Chapter 1024: Setting off Again

The seventeenth year of Zhenguan.

The fourth year since Tang Sanzang left Chang'an was also the fourth year since Wang Ming's expedition to the west.

Under the manipulation of Sun Wukong's set of deceptive tactics, the Golden Horn and Silver Horn sent by Taishang Laojun were easily dealt with by Sun Wukong due to their serious lack of social and practical experience.

Then Tang Seng and his four companions set off again.

At the turn of summer and autumn, when passing by Baolin Temple, Tang Seng stayed there for the night and suffered bullying, but Sun Wukong suppressed the situation with force, which earned Tang Seng enough respect in Baolin Temple.

After a night's rest, Tang Sanzang set off for the Kingdom of Wuji.

He wanted the King of Wuji Kingdom to issue a document of clearance.

When Tang Sanzang was resting in Baolin Temple, he was attacked by a ghost who claimed to be the king of Wuji Kingdom. The ghost asked Tang Sanzang to save his life and help him take back his country.

·············
On the original site of Baoxiang Kingdom,
Inside the exquisite and luxurious tent, a map was spread out on the table in front of Wang Ming.

The map shows the topography of various countries.

Below Wang Ming, on his left and right sides stood many ministers.

"Your Majesty, the railway track was successfully connected to the Liusha River half a month ago."

A soldier covered in black armor reported.

Wang Ming nodded and said, "Well done. Order the rear to transport the supplies. At the same time, send a message to the three armies to prepare to march. The army will march westward in three days."

Then everyone in the tent quickly left the tent, leaving Wang Ming alone.

The opening of the railway means that the resources of the Eastern Tang Dynasty can be quickly handed over to Wang Ming, and the army can also be deployed here.

The reason why the army chose this time to set out is because it is winter, which is the best time for the army to fight.

For soldiers of this era, extreme heat was far more terrifying than severe cold.

The soldiers had to wear three layers of armor inside and outside and march long distances. In hot weather, they would suffer from heatstroke before the battle even started.

At the same time, people in ancient times were also waiting for the autumn harvest.

Only after the autumn harvest did the country have food for war, and the empire had things to plunder.

Black Chicken Country!
This is the second country that Wang Ming will conquer.

Even if Kuimulang did not harm the Xuanjia Army, Wang Ming would not send troops until Sun Wukong passed by.

Because before Sun Wukong and his companions went there, the king of the Black Chicken Kingdom was the Green Lion Demon who was pretending to be the king.

Even though the Green Lion Demon looks so embarrassed because of Sun Wukong, he is very powerful.

Moreover, the abilities of the Green Lion Demon are extremely powerful.

This strength does not refer to his fighting ability, but to his management ability.

The original king of the Black Chicken Kingdom was actually very incompetent, but after the Black Chicken Kingdom fell into the hands of the Green Lion Demon, the country became even more powerful and prosperous.

It is also speculated that
The king of the Black Chicken Kingdom was originally a wandering monk who had been eating for free at the Baolin Temple for six or seven years.

After being driven out of Baolin Temple, he defeated the original king of this place, became the new king, and changed the country's name to Wuji Kingdom.

That's why Manjushri Bodhisattva transformed himself into an ordinary monk and asked the King of Wuji Kingdom to go to the Western Paradise to make him a golden-bodied arhat. However, the King of Wuji Kingdom tied him up and then soaked him in the river for three days and three nights.

This can be said to be Manjushri Bodhisattva's act of revenge.

Because the Green Lion Demon was castrated, he governed the country diligently and wholeheartedly during the three years he served as king, and the country became prosperous and powerful.

At the same time, the Green Lion Demon did not clearly say who he had harmed.

Another theory is that after being castrated, the Green Lion Demon became somewhat abnormal and had special feelings for the King of the Black Chicken Kingdom.

Manjusri Bodhisattva wanted to kill the King of Black Chicken for revenge, but the Green Lion Demon just soaked him in water for three years. At the same time, when the Green Lion Demon saw the King of Black Chicken again, he said: My heart was beating like a deer, and my face was red.

Will the Blue Lion be afraid?

It was obviously impossible to be afraid of a mortal.

The purpose of governing the Wuji Kingdom in an orderly manner was purely to make up for the guilt.

Wang Ming's expedition during the period when the Green Lion Demon was king was obviously asking for trouble.

Now that Tang Seng and his disciples have arrived at the Kingdom of Wuji, it is time for the Green Lion Demon to leave.

Wang Ming suddenly felt worried and thought, "There is a saying that this Wuji Kingdom is actually a place where Tathagata Buddha and Manjusri Bodhisattva compete for their interests. If I attack Wuji Kingdom, there shouldn't be any setbacks!"

The king of the Wuji Kingdom was a king, but he could not be compared with Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

Because in all the dynasties in China, no matter whether you usurped the throne or seized it, in the end you would recognize the previous dynasty and inherit the legal system of the previous dynasty.

The throne of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty can be traced back to Emperor Fuxi of Heaven, Emperor Shennong of Earth, and Emperor Xuanyuan of Man.

It can also be said that the throne of the Human King is inherited in Middle-earth.

Therefore,
Even though the King of the Black Chicken Kingdom is still a king, he is basically not blessed by any dragon energy.

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time! If I don't attack the Kingdom of Wuji, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand the consumption of the Human King's luck like Tang Sanzang and the others." Wang Ming finally made up his mind and decided to attack the Kingdom of Wuji.

Wang Ming was not idle during this year.

Although the original body has never left the land of Baoxiang Kingdom, the clone has been to many places.

During this year, Wang Ming sent his avatars to ancient Greece, ancient Egypt, ancient Northern Europe, ancient Japan, ancient India...

Wang Ming has also verified that these places all have local gods.

But Wang Ming didn’t know whether those gods and the heavenly way of the Middle-earth where Wang Ming was were the same.

These things were not something Wang Ming could explore at the moment, and Wang Ming naturally would not take the initiative to explore them. He was just thinking about how to survive the journey to the West.

The troops marched west to Lingshan. Although relying on the luck of the Human King, Wang Ming did not have to fear harm from the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

but,

The human king has a limited lifespan.

This is a restriction jointly set by the gods. Human kings cannot practice methods to achieve immortality.

Wang Ming's possession of Li Shimin's body cannot actually be considered as possessing Li Shimin's body.

What Wang Ming needs is his fate and luck, not a physical body.

At this time, Wang Ming's true body was inside the Niwan Palace in Li Shimin's brain.

It’s not that the real body can’t get out, but it’s not of much use after getting out.

The main body cannot cause trouble, otherwise the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will discover it.

If you want to cause trouble, you can only use the body of Tang Emperor Li Shimin. Even if you find problems, you cannot touch Li Shimin.

Despite such great restrictions, Wang Ming still wants to stay in this world to seek a way to break through.

The level of the "Marvel World" is high, but it restricts the qualifications of living beings to break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

That's why Wang Ming traveled through time and space and came to this world.

In this world, Wang Ming has the opportunity to break through the Taiyi Golden Immortal and become the Daluo Golden Immortal.
