Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Chapter 385 After all, he is a foreign monk; he has gone through fourteen times of cold and heat

"This place is a prefecture and county under the jurisdiction of Tianzhu, and the place name is Yuhua. But the owner of the city is the royal family of Tianzhu, who is named King Yuhua, so this Yuhua County is also the fiefdom of King Yuhua. King Shixian, respect Monk Dao, love the common people, and now the mage is coming from the east, even my little old man has heard about it, the king thinks he is more prepared, the mage and others will be respected when they go to the city."

The masters and apprentices were not surprised when they heard this.

The atmosphere of Tianzhu Buddha is prosperous, and finally a great monk from the Tang Dynasty came. Not to mention that Master Sanzang even took the initiative to visit, even if they didn't go, they would find ways to invite people in.

The master and apprentice walked slowly.

But the news of Fengxian County spread quickly, and the vision of the gods appearing and the rain falling from the sky has long been spread in Tianzhu.

Fa Hai had a brief chat with the old man, then saluted and thanked him.

The old man returned a salute, and then walked away through the woods.

"Master, this old man is also strange. He obviously doesn't take the road, but he only takes the path in the forest. At such an old age, if something happens, no one will know." Bajie looked at the old man's back, and said He said: "The young and strong in his family are too, how can he let him go out alone?"

The Great Sage smiled and said, "Look at his steps, not to mention his body is as light as a swallow, but he also seems to be walking like flying. He is no ordinary old man, he is clearly the mountain god here, and he is waiting here specially. Presumably, he also wants to see the master Respect."

"Brother Monkey, since you recognized him, why didn't you call him dead?" Bajie paused, and then said: "I think his words are not true, I'm afraid there is something hidden."

The Great Sage looked at Ba Jie twice, nodded and said, "You idiot have improved a bit."

"Eldest brother, I also smelled some evil spirit on him just now, but seeing that master and senior brother ignored it, my younger brother didn't act rashly. Is there any other cares about it?" Xiao Bailong was also a little curious. , I asked the elder brother for advice.

The great sage nodded: "Although it is hidden tightly, there is still some evil spirit in this mountain. There must be goblins living there, and they are the acquaintances of this mountain god."

"Fairy?" Bajie was startled and said immediately, "His mountain god colluded with demons, isn't this a crime against the rules of heaven? Why didn't senior brother arrest him just now?"

"Fairy. Not a demon." The Great Sage corrected it a bit, "This mountain god is not an evil god either. Apart from having a priesthood, he also has merits and virtues. Besides, the demonic aura on him is somewhat pure when he was talking to Master just now. , I have already seen this area, there are no powerful goblins around here, those little goblins are either influenced by Buddhism, or controlled by this mountain god and have no crime of hurting others, at most they can be regarded as mountain spirits, not yet monster."

"In this way, this old man is worried that we will save the little demon in his mountain?" Bajie spread his hands, "Since he knows our reputation, does he still think that we are killing innocent people indiscriminately?"

"Amitabha." Fahai recited the Buddha's name, and said, "Seeing is illusory, let alone just hearing it? He came to see it in person, so he should be at ease. The evil spirit on him is also deliberately tempting."

"Ha." Bajie snorted and said, "He is really bold, and Master is merciful. If you really meet someone who is unreasonable, just rely on his demonic aura to control your good and evil, first eat the Buddha's stick, and receive it." If you can't stop going to reincarnation, if you can hold on, you can talk again."

Fa Hai glanced at Ba Jie, whoever doesn't know is not guilty. And he doesn't have the same knowledge as this idiot.

"Master, the demonic aura of this mountain is indifferent, but when I looked to the north just now, I saw a demonic aura pervading around a hundred miles away. I think there is a powerful demon king there."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bailong immediately asked his master for advice, "Master, are you going to explore the mountains with your disciples?"

"Hold on." Fa Hai waved his nine-ringed tin staff and said, "We've arrived at the county seat ahead, let's go to the city to repair it first, and when we see King Yuhua, you might as well ask him how the situation in that monster mountain is. To bring disaster to one side of the demon king, just come to the door to save him."

"Hehe!" The Great Sage laughed a few times after hearing this, and then said following the master's words: "The goblin who can occupy the mountains and become king in the land of Tianzhu probably has a lot of history. My old grandson looks at it, and it is likely that he will be a king again." Which Immortal Buddha's mount boy came down to earth."

While the master and apprentice were chatting and laughing, they had already entered the city.

The mountain god who became the old man watched their master and apprentice leave all the way from the top of the mountain, and he was relieved at this point.

A huge rock on the side suddenly shook twice, turned into a stone monster and appeared next to the mountain god, and said with a big grin, "I just said that he is a real eminent monk, no, he didn't do anything wrong to our little Po Shanqiu, It seems that you are nervous, and you deliberately tried to test others."

After the stone monster said it, the soft soil under it turned for a while, but a gray-haired rabbit came out from it, and after a flash of demonic light, it turned into a ten-year-old girl with a head There are two rabbit ears on the top, one stands straight up, and the other is half-bent, the little girl jumped into the stone monster's arms, found a comfortable position, and said to the mountain god: "Grandpa mountain god, you You should invite them to stay for a cup of tea, and then ask them about some profound cultivation methods."

The mountain god said, "Our talents are limited, so what's the use of learning some advanced techniques? Do you two still want to become immortals?"

The stone monster thought for a while and said, "Of course I want to, who doesn't want to become a fairy?"

The little girl also nodded repeatedly and said, "I want to go to the Moon Palace and become a Jade Rabbit."

The stone monster quickly echoed, "Then I will go to the Moon Palace as land."

The mountain god glanced at them: Look at how promising you are?
"Tianzhu doesn't need to go abroad." The mountain god told them a few words, saying: "As long as you keep yourself safe and don't do things that harm the heavens and principles, your life will be safe. If you can do good deeds every day, you can also accumulate blessings. a happy ending."

"Since Grandpa Mountain God's words are not true, why did you have to be so afraid of Sanzang master and apprentice before?"

"After all, they are foreign monks, very different from the local monks in Tianzhu." The mountain god said in a deep voice, "You two have been incarnate for a long time, have you ever heard of a monk who killed life?"

The two immediately stopped talking.

The precept of killing is the first Buddhist precept.

And how many monsters did Master Sanzang kill along the way?

How many monsters died because of him in the Flame Mountain and Shituoling?

But even so, he is still recognized as an eminent monk in the Three Realms. Apart from being on guard, the mountain god really wants to see this eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty with his own eyes.

After seeing it now, I only say in my heart: the reputation is well-deserved.

What a Yuhua state.

The master and apprentice took five steps to the street beside the city to watch. It was really crowded and very prosperous. The business was booming.

"Master Sanzang is here!"

There were some monks who had seen Master Sanzang in the previous city, and they were waiting here. When they saw their master and disciple, they immediately exclaimed, "Master Sanzang is here!"

After this shout, the originally bustling street fell silent for a moment, followed by ten times the uproar.

Everyone came to watch, and the master and apprentice generously let them watch.

Because they knew the appearance of Master Sanzang and his disciples, even if they saw the appearance of Wukong and Bajie at this moment, everyone was not afraid. They only said that Master Sanzang was really profound in Buddhism and could transform such demon gods as disciples under his sect.

Even a little courageous, they deliberately moved closer to Bajie and the Great Sage.

Bajie teased on purpose: "Don't call, don't call, don't you have an eminent monk here who conquers dragons and subdue tigers? But you come to wait around me?"

The Great Sage smiled at the side, "Perhaps I have never seen a pig and a monkey.".
Everyone saw Sanzang's master and apprentice being easy-going and close to the people, without airs at all, they were able to joke around and laugh aloud for a while, and felt that they were getting closer to each other.

Some people even began to compare secretly in their hearts, saying that those local eminent monks living deep in Buddhist temples, how could there be such a scene?
Ordinarily, not to mention the last meeting, it is to go to the temple to pay homage. If there is no big incense, there will be no luck.

Master Sanzang stopped for a while, helped up a child who had rushed over from the crowd but fell to the ground, and asked him, "Where are your parents?"

The child rubbed his arms, pointed back, and said, "They are behind, it's not as easy as mine to slip through the cracks."

Master Sanzang lifted him up, dragged him casually, and saw a stream of Buddha's light resting on him, and sent him directly to his parents, and said: "Everyone, don't crowd, pay attention to the children under your feet, don't accidentally hurt yourself."

After everyone heard this, the people who had stumbled all over the street calmed down one after another, and they did not move rashly anymore.

"Quiet! Be quiet!"

At this time, the city gate order was able to squeeze in to maintain order. The leader bowed to Master Sanzang and said, "The people admire your Dharma, and the Master laughs at you."

"The poor monk will stay in Yuhua state for a few more days. In addition to discussing Buddhism with the local eminent monks, he will also give lectures. As for when and where, please wait until the poor monk has met King Yuhua. There is a plan."

"I'll be waiting." Everyone said in unison.

call--

Seeing that the "turmoil" had finally subsided, the gatekeeper let out a sigh of relief, and said to Venerable Sanzang, "Qiantui had ordered him to go directly to the palace when Venerable Sanzang arrived. Shicai has already sent someone to report to the palace."

Fahai didn't refuse his kindness, and followed the city gate order to go to the palace.

After crossing the suspension bridge and entering the city gate, you can see restaurants and song halls on the street, which are bustling and bustling. Compared with the street market outside the city, it is different, and it shows the atmosphere of a big city.

Such a city can be ranked even in Datang.

Wujing had recorded the customs of this place a long time ago, and when he returned to Chang'an in the future, he also asked the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to look at the three worlds. In addition to the Central Plains China, there is also such a large and rich place.

However, this alone cannot be called the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.

Before arriving at the gate of Yuhua Palace, three princes had already come to meet him from afar. The eldest prince who was the leader was very calm, and he clasped his fists and saluted from a distance, saying: "Mage came from a long way, and the little king welcomes you from afar. I hope you will forgive me." .”

After the meeting, there was another round of greetings.

The eldest prince said: "Father is old and his legs and feet are not very convenient, so I specially asked the three brothers Xiao Wang to welcome them."

"Amitabha." Fa Hai made another Buddha salute.

After entering the palace, there are Changshi Mansion, Trial Hall, Dining Hall, and Hospitality Hall on the left and right of the gate.

When Bajie and Wujing saw the word "hospitality for guests", they were about to put their salutes in. The eldest prince quickly grabbed the two of them and explained to the puzzled eyes of the master and apprentice: "Father, the king has already paid for the elders. Prepared a quiet courtyard..."

Everyone did not refuse.

When he arrived at the place where he was staying, after packing up the salutes, Fa Hai said to the eldest prince, "It's time to see the prince."

In the past, when I went to meet those lords, the master went alone, and the disciples did not intend to follow this time, but the eldest prince went to invite the brothers of the Great Sage: "I also invite the elders to go with me, father. The king has ordered Dian Shan to prepare a banquet and serve it immediately."

Bajie liked to hear this the most, so he was the first to get up and walk to the master, ready to go with him.

The master and disciples followed the three princes and walked further in. They saw the ceremony official greeted him with a smile and said: "I have seen the three highnesses, Master Sanzang, and the prince is a thousand years old, and the officials are here to welcome you. Please——"

Entered the palace gate.

Fahai first opened his mouth and said: "Sanzang, the monk who was sent by the Eastern Tang Dynasty to Da Leiyin to worship the Buddha and learn from the scriptures, is now in Guizhou, and wants to change the Guanwen, so he is here to visit Qiansui."

"Master, you don't need to be polite! Please sit down quickly." King Yuhua watched from the throne above, seeing the majestic appearance of the Master Sanzang, his heart became more and more happy, and asked the maids around him to lead the master and apprentice to the seat.

The three princes also sat opposite to accompany them.

He also asked someone to fetch the Guan Wen, and King Yuhua opened it from the beginning and read it carefully to the end. When he saw the seals of various countries, he sighed in his heart: "If you are not an eminent monk, you will definitely not be able to make it this far."

Thinking in his heart, he took his treasure seal, printed a chapter on the last page, stamped the Chinese characters, folded it on the table and put it on the tray, asked the courtiers to return it to Master Sanzang, and asked: " Dharma Master Sanzang has traveled all over the world since the Tang Dynasty, how far has it traveled?"

"The Bodhisattva once said that from Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty to Lingshan is a total of [-] miles. Now the poor monk has arrived in Yuhua Prefecture, and then there is Lingshan."

"Amitabha." King Yuhua recited the Buddha's name on it, and couldn't help but said, "Master must have gone through untold hardships on this journey, right?"

Fa Hai thought for a while, and said, "It's not hard work, just take one step at a time, and go through the cold and heat [-] times."

Fa Hai thinks about it now, although there are some difficulties along the way, they have all solved them smoothly, so compared to those monsters blocking the way, it is better to say that the 14 years of learning from their masters and apprentices The road is more memorable.

After chatting in the palace, King Yuhua invited them to have a meal in the back garden of the palace.

Not long after eating, King Yuhua said: "Master Sanzang, I have a private matter here, and I am about to entrust it to you. I hope the eminent monk will listen to you."

"My lord, it doesn't matter."

"The three lonely dogs don't like to read books, they are good at martial arts all their lives, but they can't wield knives and sticks all day long, but they can't do it well." King Yuhua was still a little embarrassed, "Because I heard that the master has more abilities than Buddhism. I wonder if I can also take the three of them under my door?"
