Red Cloud: Establishing Mahayana Buddhism as a Holy Spirit

Chapter 402

All the way to the west, facing the wind and snow, wearing the moon and wearing the stars, and it is in the early spring weather, I can only see the three suns transiting, and everything is shining.

Tang Sanzang, who was riding on a white dragon horse, looked like an eminent monk, and walked forward slowly. Monkey King in front of him was the vanguard to check for monsters along the way, while Zhu Bajie was still heartless, and Sha Wujing was Carrying the burden and walking at the end.

Tang Sanzang, a mortal, hadn't noticed anything yet, at this time Zhu Bajie raised his eyebrows and said with a lazy smile: "Brother Monkey, what happened in front? It sounds like thousands of people shouting."

After Tang Sanzang heard this, he hastily reined in the white dragon horse. At this time, he was really a pure mortal, so don't let any more accidents happen. The disturbance on the Journey to the West is really a bit big.

Sha Wujing also heard a distant voice and nodded slightly: "Master, there is really movement in front, like thunder and thunderbolts."

At this moment Tang Sanzang frowned after hearing this, and when he was suspicious, Monkey King on the side suddenly laughed, "Hey, master, don't scare yourself by listening to this idiot's nonsense."

I saw Sun Wukong jumping on the stone on one side, pointing to the distance and playing and saying: "My old grandson looked with piercing eyes and saw the commotion of people and horses in the distance just now. It seems that tens of thousands of monks are working personally to build a temple."

So obedient, Tang Sanzang reacted immediately after hearing this, the corners of his eyes twitched, damn it!He thought there was another big mess, but it turned out to be here.

Che Chiguo!Isn't this just three learned monsters enslaving monks to work.

Thinking of this, Tang Sanzang coughed lightly, and said indifferently with the air of an eminent monk: "In that case, let's continue on our way."

……

When Tang Sanzang and his party rode a white horse and a dragon horse, they came to the border of Chechi Kingdom, what they saw was a shocking scene.

There were tens of thousands of monks in the blackness, all dressed in rags, and there was only endless silence in the eyes of slaves, and the ones in charge of supervision turned out to be Taoist priests.

"Who are you!"

When Tang Sanzang saw this scene, the other party also spotted them, and saw a Taoist priest followed by several soldiers and directly stopped in front of them and shouted.

Seeing the other party's inquiry, Tang Sanzang directly showed a holy and noble aura, proudly put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, the poor monk is a monk who came from the Tang Dynasty, the king of the Tang Dynasty, and my Buddha Tathagata The decree is to go to Xitian Lingshan to get the scriptures."

Good guy, after this series of registrations, the direct focus is on the question of identity.

The poor monk came from the Tang Dynasty, and he was ordered by the king of the Tang Dynasty, and the four characters of saying "Heavenly Dynasty Shangguo" tell this group of people that the power of the Tang Dynasty is far beyond that of Chechi, and at the end, he even mentioned Feng Tathagata Dharma purpose.

It can be said that the emperors of human dynasties and the legendary Buddhist Tathagata are his backers.

It was obvious that after hearing these words, the aura of the soldiers weakened by three points in an instant, especially looking at Tang Sanzang sitting on the white dragon horse, his noble and holy aura was indeed not ordinary.

The little Taoist priest was startled when he heard this, and then suppressed the fear in his heart, but he also restrained his aura at the beginning, "It turns out that he is a monk from another country. I don't know why he came to my Chechi country?"

Seeing the little Taoist priest pretending to be calm, Tang Sanzang nodded slowly and explained with a calm expression: "The poor monk was ordered by the king of Tang to change the customs of the countries along the way."

Hearing that the other party was really passing by, and he was ordered by the king of another country, the little monk was also secretly relieved. After all, they can't control the monks of other countries, and they still obeyed the orders of their own king.

"So you go."

The little Taoist priest is unwilling to argue with monks from other countries, but this group of soldiers can't ignore it. The leader of the guards, the captain, respectfully stepped forward and said: "Since it is a holy monk from the Celestial Dynasty who came to our country to change the Guanwen, then the Let the villain take the holy monk to the city to meet the king of Chechi Kingdom."

"Amitabha, thank you so much, Lord."

People are like this, if you are strong, the opponent will be weak, especially in this kingdom where the status of monks is obviously low, so Tang Sanzang deliberately put on a proud and noble atmosphere, and even mentioned the issue of status again and again, also in order to elevate himself .

After Zhu Bajie saw this, he secretly smiled and winked at Sun Wukong, as if to say that our master is proficient in the rules of this mortal.

Although this Chechi country is also a country, it is only a small country. Although it has never heard of the name of the Tang Dynasty, it also knows the etiquette that envoys from other countries should not be underestimated. They headed towards Chechi King City.

The restless Zhu Bajie looked around curiously, and couldn't help asking the soldiers: "Old pig is a little puzzled, how come the monks in your Chechi Kingdom are like slaves, but this Taoist priest seems to be a prison boss?"

Although the headed guards were a little afraid of Zhu Bajie's appearance as a monster, they could accept it. The other party was able to take on the mission of the king. This was definitely a holy monk with real skills, not a fake monk here. It can only be done by people with real skills.

"Several elders, all of you have come from afar and don't know anything about my country."

I saw the chief guard respectfully began to talk about this strange scene in their country.

"I'm late in the country, let's not talk about how good the civil and military officials are, and the rich and the elders love the virtuous, so there is no need to worry about it. The first class is the long live king who loves the virtuous."

When he said this, the guard showed a proud look, and Tang Sanzang nodded secretly. It seems that the king of Chechi Kingdom is also wise, otherwise he would not be loved by the people.

"This story begins 20 years ago. At that time, there was a severe drought in my country, there was no rain, and the land was full of seedlings. Regardless of the size of the monarch, ministers, Li, and common people, every family bathed and burned incense, and every household prayed for rain. At that time, our king To pray for rain is to kneel in front of the monastery and beg Mantian Buddha for help, and in the end, all the monks in the country are called together."

When he said this, the chief guard, who was only in his thirties, couldn't help but tears welled up in the corners of his eyes when he remembered the sufferings of the past, but at this moment, there was a smile on his face.

"From top to bottom in my Che Chi Kingdom, in order to pray for rain, the king personally bowed down, and finally fainted on the altar, and this group of monks actually said that I was not sincere! Suddenly, three fairy elders descended from the sky. Come, pray for the heavy rain, and save the people in the city of Che Chi."

Zhu Bajie at the side immediately laughed and said with a big grin, "Then your king is angry with the monk and deceived the public, so he treats the monk of his country as a slave."

Seeing Zhu Bajie's ridicule, the chief guard shook his head and said: "Yes! No! At that time, after asking for heavy rain to save the people, although my king didn't like monks, it was not so far. It was later that the monks deceived the public by saying that The drought was caused by the king, who was furious at that time and directly ordered several monasteries that spread rumors to be ransacked."

"As a result, this copying has caused trouble!" When he said this, the head of the guard was even more angry, and the rest of the accompanying soldiers were all even more angry after hearing this.

Under the curious eyes of Tang Sanzang and others, the chief guard said directly with disdain: "As a result, most of the temples are places where filth is hidden, and the gold, silver and grain copied out are enough for me to drive ten years old." Years of taxes, not to mention the encroachment of fertile land is simply innumerable."

Another soldier on the side immediately yelled and cursed inwardly after hearing this: "It's not just these, the temple also copied many young monks and female monks back then."

Suddenly a group of people showed mocking smiles, but Tang Sanzang on the horse shook his head indifferently after hearing this, watching the numb monks working one by one, he knew it should be true.

For a country that is rich and free from disasters, monasteries are indeed a place to quickly accumulate wealth. As the saying goes, people will never be satisfied if they are full of lust and selfish desires.

As for all of this?He definitely doesn't believe it, but he believes that most monasteries are like this.

Looking at the young Taoist priests who turned into supervisors and showed no mercy to these monks, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but secretly shook his head. Perhaps today's Taoist priests are more honest than monks, but the time is too short. After their fighting spirit is gradually eroded, The scene of this group of monks will also appear.

It has nothing to do with belief or ethics, because this is human nature!
"Oh, the three immortal masters of Chechi Kingdom are so courageous that they dare to treat monks like this in Xiniu Hezhou. My old grandson is curious, who are these three immortal masters?"

Sun Wukong, as a born stone monkey, has no mortal feelings, so after hearing this, he saw another direction.

On the contrary, it was the three immortal masters of the Che Chi country that made him a little afraid. He is not a wild monkey who used to know nothing. Xiniu Hezhou is the site of Western Buddhism, and the three of the Che Chi country are simply unscrupulous. .

Even at this time, Sun Wukong secretly suspected, could it be the existence of the two Lich clans in ancient times?
After hearing this, the chief guard smiled proudly and began to introduce, "The three elders of Chechi Kingdom are Hu Li Da Xian, Lu Li Da Xian, and Yang Li Da Xian. Water is oil, and stone is turned into gold, but it is as easy as turning around. Therefore, with such magic power, it can take away the creation of heaven and earth, change the mystery of stars, and respect each other."

Along the way, as long as they talked about the three immortal elders of the Chechi Kingdom, all the soldiers showed a proud look, and Sun Wukong was even more frightened when he saw it, and he couldn't help but beat Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing. Wink.

Don't need Sun Wukong to say, it is definitely a terrifying existence to dare to be so unscrupulous in the western Buddhist territory of the Hezhou family in Xiniu. Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing showed a dignified look at the beginning.

After all, they have encountered too many things along the way during the Journey to the West, but they just don't know who is in this city, from the Witch Clan?Or from the Yaozu?

Che Chi Kingdom, the palace.

"Report~greetings to Your Majesty, a monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty came outside the city. He said that he was ordered by the King of Tang and the Tathagata's decree to go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures.

At this time, the king of Che Chi Kingdom was discussing with the three elders, when he suddenly heard the report from his subordinates, he immediately showed surprise.

I saw the king turned his head and looked suspiciously at the three national teachers he trusted, "Dare to ask the three national teachers, do you know this person who learned the scriptures? And this Tang Dynasty?"

The three elders frowned immediately after hearing this, and saw that the thin and thin Immortal Yangli, who was as thin as a hemp stalk, pinched his beard, nodded proudly, and said, "This Tang Dynasty is the God of Dongsheng." The large country at the junction of Nanzhanzhou and Nanzhanbuzhou has always been known as the kingdom of heaven, it has a huge population under its rule, its territory is even more boundless, and it is a big country with millions of troops."

Excuse me!It's useless to blow the ground again and again, but the old king's eyes stared straight at the million-armed man, and he couldn't help but gasped in shock and said, "Good guy, I really deserve to be called the king of the Kingdom of Heaven." Four big characters, the sum of my whole country is no more than the number of other soldiers and horses, there really is a sky beyond the sky, don't neglect it."

When he said this, the old king hurriedly waved his hand to the guards kneeling on one knee below him and said, "Hurry up! Use the most solemn ceremony to welcome the Buddhist scriptures from the Celestial Dynasty to rest at the inn. Remember! All specifications must be the best. Don't fall into the etiquette of our Che Chi country."

"Yes! Your Majesty!" The guard retreated respectfully, but the old king's serious attitude made the three elders feel a little uncomfortable.

Among them, Immortal Huli Zhang De Na is called a five big and three thick, with a steel needle beard on his face, which is even more wild, "Your Majesty, what does it have to do with us if he goes to get his scriptures."

"Hehe, it's extremely extreme." The old king laughed with the three elders with a smile on his face, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart. He thought that the three elders of himself were incomprehensible in the way of the world, and you looked down upon them, but How can there be a gap between countries rashly? Isn't this just looking for trouble for yourself?

Immortal Lu Li, who was as thin as a hemp stalk, smiled and shook his head after watching this scene, "Your Majesty, tomorrow is the birthday of Hongyun Sage and Nuwa Empress, and this is the most important thing."

After hearing this, Immortal Huli and Immortal Yangli on the side immediately condensed their faces, nodded respectfully and said, "That's right, it doesn't matter whether he is a Buddhist or not, tomorrow's Hongyun sage and Nuwa's birthdays will definitely not hold up."

If Hu Li, Lu Li, and Yang Li are the three great immortals who worship the saints, then the king of the Chechi Kingdom nodded solemnly after hearing this: "That's right! There must be absolutely no mistakes in the birthday of the Holy Mother, so tomorrow I will have to trouble the three great immortals."

It can be said that these two gods can be regarded as common beliefs between mortals and the three elders. One mortal thinks of parents, and the other feels like reborn parents.

"Your Majesty, let me discuss tomorrow's ceremony later to make sure nothing goes wrong."

"Okay! I think Che Chi's good weather in recent years is all thanks to the protection of the Holy Father and the Holy Mother. Naturally, it is also the credit of the three elders. Now that the country is rich, this time we have to make a big deal! We have to do it well."

"Extremely extreme, Your Majesty is right, so that the two saints can know our sincerity."

In the palace, the three immortal elders left because they had a direct talk with the king of Chechi Kingdom late at night about Christmas tomorrow, and Tang Sanzang and his party had already been arranged to rest in the post station.
