Chapter 155: How Am I Afraid of Him as a Tang Dynasty Monk?
The words of the lord of the country scared the abbot of the courtyard enough, can he listen to this kind of thing? Fortunately, he had already sent those monks out of the door, otherwise if the news leaked out, wouldn't it be a great disaster?
Three years ago, there was a quanzhen in the country, and he had the ability to call for wind and rain and turn stones into gold, solved the drought in the country, and became brothers with the lord of the country.
Everyone knows this.
At that time, even the incense of their Royal Baoling Temple was affected.
But then the whole truth seemed to disappear out of thin air, and he was never seen again, but he never thought that he had harmed the lord of the country, and he had become the lord of the country again.
It was also because the Buddha appeared the day before yesterday that the abbot of this courtyard enshrined Master Sanzang as a holy monk, otherwise he would not believe this kind of seeing and hearing no matter what.
"Don't make a noise about this, you alone can know about it."
"Yes, yes." The abbot of the courtyard immediately promised that he would keep his mouth shut and not teach him to leak half a cent of water and fire.
The master of the courtyard called the monks again, prepared the bath bucket, and let a few clever little servants enter to serve, and after some washing, it can be regarded as purifying the dead air and removing bad luck.
The lord of the kingdom put away all the original royal clothes, and asked the little servant to fetch two collars of cloth and wear them directly on his body; Untie the Lantian jade belt and tie a yellow silk tape; I put down the carefree shoes and replaced them with a pair of old monk shoes.
When he came to everyone again, he was already dressed as a civilian, but he could still see his unusual temperament.
"Wujing."
Fahai looked at it for a long time and called the sand monk.
"Master, what do you command?"
"Divide your salute in half."
Sha Seng was a little unsure, but he still listened to the master's words and divided the salute into two parts.
Seeing that Wujing was well divided, Fahai looked at the lord of the country: "How about bothering the lord of the country to pick up a burden and follow me to the forty-mile mountain road?" ”
The lord of the country did not hesitate to hear this, stepped forward and picked up a burden, and said: "Holy monk, the grace of saving life, like recreating parents, Xiao Wang is willing to hold the whip and fall into the stirrup, serve the holy monk, and go to the west with him... Now that my king is also an adult, and he is quite talented, this time he has expelled the demon way, and the little king will be passed on to him, and there is nothing to remember..."
"The lord of the kingdom is cautious." Fahai stopped him with one hand and continued.
The Great Sage also arrived in front of the lord of the country, and said with a smile: "I'm waiting to go to the Western Heavens, there are dangers along the way, if I take you... When you encounter a monster, you have to let my master distract and take care of it. If you go to the west with you, I am afraid that you will take revenge. ”
"Oops!" When the lord of the country heard the words of the great sage, he didn't know how to respond for a while, and his expression was still a little cramped.
The Great Sage patted him on the shoulder and signaled him to relax: "You only pick forty miles to enter the city, wait for the capture of that Quanzhen, return your justice, and you will still be your king... If you can let the people of this country live and work in peace and contentment, you will live up to my master's rescue of you. ”
This is also a famous hall of cause and effect, which can be regarded as taking the initiative to resolve this life-saving cause and effect.
"Thank you, Elder, for your advice." The lord hurriedly bowed down and thanked him.
A few people walked all the way—
The great sage saw that although the lord of the country had been the monarch for many years and had not been resurrected for a long time, the way he carried the burden was also very authentic.
Even at the beginning of the Eight Precepts, he was far inferior to him.
The Great Sage suddenly paused a few steps, walked with the monarch, and asked, "I forgot to ask yesterday, what happened to the monk who was punished in the moat?" ”
"Although he is a scoundrel, he will not sin to death, and the little king only has people put him in the water during the day and carry him out at night. Neither did he stop eating, but he did not repent, and did not take a bite..."
After such a stalemate for three days and three nights, Xiao Wang saw that he was stubborn, and saw that he was soaked in water, and he did not damage his body, and it was a pity for his good bones. He wanted to sharpen his character, so that he could change his ways. So he sent him to work on the farm, so that he could experience first-hand that food is not easy... But the herald went, but found that he had broken the rope and did not know where to flee. After the lord finished speaking, he asked the Great Sage in a low voice, "Elder, is that monk really a messenger of the Spirit Mountain?" ”
Although he didn't think that he had done a bad job in this matter, after all, it was an act to offend Lingshan, how could he not worry?
"Don't worry." The Great Sage pondered for a while, then comforted him and said, "Those immortal Buddhas have been worshiped by the world, but one by one they pretend not to eat the fireworks in the world... If he dares to embarrass you again, my grandson will help you get justice... If I can't speak well, won't my master be here? ”
"It's the pole, it's the pole." Bajie also helped on the side, "With my master here, don't worry." ”
Seeing the two disciples touting like this, Fahai was a little helpless for a while, if he really provoked any great power for a while, he would definitely ask you two rebels to go up and learn his methods.
A few people walked away, and at the same time chatted about the past, especially when the lord of the country talked about his life before he founded the country, the black chicken people were bored, and they were even more tearful and sobbing words... It can be said that whenever there is a bite to eat, he will not rise up.
"The people really don't ask for much." The lord of the country sighed, "It's me who came from a clay-legged background, and now I only let them eat a full meal, and I praise them everywhere... This throne seems to be sitting in a widow, but if it weren't for the people who died back then, how could there be a little king today? Wei Zheng, a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, once said that the people are like water, the king is like a boat, and the water can carry a boat or overturn a boat... The widow thinks so. Therefore, the more they boasted, the less I dared to make mistakes or omissions, for fear of losing their trust. ”
"You're a good emperor." Fahai opened his mouth at this moment: "Even the gods and Buddhas don't dare to really harm you, so you have the opportunity to return to the yang today... Perhaps it is not the poor monk who really saved you, but your nearly 20 years of governance and the virtue of teaching the people. ”
All the disciples said in unison: "Good! ”
The masters and apprentices walked on the road for a long time, and then they saw that the city was close to each other, and the lord of the country opened his mouth and said to Master Sanzang: "Holy monk, there is the capital of Wuji in front of you." ”
The Great Sage and the Little White Dragon had already been here twice, so they naturally recognized it, "Exactly, let's hurry into the city to do something." ”
The two of them were warmongers, and the Great Sage had been promised by his master to surrender this monster to him, so he was already impatient.
The five masters and apprentices entered the city with the lord of the country who pretended to be a porter, only to see that the characters in the market were neat, the scenery was lively, and then looked at the Fengge Dragon Tower, which was also very magnificent... Xiao Bailong asked on the side: "Your Majesty, what you see in front of you is better than when you were in power?" ”
The lord of the country looked complicated, "Don't say that it was the drought five years ago... Even when Xiao Wang's reign was at its most prosperous, it was not as good as the current tenth-twelfth. ”
He was momentarily frustrated.
The Great Sage said on the side: "It's not a secret, that demon path is all true... More diligent than His Majesty. ”
"Ahh
"Your Majesty should not be presumptuous, if it were not for Your Majesty to recuperate for more than ten years, I am afraid that the disaster five years ago would have caused a country to be in trouble. This fake monarch also borrowed His Majesty's court to have this act..."
"Thank you for the persuasion of the holy monk, Xiao Wang understands." can be the founding king, this black chicken country lord is definitely not a person, he now has only one idea, to sort out the false king's policy of governing the country, and turn it into his own use.
The lord of the country asked Master Sanzang rhetorically: "The holy monk is from the upper state to the lower level, how is my country compared to the Tang Dynasty in front of me?" ”
"If you only talk about the overseas palace building in front of you, and then talk about the singing and dancing in the streets... There is also a bit of Tang Dynasty luxury. Seeing that the lord of the country seemed to be a little indulged in the bright scene of the red clouds of this treasure fan and the green mist of fresh robes, Fahai said: "Your Majesty, this kind of golden fan is a manifestation of a country's strength, but... The poor monk felt that he should pay more attention to the people's livelihood and suffering, and if His Majesty was confused, he might as well think more about the difficulties in the wilderness back then, or maybe what was the peaceful scene. ”
When the lord of the country heard this, he was shocked, and it seemed that there was a bright light, because he was carrying the burden, he just respectfully said to Master Sanzang: "Xiao Wang is taught." ”
Bajie looked at it for a while, he touched his stomach, and then looked at the lord of the country on the side, his eyes rolled slightly: "Master, should we go to the yamen first to change the customs clearance documents, or what?" ”
Before the master could speak, the senior brother spoke first: "Let the legitimate lord of the country here, we will go straight to the main hall of his palace, and if the demon is subdued, we will ask the lord of the country to seal it, won't it save a lot of trouble?" ”
The lord of the country also said: "That's right. ”
Bajie thought for a while and said, "After the demon is eliminated, can there be entertainment?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Seeing that it was Bajie who said this, the lord of the country nodded again and again.
Wasn't this elder's share of food this morning the one the elder let it take?
"Oh!" Bajie was quite happy when he saw that the lord of the country should respond, but after a while, he felt that something was wrong, and specially instructed: "I can tell you in advance, old pig, this time you are entertaining us, but not us... It needs to be a serious imperial meal. ”
The lord of the country couldn't cry or laugh for a while, which caused everyone to laugh for a while.
When he walked towards the palace, Bajie said again: "Master, if you go straight to the court... Do you still have to bow down when you see the false king? ”
"You idiot, you used to be clever, why are you stupid now?" The Great Sage's words were a little colder: "He is a fake monk, can An accept the master's gift?" ”
The lord of the country also said on the side: "Even the little king is now worshipping the holy monk, and there is no way to let the holy monk and the elders worship at all." ”
Walking to the palace gate, everyone stopped under the wave of the forbidden army's fingers, and the great sage arched his hand to the master, took out the golden hoop stick from his ear, played a flower stick in front of him, and said, "Master is a little safe, wait for the disciple to go and open the way!" ”
The Great Sage led to the Chaomen and the Pavilion Gate ambassador and said: "We are the people who came to the West Heaven to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures from the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Soil, and now we are here to exchange Guan Wen..."
The forbidden army saw that the Great Sage took out his stick and was about to press it with his weapon, but he heard a voice: "Wait!" ”
Everyone asked about the prestige, and saw that it was the prince who came in a hurry.
It turned out that the little prince knew that today's Sanzang master and apprentice were going to enter the court to eliminate demons, and he was afraid that the guards of the forbidden army would collide with the monks and lose his life; Second, I am afraid that his master and apprentice will not be able to enter the temple smoothly, and there will be twists and turns... Therefore he waited here to bring them into the temple himself.
"You go to pass the word and lead the Tang Dynasty holy monks to the temple." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave an order to the Yellow Gate on the side.
The Huangmen official immediately entered the end gate, knelt down and said: "There are six monks outside the gate, saying that the Tang Guoqin of the Eastern Tu sent to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures, and now it has been reversed for Guan Wen. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already introduced the palace gate and is about to walk outside the palace. ”
When the first false king heard this, he didn't know why, his heart trembled three times, and he secretly muttered: How can I be afraid that he is a monk of the Tang Dynasty?
He regained his mind and said solemnly: "Xuan! ”
