Chapter 165: The old man who delivered the letter was beaten
After Xuanzang handed over the letter to the couple, he still traveled west! And this couple finally arrived at the Gaochang Kingdom after a long journey, and the Gaochang Kingdom at this time was still immersed in the residual warmth of Xuanzang's teachings......
The people in the city are burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, and the Buddhist believers are like carp crossing the river! The old man then stopped a young man and said, "This little brother, why are there so many monks in the city?" The old man asked suspiciously, in his memory, although the Gaochang Kingdom believed in Buddhism! But I haven't reached such a terrifying time......
The young man who was stopped was still a little unhappy, and when he heard this person ask himself, he knew that the two old men in front of him were definitely not from Gao Changguo! Then he said: "The two of you are not from Gaochang country, right?" ”
The old man smiled and said, "Hehe...... The old man is a native of Gaochang country, but he lives in Yiwu country all year round! Come back once a year and go home to worship your ancestors! The woman smiled and nodded......
"Oooh! I see! Haha......" The young man smiled, and the old man nodded and continued to ask, "Little friend! What's going on in this city? How can you stop and go to be Buddhist disciples and believers? ”
"That's right! A month ago, my country ushered in the holy monk of the Tang Dynasty! The holy monk opened the altar and preached in our country for a month, enlightening the mind, edifying and rescuing the common people! After the young man finished speaking, the old man was slightly stunned, and then thought of the monk he met on the road when he came, and said in his heart: It turns out that it is true......
"What's that monk's name?" The old man didn't believe in Buddhism, so he didn't know much about it! The young man smiled and said, "The holy monk of the Tang Dynasty is Xuanzang!" ”
"Xuanzang...... Xuanzang! Sure enough, it was him! I suddenly thought of what the monk said: "The poor monk is Xuanzang who came from the Tang Dynasty in the east and went to the west to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures......"
The young man saw that the old man's face was a little strange, so he said: "The holy monk of the Tang Dynasty came here to give lectures for a month, and His Majesty personally held the incense burner for him and served as a ladder ......."
Hearing the young man say this, the old man admired this Xuanzang very much! It is better to admire Xuanzang than to admire the Buddhist scriptures, this brain is clean and refreshing......
The old man smiled and replied, "Oh! Thank you! The young man waved his hand and said disapprehantly, "Okay! What's the ...... about this?" said as he walked past the old couple......
Looking at the young man's back, the old man said, "Hey! Old woman! Did you hear that, the monk we met...... What are you doing? The old man turned around as he spoke, and suddenly saw his wife praying with her hands folded on the side with her eyes closed, and said with words in her mouth: "Please forgive my husband...... He didn't mean to...... The Buddha was full of compassion......"
"You! What to do?! ”
The woman's mouth stopped with words! His eyes slowly opened and looked at the old man, and he said with some panic: "I am confessing to the Buddha for you, so that you will not be taken away by the Buddha......"
"Fart! The only one who wants to accept Lao Tzu can only be the Taoist patriarch, how can it be the bald donkey...... ......The old man just scolded a few words angrily, and suddenly found countless pairs of eyes cast around, and the old man was stunned, and then knew that he had said the wrong thing......
One person came and two people came over. III. IV ..... Gradually, the old man and the woman found themselves surrounded by a group of people, just by looking at the appearance of these people...... Up to no good......
"Ahem......"
The old man coughed, and the woman turned to look at her husband and noticed that beads of sweat were faintly appearing on his head! The old man forced his composure, reached out to take the woman's trembling hand, and then walked slowly out of the circle......
Face to face, if you want to go out, you must look directly at it face to face! "Uh...... This little friend ...... Can you let the old man pass? "When the old man came to a man, he saw that man coming to his side, and he had no intention of avoiding himself at all! He didn't even answer his own question, and said in his heart: If you don't move, the old man should move by himself......
Moved two steps to the left, and the other person remained motionless and did not speak! The old man suddenly noticed a gap beside him and wanted to go over! Suddenly, another person blocked the gap!
The old man who has no choice can only do it in a hurry, and the sweat on his head is like rain! The old man let go of the woman's hand and put her hand on the edge of his coat for her to grasp! Then he put his hands together and wanted to get out between the two people in front of him......
After all, the old man is old, how can he be worthy of the strength of a middle-aged man?! After two attempts, I gave up, and then said, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Humph! What do we do?! You're off to a good start! Hearing that someone finally answered, the old man breathed a sigh of relief! At least you can get answers to your questions, otherwise you keep talking to yourself, won't you suffocate people?
Turning his head, he saw a man who was about the same age as himself, this man looked at the old man angrily with a green hat, green clothes, and a fisherman's costume, and muttered: "How dare you insult the Buddha? Aren't you afraid that the Buddha will accept you? ”
The old man said stiffly: "Hey! When did the old man say bald...... Forehead...... Bad words of the Buddha? How could the deaf not hear what the old man said, and they all said angrily: "Kill him!" Let him go to the Buddha and confess! ”
"That's right! Shoot him! ”
Everyone shouted to kill the old man, but the old man's face turned white at this time, and the woman next to him was stunned on the spot! Seeing that everyone's fists were about to fall on the old man's body, the old man sat on the ground in fright, staring blankly at the gradually enlarged fists......
"Bang~Smack...... Crackling......"
"Ah...... Oh...... Shhh......h Help me!! Help......" The old man covered his eyes and howled loudly at the feet of a group of people! The woman hurriedly ran over and hugged the old man and protected the old man with her body! Gradually, the people stopped trampling, and the woman cried out, "Old man! Old man!! Are you okay? Are you alright......"
Suddenly, a dazzling light shone on the face of the man dressed as a fisherman! The man squinted his eyes, and suddenly his heart beat faster, and said, "Huh?! This is...... Silver?!! It's silver!! ”
can only say that this man can't hold his breath, you say that you quietly take the silver away and buy whatever you want...... Doesn't it smell? Do you have to say it...... When you say that, others don't know......
"Silver? What silver? The middle-aged man next to the fisherman dressed as a man heard him say silver, so he was puzzled, and the fisherman man hurriedly denied: "Hehe...... What's the silver there...... Did you hear it wrong...... Hehe......"
"Oooh...... Yes......"
The old man's denial at this time made the man even more suspicious, and he looked at the elderly couple lying on the ground! "Huh?" The man really saw the strange place, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he smiled mysteriously......
The man stepped forward, pretending to be vicious and pulling the old man's upper body up, covering the silver gland with his robe! Then he looked at the old man and said, "I'll let you go this time, if you dare to do this next time, it's not as simple as punching and kicking......"
"Understood! Got it! The old man and his wife hurriedly nodded in agreement, got up and were about to leave, but at this time, some officials came to block the way of the old man and his wife......
"What's going on? Who are you? The official asked the old man and his wife, and when the old man saw that it was an official, he cried and said, "My lord...... Xiao Lao'er was entrusted by the holy monk Xuanzang to deliver the letter! How do you know that these people will beat me when they see that the old man is a bully......"
The official was shocked: "What!? What did you say? The holy monk Xuanzang asked you to deliver the letter? ”
The old man muttered, "Yes! We are ...... couple I met on the way to Gaochangguo...... Xuanzang Holy Monk, the Holy Monk gave us a letter and asked the little old man to ...... Personally hand it over to Your Majesty! And he gave us both a little silver, which is the epistle...... This is...... Yes?! Where is my silver? Where is my silver!? ”
At this time, the old man felt that the sky was falling, and he was going to point to that bit of silver and live a good life! Well, now the silver is gone! The old man looked up to the sky and cried, "Silver! My Silver!! While crying, the old man stretched out his hand to the crowd around him, and said, "It must be one of you...... Took away the old man's money! That's the ...... that the Holy Monk Xuanzang left for me."
The woman also cried and supported the old man, and comforted him: "Don't worry, old man, don't we have a letter?" When the time comes, Your Majesty will reward ......"
When the old man heard this, he also felt that there was some truth! After a little calmness, he said, "Yes! Help me up...... When we entered the palace, we met Your Majesty...... "The woman hastened to her feet, and the two of them limped in the direction of the palace......
The official looked at the appearance of the two of them, and thought of the value of Xuanzang's holy monk's letter and His Majesty's importance to the holy monk, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man and walked towards the palace together......
