Journey to the West, one of the fist saints

Chapter 9 To Dream
"According to the decree of Haotian, Jinque, Supreme, Natural, Mira, and True Jade Emperor, the Dragon King of Jinghe will make clouds and spread rain tomorrow. Clouds will be spread at the hour of the day, thunder will be thundered at the same time, it will rain at noon, and the rain will stop at the end of the day. It will rain three feet Three inches and 48 o'clock... This is it! Ao Feng, come and receive the decree soon?!" After the angel finished reading, he handed the decree in his hand to the kneeling Jinghe Dragon King.

"Receive the decree!" The Dragon King of Jinghe lowered his head and raised his hands above his head to accept the decree.

When he looked up again, the angel had already left.

The Dragon King of Jinghe stared blankly at the rain time and amount on the Jade Emperor's decree, and was extremely shocked. The eldest prince beside him couldn't help being a little curious when he saw it.

"Father, what's the matter? Did the fortune teller get it right?!"

"Not bad at all!"

The eldest prince was a little unconcerned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "What's the use of his calculations? It's not up to our Dragon Clan to decide how much rain will come. When the time comes, you can sneeze more, or you can..."

Hearing his son's words, the Dragon King of Jinghe could not help being afraid for a while, thinking of the little monk's reminder before.

If the little monk hadn't reminded him, he would definitely have followed the advice of this naughty son now, and in the end he would be punished by the Jade Emperor.

Thinking of this, the Dragon King of Jinghe couldn't help but raised his hand and slapped the complacent eldest prince next to him.

"Nizi, how can His Majesty Jade Emperor's will be changed at will!" Ao Feng was a little annoyed, and gave the eldest prince a hard lesson.

"This stupid thing!"

When the Dragon King of Jinghe shook his sleeves and left, the eldest prince's awe-inspiring eyes suddenly became dark and terrifying.

"Yuan Shoucheng, it's all your fault that you, a villain, have caused huge losses to the Jinghe Shui Clan, and you have been reprimanded for implicating me. I will definitely not let you do what you want!"

……

Xuanzang had already left Chang'an City at this time, and was guided to the Huasheng Temple outside Chang'an City.

The one who led the door was a half-year-old monk named Yuan Kong, with a circle of slender Buddhist beads around his neck, he seemed to be a direct disciple of a certain monk.

"Master Xuanzang, I heard my master mentioned you, and he often told me that you have profound Buddhist teachings and good understanding of Buddhism. This time, the representative attended the Water and Land Dharma Conference, but I admire..." Yuan Kong babbled about his master along the way. , How are the senior brothers, what is the Houshan Temple, it is an out-and-out chatterbox.

Xuanzang listened quietly, nodding his head from time to time to express his response, and inserted a few words at the right time.

This seemed to inject vitality into this Yuankong, and the mouth kept talking about interesting things that happened in Huasheng Temple these years.

"You don't know, the Tang government has already rejected the request for the Water and Land Ceremony to be held in Chang'an City for the third time. I heard from the host master that this year's Water and Land Ceremony is unusual and wants to hold it in Chang'an City, but several applications To no avail, I guess this year it should still be held in Wusheng Valley. Last time, I remember that although the scene was grand, but not many people paid attention to it, it would not be able to promote Buddhism. It was just a few temples discussing Buddhism together... ..."

After being reminded by this, Xuanzang understood why the Jinghe Dragon King turned into a dragon soul to disturb the Tang King, because only in this way, the Buddhist sect could have an excuse to purify the dead souls in the name of the Water and Land Dharma Association, and attract believers. Point out the beauty of Mahayana Buddhism to start the journey to the west.

Soon they arrived at the meditation room arranged for Xuanzang, and the fast food was brought up.

"Senior brother Xuanzang must have been very tired after traveling all the way. Let's take a rest after fasting today; tomorrow morning, I will take you to meet Zen Master Xuyun. After that, you will live here first, and wait for the water and land ceremony to begin. Naturally, someone will come to tell you." After Yuankong finished speaking, he stepped out of the door with some reluctance, and it was the first time he met someone who could listen to his non-stop talk, and instantly regarded Xuanzang as his bosom friend.

As for the other brothers, they couldn't bear their temper at all, and often avoided them without saying a few words. It was really boring!
Compared with them, Master Xuanzang is simply his master!

Thinking about this point clearly, Yuan Kong's eyes lit up, and tomorrow after noon, I will come with senior brother Guan Bao... No, wouldn't it be fun to sit with senior brother Xuanzang and discuss Buddhism!
Well, I'm still very excited when I think about it, finally someone can listen to me quickly!
What Yuankong didn't know was that he had already entered Xuanzang's blacklist, and he planned to excuse his illness when this person came to visit in the future.

……

On the second day, after meeting Zen Master Xuyun, Xuanzang stayed behind closed doors. In the dead of night, he went out of the monastery for daily exercise, and strengthened it [-] times in the strengthening pool. His physical body improved a little, but Still haven't been able to raise the lv level.

Ao Feng realized that something was wrong after the clouds spread the rain. After careful inspection, he found that Ni Zi was hiding in the black clouds and quietly cast a few small spells, which made the rainfall more than ten points out of thin air.

The Jinghe dragon king's three corpses jumped violently, furious, and grabbed the eldest prince from the cloud, giving him a taste of "a father's love like a mountain".

Things have come to this, there is no other way, Jinghe Dragon King Aofeng knew something was wrong, felt a little panic and depressed, turned into a white-clothed gentleman again and came to the fortune-telling booth in Chang'an City.

"Sir, save me!" Ao Feng bowed his head and told the ins and outs of the eldest prince's private casting of rain.

Yuan Shoucheng seemed to have known for a long time that it would be like this, and said solemnly: "You do not obey the decree of the heavens in raining. Although your eldest prince is obstructing it, it is also your duty, and you will inevitably be cut into the dragon's platform!"

Hearing the words "Liaolongtai", Ao Feng's heart trembled, his limbs felt weak, and his heart felt hollow.

"Please teach me sir!"

"There is still a glimmer of life. Although you want to go to the dragon-cutting stage, but because the throne of the emperor and the great Tianzun are at odds, the rainfall in Chang'an is not allowed. The current prime minister Wei Zheng will carry out the execution with the dragon-slaying sword. You only need to use the method of entrusting dreams to ask King Tang..."

The Dragon King of Jinghe suddenly felt that his mouth was wide open, thanked him and left, and that night he performed a method of falling into dreams with the wind, and entered the sleep of the current emperor.

"Your Majesty, save me!"

King Tang was taken aback: "Who are you? I will save you?"

Jinghe Dragon King said: "I am the Dragon King of Jinghe River outside Chang'an City. Your Majesty is a real dragon, and I am a Yelong. Because I violated the rules of heaven, I should be beheaded by Your Majesty's virtuous minister Wei Zheng. Therefore, I come to pray and hope that Your Majesty will save me." Save it!"

Tang Wang saw it pleading, felt compassionate, and agreed to it: "Since Wei Zheng will kill you, I can save you. You can go without worry."

The Dragon King was relieved, thanked him and went away.Back in the Dragon Palace, he met Tianzhi and Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, but at this time, Ao Feng had confidence in his heart, and he calmly confessed, and then he was arrested, tied up with a dragon rope, and taken to the dragon-cutting platform.

"Father, it was I who harmed you!" The eldest prince had already realized his fault at this time, and stared at the figure who took his place with red eyes.

But Tang Wang Li Shimin woke up from his dream, thought about what the Dragon King entrusted, and after much deliberation, decided to keep Wei Zheng by his side for a day tomorrow and not let him go out of the palace for half a step, which should be able to save the Jinghe Dragon King.

The next day, after Tang Wang retired from the imperial court, Wei Zheng was left alone, announced to the Jinluan Hall, and was summoned to the side hall. First, he discussed the strategy of An Bang, and then discussed the strategy of establishing the country. It dragged on until the end of the day and the beginning of the afternoon. Seeing that Wei Zheng was a little restless, Tang Wang secretly smiled , and ordered the palace people to take the chessboard, and wanted to discuss with Wei Zheng Wenping on the chessboard. Wei Zheng dared not answer, so he could only thank him and play chess with the Tang king.
