Chapter 304 Why should such a Buddhist scum have to argue with his words?
Perhaps Master would be somewhat respectful to the emperors of the human world, and would even bow to them when meeting them.
But the great sage, a rebellious figure who even thought about the supremacy of the Jade Emperor and Lao Tzu, really did not take them seriously.
If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty were in person, he would be Master's sworn brother. He should bow to others and call others, but it would all be for Master's sake.
It's just that for the heads of other countries...well, except for the head of the Xiliang Kingdom, whoever dares to show off with him depends on whether the golden cudgel in his hand is strong or not.
It should be noted that when he went to the Aolai Kingdom, the leader of the Aolai Kingdom personally came out of the city to greet him.
Although this Sasai Kingdom is a bit bigger, in the eyes of the Great Sage it is just that.
"Don't be rude." Fahai told Wukong.
The Great Sage cupped his hands and said: "Disciple, don't worry. If the king of the country speaks rudely and loses his etiquette, I, the old grandson, will..."
"Wukong!"
Fahai's tone gradually became serious.
"Hey hey hey -" the great sage jumped away and said with a smile: "Disciple is just joking around. Master, please don't take it seriously. Don't take it seriously."
"Let me tell the leader of my country that my teacher will give lectures in Jinguang Temple tomorrow, and tonight I will burn incense, bathe, recite Buddha's name, and see no guests."
"yes."
The great sage somersaulted to the door of the temple, stopped the king who was about to enter the temple, and said: "My master is reciting Buddha's name in the temple. Lay people are not allowed to enter, so as not to disturb the Buddhist services."
When the lord of the country saw that he was talking to a short, hairy monk, he suddenly looked bad. That is to say, in the darkness of the night, he couldn't see clearly the thunderous face of the great sage, so he was about to have a seizure——
The old master on the side grabbed him and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, the master he mentioned is probably Master Tripitaka who retrieved the relics."
The monarch calmed down his expression slightly, but he did not intend to give up. He seemed to want to show off his imperial dignity and reprimand——
The old master hurriedly added: "This Master Tripitaka is the sworn brother of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in China. He was sent to the West Tianling Mountain to worship Buddha and seek scriptures... I heard that a while ago, Master Tripitaka and Zhenjun Erlang joined forces to kill him first.
He exterminated the fire in Huoyan Mountain, and then wiped out the monsters in Jilei Mountain..."
After all, the Jisai Kingdom is a powerful country, and with the great reputation of the relics in Jinguang Temple, they naturally have many practitioners here.
Perhaps the leader of the country is obsessed with pleasure and pays little attention to external affairs, but the Grand Master and the Prime Minister are different from the real ruling officials. If they do not know the news from the outside world, it proves that a country is really in decline.
This is why they pushed out the monks from Jinguang Temple when they learned that His Majesty was going to send troops to attack the Four Kingdoms.
They may not know who stole the relics, but it is not difficult to tell that it was a demon... After asking the guests in the mansion and the wise people in the country, they came to a conclusion... that the demon has magical powers
Guang Guang, they sensed the treasure being stolen that night, but they didn't dare to show up and take action.
The most important point is that they did not expect that there was no eminent monk protecting the temple in Jinguang Temple, and they watched the relics being stolen without doing anything.
It can be seen that the Jinguang Temple has long been decayed. The reputation of the temple depends entirely on the relics. The monks in the temple are all incompetent. They guard the relics and other Buddhist treasures without achieving anything.
They never told His Majesty about the demon stealing the treasure. Firstly, it was in case His Majesty ordered them to subdue the demon and regain the treasure... so that they were no match for the demon and lost their lives in vain. Secondly, they were also afraid that they would not be able to find the demon.
Their whereabouts made His Majesty angry, so he punished them again.
It happened that the monks of Jinguang Temple showed timidity, so someone used a trick, saying that it was the monks of Jinguang Temple who were guarding and stealing, so that they could escape the disaster.
This time I hid, I hid until now.
Although the king did not completely put the matter aside, he did not pay much attention to it. Occasionally, he remembered it and asked about the progress... The Minister of Justice in charge of the matter, at this time, arrested a group of people.
The monk of Jinguang Temple who was wandering in the city was tortured.
As for the result... of course there is no result.
I just didn't expect that tonight the relic would show its auspiciousness again on the top of the five-color glazed tower, causing a sensation in the whole city.
The Imperial Emperor of the Tang Dynasty... The Flame Mountain Fire was extinguished... The demons of Jilei Mountain headed by the Bull Demon King were wiped out...
These key pieces of information gathered together in the mind of His Majesty Jisaiguo. After pondering for a moment, he said, "I'm just saying that I'm here to visit. Can the young elder make an introduction?"
The Great Sacred Heart said: Everyone sees me as a little elder...but they don't know that I can be your ancestor and grandpa.
"My master said that tomorrow we will give a lecture at Jinguang Temple, and the whole city will be able to attend."
"Oh." His Majesty said quickly: "I have heard for a long time that Master Tripitaka is an eminent monk in the Celestial Dynasty. Now he does not avoid traveling far away to pray to Buddha and obtain sutras... It is amazing. Unlike the monks here who all recite empty sutras, do not know how to pray, and cannot pray for blessings.
Demons, in the past I only used the Buddha's treasure relics to hide them from me, but now that the relics have been lost, I can see their true colors."
The Great Sage was secretly amazed when he saw how quickly His Majesty changed his words...
The ministers on the side breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that there was nothing disrespectful in His Majesty's words.
Although their sacrificial kingdom is a superior state in the Western Region, it is naturally inferior to the Great Tang and other empires that are worshiped by all nations.
Although they belong to two states, the reputation of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has long been spread in the three realms... If the Flame Mountain was still burning in the past, there would be no need to be afraid... But now the fire in the Flame Mountain has long been extinguished, and the Iron Cavalry West
It's okay to come early... I have to ask people to treat it with caution.
"Tomorrow I will also lead a group of ministers to listen to Master Sanzang's sermon. It's already late tonight and I don't want to disturb Master Sanzang's practice and rest, so I'll leave now."
After saying this, the king drove back to the palace.
At the same time, he asked the guards to spread the word about Master Tripitaka’s lecture tomorrow.
The old master arranged for people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division to prepare for tomorrow's scene to prevent crowding and stampede accidents.
This Jinguang Temple has been in the country for more than a thousand years. There have been several eminent monks in the past, and some were even sent to Lingshan to pay homage to the Buddha. However, I don’t know since when, the monks in the temple have become more and more mediocre.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Even under the illumination of relics, there are very few people who can get some Buddhist charm.
The Great Sage sent away the leader of the Jisai Kingdom. Looking at the monks who were supposed to be tortured tomorrow but now escaped, he said coldly: "You are such incompetent and mediocre monks, you can't even take care of your own Buddha treasures."
Come on, if my master hadn't found him now, how would you explain it?"
How can we save sentient beings by only practicing Buddhism?
Besides, they don’t even understand Buddhism.
The monks heard the great sage's words harshly, but they naturally did not get angry thinking about their master's retrieval of the relics. At this moment, they wanted to go to see Master Tripitaka and thank him in person.
But an older monk said: "Can you ask me to pay homage to the relic..."
"Ke——!"
Although there was nothing wrong with what the monk said, the suspicious tone in which he spoke angered the Great Sage, who immediately showed a fierce look and said angrily: "Is the relic a treasure that you vulgar people can defile?"
Change source app]
The monk actually said: "The young monk just wants to confirm...whether this relic belongs to our temple..."
Peng!
The Great Sage took advantage of Master's absence to lift his leg and kick it.
"Hiss-ah!"
The Great Sage controlled his strength, for fear of kicking him to death, but this kick also kicked him out of the door.
It can be said that the Great Sage's temper has been much restrained. Many times, when he meets a demon calling him Bi Ma Wen, he can just laugh it off. At that time, his master also praised him for his broader mind and that sooner or later, he will be the whole person.
The three realms are contained in the chest.
But that's exactly what it is. It's okay to insult yourself, but if you want to slander your master out of thin air... that's absolutely not okay.
Even the great sage still had a sense of proportion, but this kick was done in an effort to punish the master.
That's all he doesn't regret.
After the monk was kicked out of the door, he broke out in a cold sweat. He thought the other party was going to kick him to death, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't dare to kill him.
"Amitabha."
Suddenly, a call from the Buddha came from the temple, and it was Fa Hai, wearing a cassock, walking in all directions and coming to the front of the monks.
Although everyone has never seen the appearance of Master Tripitaka, when they saw him now, their appearance already coincided with the one they had sketched in their minds.
Especially when I saw this young elder who was angry and angry, but after the mage appeared, he looked well-behaved and even came forward to call "Master"... Naturally, I confirmed that the person who came was none other than Master Sanzang.
undoubtedly.
Just when the atmosphere was a little condensed, the monk outside the door actually thought that he was coming from behind. He stood up and pointed at the great sage and accused: "Master...he dared to commit murder and hurt people in full view of everyone!"
When Fahai heard this, he frowned and looked at Wukong.
Wukong's heart tightened and he said: "Master, he..."
But when the master heard what he was saying, he turned around and ignored him. Instead, he walked towards the door of the temple, walked up to the monk, and happened to stop the monk who wanted to enter the temple.
When the monk was about to speak, the master stretched out his finger and touched his forehead. A golden light flashed...and the monk lay straight on the ground.
When the monks saw this, they became even more silent, not even daring to take a breath...
Not to mention these monks, even the Great Sage looked a little surprised. Why did Master suddenly attack an ordinary monk?
Before everyone could react, they saw the monk who had fainted turned over and woke up. He knelt outside the temple and kowtowed uncontrollably...kowting until his head was bleeding. While kowtowing, he also pushed himself past.
Explain the bad things you have done one by one——
Such as using his identity as a treasury steward to steal the temple's property; how to seduce a good woman to violate the precepts... and so on.
That is to say, he did not kill anyone, but he also violated the commandment of killing... He killed a wild dog that strayed to the temple and cooked it -
"Why bother with such a Buddhist scum?" Fa Hai looked at the Great Sage.
And the great sage seemed to see the long-lost words in his master's eyes: I will only teach you once.
"Among you, are there any monks from the Discipline Academy?"
Everyone just shook their heads.
"In this case, the poor monk will temporarily take over the monastic discipline in the temple."
When he subdued the yellow wind monster, Fahai even wanted to liberate Lingji Bodhisattva, let alone punish a monk who violated the precepts.
If you encounter demons committing crimes, Fahai will take action to save them. If you encounter monks who violate the precepts, Fahai will not be lenient.
"Is there anyone among you who violates the precepts?" Fahai asked the monks kneeling on the ground first.
As expected... among the more than twenty monks, only three or five young ones were unmoved. The rest all took the initiative to stand up and confess their sins to Fahai. Almost all of them were bullies.
Among them, the majority are those who occupy land, followed by those who violate the precepts of sexual immorality...
Ah.
No wonder the ministers want to attack Jinguang Temple, this is a one-stop deal... Jinguang Temple is worthy of the name of Jinguang Temple. It is truly unparalleled in wealth and riches that rivals the country.
Just listening to their explanations, I am afraid that even the king's internal funds are not as good as the private treasury of Jinguang Temple.
The Great Sage saw that this monk was explaining things so happily, and an idea came to his mind for no reason, and he said to the master: "Master, I will go to the Ministry of Punishment to see what the monks who were captured by the imperial court in the past have explained."
"Go ahead."
Except for a few Fa Hai who had no problem and asked them to stand up, the remaining monks who had violated the precepts were all kneeling outside the temple.
Some people have already begun to complain: "It's all your fault. Why did you want to see the relics? Otherwise, you wouldn't have troubled me until now."
"Hmph! Was it the poor monk who asked you to do such scandalous things?"
Winter winter winter!
"Now that something has happened, you are blaming me..."
Winter~Dongdong——
"Why don't you think about why it is you and I who are kneeling outside the temple?"
Dongdongdong——
For a while, the only sound outside the temple was the sound of kowtows.
The sound of kowtowing seemed to have some magical power. Originally, it was just one person kowtowing, but then the monks who had violated the precepts kowtowed together neatly.
The movement was not small, but it was hard to tell how much he felt sincere regret.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The scene outside Jinguang Temple is gradually spreading.
Benboerba and Baboerben, who were supposed to be guarding the tower, also ran out to take a look at the excitement, and then were caught red-handed by Master Sanzang...
Unexpectedly, Master Tripitaka sighed: "These monks bathed in the light of Shari Buddha are not as kind as you two..."
When the two of them were about to straighten their waists, they heard Master Sanzang say: "But even they can't bear the temptation of this mortal world... If you two stay here this time..."
Snap—!
The two fish monsters immediately knelt on the ground and swore an oath, saying that in the future they would uphold their nature, recite Buddhist scriptures every day, and do good deeds... If they violated their oath, they would be killed by thunder.
.
Bajie on the side said: "My Brother Monkey and Thunder Lord have been friends for a long time. If you two violate your oath, he can personally call Thunder Lord to execute you."
The two fish monsters fled.
Master Tripitaka has already entered the main hall, and with him are several young monks who are pure in nature and have never violated the precepts.
In the main hall, it was Xiao Bailong who was accompanying several young monks who had woken up.
"Master." Xiao Bailong stood up and said, "They are not tied here by people from the government."
"?"
"It was the abbot of the temple who ordered them to be tied here."
"Why?"
"Because the abbot suspected that they were naughty and stole the Buddha's relic..."
"Where's the abbot?"
"When the court came to take him away, he passed away before he left the temple."
Fahai asked again: "How come no one put them down later?"
"It happened that it was the day when the imperial court came to arrest people. The monks were caught and ran away... Who could take care of them? They were tied up here for a full year..." Xiao Bailong also
Without waiting for the master to ask, he explained directly: "It was said that there were two monsters who discovered them... and came to feed them some food every three to five times so that they would not starve to death. However, the two monsters came less frequently afterwards.
...and whenever their bodies could no longer bear it, they would call out to the Buddha for help...The golden body of the Buddha would emit a ray of Buddha's light and circulate in their bodies."
"It's also their destiny, so it won't interrupt the inheritance of the temple."
At this time, the two running boys Ba and Ba Bol Ben had just arrived in front of the tower, and Master Tripitaka's voice came to their ears: "You two can sit in the front row during the lecture tomorrow."
When they heard this, they immediately stopped and turned around to kowtow in thanks.
