Chapter 224: Lethe River Ghost Monarch
But it is said that the golden cicada sat in the meditation hall of Baolin Temple, looking at the moonlight outside the window, and only sat until the third watch, when he heard a sound outside the door, and a gust of wind was blowing. The golden cicada probably blew out the lamp, and covered the sleeves of its shirt, and saw that the lamp was bright or dark. The figure of the golden cicada turned into a golden light, flew out of the meditation hall, and landed in the small courtyard.
In the Zen courtyard, under the Bodhi tree, the little white dragon stood in a white robe, and when he saw the golden cicada coming, he said, "Master, I have already invited you." ”
Jin Chanzi nodded and said, "Okay, leave the rest to me, you go to sleep first." ”
The little white dragon nodded and returned to the separate meditation hall to sleep.
The golden cicada stood in the Zen courtyard, the wind was blowing, the leaves were rattling, and the wind was whining and mourning. The golden cicada stood in the middle, letting the yin wind blow the moon-white monk's robe, he was still in a daze, waited for a while, and said: "Are you shameless to see the little monk, or do you dare not see the little monk?"
As he spoke, the yin wind stopped, and after a while, he got up again, and someone in the yin wind faintly shouted: "Master!"
Jin Chanzi raised his eyes and saw a man standing under the shadow of the tree, up and down, drenched in water, with tears in his eyes, and he couldn't stop shouting: "Master!
Jin Chanzi said: "You have always been a good monk, how did you end up in this field?" Jin Chanzi's words naturally knew the man.
The man leaned on the meditation hall and said, "Master, why do you ridicule me today......?
Jin Chanzi said: "It's good to know, why bother to say it?" Seeing this man's embarrassed appearance, Rao is Jin Chanzi was very determined, and he couldn't help but babble. Said: "I said that you really don't know how to enjoy and wake up to the power of the world." Drunk and lying on the knees of beauties, don't you do the emperor who kills and kills? Green vegetables and tofu, chanting scriptures and acting, what's so fun? Look at you now, the monk has not done it, but has become a water ghost, making a mess and can't bear to look at it directly. ”
Jin Cicada Ziguo looked at the place carefully, and saw that he was wearing a sky-high crown on his head and a jasper belt around his waist. Wearing a yellow robe with a flying dragon and phoenix ochre, stepping on a pair of cloud-headed embroidered mouths, and holding a Douluo Star Bai Yugui in his hand. The face is like the Dongyue Immortal Emperor, and the shape is similar to the Wenchang Kaihua Jun.
Even if he fell into trouble and became a water ghost, he did not hide the appearance of the emperor.
This respectful face, Jin Chanzi did know each other, and there was a relationship on the side of the bridge, it was the ghost king of Lechuan, who was reincarnated as Jiao Zhongqing in the previous life.
Jiao Zhongqing sighed. Said: "Are you willing to do it?" Just because I offended the King of the Earth, I couldn't go to the underworld again, so I had to think of approaching the Buddha Gate and going, but I didn't expect it. The Bodhisattva on the Western Spirit Mountain is also like this, which is really chilling. ”
Jin Chanzi was a little ashamed to see that the ghost king of Lethe River was said. He still didn't give up, so he asked with a gesture. He asked without yin or yang: "Your Majesty, are you the emperor there? The slanderers bullied and escaped in the middle of the night. Whatever you have to say, speak to me. ”
Lethe Ghost Monarch said: "Master, you must know about this matter, why should I say it again? Expose my shortcomings and stab my scars." ”
Jin Chanzi said: "How does the little monk know?"
Lethe Ghost Monarch said: "Since you don't know, how can Longzi say that you asked him to come to me?"
Jin Chanzi said: "This matter was originally told by the Dragon King of the Well to the Dragon King of the West Sea, and the Dragon Son was originally the third prince of the West Sea, so it doesn't seem strange to know about it." ”
Lethe Ghost Monarch said: "It's so strange, it's no wonder." ”
Jin Chanzi said: "Tell me what happened? ”
Only then did the ghost monarch of Lechuan promise, while talking about the old things, he frowned and appealed, and said: "Master, since I was reincarnated, I have followed Liu Lanzhi to be reborn, and my family lives in the west, only forty miles away. There is a city in that room, which is the place of Xingji. ”
Jin Chanzi said: "What is the name of the place?"
Lechuan Ghost Jun said: "Don't hide it from the master, it was I who founded the family state at that time and changed the name to the black chicken country. ”
Jin Chanzi said: "Your Majesty is so panicked, but why is it here?"
Lechuan Ghost Jun said: "Master, five years ago when I was here, there was a drought every year, the grass did not grow, and the people starved to death, which was very sad. ”
When Jin Chanzi heard this, he nodded and sighed: "Your Majesty, the ancients are cloudy, and the country is in good spirits. Presumably, you did not show mercy to the people, and when you were desolate, why did you hide away from the city? You went to open a storehouse to give relief to the people, repented of your past wrongs, revived the present good, and pardoned those who perverted the law. Naturally, the heart of heaven is harmonious, and the rain is in tune with the wind. ”
Lechuan Ghost Jun said: "My country's middle warehouse is empty, the money and food are exhausted, the civil and military classes are suspended, and the widow's meal is not meat. Follow the example of King Yu to control the water, suffer the joys and hardships with all the people, bathe and fast, burn incense and pray day and night. In this way, for three years, only the river dried up and the wells dried up. is in a critical place, and suddenly Zhong Nanshan came to a full truth, which can call the wind and rain, and turn stones into gold. When I saw me first, I was a civil and military official, and then I saw me, and immediately asked him to go up to the altar to pray, and sure enough, I saw that where the token rang, it rained heavily in an instant. The widow only hoped that three feet of rain would be enough, and he said that the long drought could not moisten it, and it rained two inches more. When I saw that he was so righteous, I bowed to him eight times and called him a brother. ”
Jin Chanzi said: "Your Majesty is also very happy. ”
Lethe Ghost Monarch said: "Where does the joy come from?"
Jin Chanzi said: "That Quanzhen has such skills, if it rains, teach him to rain, and if it wants gold, teach him to count gold." And what are the shortcomings, but they have left the city and come here?"
The ghost king of Lechuan only knew that he was a golden cicada, and said: "I only have two years to sleep with him and eat." In the spring weather, the red apricots and peaches, the flowers and blooms, the families and the girls, the kings and grandchildren everywhere, all go to the spring to enjoy the fun. At that time, the civil and military returned to the government, and the concubines were transferred to the hospital. I walked slowly hand in hand with Na Quanzhen, to the imperial garden, and suddenly walked to the octagonal glass well, I don't know what he left behind, there are ten thousand golden lights in the well. Coaxed me to the well to see what treasure, he suddenly became fierce, pushed the widow down the well, covered the mouth of the well with a stone slab, hugged the soil, and moved a plantain to plant on it. Pity me, I've been dead for three years, and I'm a wronged ghost who fell into a well and was injured!"
Jin Chanzi asked him again: "Your Majesty, you don't pay attention to what you said. After three years of death, the civil and military officials, the queen of the three palaces, met the three dynasties and saw the palace, why didn't they look for you?"
Lechuan Ghost Monarch said: "Master." Speaking of his ability, it is really rare in the world! He was in the garden and he was transformed into me. More indiscriminately. Now they have taken possession of my land, and have invaded my land. He took my two classes of civil and military, four hundred court officials, the queen of the three palaces, and the concubines of the six courtyards. ”
Jin Chanzi said: "Your Majesty, you are too cowardly. Back then, Liu Lanzhi hung herself on the southeast branch, but you failed to end it from the beginning, and now it is rare to have a chance to stay together. You don't say anything about the three palaces and six courts, and you even let others take your wife and children, it's true, it's true, it's just that, the little monk doesn't know how to say that you're good. After a pause, he said, "Even if Liu Lanzhi can't recognize you, there are other ways out?"
Lethe Ghost Monarch said: "How do you say that?"
Jin Chanzi said: "Your Majesty, that monster has some magical powers. Change into your appearance, encroach on your Qiankun, civil and military can't know, and the concubine can't know. Only you understand when you die, and after you die, all your memories will be restored. Past and present lives, you should be quite clear. Why don't you tell the king of Hades? After all, the king of the Ten Palaces also has some friendship with you, even if you can't go to the underworld to complain. However, Meng Po will also make decisions for you. ”
Lethe Ghost Monarch sighed and said: "After my death, my memory has been restored, how can I not know Meng Po's difficulties? She has suffered enough over the years, how dare I make trouble for her again? In the years when I was an official in the underworld, how could I not understand the sinister nature of the underworld? I said that I was going to appeal, but how could I come back? What's more, the magic power of the whole body is vast, the officials are familiar, the capital city god often drinks with him, the sea dragon king is related to him, Dongyue Tianqi is his good friend, and the tenth generation of Yama is his half-brother. Therefore, I have no way to complain. ”
Jin Chanzi frowned slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, this monster has such ability, just meet the little monk today, and the little monk will save you from suffering." ”
Lechuan Ghost Jun said: "I haven't thanked for my kindness back then, and now I have to bother my master again, I'm really ashamed." Thousands of beggars come to our country, take the demons, distinguish the evil from the right, I should be the grass ring, and reward the teacher!"
Jin Chanzi said: "It is inconvenient for the little monk to make a move. ”
Lechuan Ghost Jun said: "I know this, although I don't know the cause and effect, half a month ago, Meng Po also found someone to trust me with a letter, saying that you will save me from suffering, saying that it is inconvenient for you to make a move, and please bother your disciples to help, I heard that the Monkey King is under your account, and he is the most powerful at killing demons." ”
Jin Chanzi said: "My apprentice can't do anything else, but it is appropriate for him to say that he will subdue demons and catch monsters." Although he is to blame, I am afraid that it is difficult to do it rationally. ”
Lethe Ghost Monarch said: "Why is it difficult?"
Jin Chanzi said: "That monster has great magical powers, and has become the same as you, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and all of them are harmonious and smooth; Even if my apprentice has the means, he will never dare to act lightly. If we are caught by many officials, saying that we are bullying the state and destroying the country, and ask a great crime of rebellion, and being trapped in the city, but not painting a tiger and carving a hoof?"
Lethe Ghost Monarch said: "I still have people in the court." ”
Jin Chanzi said: "But it's good! But it's good! It must be a generation of princes' attendants, where did he go to guard it?"
Lethe Ghost Monarch said: "No. I have a prince in my palace, who is my own prince. ”
Jin Chanzi said: "Then the prince must have been degraded by the demon?"
Lechuan Ghost Monarch said: "No, he is only in the Jinluan Palace, in the Wufeng Tower, or talking to the bachelor, or ascending the throne together." Since then, for three years, the prince has not been allowed to enter the palace and cannot meet his mother. ”
Jin Chanzi said: "Why is this?"
Lechuan Ghost Jun said: "This is a strategy made by the monster, I am afraid that his mother and son will see each other, and he will talk about the long and short in his leisure, and he is afraid that he will leave the news." Therefore the two will not meet, and he will have to live forever. ”
Jin Chanzi asked again: "Even if you have the prince in the court, how can I meet him?"
Lechuan Ghost Jun felt strange, in his impression, the golden cicada was extremely smart, how could he be restrained everywhere at this time, and said, "Why can't you see it?"
Jin Chanzi said: "He is under the control of demons, and he can't even see a biological mother, I'm a monk, why do you want to see him?"
Lethe Ghost Monarch said: "With Master's ability, how can you not see it?"
Jin Chanzi said: "The little monk is just a monk who came from the west. ”
Lechuan Ghost Jun suddenly said: "He will come out tomorrow morning." ”
Jin Chanzi asked, "What are you doing in the court?"
Lechuan Ghost Jun said: "Tomorrow morning, lead 3,000 men and horses, set up eagles and dogs out of the city to hunt, and the master will meet him." When he saw that I would speak my words to him, he believed. ”
Jin Chanzi said: "He was originally a mortal with the naked eye, and he was coaxed by demons in the palace, so he didn't call him a few fathers that day?
Lechuan Ghost Jun said: "I'm afraid that he won't believe it, so I'll leave a note for you." ”
Jin Chanzi asked, "What is it?"
The man put down the golden box Bai Yugui in his hand and said, "This thing can be remembered." ”
Jin Chanzi said: "What is this thing?"
Lethe Ghost Jun forcibly suppressed his temperament and explained: "Quan Zhen has changed into my appearance since he became me, but he has changed this treasure less. He went to the palace and said that the whole man who begged for rain had turned this way, and since then there has been no such thing for three years. If my prince sees it, and he sees things and thinks of people, he will take revenge. ”
Jin Chanzi looked at the sky and said, "Okay, wait for me to stay, and the apprentice will deal with you." But where are you waiting?" (To be continued......)
