Chapter 154: Why Can't You Eat This Fast?
"Xiao Wang, thank you for the grace of the holy monk's life."
Up to now, the lord of the black chicken country has been convinced by this Sanzang master, in addition to becoming brothers, worshipping as a national teacher, and sharing the country... He couldn't really think of a second way.
There is a lesson from the demon road, but this black chicken country lord is confident that he didn't look away this time.
Master Sanzang is a holy monk of the Tang Dynasty, but Quanzhen is a Zhongnan Demon Dao.
But just as he was about to speak, the Sanzang Master seemed to have a sense, and first blocked his words, and said, "Your Majesty, please hurry up, in fact, the poor monk still has some things to ask here." β
Fahai is good at observing people's hearts, and before the lord of the black chicken country has spoken, he has already guessed that the lord of the country is talking about the words of the monarch of the treasure elephant country.
It is said that he is a monk, but when he passes through a country, the king of this country must become a brother with him and worship himself as a national teacher... It's also interesting to say, this head seems to have started from the Tang King, but the Tang King only worshiped eight times as a friend, but he never wanted to worship himself as a national teacher.
Since the conversation was blocked by Fahai first, the lord of the country put his mind back, maybe after the demon is subdued and the demon is eliminated, he will really regain the throne, and then worship the holy monk, which can show his sincerity even more.
Thinking of this, he bowed down and said: "What the holy monk asks, the little king will say." β
Seeing that he agreed, Fahai asked him: "Before the drought in your black chicken country, did you have anything unusual?" β
"Unusual?" The lord of the black chicken country frowned, and he couldn't think of anything unusual for a while.
Seeing him entangled, the Great Sage mentioned a sentence: "Or it just happened to you, such as have you offended anyone?" Not.... This is not a good thing to say, after all, you are the king of a country, and it should be others who offend you... If you think about it, did some weirdo bump into you, and you punished the other party easily, but you didn't take it to heart? β
After listening to the words of the Great Sage, the lord of the black chicken country paced in the hall more than once, and after he walked back and forth a few times, he suddenly stopped his steps, clapped his hands, and exclaimed: "Oops! As soon as the elder said this, Xiao Wang remembered something in his heart! It's a rude false monk! β
"Rude false monk?" The five masters and apprentices immediately looked at him and said in their hearts, "Is there really another cause and effect!?" β
"Your Majesty is not in a hurry, please take a seat." Fahai pointed to the futon on the side, but he didn't urge him, "Your Majesty has thought about this matter carefully, and I'll listen to it." β
The tone was quite soft.
You have to calm the lord of the kingdom first.
"Yes, yes, yes." The lord of the country listened to Fahai's instructions, although he didn't know why Master Sanzang attached great importance to this matter, but since it was needed by the holy monk, he should have thought it through before telling it
The lord of the kingdom muttered to himself for a long time, and after going through the situation of the day in his mind, and after making sure that nothing was missing, he spoke: "This incident was also the same situation six years ago, when I waited for the kings and ministers to go out of the city, but at the gate of the city I met a monk who was walking on his feet and stopped the way, saying that he wanted to eat for a fast. When I saw that he was in rags, I told him that he was an ascetic wanderer, so I asked my companion to bring him food. β
"Monk fate, you fast... What's wrong with that? β
Xiao Wang was also surprised. The lord of the country showed a little helplessness on his face, "The holy monk doesn't know, that monk has a big temper, and he probably isn't a serious monk... At first, he thought that my fasting was not good, so he refused to eat, and asked Xiao Wang to take the good ones to entertain... He also said that Xiao Wang was a hypocrite, and when he saw that he was a wandering monk, he used some fasting to pass the time at will..."
When the Great Sage heard this, he became interested at first, and asked curiously, "How do you speak?" β
"In fact, when he refused to fast, Xiao Wang expected that he was a monk who came pretending to be a monk who wanted to deceive Xiao Wang... It's not that Xiao Wang is reluctant to fast, in fact, if he is in a secluded place, it doesn't matter if he has a royal meal, but at the gate of the city, all the people are watching, and this is really not the case. β
"Oh?" The Great Sage asked, "What does this mean?" β
"The elder doesn't know, some people are inert by nature, if they know about it, and then spread it, they will all pretend to be this wandering monk to transform the imperial diet... What should Xiao Wang do with them? β
"Amitabha, the Buddha advises people to be good, and should not make people lazy." Fahai nodded slightly, and said, "The lord of the country disposed of this monk because of this?" β
"After all, Xiao Wang is the king of a country, and he will not embarrass him because he is cheating and cheating... I just want to teach him a truth, it is not easy for all people to get food, and since the food is not good, he should not give it up lightly... Xiao Wang took the dish and ate it in front of him. Ask him... I can eat this fast, why can't you, a monk, eat it? β
Bajie asked first: "Is that fasting delicious?" β
"It's a daily routine, and it's enough to eat a good stomach." The lord sighed again: "My family was also poor back then, even the roots of the tree were eaten, and this meal was temporarily bought by Xiao Wang from the people on the edge of the city... The taste is just ordinary. β
Fahai nodded secretly when he heard this, he knew that the lord of the country had not lied, and asked again: "What did the monk say?" β
"Heh-" The lord of the country sneered and said: "It is also pretentious, saying that Xiao Wang is a person who knows the suffering, and only digests his imperial meal, and then crosses Xiao Wang to Naling Mountain to be a golden-bodied Arhat and get a positive result." β
At this point, Fahai and all the disciples looked at each other, and said in their hearts: This is the key!
The Great Sage hurriedly asked, "What is your answer?" β
"Such cunning and cunning people should be punished and set an example." At this moment, the lord of the country showed a little bit of the bearing of the lord of a country, and said in a deep voice: "But the widow also gave him a chance, the imperial meal is not, if you want to eat the fasting meal just now, I will bring him another one... He didn't eat it, but he said that Xiao Wang didn't know good people, couldn't enter the western sky, and couldn't climb to bliss. β
"Xiao Wang didn't want to deal with him, so he had to expel him, but he still refused to leave, and said that Xiao Wang would have retribution in the future... Again and again, again and again, Xiao Wang could not bear it anymore, so he ordered the guards to tie up one of the ropes and send him to the moat, so that he, the monk who stretched out his hand to ask for food, to see how the people outside the city worked, and how this rice and bean soup came about. β
After saying this, the lord of the country hurriedly bowed to Master Sanzang and explained: "I only said that he is a fake monk, and the holy monk must not misunderstand." The master is a high-ranking monk of the Tang Dynasty, have you ever heard that the monk dislikes fasting and does not eat? That must be a scoundrel..."
Broken.
Fahai listened to his story, first pondered for a while, digested it in his heart, and then asked, "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about it... The fake monk in your mouth may really be a Lingshan envoy who wants to cross you to Lingshan? β
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." The lord of the country shook his head at first, but when he looked at Master Sanzang, he reacted that this was a hypothesis, and he said, "It's true, and I can't leave the subjects of a country behind." β
Fahai's eyes lit up and asked, "What about this?" β
"At the beginning of the dynasty, a hundred ruins are waiting to be rebuilt... I have worked hard for more than ten years to restore people's livelihood a little... If there really was a Bodhisattva and a true Buddha who came to cross me at that time, I wouldn't have been able to go. If I go, although there is a prince, but he is young, even if he ascends the throne and does not obey the public, if he loses the government, he will move the country, the court has turmoil, and the people are still suffering, and the little king's more than ten years of hard work will not be in vain? Even for the sake of the people of this country, Xiao Wang can't tolerate such a pick. β
"Amitabha, good, good!" Fahai got up and bowed to the lord of the country, and said: "Although Your Majesty is not in Lingshan, but if you act like this, you can also be a Buddha of ten thousand families, why do you need Lingshan to cross." β
"Wonderful, wonderful." The Great Sage folded his hands on the side and fanned, "This is fair, my old grandson will definitely ask Rulai in person when he goes to Lingshan." β
Fahai thought in his heart, what is Pudu sentient beings, and is it only Pudu that crosses the world into Buddhism?
Who is it that purifies all beings?
What about the lord of the black chicken country?
......
After these words, another night has passed.
I saw that the abbot of the temple, the head of the temple, personally rectified the morning fast, and brought his disciples to dedicate, but at this entrance, he saw a lord wearing a dragon robe talking with the holy monk, and he was startled.
"The poor monk greets Your Majesty."
He had some drumming in his heart, he only saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going up the mountain yesterday, but he had never heard that His Majesty was coming... When did he enter the temple? When did you enter the meditation hall of Venerable Sanzang?
Why didn't you have a pass beforehand? What do the novices who guard the mountain gate eat?
This is a bad thing, he prepared five portions of this food... How does this make him serve the food?
Seeing that the abbot of the courtyard knelt down to greet His Majesty, the disciples and monks who followed him also hurriedly knelt on the ground to salute.
"Excuse me, excuse meβ"
The abbot of the courtyard stood up tremblingly, and the king only glanced at it, and knew that he was worried in his heart, and when he was about to open his mouth to relieve the siege, he saw that Bajie had already taken the lunch box from the hands of those disciples and began to distribute it, "Your Majesty, and taste the food in this temple, how is it better than that of the people at the city gate?" β
The king saw it clearly, and sure enough, the five servings of fasting were mostly in one of his own places, but the bearded King Kong, who was stout and strong, was empty-handed. When he was about to give up the food in front of him, Bajie said: "Your Majesty can eat with confidence, he doesn't open his mouth as a junior brother of Lao Zhu, and he doesn't eat every day." β
The abbot of the courtyard said: This is wrong, the fasting meals sent in the past are all shareless...
Bajie seemed to know what he was thinking, turned back to him and said, "The extra one you sent in the past is all close to the old pig's belly, and there is no waste... Rest assured. β
The lord and abbot subconsciously looked at his body and belly, and suddenly felt credible.
The abbot of the courtyard instructed the disciples to wait outside the meditation hall first, and he could serve inside alone. After a while, seeing that the lord of the country had almost eaten, the abbot boldly asked: "How did Your Majesty get to the temple, why didn't you call in advance, I will wait to arrange the pick-up." β
The lord of the country first looked at Master Sanzang, and when he saw the master nodding, he spoke: "The lord of the country in the city is pretending to be a demon, and the widow was killed by a monster three years ago. β
