Chapter Fifty-Eight: Gao Laozhuang
The Sanzang master and apprentice never thought that there was a dungeon hidden behind the Guanyin Monastery.
There are more than thirty houses in the dungeon, and more than twenty young men are being held.
Although the cells restricted the young men from leaving, they were luxuriously furnished.
Xue Tianqing stretched out his thumb to Miaoyin who led the way: "I really admire it, Guanyin Zen Temple makes you a place of lewd pleasure, and I don't know what the Bodhisattva's expression will be when he learns about this." ”
Miao Yin shed tears when she heard this: "Bodhisattva, you tell me about Bodhisattva? I worship the Bodhisattva every day, but until I am old, I don't see her revealing her true body. When we are plagued by illness and life is worse than death, where is the Bodhisattva? However, after meeting the Black Wind King, not only did my face turn upside down, but I also knew what the joy of fish and water was. Elder Sun, if it were you, how would you choose? ”
Seeing that Xue Tianqing blinked silently, Miao Yin continued: "When the world suffers from illness and the people mourn tactfully, where are the gods and Buddhas in the sky? They enjoy other people's incense every day, but they don't save the people from the sea of suffering, what is the use of such gods and Buddhas believing in him? ”
Sanzang folded his hands and said: "Amitabha, the poor monk went to Lingshan to seek the true scriptures, precisely for the purpose of purifying the world, so that there will be no such disasters in the world." ”
Miao Yin laughed wildly: "It's a joke, if the Buddha really has such a good heart, why don't you just ask about the suffering in the world, why don't you stop the monsters from running rampant?" This kind of nonsense can only deceive fools like you! ”
Miao Yin screamed and slammed her head against the wall, then fell to the ground and lost her life.
Looking at Miaoyin's corpse, Sanzang let out a long sigh and then didn't make a sound.
However, Xue Tianqing had a little resonance with Miaoyin's words, which reminded him of Rulai's evaluation of the four continents in "Journey to the West", and finally came to the conclusion: It's all nonsense benevolence and morality!
Originally, Xue Tianqing wanted to release the imprisoned men and ask them to notify the government to seal this place.
As soon as the door was opened, a group of people rushed to Miaoyin's corpse and cried loudly.
What's more, some people even scolded Xue Tianqing, saying that they were nosy and ruined their good dreams.
Seeing Sanzang's shocked face, Xue Tianqing sighed: "Don't look at it, these people are used to the extravagance here, let's go and report to the official ourselves." ”
When I returned to the front yard, I saw that many people in the temple were standing there, and Xue Tianqing sighed again.
Xue Tianqing first sent Bajie to the nearest government to report to the official, and then called out the nun who brought him food, asked where the soft tendons were, and finally burned the soft tendons prepared by the Black Wind King.
I thought that Bajie would be able to come back soon, but I didn't want to wait an hour before I saw him fall into the clouds with a male in one hand.
Seeing that the two dukes were trembling with fright, Xue Tianqing was puzzled: "What's the matter?" ”
Bajie snorted: "Their county master didn't believe in this, and said that he would send someone to visit it first." I saw that the county government was too far away from here, so I asked these two officials to come here first. You also know that when driving the clouds, the mortals are as heavy as Mount Tai, so it took so long to rush back. ”
Xue Tianqing was puzzled: "Then it won't take so long, how far is the county government from here?" ”
"It's estimated to be more than 300 miles."
Seeing that the snow was sunny and the sky was clear, Bajie said disdainfully: "Xiniu Hezhou is vast and sparsely populated, and it is common for a county government to govern a radius of several hundred miles, don't you feel it along the way?" ”
Xue Tianqing said: "I thought we were walking a little out of the way. ”
Bajie shook his head: "I don't know where you usually go, and I didn't even pay attention to whether there was anyone on the road." Now that people have been invited, what do we do? ”
It was only at this time that the two public officials reacted, and after asking a few female nuns about the cause and effect, they came to Bajie again: "Immortal, this matter is indeed correct, wait for the villain to repair a book, please send it to the county government again, otherwise it will be delayed for too long." ”
Seeing that Bajie was a little impatient, Xue Tianqing said: "If you let you go, you will go, this is a good thing, and it will be good for your future cultivation." ”
When Bajie heard this, he took the written letter, drove the cloud and disappeared.
Then, Xue Tianqing walked up to the nuns again: "It's the middle of the night now, let's go back and rest first." From now on, except for eating and going to the toilet, you will stay in your own room, and the Bodhisattva will not miss your few incense sticks. ”
Early the next morning, Sanzang was about to leave after breakfast, but was stopped by Xue Tianqing: "Master, let's go, do you think the two dukes can stop these people?" ”
When Sanzang heard this, he held back his patience and waited for the local government to come to the door.
Who thought that it was only noon, and the group did not wait for the official mansion, but waited for the people nearby.
Knowing that the Black Wind King had been eradicated, thousands of people came to the Guanyin Monastery with sticks to kill.
Seeing this, a public servant guarding the door turned around and ran, and went directly to the guest room to pull Xue Tianqing out of the door.
Looking at the indignant people, Xue Tianqing shouted, and then jumped into the air: "What do you want?" ”
Looking at the snow in the sky, everyone bowed down one after another: "Immortal master, you have to call the shots for us." Over the years, the nuns here have done many evil things, and I don't know how many people have been forced to ruin their families by them. ”
Hearing this, Xue Tianqing's heart suddenly moved.
He told everyone to wait, and then he flashed to the backyard and knocked on the door of the nun who had brought him food yesterday.
"Yesterday I heard that Miao Yin is over two hundred years old, is it true or false?"
The nun hurriedly said, "It's true! ”
Xue Tianqing took two steps back and forth: "If this is the case, she must have been here for a long time, where have all the men who came in before gone?" ”
Hearing this, the nun suddenly knelt down: "The gods spare their lives, although we are accomplices, we are all coerced by Miaoyin." If you don't do what she says, you will be treated as blood food by the Black Wind King. ”
Xue Tianqing said "oh": "That is to say, the people she imprisoned before have finally become the mouths of monsters." ”
The nun continued to clasp her head: "Exactly, the Black Wind King not only captured the young man for the fun of Miaoyin, but the two of them were also torn apart. Immortals, if we don't follow Miaoyin's orders, we will be killed in an instant, and I hope the immortals will see it. ”
Xue Tianqing sighed again when she heard this: "Is there anyone here who has taken the initiative to help the abuse?" I tell you, I will interrogate everyone one by one. If you lie, I will take you to the underworld, where you will know what life is worse than death! ”
After some interrogation, Xue Tianqing finally singled out thirteen culprits from the nuns and handed them over to the custody of the public.
He used his magical powers, turned into a colorful auspicious cloud, and took the rest of the people to the north, and only returned to the Guanyin Monastery when it was getting dark.
Although Sanzang and Bajie both asked him where he took the nun to, Xue Tianqing always shook his head and remained silent.
After coaxing and scaring the people who were still gathered outside the temple gate to leave, Xue Tianqing returned to the guest room without saying a word, and crossed his knees.
Early the next morning, the local county magistrate finally arrived with more than a dozen officials, Xue Tianqing explained to him, and instructed the temple property to be distributed among the oppressed people, and then left the Guanyin Monastery with Sanzang and Bajie.
After walking a long way, Bajie asked Xue Tianqing: "Senior brother, you didn't say what to do with those people in the dungeon." ”
Xue Tianqing shook her head: "That's a matter of the local government, and it has nothing to do with us." ”
"Then do you think that county lord will distribute the property to the people?"
Xue Tianqing sighed and said, "It's all said, it's a matter of the government, and it has nothing to do with us." ”
Sanzang said on the side: "Bajie, your senior brother is upset, let's say a few words." ”
On this day, the three of them were walking when they saw a village flash in front of them.
Xue Tianqing opened his vain eyes and saw that although there was a peaceful atmosphere in the sky above the village, there was a hidden mystery.
After a while, Xue Tianqing said to Sanzang: "Master, I have been sleeping in the open for days, and today I finally met the village, so let's have a good rest." ”
Sanzang nodded: "Just according to Wukong's words." ”
When the master and apprentice came to the entrance of the village, they saw three big characters engraved on the stone tablet on the side of the road - Gao Laozhuang!
Seeing this, Xue Tianqing turned his head and looked at Bajie: If Marshal Tianpeng really violated the rules of heaven and ended up here, what should he call him, Zhu Jiujie?
After entering the village, not far away, an unusually tall courtyard appeared in front of everyone, Sanzang saw this and turned over and dismounted: "The apprentices are waiting here, and they will go to spend the night for the teacher." ”
Xue Tianqing stretched out her hand to stop Sanzang: "Master, people are doing a happy event, is it appropriate to spend the night?" ”
Looking at the red silk on the door, Sanzang was puzzled: "What does this have to do with me going to spend the night?" ”
Xue Tianqing rubbed her temples helplessly: "Master, there are some things you don't know very well, as long as you know that this house is not suitable, let's go to another house to spend the night." ”
"Why don't you understand as a teacher? At first glance, the benefactor of this family is a wealthy person, and he must be a benevolent person. ”
Xue Tianqing was surprised: "Master, if you are really kind and charitable, then you will scatter your family wealth, how can you still have such a family business?" ”
Sanzang shook his head: "You don't understand, only people who are kind and generous, the Buddha will support them, and they can save such a family business." ”
Seeing Sanzang walking towards the gate, Xue Tianqing said to Bajie: "Do you think what Master said makes sense?" ”
Bajie heard that he was just hehe, but he didn't say much.
Without waiting for Sanzang to walk up the steps, he saw two young men bumping out of the door talking and laughing.
Looking up and seeing Sanzang, the two hurriedly arched their hands: "Please forgive this elder, today is a big day for my family, the kitchen is full of big fish and meat, you go elsewhere to make a fortune." ”
Sanzang was stunned when he heard this: "Donor, the poor monk is not a fate, but a sleeper." ”
The two laughed when they heard this: "Then it's better to turn into a relationship!" It is said that there is a happy event in the house today, and if the elders spend the night, they will definitely be so noisy that they can't sleep, so you should go to another house. ”
Xue Tianqing looked at Sanzang and frowned: "Bajie, you have been following Master for a long time, do you think he is quite wise?" It's like being kicked in the head by a donkey. ”
Bajie smiled bitterly: "I don't know either." ”
While speaking, Sanzang had already come to the two of them: "Sure enough, as you said, this place is not suitable for sleeping, let's go to another house." ”
