Chapter 268: The Three Saints of Che Chi Country
Tang Ying said to the two Wukongs, "Wukong, you go with me to make amends to the Lord of Water, we are late, but we have caused him to suffer a lot." ”
After Tang Ying finished speaking, Bai Wukong, who is also the real Monkey King, said, "Okay, shall we go now?" ”
Black Wukong, that is, the six-eared macaque, said with a disdainful face, "Make amends, is there a mistake?" Obviously, we saved them, okay? ”
At this time, the daughter of the water god came out and said, "The little woman has seen Master Sanzang. ”
"Oh, are you the daughter of the god of water? What's your name? Tang Ying asked.
The daughter of the god of water said, "My name is Shui'er. ”
"Oh, water?" Tang Ying couldn't help but sigh, this name is very good, is it Shui'er? It happens to be related to water, and it's a really good name.
Shui'er nodded and said, "Mage, don't dare to bother the mage, I'll go tell my father." ”
"No," Tang Ying shook her head and said, "If you go by yourself, I'm afraid you won't be able to win the trust of your father, so it's better for us to accompany you." ”
Then under Tang Ying's strong request, Shui'er had no choice but to agree, and the group went to the place where the water god was imprisoned, the water god of the Heishui River was a thousand-year-old turtle, he heard Tang Ying say, saved his daughter, and saw his daughter with his own eyes, and finally believed.
The water god returned to the Water God Mansion and was grateful to Tang Ying, and said, "Master Sanzang, you saved my daughter and saved me, it stands to reason that I should repay you, but my treasures have been snatched away by that monster, I don't know where to hide, there is really nothing to repay, only some mundane gold and silver, I'm afraid the mage can't look down on it." ”
"Who's to say you can't look down on it?" Tang Ying shook his head, what's wrong with ordinary gold and silver, in the real world or other reincarnation worlds, this ordinary gold and silver are all good things.
"I love ordinary gold and silver." Tang Ying said.
"Really, that's great, I'll give all my gold and silver treasures to the mage." The god of water said.
"I'm sorry for you." Tang Ying nodded, and saw the water god take out a bag, this was not an ordinary bag, but a Qiankun bag with space inside, he turned the Qiankun bag open and poured out the contents inside.
A large pile of gold and silver artifacts appeared in front of Tang Ying, which didn't look too small, almost as many as a few thousand taels.
Tang Ying was not polite, and with a wave of his hand, he directly used the reincarnation space to collect it.
Seeing Tang take away the gold and silver, the water god was still a little guilty, feeling that he couldn't repay the kindness, but in fact, Tang Ying had already received the return, this time the task was another side quest, and he directly got 1000 reincarnation points.
Bidding farewell to the god of water, the god of water personally asked his daughter to send Tang Ying and his party to the other side of the river.
Tang Ying and the others were sent across the river and continued to travel west, walking for three months, and there was nothing to do, and gradually felt that maybe the next road would be safe and sound.
But peace is relative, there will always be an accident, this day a few people were walking, suddenly heard the sound of shouting from the front.
"Hey, what's that sound?" Sun Wukong said.
Tang Ying said, "Wukong, go and have a look." ”
Sun Wukong nodded, and then flew in the direction where the sound came, and flew to the place where the sound came from, and saw a group of monks on the ground pulling the cart, these monks seemed to be not very smart, obviously they could use oxen to pull the cart, but they didn't use oxen to pull the cart, they were all using people to pull the cart, next to this group of monks there were four or five Taoist priests with whips in their hands, and occasionally saw which monk was lazy and didn't do it, so he walked over and whipped it fiercely, and then beat and said, "I let you be lazy, I let you be lazy!" "The face is very hateful.
Sun Wukong didn't feel angry, along the way, he didn't know how much he had seen bullying the weak like this, Tang Ying rarely cared about this kind of idle thing, time was varied, each was different, everyone was suffering, so he had to go to the west to learn scriptures, ask for scriptures, and live the world, so that their hearts no longer felt pain.
Pain comes from the heart, and if the heart is tempered, then there will be no more pain, which is also the meaning of learning from the scriptures.
There are thousands of calamities to learn from the scriptures, each calamity, represents a kind of suffering in the human world, Sun Wukong uses force to solve the calamity, this is a helpless move, the real Buddha does not need force, but to use the power of Buddhism to measure, the power of Buddhism is not a force, but the power of people's hearts.
Therefore, many Dharma masters who are advanced in Buddhism do not need to exert their mana, and with just a few words, they can make their enemies wake up and change their views.
Buddha is a power that comes from within.
Sun Wukong watched these monks suffering in front of him, he didn't feel anything in his heart, and was about to leave.
At this time, a monk suddenly knelt down and said, "Heavens, don't you have eyes?" We are devout to the Buddha, why should we suffer this kind of suffering? ”
Sun Wukong couldn't help but shake his head, this person's Dharma cultivation is really too bad, just some flesh and skin suffering, he can't bear it, he doesn't ask the Buddha for help, he actually asks the sky for help, this Buddha's cultivation is too bad.
Sun Wukong directly turned into a monk, and then walked over.
Several Taoist priests saw a monk coming over and looked at him.
A Taoist priest came over and said, "Monk from afar, we don't welcome you in Che Chi Country, so please take a detour." ”
"Why don't you welcome me?" Sun Wukong asked.
"No, we are in the country of Che Chi, and monks are not welcome, that's all." They said.
"Oh, it's that simple?" Sun Wukong asked.
"Yes, it's that simple." The other party said.
"Then I tell you, I don't like Taoist priests, don't appear in my sight." Sun Wukong is-for-tat.
"You don't like it? Don't you like useful? There are four of us, and you are only one. The Taoist priest said.
"One? I don't think so. Sun Wukong walked up to the monks and said to them, "Everyone, the time has come to resist, they are only four people, but they enslave dozens of us, are you so willing to be oppressed by them?" ”
A monk said, "Master, you are a monk from afar, I don't know the situation of my Che Chi country, it's not that I can't resist, but it's useless to resist." ”
"How?" Sun Wukong asked.
The monk said, "Our King Che Chi State, three years ago named three national teachers, respectively called Huli Great Sage, Yang Li Great Sage, Luli Great Sage, these three national teachers are all Taoist masters, since then, under the instigation of the three national teachers, I Che Chi Guo will respect the Taoist alone, and then all the monks were arrested, in the name of spreading dissent, all of them were arrested in prison, we are now here to do hard labor and be locked up again, we are all Che Chi people, the homeland is difficult to leave, I would rather endure such torture, still unwilling to escape. ”
"Hehe, it's called the Great Sage." Sun Wu sneered, in the past, he called himself the Monkey King, but today he met three Taoists who called themselves the Great Sage in this small Chechi country and said that they couldn't try their depth.
Sun Wukong returned to Tang Ying's side and told what he had seen After listening to Tang Ying, he realized that he had come to Chechi Country, and the three great sages were actually three monsters, namely the tiger demon, the sheep demon, and the deer demon.
But now Dao art is unpopular, and all kinds of inheritances are cut off, which can be said to be no better than in ancient times, as for what happened, it has a lot to do with the establishment of Heavenly Court.
After the establishment of Heavenly Court, a new god mode was enabled, as long as Heavenly Court felt that you could become an immortal, you could directly turn you into an immortal and get it on the god list, although such an immortal is only a pseudo-immortal, and it is completely controlled by Heavenly Court, Heavenly Court makes you live when you are born, and you die when you die, there is no right to speak at all, it can only be said that it is a dog sealed by Heavenly Court.
Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs.
Heaven is unkind, and the gods are used as lackeys.
This is a time when there are as many gods as dogs, and the real power is busy doing other things.
After listening to Sun Wukong's narration, Tang Ying decided to go to Che Chi to meet the three saints.
Tang Ying took two Wukong, Zhu Bajie Sha Monk, and Little White Dragon, and entered the territory of Che Chi Country With the entry of Che Chi Country, the news quickly spread to the palace, Tang Ying represents the Tang Dynasty after all, and the Tang Dynasty is strong, even a small country like Che Chi has heard of the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, and hurriedly summoned Tang Ying into the palace.
Tang Ying took five apprentices and entered the palace, and saw the emperor of Che Chi Kingdom, of course, it was different from what he was on TV, this emperor of Che Chi Guo had a majestic look on his face, and he looked very powerful.
I don't know why, I didn't see the three saints.
Tang Ying bowed slightly, and then said, "Your Majesty also asks you to change Guan Wen for me and let me go west as soon as possible." ”
"What's the hurry?" The king's wife was very beautiful, shook her head and said, "Master Tang Dynasty, you must have worked hard all the way to the west, so it is better to rest for two or three days, and it is not too late to go on the road again." ”
"It's okay," Tang Ying nodded.
At night, Sun Wukong and the six-eared macaque stared at each other, neither of them slept, of course they didn't dare to make trouble, it was all taken blindly on TV.
Sanqing is Lao Tzu, Yuan Shi, and Tongtian, all three are saints, although Tongtian is actually the Yuan Shi doppelganger, and there is no real person, but the folk have always been worshiping the Sanqing Honorable Position, more than the Buddha.
Early the next morning, the Great Sage of Huli suddenly asked to see the emperor, and then said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I heard that a master of the Tang Dynasty has come, I don't know if I can invite her to come and talk about Buddhism and the Heavenly Dao." ”
"Oh, does the national teacher want to see that Tang Dynasty mage?" The king said.
"Exactly," said the Great Sage.
"Oh, then I'll call her over." The king said, and then ordered the eunuch to go to the post house to summon Tang Ying.
"Xuan, Your Majesty has a decree to invite Tang Sanzang, a master of the Tang Dynasty, to enter the palace to meet you."
Tang Ying accepted the order, knowing that the comer was not good, she took her five apprentices to the palace.
Tang Ying took his apprentices to the palace, and soon came to the palace, and then saw that on the high platform, there were three men dressed as Taoists sitting next to the emperor, and the three Taoists were obviously the three national teachers, and they were also very distinctive, the eldest tiger power and the big sage tiger had a bear waist on his back, and he looked very majestic, and the second sheep power and the big sage had sharp-beaked monkey gills, and a handful of goatees. The old Sanlu is a great sage, and he looks more ordinary.
Tang Ying took the five apprentices and walked to the bottom of the high platform and stopped.
"Below, but Tang Sanzang and your apprentice?" The Emperor asked.
"Exactly," Tang Ying said.
The emperor looked at the three national teachers and said, "The three national teachers, if you have any requirements, you can put them forward." ”
"I'll ask for the art of rain, why don't you let me go on stage and try it with Master Sanzang."
"Okay, good, there hasn't been any rain recently, and the national teacher and the Sanzang mage have tried the art of seeking rain, which just makes my car late and the country is in a good mood." The Emperor said.
After the emperor finished speaking, he said to Tang Ying, "What does Master Sanzang think? ”
"Good," Tang Ying said.
Seeing that Tang Ying agreed to the competition, Huli Dasheng was very happy, and then said, "It's a guest from afar, please ask Master Sanzang to go and ask for rain first." ”
Tang Ying didn't know how to ask for rain at all, she said to Sun Wukong, "Bai Wukong, wait for me to go up and ask for rain, can you help me with the rain?" ”
"Yes, Master, just go." Sun Wukong said.
"Hmm" Tang Ying nodded slightly, and then walked up to the high platform, looking at the sky, in a daze.
Sun Wukong directly left his body, flew to the sky, found the four gods, and said to them, "Everyone, it rains quickly, my master is begging for rain, and please listen to my master's orders." ”
"Good," they said.
Sun Wukong returned below, and his divine sense transmitted a voice to Tang Ying and said, "Master, just ask for rain, I have already told the four gods that as long as Master asks for rain, it will rain immediately." ”
"The wind comes," Tang Ying said.
As soon as Tang Ying said that the wind was coming, she saw that the sky was starting to blow, and this was the wind mother-in-law.
This Che Chi Kingdom is just a small place, the four gods of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, unlike the Dragon King, they are very free, they can not be bound by the will of the Jade Emperor, where there is less rain, they will go over to make up for it, they are basically second-line gods, usually relatively idle, and they are righteous gods, the Dragon King is just a small god who assists in the rain.
It can be said that the four gods of wind, rain, thunder and lightning usually don't work, but Sun Wukong said, they all came over to help.
Tang Ying continued, "The dark clouds are coming."
I saw a large number of dark clouds appear in the sky, and this dark cloud was summoned by the god of thunder, and the god of thunder's job was not to fight thunder, but to be responsible for managing the rain clouds and preparing for the work before the rain.
Then Tang Ying said, "Lightning".
The electric god began to work, and a strong lightning appeared, and the lightning in the world was usually managed by the Heavenly Dao, and the electric god himself managed it to a very high standard.
Seeing rain clouds everywhere, lightning and thunder, and fierce wind, this is a sign that it is going to rain.
The Great Sage of Tiger Power is a bit empty.
Tang Ying said again, "The rain is coming."
The downpour began to fall, and it was still spring, but it was a heavy rainstorm that would only fall in summer, and the rain god himself rained, and it was really extraordinary.
It rained for half an hour, and the king cried out, "Enough, enough!" ”
"Scatter," Tang Ying said.
The rain immediately stopped, then the clouds cleared, and the sky soon cleared, and the air was filled with fresh smells, which made people feel better.
But at this moment, there is one person who is in a very bad mood, and this person is the Great Sage of Huli.
Said that I tried to ask for rain, it should be that you can't ask for it, and then I beg for rain before it rains, and now you ask for rain directly, so what should I do?
Huli Dasheng stood up, and Sun Wukong said, "It's your turn."
