Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Chapter 307

"The people are the foundation of the state, and the foundation is the foundation of the state."

Fa Hai is not proficient in the way of governing the country, but he is not ignorant.

What's more, he was born in Zhao Song Dynasty, and then he got this opportunity to travel to this world, and at this time he inherited what Master Sanzang got, which can make some sense.

These eight characters are the ruling philosophy of Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

The so-called monarch depends on the country, and the country depends on the people.

Carving the people to serve the emperor is like cutting flesh to fill their stomachs. When the stomach is full, they die, and when the emperor becomes rich, the country perishes.

As for how much the lord in front of him can understand from it, it is beyond Fa Hai's control. However, many high-ranking officials in the court surrendered themselves, and there are still many headaches.

Simple eight words, easier said than done.

"The poor monk can recommend a person for His Majesty. If you get the help of this great sage, it will not be difficult to survive this calamity safely."

The former criminal monk of Jinguang Temple was expelled from his monk registration by the new abbot of Fulong Temple and sent to a big prison.

All the monarchs and ministers of Jisai Kingdom, together with the common people and the serious monks of Fulong Temple, sent Master Sanzang and his party out of the city.

"Everyone, please come back."

"The widow wants to send the holy monk twenty miles away."

"Your Majesty, please get off the sedan chair and see you off on foot." The Great Sage joked beside him, "Otherwise, the Buddha thought it was the bearer who sent my master for twenty miles."

His Majesty blushed immediately, and got off the sedan chair at that time, saying: "The little elder is right, it is the widow who lacked consideration and made a mistake."

When Fahai was about to refuse, he paused suddenly, turned his body sideways, looked behind the crowd, and saw Mr. Ziyu who was nodding to him, so he said to the king of Jisai Kingdom: "Your Majesty does not need to send the poor. The monk is twenty miles away, just wait until His Majesty feels tired, how about it?"

The lord of the country was overjoyed, and said: "It's my wish to see you off all the way, so it's not far or near. Holy monk, please——!"

"Please."

The lord of the country was the only son of the first emperor. He was well-clothed and well-fed since he was a child. This really made him go. After walking for about three and a half miles, he stopped.

It's not that he has reached his limit, as Fa Hai said before, he felt that his feet were a little tired, so he stopped there and said to Master Sanzang: "When you send the king thousands of miles away, you will have to say goodbye. I will send the holy monk here, and I will also bless the holy monk." This trip to the west has been smooth and smooth, and success will come soon."

Not only offering sacrifices to the King of the Sai Kingdom, but also the subjects and the monks who came to see him off from Fulong Temple all returned to the city together.

There was an episode during the period, it was these monks from Fulong Temple who wanted to go to Lingshan together. They either wanted to go to Lingshan to worship Buddha, or they simply wanted to serve Master Sanzang on the way.

But Bajie frightened him away and said: "The road is full of monsters and ghosts blocking the way. If my master leads you, he still has to protect you from being harmed by monsters and powerful people. If this is the case, when will we arrive at Lingshan? My master delayed the journey, can you bear it?"

Because Ba Jie's face is the ugliest, and when he speaks, he deliberately pretends to be a monster, and his tone is even more ferocious, which scares all the monks back.

"Master, why did you promise the lord to give you a ride?"

"It was requested by Mr. Ziyu." Fahai bowed to the Buddha with one hand, and said, "Ziyu told me that he had no intention of becoming an official in the country of Jisai, but the government was shocked when the poor monk taught the scriptures in the country. If you don't act, you may mess up the government, and it will be the people who will suffer when the time comes, so he will take this matter into account."

"But what does that have to do with the country lord sending you out of the city?"

"It seems that Mr. Ziyu is an extraordinary human race. He has been invited by the Jade Emperor to leave Huoyun Cave to preach. If he is good at ruling a country in the world, it is also against the law of heaven." Fa Hai said helplessly: " But this kind of situation, it is not without the method of resolution, it is the way it is now, it is all the way of heaven, so it is, even the way of heaven will acquiesce."

The Great Sage was thoughtful, and said: "Could it be said that how far the king can send the master is the fate between him and Mr. Ziyu?"

"Even if it doesn't hit, it's not far away."

In fact, this is the fate between the king and Fahai, and Mr. Ziyu was recommended by Fahai. In this way, it is to use the fate between the king and Fahai as a bridge to ask Mr. Ziyu to resolve the sacrifice. The difficulty of racing the country.

Just like when Mr. Ziyu fell into the mortal world, he went to Che Chi State, this is the fate between him and Che Chi State. Therefore, he served as Prime Minister of Che Chi State for a year, and then left after the expiration.

Otherwise, it would not be a blessing for Che Chiguo, but a disaster instead.

Although the human way and the way of heaven coexist in the Three Realms today, the way of heaven still dominates after all.

The lord of the country sent the "Master Sanzang" for three and a half miles, but he didn't know how many years he could keep Mr. Ziyu.

Fahai looked at Mr. Ziyu for the last time, and saw that he was relaxed and didn't have any embarrassment, so he knew that just relying on the fate of "three and a half miles" was enough for him to sort out the affairs of Jisai Kingdom.

It is precisely because Mr. Ziyu took over that Fahai was able to leave with peace of mind.

Just like when he handed over the affairs of Gaochang Kingdom to Zhenjun Erlang.

Professional matters should be handled by professional people. Compared with changing dynasties, governing the country is obviously more suitable for Fahai to subdue demons and eliminate demons.

Not to mention the layman, it is the insider doing things, sometimes because of some mistakes, things will lead to another direction.
And these are exactly what Fahai himself has experienced.

It is precisely he, the great mage who subdues demons and eliminates demons, but in the end he has become a demon
The five masters and apprentices went west.

It is just that the time sequence changes, and it is seen that the winter is late and the spring is coming, it is neither warm nor cold, and it is just a leisurely journey.

Since leaving the ceremony, the master and apprentice of Saiguo have become more and more at ease.

The powerful monsters around Yu Jilei Mountain were also wiped out, and the rest are some mountain spirits, let alone harming people. I am afraid that I will encounter a more powerful hunter, and I have to be careful of my own life.

Xiaobailong was one step ahead of the others, exploring the way ahead, he watched from a high altitude and saw a mountain ridge, which was blocking the westbound road, so he rode a cloud to watch.

The mountains are long and endless, and it can be said that the earth is far away from the sky, with condensed smoke and rain, and the mountains are full of green covers.

Looking from a high place, I don’t know where to go when I look at it from a distance; when I lower the cloud head, it looks like a green cloud when I look closely.
Seeing that the path is narrow and difficult to walk, with thorns on both sides of the path, the little white dragon transformed into a little white snake and escaped into it, there is no taboo.

After walking for a while, Xiaobailong explored the mountain. Although it is a mountain with thorns and thorns, there are also pines, cypresses, and bamboos in it, and there are many plums, willows, and mulberries.The radishes wrap around the old trees, the vines wrap around the weeping poplars, just.
The little white snake turned into a human form, a spear appeared in its hand, and said: "Monster! The third prince of Xihai, Ao Lie, is here, and he has not shown his original shape!"

When Fa Hai and the other three disciples were about to go beyond the mountain, they saw the little white dragon falling towards them, and said: "Master, there is a mountain ahead, called Thorn Ridge, and the road is on the top of the mountain."

"The thorns and forks on the mountain are surrounded by weeds. Although there are traces of the road, there are thorns and needles on the left and right. When the disciples came here to clear the road, they also attracted a group of spirits. They said that they have admired the style of the master for a long time. I would like to invite Master to come as a guest."

"Oh?" Fahai laughed and said, "I've never seen spirits who want to invite poor monks as guests before. Since they have the desire to be teachers, I will meet them."

Obviously, Fa Hai wanted to see what kind of ghost it was that dared to be so bold.

"Hehe." The Great Sage laughed and said, "Perhaps the elves know how powerful Master is, and dare not take him into captivity. This time, they used tricks instead."

"Using tricks?" Bajie babbled out a sentence from the side: "Master is not even afraid of the beauties of the Lord of Xiliang, he is afraid of them."

As he was speaking, he suddenly felt his neck froze, and subconsciously glanced at the master, but saw that the master's expression was as usual, there was nothing unusual, and he didn't mean to blame, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, I have met them before, and although the few leaders saw that their mana is normal, they have a bit of character. It's just that some little demons are rude, but they must be mentally incompetent and reckless in nature." Xiao Bailong had just seen this man The tree spirits of Thorn Ridge, the first impression is good.

Xiao Bailong led his master to the bottom of the mountain, and saw four old men waiting outside.

There is no need for Xiao Bailong to introduce him, the four of them will come up first to pay respects, the old man at the head is looking like a fairy, if he is an ordinary person, he might kneel in front of him and call him an old fairy.

But Fa Hai was different, he could tell their real bodies at a glance, and the Great Sage was no exception.

The old man in the lead spoke first: "The old clumsy nickname is Jin Jie, and all the fellow Taoists call the old man the Eighteenth Duke."

Then there was a Taoist with a beautiful appearance, and he also practiced Taoist etiquette, "The poor Taoist is lonely and straight."

Then he stretched out his hand to lead to the two people beside him, and said, "Ling Kongzi, old man Fuyun."

If this kind of serious ghosts were not evil people, Fa Hai would not have screamed and killed them when he saw them. Moreover, they only need one chance, and they all have the possibility to become immortals.

They are all old demons who have practiced for thousands of years.

"Poor monk Tang Sanzang."

"Long-awaited, long-awaited—!" Si Weng hastily cupped his hands.

"Holy Monk, please come in first."

"Please."

Shiba Gong stretched out his hand, and the thorns that originally covered the mountain road retreated, revealing a wide road.

"Great Sage." Because the Eighteenth Duke was accompanying the "Dharma Master Sanzang", Guzhi Gong fell on the side of the Great Sage, and said with a smile: "I have heard about the great sage's reputation for a long time, but now that I see it, it is really extraordinary."

When people praise themselves, the Great Sage is naturally not to be negligent, and replied with a smile: "Although my old grandson has never met you before, but now receiving your hospitality, it is considered a friendship. I think you are all spirits, but Why don't you practice witchcraft, and only practice some basic formulas after thousands of years of Taoism?"

"Worthy of being a great sage, you can see our details at a glance." Gu Zhigong sighed, and said: "I am an ordinary plant that has been transformed by spiritual energy. Where can there be any demonic inheritance? In the past, I practiced only through Instinctively absorb the aura of the heavens and the earth and the essence of the stars and the moon. It is the basic Taoism of this kind of practice, and it was also the seven sages who traveled here during the Wei and Jin Dynasties in the Middle Kingdom in the past. When they discussed the Tao, I waited and listened to it."

"So that's how it is." Hearing this, the Great Sage stopped talking.

That is to say, the natural thorns of this thorny mountain protect them, otherwise, with their identities as the spirits of plants and trees, they are all rare spiritual materials in the world of practice, whether it is refining weapons or alchemy, they can be sent Useful.

It is their luck that they can practice till now.

After traveling a hundred miles inward, I saw an open space. There was a stone tablet on the road. There were three big characters on it, which read "thorn ridge"; In ancient times, there were roads and few people walked.”

When Bajie saw it, he smiled and said, "Master, why are there [-] miles everywhere? First, there is Huangfengling, which is [-] miles away, and then Brother Sha's Liusha River is [-] miles away, and the Tongtian River is also [-] miles away. The mountain is still [-] miles away"

After all, Wujing was an honest person, and he retorted: "The Haoshan Mountain that surrendered to Honghaier is only six hundred miles away, and the Heishui River is only ten miles wide?"

Bajie snorted, and instead of arguing with Wujing, he just smiled at Ling Yunzi beside him: "That means you guys come early to welcome them and back away from the thorns, otherwise the foundation of your protection along the way will be destroyed by the old pig." With one hand and one palladium, I embraced them all."

Xiao Bailong, who was walking at the end, listened to the words of the second senior brother, and said seriously: "If this is the case, I will write a few sentences under this stone tablet. Fortunately, senior brother can break through, and go straight to the west road."

"Good poem, good poem." Bajie nodded, but shook his head after a while and said, "Not right, not right."

Old Man Fuyun asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

He didn't care about Bajie's offensive words.

Bajie looked serious, "If you only write the word "Senior Brother", who would know that I am the old pig?"

The Great Sage listened for a long time, and saw that what he cared about was actually the matter of "retaining a name", so he turned around and pinched his ear, and said with a smile: "You idiot, do you want to change the word "Senior Brother" into Bajie? Ke——!"

Seeing their senior brothers fighting like this, the four old tree spirits obviously relaxed a lot from their initial worries.

After passing the road stele, we walked for a while, the golden crow fell into the sea, and the jade rabbit and the jade plate.

When the crowd walked outside an ancient temple, the Eighteenth Duke stopped and said to Master Sanzang, "This place is where we transformed ourselves. The seven sages also talked about Taoism here."

Everyone looked at it, and they saw that there were pines and cypresses congealed green. Although the place had been abandoned for a long time, it also condensed a spirit of mountain spirit.

"Now we have another family business." Shiba Gong smiled, stretched out his hand to the back of the temple, and said, "Please—"

The crowd followed along, crossed a small path, and came to a hazy stone house. The three big characters "Muxian Temple" on the door also pointed out their footsteps.

These eighteen males are pine trees, Guzhi male is a cypress tree, Ling Kongzi is a juniper tree, Fuyun old man is a bamboo pole——

But Fa Hai only took a brief look at this place, and he knew that the spirits in the mountains were definitely not the remaining spirits of the four of them hiding aside but not showing up, but Fa Hai became more and more interested in them.

"Everyone, how about going to the small nunnery for a cup of tea?"

When Bajie heard this, he immediately became unhappy, and said bluntly: "You and these old tree spirits are really out of touch. They said that they invited Master to be a guest, but they only invited him to drink tea. I have walked all the way, old pig. At this moment But the stomach is empty."

It is also because they have practiced for thousands of years, and they are the essence of plants and trees, so they are naturally born with bigu.

But the Bajie is different, even if one is successful in practice, the appetite is like a bottomless pit, otherwise there is no need to carry this big pot and kitchen utensils all the way west.
