Chapter 375 - 376: Slaying the Demon Path
Upon hearing Xuanzang’s words, the King hesitated for a moment; even he had never heard that one’s heart and liver could cure diseases, and moreover, he had eaten so many children’s hearts and livers by now
and had not found his illness improving.
"Your Majesty must not be deceived by this demon path, lest you commit a grave mistake,"
Xuanzang looked meaningfully at the King and said.
"How dare you! I am the National Abbot personally appointed by His Majesty, and you dare to call me a demon path,"
the Daoist raised in anger, bellowing loudly.
Then, turning to the Foolish Ruler, he said, "Your Majesty, this Demon Monk is recklessly audacious. He calls me a demon path, which is clearly a veiled insult to Your Majesty, branding you as a Foolish Ruler, a crime of immense disloyalty."
"I humbly implore Your Majesty to arrest this Demon Monk, drag him out through the Wumen gate and carve out his heart and liver, boil them into a concoction for Your Majesty to use as a medicinal primer. Once Your Majesty consumes my Immortal Elixir, I guarantee you longevity and eternal life,"
Listening to the Daoist’s words, the King’s eyes lit up, and he asked, "National Abbot, does the Immortal Elixir you procured really have such effects?"
"Utterly true! Provided this Monk’s heart and liver are used as a medicinal primer, I assure you, Your Majesty, will enjoy boundless longevity!"
"Your Majesty, I am but a simple villager from the wilderness. All the glory and riches I have received are gifts from Your Majesty, for which I am forever grateful. How could I possibly harm Your Majesty?"
