Primordial World: Big shots are all my friends-Chapter 954 - 871: Tang Sanzang Rescues Someone

Above the restaurant, the Queen of Women Country said with deep disappointment, "I thought all Buddhism followers were Great Monks like Brother Imperial Brother, but their actions really disappoint me."

Chen Daya nodded repeatedly, agreeing, "I’m also disappointed, they’re just like Jin Chanzi."

Tang San crossed his hands in prayer and recited, "Amitabha Buddha~"

"Brother Imperial Brother, I must act to save her; otherwise, her fate will be very miserable," said the Queen of Women Country, looking at Tang Sanzang.

Tang Sanzang said seriously, "How can a woman involve herself in fighting? Let me do it."

"Stop~" A loud voice echoed on the street.

All the onlookers on the street turned their heads to look. Tang Sanzang’s family had silently appeared on the street, walking righteously inside, with people making way for them as they passed.

The middle-aged inspector frowned deeply, draped in a kasaya; he could either be an elder or an abbot. Such people represented trouble for the Inspection Bureau because Buddhism held high status. The elders had connections with high society, and the Inspection Bureau did not want to easily offend them. In today’s social circles, offending too many influential people would add many difficulties to work.

The three Tongxin monks’ eyes lit up, noticing the Queen of Women Country and Chen Daya beside Tang Sanzang. They pondered secretly which temple elder had the audacity to openly take such a beautiful female disciple onto the street; such fearlessness of gossip surely belonged to a Great Monk!

The three Tongxin monks immediately placed their hands in prayer and respectfully said, "Greetings, Elder!"

Hiding behind the middle-aged inspector, the woman quietly glanced at Tang Sanzang, immediately shrank back, tears in her eyes; another monk.

"Even bringing two females, this monk has no shame."

"You don’t understand, this is called a female disciple, saving them from a sea of suffering."

"This elder is so young, I wonder from which temple he is."

Voices of discussion rose around them, pointing at Tang Sanzang’s family.

Tongxin Monk hurriedly said, "Elder, this woman borrowed Yinzi money from the temple and didn’t repay it on time. The inspection team even shelters this debt-ridden woman, using authority to oppress us. Please let the Elder take charge!"

The other two monks also hurriedly and respectfully said, "Please let the Elder take charge!"

"Hmph~" The Queen of Women Country snorted coldly, speaking with dissatisfaction, "Turning black into white, insulting Buddhist Law, such actions shame Brother Imperial Brother. They truly deserve to be pierced by a myriad of arrows."

Tongxin Monk suddenly raised his head, surprised mixed with seriousness.

Tang Sanzang said calmly, "I will repay this debt for him."

Tongxin Monk immediately stood, his tone carrying implicit dissatisfaction, "Elder, this matter is for the temple elders to decide, we cannot agree."

"Buddhist Law is meant to save the world, not to be an excuse for hoarding wealth, nor a means of oppressing the people.

Take me to Baiyun Temple! I wish to see the elders of your temple."

"Oh~" Tongxin Monk laughed coldly and said, "You don’t even know Baiyun Temple, you must be a fake monk, right? Who issued your Buddha Butterfly? Who administered your vows?"

"No longer living." Tang Sanzang shook his head slightly.

"You can’t say, you must be a fake monk. Two junior brothers, seize him."

Tongming rushed at Tang Sanzang, grinning hideously, planning to gift the two female donors to the abbot as new female disciples. The abbot would surely be pleased.

Tang Sanzang flicked his wrist, and a burst of Buddha Light emerged, banging~ The two Martial Monks immediately flew backward, crashing to the ground with clattering sounds, clutching their chests and crying out in pain.

Woah～ Surrounding people scattered instantly, cultivators, these are cultivators.

The two inspectors also became solemn immediately, gazing at Tang Sanzang seriously, yet without fear. Any cultivators daring to act recklessly in Chang’an would not escape the Hundred Schools’ pursuit.

Tongxin Monk was scared into retreating a step, unable to resist shouting, "Who...who exactly are you? My Buddha Sect is vast and also has the Angry-eyed Vajra Power."

Tang San looked at the raggedly dressed little girl, smilingly asking, "Would you like to come with me to Baiyun Temple? I, as the humble monk, will sort out your debt."

The girl gazed at Tang Sanzang’s visage; this handsome monk must surely be a good person, right?! The close halo Tang Sanzang carried after achieving Buddhahood immediately convinced the girl he could be trusted, instinctively nodding.

Tang Sanzang looked at Tongxin Monk and said, "Trouble yourself to lead us to Baiyun Temple!"

Tongxin Monk gritted his teeth and said, "Well, since you’re seeking death on your own, follow me."

The middle-aged inspector promptly whispered seriously, "Xiao Shan, rush back to notify the captain that Baiyun Temple might erupt in a cultivator’s battle."

The young inspector instinctively asked, "Chief, what about you?"

The middle-aged inspector brandished his long knife, saying, "I naturally want to go with them. Even cultivators must abide by our Great Tang laws."

Tongxin Monk helped Tongming up, glaring coldly at Tang Sanzang, before immediately walking toward the outside.

Tang Sanzang and his family of three, the middle-aged inspector took the girl along behind them.

Chen Daya looked at the fearful girl and comforted her, "Don’t be afraid, my father is very capable, he will surely rescue you."

The girl nodded repeatedly, following closely behind the middle-aged inspector.

Many onlookers kept a distance, eager to see the excitement, yet fearing the impact of a cultivator battle.

On the way, Tang Sanzang approached the inspector, clasping his hands in prayer, "Namo Amitabha Buddha, greetings to the inspector."

The middle-aged inspector also clasped his hands in prayer and said, "Greetings, Elder."

"The humble monk has some questions."

"Please speak, Elder!"

"Are such things common?"

"What matter does the Elder refer to?"

"Temple lending at high interest, oppressing the people."

"Haha~ Elder might not be a citizen of Great Tang?"

"The humble monk has always been a citizen of Great Tang."

"That is indeed strange. An Elder of Great Tang Monk should be clearer on this matter than I am."

"I, the humble monk, had been closed off in seclusion, asking little of worldly affairs, only coming out recently."

The middle-aged inspector nodded in agreement, saying, "This explains it."

He sighed and said, "Monks like the Elder, who have been secluded in contemplation, are becoming rare now. Five hundred years ago, our Great Tang Saint Monk obtained True Scriptures from the Western Regions of Tianzhu, and Buddhism was then declared a Holy Sect by Emperor Taizong, standing equal with the National Religion.

Great Tang Saint Monk Xuanzhuang was also conferred the title of National Saint Monk, a Divine Temple was erected for worship, and the status of Buddhism skyrocketed.

The next two generations of majesty also bestowed many titles, and now, five hundred years have passed, Buddhism has become the faith of the nation’s people, from civil and military officials to the common folk, the followers number in millions and millions."

Tang Sanzang murmured softly, "Your Majesty!" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Recalling the scene where His Majesty ordered him to obtain the scriptures from Western Heaven, it still felt like yesterday for him, yet for Great Tang, it had been two generations ago.
