagoda for the young master and the master. I should express my gratitude."

Tangtang felt that she had done nothing, so she declined a few words.

Master Honglian also declined, but looking at his rosy face, he had already agreed in his heart.

Chapter 132 Dormant

In the past few days, everyone in the Sang Kingdom was discussing two major events. One was that the king wanted to build a pagoda for Master Honglian and Master Tangtang to thank them for saving the life of the eldest prince.

"I heard that the witch eats a hundred boys and girls every day, and has countless demons at her disposal."

"Mage Tangtang went to succumb to the demon alone, but was caught by the Demon Mother. Later, Master Honglian secretly rescued the mage, and the two of them joined forces to seal the Demon Mother again."

After the demon mother took away her son, King Sang strictly blocked the news in order to avoid causing widespread panic.

But now that things have passed, the prince is back, and the Demon Mother is dead, there is no need to continue to block the news.

Based on the 'truth' in Honglian's mouth, various artistically processed versions quickly emerged among the people.

The Demon Mother became a being who could stop children from crying, and Master Honglian and Master Tangtang became representatives of Buddhism in the Sang Kingdom.

Of course, the former was a Buddhist card a long time ago, and the latter really took advantage of this incident to become a well-known 'little mage' in the Sang country.

The second major event can actually be seen as an extension of the first major event. On the charge of "colluding with the Demon Mother to harm the prince," King Sang characterized Brahma as a cult.

Since it is a cult, the government will naturally come forward to crack down hard.

Sanskritism is quite influential in the Sang Kingdom, so no wonder everyone is talking about it.

Ordinary people were just talking, but Hong Lian, who single-handedly promoted this matter, was very nervous. His use of royal power to suppress the Brahma religion was actually a dangerous move.

But if we don’t suppress it now, the situation will only get worse in the future.

Sanskritism has developed in silence to such an extent that it is impossible to remain content under Buddhism forever.

'Faced with the government's crackdown, the Brahma religion will either turn from bright to dark and temporarily go dormant, or...'

Or he could really flip the table and rebel, and fight against both Buddhism and the government on his own.

Hong Lian himself couldn't tell which result he wanted to see more, but after various signs showed that the Brahma finally chose to hibernate, he subconsciously let out a long sigh of relief.

'In this way, I, as a Buddhist, will have more time to prepare. '

'First find out all the demon-sealing points in Sang Kingdom, and then concentrate your efforts to kill the most powerful demons one by one, so that the Brahma Sect will not use those seals to cause trouble again. '

.............

"Your Majesty, the Demon Mother's magical powers are invincible to ordinary people. Now that Wang'er is back, you should treat those guards lightly."

After the incident where the Demon Mother abducted her son happened, the guards who escorted the Queen to Honglian Temple to offer incense were all thrown into the sky prison and have not been released until now.

The queen was kind-hearted. Seeing that King Sang was in a good mood in recent days, she took this opportunity to intercede for them.

"..."

King Sang remained silent for a while, but there was an annoyed look on his brows.

Of course he knew that the Demon Mother was invincible to anyone, but if a prince was 'abducted' on the street, someone would have to bear the responsibility.

Furthermore, King Sang also needed a place to vent his anger.

"The king is known as the Buddha King and has a reputation of benevolence. If you ignore them and just behead them in public, I'm afraid..."

The queen knew her husband well and knew that he always cherished his reputation.

Sure enough, after hearing what she said, the man's expression suddenly wavered.

After repeatedly begging in soft words, King Sang finally said: "For the sake of the queen, I will spare their lives. However, if you are guilty of a death penalty, you will not be able to escape. All 28 guards will be punished with ink and exiled to the frontier!"

The meaning of ink punishment is to tattoo words or patterns on the face or forehead of the prisoner, and then dye it with ink as a symbol of the person being tortured.

This punishment has little actual impact on the prisoner's physical condition, but it is a humiliating punishment.

The queen was shocked and couldn't help but want to persuade her a few more words, but King Sang waved his hand to signal her not to say anything.

More advice would be useless or even counterproductive, so the queen could only sigh in her heart.

...........

"The 28th Guard will be here tomorrow to be tortured, right?"

In Wancheng, which is adjacent to the royal capital, the criminal officer Jiang Boda was talking with his colleagues about the topic of the 28 Guards.

"Yeah, I don't know how many will come in the end."

Jiang Boda was startled and quickly understood the meaning of these words.

Not everyone can endure the ink torture, especially those 28 guards who were the royal guards before!

It is very likely that someone will commit suicide immediately after receiving the news. I really don’t know how many people will come here to be tortured tomorrow.

"There's always twenty," someone said uncertainly.

"More, I guess fifteen!"

"Thirteen, if you guess correctly, give them all to me."

No one has been sentenced to ink punishment for a long time, and these criminals have very itchy hands.

"Ten!"

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was getting lively, Jiang Boda casually guessed a number, and he guessed 'seventeen'.

Amidst all the chatting and bragging, the sun gradually set.

Although it wasn't really time to go home yet, everyone saw that it was almost time, so they left in twos and threes.

After Jiang Boda said goodbye to several colleagues, he did not go back directly. Instead, he went to the Honglian Temple branch in the city to burn incense.

'The house is deserted and there is no one to accompany me. '

'Bodhisattva bless me and give me a good marriage. '

After kowtowing devoutly a few times, Jiang Boda stood up and was about to leave the temple when a monk quickly walked up to him and said, "Donor Jiang, in a few days a master will come to your home to check. When will you be home?"

"What to check?" Jiang Boda looked puzzled.

"My Buddhist statistics on the various demon-sealing spots in Sang Kingdom were not complete before. This time, Master has united 170 three monasteries to conduct a large-scale investigation. The focus of the investigation is on those ancient buildings."

..............

His yard seemed to be quite old. Thinking this, Jiang Boda couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Master, why don't you come back with me now to check it out! Don't want a devil to suddenly appear in my house."

"Donor, please be patient. The poor monk doesn't have enough magical power. He can't find anything even if he goes there."

In short, the manpower in the temple is tight, so we have to check them one by one in order.
