Chapter 6: Who Will Save Me?
Outside Xiangguo Temple, Master Xuanzang sat on the high platform on land and water, with a demeanor. Under his guidance, the monks present successively completed the "Anbang Tianbao Gong", "Persuasion Exercise Volume", and "The Sutra of Life and Death".
In the sound of chanting, the people watching under the high platform suddenly stirred.
"What's that?" said someone with a look of horror as he pointed to the eastern sky.
Many people turned their heads when they heard the sound, and after seeing that scene, most of them also exclaimed.
I saw the eastern sky, under the originally clear and transparent sky, a large black cloud suddenly rose.
The black clouds continued to change and expand, and in a short time they had covered half of the sky, and they were surging towards the sky of Chang'an City at an extremely fast speed.
Li Shimin, who was sitting on the throne, was frightened by this abnormal scene, and his face turned a little pale.
Wei ...... Wei Qing, what is the meaning of such celestial phenomena?"
Wei Zheng's eyes were condensed, stared at the black cloud for a while, and then turned his head to Li Shimin and reassured: "Your Majesty, don't panic, that black cloud is the soul of injustice, and watch Master Xuanzang lead the monks to overtake it." ”
Li Shimin was still frightened on his face, and he only heard him say: "These unjust souls don't hurt people, right?"
Wei Zheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, rest assured, receiving the Dharma is the way for them to die, and these ghosts are too late to thank them, how dare they deceive and harm others?"
"Oh, if that's the case, I'll let it go...... Ah, Wei Qing, do you see those ghosts rushing towards us?"
Wei Zheng shook his head helplessly and persuaded: "Your Majesty, didn't you say it, these ghosts don't dare......... it! the thief kills the blank, it's coming!"
I saw that after the black clouds composed of ghosts in the sky occupied most of the sky of Chang'an, the black clouds then began to distort and transform, as if turning into a tentacle that reached forward, and swooped towards the high throne of Tang King Li Shimin.
Seeing this, Wei Zheng immediately blocked in front of Li Shimin, and then shouted at Xuanzang and other monks opposite: "The unjust soul is guilty, all the monks quickly recite the scriptures to resist!"
The 1,200 monks who chanted the sutras had already broken their courage when they saw this terrifying celestial phenomenon, and it was originally a simple recitation of the Dharma, who could have imagined that such an evil movement would be made?
Don't be funny! It's almost over, let's save our lives, let's run away!
The above words almost became the unanimous idea in the hearts of the monks present, so when Wei Zheng finished talking about escorting, the monks on the field immediately became confused.
The monks and monks, who were usually revered by others, now showed their true colors under the deterrence of such horrors, and thousands of people were like rats scattered and fleeing, and the extent of the riot even spread to the onlookers, and then caused even more riots.
"Haunted, run!"
"Help!"
"Get out of the way!"
These "profound Buddhist teachers" have all dispersed as birds and beasts, and the ordinary people present have not run away, but how long will they stay?
But strange to say, although the number of ghosts was staggering, their target did not seem to be a large number of ordinary people and fleeing monks, but rushed straight towards Li Shimin on the throne.
Wei Zheng was furious when he saw the absurd scene of this group of monks fleeing, and pointed at the fleeing monks and scolded. "There are a bunch of killers, all of them are swaggering and cheating!!"
"Your Majesty!" In the chaotic Sangha, Xuanzang rushed over against the flow of fleeing people and blocked in front of Li Shimin with Wei Zheng.
"Your Majesty, as long as the poor monk still has a breath, he will never let these ghosts offend His Majesty. ”
But Li Shimin's face was already pale with fright at this time, how could he still care about Xuanzang's loyalty?
"Where's my Guard!"
Wei Zheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, today is a water and land festival, and there is no preparation of the Royal Forest Army at the scene, and besides, in the face of such ghosts, the Royal Forest Army is useless." ”
The tentacles of the black clouds had already rushed to the low altitude, and at such a height it was possible to see the structure inside.
This black cloud is actually a fluid composed of dense ghosts emitting black gas, countless faces showing hideousness, countless pairs of ghost eyes shining red, and countless evil mouths screaming.
The cry of the ghost is terrifying, and the hideous face makes people chill.
When Li Shimin heard Wei Zheng's performance, his face was sad at first, but then he asked: "Wei Zheng! You are a human Cao Xianguan, there must be a way to save the emergency, right?"
Wei Zheng's face was embarrassed for a while.
"Your Majesty, it's not a secret, although the minister has a heavenly court, but he is only in the mortal realm, and his mana is low. In the face of such a flood of ghosts, there is really nothing that can be done. ”
When Wei Zheng said this, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "But if this group of evil obstacles wants to hurt Your Majesty in the slightest, they need to step over my Wei Zheng!"
Xuanzang raised his voice beside him. "Yes, Xuanzang is not talented, and he is willing to work with Lord Wei to protect His Majesty to the death!"
"Okay! Among the monks on land and water, only Master Xuanzang is a real monk. Wei Zheng paid tribute to Xuanzang.
The two of them said passionately, and Li Shimin couldn't help but be a little moved. But when he saw the ghosts in the sky approaching, he still stomped his feet and lamented:
"Could it be that I'm going to die here?"
And today, as a generation of heroes, Li Shimin still has many ambitions and achievements in his heart that have not been completed, but today he is going to die under such absurd ghosts, how can he be willing in his heart?
He opened his arms and roared to the sky.
"Who's going to save me? who's going to save me?"
Hearing him shout like this, Xuanzang was stunned, and immediately remembered someone in his mind. Then he hurriedly said to Li Shimin:
"Your Majesty, Master Fahai, who came with the poor monk yesterday, is a real monk living Buddha, with the ability to subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger, if he is here, he will definitely be able to protect Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, and immediately seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, his eyes searched around, and he shouted in his mouth.
"Master Fahai, where is Master Fahai?"
As soon as he shouted two sentences, the emperor suddenly remembered that it was he who personally issued an order yesterday to cancel Fahai's qualification to participate in the water and land puja.
Not to mention how he regretted it at this time, the ghosts in the sky were already less than twenty feet away from them, and they were going to intersect with humans and ghosts in an instant, and it was unknown whether the three of them would still be alive at that time.
The emperor slapped the root of his thigh angrily, and scolded himself: "Li Shimin, Li Shimin, you are really stupid, this, isn't this self-defeating?"
At this point, I can only close my eyes and wait for the time of death.
But just then, a voice came from above, and it sounded rather nonchalant.
"Who was calling me just now?"
Li Shimin and the three of them looked up when they heard the sound, and saw a burly long-haired old monk in the air above their heads, stepping on the void, standing proudly under the ghosts in the sky.
His body exuded a dazzling golden light, forming a strong contrast with the ghostly black cloud above his head.
Li Shimin grew his mouth, stared at the majestic and sacred golden majesty in mid-air with a look of surprise, and said stupidly:
"Celestials, it is really a celestial man!"
