Sacrifice to the race country.

When Tang Sanzang and his party entered this city, it was the trend of the sunset in the western mountains, but there was also a strange prosperity in the city at dusk.

People come and go, and from the smiles of pedestrians, you can see that their lives are stable and rich, that is, from time to time there are monks in shackles and locks on the street, begging along the door, and the blue wisps are really unbearable.

And after Tang Sanzang and his party came in, the monk's dress made countless local people show curiosity.

One after another, there are monks in shackles and chains, but it is a little strange to beg along the street, especially the appearance of monks.

Zhu Bajie scratched his head after seeing it, and couldn't help but smile and stepped forward to ask: "That monk, are you from that temple?" Why are you all in chains here? ”

This group of monks is not afraid after seeing Zhu Bajie, after all, Xiniu Hezhou is full of monsters, and naturally it is not uncommon, and ordinary goblins are not so powerful, and there are many cultivators, monks and martial arts people in the human race.

"Grandpa, we are the monks of Jinguang Temple." An elderly monk couldn't help but sigh when he saw Zhu Bajie asking.

And this Zhu Bajie is also very proficient in people's hearts, and immediately took out a few taels of silver from his arms with a smile and threw them in the rice bowl in front of the old monk.

The old monk is old, naturally he is a human spirit, and there is no trace of a broken bowl, and the few taels of broken silver have disappeared, but they have been replaced with three copper plates.

I saw the old monk with a smile on his face and told Zhu Bajie where this is, after all, people's silver is not thrown in vain, and the other party's expression is a foreigner at a glance, so he naturally came to inquire about the situation.

"Grandpa, the name of this city is called Sai Sai, which is a big country in Xibang. In that year, there were four Yi tributes, the South Yuetuo Kingdom, the North Gaochang Kingdom, the East and West Liang Kingdoms, the West Benbo Kingdom, and the beautiful jade pearl and the concubine horses were paid tribute every year. If the sacrificial country does not move and does not go to the conquest, other countries will naturally worship as a superior state. ”

It's naturally not wrong to call grandpa a grandfather, after all, the other party is a goblin at a glance, and the goblin can turn into a human form for hundreds of years, and he is naturally older than him.

And Zhu Bajie immediately laughed when he heard this, but he didn't mock, mortals sat and watched the patio, just four small countries did not dare to provoke tribute every year, and as a result, they became a big country in Xibang.

"Hehe, since you are a state, I think you are a king, a virtuous man, but why are the monks here all guilty like you?"

Zhu Bajie asked with a casual smile, only to see that the old monk immediately shook his head and sighed when he heard this.

"Grandpa, the literature here is not virtuous, the martial arts are not good, and the monarch may not have a way. We are all monks of Jinguang Temple, once the temple pagoda on the auspicious clouds shrouded, the mist rises, the night glows, thousands of miles of people have seen. Under such a vision, the four countries had no different vision. Therefore, it is thought that Tianfu Shenjing, Siyi tribute. ”

However, three years ago, in the middle of the night, there was a bloody rain on Meng Qiushuo's day. When the day dawns, every family is afraid, and every household is sad. The ministers played the king, but they didn't know what the heavens were responsible for. At that time, the Taoist priest was invited to make Jiao, and the monk read the scriptures and thanked the heavens. Who knew that the golden pagoda in my temple was polluted, and foreign countries did not come to pay tribute in the past two years. My king wants to conquer the four empires. ”

Under the complaint of the old monk, Tang Sanzang, who was riding a white dragon horse behind him, suddenly laughed in his heart after hearing this, this old monk was full of resentment in his words, after all, I am afraid that this monk was once a respected existence in the temple, but now he has fallen to such a point, how can there be no resentment.

And the old monk shook his head and sighed: "All the officials say that the monks in my temple stole the treasure on the tower, so there is no auspicious cloud and mist, and the four are not in the court, and the reason is not investigated under the anger of the faint king, so the corrupt officials and corrupt officials will take down our monks, torture them in thousands of ways, and pursue them in every way." ”

When he said this, the old monk finally saw the dagger, knelt down directly at Tang Sanzang behind Zhu Bajie, kowtowed, and whined: "The master is above, how dare we deceive and steal the treasure in the tower!" Grandpa Wanwang has mercy, gathers like things, divides things into groups, gives great mercy and compassion, exerts mana, and saves our lives! ”

It turned out that it was the old monk who saw Tang Sanzang's extraordinary, after all, it was definitely the holy monk who could subdue the two monsters, but they were all monks, so they were naturally a kind of person, of course he had to seize the opportunity to pray for this glimmer of hope.

And Zhu Bajie on the side squinted at the old monk's thoughts, but Tang Sanzang shook his head with a smile after seeing it, only real experience can appreciate the customs of various countries along the way to the west, and thousands of people's hearts.

There is no saying that a monk is a good person, if a person is a person, he has seven emotions and six desires, and if the treasure in your temple is lost, how can the king not blame him.

And the loss of this treasure has affected the status of this country, directly let Siyi find a reason to take advantage of the four small countries to join forces and not pay tribute, you say how can this king not be angry, angry and angry, but the mistake can not let himself be blamed, naturally this group of monks will become the person who bears the blame, otherwise in the future, it will not be said that he is a faint king.

Looking at the old monk, Tang Sanzang on the white dragon horse clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, the poor monk is from the Tang Dynasty in the eastern soil, and he went to the West Heaven to worship the Buddha in the name of the Tang King and the Buddha of Rulai. ”

When the old monk heard this, his face was full of excitement, "It is under the name of the Western Buddha, and the holy monk is a family. ”

After hearing this, Tang Sanzang shook his head with a smile and said: "Although the poor monk is a member of the Buddhist family, he believes in ten thousand Buddhas, not the Buddha of a family. ”

In a word, you don't take righteousness to press me, if you come to the Buddha, I believe, but I also believe in other Buddhas, Lao Tzu worked hard to hurry, and you let Lao Tzu go to sweep the tower for you, thinking beautifully.

And the old monk suddenly showed a trace of loss in his eyes after hearing this, he thought that the other party was a holy monk with magic power, not to mention, but also from the so-called Dongtu Tang Dynasty, if the other party was invited to their temple, then the king would not be able to see that they would be better on this after receiving them.

I have to say that there is never a good for no reason, and there is no hatred for no reason, everything has a cause and effect.

Tang Sanzang glanced at the other party and continued to rush forward with the disciples, and the old monk also sighed helplessly. Now he can only hope that the other party can see in the face of all monks, and then let the king's punishment for them be lighter.

When Tang Sanzang walked in the direction of the post station, he also saw the tall tower of Jinguang Temple not far away.

I saw this tower, leaning on the Han and abruptly volleying into the air. It is called the five-color glazed tower, which is thirteen stories high.

"Hehe, Master, you see that this tower is so magnificent and built so high, it seems that this king has also made a lot of efforts, but it's a pity that it involves honor, how can the emperor let himself be stigmatized."

Zhu Bajie is the most thorough, whether it is the treasure stolen by the monk or not, since it has caused the non-tribute of the surrounding small countries, then it is the responsibility of this generation of emperors, but will the emperor deduct his fault on his head?

It's normal to be angry, and even Zhu Bajie smiled heartlessly, this king is not bad, if it is replaced by a little more iron-blooded, it will be killed directly.

After walking the post station, facing the monk with mana at a glance, or from the so-called Celestial Empire and the Tang Dynasty, this post was also respectfully entertained, and at the same time let people go to the palace to pass through.

After all, this is already about countries, not individuals.

Tang Sanzang came up and moved out at the order of the Tang King and the Buddha, and the sacrifice between countries must be treated solemnly, and the Buddha is more cautious.

In the spacious and luxurious post house, the exquisite and sumptuous meals are served, and this post man is even more polite, at least no one wants to lose the politeness in the hospitality, otherwise it is not them who will be ashamed, but their own country.

Under the moonlight, when Tang Sanzang and the disciples were eating fast in the room, Sun Wukong's eyes blinked with golden light, and he couldn't help laughing and said: "Master, there is a demonic aura on the top floor of the five-colored glazed pagoda in the distance, it seems that maybe the monsters have wronged this group of monks." ”

Now Sun Wukong also knows the situation of this Journey to the West, he is no longer the mentality that he can do less at the beginning, but he is about to go on when he sees things, and he quickly makes up the nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties.

Seeing this, Zhu Bajie on the side said happily: "Brother Monkey, looking at the demonic energy, it seems that there are two unsuccessful little demons, but you can go and inquire about the situation first, don't provoke the existence of the ancient elder again." ”

As soon as he heard Zhu Bajie's words, Sun Wukong suddenly slapped the fast son in the other party's hand angrily and scolded with a smile: "You idiot, you really can't spit out ivory in your dog's mouth." ”

They are also tired, but whenever a big old man comes, they are a foil, this is still a trivial matter, I am afraid that people are looking for trouble, although they will not be in danger, but no one wants to be abused.

At this time, Tang Sanzang was also secretly muttering, the Houtu Wu clan did not arrange it here, so it was either normal or the demon clan, after all, now the two Lich clans have this confidence, of course, it cannot be ruled out that seeing this Journey to the West is so lively, the people and the teachings will be mixed up.

Five-color glazed tower.

I saw Sun Wukong stepping on the clouds and taking advantage of the night to take a look, and Zhu Bajie on the side grinned even more.

I saw that on the top floor of this glazed tower, there were two small monsters sitting in the heart of the tower, with a plate of tribute in front of them, a jar of wine and a small bowl in front of each of them.

It turned out to be two little monsters guessing boxing and eating wine, and Zhu Bajie, who was covered by the clouds outside, suddenly grinned and whispered: "Brother Monkey, these two little demons are very proud, and they are still guessing boxing and drinking more freely than the old pig, and the old pig will bluff." ”

In the dim pagoda, the two little demons were flushed with alcohol and excited.

"Rush Erba, drink quickly, it's you who lose."

"Okay, Ba Boer Ben this time you are powerful, I'll drink."

The two little demons of Hutu drank wine with an excited smile on their faces, and suddenly under the dazzling golden Buddha light flashed, the two demons turned their heads and were stunned, and their expressions were dull.

I saw that under the light of the Buddha, suddenly a golden Buddha appeared in front of the two, and there was a swastika on the chest of the Buddha, at this time he looked at the two demons with a majestic expression, and his golden lips began to spit out a majestic Buddha sound.

"Demon, you dare to be presumptuous in my Buddhism!"

Kacha screamed, only to see the wine bowl in the hands of the two little demons blurted out directly to the ground and turned into pieces, and the two little demons turned pale and trembled and knelt on the ground.

"Grandpa Buddha is merciful and spares his life."

"The Buddha is merciful, the little demon really doesn't know, spare your life."

"Woo, neither of us dares anymore."

Ben Bo Er Ba and Ba Bo Er Ben never thought that they would meet the Buddha, and the two little demons who appeared in front of them were directly dumbfounded, and then they begged for mercy incoherently.

However, the Buddha who Zhu Bajie turned out with the technique of change looked at the two demons with a blank look, and the corners of his mouth slowly hooked up under the continuous buckle of the two demons.

"Demon, this Buddha is passing by here, looking at the demonic aura, and the treasure on this pagoda is lost and harmed, so many monks in Jinshan Temple have suffered, it must be the two of you who did it."

After the Buddha turned into Zhu Bajie asked for the guilt, the two little demons were directly dumbfounded, and then they shook their heads again and again in a panic.

"Grandpa Buddha, how can we two demons have this ability."

"Yes, yes, we didn't do it, it was the nine-headed insect demon king who did it, and we were all wronged."

"Yes, yes, the two of us were sent by the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King of the Rocky Mountain and Bibo Pond to patrol the tower. His name is Baba Er Ba, and my name is Baba Er Ben. He's a catfish monster, and I'm a black fish spirit. Because the old dragon of all saints gave birth to a daughter, called the princess of all saints. The princess has a beautiful face and a moon appearance, and there are twenty talents. ”

"A few years ago, there was a demon king of a nine-headed worm, and he has great powers. The year before last, he came here with the dragon king, showed great mana, and it rained blood, polluted the pagoda, and stole the relics in the tower. The princess went to the Daluo Heavenly Lingxiao Hall again, stole the nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum grass of the Queen Mother, and raised it under the pool, golden and bright, day and night. Recently, I heard that there was a Monkey King who went to the west to learn scriptures, saying that he had great powers, and he was not looking for people along the road, so these often sent me to patrol here, if there is still that Monkey King when he arrives, he is well prepared. ”

These two little demons can be said to have recruited everything in an instant, and at this time, Sun Wukong's laughter came.

"Haha, what kind of monster should my grandson be, it turns out that with this ability, what treasures can there be in the mortal world, and he actually came here to plunder."

After Sun Wukong's figure flashed out, the two little demons were terrified, and at this time, the Buddha also grinned and slowly turned into his original form.

"You guys! You guys! ”

At this moment, Ben Bo Er Ba and Ba Bo Er ran their eyes straightened, it turned out to be a monkey spirit and a pig demon, but the next moment Sun Wukong directly stepped forward and carried it one by one, and said with a smile: "My old grandson is the Monkey King you are looking for to go to the west to learn scriptures, didn't your nine-headed demon king tell you about my old grandson's ability?" I actually let you two little demons come and send them to death. ”

The two honest little demons who were directly captured and made suddenly cried.

"Grandpa Sun, our two brothers are also unable to help themselves, please spare your lives."

"Woo, yes, we're just two little demons, the nine-headed demon king asked me to wait for what to do, I naturally have to do it, otherwise I can only be swallowed in one bite."

Ben Bo Erba and Ba Bo Er Ben were crying and aggrieved and told their grievances.
