"Where is your majesty? Where has your majesty gone?" The Queen Mother stood in front of the altar to confer gods. There was only one unfinished chess game left in front of her, but the Jade Emperor and others were nowhere to be seen, so she summoned the general to ask.
"I would like to inform you that just now, the old gentleman left first and returned to Tushita Palace; the Bodhisattva also sailed to the Yunnan Sea... As for your majesty, I only saw him heading outside the Nantian Gate."
"I know, you go down first."
The Queen Mother waved her hand and told the Heavenly General to leave. She took the phoenix chariot and went to Nantianmen. She was only halfway through when she was stopped by Taibai Jinxing who suddenly barged in the road. When she saw the old man, he bowed in greeting and said: "
The old minister pays his respects to the empress."
"Xingjun is exempt from the courtesy." The Queen Mother's face did not change and she asked: "I wonder why Xingjun is here?"
"My Majesty, please forgive me. I have received your Majesty's order and am waiting here for your Majesty."
"His Majesty asked you to come? Do you know where Your Majesty went?"
Taibai Jinxing didn't even raise his head and just replied: "Your Majesty said that he was tired of staying above the Nine Heavens and wanted to go to the lower world to get some fresh air."
The Queen Mother's face darkened, "If these words had not come from your mouth, I would have been guilty of slander!"
After a while, the Queen Mother said again: "Your Majesty, do you have anything else to explain?"
"Your Majesty said that during the few days when he is away, your Majesty will attend the court..."
"How many days?" Even the empress is very self-restrained, but now she is resentful and angrily scolds the star king in front of her: "Taibai Jinxing, please get out of my way. Your majesty, the emperor of heaven, can't act so wantonly and waste the government. I personally
Go down to earth and find His Majesty."
Seeing the Queen's phoenix chariot proceeding again, how dare Taibai Jinxing stop her?
He gave way a little, then let the queen go.
When Taibai Jinxing saw the empress walking away, she quickly started to chase her, shouting: "If the empress comes down to earth, the government of this dynasty..."
Before he finished speaking, he could no longer see the empress. He saw her rushing out of the Nantian Gate from a distance. Only then did he shake the fly whisk, find a roll of imperial edict from his sleeve, and hold it high.
We went straight to Zihuiyuan.
After a while, Emperor Ziwei ascended to the sky, and a Yajun seat appeared next to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor. The Taibai Golden Star and the tower Li Tianwang led the ministers to pay homage.
Emperor Ziwei looked at the documents piled high on the eucalyptus in front of him, his expression neither sad nor happy.
The Jade Emperor was sitting in a ruined mountain dojo at the moment. He seemed to have a feeling and looked up to the sky.
He descended to earth in disguise, but it seemed that it had no impact on the three realms. The rotation of heaven was as usual, and there were still four emperors left... Oh, the Jade Emperor looked at the Taoist statue in front of him, and counted with his fingers for a long time, but he still found nothing.
If you get nothing, give up with a sigh.
"Sanzang and others seem to have arrived at Chechi Country..."
His figure faltered, leaving a shadow on the spot and disappearing.
...
Fahai asked: "What country is ahead?"
"Chechi Country." Xiao Bailong replied, and then said: "Master, there is a dilapidated and abandoned temple further ahead. It's better to stop there first and then tell the master the reason. Don't call this country a patrolling monk.
If you see us, you will cause trouble."
"good."
Fahai nodded in agreement.
He knew very well that no matter what the reason was, since this country was a place that respected Taoism and suppressed Buddhism, it was naturally inconvenient for their master and disciples to enter the city without permission. Besides, it was getting late, so it was time to stop and rest.
The little white dragon led everyone to the deserted suburbs outside the city. They saw a dilapidated temple in the mountains. The gate of the temple had long been destroyed, all the houses were dilapidated, weeds were overgrown, and insects and snakes were everywhere.
When Bajie saw it, he shouted, "Why aren't you even given a kitchen?"
When everyone saw this scene, no one said a word, everyone had their own thoughts.
Wu Jing put down his bag, took out a pen and paper, painted the scene in front of him on the scroll one by one, and said: "Amitabha."
"Junior brother is still a little cautious with his words." The great sage looked at it and jumped up on a half-high earth wall and said: "Master, look at this Buddhist temple, there is not even a single scratch in the temple, and the golden body of the statue has been smashed.
Throw it on the ground... Bully the Buddha? I see this country is almost destroying the Buddha."
"Master." Wukong cast a purifying spell, and then cast an insect-repelling spell, leading the master to what seemed to be a remaining bed, and said: "Master, sit first... This car is no better than before.
I'm afraid it may involve a dispute over the Buddhist and Taoist traditions, so I, Old Sun, would like to say... Master, it's not convenient for us to get involved in this matter, so we'd better take a detour."
Bajie said at the side: "That's right, that's right. To say that Xiniu Hezhou was originally the territory of Buddhism, but now that we have come here, there is still a country that dares to demolish Buddhist temples... Let's see, it must be some
The unreliable monk was evil to the king, and even the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Lingshan were unable to intervene to rescue him, which led to such a scene."
Wu Jing suddenly asked: "Is it possible that the Buddhas in Lingshan are a calamity test for the monks in this country, and only after they survive this calamity can they achieve the right results and ascend to bliss forever?"
Wu Jing's words reminded them of what happened in the Wuji Kingdom that day.
The Great Sage followed Wu Jing's words and said: "If this is the case...Master, it would be even more inconvenient for us to intervene. Don't ruin the opportunity of these practicing monks."
"Ao Lie." It was Fahai who called out Little White Dragon.
After listening to what these disciples said, he felt that it was reasonable, but he could not just rely on such conjectures. He had to find out the whole story before he could make a decision.
"Master."
"Just now you spoke in a hurry and did not tell the truth. Have you ever found out why Che Chiguo did such a thing?"
Xiao Bailong wanted to tell the reason for a long time, but he was a junior fellow apprentice, so he had to wait for several senior fellow apprentices to finish what he said before opening his mouth. At this moment, when his master asked, he quickly said: "Because this disciple first saw many dilapidated temples along the way, and then
Not far outside the city gate, I saw two Taoist priests, and they enslaved five hundred monks to do hard work. Feeling strange, I went into the city to inquire about it, and then I found out the reason."
"According to what my junior brother has discovered, is there really something else going on?"
"That's not true." Xiao Bailong spread his hands, "It's just because twenty years ago, the people in this car were suffering from severe drought. There was no rain from the sky, and there was no seedlings on the ground..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Everyone only listened to this first sentence, and their expressions became more and more exciting.
"It is said that at that time, no matter whether kings or ministers, big or small, every family bathed and burned incense, and every household worshiped the sky and prayed for rain..."
At this last sentence, everyone looked at each other meaningfully, and even Fahai couldn't help but close his eyes and recite Amitabha.
"What happened next?" Bajie asked, "Did Youdao Quanzhen also come and call the wind and rain?"
Xiao Bailong forcibly endured it and said in a deep voice: "It's quite different, because there are three Taoists coming from Chiguo in this car, not just one."
"Good fellow." The Great Sage asked: "Who is the emperor now?"
"Elder brother, I don't know. Although the Chechi Kingdom and the Wuji Kingdom have similar situations, they are different after all." Xiao Bailong organized his thoughts and said, "According to the people, in the past, Buddhism and Taoism existed side by side in the country.
When it rained, the monks were worshiping Buddha and the Taoist priests were complaining, asking for food and salary from the court. Unexpectedly, the monks spent a long time in vain and chanted Buddhist scriptures, but they could not help... But three great immortals came to the door, and they were able to call for wind and rain.
, saved all the people from suffering."
Bajie hummed at the side and said: "It makes the clouds spread rain. Instead of asking the Dragon King, he asks the monks to worship the Buddha, and the Taoist priests complain... How can the rain be brought in this way? Maybe those three great immortals are quite capable.
Magical power, the ability to control wind and rain."
Xiao Bailong said aside: "Second senior brother, if it is just the magical power of making wind and rain, that's fine. But listening to the people talking about the scene back then, I thought that the rain was not their magical power, but the writings of the Ministry of Thunder and the official duties of the Ministry of Water. It was really them
Asked for."
"Oh?" the great sage asked curiously: "Is there any supporting evidence?"
"Eldest brother must also be proficient in the magical power of making wind and rain. I wonder how much rain can be summoned by me? How many days will it last? How many miles will it be covered?" Little Bailong continued without waiting for the elder brother's reply: "These three people
The rain that the Immortal prayed for covered the whole country, and turned the long-drought land into fertile soil, so that the floods did not disappear..."
Xiao Bailong's words made everyone's hearts arouse again.
"Raising clouds and causing rain without heaven's will is a violation of heaven's rules... Listening to the words of the people in the city, these three immortals were honored as national teachers by the king after they successfully prayed for rain... In the future, they will also pray for rain.
It is invincible, which shows that it is not a magic method." Xiao Bailong said to the master and several senior brothers: "I'm afraid they really have some skills."
Everyone groaned again.
"Alas, Master... why did the country of Chechi suddenly suffer from drought? Could it be that these three great immortals deliberately cast spells?" Bajie said in surprise: "Junior brother said that they have the ability to seriously pray for rain.
Isn’t there a way to deal with the disaster?”
Fahai asked Xiaobailong, "Do you know any method that can make the lower realms pray for rain from heaven without any disadvantage?"
Asking monks to worship Buddha and Taoist priests to complain is indeed a common way to pray for rain. But unless they are really great monks, or have a complete Taoism, how can their Taoist documents and monks' family certificates go to heaven? Please
Can we fulfill the Jade Emperor’s will?
Xiao Bailong explained: "If you use the five thunder method to send out documents and burn the documents, you can go to the Jade Emperor's table in the heaven. On the ninth day of the decree, the sound of Yuan thunder will pervade the Tianzun Mansion, and it will rain according to the decree."
"
After hearing this, everyone shouted for knowledge. If Xiao Bailong hadn't told him explicitly, they would have really not known anything. The Great Sage thought for a long time and suddenly said: "As long as the document is sent up, even the Jade Emperor will have to issue an edict? You are the Five Thunder Technique."
How is it different from the Five Thunder Techniques that I know? I have never seen such magic in the Dao Zang of Wuzhuangguan Zhenyuan Immortal."
"This method is the method taught by Laojun personally. Therefore, when the Jade Emperor saw this order document, he also sent a decree of rain to the Ministry of Thunder. And because there are five thunder sounds when praying for rain, it is called the Five Thunder Method.
.This method can only be learned by students from the Sanqing sect... Senior brother, do you still remember the green-haired lion of the Wuji Kingdom?"
"Remember, remember."
"Before Manjushri Bodhisattva entered the Buddha, wasn't he the Yuanshi Tianzun's disciple Shushu Guangfa Tianzun? Therefore, the green-haired lion used these five thunder methods when praying for rain."
So that was the case, everyone nodded after hearing this.
"It turns out that they are members of the Sanqing sect. No wonder they dare to cause trouble like this in Xiniu Hezhou." The Great Sage scratched each other twice with his hands and said: "Master, let's rest here for the night and walk around the city tomorrow.
