I, the poor monk Tang San, buried the sky, buried the earth, buried all living beings

The Moon God seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he had something to hide.

Tang Ku looked at him for a long time, then suddenly nodded and said, "I roughly understand... Well, since the Kingdom of Women is safe and sound, and I am here to protect it, this place no longer needs the protection of the Moon Lord. Please find another place to stay!"

"This……"

The expression on Taiyin Xingjun's face changed several times before he gritted his teeth and said, "Saint Monk, we, the immortal gods of the upper realm, do need to possess human bodies in order to survive. After all, all our magic power is used to escape from our original spirits, which is why I cannot cure Her Majesty the Queen's terrible illness!"

Tang Ku sneered: "Is that really the case? Haha, then I will believe you for now. You can stay in the Kingdom of Women, but the premise is..."

Tang Ku's expression turned stern, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't try to take advantage of the Kingdom of Women's luck. Otherwise, I will not let you off easily with my fists. Do you understand?"

Taiyin Xingjun's forehead was covered in sweat, as if he was under tremendous pressure. After a long while, he said, "Don't worry, Saint Monk. I won't do anything stupid. After all, I still need to rely on the protection of the human emperor. If you need me to do anything in the future, I will not refuse even if it means death!"

"That's good. Does Taiyin Star Lord have anything else to tell you?" Tang Ku said with narrowed eyes.

"That's all, that's all. I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now!"

As she spoke, her figure slowly faded away and disappeared.

"You are so bold now, but you don't even take the gods in heaven seriously?"

The queen walked down from the throne, came to Tang Ku, and looked him up and down.

Tang Ku felt uncomfortable being stared at: "What are you looking at?"

"I'm trying to see if you're that demon in disguise. Otherwise, how could a cowardly monk suddenly change his personality?"

The Queen laughed.

"...This matter is too complex to explain... I didn't mean to embarrass Taiyin Xingjun just now, I just had to be on guard..."

Tang Ku said helplessly, "Why can't she remove the poison from your body? Haha, even if her magic power becomes weaker, with the strength of Taiyin Xingjun, there is no way she can't deal with such a small amount of poison. Don't forget, she is the most proficient in pharmacology besides Taishang Laojun. Even if she can't use her power, there are still many ways to save you!"

The Queen was surprised and asked, "Then why did she..."

"To test me!"

Tang Ku sighed, looking up to the sky. "It seems that although the gods of the immortal world appear to be dead, in reality, most of them, like her, have fallen into the mortal world and hidden away. Their hopes of making a comeback actually depend on me alone... If that's the case, how can I know if I'm up to the task if I don't test it out?"

"Aren't you afraid of Buddha's blame for your big talk, monk?" The queen smiled. With the nourishment of Tang Ku's Buddha power, her appearance was not only not haggard, but she looked much younger than before. This smile made her look like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in love, which was heart-stirring.

The monk was stunned by her beautiful face. The queen smiled and said, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at a flower in full bloom!"

Tang smiled bitterly.

"You have indeed changed. You have become much more slick and smooth-talking!"

The queen looked at the monk's face again and said, "I almost don't recognize you!"

"I don't want to change, but the world now forces me to change..." Tang Ku smiled helplessly, "I wanted to share this with you, but this matter involves too many things, and I don't want to involve you in any disputes..."

"So there are many things I won't ask, and you won't tell me either. Is that what you mean?" the queen said. "Don't worry, I won't hinder your Zen mind. Do whatever you want. As long as you remember me in your heart and come back to see me often, I will die with peace of mind!"

Tang Ku's heart trembled. Her Majesty the Queen was so considerate that it made him feel distressed. He suddenly extended his right hand and gently stroked the Queen's head, rubbing it lovingly: "Don't mention the word death. With me here, you won't die!"

"But you're leaving!"

This time, the Queen neither resisted nor insisted that Tang Ku stay. A glint flickered in her eyes. "If you leave, I might get sick again. Then, I might not be able to..."

"I'll be back, I promise, I'll be back soon!"

Tang smiled bitterly and said, "With Taiyin Xingjun here, I believe no demon will dare to come here to harm you!"

"But that Taiyin Star Lord probably has evil intentions. If you don't deter her, I'm afraid she'll... well, how do you put it? Seize the luck?"

The Queen tilted her head and asked, "Is that what you mean?"

Tang Ku was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I didn't think it through..."

After thinking for a while, Tang Ku suddenly had an idea and said to the queen: "It's getting late today. Tomorrow when you go to court, you must announce that I will preach in the middle of the sky and spread the Dharma..."

The queen didn't understand what he meant, but she agreed happily.

That night, Tang Ku returned to the inn alone and devoted himself to practicing, trying to improve his Buddha power a little more, at least to restore it to the level where he could fly normally. After all, relying on the somersault cloud to fly had indeed consumed a lot of his physical energy.

The next morning, Tang Ku was still meditating in his room. Around noon, a palace guard came to report that His Majesty had invited a holy monk to preach.

Tang Ku nodded, suddenly flew up, and rose slowly to the air. The Buddhist image suddenly appeared behind him. A huge sandalwood Buddha statue was suspended in the air, sitting in cross-legged position. Tang Ku chanted the Buddha's name, and the sound shook for thousands of miles.

Immediately, the words of Buddhist scriptures from the giant Buddha's mouth spread throughout the city. Countless citizens of the Kingdom of Women witnessed this strange phenomenon and bowed down, praying for the Buddha's blessing. For a moment, everyone's soul seemed to be elevated in this moment.

As the explanation of the Buddhist scriptures became more and more profound, golden lotus flowers suddenly appeared out of thin air everywhere in the city, from the streets to the roofs, from the dirt to the bricks and tiles. The flowers blossomed and radiated golden light, shrouding the entire city in a large expanse of golden light.

In the Western Liang Kingdom of Women, from the emperor, generals, and scholars to the common people and peddlers, all of them worshipped Buddha devoutly, and all their minds were focused on the golden Buddha statue that they had never seen before. There were even historians who recorded all the details of this scene, and there were also painters who painted on the spot and printed this golden Buddha statue on paper.

After the Buddhist scriptures were finished, the sound lingered in the air and echoed throughout the city.

"I am the Sandalwood Merit Buddha of the Western Buddhist Realm. Now the Western Liang Women's Kingdom reveres my golden body and worships the Buddha with devotion. I will naturally protect them and bring peace to their country! All the subjects of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom who follow the teachings and practice virtue and avoid evil, and hold the Sandalwood Merit Buddha Seal, will not fall into the Avici Hell!"

The golden body points to the sky with his right hand and holds the fearlessness seal with his left hand. All those who see this seal will remember it in their hearts and have it engraved on their souls.

hum!

All the golden lotuses instantly turned into golden dust, floating everywhere in the city. Almost everyone had golden powder on their heads and shoulders, which slowly seeped into their bodies.

All the people in the city chanted the name of "Sandalwood Merit Buddha", and the sound shook the city like thunder.

On the highest balcony of the imperial palace, Taiyin Xingjun was watching all this with a gloomy expression, thinking to himself, "What a Sandalwood Merit Buddha who leaves no one behind!"
