"That being the case, Bajie, you hurry up and invite you, and the teacher is here waiting for your news. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Okay, master, you can wait here with peace of mind, I'll go!"
Then Zhu Xian galloped away to the West Tianling Mountain, and it was the time of a stick of incense, Zhu Xian came to the front of the Great Lei Yin Temple, but saw that the Great Lei Yin Temple was shining with golden light, Jin Yu Huang Lou, and sat in front of the angry King Kong Gate, and rejoiced in the Buddha Palace. The sound of Buddhist scriptures makes people quiet and peaceful, troubles are removed, compassion is born, and all things are peaceful.
Zhu Xian walked in, only to see the Duobao sitting in front of him, and the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas on both sides were sitting peacefully, and when they saw Zhu Xian coming, they turned their heads to look at Zhu Xian.
Then Duobao Rulai said: "Bajie, if you don't go to Baotang Seng to learn scriptures, what is the matter in my Da Lei Yin Temple?"
"If you come to the Buddha, the four of us master and apprentice passed through the sacrificial Saiguo, because we helped the Saiguo to find the lost pearl, and were caught by the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King in the Blue Wave Tan of the Troubled Stone Mountain, the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King wants you to send someone to redeem them, I can't but come to the Great Lei Yin Temple for help."
Duobao Rulai smiled: "Hehe, Bajie, don't you have some friendship with the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King?" Why don't you intercede? ”
Zhu Xian sighed and said, "Alas! Buddha, you don't know, I interceded with him, but people don't sell it, so you have to send someone to redeem it, what can I do? It was difficult for me to win against him, so I had to come to the Buddha for help. ”
"Hmmm! That is the case, Manjushri, go and see what the conditions of the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King are. ”
"Yes! I am Buddha. Manjushri bowed.
At this time, Zhu Xian shouted: "Wait, the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King said that he wants to go forward, if you go like this, I'm afraid the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King won't buy it!"
Duobao Rulai said, "In that case, Manjushri, you can really go there!" In terms of cost, you weigh it yourself. ”
"Respect my Buddha and the Dharma."
Then Duobao Rulai said: "Bajie, since Manjushri has really gone forward, you should go too!"
"Yes! Thank you Buddha, thank you Manjushri. ”
Then Zhu Xian left, flew back to the shore of Bibo Tan, waited for a cup of tea, and the true body of Manjushri also arrived, and then the two of them politely went into the water to find the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King.
After a while, the two came to the front of the Dragon Palace, Zhu Xian asked the guards to go to report, and after a while, the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King and the Hydra came out, and the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King smiled: "Hehe! It turned out to be Manjushri Bodhisattva arrived, please come in quickly. ”
Several people came to the hall and sat down separately, and the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King asked people to serve tea to everyone, and then said: "This is azure tea, which is given to the Candle Dragon Ancestor by Lingbao Tianzun, and the Candle Dragon Ancestor gave us, only a few taels, you can taste it."
Manjushri took a sip and said, "Good tea, I have long heard of the name of Lingbao Tianzun's azure tea, but I have never had the opportunity to taste it, thank you Ao Fang Dragon King."
"Huh! Manjushri, the tea has also been drunk, we should talk about business now, I think Brother Zhu has already told you, what do you want to exchange for Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing? ”
Manjushri said, "I don't know what the Dragon King wants?"
"Do you want me to make conditions? It's okay, then I'll just say that I want to enter your Buddha realm merit pool to cultivate for a thousand years, not only me, but also my three brothers, Ao Qin, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the West Sea, and Ao Yan, the Dragon King of the West Sea, will also go, and I only have one condition. ”
Manjushri cried out, "What? That's impossible. ”
The Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King smiled and said, "Since you think it's impossible, go back and report to Duobao Rulai!" If Duobao Rulai doesn't agree, I have to let Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing live in my Dragon Palace for tens of thousands of years. Anyway, Tang Seng is almost here, and it doesn't hurt to lose two guards, so let Tang Seng and Brother Zhu go to the west to learn scriptures! ”
"Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King, how dare you? Aren't you afraid that the Buddha will blame you? ”
The Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King looked solemn and said, "Manjushri, are you threatening me?" Blame? My Dragon Clan Ancestor hasn't spoken yet, what do you Buddhists use to blame me? When I'm a dragon, are you your men? Or do you think that my dragon clan is afraid of your Buddhism? I have informed the Candle Dragon Ancestor of this matter, if you dare to make a move, my dragon clan will accompany you at any time. If you can't decide, you can go back and report to Duobao Rulai, and it's up to you how to solve it. My dragons have not feared anyone since their birth. ”
"Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King, I need to report to the Buddha on this matter."
"It's up to you, it's up to you anyway."
……
At this time, in the Lingshan Da Lei Yin Temple, Manjushri Bodhisattva said: "My Buddha, the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King Ao Fang threatened to enter the merit pool with the South China Sea Dragon King Ao Qin, the North Sea Dragon King Ao Shun, and the West Sea Dragon King Ao Yan to practice for a thousand years, saying that if you don't agree, you will detain Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing for tens of thousands of years, and the disciples can't be the master, so I ask my Buddha to decide."
"Oh? Why not give them a thousand years of cultivation? When you talk to the Dragon King, you say that I agree. ”
"Yes!" Then Manjushri stopped talking, and Avalokiteshvara on the left said, "Buddha, why do you agree? Even if there are two people missing, the golden cicada can still come! ”
The Buddha smiled and said: "The golden cicada and his party are indispensable to any one of them, this is related to my Buddhism's luck, and I can't be careless." But you can't forcibly save people, and the dragon clan is not so active, so it doesn't hurt to give them a thousand years of cultivation. ”
"I see!"
In the Bibo Tan Dragon Palace, Manjushri said: "The Buddha agreed to your conditions, when can you release people?"
"You can release people at any time, Jiutou, let Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing go." Then he said to Manjushri: "A month later, I will go to the Buddha realm with my three brothers, Ao Qin, Ao Shun, and Ao Yan, and I hope you will keep your promise, otherwise the immeasurable calamity will not arrive, and your Buddha realm will be killed."
"Ao Fang Dragon King rest assured, my Buddhist people do what they say, and they have no intention of repenting."
"So much the best!"
After a short time, Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing were released and came to the hall, Zhu Xian and Manjushri thanked them and left with Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing. Seeing that the task had also been completed, Manjushri bid farewell to the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King and went back.
Zhu Xian took Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing to the place where Tang Seng lived, Tang Seng saw that everyone came back safely, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Bajie, Wukong and Wujing have been rescued, have you ever had to get the pearl back?"
"I'm going to have to come back, nay! This is the pearl that was stolen from the Sai Country. Zhu Xian took out Mingzhu and said.
Tang Seng said happily: "Since we have brought it back, let's return it to Jinguang Temple!"
"Let's pay it back tomorrow! Now that the sun is about to set, let's rest for the night first, return the pearl and have the energy to continue on the road. Zhu Xian said.
"It's good! It's up to you. ”
Early the next morning, the four Tang monks and apprentices said goodbye to the old man's mother-in-law and grandson, and returned the pearl to the Jinguang Temple. Subsequently, the king of the Saiguo Dynasty personally entertained Tang Seng and others, and Tang Seng and several people stayed for another day and continued to travel west to learn scriptures.
