#2251 - Changes in Yuhua City

In a mere moment, the king and his ministers' corpses were trampled into a bloody pulp by the enraged populace.

It was then that Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong spoke once more.

“The king and these treacherous officials are certainly hateful, but they are merely a pack of hunting dogs and lackeys. The true source of evil lies behind them, in the Western Paradise.

If you wish to live a good life, if you wish to completely break free from the control of the Western Paradise, you must overthrow the control of the Western Paradise.

And the way the Western Paradise exerts its control is by using the so-called Buddhist Dharma, by using the many temples in Yuhua City.”

The people naturally deeply understood Tang Sanzang's words.

Just now, nearly a thousand Buddhas from the Western Paradise had emerged from those temples, and these temples, under the guise of Buddhist Dharma's protection, extorted incense money from the people.

Furthermore, they constantly brainwashed the people, making them attribute everything to fate and reincarnation, and willingly become beasts of burden and slaves.

“These temples are the foundation of the Western Paradise's rule. Leaving them will ultimately allow them to be used by the Western Paradise again. We must thoroughly recognize the hypocritical face of the so-called Buddhist Dharma, and completely clear out these dens of evil!”

“Tear down the temples, resist the Buddhist Dharma!”

The people shouted and dispersed in all directions, their target being the large and small temples within Yuhua City.

Within Yuhua City, there were hundreds of temples of various sizes. These temples were usually protected by the imperial court, forcing the people to make offerings, proclaiming themselves as the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

But now the people had completely recognized the evil of these temples. Those wicked Buddhas of the Western Paradise were using the temples to engage in the evil deeds of oppressing the people.

The enraged people began to rush into the temples. Faced with this situation, the ordinary monks were unable to stop them at all, and most of them were frightened and fled.

After the people rushed into the temples, they began to demolish the buildings, topple the Buddha statues, and even set fires.

After all, only a very small number of people had vented their anger on the king and the treacherous and cruel officials with their fists and feet.

At this moment, these temples became the place for all the people to vent their anger and resentment, wishing they could smash the temples into pieces.

Even with hundreds of temples, they could not withstand such destruction and demolition by hundreds of thousands of people. In just a moment, those luxurious temples, originally built by plundering the people's wealth, became unrecognizable.

Moreover, not only that, the people also had unexpected gains in those temples.

“There is so much grain in this temple!”

“A small temple actually found several large boxes of gold and silver.”

“This temple even hides women!”

The people of Yuhua City lived in misery, lacking food and clothing, while in these temples, a large amount of grain and numerous gold and silver treasures were hoarded.

Some temples even secretly hid beautiful women, supplying those Buddhas as tools for enjoyment.

Now, the evil within these temples was revealed to the people one by one, making the people's anger even greater.

Soon the temples were smashed into ruins by the people, and the grain and gold and silver were moved out.

This grain and gold and silver, plus the treasures in the royal palace, were a very large sum.

“Now, under our command, these gold and silver and grain will be distributed equally to the people.

With this gold and silver and grain, it should be enough for the people of Yuhua City to support themselves for a period of time, allowing them to rebuild their homes and restore production.”

Tang Sanzang said to Sun Wukong and the others. This was originally the wealth of the people plundered by the Western Paradise and the king, and returning it to the people at this moment would allow the people to live a better life.

Under the command of Tang Sanzang and his companions, the grain and gold and silver were distributed equally to the people.

“Thank you, holy monks from the Tang Dynasty, for helping us escape from the sea of suffering.”

“We are able to have a good life, all thanks to the merits of the eminent monks from the Tang Dynasty.”

“Please accept our bows, eminent monks from the Tang Dynasty.”

The people knelt down one after another, bowing and worshiping Tang Sanzang and his companions.

Tang Sanzang and his companions had helped the people overthrow the monarchy and break free from the rule of the Western Paradise, which had already established a prestige in the hearts of the people that was no less than that of the gods and Buddhas before.

“Now you will all have good days in the future, but Yuhua City cannot be in chaos. You can spontaneously elect a new city lord to manage Yuhua City.”

Tang Sanzang said to the people.

Under the election of the people, a new batch of management personnel was elected. These people were all leaders in resisting the monarchy and the Western Paradise.

They themselves had suffered the oppression of the Western Paradise and the monarchy, and knew how to improve the situation in Yuhua City.

With the help of Tang Sanzang and his companions, they were able to quickly stabilize the situation in Yuhua City and allow Yuhua City to recover and develop.

“However, this matter is not over yet, we still need to stay here for a while.”

Sun Wukong said to Tang Sanzang and his companions.

“Yes, I don’t know how things are going on Immortal Chu Hao’s side.”

“The ultimate task still needs the boss to completely handle it.”

“Immortal Chu Hao’s arrangements are stable, there will definitely be no problems.”

Tang Sanzang and his companions were all clear in their minds that although they had helped Yuhua City get rid of the control of the monarchy and the Western Paradise, the Western Paradise would definitely not be willing to fail like this.

They would definitely try their best to control Yuhua City again, and simply relying on the people of Yuhua City, they had no power to resist the Western Paradise.

It was necessary to provide the people of Yuhua City with a shelter and support like the country of Tianzhu, so that the people of Yuhua City could completely get rid of suffering.

And this shelter and support, Tang Sanzang and his companions were unable to do, and they still needed to rely on Chu Hao to come forward.

“Fortunately, the Demon Clan is now launching an attack on the Western Paradise, and the Western Paradise will not have time to take care of the situation in Yuhua City in a short time.”

Tang Sanzang nodded and said, he still had great trust in Chu Hao's ability.

At this time, Chu Hao was still fighting fiercely with the Tathagata Buddha. The two had fought for hundreds of rounds, but there was no winner.

Chu Hao truly stepped into the realm of a Saint, and the great battle between these two Saints was naturally earth-shattering.

It was difficult to prevent such a commotion from attracting the attention of the Three Realms, and the Heavenly Court and the Demon Clan had naturally noticed it.

And the Heavenly Court and the Demon Clan had made different reactions to this matter.

Within the Demon Clan, Demon Emperor Chu Jin had already received the news from Poison Dragon Demon King and began to distribute and arrange.

“Now the three great Demon Kings are leading the elite of our Demon Clan and have launched an attack on Mount Ling. We must immediately cooperate.”

Chu Jin said to Maitreya Buddha and other Demon Clan core members.

Now the Demon Clan's plan had been successfully launched, and they had gained the advantage over the Western Paradise. With Chu Jin's wisdom, he would naturally give full play to this advantage and inflict heavy damage on the Western Paradise.
