Chapter 181: Empty City and Rumors

In a small village on the outskirts of Hangzhou, many people are waiting for the bus at the suburban bus stop.

"Why hasn't the bus come yet?"

"Yes, although the time is not so accurate, it should have come after such a long time!"

"My grandson didn't come home yesterday. I don't know what he is doing in Hangzhou."

"Nothing will happen, right? Didn't all kinds of clouds and colors appear in the sky yesterday?"

"That's impossible. Hangzhou is a place like that. Accidents may happen in other places, but not in Hangzhou!"

"Haven't those clouds and colors appeared before? Those immortals must have advanced to a higher level! Hasn't this happened many times before?"

"That's right, there are so many monsters and immortals here!"

"That's right! I have to go to Hangzhou to deliver vegetables today. If this bus doesn't come, it will be troublesome!"

"Doesn't Er Mazi have a bicycle at home? You can ask him to help deliver it. At most you can give him some money!"

"Hey! Ermazi treasures that bicycle! How much does it cost to transport it?"

"Didn't you ask for the food to be delivered today?"

"That's right. Oh, I'm going to bleed again."

Several people were chatting with each other, and an old lady was carrying her vegetable basket with a distressed look on her face, walking towards the house at the edge of the village.

The same scene is happening almost everywhere in Hangzhou. Either someone has not returned home yet, or someone has something to do and needs to take the bus.

Then people in many villages who had bicycles got on their bicycles and rode towards Hangzhou. They wanted to see what was happening in Hangzhou.

Ermazi was riding his bicycle, humming a little tune, and speeding along the road.

Since he bought the bicycle, people came to his house every day to give him money and ask him to help deliver things in Hangzhou.

He built two frames at the back of the car to hold these things.

Ermazi rode his bike to the gate of Hangzhou.

Where are the gatekeepers today?

He looked around and rode his bike straight into Hangzhou.

But when he entered Hangzhou, he almost fell off the car.

Ermazi looked at the scene in front of him with trembling legs, fear and terror clearly expressed in his body.

The streets of Hangzhou were littered with chopped-up corpses. Blood flowed from the streets into the gutters nearby, and after evaporating overnight, it looked extremely terrifying.

The destroyed houses and streets also tell of the great battle that took place in Hangzhou.

"How...how could this happen..."

Er Mazi rode his bicycle and shouted on the street, "Is anyone else there?"

"Anyone there?"

The whole city of Hangzhou was silent, and Ermazi could only hear his own echo.

Suddenly, there was a sound of rolling wheels behind him. Ermazi was startled and turned around quickly. His little heart was so scared that he almost jumped out.

But I saw a man riding a bicycle coming towards me from behind. "What happened to the guy in front?"

When the common people came closer, they were all stunned in fear.

After a while, many people came to Hangzhou one after another.

Many people burst into tears and began to look for their relatives among the ruins.

"A lot of stuff in my house was cleared away, but no body was found!"

"My family did the same. Judging from the footprints, they went to the West Lake!"

"Let's go! Let's take a look!"

A glimmer of hope arose in the hearts of many people.

Because there is West Lake Academy in Hangzhou, maybe other people were saved by West Lake Academy?

They ran quickly towards West Lake College, but saw the footprints gathered at the edge of West Lake and then disappeared.

It was as if they had entered someplace and everything disappeared.

But it looked like they all walked or ran in one by one.

Maybe, they are not dead!

But why did this happen in Hangzhou?

When other people began to deal with the aftermath of Hangzhou, a rumor spread throughout the world.

"Have you heard? The new teacher in West Lake Academy, Sun Wukong, is the Monkey King who caused a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace before. However, he is a big devil. He actually repaid kindness with evil and killed everyone in Hangzhou, including the people in West Lake Academy!"

“Is this true or false?”

"Of course it's true. And I heard that not only humans but also monsters are killed!"

"I have a relative who lives on the border of Hangzhou. I saw all kinds of energy fluctuations and colors in the sky at night. I think those immortals are fighting. Unfortunately, the distance is far and I can't see it clearly."

"Then why didn't anyone notice?"

"I heard that Sun Wukong knew a kind of magic that could create thousands of clones. He must have killed all the people in West Lake Academy and Hangzhou that way!"

Erlang Shen and Taishang Laojun transformed themselves into ordinary people, sitting in a teahouse, drinking tea and listening to the people next to them talking about this, their faces looking somewhat solemn.

"Teacher Yang, do you really believe that these were done by Teacher Sun?" asked Taishang Laojun.

Erlang Shen shook his head, "I think Laojun knows it in his heart. With the dean here, how could they be destroyed by Sun Wukong and his gang?"

Taishang Laojun nodded, "Indeed, from the traces left by the West Lake, I can see that the dean used some kind of secret treasure to evacuate the remaining citizens of Hangzhou and the academy. But I don't know where they evacuated to."

Erlang Shen frowned, "But I am worried about that side. What they said to Your Majesty is no different from what these people said. What do you think is the reason?"

Taishang Laojun was silent. What could he say? Say that he suspected that this was done by the Buddhist world? If he said this, with their current magical powers, once they said those two words, the Tathagata Buddha would be able to sense it, and then...

Erlang Shen took a sip of tea and looked at Taishang Laojun, "It seems that Laojun has also noticed that something is wrong here. In fact, I am not worried about the dean and his friends' comfort, but what I am concerned about is why they want to deal with the academy?"

"If we don't make this clear, they might even take action against us..."

Taishang Laojun nodded and sighed heavily, "Yeah, I really don't know why they would do that to the academy. The academy is just a place for teaching and educating people, and it has produced many immortals..."

Before Taishang Laojun finished speaking, he suddenly paused and looked at each other with Erlang Shen. Perhaps this was the reason why the Buddhist world wanted to destroy the academy?

Don’t want the academy to train more immortals for the immortal world?

The expressions of the two gods changed instantly, and they disappeared from the spot in an instant, heading towards the heaven.

"Your Highness! I have something to report!"

Erlang Shen and Taishang Laojun immediately returned to heaven and reported their conjecture to the Emperor of Heaven.

If their guess is true, then the world will soon be in chaos!
