Chapter 12: The Stone Bridge
The Western Buddhist world sent people to communicate, and a group of bald-headed monks stepped into the world. Leading the team were the eldest disciple Ananda and the second disciple Jin Chanzi, the lord of the Buddha realm, and the emperor allowed them to observe in the heavenly realm and the earthly realm, and they could also play in the human world.
The first stop of a group of monks is the world, and the Zhou Dynasty is already the fifth king, called Ji Man, who governs the country very well, and the princes also support it. Ananda and Jin Chanzi went to the country of Qi first, and Ji Fa gave Jiang Shang the kingdom that year.
We've been keeping an eye on them in the underworld, and we're really curious about a bunch of hairless people. A group of people gathered in the Yan Jun Palace, using the mirror refined by the boss to watch, and the eighth child introduced their origins to us from time to time. When he went to the Buddha realm to communicate before, he learned a lot of things, and Ananda and Jin Chanzi also knew each other.
Yan Jun has been together for less recently, and the monks feel tired of watching it for a while, so they chatted with each other and talked with each other.
Daji suddenly exclaimed in the mirror, and we all looked at her.
She pointed to the mirror: "This monk seems... Guilty of nymphomaniac......"
We looked over and saw Ananda standing on the street, staring blankly at the woman who had just walked by, her eyes full of love. The golden cicada pulled him on the side, but he didn't move.
The second child hurriedly said, "Quickly find out who that woman is?"
The fourth child hurriedly flipped through the book of life and death, and said, "The daughter of a fisherman in Qi is twenty-eight years old. The first ten lives were also ordinary people, not cultivators. ”
The boss slapped the table and shouted: "This monk is really a demonic barrier, Yue Lao won't be the wrong one, right????"
The sixth child immediately took out the bamboo slip and sent a letter to Yue Lao! Yi Zhi quietly watched the tricks of this group of old immortals!
The Celestial Realm was obviously also paying attention to this matter, and the reply from the old moon arrived quickly.
The old man said that he had done nothing, and that he was very innocent!
The sixth man touched his head and said, "Yue Lao didn't do anything, this monk is really stupid!"
Jin Chanzi was also very helpless there, his senior brother used to be very reliable, why did he make a joke when he just arrived at the realm this time.
Hurriedly summoned to his master Rulai, and the image of Rulai soon appeared in front of Ananda. The Emperor of Heaven seems to be also paying attention, without the permission of the Emperor of Heaven, it is impossible to spread the Fa across borders.
Rulai cut off the ears and eyes of mortals, hesitated for a moment, but still did not cut off the eyes of the heavenly realm and the underworld.
Jin Chanzi pushed Ananda again, but there was still no response.
Rulai asked him, "Ananda, how are you?"
Ananda said stupidly: "I fell in love with a woman. ”
Rulai asked him again, "How much do you like it?"
"I would like to be incarnated as a stone bridge, and be blown by the wind for five hundred years, the sun for five hundred years, and the rain for five hundred years, just begging her to walk across the bridge." ”
Rulai sighed and said, "How much do you like the woman who passed by, so that you gave up your life and was willing to suffer from love?"
Ananda didn't answer anymore, but just watched in the direction where the woman had disappeared.
Rulai said to the sky: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, my disciple is stupid, please ask Your Majesty to fulfill him." ”
The voice of the Heavenly Emperor came from the heavenly realm to the underworld, and his voice was a little scattered, and he said: "Leave this matter to all Yan Jun to do, he may as well give it to him if he asks for the wind and sun." ”
We respectfully replied, "Respect the will of the Emperor of Heaven!"
After replying to the Heavenly Emperor, the boss looked at Rulai, who was still waiting for a reply, and then looked at the other nine Yan Jun, and said, "Which of you is going to do it? I am Da Luo Jinxian, and I am too shocked to leave the underworld." ”
The second child shook his head and said, "The methods I cultivate are all used in battle, and I can't do this without such subtlety." ”
The fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh bodies shook their heads, they were all autopsy immortals, and their mana would be damaged a lot in the world.
The eighth child was a little embarrassed, and he was still praising Ananda for his high understanding just now. excused: "I met them, and it was too embarrassing to meet at this time." ”
The seven of them looked at me and Yi Zhi in unison, and Yi Zhi shook his head and said, "I can't do it either, my cultivation is too short, and I can't turn people into stone bridges." ”
I reluctantly took this matter, I really didn't want to go out recently, if it weren't for Yan Jun gathering onlookers, I would still be nesting there in Huaicheng. Daji has helped me a lot, and I'm a lot easier than they are.
Get up and go out, go through the ghost gate, and go to see Rulai.
Rulai was still waiting for the Emperor's reply, but he didn't expect that he didn't wait for the Emperor of Heaven to speak, but waited for a Yan Jun.
I knew that many immortals were looking at this place now, so I did enough etiquette and said, "Lord Buddha, Your Majesty has sent a decree to the underworld, ordering me to come, all Ananda asks." ”
Rulai nodded with a smile and said, "With Lao Yanjun, if you have leisure in the future, you might as well come to the West for a visit." ”
I smiled in response.
Rulai told his disciple again: "You continue to go to the heavenly realm and the earth to communicate, don't care about Ananda, he will come back after the end of his love." The golden cicada will be led by you. ”
The golden cicada's jaw is said to be.
Rulai scattered the spell and returned to the West.
Jin Chanzi said respectfully: "There is Lao Jun on it!"
I nodded, looked at Ananda, and Ananda went to the river ahead of me and turned into a stone bridge.
The appearance of the stone bridge surprised many mortals, there was no bridge over the river in the first place.
When the mortals came over, I had already returned to the underworld, leaving only Jin Chanzi and other monks in the same place, and Jin Chanzi and the others pretended that nothing had happened and continued to tour the world.
The folk customs of Qi are very simple, and all kinds of strange sayings have only been passed on for two days, and then no one mentions them. Many people had crossed the bridge, but the woman had never been.
The Emperor of Heaven said that he would give him everything he wanted, then there would be no less at all, 1,500 years of wind and sun and rain, and there would never be a day less. Ananda still has a long time to wait.
The Yan monarchs held a party at the house of the tenth elder Yi Zhi that night.
Du Kang made a few new jars of good wine, all of which were moved by the fifth child.
The second child said, "Do you think it's worth it for Ananda to do this? For the sake of a woman, I don't want to practice." ”
The fourth child clenched the woman's hand and said, "Naturally, it's worth it, you ruffian, you won't understand!"
He and his wife are really like glue now, and they can't be separated for a day... I don't know where the fourth child's Taoism has regressed......
Lao Qi also said: "Love is the most beautiful thing in the world, and no amount of pain can offset that beautiful joy." ”
Daji wept silently on the side, she was touched by the monk Ananda today.
Lao Wu expressed his opinion: "Although the love is good, the Tao is even more wonderful, and it is far better than the love of children in the question." ”
The sixth child was very indifferent and said: "Love is the suffering of living beings, it is better to have less or less." ”
I watched them talk, silently drinking.
Yi Zhi was a happy husband and wife in the world, with a group of children, and said with a smile: "Each has its own feelings, how can it be exactly the same? Drink, drink!"
We continued to drink, and I asked Lao Wu, "I heard that Du Kang has been researching wine that can get drunk with immortals recently, how is it going?"
Lao Wu patted the wine jar and said: "This is the latest achievement, there is no problem with drunken ghosts and monks, but it will not work when he reaches the earth immortal, he is working hard, and he handed over an application to the Heavenly Emperor last year, hoping to go to the Heavenly Realm to pick some fruits and make wine, and the Heavenly Emperor approved this year." ”
I pointed at Daji and said, "Let Daji go with him, let the sixth lead the team, and the business of bamboo slips can be sold to the heavenly realm, and it can also be regarded as more income for the underworld!"
The boss clapped his hands and said: "Okay! Bring Meng Po soup with you, let Daji do some publicity in the heavenly realm, beautiful women and good products, I don't believe that this group of immortals won't buy it!"
The sixth also agreed: "Just do it, I'll go tomorrow, and by the way, take the useless things that the fifth child got back from the world last time to give gifts!"
Lao Wu nodded, the last time he went to the human world to get copper seeds and bamboo, he got back a lot of things that ghosts need, but he made too many of them, and there are still a lot of them left, just to open the eyes of the group of turtles in the heavenly realm!
The eldest fell to the ground, watching the changes in the sky, and the second took the wine jar and shook it around. The fourth child and the woman are snuggling up to each other, you and me. The fifth and eighth are still fighting for wine, two fools, and they can't tell the difference between winning and losing after fighting for 10,000 years. The sixth child was planning to go to the formation of the heavenly realm tomorrow, and the seventh child was watching the fourth husband and wife stupidly happy! Yi Zhi leaned in front of the room and rubbed his head, it was really too messy.
Daji sat on the floor and asked me to sit on her shoulder, but she pulled me over, but I didn't want to.
"Thank you, your lordship. ”
I knew that she was thankful for arranging for her to go to the heavenly realm with the team, so she said: "There is nothing to thank, the sixth child will take you to familiarize yourself with the heavenly realm, you have to remember it, in the future, the underworld will send people to the heavenly realm, you will lead the team, and there are many days to go to Zhongtian." ”
She rubbed my forehead very gently, I have to say that this is really comfortable, and I said: "Bo Yi Kao is now the Emperor Ziwei, holding the longitude and latitude of heaven and earth, and the stars change." If you have succeeded in your cultivation, or you have forgotten your feelings, you should not be too stupid. ”
Daji nodded, I could see the expectations in her heart, many of them would be disappointed in the end, I don't like to see people crying after their hopes were disappointed, although the ghost doesn't cry, but the sad look is also very annoying.
"Yo, you are tender and sweet!" the woman came over at some point and mocked me and Daji.
I don't pay attention to her, this woman's cultivation has almost fallen to the ground, she doesn't care about her cultivation all day long, she only cares about falling in love, gossiping everywhere, this woman wasn't like this when she first came down!
Daji blushed and continued to rub my head.
Alas, it hurts the brain!
The team that went to the heavenly realm, there were dozens of big ghosts and small ghosts. The sixth leader of the team, Daji and Du Kang followed behind him, followed by a group of ghosts, holding Meng Po soup, bamboo slips, and other messy things.
The sixth took stock of the ghost count and set off.
The Yama monarchs returned to the city again.
After Daji left, I was a lot busy, why don't I get Bo Xi over to help? He was named a ghost with Daji and Ji Dan a while ago, and he is still responsible for collecting ghosts in the world.
Shaking his head, Bo Xi's fight is still successful, forget about government affairs, when will there be another death in the world like Yi Zhi and Ji Dan? Alas, let's work first.
The currency of the prefecture has begun to be issued, and it looks very much like a farmer's shovel, and Ji Chang said that there is this style used in the world. It feels so ugly! And it's not convenient to carry it at all!
I originally wanted to ask him to change it, but Ji Chang has not been in a good mood recently, and his grandson of many generations fell in love with a woman, and then... The woman's name is Bao Xi, and after coming down, Ji Chang went to take a look, and was embarrassed to scold her, she couldn't put all the fault on a concubine, so she went to find his grandson who was in hell and gave him a hard beating. At last... Ji Chang was sentenced to carry stones for three years in a newly built town for maliciously injuring the criminal.
The specifications of the copper coin... Let's use it like that......
The ghosts still accept this currency very much, after the notice was posted in the underworld, the first batch of ghosts who got the copper coins were the two groups of hired ghosts who minted money and made bamboo slips, these two groups of ghosts took the money and went to Meng Po to consume, Meng Po saved a small mountain of copper coins in two days, and she spent money to hire ghosts to help her make soup, and handed over some simple soups to the hired ghosts to do, and soon formed an industry!
Du Kang also opened a tavern in Lao Wu's city, selling some newly developed wine, which can get drunk with ordinary ghosts! It is said that there are a few ghosts who are frustrated in the world, and they go to his tavern every day to get drunk and dream to death. Oh... They're dead, and they should be called drunk!
Yan Jun is deliberately promoting some industries, such as Meng Po's soup, such as Ji Chang's bamboo slips, and Du Kang's wine.
The underworld is much more prosperous than before, and there are more ghosts and ghosts that can be supported.
Approved a bunch of judges' official documents, and sent back the omissions for re-sentencing. I suddenly wanted to go for a walk around town... Just go.
The place enclosed by Huaicheng is very large, but only part of it is actually used, and the ghosts living in the city all surround the two-story small building where Yan Jun works, spreading outward in circles.
There are a lot of new things in the city, a group of good ghosts learned from Meng Po to open a soup shop, and some learned from Du Kang to open a tavern, but they didn't do it well, and there were no ghosts.
Meng Po and Du Kang have become the new rich people in the underworld!
Yi Zhi thinks they should pay taxes!
We thought about it for a while, so we casually set a tax rate of 100 taxes and 1 for use.
In recent years, the world has become more and more unpeaceful, after the king of Zhou moved eastward, the princes no longer respected the Zhou royal family, and the Chu state in the south rebelled every now and then. All small countries fought back and forth, and in the end they were swallowed up by the big ones.
There are fewer and fewer men in the world who can live past the age of forty, and it will take a long time to wait and see the luck of the world.
Ji Dan was very depressed in the engineering team, why didn't he work with the patriarchal system and the feudal system at the beginning?
It's not that he can't see the rise and fall, but he is simply thinking about the loopholes in his original policy.
Later, it was Ji Chang who enlightened him while carrying stones.
"Time changes, how can there be 10,000 years of unchanged, it would be good to be able to survive 500 years, now it seems that the world can last for a while, and the minimum is about the same as Yin Shang's lifespan, you can be content!"
Ji Dan got up again and went to build the city wall.
In fact, the Yan monarchs didn't understand why they wanted the city wall? In the past, they were in the human world to guard against the enemy, but now the underworld is their own people, no... It's your own ghost, who is it to prevent???
It's just a matter of habit, and no one asks.
Looking at the direction of the Heavenly Realm, the sixth child had already led the team to the Heavenly Palace, and first dedicated Meng Po soup and bamboo slips to the Emperor of Heaven, and the Emperor of Heaven dared to be very interested in bamboo slips!
With a stroke of the pen, the underworld is all covered by the heavenly realm except for its own use! The first business is very big! Meng Po soup has also been ordered, and the gods of the heavenly realm will try it!
Du Kang led a team of people alone, and under Taibai's lead, picked fresh fruits everywhere, and even got a few peaches. Taibai was looking forward to being able to get drunk with the wine of the gods, and he had never understood that mortals would get drunk when they drank alcohol.
The sixth child took Daji to visit around, and naturally Zhongtian was indispensable.
It's a pity that there are too many new official documents, and I don't have time to continue reading, so I keep working!
Most of the lives of new ghosts are easy to judge, although the folk customs of the world have become a little strong, but they still maintain this simple and simple nature, human nature is not complicated, and what they do is not complicated.
It's not easy to judge the ghosts who commit crimes in the underworld.,These ghosts are usually trivial things that scold ghosts and fight ghosts.,But there are as many as cow hair.,Ghosts are always restraining their emotions because of a lot of things before they die.,Even if you dislike each other, you will hide it.,Talk and laugh.。 But if you die, you don't need to hide, anyway, if you die, what are you afraid of?
These things are very troublesome, and Daji used to help deal with a large part of them, but now that she is not there, she has to do it herself.
