Chapter 318 Banquet (4K Chapters)

"Returning to Your Majesty, the poor monk, master and apprentice were the ones sent by the Tang Dynasty in the east to the Daleiyin Temple in the Lingshan scenic spot in the Tianzhu Kingdom in the west to obtain the scriptures. The test is carried out."

After hearing this, the king of Jisai Kingdom couldn't help but change his expression, so he ordered the left and right to fetch seats and give them seats.

The king held the customs clearance document presented by Tang Seng in his hand and read it carefully.

On the customs clearance document, there are seals of various sizes and shapes, and the ink colors on the seals are also different.

The king of Jisai Kingdom confirmed that the Guanwen was authentic, and his doubts about Tang Seng and his disciples immediately dissipated.Therefore, he said to Tang Monk with a friendly face: "I envy you, the king of the Tang Dynasty, who can select eminent monks because of the disease of the country, and travel to distant countries to worship Buddha and seek scriptures; it is a pity that the monks here will only concentrate on being thieves and stealing the Buddha of Zhenguo. Treasures, the luck of a defeated country, and the manners of a bad ruler."

Although Tang Seng knew that what the king said in and out of words was his dissatisfaction with the lost treasures of Jinguang Temple, Tang Seng did not take it seriously, and clasped his hands together and said: "How can we see the luck of a defeated country and the manners of a bad king?"

The king said: "Although my country is far away from the country of the day and the Central Plains, it is also the country of the Western Regions. It is all because of the golden pagoda in the Jinguang Temple. There are Siyi tributes, and I sacrificed to Saiguo to take care of this pagoda. How can I be sure that I can't guard against house thieves, and the monks of this temple stole the treasure on the pagoda, so that there has been no brilliance for three years , Xiaguo has not come to pay tribute in the past two years, and I often think about this matter, and I hate it in my heart."

Originally, the king just wanted to chat with Tang Seng about family affairs and complain about his sufferings, but Tang Seng clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this statement is wrong. The poor monk came to this treasured place last night, and as soon as he entered the city gate, he saw dozens of monks in chains. Asked about the crime, but said that it was the Jinguang Temple who was wronged, so the poor monk and his disciples went to the temple to ask them carefully, and later the poor monk vowed to sweep the pagoda at night, so why would he want to catch the thief who stole the treasure with his disciples."

After hearing this, the king couldn't help asking overjoyedly, "Where is the treasure thief?"

"Now it is locked in the Jinguang Temple."

Tang Seng replied with his head bowed.

Hearing this, the king quickly issued an order: "Let Jin Yiwei go to Jinguang Temple to take the thief to the temple, and the widow will personally come to interrogate him!"

Seeing this, Tang Seng couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, it's not enough to just send Jin Yiwei, and you have to let the disciples go with you."

Hearing what Tang Seng said, the king was a little puzzled and asked: "There are not many Jinyi guards here, but they all have the ability to fight five against one. If they go, it will be more than enough to escort the thieves, but there is no need for the saints and high disciples to run away again." trip."

Tang Seng shook his head and said: "No, no, it's just because the thieves are two monsters under the throne of Bibotan Wanshenglong. Although your majesty's generals are brave, they don't have the ability to subdue demons and eliminate demons. Disciple walks up once, so as not to die."

"It turned out that a monster stole the treasure. No wonder there was blood rain the day before the treasure was stolen. Gu Dao thought it was because the pagoda was polluted." Speaking of this, the king looked at Tang Seng and continued: "May I ask who the holy monk is? "

Tang Seng stretched out his finger and said, "The three people standing beside the jade steps are."

Sun Wukong and Drifting have already used the technique of transformation to change their body shapes. Although they are not so handsome, they are no longer as ugly as they used to be.

"It turns out that they are saint monks and eminent disciples. I thought these few were the people sent by the king of Tang Dynasty to protect the saint monks going west."

The king said with a smile.

As soon as the voice changed, the king nodded slightly and continued: "If that's the case, I'll trouble Master Gao to make a trip."

Sun Wukong and Jin Yiwei left the east gate, and after about three quarters of an hour, they escorted the black carp and Liangyu back.

Jin Yiwei went out, and he was still going in the direction of Jinguang Temple, which immediately alarmed the people in the city. There were many discussions about Jin Yiwei's trip, and they all said that His Majesty the King finally made up his mind to clean up the Jinguang Temple.For a while, they all felt sorry for each other and were deeply moved.

Unexpectedly, after Jin Yiwei arrived at Jinguang Temple, he didn't make any big moves. He just escorted two strange-looking "people" he didn't know and left.

A commoner pointed to Hei Lin and Liang Yu who were imprisoned by Jin Yiwei on the prison cart and murmured, "Is that a monster?"

"How could it be a monster? These Jin Yiwei are just mortals. Thank God if they don't get eaten by monsters. How could they catch monsters?" Hearing this, the people on the side couldn't help but sneered, and said a little pessimistically.

"It's not a monster, so tell me, why does this person look so weird?" The man couldn't help retorting.

A middle-aged man who looked like a doctor stroked his two-inch beard on his chin, and said appropriately: "These two people must be suffering from some kind of disease. I heard that there is a skin disease that grows on the skin. There are scars like scales..."

"..."

The two demons naturally heard the conversations of the people along the line clearly, and couldn't help complaining in their hearts: God's disease...

But he didn't have any thoughts of revenge. After all, it was unknown whether he could save a life at this time.

If he lost his life, everything would be over, even if the other party said he had hemorrhoids on his face, he was free to do so.

Chariots are not allowed to pass through the palace. After reaching the gate of the palace, Jin Yiwei asked the guard to open the prison car. Sun Wukong reached in and grabbed the two demons, and then shook them. The two demons were shaken so that their mana became disordered, unable to maintain their human form, and changed back to the appearance of two fish .

Jin Yiwei was dumbfounded when he saw it.

"gone."

As soon as Sun Wukong's words fell, the soldiers couldn't help being shocked. Even if the discipline was good, they frequently looked at Sun Wukong and the two fish he was holding in his hand during the march.

It looks like an ordinary fisherman. If you don't see it with your own eyes, who knows that the two fish in your hand are humanoid...

A Jin Yiwei ran into the hall to report the situation, and hearing that it was Sun Wukong and a group of Jin Yiwei escorting the treasure thief, His Majesty the King couldn't help but stand up.

The generals in the hall even stretched their necks and looked out of the hall, as if they were looking at something rare.

But when everyone saw Monkey King appearing at the gate of the hall with two salted fish, they couldn't help but start talking.

"Didn't you say you were going to escort the demon thief? Could it be that these two seemingly dead salted fish are the demon thief?"

"It's so ridiculous, don't tell the old man, these two fish are the culprits!"

"Could it be that the monks of Jinguang Temple hired a wild monk to make up a lie in order to get rid of the crime?"

"..."

Countless doubts sounded.

Of course, many courtiers did not say a word and were still watching.

Dogs that can bite don't bark, don't look at how powerful these courtiers are, when it comes to critical moments, they may not be as sharp as those taciturn courtiers.

After entering the palace, Monkey King bowed his hands to the king and said, "The demon has already been brought."

Seeing Sun Wukong alone with two fish in his hands, the king couldn't help muttering in his heart: Don't say that this demon thief is a fish that looks dead in his hands...

Not seeing the thief, the king couldn't help but asked, "Could it be the two fish in your hand that you're talking about, the devil?"

"Exactly."

Sun Wukong replied.

The king couldn't help frowning. Seeing this, a minister below thought he had an opportunity, and couldn't help shouting: "Bold, why dare you deceive the king by saying that all things are mixed with monsters."

Hearing this, Sun Wukong grinned and said: "If you are a mortal, you really know the real body of the monster. Since you want to see the human form of this monster, I will let you take a look."

Speaking of which, Sun Wukong directly threw the two fish pretending to be dead on the ground, and shouted: "Monster, it's time to transform into a human form, and when will it be."

All the ministers were watching a good show, and His Majesty the King, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, couldn't help but focus on the two "dead fish" on the ground.

As soon as Sun Wukong's words fell, the two "dead fish" on the ground suddenly turned into two shrunken, strange-looking humanoid creatures.

A few courtiers who were timid and kept close to each other immediately fainted after seeing this great transformation.

Those courtiers who were the loudest just now also lowered their heads and obediently, and they didn't say anything. They started to pretend to be ostriches, and dumb pretended to be dumb.

The king descended to the dragon's bed and looked at it with all the ministers.

I saw that one of the monsters was wearing black armor, his face was covered with scales, a two-inch wide dorsal fin could be vaguely seen from the head to the back of the spine, the other had dark and smooth skin, and two three- to four-inch long whiskers at the corners of his mouth. .

Seeing the two monsters, the king asked, "Where are you monsters? Why have you invaded my country and stolen my treasures in recent years? How many servants are there, and what names are they called? Let me tell you one by one!"

Seeing Sun Wukong staring at him fiercely, the two monsters immediately suppressed the little Jiujiu in their hearts, and knelt down with a "boom...", regardless of the pain in their feet, they replied: "Teach the king to know, I will wait for the second monster I also obey others, and I hope that His Majesty the King will take pity on me and the difficulty of my cultivation, and release the two of us afterwards..."

Before the two demons could finish speaking, Monkey King's golden cudgel fell to the ground with a bang, not only the two demons were startled, but also the first minister.

"Your Majesty asks you, just say it quickly, don't waste your time here, be careful that my old grandson won't leave anyone under the golden cudgel!"

The two demons didn't say anything else, and quickly continued: "Three years ago, there was a Dragon King of All Saints who led many relatives and lived in Bibotan, a rocky mountain a hundred miles southeast of the country of Jisai. The Dragon King of All Saints had a beautiful woman The female name is the Halloween princess, and she recruits a nine-headed son-in-law who is invincible. He knows the rare treasures on your pagoda, so he joins forces with the Halloween Dragon King to be a thief, and comes to cast spells to rain blood, pollute the pagoda, and steal the holy relic Afterwards, the Halloween Princess stole the Ganoderma lucidum of the Queen Mother and raised the treasures in the Tan. The two of us are just the pawns of the Dragon King, who were sent to inspect the pagoda and report the traces of the holy monks. The greedy cup was captured by the master and apprentice of the holy monk. What we said is true. I hope that His Majesty the holy monk will see clearly and let us have a way out. We will definitely correct our past mistakes and concentrate on practicing..."

"Since your two demons have taken the confession, why don't you give your own name?"

As soon as the two demons heard this, they hurriedly reported their names to the king, saying: "My name is Hei Li, the black of black and white, and the carp of carp."

"My name is Liangyu, the excellent Liang, the remaining Yu."

Hearing this, Monkey King on the side couldn't help grinning and said: "It's still good, my grandson sees it as a catfish."

When Liangyu heard this, he couldn't help but nodded and bowed his head and said: "Yes, yes, you are right, Great Sage, the little demon is a catfish, so the little demon was named Liangyu."

After a little thought, the king ordered: "The shackles of the monks of Jinguang Temple were pardoned, and the two demons were escorted to the prison cell..."

Later, Guanglu Temple was arranged to arrange a fasting banquet, and Tang monk and his disciples were invited to sit together, and thanked Tang monk and his disciples for capturing the evil thief in the Qilin hall.

Of course, the key point is to ask Tang Monk and his disciples for a Buddhist treasure that can suppress monsters...

After Guanglu Temple heard the imperial order, it immediately prepared a feast of meat and vegetables.

Wait for the king Tang monk and his disciples to take their seats.

The king asked: "This cup of vegetarian wine, thank you, the holy monk, for helping me capture the evil thief in the country of Serbia."

Seeing this, Tang Seng couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I'm a monk, and I can't drink alcohol, so I can only use tea instead of wine to respect Your Majesty."

"Haha, haha, whatever you want, the holy monk can do whatever you want." The king laughed and was not angry because of it.

After drinking the wine, the king continued: "By the way, haven't you asked about the title of the holy monk?"

The Tang monk put his palms together and replied: "The poor monk's family name is Chen, and his Dharma name is Xuanzang, but he was alone before he recognized his relatives, so he was also surnamed Tang. The poor monk came to the West and passed through several cities and countries. That's why the lay monks called the poor monk Tang monk. , I think it was the intention of the Tang Dynasty monk..." The king nodded after hearing this, and asked again: "So that's the case, what is the name of the holy monk?"

"The little monk's apprentices don't have very many names, the big one is called Sun Wukong, the second one is called Bajie, and the third one is called Sha Wujing, each according to his own ability..."

Upon hearing this, the king invited Tang Monk to sit on the upper table, Sun Wukong to sit on the side seat on the left side, and Monk Huang Yangsha to sit on the side seat to the right side, all with vegetarian fruits, vegetables, tea and rice.In front of the table of meat, the king sat, and next to the table were a hundred meat seats, where civil and military officials sat.

……

The feast lasted until noon.

The banquet not only took a talisman from Huang Yang to suppress the two monsters, Hei Li and Liang Yu, but also entrusted Tang Monk and his disciples with the task of finding the Buddha treasure.

The next morning, the king came to ask Tang Seng again: "The holy monk cast down demons and demons for the widow, and found the Buddha treasure. I don't know who is going?"

Tang Seng replied: "Teach my big apprentice Wukong to go."

"Since Elder Sun is going, how many troops will he use? When will he leave the city?"

Hearing the king's inquiry, the Drifting Monk beside him couldn't help but said: "This is to slay demons and eliminate demons, not to siege cities and lands. How can we get so many people to go? My elder brother alone is enough! If Your Majesty, you don't want to go!" Don't worry, when the time comes, I, Lao Sha, will go with the elder brother and have someone to take care of me!"

Seeing the king looking at him with questioning eyes, Tang Seng couldn't help but nodded and replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, these three disciples of the poor monk have the ability to subdue demons, and they will definitely be able to subdue the monsters and return."

Seeing this, Huang Yang, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but said: "Since you, Lao Sha, are going to deal with the Monkey King and the nine-headed worm together with the monkey, then I'll protect Master here."
