i turned into a monster

Chapter 20 The First Heavenly Tribulation (Thanks to the leader of Kunnian!)

In the great summer dynasty, the land is vast and abundant, and there are outstanding people.

Outside a small mountain village, there is a gurgling stream, the water is crystal clear, and you can see the pebbles and swimming fish and shrimp below.

By the stream, an old monk wearing a white cassock and holding a Zen staff was sitting on a boulder under the shade of a tree to meditate.

"Master, Master!"

A young monk in gray robes ran from the direction of the mountain village, waved his hands, and shouted happily: "I've turned into a vegetarian, I've turned into a vegetarian!"

The old monk opened his eyes, and a kind smile appeared on his old face.

The little monk came to the front with a black bowl, and said excitedly: "Master, this Great Summer Dynasty is indeed full of outstanding people, and their hearts are kind. The people here are more generous than those in other countries."

The old monk asked with a smile: "It's a good thing that people's hearts are good. What have you turned into?"

The little monk suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and he hesitated and said: "Master, this...we pay attention to fate when we ask for alms. As long as we knock on someone's door, we can't refuse if they are willing to give. What, let's eat the leftovers..."

"That's enough, that's enough, you're still teaching the teacher."

The old monk smiled and waved his hands, and asked, "Then what did they eat today?"

The little monk hesitated for a moment: "Uh...frog porridge."

"Hahaha, what do I think it is? Frog porridge is very good. If the folks eat it, we can eat it too. What we practice in Buddhism is the heart, not the form. As the saying goes, wine and meat pass through the intestines, and good thoughts are in the heart. Keep."

The old monk laughed.

"I understand! Master, please have porridge!" The little monk also smiled happily, and then handed the bowl to the master with both hands.

Let the master eat the fasting meal first. This is a rule, and it is also filial piety.

"En." The old monk nodded in satisfaction, then picked up the bowl and took a shallow sip.

"Master, how does it taste?" The little monk stretched his neck to stare at Master's movement of drinking the porridge, swallowed, and asked expectantly.

The old monk raised his head from the bowl, looked at his apprentice angrily, and scolded with a smile: "Ask what you know!"

"hey-hey……"

The little monk chuckled and scratched his head in embarrassment.

The old monk only drank a few mouthfuls, then handed the alms bowl to the young monk, who happily took the alms bowl and began to drink porridge.

"Master, this porridge is really delicious."

A pure smile bloomed on his face, just like the waves in the brook, shining brightly in the sun...

In the distance, under the shade of an old locust tree at the edge of the village, stood two figures, one red and one green.

The woman in red was fascinated by the little monk in the distance, seeing him smiling, a smile appeared on her face involuntarily, the smile was natural, it looked silly, silly, and beautiful.

"I'm going to lure that old monk away, and you go to meet him?" Master Qinglu touched her shoulder and said in a low voice.

When Mrs. Hong came back to her senses, she withdrew her gaze, the unconscious smile on her face slowly subsided, and then shook her head with complicated eyes.

"no need……"

"He lived happily in this life. I have never seen him show such a pure and natural smile... Let's not bother him."

After finishing speaking, she turned around lonely and walked towards the distance.

"You..." Master Qinglu was startled, and turned to look at her back.

Then he looked back at his former disciple unwillingly, and finally sighed: "Forget it, let's wait for the next life. Human life is short. Even if he has practiced the Tathagata Book, as long as he doesn't become a fairy Buddha, it will only be a few hundred years." lifespan."

"And if he has a great fortune and really becomes a fairy Buddha, he will naturally remember his previous life. At that time... let him choose."

After speaking, he also turned around and left with the woman in red.

At this time, the old monk by the stream glanced over there, with an inscrutable smile on his face.

"Depending on origin and extinction, there is a definite number..."

"Master, what did you say?" The young monk who was sinking his head into the porridge raised his head from the bowl and looked at his master.

"It's nothing."

The old monk smiled.

"Oh."

The little monk bowed his head and continued to drink porridge.

……

Wusha Kingdom is a small country in the southeast of Dongbao Dynasty, and it can be regarded as a subsidiary country of Dongting Kingdom.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Ze has been here for ten years.

He listened to Master Qinglu's words, and came here to guard the legendary fairy weapon.

However, ten years later, the fairy artifact still did not appear, but he did not dare to leave, because it is very likely that he just missed it after leaving for a short time.

Opportunities are for those who are prepared.

In fact, not only him, but also many great monsters with profound morals and even great monks of the human race are squatting in Wusha country.

This small country suddenly became a jumble of fish and dragons.

It is possible to come to a market at random and meet a big monster who has practiced for thousands of years, or a big human monk who has cultivated nine volumes of jade strategies.

In the past ten years, he lived in seclusion in a small town in Wusha country, but he also heard some news about Dongbao country from some business travelers from time to time.

It is said that after Teng Qingqing canceled the Dongyin Academy 14 years ago, she devoted herself to studying hard, and now she has become the well-deserved number one talented woman in the world in Dongbao Kingdom, and her literary name has even spread to several nearby countries.

As for Jiang Siyao, who was originally the second most talented woman in the world and was rumored to be accompanied by a dragon, she went to practice Taoism with a Taoist nun who came from the Eastern Great Xia Dynasty.

It is worth mentioning that.

Teng Qingqing and Jiang Siyao met a few years ago. The two have been friends for a long time, and they hit it off right away and became good friends. Before Jiang Siyao left, the two traveled to many mountains and rivers together.

And as Teng Qingqing's fame spread to the world, his absurd father Teng Gengchen also became famous.

It is said that this old man is over 60 years old now, and he is still old-hearted. He took several concubines and gave birth to four or five children.

It can be regarded as spreading branches and leaves for the Teng family.

Bai Ze guessed that this had something to do with Teng Qingqing's once declaring that he would never marry. Although Teng Gengchen had no great prospects, he was very filial. The so-called unfilialism had three major problems, and he didn't want the Teng family to lose their incense.

In addition to the Teng family, Teng Yuxiu's son Zhong Huaize also had a formal coronation ceremony ten years ago, inheriting the title left by his father Zhong Wulei.

And five years ago.

Dongting Kingdom launched a war against Dongbao Kingdom.

It is said that the old emperor of Dongting Kingdom passed away, and the new emperor came to power. He wanted to send troops to crusade against his uncle Emperor Dongbao, who "conspired to rebel and usurp the country", and regain the territory that originally belonged to the Dongting Dynasty.

At this time, Emperor Dongbao, who was on the battlefield back then, was old and frail, and could no longer wear armor to fight, and the generals of Dongbao Kingdom were unexpectedly unworthy of use.

For a time, the situation was at stake.

In order to prevent the people of Dongbao Kingdom who have been stable for more than ten years from suffering from the war again, Zhong Huaize stood up!
This hereditary Marquis who has been hiding his powers and biding his time for many years, and whose fame has been spread all over the world, unexpectedly showed high martial arts and extraordinary military talents. He took the initiative to invite Yingying to fight against the East Court army.

In this regard, Emperor Dongbao was very pleased.

With a broad mind, he didn't have too much suspicion, but laughed and said, Zhong Wulei has a successor!
Emperor Dongbao used talents in an eclectic manner, and directly let Zhong Huaize enter the battlefield as a partial general.

And his extraordinary bravery and military talent were quickly demonstrated on the battlefield, and his position was also rapidly promoted. In more than a year, he directly became the commander of a legion in the Dongbao Kingdom.

After that, he commanded the army to turn the tide and completely defeated the Dongting Kingdom's aggression.

Two years later, the war ceased.

Dongting Kingdom withdrew its troops and announced that it would not attack Dongbao Kingdom again within a hundred years.

At this time, Zhong Huaize has become the idol of countless soldiers. Many generals in the army look up to him, and the people of the Dongbao Dynasty also regard him as a hero, which is very popular.

Some people even secretly advised him to rebel.

But he didn't have any extra thoughts. Instead, he retreated bravely, voluntarily handed over his military power, and begged Emperor Dongbao to reward him with a large amount of fertile land and fiefs, as well as countless gold, silver and jewels.

Although his mother told him since he was a child, he is the destiny of Ziwei Gaozhao, and he will become a great weapon in the future.

But he never thought about becoming an emperor, because he actually believed in a sentence that his grandfather once said-prosperity, the people suffer, and death, the people suffer.

If he rises up and changes the dynasty, too many people will inevitably die, which will be a disaster for the people of Li.

What's more, Emperor Dongbao has managed Dongbao Kingdom in an orderly manner, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, and the prince has always had a good reputation. He must be a good emperor in the future.

Under such circumstances, how could he take away other people's country for his own selfish desire?And even if it is taken down, can he manage it better than others?

I'm afraid it will be difficult.

That being the case, why not drop your armor and return to the fields, and become a rich man.

And Emperor Dongbao is not without conscience. After he handed over his military power, he immediately gave him a lot of rewards. Not only did he canonize him as a first-class loyal and righteous man, he was hereditary, and he even designated the entire Chunjiang County as his fief. .

The Zhong family became a real rich and powerful family.

Emperor Dongbao also specially asked someone to write a biography for Zhong Huaize, titled "Loyalty Gongzhuan". On the one hand, this move is to praise Zhong Huaize, but there is also another consideration.

This is locking Zhong Huaize.

If the whole world recognizes your name of loyalty, can you still rebel?If you rebel, what kind of loyalty is there?When the time comes, the human setting will collapse, and those who support you will immediately scold you.

In this way, hearts are lost.

Emperor Dongbao's move was a bit conspiratorial, but it was also human nature, after all, one must be on guard against others.

How can you not be cautious when it is about the country and the country?
And he didn't kill the donkey, but gave Zhong Huaize a lot of rewards, so that Zhong Huaize could retire.

Today's Zhong Huaize wants money and money, leisure and leisure, status and status, and can even be famous for thousands of years, which can be regarded as reaching the pinnacle of life.

From a certain point of view, he lived more comfortably than the emperor.

After all, poor Long Live, what can he eat?It's nothing more than milk tea spring rolls, cheese bobo and so on.

"Rumble..."

On this day, thunder suddenly sounded over the small town where Bai Ze lived in seclusion, and then, several small black clouds gathered in a majestic and dignified manner.

Bai Ze looked up and smiled.

The first catastrophe in his life came.

　The catastrophe is coming, so scary!Hurry up and give him a little support and bless him to get through it!
