Chapter 482: Chapter 352: Tang Xuanzang’s Defection Shocks the Three Realms! _2
Afterward.
He looked at Monkey King beside him and said in a solemn voice: “Wukong, I plan to start the land reform, beginning with the peasant class!”
Upon hearing this,
Sun Wukong, who was leisurely eating a peach, couldn’t help but pause, and then uncertainly asked:
“Master, I didn’t hear wrong, did I? You plan to carry out the land distribution in this primitive place?”
To Sun Wukong, after witnessing the situation in the Black Wind Country, the so-called Peacock Dynasty seemed like a primitive place.
Even more so,
Wukong felt that the people living in the Peacock Dynasty were probably not even as fortunate as the residents of his Flower and Fruit Mountain.
At least his monkeys would only eat peaches and not those silly deer. At most, they might play with the deer when they were bored, but they would never take their lives.
“We must give it a try!”
Tang Xuanzang’s eyes were filled with determination.
How could he not know the situation of the Peacock Dynasty? But as a monk, he should be compassionate. This was not just some empty words, but something that should be truly carried out.
“Alright!”
Sun Wukong nodded. He did not continue to advise his master, just simply responded with a single word of agreement.
In this way,
A grand land redistribution in the Peacock Dynasty was carried out by Tang Xuanzang, the State Preceptor.
At first,
No one believed it. They thought Tang Xuanzang, the State Preceptor, had gone mad. Neither the Peacock King nor the common people believed it.
But gradually, when Tang Xuanzang successfully rescued a village and distributed the land of the high castes to the low caste common people,
It created a stir.
Everyone was boiling with excitement. It was only at this moment that they realized that the State Preceptor of the Peacock Kingdom was serious.
More and more low caste people were fired up and followed Tang Xuanzang. They did not want to be treated as animals any longer; they wanted to be treated as human beings.
Since there was no hope before, they couldn’t let go of this rare opportunity presented by the State Preceptor, who had descended from Ling Mountain.
In this manner,
More and more common people followed Tang Xuanzang. Watching the high caste nobles who used to be arrogant become like ants in front of the State Preceptor, especially in front of his disciples, their hearts filled with excitement.
“Kill the tyrants, seize the land, and never be slaves again!” The lowest Yaksha caste picked up their hoes and rakes to join the movement.
They followed their State Preceptor in this massive change.
However,
This group of common people, who had finally gathered together, was no match for the monk soldiers of the Peacock Dynasty.
How could these common people carrying regular farm tools compete with the invulnerable monk soldiers?
The people suffered heavy casualties and ran to Tang Xuanzang for help.
“State Preceptor Xuanzang, what should we do? The monk soldiers are invulnerable, and we, the lowest Yakshas, have only hoes and sickles in our hands…”
“Yes, State Preceptor, please think of a solution!”
“State Preceptor, I don’t want to die, what should we do, what should we do….”
Faced with these questions from the people,
Tang Xuanzang felt at a loss.
He didn’t expect that the high caste landlords would have invulnerable demon monks to help them.
“Wukong, you…”
At his side,
Before his master could finish speaking, Sun Wukong shook his head, saying,
“I am a cultivator, I cannot take action against ordinary mortals.”
“Give it up. Although you are a monk from Ling Mountain, the Peacock King cannot openly take action against you. However, he can take action against these common people.”
“Clearly, these invulnerable monk soldiers are the support given to the landlords by the Peacock King. The purpose is to suppress your influence, Master.”
Tang Xuanzang closed his eyes in pain, and just as he was about to say something, he heard his disciple Sun Wukong persuade him.
“Master, in my opinion, this Peacock Dynasty is rotten to the core. Even if you change it for a moment, you cannot change it for a lifetime!”
“When the time comes, we four can leave, but these common people will have to face the repercussions. It is they who will suffer.”
Wukong pointed at the frightened and confused common people.
Seeing this,
Tang Xuanzang was taken aback.
He stared blankly at the bewildered and helpless common people, as if a string in his heart had snapped or as if he had suddenly realized something.
Yes.
If he continues like this, he, the so-called State Preceptor, won’t have any problems, but the common people will be doomed, and there probably won’t be any hope for survival.
Unexplainably.
A memory surged up in Tang Xuanzang’s mind.
At that time, he was listening to Instructor Dao Xuan’s thought class. There was a sentence that didn’t mean much when he heard it initially, but now, thinking back, it made him feel extremely sad.
Instructor Dao Xuan had said, “Where truth lies, that’s where your sword should point!”
He’s like this now, even though his mind is occupied with thousands of thoughts and he has a compassionate heart, but there is no power in his hands.
In the end… only innocent people would be sacrificed and their blood would flow in vain!
“Wukong…”
“Huh?”
“Let’s… go!”
“Alright!”
Monkey King didn’t ask his master where they were going because they had already discussed it before leaving Black Wind Country.
Once they went to Ling Mountain for Fetching the Scriptures, when they found that Mahayana Buddhism couldn’t save the world, that would be the time for them to return to Black Wind Country.
Outside.
Zhu Bajie lay on a recliner, swaying slightly, his huge fan-like ears drooping over his head to block the sun.
A gentle breeze passed by.
“Humph- it’s Junior Brother Sha, are you done with your work?” Zhu Bajie didn’t open his eyes or move the ear that covered his head, he just snorted gruffly.
“Yes-”
Monk Sha, holding a bundle of fine grass, cheerfully said, “You know, Senior Brother, Bai Longma got accustomed to me feeding him, and those servants in the mansion couldn’t take care of him.”
It’s worth mentioning.
Bai Longma, although he belonged to the Dragon Clan, was sealed by Guanyin’s magic, he still had some defenses, but he had lost his divine powers and had to eat grass for a living as an ordinary horse!
“Where’s Master? Did he go out to preach to the people again?” Monk Sha casually asked as he sorted the grass in his hand.
“I don’t know, he’s been muttering in the room with Monkey Bro all morning, they’re being so secretive, I don’t know what they’re planning!”
As he said this, Zhu Bajie suddenly let out a cry.
“Ouch-”
It turned out that this idiot had rolled off the recliner and landed face down in the dirt, completely caught off guard.
The two were still unaware.
Their master, Tang Xuanzang, was secretly discussing with Monkey King on how to escape from the Peacock Dynasty and return to Black Wind Mountain.
Two days later.
Monk Sha, as always, prepared to feed Bai Longma but was suddenly stopped by Monkey King.
“Come back, Junior Brother Sha!” Monkey King waved his hand.
“What’s up, Monkey Bro?”
“I’ve spoken with Master, and in a while… you don’t need to worry about us.” Wukong’s eyes sparkled, and he commanded in a low voice, “Explain to the idiot Pig Eight after everything, I guess that Tathagata won’t make things difficult for you.”
Hearing these words.
Turbulent waves arose in Monk Sha’s heart.
“Senior Brother, are you guys crazy? This Journey to the West is…”
“Heh~”
Monkey King sneered coldly, indifferent, “I don’t care about it. If Master wants to go back to Black Wind Country, I’ll take him there!”
He knew that once they did this, perhaps everyone on Ling Mountain wouldn’t let Monkey King and Tang Xuanzang go.
After all, the Journey to the West was coming to an end, and the other side wouldn’t allow the duck that they’re already holding to simply fly away.
“This… okay.”
Monk Sha hesitated slightly, looked deeply at Monkey King with a complicated expression, then went on to feed Bai Longma as if he knew nothing.
Over here.
Real World.
Xuanqing, who was practicing on Jupiter, was completely unaware… that in the Game World, an earth-shattering event was about to take place..
