I'm afraid no one in the Three Realms can tell what kind of monk Master Tripitaka is.
Even Guanyin Bodhisattva and Tathagata Buddha must not be at peace in their hearts when they see Master Tripitaka today.
But Fahai himself knew very well that he was an ordinary monk in the human world.
First, born in the human world;
Secondly, he is a mortal;
Finally, he is a monk.
If Fahai introduced himself like this, no one would believe him.
Just like the king in front of him at this moment, if he heard this, he would definitely sneer at it. It's a joke... A mortal monk dares to go to Lingshan to question the Buddha?
He would never dare to accept what Master Tripitaka said.
Even he, a non-Buddhist, felt trembling in his heart after hearing these words. But when eminent monks like Master Tripitaka said this, it was as if they were just chatting... This is probably not a profound Buddhist teaching. Problem.
The king did not dwell on this issue, but turned to Master Tripitaka for advice on Confucianism. Fahai had no selfish intentions, but if he had questions, he would never hide them if he knew them.
There are not a few sage kings in the Western Continent. Perhaps it was because of Tripitaka's journey to the west and the vigorous spread of Buddhism to the east that these wise kings appeared in the same era at the same time.
Fa Hai discussed scriptures with the leader of the country who destroyed France until late at night. The leader looked like he still had something to say... It was hard to imagine that a monk could be so proficient in Confucian classics and yet still have his own unique insights...
Even though the "Shenzi" in his hand is a Taoist and Legalist book, but he knew that he was asking about the obscure points in it, Master Tripitaka was able to hit the nail on the head and make himself enlightened.
"If you don't abandon Master, I would like to worship Master as the Grand Tutor of the country and respect you as the Imperial Master."
After wanting to become sworn brothers with Master Sanzang, marry a consort, and get married, a new option emerged for the Xizhou kings, to become the emperor's master...
The leader who destroyed France was very sincere, and immediately wanted to see his teacher as a disciple...but he was blocked by Fahai. "There are very few poor monks who have the knowledge to govern the country, but I know a true Confucian scholar." , may be recommended.”
"who?"
"This great talent taught and educated people in the Jisai Kingdom more than three years ago. His surname is Si, Zeng, and he is called Mr. Ziyu."
Back then, the leader of the Jisai Kingdom gave him "three and a half miles" as a gift. Mr. Ziyu said that this was the fate between him and the leader of the country. According to rough calculation, the time limit has expired...
The character Fa Hai has been recommended, and the great talent is indeed worthy of his reputation. As for whether the king can invite him, that is his ability.
Perhaps it would be difficult for him to serve as an official in France, but if he was invited to preach and gain vocation, Fahai believed that Mr. Ziyu would probably come for a visit. He came to the world to spread Confucian culture to the Western Continent...
The West is booming.
Even when the Jade Emperor was a guest in Huoyun Cave, he said something like this, "The great prosperity of the West is not just the great prosperity of Buddhism. Confucianism is a prominent school in China. If it cannot take root in the West and spread the word, the West will not be considered a great prosperity."
The leader of the Miefa Kingdom kept this in mind, but he still bowed sincerely to Master Tripitaka and said: "I can't repay the kindness of Master Sanzang's guidance... I should build the only Buddhist temple in the country so that people can pray and worship, and the incense will continue."
"Amitabha." Fahai once again refused to destroy the French king's good intention, saying: "The poor monk walks in the three realms, does not seek incense, and does not want to be tied up in a high palace with a golden statue... If your Majesty really takes the poor monk's words to heart , why not prepare a dinner table... To be honest, there is a big-bellied guest in the disciple of the poor monk. Normally, he just says that he doesn't have enough food... Only when passing by the capital of a country and being entertained by a state banquet, can he eat to his heart's content .”
"In that case...come here!" the king called out, "quickly go and invite some of Master Tripitaka's disciples to come into the palace. In addition, send the imperial dining room to the imperial dining room and prepare a complete vegetarian meal for a banquet in the imperial garden."
"yes!"
...
During this trip, Fahai did not take the initiative to mention the Buddhist temple and the four famous monks.
But starting from the second day, all states and counties in the country have successively received the decree to revoke the ban on Buddhism and the order to kill monks.
On the way, the master and his disciples asked the master what method he used to make the country leader change his mind. Fahai said: "He did not destroy the Buddha just to destroy the Buddha. Since the master has pointed out to him a way to enrich the country and strengthen the people, It's a prosperous road, and he is a promising king, so he naturally knows the importance."
“Isn’t it said that the king’s words are true and his orders cannot be changed?”
"Hehehehe." Fahai smiled, "Firstly, Yiyan Jiuding is the human king of the Central Plains China; secondly, once the order is issued, it cannot be changed easily... But this order cannot be just based on appearances... .Otherwise, you will be clinging to the king’s pressure, which is a recipe for disaster, and you will not be a wise king.”
And there are some words that Fa Hai did not explain... Under every order, there will be vested interests; and whenever the order is changed, the interests of these people will inevitably be affected...
Maybe when the king changes his order, it will affect the daily life of the people...but the words of the people can easily not reach the king.
In most cases, the conduct of the courtiers in the main hall cannot be expected... Therefore, it does not seem so difficult to distinguish who is at odds between reforming and not reforming.
A cowardly monarch will naturally encounter various obstacles.
But the sage emperor can coordinate the overall situation and lead the superior and subordinates.
The twists and turns between the monarch and his subjects are no longer something that their masters and disciples should worry about at this moment. As for Mie France, which has been renamed Qin France, what the government decrees will be from now on will also depend on whether their monarchs and ministers are in unison.
Bajie held his belly and said: "No matter what, the king is really generous. He let me entertain me last night...I still haven't digested it until today."
The Great Sage immediately smiled and said: "Since your belly is bloated, why not stretch your muscles and bones and go look for the little white dragon and see where he has gone?"
"No... no go, no go -" Bajie waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Little White Dragon can find it by himself if he gets lost. If I get lost and can't find him, I'm afraid you'll leave him alone... .”
The Great Sage went up and pinched his ears, and said with a smile: "You idiot, stop talking nonsense... Go, go!" The Great Sage pinched Bajie's ears, pulled him to him, and then gently Kicked him out.
He also said: "If you get lost, let the little white dragon go find you."
Bajie:...
If that's the case, why should I go looking for him?
But he still carried the blame and the rake, and moved forward first.
Kirigakure Mountain.
There is singing in the mountain. This mountain is on the border of France. The little white dragon who originally searched for monsters in France did not find any powerful monsters in the hinterland of the country. However, I heard some little monsters say that there is a Nanshan King here, who is very luxurious and sheltered. .
It is said that the King of Nanshan is a leopard spirit. Although he has a bad temper, he is very loyal.
If there are little monsters around who can't survive, he will take them under his command without saying a word. He has a good reputation in the circle of monsters who destroyed France for a generation.
Even the little white dragon who followed his master all the way west rarely saw such monsters, so he came along the road and wanted to take a look.
The Kirigakure Mountains on the left and right are on the only way to the west, so it is his duty to come over first to explore the mountains.
I just didn't expect that when I entered the mountain just now, I heard the singing, which was melodious and refreshing. The little white dragon turned into a little white snake and was attracted by the singing. When I got closer to take a look, I saw a man and a woman. I thought to myself: You two are really brave, you dare to make such a big noise in this mountain.
Although you are just collecting firewood on the mountainside, if a demon is really attracted, how can you two handle it?
Being careful will cost you your life.
In fact, this is also true. In this foggy mountain, Xiao Bailong is not the only one attracted by the singing.
In the Zheyue Chain Cave in Wuyin Mountain, the King of Nanshan was taking a nap on his throne. His ears moved... He slowly opened his eyes. The King of Nanshan, who had been leaning on the throne, gradually straightened up and his eyes subconsciously followed the singing. direction exploration.
The King of Nanshan was a little curious as to what kind of woman could sing such a sweet song.
He swept up the demonic wind and left the cave, flying directly in the direction of the singing.
call--
Just when Xiao Bailong was about to leave, a yellow wind appeared and wanted to sweep up the couple.
"ah--"
The young couple immediately shouted, but before they could call for help, they saw a big demon rolling toward them with its cloak behind its back.
Stab——
But just as he was being captured, a cold light suddenly appeared, and the yellow cloak was immediately cut off at the waist.
Little Bailong held a cold spear in front of the young couple. He didn't say anything, but looked coldly at the monster in front of him.
He was also caught off guard, and the King of Nanshan’s heart was entirely focused on the singing woman. How could he realize that there was actually a little white dragon hiding here? Moreover, Xiao Bailong's hiding skills are also top-notch, and not all monsters can detect him in advance.
If this Nanshan King hadn't been transformed from a leopard into a spirit and was born with quick reactions, the shot just now would have left a hole in his body.
The King of Nanshan summoned the weapon, looked at the little white dragon up and down for a long time, and suddenly said: "Where did you come from, young general, how dare you interfere in my king's business in Wuyin Mountain?"
It turns out you are the King of Nanshan.
Xiao Bailong thought for a moment, and instantly made up his mind, he said, "I am General White Snake, under the command of Lady Qijueling Red Scale."
At this moment, Xiao Bailong changed into a snake demon and pulled out the Red Scale Lady of Qijueling again.
Eight Hundred Miles and Seven Jue Mountains... The King of Nanshan thought about it for a while, and he also had some confidence in his heart.
If it were the demons coming out of the other eight hundred miles of mountains, the King of Nanshan would be terrified, but Qijue Ridge was different. That place was so smelly that except for Madam Red Scales and the snake spirit under her command, there was no one who could see them. There are no powerful monsters.
Some time ago, news seemed to have spread, saying that all the snake monsters in Qijue Ridge had been saved by Tang Seng and his disciples... Unexpectedly, there was another "fish that slipped through the net" in front of him.
"It turns out to be Brother White Snake." Although the King of Nanshan was a little grumpy, he was not unable to restrain himself... When he saw the scene in front of him, he also said that he had robbed someone else's prey, so he said: "Brother White Snake, these two King Renben only takes the woman, and this human man... will be dealt with by Brother White Snake... You and I can make friends with this, I am heading to the cave, why don't you go into the cave to talk about it?"
Xiao Bailong thought for a while and said: "No need, I have something important to do here, so I won't bother you."
King Nanshan squinted his eyes and asked, "I wonder what is going on?"
General White Snake did not hide anything, and directly stated his intention to the King of Nanshan, "I am here to avenge my wife. I found out that Tang Monk and his disciples are about to arrive at Wuyin Mountain. This place is the only way for his master and disciples to go west. ...So we ambush here.”
"Tang Monk?"
The King of Nanshan straightened his face and took a step forward. He didn't even look at the woman and asked General White Snake, "But that Tang Sanzang who went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures?"
"That's him."
"I heard that he has profound Buddhist teachings and powerful magical powers...how do you seek revenge against him?"
"Madam has been kind to me. When Tang Monk passed Qijueling, I happened to be far away from home. When I came back, I didn't even see madam for the last time... Although my ability is low, I still dare to risk my life. Yibo.”
"Good man!" King Nanshan immediately praised, "I want to help you! Brother, come to my cave. You alone are no match for the five masters and disciples of Monk Tang, but if we two join forces... the chances of winning are extremely high. big!"
Xiao Bailong thought carefully for a while and then said: "Okay."
...
Bajie was not lost.
We even found a house ahead, but there was an old woman at the door, looking endlessly into the mountains.
Bajie saw this and sneered: "Monster, you actually changed like this to play tricks on your grandpa pig!"
He originally wanted to go up and beat the account to death with a rake, but then he thought about it and felt that something was not right, so he hurried back to the master, explained what was ahead, and then approached the great sage again and shook his head. He shook his finger and said, "Brother Monkey, do you think that old woman is a goblin?"
The Great Sage glanced at him and asked curiously: "Why do you say this person is a monster?"
"Hehehe." Level 8 smiled proudly, "Although I, old pig, don't have Master's discerning eyes, nor do you have your fiery eyes, Brother Monkey... Naturally, the real body of the goblin cannot be seen with the naked eye. But I have traveled more than a hundred thousand miles, and I can't see it either. Walking away in vain.”
The Great Sage smiled and said nothing, watching Bajie show off quietly.
When Bajie saw that the Great Sage was silent, he thought he was right and began to analyze: "There is just such a family in this barren mountain... This is not the first time we have seen such a trick... Hey young! "
As he spoke, Bajie suddenly screamed, slapped his thigh, and hurriedly said to the master: "Master, she may be a Bodhisattva or an immortal pretending to be a god."
This also reminded Bajie of the old mother Lishan's changed hut in Huangfengling, waiting for them to knock on the door and come in to treat "Monkey Brother"'s eyes.
Those who can build a house in the mountains and fields are naturally not all traps transformed by fairies.
"Whether you are a demon or a Bodhisattva, you should go and have a look... Bajie, lead the way."
The master and his disciples followed Bajie forward, but Xiao Bailong sensed that the master and his group were approaching Wuyin Mountain, and had been waiting aside... Seeing the second senior brother leading the way, he stepped forward to meet them.
"Master." Xiao Bailong said to the master and the senior brothers: "There is a mountain in front of you, called Yinwu Mountain. There is a cave in the mountain, which is the Zheyue Chain Cave... There is a mountain king in the cave, called the Nanshan King. "
After hearing this, Bajie said: "I saw that the mountain peak stood upright, and it looked a bit sinister in the distance... It turned out that there really was a goblin... Junior brother, but that old woman in the solitary room?"
