Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

After all, the Western Land is a Buddhist realm, and besides, when such eminent monks as Master Sanzang give lectures, they have long offered sacrifices to the pious believers in Saiguo. As soon as they received the news, they dragged their families to Jinguang Temple before dawn.

It is shocking to see those evil monks kowtow to repent of their sins, one after another.

Soon, the incident at the gate of Jinguang Temple spread.

All of a sudden, the whole city was lit up, and all men, women and children came to see the outside of the temple.

Even the king heard what happened here, and ordered: "The curfew is lifted tonight, and additional staff will be sent to maintain order in the city."

If such a thing happens, it is impossible to say that there will be no chaos.

In Nuoda's capital, it is naturally impossible for all of them to be good. Even in this Jinguang Temple, there are so many evil monks. It is actually foreseeable how the outsiders of the Buddhist temple will be.

But in the end, ordinary people accounted for the majority, and seeing this situation, Fahai let Wujing Eight Paths Spirit Body occupy the four corners of the city and recite Buddhist scriptures.

Wujing's kung fu of reciting scriptures can be described as two extremes with that of the Great Sage.

If it is said that the chanting of the Great Sage drives people crazy, the scriptures recited from Wu Jing's mouth almost caused the people in the city to temporarily calm down their restless hearts, and gradually calmed down. They each found their seats and sat cross-legged to listen quietly .

The Great Sage had seen it, so he nodded and said, "Mr. a teacher in a thatched cottage in the outskirts of the city."

The Great Sage only answered Wujing with one sentence, "Is it the Buddhist scriptures that are useless? Those who recite the Buddha's name."

The Great Sage also came back from the Ministry of Punishments, and said to the master in the main hall: "Master, it really is not the case. According to the records of the trial documents collected by the Ministry of Punishment, the first two generations of monks in Jinguang Temple are rarely good."

"Master Tripitaka" spoke the truth, and everyone just applauded.

"Brother, you said that with this kind of Dharma, you can't even cross Xiniu Hezhou, so what's the use of taking back the Tang Dynasty?"

But the sight of the Sai State Jinguang Temple in front of them opened the eyes of their master and apprentice.

It was Master Sanzang who brought back the relics and washed away their grievances. The ministers were afraid that if they were released first, they would talk nonsense in front of Master Sanzang, so they asked them to bathe and change clothes before dawn, and then asked them to take a shower. After they had eaten and drank enough, he led them to come together.

People in the secular world are all mortal.

"Amitabha." Fahai chanted the Buddha's name and said, "The disaster of the imperial court in this country has already been deeply rooted. My teacher is just an ordinary monk. Although he has some magical powers, there are some things that he has no power to do."

If there are some basic scriptures, you can still chant along with them. The voice of chanting is getting louder and louder. It seems that there is a kind of magical power lingering in everyone's ears, so that those who obviously don't understand the scriptures can also follow along. Open their mouths together.

"In that case, it's a good idea." The Great Sage said with a smile, "Especially those generals who are held in the sky, they are only asked to shine in the world, but they can't fight in person. I don't know how much resentment they have held back."

"But when a star enters the world, there will be killings, and in the end it will be disasters for the people. Who can tell whether it is a blessing or a curse?"

"I'm afraid the document records are not true." Master shook his head and said, "Perhaps there are still many ministers in the court colluding with the monks of Jinguang Temple. At this moment, they are using the reason of the loss of the relics to put the monks in prison and make it a case of death." The monks took the blame, and these high-ranking officials took advantage of it to get away."

Although the ruler of the country is not a wise ruler, he is far from being a foolish ruler. At most, he is a mediocre ruler. The government of the country is actually controlled by the ministers. He only cares about the glory and wealth, and generally he does not need to worry about those state affairs.

Needless to say, I knew it was Bajie's stomach rumbling.

This.
In the future, the Great Sage will not be able to continue.

But people's kindness is not discounted.

After the King of Jisai Kingdom and the ministers and concubines took their seats, Fa Hai began to lecture.

"Don't dare to be worshiped by the eminent monk." The king quickly turned sideways and stretched out his hands to help.

Yesterday the great sage murmured to his fellow teachers, saying that the sacrificial state took a Buddhist relic for nothing, and that his heart towards Buddha might not be as good as the monks in the Baoxiang country. The Buddhist scriptures are fabricated by oneself, not the real Buddhist classics, so it is naturally difficult to practice Buddhism.

Standing in all directions, Wujing could see clearly that many of these people showed strange expressions when they chanted sutras last night, but compared to the good people who are more devoted to the Dharma, there are still very few evil people.

Fa Hai flew down and landed in front of the temple. With a wave of his hand, the handwriting on the door plaque was changed to: "Zhen Guo Fu Long Temple"

The Great Sage asked again: "What if these Confucian scholars are useless and have no hope of saving the country?"

Seeing Master Sanzang sitting cross-legged on the top of the tower, the lord was deeply moved.

"The word "golden light" is not good. It is not a permanent thing: gold is a flowing thing, and light is a burning air."

The sharp weapon of the magic weapon falls into the hands of ordinary people, even if it has a peerless brilliance, it will eventually disappear in the world.

"Maybe the crimes hidden under the prosperity and beauty of this place are hidden from the eyes of True Monarch Erlang?" Fa Hai asked Wukong back.

Fa Hai smiled and said: "I still remember when we were in Huoyan Mountain, Erlang Zhenjun once said that it is better to guide rationally than to restrain the gods in the heavens. All the gods, in their spare time, reincarnated in the lower world, firstly, it can be regarded as a practice of calamity, to solve the disasters of ordinary people, and secondly, it can also release the boring resentment accumulated in the heavenly court."

Then the officials in the prison also ordered the jailer to fetch pens and paper to confess their crimes.

This is what an eminent monk in the Celestial Dynasty should look like, and then look at the "eminent monks" in their own country. That is, they have been imprisoned for a few days, and now they look a little thin, but in the past, they were all white, fat, and full of wealth. Can there be any real Dharma?
This matter is also strange.

The last person to act like this was the ruler of Che Chi Kingdom.

There are also some villainous people hiding in the capital who directly draw their swords and kill themselves, living shamelessly in the world.

Gollum-

Long ago, there was a sacrificial offering to the Lord of the Sai Kingdom, who led his concubines and ministers to the outside of the Jinguang Temple. Along with them, there were also the Jinguang Temple monks who were locked in the sky prison.

Because the people came early, Fa Hai did not hesitate to use his magic power. He flew into the sky and sat cross-legged on the top of Lingyun Pagoda. With the light of Buddha Shari, he also joined in the chanting and chanting of Buddha. It was a cold night, but it made the people in the city warm physically and mentally, as if bathing in the warm sun.

It was also like this that made him vaguely understand why a bodhisattva is a bodhisattva, because what a bodhisattva saves is not only good and evil, but life.

The lord of the country also sat at a table, which was originally a meat table, but after listening to the scriptures, he came back and told him to fast today.

Even many evil ministers simply knelt in front of His Majesty, and confessed for a long time what they had done in the past for corruption and perverting the law.

I had only met Master Sanzang before, but now I saw that the four disciples behind him had their own characteristics. After asking about the origin of the names of several high-ranking disciples, they were full of praise for their magical abilities.

Wu Jing remembers them one by one in his heart, this generation has serious evil deeds, after listening to the scriptures on exhorting goodness, it will naturally be like this, and their retribution is inevitable.

"Do you still remember Mr. Ziyu?"

The Dharma is so profound that even the great sage has to study it carefully, even if it is taught to the common people, how can they understand the deep meaning of it?

"You don't have to worry about it." Fa Hai said with a smile, "It's not just my teacher who noticed the scene in the middle school, and the change of dynasty was not done by my monks."

Those who have old diseases will recover immediately; those who are healthy will become stronger.
After the lecture, not only ordinary people, but also many high-ranking officials, concubines, and ministers were inspired by Buddhism and continued to repent.

As a result, he also admired the Bodhisattva even more. The Bodhisattva can save good and give up evil.

That being the case, Fahai did not follow the lord's politeness.

In a word, Wujing Maosai suddenly realized.

Wujing, who was originally focused on the west, now has a little pessimism, saying: "In the past, it was just said that the closer you are to the Lingshan Mountain, the more powerful the demons will be. But I didn't expect that the closer you are to the Lingshan Mountain, the monks in this temple, And it's all fake."

Even many concubines who came to listen to Master Tripitaka's lectures wanted to set up a Buddhist room after returning to the palace, dedicated to chanting scriptures and praying for blessings.

But some people seem out of place.

Although it was only the first time to listen to Master Sanzang's lecture, his demeanor has undoubtedly conquered all the subjects of Jisai Kingdom.

There is a saying in the mundane world-the so-called sword is given to the hero.

Just like this Lingshan Buddhist scripture, it would be a waste if it fell into the hands of these mediocre monks. If the master studies it and masters it, it must be a blessing in the three realms.

Even His Majesty clapped his hands and praised: "Golden light transforms into Fulong, the new name and new atmosphere are very good, very good."

Under the resplendent Buddha's voice, one may have a ferocious face, one may cry bitterly, one is insensitive, etc.——

"Mr. Ziyu doesn't go to other places to teach, but he comes here to preach and teach. All he can do as a teacher is to recite a sutra tomorrow, so as to maintain his disciples until they become talents and enter the world to save the country."

Sacrificial to the Lord of the Sai Kingdom, he entertained his master and disciples in the Kylin Hall of the Imperial Palace.

But from Fa Hai's point of view, he didn't have a firm enough stand to participate in it.

Rather than talking about teaching the scriptures, it would be better to say that Fahai is talking about his own understanding of Buddhism.

"It's easy to say, easy to say." His Majesty accepted the document and said: "I also invite the holy monk to enter the palace to make a statement. Firstly, the holy monk and his disciples came from afar. I have not had time to entertain you, so I have lost my courtesy; secondly, I am also a widow. The big seal is in the palace, and I didn’t take it with me. Besides, the holy monk should have some fasting meals for a day of lectures.”

Fahai said at the top of the pagoda: "Because there are two sinful dragons under the pagoda, this temple will be changed into Fulong Temple to teach you to live forever."

"The poor monk has seen His Majesty."

But wars are disasters, and they often create unjustly dead souls, which are not included in the end of life, so it is said to be evil karma.

"How about some of his students?"

Naturally, the simpler the things to tell the people, the better.

After Fahai performed a Buddhist ceremony seriously, he raised his head and said to the king: "The poor monk was ordered by the king of Tang to go to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures, and he happened to get this Buddhist relic lost in Jinguang Temple in Bibotan. This trip passed through your country, and the special property will be returned to the owner. Now that the matter is over, my master and apprentice are about to go west, so I ask Your Majesty to sign this customs clearance document."

The lord originally prepared a hundred seats for the ministers, but he didn't expect that after listening to a scripture, more than half of the courtiers confessed their sins on the spot. The lord would pardon them first, and they themselves could not agree , One by one, they ran into the sky prison and asked the Minister of the Ministry of Justice to lock them up.

Among the Buddha's voice, the sun rises in the east.

But the lord of the Chechi Kingdom was purely lazy because he wanted to be lazy, and the ministers he used were also able ministers and generals. Naturally, they were fundamentally different from the lord of the Jisai Kingdom who passively enjoyed blessings.

From the perspective of heaven, this is the reincarnation of human nature and the inevitable replacement of dynasties in the world.

On the contrary, it is even more fascinating, and the people of the whole city are immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves.

After the Minister of the Ministry of Justice locked them up, he also took off his black hat and court clothes, and asked a few upright officials to put themselves in prison.

What Fa Hai said is not a family that sticks to the Hinayana and Mahayana, let alone a boring scripture, but takes the "Heart Sutra" as the general outline, combines the two teaching methods of Hinayana and Mahayana, and then draws on his own insights from his journey to the west. , using easy-to-understand sayings to describe a vision in his own heart.

But Fahai can't reach the state of Bodhisattva for the time being, so Bodhisattva asked him to concentrate on subjugating demons, punishing evil and promoting good.

Guanglu Temple had already prepared a feast of vegetarian dishes. The lord of the country invited Master Sanzang to sit on the top seat, the Great Sage and Xiao Bailong sat on the side seat on the left side, and Monk Zhu Bajie Sha sat on the side side seat on the right side. They were all vegetarian fruits and vegetables , vegetarian tea, vegetarian rice.

"This" the great sage still lacks the experience and insight of such intrigue. Hearing Master's words at this moment, his expression was not good: "Master, this sacrificial ceremony is likely to be rotten into a ball in the court of the country. You will lecture tomorrow, but Want to take punishment?"

The Great Sage shook his head at first, implying that the national conditions of the Sacrifice Country could not be concealed from Zhenjun Erlang, then he nodded and said, "So, I think Zhenjun Erlang will also make a move."

Ba Jie scratched his head when he heard this, and said to himself: It is rare for Master to be in such a difficult situation, even in the country of daughters, Master was able to turn around openly and leave gracefully.But he didn't want to be in the country of Sacrifice now, but he encountered difficulties.

Although they don't know what these scriptures mean, they can feel their state of mind being cleansed and their souls being sublimated.

The relics may have also sensed the profound Dharma of "Master Sanzang", and they are not stingy with their own brilliance. Even through the Buddhist voice of "Master Sanzang", many golden lotuses were born in mid-air, and then bloomed Buddha's glory and turned into petaled flowers The rain fell into the bodies of the people and melted into them.

"Although they are not from a wealthy family, but at a glance, they are all tenacious students with a promising future."

After finishing speaking, Wu Jing took out the certificate of customs clearance and presented it to His Majesty.

For a moment, everyone panicked.

The so-called top beam is not straight and the bottom beam is crooked, and these ministers in the court were not spared.

If it is from bottom to top, it is often easily cut off in the middle.

But if it's the other way around, from top to bottom, it's really hard to say how much this rope will be involved after it is taken out.

Most of the officials of the imperial court have fallen, how can the rest of the officials still have the mind to attend His Majesty's banquet?
The king also knew that this matter was no small matter, so after entertaining the Tang monk and his disciples for fasting, he stamped the certificate of customs clearance and returned it to Master Sanzang, and sincerely asked: "Why did the holy monk teach me?"
