Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Chapter 123 It's not good, disaster is imminent!

The eldest brother went to the South China Sea to invite Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Xiao Bailong got an order from his master to go to Baoxiang Buddhist Temple to fight.

Although the master said that he should ask him to pay homage to him, in Xiao Bailong's eyes, it was actually a challenge letter.

Besides, where did you post a greeting card, and you didn't come to the door by yourself, but you wanted to ask someone out?
But Wanzi Mountain is indeed a good place, where the master rescued a righteous god in the heavenly court. Could it be that it is the turn of the true Buddha of Buddhism this time?

Xiao Bailong got instructions from his master, and he also knew why when he went to Baoxiangguo Temple last time, he saw that Baoxiangguo Temple was heavily guarded and there were no people offering incense.

It turned out that the king of Baoxiang Kingdom was worried that the demon Buddha would confuse the people and asked the people to donate boys and girls, so he specially sealed the Baoxiang Buddhist Temple.

But I also thought that this elephant Buddha had blessed the founding ancestors of their family after all, so it just isolated the people, and only the royal family offered sacrifices did not cut off their incense.

In fact, the king was not timid. Not only did he not let the people enter to worship, he even forbade the monks in the Baoxiang Buddhist Temple to go out easily, for fear that they would spread rumors of cholera.

The past 13 years have been peaceful, but last night, the king received a summons from the abbot of Baoxiang Buddhist Temple, saying: Princess Baihua came back because of the manifestation of the Buddha, and asked the king to deliver the sacrifice quickly, otherwise retribution would come.

At first, the king wanted Princess Baihua to become a monk in the Baoxiang Buddhist Temple, but this time he naturally extinguished such thoughts.

When Xiao Bailong heard this, he almost laughed angrily.

If it wasn't for the master's disapproval, he would have wanted to hit the door alone with a gun, and put the point of the gun at the throat of the demon Buddha, so as to ask him, who is showing the spirit now?
Of course, he can only think about this kind of thing in his head. A person like Master, who always makes decisions before acting, will never allow himself to be so reckless.

Otherwise, why do you need to let the big brother invite Guanyin Bodhisattva?

It is also because of the rapid increase in Xiaobailong's self-sustaining skills recently, and when he was in Wanzishan a few days ago, he single-handedly defeated a star king with one shot, which made him a little swollen.

"Amitabha, the disciple was still slandering the master in his heart just now, it is really wrong, it is a sin."

Bang Bang Bang --

Xiaobailong knocked on the gate of Baoxiang Buddhist Temple. This was the second time he came to the door. Unlike the first time, this time he came here in an open and honest manner.

Since no pilgrims came to the door for many years, even the two disciples guarding the door were a little surprised. It was the first time in more than ten years that someone could walk to the door of their Buddhist temple and knock on the door.

Could it be that His Majesty has shown mercy?

The two gatekeepers didn't really care if there were any pilgrims coming, anyway, all the daily food and clothing in their monastery was provided by the imperial court.

Without those constant streams of pilgrims coming to the door, I was not used to it at first, but later I felt that it was a big problem, but it was a bit clean.The Buddhist temple with a little less fireworks looks like a treasure land of Buddhism.

At first it was not so easy for the king to seal off the temple, but he also made up his mind to protect the people and sent soldiers to control the main roads around Baoxiang Buddhist Temple. meet him.

If you have difficulties, you don't ask your parents and officials, and you don't ask him, the father, but you come to the Buddha. Does it mean that there is something wrong with him, the king?
He can't guarantee that all the subjects under his command are prosperous, but wherever he sees, he must do his best to do his best, at least to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, and he is powerless.

This is also the case, although he has worked hard to rule, but until now he dare not say that he is worthy of all the people under his command and is a qualified king.

He is indeed a king, but after all, when people are poor, they can't do everything, not to mention that the ministers in the court are not fuel-efficient lamps, which consumes his energy.

Because he knows that there are many intractable diseases lurking in the dark beyond his control.

Some are natural disasters, some are man-made disasters, and some are just like the area around Wanzi Mountain, caused by demons.

This is also one of the reasons why the king did not hesitate to worship Master Sanzang as the national teacher, and even set up a national temple for him to worship, but also wanted to keep Master Sanzang.

After the two gatekeepers opened the door, seeing the handsome appearance of Xiao Bailong, they were taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but scrutinize him a little more, then saw that Xiao Bailong looked a little impatient, so they restrained themselves a little, and opened their mouths. Asked: "I don't know what happened to the layman?"

"I am a disciple of Master Sanzang, a divine monk of the Tang Dynasty. My master passed by Baoxiang Country to learn Buddhist scriptures from the west, and heard that there is a Lingyaxiang Buddha in your temple with profound teachings. Therefore, I specially invite the real Buddha to discuss the Dharma in Wanzi Mountain on the fifteenth day of tomorrow." As Xiaobailong said, he took out the "War Letter" in his hand, put it in front of the two disciples, and said: "This is my master's greeting card, please."

The two disciples were still in the dark, subconsciously received the "war letter" in their hands, Xiao Bailong nodded and said: "Since your temple has accepted the invitation, my master will wait for the real Buddha at Wanzi Mountain, and take my leave. "

After Xiao Bailong finished speaking, he left without looking back.

When the two guard disciples came to their senses, Xiao Bailong was still there.He hurriedly chased after him, only to see that rows of soldiers had already lined up beside him, and in the distance, there was a big inner court official coming from a distance holding a yellow silk edict——

"not good!"

The two of them cried out in alarm, and hurriedly went to find the abbot and elder without closing the door.

First, there was a great monk from the Tang Dynasty who came to discuss Buddhism, and then the courtiers came to proclaim the imperial decree. As long as they are not too stupid, combined with the current situation of their Baoxiang Buddhist Temple, they can guess that this is definitely not a good thing.

"Abbot, something serious happened!"

The two of them didn't wait for the elder abbot to inquire. With just one word from you, I explained clearly what happened just now, and taking advantage of the moment when the abbot was in a daze, I sent the invitation letter to him without leaving a trace, saying : "Elder, this is the greeting letter sent by the disciple of the great Tang monk."

The elder abbot was not in the mood to take a closer look at the moment.My family knows their own family affairs, and their Baoxiang Buddhist Temple does not have any real materials, and the Buddhist classics in the temple are all handed down from other families, and there is not a single volume of scriptures of this school. The Buddhist Scriptures were actually compiled by the first abbot from many Buddhist classics.

The reason is only word of mouth, no paperwork.
Firstly, it seems mysterious and profound, after all, Buddhism is not taught lightly; secondly, it is just in case, not only to prevent mistakes, it is convenient to modify it at any time, but also not to follow the truth.

Moreover, it has been handed down from generation to generation and has been changed for a long time. After all, each generation of abbot has his own understanding of Buddhism. Anyway, there is no document, so he can bring in his own private work and pass it on to the next abbot.

Baoxiang Kingdom has been established for nearly 200 years, and it has gone through nine generations of abbots. In the hands of this generation of abbots, this "Baoxiang Scripture" is already the ninth edition.

Tata pedal——

At this moment, the sound of orderly footsteps came from the Buddhist temple, with a murderous air in it.

Under the guard of the guards, the courtier stepped straight into the courtyard, held up the imperial decree with both hands, and raised his voice: "The abbot of Baoxiang Buddhist Temple listens to the decree—"

The abbot didn't have time to think about it, and quickly bowed to the imperial decree.

Seeing that the abbot and elder still had manners, the minister unfolded the imperial decree with a bang, and began to proclaim the decree: "Your Majesty said: Today, there are eminent monks from the Tang Dynasty passing through our country from the east to the Tianling Mountain in the west. One is to learn scriptures, and the other is to promote Buddha; Since the Buddhist temple is a national temple, we should discuss Buddhism with the eminent monks of the state and promote the prestige of the country. The monks of the Baoxiang Buddhist Temple can set off to the Boyue Pagoda in Wanzi Mountain to listen to the Buddha's teachings. I admire this."

"Elder, accept the order."

The elder abbot took the imperial edict and said: "The poor monk accepts the edict."

Seeing that the abbot and the elders were very knowledgeable, the minister didn't use any force, and led the guards out of the Buddhist temple.

The elder abbot gritted his teeth, told all the disciples in the temple to retreat, and entered the main hall alone, then knelt down to the golden statue of Buddha, and kowtowed: "Lord Buddha, disaster is coming."

"Why are you so panicked?" The golden body on top of the main hall showed fake behavior. If you look closely, although it also has the appearance of a human, it still has the ears and nose of an elephant. It is also a half-monster appearance. A little tired in the middle, it seems that he was still in a deep sleep just now before being awakened.

"Perhaps the Buddha asked for virgin boys and virgins. He hated His Majesty the King. He invited an eminent monk from the Tang Dynasty to argue with you about Buddhism. This is a letter of worship." The elder abbot presented the letter of worship, and then put it at the bottom of the case, He bowed his head and said: "The king has issued an order to let us wait for the saints of Xiangfo Temple to go to the Wave Moon Pagoda in Wanzishan immediately. Lord Buddha, this is probably going to lure us out of the royal city and catch us all in one go!"

"He is so courageous!" The elephant Buddha was furious when he heard the words: "I haven't gone to punish him, but he has dealt with me first!"

The elder abbot over there is reporting what happened just now to "Xiangfo", and the great sage and little white dragon here have also returned one after another.

The Great Sage was telling Master the news he had received in the South China Sea, but when Master heard about the origin of the elephant Buddha, his expression gradually became calm and helpless.The Great Sage seemed to see some disappointment in Master's eyes.

Master... Could it be that he is disappointed that this spirit tooth elephant Buddha is not the real Buddha of Lingshan?
Xiao Bailong also sighed secretly when he heard this, he seemed to have missed another chance to single out the monster.

"Master, shall we still go to Wanzi Mountain?" The Great Sage scratched his head. Such a big battle was just to deal with a little demon. It was indeed a bit loud.

"No rush." ​​Fa Hai paused, "Let's wait for the little elephant to make a decision."

"What does Master mean by this?" The Great Sage was a little confused.

"You might as well think about it, if it's just an ordinary monster, if blackmail doesn't work, what do you think he will do if he is tricked?"

"Not good." The Great Sage exclaimed, and said, "If he becomes angry from embarrassment, I'm afraid the king's life is in danger. This disciple will go and guard the Buddhist temple to prevent the demons from making trouble."

Just when the great sage was about to leave, he saw the king coming in a hurry, and his expression was a little flustered, "Holy monk, it's not good! The elephant Buddha has promised to discuss Buddhism with you!"

Crowd: ? ? ?
The king took a few breaths, and said: "But if he doesn't go to Wanzi Mountain, he will debate the Dharma with you in the Xiangfo Temple. On the one hand, he doesn't want the monks in the temple to go hiking; Witnessed by the people of the city.”
