Chapter 373: The King's Dream
On this day, there is a high mountain in the west blocking the road, Wukong protects Tang monks, walks up the mountain, looks at the red sun sinking in the west, the sky will be late, the front is not Ba Village, the back is not in the store, the master and apprentice are worried that they can't find a place to stay, suddenly see the corner of the temple in the recess of the mountain in front of them, hurriedly rushed to go, see that it is a temple, and the door forehead says "Ejian Baolin Temple".
Tang Seng was afraid that the apprentices would scare the monks, so they waited outside the door, and entered the mountain gate alone, the abbot in the temple was very snobbish, and he was not allowed to stay overnight.
Tang Seng wiped his tears and walked out, indicating that the abbot was very hateful, angered Wukong, shouted and broke into the mountain gate, he wanted to smash a few bald heads with a stick, and was afraid that Tang Seng would blame him for murder, reciting the tight mantra, he smashed the stone lion outside the abbot's door with a stick, this time, the abbot was scared out of his soul, and he was busy ordering his subordinates to go to hit the bell, gather the monks, and line up to greet him.
The abbot bowed his head and said, "Master Tang, please sit inside."
Bajie sneered and said, "When the master goes, there are tears in his eyes, and when the senior brother goes, how can they kowtow to pick them up?"
"As the saying goes, ghosts are afraid of the wicked!"
Immediately, the monks and the stars hugged the Tang monks and apprentices like the moon, some carried the burden, some led the horses, came to the temple, invited the master and apprentice to sit, and made a big salute again.
Tang monk felt deeply sorry not to go, even let the temple monks exempt from ceremony, not long after, the monk arranged a good meal, high palm lamp, invited Tang monk master and apprentice to fast, and then the abbot ordered people to feed the horses to feed the horses, make the bed of the bed, please Tang Dynasty lord rest.
It wasn't until Tang Seng entered the meditation hall that the abbot and five hundred monks were still waiting neatly in front of the hall, and Tang Seng repeatedly instructed them to dare to disperse to sleep.
Tang Seng saw that the moonlight was bright and clean, and the night was picturesque, so he stepped out of the meditation hall and enjoyed the moonlight. Let the apprentices go to sleep first, he turned on the lamp again, read the scriptures under the lamp, and did not put away the scriptures until the third watch, and wanted to sleep. Suddenly, I heard a gust of wind outside the door, and the lamp flickered on and off, so I fell asleep in a daze.
At this time, someone outside the door called "Master", the door opened, Tang Seng looked up, and saw a person standing outside the door, drenched in water, with tears in his eyes. Even called "Master".
Tang Seng bowed and scolded, "Where are you a demon and a ghost, who is here late at night? Leave quickly, don't alarm my apprentice, and break your body into thousands of pieces."
"I am not a demon, but a king who died to death."
Tang Seng looked carefully, and the man was indeed wearing a crown and a royal robe. The waist is tied with a jade belt, and the white jade is held. couldn't help but be shocked, bowed and shouted, "Which country are you?"
"Forty miles away from here, is my hometown, the country is called Wuji Country, five years ago. There was a great drought in the sky, not a single grass was grown, the people starved to death, and the widows shared the joys and sorrows with all the people, bathing and fasting. Burning incense and praying day and night, it still does not rain, the river is dry and the well is dry, and when it is critical, a Taoist comes from Zhongnan Mountain, who can call the wind and call the rain, and turn the stone into gold.
The widow asked him to ask for rain, and sure enough, the token sounded, and the rain was pouring down, and I saw that he had such a magic power to save my people, so I became brothers with him, and ate and lived together, and after two years, this year, the spring weather, red apricots and peaches, blooming stamens, I and the Taoist people joined hands in the imperial garden, and came to the octagonal glazed well, he pushed me into the well, covered with a stone slab, and planted a plantain, and I was pitiful at the bottom of the well, and it has been three years now."
Tang Seng was frightened, and dared to ask, "You have been dead for three years, and the civil and military officials, the queen of the three palaces, don't you know?"
"As soon as he transformed, he became my appearance and took possession of my country."
"You're not going to sue him?".
"His supernatural powers are vast, the gods are his friends, and even the tenth generation of Yan Jun is also his sworn brother, I have no way to sue, just now the night wandering god sued me, saying that I will be full of floods in three years, and Master's great apprentice Monkey King is good enough to subdue demons, so he sent me with a gust of wind and asked me to ask Master."
"Although my apprentice is used to catching demons, but since that monster has become your appearance, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military, three palaces and six courts all recognize him as the king, and my apprentice goes to take him, it doesn't make sense."
"Tomorrow my prince will go out of the city to hunt, and the master will try to meet him and tell him what I say, and he will believe it."
"He has to call that strange father a few times every day, how can he believe the words of the monk from afar?"
"When the Taoist pushed me into the well, he pushed me in with my gold inlaid white jade, although he became my appearance, only this jade was missing, I left the jade to the master, and he would believe the master's words when he saw it."
"I'll let my apprentice help you with this."
The king kowtowed goodbye, Tang Seng got up to see him off, stepped on the air, planted a somersault, and suddenly woke up, but it was Nan Ke who was in a dream, busy shouting, "apprentice, apprentice",
Goku jumped up and asked, "What's the matter?"
Tang Seng said Fang Cai's dream, Wukong opened the door, and under the moonlight, he saw that there was really a piece of gold inlaid white jade on the steps, so he said to Tang Seng, "Master, if you want to save the king, you have to follow my plan."
"What's your plan?".
Wukong plucked the roots and turned into a red gold lacquer box, and said, "Early tomorrow morning, you will hold this box and wait here, and wait for the old grandson to go to the city first to see if it is a demon, and then attract the prince, when the time comes, I will become a two-inch-long little monk and hide in the box, the prince comes, you don't pay attention to him, he will come to you for trouble, you say that there are three treasures, the first is a brocade robe, the second is me, the third is the jade, I will tell him what the master heard in his dream, and the master will call me the emperor!"
Wukong arranged to stop, the east has turned white, Wukong immediately jumped in the air with a somersault, looked at the city, found that it was really shrouded in strange fog and demonic energy, was sighing, only to listen to the sound of cannons, the east gate opened, rushed out of three thousand people, the first is a young general, wearing armor, sitting down on a yellow hussa, hanging a bow and arrows on his waist, look at the style, must be the prince.
Wukong immediately fell, turned into a little white rabbit, ran in front of the prince's horse, the prince shot an arrow, but Wukong caught the arrow, like an arrow, fled forward, after a while, the prince was led to the front of the Baoling Temple, the arrow was inserted on the threshold, the real body appeared, went straight to the main hall, said, "Master, the prince is here", immediately became a villain, hid in the box.
The prince chased to the mountain gate, saw the white rabbit missing, only to see the arrow stuck on the threshold, shouting "strange"! Immediately pulled out the arrow, entered the mountain gate, three thousand soldiers will catch up, surrounded the prince, show off the majesty to the main hall, panicked so that the abbot led the monks to kowtow, only Tang Seng sat still, Bajie, Sha Seng stood on both sides.
The prince was furious and said, "This monk is so rude, when he sees that I dare not worship, take it down!"
All the soldiers rushed up, but there were Dharma protectors and gods to protect Tang Seng, so that they could not get close, and the prince asked, "Where did you come from as a monk to make this kind of demon law?" (To be continued......)
