Chapter 86 Old Grievances of Buddhism
But it was said that in front of the Li Mansion in the depths of the bamboo forest, after being reminded by the mountain god Li Xing, Wukong suddenly realized!
Isn't it? Isn't this thin-looking black-faced Taoist in front of him the leader of the land of the mountain god that he had seen in the Time Cave? It's just that at this moment and that day, in front of the Xingtian Master, Li Xing was still a humble little god who only promised his promises, and here and now, he has turned into a radiant and majestic true immortal!
"It turned out to be a god, forgive Jin for being clumsy!" Looking at Li Xing, who was proud of the spring breeze in front of him, Wukong was a little unhappy in his heart, but he still smiled: "I don't know why the god invited Jin to come here?"
"Mr. Jin is too polite, and the little god can't afford the word 'respect'. Li Xingxi smiled, "Please come here today, one is that Master Xingtian has already instructed the little god to take more care of Mr. on the way to the west, and the other is that the little god also wants to get acquainted with Mr., the little god has admired Mr. for a long time, and if he has a belly, he wants to say something to Mr. ......."
"Raise your ...... Admire our group...... Lord, open your ...... What to play...... What about laughing?" the little mute said angrily, "You send ...... People are in the big ...... The ...... of the court Next, to me...... and other brothers openly ridiculed ...... Insulted, hard to ...... This is the Pavilion...... The following is said to be ...... Have you been admiring it for a long time?"
"What the little brother taught me is that the little god is to blame for the lack of restraint on his subordinates......" Li Xing looked embarrassed, turned his face and shouted at the old man who was kneeling on the ground: "Qiu Pingyao, how many times has this housekeeper said you, can't you change your cynical style?"
"Lord Steward is angry, it's all because his subordinates are not doing well, and his subordinates know that they ......are wrong," Qiu Pingyao knelt on the ground, frowned, rolled his eyes, and said cautiously.
"You know that you are wrong, you know that you are wrong, how many times have you been wrong, have you changed it once......" Li Xing's eyes suddenly widened with anger, "Go, go, go, lead a few of them to the dungeon for three years!"
"Ah......" Qiu Pingyao and a few children were dumbfounded when they heard this.
"Ahh
"Yes......" Qiu Pingyao and the others became deflated balls, and their limp bodies staggered and sank into the soil little by little......
For a while, Wukong and the others were stunned......
"Qiu Pingyao is the house slave of my Li Mansion, and he is also the land lord of the Rakshasa Kingdom, and these little cubs are all his disciples and grandchildren. Putting them in the dungeon can be regarded as treating them in the way of others......" Seeing the surprised looks on Wukong and the others' faces, Li Xing explained with a smile: "This old boy has always been bohemian, even give him a small punishment this time!"
"Just a few words of verbal controversy, is the punishment of the god too heavy?" Wukong suddenly felt a little unbearable.
"The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules! Mr. Jin should not intercede for them! This is not the place to speak, you and I will talk about it in the house!" Li Xing said and let Wukong and the others into the mansion......
The layout of the house is antique, the three tall main houses sit in the north and face south, the east and west rooms are facing each other, and the shadow wall surrounded by a flower bed in the center of the courtyard effectively blocks the view between the gatehouse and the main house.
In general, the architectural style of the Li Mansion is quite orthodox, and the first impression is that it is more rigid than flexible.
"Mr. Jin is careful of his step, Mr. Jin is here to ......" Li Xing, who led the way in front, was very cautious, and seemed to have certain rules for every step. And the few maids and servants who were waiting on both sides saw Wukong and the others, and they were also respectful and trembling.
Perhaps because the family rules were too strict, the atmosphere in the Li Mansion seemed dull and depressing, and even a little dignified.
Everyone followed Li Xing, walked along the bluestone-paved road, bypassed the shadow wall to the right, and soon came to the door of the main house. Li Xing motioned for everyone to wait for a while, pushed open the door of the house, and came to the house with the cat's waist and back.
At this time, it was noon, and the light in the room was quite good, and two red candles were still burning on a table of eight immortals placed on the wall. Between the red candles, a handful of smoky sandalwood is inserted in a table full of incense burners surrounded by fruits.
Through the wisps of cigarette smoke, I saw a lifelike statue of the god in the middle hall hanging on the gable wall of the house. The statue of the god has blazing eyes, righteous and awe-inspiring, wearing a handsome helmet, wearing gold armor, holding five locks of long hair flowing on his chest in his right hand, and holding a delicate and transparent Ruyi golden pagoda on his left hand.
"Little Li Xing, please go to Jin'an!" Li Xing threw himself on the ground, lying on the futon in front of the table, and said respectfully to the statue: "The little one has been entrusted by the Heavenly Punishment Master, and has now invited six righteous people including Jin Shan into the mansion. This Mr. Jin has a special status, he is not only the sworn brother of Xingtian Master, but also the old friend of the Lord five hundred years ago. That's why the little ones are in charge of their own affairs, and they want to do their best on behalf of the lord, but I don't know if the lord can agree!"
With Li Xing's pious prayer, I saw that the eyes of the idol blinked, the corners of his mouth turned upward, and the golden pagoda in his hand also became brilliant!
"Thank God, the Lord has agreed!" At some point, a handsome little maid stood on tiptoe beside Wukong and the others, and when she saw the idol winking and smiling, she couldn't help but rejoice and jumped for joy.
"Xing'er, you are a girl, can't you be reserved in front of the guests?" At this time, Li Xing had finished worshipping, he gently closed the door of the main room, turned around and whispered to the little girl.
"What, be a little reserved, how can you be reserved?" Xing'er, who was still happy, immediately looked disgusted, and looked very aggrieved, "This girl was born with this wild nature, and she can't compare to those gentle and soft-spoken Xian'e in your heaven! If you dislike it, this girl will leave immediately!"
"Oh, my eldest lady, I'm just talking casually, why are you angry?" Li Xing's tone eased significantly, "Are the wines, vegetables and fruits ready, hurry up and lead the way?"
"Don't take a bite of a big lady, I'm just your servant girl now!" Xing'er tears in her eyes, unrelenting, "From morning to now, I haven't dared to pant out of breath after being busy, and finally prepared a big table of delicious food for your friend, but instead of appreciating it, you reprimanded me in front of the guests...... I can see through it, you still dislike me for coming from a humble background, I can't stay in this Li Mansion anymore......"
"Oh, Miss, I was wrong, I don't choose what to say, can't I talk nonsense? You want to think that the house is boring, how about I take you to Penglai Immortal Island tomorrow?" In front of Wukong and the others, Li Xing was embarrassed. It can be seen that he is very fond of the innocent and lively apricot.
"That's pretty much it, let's make up our minds, run to Penglai early tomorrow morning......" Xing'er burst into tears and smiled, turning her face to Wukong and the others, "The little girl is rude, please come with me!"
Xing'er said, leading everyone to the fragrant western room. I saw that the square table in the room was full of vegetarian vegetables and all kinds of fresh fruits.
"Xing'er's cooking skills are the best in the world, and today we all have a mouthful!" Li Xing, who was smiling, beckoned everyone to sit down.
"Don't listen to Brother Li Xing's nonsense, this is all coarse tea and light rice, let's make do with it...... "Xing'er noodles were shy, busy pouring wine and cloth dishes for everyone.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone was a little drunk, and they were no longer so restrained with each other, and they talked a lot more casually.
Li ...... Butler, dare you ask...... The head of the family is a ...... Say middle and high...... The ...... of Heaven Tower Heavenly King?" the little mute asked curiously.
"Yes, little brother. My lord is none other than the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses in the Heavenly Palace, Li Jing, the Heavenly King of Tota!" Li Xing said proudly: "During this period of time, his old man is in retreat and cultivation, so if there is anything important, I will bow to him at the appointed noon. Today, the matter is urgent, and Mr. Jin is passing by in front of the house, so I make my own opinion, first invite Mr. and all my friends into the house, and then return to the Lord. Fortunately, the Lord is forgiving, and does not accuse me of not respecting the law......"
"May I ask Brother Li, you just said that your family master is an old friend of Jin, I don't know where this came from?" Wukong was surprised in his heart, he was indeed a little familiar with the Tota Heavenly King on the Zhongtang Shenzhi.
"Mr. actually calls the little god a brother and brother, it's really annoying to the little god!" Li Xing smiled and his eyes narrowed into a slit, "Mr. Renyan was the Monkey King who came to the world five hundred years ago, and when the Great Sage was in the Heavenly Palace, he met my lord on the battlefield, and after several fights, the two sides fought a chess match and met a good talent! Since then, my lord admires Mr.'s courage and martial arts!"
"The gods have praised it falsely, the so-called great sage Linfan is just a nonsense and joke made up by good people on the rivers and lakes......" Although Wukong said this, his heart was very happy! Unconsciously, he began to gradually agree with the rumors of the reincarnation of the Monkey King.
"Swarm...... The Lord said this...... Small, ...... My brother thinks Li ...... The housekeeper said...... That's right, big ...... HomeThink carefully...... Think about it, if the swarm ...... The Lord is not Qi ...... The Great Sage ...... The world is mortal, then I ...... How could we touch ...... to so many ...... The God of Speech...... What about immortals?" said the little mute, drunk and hazy, shaking his head.
"Sure enough, if you are ambitious, you are not old, little brother is so knowledgeable!" Li Xing's eyes widened, and he raised his big fingers, which seemed quite exaggerated, "The fact that Mr. Jin is the reincarnation of the Great Sage is already well known in the Heavenly Realm! Out of worship for Mr., the little god wants to form an afterlife relationship with Mr. and tell Mr. about a little-known old feud of Buddhism. This Buddhist case is closely related to Mr., and it is related to the rise and fall of his life of honor and disgrace......"
