#2247 - Demon-Exorcism Merit Ceremony

Just as Chu Hao and Buddha Tathagata were engaged in a great battle, in Yuhua City, after three days of preparation, the merit Dharma assembly for subduing demons, arranged by Guanyin, also began.

This time, according to Guanyin's instructions, the King of Yuhua City could be said to have spared no expense. The entire merit Dharma assembly for subduing demons was not only very grand, but he also ordered all the people of Yuhua City to participate.

The entire Yuhua City had hundreds of thousands of people, all gathered at this time in the square in front of the palace, where a high platform had been erected in the center of the square.

The King of Yuhua City, civil and military officials, Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong and his group, as well as the three princes, were all on the high platform.

The King of Yuhua City personally presided over this merit Dharma assembly, of course, this was also to maintain his royal power and status.

“My dear subjects, since the arrival of the eminent monks from the Tang Dynasty in my Yuhua City, the weather has been favorable and all the people have been happy.

In particular, the three holy monks have accepted my three royal sons as disciples, teaching them martial arts and magic, allowing my Yuhua City to be blessed by immortals and protected by Buddhism.

Three days ago, the three eminent monks and my three royal sons went together to Great Black Mountain to subdue demons and eliminate evil, and eliminated the blood-sucking demon king who plagued my Yuhua City. This is a great meritorious deed.”

The King of Yuhua City spoke eloquently, embellishing the story of Sun Wukong and the others subduing the demon to the people.

Although the King of Yuhua City felt good about himself, the people below did not buy it.

The people naturally knew very well what kind of stuff this king was. Even if the blood-sucking demon king harmed the people, he was still not as bad as the king and his three princes.

“Hmph, this fatuous ruler is very good at bragging.”

“The ones who eliminated the demon were the eminent monks from the Tang Dynasty, what does it have to do with them.”

“This face is disgusting to look at.”

The people whispered, all with a look of disgust and contempt for the king.

After Tang Sanzang's period of edification and enlightenment, the people had already understood everything in their hearts. How could they not hate the Western Heaven and this king, who served as the Western Heaven's lackey?

Of course, the king also knew that he was unpopular, so he mobilized thousands of troops to maintain order at this merit Dharma assembly.

With the deterrence of the army, the people only dared to discuss in low voices, and did not dare to directly resist, so the order of the venue was still good.

“Now, please invite the eminent monks from the Tang Dynasty and my three royal sons to talk about their demon-subduing experience.”

The king was probably tired of talking, so he invited Sun Wukong and his group, as well as the three princes, to tell their story.

Sun Wukong and his group naturally would not refuse, but they would not boast like the king, but would only tell the truth.

Guanyin, who was monitoring everything not far away, was basically satisfied with the effect of this Dharma assembly.

She had already prepared herself. As soon as Sun Wukong and the others finished speaking, Guanyin would immediately descend to the Dharma assembly.

Guanyin herself represented the Western Heaven. As long as she appeared and had Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong and the others express their attitude.

Then the merits accumulated by Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong and the others in this Yuhua City would naturally be transferred to the Western Heaven.

In this way, the Yuhua City tribulation would be considered to have passed smoothly, and she could return to the Western Heaven to report.

Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong and the others were also very clear about what the Poison Dragon Demon King wanted to say at this time.

In fact, this was also what Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong and the others wanted to say, but it might be better if the Poison Dragon Demon King said it.
