After saluting, Chen Xingzhi asked:
"Two Taoist priests, we are Taoist priests from the Tang Dynasty in the East. We are going to the West. We passed by Guibao Land and were a little confused when we saw this scene. I would like to excuse you two Taoist priests. I dare to ask what this is. Condition?!"
When Chen Xingzhi asked, he also pointed at the monks working around him.
As soon as the two Taoist priests heard this, they understood what he meant.
One of the Taoist priests opened his mouth to introduce them.
"Fellow Taoist, our place is called Chechi Country, and the king is related to us."
The six-eared macaque also chimed in.
"Could it be that we from the Taoist sect have become kings?!"
"That's not it!"
The Taoist priest shook his head and continued:
"Twenty years ago, the country of Chechi encountered a severe drought. The people were miserable. There was not a drop of rain in the sky or on the ground. Every household was praying for rain! So the king said, who can make the rain fall from the sky? , he will respect whoever is the national master... At this moment, three immortals came down from the sky, causing rain to fall from the sky, saving the lives of a whole country!"
"Oh, who are these three immortals?!"
Chen Xingzhi was a little curious and quickly asked.
"These three immortal masters are my masters. Among them, the master is called Huli Daxian, the second master is called Luli Daxian, and the third master is called Yangli Daxian! These masters have great abilities, they can call the wind and rain, and turn water into oil. Turning stones into gold, you can do anything! You can take over the fortunes of heaven and earth, and change the mysteries of the stars. After being respected by the king as the national teacher, the king and his ministers respected each other, and the entire Chechi Kingdom, our Taoist sect became the state religion!"
The Taoist priest introduced with a proud face.
Chen Xingzhi sounded a little unfamiliar, and he couldn't help but look at the six-eared macaque and Marshal Tianpeng beside him. From their expressions, he could confirm that the other party had never heard of these three names either!
Who are these three people? They are also confused.
Obviously, these three so-called great immortals are definitely not real members of the Immortal Sect, or the other party is just a small figure in the Immortal Sect.
Otherwise, the six-eared macaque and Marshal Tianpeng would not have heard of each other's names!
By virtue of their status in the Immortal Sect, they are more or less acquainted with all the famous people.
Chen Xingzhi suddenly became interested in the three immortals and said quickly:
"I didn't know there were such immortals in this world. I wonder if two Taoist brothers can recommend one or two for me?!"
"That's easy?!"
The Taoist priest said casually:
"We are all members of the Tao sect. If there is a Tao, the Tao sects in the world are one family. My master is also extremely happy with the people of the Tao sect. In this case, we naturally want to introduce them here!"
"Thank you very much!"
Chen Xingzhi also quickly said politely:
"In that case, let's go in now?!"
"Wait a moment!"
The Taoist priest waved his hand and said:
"The two of us came here, and we still have some official matters to deal with. After we deal with the official matters, we will lead a few people to see my master!"
"Oh! I wonder what business these two Dao brothers have?! Is there anything we can do to help?!"
Chen Xingzhi asked like this, and the Taoist priest pointed at the monks and introduced:
"Have you seen these people?! They are doing the work we arranged. I am afraid that they will be lazy here, so I will go and order the orders. After the order is finished, I will lead a few people to introduce my master."
"These are all monks. How did they end up in this situation?!"
Chen Xingzhi continued to ask.
"Brother Taoist, I don't know. These people only know how to chant the Buddha's name. They have no skills and cannot solve practical problems. After my master came, in order to make them give up their belief in Buddhism, he established rules. Anyone who wants to continue to believe in Buddhism here They need to be reduced to slaves. These monks are unwilling to change their beliefs, so they should be like this!"
The Taoist priest introduced it bit by bit.
Chen Xingzhi nodded heavily and said with a smile:
"That is indeed the case, but Brother Dao, I have a little suggestion. In addition to letting them do these tasks, we should also let them recite Taoist classics every day! Only in this way can they know our Taoist classics. He is the authentic one in the world, and further gives up everything he had in Buddhism before, and throws himself into the embrace of our Taoism!"
"You are right!"
The Taoist priest nodded and said affirmatively:
"I will discuss this suggestion with Master. After obtaining Master's permission, let them recite Taoist classics every day and fall into the arms of our Taoist sect sooner or later."
"Let's go, Brother Tao, let's go to Dian Mao first."
The two Taoist priests led Chen Xingzhi and the others to the monk, took out the list, and started counting them one by one.
There were a total of five hundred monks here. After finishing the order one by one, the Taoist priest reprimanded him unceremoniously:
"You monks, I have told you a long time ago, don't toast or eat as a penalty... My master will give you the opportunity to work here during the day and recite Taoist classics at night. If you recite well, you will have the opportunity to join in the future. If you are a sneaky person in our Taoist sect and do not sincerely join the Taoist sect, then you will never be able to get rid of your status as a slave in this life!"
After reprimanding these monks, he did not forget to give them a little hope.
"In half a month, I will send someone to test your achievements. By then, those who are committed to the Tao can be freed from slavery. You must cherish this opportunity, do you hear me clearly?!"
The five hundred monks were silent, and no one answered here!
The Taoist priest seemed to have known this for a long time, and with a wave of his hand, he signaled that they could go about their business!
Those who can still stay and work here are die-hard Buddhist monks. He is here to persuade them as much as possible, hoping that they can convert here!
After settling the matter here, the Taoist priest turned to Chen Xingzhi and the others and said:
"Fellow Taoists, please come this way!"
"good!"
Chen Xingzhi and the others also nodded quickly and followed each other towards the city.
The two Taoist priests were indeed very enthusiastic towards the Taoist priests. As they walked, they asked:
"Fellow Taoists, how about I cleanse the dust for you first and put on new outfits, and then go see my master?!"
This shows that the clothes they wear here are a bit shabby.
Chen Xingzhi smiled slightly and said softly:
"Thank you very much, Brother Dao!"
"You're welcome, the Taoist sects in the world are all one family, we are all one family, as close as brothers, you're welcome!"
The Taoist enthusiastically invited them into the city, stayed in their Taoist temple, and arranged several upper rooms.
They also arranged for people to help them wash up and changed into beautiful Taoist robes!
