Chapter 168 Everyone Shaved Bald
After escaping outside the city, Chen Yiyou released Jiang Liuer and the other person.
After listening to Chen Yi recount what had happened, Jiang Liuer couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Sha Wujing looked worried: "Master, I'm afraid we won't be able to get this official document."
Sun Wukong, however, didn't take it to heart: "Let's rest for a while. Tomorrow morning I'll go and find out why the king wanted to kill the monk."
Jiang Liuer nodded slightly in agreement.
Sun Wukong then put them all into his spatial dimension, and they slept in the wooden house there for the night.
……
The next morning, Sun Wukong quietly slipped into the palace.
He used a spell to freeze all the ministers in place.
Then, he lifted the prime minister up to the city wall like a chick and suspended him in mid-air with his golden cudgel.
Sun Wukong threatened, "Speak quickly, why did the king order the execution of ten thousand monks? If you don't speak, I'll throw you down and kill you!"
The prime minister gripped the golden cudgel tightly, glanced tremblingly at the ground beneath him, and said in a trembling voice, "I'll talk! I'll talk! Don't throw me!"
"years ago……"
After listening to the Prime Minister's explanation, Sun Wukong finally understood the whole story.
It turns out that a few years ago, something astonishing happened.
The king once held Buddhism in high esteem and often invited monks to the palace to perform rituals.
However, some monks harbored wicked intentions and secretly had affairs with the concubines during their rituals.
When the king returned to the palace and saw his beloved concubine sharing a bed with a monk, he was furious and immediately ordered his men to beat the monk severely.
The king thought the matter was over, but he never expected that the monk would leave behind an illegitimate child.
The king was furious and immediately ordered the extermination of all monks in the world.
After Sun Wukong learned the whole story, he carried the Prime Minister back to the main hall.
He shaved the heads of all his ministers, and even the king's hair was not spared, leaving him bald.
Now, how can the king kill the monk?
……
The king was shocked to see his ministers with their heads shaved; his heart was filled with turmoil.
They also saw a note left by Sun Wukong, which said that they came from the Tang Dynasty and were messengers sent by Buddha.
He muttered to himself, "Could those three really not be demons, but messengers sent by Buddha?!"
"No! Impossible! They must be monsters..."
Not long after, the king posted a notice summoning envoys Sun Wukong and others to the palace.
Sun Wukong and his companions strode confidently into the main hall, only to be suddenly bound by the guards.
Because Sun Wukong returned and said that the king had been dealt with, the five of them entered the palace in their original forms.
Apart from Sun Wukong and Chen Yi, the other three are bald and clearly monks.
Unexpectedly, when the king saw that there were monks among them, he made a wild statement, vowing to torture them to death.
Chen Yi looked at Sun Wukong with a suspicious expression and asked doubtfully, "Great Sage, didn't you say that the king had already been dealt with?"
Sun Wukong smiled slightly, confidently saying, "Watch me."
With a gentle breath, the king's hat fell like a leaf, instantly revealing a gleaming bald head to everyone.
The king's flustered and embarrassed state of covering his head made the master and his disciples burst into laughter.
Pigsy laughed so hard he almost fell over: "Hahaha...King, are you going to chop yourself up too?"
Sha Wujing chimed in, "That's right, if you're bald, you'll behead us. Your Majesty, don't go back on your word!"
The ministers looked at the master and his disciples and dared not refute them, because they too had become bald.
Faced with the mockery of the master and his disciples, the king screamed and slipped into his tent, refusing to come out no matter what.
Chen Yi complained to Sun Wukong, "Why is the king hiding? Are we just going to be left here like this?"
Sun Wukong: "He might not be mentally sound."
Chen Yi deeply agreed, nodding repeatedly. "Da Sheng is absolutely right. What normal person would kill ten thousand monks if they were cuckolded by one? That's just insane!"
Jiang Liuer pursed her lips and resolutely walked towards the bed curtains.
Sha Wujing quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Master! Be careful!"
Pigsy didn't take it seriously: "There's only the king inside. If Master is in danger, he just needs to shout, and Senior Brother will definitely save him."
Jiang Liuer said firmly, "Wujing, I just have something I want to say to the king. There will be no danger."
Seeing Sun Wukong nod, Sha Wujing stepped aside to let Jiang Liuer go inside.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Liuer emerged from the tent.
Everyone was curious, wondering what Jiang Liuer and the king had talked about. After the king came out, he seemed like a completely different person, treating Jiang Liuer with utmost respect.
Subsequently, the king not only replaced Jiang Liuer's travel documents, but also personally led the officials to escort the master and his disciples out of the city.
And in front of everyone, he changed the name of the "Extinction France" to the "Praise France".
The king asked Jiang Liuer with a devout expression, "Is everything in this world destined to die? Am I also destined to perish?"
Jiang Liuer put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist prayer: "Amitabha, everyone must die eventually, and neither His Majesty nor I can escape it."
The king seemed to be deep in thought: "Amitabha..."
Looking at the king's disillusioned and Buddhist-minded appearance, Chen Yi thought: ...This king must have been brainwashed by Jiang Liuer yesterday!
Sun Wukong: ...That's right! I recited a bunch of scriptures to the king that he couldn't understand at all! It was like I didn't say anything at all!
