The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 416 0417

Tathagata frowned when counting his fingers, but it was because of a task he had assigned at the beginning.At this time, time should have been reversed, but everyone was once again withdrawn to reality.Buzhou Mountain has not completely collapsed, it seems that the collapse time was delayed by some kind of divine power.It's not that everyone hasn't left, but there are still unfinished tasks.Ninety-nine and 81 difficulties must have a beginning and an end.If this task cannot be completed, Buzhou Mountain will not collapse completely.

This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, so that they could prepare more for what was about to happen.At this time, the master and apprentice Wukong had already left the Flame Mountain and continued to the next stop.

When Tang Sanzang left Chang'an, he made a great wish.If you visit the temple, you must sweep the pagoda. Tang Wang was also present when making this great wish, and Tang Sanzang has always done this.Although it caused a lot of trouble, but the ambition is not something that can be easily changed.

The four masters and apprentices came to the gate of the city, and Bajie read out the words written on the top of the city "Jie Saiguo." After driving for several days, there was finally a place to rest.According to the past practice, they should find a place to stay first, and then go to the palace to worship the mountain.I have met the local king boss, so that he can sign and seal the customs clearance document.

But Tang Sanzang is not a person who plays cards according to common sense. When he entered Jisai Kingdom, he saw a towering Buddhist pagoda.Putting all other things aside, Tang Sanzang insisted on entering that pagoda at this time.The beautiful name is to sweep the pagoda, but in fact it is to check whether there are scriptures and relics in the pagoda.

Buddhist scriptures have recorded that the construction of pagodas is different from that of temples.There must be a living Buddha in the place where the pagoda is built, and there must be a Buddhist treasure relic placed on the top of the pagoda.Not to expand fame, but to benefit the people of one side.The universal illumination of the Buddha's light benefits one party, which is of great merit to Buddhists.

Tang Sanzang was empty-handed, and Bajie and Wukong each carried a broom.It was like this every time, Mr. Sha stayed where he was and looked at his luggage.Bajie and Wukong helped to sweep the pagoda together. Rather than saying that Tang Sanzang swept the pagoda, it would be better to say that he was lighting the pagoda.Holding a candle in his hand, he helped Bajie and Wukong to illuminate.

There is something on the top of the tower that emits golden light. When standing in the distance, the golden light is dazzling, but standing inside the tower can't see the slightest light.While watching the two apprentices diligently sweeping the tower, Tang San couldn't help feeling a little emotional in his heart.If it weren't for the fact that he was too concerned about face in front of Tang Wang, there would be so many troubles now.

A gust of wind blew into the pagoda and blew out the candle in Tang Sanzang's hand.

"Oh, not good!" Seeing this, Wukong immediately covered Tang Sanzang with a broom.

"Ouch!" There was a scream from inside the pagoda, but Ba Jie had already crouched on the ground.When Wukong lit the candle again, Bajie's face had already turned as pale as paper.Beads of sweat were all over their foreheads, and the three people in the pagoda heard footsteps coming from outside at the same time.

"They are inside, don't let them escape, surround the pagoda, and catch the thief alive!"

A group of people and horses appeared outside the pagoda, not only surrounded the pagoda, but also mobilized more cavalry and archers.They surrounded the pagoda with three floors inside and three floors outside, and no one shouted into the pagoda until this time.

Unknowingly, the three masters and apprentices walked out of the pagoda. Tang Sanzang stopped Wukong who wanted to do it, and asked Wukong to heal Bajie first.It's really thanks to Wukong's medical skills, otherwise Bajie's butt would really be swollen into a watermelon this time.Four black tooth marks, it looks like it was injured by a poisonous snake.

Tang Sanzang forbade Wukong to make a move, so the three of them could only obediently follow those soldiers.Follow their advice and rush to the palace to meet their king boss.Not long after leaving the stupa, Wukong glanced back at the spire.I suddenly understood a little bit in my heart, but it was useless to say anything at this time.

Seeing the boss of Ji Sai Kingdom, the king can be said to be healthy and strong.Over seventy years old, he still refuses to give up his position. He pretends that his body is still strong, but in fact he has started to stutter.It is impossible to stand up without support, let alone spend more experience in dealing with government affairs.

King Jisai had many daughters, but never had a son.For a king who has expanded countless territories in his lifetime, the greatest regret in life is that no one can inherit the mantle.He has always followed Buddhism, and the entire country of Jisai respects Buddhism as the state religion.Rao is the royal family of the Sai State, and most of them are vegetarians.

The king pinned all his hopes on the pagoda, and the most important thing was the orb on the top of the pagoda.Someone once said that the orb is the relic of the Buddha who passed away, and it is the most precious treasure of Buddhism.As long as the orb keeps emitting golden light, sooner or later the king will get his wish.

Someone came to report today that a monk entered the stupa to sweep it.This was a very common thing, but the orb disappeared shortly after the three monks entered the pagoda.If the three of them hadn't made a move, the king would not have thought of that possibility.

The handsome Tang Sanzang stood in front of the king and greeted him politely.Bajie and Wukong were not so easy to talk to. Seeing the king open his mouth, he asked, "Old Emperor, what crime did we commit that you let us be bound?"

"Bold!"

"kindness!"

Seeing this, the guards on both sides wanted to teach the two rude monsters a lesson, but the king stopped them.Having been the king for so many years, he certainly does not lack this kind of open-mindedness.What's more, killing people is nothing more than nodding their heads. Since some people say that they stole the orb, he, the king, naturally has to ask the truth.

The king said: "Three elders, dare to ask you who is the master?"

Tang Sanzang laughed and said nothing, but Wukong and Bajie didn't answer.This made him very embarrassed, and in the end he had to report his family name.He said this passage a full 160 times along the way. He had to say it once when he met the king, and he had to say it again once he was caught by a monster.

"The poor monk came from the Tang Dynasty in the east. His surname was Tang and his name was Sanzang. He was ordered by the king of Tang to go to the west to worship Buddha and ask for scriptures. When he passed by the expensive place, he asked the master to make it easier for him. These are my two apprentices, Zhu Wuneng and Sun Wukong. "

When the king heard that he was an eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty, he definitely did not dare to neglect Tang Sanzang.Although he was very polite to Tang Sanzang on the surface, Wu Kong who was at the side heard the meaning behind what King Jisai said.He hoped that Tang Sanzang would be frank and lenient, and take the initiative to hand over the stolen orb.It seems that he has decided that they are the murderers, and it is futile to say anything now.

Faced with King Jisai's repeated questioning, Tang Sanzang would come up with some useful ideas.He can only leave this matter to Wukong and pin all his hopes on Wukong.They never saw that orb at all, and where did they find the exact same one to give to King Jisai now?

Speaking of this, King Ji Sai showed an extremely tough attitude.If Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice refused to hand over the orb, let alone sign and seal the customs clearance document, even the three of them would not even think about leaving the palace.Dare to make sacrifices to the foundation of the country, sacrifice to the king is not ambiguous at all.

Seeing that the situation is deteriorating, a disagreement may trigger a melee.The prime minister of Ji Sai Guo came forward to dissuade the king, and then explained the reason to Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice.

The orb on the pagoda once brought countless honors to Ji Saiguo.Because of that orb, all the small countries around Jisai came to pay tribute to Jisai.The purpose is to be protected by the orb, which is of course not nonsense, but a fact that actually exists.When Tang Sanzang and his disciples entered the Jisai Kingdom, a bloody rain fell on the Jisai Kingdom.

The golden light emitted by the orb has weakened, but it hasn't disappeared yet.The surrounding small countries have stopped paying tribute to the country of Ji Sai, and everyone is waiting to see if there is any change in the orb.But no one thought that the orb had disappeared today.Nothing abnormal happened in Ji Sai Country, the only difference was the appearance of their master and apprentice.

The prime minister was much more sober-minded than the king, and this analysis came to a conclusion.If it is true that their master and apprentice stole the orb, firstly, they don't need so many people, and secondly, they would have fled long ago after stealing the things.This is the most normal thinking logic, and of course things that do not conform to logical thinking cannot happen.

But having said that, I can only blame their master and apprentice for this matter.The king cannot announce to the people that the orb is missing, otherwise it will cause riots across the country.At that time, no matter how powerful the king is, it is impossible for the people to continue to listen to him.He had to find a scapegoat, even if he really wronged him, it didn't matter.

This is not a business, but a means.It's a pity that Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice accidentally ran into a choice that had to be made to achieve a certain goal.

When something happened, it was natural to find someone to inquire about it. Bajie and Wukong left the palace, leaving Tang Sanzang in the palace.It's not that they don't show loyalty, but that Tang Sanzang offered to stay.It is rare to meet a king who values ​​Buddhism so much. Tang Sanzang hopes to use his three-inch tongue to enlighten King Ji Sai.

Of course, King Ji Sai had already said it at that time.All three of them cannot be let go, one must be left as a hostage.If the remaining two failed to return as scheduled, he would have the remaining one executed for stealing national treasures.

Walking out of the palace, Bajie asked Wukong: "Brother Monkey, why don't we break up? You go back to your Huaguo Mountain, and I'll go back to my Gaolaozhuang. Let Sha Laosan go back to Liusha River, and send Little White Dragon back to the West Sea?"

A chestnut knocked on Bajie's forehead, and Wukong said angrily, "You don't care about Master?"

Bajie covered his forehead with a look of grievance, and argued, "Don't they all say that he is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi? I don't believe Tathagata would let him die so easily."

Wukong was taken aback when he heard the words, and silently extended his thumb to Bajie.This guy finally spoke his mind, but it's true.Thinking of what he has experienced these days, Wukong has already figured out a pattern.You can kill and fight monsters without background, but you can't even fight monsters with background.

As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog.If you want to fight those monsters who have been practicing for a long time, it depends on how big the backer behind them is.The level of mounts that can be owned by the immortals in the heavenly realm is naturally not low, and the level of mounts that can be owned by the Buddha realm is not low.

Wukong dares to offend these people but he can't offend them. He understands why he would rather offend a gentleman than a villain.It's really an enemy with this group of people, maybe it will trip you up that day.This kind of thing is hard to prevent, the best way is to live in peace, and no one offends is the best choice.

Summoning the long-lost land, Wukong asked him about the security situation in Jisai Country.Finally, the target was locked on the Nine-Headed Insect. It is said that this buddy has some skills.When he came to Jisai Country, he ran amok, and the mountain gods and lands were all at his disposal.

Before leaving, Tu Tu reminded Wukong that Nine-Headed Insect has a lot of background.Otherwise, he wouldn't be so confident, the land kindly reminded Wukong.Try not to move your hands if you can move your mouth, otherwise things will become more and more troublesome.

What the land said is correct, but it is up to Wukong whether he listens or not.
