Chapter 904 You monster, get off the clouds!
Hearing Chen Guangrui's natural words, not to mention Hongjiang Dragon King, even Nie Changchuan couldn't help but look weird.
His cheap parents... seem to be a bit interesting!
Nie Changchuan chuckled, grabbed Chen Guangrui's arm and said, "Father, when my mother gave birth to me..."
In front of Chen Guangrui, Nie Changchuan recounted his experiences in this life again.
After listening, Chen Guangrui had a complicated look on his face, sighed softly, raised his hand and patted Nie Changchuan's shoulder... He was too short to take a photo, so Chen Guangrui could only do the next best thing and pat Nie Changchuan's arm.
"Thanks a lot……"
Nie Changchuan shook his head: "I don't care, it's just my mother's side. You have to make up for it in the future."
Chen Guangrui's body trembled and he sighed: "That's natural, I owe Wen Jiao a lot!"
Nie Changchuan raised his hand and patted his shoulder, saying: "Without further delay, father, please come back to life as soon as possible. Mother has sent someone to Chang'an to report the incident in Jiangzhou. I believe it won't be long before a reply comes!"
After saying that, Nie Changchuan turned to look at the Dragon King of Hongjiang, clasped his hands and said: "Amitabha, the kindness of the Dragon King, this poor monk should remember that if there is any difficulty in the Hongjiang Water Palace in the future, you can go to Jinshan Temple to seek my help!"
Chen Guangrui was slightly stunned and said quickly: "Wait a minute, after this incident, don't you plan to return to secular life?"
Nie Changchuan shook his head: "Jinshan Temple has given me life-saving grace and nurturing grace."
"My child always knows how to repay kindness, so how can he just walk away?"
Chen Guangrui had a complicated look on his face and sighed: "That's the truth, whatever, then you can stay in Jinshan Temple for the time being..."
Seeing this scene, although Hongjiang Dragon King still had doubts, Chen Guangrui had no choice but to accept it.
The father and son talked happily, and the atmosphere was harmonious. The Dragon King of Hongjiang could not say any more unpleasant words, so he could only order people to carry out the crystal coffin containing Chen Guangrui's body.
Chen Guangrui stepped into it, finally resurrected and returned to the world of the world.
The father and son thanked the Dragon King of Hongjiang, then left the Dragon Palace and flew to Jiangzhou.
By the time they returned to the Prefect's Mansion, it was already noon the next day, and Liu Hong and his gang of thieves had all been taken to prison, waiting to be punished.
The corpses in the prefect's mansion were also cleaned up, leaving only some blood stains that were difficult to wash away, and the faint smell of blood still remained.
Since the prefect is dead, the ones giving orders right now are the soldier surnamed Wang who has accepted the decree of 'Subduing the Dragon Arhat', and the well-known daughter of Prime Minister Yin, the prefect's wife Yin Wenjiao.
Nie Changchuan brought Chen Guangrui to the mansion and met Yin Wenjiao. It was another touching scene of the couple's reunion.
In the next half month, Nie Changchuan stayed in Jiangzhou City, reunited with his parents, and really enjoyed the family warmth that should be expected at this age.
It wasn't until half a month later that someone from Chang'an, Nie Changchuan's cheap grandfather Yin Kaishan, personally led a large group of people to Jiangzhou City.
He first met with Nie Changchuan's family of three, told each other about their family affection, comforted the crying daughter Yin Wenjiao, and then recognized Nie Changchuan's grandson under the recommendation of the couple. Then he rushed to the government office and sat in Jiangzhou in person to provide for his daughter. Revenge with your virtuous son-in-law.
It has to be said that Yin Kaishan is indeed a famous general of the Tang Dynasty and one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.
Although he is old, his prestige and skills are far beyond what Chen Guangrui and his wife can match.
As soon as he appeared, he took out the imperial edict and took away the supreme power of the entire Jiangzhou.
Later, while he ordered people to torture the water bandits Liu Hong and others, he also dispatched Jiangzhou's fellow magistrates, Jiangzhou soldiers and the Prime Minister's personal guards, a total of three armies, advancing by land and water, to jointly encircle and suppress the water bandits hiding in the Hongjiang River.
Those water bandits were originally brave people, and with Liu Hong as their backer in the government over the years, they lived a comfortable life and gradually lost their former ferocity and vigilance.
Under such circumstances, they naturally cannot be opponents of the famous Tang Dynasty general Yin Kaishan.
In just three days, the Hongjiang water bandits were suppressed by Yin Kaishan and all were captured.
The leader of the water bandits was named Li Biao, and he was the culprit who killed Chen Guangrui together with Liu Hong.
Under the ruthless tactics of a scribe brought by Yin Kaishan, Li Biao and Liu Hong quickly collapsed and confessed the facts of the year.
After Yin Kaishan read the confession, he immediately became furious and ordered people to nail Li Biao and Liu Hong to wooden donkeys and parade them through the streets. Then they were pushed to the city council and executed in full view of the public.
In order to vent his anger to the greatest extent, Yin Kaishan brought a master from Chang'an.
In his hands, the two thieves Li Biao and Liu Hong were chopped into pieces a thousand times before they were finally freed.
Seeing this scene, everyone in Jiangzhou, including officials and people, trembled.
Nie Changchuan sighed in his heart, this high official of the imperial court really knew what revenge was better than him.
Compared with Yin Kaishan's methods, Nie Changchuan's previous so-called "massacre" was really compassionate!
At the same time, while Yin Kaishan was busy dealing with the bandits, Nie Changchuan's family of three were not idle either.
When Chen Guangrui went to Jiangzhou to take office, he promised to take over his mother to enjoy the blessings after establishing a firm foothold.
Who would have thought that he would suddenly encounter such a disaster? Yin Wenjiao cared about her mother-in-law's life and feared that she would be killed by Liu Hong, so she concealed the matter and left her unsuspecting mother-in-law in her hometown.
Now that Chen Guangrui has been redressed and resurrected, he naturally wants to bring his mother as soon as possible.
However, considering the schedule problem, Yin Kaishan suggested that his son-in-law take his in-laws to Chang'an. After he dealt with the two thieves Li and Liu, he would take Chen Guangrui and his family to Chang'an to return to the Holy Lord.
The governor of Jiangzhou is, after all, the head of a state, and matters of great importance.
Yin Kaishan is the Prime Minister of the current dynasty and has an imperial decree, so this matter is also concerned by His Majesty.
In addition, Chen Guangrui had been pretending to be dead for thirteen years. His Majesty was worried that his political performance was insufficient and he would not be able to control Jiangzhou. Therefore, in addition to questioning, he also wanted to test Chen Guangrui's talents.
In this regard, Chen Guangrui was very confident.
He said that he had definitely not wasted his time in the Hongjiang Dragon Palace during the past thirteen years, taking charge of all the affairs of the Shui Palace.
Yin Kaishan was surprised when he heard this and talked with him in detail all night, curiously asking many questions about the Hongjiang Dragon Palace.
After dealing with the two thieves Li and Liu, the group finally boarded the official ship and headed for Chang'an.
When they arrived in Chang'an, Chen Guangrui's mother was already waiting at the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After thirteen years, the family was finally reunited and couldn't help but hold each other's hands and cry.
That night, Yin Kaishan hosted a banquet in the Prime Minister's Mansion, named 'Reunion Banquet'.
In the morning of the next day, King Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty came to the palace, and Yin Kaishan went out to report all the big and small matters. He also mentioned the matter of the Dragon Palace and the Water Mansion, and recommended his son-in-law Chen Guangrui to be a talented person who could be reused.
After passing the examination, the king of Tang Dynasty happily accepted the test and promoted him to the rank of bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, where he followed the government.
As for Nie Changchuan, as early as the night of the reunion banquet, he said goodbye to his parents, left quietly, and flew back to Jinshan Temple.
Arriving in front of his mentor, Elder Faming, Nie Changchuan knelt down and kowtowed, dictating the murders he had committed during this period.
Monk Faming sighed, waved his hand, and ordered Nie Changchuan to go to the back mountain and face the wall for ten years.
Since then, Nie Changchuan stayed at Jinshan Temple and practiced day and night.
During this period, Chen Guangrui and Yin Wenjiao came from time to time, ostensibly to worship the Buddha, but in fact to reunite with Nie Changchuan's family.
At the same time, Nie Changchuan also quietly revealed some secrets to the two of them, which helped them gain a firm foothold in the court and survive the subsequent Xuanwumen Incident with their grandfather and others.
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, the chariot of the Tang Dynasty officially began to advance rapidly.
Nie Changchuan's heart became tense. He knew that he was getting closer and closer to his destiny of traveling west to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
But he was not very willing to go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, so he devoted all his energy to practice, hoping to gain the power to control his own destiny.
However, practicing this kind of thing cannot be smooth sailing just by working behind closed doors.
Soon, Nie Changchuan's practice finally encountered its first bottleneck.
At this time, his ten years of facing the wall had passed, so he bid farewell to the abbot and monk Faming, officially left the mountain, and walked around the world in the name of Jinshan Temple.
In this process, Nie Changchuan was able to succumb to demons and eliminate violence when encountering them. Whenever there was injustice, he would definitely help him, even if the other party was a city god, a god, a god, or a Buddha.
Because of this, the people who were grateful for their kindness gave him a name, the Great Merciful, Great Compassionate, Great Mighty, Great Virtue Master Xuanzang.
At the same time, because Nie Changchuan often dealt with demons, immortals, and Buddhas, many powerful people became aware of such a number one figure.
But what they didn't expect was that Buddhism, which was supposed to react the most violently, was extremely silent on this matter and didn't say a word.
It's not that they don't want to speak out, but that since decades ago, a group of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Buddhism, including Arhat Vajra, have been locked up in Lingshan by some powerful force and cannot come out.
It wasn't until the thirteenth year of Zhenguan that the power that shrouded Lingshan finally disappeared completely.
The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were overjoyed and hurriedly went their separate ways to inquire about the important news in the Three Realms over the years. At the same time, they worked hard to fill the vacancies in the past few decades to better cope with the upcoming catastrophe of Journey to the West.
At this moment, they were shocked to find that Chen Xuanzang, the person they had originally scheduled to take the scriptures, had grown up to look like this...
Somewhere in the Tang Dynasty, Guanyin Bodhisattva sat on a lotus platform, hidden in the clouds, looking at the scene below with twitching lips.
I saw a bald monk who was nine feet six inches tall, with hunched muscles and a strong temperament. He was holding a heavy tin staff and standing on the bank of a fast-flowing river.
He clasped his hands together and recited "Amitabha" solemnly, then jumped up and waved his Zen staff.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and rich golden light bloomed from the Zen staff.
The surging river exploded instantly, and the rolling river water surged up, setting off a ring-shaped water curtain, revealing a fish-scale monster wearing armor at the bottom of the river with a frightened expression.
Seeing the monk fall into the whirlpool, the monster that looked like a fish monster screamed, turned around and ran away with fear on his face.
The monk suddenly fell to the bottom of the river. With a wave of his Zen staff, he pulled the water and crushed a large number of little demons into minced meat.
Then, he inserted the Zen staff into the river bed, and golden light suddenly appeared, forming a water-proof shield to prevent the river water from rolling back.
As for himself, at the moment when the golden light burst out, he kicked off the river bed, rushed behind the monster, pressed the back of the fish monster's head with his big hand, pushed it into the river bed, and asked loudly Does it want to be steamed or braised?
Seeing this scene, Guanyin Bodhisattva above the clouds held the jade purification bottle tightly with her slender hands, and the veins on the back of her hands were exposed.
...Who is secretly plotting against my Buddhist sect? !
At this moment, the bald monk at the bottom of the river seemed to notice her sight. He suddenly turned his head, looked at the clouds, and shouted sternly: "Who dares to spy in the dark? He must have evil intentions. Don't hurry up." Get off the clouds!"
Before he finished speaking, the monk waved his hand, and a golden dragon flew out from behind him and flew into the sky with its teeth and claws.
