Chapter 111: Praying for Rain

When the three of them were eating in the hall, a little Taoist priest under the east corridor had just fallen asleep, and suddenly got up and said, "I forgot a handbell in the hall, if I lose it, I am afraid that tomorrow the master will blame." ”

The person who slept with him said, "You go to sleep first, and I'll look for it." ”

The little Taoist priest pulled a piece of clothing, put it on his body, and went to the main hall to look for the bell.

I touched the bell, and I was about to go back, when I heard the sound of breathing.

The little Taoist priest was frightened, and hurriedly ran out, but somehow, he stepped on a lychee core, slipped and fell, and smashed a bell.

Zhu Bajie couldn't help but laugh out loud, scaring a little Taoist priest out of his body!

He stumbled, ran to the back, banged on the door and shouted, "Master! Oh no! Something happened!"

The three old Taoist priests hadn't slept yet, so they immediately opened the door and asked, "What's wrong?"

The little Taoist priest trembled and said: "The disciple lost the handbell, went to the temple to look for the bell, and heard someone laughing, it really scared me to death!"

When the old Taoist priest heard this, he shouted, "Hold the lamp! I want to see what kind of evil thing it is!"

An order alarmed the Taoist priests of all sizes in the two corridors, and they all got up and lit the lamps and went to the main hall to watch.

Sun Wukong heard the movement outside, put Monk Sha a little with his left hand, and Zhu Bajie a little with his right hand, and the three of them sat on a high place, silent.

Those Taoist priests lit the lamps and looked at them front and back, and the three of them were like clay sculptures.

Huli Daxian was puzzled: "There are no villains, how can you eat all the offerings?"

Luli Daxian echoed: "It's like people eat, all the skin has been skinned, and the core has spit out the core, but why don't you see anyone?"

Yang Li Daxian had an idea and said: "Senior brother, don't be suspicious, thinking that we are pious and respectful, chanting here day and night, and it is the name of the imperial court, which has alarmed Tianzun." ”

"It may be that Grandpa Sanqing came and received these offerings. ”

"While the Immortal Venerable has not left yet, I am waiting here to pay homage to the Heavenly Venerable, beg for some holy water golden pills, and offer it to Your Majesty, isn't it our credit?"

Huli Daxian nodded and said, "That's right!"

He instructed: "Disciples, chant the scriptures, bring the Dharma robes, and wait for me to walk and pray." ”

Those little Taoist priests obeyed the order, and the two classes were neatly arranged, reciting a volume of "Huangting Tao Te Ching" together.

Huli Daxian put on his magic robe, held the jade slip, danced in front of him, bowed to the ground, and played upwards: "Honest and fearful, the chief returns." I also hope that Xianzun can give some Jindan holy water, enter the imperial court, and live longer than Nanshan. ”

When Zhu Bajie heard this, he was apprehensive, and whispered to Sun Wukong: "Brother Monkey, what should I do now?"

Sun Wukong's eyes rolled, and he suddenly shouted: "When I returned from the peach festival, I didn't bring any holy water elixir." ”

When those big and small Taoist priests heard the statue speak, they said excitedly one by one: "It's really Tianzun in person!

Luli Daxian stepped forward and bowed again: "Please also ask Tianzun to leave some holy water so that the disciples can live longer." ”

Sha Wujing whispered: "Senior brother, I said a long time ago that I have to leave quickly, you see if this is not another accident, this is not it!"

Sun Wukong smiled and said, "Then give him some!"

Zhu Bajie was puzzled and said, "Where did we get any Rausch holy water?"

Sun Wukong said: "Wait, I have you too, and I'll see what my grandson does in a while!"

He opened his mouth and said to the Taoist priests, "If I don't keep some holy water, I'm afraid you won't do your best in the future." But holy water is not so easy to get!"

When all the Taoists heard this, they begged together: "I hope that the Heavenly Venerable will reward some!"

Sun Wukong said: "In this case, take the utensils!"

The three Taoist priests took three large bowls and placed them on the offering table.

Sun Wukong said: "You all go out, close the door, don't leak the secret, so that you can leave some holy water for you." ”

And all the ways withdrew together, and covered the doors of the temple.

Sun Wukong immediately got up, lifted the tiger skin skirt, and sprinkled a bubble.

Zhu Bajie saw that he was happy to undress and sprinkled a bowl, and Sha Wujing concocted a bowl in the same way.

Sun Wukong sat upright and shouted, "Get the holy water!"

The three old Taoist priests entered the hall, picked up a bowl with trepidation, tasted it, wiped their lips and smacked their lips, and Luli Daxian said, "Senior brother, what kind of smell do you have?"

The old Taoist priest pouted and said, "There is a smell of urine." ”

Yangli Daxian also tasted it, smacked his lips, tasted it, and said, "Maybe this is the taste of holy water!"

The three of Sun Wukong laughed, showed their form, and said, "You are drinking our urine!"

When the three old Taoist priests heard this, they were angry and wanted to call for someone to arrest them.

The three of them drove the auspicious light back to Zhiyuan Temple, met Tang Xuanzang, and told everything about it.

Tang Xuanzang looked up to the sky and laughed: "Apprentices, well done! Well done!"

Those bad things between Heavenly Court and Buddhism, if you have to pull him in, then don't blame him for being unkind and indulging Sun Wukong to do some not very good things.

Moreover, even without his instigation, Sun Wukong is happy to do these lawless things.

At five drums and three o'clock the next day, the king of Chechi set up a dynasty and gathered two classes of civil and military officials and four hundred court officials.

Tang Xuanzang woke up three apprentices and called him Sun Wukong

brought the customs clearance papers, and let Sha Wujing hold the purple gold bowl, and Zhu Bajie took the tin staff.

He also handed over his bags and horses to the monks of Zhiyuan Temple to guard.

Before coming to Wufeng Tower, he saluted the Huangmen official and reported his name, saying that the monk from the Tang Dynasty in the East came here to exchange Guan Wen.

The official of the Yellow Gate entered the court and said: "There are four monks outside, saying that they are from the Tang Dynasty in the East and want to come to change Guan Wen, and now they are waiting for the decree in front of the Wufeng Tower." ”

When the king heard this, he said, "This monk has come to the door himself! What about the patrol officials, why don't you arrest them?"

The Taishi flashed next to him, and he said: "The Eastern Soil of the Tang Dynasty in the Southern Ganbu Continent, known as the great country of China, is thousands of miles away from here, and there are many monsters on the road. This monk must have some mana before he dares to come west. ”

"Please also ask Your Majesty to see that they are from a large country in China, and summon them to be allowed to go, which is the best policy!"

The king thought about it carefully, and this is also the truth, and he was ready to play.

The masters and apprentices lined up in front of the steps, holding Guan Wen and handing it to the king.

The king was just about to look, and then saw the Yellow Gate official come to play: "The three national teachers are here." ”

The king hurriedly accepted Guan Wen, got off the dragon seat, and asked the attendants to set up an embroidered pier and bow down to greet him.

Tang Xuanzang and the others looked back and saw that the big immortal was swaying, with a pair of little dao boys behind him, and walked straight inside.

The two squad officers bowed down, not daring to look up.

The three of them went up to the palace of Jinluan, and did not bow to the king.

The king said, "National teacher, I have not been invited, why are you here?"

The old Taoist priest said, "Where did these four monks come from?"

The king replied: "It was sent by the Tang Dynasty from the East to the West to learn the scriptures, and he came here to exchange Guan Wen." ”

The three old Taoist priests stroked their palms and laughed: "I thought he was gone, but he is still here!"

The king was surprised: "What does the national teacher have to say? He just came to report his name, and wanted to use it for the national teacher, but what the national teacher did was reasonable." ”

"Because I see the meaning of coming from afar, I will not destroy the good karma of China, so I was summoned to the test. ”

"I didn't expect the national teacher to ask such a question, could it be that they offended Zunyan?"

Huli Daxian said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, he came yesterday and let go of 500 prisoner monks outside the east gate, smashed the vehicle, broke into the temple at night, destroyed the Sanqing holy elephant, and stole the royal offerings. ”

"I was deceived by him, and I thought it was the lower realm of Tianzun, and I asked for some holy water gold pills, and I wanted to sacrifice to Your Majesty. ”

"I didn't expect him to urinate and coax me to wait. I took a sip of each, tasted the taste, and was about to grab it, but he ran away. ”

"It's still here, it's really a narrow road!"

When Tang Xuanzang heard this, he laughed in his heart, they were embarrassed to talk about such a shameful thing as drinking urine, and they didn't feel panicked!

The king was angry when he heard this, and just wanted to reprimand, but was stopped by Tang Xuanzang.

The king said, "What the national teacher said, did he still wronged you?"

Tang Xuanzang said: "He said that I went outside the city yesterday to release the prisoner monks, and there are no witnesses to this matter, and I don't think I should die." At most, he will be compensated for one monk to accept the guilt. ”

"He said that I ruined Sanqing and made trouble with Guanyu, this is a framed me!"

The king said, "How is it a frame-up?"

Tang Xuanzang quietly retorted: "We are from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and we are not familiar with the place, where can we run to Sanqingguan in the middle of the night?"

"Besides, why did he say that it was my apprentices who were drowning?"

The king could not tell right from wrong because of what he said.

When I was puzzled, I saw the Huangmen official come to play: "Your Majesty, there are many villagers outside the door listening to the announcement." ”

The king asked, "What is the matter?"

In front of the Xuanzhi Palace, there were thirty or forty villagers kowtowing upwards and saying: "Long live, there is no rain this spring, but I am afraid of drought in summer. ”

The king said, "If the townspeople retreat, there will be rain." ”

The townsfolk came out with gratitude.

The king said: "The monks of the Tang Kingdom, I respect the monks and destroy the monks because they begged for rain back then, and I did not ask the monks for half a point. Fortunately, the national teacher came, and the rescue was devastated. ”

"You offended the national teacher, you should be questioned immediately, forgive you. ”

"Do you dare to gamble with our division to win and ask for rain? If you get a good rain, I will immediately exchange Guan Wen with you and let you go west. ”

"If not, you will not be spared!"
