Chapter 595 The old monkeys heart is made of stone
Naha’s Buddhist country is actually not called this name.
His original name was Wukong's Buddhist Kingdom.
When Master Xuanzang saw Yunchu lying at the foot of the huge statue of Son of the Earth on his way back, Master Xuanzang decisively left the old monkey Shi Guoxungui behind and began to prepare to establish a Buddhist kingdom in the Western Regions.
Yunchu is twenty-four years old this year, so it took twenty-four years to build this Buddhist kingdom before it was truly completed.
This should have been the glory of the old monkey, but unfortunately, as his body weakened, he aged, and after he became more advanced in Buddhism, he gave this Buddhist kingdom to Naha five years ago.
The old monkey is a cruel person, which Yunchu knows very well. He is not only Wukong in Xuanzang's eyes, but also a wild and untamable evil man from the Western Regions.
He is the most powerful horse thief in the Western Regions. He is a great nobleman in the Stone Kingdom second only to the king. He is the most famous slave trader in the Western Regions. At the same time, he is also the Buddhist who escorts Xuanzang to Tianzhu to complete the important task of collecting scriptures.
Fanatic believer.
Yunchu never believed that the old monkey would have such a deep emotional bond with him, a Tang man.
The current friendship between him and the old monkey was cultivated little by little. When the old monkey saw Yun Chu for the first time, without Master Xuanzang's instructions, Yun Chu might really be just a person in his eyes.
You can go to Stone Kingdom to participate in the battle cage selection and earn slaves for him to earn wealth.
This is the so-called impermanence of things.
The Wukong Yunchu first met was named Lao Yangpi. After getting familiar with him, he learned that his nickname was Lao Monkey. After becoming a family, he learned that his name was Shipantuo. It was not until he lived in Chang'an that he learned that his nickname was Lao Monkey.
, his dharma name is - Wukong!
He is the eldest disciple of Master Xuanzang!
In Chang'an, Lao Houhou was an eccentric monk who lived in seclusion and occasionally followed his junior brother, Master Guiji, to the fireworks field to listen to music.
In the Western Region...he is the devil incarnate.
"Where is Mr. Monkey?"
Yun Chu asked Naha who was tired of being in his arms and unwilling to leave.
"Master Monkey is in retreat at Da Ci'en Temple."
"snort!"
Yunchu snorted coldly.
Naha added: "I'm not going to lie to you, he is really in retreat at Daci'en Temple."
Yun Chu raised his palm, and Naha curled up her neck and said aggrievedly: "Master Monkey won't let me tell you, and he also said that if I tell my brother, he won't like me."
Yun Chu tore Naha out of his arms and put her on the ground and said, "She is a big girl now. It's time to differentiate between men and women."
"Wow, Mr. Monkey is right. I lied to you, and you don't like me anymore."
Yun Chu raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Naha's face and said: "Brother likes you as always, but today, I am going to skin the old monkey!"
"Don't go!" Naha hugged Yunchu's waist and dragged him hard to prevent him from going to settle the score with the old monkey.
"He is going to die..." There was a vibrato in Naha's voice.
Yunchu was stunned for a moment, left Naha on the horse, and said tenderly to the man who came to greet him: "I'll leave this place to you."
Wen Wen smiled and said to Yun Chu: "Naha made 20,000 slaves civilians, you should praise her."
Yun Chu said: "Is this Naha's original intention?"
Wen Wen nodded and said: "I am very sure that this is Naha's original intention. At the same time, Naha also promised to give these slaves who built the Buddhist kingdom a safe and happy life."
Yun Chu turned around and looked at Naha who was still wiping her tears. He raised his hand and pinched her face, then patted Naha's head. Naha immediately stopped crying. Although there were tears on her face, she still smiled.
.
The scale of the Buddhist Kingdom's buildings was a spectacle in the Tang Dynasty, but it was nothing in Yunchu's eyes. He had seen many temples bigger than the Buddha Kingdom before, and there were countless Buddha statues bigger than those on the top of the mountain.
Not to mention the nine-foot-tall statues, he has seen several thirty-foot-tall statues.
The bay-red horse carried Naha and the little Tibetan girl, and Yun Chu walked along the corridor to the Buddhist Kingdom.
Speaking of which, to Yun Chu, the buildings of the Kingdom of God not only lacked the feeling of splendor and grandeur, but also made him see a lot of unreasonable things at first glance. He even felt a little rustic.
The ground was made of rammed earth, and many people lined up to beat it out with long-handled small hammers while shouting slogans. Although there was no grass growing on it, it was still earth after all.
Even the ground of the polo field built by the Yun family after pouring oil on Jinchangfang could not catch up, let alone the ground paved with huge stone strips in later generations.
The walls here are generally not high, no more than one person high. They can only block other people's sight, but cannot protect them at all.
As for the big Buddha, except that Yunchu felt that there was something about the huge white jade lotus seat, he didn't see much majesty in the Buddha standing on it.
There was an empty room under the lotus seat, and the old monkey was lying in a pile of furs. His face was flushed, but the corners of his eyes were blue, and he looked as if he was really going to die.
Naha came to the old monkey and held his skinny hand and said aggrievedly: "I didn't say it, it was my brother who guessed it himself."
The old monkey smiled and shook his head at Naha: "It's none of your business. I will be disappointed if he can't guess it."
As he spoke, he held Naha’s hand and wouldn’t let go.
Yun Chu threw a piece of licorice into his mouth and said while chewing: "I heard that you are about to die, right?"
The old monkey gasped and said with a smile: "It's so sad to live, and so painful to die."
Yun Chu said angrily: "I am a doctor, a doctor with pretty good medical skills. Among the four medical sects in this city, Wang is the one who specializes in Inspection, Hearing, Inquiry, and Inspection. Even the old gods say that I am very good at this."
The old monkey let go of Naha's hand and looked at Yun Chu: "So what?"
Yun Chu continued: "Before I left, I took your pulse specifically, looked at your appearance, and also explored your eight extraordinary meridians.
The final conclusion is that you have abundant life span and will not have to worry about death within ten years.
Now, tell me, we haven't seen each other for only a year, why did you become seriously ill?"
Under the gaze of Naha's big eyes, the old monkey slowly stood up from the pile of furs and said while putting on his shoes: "You have guessed that I will not miss such a major event as the establishment of the Buddhist Kingdom, right?"
Yun Chu sneered and said: "You have spent your whole life, and there are only two things you can be proud of. One is escorting Master Xuanzang to Tianzhu, and the other is building this Buddhist kingdom.
Don't say that you are in good health, even if you are about to die, you will crawl to the Buddhist Kingdom to see your life's hard work.
When you entrusted the Buddhist kingdom to Naha in Chang'an, I thought it was because you were diligent in Buddhism and saw through the world of mortals.
Now when I think back to when Master Xuanzang said that your stubbornness is hard to change, I should know that you have never changed in your life."
The old monkey put on his shoes and stretched out. He first gave Naha an apologetic smile, and then said to Yun Chu: "When you told the story of "Journey to the West", didn't you mean that I came from
A stone monkey popping out of a crack in the rocks?
The heart of a stone is at most jade. To put it bluntly, it is still a stone. Isn’t it strange that you expect a stone to have a heart?”
Yunchu sighed and said: "Since you are here, don't make it difficult for Naha. You see, this child is in trouble. He can't eat well, can't sleep well, and worries about being kidnapped by ghosts every night."
The old monkey smiled and said to Naha who could not accept his resurrection: "Naha is very good, no one can do better than Naha.
Yunchu, now that you are back, we should have a serious discussion on how to clear the resentment hanging over the Buddhist Kingdom.
Naha made 20,000 slaves civilians, and although some of them have been eliminated, after all, the grievances accumulated in the Buddhist country over the past twenty years are too much, and they should continue to be eliminated."
"You lied to me!" Naha finally came to her senses and went to Selema for comfort while whimpering.
Yun Chu sighed and said: "Eliminating grievances is actually a process of eliminating the grievances of living people. People who die are actually dead; there is nothing left. Three years ago, it was almost far away for people in the Western Regions.
There is no way to remember things, let alone what happened twenty years ago.
So, do you want to eliminate the resentment in the hearts of these living people by shifting the blame?"
The old monkey smiled and looked at Yunchu without saying a word, waiting for him to continue.
Yunchu continued: "After a bright Buddhist kingdom is established, the first thing to do is to remove the stains on oneself.
In the past twenty years, those twelve horse thieves under your command have really controlled the Buddhist kingdom. It must be those horse thieves who really drove those slaves to death, right?"
The old monkey poured himself a glass of water, drank it all in one gulp and said, "Go on and tell us how to use these horse thieves to eliminate the resentment that has enveloped the Buddhist kingdom."
"Kill them!"
"Of course they have to be killed. I'm asking you how to kill them in order to make their deaths worthwhile."
Yun Chu sighed and said: "You have lived in the Tang Dynasty for so many years, why is your usual method still killing people?"
The old monkey smiled and said: "Since it is easy to use, why not keep using it?"
"Don't forget that you are a monk and you must be compassionate."
The old monkey smiled and said: "Those people only know how to live in confusion and do nothing good in their lives. Killing them would be the greatest kindness to them."
Moreover, die early and be reborn early, start a new life as soon as possible, and be an upright and good person. Isn’t this the original intention of me, the Buddha, to guide people to be good?
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Leave this matter to me."
The old monkey turned around, looked at the small seated Buddha in the room, clasped his hands and said: "A man who is a Taoist is like a tree in water, following the current, not touching the two banks, not being taken by people, not being taken by ghosts and gods.
Cover it, it will not be inhabited by migrating currents, nor will it rot. I protect this tree to determine the sea of people.
If a person who studies the Tao is not deceived by lust, is not seduced by evil spirits, and is diligent in doing nothing, I guarantee that this person will attain the Tao.
Lao Na built thousands of pagodas to achieve the Buddha's kingdom, great light, great wisdom, but also great sin and great darkness.
Now I have light and wisdom in Naha, and sin and darkness in myself. If light and wisdom can make Naha become a Buddha, then let Naha become a Buddha.
If the darkness of sin will cause me to fall into the Abi Hell forever, then I will fall into the Abi Hell forever..."
Yun Chu closed the door for the old monkey and looked down at the splendid buildings at his feet. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
The heart of the old monkey is just a stone. It was a stone before, it is a stone now, and it will still be a stone in the future.
