Bajie's words can make people laugh.
But Zhang Ren said: "No one has done this."
Mr. Ziyu frowned when he heard Bajie's words, but after hearing Zhang Ren's words, he relaxed a little and said: "It's not too bad, there is hope for salvation."
"Ha." Zhang Ren sneered, "Do you think they are good? They caught some homeless people, beggars and the like, shaved their heads and pretended to be monks."
Mr. Ziyu should have shouted angrily: "Damn it!"
He is a serious and well-educated Confucian scholar, and he cannot scold him with harsh words. Now that he has heard of the behavior of this country, he should know that this barbaric country, without the teachings of saints, actually does such barbaric things. Not ancient.
Now that the teacher has asked him to come down to earth, it is precisely for him to teach and bring order to the chaos.
Mr. Ziyu said to himself: Although the disciple is stupid, he has received the true inheritance from the teacher. It is time for Hezhou, Xiniu, to establish a Confucian inheritance.
Everyone saw that his aura suddenly became clear. They also saw that he had inserted the Analects of Confucius in his hand on his belt, but he took out a ruler from his sleeve and held it in his hand. In an instant, he showed a completely different attitude than before. Other temperaments are quite sharp.
It seemed that when he held the ruler in his hand, no one around him dared to speak loudly.
Perhaps he also noticed something strange, so he put the ruler away, looking simple and sincere again.
But Fahai knew very well that Mr. Ziyu in front of him was a genuine literary and Taoist master. He even felt that Kong Sheng sent this man to Chechi to teach, which was simply overkill.
"This king favors and trusts the immortals so much, which is not a long-lasting way for the people of a country." Mr. Ziyu pondered for a moment and said: "I want to teach here, but I am afraid it will be difficult. These three national teachers are very favored!"
Zhang Ren explained his doubts again: "If you just call for wind and rain, how can you win the king's heart so deeply? I have already found out in secret that these three national masters are used to kneading sand and refining mercury, meditating to preserve the spirit, and turning water into oil. Turning stone into gold. Nowadays, the Sanqing temple has been built, and people read and repent to the heaven and earth day and night, praying that the king will not grow old forever. This is why the king's heart is moved. The king of the country is actually thinking about seeking immortality."
"Scared!" Mr. Ziyu seemed to laugh in shock: "Even the First Emperor could not seek immortality, how could they do it? Yes, perhaps the king of the country deliberately wanted to please the three national masters in order to seek immortality. Otherwise, how could he do such a thing? What happened? It’s nothing more than destroying the religion.”
Although Bajie was not as eloquent as the Great Sage, he still spoke a lot. He asked the ranger: "These monks are also interesting. Why don't these people want to join forces and defect to other countries? They just want to suffer here." .”
"I asked them." Zhang Ren said, "There is something wrong with their brains."
"Um?"
"Not to mention those shadow drawings and the arrest order issued by the king, whether they can escape. Even if they can escape, I don't think they will escape."
"Why is this?" Mr. Ziyu couldn't figure it out.
"Do you know why I said before that there were no officials to let these monks go without permission and then capture them again?" You Xia'er said with a helpless expression: "I have inquired about it. Back then, there were two thousand of these monks, whether inside or outside. Those who were captured were locals. Even if there was no one to watch them, no one dared to run. At first, those who had their heads shaved and were captured by force dared to run, but later they didn’t even run away. They were obviously fake monks. With these If a true monk stays for a long time, he will really become someone who recites Buddha's name."
"They were oppressed. Although they complained from time to time, they always showed a resigned attitude. They firmly believed that the true Buddha and Bodhisattva would come to save them. Day by day, they became more and more pious." When Zhang Ren said this, he looked at the Dharma. Hai asked, "I haven't asked the master for his name yet."
"The poor monk Xuanzang was ordered by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to go to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures, and was given the Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty."
"It turns out to be Master Tripitaka." Zhang Ren seemed to have heard of his name. He politely raised his hand and said, "Master Tripitaka is an eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty. What do you think about this?"
Sanzang thought for a moment and said, "Seek benevolence and gain benevolence."
Mr. Ziyu also became curious: "What if Master Tripitaka is in it?"
Fahai said with a smile: "When the poor monk first came out of Baoxiang Kingdom, he met a demon.
King, he said something to the poor monk, and he said: "I found that you monks have a problem. When you encounter difficulties, you only chant Buddha and pray to Bodhisattvas. Do you have no legs? No hands? No brains? You only wait for the Buddha. With Bodhisattva coming to rescue, have you never thought of solving it on your own?"
Mr. Ziyu and Ranger Zhang Ren nodded after hearing this, and Zhang Ren even praised: "How does the mage reply to him?"
"Amitabha, when he asked me this question, he was the one who captured me and took me to his cave. He wanted his mother to eat the meat of a poor monk so that she could become immortal and become a Buddha." Fahaidun After a pause, he continued: "Now the poor monk has reached the Chechi Kingdom, and the demon king is pressed by the poor monk at the foot of Pingding Mountain. The poor monk has legs, hands, and brains. Although he believes in Buddha and worships Buddha, he does not seek Buddha. .”
"What's more, those who pray to the Buddha will be liberated and it is difficult to achieve the right result. The poor monk's wish is to conquer demons and save all living beings." Fa Hai looked at the two of them and smiled and said, "So I always do it myself when I encounter problems, oh. But now I have it." With four disciples accompanying me, I can order them around."
Bajie said from the side: "My master has never prayed to Buddha. You don't know that along the way, even those who used to worship Buddha now only worship my master. I don't know, you still think that I am the master."
"Bajie, be careful what you say."
Bajie retreated, and finally had a moment to show off to others, so he told Lao Zhu to be careful and just keep your words, but when it was my turn, Lao Zhu, I had to shut up?
Besides, who am I flattering? Not Master yet?
Little Bailong had a clear understanding and said in his heart: It's OK to show off, but not to brag.
After hearing this, Mr. Ziyu stood up and saluted, "You are indeed an eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty. I am so rude."
His movements are full of charm, which is pleasing to the eye, and his mood is broad-minded. You can't help but want to get close to him.
"As expected of an eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty." Zhang Ren also praised and said, "Do you know what happened to these two thousand monks?"
Mr. Ziyu said, "I was just about to ask, but if I just suffered, I wouldn't be able to understand. Are these monks really pious and have never given up their faith?"
Zhang Ren whispered: "I was about to say that among the more than 2,000 monks, six to seven hundred who came here could not endure the pain, torture, cold, or water and soil and therefore died; they committed suicide. There were also seven or eight hundred. In the end, only five hundred were left who were not allowed to die and were working for the Taoists outside the city gate."
"Amitabha." Fa Hai recited the Buddha's name and said, "Such dead souls are waiting for the poor monks to lead their souls to salvation."
"Huh?" Fa Hai recited a few words, but no soul was found. He said, "There are no souls with wrongdoings. They have transcended a long time ago? It seems that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas really only caused suffering and disaster in the human world, but still protected them."
After listening to what his master said, Wu Jing sighed: "Thinking about it, the remaining five hundred are really tough-minded people."
"No, no!" At this time, the voice of the Great Sage came in from outside. It turned out that the Great Sage had returned.
I saw a golden light falling and transformed into the appearance of the great sage, "Master, these five hundred are different. The disciple has already asked - it's not that they don't want to die, it's just that the hanging beam rope is broken. It doesn't hurt to be cut with a knife, and the ones that fall into the river float up." They will not sink, and their bodies will not be harmed if they take the medicine. Gods and Buddhas will protect them and prevent them from dying."
"Yo!" Bajie exclaimed in surprise, "What a great fortune, how can you achieve immortality? It can be seen that it is still the blessing of the Buddha, and their prayers to the Buddha are not in vain."
The Great Sage waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Yes, but also no."
"What does this mean?" Everyone was confused.
The Great Sage explained: "They say this is a long-lasting punishment, not a blessing! Their three meals a day are porridge made from brown rice. At night, they rest on the beach, and when they close their eyes, they are supported by gods and men. I am just afraid that they will commit suicide. It is said that those who protect them are Liu Ding Liujia and Protector Jialan. They will come at night and protect anyone who is about to die and do not teach him to die."
"Liuding Liujia is the righteous god of heaven, and Protector Jialan is the Vajra of Buddhism. Together, they keep some monks from dying, and they just suffer here?" Fahai even had doubts in his heart, and asked: "Why not let them reincarnate early?" Reincarnated?"
"You may not believe it if I tell you." The Great Sage lowered his head and said, "They said that Taibai Jinxing persuaded them in their dreams and taught them not to seek death.
, and wait for the Arhat, the holy monk of the Tang Dynasty in the East, who went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, to come here, that is the day they will be rescued. Isn't this Arhat you, Master? "
The Great Sage continued: "They also said that you have a disciple who is the Great Sage Qitian. He has great supernatural powers and a loyal heart. He avenges injustices in the world, helps the poor and those in need, and shows compassion for the lonely and the widowed. Just wait. He came to show his magical power, destroyed the Taoist priests, and also respected the Zen teachings of Samana." The great sage pointed at himself and said, "Isn't he his disciple?"
"How do you speak?"
"Disciple feels that there is fraud in it." Wukong thought for a while and said: "The old man from Taibai Jinxing is acquaintance of disciples. If we talk about it, he is a Taoist figure. What he said in the previous episode was not bad, but the last two Juju said that he would wait for his disciples to show their magical powers and destroy the Taoist priests, but he still respects the Zen teachings of Samanas. This is not what he said. Besides, with the master here, how can it be the disciples' turn to make the decision?"
"So I looked at it with Dharma eyes and saw that these five hundred monks were entangled with a lot of karma. I went up to the sky to find the Taibai Venus to ask the reason, but he said that he only respected the Jade Emperor's order and sent them Liu Ding Liu Jia protected five hundred monks from death, but he has never said such words in a dream." The great sage looked at the master and said: "Master, this thing is weird, I am afraid there is some conspiracy, and the disciple is doing this God, I got some news."
"what news?"
"The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother came down to earth for a private visit in disguise. Now the person sitting in the Lingxiao Palace is the Ziwei Emperor."
Mr. Ziyu did not comment on this, pretending that he had not heard about these gods and Buddhas, but didn't the Jade Emperor just visit the Fire Cloud Cave some time ago?
Now that I think about it, it seems that the Jade Emperor was wearing ordinary clothes at that time and came alone, without even Luan Jia accompanying him.
Wu Jing suddenly said: "Master, did the Jade Emperor also violate the rules of heaven when he went to the mortal world privately? If I tell Zhenjun Erlang about this, will he take over the post of judicial god and go after the Jade Emperor?" "
The great sage's eyes lit up and he said: "Master, please ask me, old grandson, to go to the mouth of the Guanjiang River."
Although Fahai said nothing, he subconsciously looked at the ranger at the side. Because he knew that the identity of the ranger Zhang Ren was not simple, but he could never guess it. Now that Wukong said that the Jade Emperor came down to earth for a private visit, how could it not make him suspicious?
