Chapter 374: Poor Monk Tang Sanzang; Wait for the poor monk to go up to Lingshan and ask the Buddha for advice on behalf of His Majesty
Of course there is no hindrance.
This group of bandits was also under the supervision of the shopkeeper Wang Xiaoer, and this time they let them drive straight in, just to catch turtles in an urn.
And this shopkeeper also wants to test the skills of these people, if they are really masters of the Tang Dynasty, these twenty or thirty gangsters will definitely not be their opponents.
But if they can't even pass this level, how can they overcome the dangers and difficulties between Datang since then?
And whether their identities are true or false is not so important.
The door was rushed open, and the customers in the store closed their doors and windows one after another, hiding in their rooms and shivering, and said in their hearts: How can any bandit dare to commit murder in the capital?
Because there are running guys in the store to lead the way, and they don't disturb those ordinary customers, how many children do they have?
The master and servant from the Tang Dynasty are the living god of wealth.
The thief rushed directly to the second floor, and the shopkeeper Wang Xiaoer glanced outward, signaling his subordinates who were ambushed around him to be ready to act at any time to prevent innocent injuries.
It's also too tight to transfer the guests, otherwise the owner Wang Xiaoer wants to replace the guests in the hotel with his own knife hands, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
However, in some empty rooms, there are also a lot of subordinates hidden at the moment, and when they start fighting for a while, they will try to solve the battle as quickly as possible and at the least cost.
Boom!
The door of the master and servant of the Tang Dynasty was kicked open.
The shopkeeper Wang Xiaoer, with a sigh of relief in his heart, raised his hand high, and once the movement was wrong, he had to put his hand down.
Then his hand was held up, and it never fell.
Because since the sound of the kicking on the door, no other sound has been heard from the second floor.
Not to mention the sound of crying for help, or the sound of begging for mercy, even the sound of the fight did not come from this movement, which is obviously even more wrong.
Driven by curiosity, the shopkeeper Wang Xiaoer stepped up to the second floor. Seeing that Mr. Chen's door was wide open, he cautiously stepped forward, listened intently for a moment, and when there was no sound in the room, he quickly probed and then retracted.
If there are others around, you will definitely be able to see the change in his expression.
From cautious to frightened, to dazed, and now to an incredible appearanceββ, as if he had hit a ghost alive.
When he stretched his head out just now, he saw a total of twenty-eight gangsters, including the three traitors in the shop, none of whom could stand up, all of them lying on the ground, unknown whether they were alive or dead.
And the moment he retracted his head, he was facing the four masters and servants of the family, with a total of eight eyes.
The shopkeeper, Wang Xiaoer, took a step forward, bowed to everyone in the room, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm down."
"The wicked people committed murder, and we knocked them unconscious here." Although Fahai learned the details of this shopkeeper Wang Xiaoer from the mouth of the great sage, he did not wait for him to reveal his identity, and said first: "I wonder if the shopkeeper can recruit officers and soldiers and send them to the prison for questioning?" β
The shopkeeper Wang Xiaoer's words were blocked, so he had to answer the gentleman's words first: "The villain has already reported to the official when he came up, and there must be a response soon." β
The two sides have a tacit understanding, the shopkeeper Wang Xiaoer saw that the other party gave him steps, he naturally borrowed the donkey from the slope and did not stay on the second floor for long, so he directly reflexively went downstairs and dismissed his subordinates directly.
Although everyone was puzzled, they all obeyed the order and retreated, and did not dwell on it.
After a short time, someone from the Five Cities Division came to the door, they obviously got the news in advance, they just took the gang of thieves away, and then roughly asked the shopkeeper and Fahai about the matter, and then left first, without bothering too much here.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning.
Then the eunuch Ouchi personally came to invite.
The shopkeeper Wang Xiaoer hurriedly knocked on the door of Mr. Wang's room, but he never expected that a monk wearing a big red robe came out of the door.
"Oops!"
The shopkeeper Wang Xiaoer exclaimed, and his heart, which was not calm, suddenly set off a storm.
This. How so?
Even if he wanted to break his head, he would never have imagined that the scribe who was still fighting with a sword last night would become a mage who holds the vows this morning.
"Amitabha." Fahai recited a Buddha name, and explained to the shopkeeper Wang Xiaoer: "The poor monk Tang Sanzang is a monk who went to the West Tianling Mountain to learn scriptures. β
The shopkeeper Wang Xiaoer smiled bitterly: "The mage should pretend to be the end, why show his true body now?" β
The Great Sage on the side spoke: "My master disguised himself yesterday for fear of causing unnecessary twists and turns. Today's restoration of the monk's true appearance is because my master is the righteous royal brother of the Tang Dynasty Emperor, and he traveled all the way west to the Daleiyin Temple in Tianzhu Lingshan, and now he is the envoy of the Tang Dynasty to see the lord of your family."
The shopkeeper, Wang Xiaoer, motioned to Master Sanzang to wait, hurriedly went downstairs, and quickly explained the matter to the "angel" in the palace.
Even if the eunuch listened to this, it was a big one. But he still glared at the shopkeeper Wang Xiaoer, if he hadn't said that there was a Shenzhou Confucian in the store, how could he have the intention of asking His Majesty in the palace to ask for advice in person?
But he thought about it for a while, and said in his heart: "Well, since he is the royal brother of the Tang King, he is the one who exercises the West, and even if he goes to his own country, he can't avoid it no matter what."
Thinking of this, the eunuch said in a deep voice: "Since you are a Tang monk, please come out and enter the palace with our family." β
There was already a fast horse to return to the palace first.
The early dynasty has dispersed, and the lord of the country is reviewing the chapter in the imperial study, and a little eunuch is about to walk inside, explain the identity change of Chen Yi and Sanzang, and wait for His Majesty's instructions.
When the lord first heard this, he also felt a little strange, but he was not angry because of it.
After thinking for a while, he made up his mind and said to the little eunuch: "After they enter the palace, they will be led directly to the imperial study. β
"Whoa."
The little eunuch agreed, turned around and walked out of the imperial study, and closed the door with his hand, and went to the palace gate to wait quietly.
The lord of the country is not a murderer, and the reason why he used the Buddhist temple to open the knife is also because the behavior of these monks in the country is too much and has exceeded his bottom line.
If nothing else, I will only say that after the destruction of the Buddha, the goods and land deeds copied from various monasteries were richer than that of him, the monarch who claimed to be the lord of a country. Far more than the spies under his command have found many times more.
It's also that they're too inauthentic.
If you only collect some incense money, the lord of the country will also open one eye and close one eye, after all, it is in the Buddhist realm of Xizhou, and the monks and Buddhist temples are more or less favored by all countries.
But often it is their virtue that cannot bear the weight of a country at all, and in the end each has its own retribution.
Not to mention that other countries that shelter bandits and even actively collude with Buddhist temples may not have the courage, but the lord of France is obviously a man who can't tolerate sand in his eyes, otherwise he will be sorry for the "Shenzi" left to him by the old prime minister.
Shen Zi was one of the hundred sages of the Warring States Period, and he learned the art of Huang Lao's morality in his early years, and he gained a lot. Shen Zi is knowledgeable about Jiang Ji, he is all-encompassing in learning, he has studied the Five Classics, and he has become one of the founders of Legalism in the Warring States Period of China.
Because of its profound learning by Taoism, it is called "Taoism".
But no matter what, his Legalist scholarship is enough to be regarded as a sage classic in the destruction of a Western continent such as France, and although the lord of this country has many dislikes, he still can't put down this book.
The lord of the country did not want to target the Buddhist monks, but the Buddhist temples in the country were arrogant, so that he could lead the country and suppress it.
It is an upright legal action, not a gentleman's character.
This is what he learned from Shenzi.
The Buddhist temple is only the first step in his surgery, and if he really wants to make the country rich and the people strong, it is still far from eradicating these superficial Buddhist temples.
He thought that he would be able to ask some knowledge of statecraft from this gentleman from the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't expect it. Mr. Confucian became a Buddhist master.
After all, it doesn't hurt to see Shenzhou characters.
Fahai was the only one who came, and several of his disciples stayed in the inn.
"Poor monk Tang Sanzang, I have seen Your Majesty." Fahai is still as polite as ever, and greets people first.
The lord of the country looked at the Sanzang Master below, and said in his heart: If the image of a high monk is really high, although he does not know his Buddhism, but with this temperament, he knows that he must be a great virtue of Buddhism.
Master Sanzang's appearance and temperament, naturally there is no need to repeat it, and along the way, only the evil monsters will suspect that he is a demon monk.
"Mage, please take a seat." The lord of the country stretched out his hand and motioned for Master Sanzang to take a seat, and after Master Sanzang took his seat, he opened his mouth and asked: "I heard that Master was ordered by the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty to worship the Buddha in Tianzhu. Have you ever seen a country like mine? β
"Everyone is different, and every country is different." Fahai smiled at the lord of the country and said: "When I passed by Zhenhai Chanlin Temple before, I also heard that the Buddhist temple in the poor country colluded with bandits, which has almost become a convention. It's just that they are living and suffering in their country, and His Majesty has his own strategy, and he dares to do it. β
For the actions of this lord, Fahai is approves.
Not all kings dare to destroy the Buddha, not to mention that this is still Xizhou.
The lord of this country was very surprised when he heard Master Sanzang praise himself. There are many Buddhist temples in other countries, and there are not a few so-called monks, but what kind of rhetoric do they have?
It is nothing more than spreading kindness, eating fasting and reciting Buddha, and giving alms of incense. To be a benevolent gentleman who loves the people, etc
The lord of the country does not deny that all the people in the country are his subjects, and he will naturally love them without anyone else's words.
He did the same.
Buddhist temples collude with bandits to bring disaster to the people. Therefore it is destroyed.
Then the monks in the Buddhist temple said that he was a cruel and unbearable tyrant, and if he did such killing karma, he would go to the Infernal Hell after death.
He asked the Tang monk about it, in fact, he was already mentally prepared to be preached, but he didn't expect it to be such a remark and it was not deliberately flattering, the tone and demeanor of the Tang monk were very natural, as if he was evaluating an ordinary thing.
With just one sentence, the depressed qi that had accumulated in his heart since he destroyed the Buddha dissipated most of it, and he couldn't help but want to laugh a few times at this moment!
But when the old prime minister taught him, he once said that he should not be angry in front of people. So he remained calm.
The lord of the country was looking at Sanzang, and Fahai was also looking at him, he saw that the lord of the country could hold his heart and not move lightly, and he also nodded secretly.
At the very least, it must be above the sacrificial country.
Amitabha. There are too many outstanding people and kings in the land of Xizhou, and fortunately, the land is vast and rich, and there are major dangers between countries, otherwise there will be a chaotic war sooner or later.
It's like Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms back then, is it really that the Six Kingdoms are too weak?
Maybe the Qin State was too strong.
The lord of the country suddenly thought of a piece of information that came not long ago, and asked Master Sanzang for advice: "The widow heard that in the poor country, just a few days later, all the bandits who were protected by the Buddhist temple were sent to prison, and the monks who acted improperly were also punished. Even if the name of the sentence in other countries is not daring to be sentenced, there are even two Buddhist protectors who detain those lawless monks in the downtown area, point out their crimes, and punish them in public."
"Dare to ask about it. Does the mage know? β
Fahai clasped his hands together: "This person who has tarnished the reputation of Buddhism should be retributed, and the poor monk has been a monk since he was a child, and he was enshrined by the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty as the position of the great monk of the world, and he was the head of the monks and got the guidance of the Bodhisattva, except for the evil deeds of the Three Realms. Therefore, when passing by Zhenhai Chanlin Temple, he heard about the poor woman's country, so he sent two disciples to punish him. β
When the lord heard this, he was even more surprised in his heart, and said in his heart: Is this what the monk really looks like?
He touched the "Shenzi" in his hand, and said in his heart: If it is really a character of the Celestial Empire, it is far from being comparable to the small realm of Xizhou such as us.
Then he had doubts in his heart, and Master Sanzang was dignified, so he asked directly: "Since Master has this Dharma, why do you have to travel thousands of miles to Xizhou to learn scriptures?" β
"Because there are scriptures in Xizhou, Lingshan is a great sect of Buddha after all, so he should go to worship. Besides, His Majesty has a life, and it is his duty to shirk it. β
"The monks in the Buddhist temples in my country only know how to chant the scriptures behind closed doors, how can there be a master who has the slightest weather?" The lord of the country sighed and said, "I heard that the mage entered the city in disguise last night, presumably because of the order of the widow. β
"Because at night, if you dress up as a monk and enter the city, it may cause a lot of entanglements, so I made this decision."
"Since the mage is pretending to be Mr. Scholar, he must also be proficient in the Confucian classics of Shenzhou, right?" The lord's eyes lit up slightly.
"I don't dare to say that I am proficient, I have dabbled in the four books and five classics, but I have gained a little from "Ram Spring and Autumn".
"The culture of the Central Plains, the widow has been yearning for a long time, but unfortunately the road is far away, and I don't know if the widow can be lucky enough to hear the Confucian holy words?"
"Amitabha." Fahai recited a Buddha name and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is not afraid of poor monks and ordinary monks, who are good at teaching Confucian scriptures and messing up grammar, and poor monks can describe some simple opinions." β
"Great goodness!" The lord of the country walked down from above, let the left and right retreat, and greeted each other with the courtesy of disciples, ready to ask Master Sanzang for Confucian knowledge.
But before that, he still explained, "The widow said that he wanted to kill four famous monks, but in fact, he didn't ask Qinghong about his indiscriminate killing, but wanted to spread this rumor, so that the monk would stay away from our country, although the widow is the king of a country, but sitting on the temple, it is really difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the monks in the rivers and lakes. If there is anything offended, I hope that the mage Haihan. β
After finishing speaking, the lord of the country cautiously asked: "Will the widow's previous actions anger the Buddha?" β
"Amitabha."
Fahai recited the Buddha's name and said with a smile: "Isn't it the Buddhist temple that angers the Buddha who is the bandits and shelters the evildoers?" If Your Majesty is worried that the Buddha will be angry because of this. When the poor monk went up to Lingshan, asked the Buddha for advice on behalf of His Majesty, and when he returned to your country after taking the scriptures, he gave His Majesty a letter of approval. β
The lord of the country was shocked when he heard this!
What kind of monk is this?!
Bandits.
Marauders, killers, like tigers and leopards in the mountains and forests, like ghosts in the underground, the common people are afraid of them, the people are disgusted with them, they hate their cruelty, and they are afraid of their domineering!
Immortals.
Those who have attained the Tao and become immortals can also rise to the top, can turn the world upside down, and the world calls them immortals, admiring their freedom and envying their chic.
And I, who am both a bandit and an immortal, am ...... Bandit Immortals!
