The bursts of thunder were extremely loud, frightening the sinful monk locked in the prison to the point where he left his body for fear of suffering divine punishment.
The whole country of Chechi was covered in gray. Suddenly the dragon gave orders and rain filled the sky. As the saying goes, the dragon was ordered to send down the rain, and suddenly the land was covered with waves.
The good rain lasted for three hours, so late that the car arrived, and the streets were flooded with water inside and outside.
Seeing that the rain was not stopping, the people shouted: "It's rained enough! It's rained enough! If it rains more than ten minutes, it will destroy the seedlings, which is not beautiful."
However, they saw that the emperor had already sent someone to pass the order, and the Wufeng downstairs officer rode his horse to the altar in the rain and reported: "Master, the rain is enough!"
Bang!
There was another thundering sound, this one was the loudest, even louder than the real thunder from Lei Gong.
They were also afraid that the Lord of Thunder and the Dragon King would not hear clearly and could not tell the difference.
After this sound, the wind stopped first, then the thunder and lightning, and gradually the clouds opened and the mist dispersed with the drizzle of light rain.
When the Great Sage saw that Deng Tianjun of the Thunder Department, the Duke of Thunder and the Mother of Lightning, and the Dragon King of the Four Seas were all there, he said to the Master: "Master, I, the old grandson, have gone up to see my friends. Come back as soon as you go."
After saying that, in full view of everyone, he flew into the clouds and said, "Old Deng, Old Dragon King, stay here for a moment, I, the old grandson, are here!"
When Xiao Bailong saw him, he said: "Master, since my father is here, I should pay my respects to him."
"Go quickly, don't be lazy."
The little white dragon also flew up.
The Great Sage saw them hiding in the clouds, fearing that mortals would see their figures, but the Great Sage said: "The clouds and mist have been lifted, and you have brought down the sweet rain to help all the people. This is an act of merit, so why are you afraid that people will see them?" Already?"
All the gods laughed and scolded Monkey together after hearing this. It was obvious that he wanted to show his kindness and ability, but he used such words to throw such words at them.
After saying this, they lost their disguise and truly appeared in front of the people of Chechi Kingdom, attracting all the people to kneel down and worship.
They looked at each other, but ignored the great sage who came to them to reminisce. They only raised their hands to Master Tripitaka below and said, "Thank you, Master Tripitaka, for accepting the great sage as his disciple, for carefully restraining and teaching, and for removing one thing from the Three Realms." This is a great disaster, but the Master’s merits are immeasurable.”
These words made the great sage very angry. He took out his golden cudgel and pointed it at them and said, "Hey! Are you trying to bully me, Old Sun, that the stick is not heavy enough? Look at the beating!"
"Haha - the monkey is acting up again, I'll wait for it!" Deng Tianjun returned to the heaven with a roll of auspicious clouds and led the God of Thunder. He didn't want to entangle with the great sage, just talk about taking advantage. If he really wanted to fight, he would just rely on They are no match.
It's rare to see the great sage being deflated, which is a great source of conversation.
The great sage descended from the clouds and said deliberately: "Master, relying on your authority, they are teasing me like this, waiting for me to succeed in studying the scriptures, and then demolishing his Lei Mansion."
The three national masters and the king saw it, and they couldn't help but feel envious. Although they had the method of praying for rain, the most powerful thing was the Five Thunder Method created by the old man himself. Although it could bring rain to these true gods and dragon kings, it was hard to say that it was even better. talk.
Maybe they don't want to see them at all.
After all, they can rest comfortably. Normal rainfall in the Three Realms has its own rules and regulations, so why are they needed?
However, Laojun’s Five Thunder Techniques do not allow them to be the masters of the hands. That is to say, there are very few people who know how to pray for rain with this method. Otherwise, if several places pray for rain at the same time, how can they have a rest and move around? time?
Master Tripitaka and his disciples are still capable. The chatter between the great sage and the gods of the Lei tribe in the previous episode, as well as the gods saluting Master Tripitaka, all showed that their identities were different.
After a while, Xiao Bailong, who had met his father and three uncles, also returned.
The Dragon King of the West Sea even stepped onto earth in person, bowed to Master Tripitaka, and said, "Young man, I worship under the disciple of the holy monk. I have troubled the holy monk all the way."
"Ao Lie has extraordinary qualifications, excellent conduct, and a rare compassionate heart. Even without the guidance of a poor monk, he will become a great person in the future." Fahai said with a smile: "It is a blessing for the Dragon King to have a son."
Listening to Master Sanzang praising his son, the Dragon King of the West Sea couldn't hide the smile on his face, which showed that he was also proud from the bottom of his heart.
"I haven't thanked the holy monk for his advice to my nephew." The Dragon King of the West Sea bowed to Master Tripitaka again, this time for the little dragon in the Blackwater River. "He is reckless by nature. If it weren't for the magician's mediation, I was afraid that I had violated the laws of heaven and would inevitably be imprisoned. But now I have saved my life and got a good marriage, all thanks to the guidance of the holy monk. Xiao Wang is very grateful."
"Amitabha." Fa Hai recited the Buddha's name and said, "Dragon King, don't blame the poor monk for randomly reading the mandarin duck book, the poor monk would be happy!"
"Zhao Jie sent a message, saying that the day when the holy monk obtained the scriptures and returned to pass by the Heishui River would be the day of his wedding. At that time, he would also treat the holy monk to a glass of wedding wine. The holy monk must not refuse, because the holy monk does not drink alcohol. You can always drink a cup of tea."
"Hahahaha, I invited the poor monk to be the matchmaker, and the poor monk will definitely be there when the time comes."
There was another conversation between the two sides, and finally the Dragon King of the West Sea raised his hands to Master Tripitaka and said: "The little king wishes the holy monk a smooth journey and that he can obtain the scriptures as soon as possible. If there is any mission, just ask the great sage to do somersaults to the four seas and give instructions, and the little king will definitely come." "
After saying that, he stood up, stood with the three brothers, raised their hands to Master Tripitaka and said, "We take our leave."
After saying that, he saw auspicious clouds covering him and scattering in all directions.
What does it mean to gain knowledge?
Master Tripitaka was really a great monk, and even the gods and dragon kings treated him with courtesy. As the king of the kingdom, and the three masters of the kingdom, they didn't even say a word, they didn't even look at them.
"The Holy Monk has great skills." The king is now convinced of Master Tripitaka. Even though the three previous masters have been praising him for a long time, it is still not as good as the bows made by the gods of the Lei tribe and the Dragon King of the Four Seas.
The monkey was jumping up and down, saying that he made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago and wasn't he surrendered by this holy monk?
No wonder the king of Tang wanted to swore sworn sworn vows to him, and no wonder the two heads of Baoxiang and Wuji were unwilling to let him go. If he could get help from such eminent monks, why worry about the country not being prosperous?
Even small temples such as theirs may not be able to accommodate such "true Buddhas" who go to Lingshan. It is precisely this kind of eminent monks who dare to punish a group of sinful monks according to the national law.
Thinking of this, the king suddenly lost interest and stood up and said: "I am tired, so I will help the two national teachers to accompany the holy monk on my behalf."
Immediately the faces of Immortal Hu Li and Immortal Lu Li showed joy and they said in their hearts: You common people should have left long ago.
The queen was very reluctant to leave, but she saw that the king was depressed, so she left with him. On the way, she asked, "Why did your majesty suddenly lose his temper?"
"Ah," the king sighed and said, "Looking at this kind of person one more time will make your heart hurt even more. It's better not to look at it, so that your eyes can be quieter."
"Your Majesty is so greedy." The queen smiled and said, "In the past, the state affairs were presided over by the old master, and the three masters prayed for blessings when the weather was good. Your Majesty was just a hands-off shopkeeper, and he already enjoyed all the glory. However, this holy monk of the Tang Dynasty, I’m afraid they still look down on a small, barbaric country like ours.”
"Hehehehe." The king laughed for a while: "It turns out that the queen sees everything."
"Your Majesty, do you still want to pretend to be ignorant?"
"Let's pretend for now." The king hummed a tune in his mouth and said, "I don't have a few easy days, so take advantage of these few days to enjoy yourself."
Three Pure Views.
After the king left, it was naturally the three national masters who acted as hosts. When Master Luli heard that Master Sanzang was going to Sanqing Monastery as a guest, he left the old master and left a few disciples to monitor him, and hurriedly Return to Sanqing Temple.
The world is vast, and discussing the Tao with Master Tripitaka is the most important at this time.
This Sanqing Temple has been under construction for twenty years and is still being repaired. Firstly, the three national masters urged it not to be in a hurry. Secondly, the craftsmen get their wages according to heaven. Thirdly, slow work yields meticulous work.
However, it can also be seen that it is a high hall in the spiritual area, the true hall of blessed land. On both sides, Taoist priests play the sheng reed, and in the front, Gao Gong holds up jade slips.
Before Fahai and several disciples entered the temple, they saw clearly that there was a couplet woven in yellow silk hanging in front of the temple door, embroidered with twenty-two large characters, which read: "The rain is favorable and the wind is gentle, I wish the heavenly Lord immeasurable law; the river is clear and the sea is clear." Yan, I pray for long life."
Everyone said that it was normal for Taoist temples to have couplets hung upright in front of their doors, just like Wuzhuang Temple, which was the only one with no other branches.
After entering, I saw seven or eight people
Hundreds of scattered people, playing drums and bells, serving incense and expressing their love, all stood on both sides.
Above the main hall, the statues of the Three Pure Ones, Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Daojun are naturally offered as offerings.
Although Fahai is a Buddhist figure, he always has respect for the ancestors of other schools. When he saw the statue of Sanqing, he also offered incense. All the disciples followed the master in a dignified manner.
When the three national masters saw Master Tripitaka acting like this, they were even more amazed. How could he not be a living eminent monk with such a big heart? Anyway, asking them to offer incense to the Buddha would never be possible.
"please!"
The three national masters invited Master Tripitaka to take a seat, and then said to the Great Sage and others: "The three poor Taoists would like to discuss Taoism with Master Tripitaka. Elders, if you want to listen or participate, just take your seats. If you are impatient with the scriptures, just sit down. Call a few disciples and wander around the temple at will. Although the Three Purities Temple is large, there is nothing taboo about it."
Bajie got up first and said, "Do you have any snacks? The old pig has been hungry for a long time."
He didn't pretend either. He was hungry when he was hungry. The imperial examination promised by the master was ruined. Now they were going to discuss Taoism in the Sanqing Temple. He didn't know how long it would take. He couldn't bear it.
"There are enough kinds of fruit snacks, all made by the imperial chef."
Oh, didn't Master coax me?
Should this be the place?
Bajie followed a young Taoist priest to the side hall.
Xiao Bailong was not interested in the Taoist scriptures. After informing his master, he asked about the martial arts field in Sanqing Temple and went to practice shooting.
The Great Sage sat on the side of the master and listened, wanting to see what the three masters' attainments in Taoism were.
Wu Jing did not reject anyone who came, and what he learned became more and more complex. That is to say, his nine minds were integrated, and he was able to take into account all aspects of learning and become proficient in all aspects. This ability was enviable even by the great sage.
At the beginning of the discussion, the three national teachers did not learn much. Only one reading of the "Huangting Tao Zhen Jing" was profound and profound, which was enough for them to practice for a lifetime.
The great sage also knew about this scripture and learned it more deeply than the three of them. From the beginning of the discussion, it was the great sage who responded to it, and then it became the unilateral guidance of the great sage to the three of them.
Immortal Huli felt frustrated, but the person in front of him was the famous Monkey King after all. However, he did not expect that he was not only a stick player, but also had such a profound understanding of the Taoist scriptures.
Immortal Lu Li sighed: No wonder the Immortal Zhenyuan of Wuzhuang Temple praised him. He is so famous that he has no false reputation. He should seize this opportunity to ask for advice.
It's over.
Immortal Yangli showed a sad look on his face: "My brothers are three, but they are not as good as one monk in understanding the Huangting Sutra. How can we live in this world and serve the Three Pure Ones?"
Master, this disciple is unfilial——
