Chapter 739: Prayer Stand
The old county king gently knocked on Xuanzang's door and saluted respectfully: "Master Xuanzang, the time is set at noon." I don't know...... Is it possible?"
Facing the old face of the old county king who was full of smiles, Xuanzang just looked blank, nodded dumbly, and closed the door without even saying a word.
In this situation, the few people standing outside the door were stunned.
Shizi couldn't help asking, "Father, is Master Xuanzang ...... Not happy?"
"Probably not. The old county king retracted his mind slightly, looked at Xuanzang's closed door and said: "The Buddha asked us to ask Master Xuanzang to pray for blessings, which means that it must be right to ask Master Xuanzang to pray for blessings." The master beside the Buddha also told that no matter what means are used, it must be achieved. This...... There's nothing wrong with that, right?
"Yes, yes, yes, listen to the Buddha, there will be no mistake. The elders standing around nodded in agreement.
At this time, they didn't know that Xuanzang in the room was quietly watching them through the gap in the window lattice.
After a long time, he opened his mouth slightly and spit out two words: "Ignorance." ”
"Huh?" The canopy behind him raised his head slightly and looked at Xuanzang.
Xuanzang said expressionlessly: "This is the definition given to them by Venerable Lingji, 'ignorance'. ”
Hearing this, Tianpeng couldn't help but smile faintly: "Who is not ignorant? Who can really enlighten themselves? In fact, sometimes think about it, what is the difference between me and them in my previous life? In the final analysis, they are all standing in a fixed position, so that they can't see the distant scenery clearly. ”
"In his previous life, the marshal was a loyal and good general of the first rank of the Heavenly Court. ”
"Because you are a loyal minister and a good general, aren't you ignorant?" Tianpeng glanced at Xuanzang helplessly and said, "Master Xuanzang, don't comfort me." What is the situation of yourself. I know for myself that there is no need for consolation. I have to thank Nezha for not letting me swallow that pill, otherwise...... I'm afraid I'm going to follow in the footsteps of this life again. ”
Xuanzang's gaze paused on the empty table, and after a long time, he sighed lightly: "But it's not everyone. There is such an opportunity as a marshal. Therefore, there is still a need for people in the world to go to Pudu. ”
Tianpeng nodded, but only said one word: "Difficult." ”
......
Xuanzang prayed for blessings, this is a major event in Leiyin County. Of course, the point is on this matter, which Lingji himself opened.
For a time, the entire Leiyin County was mobilized, busy inside and out. A festive scene. In just half a day, the high prayer platform has been erected. Although it is simple, every detail reveals the hearts of the people of Leiyin County.
Not long after, under the leadership of the old county king, the team to greet Xuanzang had already arrived outside the door.
At this moment, Xuanzang in the room had already finished freshening up, put on a clean and tidy robe, and put on the crown of ten thousand Buddhas. The clothes were the same as when he first met the Tang Emperor. It's just a face, but it's a lot of vicissitudes.
Fortunately. The original intention has not changed.
"What about the Great Sage? He, aren't you going to go with you?"
"It's hard to say. Tianpeng on the side replied softly: "Last night, something happened in Leiyin County, and he is still staring at Leiyin County." ”
"Last night?"
"Actually, it wasn't just last night, there was an accident the day before yesterday. After a slight hesitation, Tianpeng pursed his lips and said, "Maybe he'll be there later." I will always follow you. Make sure there are no surprises. In addition, more than a dozen demons will pass by, and they will dress up as mortals and stay as close to the prayer platform as possible. ”
Xuanzang nodded a little weakly.
As the canopy dodged behind the screen, the door opened. A large number of people rushed in. After a simple prayer. They greeted Xuanzang and walked out.
After they left, Lu Liugui, who was also hiding behind the screen, asked in a low voice: "Marshal, you said that you sent more than a dozen demon generals to dress up as mortals...... Why haven't I heard of it? The residents of this Leiyin County are all originally from Fengxian County, and I'm afraid it's not good to have a living person. ”
"Isn't there a ready-made one?" Tianpeng glanced at Lu Liugui lightly, and said, "Didn't the two demon generals fall before?" Then we controlled more than a dozen people who knew about it, and replaced them with our people. ”
"Oh...... Oh!" Lu Liugui suddenly realized: "You mean them!"
"Of course it's them, and it can only be them. Tianpeng sighed lightly: "First, it is just right for them to be responsible for protecting Master Xuanzang, and secondly, ...... They themselves must go, otherwise, the neighbors will be suspicious. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll arrange it!" shouted, Lu Liugui hurriedly turned into a flying insect and flew out of the window. At the same time, the canopy also turned into a flying insect and chased in the direction where Xuanzang left.
......
At this moment, the monkey is still hanging in the air, still monitoring the Leiyin Temple. And in the back hall of the Leiyin Temple, Lingji and the six-eared macaque are still facing each other.
"What the hell are you up to?"
"Good plan. ”
"What's a good plan?"
"It's not good, but if it works, it's called a good plan. ”
"Say!" the six-eared macaque roared, "What kind of conspiracy is it!"
"Don't say it, don't say it. If you say that, it will not work. Lingji replied with a smile: "But then again, they can actually see through it." It's a pity that the monkey is more vigilant and has a ...... memory It's not very good. ”
......
On the long and narrow streets, the people lined up on both sides, one by one, clasped their hands, and waited silently.
Xuanzang walked in the middle.
Behind him, dozens of monks who had just been ordained were closely followed. In their hands, without exception, they dragged the plates containing the ritual utensils they had invited from the Leiyin Temple. The look was devout.
Soon, the group arrived at a clearing. In the middle of the open space, a prayer platform made of bamboo, one foot high, was erected early.
Xuanzang couldn't help but stop.
When I looked up, I saw a gray sky. A gentle breeze blew, and the bamboo at the top of the prayer platform trembled slightly.
In the distance, the little white dragon said cautiously: "Why does this bamboo platform look a little unsturdy." You say, could they have deliberately made an unsturdy bamboo platform so that it would collapse and hurt Master Xuanzang?"
"Didn't the marshal follow?" the black bear spirit on the side whispered: "No matter what, the marshal won't let a bamboo platform hurt Master Xuanzang, right? Besides, our brother is still lurking inside." Not to mention the bamboo platform, even if someone shoots an arrow at Master Xuanzang, he can't hurt him. ”
"Then you say, what is that Lingji doing with such a big battle? It can't be a joke, right?"
The black bear spirit shook his head, puzzled.
Xuanzang took a deep breath and walked step by step towards the high platform.
At this moment, no one noticed that the magic weapon that had been placed on the four sides of the high platform was flickering slightly. (To be continued.) )
