Chapter 26

As soon as the word "sacrifice" was said..,

Ba Jie's expression also changed. "Are you going through so much trouble to sacrifice the entire city?"

Wukong said, "It's not impossible."

"As far as I know..,

The living soil is a sacred object..,

It's impossible to use such a cruel method. "Ba Jie muttered,

"I'm afraid that demon has obtained some evil method."

As they spoke, the two of them had already entered the palace,

They roughly looked around the strange places in the palace,

They finally decided to go to the King's bedroom and the State Preceptor's Hall. They stood on the roof and prepared to part ways.

The King doted on the State Preceptor and could not leave for even a moment,

So he simply gave him a hall in the palace to live in,

The two of them planned to find the King,

One of them went to the State Preceptor's Hall.

Wukong unfolded the map,

He pointed to the King's bedroom and said, "I'll go find that demon. You go here and take a look. If there's anything wrong, come and meet me."

Ba Jie nodded. "I know."

The State Preceptor's Hall was brightly lit,

It was very lively. Countless palace people were busy coming and going,

Wukong became an ordinary palace person,

He mixed in with them to inquire about the situation.

He heard someone shouting, "Be careful, the State Preceptor said,

Tonight is no small matter,

If it succeeds..,

We will also become immortal! "

Wukong was shocked. Live forever?

Could it be that they wanted to divide the little monk?

Thinking that Xuanzang was still in the same place, he was anxious. He wanted to go back and take a look, but he was afraid of delaying things. Coincidentally, a palace person beside him was slacking off. Seeing that he was young and unfamiliar, he stuffed the basket in his hand into his hand and scolded, "From another palace?

You're so tired!

Quickly send it to the Empress! "

Wukong bowed down. "Sister, no one gave me anything to do. Where is the Empress?"

The palace person pointed in a direction. "Follow this road and turn right to the second courtyard."

He heard that the State Preceptor had a beautiful daughter. It was probably this Empress.

Wukong walked along the road and opened the basket to see what was inside. He found that it was just some women's rouge and face powder.

The Empress' courtyard was different from other places. It was very quiet, with only two or three palace servants going back and forth to deliver things. Wukong followed them around and finally stopped at the innermost door. The palace steward ordered him, "Just put it here."

There were all kinds of things piled up in front of the door, all of which were tied with big red flowers. There were also wedding lanterns hanging on the door, as if someone was about to get married.

There was a faint demonic aura in the room. It was most likely the so-called Empress.

Wukong threw away a few sleepy bugs and directly barged into the room. He saw a beautiful woman in red dressing up in front of a mirror. She seemed to have something on her mind.

Hearing that someone had barged in, she said impatiently, "I told you not to disturb me. Go out and receive your punishment!"

Wukong leaned against the wall with the Jingu Bang in his arms. Slightly surprised, he said, "I should be the one saying that. Evildoer, receive your punishment."

Xuanzang was taken away by a demon again, but this time he was wearing Wujing's skin.

The intruder was a hale and hearty Taoist priest with white hair and beard. When he said "Tang Seng meat", Wujing knew that he could not hide it anymore. If he forced himself to fight, he was afraid that he would not be able to beat this demon.

Therefore, he made a prompt decision and pulled Xuanzang to stand out. He put his palms together and chanted Buddha. He sighed and said, "Since you are looking for me, why do you hurt the innocent?"

Xuanzang looked at him in surprise. Wujing was usually quiet and fierce. Xuanzang did not expect that under the influence of Xuanzang's scriptures day and night, he would be able to learn almost everything about Xuanzang.

The Imperial Master looked at him with interest. "Holy Monk?

If I had known that I could meet the Holy Monk, I would not have bothered to do this. "He then glanced at the naughty Xuanzang of Wujing and frowned. No one knew what he was thinking.

Xuanzang subconsciously wanted to hide, but then he remembered that it was not Wujing's style, so he stared at the Imperial Master.

Wujing protected him behind him. "I am willing to go with the Imperial Master, but my disciple is timid and ignorant. Please let him go."

Xuanzang pulled his sleeve and shouted, "Master!

No! "

Wujing patted his hand to comfort him. "You stay."

The Imperial Master glanced between the two of them. In the end, he was touched by their deep master and disciple relationship, so he took them both away.

Perhaps the Imperial Master had been stained with his scent for a long time, but he did not seem to recognize them.

Wujing was nowhere to be found, and Xuanzang was in the prison.

Xuanzang was forced to walk in the narrow and dark tunnel by the guards. He calmed down and observed his surroundings. This should be a dungeon. There were no windows and not much light could be seen. Only an oil lamp was lit to maintain the most basic light, but it was not cold. It could even be said to be warm and comfortable.

When he passed by a gap, he heard the sound of children crying. He could not help but look inside.

He only saw a corner where children like him were locked up. There were four in each cage, and every two cages had a guard watching over them.

What made Xuanzang feel strange was that these children were either sleeping or playing with straw on the ground. Some of them were crying. They were reprimanded by the guards before they stopped making a sound.

One of the children met his eyes and even looked up at him with a smile. His smile was innocent and sweet.

Xuanzang was surprised and doubtful. This did not look like an adult who had shrunk, but more like a real child!

And it looked like he was at most two years old.

Why did the Imperial Master lock up so many real children?

At the end of the tunnel, there was a special solitary cell. The material did not look like ordinary iron. It shone slightly. There were two children who were meditating with their eyes closed. Xuanzang was also locked inside.

Hearing that a newcomer had come in, the two meditating children opened their eyes and looked at him. They hesitated and asked, "Who are you?"

Xuanzang clasped his hands and said, "I am a monk from the Tang Dynasty who came to seek Buddhist scriptures."

The two stood up in shock. "Could it be Elder Sanzang?" They were also puzzled by Wujing's appearance. "This …"

"Yes." Xuanzang asked, "And you are?"

The two said, "We are the Earth City God of this place. Because we did not obey, we were locked up here by the demon for a year." They asked again, "Since the Holy Monk is here, the Great Sage must be here too!"

Xuanzang said, "Wukong went to find the demon's lair." He then told them about his exchange with Wujing. They did not know where Wujing was now.

The two cried tears of joy. "We are saved, we are saved!"

Xuanzang asked, "What kind of supernatural power does this demon have to be able to lock you two in here?"

The two waved their hands and said, "Our mana is weak, it's nothing.

It seems like it came from the heavens. Its supernatural power is not as good as the Great Sage's. It can only be so arrogant because it obtained an incredible treasure. If the Great Sage encountered it, I'm afraid he would not be able to handle it.

When the Holy Monk came, did he see the children it locked up? "

"I have also heard of this treasure." Xuanzang's heart tightened. "What's the reason for locking up children?"

The Earth City God said, "The Holy Monk may not know, but the demon's treasure, the Soil of Breath, has the meaning of returning to one's natural state. It requires the purest of 1111 children's hearts and livers as a sacrifice to take the Soil of Breath for itself. Although the Soil of Breath can turn people into children, their nature cannot be compared to real children. Therefore, everyone else in the city will be buried with them."

Xuanzang was stunned. He repeatedly lamented his "sins".

"There are not enough children in the city, so the demon forced the men and women in the palace to have sex and give birth to healthy children. A few days ago, we managed to gather 1111 children."

The City God sighed. "Holy Monk, your physique is not ordinary. You cannot fall into his hands. You have to think of a way to get out."

Xuanzang pursed his lips. He frowned as he pondered, "Can I make up for those 1000 children by myself?"

"What kind of status does the Holy Monk have? Nothing can go wrong." The Earth City God hurriedly said, "Let's wait for the Great Sage."

Xuanzang said with a heavy heart, "What if Wukong falls into the trap?" He had a bad premonition.

"I'm still here." The miniature version of the White Dragon Horse knocked out the guard and softly called from outside the cage. "Master."

"The Third Prince!" Almost forgetting about the White Dragon Horse, Xuanzang was surprised and happy, "What do we do?

Can you open the door? "

The White Dragon Horse hesitated, "I can, but I can't transform. I'm afraid I can't bring you out.

Master, I'll go find Eldest Senior Brother to save you! "

"Don't be in a hurry to save me." Xuanzang said softly, "There are more than 1000 real children over there. We have to save them first."

No matter how hard it is, it can't be hard on the children.

The White Dragon Horse said, "Master, don't be in a hurry. Even if we let them go, there are so many children that we can't take care of them all. When the time comes, we'll have to capture them and alert the enemy. It's more important for us to go out and meet up with Eldest Senior Brother."

Xuanzang was a little dazed. He nodded, once again feeling helpless.

The Earth City God and the Earth City God hurriedly said, "As long as we can break this cage made of Living Earth, we'll be able to recover some of our magic power and help a little."

The White Dragon Horse found the key from the guard and threw it into the cage, "You guys open it."

The Earth City God and the Earth City God, "?!

You threw it in, we can't reach out, how can we open it! "

The wronged Little White Dragon, "…"

Xuanzang hurriedly said, "I'll do it, I'll do it." He had a mortal body and was not affected by the cage. He took the key and opened the lock.

However, just as Xuanzang opened the lock and stepped out of the cage, there was a commotion in the tunnel. The Imperial Tutor appeared in front of them almost instantly. He saw Xuanzang standing outside the cage and laughed, "What a great trick. I was wondering what was wrong. I was almost fooled."

The Earth City God and the Earth City God went forward to block him. They said to the Little White Dragon, "The Third Prince, quickly take the Holy Monk and leave. We can hold them off for a while!"

Xuanzang chanted Buddha and clasped his hands, "I'm willing to stay. I only hope that the Imperial Tutor can let go of these 1000 innocent children."

He looked at the Imperial Tutor frankly, "If I use my heart as a sacrifice, these children should be useless, right?"

These demons have been gathering for a few days without making a move. They also came from the sky. They probably won't dare to kill easily. They're just afraid that he won't be able to hold back.

The Imperial Tutor looked at him thoughtfully.

The other two people were shocked, "Holy Monk, you can't!"

Xuanzang said, "My life can be exchanged for 1000, why can't I?

Is my life more valuable than theirs? "
