Chapter 269: Peace Competition
It is said that Tang Ying summoned a heavy rain to pour down, which made the king of Che Chi Kingdom surprised, at this moment, the king of Che Chi Guo looked at his national teacher Hu Li Great Sage, and said, "Hu Li national teacher, do you want to go up and ask for rain?" ”
"Hmph, Your Majesty, I'm just about to go up and share my relationship with this Tang Dynasty mage." Huli Dasheng said.
When Sun Wukong heard this, he said, "Hehe, then go up quickly, if you can't ask for rain, then it's funny." ”
Tang Ying had already walked down, and in order to prevent Sun Wukong from making trouble, he specially instructed him, "Wukong, wait for the Huli National Master to ask for rain, let's wait and see what happens, and don't make more trouble." ”
"Yes, Master, I get it." Sun Wukong said, the six-eared macaque next to him pursed his lips disdainfully, this tiger power great sage mana looks average, begging for rain, is it really possible?
This tiger power sage came up to the stage, he took out a sword, put it on the table, and then took out many props, he seemed to have props similar to Qiankun bags, and kept taking out various props.
Soon, all kinds of strange runes were placed on the table, and after counting them, there seemed to be more than a dozen of them, and Zhu Bajie leaned into Tang Ying's ear and said, "Master, it's not good, this guy really looks like he has some doorways." ”
"Some doorways? How do you say that? Tang Ying said.
Zhu Bajie said, "You look at his runes, I can't understand them at all, but it seems to be in line with the principle of yin and yang, and it has some unknown effect." ”
"What is the role of the unknown, what is the role of the unknown?" Tang Ying said.
"I don't know," Zhu Bajie said.
"It's equivalent to not saying" Tang Ying couldn't help but be speechless, said in her heart, and then looked at the Huli Great Sage on the high platform, only to see the Huli Great Sage take out a rune, and then throw it away with his hand, this rune culture became a strange golden text, spreading, just this hand miracle, compared to those fake Taoist priests who can only sell, I don't know how much smarter, look at this, this Huli Great Sage should not be in vain.
This golden text spread out in the air, and the Tiger Power Great Sage threw out a second rune, and as this rune flew out, a clear light shot out directly from the middle of the sphere composed of words, directly penetrating the clouds, illuminating a piece of sky, under the illumination of this cyan rune, the sky began to surge, which was a precursor to rain.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be able to really rain without the help of the four gods, Sun Wukong couldn't help but be anxious, and was about to fly into the sky to see what was going on, but Tang Ying stopped him and said, "Wukong, let him rain." ”
Sun Wukong scratched his ears and cheeks, but he didn't dare to disobey Tang Ying's intentions, so he had to watch the wind and clouds gather, and the signs of rain became more and more obvious.
It seems that the follow-up is weak, and the storm is slowly stagnating, and there is a tendency to dissipate.
The Great Sage of Tiger Power threw out another rune, and the clear light immediately became stronger.
Then the wind and clouds continued to converge, and as runes were thrown, the sky was gradually covered with dark clouds.
"It's going to rain," Tang Ying said, looking at the sky.
If it is not bad, this is the Taoist rain charm, which can control the weather and create artificial rainfall.
Tang Ying has no intention of sabotage, since it is a competition, it is an upright competition, she doesn't want to play any tricks.
At last, the clouds gathered, there was no lightning, no thunder, and it began to rain lightly, and the rain continued to fall, and there seemed to be no sign of stopping.
After falling for a long time, the Great Sage of Tiger Power has been sitting on the high platform in the stream, and there is mana by his side, blocking the falling raindrops, so there is not a trace of rain on his body.
Huli Dasheng looked at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
The rain fell for more than two hours, and finally gradually stopped.
Huli Dasheng and Tang Ying came to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please." Tang Ying said that the emperor had not yet spoken, and the Great Sage of Huli spoke first.
"Your Majesty, just now we were competing in Taoism, and Master Sanzang ordered wind, rain, thunder and lightning, which is really powerful, but his method seems to be powerful, but it must not be commonly used, it is not as good as my spell, although it takes a long time, but it works every time."
Tang Ying's eyes couldn't help narrowing, this Tiger Power Great Sage is not simple, he actually saw that his law was not sustainable, after all, he relied on Sun Wukong to command the four righteous gods, if they let them listen to their own orders to follow their own rain every day, it was obviously impossible, and today the four righteous gods happened to be free, so that they could succeed in asking for rain and look at their majesty, but in fact, they were not as good as the Tiger Power Great Sage.
In the original book, Sun Wukong was completely induced by Tang Seng to do all kinds of tricks and abductions, which is impossible in reality, if he really did this, the Buddha would definitely let Tang Seng know why the flowers were so popular.
Many times, what a person does, what is right, what is wrong, it is difficult to say clearly, reality always teaches people the truth, but too obsessed with reality, and ignore the spirit of the change of reality is also a kind of poison, can make people become a slave of reality, not people control fate, but are led by the nose by fate.
Tang Ying's concept is that he wants Sun Wukong to really have Buddha nature, so that he can become kind, responsible, compassionate, and tenacious.
Tang Ying defended and said, "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing, no matter what the national teacher says, how to say it, no matter how many reasons are found, or even saying that the rain is better than the rain, it can't change the fact that I won, and the national teacher lost, please judge Your Majesty." ”
The emperor is the controller of a country, and he must start from the overall situation when looking at things, and the people will not care what big truths you say, and food and clothing are the only conditions for the people to be satisfied.
Therefore, in the emperor's view, it is necessary to look at the surface of things, and as for what is behind it, it is useless to care, because this is not a reason.
After thinking about it, it was clear in his mind, and the emperor said, "In this first game, the monk of the Tang Dynasty won." ”
The emperor said that there are three meanings in it, the first of which is to clarify that it was indeed the Tang Dynasty monk who won, and no matter what the Great Sage of Huli said, it could not change the facts.
This second is to imply that the Tiger Power Great Sage can propose the second and third games, and regain the victory with the help of the best-of-three system.
This third is to emphasize that the Tang Dynasty monk won, not to say the mage, but to say the monk, is to sow discord between the great sage of Huli and Tang Ying, so that they can continue to fight.
The so-called sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, this tiger power sage is very powerful, and there is mana at the critical time, and the emperor can't deal with him at all, so he obeys him on the surface, but secretly doesn't want to let himself be controlled by the other party, and wants to get rid of this tiger power sage by Tang Ying's hand.
Huli Dasheng was simple-minded, and after hearing this, he immediately continued, "Tang Dynasty monk, if you have the ability, let's compete again, if you still win this time, I will let Your Majesty let you go west." ”
The first game just now was proposed by Huli Dasheng, and it stands to reason that the second game will be Tang Yingti's turn to compete.
Tang Ying is not good at zazen, of course she will not compare zazen with Huli Dasheng, she thought about it and said, "In this second game, how about testing the principles of Buddhism?" ”
The so-called Buddhist principles are to try to explain the principles and principles of Buddhism to see who is more in-depth and more specific.
Huli Dasheng is also a Taoist master who knows reason, for him, reasoning does not seem to be a difficult thing, perhaps it should be said that in his opinion, reasoning, Buddhism, although the two are irrelevant, but Tang Ying must be compared.
So both of them agreed, and now that both of them agreed, the emperor had no reason to stop him, and the emperor said, "Okay, now that you both agree to argue with each other about the Buddha's path, let's get started, and I will be the one who will judge the winner or loser." ”
Tang Ying first spoke, saying, "At the beginning of heaven and earth, there was nothing, everything was born from nothingness, and this nothingness was the Buddha." ”
Huli Dasheng said, "You say that nothingness is Buddha, but do you have credentials? If I say that nothingness is the way, how can I refute it? ”
Tang Ying said, "The reason why I say that nothingness is a Buddha is because Buddha is the beginning of everything and the end of everything, and nothingness can be the end of everything or the beginning of everything, so nothingness is a Buddha." ”
Huli Dasheng said, "The Tao is all tangible and intangible things, if all things do not exist, then the Tao does not exist, the Tao is the rule, it is physics, it is mathematics, it is reincarnation, and it is also reality." ”
Tang Ying said, "A Buddha is born of everything, and there is a Buddha in everything, because there is a Buddha in everything, so the Buddha is everything." ”
Huli Dasheng asked rhetorically, "Since everything is a Buddha, why do I believe in Buddhism and not in Buddhism?" ”
"The Tao is also a Buddha." Tang Ying said.
"Wrong" Huli Dasheng said, "The Tao pays attention to nature, if you don't understand the Tao, how can you say that you are a Buddha." ”
Tang Ying said, "If you don't understand the Buddha, how can you say that you are not a Buddha?" ”
…… The two of them kept debating, it seemed that there were endless Buddhist principles, countless truths to explain, this lecture, just three days and three nights, from ants to the gods and Buddhas, from Ru to Heaven, it seemed that they wanted to prove that they were right, but they couldn't prove their correctness.
After listening to it for three days and three nights, Emperor Che Chiguo finally felt impatient, he raised his hand and said, "Stop."
"Your Majesty, but the winner is decided? Did I win? ”
The Emperor shook his head and said, "No."
Huli Dasheng stood up abruptly, laughed and said, "In this game, my Daomen won." ”
The emperor waved his hand, motioned for him to sit down, and then said, "No, I listened to the two of you explain the principles of Buddhism, after all, each has its own reason, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser, so this game is a draw." ”
"Flat?" Tang Ying was a little disappointed, it was flat, but it was okay if it was flat, the next step was to see what these three national teachers had to compare.
The Great Sage of Huli was even more annoyed, he thought he had won, but it turned out to be a draw, which made him feel unhappy.
Seeing that the Great Sage of Huli seemed unhappy in his heart, the emperor said, "Both, the principles of Buddhism and Taoism can't be discerned, so it's better for you to choose a single one to compete." ”
Huli Dasheng said, "Hmph, it's better than cutting off the head, dare or not." ”
Tang Ying said, "Dare, why don't you dare?" ”
"What's the comparison?" The Emperor asked.
The Great Sage of Tiger Power said, "It's better than who can make the severed head grow again." ”
"This is not better than cutting off the head, it is better than cutting off the hands or feet." The Emperor said.
"Then it's better than cutting off your hands," said the Great Sage of Tiger Power.
Sun Wukong said, "I compare with you."
Huli Dasheng and Sun Wukong came to the two guillotines at the same time and put their hands on them.
The "chop" knife axe hand took the axe and cut it down, the arm of the Tiger Power Great Sage was broken in response, and Sun Wukong made a trick, and then separated his arms.
Huli Dasheng picked up his arm, connected it and pasted it with a piece of rune paper, the rune paper disappeared, and his arm returned to its original state.
"Magical, magical!" The emperor shouted and enjoyed it.
Sun Wukong put a pair of arms and grew them again, his arms are not broken, and the knife can't cut at all, so he can only use the blinding method to make a spell.
The two came to the palace and asked the emperor to compete.
"Your Majesty, that Monkey King faked, his arm was not broken, but he used a blindfold method, I really cut off his arm, and then installed it." Huli Dasheng said.
The Emperor hesitated and said, "But I saw it with my own eyes." ”
Tang Ying walked out and said, "Your Majesty, my apprentice did use a trick, and this time we lost. ”
"Oh, since that's the case, it's a draw, I don't think it's better to forget it, I'll let you go west." The Emperor said.
Huli Dasheng said dissatisfiedly, "No, we have to compare again." ”
"Again, what?" Sun Wukong asked.
"Than guessing things." Huli Dasheng said.
"How to compare?" Sun Wukong asked.
"Put something in the box, don't look at it, you can only guess." Huli Dasheng said.
He knows a spell and can see through, and at this moment he wants to use this spell to make Sun Wukong ugly.
Tang Ying pulled Sun Wukong aside and said, "Wukong, can you do it?" ”
Sun Wukong said, "Master, don't worry, my fiery eyes can not only see through the essence, but also see through obstacles. ”
"Can you see my body?" Tang Ying said with a blushing face.
"The disciple has never peeked at the master." Sun Wukong said.
"Oh," Tang Ying secretly said that it was okay, "Since this is the case, then you go to the competition, remember, you can't deceive, you must be real." ”
"Okay" Sun Wukong nodded and glanced at the six-eared macaque, the six-eared macaque turned into a woman at the moment, standing there and looking at it with disdain.
Sun Wukong walked up to the Great Sage of Tiger Power and began to compete with him.
The two guessed three times in a row, and both of them guessed what the thing was.
The emperor saw that it was not interesting to compare like this, so he said, "There is nothing to compare with this, it is better to forget it and let them go west." ”
"Okay", the Great Sage of Huli nodded.
Tang Ying and the others left, and the three brothers of the Great Sage of Huli suddenly changed and became three clear qi, which turned out to be Lao Tzu, Yuan Shi, and Tongtian.
Watching Tang Ying leave, Lao Tzu said, "Sanzang is not arrogant or rash, true and not pretentious, he is a teachable person." ”
"What, brother, do you intend to accept apprentices?" Yuan Shi said.
"Apprentices?" Lao Tzu shook his head, he didn't want to accept disciples, but he was thinking, maybe it's time for this world to have another saint.
There are three holy positions in the East, there are three saints, but in fact there are only two of them, Tongtian is just a doppelganger, and can only exert less than one percent of the strength of the holy position, whether it is Sun Wukong or Liuer or Tang Ying, one of the three of them will inherit the holy throne of Tongtian. And the final result is determined by the Heavenly Dao.
