On this day, Tang monks and apprentices traveled to Chechi country, came to the palace to meet King Chechi, sent customs clearance documents, and asked King Chechi to seal.

Originally, this matter was just a matter of stamping a seal on the jade seal, but King Chechi did not respond, and summoned the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty with great fanfare, and specially sent envoys to invite three national teachers to watch the ceremony in front of the palace.

"I invite Tang Sanzang, the Zen master of the Tang Dynasty, to enter the hall."

In the singing of the inner attendants, the Tang monks and apprentices walked into the hall and met the king.

"Poor monk Tang Sanzang, meet the lord of the country, meet the queen."

"Okay, good, monk, and no courtesy." King Chechi happily invited Tang Seng to get up, and then instructed the chamberlain, "Come on, give a seat to the Tang Dynasty monks." ”

After that, Che Chiguo also deliberately turned his head to look at the three national teachers beside him and introduced them to them.

"Three national teachers, I came to introduce to you, this is a high monk from the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Soil, Tang Sanzang and his three apprentices, I heard that they are also the same as the three national teachers, people with great magic power and great magical powers, the national teacher may wish to have a close exchange with his master and apprentice."

Among the three people, the burly Huli Daxian with a majestic face glanced thoughtfully at King Che Chi with a smile on his face, and his eyes flashed slightly.

Why is Your Majesty so abnormal today? actually attaches so much importance to these Tang monks, doesn't he hate these monks who have deceived him the most?

King Che Chi explained in a low voice: "National teacher, this Tang Sanzang is a person from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, from the Heavenly Empire, I should pay respect." ”

This explanation was still said in the past, and the Huli Daxian didn't think much about it.

And the Tang monks and apprentices in the hall also looked at the three of Huli Daxian with a scrutinizing face.

Sun Wukong looked at the three of them with a little unkind eyes, and whispered to Tang Seng: "Master, it is these three demon ways that are hindering them, and they will not let the king change the customs clearance documents for us." ”

Tang Seng also frowned a little, and his perception of Huli Daxian was also very poor.

As early as when they entered the country of Chechi, they saw many Buddhist disciples who were enslaved and brutalized by Taoist priests.

Those Buddhist disciples were originally pure monks who were not defiled with mundane things, but they had to be forced to do heavy coolies, forced to change their faith, and were not allowed to recite sutras and worship the Buddha...

In the mouths of those Buddhist disciples, all this was instructed by these three national teachers, and even tortured many Buddhist disciples to death.

Even their master and apprentice, the foreign monks, were bullied and hostile by these three national teachers for no reason, forcing the king not to let them pass, and to arrest them and send them to work as coolies... These three people are really enemies of the Buddha!

But in fact, Tang Seng didn't know that those who ordered the destruction of the temple and the destruction of the Buddha statues and the punishment of those monks were not necessarily the three of Huli Daxian, and those who acted as bad people and whipped and abused the monks with leather whips were not necessarily true Taoists.

Even those monks who complain like them and tell their 'true feelings' are not necessarily telling the true and complete inner story!

As for the fact that the three of Huli Daxian stopped the king and did not give their master and apprentice to exchange the customs clearance documents, it is even more imaginary!

After all, although the three of them do have some bad feelings towards Buddhism, what Taoism advocates has never been a cruel opponent, and they have never interfered in the country/politics, let alone forced the king to do anything.

Since they received Lu Zhi's message many years ago, they have been acting on Lu Zhi's orders, how could they deliberately target and abuse those monks?

What Tang monks and apprentices saw, heard, and learned were actually only one-sided words, and some were completely misleading lies!

However, whether it is Tang Seng and apprentice, or the three brothers of Huli Daxian, they don't know the hidden secret, all of them, only the smiling and seemingly old foolish, but in fact the shrewd King Chechi really knows.

King Chechi glanced at both sides without a trace, and sure enough, the three national teachers and Tang Seng master and apprentice, but as soon as they met, they had already given birth to a sense of antagonism and hostility.

And that's exactly what he wants.

A gleam flashed in his old eyes, which were already a little dim and dim, and said: "Hehe, the Tang monks are guests from afar, and I am a late country, although it is not as good as the Tang Dynasty of the Heavenly Empire, but there are also some outputs, so I invite all the monks to the banquet to enjoy a meal." ”

Tang monks and apprentices have nothing to do, but Sandao is unwilling to accompany him, so he retired to the king and left.

That night, after returning to the post station, Tang Seng fell asleep early due to fatigue due to the fatigue of being in a hurry, but Sun Wukong suddenly opened his eyes.

During tonight's banquet, the king of Chechi kept saying how the three national teachers of their Chechi country were so powerful, and how they were hostile to monks like them, and persuaded them to curry favor with the three national teachers.

But who is Monkey King? How can it be easy to bow down to others and be small? Because of the words of King Chechi, Sun Wukong is now full of evil thoughts towards the three of Huli Daxian.

"Idiot, Senior Brother Sha, wake up."

"Huh? What's wrong, big brother? ”

"Yes, senior brother, we don't sleep at night, what do you tell us to do?"

Sun Wukong said: "You two, you know how to sleep, get up quickly... Let's take advantage of the fact that the master is asleep, go to meet the three demon paths for a while, punish them well, and change the customs clearance documents as soon as possible to pass the customs. ”

Hearing this, Tianpeng and Sha Seng didn't say anything, but just glanced at Sun Wukong.

"You two, what's wrong? It can't be that you're afraid of those three demon paths, right? ”

Tianpeng's eyes flashed, and he said, "Since Senior Brother wants to go to meet those three national teachers, Senior Brother, I will naturally go with you." ”

Sha Seng nodded: "Go with you." ”

"Then let's go, remember to be quiet, don't wake up Master."

The three of them left the post station in the dark, and went to the Sanqing Temple where Sandao lived, avoiding the Taoist priests on duty and patrolling all the way, and easily touched the temple.

The three of them touched all the way into the main hall dedicated to Sanqing, only to see that the statue of Sanqing was enshrined in the hall, and there were tributes on the table.

"Tianpeng, Senior Brother Sha, have you two eaten enough tonight? Look at this table of tribute, they are all good things, why don't we get cheaper? ”

After that, without waiting for Tianpeng and Sha Seng to express their opinions, Sun Wukong jumped directly onto the offering table, grabbed a handful of bananas from the table and started eating.

Tianpeng and Sha Seng glanced at each other, not to eat in vain, after all, the king of Chechi was also stingy, saying that it was for them to enjoy a meal, but in fact, it was just a little bit, for them, it was just a matter of one bite, not only could they not eat enough, but they were hooked up by their gluttony.

The three of them immediately ate it in the hall, Sun Wukong took a handful of bananas in his stomach, suddenly felt something wrong, subconsciously looked up, and saw the statue of Laojun in front of him, a pair of colored ink dotted eyes, as if looking directly at him as a thief.

Sun Wukong instantly felt a little uncomfortable, although this was just a clay stone statue in front of him, but for Lao Jun, he was still instinctively a little worried, even if he just saw the statue, he would unconsciously recall the memory of being cast into the gossip furnace by Lao Jun.

I saw his monkey eyes rolling, and he subconsciously looked at the canopy on the side.

"Idiot, don't eat, you see in this hall, the lights are always bright, the incense is constant, someone must come to renew the incense from time to time, we eat like this, it is easy to be discovered."

Tian Peng stuffed the tribute into his mouth and asked vaguely, "Then Senior Brother, what do you have in mind?" ”

Sun Wukong pointed to the statue of Sanqing on the altar above and said, "We have to become the master of this place in order to eat peacefully." ”

"Well, idiot, you move these three idols and hide them, and then we become the idols, so naturally we won't be discovered?"

Tianpeng said: "This hall is so empty, where can the statue be hidden?" ”

Sun Wukong didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional: "Do you remember the stinking place we passed by when we came in?" There must be few people going to that place, and it happens to hide the statue of the god. ”

Canopy: "...."

Sha Seng: "..."

For a moment, both of them couldn't help but look stunned... This monkey, looking for death?!

Tianpeng was even more anxious, and secretly asked if he had offended this monkey at any time, so this monkey came up with such a bad idea to harm him.

Or is he pretending to be so stupid that the monkey really thinks he's stupid? Let him carry this black cauldron?

Although this place is the western realm, the Sanqing Heavenly Venerable will not cast his spiritual consciousness into the gods of this western land, but... Emperor Zhenwu is definitely watching them!

If they really dare to be disrespectful to the Sanqing Statue today, I am afraid that in the next moment, the Yuanhong Sword should be cut on their necks!
