"What's this?" Bajie snorted twice, "Although they are using the Buddha's name to control the heaven and earth, even if they collect a thousand years of offerings, they are still blessing a party after all... Who are they offering the offerings to? Offering? Since they can make rain, they guarantee good weather all year... Even the Buddha doesn't care, and the local people are also happy with it. Master... I think if we get involved in this matter, I'm afraid... I'm afraid... .Not only will it not be a good place, but it may also cause trouble."
"Idiot, stop talking nonsense!" The Great Sage glared at Bajie, and then said: "This is actually the responsibility of heaven. And you only see these fairies blessing this place with good weather, but you don't know that I have asked the local old man. ..They said that there was one year when the amount of sesame oil was not enough, and the Buddha was angry... Therefore, there was a very dry year, and no rain fell. If it were not for the previous harvest, which was quite abundant, and the surrounding government and the court sent food aid...otherwise It’s a disaster.”
"It doesn't matter if they just collected the sesame oil and then went to rain...but it shouldn't disturb the weather because of the lack of sesame oil." The great sage said coldly: "But I don't believe that the Jinping Mansion should have rain that year. If it doesn’t fall, there will be no harvest.”
"This kind of thing doesn't happen once or twice." Wu Jing also visited the countryside. When he heard the elder brother talking about this matter, he followed up and said: "But master, this disciple still has concerns... After all, this is Jinping Mansion has worshiped the 'Buddha' for nearly a thousand years. If we really take action against them, will it affect the people of Jinping Mansion?"
Xiao Bailong said aside: "Senior Brother, are you worried that letting this 'Buddha' reveal his true form will cause the rain in Jinping Mansion to become unbalanced?"
"Yes." Wu Jing nodded and said: "We have to take precautions against this matter. It is easiest to subdue demons. But if we can subdue them like this... Is it good for the people of Jinping Mansion? Bad, actually it’s still up for debate.”
What Wu Jing said makes sense.
The Lingshan Mountain of Jinping Prefecture doesn't care, and the Heavenly Court doesn't care. If they take it for granted and subdue the three rhinoceros spirits, will anyone come to care about it in the rainy weather in the future?
They act as masters and disciples and always leave no mess behind. This matter... needs to be considered in the long term.
The brothers all had their own thoughts, but when the great sage saw that the master was still silent, he jumped to the master and asked for advice: "Master... If you make offerings to the gods and Buddhas, you can get the blessings of the gods and Buddhas... But if people don’t make offerings to the gods and Buddhas, or if the tributes are insufficient, then should the gods and Buddhas pay retribution to people?”
"If there is such a god and Buddha, I will definitely come to ask for advice in person." Fahai stood upright and did not hide his thoughts in front of several disciples. "As a teacher, the reason why people give to gods and Buddhas is the same. The reason for making offerings is because the gods and Buddhas have helped people, so people make offerings in return... If people make offerings to the gods and Buddhas, they will protect the human race, then they are not gods and Buddhas... they are demons."
"Monster." The Great Sage suddenly realized, with a serious expression: "Since they are demons... why do you junior brothers have to worry so much? They will be saved when they need to be saved, and they will be transformed when they need to be transformed... Besides, these three rhinoceros spirits are originally demons. Using the name of Buddha to collect offerings and raining rain secretly in Jinping Mansion is also a violation of heavenly laws... Since you have made a mistake, you must be punished."
"As for the rain they made here in the past... it was not an act of merit on their part, but they wanted to receive 1,500 kilograms of sesame oil every year as a reward... This is an exchange of benefits." The Great Sage looked at the master. , said: "Master, since this matter concerns Tian Tiao... I'm afraid we have to ask Zhenjun Erlang to come forward."
"Amitabha." Fahai recited a Dharma chant, thinking that Wukong's words were reasonable. "You and I may be able to punish them for using the Buddha's name, but if they are guilty and judge the law...it must be the God of Justice."
...
Guanjiangkou, Yang Mansion.
Yang Jian listened to the bursts of dragon roars coming from the room. Yang Jian, who never changed his expression when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, could clearly see the anxiety and nervousness on his face at this moment.
Master Yuding finally came back successfully. This descendant of Yuxu, who was knowledgeable and experienced all the schools in the three realms, was not doing much better at the moment. He was following Yang Jian in circles in the yard.
"Second brother, uncle...you don't have to be so anxious." Nezha was so dizzy from being surrounded by the two of them that he finally couldn't help but stretched out his hand to hold them down and said: "Third Holy Mother, Fox Sister are still here." The four princesses of the East China Sea and the Dragon Mother of the West Sea are all in the room... In addition, there are also two medical fairies, Yi Concubine and Bao Gu, specially sent to earth by the Jade Emperor... Just wait for the good news that mother and child are safe."
Li Zhenying, who was brought to the side by the Third Holy Mother, was already a bit taller than Nezha because of her cultivation...but she was still younger, but at this moment she also spoke to comfort Yang Jian: "Second sister-in-law is auspicious and heavenly. It will be fine..."
Although she worshiped the Third Holy Mother as her teacher, she still called Yang Jian the second brother together with her third brother Nezha.
Brothers Xiao Tian Quan and Mei Shan, as well as the eighth princess who led the two medical fairies down to earth, also tried to persuade him.
This eighth princess of the Heavenly Court has no priesthood in the Heavenly Court and is considered a loose immortal... Holding the special order from the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, she can also travel between heaven and earth. However, whenever she has time, she comes to Guanjiang Estuary because she worships Erlang too much. Cousin, so he wanted to find a position in the Temple of the True Lord.
Unfortunately, neither the Jade Emperor nor the Queen Mother, nor Erlang's cousin, had any intention of letting go. There was still a long way to go... The Eighth Princess said she would not give up.
Of course she didn't know the original intention of setting up the True Lord Temple, so she had no way of knowing that the three people who could make the decision on this matter would never agree to involve her in this whirlpool.
Behind the crowd, the fifth brother from Wanku Mountain was holding a half-grown girl in his arms. He seemed to want to step forward and say something, but it was his turn to interrupt.
He was able to come with him because Hu Mei received a message from Cun Xin, saying that the birth date was within these days and that he wanted to invite Hu Mei, an experienced sister, to accompany him. The family of three was invited to Guanjiangkou.
If the fifth brother's original greedy and evil character had been followed, Sister Fox would definitely not have let him come with him. However, Master Tripitaka was so kind and merciful that he used the Dharma to lead him to the right path. That's why they and their family of three are where they are today.
In this Yang Mansion, there is actually a memory that belongs to them. Now that they are revisiting their old place, Fifth Brother is also very emotional... Although everyone was inevitably a little unhappy when they first saw him, and even showed disgust... . But that was all his own fault. Now that he has received the guidance of Master Tripitaka, Fifth Brother has already repented and made a new start. When he entered the mansion, he sincerely apologized to everyone.
What made him feel a bit funny was that his sincere apology was not worth a word from his daughter——
At that time, the half-grown little girl was in the arms of Sister Fox and said loudly: "Even the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother have to call my father Fifth Brother!"
The grudges of the past disappeared with this girl's joke.
The fifth brother suddenly shuddered and secretly apologized to the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother in his heart, "Your Majesty, empress, this is not my fault. The little fox has had this name since he was born..."
At this moment, seeing that everyone was trying to persuade others, he had no choice but to keep silent. Finally, when he saw an opening, he followed suit and said, "True Lord, the third princess is the True Dragon of the West Sea, with a strong body..."
Wow--
Before Fifth Brother finished speaking, a loud cry soared into the sky.
Yang Jian stepped forward and met the Third Holy Mother opening the door——
"gave birth!"
"Second brother, mother and son are safe. He is a young master."
But the Third Holy Mother saw that the second brother seemed to be stunned for a moment when he heard that a son was born. Although he was smiling... he seemed a little... not satisfied?
Yes, the second brother once said to himself that he hoped that his sister-in-law could give birth to a daughter.
The Third Holy Mother shook her head helplessly. The second brother had already passed her and rushed into the room. Without even taking a second look at the son in the arms of the Dragon Mother of Xihai, he had already reached Cun Xin's side and looked slightly pale. , but Cun Xin's breath was still very strong, Yang Jian was relieved, stretched out his hand to hold her hand tightly, and said: "Madam, I'm tired."
"Second Master." Cun Xin saw that Yang Jian stayed by her side immediately, but abandoned his son... For a moment, he didn't know whether to be angry or moved, "Where is my son?"
"Don't worry, it's at my mother-in-law's place."
"Let me see."
The mother of dragons took her son over and placed her next to Cun Xin... At this moment, the boy had stopped crying and was looking at the world curiously with his dark eyes wide open.
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations!"
The sounds of congratulations in the Yang Mansion never stopped.
...
Heaven.
The Jade Emperor couldn't hide the raised corners of his mouth. He took out the fine wine he had collected, turned around in an instant, and disappeared into Miluo Palace and appeared in the Realm of Desire.
In the Haotian Tower.
Yao Ji, Yang Tianyou and Yang Jiao, a family of three, are temporarily reunited. Although Yao Ji's spirit has awakened, it has not fully recovered after all and has to be recuperated in the tower. Her husband and eldest son have been here since they arrived. , and he has been protecting the law for her, never slacking off for a moment.
But now they saw the Jade Emperor coming to the door with two jars of wine, and there was something strange in their eyes.
The Jade Emperor ignored them, filled himself a cup first, and then drank it down happily.
Yao Ji said: "Brother, why do you need to be mysterious?"
The Jade Emperor looked at Yang Tianyou.
Yang Tianyou was reading "Gongyang Chunqiu" that he had rewritten.
The Jade Emperor looked at Yang Jiao again.
"Uncle, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." Although Yang Jiao called him uncle, his tone was not very good.
The Jade Emperor didn't care, and just said to them: "I have a news here... I will only tell you two, but if you want to listen, you must agree to me first. After you know it..." the Jade Emperor pointed Referring to Yang Tianyou, "You can't tell him."
Yang Jiao immediately gritted his teeth and was unwilling to make a deal with the Jade Emperor.
Yao Ji, who had reconciled with the Jade Emperor, gradually frowned when she saw her brother playing with her like this. Just when she was about to reject this clumsy plan, she heard the Jade Emperor say: "It's about Erlang."
"Okay!" Mother and mother agreed immediately in unison.
Yang Tianyou:...
"Haha." The Jade Emperor laughed again, seeming to say: The three of us have the same blood.
Then he sent a message to Yao Ji and Yang Jiao.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Tianyou saw Yao Ji suddenly excited and burst into tears... He was about to have a fit, but found that Yao Ji was crying with a smile, so she cried with joy.
Dalang punched a huge hole at the bottom of the tower, and he was obviously very excited, beyond words.
What on earth happened?
Yao Ji and Yang Jiao wanted to break the contract and tell Yang Tianyou... but found that once they wanted to tell Yang Tianyou about this matter, there would be a power from the Emperor of Heaven to ban their language.
Yao Ji immediately couldn't laugh or cry, and said to the Jade Emperor: "Brother... why is this necessary? You actually used the authority of the Emperor of Heaven to make a contract?"
Yang Jiao hesitated for a while, gesturing at his father, but Yang Tianyou got nothing.
"Yao Ji." The Jade Emperor filled a glass of wine for Yao Ji and said: "You are smart and strong as a mother... but you still have this stubborn character, just like you back then... .”
Yao Ji was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't understand why the Jade Emperor suddenly said this.
Yang Tianyou on the side suddenly said: "Eldest Princess, tell others what the Jade Emperor told you."
Yao Ji showed some hesitation, and then tentatively said to Yang Jiao: "Dalang, your second brother is pregnant..."
Huh!
Sure enough, it’s okay!
Yao Ji said to the Jade Emperor again: "Brother, Erlang is pregnant!"
Yang Jiao also followed suit and said to the Jade Emperor: "Uncle, Erlang gave birth to a big fat boy!"
Then he said to his mother Yao Ji: "Mom, you are going to be a grandma, and I am going to be an uncle!"
Yang Tianyou, who was on the side, had long been sluggish. He was caught up in this shocking news and couldn't extricate himself for a long time.
Who would have thought that Yang Tianyou would become a grandfather after more than a thousand years...
"Thank you for your advice, brother." After coming to his senses, Yang Tianyou bowed his hands to the Jade Emperor, very sincerely.
"The gods of justice in the three realms, the True Lord Qingyuan Miaodao, the True Lord Zhaohui Xiansheng Erlang, your son, and my nephew Yang Jian, are happy to have a son today." The Jade Emperor waved his hand to fill the wine glasses in front of them and said :"Congratulations."
No one refused to drink it all.
After drinking, the Jade Emperor said to Yao Ji and Yang Tianyou: "I'm very sorry for what happened back then... No matter what, your family has been separated to this day, and I have nothing to do with it."
"If you drink a few more drinks together, I won't disturb you anymore."
After saying this, the Jade Emperor left.
Yang Jiao looked at his father and asked curiously: "Father...why did you suddenly give in? Also, what did the Jade Emperor give you?"
"Sometimes, iron's rampage may make you happy for a while, but it cannot solve the problem." Yang Tianyou is a smart person, and the Jade Emperor's intentions can't be concealed from him. "You have to use methods to do things, especially those that are appropriately roundabout." The method... just like you were banned by the contract set by the Emperor of Heaven just now, but you still told me the matter."
Yao Ji just couldn't think of it for a moment, but now after listening to Yang Tianyou's explanation, she understood in her heart, "Brother is talking about me. If I hadn't been so tough back then, and Erlang hadn't been so fierce, maybe... things would have gone another way. one direction."
"But if you really do it all over again, will there be any change in the choice you make?" Yang Tianyou asked.
Yao Ji thought for a moment and said with absolute certainty, "No."
"Where's Erlang?"
"His temper is more stubborn than mine."
After hearing this, Yang Jiao said: "The Jade Emperor is also a difficult person. He knows everything, but he doesn't say anything... We don't know anything, how can we guess what he is thinking?"
Yang Tianyou shook his head: "Perhaps there are some things that before they happened... Even if he knew about it, he couldn't say it?"
Yang Jiao was stunned for a moment and said, "Is it just like my mother and I just did?"
"Otherwise, why would he take this opportunity to come here to make such a show? It can't be to tease me." Yang Tianyou looked calm and serious, "Even the Jade Emperor thought it was troublesome, and he wanted to warn us in this way, which shows that something is wrong. Small."
The Jade Emperor outside the Haotian Tower nodded happily and said to himself: Talking to smart people is easy... It's a pity that I missed it before.
But there is one thing... The monkey is right, my mind is really small... The reason why I use this method is to tease you.
The Temple of the True King.
Yang Jian asked for leave today, and the six-eared macaque has basically been working all year round since he was on duty. At this time, he was naturally in charge of the affairs of the Zhenjun Temple. Then he heard that his master and fellow seniors were in Jinping Mansion. Conversation about the three rhino spirits.
These three rhinoceros spirits have long been on the list of their True Lord Temple.
According to the law, goblins pretending to be immortals and Buddhas are unforgivable sins.
But it was also because of their actions of raining rain for thousands of years that Erlang Zhenjun had not made a decision... and because Jinping Mansion was on the only way that Master could go west, the annotation given at that time was - refer to the opinions of Master Tripitaka. , and then deal with it.
Now...these two are going to blame each other.
Master and the others also knew that this was a troublesome matter. Even for Zhenjun Erlang, it was not as easy as imagined to handle the matter properly. Therefore, he was not asked to send a message this time, but the senior brother came to invite him in person.
Isn't this just a coincidence?
nine years.
This little Mr. Yang has been in Mrs. Yang's belly for more than nine years, and he was not born until today...
Just as I was thinking about it, the senior brother had already arrived.
"True Lord, Erlang True Lord... My grandson is here!" The great sage had just landed, and this voice had already filled the True Lord Temple.
Although True Lord Erlang is still in the Yang Mansion... the True Lord Temple is only a few steps away from the Yang Mansion. Moreover, the Great Sage did not hide his whereabouts. After this shout...
When the six-eared macaque rushed out, he heard that Zhenjun Erlang had already left the gate of Yang Mansion and was about to greet his senior brother.
This somersault was really fast.
Now that Erlang Zhenjun had gone out, the six-eared macaque was not in a hurry and said to the Great Sage: "Elder brother, Mrs. Yang gave birth to a son today. Zhenjun is not in the temple but at his residence."
"Oh!" When the Great Sage heard this, he exclaimed: "I came in such a hurry that I didn't know this is the time..."
Seeing that Erlang Zhenjun was about to arrive, he turned around but didn't know where to go. When the Great Sage turned back again, Erlang Zhenjun had already arrived at the Zhenjun Temple, and in the hands of the Great Sage, there was an extra jade pendant. ..
The Dragon King of the East China Sea looked at the great sage who came and went without a trace, then looked at the jade pendant that was missing from his waist, and the golden hoop that was erected in the Dragon Palace... He said to the Dragon Mother on the side: "Did that happen just now? Sun Wukong has been here?"
The Dragon Mother nodded and said: "Yes... He said that just in time for the birth of Erlang Zhenjun's son, he would like to lend you the dragon pendant as a gift... and first pledge the Dinghai Shenzhen Iron... By the way, the jade pendant He didn't take it away, you took it off and handed it over."
The Dragon King of the East China Sea walked up to the Golden Cudgel, touched it twice, and said, "Isn't he afraid that I won't return it to him?"
It's just a piece of jade pendant, how can it compare to the precious iron of Dinghai Shen?
But the Dragon Mother glanced at him and didn't want to answer this boring question.
The Dragon King of the East China Sea also smiled helplessly: "Although this great sage has begun to follow rules and etiquette under Master Tripitaka, this style of conduct... may be difficult to change even after a while."
