"Master, we're in Nanzhan Prefecture!"

When looking at the shore in the distance, with the heart of Sanzang, I couldn't help but fold my hands, revealing a happy look.

After leaving Pingdingshan, the scripture transmission team separated from the three no masters, the green cow and the golden horn and silver horn, and encountered several groups of monsters who did not know whether to live or die.

Along the way, he can fly, but he has to trek through mountains and rivers and walk on foot, which is really hard work.

Thankfully, we have finally arrived at the promised land of preaching, the southern state of Zhanbu.

Not to mention Buddhism, even the Jade Emperor is extremely greedy for this place.

That's a lot of faith!

It's a pity that the orthodox dynasty of the human race has its own spiritual totem and reveres heaven and earth, but it does not blindly worship immortals.

Especially in the prosperous era at this time, the gods and Buddhas did not dare to move lightly, and they could not use their own qi to touch the mighty humanitarian luck.

"Master, we present this scripture to the emperor, if he doesn't accept it, what should we do?"

Bajie became worried, especially on the water, looking at his slightly swollen face, thinking that he should not put on makeup or two, so as not to scare those mortals whose psychological quality is not hard enough.

Maybe it becomes a majestic past life, and the other party is more acceptable?

"What does it have to do with whether they accept it or not?"

The monkey crossed his legs, lying on the bow of the boat, uttered a very philosophical sentence.

"Don't worry, the people at the bottom of Nanzhan Prefecture are living in dire straits, if the Son of Heaven doesn't allow it, we will open the altar to preach the Fa and purify the world!"

Sha Seng remembered the comparison of my Buddha's evaluation of Xiniu Hezhou and Nanzhan Buzhou.

Along the way, Xiniu Hezhou, which is "not greedy or killed, everyone lives a long life", is so miserable, and the Nanzhan Prefecture of "greed and lust, right and wrong", has to be full of corpses and bones on the roadside, right?

The more miserable the place, the more there is a market for religious beliefs, and there is no hope in this life, so we can only hope for a good life after death.

Sha Seng believed that even if the emperor was unwilling to accept Buddhism, there would be enough people in the lower classes to bask in the light of Buddha.

The three apprentices discussed how to pass on the scriptures, or worried, or calm, in comparison, the Sanzang mentality is the most calm and peaceful.

The purpose of preaching the scriptures and teaching the Dharma is to help the Buddha's thoughts to better understand things and face their hearts.

This is Purdue.

As long as you have a clear purpose, all the dangers you encounter are nothing.

At the same time, when he set foot in Nanzhan Buzhou, the eight-pin lotus platform slowly spread out, the brocade robe faded, the nine-ring tin staff disappeared, and even the little white dragon changed from a tattoo to a white horse, and Sanzang blended into the mundane from a high god and Buddha.

This is what he realized all the way from thrift to luxury, from luxury to frugality, but if he wants to truly spread the Dharma to the world, he is about to come to the world.

really came to Nanzhan Buzhou, arrived at the Datang Fruit Realm, and along the way, as Sha Seng expected, there were corpses everywhere that had died of hunger and disease, and there were dying people lying on the side of the road, their eyes numb, and there was no fluctuation in death.

It's even worse than Xiniu Hezhou.

What is even more exaggerated is that from time to time there are also high-headed horses, galloping all the way through.

Those were aristocrats, living in two worlds with ordinary people.

This is different from Xiniu Hezhou.

The nobles of Xiniu Hezhou are also miserable, and even the king doesn't know when it will be gone.

Now it's ......

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

If you come to be honest, don't deceive us!

Nanzhan Buzhou, it's too bitter, it's too bitter!

"Master, we're here to the right place, we need Buddha's light here!"

Even Bajie, who had no heart and no lungs, showed unbearable looks when he saw the tragedy in the world, and then his confidence increased greatly.

If you look at it this way, Chang'an is afraid that it is already a hell on earth.

The master and apprentice stepped up their speed, and with the efforts of the white dragon horse to break his leg, they came to Chang'an at the fastest speed.

The capital city is really impressive, the eight rivers flow around the four mountains, how many emperors are here, and the world said Chang'an in ancient times.

When I arrived here, the Xianxia style suddenly became grounded, restoring the true appearance of the human dynasty.

For example, there are many people.

For example, when entering the city, it is difficult to check.

If you rely on flying, then there is naturally no problem, but since you want to take the unpretentious route, you have to follow the procedures of ordinary people.

"No way-seeking? Roll on! ”

"If you dare to stay, you will stay and mine to death!"

The soldiers guarding the door welcomed the preaching team with a warm attitude.

This is still the situation after the monkey Bajie made up.

If you dare to show your true face, I'm afraid it's gone......

"Hey, you're also black, come here, come here!"

Fortunately, the willows and flowers were bright and bright, and soon the enthusiastic black households brought them to a corner of the city wall.

Many barbarian stowaways, unable to enter the city from the front, entered through a gap in the city wall.

These black households are not really kind, they want these strange bald heads to explore the way first and find out the danger for them.

Sanzang was calm about this, but the monkey was furious, eager to knock down the city wall with a stick.

But after being pulled by Bajie and Sha Seng, he still followed Sanzang after all, silently drilling cracks.

When he entered Chang'an that year, he was as humble as an ant.

But soon, the monkey discovered that it was not their black households who were really humble, but all the people of Chang'an who lived at the bottom.

Across the wall, in the sky and on the ground, even in remote corners, you can hear the heat rolling on the street, the sound of people, and some white smoke, I don't know what festival is celebrated.

But soon, when the Sanzang master and apprentice walked through the alley and came to a corner of the street, and looked out, they found that it was not a festival at all, but the bad people of the imperial city patrolling the streets.

The bad guys are the messengers of the Tang Dynasty to investigate and arrest, similar to fast arrests, responsible for maintaining law and order, arresting criminals, and upholding justice, which is the most trusted existence of the people, but now they are swaggering, their eyes are constantly patrolling left and right, looking vicious and greedy.

"You! Hold it! ”

"Don't play dead!"

"Still want to run? Look at my spear! Sou! ”

Once an illegal-looking person passed by, they immediately scolded, walked over and groped up and down, searched inside and out, searched all the suspicious money, and then told him to get out of the way in the beating and scolding.

Needless to say, the waist of the bad guy is pinned with delicate javelins, which are enough to pierce the back, and directly stare the fleeing gangsters to death on the spot, and kill them under the noses of other people, causing a scream of applause.

Now there is a similar case.

A dark-faced man dodged left and right, and seeing that he was about to escape the capture of the bad guys, he rushed out of the alley and surrounded him.

One of them didn't say a word, took off and spun around for three and a half weeks, and directly a crow took a plane, pressed the man under him, and put his knees on his neck: "Dare to escape, say, what big crime has you committed?" ”

The man let out a wail, and his voice was suppressed and deformed: "Don't run away...... Don't run away...... I didn't commit a crime...... I'm out of breath......"

The bad guy sneered when he saw it: "You dare to quibble!" Go to jail with us! ”

The man's plea for mercy became deeper and lower: "Let go...... I'm going to jail...... I'm going to ......."

"Master, he's going to be crushed to death!"

The monkey was furious, and the golden rod was in his hand, and he was about to beat the bad man into a meatloaf.

"Don't hurt people's lives, even if you kill this group of bad people, you won't change anything!"

Sanzang shook his head slightly: "Save him!" ”

Wukong gritted his teeth, even if he knew that what the master said was right, he was extremely unhappy in his heart, blew out a monkey hair, and quietly came to the knee of the bad man.

Soon, the man stopped struggling, fell softly, and said goodbye to the world.

However, this is the original trajectory of fate, and now the real man was replaced by monkey hair and came to Wukong.

"Ahh

He was dizzy, first saw the honor of the monkey Bajie, and was startled, but looking at the corpse on the street that was like rotten meat, being discarded aside, he realized that he was being rescued, and immediately bowed down: "Thank you for the righteousness, great kindness, great kindness!" ”

Saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, in the past, they solved the monsters, and they also saved many people invisibly, but they were not as real as this one, the monkey grinned: "No! No! ”

Sanzang looked at him and said indifferently: "Who are you?" ”

The man said: "I am Changle Fang worker A Liang, I brought some money out today, ready to buy some supplies for my wife and daughter, but I was targeted by the bad people who killed that day, I was also fascinated by money, I just wanted to escape, but I didn't expect to be caught, almost killed, alas, I knew that I gave them money, not so!" ”

When the monkey heard this, he was furious: "What kind of frustrating words are you talking about, it is your money, how can it be robbed by those villains, you must resist, resist together!" ”

Bajie and Sha Seng also nodded again and again.

Chang'an is in dire straits, and these oppressed people have been submissive and accustomed to wrongdoing.

That's the scariest thing.

But Sanzang looked at Ah Liang and suddenly asked, "Have you ever acted as a traitor?" ”

Ah Liang hesitated for a moment, wanting to quibble, but even if Sanzang received supernatural powers, his own realm alone was destined to hide it in front of him, so he had to bow down again: "Engong, I have indeed stolen more than a dozen times and robbed seven or eight times, but it is all because of life, I am a good person!" ”

The monkey was stunned.

The one he saved was actually a criminal?

Bajie was preconceived: "This is Chang'an is too dire to live, the officials forced the people to rebel, how can the people be blamed?" ”

Sha Seng also said: "Knowing that mistakes can be changed, good is great, Master, this Ah Liang's nature is not lost, and he can cross into my door!" ”

Sanzang faintly felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that there was no problem, and nodded: "My name is Sanzang, and I am a monk of Daleiyin Temple in Lingshan in Xiniu Hezhou, and I came here to spread my Buddhist scriptures, are you willing to enter my Buddhism?" ”

Ah Liang didn't know anything about Xiniu Hezhou and Da Lei Yin Temple, but after listening to the truth, goodness and beauty of my Buddha, he suddenly showed a look of piety and yearning, and bowed down: "I am willing, I am willing to believe in my Buddha!" ”

In the unintentional place of truth, goodness and beauty, I know that my Buddha is my heart!

Amitabha!

The three apprentices were overjoyed.

Although I shouldn't be happy, it seems that Chang'an needs my Buddha too much.

No one wants to come all the way and be turned away, and now I feel cared for, and it's good.

And Sanzang also set a goal.

Two routes.

The first is to let the rulers be benevolent and merciful from the top down, so that the living conditions of Nanzhan Prefecture can be materially improved, so that unscrupulous people will not kill people on the streets.

The second is from the bottom up, only by awakening the people can we wake up the upper strata and let them know that the lives of the people at the bottom are also fate, and they cannot be fooled or manipulated.

These two routes need to be carried out together, but one is light and the other is dark.

Sanzang asked, "Where is the poorest place in the city?" ”

Ah Liang smiled bitterly: "That's the Changle Fang where I live, most of the people living in it are lowly, there is a meal without a meal, I don't know when I can't wake up......"

Chang'an has a total of hundreds of square cities, among which although the name of Changlefang is very beautiful, it is the poorest slum, inhabited by a large number of untouchables and black households, referred to as untouchables.

Not only was there no happiness at all, but when the Sanzang master and apprentice came here, they also felt a strong sense of resentment and death.

There is no doubt that living here is really precarious, and I don't know if I can see the sunrise tomorrow, but I don't want to leave.

After all, this is the center of the world, and if you live in Chang'an, you can still have an expectation, looking forward to being able to really take root here, get out of Changle Fang, integrate into other markets, and become a human being.

The untouchables are dreaming of Chang'an.

Ah Liang was already a wealthy pariahs in Changle Fang, and when he was pressed by his neck before, he woke up from his dream.

Luckily, he had just come out of the wolf's den and into the tiger...... Phew, fortunately, his Chang'an dream woke up and immediately picked up a new Pure Land dream.

Thinking of being able to go to the Pure Land of Bliss to enjoy happiness, his eyebrows were suddenly filled with vigorous positivity, and he secretly vowed to follow the master and spread this dream to more people who needed it.

As for not dreaming......

Hehe, if you don't dream, how can you live?

Under Ah Liang's arrangement, the Sanzang master and apprentice came to a temple that was not so foul and foul.

"This was originally a Taoist temple, after being abandoned for a long time, it has become a gathering place for beggars, and the leader of those beggars a few months ago, Su Liugong, was beaten to death by bad people, and now it is empty, which can be used as a foothold."

The monkey and Bajie took the lead in opening the way, sweeping away the cobwebs, reptiles and smoke and dust, and the sand monk carried the Buddhist scriptures inside, looking at the temple full of broken walls and ruins: "Master, are we going to be here?" ”

Sanzang nodded, found a tattered plaque, used his finger as a pen, and rewrote three big characters-

Kaseiji Temple!

When the name of the temple was born, a touch of golden light faintly emerged, soothing people's hearts, and it also represented that Buddhism finally set up the first base in the center of Nanzhan Prefecture.

Ah Liang's eyes suddenly brightened, and he bowed down reverently.

Just as Huang Shang has passed everywhere, are the blessed land of the cave, the holy realm of the sea, Sanzang is the living holy monk, when officially based on the Huasheng Temple, there is no need to build a Zen couch, decorate the temple, there is a supreme wonderful scene.

Sanzang has deliberately suppressed it, and it has not made the golden lotus on the ground, the sky is overblown, and it is too exaggerated, so it is necessary to let Chang'an go up and down step by step and slowly contact.

So, the first to come were the children.

Wash...... The preaching started from the baby, and the adults of Changle Fang ran around for a mouthful of food every day, where did they come here to listen to the Dharma, only the dirty children came to listen to the lectures, and their eyes were full of curiosity about the unknown.

Sanzang is not only teaching the Dharma, but also imparting knowledge.

Sha Seng unfolded the scriptures that he had memorized all the way, taught them to read and write, and explained the stories in the Buddhist scriptures.

The reason can't be understood for the time being, so it's better to listen to it as a story.

And when these children came home and told their parents the stories in the Buddhist scriptures, they were not taken seriously at first, but gradually, the beautiful afterlife began to impress their yellow and thin faces, and they were covered in filth, looking forward to the Pure Land, and their hearts became tough.

Naturally, the Huasheng Temple is on fire.

first became popular all over Changle Fang, and then went out of the circle.

Soon, this temple, which suddenly flourished, came into the field of vision of the upper echelons.

The bad marshal checked his small vault and found that there was no offering to the Huasheng Temple, so he immediately sent a message to check this dangerous place.

The bad people under his command also didn't pay attention to it, thinking that there was an extra place to collect protection money, and they had to teach the master of the temple who didn't know what to do.

But they were simply turned away.

Sanzang did not use his supernatural powers, and the Buddha's light that could teach the Dharma had turned into an invisible barrier, blocking the evil people with ill intentions and menacing evildoers.

This is the beginning of the general trend.

No matter how bad people hit, it won't help!

There are even some bad people, in the process of impact, chanting words in their mouths, and suddenly crying bitterly, saying that they want to put down the butcher knife and repent and reform themselves!

"Is there such a thing? Where is the demon, dare to come to the wilderness of the first power in my world? ”

When the news came back, all the first batch of bad guys who went were wiped out, and half of them had joined the enemy, the bad handsome was shocked and angry, and immediately sent hundreds of elites, all of them ready to go, and then sent them over.

The gourd baby saved grandpa and began.

On this night, the Buddha was prosperous.

Ascend to Bliss as early as possible, and travel to and from the West at ease.

The last time the bad handsome went into battle in person, he fled back in embarrassment, but he did not have the urge to convert, but gave birth to incomparable hatred and fear.

He has the atmosphere in his body, resisting the light of the Buddha, the sin that is difficult to write, and he will go to the eighteenth layer of hell, and he will not be able to live forever.

But that was after death, in order to continue the scenery while he was alive, the bad handsome immediately made up his mind to destroy the Huasheng Temple and snuff out this terrible sign!

Destroy the Buddha! Destroy the Buddha!

If it doesn't work, then even Changle Fang will be destroyed.

This move finally stimulated the untouchables of Changle Fang.

They are insensitive, they can endure starvation to death, but they can't bear the hope of the next life being cut off.

In their eyes, they finally showed a look of resistance, puffed up their chests, and shouted a free voice: "My Buddha is compassionate, and all beings are equal!" ”

What is equality?

Lives of untouchables matter!

And so, a revolt broke out!

Those who prevent them from going to the Western Heavenly Elysium will not be able to do so, even if they are bad people!

The bad handsome never expected that this group of humble ants would dare to wave weapons against them.

Even the most rudimentary weapons, such as scythes, axes, and hoes, are not worth mentioning at all;

Even if the formation is scattered and disorganized, it is still a real resistance!

What's more, this resistance, paper can't contain the fire, and what he did will be exposed.

"It's the other way around! It's the other way around! The Huasheng Temple instigated a rebellion, and told His Majesty that a large army would be sent to suppress it! ”

The sound of anger and distortion reverberated over the market, and for the wicked to sue first, the Ninety-Five Venerable was finally alarmed.

There is also controversy for this.

When the civil and military officials were listed, the bad handsome said: "Your Majesty, the Buddhism of the Huasheng Temple is the evil art of the Western Regions, which is tempted to be stupid, forgive the sins of the past, peep into the blessings of the future, recite Sanskrit words, in order to evade it, and now incite the lowly people to make chaos on the top, it should be destroyed with the power of thunder, and the holy judgment of His Majesty Fu begs!" ”

In the eyes of the bad handsome, the Son of Heaven will definitely agree, when the plough court sweeps the cave and destroys the Buddhist temple.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was an official playing: "Your Majesty, this Dharma is not an evil law, in purity and forgiveness, the Buddha is empty, it is the way to promote good and curb evil, bad people are rampant, oppress the people, have done evil for a long time, and the truth is that the heavens are angry and resentful, and there are Buddhist holy monks in person, this karma is also retribution!" ”

The bad handsome was furious: "A bunch of nonsense, since the three emperors and five emperors, there is no Buddhism, the monarch is loyal and loyal, the years are long, and now the evil sect in the Western Regions has invaded the central government, and you actually help?" ”

But a second minister stood up and denounced him for not being right, and then a third, and then a fourth.

The bad handsome man holds heavy power, and is rampant and domineering, which has already caused a lot of dissatisfaction, and now is the time of liquidation, the key is that even the prime minister has spoken: "Your Majesty, Buddhism is good or evil, not a word, you should invite holy monks, set up a dojo, and preach the Dharma to prove the false!" ”

"That's a great thing!"

The Son of Heaven sitting on the dragon chair stroked his beard and smiled: "Just according to what Aiqing said!" ”

The bad handsome man is already like ashes, but he can't stop it, all of this falls into Sanzang's Tianyantong, and he can see it clearly.

Then, the Son of Heaven was fortunate and set him to be in the Huasheng Temple to perform the wonderful scriptures.

When the auspicious time came, the Son of Heaven personally led hundreds of civil and military officials, took the phoenix chariot and dragon car, and came to the temple to listen to the lecture.

"The Holy Heaven is right, the loyal minister is good, it seems that the loyal and good people still suppress the treacherous!"

The three apprentices were very pleased, and they prepared everything, watching the master take the stage, watching the recitation of the lotus, watching the Son of Heaven and the ministers fascinated, watching the preaching of my Buddhist scriptures in Chang'an, watching the boundless mystic law proclaim, and the boundless heavenly grace.

"True holy monk, I don't know if I am fortunate to be friends with the holy monk and become brothers?"

When Sanzang finished preaching, he floated down, and the Son of Heaven greeted him with a face full of fans, grabbed his hand and didn't let go, and wanted to recognize the royal brother with a dead face.

Sanzang can only be lowered.

Not only that, the elder brother of the royal brother, well, the elder brother of the royal brother will introduce a law: "But there are those who slander the monks and slander the Buddha, and their arms will be cut off!" ”

The bad handsome has been dragged down, and what awaits him is not only a broken arm, but also a just ruling.

Go to hell, and you will never be able to live again!

The disciples were immersed in laughter and laughter, and their ugly appearance was not rejected, but was regarded as a different appearance of my Buddha.

If you are like ordinary people, can you still be a Buddha?

As for Sanzang being the same as ordinary people, it's another realm!

When the whole city was bathed in the light of the Buddha, looking at the pious faces, Sanzang fell into silence.

That faint sense of disobedience surfaced in my heart again, but I couldn't find out what was wrong.

What's wrong?

Where?
