64: Pink Skeleton, have you understood?

Li Shimin thought he was seeing things, and the guards in the hall were on high alert, but when they saw Tang Seng’s Holiness face, everyone hesitated.

“Holy Monk?! You’re finally back!”

Li Shimin was overjoyed and was about to say something when he saw Bianji staring intently at Tang Seng’s face, as if he had something to say.

“Alas, is the Holy Monk here to plead for your Disciple?”

Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said, “You don’t know the root of this matter. Monk Bianji, he… Alas, it’s also a misfortune for my Li family that such a scandal occurred…”

Tang Ku, unhurried, clasped his hands and said, “Your Majesty, Poor Monk is not here to plead for my Disciple. In fact, what he did is indeed unforgivable, but there is another hidden reason. Killing one person is a small matter, but if he dies and evil spirits ultimately defile the palace, then this matter will be big!”

Tang King was startled: “What are evil spirits?”

“To be honest!” Tang Ku glanced at Bianji and said, “Poor Monk came here, first, to pay respects to Your Majesty, and second, to sweep away evil spirits from the human world. My Datang’s Luck is still strong, so ordinary evil spirits dare not enter the palace, but… there is a group of evil spirits that are different… Hmm, Your Majesty, may I ask the Princess and the Imperial Son-in-law to come to the hall? Poor Monk has something to say…”

Tang King hesitated slightly, but then heard Tang Ku say, “Your Majesty, do you not trust Poor Monk anymore? Haha, don’t worry, don’t worry, Poor Monk has already become a Buddha, named Buddha of Sandalwood Merit. From now on, I can establish incense offerings in Datang, and all Buddha Dharma Disciples can offer sacrifices, which can ensure Datang has good weather and is not invaded by external evils!”

“Really!”

Tang King was overjoyed, “So, there is a Buddha who is a citizen of my Datang? Haha, this is truly a cause for celebration…”

For Datang, a princess’s adultery case was never more important than good weather and national peace.

What else is there to say? The Datang Holy Monk is Buddha of Sandalwood Merit. In other words, this is Datang’s own Buddha.

According to the Gangs, Tang Seng, as the Gang leader of the Datang territory, can establish his own hall!

He ordered someone to find Gao Yang Princess and her Imperial Son-in-law, Fang Yiai, saying that the Holy Monk had something to ask them. Immediately, Emperor Taizong of Tang pulled Tang Ku’s hand, sat on the Dragon throne, and chatted with him.

Don’t forget, Tang Ku is not only Tang Sanzang; his main consciousness is still Tang Ku. In terms of extensive knowledge and the spirit of Buddha Dharma, no one in the entire Datang can compare.

During this conversation, Tang Ku told Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, in the form of stories, about the policies and their pros and cons of various dynasties from Datang to modern times, as well as the future direction of technological development.

Tang King listened with rapt attention, almost forgetting about Monk Bianji, who was still kneeling beside him. After a long time, when the eunuch announced Gao Yang Princess and Fang Yiai’s audience, he finally came back to his senses and pulled Tang Ku, saying, “Holy Monk… The divine object you just mentioned, called ‘automobile,’ I wonder when my Datang will be able to produce it… However, I believe that one day, the common people will also be able to travel with such convenience… Hmm, the Princess has arrived. After this matter is concluded, you and I, brothers, can talk through the night by candlelight to our heart’s content!”

Tang Ku clasped his hands in thanks, thinking to himself, “Once I explain this matter, it would be strange if you were still in the mood…”

Finally, Gao Yang Princess and Fang Yiai stepped into the main hall and paid their respects to Li Shimin. Tang King dismissed everyone else, ordering all non-royals to leave. Tang Ku observed the two, having already made his calculations.

Fang Yiai was tall and burly, truly a man with a tiger’s back and a bear’s waist. His appearance was rough and simple, giving him the air of a crude military general. The Princess, on the other hand, was exquisitely beautiful; both her figure and appearance were top-tier, one might say breathtakingly gorgeous.

The two standing together were truly disharmonious, completely mismatched.

He observed the two, and they, in turn, looked at him with curious eyes. Then, Li Shimin snorted coldly and said, “You two are so ill-mannered! This is My Holy Monk, the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit of my Datang, Master Sanzang. Why do you not bow?”

Both were startled. Although Fang Yiai was rough, he still knew etiquette. Just as he was about to bow, he heard Tang Ku say, “Imperial Son-in-law, there’s no need for such formality. Today, Poor Monk has a question. The Imperial Son-in-law can leave after answering it!”

Fang Yiai cupped his hands and said, “Nephew understands…”

He was actually quite clever. Since he was the Datang Holy Monk, he was a generation higher than himself. Even if the other party was a monk, he still had to bow his head.

Tang Ku smiled at Fang Yiai and said, “Imperial Son-in-law, do you know about the matter between Princess Your Highness and my Disciple?”

Fang Yiai was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his nose and chuckled honestly, “I know a little, but not very clearly…”

“Then you know!”

Tang Ku chuckled, “So, besides this matter, do you know of any other strange things the Princess has been doing recently?”

“Such… such as?” Fang Yiai suddenly felt that this monk seemed to have ill intentions.

“Such as walking naked in the house when not bathing…”

Tang Ku looked at Fang Yiai with a half-smile.

Emperor Taizong of Tang was also bewildered: How could this monk be so interested in other people’s marital affairs?

The Princess’s expression immediately changed. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Fang Yiai looking at her with a very strange expression, and she froze.

“It seems so!”

Tang Ku turned to look at the Princess, slowly approaching step by step, and said, “I wonder… exactly which Princess are you? Where is the real Gao Yang Princess? Are you Aphrodite, or Aholibah? I guess you are Aphrodite, because your behavior is too much like hers!”

Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love in Greece mythology; Aholibah, the source of lewdness in Egyptian mythology. Neither woman was good news, especially Aphrodite, who loved to cuckold her husband!

The Princess’s pupils immediately constricted, and her body suddenly retreated, floating towards the palace entrance.

Emperor Taizong of Tang was startled. He had never known that his daughter possessed such skill.

Tang Ku laughed heartily: “Otherworld God, you can’t run!”

Saying that, Tang Ku had already teleported in front of the Princess, Buddha Power flowing, he grabbed the “Princess’s” delicate neck, and then slammed her fiercely onto the ground.

A strong golden aura suddenly erupted from her body, directly pushing Tang Ku away. Only then did Emperor Taizong of Tang understand that this woman was clearly not his daughter.

“I wonder what kind of character that ‘ah something’ that Holy Monk spoke of is?”

Within the golden light, a blonde woman, almost naked and much more revealing than Datang women, appeared before them. She looked at the monk and said in a deep voice, “How did you guess my identity?”

Tang Ku ignored her and turned to look at Bianji, saying, “Look, this is the Princess Your Highness you’ve been yearning for. Do you understand now?”
