Chapter 127: After all, it was the disciple who paid by mistake
The sound of "Xiang Buddha" frightened him to death.
In the past, he would have suffered it with peace of mind, but now he absolutely does not have the courage.
What kind of world is the Tang Dynasty? There is such a divine monk who can see through his true nature at a glance.
"The holy monk is calling his disciples... um... ah..." The little elephant hesitated for a long time and was speechless. He subconsciously looked at the abbot and the elder. The abbot and the elder were still recalling the Buddhist scriptures just now. At this moment, they met "Xiang"
The look in his eyes made me feel numb... You old man, don’t you even have a name?
After all, this abbot elder had actually lived for sixty or seventy years. With a thought in his mind, the little elephant walking down the aisle whispered into his ear.
The baby elephant's eyes suddenly lit up. He wanted to pat him on the shoulder to appreciate and encourage him, but he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand his own strength, so he just put his hand lightly on his shoulder and rubbed it a little, and then he
He said to Master Tripitaka: "Master actually misunderstood. My disciple's lay name is Xiang. Because my father devoted himself to the Buddha, he named the disciple Xiang Buddha, in the hope that the disciple could step into the path of enlightenment and achieve the right fruition... Perhaps this is the treasure elephant."
The king of the country mistakenly thought that the disciple's 'face to the Buddha' was the 'image of the Buddha'... Therefore, it is definitely not the disciple who deliberately took the name of the Buddha and asked the holy monks to clarify."
"You, little elephant, are quite clever." The Great Sage couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "If I hadn't known your details earlier, I would have been deceived by you this time..."
Hearing this, the little elephant said that the lake couldn't be crossed, and his expression immediately changed, "Although I have received some incense here, I have never harmed anyone... Do you want to kill them all?"
"The holy monk must not be deceived by the words of this elephant demon. He is clearly asking for boys and girls as sacrifices. How can he not be a demon?" The king also quickly stood up to argue. Ignore the rest for the time being. Based on this alone, this demon Buddha cannot be allowed to live in the treasure.
Continue to stay at Xiangguo Temple.
"You're talking nonsense!" The little elephant was immediately furious: "When did I ask you to sacrifice boys and girls!"
With Master Tripitaka by his side, the king was even more confident and said angrily: "You monster Buddha, do you dare to do it but dare not recognize it? Thirteen years ago, a decree was issued, allowing the abbot and elder to ask me for boys and girls to be sacrificed.
, isn’t it you? The day before yesterday, I asked the abbot and elder to come to me to ask for boys and girls as sacrifices. Isn’t it you? Isn’t it you who said that if you don’t deliver the sacrifices, retribution will be sent down? The holy monk is here now.
Let’s see how you deliver retribution!”
Little Elephant: "You...I...even if I want to bring boys and girls, they are not for sacrifice."
"Ah!" The king seemed to have caught the baby elephant's sore foot: "Is it possible that you use it to eat?"
"Fuck you!"
The little elephant kicked over the eucalyptus in front of him, picked up the incense burner and was about to throw it at the king. However, seeing the king standing behind Master Tripitaka, he did not dare to do anything. He just yelled: "This foolish king
You don’t know how to be kind!”
"Holy Monk, this monster has been exposed by me. He can't keep up the pretense and is going to show his fault! I said that he is not that honest. He must have seen that the Holy Monk has profound Dharma, so he is just pretending here."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" The little elephant was so angry that he threw the incense burner on the ground, making a big crater with a bang, "Shen Monk Mingjian, this foolish king is using his sweet words to frame his disciples... I want to do what he does.
Only after one game will we see the difference."
Seeing that the little elephant still knew who the elder was here, the abbot elder did not act impulsively. He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Holy Monk, Your Majesty...please listen to what I have to say!"
While he was talking, he stopped the little elephant behind him and said: "This matter is all the fault of the poor monk... It is the fault of the poor monk."
Seeing that Master Tripitaka was not eager to take action, the abbot and elder seemed to be giving them the opportunity to explain. The abbot and elder explained clearly the "sacrifice" the day before yesterday——
The king first believed that the little elephant was a demon Buddha, and refused to believe his words. He sneered again and again: "How dare you say such words that are full of flaws to deceive others?"
"Amitabha." Fa Hai first signaled the king to be calm, and then looked at the little elephant.
The little elephant looked a little flustered, and was struggling a little in the panic. He seemed to be debating whether to use force to break the situation... After all, at this moment, he seemed to have no other way to prove his innocence.
And... based on the situation in front of us, Master Tripitaka is obviously on the side of the king.
After all, he was originally the Tang Dynasty divine monk who was invited by the king to slay demons.
"You want to use force?" Master Tripitaka looked at the little elephant.
"Alas -" the little elephant sighed, and simply sat cross-legged on the ground, looking like he had realized the truth: "After all, it was the disciple who made the mistake. I don't dare to show off my force in front of the divine monk. I just ask the divine monk to see that the disciple has not done any evil.
For my sake, I will spare my life so that I can see what will happen to this foolish king who bites me back."
"Amitabha." Fa Hai recited the Buddha's name and said, "I see that you are quite unconvinced, so I will give you a chance today."
"What opportunity?" The little elephant immediately pricked up his ears when he heard that things seemed to be turning around again.
"If you can defeat the poor monk with force, the poor monk will..."
"There is no need for the divine monk to say any more." When the little elephant heard this, he drooped his ears, "The divine monk's Dharma ocean is profound and his power is vast. Please punish me quickly. There is no need to tease the disciples like this."
"Hahaha." Fa Hai couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "You little elephant, you are quite interesting. That's fine... I just want to ask you one thing. If you can convince me, I will not embarrass you anymore."
.”
"If you have anything to say, ask quickly." Although the little elephant is broken now, he is actually not too scared. The main reason is that he insists that he has not done any evil, and even if he is guilty, he will not die... I am afraid that this matter will cause trouble.
The Bodhisattva Samantabhadra became angry and brought disaster upon his father.
But if he does something extraordinary this time, it's hard to tell what consequences are waiting for him.
"The conflict between the two of you is not that you have received incense for nearly two hundred years but have not yet manifested your spirit, but that thirteen years ago you used His Majesty the King's desire to save his daughter and asked him for a boy or girl... The poor monk asked
You, is this true?"
"It's true." The little elephant lowered his head and admitted, but quickly raised his head and said, "But things were not what he imagined. The disciple did not ask him to sacrifice two boys and girls before he was willing to save him, nor did he want to eat people.
..”
The king was not convinced: "I want to hear what you have to say."
The little elephant looked at the various expressions of the monks in the temple, and sighed in his heart. Now that it has been drained, there is no need to worry about the subsequent incense.
The name "Buddha-like" is a burden if it is retained, so it would be better to explain it clearly now.
I was still a little lucky in my heart. After all, it was only the monks and Master Tripitaka’s disciples in the temple, as well as the king’s family, who knew about this. If all the people in the city really saw him like this...hiss——
He couldn't help but shudder. Even if he was lucky enough to escape, he might have to hide in the old forest in the mountains for hundreds of years, waiting for people to completely forget about him before they dare to go out and walk.
The little elephant knew this was his last chance.
Then he said: "There is a reason for this. Master, please listen to the disciple's explanation."
Immediately afterwards, the little elephant recounted the scene thirteen years ago, and asked the king from time to time, and the result was that he could correspond one to one.
"Therefore, when the disciple saw that he loved his daughter so much, and because he had received incense from his Baoxiang Kingdom for so many years, he also wanted to have a true manifestation... But the demon was powerful, and the disciple was still in the process of transformation, so he was unable to do anything.
.. Then I found a secret technique from the inherited secret technique."
"The secret method requires you to use boys and girls to practice?" The king's voice was a little excited, because according to what the demon Buddha said, if he explained this link clearly, wouldn't he be repaying his kindness with his own hatred?
The little elephant pondered for a while, then looked at Master Sanzang and said: "Master Mingjian, the secret law says: If you use the energy of yin and yang as a sacrifice, and then supplement it with your own secret skills, you can take over the creation of the heaven and earth, and you can move mountains and fill seas.
He had the power... so he had the guts to lend him two boys and girls... The disciple had absolutely no intention of using them as sacrifices or cannibalizing people, just to save people."
"Hmph, I'm not letting you say anything. Anyway, you alone know this secret method of inheritance..."
"Your Majesty!" Fahai frowned and glanced at the king.
The king was standing next to Master Tripitaka at this angle, and when he glanced sideways at him, he was actually frightened!
Master Tripitaka looked upright when viewed from the front...how come he looked so frightening when he looked sideways?
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not. Anyway, what the disciple told is the truth... The disciple asked him for boys and girls in order to practice his clan's secret skills so that he could manifest spirits and save his daughter. If he doesn't want to, he won't agree.
, why do you want to close the temple..." The little elephant bowed to Master Tripitaka and said, "Please ask the holy monk to uphold justice for his disciples."
The Great Sage said, "Master, there is something fishy about this matter."
"There is indeed something fishy." Fahai nodded, he knew what Wukong wanted to say.
Bajie Wujing and others did not react for a while, which is understandable; the king is a mortal, so it is reasonable.
But after all, Wukong's master started out in Taoism, so it is not difficult to see the key points.
Fahai looked at the little elephant and asked, "In fact, your secret method does not mention the need for boys and girls."
"No?" The elephant and the king were both stunned.
The little elephant still spoke, but the king was stunned and said: "This yin and yang energy...shouldn't it be in boys and girls?"
This king has the same cognitive level as a baby elephant. When he heard the energy of yin and yang, the first thing he thought of was boys and girls, and he thought there was no problem...
It is frustrating to say that, when exactly did this yin and yang energy become linked to boys and girls?
Of course, it is undeniable...Boys and girls do have their own bits of it...but what little breath they have can be used to practice secret techniques? It is better to bask in the sun more and enjoy the moon more...
"There is a saying in Taoism: Taiji gives birth to two rituals, two rituals and four images, and then gives birth to all things. Tao transforms yin and yang, and the qi of yin and yang do not interact, so the distinction between cold and heat is lost; the light of the sun and the moon does not shine, so the distinction between day and night is lost.
.This yin and yang qi is divided into innate yin and yang qi and acquired yin and yang qi. Innate yin and yang qi are rare in the three realms, and acquired yin and yang can be gathered using secret techniques and formations...but how can it be applied to boys and girls?"
Little Elephant also made sense and said: "This disciple comes from a Buddhist sect and does not understand the Buddhist scriptures."
