Journey to the West: Break the entire Western Heaven!-Chapter 278 - 178: Wealthy

Hearing these words, the marquis was stunned.

Then he came to his senses and exclaimed, "So it is true, indeed such a thing happened. At that time, my brother-in-law was embezzling and perverting the law, so I beheaded him to show the public, and my wife, who did not understand propriety, came to make a scene with me.

In my frustration and confusion, I knocked over the offering table...

But the fault lies with me, not with the common people.

Please, if the heavens must punish someone, let it be me, and end this drought."

Hearing this, Sun Wukong looked up and said, "Everyone, you all heard him.

Ask yourselves, is such a man a bad person?

He may have done wrong, but is he truly unforgivable?"

The gods were silent...

Just then, Taibai Jinxing hurried over, shouting, "An imperial edict has arrived!"

All gods knelt down!

The marquis and the common people also knelt down in worship.

Zhu Ganglie, Sha Wujing, and others also subconsciously thought to kneel, but seeing Tang Sanzang sitting there unperturbed, they did not kneel after all.

Taibai Jinxing glanced at them but ignored it, waved his hand grandly, and the imperial edict flew out of his hand, unfolding in the air, turning into a scroll thousands of miles long, covering the sky!

On it was written in large characters, "I, the Emperor, was wrong, too petty and narrow-minded. As the fish now descend, I shall be punished, the past sufferings of Fengxian County shall be compensated for in the future!"

Seeing these large characters, the gods were astonished.

The commoners were first shocked and then burst into cheers, with tears streaming down their faces, they shouted in unison, "The Jade Emperor is wise, the Jade Emperor is wise!"

Seeing this scene, Sun Wukong wiped his nose and said, "This Jade Emperor... seems to be quite alright, huh?"

The Six-Eared Macaque said, "I think he really is decent."

Zhu Ganglie said, "Admitting one’s mistakes and changing... Impressive."

The White Dragon Horse cocked its head and muttered, "Somehow feels a bit off."

Sha Wujing just chuckled and said nothing.

Only Tang Sanzang quietly unclenched his fist and yawned, "Is it time for rain now?"

Boom!

A clap of thunder!

Dark clouds rolled over the sky, with chariots of thunder roaring and flashes of lightning. Amidst the howling winds, a deluge poured down!

The doors of thousands of households opened wide as countless people rushed to the streets, cheering loudly...

Just then, someone saw a deity emerging from the ground, stomping his foot, and from the earth, a gushing spring bubbled up, turning into rivers that flowed swiftly away!

From the sky, fairy maidens descended, scattering dewdrops, and in an instant, parched seedlings were hydrated, and withered trees revived.

More shockingly, in the once-barren fields where nothing grew, grains sprouted and quickly matured...

In people’s courtyards, fruit trees broke through the ground, spread their branches and dropped their blossoms, and fruit appeared, infusing the air with fragrance for miles around!

After a day, the rain had reached three feet and forty-two points, and gradually the deities began to withdraw.

Then the gods, in the midst of the people’s cheers, smiled and turned to leave.

Everything now settled, the marquis ran to Tang Sanzang, bowing deeply and said, "Thank you, holy monk, for saving the people of Fengxian County!"

Tang Sanzang, yawning, said, "Alright, alright, let’s not talk about that. Let’s discuss something important. You said earlier that if I made it rain, you’d pay me, right?"

Upon hearing this, the marquis immediately ordered someone to bring a thousand taels of gold.

It wasn’t long before someone delivered a thousand taels of gold.

The Marquis personally took it and presented it to Tang Sanzang, "Holy monk, please accept this humble gift from me."

Tang Sanzang, having no concept of worldly money, looked at the large plate of gold with eyes shining and asked, "With this money, we could buy a brothel, right?"

Upon hearing this, the Marquis froze on the spot...

Sun Wukong and the others collectively started rubbing their temples, thinking to themselves, "All that posturing, gone in an instant..."

To prevent Tang Sanzang from embarrassing himself further, Sun Wukong hurried over and said, "Master, it’s definitely enough. Let’s go and find a place to buy that brothel.

Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang immediately smiled brightly, "That’s right, Little White, let’s go!"

The White Horse broke into a gallop...

After Tang Sanzang and his group had traveled a distance, the Marquis of Fengxian County came to his senses, then forcefully slapped his own face, saying, "They saved the entire Fengxian County, what does it matter if he’s a monk, a Taoist, or whatever? He’s our benefactor!"

With this thought, the Marquis knelt down and kowtowed, exclaiming, "Holy monk, we have no way to repay you, we can only erect a statue of you and offer incense day and night!"

The citizens of Fengxian County followed suit shouting in unison...

Before long, Fengxian County really erected a forty-nine-meter-tall statue of Tang Sanzang, and the family motto for all citizens became, "Meals can be skipped, but the incense offering must not stop..." Experience tales at novelbuddy

But this is all to come later.

At this moment, Tang Sanzang couldn’t have cared less about any statue, he just wanted to find a place to buy a brothel and have some fun.

After running non-stop for what seemed like an indefinite distance, three days later, they saw a big city in front of them.

The city gates were in sight, with a few large characters written on them: Yuhua City!

In that instant, not only did Tang Sanzang’s head light up, but his eyes sparkled too, and he spurred his horse into a frenzied gallop.

At that moment, at the entrance to Yuhua City, two soldiers were dozing off when they suddenly heard the sound of hooves from a horse galloping wildly.

The two immediately became more alert, looked up, and saw a monk with a shining bald head and gleaming eyes, riding a white horse, charging their way.

The soldiers quickly crossed their weapons, not even having the chance to ask questions...

The White Horse came to a sudden stop in front of them, and before their eyes, a blur occurred. The bald monk grabbed one of them by the collar and slammed him against the city wall.

The other soldier was too startled to cry out about an enemy attack or anything...

Then the monk, brimming with excitement, asked, "Is there a brothel in the city?"

In that instant, the two soldiers were dumbfounded, a monk inquiring about a brothel?

This... What the hell...

Has the world changed?

But seeing the ferocious look in the monk’s eyes, the soldier still subconsciously shook his head, saying, "Yuhua City is a great city of Buddhism, we do not allow places like brothels that oppress women to exist."

The soldier almost saw the monk’s eyes go from bright to dim, and then, with a look of disappointment, the monk let him go, jumped back onto the White Horse, and with a look of disgust, said, "Such a large city, and not a single brothel? Negative review! Let’s go, we’ll find another place!"

Then he rode the White Horse away...

He arrived quickly, and left even faster.

The two soldiers looked at each other and said in unison, "Did I just have a dream, a monk wanting to visit a brothel..."

…

Atop the city gate tower, a burly figure watched the retreating bald monk on the White Horse and breathed a sigh of relief: "Phew... good that he’s gone, good that he’s gone..."

Then he turned and hurried back to report the news.

"Ancestor, the fake Tang Sanzang you mentioned has left," the burly man reported upon returning to the cave.

From inside the cave came a voice, "Good that he’s gone, good that he’s gone..."
