As soon as Yuan Shoucheng finished his words, the street fell into silence. The surrounding pedestrians and residents were dumbfounded.
When they came back to their senses, the onlookers started discussing and pointing. Their tone and eyes were full of ridicule.
Could it be that this fortune-teller was crazy? He was talking nonsense. He lost the bet on rain, and now he even brought up Jinghe Dragon King. It turned out that he was just acting. Why didn't he go to heaven?
However, when Yuan Shoucheng finished his words, the young scholar looked as if he was struck by lightning. His face instantly turned pale and his eyes were filled with panic.
Previously, he only wanted to expel Yuan Shoucheng from Chang 'an in a fit of anger. He did not think so much. Now that he heard Yuan Shoucheng's words, he was both shocked and scared.
After coming back to his senses, Jinghe Dragon King panicked and regretted his impulsive actions. He quickly knelt on the ground and begged, "Master, master, please save my life!"
Yuan Shoucheng shook his head slightly. Seeing his pitiful appearance, he sighed and said, "It's useless to beg me. Tomorrow at noon, you will be executed by Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng is the current Prime Minister. If you can ask Emperor Tang for a favor, you may still have a way out."
After saying that, Yuan Shoucheng picked up the flag and left. In a blink of an eye, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Tang … Emperor Tang, thank you for saving my life."
Looking at Yuan Shoucheng's back, Jinghe Dragon King muttered to himself. His body trembled. After thanking him, he turned into a rainbow and rushed into the Jing River.
Originally, the expressions of all the pedestrians on the street froze in an instant as if they were hallucinating.
"Dragon King!"
"Jinghe Dragon King, Jinghe Dragon King!"
"So that Yuan Shoucheng is really a master. If I had known earlier, I would have asked him to calculate my future and marriage!"
There were many onlookers on the street at the west gate of Chang 'an. When they saw the young scholar turn into a rainbow and enter the Jing River, their eyeballs almost fell out. They were dumbfounded.
One had to know that the Dragon King was a god. How could he appear among the mortals?
In the distant tea shed, Mu Qingxiao glanced at Yuan Shoucheng. After today, the latter would probably not appear in Chang 'an anymore.
As for Jinghe Dragon King, he was also frightened by his words. He did not even think before he ended up being executed in his sleep.
After Yuan Shoucheng and Jinghe Dragon King left, Mu Qingxiao did not continue to stay and did not continue to pursue Yuan Shoucheng.
Since they already knew the power behind it, the death of Jinghe Dragon King was a foregone conclusion. Mu Qingxiao would not be so idle as to risk offending Buddhism by interfering.
According to the information he inquired yesterday, there were not many temples in Chang 'an City. There was only one ancient temple at the north gate.
At this time, the Tang King Li Shimin did not agree with Buddhism. The other temples in Chang 'an were almost demolished, except for this one. The situation was clear.
Mu Qingxiao heard that the abbot was a young monk. She thought for a moment and guessed that the monk was Tang Sanzang, the reincarnation of Golden Cicada, the second disciple of Tathagata.
After arriving in Chang 'an City, Mu Qingxiao was a little confused since the System had not issued any mission yet.
Tang Sanzang was also the main character in the Journey to the West. After making up his mind, Mu Qingxiao asked passersby and found the temple's address.
Tang Sanzang was born in Luoyang, Henan. When he was 13, he followed his second brother to the Pure Land Temple in Luoyang to be a monk. It was not until later that he came to Chang 'an. He was quite famous in Chang' an.
Although the latter was young, he was already the abbot of the temple. He had a deep understanding of Buddhism and was respected by many people around him.
They arrived at a small temple north of Chang 'an. As soon as Mu Qingxiao stepped into the temple, he saw a handsome monk in a kasaya with red lips and white teeth.
This person was the main character of the Journey to the West, Tang Sanzang.
In fact, Mu Qingxiao did not believe in Buddhism. Although Buddhism was deeply rooted on Earth, he was only here to try his luck and see if he could trigger the System's mission.
However, Tang Sanzang was very polite. As soon as Mu Qingxiao stepped into the temple, he quickly served him tea. They sat opposite each other and instilled the subtleties of Buddhism into him.
"Amitabha. Benefactor Mu, you are deeply rooted in wisdom and have an affinity with Buddhism. If you can enter Buddhism, you will be famous forever. Why don't you get rid of your worries and cultivate Buddhism? You can become a Buddha immediately and save all living beings."
Tang Sanzang's words were very gentle and he greeted him with a smile. However, Mu Qingxiao's mouth twitched. Asking him to cultivate Buddhism when he did not believe in Buddhism was like asking a stone to stone.
Although Mu Qingxiao knew that the monk in front of him was the reincarnation of Golden Cicada, he was just a mortal now. Although he was reincarnated, Buddhism had taken root in his soul and could not be removed.
In response, Mu Qingxiao politely declined Tang Sanzang's invitation. After listening to him talk about Buddhism, he turned and left the temple.

Late at night, Mu Qingxiao opened his starry eyes. Later, Jinghe Dragon King would enter Li Shimin's dream and ask him for help. He would also get Li Shimin's promise.
Unfortunately, he was still killed by Heavenly Official Wei Zheng in his dream.
Hiding his aura, Mu Qingxiao took a step and appeared in the sky above the imperial palace. He glanced at the heavily guarded imperial palace and landed in the winding corridor of the palace. He restrained his aura and wandered around.
If Heavenly Official Wei Zheng could kill Jinghe Dragon King in his dream, he should be at least a Golden Immortal, right?
After all, Jinghe Dragon King was a ninth-level Celestial Immortal. If Wei Zheng was just a mortal, it would be too ridiculous.
Just as Mu Qingxiao was immersed in his thoughts, three figures walked over from the other side of the corridor. He looked up slightly and saw a beautiful woman.
The woman was wearing a long dress and two women in palace attire followed behind her. They should be the maids.
Although the woman's appearance was delicate, she was very different from the Third Saintess. She was not as beautiful as the Third Saintess, nor did she have the dignified, virtuous, and holy temperament of the Third Saintess.
Therefore, Mu Qingxiao only glanced at them briefly before looking away. He concealed his aura and sat in the corridor. He did not avoid them.
The three women walked past him and did not notice his existence at all.
When the three women entered the room, he heard a conversation. Mu Qingxiao was stunned. His starry eyes looked through the wall and sized up the woman in the room. He had a strange expression.
Why did the two maids address this beautiful woman as' talented person '?
If he remembered correctly, the title 'Talented Lady' corresponded to a woman. In the Tang Dynasty, only Wu Zetian, who was recruited by Li Shimin, was a Talented Lady.
Looking away, Mu Qingxiao had a strange expression. He did not expect to meet this Great Empress one day.
Of course, although he was surprised, Mu Qingxiao was not very interested. After all, she was just a mortal. Moreover, she was no longer a virgin.
