Chapter 167: The Sins of the Black Chicken King

Wuji country is a rare oasis in the Hanhai Sea, with a range of thousands of miles, and the king who is accustomed to seeing the daughter of the Huangsha Gobi and Sanzang all the way to the scenery and slowly marching westward.

Sanzang sighed: "It's strange to say, Nanzhan Buzhou, where Datang is located, is full of forests and mulberry everywhere, not to mention full of vitality. However, it is difficult to see green in Xiniuhezhou, but the desert is full of grass. ”

The daughter king laughed: "I have lived in Xiniuhe Island since I was a child, and I am used to seeing deserts and oases, but I feel rare when I see endless forests and farmlands. When I first arrived at Huaguo Mountain, I was even more surprised, and it was very fresh. ”

"It's that we have different experiences and different perspectives. I see the desert fresh! Haha......"

"What is fresh in the desert, life is scarce, how can there be the lush and beautiful scenery of Nanzhan Buzhou and Dongsheng Shenzhou. It is no wonder that Daomen is preaching in Dongtu, and it is estimated that Sanqing did not fancy Xiniu Hezhou from the beginning. Zhun Ti they took advantage of the loophole and went to this kind of place to preach! ”

Sanzang shook his head: "Maybe it's because the Zhun Ti sage has seen the hard work of all the spirits in the West, and he came to show mercy!" ”

"Not like that!" Daughter King denied.

"Why?"

"If they were really for the sake of life, they would have cast a spell to rain down and create fertile soil, how could they watch everything struggle to survive in the desert?"

Sanzang was reluctant to look at the Buddhist saint with this line of thought, and retorted: "Maybe it's because the mana is not enough? Or is it not appropriate to cast spells? ”

The daughter king looked at the direction of Lingshan and sneered: "The Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and King Kongs of the Leiyin Temple are all strong in their mana, how can they not have enough mana." They also have captive real dragons, even if they are lazy, let many dragons go down the mountain to make rain, how can they sit and watch the desert for thousands of years.

Besides, it is not advisable to cast spells. Brother Yu has never seen that a so-called true Taoist priest can be black-roamed by the country! In the past five years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and a thousand miles of fertile soil have been created, which is not like it is not suitable for casting spells! ”

Sanzang looked around and saw the green woods and the vast farmland, which was incompatible with the Hanhai outside the Wuji country.

His face was a little sad, and after a while, he said excitedly: "Ignore the laziness of Leiyin Temple or other reasons, where you and I will pass in the future, the poor monk will definitely cast a spell to rain!" ”

The daughter king was affectionate: "I'll help you!" ”

Sanzang smiled and nodded, looked at Lingshan from afar, and said in a low voice: "If Leiyin Temple has no compassion and the concept of equality of all beings, is it still a holy place of Buddhism......

The daughter king disdainful: "If that's the case, it's not that it's not a holy place for Buddhism, but to ask if they are considered a Buddhist gate!" ”

Sanzang was silent, took a few steps forward, and spoke: "If you say that you go to Leiyin Temple to learn scriptures, now that Mahayana Buddhism is already in hand, it stands to reason that you can return to the east." But the poor monk really can't go back, he must go all the way and go to Lingshan to verify something! ”

The daughter king smiled and said, "If you return east now, you will encounter far more calamity on the road than if you continue to go west." ”

Sanzang smiled bitterly: "There is no catastrophe on the westbound road, it's just a script." However, if you return to the east, you will inevitably be blocked by layers of obstacles, and you will want the poor monks to complete the journey to the west. ”

Before the daughter king could reply, a call came from the sky:

"Sanzang monk stop! Come back to Baoling Temple with us! ”

The daughter king and Sanzang looked back and saw that the clouds were shining, and there were eighteen Buddhist apologists flying towards them, and they landed in front of them in a few breaths.

Sanzang took a step forward, and Shi Li asked, "Amitabha, dare to ask why the Yama is preventing me from going west?" ”

Miao Yin Jialan said: "It's not to stop you from going west, but to ask you to go back to Baoling Temple and go west again." ”

"This west to learn scriptures is an ascetic, everything you encounter is cause and effect, how can there be any process?"

"Naturally. The post that Guanyin gave you is the process, and the eighty-one difficulties must be passed one by one. If you abandon the country of Wuji and do not help the king to restore the throne, you will reduce the dilemma, and the journey to the west will not be complete! ”

"Golden cicada stays!"

Another shout was heard.

Everyone looked up and saw a green-haired lion with a hideous appearance, chiseled teeth and jagged teeth, and red eyebrows and flames.

Sanzang asked, "Who are you a spirit?" ”

"I am Manjushri mount, a green-haired lion!"

"It turned out to be a bodhisattva mount!" The daughter king laughed, "I wonder why you stopped us from going west?" ”

The green-haired lion transformed into a human form, and it turned out to be the appearance of the black chicken king, and said:

"I came to occupy the country of Wuji for three years according to the decree of the Buddha. Wait for the golden cicada to save the rule of the old king and the pedestrian king before returning to the Bodhisattva's seat. You jumped to the west of Wuji City, it is bad for my future, why don't you stop it! ”

The daughter king frowned: "I don't believe it!" How could Rulai harm a mortal king for no reason! ”

"The Great Sage, this is the key point. The Buddha talks about cause and effect, how can there be calamities for no reason. ”

The daughter king did not believe it, and said, "That's talking, I'll see if it's true or false after listening to it!" ”

"It's a long story. At that time, the king of the Wuji country overthrew the tyranny and made meritorious deeds, such as sending Manjushri Bodhisattva to return to the west to prove the golden body of Arhat early, and my master Manjushri Bodhisattva changed into an ordinary monk to ask the king of the Wuji country for some fasting food to ignite him.

I didn't want the king to be stumped by a few words and speak disrespectfully, so he asked the guards to tie up Manjushri and throw it into the river to soak for 3 days, but fortunately, the golden body of Liujia saved Manjushri back to the western heavens.

When the Buddha found out about this, he asked me to go to the lower realm, push the king down the well, soak him for 3 years, and pay for the sin of disrespect! ”

The daughter king was very displeased: "It is not strange that there is a way that those who do not know, since Manjushri has changed, then the king naturally does not know, since he does not know, why is the crime of disrespect?" ”

The green-haired lion said, "It's not the sin of disrespecting Manjushri, but the sin of disrespecting the Buddha?" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"My master turned his fortune to him, and he gave him a baked cake, and asked him to pay half of the tax to Lingshan, and the king was angry, and called Lingshan a thief's cave, and Rulai was a thief's head! This is disrespectful! ”

"Wonderful!"

The daughter king clapped his hands and applauded: "What the king said is wonderful, every inch of merit is established, and if you don't give a little favor, you have to pay taxes, isn't this a clear robbery, what is it if you are not a thief!" When the king said this, I wanted to save him! ”

The green-haired lion was awe-inspiring: "The Great Sage's words are inappropriate. The Buddha is the supreme being of the West, and all living beings in the whole region must be selflessly worshipped. How can you slander the Buddha as a thief! ”

The daughter king was greatly displeased:

"Hmph, the Buddha has the ability to open up the world? Or do you have the virtue of making people from the soil, or have the achievement of refining stones to make up the sky, how can you be qualified to accept the worship of all spirits?

Mortals know that they must support the virtuous king, and they must know how to repay their kindness. Tell me, what kindness did the Buddha have to the people of Xiniu Hezhou? ”
