The current situation of Wuji Country is also unique in Xizhou.
Not to mention Xizhou, even if we look at the entire Three Realms, there are very few people with such courage as the leader of the Wuji Kingdom.
It can only be said that the founding hero was really courageous.
Another example is the Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. After he came back from his soul wandering in the underworld, he took great measures to send Master Tripitaka to Lingshan to learn Buddhist scriptures. On the one hand, he also pushed the Tang Dynasty to prosperity in many aspects and all aspects.
Especially when the Xuanyuan Sword came to the world, the power of human blood was gradually revived. Under the leadership of Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance, the two top human beings, they annihilated and conquered many ghosts and monsters in the mountains and rivers, and even some "people who originally lived in seclusion" Practitioners" also had to surrender to the military front of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhongnan Mountain became the gathering place for these monks who had attached themselves to the Tang Dynasty and enjoyed the fortune of the dynasty. The leader was none other than Yuan Shoucheng, who had made a bet with the Dragon King of Jinghe.
He is the uncle of Yuan Tiangang, the Chief of the Qintian Supervisory Station. There is also a transcendent person in the middle of the court who no longer hides his cultivation. It is Li Chunfeng of the Taishi Bureau who recently accepted the former prince Li Chengqian as his disciple. Li Chengqian abandoned the secular world and became Taoist, and followed Li Chunfeng to practice wholeheartedly.
The emperor of the Tang Dynasty had many sons, more than ten sons, and three legitimate sons. But there was only one who could inherit the throne, and he couldn't leave the other sons alone. What's more, with himself as a "role model" in front of them, if they didn't think about the chair under their buttocks, then Li Shimin was 10,000 One who doesn’t believe it.
But Li Shimin would not be angry because of this. After all, as Li Shimin's son, if he didn't even have such thoughts, he would have lived in the imperial family in vain.
But that being said, he was both afraid that his sons would be useless and also afraid that they would be too promising. His mood was quite complicated.
And Li Chengqian, who was deposed by Li Shimin back then, can now find a destination of his own, which is undoubtedly a worry for Li Shimin.
Relatively speaking, the leader of the Wuji Kingdom does not need to worry too much.
Firstly, he only has one son, and secondly, his only son is also very impressive.
Since gathering the hearts of the people, the leader of the Wuji Kingdom has been able to control the power of humanity as a king to a certain extent. It can be said that he has gathered the destiny of the whole country into one, thus stimulating his own human bloodline. From then on, the Wuji Kingdom has embarked on a path of prosperous military fortune. the road.
His Highness, the Crown Prince, was obviously very talented. He had previously served as a foreign envoy in the Tang Dynasty and was trained by several generals of the Tang Dynasty. He was now considered to have achieved some success in martial arts. It was said that ordinary fairies were really no match for him.
Of course, if they meet those old demons who have practiced for five hundred or even a thousand years, even Xue Rengui and the others must deal with them carefully.
Moreover, when humans go into the mountains to exterminate evil spirits, they always use military formations to clear the way. Where the military spirit is, they can suppress all evil spirits.
Especially when Xue Rengui led the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, the evil aura soaring into the sky, not to mention the goblins trembled when they saw it, even the heavenly soldiers from heaven had to carefully consider whether they could withstand the opponent's charge. The momentum of the formation.
"Xiao Wang pays homage to the holy monk!"
Back then, my father was only able to return to his soul thanks to Master Tripitaka's rescue.
And everyone in the Wuji Kingdom received the blessing of Master Tripitaka, so that they could still escape unscathed after facing Manjusri Bodhisattva.
My father once said: Without Master Tripitaka, the Wuji Kingdom would have been destroyed long ago. We are not arrogant people who do not respect gods and Buddhas, but we do not worship all gods and Buddhas.
then--
The royal family of Wuji State ordered the construction of Baolin Temple and converted it into the Holy Buddha Temple. The golden statue of Master Tripitaka is enshrined in it.
In this regard, all the subjects of Wuji Kingdom raised their hands in approval.
As for the Dragon King of the Well, he simply became friends with the leader of the Wuji Kingdom and became brothers.
"Your Highness, please rise. As the crown prince of a country, Your Highness will not need to pay such a courtesy to a poor monk in the future." Fa Hai helped the prince up. When he first met the prince, he was still a high-spirited young man. Now he is far away. We met again after many years. However, I saw that the prince's upper lip had also grown a beard, and he looked much more mature and steady.
"Yes, yes, it all depends on the holy monk."
His Highness the Crown Prince agreed happily, but his expression became more respectful.
Seeing this situation, Fahai said nothing more. Unless he was "brainwashed" with Buddhist teachings, it would not be possible to correct him in just a few sentences.
"Holy Monk, the affairs of the country are heavy now, and it is difficult for my father to escape, so I asked the young king to greet me at the city gate. I specifically asked the young king to apologize to the holy monk, and asked the holy monk not to blame my father for not coming to greet me in person."
"You guys?" Fahai shook his head helplessly and said, "If this happens again, I will never come to your Wuji Kingdom again."
Even though His Highness the Prince heard that it was just a joke made by Master Tripitaka, his heart was still tight. When he was about to explain to Master Tripitaka, he heard the great sage on the side say: "My master is most afraid that you will treat him too much." Respectfully, my master often says that if possible, the world should not let the world know that he has such power."
"Why is this?" His Royal Highness the Prince asked following the Great Sage's words.
"Hehe, my old master wanted to get along with the world as equals, but after all, he can't hide his skills." Bajie spread his hands and said with a smile: "Now, after learning the scriptures from Lingshan, it is even more because the Buddha respects the master as ' He is called the 'Holy Buddha' by the world because he has perfect omniscience. He can no longer walk in the three realms as an ordinary monk."
His Highness the Crown Prince felt mixed emotions after hearing this.
Sure enough, the reason why the Holy Buddha is a Holy Buddha is that his state of mind is naturally very different from that of ordinary people like myself.
His Royal Highness the Prince thought for a while and said to Master Sanzang: "Holy Monk, you know that our Wuji country, our Wuji country, respects you so much, and it is not because of your status as the 'Holy Buddha'. You are actually a holy monk who can save lives in our country." Grace."
"Besides, the holy monk's Dharma is profound. On his journey westward, he is slaying demons and slaying evil spirits. He deserves our respect for punishing evil and promoting good." Having said this, His Highness the Prince bowed to Master Tripitaka again and said, "If The holy monk doesn't accept it, but doesn't it mean that we are being unjust?"
"good."
Seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince could say such a thing, Fahai nodded and said with a smile: "That's why I accepted the courtesy from you before. What I said afterward is to remind you that your father did the right thing and did not put this poor monk in any situation." Above all national affairs, you must do the same in the future. When you are in charge of a country, the well-being of the people depends on you. You should distinguish the priorities and never abandon the basics for the weak."
Is that so?
His Highness the Crown Prince was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously bowed again, "I have learned a lesson."
And this ceremony is the disciple’s ceremony.
Fahai also accepted it calmly.
Naturally, he would not shy away from the courtesy that he should receive. And Fa Hai would never be tainted by the courtesy that he should not receive.
The master and apprentice did not stay long in Wuji Country.
It's just that compared to opening forums to lecture in several other countries, Fahai passed down some of his insights on cultivating human blood in Wuji Country.
It was also the alliance between Chechi, Baoxiang and Wuji, and the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty at the same time. The national power of the three countries was also rising steadily.
However, the leaders of these three countries are not easy people.
Each has its own style, that is, now that Master Sanzang is the link, they can make good friends first, otherwise the eastern part of Xizhou will never be able to calm down.
All three countries are well aware of this.
Therefore, there is a tacit understanding to leave a "vacuum" zone at the border between the three countries as a buffer.
No matter what happens in the future, it should be impossible to fight at this stage anyway.
In fact, the areas where each of the three kingdoms can expand is very limited. Since the Tang Dynasty captured the Uzang Kingdom, the Baoxiang Kingdom has bordered the Tang Dynasty. Further west, past Pingding Mountain, is the Wuji Kingdom;
The Chechi Kingdom is bounded by the Heishui River to the east and the Tongtian River to the west. Regional restrictions make it difficult for the Chechi Kingdom to do anything to expand its territory.
Not to mention the Wuji Kingdom, which was simply caught between Baoxiang and Chechi.
Therefore, the three countries can only develop towards the north and south without conflict with each other.
But there is a more difficult problem before them, that is, Master Sanzang has opened up the road from east to west and created a "Broadway to Heaven". But the demons in the north and south directions are still there.
Even though the three countries now have their own methods, they are not the Tang Dynasty after all. And the demons in Xizhou are by no means comparable to the demons in the Central Plains.
At the foot of Pingding Mountain.
The Great Sage and several other disciples did not follow. Only Fa Hai came to King Silver Horn with a pot of fine wine brought from the Wuji Kingdom.
"I remember that the fairy boy said that we should wait here to see the fate of the poor monk." Fahai sat cross-legged opposite King Silver Horn, sent the wine bottle in front of him, and said with a smile: "Now the poor monk has obtained the true Sutra, I wonder if the fairy boy is satisfied with the result of this poor monk's trip?"
King Silver Horn was no stranger to Master Tripitaka's affairs.
Although he was pinned under the flat-top mountain, he still had a life left after all. Although the mountain god did not dare to release him without permission, it was not difficult to tell him what happened to Master Tripitaka on his journey to the west.
The main reason is that the mountain god is also afraid that the Silver Horned King will really escape from trouble one day. If he comes to cause trouble for him because of this matter, then he really has no place to reason.
Although King Yinjiao said back then that as long as Master Tripitaka is alive, he will not come out from the mountain for a day;
And if Master Tripitaka dies one day, he will never survive because of this.
But the mountain god really couldn't believe it. After all, "oaths" are meant to be broken to a certain extent.
Otherwise, there is no need to take an oath. The only difference is whether you can afford the price of breaking the oath, or whether you would rather bear the corresponding price than break the oath.
To a certain extent, King Yinjiao is actually a person. When he saw Master Tripitaka passing by Pingding Mountain and bringing some good wine to see him, he was filled with emotions. First he sighed, and then said: "I'm looking down on you." The Holy Buddha."
After saying this, King Yinjiao grinned and said, "I wonder what Master Tripitaka felt after meeting the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas at Lingshan Mountain?"
Fahai thought for a while, then slowly said: "That's all."
hiss--
Even though he had expected Master Tripitaka to say something astonishing, King Silver Horn really didn't expect it to be so straightforward.
He was currently pressed under the mountain and could not look at Master Sanzang. Otherwise, he might be able to detect some different emotions from Master Sanzang's expression.
But even so, King Yinjiao still faintly discerned some disappointment from Master Sanzang's tone.
He had already heard about the riot between Master Sanzang and his disciples in Lingshan Mountain.
Because of this, I have more and more admiration for Master Tripitaka. When an ordinary monk goes to Lingshan, he is definitely going to the holy land to worship. But what this person does is probably unique in the Three Realms.
Perhaps monks from the Three Realms will also regard Tripitaka as a role model and imitate him one after another?
Thinking of this, King Yinjiao put his exposed hand slightly to the side of the wine bottle, opened his mouth to take a few sips of wine, and suddenly felt a great sense of regret. How could he have been so obsessed with it all that time that he did something like this? Then what happens?
In the end, my mother was saved, and my elder brothers entered reincarnation.
And he was also pressed under this flat-topped mountain. Seeing Master Tripitaka like this now, King Yinjiao said in his heart: It seems that he will be pressed under this flat-topped mountain forever.
Originally, according to his plan, with Tang Sanzang's unbridled temperament, he was destined to offend people wherever he went. He and his brother were just two boys under Lao Jun's family who guarded the alchemy furnace, and were not Tang Sanzang's opponents. It's understandable. But all the gods and Buddhas are waiting for him to pass.
But ever since he learned that in the Wuji Kingdom, even Manjusri Bodhisattva failed to argue with Tang Sanzang about Buddhism and therefore entered reincarnation, he had begun to realize the seriousness of the matter.
But it didn't take long before I heard that Tang Sanzang had forcibly saved the Bull Demon King's son, the Holy Infant King Hong Hai'er.
King Silver Horn inevitably has some expectations. After all, the Bull Demon King is a rare and vicious monster in the three realms. Manjushri Bodhisattva may have lost the argument with the Buddha and entered reincarnation. But if he and the Bull Demon King form a serious enmity, he can only Till death.
It's just that the Bull Demon King didn't come to take revenge for a long time, but instead waited for King Zhou of Tianxi Star to come to the lower realm.
Qingniu, who Laojun was sitting on, also secretly occupied Jindou Mountain in the lower world. During this period, he also came to visit him, saying that he wanted to stop Tang Sanzang and avenge his two brothers.
At the same time, King Silver Horn also learned another rumor from Qingniu: that by refining Tang Sanzang's soul, he could escape from the list of gods.
It was for this reason that King Zhou went down to the lower world.
At that time, King Yinjiao believed that Tang Sanzang was doomed and dead!
After all, apart from those mortals and the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming, there is probably no one who is on the list of gods who does not want to leave the list.
But how could King Silver Horn guess the subsequent development of this matter?
Especially after Qingniu carried Master Tripitaka against the thunder before returning to heaven, smashed the relics, saved King Zhou from the list of gods, and sent him to reincarnation. King Yinjiao no longer knew what he should do. I have to look at this Master Tripitaka with my eyes.
What happened next came one after another, and King Silver Horn finally had no choice but to recognize the reality.
