Chapter Eighty-Seven: With a flick of a finger, the sea becomes a mulberry field
"Is the Jade Emperor willing to let my grandson out?" The Great Sage sat cross-legged on the chair when he heard this, and he was really upset about the observation in this Wuzhuang, in addition to meditating every day, he watched the preaching of Yuanzi in that town, and for twenty years, the Great Sage felt that every day was like a year.
"My old pig and Lao Sha, Ao Lie and the three of them pleaded with His Majesty the Jade Emperor, and Lao Jun also comforted him on the side, now His Majesty has relented, Brother Monkey, you can go back to Huaguo Mountain." Bajie said happily.
Before, for the sake of the Great Sage, Bajie spent a lot of effort to intercede, and in the end, perhaps the Jade Emperor was also tired of listening to it, and promised to let the monkey go back.
But if this monkey doesn't obey the discipline after he goes back, I'm afraid that next time he won't think about it in this Wuzhuang Temple, and he will go directly to Chonghua Palace.
"Aha!" Da Shengle slapped his thigh, "Okay, my grandson can finally go back to Huaguo Mountain." ”
"Senior brother, although you can go back this time, if you poke the incident again, the Jade Emperor will imprison you in Chonghua Palace!" Sha Wujing reminded.
No one knows their senior brother's temperament and temperament better than them, and if they don't agree with each other, they will make trouble in the Heavenly Palace again, if it weren't for Zhen Yuanzi to come forward, I'm afraid that his senior brother will be suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain again.
"This depends on the Jade Emperor's second child, if he targets my demon clan again, I won't give him face!" said the monkey with a big sting.
The country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, and the monkey's temper is difficult to change even if he is now a Buddha.
"Brother Monkey, now that you have achieved the positive result of cultivation, don't get involved in other things. Besides, now that several ancestor-level demons of the demon clan are in the world, why do you want to ask for hardship anymore?" Bajie advised.
"Uh!" the Great Sage scolded when he heard this, "You idiot, what are you talking nonsense, even if my grandson has achieved positive results now, I can't watch my brother suffer in vain!"
"Okay, well, it's my old pig who said the wrong thing. Bajie saw that the monkey was a little angry, and said softly.
"Senior brother, after you go out, I invite you to drink in the West Sea!" said the little white dragon Ao Lie smiled.
"Hehe, then you can't run away from this meal! Last time you had a meal of wine in my Huaguo Mountain, this time it's my turn!"
"Since that's the case, let's not delay Zhenyuanzi Daxian Qingxiu, hurry up and leave!" The monkey was impatient to get out of the Wuzhuang Temple.
Bajie and the others got up and were about to retreat, but Zhen Yuanzi, who didn't interject, spoke.
"Wait, you can leave the Wuzhuang Temple of the Poor Road, but this monkey can't go!"
"Well, you old way, now that the Jade Emperor has promised to let me go, why don't you let me go?" the Great Sage said angrily when he heard this.
Zhen Yuanzi was not annoyed, and said lightly, "Anyone can leave this Wuzhuang Temple today, but this monkey can't go! Fifty years of suppression time, not a day less!"
The Great Sage was furious when he heard this, reached out and took out an iron rod in his ear, smashed it on the ground with a bang, and pointed at Zhen Yuanzi.
"You old way, do you have to force me to do it?"
Bajie saw that this posture was about to start, and hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to Zhen Yuanzi Daxian and said, "I don't know where my senior brother offended Daxian, and I ask Daxian to point it out." ”
Zhen Yuanzi shook his head slightly, "This monkey has nothing to offend me. ”
"Could it be that Daxian is still angry about my senior brother's overturning of the ginseng fruit tree that day, and refuses to let my senior brother go?" asked again.
"No, no. Zhen Yuanzi still shook his head, "The ginseng fruit tree has found a cure for the monkey back then, and the poor Dao is not that petty person." ”
"Since my senior brother has not offended the Great Immortal, and the Second Great Immortal is not a stingy person, now that the Jade Emperor has promised to release my senior brother in advance, why should the Great Immortal stop it?" asked Ao Lie.
"If it weren't for Poor Dao not letting him go, if he left now, he would definitely be killed and robbed! Poor Dao was protecting him!"
Hearing the murder and robbery, Bajie and the others were shocked in their hearts, and then Sha Wujing asked respectfully, "I don't know if the Great Immortal can tell me carefully?"
Unexpectedly, Zhen Yuanzi still shook his head, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, and I will forgive you for the poor and have nothing to say!"
Bang-The iron rod in the hand of the great sage slammed to the ground, "You old Taoist young man coaxed me, what kind of killing and robbery, you just want to continue to imprison me!"
"What Poor Dao said is true, you must not forget your own identity! As long as you leave Wuzhuang Temple today, that person will definitely find you!" Zhen Yuanzi said in a roundabout way.
This made the three of Bajie listen in a fog and confused. What identity of his senior brother will lead to murder, and who is the one in Zhen Yuanzi's mouth?
"Of course, if you really want to leave Wuzhuang Temple with an iron heart today, Poor Dao will not stop you, and at that time, even if Poor Dao wants to protect you, he won't be able to protect you!" Zhen Yuanzi's attitude changed sharply.
"Is that true?" the Great Sage asked in disbelief.
"If you can't believe in the poor way, you can leave today!" Zhen Yuanzi waved his robe, and the enchantment that had shrouded Wuzhuang Temple for twenty years was withdrawn.
Seeing Zhen Yuanzi's behavior, Bajie and several people were speechless, Zhen Yuanzi's approach must be to protect his senior brother, if there is really a killing robbery, the senior brother listened to the advice of himself and others and left today, wouldn't it be that he pushed the senior brother into a killing and robbery that will never be recovered.
After a long time, the Great Sage finally made a move, moved his hand, put away the iron rod, and then angrily walked to the chair next to him and sat down.
"Let's go, why don't I stay for another thirty years!" the Great Sage waved his hand and motioned for Bajie and the others to leave.
"Brother Monkey, let's go first, and after thirty years, we'll go to Huaguo Mountain to see you!" Bajie said cautiously.
"Get out, get out, why are you still dangling in front of my grandson like a fly like learning scriptures, get out!" said the great sage unhappily.
The three of Bajie saluted to Zhen Yuanzi Daxian, and then retired.
"Bright moon and clear breeze, send the three of you away on behalf of the teacher!" Zhen Yuanzi commanded.
The two of them received the order, and then sent the three of Bajie out of Wuzhuang Temple all the way.
In the main hall, the Great Sage looked at Zhen Yuanzi angrily, "You bull-nosed old man, give me an explanation, why can't I leave today?"
Zhen Yuanzi sat down with his eyes and nose and heart, and said, "If you leave today, I will definitely find you and take your seven exquisite hearts!"
"Why? He promised me that as long as the monk of the Tang Dynasty succeeded in learning the scriptures, he would make me a Buddha, and now that it has been done, I have also achieved the right result of the Buddha, why did he cross the river and tear down the bridge to kill me?" asked the great sage puzzled.
"You say that you are good at listening to sounds, that you can perceive reason, that you know before and after, and that everything is clear. It's sad not to see this!" Zhen Yuanzi shook his head helplessly.
"The matter of learning scriptures, in fact, Buddhism appeared in order to continue the immortality of the Buddhas, whether you or the real monkey, they are all chess pieces of Rulai and Buddhism, and now that the time is calculated, it is time to harvest the fruits!" Zhen Yuanzi said amazingly.
On this day, in the Wuzhuang Guan Palace, Zhen Yuanzi and the Great Sage didn't know what to say, and the last iron rod broke through the dome of the Wuzhuang Guan Hall, which caused the disciples in the Guan to be very dissatisfied.
Time does not stop, another twenty years have passed, and in the blink of an eye, the completion of the study of the scriptures, Xuanzang has left in the Tang Dynasty Transmission Temple for forty years.
On this day, in the palace of the Tang Dynasty in the eastern soil, there was a gloomy cloud, Emperor Taizong had been seriously ill for a long time, and the Tai Doctor in the Tang Dynasty had been unable to return to heaven for a long time.
In the dormitory, Emperor Taizong's hair was white, and he was thin and lying on the dragon bed, panting for breath in his mouth. The crown prince, who was the prince, was kneeling in front of the bed at this time.
A eunuch walked in lightly, then knelt down lightly, and said softly, "Your Highness, the minister has something important to play!"
The prince got up slightly, then exited the palace and closed the door.
"Have you all come back, is there any news of Master Xuanzang?" the prince asked.
"Your Highness, the Praetorian Guards of more than thirty roads have returned, and they still haven't found the whereabouts of Master Xuanzang!"
"Hmph!" the prince slammed his fist on the white-clothed railing in front of him, and said through gritted teeth, "My father is seriously ill, and Xuanzang said goodbye more than forty years ago, so there is no news!"
"Now that my father is seriously ill, how can he not know with Xuanzang's methods! But since he knows, why doesn't he come back? Could it be that when he has achieved positive results in cultivation, he looks down on us mortals?"
Suddenly, a rapid cough came from the palace, and the prince's face changed, and he hurriedly pushed the door in.
On the dragon bed, Emperor Taizong had closed his eyes, and the prince knelt in front of the bed, looking at Taizong, who had passed away, and cried.
"Taizong is dead! Taizong is dead! Taizong is dead!" the eunuch's shrill voice spread higher and higher in the palace.
In the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong, the British lord of the Tang Dynasty, passed away, and the whole country of the Tang Dynasty mourned.
In the autumn of the same year, after the national funeral, the crown prince succeeded to the throne and changed the name of the year to Yonghui and the title of Gaozong.
After Gaozong succeeded to the throne, he ordered that the Tang Dynasty should not respect the Buddha from now on, and that there would be no forgiveness for those who talked about learning scriptures in vain!
Another five years have passed, and a monk from Xiniu Hezhou, like a wandering spirit, set foot on the land of the Eastern Tang Dynasty. This time, he came to visit the Eastern soil monk who walked 108,000 miles and went through 9981 difficulties to obtain the true scriptures, Tang Xuanzang.
So he came to the Tang Dynasty in the east of the country, just to pay homage to the homeland of the Buddhist monk Xuanzang.
The monk set foot on the land of the Tang Dynasty and walked in the neighborhood market, because he didn't know where the Tang Chuan Jing Temple was, so he walked to a stall and asked, "Amitabha, does the donor know where the Datang Chuan Jing Temple is?"
Looking at this exotic monk, the vendor asked a little strangely, "What are you doing inquiring about the Chuan Jing Temple?"
"I heard that it is the temple where the Taoist monk Tang Xuanzang preached the scriptures, and the poor monk came to visit!" the monk replied truthfully.
"Which one is Tang Xuanzang? I haven't heard of it, by the way, the temple you are talking about was closed down five years ago. You are a foreigner, I advise you to leave early, if you are seen by the officers and soldiers, you will have your good fruit to eat!" the hawker kindly reminded.
The monk shook his head, unwilling to give up, and asked all the way, but the traders in this market said that they didn't know Tang Xuanzang, and they all said the same, the temple was closed five years ago, and there was no so-called scripture learner in Chang'an, and no one even remembered his rumors.
After many inquiries, the monk finally came to a dilapidated temple, the broken bricks and tiles, through the smashed plaque, the monk vaguely distinguished the word "Sutra", and finally knew that this dilapidated temple was once built by Emperor Taizong for Xuanzang.
Click-clack-dull footsteps mingled with the neighing of horses, and a group of Praetorian Guards arrived and surrounded the monk.
The leader of the general sat on horseback, pointed to the monk and said loudly, "Your Majesty has a decree, no Buddha shall be respected and respected in Chang'an City, and monks will not be allowed to step into Chang'an City.
"Arrest this monk and drive him out of Chang'an City!" the leader ordered.
A few soldiers were about to move forward and tie up the monk, but the monk suddenly turned into a puff of smoke and dissipated in front of everyone. A soft sigh rang out.
"With the flick of a finger, the sea has become a mulberry field! Nearly 10,000 years of preparation and reincarnation, in the end, in exchange for such a result? If you come, I really fell for you!"
