There was a lot of excitement in the tea house, but it immediately became quiet when the storyteller woke up and patted the wood.
"Fire eyes and golden eyes, you are really powerful..."
"Where's the back?"
"Is there really a heaven in this world?"
"What about gods? Do they exist? Do they really exist?"
People who listened to the book talked a lot, and the more they listened, the more fascinated they became. When they talked about the one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, they couldn't help but sweat. A magnificent scene seemed to appear in their minds, which made people's hearts tremble.
Stringer was equally puzzled and asked the gentleman next to him: "Mr. Chen, is this story really just a story?"
Chen Changsheng looked at him and said, "It's just a story."
Strings paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Sir, you didn't finish what you said last night. Did the Great Sage finally become a Buddha?"
"The Fighting Victory Buddha."
"But I feel that the Great Sage is not willing to become a Buddha, and I don't understand. When there was a big commotion in the Heavenly Palace, it was clear that the entire Heaven could not do anything to the Great Sage. Why did a few monsters after leaving Wuzhishan... Block the way of the great sage."
Chen Changsheng said: "Actually, this was a scam from the beginning. Xiniu Hezhou is in a state of fragmentation. Taoism and Buddhism are all occupying Xiniu Hezhou and claiming power and dominance."
"But as Buddhism continues to grow, Tathagata finally decided to unify Xiniu Hezhou. The purpose of Xitian's Buddhist scriptures is to spread the gospel of Buddhism, and secondly to end the current situation of Xiniu Hezhou. The true scripture is just a cover."
After hearing this, String Stringer was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't it true that Buddhism will never fight?"
Chen Changsheng said: "If you don't preach, how can there be teachings? Preaching comes first, teachings follow. The most hypocritical person in Journey to the West is Tathagata. He talks about one word of anger without any true explanation."
Stringer nodded in understanding, and then thought about what his husband said last night.
It seems to be true. There are monsters everywhere in Xiniu Hezhou, but Tathagata said that Xiniu Hezhou is neither greedy nor killing, and nourishes the energy and potential spirits...
Really hypocritical.
String Strings continued to listen to the storyteller on the stage.
After a while, I suddenly saw the waiter from the teahouse walking over.
After meeting Chen Changsheng, the waiter said, "Sir, there is a guest who would like to invite you upstairs for a chat."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng paused for a moment, then turned around and looked upstairs.
I saw an old man sitting on the second floor, raising his glass to Chen Changsheng.
Stringer also looked at it. She thought for a moment and suddenly said: "I seem to have seen this person before..."
"You'll find out when you get up there."
Chen Changsheng stepped forward and walked upstairs under the guidance of the teahouse waiter.
String String followed closely behind, going upstairs.
Chen Changsheng came to the table and then heard the old man say: "I just heard the little brother talking about Buddhism downstairs. On a whim, I asked the waiter to invite the little brother to come up."
"I see."
Chen Changsheng sat down and then looked at the person in front of him.
The old man in front of him was dressed very simply and had patches on his clothes. He seemed to be living a particularly frugal life.
"The old man is interested in Buddhism?" Chen Changsheng asked.
Liu Huaizhang smiled and said: "That's not true. I am just interested in this story. I have only listened to the story of Journey to the West for two days. There are some good reasons in it, but what the little brother said I’ve never heard of it before, so I was a little curious about it.”
Chen Changsheng said: "The journey to the West to obtain scriptures is a story that comes later."
Liu Huaizhang's eyes lit up and he said, "Is this a follow-up?"
"Has the old man read it once?" Chen Changsheng said.
"Read the book."
Liu Huaizhang said: "It's a pity that the Monkey King is gone after he was crushed under Wuzhi Mountain."
"As far as I know, Journey to the West has been out for more than two years and there has never been a follow-up. How did the little brother know the story behind it?"
Chen Changsheng smiled warmly and simply said, "I heard about it occasionally."
Liu Huaizhang poured the tea, handed it to Chen Changsheng in front of him, and then said, "Can you tell me the story behind this?"
Chen Changsheng said: "If we were to explain these ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties in detail, I might not be able to finish them in a few days."
"There are so many..."
Liu Huaizhang was also a little surprised. He thought for a moment and said, "Little brother, are you free on weekdays?"
"To be honest, I do like this story. If not, if you have time, little brother, can you come to the teahouse to play from time to time? I am always here. If you meet me, tell me about the previous article. What do you think? ?”
Chen Changsheng was stunned after hearing this. He did not expect that this person would be so persistent in this story.
Seeing that he was stunned, Liu Huaizhang immediately spoke again: "Of course I won't trouble my little brother in vain. I will give you some money in exchange, which will be used as story money."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng smiled and said: "It doesn't matter how much money is spent on books. Chen is free on weekdays, so he can chat with the elderly. However, if Chen wants to have a cup of tea for nothing, it should be okay."
When Liu Huaizhang saw that he agreed, he immediately smiled and said: "Of course you can, of course you can."
Chen Changsheng also smiled, and then took a sip of tea.
Stringer, who was standing nearby, suddenly reacted and said to his husband: "Mr. Chen, I remembered that I met him several times before when I was in court. He seems to be Liu Huaizhang, the magistrate of Shangjing County."
Chen Changsheng turned his head to look and paused.
It seems that I have heard this name mentioned before.
Liu Huaizhang couldn't help asking: "What are you looking at, little brother?"
Chen Changsheng turned around, smiled and said, "It's nothing, just taking a look."
Liu Huaizhang nodded and didn't think much about it.
Chen Changsheng said: "How about Chen starting from the time when the Monkey King was crushed under the Wuzhi Mountain?"
"Can."
Then Chen Changsheng started telling stories.
There was nothing to do with the string music, so he started listening to it.
Last night I was so focused on going to see my husband that I didn’t hear a lot of it clearly. Now that I listen to it again, I shouldn’t miss anything anymore.
"... But I saw dragons surrounding the sky, and flowers and rain blooming in abundance. It's exactly this: Zen heart shines brightly on thousands of rivers and the moon, and true nature reaches thousands of miles into the sky."
"After the Tathagata finished speaking, he said to everyone: I look at the four major continents, and the good and evil of all living beings are different in each area. Those in Shenzhou in the East respect heaven and earth, and feel refreshed and calm; those in Juluzhou in the north, although they like killing, Just because I make a living, my nature is clumsy and my feelings are sparse, and I don’t do much. I, a man from Xiniu Hezhou, am neither greedy nor killing, and nourish my energy and potential. Although it is supremely true, everyone can live a long life..."
"..."
Then he talked about Jiang Liuer's life experience, as well as Yuan Shoucheng and the Dragon King of Jinghe, Taizong Huanyang, and went on.
.
.
After a long pause, Liu Huaizhang couldn't help but said: "Jiang Liu'er really had a difficult life, but luckily things turned out smoothly later on, and when Taizong returned to the sun, Buddhism prospered. If we continue with the current, our journey to the west will be finalized."
As he spoke, he suddenly frowned and said, "Looking at it this way, it feels like a chess game."
Chen Changsheng nodded and said: "This situation has been started since the reincarnation of Jin Chan."
