The old eunuch ran a few steps and followed the King of Yan.
When Xu Changsheng learned that the King of Yan was coming to welcome him, he invited Fu Tianchou to meet him in the palace.
When Fu Tianchou heard Xu Changsheng say that the Emperor wanted to see him, he did not believe it at first. He walked to the palace with Xu Changsheng in a skeptical manner.
When they saw the King of Yan and an old eunuch walking over, they immediately believed him.
Fu Tianchou said in shock,"Holy Monk, you are really like a god. I admire you."?”
"I guess the Emperor will ask me three questions when he sees me," Xu Changsheng said with a smile.”
"Holy Monk, do you even know what the Emperor wants to say and ask?" Fu Tianchou asked in astonishment.”
Xu Changsheng put his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha.""Amitabha. This Penniless Monk is only guessing.”
"If the emperor asks, then you can be considered a wise ruler. Lord Fu can continue to assist the emperor.”
"If the Emperor didn't ask, Lord Fu can retire and return to his hometown in peace. He can live a stable life with Qingfeng and Yuechi, two female benefactors, far away from the court.”
Fu Tianchou was enlightened. He understood that Xu Changsheng's actions were to point out a clear path for him.
He could not help but admire Xu Changsheng even more. In his heart, he wanted to build a golden body of Xu Changsheng at home and worship him every day.
One had to know that Fu Tianchou had a deep prejudice against monks because of his relationship with the Imperial Advisor, Pudu Cihang. He even disliked Buddhism.
However, Fu Tianchou admired Xu Changsheng so much that he changed his view of monks and Buddhism.
Fu Tianchou cupped his fists and wanted to kneel down to thank him.
"Thank you, holy monk, for clearing Tianchou's confusion and guiding him.”
Xu Changsheng raised his palm in the air. A thick and flexible force supported Fu Tianchou, preventing him from kneeling.
"There's no need to thank me. If you can bring good fortune to the people, this penniless monk will also be considered to have done something meritorious.”
Fu Tianchou's gaze was firm, and his voice was sonorous and forceful as he said,"If Tianchou is put in an important position by the emperor, he will definitely do his best to benefit the people!”
As they spoke, Xu Changsheng, Fu Tianchou, and the King of Yan approached.
The King of Yan put his palms together and bowed." Amitabha. Greetings, Holy Monk!"”
"Thank you, Holy Monk, for your kindness in eliminating the evildoer and saving the Yan Country from destruction.”
Xu Changsheng stepped forward to return the greeting and said with a smile,""Your Majesty, you are too polite. This Penniless Monk travels the world and sees demons and ghosts causing trouble and harming the people. Naturally, I am also angry and indignant.”
The King of Yan laughed and said," The Holy Monk has also gone through life and death to vanquish demons and devils. He has risked his life. There's no such thing as his duty."”
Fu Tianchou was shocked by the King of Yan's courtesy towards Xu Changsheng. He hurriedly bowed and said,""Sinful subject Fu Tianchou greets Your Majesty!”
The King of Yan held Fu Tianchou with both hands and said,""I was incompetent and let the demon monk Pudu Cihang control the government. My dear minister has suffered, my dear minister has suffered.”
He then said to Xu Changsheng," How about this? This is not the place to talk. Please move to my palace. I want to treat you well as a token of my gratitude."”
"Alright."
Xu Changsheng waved his wide kasaya, and a cloud appeared, lifting him, Fu Tianchou, and the King of Yan.
Immediately after, the third-grade Lotus Throne appeared under everyone's feet. It spun and expanded, taking them up into the sky and flying towards the Royal Palace of Yan City.
The King of Yan was surprised and delighted. He looked down at the shrinking Yan Capital and said,"The holy monk's methods are indeed brilliant. This is the first time I've flown into the sky to see my own territory.”
"Is this the first time Your Majesty is looking at your territory?”
Xu Changsheng smiled and raised his palm with one hand. Then, his five fingers formed a Buddhist seal and he said,""In that case, this penniless monk will take the initiative to bring Your Majesty to inspect the Yan Country.”
The King of Yan clapped his hands and said,"That's good, that's good!"”
"I didn't expect Little Wang to be able to fly in the sky like a god and patrol his beautiful rivers and mountains.”
Xu Changsheng smiled and said nothing. He flew high in the sky on the third-grade Lotus Throne and brought the King of Yan and the others to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Immediately after, the King of Yan, Fu Tianchou, and the others saw the towns that were in dire straits, the abandoned farmlands, and the corpses that had starved to death on the road.
The commoners were suffering, and the commoners were in dire straits!
The King of Yan's face turned pale. He pointed at the scene below and asked in surprise and pain,"How…how did this happen?"
"Holy monk, why did my beautiful rivers and mountains become such a devastated scene?”
Xu Changsheng put his palms together and chanted,""Amitabha. If Your Majesty is asking me, why don't you ask your people?”
After saying that, Xu Changsheng waved his kasaya, as if a red cloud had turned over.
When Xu Changsheng stopped, the King of Yan was surprised to find that his dragon robe was gone and replaced by a coarse linen robe.
Fu Tianchou's prison uniform had also disappeared. Like the King of Yan, it had turned into a burlap robe.
The other old eunuch was the same.
The King of Yan asked,"Where is my dragon robe?"”
" The dragon robe is still here," Xu Changsheng replied." It's just a distraction. Don't panic."”
"Now, This Penniless Monk will take you to understand the answer to the first question.”
Xu Changsheng's hand seals changed, and the Third-grade Treasure Lotus Throne descended.
The moment they landed, the third-grade Treasured Lotus Throne disappeared like air, allowing everyone to step steadily on the ground.
"This…This is my hometown!" Fu Tianchou said in surprise.”
" Yes," Xu Changsheng nodded." It's also the hometown of Lord Ning and Lord Nie, whose entire families were executed a hundred years ago."”
"This place is known as the home of loyal officials and good generals.”
"The journey is tiring. This Penniless Monk has come to invite all of you to have a cup of tea.”
Xu Changsheng brought the King of Yan, Fu Tianchou, and the old eunuch to the restaurant where they had tea in the morning.
The old waiter was still there.
When he saw Xu Changsheng, he quickly opened the door to welcome him.
"Holy Monk, why did you disappear like air this morning?”
"This afternoon, I brought a few more guests.”
The waiter cleared a table for Xu Changsheng and the others to sit down.
As he busied himself, the waiter curiously sized up the few of them and found that this combination was quite strange.
Needless to say, Xu Changsheng's temperament was the most outstanding. He was as energetic as jade, and there was a holy golden Buddhist light behind him.
Compared to the others, the difference was like that between an immortal and a mortal.
Even the King of Yan, who was the ruler of a country, looked like a middle-aged uncle in front of Xu Changsheng.
Putting Xu Changsheng aside, Fu Tianchou, who had disheveled hair and a gray face, looked like a beggar.
The King of Yan, who was not angry but dignified and carried a noble aura, was like a landlord.
As for the old eunuch, he acted like a eunuch in the palace.
