The King said in a deep voice, "Three National Teachers, now those Arhats of Jetavana Monastery are probably going to take a hard line. Do you have any…"
Great Immortal Huli suddenly shook his head and said:
"That's not it, Your Majesty, there was a slight mishap…"
"Those Arhats who descended, I don't know what stimulated them, but after they came down, they beat up those hundreds of monks, turning them all into pig-heads before leaving."
King: "…"
My dear, are you deliberately teasing me? Can't you finish it in one go?
Great Immortal Huli looked innocent, as if to say, it's you who have been distracted and didn't listen to people finish speaking.
The King coughed lightly, relieved,
"Since that's the case, then our Chechi Kingdom seems to be fine…"
"By the way, aren't they going to exchange official documents? Hurry up and call them over, so they can go to the West as soon as possible."
Seeing the King's nervous appearance, the National Teacher knew that the King was worried about those things.
However, the National Teacher also agreed with the King's idea. As long as they quickly bypass this hurdle, there would at least be fewer troubles.
Soon, someone invited Tang Sanzang and others over.
Tang Sanzang respectfully bowed,
"Greetings, Your Majesty. This poor monk is a monk from the Eastern Land of Great Tang, going to the Western Heaven to worship Buddha and seek scriptures."
The King nodded, "Very good, Master. This is the official document you want to exchange. My Chechi Kingdom is currently going through a troubled time, so we won't keep you as guests."
It was rare for a king to be so sensible.
Tang Sanzang bowed,
"Then I thank Your Majesty. This poor monk will set off now."
The King smiled with satisfaction,
"Master, have a smooth journey."
If the Western Heaven was hoping that Tang Sanzang and others would cause some trouble in Chechi Kingdom, then letting Tang Sanzang and others leave quickly would solve the problem.
The King expected this, but things obviously didn't go as he expected.
Just as Tang Sanzang and others were about to set off, they suddenly heard a commotion outside.
The King frowned, "What's going on?"
Immediately, a court official came in a panic to report: "Your Majesty, there are many elders outside the gate requesting an audience."
The King frowned and said, "What is it about? Tell them to wait until tomorrow."
However, the court official said anxiously:
"But Your Majesty, those people are coming aggressively, with thirty or forty elders and many monks, who seem to be the monks who were previously arrested for corvée labor!"
A look of worry appeared on the King's face,
"Shouldn't those monks be serving their sentences? How did they instigate those elders to come?"
A look of extreme displeasure flashed in the King's eyes. Obviously, the King had already guessed that the Western Heaven would not give up so easily.
The King looked to the three National Teachers for help,
"Three National Teachers, what do you think?"
The three Great Immortals looked at each other, but unanimously looked towards the white-robed, blue-shirted man with maxed-out looks in Tang Sanzang's group.
The eyes of the three Great Immortals were full of pleading.
Not only the three Great Immortals, but even Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong looked at Chu Hao.
Chu Hao twitched the corner of his mouth,
"Can't you guys handle it yourselves? Do you still need me to work overtime?"
"Forget it, forget it, summon them in then."
The three Great Immortals were extremely happy. Since Chu Hao had spoken, then there was definitely no problem… Great Immortal Huli coughed lightly,
"Your Majesty, then summon them in. They can't turn the sky upside down."
You guys are relaying messages… By the way, who is that white-robed man? Why is his temperament so otherworldly and handsome? Has there ever been such a handsome man in the world… The King of Chechi could only secretly struggle for a moment, then said directly:
"Summon them."
You guys are relaying messages… The court official obediently went outside and shouted: "Summon them."
Immediately afterwards, they felt the crowd outside buzzing.
The next moment, dozens of monks, leading dozens of elders, swaggered and rushed into the hall aggressively.
With their momentum, they didn't seem like people being summoned, but rather like rebellious officials coming to force the palace.
And the leader was none other than the pot-bellied monk who had been carrying bricks outside the city!
Even Chu Hao was stunned for a moment. When Chu Hao saw the configuration of the monks clearly, he understood.
Among those monks, there were several reincarnated Arhats with not weak strength, including that pot-bellied monk.
Chu Hao immediately reacted. It must be that the Western Heaven took advantage of his absence to directly release these monks, so that they could continue to promote the Journey to the West.
It seems that those people in the Western Heaven are only superficially abiding by the rules.
Damn it, isn't this bullying a righteous and meticulous good person like me? Chu Hao was displeased in his heart.
But he saw that the monk led many elders into the hall, without bowing or kneeling, just crying loudly:
"Your Majesty, there has been no rain this spring, and we fear a drought in the summer months. We have come to request that Your Majesty pray for a rain to save the people."
The King's eyes sank, but he said: "Elders, please withdraw. Let the three National Teachers go to pray for rain, and rain will come."
However, those people did not retreat at all,
The leading monk even said with a look of anger:
"Your Majesty, those Taoists are all good-for-nothings who occupy positions without doing any work. There has been no rain this spring, which must be because they are not strong enough!
They are just bewitching Your Majesty. Their previous ability to pray for rain must have been a coincidence. Please establish my Western Religion as the state religion, so that we can pray for rain and save this Chechi Kingdom!"
The monks and elders all shouted in unison:
"Please, Your Majesty, drive out these Taoists who occupy positions without doing any work and establish the Western Religion as the state religion, otherwise we will never leave!"
At this moment, everyone did not hide anything and directly said their threats. If it wasn't forcing the palace, it was better than forcing the palace.
Although I don't know where they got their confidence…
The King's face sank,
"Impudent, how I do things is not for you to instruct!
"Guards, drag them out!"
However, this angry roar did not elicit any response, and not even a guard came in.
"Guards!"
The King's voice still did not get any response.
On the contrary, the pot-bellied monk laughed loudly,
"Your Majesty, there's no need to shout. No one will respond to you!"
The King looked shocked and said:
"What have you done to them?!"
"Everyone has converted to my Buddha in order to pray for rain as soon as possible. As long as Your Majesty agrees to establish the Western Religion as the state religion, Your Majesty's subjects will still be yours."
The fat monk laughed triumphantly.
Chu Hao raised an eyebrow, his eyes piercing through the endless void, seeing that the guards outside had long been brainwashed by the sounds of Sanskrit, each one like a walking corpse, so they couldn't hear anything.
It seemed that the Western Heaven had already made preparations.
This was a proper palace coup!
