Chapter 496: Heavenly Court
After all, the county guard had been accumulating power for a long time, and their eyes were glaring, and the guards put away their swords in frustration and stood aside.
"This matter is indeed the fault of the official, whether it is beaten or punished, the official admits it, I hope God can see the repentance of the official, pity this innocent people, let it rain." The county guard hid his face and wept, grabbing the ground with his head.
It's not bad after all, Tang Sen looked at the sincere emotions of this county guard, it didn't seem to be fake, and he also let go of his prejudice against him in his heart.
When the people around saw the county guard's repentance, they also hid their faces and wept, not knowing whether to cry for their dead relatives or for their own suffering.
Of course, there were still resentful people in the crowd, who came out and kicked the county guard to the ground, and the group of guards did not stop them at the signal of the county guard, and the county guard did not resist, allowing his fists and feet to fall on his body.
When people had had enough, no one hit him anymore, and he cried loudly.
"Master, this county guard is also a good man, let's help them, it's pitiful." Sun Wukong expressed his appreciation for the county guard's daring behavior, and rarely interceded.
The rest of the people also looked at it with anticipation.
"These thousands of mistakes are all the fault of the lower officials, and they have nothing to do with my people, and I hope that the holy monk will be magnanimous, let it rain a little, please!" The county guard pleaded to Tang Sen, now his clothes were full of footprints, and his face was bruised to varying degrees, but he didn't care at all, and begged Tang Sen bitterly.
"Holy monk, I hope that the holy monk will be merciful, and I will always remember the great virtue of the holy monk!" Ulala, the people fell to their knees, Townsend was their last straw, for three years, this city has been surviving, if it doesn't rain this year, I'm afraid it will become a dead city, no one can survive this year.
This is a land of disgust, either go away or wait for death, but it is not easy to go away, it is not a life and death crisis, no one wants to leave, so they pin their last hope on Tang Sen.
Tang Sen pondered for a long time, and slowly spoke in the expectant gaze of everyone, "The poor monk can help." ”
"Holy monk, as long as it can rain, but if you ask for something, the officials will not allow it!" The county keeper is happy, what is gold and silver, what is power, as long as it can rain, these can be discarded.
"Put away your gold and silver, what do the poor monks want to do with those things!" Townsend glared at him sternly.
"What you should be thankful for is not the poor monk, but God, it is the Jade Emperor, he is the one who forgives you, the poor monk can only say that he pleads for you God, as for whether God can forgive, it all depends on your sincerity."
"Holy monk, our hearts are very sincere, but we ask God for forgiveness, and we don't know what to do." The county guard asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.
If there is a glimmer of hope, they will never give up.
"Prepare incense and candle offerings, tomorrow, the poor monks go to heaven, you sincerely repent, and God will surely forgive you." Townsend said slowly.
That's right, this is exactly the method that Tang Sen came up with, knowing the mistake can improve the great, the three-year drought, this punishment is not heavy, the crime is also suffered, the mistake is also changed, plus his own guarantee from it, if it doesn't rain again, it will not give me Tang Sen face, then don't blame me for being mad!
When everyone heard what Tang Sen said, they were also aroused with confidence, and they didn't care about blaming the county guard, so they prepared incense and candle tributes.
Everyone also knows that the county guard is also an unintentional mistake, but in the past three years, everyone's emotions have also accumulated to a peak, but whenever there is an outlet, it will inevitably be vented, the county guard is not a big mistake, but everything originated from him.
"Holy monk, please also ask the holy monk and apprentice to drive down to the official's house and serve well." The county keeper said sincerely.
Tang Sen glanced at him funny, how could his little caution hide from Tang Sen's eyes, it was nothing more than that he was afraid that he would suddenly disappear, Tang Sen was not surprised, the stakes were very high, it was good to be careful, fortunately, he didn't think about running away.
"Lead the way."
At that moment, the group stayed in the official residence of the county guard.
……
The next day, it was still a scorching sun, and the heat was unbearable.
The people of Quancheng gathered in one place, countless incense candles were lit, billowing green smoke went straight to the sky, and there was a large table of tributes, and there were no good things, nothing more than a few moldy steamed buns and rotten fruits saved, and the biggest one was the huge cow's head.
That's too old a standard.
Everyone looked at the food on the table and swallowed, but no one dared to move, and if they collided with the gods again, they would hang themselves with a rope.
I don't know who shouted "The holy monk is coming", everyone turned around, consciously separated a road, Tang Sen dressed up to attend, walked slowly, wearing a brocade robe, holding a nine-ring tin staff, wearing a five-Buddha crown.
On the left hand, Zhu Bajie is holding a banana fan, and on the right hand, Sha Wujing is holding a purple gold red gourd, followed by Sun Wukong and Xiao Bailong and others, and walked onto the altar.
Tang Sen glanced around, saw that everyone was eager, and they were all religious, turned his head to Sun Wukong and said, "Wukong, you accompany the teacher to the sky." ”
Sun Wukong nodded indifferently, he is too familiar with this way to heaven, and he won't get lost if he closes his eyes, but this is the first time that the master has gone to heaven, and he still has to be a little careful, don't let others collide with the master.
"Bajie, Wujing, Xiaobai, you wait here 2, and go back if you have nothing to do."
Before a few people could speak, Tang Sen and Sun Wukong turned into two golden rays of light and soared into the sky.
"Immortals, immortals, we are saved!" The crowd watching below wept with joy, hugged each other, and some even cried to themselves alone.
……
But it is said that Tang Sen followed Sun Wukong to the heavenly court, and he still followed the old road, the South Heavenly Gate, and the guards were still the four heavenly kings who had not changed for ten thousand years.
"Hey, the four of you have worked hard, my grandson is here again." Sun Wukong stepped forward to talk familiarly.
The Four Heavenly Kings also responded with human affection, but as soon as they saw Tang Sen who appeared behind, they immediately became serious, "Xiaguan pays a visit to the holy monk." "Salute respectfully.
Although the Four Heavenly Kings are on an errand in the heavenly court, they are also characters belonging to Buddhism, and Sun Wukong can still talk and laugh, but with Tang Sen, you must bow respectfully, without him, Tang Sen's identity is too high in Buddhism, too high! Even much higher than the average Buddha and Bodhisattva.
"Amitabha, a few hard, poor monks have something to do this time, ask to see Your Majesty, and hope to pass it on."
"Here, the holy monk waits, and the lower official will report it." The four of them glanced at each other, and didn't ask anything, the matter of being able to meet the Jade Emperor is not something they can mix, the less they know, the safer they are, it's okay not to be so curious, this is the way for the four of them to protect themselves.
