As soon as Wujing's words fell, the foreheads of the three people in the audience received a beam of light, and a complete volume of cultivation methods appeared in their minds.

"Master Xie gave you the law!"

Wujing's set of cultivation methods was what he learned back then, although it could not be compared to the Tongtian Sect Master, but for the three monsters, it was already a supreme exercise.

On the other hand, if it weren't for Wujing giving them exercises, they would have stopped in the realm of heavenly immortals in this life.

The three monsters in the audience kowtowed reverently, and a gust of incense blew through, and Wujing withdrew from the statue and flew into the air. Muttering to himself:

"In this way, there will be no problem for the master to change the official document when he arrives in Che Chiguo! If you have the opportunity, maybe you can build another Sanzang Temple! ”

Thinking of this, he drove out of the city and fell straight to Tang Sanzang's side.

Tang Sanzang sensed it, stopped the Buddhist scriptures in his mouth, and asked, "Why have you been there for so long?" ”

Wujing sat down cross-legged and slowly said what he knew.

Sanzang was surprised when he heard this, and his daughter King also opened her mouth in surprise, and Bajie was still practicing as if she hadn't heard it.

After a moment of silence, Sanzang turned his head and asked the monk not far away, "Fang Cai, have you all heard?" Am I telling the truth? ”

A rather old monk ran over in small steps: "Master, you flying white-clothed apprentice, most of what you said ...... This one...... It's true! ”

"At that time, the Buddhism of Chechi was quite prosperous, and the monastery controlled more than eighty percent of the country's land, and every harvest season, the granary in the temple could be filled.

The monks are indeed wide and fat, and the people really have no place to stand!

Moreover, the abbots of each temple did pray to the Buddha for rain after taking the offerings and gold and silver, and at this time, Lingshan would indeed send Buddhist disciples to rain down the rain, but was it linked to money? We little Shani don't know!

But if it is said that King Chechi persecuted Buddhism because of this, it would be a big mistake! ”

Sanzang asked expressionlessly, "It seems that you admit the mistakes made by the Buddhas!" But why is it that the king is not? ”

"The king hated Buddhism, not because the people were not well fed and clothed, nor because they could only rain after calling for gold, silver and grain, but because the king fell in love with the wealth in the temple!"

Sanzang and the others used the delusion-breaking technique to stare at the old monk for a moment, and asked, "Why are you so sure?" ”

The old monk said: "It cannot be denied that the people have no place to stand, but it is not right to say that the people are miserable.

At that time, more than half of the people in the entire Chechi country were monks, but only a small number of them were ordained, and most of them were lay disciples, these disciples cleaned the Buddhist hall, cultivated in the fields, and could marry wives and have children, and they lived a fairly good life!

For other landless people, you can eat a bowl of gruel in the porridge shed of the temple every day, and you won't die of hunger!

Over time, sixty percent of the people in Che Ci Kingdom became monks or disciples in the temple, and two percent of the lazy people mixed around the temple waiting for that bowl of gruel. The king can dispatch less than 30 percent of the people.

Because of this, the temple was self-financed, accumulating more and more food and clothing, which would be used to trade with the palace ministers and the people of the surrounding countries, thus accumulating a lot of wealth!

Most of this wealth was transported to Lingshan, and a small part existed in the temple to ensure food and clothing! But the king of Che Chi obviously did not believe it, he concluded that the wealth of the whole country was controlled by Buddhism, but because Buddhism controlled the rainfall, he had to swallow his anger and let it go!

Later, the immortals of the three Daomen arrived, and they didn't want gold or silver, as long as they made very few offerings, and helped the king ask for rain!

At this time, the king's confidence was instantly sufficient, and with a wave of his hand, he confiscated the temples across the country, dismissed the lay disciples across the country, and locked up the ordained monks! ”

"Locked up? Didn't you say to be a slave? ”

The old monk explained: "Being a slave is a later thing! In the beginning, we just became prisoners and were locked up in cells. Every day, the king would bring a few people out and let them go to the temple to look for gold and silver treasures.

Knowing that all the temples of the country had been looted by him, the treasury was full, but in the king's opinion, the monks still hid a shocking amount of wealth.

He tortured us, but all the wealth was transported to Lingshan, and it was impossible to get it back.

Naturally, the king did not believe these words, tortured us over and over again, and finally decided that we were hard-mouthed, so he called us slaves, enslaved for a long time, hoping that someone would not be able to bear the suffering and tell the treasure land! ”

Wujing asked puzzledly: "Why didn't the three Taoist priests tell me what you said?" ”

The old monk wiped away his tears: "These things were all done privately by the king, and those three Taoist priests were very simple, and they didn't investigate at all!" Of course, it's also possible that they don't want to bother with these things! ”

Wujing thought back for a while, the memories of the three monsters, and indeed did not find any memory of them about this matter: "It seems that they really don't know!" Master, what should we do now? ”

Sanzang thought for a while: "Let's enter the city early tomorrow morning!" We're going to meet this king! ”

The old monk asked, "Don't you wait for the holy monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty?" Don't wait for the emperor list in the city? ”

Sanzang also smiled and said, "I'm from the Eastern Tang Dynasty." ”

Wujing also smiled and turned into the appearance of the Taoist priest: "Do you recognize me?" ”

This time, the monks were all shocked, and immediately surrounded them, and kept buttoning their heads: "The holy monk has finally arrived, and our hard days are over!" ”

Tang Sanzang said: "Not necessarily. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The poor monk wants to see what kind of heart this emperor really is, what if he doesn't trust Buddhism in the end?"

"No, no, the eighteen apologists said that you will definitely save us!" The monks looked trusting and almost regarded Sanzang as a savior!

The daughter king smiled: "Their group of useless things will only shirk their responsibilities, you don't have to pay attention to them, let alone listen to them, we are not a Buddha with them!" ”

The monks were confused: "Isn't it a Buddhist sect?" Isn't Buddhism just Buddhism? How or which one? ”

"The Buddhism of Lingshan teaches Mahayana Buddhism, in addition, there is Hinayana Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, and our Sanzang Buddhism!"

Tang Sanzang looked at his daughter King: "You have thought of my name here!" ”

"Sanzang! Isn't this a good face? Daughter King said.

"Okay! Just as you say! ”

Tang Sanzang looked at the monk: "Which Buddhism are you willing to convert to is your problem?" The Poor Monk will not intervene, but the Poor Monk will try to convince the King to set you free! ”
