Chapter 4: The Canopy Enters the Heavenly Court
The relationship between the Heavenly Court and the Western Heavens gradually deteriorated, and the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court ordered the Heavenly Court of the Three Realms to enter a state of alert, and the atmosphere in the Three Realms was very tense.
And after the four of Xuanzang were divided, they separated from each other. Xuanzang taught Mahayana Buddhism to all living beings in the Tang Dynasty and saved the world; Sun Wukong, who defeated the Buddha, returned to the Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave and did not ask about the world; Bajie was restored to the position of Tiancang, and could command the Tianhe Water Army, but most of the time he still practiced in the Yunzhan Cave of Fuling Mountain.
The sand monk Wujing is silent in the quicksand river, although it has the name of the heavenly curtain. But since he met the Jade Emperor on the day of the Buddha's fall, he has never been to Heaven again.
The little white dragon was busy with the affairs of the four seas because of the canonization of the dragon king of the four seas, although the four seas also got the will of the Jade Emperor. However, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas all concealed the meaning of the Heavenly Court from Ao Lie, and were unaware of the tense atmosphere in the outside world.
Gao Lao Zhuang, a new temple, this temple plaque is written Bajie Temple, is Gao Lao Zhuang people for the Bajie temple to sing praise. It is the Eight Precepts enshrined in the temple.
Originally, the meaning of the eight precepts was not to allow everyone to build a temple for themselves, but Xuanzang was busy teaching the scriptures and teaching, so he had no time to do the things of building a temple for worship. The monkey is to return to the Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave, all over the mountains are their own monkeys and monkeys, there is no need to build a temple; the quicksand river of the old sand, there has always been a rumor that there are 800 miles of quicksand, and the goose feathers cannot float, and the people are inaccessible, and there is no talk about the temple to worship.
Neither his master nor his brother was enshrined in a temple, but he first did this tree monument and set up a temple to worship, which is really disrespectful.
At the beginning, the eight precepts did not agree to build a temple to worship. But in the end, Miss Gao's family came out to speak and finalized the matter of building the temple.
The Bajie Temple is full of incense day and night, people come and go, and even the nearby villagers come to the Bajie Temple to offer incense, in order to pray for the messenger of the pure altar to protect the peace and tranquility of heaven and earth.
On this day, Bajie was very quiet, and suddenly wanted to go to Heaven to see his old subordinates, since Heaven had restored his position as a canopy, he could lead the naval army. But now five hundred years have passed, and I don't know if my old subordinates will recognize him as a marshal when they see him in this way.
"Hehe, what are you thinking, my old pig is like this now, what's the point of going back. If the Tianhe tribe is really not worthy of my old pig to continue to command, then I will come back. Now that my old pig is being used by the Buddha as the messenger of the pure altar, such a beautiful difference, isn't it better than being looked down upon by others in heaven. "Eight precepts
"However, no matter how good the pure altar is, it can't compare to the days when I drank wine with my brothers and galloped on the battlefield. Bajie said wistfully.
"Well, my old pig will go for a walk, and also go to see the weak water of the river that day. ”
After that, Bajie walked out of the cloud stack cave and drove the clouds to heaven.
At the Heavenly Court and Tianhe, all the departments of the Navy are busy, and because the Heavenly Court troops are in a state of combat readiness, the elites have been transferred. In the past hundred years, the weak water in the Heavenly Court Embankment has been like a pool of stagnant water, and not even a single wave has been raised. The trolls also relaxed their management.
In the past, when the weak water did not churn and the waves did not stir, they hit the embankment and tried to escape from this cage.
Later, when the weak water was the most violent, Tianpeng stood alone and went to the embankment to appease the weak water, at the beginning, the weak water was very resistant, and the reaction was fierce, and the canopy retreated in embarrassment every time.
But later, more than when, the resistance of weak water to the canopy decreased, and although it hit the embankment every day, it was not aimed at the canopy. Tiancang came alone every time, and all the troops of the navy did not disturb him. Later, the weak water calmed down and stopped hitting the embankment every day. The Tianhe Water Military Department rarely had a leisurely time.
But one day, when the canopy was in the future, the weak water was restless, and the originally calm water began to ripple. After another three days, the canopy was still in the future, and the weak water finally broke out, hitting the embankment like madness, and the embankment was crumbling and almost collapsed. The headquarters of the navy did its best to curb the trend of weak water bursting embankments.
But without the Shangbaoxun golden rake in the hands of the canopy, who can fix the power of weak water?
In the end, Lao Jun came, suppressed the weak water, and dismissed the various water armies to wait outside the embankment, not long ago, Lao Jun left, before leaving to inform the water army, the weak water has been sealed, everyone is not allowed to go to the embankment in the future, if the seal is touched by mistake, it will lead to the weak water bursting the embankment, endangering the lower realm.
In the next few days, the weak fruits in the embankment really stopped being turbulent, and the water surface was calm. After that, the weak water is even more like a pool of stagnant water, and there is no wave at all. All the naval forces breathed a sigh of relief, if the weak water broke the embankment, it would be a catastrophe in the Three Realms.
Even the canopy can't afford to take this responsibility. What's more, if Peng has not returned to Marshal Tianhe's Mansion for a few days today, he is nowhere to be found.
A few days later, the Tianhe tribes got the news that after suppressing the monkey that made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Court held a celebration banquet, and Tianpeng was drunk because of greed, and molested Chang'e, and was sued by Chang'e in front of the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor was furious, cut off the three flowers on the top of the canopy, and was demoted to the lower realm.
It was difficult for everyone in the Tianhe Water Military Department to accept it, and they wrote to the Jade Emperor one after another, but the Jade Emperor was unmoved. Forcibly suppressed the matter.
Later, it was that the canopy mistakenly cast into the pig's fetus and changed its appearance. It was lit by Guanyin to protect the east soil to learn scriptures from the west, and gave the law number pig to learn the scriptures, and Xuanzang quit the five meat and three disgusts in Gao Laozhuang because of the canopy, and was given the name of eight precepts by Xuanzang.
After that, the eight precepts Bao Xuanzang traveled 108,000 miles to the west, went through 9981 difficulties, and finally achieved a positive result, and was named the messenger of the pure altar by Rulai. The Heavenly Court also restored the position of the Eight Rings Heavenly Canopy. At this point, the position of Marshal Tianhe, which had been vacant for hundreds of years, finally returned to Tianpeng.
Tianhe guard, this is the periphery of Tianhe, the gate of the gate is written on the four words "Tianhe heavy land", after the Tianhe gate, is the scope of Tianhe. In the center is a large training ground, which is the training and assembly place of the Tianhe defenders.
After the training ground is the marshal's mansion of the canopy, around the marshal's mansion, the general's mansion, the commander's mansion, the general's mansion, and the Tianhe water army. Behind the Marshal's Mansion is the skybank that crosses the sky, and the weak water is behind the skybank.
At the gate of Tianhe, the two guards had nothing to do and began to gag.
"Hey, I said, what does Your Majesty mean by this? If you can't start a war with the Western Heavens, the Heavenly Court is fully prepared for war, and even our Tianhe Water Military Department, the most elite Tianhe Army under the marshal at the beginning, has been withdrawn. If we really start a fight, what if we encounter the marshal? Could it be that we really want to commit a crime and fight the marshal?"
"Who knows what Your Majesty thinks, our duty marshal emphasized when he was there, let's just take care of the weak water of Tianhe. Even if there is a real war, it will not be the two of us. Now that His Majesty has resumed his status as a marshal, but the marshal has not returned for a long time, could it be true that he has been transformed by the bald donkeys in the West Heaven?"
"Shhh
"Hey, let's be in the heavenly court, can't we say a few words about him in the west? Didn't I say you, Lu Ming, when did you kid become so timid, no wonder you kid can only look at a gate, and he can't become a big climate. The guard on the right scoffed.
The guard on the left, known as Lu Ming, blushed, and said angrily: "Don't deceive him, aren't you Tian Heng still here like me watching the gate? If you have the ability, why don't you become a marshal, Lao Tzu doesn't want to be one of those generals, he just wants to see the gate, what's the matter." ”
The guard on the right was just about to speak, and just as he wanted to speak, suddenly a voice came from the air.
"Hehe, what are the two of you discussing, why are you still quarreling? When I was still a marshal, I emphasized more than once that the Tianhe people must not fight among themselves!"
Hearing this, the two guards couldn't hold back their excitement and asked, "Yuan...... Marshal, are you back?"
Bajie drove the clouds to the Tianhe guard, wearing a Buddhist robe, with a red mole at the center of his eyebrows, holding a Baoxun gold rake, and said with a smile, "It's my old pig who is back!"
The two guards looked no longer the handsome and dashing canopy of the year, but a fat-headed pig's head, wearing a robe and holding a Baoxun gold rake, no matter how they looked at it, it didn't look like the canopy of the year.
However, Shangbaoxun Golden Rake is only available to Marshal Tianpeng, who converted to Buddhism because of his meritorious work in learning scriptures. Wearing a robe, holding a nail rake. Surely it must be his own marshal!
The two guards threw themselves on their knees, crying silently.
"Subordinate Lu Ming, first-class guard of the Tianhe Guard, and subordinate to the first-class guard of the Tianhe Hengtianhe Guard. ”
"Meet the marshal!"
Bajie looked at the two guards who were kneeling on the ground and weeping silently, put away the nail rake, and sighed. Take a step forward and pick the two guards up.
Looking at the two guards, Bajie sighed, "I can't imagine that the two brothers still remember my old pig and recognize my old pig as a marshal." My old pig wanted to take a look at this Tianhe today, to see if the brothers still recognize my old pig like this, and whether they recognize my old pig's canopy!"
Lu Ming wiped his tears and said excitedly, "Why did the marshal say this? Could it be that in the marshal's heart, my Tianhe Water Army Department has already become such a villain? The marshal returns today, if someone in Tianhe is disrespectful to the marshal, I, Lu Ming, will not hesitate to commit the following crimes, even if I fight for this life, I will kill this person!"
"Yes, what Lu Ming said is right, no matter what you become Marshal Marshal, you are still Marshal Tianpeng of our Tianhe Water Military Department, five hundred years, Marshal, more than five hundred years!" Speaking of this, Tian Heng choked up.
All of us in the Tianhe Water Army Department are looking forward to the day when you come back, Marshal, and I hope that you will come back to give orders and lead my Tianhe Water Army Department to charge!"
Bajie patted the shoulders of the two of them and said, "When I was demoted to the lower realm, I said that I had a hard time, do you believe it?"
The two hurriedly nodded, "Letter, letter." In the eyes of other heavenly soldiers and generals, they may not know who the marshal is, but who in my Tianhe Water Military Department does not know who the marshal is. We wrote one after another, but His Majesty was unmoved. In the end, General Ling almost led the Tianhe Water Army Department to rebel and correct the marshal's name. ”
"Hehe, General Ling, this person is good at everything, but his temper and wine are not good, when I was an old pig and drank with him, this product actually drank too much and lay in my marshal's mansion and didn't leave!" Bajie said nostalgically.
Later, Taishang Laojun summoned General Ling, but I don't know what to talk about. After General Ling came back, he summoned all the departments of the navy and said, although the marshal has been demoted, I Tianhe must not forget the rules, guard the embankment, and take care of the weak water. One day, the marshal will come back!"
"And today, Marshal, you're finally back!" said the two guards excitedly.
"Hehe, I'm back, but my old pig is like this, how can I command the Tianhe water army again. Although His Majesty has resumed the position of marshal, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to sit in the position of marshal anymore. Bajie stared at the two guards, these were his brothers who had been born and died, and said seriously.
"What does the marshal mean by this? The last general is bold, is the marshal abandoning his brother's past brotherhood and ignoring his brother's affection in the past? Or is the marshal now arrogant and arrogant as the messenger of the Pure Altar under the seat of the Buddha of the Western Heavens, and my Tianhe Water Military Department can't afford to climb high?" Tian Heng puffed up his chest and asked.
"Tian Heng, how do you talk to the marshal?" Lu Ming pulled Tian Heng beside him, and then bent down with his fists and said, "The marshal suddenly wants to blame." ”
Bajie smiled, "Hehe, isn't the temper of my old pig's own brother still unclear?" Tian Heng is right, it's my old pig who is narrow-minded and looks down on his brothers. Also, Tian Heng, you have to remember that my old pig is a brother and a marshal in front of you, not the messenger of the Buddha Sect Pure Altar!"
When Tian Heng heard this, he knelt on the ground with a thud, "The last general commands! The last general just said wild words, please punish the marshal!"
Bajie shook his head helplessly and pulled Tian Heng up, "Why, it's been five hundred years, you kid haven't even forgotten the rules set by my old pig back then?
Tian Heng stood up, rubbed his hands, looked at the appearance of Bajie now, and said angrily, "Marshal, you have suffered!"
"It's okay," Bajie waved his hand, "I'm still alive, my brother still recognizes me, and now I'm still Marshal Tianpeng, isn't this better than the days when I was demoted to the Nether and became a demon in the Nether!"
"This, marshal, do you want the last general to gather the men and horses of all the departments of our navy army, so that the brothers will also know that you are back?" Lu Ming asked tentatively.
"Hey, don't worry, my old pig came back today, I really want to see your brothers, but my old pig still wants to go to the embankment to see the weak water first. Speaking of this, Bajie paused for a moment and said with infinite melancholy, "I haven't seen her for five hundred years, is she okay in the Tiandi?"
