Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Chapter 376 Poor monk Tang Sanzang; wait for the poor monk to go to Lingshan, and ask the Buddha for advice
Of course there is no hindrance.

This group of thieves was also under the surveillance of the shop owner Wang Xiaoer, and letting them drive straight in this time is precisely to catch a turtle in a urn.

Moreover, the shop owner also wanted to test the skills of these few people. If they were really masters of the Tang Dynasty, these twenty or thirty villains would definitely not be their opponents.

But if they can't even pass this level, how can they survive the dangers and difficulties between Datang and this place?
And their identity is true or false, it is not so important.

The door was rushed open, and the customers in the store closed the doors and windows one after another, hiding in the room and shivering, thinking to themselves: How can there be gangsters who dare to commit crimes in the capital?

Because there are waiters in the store leading the way, they don't disturb the ordinary customers, how much money do they have?

The master and servant from Tang Dynasty is the living God of Wealth.

The thief rushed directly to the second floor, and the store owner Wang Xiaoer gave a wink to the outside, indicating that the ambushing men around should be ready to attack at any time, so as not to hurt innocent people.

It is also because the time is too tight to transfer the guests, otherwise the owner Wang Xiaoer wants to replace all the guests staying in the store with his own swordsmen, so as to be safe.

However, in some empty rooms, there are also many men hiding at the moment, and when they fight, they will try their best to resolve the battle with the fastest speed and the least cost.

Bang!
The door of Datang's master and servant's room was kicked open.

The owner of the store, Wang Xiaoer, heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and raised his hands high. If there is any movement, he will take his hands under his command.

Then his hand was raised all the time, and never dropped.
Because after the sound of kicking the door, there was no other sound from the second floor.

Not to mention the sound of begging for help, or the sound of begging for mercy, even the sound of fighting was not heard, which is obviously even more wrong.

Driven by curiosity, the owner Wang Xiaoer stepped up to the second floor. Seeing that the door of Mr. Chen's room was open, he walked forward cautiously, listened for a while, and quickly probed when there was no sound in the room. , and then shrink back.
If there were other people around him, he would definitely be able to see the change in his expression.

From cautious to horrified, to bewildered, and now to an unbelievable appearance——it was as if he had hit a ghost.

When he stuck his head out just now, he saw a total of 28 gangsters, including the three insiders in the shop, none of them could stand up, and they all fell to the ground, life or death unknown.

And at the moment when he retracted his head, he was looking at the eight eyes of the master and servant.

The owner Wang Xiaoer took a step forward, bowed his hands to everyone in the room, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm next."

"The gangsters committed crimes and were stunned by us here." Although Fahai learned the details of the shop owner Wang Xiaoer from the Great Sage, he did not wait for him to reveal his identity, and said first: "I wonder if the shop owner can arrest the officers and soldiers?" Invite them, send them to prison for questioning?"

The shopkeeper Wang Xiaoer was blocked, so he had to answer the gentleman first: "The villain has already reported to the official when he came up, and there must be a response soon."

The two sides had a tacit understanding, the owner Wang Xiaoer saw that the other party gave him a step, so he naturally borrowed the donkey to go down the slope and did not stay on the second floor.

Although everyone was puzzled, they all followed the order and retreated separately, and did not get entangled here.

Not long after, people from the Wucheng Division came to the door. They obviously got the news in advance, but they just took the gang of thieves away, and then asked the shopkeeper and Fa Hai about the incident before leaving first. Too much trouble here.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning.

Then a big eunuch came to invite him in person.

The owner of the shop, Wang Xiaoer, hastily knocked on the door of the husband's room, but he never expected that a monk in a red cassock came out from the door.

"oops!"

The owner of the shop, Wang Xiaoer, let out a cry, and his heart, which was not originally peaceful, suddenly set off a storm.

This... how could this happen?
No matter how much he thought about it, he would never have imagined that yesterday night he was a scribe with a sword, but this morning he turned into a mage who kept the precepts.

"Amitabha." Fahai recited the Buddha's name, and explained to the owner Wang Xiaoer: "The poor monk Tang Sanzang is a monk who is going to the Lingshan Mountain in the West to learn scriptures. He passed by your country yesterday. The king's order to kill monks, so I disguised myself."

The owner of the shop, Wang Xiaoer, said with a wry smile, "Masters should just pretend to be the last one, why bother to show their real body now?"

The great sage at the side said: "My master disguised himself yesterday because he was afraid of causing unnecessary twists and turns. Today, he returned to his true form as a monk because my master is the younger brother of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and traveled all the way west to the Great Leiyin Temple in Lingshan, Tianzhu. Now, as an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, I want to meet the head of your family."

The shop owner Wang Xiaoer signaled Master Sanzang to wait, hurried downstairs, and quickly explained the whole story to the "angel" in the palace.

Even if these words are too listening, it is one head and two big. But he still gave the shop owner Wang Xiaoer a hard look. If he hadn't said that a great Confucian from China had come to the shop, how could he have called His Majesty in the palace to face him? Intent to ask for advice?

But he thought about it again, and said to himself: No matter what, no matter what, since he is the younger brother of the Tang king and the envoy of the West, since he comes to his country, he can't avoid it no matter what.

Thinking of this, the eunuch said in a deep voice: "Since you are an eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty, please come out and enter the palace with our family."

There was a fast horse who went back to the palace first to report.

The early court had already ended, and the lord of the country was reviewing the memorials in the imperial study, a young eunuch walked in quickly, explained the identity of Chen Yi and Sanzang, and waited for His Majesty's instructions.

When the king first heard this, he also felt a little weird, but he didn't get angry because of it.

After thinking for a while, he had a plan in mind, and said to the little eunuch: "After they enter the palace, they will be led directly to the imperial study."

"Here."

The little eunuch agreed, turned around and walked out of the imperial study room, and closed the door, and went to the palace gate to wait quietly.

The lord of the country is not a murderer, and the reason why he uses the Buddhist temple to perform surgery is also because the behavior of these monks in the country is too much, which has exceeded his bottom line.

Not to mention anything else, but after the Buddha was exterminated, the property and land deeds copied from various monasteries were actually richer than the king who claimed to be the lord of a country.Far many times more than those detected by his spies.

It's also that they are too unreasonable.

If only some incense money was collected, the king would turn a blind eye and close his eyes. After all, in the Buddhist land of Xizhou, monks and Buddhist temples should be treated more or less favorably by all countries.

But often it is their virtues that cannot bear the weight of a country at all, and in the end each has their own retribution.

Not to mention that the Buddhist temples and other countries that have taken the initiative to collude with such sheltering bandits may not have the courage, but the king who destroyed France obviously cannot tolerate sand in his eyes, otherwise he would be sorry for the "Shen Zi" left by the old prime minister .

Shenzi was one of the hundreds of sages in the Warring States period. He learned Huang Lao's moral skills in his early years and made a lot of money.Shenzi is knowledgeable about Jiangji, studied everything in his studies, studied the Five Classics, and became one of the founders of Legalism in the Warring States Period. He once gave lectures at Jixia Academy in Qi State and enjoyed a high reputation.

Because of his deep knowledge of Taoism, he is called "Taoist Legalist".

But no matter what, his legalist studies are enough to be regarded as classics of sages in places like Western Continents like France. Although the ruler of the country has many dislikes, he still loves this book.

The ruler of the country did not intend to target the Buddhist monks, but the Buddhist temples in the country were arrogant, and asked him to mobilize the power of the country and suppress them.

It is an upright legal action, not a monarch's nature.

This is what he learned from "Shen Zi".

The Buddhist temples are just the first step in his operation. If he really wants to make the country rich and the people strong, he is still far from eradicating these superficial Buddhist temples.

He thought that he could learn some knowledge about governing the country from this gentleman from Tang Dynasty, but he didn't expect Mr. Confucianism to become a Buddhist mage.

After all, there is no harm in meeting a character from China.

It turned out that Fa Hai was alone, and several of his disciples stayed in the inn.

"Poor Monk Tang Sanzang, I have met Your Majesty." Fa Hai was still polite as always, greeting people first.

Looking at the Dharma Master Tripitaka below, the Lord of the First Kingdom said in his heart: If he really looks like an eminent monk, although he does not know the truth of his Buddhism, but based on his temperament, he must be a Buddhist great virtue.

Naturally, there is no need to describe Master Sanzang's appearance and temperament. Only evil monsters would suspect that he is a demon monk along the way.

"Master, please sit down." The lord stretched out his hand and motioned for Master Sanzang to take his seat. After Master Sanzang took his seat, he asked, "I heard that the Master was ordered by the Emperor of Tang to go to Tianzhu to worship Buddha. Have you ever seen him during this journey?" A country like mine?"

"Everyone is different, and each country is different." Fa Hai smiled at the king: "When I passed Zhenhai Chanlin Temple before, I also heard that the Buddhist temple in the poor woman country colluded with bandits, and it has almost become a practice. It's just that in their country Life and death, but Your Majesty has his own strategy, and he can be called a hero if he dares to do it."

Fa Hai recognized the deeds of the sovereign.

Not all kings dare to destroy Buddha, let alone this is Xizhou.

The lord of the country was very pleasantly surprised when he heard Master Sanzang praise him. There are many Buddhist temples in his country, and there are not a few so-called eminent monks, but what are they talking about?
It is nothing more than spreading kindness, eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha, giving incense and incense. To be a benevolent king who loves the people, etc.
The king does not deny the point of spreading kindness widely. All the people in the country are his subjects. No need to be told by others, he will naturally love them.

He did the same.

Buddhist temples colluded with bandits to harm the common people, so they were destroyed.

Then the monks in the Buddhist temple said that he was a cruel and unbearable tyrant, and that he would go to hell after death if he committed this kind of killing karma.

Just now, when he asked this eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty, he was already mentally prepared to be lectured, but he did not expect that such a remark was made, and it was not deliberately flattering. The eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty spoke very naturally, as if he was evaluating a An ordinary thing.

With just one sentence, most of the depression accumulated in his heart since the extermination of Buddha dissipated. At this moment, he couldn't help but want to laugh a few times!

But the king of his country, when the old prime minister taught him, he once said that he would not show his emotions in front of others, so he remained calm.

The king was looking at Sanzang, and Fa Hai was also looking at him. He saw that the king could hold his own heart and not be moved by others, so he nodded secretly.

At the very least, it must be above Ji Sai Nation.

Amitabha. There are too many outstanding people in the land of Xizhou. Fortunately, the land is vast and rich, and there are various dangerous passes between countries, otherwise there will be chaos sooner or later.

Just like when Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms back then, are the Six Kingdoms really too weak?

Maybe Qin is too strong.

The king suddenly thought of a piece of information that came not long ago, and asked Master Sanzang for advice: "I heard that in the poor woman country, after just a few days, all the bandits were sent to prison under the protection of Buddhist temples. They have all been punished by the law. Even if they dare not give criminal names in other countries, there are even two Buddhist protectors who will imprison those lawless monks in the downtown area, point out their crimes, and punish them in public."

"Dare to ask this matter. Does the mage know?"

Fahai clasped his hands together: "This generation who has tarnished the reputation of Buddhism deserves retribution. Moreover, the poor monk became a monk since he was a child. He was conferred by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty as the leader of the monks in the world, and he was the head of the monks. Eliminate the evil deeds of the Three Realms. Therefore, when I passed Zhenhai Chanlin Temple, I heard about the poor country, so I sent two disciples to punish them."

The king was even more surprised when he heard this, and said in his heart: Is this what a monk really looks like?

He touched the "Shen Zi" by his hand, and said in his heart: Sure enough, the people of the Celestial Dynasty are far from being comparable to me in the small area of ​​Xizhou.

Then doubts arose in his mind, and with the upright and upright Master Sanzang, he asked directly: "Since the Master has this Dharma, why did he travel thousands of miles to Xizhou to learn the scriptures?"

"Because there are scriptures in Xizhou, after all, Lingshan is a great place for Buddha, so I should go to pay homage. Besides, Your Majesty has an order, so it is a duty to do so."

"The monks in our country's Buddhist temples only know how to chant scriptures behind closed doors. How can there be a mage in the slightest?" The lord sighed and said, "I heard that the mage entered the city in disguise last night. It must be because of my widow's order."

"Because at night, if you dress up as a monk and go into the city, you may cause many disputes, so this is the worst policy."

"Since the mage pretends to be a scribe, he must also be proficient in the Confucian classics of China?" The king's eyes brightened slightly.

"I dare not claim to be proficient. I have dabbled in all four books and five classics, but only in "Gongyang Chunqiu", I have gained a little."

"Central Plains culture, I have longed for it for a long time, but unfortunately the journey is far away. I don't know if I will be lucky enough to hear the Confucian holy words?"

"Amitabha." Fahai recited the Buddha's name and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is not afraid of a poor monk, an ordinary monk, who is good at preaching Confucian scriptures and messing up grammar, so the poor monk can express some simple opinions."

"Great kindness!" The king stepped down from the top, let the left and right retreat, met each other with the courtesy of disciples, and was about to ask Master Sanzang about Confucianism.

But before that, he still explained, "The widow said that he wanted to kill four famous monks. In fact, he didn't care about Qinghong's non-indiscriminate killing. He wanted to spread the word and tell the monks to stay away from our country. As the king of a country, but sitting high in the temple, it is really difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the monks in the rivers and lakes. If there is any offence, I hope Master Haihan."

After finishing speaking, the lord of the country asked cautiously: "Will the actions of the widow anger the Buddha?"

"Amitabha."

Fahai recited the Buddha's name, and said with a smile: "Isn't it the bandits who caused disasters and the Buddhist temple that sheltered the bad guys who offended the Buddha? If your majesty is worried that the Buddha will be angry with him because of this, then wait for the poor monk to go to the Lingshan Mountain, and on behalf of your majesty, I will express my gratitude to the Buddha. Ask for advice, when you pass by your country after learning the scriptures, you should give His Majesty a letter of approval."

The king was shocked when he heard the words!
This one in front of me, what kind of monk is this? !

　Bandits.

　　Predators and killers, like tigers and leopards in the mountains, like ghosts in the underground, are feared by the common people, hated by the common people, hate their cruelty, and fear their dominance!

　　Immortal.

　　Those who have attained the Tao and become immortals can rise to the top and turn the world upside down. The world calls them immortals, admiring their freedom and envying their chicness.

　　And I am both a Bandit and an Immortal, for... an Immortal Bandit!
