"National Master of Chechi Kingdom?"
The Jade Emperor did not answer the monkey's question directly, but deliberately showed a look of thinking and reminiscing, and inadvertently glanced at Taibai Jinxing next to him.
Taibai Jinxing immediately understood and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I do know something about this matter."
"Oh?" The Jade Emperor pretended to be surprised and said, "Does Aiqing know?"
Taibai Jinxing said: "Your Majesty is busy with everything, and it is inevitable that you will forget some trivial things, but I remember it clearly. Twenty years ago, I and Your Majesty played a duel in the Qinzheng Hall, and some monks from the mortal world went up to the altar to practice, sent documents to the heaven, and burned I wrote the letter, and what I was talking about was the drought in Chechi State."
The Jade Emperor showed a look of surprise and said: "I remembered it. This is what happened. The mortal monk is a disciple of Xuanmen. When praying for rain, his attitude is respectful and his words are sincere."
"I took pity on his kind heart, so I issued an edict to the Heavenly Lord's Mansion and allowed him a heavy rain. Unexpectedly, he became the king of Chechi Kingdom."
"Your Majesty is merciful." Taibai Jinxing said: "What the Chechi State Master did was in compliance with heaven's rules, and it was approved by His Majesty. It was not a selfish act, there was nothing wrong with it, and it was not considered a violation of heaven's rules."
As the ruler of the three realms, the Jade Emperor is aloof and naturally cannot participate in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, or even show any inclination.
He couldn't answer the monkey's question, not even by simply telling the truth.
I can only give the answer through the words of Taibaijinxing.
This is really the case!
The monkey looked confused.
There are thousands of ways to make rainfall in the world, and the Five Thunder Method is undoubtedly the most formal but also the most troublesome and difficult to succeed!
The core of it is not how good your magic power is, but how you can get the Jade Emperor to approve it and order someone to give you rain!
This is much more difficult than calling the wind and rain!
The monkey asked: "Before the national master prayed for rain, the monks of Chechi State also went to the altar to pray for rain. Why didn't you give them rain?"
The monkey just asked casually, but when it fell into the mouths of all the civil and military immortals in the Lingxiao Palace, it was like a thunderous explosion.
Lingxiao Palace suddenly fell silent.
Everyone took a breath, with a bit of panic in their expressions.
The monkey had just broken through the window covering the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, which only caused some embarrassment to both Buddhism and Taoism.
Now this is a bit heartbreaking!
This is accusing the Jade Emperor of favoring Taoism and suppressing Buddhism!
Coupled with his identity as a Buddhist scripture protector in the West!
The matter is very serious!
"presumptuous!"
Before the Jade Emperor could speak, Taibai Jinxing was already glaring angrily and scolded: "Sun Wukong! What is your intention in saying this! There are so many things in the Three Realms, how can your Majesty look at them one by one? The desires of all living beings are endless, how can your Majesty agree to everything? "
The monkey was startled and smiled: "I just asked casually, why are you so angry?"
Taibai Jinxing snorted coldly and warned: "Sun Wukong, now that you have converted to Samana, don't speak as openly as before, so as not to bring disaster to yourself!"
It was the first time that the monkey saw Taibai Jinxing's expression, and he was a little baffled.
However, when I saw all the civil and military immortals in the Lingxiao Palace, they all showed expressions of approval.
The monkey's heart thumped, and he finally realized that something was wrong.
Monkey quickly reviewed what he had said in his mind, and Monkey quickly found the crux of the matter.
Could it be...
Not only in Chechi Kingdom, but also in the entire Three Realms, Buddhism and Taoism are also tit-for-tat and incompatible?
The monkey's pupils shrank suddenly, a little unbelievable.
For so many years, he has always regarded the immortals and Buddhas as one family. He never thought that behind these seemingly carefree immortals and Buddhas, there were actually so many swords and shadows hidden behind them!
The harmony he saw was just an appearance!
The monkey's mind suddenly flashed through what the monks from Chechi Kingdom had said and what the Protector Jialan had given them in a dream -
"I'm just waiting for him (Sun Wukong) to show his magical power and destroy the Taoist priests, and I will respect your Samana Zen teachings."
He originally thought that these monks were retelling it with resentment towards the Taoist priests of Chechi State. Now it seems that these are most likely the exact words of Protector Jialan!
Protector Jialan didn't even think about reconciling with Xuanmen, but wanted to use his hand to destroy the Taoist priests in Chechi Kingdom, so that Chechi Kingdom would only respect Buddhism!
This is asking me, Lao Sun, to surrender my name!
The monkey's eyes narrowed and he thought to himself.
He has walked the mortal world for many years.
I heard someone say that when bandits join a gang, they must first kill someone to cut off their own escape route. This is commonly known as "voting a name certificate"!
He never imagined that he would have to hand in his name when he entered this monastery!
Thinking again of how Li Anran tried to shirk it earlier.
He didn't quite understand it before, but now it seems that it is clear that Li Anran has seen through the mystery behind Che Chiguo's incident and is unwilling to get involved.
The monkey's thoughts were wandering there. The Jade Emperor was worried that the monkey was speaking uncontrollably and saying things he shouldn't have said, so he wanted to send him away as soon as possible.
"Sun Wukong, if you have nothing to do, you can go down to earth as soon as possible and escort your master to the West to obtain scriptures. Mortal affairs are decided by mortals. If you participate too much, it may not be a good thing."
Monkey had no intention of saying anything more and immediately resigned and left.
After leaving the Lingxiao Palace, Monkey felt as if he was in another world. Looking at the golden light and auspicious energy in the heaven, and the countless magnificent palaces, he felt that there was a very deep malice hidden behind it.
Behind that majestic and solemn face, God knows what kind of heart is hidden!
"Gods, Buddhas... huh, they may not be any better than mortal monsters!"
The monkey muttered in his heart.
Looking up in the direction of Tianlao, Monkey hesitated for a moment, and did not choose to ask Li Anran to confirm whether his guess was correct. He flew directly to Xiniu Hezhou in the clouds, hoping to find the truth on his own.
Soon, the monkey returned to Chechi Country.
The three monks were waiting for the monkeys in the forest outside Chechi. Seeing that the sun was about to set and they didn't see the monkeys coming back, they went directly to Chechi.
I also met the group of monks from Zhiyuan Temple at the gate of the city, and went back to Zhiyuan Temple with them. I also learned from them about the dream of Liu Ding Liujia protecting Jialan.
As soon as the monkey lowered its head, the three monks from Tang Dynasty and the monks from Zhiyuan Temple gathered around.
Zhu Bajie complained: "Brother Monkey, where have you been? Why are you back now? Master has been waiting for you impatiently!"
"Go, go, go! What do you know, you idiot!" The monkey walked quickly to Tang Monk and shouted, "Master! I just went to find out the news! I came back too late!"
Tang Seng nodded and asked, "What did you find out?"
Before the monkey could speak, Zhu Bajie muttered from the side: "What's there to find out? I think he went to eat alone! Leave the three of us here! Old pig, I'm so hungry!"
The monks of Zhiyuan Temple are in a difficult situation. There are only some coarse grains in Zhiyuan Temple. Not only is it unpalatable, but they are not full!
Zhu Bajie was filled with resentment.
"Idiot, you think everyone is like you and just remembers to eat!"
The monkey glared at Zhu Bajie, then glanced at the group of monks, and said coldly: "We have just arrived here, who knows whether what these monks say is true or false!"
The monks were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Grandpa Great Sage, everything we said is the truth, and we dare not lie in the slightest!"
Tang Monk looked displeased: "Wukong, monks don't lie. Why would they lie to you for no reason!"
"that is!"
Zhu Bajie nodded repeatedly and said: "Brother Monkey, I think you are too suspicious! Protector Jialan has already said that if you, Sun Xingzhe, use your magical powers to get justice for them, we will just go to those three demons to settle the score!" No need to go to such trouble!"
Sha Seng also echoed from the side: "Senior Brother, what Master and Second Senior Brother said makes sense! Let's settle the matter of Che Chiguo as soon as possible, so we can get on the road as soon as possible!"
The monkey's eyes swept over the three of them, and he suddenly laughed and said, "I, Sun, feel the same way! I just don't know what Master and the two wise brothers are planning to do?"
There are some cards... I will make up for the missing ones tomorrow...
