Chapter 120: Che Chi Guo's Affair
Yan Luo's words made Niu Shengrong stunned for a long time: How did he die? Wasn't he killed by Sun Wukong!
When King Yama heard this, he slapped the table: "I'm asking why you were killed by Sun Wukong so easily!" ”
Niu Shengrong looked innocent: "Lord Yan Jun, I don't want to either, who wants to die if you have nothing to do?" ”
At this moment, the master bookkeeper of the book of life and death hurriedly ran into the Yama Hall and whispered in Yan Jun's ear.
Yan Jun raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Take Niu Shengrong to the Hall of Life and Death, if it really doesn't work, use him to fill in the Book of Life and Death!" ”
After finishing speaking, he got up and walked towards the outside of the hall, and Bai Wuchang, who followed closely, grabbed Niu Shengrong's neck and dragged him straight to the Hall of Life and Death.
When the underworld was in chaos, the Xue Tianqing brothers had already accompanied Sanzang back on the road.
Looking at the gradually changing customs and customs, Sanzang was secretly happy in his heart: now not only the customs and customs have changed, but even the appearance of people and the Tang Dynasty has become more and more different, and it seems that Lingshan is approaching.
Sanzang's mind was quickly noticed by Xue Tianqing, and then he poured cold water on him, because the four masters and apprentices had probably not walked half the way.
Despite this, Sanzang is still not annoyed, after all, every step he takes, he is one step closer to Lingshan.
Autumn goes to winter, and it is a few months in a flash.
Although there are some monsters and strongmen blocking the way along the way, in front of the three brothers, it is not worth mentioning at all.
On this day, the four masters and apprentices were on their way, and suddenly saw a group of people flashing on the road, with flags and banners fluttering.
Seeing this, Xue Tianqing beckoned Bajie to take the white horse to the side of the road, preparing to let the officers and soldiers pass first.
Unexpectedly, when the other party came to the front, as soon as the leader stretched out his hand, the army surrounded the four of them.
"Come on, tie me up."
As soon as the general's words fell, more than a dozen wolf-like soldiers stepped forward and tied up the four of them.
"You take them back to the city, and the rest come with me."
Waiting for the team to leave, Xue Tianqing asked the soldiers who escorted him: "Official, we have never done anything illegal, why did you tie us up without asking?" ”
The leading soldier looked the snow up and down: "Listen to the accent, you are not locals." ”
"We are monks from the Eastern Tang Dynasty who went to the West Heaven Da Lei Yin Temple to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures, not locals."
The soldier sighed: "If you don't come early, if you don't come late, if you come at this time, you will be unlucky." If you are really unlucky, don't complain about us on the Huangquan Road, if you want to complain, you Buddhist disciples are too unclean. ”
Xue Tianqing was puzzled: "Official, what happened?" Even if we die, we have to die to understand, right? ”
The soldier pulled a handful of Xue Tianqing: "Let's go, there is still some distance to the city, let's talk as we walk." You're right, even if you die, you should be a ghost. ”
Xue Tianqing smiled when she heard this: "How far is it from here to the city?" ”
"It's been almost a long time, elder, a few of us actually respect the disciples of Buddhism, but now the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and we can only wronged a few people."
"It's nothing to be wronged, let's talk about what's going on."
From the mouth of the soldier, Xue Tianqing knew that this was already the territory of Chechi Country.
Chechi has been a country for more than 200 years, although it is far inferior to the Tang Dynasty, it can also be called a strong army, and it is a first-class power among the surrounding countries.
After the current king ascended the throne, he led his troops to conquer several times, destroying many countries, and shaking the Quartet for a while.
Seeing this, the rest of the small countries bowed their heads and paid tribute every year, making Che Chi Kingdom in the limelight for a while.
Originally, the monks and monks in the country stood side by side and did not disturb each other.
Who knew that a year ago, King Chechi was suddenly haunted by evil spirits, and his government was ruined.
For this reason, the palace posted the imperial list, and asked the world's masters to exorcise evil spirits.
But in the end, Buddhism and Taoism not only had no way to deal with evil ghosts, but took a few lives.
Just when everyone was at a loss, a wandering Taoist came to the city, and the Taoist number was Feiyun Zhenren.
Feiyun Zhenren originally didn't plan to take care of this nossy matter, but he heard that King Chechi loved the people like a son on weekdays and had a good reputation, so he changed his mind and finally unveiled the imperial list and entered the palace to exorcise ghosts.
Feiyun Zhenren does have some skills, although the process is a little tortuous, but in the end, he still beats the evil ghost away.
Afterwards, Feiyun Zhenren told King Chechi that this evil ghost was not an ordinary ghost, but a general of a country destroyed by Chechi.
At that time, in order to protect the country, the general led tens of thousands of horses to fight against the army of Chechi, and was finally defeated and killed.
Although the army was defeated and the country perished, the general's obsession was not extinguished, and finally he gathered the resentment of the people and turned into a demon to take revenge on King Chechi, which was all caused by cause and effect.
After telling the king about the origin of the evil spirit, Feiyun Zhenren is about to leave and sail away.
Thinking that he had killed countless people for half his life, the king was afraid that there would be another evil ghost to take revenge on him, so he did everything possible to leave Feiyun Zhenren.
In the end, the king built a Feiyun Temple in the north of the royal city for Feiyun Zhenren, where you can meditate and meditate on weekdays, and if the country is in trouble, you can rescue it.
In this way, Feiyun Zhenren barely stayed.
Although staying in Feiyun Temple, Feiyun Zhenren did not open the mountain gate and accept incense like other Taoist monks, but closed the door every day and studied Taoism hard, which also won the praise of the people across the country.
Although Feiyun Zhenren is extremely low-key, the Taoist priests in Chechi China are becoming more and more active by taking advantage of this limelight, and there is a faint momentum to suppress the monks.
Fortunately, in the palace, the queen and the princess are all believers in Buddhism, which makes Buddhism not too weak, but it also gives the monks a deep sense of crisis.
Xiaoxiangguo Temple was originally the imperial temple of Chechi Kingdom, because the queen and princess would go to the temple every month to offer incense, so the incense has always been prosperous.
But after Feiyun Zhenren subdued the evil ghosts, the people worshiped more and more of the Daomen, even the incense in the Xiaoxiangguo Temple was decreasing at an alarming rate.
In order to regain the disadvantage, Xiaoxiangguo Temple presided over the opening of a month-long prayer meeting, praying for the Buddha to bless Chechi Guotai and the people.
Clear-eyed people know the purpose of Xiaoxiangguo Temple at a glance, and persuade the host that this is not the time to compete for favor, if you want to win back the hearts of the people, you should do something that really benefits the country and the people.
But instead of listening, the host specially invited the queen and the princess to come to the Xiaoxiangguo Temple to preside over the meeting.
It's just that no one expected that during the conference, the princess would secretly have a love affair with a monk in the temple and do something irreparable.
At the beginning, although there were rumors and rumors, it did not cause much turmoil, because no one believed that the princess would let go of glory and wealth and fornicate with monks.
But after the blessing meeting, the princess still ran to the small Xiangguo Temple, which eventually aroused the suspicion of the king and the concubine.
Just a few days ago, the princess and the monk, who were in fornication, were caught by the king's arrangement.
What's even more unexpected is that while she returned to the palace to report the news, the princess used her identity to openly escape from Xiaoxiangguo Temple with the monks, and disappeared.
The king was furious when he received the news, so he ordered the army to take all the monks back to the royal city and behead them to relieve his hatred.
No, not long after the men and horses sent to the east came out, they bumped into the Sanzang master and apprentice, so they were arrested.
Seeing Xue Tianqing looking at him in surprise, the soldier whispered: "Elder, I heard that the monk not only had an affair with the princess, but also had an affair with the queen, otherwise how could Your Majesty be so angry?" ”
Xue Tianqing turned her head to look at Tang Sanzang who was following behind her: "Master, what do you think?" ”
Sanzang's face was slightly embarrassed: "There are many disciples of Buddhism, and it is inevitable that there will be good and bad. ”
Xue Tianqing laughed: "If this matter is true, then this monk can also be regarded as a talent." ”
Then he said to the soldiers, "Is your queen very beautiful?" ”
The soldier nodded, "Of course it's beautiful, although it's over forty years old, it doesn't look like it's thirty years old." ”
Sanzang coughed dryly on the side: "Wukong, when is it, you still have this kind of thought?" ”
"What Master said didn't mean that it was beautiful and delicious, and it was better to be beautiful than ugly."
Seeing that Sanzang didn't care about himself, Xue Tianqing's eyes rolled, and then a silver ingot appeared in his hand: "The official has worked very hard to run errands, and this bit of silver is used to buy wine for the brothers." ”
The leading soldier hurriedly waved his hand: "Elder, I know that you are wronged, but I will never dare to let you go." Do you know the general who just led the army? That's our colt, you get it? ”
The soldier was still waving his hand one moment, and the next moment the silver appeared in his hand: "Who said that you let us go?" I just don't think it's easy for you to come all the way. ”
After the silver arrived, the soldier was stunned for a long time, because he remembered that Xue Tianqing's two hands were tied, how did he stuff the silver into his hands?
Xue Tianqing smiled at the soldiers: "Let's go quickly, don't go back to the royal city when it's dark." ”
The soldier promised on his lips, but his feet slowed down, and finally fell to the end with Xue Tianqing: "Elder, are you an immortal?" ”
Seeing Xue Tianqing shaking his head, the soldier asked again: "It's not an immortal, how can you do something that only an immortal does." ”
After speaking, he whispered: "If you are an immortal, these monks will be saved." Although the villain doesn't know the joints, he always feels that something is wrong. ”
Xue Tianqing smiled: "Let's hear it." ”
The reason for the soldiers is simple, from the time the palace is haunted, everything is too coincidental.
First the palace was haunted, then Feiyun Zhenren went to Chechi Kingdom, and finally reluctantly stayed, and then what happened later.
Especially when the queen had an affair with a monk, how to think about it makes people feel impossible.
If the princess can't hold it because she is young, how could the queen make such a mistake, she is the queen of a country.
Xue Tianqing pondered for a moment: "That Feiyun Zhenren has had unreasonable actions since he came to Chechi Country?" ”
The soldier shook his head: "The door is not out of the door all day, and the second door is not stepping, which is similar to the girl who has not left the cabinet." ”
Xue Tianqing nodded: "In that case, how dare you still speak ill of the queen and princess behind your back?" In other words, have you ever seen these things with your own eyes? ”
The soldier hurriedly waved his hand: "How is it possible, if I have seen it with my own eyes, I don't know if I am alive." It's just that this matter is now known to everyone, and it's hard for me to wait until I haven't heard it. ”
Xue Tianqing shook her head: "It has nothing to do with you when you hear it in your ears, but if you say it, you don't know what will happen." ”
