Chapter 638: The play is reversed, and the palace gambles

Just when the Monkey King brothers were enjoying the sumptuous tribute in the Sanqing Palace, a sumptuous dinner was being held in a richly decorated hall in the Taoist temple.

There were only four people in the hall to enjoy the dinner, and the three of Huli Daxian sat on the left and right guest seats respectively, all of them extremely respectful.

Above the main seat of the main hall, there is a middle-aged Taoist in a black robe, sipping wine comfortably and eating some delicious food from time to time, it is Shen Gongbao.

'Goo' smelled the tempting aroma of wine escaping from the wine gourd in the middle-aged Taoist's hand, and the three of Huli Daxian couldn't help but swallow their saliva dryly, and their eyes were salivating.

"Master! Such an immortal brew is really rare in the world, can you give us a taste? In the end, there was still some unbearable Tiger Power Immortal, who took the lead and said with a smile respectfully.

Before Shen Gongbao could speak, the Feather Ink Fairy standing beside him shouted coldly: "Bold! Rude! ”

Huli Daxian was stunned when he heard this. The Luli Immortal was very sleek, and after looking at Shen Gongbao, who was still drinking and eating, he smiled at the Yumo Fairy and said, "Senior Sister Yumo, you follow the master, you are naturally well-informed, and our brothers dare not think about what you taste and drink." However, our brother has never tasted the delicacy of the fairy brew! ”

"Yes, yes! We didn't mean to offend Master! Yang Li Daxian was a little timid, and said busily.

Huli Daxian also said in a muffled voice: "Master, senior sister, Huli knows that he is wrong!" ”

Listening to the words of the three of them, Shen Gongbao, who had a smile flashing in his eyes, couldn't help but look up at them and said, "You guys! Just to be opportunistic and ascend to the heavens in one step, how can it be so easy to cultivate? Thousands of years of penance for the teacher. There are also famous teachers to guide them, and after tempering, they have today's achievements. It's barely an immortal. ”

"Master's lesson is that I have waited for a long time!" The three of them nodded yes, respectfully.

Seeing this, Shen Gongbao smiled, and then said: "You are still cultivators, and some of you are Taoists, and you don't know that there are thieves mixed in your own place. This is really a joke! ”

"Huh?" The three of Huli Daxian were all slightly stunned when they heard this. Something is unclear.

Yang Li Daxian was even more busy: "Impossible! With our cultivation, if a thief comes, how can he not find it? Moreover. With our status, where would a thief dare to come here and steal? ”

"Stupid! Since the other party dares to come, he will definitely not be afraid of you, and he is not an ordinary thief at all! The Feather Ink Fairy said coldly. She really seriously doubted the brains of these three guys. I couldn't understand how Master could be interested in taking three fools as apprentices, even though they were registered disciples.

When Huli Daxian heard this, he couldn't help but glared and exclaimed, "What? Are there other advanced people coming? ”

"Not bad! They are in the Sanqing Temple, enjoying those tributes! Shen Gong Leopard said lightly, and took a sip of the immortal brew in the gourd, which looked extremely comfortable.

Huli Daxian, Luli Daxian and Yangli Daxian looked at each other, and before they could react, they saw a small road hurriedly come in and said, "Master! Master! The Three Qing Dao Ancestors have appeared! ”

"What did you say?" Huli Daxian suddenly got up, stepped forward and lifted the trail up, glaring.

The trail was a little frightened and hurriedly said: "Master! I left something in the Sanqing Hall before, and then I went to look for it. As soon as I arrived at the door of the Sanqing Palace, I heard that Grandpa Sanqing was enjoying the tribute! ”

"Humph! Those three thieves are really bold. Dare to pretend to be the ancestor of the Three Qing Daoists! Luli Daxian said angrily.

When Huli Daxian and Yangli Daxian heard this, they also reflected, and hurriedly stepped forward with Luli Daxian and said to Shen Gongbao: "Master, please also administer justice for your disciples and deal with those three thieves." ”

"Presumptuous! If you want Master to do everything, what's the use of yourself? Feather Ink Fairy shouted.

The three of them were stunned for a moment, and before they could speak, Shen Gongbao smiled lightly: "You go to investigate the situation, if there is any danger, the teacher will take action to protect you." ”

"Yes, Master!" When the three of them heard this, they immediately left with a relieved surprise in their hearts.

After they left, the Feather Ink Fairy couldn't help but speak, "Master, they are too stupid. Why do you want to accept them as registered disciples? They didn't see anything to praise them. ”

"Really?" Shen Gongbao raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Yumo! You see that the three of them are just Taiyi Sanxian and the like, and they are still from the demon clan, but they don't have much demonic energy, but they have a Taoist demeanor. Don't you think they're a little different from ordinary demon clans? What they do and sit on is even more unimaginable. Ordinary demon clans occupy caves in the deep mountains and evil waters, but they are at ease among humans. Interesting! ”

The Feather Ink Fairy frowned slightly, and said a little puzzled: "So what? These three guys didn't encounter a powerful Terran monk, otherwise they would have been eliminated by the demons. ”

"Yes! But have you ever thought about what they have for Lu? Shen Gongbao asked with a smile.

"Oops! Master, don't sell it! The Feather Ink Fairy looked at Shen Gongbao with some helplessness.

Shen Gongbao, who smiled, took a sip of wine and said: "That's because they are kind to others, ask for rain for the people, and benefit all the people, and their merits are not small, so they have lost some demonic energy, more Taoist demeanor, less tribulations, more luck, and a lot smoother in practice." ”

"Oh! Master, I see! You are saying that although they are demon clans, they have merit, which is very rare. Even if they are less qualified, they can achieve something in the future. And those who have merit in their bodies will have a better chance of surviving in some future tribulations, right? The beautiful eyes of the Feather Ink Fairy brightened slightly.

Shen Gongbao nodded and smiled: "Not bad! The children can be taught! ”

The Feather Ink Fairy, who nodded thoughtfully, couldn't help but smile lightly at the corners of her mouth: "So, these three guys are really interesting!" ”

On the other side, the three of Sun Wukong had eaten almost, and when they were about to leave, the three of Huli Daxian appeared outside, politely asking the Sanqing Dao Ancestor to thank the elixir Fu Shui.

"Played and played! It's time to show the stuffing! Zhu Bajie complained a little: "Brother Monkey, I should have eaten and left sooner if I knew that Lu Dao would have been eaten earlier." Now it's blocked at the door, but what's good? ”

Hearing this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but glared at Zhu Bajie: "Idiot! It's not like you can't get enough of it! ”

"Big brother. Let's think about how to deal with the past first! "Sha Seng is also a little busy.

Sun Wukong, whose eyes rolled, suddenly showed a wicked smile on his face: "There is!" Two virtuous brothers, come with your ears. Listen to my grandson"

"This?" When Zhu Bajie heard this, he almost laughed out loud, and hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth.

Hearing the tiger power immortal begging outside, Sun Wukong said seriously: "That junior little immortal, you don't need to bow down." I want to leave some holy water with you, lest I destroy the seed; If I want to be with you, it's easier again. ”

When Huli Daxian heard this, he looked at each other with Luli Daxian and Yangli Daxian. Xuan even continued to act respectfully: "Wanwang Tianzun remembers the disciple's respectful meaning, and Qianqi is happy to give a little." My disciples preach morality and play the king to respect the Xuanmen. ”

Sun Wukong said: "That's the case. Fetch the utensils. ”

Pretending to be surprised, Huli Daxian carried a large vat and put it on the hall, Luli Daxian took a sand pot and placed it on the offering table, and Yangli Daxian picked the vase. Move in the middle.

Sun Wukong said again: "You all go out of the palace." Cover up the lattice, and don't let the heavens leak, so that I can leave you some holy water. ”

Huli Daxian and the others responded respectfully, and they all hurriedly withdrew and covered the door.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong hurriedly stood up, lifted the tiger skin skirt, and sprinkled a vase of shame.

Zhu Bajie saw it and said happily: "Brother." I've been brothers with you for a few years, but these haven't made me. I just ate something. That's what the Tao is going to do. ”

The nerd undressed and suddenly horned, just like Lu Lianghong fell down, and drowned in a sand basin, but the sand monk also sprinkled half a jar, and still sat on it with his clothes full and said: "Xiaoxian receives holy water." ”

Instructed the other trails to go outside, and after the three of Huli Daxian came in and saluted respectfully, they each picked up the jar and pot.

I only smelled a strange smell of urine, and the three people who looked down at each other secretly gritted their teeth and started together, throwing all the urine towards Sun Wukong and the three of them.

The three people who were unprepared were splashed squarely, and they couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Demon Dao!" Sun Wukong, who reacted and gritted his teeth and hated secretly, couldn't help but take out the golden hoop stick in anger and hit it towards Yangli Daxian.

Yang Li Daxian had already prepared, and hurriedly turned into a breeze and left.

Huli Daxian and Luli Daxian were also not slow to react, and they were busy and went away.

A stick hit the ground, and Sun Wukong, who shook the entire Sanqing Palace, was still flushed with anger.

Zhu Bajie, who was also depressed, couldn't help but say: "Brother Monkey! It's a good thing, but it can't play tricks on people, but it will cause our brothers to be splashed with urine. ”

When Sun Wukong heard this, he couldn't help but look back at Zhu Bajie angrily, and Zhu Bajie shrank his head in fright.

"Alright, big brother! Those three demon paths are hard to find for a while, let's leave first! It's too late to go back, I'm afraid that the master will find out if he's suspicious," Sha Seng hurriedly stepped forward to persuade.

Hearing this, Sun Wukong, who took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Okay!" My grandson will let them live a little longer first. ”

While speaking, Sun Wukong's brothers left the Sanqing Hall together and returned to Zhiyuan Temple

Besides, the three of them went to reply to Shen Gongbao, and they all looked complacent, obviously very proud and teased Sun Wukong's brothers.

"Interesting, huh? I tell you, those three are the disciples of the Tang monks who went to the west to learn the scriptures, and they will go to worship the king tomorrow, and you will inevitably meet at that time. The three apprentices of Tang Seng are not simple. Especially the big apprentice Sun Wukong, he has great magical powers, and it is not easy for a teacher to deal with him! Shen Gongbao asked with a faint smile.

Huli Daxian said confidently: "Master, don't worry! When he arrives at the palace tomorrow, he will not be my brother's opponent if he has great ability. If they dare to be presumptuous, I will let them not be able to exchange for customs clearance, and they will not be able to leave Che Chi Guo. ”

"That's right! In the palace, it is expected that the monks of the Tang Dynasty would not dare to be presumptuous! "Luli Daxian is also busy.

Shen Gongbao smiled noncommittally: "Okay! Since you are so confident, then there is not much to say about being a teacher. I have three talismans here, and if anything happens tomorrow, I can save your lives. ”

As he spoke, Shen Gongbao turned over and took out three black jade talismans and threw them to the three of Huli Daxian.

"Thank you, teacher!" The three people who hurriedly took it were all surprised and thanked.

"Go ahead!" Shen Gongbao nodded and waved his hand slightly.

The three people who saluted respectfully left in response.

Wait until they leave. Yumo Fairy couldn't help but say: "Just them, they still want to play tricks with the monkey spirit's Sun Wukong, and when the time comes, they will be sold and they will help them make money!" ”

"Huh. They did have some experience. But this time, they will gain a lot," Shen Gongbao smiled meaningfully, and there was some banter in his smile

At five drums and three o'clock the next day, the king of the Che Chi Kingdom set up a dynasty, gathered two classes of civil and military, and 400 court officials. But seeing the bright lights of the yarn, the Baoding fragrant clouds are shining. At this time, Tang Sanzang woke up and shouted: "Apprentice, apprentice, change Guan Wen with me!" ”

Sun Wukong, Sha Seng and Bajie hurriedly got up. After putting on his clothes, he stood left and right and said: "Tell the master, this faint king believes in those Taoist priests and exterminates the monks." I'm afraid of making mistakes. If you refuse to change Guan Wen, we will support the master and go to the court! ”

Tang Seng was overjoyed and hurriedly put on a brocade robe. Sun Wukong brought the customs clearance papers, taught Wujing to hold the bowl, and Wuneng took the tin staff, and handed over the bags and horses to the monks of Zhiyuan Temple to guard. Straight to the front of the Wufeng Tower, salute the Yellow Gate official. reported his name, and said that the monk who learned the scriptures from the Tang Dynasty in the East came here to exchange Guan Wen, and it was annoying to turn around.

The ambassador of the pavilion gate, entering the court and prostrating the golden steps, said: "Your Majesty, there are four monks outside, saying that they are from the Tang Dynasty in the East and want to change Guan Wen, and now they are waiting for the decree in front of the Wufeng Tower. ”

When the king heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "This monk has nowhere to seek death, but he has come here to seek death!" The patrol officer, why didn't he come to him? ”

The Taishi who was driving flashed next to him, and said: "The Tang Dynasty in the East is the southern Ganbu Continent, known as the great country of China, and there are thousands of miles away from here, and there are many monsters on the road. This monk must have some mana before he dares to come west. Looking at the distant monks of China, and summoning them to inspect and release them, they will not lose the meaning of good fate. ”

The king hesitated and nodded his head to the tune, and announced Tang Seng and the others to His Royal Highness Jin Luan. The masters and apprentices lined up in front of the stairs and handed the Guan Wen to the king. The king unfolded his way to look at it, and saw the Yellow Gate official playing: "The three national teachers are here." ”

When the king heard this, he hurriedly accepted Guan Wen, hurriedly got off the dragon seat, set up an embroidered pier with his attendants, and bowed down to greet him.

Sanzang and the others looked back, and saw the three great immortals, swaying, and then with a pair of little children with unkempt hair, they went straight inside, and the two classes of officials bowed their backs, not daring to look up. They went up to the palace of Jinluan, and did not bow to the king.

Instead, the king smiled and said, "National teacher, I have not been invited, how can I be willing to come today?" ”

The tiger power immortal said: "There is a matter to serve His Majesty, so I came." Where did those four monks come from? ”

The king said: "It was sent by the Tang Dynasty of the Eastern Soil to the West to learn the scriptures, and he came here to exchange Guan Wen." ”

Yang Li Daxian stroked the palm and smiled: "I said he was gone, it turned out that he was still here!" ”

The king exclaimed, "What does the national teacher say?" He just came to report his name, and he was about to use it to send the national teacher, how could he be the driving master to play reasonably, because I saw the meaning of the distance, and did not destroy the good fate of China, so I was summoned to the test. Unexpectedly, the national teacher asked this question, thinking that he was offended by Zunyan, and there was a punishment for offense? ”

Luli Daxian said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't know, he came yesterday, killed my two apprentices outside the east gate, released five hundred prisoner monks, smashed the vehicle, broke into the temple at night, destroyed the Sanqing holy elephant, and stole the imperial offerings. We were deceived by him, and we only said that Tianzun descended, begged for some holy water and golden pills, and entered His Majesty, hoping to prolong his life. Unexpectedly, they left some urine and deceived us. We saw through it and were about to capture it, but they left. It's still here today, and the so-called road is narrow! ”

When the king heard this, he was furious, and he ordered four men to be killed on the spot.

Sun Wukong opened his mouth with his palms together and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty will temporarily calm the wrath of thunder, and let me wait for the start." ”

The king shouted: "You have collided with the national teacher, how wrong is the words of the national teacher!" ”

Sun Wukong hurriedly said: "He said that I went outside the city yesterday to kill his two apprentices, who knows the evidence?" I waited and confessed, and the two monks paid for their lives, and let two go to learn the scriptures. He also said that I smashed the vehicle and released the prisoner monk, and there was no witness to this matter, so I didn't deserve to die, and another monk was guilty. He said that I ruined Sanqing and caused trouble in Guanyu, which is also planting me. ”

The king frowned and asked, "How do you see the planting?" ”

Sun Wukong quibbled: "We are people from the East, when we first came here, the streets were not passable, how could we know what he was looking at at at night?" If you leave a urine to urinate, you should be caught at that time, but this morning or night you will be harmed. The infinite number of pseudonyms in the world, how can I say that it is me? I hope that Your Majesty will take a closer look. ”

The king was originally in a coma, but when Sun Wukong said this, he was a little decided.

The king was hesitating, and saw the Yellow Gate official playing: "Your Majesty, there are many village elders outside the door listening to the announcement. ”

The king frowned and asked, "What is the matter?" ”

Immediately the king's command came. Xuanzhi to the front of the hall, there are thirty or forty villagers kowtow upwards and say: "Long live, there is no rain in the spring this year, but I am afraid that the summer month will be dry. ”

The king nodded and said, "If the townsman retreats, there will be rain." ”

When the old townsman came out of gratitude, the king couldn't help but say: "Tang Dynasty monks, why do you want to destroy the monks?" Just to pray for rain back then, I didn't even ask the monks for a drop; Fortunately, the heavens descended on the national teacher, and the rescue was devastated. You have come far away today and offended the national teacher, and you should have been questioned immediately. Forgive me, do you dare to gamble with our division to win and seek rain? If you pray for a sweet rain and help all the people, I will spare you for your crimes, change the Guan Wen, and let you go west. If you can't gamble and there is no rain, you will be pushed to the killing ground to be tortured to show the public. ”

Sun Wukong couldn't help laughing and said: "The little monk also knows some prayers. ”

When the king saw him say this, he immediately ordered the mandala to be cleaned, and ordered: "Swing the car, and the widow will go up to the Wufeng Tower to watch." ”

At that time, many officials were driving, and they had to go upstairs and sit downstairs. Tang Sanzang followed Sun Wukong, Sha Seng, and Bajie to stand downstairs, and the three Taoist priests sat upstairs with the king.

Not long after, a palace guard Pegasus came to report: "The mandala is all ready, please ask the grandfather of the national teacher to come to the altar." ”

The tiger power immortal, bowed his hand, resigned from the king, and went straight downstairs.

Sun Wukong stepped forward to stop him and asked with a smile: "Where is the national teacher?" ”

Huli Daxian raised his head and said, "Go to the altar and pray for rain." ”

Sun Wukong smiled: "You are also self-respecting, and you don't want me to be a monk from afar." Anyway, this is exactly the strong dragon that does not suppress the head snake. The national teacher goes first, and he must talk to the king. ”

Huli Daxian frowned and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

Sun Wukong said: "I and you both go to the altar to pray for rain, know that the rain is yours and mine?" I don't see whose merits it is. ”

"Needless to say, Your Majesty naturally knows it!" Huli Daxian snorted.

Sun Wukong smiled lightly: "Although I know, I am a monk from afar and have never met you." At that time, they relied on each other and did not succeed, so they had to speak openly and act well. ”

Huli Daxian froze when he heard this, and then said: "This altar, just look at my token as a sign: one token sounded the wind, two sounded the clouds, three sounded thunder and flashed in unison, four sounded the rain, and five sounded the clouds dispersed and the rain fell." (To be continued......)
