The four of them came to the front of Wufeng Tower, saluted the Huangmen official, reported their names, and asked them to turn around.

The official of the Yellow Gate entered the hall and played: "Your Majesty, there are four monks outside, saying that the Tang Dynasty of the Eastern Soil went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, and they want to come to change Guan Wen, and now they are waiting for the decree in front of the Wufeng Tower." ”

When the king heard this, he glared and shouted: "This monk has no place to seek death, so he came to me to seek death! Why didn't the patrol officer tie them up and take them over?"

The master flashed out next to him, and stepped forward to play: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger first!" Dongtu Datang is located in the southern Ganbu Continent, known as the big country of China, separated by thousands of miles, there are many monsters on the road, where can ordinary people get to our country. This monk must have some mana to dare to come to the West to come here. I hope that Your Majesty will see that they are monks from afar in China, and summon them to inspect and let them go, firstly, to show the good name of our country, secondly, so as not to hurt the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and thirdly, to prevent these monks from spreading rumors and causing trouble. ”

The king pondered for a long time, thinking about it, and ordered the four Tang monks to come to the Jinluan Palace. The golden cicada master and apprentice entered the hall, stood in front of the jade steps, held the Guan Wen and handed it to the driving officer, who forwarded it to the king.

When the king saw the ugly appearance of Sun Wukong, he was immediately a little scared. He pretended to be calm, unfolded Guan Wen, and was about to check it, when he saw the Huangmen official come in and report: "Your Majesty, the three national teachers are here." ”

The king was overjoyed, and if he had a national teacher, he would not be afraid of a monk!

Jin Chanzi turned his head to see that three old Taoist priests with fairy wind and Taoist bones came over at the door, followed by two unkempt and small bun Taoists, and when the officials on both sides saw them, they all bowed their bodies to show their salutes.

The three old Taoist priests walked up to the hall, and they did not salute the king, and when they saw four strange monks standing in the hall, they all looked at them.

The king laughed and said, "The national teacher!

"There's something to play Your Majesty, so I came uninvited. Where did those four monks come from?" Huli Daxian pointed to the golden cicada.

"It was a monk sent by the Tang Dynasty to the West to learn scriptures to exchange Guan Wen. ”

The three old Taoist priests slapped their hands and laughed: "I thought they ran away, but they are still here!"

The king was taken aback: "What did the national teacher say? The widow was about to arrest them and send them to the national teacher. Taishi said that they came from the Tang Dynasty and didn't want to hurt the two countries, so they were summoned to inspect it. Could it be that these monks have offended the national teacher?"

Luli Daxian stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know. They came yesterday and killed two of our apprentices outside the east gate, released 500 prisoners, and smashed vehicles. Last night, he broke into the temple again, destroyed the Sanqing icon, and stole the offerings given by the emperor. We were deceived by him, thinking that it was Tianzun who came down to earth and begged for holy water and golden pills to prolong his life. Unexpectedly, they took some urine, saying that it was holy water, and deceived us. We each took a sip and tasted it, and were about to arrest it, when they ran away. I can't imagine that I am still here today, there is really a way in heaven that he doesn't go, and hell has no door to cast!"

When the king heard this, he was furious, and with a wave of his hand, he called the imperial soldiers to take down the Tang monk and apprentice.

"Amitabha!" Sun Wukong clasped his palms together and shouted, shocking everyone, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, please take a break from your anger and let the little monk play." ”

"You collided with the national teacher, what else is there to say?"

"He said that I had killed two of his apprentices outside the city yesterday, and who would be the witness? If we insist on imposing a crime, we will admit our grievances and ask two monks to pay for their lives and let the other two go to learn the scriptures. He also said that I smashed the car and released the prisoner monk, and no one witnessed this, and since there is no evidence, we can't be sentenced to death, so let's take a step back and ask another monk to stay and confess the guilt. But he also said that I ruined the statue of Sanqing and caused trouble to Guanyu, which is another framing of me. ”

"How can it be framed?"

"We are Dongtu monks, we have just arrived, and we are not familiar with the streets, how do we know that he has offerings to eat at night? If we really gave them urine, they should be caught on the spot, why did we only come to disturb the peace until now and accused people of harming people? There are countless people with the same name and surname in the world, how can we be sure that it is us? I hope Your Majesty will take a closer look!"

You are monks, and that in itself is a sin! Because this is the place of Taoism.

The king was already in a coma, and when Wukong said it again, he was decided.

was pondering, and suddenly saw the Yellow Gate official come in again: "Your Majesty, there are many fathers and villagers outside the palace gate listening to the announcement!"

King Chechi loved the people in his own country, and the people loved him very much, and the people also supported the king's decree. Therefore, when the king decreed the extermination of the monks, none of the monks who were arrested to work as coolies could escape because of the joint defense of the army and the people.

When the people had any business, they often came to the king on their own. At this moment, the official of the Yellow Gate came to report, saying that there were many fathers and villagers outside the palace gate, and the king immediately put down the matter of the four monks and announced the villagers to the palace.

"What's the matter?"

Thirty or forty villagers came to the hall and kowtowed to the top and asked: "Long live, this spring, there has been no rain, I'm afraid there will be a drought in the summer. ”

"Fellow villagers, please rest assured, retreat first, and there will be rain. ”

The villagers thanked them and went out.

After the villagers left, the king suddenly had an idea and thought of a way to catch the four monks, so he said: "Tang Dynasty monks, do you know why I worship the Tao and destroy the monks? When I asked for rain, I asked the monks for no rain or dew, and I saw that the people were about to sink into the sea of suffering, and the monks enjoyed empty offerings and did nothing. In times of crisis, thanks to the national teacher from heaven, he saved all the people from misery.

"If you offend the national teacher, you should be asked, but you are far away, and forgive you for the time being. Now that the people have come to beg for rain, do you dare to gamble with the national teacher to win and ask for rain? If you can pray for a sweet rain and help all the people, I will spare you for your crimes, change the customs text, and let you go west. If you can't ask for rain, then you will be useless monks, so I will push you to the execution ground and behead you to show the public!"

The king's move was also a clever move, because he believed in the three national teachers too much.

But what he didn't expect was that these four monks, except for the white and chubby monk who was born in Buddhism, the other three ugly monks were halfway monks, all of them abandoned the Tao and entered the Buddha, and they were all apprentices of Taoist masters before, and unlike other monks, they all had Taoist magic powers.

When Sun Wukong heard this, he really hit the nail on the head, and said with a smile: "The little monk also knows how to pray." ”

As soon as the king heard the invitation, he was no longer ambiguous, and immediately ordered someone to clean the altar ground, and then instructed the left and right: "Swing the car!

On the Wufeng floor, the king sat in the center, the three old Taoist priests and the king sat together equally, accompanied by civil and military officials on both sides, and the four Tang monks stood downstairs.

After a while, a general Pegasus came to report: "The altar and the Dharma field have been properly prepared, please invite the grandfather of the national teacher to ascend the altar." ”

Huli Daxian stood up, arched his hand, resigned from the king, and walked downstairs. Sun Wukong saw it and stepped forward to stop: "Where is Mr. going?"

"Go up to the altar and pray for rain. "Huli Daxian didn't squint and walked straight forward.

"You're too polite, we're guests from afar, and you won't let you go?" Okay, the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, so let Mr. go first, but you must go to Your Majesty first!"

"What are you talking about?"

"You and I both went to the altar to ask for rain, and when the rain came down, who could tell whether it was yours or mine?"

When the king heard this, he secretly rejoiced in his heart and said, "There is some truth in what the little monk said. ”

When Sha Seng heard it, he smiled secretly: "I don't know if it's a belly of truth, or a belly of barbarian truth, I haven't taken it out yet!"

"Needless to say, Your Majesty naturally knows. ”

"Although Your Majesty knows, we are from afar, and it is better to explain life clearly, so as not to rely on each other when we get it. ”

Huli Daxian said coldly: "I go to the altar this time, and I only look at my token as a sign: a token sounds, and the wind comes." Two tokens rang, and the clouds rose. Three token sounds, lightning and thunder. Four token rings, rain comes. Five token sounds, the clouds disperse and the rain reaps!"

"Good! wonderful!" Sun Wukong smiled, "Please! please!"

Huli Daxian didn't answer, and dragged away and walked forward. The four of Jin Chanzi's master and apprentice then followed.

When I came to the door of the altar, I looked up and saw that there was a high platform, about three zhang high.

On the left and right of the platform are the banners of the twenty-eight constellations. There was a table on the altar with an incense burner on it, and the smoke from the stove was misty. There are two candlesticks on either side of the table, and the candlesticks are lit with wind candles, and the lights are brilliant. On the table was a gold medal by the incense burner, and the name of Thor was engraved on it.

There are five large water tanks under the Dharma platform, lined up, all filled with clear water, and willow branches floating on the water. On the willow branch, there is an iron card, and the card is cast with the rune of the Thunder Division.

On the left and right of the platform, there are five large wooden stakes, on which are written the names of the five barbarian thunder messengers. There were two Taoist priests standing next to each pile, each with a hammer in their hands, waiting to drive the pile. Behind the platform, there were also bookcases, and there were many Taoist priests writing there.

There is a paper stove in the middle, and there are some fairy paper puppets made of colored paper and colored silk tied and pasted by the hearth, all of which are gods such as messengers and land praisers.

Looking at this scene, it is really an orthodox Taoist dharma field.

Huli Daxian walked straight to the stage, and the little Taoist priest next to him came to wait, holding a few talismans written on yellow paper, a sword, and handed it to Huli Daxian.

Huli Daxian held a sword in his hand, posed, recited words in his mouth, picked up a talisman and lit it on the candle flame. There were two or three Taoist priests at the bottom of the platform, and they also picked up a paper puppet and a document of the messenger, and burned it together.

After reciting the incantation, the tiger power immortal on the stage picked up the token and threw it down, landing on the ground with a sound. At that moment, under the clear sky, a cool breeze suddenly blew in mid-air.

"Oh no! Oh no! This Taoist priest really has the ability! The token rang, and sure enough, the wind blew!" Zhu Bajie saw that the wind was blowing, and he screamed softly.

Sun Wukong has been staring at Huli Daxian, and when he saw this situation, he was also a little surprised: This old Taoist priest has some origins!

But he was bold and bold, and he didn't panic, and whispered to Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha: "Bajie, Lao Sha, you pay attention, don't talk to me, protect the master wholeheartedly, and wait for my grandson to go out." ”
