On the other side, Sun Wukong couldn't find his master.

But the people did not give up, and surrounded the three brothers to discuss the law.

Sun Wukong was annoyed by the trouble, so he simply flew out of the city to summon the land to inquire about the situation.

After asking, I learned that there were really monsters nearby, but they were three rhinoceros spirits, which were called to avoid the cold, the heat, and the dust.

"Great Sage, to say that these three monsters have not done evil, but have done a lot of good things for the people. They like to drink lamp oil and sesame oil on weekdays......"

"Hmph, daring to pretend to be a bodhisattva isn't evil?"

Sun Wukong shouted angrily, and without saying a word, he flew to the Xuanying Cave of Qinglong Mountain.

When he came to the outside of the cave, Sun Wukong began to shout angrily, asking the monster to hurry up and hand over the master.

The three demons walked out of the cave and the Monkey King theory.

Avoiding the cold said: "Sun Wukong, you take your scriptures, and the well water of the three brothers and our brothers do not violate the river water, why do you want to make trouble?" ”

"Phew! Trouble? How bold you are to pretend to be a bodhisattva! ”

"So what? We pretend to be bodhisattvas to do good things for the people......"

"Hugh has to quibble, hurry up and hand over my master, and the old grandson may be able to let you go."

"It is not difficult to hand over Tang Seng, but your master and apprentice must apologize to the three of us brothers in front of the people of the city, and we are not allowed to tell our true identity."

As soon as he heard this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but be happy.

"You three monsters, do you really think you are bodhisattvas? Do you want to continue to fool the people? ”

"Sun Wukong, this is the only condition, you have to agree if you agree, and you have to agree if you don't agree!"

"Okay, my grandson will beat you until you agree!"

Sun Wukong couldn't help but say, summoned the golden hoop stick and started fighting.

Unexpectedly, these three monsters were infinitely powerful, and they all turned out of their bodies to fight with Sun Wukong, and for a while, Sun Wukong couldn't help them, so he had to fly back for the time being, wanting Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng to help together.

And by this time, the city was already in turmoil......

Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng have become rats crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats.

Not only the common people, but even the monks in the monastery drove them out.

When Sun Wukong returned to the city, he met a group of people who were driving Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng away, asking them to hurry out of the city and not stay in the city.

"Stupid, you people are mortals, where do you know the true bodies of those three monsters? The three of them are the three rhinoceros spirits in the Xuanying Cave of Qinglong Mountain, who have become bodhisattvas to fool you. ”

Sun Wu was in a hurry and explained to the people.

"Yes, yes, my senior brother is the Monkey King, and his fiery eyes will not look away."

Zhu Bajie followed suit.

As a result, the people still didn't buy it.

"Needless to say, we don't believe you."

"Yes, you don't know the situation at all, for so many years, how many of our people in Jinping Mansion have not benefited from the Bodhisattva?"

"Even if the three of them are really youkai, we are willing to worship them."

"Whoever blesses us, we respect whomever we are, even if it is a monster, but they have never harmed a person, but they have saved a lot of people......"

"That's it, in the past, there were haunted demons or something here from time to time, but after the three Bodhisattvas came, it was much cleaner......"

At this time, Sun Wukong couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

He never expected that the three monsters would have such a good reputation in Jinping Mansion.

Could it be that they are really to blame?

Either way, it is a great sin for them to pretend to be bodhisattvas.

Just as Sun Wukong was about to defend himself, Gu Ming walked out and whispered: "Wukong, don't argue with the people in advance, let's go out of the city first." ”

"Okay!"

Sun Wukong replied helplessly.

So, Gu Ming and his party came outside the city.

"Shangxian, how is it possible that those three monsters actually asked Lao Sun and my master to apologize to them in front of the people of the whole city?

This spreads out, not to mention Lao Sun, I'm afraid my master will not have the face to see people in the future. ”

"However, if they don't do this, they won't let the master go, what should I do?" Zhu Bajie muttered.

"Well, leave this matter to me, and I'll persuade you."

"Okay, then it's going to be troublesome."

Sun Wukong gave Gu Ming a heartfelt salute.

Subsequently, Gu Ming also came to the outside of the Xuanying Cave of Qinglong Mountain......

"Oh no, oh no, there's another person outside......"

"Not Sun Wukong?"

"No, he said that he was a national teacher of the Tang Dynasty, and he came to ask to see the king."

"The Great Tang National Teacher?"

"Yes, he said he was here to negotiate with the three kings."

The three demons glanced at each other, then discussed in a low voice for a while, and finally decided to let Gu Ming enter the cave to negotiate.

But at the same time, he also instructed the little demon to hide Tang Seng and take care of it, so as not to be rescued by others.

Let's say that after Gu Ming entered the cave, it was not rude, and he saluted the three rhinoceros: "Under Gu Ming, I have seen three kings." ”

The three demons originally wanted to take a shelf, but when they saw Gu Ming's polite appearance, they were also a little embarrassed, so they also put down the shelf and invited Gu Ming to sit down.

"I don't know why the national teacher is here?"

"Yes, we know that you want us to release Tang Seng, we still say the same thing, it's okay to release people, but their master and apprentice must apologize in front of the people of the city."

Gu Ming smiled and said, "Let me ask you, what are the three kings insisting on letting Tang Seng and his apprentices apologize in person?" ”

"For the sake of ...... Of course, for the sake of the face of our three brothers, and for self-esteem. ”

"Yes, the Ming people don't say secret words, since you know our identity, you can imagine how difficult it is for us to have today's status."

"That's right, people are often frightened when they mention demons, and they can't kill them quickly.

If they knew who we really were, wouldn't our years of hard work be in vain? ”

"I understand your feelings, in fact, I won't tell you that my wife is also a demon, and she is a descendant of the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox clan.

In addition, I have a maid who is a serpent, and a ...... The confidante is the white snake ......"

"Huh? Are you telling the truth? ”

"Hehe, do you think I need to say this to trick you?"

"This ...... So what do you mean by telling us this? ”

"What I want to say is that you are too attached to your identity, and in short, this is actually a sign of lack of self-confidence."

As soon as they heard this, the three demons couldn't help but change their faces in unison.

"What do you mean?"

"Why aren't we confident?"

Gu Ming smiled: "If you are confident, why pretend to be someone else? Why don't you dare to appear as you are? ”

"Didn't you say it before, because the people couldn't accept ......?"

"No, it's not that the people can't accept it, it's up to you to do it. Think about it, how many of those ancient gods were humans?

Don't talk about the far, just talk about the close, such as the dragon king, he's not a human, right? But why do people worship him as a god? ”

"This ......"

The three demons looked at each other.

"Surely the people will be terrified if you appear as you are.

However, you are not harming others, but you are wholeheartedly for the benefit of the people, wholeheartedly helping them, and over time, they will naturally change their views......

There is one more thing, the people in the city are driving the Monkey King brothers away.

At that time, Sun Wukong explained, but the people in the city said that even if you are demons, they are willing to worship, because you have indeed brought them a lot of benefits......"

"Really?"

As soon as they heard this, the faces of the three demons suddenly became excited.

"If you don't believe me, you can quietly observe it."

"Okay, eldest brother, second brother, I'll go and see the situation."

The third child couldn't wait to leave the cave.

Gu Ming continued to brainwash the eldest and second children.

"Think about it, what's the benefit of impersonating someone else for a long time? The people are thankful for who you have become, not for you.

In this way, you have not only violated the rules of heaven, but at the same time, you have not accumulated a trace of merit for yourself, which is a typical thankless task.

While there is no big mistake now, it is still too late to repent.

In the future, he will appear in his original identity, do not do evil, seek more benefits for the people, and accumulate more merits.

One day, the three of them will surely attain positive results......"

After Gu Ming talked endlessly and persuaded him, Lao Sanxing rushed back.

"Good news, good news, eldest brother, second brother, sure enough, as the national teacher said, the people in the city are discussing the statue and the temple for us, hahaha, great, great, our efforts have finally not been in vain."

"How? Take my word for it now? ”

Gu Mingle said.

"Believe, believe!"

"Thank you for the immortal enlightenment!"

"Thank you!"

The three rhinoceros essences were convinced, and they all got up and thanked Gu Ming.

Subsequently, Tang Seng was released and apologized repeatedly.

Of course, Tang Seng didn't compare, but looked pleased: "Amitabha, the three of them can turn back, and the poor monk is very pleased." I also hope that the three of them will be able to cultivate sincerely in the future, and the poor monk wishes the three of them to achieve positive results as soon as possible. ”

"Thank you, Holy Monk!"

A catastrophe was easily resolved by Gu Ming in this way.

When they went back, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng were naturally grateful, and they all thanked Gu Ming.

Subsequently, three rhinoceros spirits also flew over, joined Tang Seng and his party, and came to the city together.

When the people in the city saw the three rhinoceros spirits, they were also shocked.

Sun Wukong stood in mid-air and explained.

The three rhinoceros spirits also looked ashamed, apologized to the people, and said that they would never deceive the people again, and if the people were willing, they would continue to work for the people's welfare.

Of course, the people had no opinion, and they all said that they would continue to worship the three brothers in the future.

It's a joy for all.

After the monks in the temple understood the reason, they also sighed with emotion, apologized to the Tang monks and apprentices, and tried their best to keep them to stay for a few more days.

However, Tang Seng thought that it was already very close to the western sky, so he declined the abbot's kindness and continued to hurry early the next morning.

Unconsciously, he left the border of Jinping Mansion and officially stepped into the border of Tianzhu.

After continuing to walk for several days, the sound of the bell was faintly heard in the mountains and forests.

The group followed the sound and saw a Zen temple: Bujin Temple.

"Amitabha!"

Tang Seng stood outside the temple and recited a Buddha name, and then slowly walked up the steps.

"Amitabha~"

The monks in the temple seemed to know that Tang Seng would come, and they stepped forward excitedly one by one to salute.

Not long after, the abbot also hurriedly came and saluted Tang Seng: "Amitabha, I don't know that the holy monk has arrived, and the old man has missed the distance." ”

"The abbot is polite......"

For a time, the entire Bujin Temple was beaming.

After all, this is already the boundary of Tianzhu Kingdom, and the monks still know about the origin of Tang Seng.

When the disciples of the Buddha came in person, how could they not receive them warmly?

Night.

After eating fasting, Tang Seng was walking in the courtyard, a gust of wind blew, and a woman's cry faintly came from his ears.

Tang Seng couldn't help but be taken aback, and immediately called Sun Wukong: "Wukong, listen, is there a woman's cry in the temple?" ”

Sun Wukong listened for a moment, and couldn't help frowning: "It's strange, it should be a cry from the backyard of the temple...... In the temple, how can there be a woman's cry? ”

"This ...... Otherwise, ask the abbot what happened. ”

So, the master and apprentice immediately went to the abbot.

"Amitabha, abbot, poor monk just now faintly heard a woman's cry in the courtyard.

But there seems to be no one around the area, what is the matter with this cry? ”

Hearing this, the abbot couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, and then sighed: "Holy monk, don't misunderstand, there is indeed a woman in this temple, but ......"

Without waiting for the abbot to finish speaking, Sun Wukong couldn't help but shout: "Buddhism Holy Land, why are you detaining a woman here?" ”

"The elder is angry, and he talks about the old man in detail......"

"Three years ago, a woman drifted into the temple with the wind...... At first, everyone was terrified and thought it was a goblin.

Unexpectedly, the woman cried and revealed her identity, saying that she was the princess of Tianzhu Kingdom......"

"What? The princess of Tianzhu Kingdom? ”

Tang Seng couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Yes, the old man didn't believe it at first, but listening to the woman one by one, it shouldn't be fake."

"It's strange, if she is really a princess, how can she come with the wind? After being missing for three years, the palace can't help but look for her, right? ”

Tang Seng couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"That is, since you think she is a princess, why don't you send her back?"

The abbot smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't send it, but I don't dare!" ”

"Why not?"

"Actually, the old man secretly sent someone to investigate, and learned that the princess is not missing, and she is still in the palace......"

"Amitabha, you have confused the poor monk. One will say that he believes that the one who floated in is the princess, and the other will say that the princess is not missing......"

"Holy monk, this is exactly what the old man is embarrassed about. If there are two princesses, then one of them...... Most of them are goblins.

Therefore, we have no choice but to hide the princess in the backyard in secret, so that one day we can find out the truth. ”

"That's ...... so"

"Holy monk, when you go to meet the Buddha, you will pass through Tianzhu Kingdom on the way, why don't you take advantage of the palace to find out?"

"Well...... Tang Seng nodded: "It's okay!" ”

At this time, Gu Ming quietly came to the backyard.

In the courtyard, a woman in a long dress was sitting by the well and weeping.

"Princess ......"

Gu Ming stepped forward and called softly.

"Who?"

The princess immediately turned around and looked at Gu Ming with a somewhat frightened expression.

"Don't be afraid, the princess is the Tang Dynasty National Teacher, passing by here, she heard the cry and came over."

"You...... You are the Tang Dynasty National Teacher? ”

The princess's voice was a little surprised.

Presumably she had heard of Gu Ming's name in the palace before.

"Hehe, it's like a fake."

"That'...... So how do you know I'm a princess? ”

"I knew with a finger that you were the real princess, the one in the Tianzhu Palace...... But it's a goblin. ”

As soon as she heard this, Princess Tianzhu couldn't help but whimper and cry.

"I have been here for three years, but my father and mother did not know, and I begged the monks in the temple to send me back to the palace, but they did not dare, saying that they were afraid of harming me."

Gu Ming sighed: "You can't blame them for this, first, they don't dare to be completely sure of your identity." Second, if you can be sure, then the goblins in the palace must be the goblins, and when you go back, you may suffer from them. ”

"That'...... How's that good? ”

"Princess, don't worry, bear with it for a few more days, I will go to Tianzhu Palace with Tang Seng and his apprentices in a few days, and I will definitely find a way to expose the true face of the goblin."

At that time, it is natural that someone will come to welcome the princess back to the palace. ”

"Great, thank you to the national teacher, thank you to the national teacher."

Gu Ming smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, you can stay at ease these days, don't cry all day long, I have a few books here, you can use them to kill time." ”

As he spoke, Gu Ming's mind moved, and he took out a few books and handed them over......

These books include his own works, and two are Confucian classics.

Since he came to Tianzhu Kingdom, Gu Ming naturally wanted to find a way to spread Confucianism, and the princess was the first choice......
