The Great Sage talked with the two Taoist priests outside the city for a while, and it was really as the little white dragon said, because the three great immortals succeeded in asking for rain twenty years ago, and were later introduced as guests by the lord of the country and worshiped as the national teacher.

The so-called upward and downward effect, the upper is good, and the lower will be very good, this Che Chi country can be described as a good way of civil and military officials, rich people, elders love the virtuous, the first class This is the long live king of Che Chi country.

Moreover, with these three national teachers here, the wind and rain in the past 20 years have been smooth in the Chechi Kingdom, and it is common sense for the subjects to believe.

Perhaps the dignitaries and nobles were catering to the lord of the country and wanted to get some elixir from the hands of the three national teachers, but the people were still full of simple feelings, because the worship blessed them with a year of good weather and surplus food, nothing more.

Why did the whole country tear down the Buddhist temple, but the people who also went to worship the Buddhist temple incense turned a blind eye?

On the one hand, it is a decree of the imperial court, and on the other hand, it has also lost the support of the people.

The great sage watched the monks work, and the two little Taoist priests supervised the work, so they didn't stay long, as for rescuing these monks who were suffering here. The Great Sage did not move this compassion this time.

If the people suffered, he came to his aid.

Since it was a monk and monk who encountered a disaster, even the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas did not bless them, it can be seen that they are not sincere, and he is a passing monk or not to meddle in his affairs.

Moreover, he also learned some Buddhist truth from his master, that suffering in this life is to eliminate disasters in future generations, and looking at their current situation, they must be a wealthy and noble family after reincarnation.

"Amitabha." The great sage silently recited a Buddha name in his heart, and said in his heart, "Don't let my grandson save them, but let them not be perfect when they are reincarnated, and in the end they will complain that my grandson ruined their chances."

Master often said that most people do not seek the next life, but only this life, so when they meet the people who are suffering, we should not treat them as Buddhist monks, but only ask them to suffer disasters and hardships, but to give them practical help in material life and help them get out of the sea of suffering in front of them, which is the merit.

The monks and monks of Buddhism are different, and they seek spiritual satisfaction and liberation more than physical suffering.

That's what the master said, and the Great Sage also remembered that there were many deviations in actual practice, and it was the first time that the Great Sage had encountered such a situation, and he had no experience to refer to before.

In fact, judging from the thoughts of the great sage himself, these monks are not concerned about some punishment here, and the incense offered by the people and the money issued by the court are said to be dedicated to the Bodhisattva, but are they still enjoyed by the monks?

In the end, they can't ask for the rain, whose fault is it?

If you don't have a diamond, don't do porcelain work.

It is reasonable to demolish his mountain gate and destroy his Buddha statue.

Regardless of whether these monks sincerely chant Buddha, people are affected by disasters in a country, and you don't show your spirit to help people get through the difficulties, who will you demolish if you don't demolish them?

What Master said is indeed right, the gods and Buddhas should be grateful and supported by the world after helping the world, so they will receive incense.

It shouldn't be like this, you receive my incense first, and then I will help you.

In this way, what is the difference between gods and Buddhas and laypeople?

Besides, this time he received incense and did not manifest himself.

It's not just a layman, it's just a god stick in the name of gods and Buddhas.

The Great Sage entered the city.

Straight into the national teacher's mansion, I saw the three national teachers meditating and discussing, although at a glance I saw that the real bodies of these three national teachers were spirits and Taoists, but in the place where I could see a piece of Taoist Xuanmen authentic charm, thunder rolling, full of fierceness.

As Xiao Bailong said, these three national teachers also have some Taoism, but how powerful they are. I'm afraid that the sum of the three is not enough for the Great Sage to fight alone.

The great sage saw the three national teachers and went to the palace to see the depth of the king.

Temple outside the city.

Fahai suddenly looked at the down-and-out Confucian student, and when he heard him say that it was his teacher who asked him to teach cultural education, he asked curiously, "Dare to ask Lingshi who is?"

The down-and-out Confucian priest bowed to Fahai and said, "The family teacher has to be crowned Xuan's father in this dynasty."

Bajie and the others didn't know why, and they didn't know who he was talking about, but Fahai and his expression changed in an instant, and he only saw him

He stood up and saluted the down-and-out Confucian and said, "I don't know the surname of the gentleman?"

"I don't dare to say respect, let alone Mr., Xiao Ke's surname is Zeng."

Fahai saluted him again, but this time he came closer and asked, "But Mr. Ziyu."

"Does the mage recognize Xiao Ke?"

"Although Sanzang is a disciple of Buddhism, he has also studied Confucian scriptures a little and gained a little." Fahai was much more polite, "I have heard for a long time that the sages of my human race can fly to the Fire Cloud Cave after attaining the Tao, how can Mr. come back easily?"

"Some time ago, the Jade Emperor visited Huoyun Cave and said that the people of Xiniu Hezhou were ignorant, although they were educated, but they were fascinated by immortals and Buddhas, so that agricultural affairs gradually became abandoned, culture and education were not prosperous, and the decree of a country was almost child's play. Therefore, I am looking for a Confucian student to preach here and show enlightenment." Mr. Ziyu said seriously: "The teacher said that I was the most unsuccessful and deserved to go down to the world, so he threw me into Chechi Country."

When Fahai was talking to Mr. Ziyu, Bajie also whispered to Senior Brother Sha and Little Bailong, "What is Master talking to that Confucian student? What Xuan Father? What Mr. Ziyu? Why have I never heard of a pig?"

Wujing said with a smile: "Second Senior Brother is lonely and unheard, this Xuan Father is the sage of my human race, the Confucian patriarch Kong Zhongni. The reason why he is called Xuan's father is that the Son of Heaven posthumously gave him a canonization."

"It's not that I'm lonely and unheard, it's that you talk all the bells and whistles, just saying that he is Confucius, how can I not know?" Bajie suddenly became curious again: "Something is wrong, how do you know?"

"Naturally, I asked Master."

Bajie asked again, "Master is a monk, how can he be clear about Confucian affairs?"

"Naturally, Master is well-informed, not only proficient in Buddhism, but also knowledgeable."

Bajie was happy: "This is not true, the master himself said, he is not proficient in the scriptures."

Xiao Bailong said on the side, "Second Senior Brother, is it possible that you are not proficient and not knowing, are two different things?"

Wujing also said, "Second Senior Brother, is it possible that Master is just modest?"

"It's still not right, how can you remember to ask your master about Confucianism?" Bajie was not convinced.

Wujing flipped through the box, turned out the four books and five classics and put them in front of the second senior brother, and said, "Naturally, I saw something incomprehensible and asked the master for advice."

"Hey!!" Bajie's eyes widened and he said, "How do you have these books?"

Wujing explained, "When I was in the Treasure Elephant Kingdom, the second senior brother was looking for spices everywhere, and the younger brother went to find the master of the country who copied them. After all, the Buddhism of the Baoxiang Kingdom is all fake, but the lord of the country admires the culture of the Central Plains, and these four books and five classics were brought back by him from the Central Plains, and they are all genuine."

Xiao Bailong smiled when he heard this: "No wonder Kong Sheng wants to throw this Mr. Ziyu to the Chechi Kingdom, the lords of the Baoxiang Country and the Wuji Country in front of him are both wise and capable, although there are also Buddhist and Taoist incense in the country, but it is not that the two religions control the government."

The chivalrous warrior didn't know when he had come over, and took over the conversation, "That Buddha and Tao, do a daily practice, and persuade good beliefs is okay, but you really have to talk about governing the country. I'm afraid that sooner or later the dynasty will be ruined."

Although they worship the Buddha with the Master, it is not a blind worship and belief in the Buddha, but more like a constraint on their own behavior and expectations for the future.

At this moment, although the words of this chivalrous warrior were not listened to, they also felt that it made sense, and Bajie smiled and said: "If the Taoist priest is called to power, the whole country is alchemizing for immortality, and everyone wants to become an immortal."

The little white dragon then said, "If all the subjects of a country believe in the Buddha. Bad!"

"What?"

"How many precepts does Buddhism have? Only one of them can't commit the Yin Tribulation, and I'm afraid that before long, this country will be gone."

"Hahahaha." The knight laughed, "Reasonable, reasonable. But they can worship the Bodhisattva, and doesn't the Bodhisattva have a name called Guanyin?"

Wujing said on the side: "This is not true, if there is really a country whose subjects all believe in Buddhism, I am afraid that all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will be attracted to cross the country, turn the country into a Buddha country, and bring it into the Western Heavenly Bliss, and there will be no more suffering, only need to honestly recite the Buddha's sutras and offer incense of faith."

The chivalrous man sneered, "In this case, is man still human?"

Wujing glanced at him and said curiously, "Naturally not

People, people have seven emotions and six desires, life and death, sorrows and joys, they are detached Buddhist believers, they can be called Buddhas."

Seeing the commotion here, Fahai and Mr. Ziyu also stopped their academic exchanges, and the two walked over together, but Fahai asked first, "Dare to ask the strong man."

"Under the surname Zhang, a single name is a Ren word, it is a Tang ranger, the first time to Xiniu Hezhou travel, happened to pass by this car Chi country, heard that the country demolished the temple to destroy the Buddha, did not ask the reason to arrest the monk, so I came to see what kind of king it is, and has such great courage." At this, the knight chuckled lightly and said, "But I never thought of him as a foolish king."

Mr. Ziyu pondered in his heart for a moment and said, "Xiao Ke just arrived here, and he still doesn't know the people's feelings. I also ask my brother to teach me."

This Zhang Ren told Mr. Ziyu about the incident of asking for rain twenty years ago.

Fahai, Bajie and others also listened to it, and there was no difference from what Xiao Bailong said.

"It's nothing." Zhang Ren changed his words and said, "If it is just to punish the monks of his own country, although I don't know if there is any national law to prove it, it is still reasonable. But there is a wanderer who has come here, even if he asks the king to receive the reward, which is also considered ordinary. But if a monk from other places comes, regardless of distance or distance, he takes it to the Taoist as a helper. Doesn't that seem right?"

He didn't wait for everyone to speak, so he continued, "Not only that, it is said that the three immortal elders played the king, and they also drew the shadow figures of the monks, and hung them around. In the entire territory of Chechi, there is a monk map in the places where the shops in the prefectures, counties, and villages are gathered, and there is a picture of a monk on it, and on it is the inscription of the royal pen."

"If he holds an official position, he shall be given a monk, and he shall be promoted to the third rank; If he has no official position, he will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver if he gets a monk."

Zhang Ren sneered: "Everyone, not to mention that the unofficial takes a monk fifty taels of silver, just say that the official can be promoted to the third level by taking a monk, isn't this a disaster?"

Bajie rolled his eyes and said, "If the official first pretends to tell the monk to escape, and then arrests the monk back, and so on. I'm afraid I don't want to sit on the dragon chair of this emperor."
