Chapter 735: Prayer
With a "bang", Xuanzang's door was pushed open.
Before Xuanzang could react, the monkey had already come to his side with an arrow step, stretched out his hand, and took something from Xuanzang's body and threw it directly to Lu Liugui behind him.
Xuanzang, who was unprepared, was stunned. When I looked closely, I found that what was in Lu Liugui's hand was the jade slip given to him by the six-eared macaque.
"Great Sage, you are ......"
"Yu Jian borrowed it from me. ”
With just a casual answer, the monkey followed Lu Liugui out of the door, and in a blink of an eye, the two had disappeared without a trace. Xuanzang, who hurriedly chased out the door, looked at the empty courtyard and could only be helpless.
......
In the courtyard full of monsters, Lu Liugui carefully penetrated the spiritual power into the jade slip and sensed it carefully.
Soon, he opened his eyes and said softly, "Great Sage, the six-eared macaque is in the Lion Camel Country. ”
"In the country of lions and camels? ”
"No, maybe he didn't have Jade Jane with him. ”
"Isn't this simple? Let people pretend to be Master Xuanzang's voice and try it? If he answers, it means that Yu Jian is on his body, and if he doesn't answer, it means that Yu Jian is not on his body. ”
"What if Jade Jane is on his body?" Tianpeng looked around at the demons around him, frowned and said, "How far is the Lion Camel Country from here? With his speed, how many times can he run back and forth in a night? Even if he does it, he will have enough time to run back to the Lion Camel Country." ”
This sentence was put down, and suddenly, everyone fell silent. They all looked towards the monkeys.
From beginning to end, the monkey just stood with his hands crossed, quietly staring at the two corpses lying on the ground, thinking about something. The demon generals around saw the monkey's expression. I was faintly uneasy.
After a long time, Lu Liugui stretched his neck and asked cautiously, "Great Sage, what should we do next?"
This question seems to have awakened the monkey who was immersed in his thoughts.
Taking a deep breath, the monkey spoke, "Everyone be on guard, and remember not to act alone. Lu Liu turned around and buried the body, and the canopy remained. What should the others do, let's go. ”
"That's ...... Scattered?"
"Do you want me to say it again?"
"No!"
An order was given, very quickly. In the originally crowded courtyard, only the canopy and the monkey were left.
A morning breeze blew, and the leaves swayed slightly.
Crossing his hands, Canopy asked softly, "What do you think?"
"You're right, unless you happen to spot that he's nearby. Otherwise. Positioning is not indicative of the problem. Pursing his lips, the monkey said, "I'm thinking about two possibilities right now. First of all, the first ...... He really did it, so why did he do it? Didn't he say that he wouldn't destroy it? Even if he really wanted to destroy it, what was the use of killing two demon generals? This reasoning is a bit unreasonable. Of course, there may be some other reason, which is hard to say. ”
"What about the second possibility?"
"The second possibility is higher. I think. It may be Lingji's ghost. ”
"Lingji?" Tianpeng was slightly stunned.
"Yes. Who would be in the best interest of me if I had a direct conflict with the six-eared macaque? There is no doubt that it would be in the best interest of Buddhism. So ......"
"Who benefits. Who's the one who started it?"
The monkey nodded silently.
All of a sudden, both of them fell silent.
If it's Buddhism, then it's a big problem. The Buddhists are ready to attack the monkey directly? The monkey is not afraid. Anyway, it had already been knocked once hundreds of years ago, and it was a big deal to press down the Five Elements Mountain again. But once this kind of thing spreads, the demon generals under his command probably won't be able to sit still.
This is a major event that shakes the morale of the military.
Lu Liugui may still be able to hold his ground, but what about the other monsters?
After a long time, Tianpeng asked in a low voice, "That...... What are you going to do?"
"Strengthen your precautions, catch the murderer first!"
......
In the Leiyin Temple, a monk slowly walked out of the back hall with agarwood.
Looking at the figure of Agarwood in the distance, Lingji smiled faintly and said casually: "Activate the magic circle in the temple." ”
"Activate the magic circle?" The tall and thin monk on the side was slightly surprised.
"If you don't activate the circle, you won't be able to hide any secrets in this temple, especially this child. After all, everyone who should know already knows, doesn't they?"
The tall and thin monk looked a little embarrassed.
After being silent for a while, he asked in a low voice, "Venerable, the disciple doesn't quite understand. ”
Lingji glanced back at him lazily and chuckled, "You don't have to understand. ”
Hearing this, the tall and thin monk was stunned, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The disciple has spoken too much, please punish the Venerable!"
"There is no need for reprimand. Lingji stretched his waist and asked, "What about Xuanzang?"
"After Master Xuanzang returned to the county king's mansion yesterday, he has been locking himself in the room and staying at home. ”
"Have you seen anyone?"
"I haven't seen it. The people who visited above were all blocked by the father and son, and they seemed to really regard Xuanzang as a life-saver and listen to him for everything. ”
"Isn't it nice to be a lifesaver?" Lingji chuckled, "However, it's not deep enough." If you don't sink deep enough, how can you stab yourself in the heart? It's time to do something. ”
"Do something...... His Holiness means ......"
After thinking for a while, Lingji looked at the tall and thin monk and said slowly: "Just let him pray for Lei Yin County." ”
"Pray...... Pray for blessings?"
"Yes, let him do all the tricks of this life-saving benefactor. As he spoke, Lingji had already turned around and picked up the brush on the table......
......
For a whole day, Lei Yin County, which was extremely peaceful on the surface, was actually already turbulent.
Separated by a wall, the monks in the temple and the youkai lurking outside the temple form a confrontation situation. The slightest friction can lead to a fight.
And in this crisis-ridden situation, the common people in Leiyin County were unaware. The only exception. There may only be Xuanzang.
The father and son of the county king came several times, but he didn't see him. The key question, though, is. Every time he settled, he would think of the monkey's unusual behavior this morning, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger. It's a pity that at this time, he didn't have any means to find the monkey to ask for an explanation, so he could only stay quietly in the room, chanting sutras and chanting Buddha.
Soon. Night fell again.
After a long day's work, people dragged their tired bodies back to their homes, and the figures on the streets gradually became thin. Oil lamps were lit, and the entire Leiyin County was immersed in a peaceful atmosphere.
However. The world of youkai has just begun.
One by one, the demon generals who had been hiding in the daytime popped up from the corners, and soon gathered together on the rooftops, and opened a defensive net covering the entire Leiyin County according to the cloth of the canopy. The monkey stood quietly on a three-story rooftop, looking at Leiyin County from afar, staring intently.
Everything is ready to go. Next. Just waiting for the other party to throw themselves into the net.
Everyone tensed their nerves and cheered up.
At this moment, a carriage slowly drove out of the Leiyin Temple, and for a moment, all eyes were attracted by the carriage.
"Who is inside? Lingji?"
"It's hard to say, that carriage is extraordinary, and there is a magic circle in it that prevents perception. I can't tell, it's empty. Everyone sticks to their posts. Don't be disturbed!"
"No!"
After explaining to the demon generals, the canopy had quietly slipped through the shadow of the building to the monkey located on a three-story building.
"Can you sense what's inside the wagon?"
The monkey stared at the carriage. Slowly shook his head.
After walking on the empty streets for a while, the carriage finally stopped at the gate of the county king's mansion, and it was the tall and thin monk who had been following Lingji who walked down from the cart.
Hearing that it was someone from Leiyin Temple, the father and son of the county king naturally did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly raised their families to greet them.
However, the tall and thin monk only casually exchanged a few words with the old county king at the door, left a letter, saying that it was Lingji's handwritten letter, and then got into the carriage and returned the same way.
Looking at the old county king who was thankful and bowed down in the distance, the monkey asked in a low voice, "It seems that there has been movement." Guess what's in that letter?"
"It's hard to say. The canopy on the side shook his head slowly.
The two glanced at each other and silently touched in the direction of the palace.
......
After bidding farewell to the monks, the old prince and his son walked towards the hall with a smile and a smile, and opened the letter in the hall.
I saw that the old county king glanced at it briefly, frowned slightly and thought about it, and suddenly laughed.
The prince on the side hurriedly asked, "Father, but what's the good thing?"
"Come on, come and see. With that, the old county king handed the letter in his hand to the prince.
Glancing twice at the letter, Shizi only frowned slightly, but did not smile.
"What, I don't understand?"
"I don't understand. Shizi shook his head and said, "That master has always been with the Buddha, and the letter he sent must be true." It's just that...... The disciple really didn't understand why the Buddha asked us to ask a person of high moral integrity to pray for blessings, and he also said that as long as we invited a person of high moral integrity to pray for blessings, we could protect the health and peace of Leiyin County for a hundred years...... It's a bit of a puzzle. ”
"What's there to understand about this?" said with a smile on the old king's eyebrows: "Respectable people, let us find it ourselves, and the Buddha only met Master Xuanzang yesterday." Who do you say, who would be the most virtuous person in Thaksin?"
"This ......" After a slight hesitation, the prince laughed a little embarrassed, shook his head and said, "The child is stupid, I really don't understand." ”
"If you can understand it casually, is it still a Buddha?" The old county king immediately glanced at him, took the letter back with a smile, carefully put it in his sleeve, and said, "Let's go, my master and I will go to ask to see Master Xuanzang!"
......
"Let him go and pray for the blessing of Lei Yin County?" Hearing this sentence from afar, the canopy and the monkey hidden on the roof couldn't help but be stunned.
Mortals pray for blessings, because they really believe that as long as they are pious, the gods will bless them. What does it mean for a Buddha to ask people to pray for blessings?
"Can't let him go. ”
Although they couldn't understand it, in just a moment, the two came to the exact same answer.
Turning around, they had already taken the first step and quietly flew towards the courtyard where Xuanzang lived...... (To be continued.) )
