Primordial World: Big shots are all my friends-Chapter 953 - 870: Tang Sanzang Reenters Chang’an

Tang Sanzang smiled and said, "Do you have a small private room?"

The servant nodded repeatedly, beaming with a smile, and said, "Yes! Yes!"

He hurriedly gestured with his hand and said, "Please come inside, guest."

Tang Sanzang, the Queen of Women Country, and Chen Daya followed the waiter into a private room and sat down.

After ordering the dishes, the waiter left the room, closed the door, and muttered softly, "A little monk with two beauties, really enviable! Now I want to become a monk at the White Horse Temple."

In the private room, Tang Sanzang’s expression slightly changed. The White Horse Temple was the temple that Emperor Tang built for him originally. Does it still exist now? He wonders what has happened to it.

The Queen of Women Country stood by the window, watching the bustling traffic below, and said with emotion, "This is Chang’an, so prosperous! Much more flourishing than our Daughter Country."

Tang Sanzang smiled and said, "Five hundred years ago, it was from here that I set out, journeying westward, to obtain the True Scripture from the Western Heaven."

The Queen of Women Country turned to look at Tang Sanzang, and her smile carried a sweetness as she said, "Thankfully you went to obtain the scriptures, otherwise there wouldn’t be Yaya, and I wouldn’t have met you."

Tang Sanzang chuckled, nodding sincerely and said, "Indeed!"

The two exchanged a glance, with deep affection flowing through the air. Now Tang Sanzang no longer cares about any rules and regulations.

Chen Daya, sitting at the table beside, covered her face shyly and exclaimed, "Oh, so cheesy!"

The Queen of Women Country laughed and said, "Silly girl."

"Help~"

"Help~"

"Somebody save me~"

...

There was a faint cry for help coming from the Outer Door.

Tang Sanzang’s family moved to the window and looked outside.

They saw a simply dressed girl running down the street, crying and shouting for help as she fled.

Behind her, three burly monks chased relentlessly, wielding their temple sticks.

Passersby on the street all veered away, not daring to intervene.

The Queen of Women Country, unable to tolerate seeing a woman being bullied, immediately frowned in dissatisfaction and said, "Brother Imperial Brother, although Great Tang Chang’an is prosperous, it is indifferent and unfeeling. A vulnerable woman cries for help in the street, and yet no one steps in. Since no one is going to help, I will rescue her."

Just as the words fell, a change occurred below.

Two men in black uniforms swiftly charged forward, leaping over ten meters to land behind the girl, intercepting the monks from the temple.

The three Martial Monks immediately stopped, clasped their hands in a gesture of respect, and smiled, saying, "Baiyun Temple’s Tongxin (Tongming, Tongtong) greets the Inspector."

A young Inspector sternly rebuked them, shouting, "Daring to seize a civilian girl on the street, you are bold indeed."

Tongxin Monk raised an eyebrow, instinctively tightening his grip on his Precepts Stick, then smiled and said, "Inspector, that is a misunderstanding. As followers of Buddha Sect, we hold compassion for all and rescue the masses, how could we commit such an act of snatching a civilian girl? If Inspector lacks evidence, we may bring a lawsuit against you for defamation at the Court."

"Hmph~ There are people coming and going on this street, all serving as evidence. You still dare to quibble?"

Tongxin smiled and said, "Inspector, this young lady is a resident next to our Baiyun Temple. She had borrowed twenty thousand Copper Coin from our temple, and there is an IOU to prove it.

Now she wishes to evade repayment and flee. As a humble monk, I only wish to invite her back for clarification, and certainly did not snatch a civilian girl."

"You~" The young Inspector was furious.

The middle-aged Inspector immediately advised, "Xiao Shan, do not act impulsively."

He turned and looked at the crying girl by the side, asking warmly, "Is what he said true?"

Overwhelmed with sadness, the girl nodded while crying, and then immediately shook her head.

"Sir... Sir, please save me."

The middle-aged Inspector asked sternly, "Is there any hidden story? Just speak up, and the Inspection Bureau will stand up for you."

The girl sobbed and whispered, "My mother is seriously ill, and in desperation, I borrowed twenty thousand coins from the Baiyun Temple after a neighbor introduced it. But I have already repaid the money."

"How much have you repaid?"

The girl said sorrowfully, "Monks from the temple came to my house daily to collect debts, sitting in front of my door reading scriptures.

Having no other solution, I sold my family’s land, totaling twenty-five thousand coins, and repaid it all to Baiyun Temple."

Tongxin Monk shook his head with a smile and said, "It is insufficient. Our Buddha mercifully lent Dharma Money, imbued with the compassionate Buddhist Law of the Buddha to help you navigate through crises. To prevent future significant karma, you must repay double."

The young Inspector could no longer tolerate it and said angrily, "You lent her twenty thousand, and she has to repay forty thousand?"

Tongxin Monk smiled slightly, and said, "The Buddha is helping her, and if she does not offer money to express her gratitude, wouldn’t it displease the Buddha?

Moreover, it is no longer forty thousand, but you must repay fifty thousand. Nine out of thirteen principles, passed down by Buddha, mean that due to the prolonged borrowing period, she has to repay even more."

The young Inspector shouted in anger, "What kind of Buddha is this? Such a Buddha is better off..."

The middle-aged Inspector immediately interrupted and said, "Xiao Shan, cease your reckless words.

The Buddha is compassionate, as spoken by Your Majesty."

Tongxin Monk chuckled merrily, saying, "We have the IOU to prove it, even if taken to the Court, she can’t escape it. Junior brothers, seize her."

"Yes!"

Tongming and Tongtong shouted in unison, immediately stepping forward, each grabbing the girl’s arm, while glancing triumphantly at the two Inspectors, and pulling her away.

"No~"

"Help!"

"Please spare me!"

The girl sobbed, struggling desperately, but it was to no avail.

The young Inspector urgently called out, "Boss!"

The middle-aged Inspector swiftly swung his long knife, striking the arms of the two monks.

"Ah~" Tongming and Tongtong exclaimed, their arms instantly recoiling with two red marks on them.

The girl broke free, crying as she hid behind the middle-aged Inspector, like grabbing onto a life-saving straw.

Tongxin Monk’s expression stiffened, and he said in a somber tone, "Inspector, do you know what you are doing?"

"I suspect this girl is related to a case I am handling, and I need to take her for questioning. Do you object?" The middle-aged Inspector glanced at him, his eyes indifferent.

"Inspector, I suspect you are making things difficult for our Buddha Sect!" Tongxin Monk’s voice rose several notches.

"Obstructing me in taking a suspect, I suspect your Baiyun Temple is involved in the case I am handling. Should I investigate Baiyun Temple as well?" The middle-aged Inspector gazed sternly at Tongxin Monk.

Tongxin Monk’s face twitched, saying, "Inspector is handling the case, I dare not interfere, but Inspector, please verify if there is no evidence, and bring her to Baiyun Temple.

Oh, it cannot be tomorrow, because the Prime Minister’s wife will visit Baiyun Temple for incense and prayer for the Prime Minister."

The middle-aged Inspector’s expression changed slightly, nodding and said, "I understand."
