Chapter (2) (2) (8) Che Chi Guo
All the way to the west, this person Tang Sanzang and other four people walked out of the wilderness, came to a more prosperous city-state, want to continue to go west, need to change the customs clearance documents, in order to avoid causing panic in the city, Tang Sanzang ordered Wukong, Zhu Ganglie, Sha Wujing three people to change their appearance, into human form.
On the white horse, Tang Sanzang instructed the monkey:
"Wukong, go and look around the city to see where it is. ”
"Master, wait a minute, my grandson will go back when he goes. ”
After months in the mountains where birds don't, everyone was overjoyed to see a bustling town, and it didn't take long for the monkey to find out.
"Master, this place is called Che Chi Kingdom, the king doesn't seem to be very friendly to the monks, basically all of them have been arrested and locked up, do you want to change your clothes. ”
The monkey suggested to Tang Sanzang.
Hearing this, Tang Sanzang was puzzled:
"The country doesn't like monks, something must happen, as a teacher as a Buddhist person, you should rescue those monks, a few of you go into the city with the teacher, don't make trouble. ”
Tang Sanzang admonished, raised his feet and walked into the city.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the city, Tang Sanzang's identity as a monk was recognized by the mortals on the street, and it didn't take long to see a team of officers and soldiers armed with spears pouring out of the street, surrounding Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice.
"Amitabha, this benefactor, I don't know what crime the poor monk has committed?"
Tang Sanzang proclaimed the Buddha number for a while, and asked with a puzzled face.
"As long as the monk is guilty, take it. ”
The sergeant at the head explained with an expressionless face, and commanded the soldiers under him.
Hearing this, the soldiers around rushed forward and captured Tang Sanzang and the other four, and Monkey, Zhu Ganglie and others were about to resist, but they were stopped by Tang Sanzang's words.
"Wukong, Bajie, Wujing, don't be impulsive. ”
After hearing Tang Sanzang's order, the three of them stopped struggling, and let the soldiers press them down and went to a temple.
After holding the four in a temple, the soldiers left, leaving only a few to guard outside the temple.
More than 500 monks were imprisoned at the middle gate of this temple, and this group of monks had a thin face and a malnourished appearance, and they did not fluctuate after seeing Tang Sanzang and others, and seemed to have become accustomed to this.
Seeing this, Tang Sanzang found a slightly older host in the temple and asked him about it.
It turned out that there was a great drought in the country a few years ago, and the king asked the monks in the country to pray to heaven for several days, but there was no result.
But there are three immortals who descended from the sky, cast spells to get rain, and resolved the natural disasters of Che Chi country, the king Dayue, and named these three immortals as the national teacher of Che Chi country, from then on, Che Chi country respected Taoism, and all the monks in the country were imprisoned and punished as hard labor.
After hearing the presiding elder's explanation, Tang Sanzang showed an expression of sudden realization, and comforted the temple presiding:
"Rest assured, the poor monks need to meet the king in person when they go west, exchange the customs clearance documents, and if they see the king, they will definitely intercede for the monks. ”
"Then there is the holy monk Lao, and the five hundred monks of the old Na for Che Chi thank the holy monk. ”
After learning the reason why the monks were imprisoned from the host's mouth, Tang Sanzang explained his identity to the soldiers guarding outside the door, saying that he was from the Tang Dynasty in Middle Earth and went to the West Tianling Mountain to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures on the order of the Tang King.
After hearing the identity of Tang Sanzang, the soldier also heard of the prestige of the Tang Kingdom of Middle-earth, which was a great power of the Celestial Empire and could not be offended, so he immediately reported the matter to the king, and the king was also very shocked when he heard that there was a holy monk of Middle Earth passing by Chechiguo, and ordered to meet Tang Sanzang, the holy monk of Middle Earth, in the palace three days later.
Three days later, under the leadership of a team of soldiers, Tang Sanzang took Wukong and other disciples to the palace of the king of Chechi.
When they saw Tang Sanzang, who was talented and handsome, these enthusiastic girls and ladies of Che Chiguo screamed in shock, with a expression on their faces.
Seeing this, Tang Sanzang maintained a smile as warm as jade on his face, and he couldn't find the north and south of the world for these young girls and young women, and he almost wanted to faint.
"Lao Zhu, this woman is even more terrifying than a monster, look at the appearance of these women who are obsessed with the master, their eyes are glowing red, I dare to conclude that if no one stops them, this group of women will eat the scum of the master. ”
The monkey leaned into Zhu Ganglie's ear and muttered in a low voice.
"Senior brother, this is not called eating, this is called sucking, if the master really falls into the hands of this group of women, he will be sucked dry and die. ”
Zhu Ganglie explained with a very obscene expression.
"Bajie, if you are talking nonsense, don't blame the teacher for making you ugly on the street. ”
Tang San, who was walking in front of the two, hid his head and didn't return a warning.
Hearing this, the two immediately shut up and looked at the crowd around them casually.
Not long after, under the leadership of a group of soldiers, Tang Sanzang and others came to a magnificent palace, only to see a group of strangely dressed Che Chi people standing in front of the palace, led by an old man wearing a gold robe and a gold crown, presumably this person is the king of Che Chi country.
Before coming to the palace, Tang Sanzang folded his hands and shouted a Buddha with a pious face:
"The poor monk Tang Sanzang, to the Tang Dynasty in the Middle Earth, on the order of the Tang Emperor, went to the Western Regions Lingshan to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures, passing through your country, I specially ask Your Majesty to change the customs clearance document for the poor monks, so that the poor monks can continue to go west. ”
Hearing this, a gentle smile appeared on the face of the king of Che Chiguo.
"The holy monk is polite, the prestige of the Tang King is far and wide, it is an example for us and other remote small countries, since the holy monk is ordered by the Tang King, we will naturally try our best to obey, today it is better to rest in the palace for a night, and it is not too late to wait for the king of Ming to change the documents for the holy monk on the road. ”
After hearing the king's invitation, Tang Sanzang readily agreed, and just took this opportunity to persuade the king to release the five hundred monks who had been imprisoned.
That night, the king of Che Chi Guo invited Tang Sanzang and others to a public banquet, but did not invite the three national teachers of Che Chi State, which caused the dissatisfaction of the three national teachers.
After three rounds of drinking, Tang Sanzang proposed to the king about the five hundred imprisoned monks.
"Your Majesty, the poor monks heard that His Majesty ordered that all the monks of the whole country be imprisoned in the temple, all because of the fruitless matter of asking for rain, and now that it has been many years since this matter, and the group of monks have no other crimes, I hope that Your Majesty will be merciful and spare the monks who are imprisoned in the temple. ”
Hearing this, the king of Che Chi felt that what Tang Sanzang said made sense, and it was because of the three national teachers and demons who punished those monks on the spot, and the king ordered the arrest of the monks across the country and imprisoned them, and now Tang Sanzang is a holy monk of the Tang Dynasty, and when he came to Che Chi Kingdom, he should not be imprisoning those monks, otherwise, wouldn't this make Tang Sanzang very faceless.
"The holy monk can rest assured that this king has only punished him slightly, and will order the release of those imprisoned monks tomorrow. ”
The king of Che Chi replied with a smile.
"The poor monk is here to thank Your Majesty, I wish Your Majesty prosperity in the country, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, Amitabha. ”
Tang Sanzang congratulated with a gentle smile on his face, which made the young queen behind the king look at Tang Sanzang with burning eyes, and there was a lot of spring in her eyes, and it was estimated that she had even thought of the child's name.
