Chapter 374: The poor monk Tang Sanzang; when the poor monk goes to Lingshan, he will ask the Buddha for advice on your behalf
Of course there is no obstacle.
This group of gangsters was also under the supervision of the shop owner Wang Xiaoer, and this time they were sent in just to catch a turtle in a jar.
Moreover, the shop owner also wanted to test the skills of these people. If they were really masters of the Tang Dynasty, these twenty or thirty gangsters would definitely not be their opponents.
But if they can't even pass this level, how can they survive the dangers and difficulties between the Tang Dynasty and this place?
And whether their identities are true or false is not that important.
The door was rushed open, and the customers in the store closed the doors and windows tightly, hiding in their rooms and shivering, thinking: How can any gangster dare to commit murder in the capital of the country?
Since the waiter in the store leads the way and they don't bother the ordinary customers, how rich do they have to be?
The master and servant from the Tang Dynasty are the living gods of wealth.
The thief rushed directly to the second floor. The store owner Wang Xiaoer winked outward, signaling that his subordinates who were ambushing around him were ready to take action at any time to prevent innocent people from being harmed.
Time is too tight to move the guests, otherwise the owner Wang Xiaoer would want to replace all the guests staying in the hotel with his own swordsmen to ensure that everything is safe.
However, there are many subordinates hiding in some empty rooms at the moment. If a fight breaks out, they will try to resolve the battle as quickly as possible and at the least cost.
Bang!
The door of the master and servant of the Tang Dynasty was kicked open.
The shop owner, Wang Xiaoer, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and raised his hand high. If there was something wrong, he would take his subordinates.
Then his hand was kept raised and never fell down.
Because after the sound of the kick on the door, there was no other sound coming from the second floor.
Not to mention calls for help or begging for mercy, there was no sound of fighting, so it was obviously even more wrong.
Driven by curiosity, the owner Wang Xiaoer stepped up to the second floor. Seeing that Mr. Chen's door was open, he walked forward cautiously and listened for a moment. When there was no sound in the room, he quickly poked his head around.
, and then retracted.
If there were others around him, they would definitely be able to see the change in his expression.
From caution to horror, then to confusion, and now to an incredible look - as if he had been hit by a ghost.
When he stuck his head out just now, he saw a total of twenty-eight criminals, including three traitors in the store. None of them could stand up. They were all lying on the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
And the moment he retracted his head, he was facing a total of eight eyes of the master and servant.
The owner Wang Xiaoer took a step forward, bowed to everyone in the room, and said apologetically: "Sorry, I'm down here."
"Those gangsters committed crimes, but we knocked them unconscious here." Although Fahai learned the details of the shopkeeper Wang Xiaoer from the Great Sage, he did not wait for him to reveal his identity and said first: "I wonder if the shopkeeper can send the officers and soldiers to
Recruit them and send them to prison to face charges?"
The shop owner Wang Xiaoer was blocked, so he had to answer the gentleman first: "The villain has already reported to the official when he came up. I think there will be a response soon."
There was a tacit understanding between the two parties. When the owner Wang Xiaoer saw that the other party was giving him a step, he naturally borrowed the donkey from the slope and did not stay on the second floor longer. After that, he went downstairs and dismissed his subordinates.
Although everyone was confused, they all obeyed the order and retreated without getting entangled.
Not long after, people from Wuchengsi came to the door. They obviously got the news in advance. They just took the thieves away, and then roughly asked the shop owner and Fa Hai about the incident, and then left first, without saying anything.
Too much intrusion here.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning.
Then the eunuch from the palace came to invite him personally.
The owner Wang Xiaoer hurriedly knocked on the door of his husband's room, but he never expected that a monk wearing a bright red cassock walked out of the door.
"oops!"
The shop owner Wang Xiaoer screamed in surprise, and his heart, which was not calm at first, suddenly stirred up a storm.
How could this happen?
No matter how much he thought about it, he never imagined that the scribe who was wielding a sword yesterday night would turn into a mage who upheld the precepts this morning.
"Amitabha." Fahai recited the Buddha's name and explained to Wang Xiaoer, the shop owner: "The poor monk Tang Sanzang is a monk who went to Tianling Mountain in the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures. He passed by your country yesterday. Because it was getting late, he knew that
The king ordered the monks to be killed, so he disguised himself."
The shop owner Wang Xiaoer smiled bitterly and said: "A mage should just pretend to be the best, so why show his true identity now?"
The great sage on the side said: "My master disguised himself yesterday because he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble. Today he returned to his true form as a monk because my master is the sworn brother of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and traveled west to the Daleiyin Temple in Lingshan Mountain, Tianzhu.
Now, as an envoy from the Tang Dynasty, I want to see the leader of your country."
The owner Wang Xiaoer signaled Master Sanzang to wait a moment, hurriedly went downstairs, and quickly explained the whole story to the "angel" in the palace.
Even if the eunuch heard this, he would still be the first and the second. But he still glared at the shop owner Wang Xiaoer. If he hadn't said that a great Chinese scholar came to the shop, how could he have caused His Majesty in the palace to start a fight?
What is the purpose of asking for advice?
But then he thought about it and said to himself: Well, since he is the emperor's younger brother of the Tang Dynasty and a military official in the west, he cannot avoid it no matter what when he comes to his own country.
Thinking of this, the eunuch said solemnly: "Since you are an eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty, please come out and enter the palace with us."
A quick horse had already returned to the palace to report.
The morning court had dispersed, and the king was reviewing the memorial in the royal study. A young eunuch quickly walked in and explained the identity change between Chen Yi and Tripitaka, waiting for His Majesty's instructions.
When the king first heard this, he thought it was a bit strange, but he was not angry because of it.
After thinking for a moment, he made up his mind and said to the young eunuch: "After they enter the palace, they will be led directly to the imperial study."
"Here."
The little eunuch agreed, turned around and left the imperial study, closed the door and went to the palace door to wait quietly.
The king of the country is not a murderer, and the reason why he used the Buddhist temple to carry out the attack is because the behavior of the monks in the country is too excessive and has exceeded his bottom line.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Let’s not talk about anything else, except that after destroying the Buddha, the property and land deeds copied from various temples were actually more than what he, the so-called master of a country,
The monarch is also rich. Many times more than what the spies under his command have revealed.
It's also that they are too unauthentic.
If they only charge some money for incense, the king would turn a blind eye. After all, in the Buddhist realm of Xizhou, monks and Buddhist temples are more or less favored by various countries.
But often their virtues cannot withstand the strength of a country, and in the end they all have their retribution.
Not to mention that other countries that shelter bandits and even actively collude with other countries may not have the courage, but the leader who destroyed France obviously cannot tolerate sand in his eyes, otherwise he would be sorry for the "Shenzi" left by the old prime minister to him.
.
Shenzi was one of the hundreds of sages in the Warring States period. He learned Huang Lao's moral skills in his early years and gained a lot. Shenzi was knowledgeable about the territory and studied everything. He studied the Five Classics, and became good at "Yi", and then became a family of his own.
He became one of the founders of Legalism during the Warring States Period in China. He once lectured at Jixia Academy in Qi State and enjoyed a high reputation.
Because he was deeply influenced by Taoism, he was called "Taoist Legalist".
But no matter what, his Legalist scholarship is enough to be regarded as a sage classic in Western countries like France. Although the ruler of the country has many things he doesn't like, he still can't put it down.
The ruler of the country did not want to target the Buddhist monks, but the Buddhist temples in the country were arrogant and asked him to stir up the power of the country and suppress them.
This is an upright and upright legal approach, not a capricious act by the monarch.
This he learned from "Shenzi".
The Buddhist temples were just the first step for him. He really wanted to enrich the country and strengthen the people, but he was still far from eradicating these superficial Buddhist temples.
He originally thought that he could learn some knowledge about state governance from this gentleman from the Tang Dynasty, but he did not expect that the Confucian gentleman would become a Buddhist mage.
After all, there is no harm in meeting Chinese characters.
Fahai was the only one who came, and several of his disciples stayed in the inn.
"The poor monk Tang Sanzang, I have met Your Majesty." Fahai was as polite as ever, saying hello first when meeting people.
The head of the kingdom looked at Master Tripitaka below and said in his heart: He really looks like an eminent monk. Although he does not know the details of his Buddhist teachings, based on his temperament, he knows that he must be a great Buddhist sect.
There is no need to elaborate on the appearance and temperament of Master Tripitaka. Only evil monsters along the way would suspect that he is a monster monk.
"Master, please sit down." The king stretched out his hand to signal Master Tripitaka to take a seat. After Master Tripitaka took his seat, he asked: "I heard that Master was ordered by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to go to Tianzhu to worship Buddha. Have you ever seen him on this journey?
A country like mine?"
"Everyone is different, and countries are different." Fahai smiled at the king and said, "When I passed by Zhenhai Zenlin Temple before, I also heard that the Buddhist temples in the poor country colluded with bandits. It has almost become a common practice. But in their country
I have suffered it all my life, but Your Majesty has a great plan, and if you dare to do it, you can be called a hero."
Fa Hai recognized the actions of this country leader.
Not all kings would dare to destroy the Buddha, not to mention this is Xizhou.
The country's leader was very surprised when Master Tripitaka praised him. There were many Buddhist temples in his country, and there were also many so-called eminent monks, but what did they say?
It’s nothing more than spreading kindness, eating fast, chanting Buddha’s name, giving incense, being a benevolent king who loves the people, etc.
The king of the country does not deny that he spreads benevolence widely. All the people in the country are his subjects. He will naturally love and care for them without others telling them.
He did the same.
The Buddhist temple colluded with bandits and brought harm to the people. Therefore, it was destroyed.
Then the monks in the Buddhist temple said that he was a cruel and intolerable tyrant, and that if he committed such murderous acts, he would go to endless hell after death.
Just now he asked the eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, he was mentally prepared to be lectured, but he did not expect that he would say such words and it was not deliberately flattering. The eminent Tang monk's tone and demeanor were very natural, as if he was evaluating someone.
An ordinary thing.
With just one word, most of the stagnation accumulated in his heart since he destroyed the Buddha was dissipated. At this moment, he couldn't help but want to laugh a few times!
But when the old prime minister, the king of his country, taught him, he once said that he should not show his emotions in front of others, so he remained calm.
The king of the country was looking at Tripitaka, and Fahai was also looking at him. Seeing that the king could stick to his true heart and not be moved by others, he secretly nodded. If France was not destroyed by natural disasters and the wrath of the Buddha, it would be the overlord of the country from now on.
At least it must be above the Jisai Kingdom.
Amitabha. There are so many outstanding people in the land of Xizhou. Fortunately, the land is vast and rich in resources, and there are many dangerous passes between the countries. Otherwise, sooner or later there will be a chaotic war.
Just like when Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, were the Six Kingdoms really too weak?
Maybe Qin is too strong.
The king suddenly thought of a piece of information that had been transmitted not long ago, and asked Master Tripitaka for advice: "I heard before that in the country of the poor woman, in just a few days, all the bandits who were protected by the Buddhist temple were imprisoned, and the monks who acted improperly were also imprisoned.
They were all brought to justice. In other countries, even those who dare not impose criminal punishments, two Buddhist guardians took those lawless monks into custody in a busy city, pointed out their crimes, and punished them in public."
"Dare I ask about this? Does the mage know about it?"
Fa Hai clasped his hands together and said, "Those who have tarnished the reputation of Buddhism will deserve retribution. Moreover, this poor monk became a monk at a young age. He was appointed by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to be the great monk in the world. He was the leader of the group of monks and received the guidance of the Bodhisattva.
To eliminate the evil deeds in the three realms. Therefore, when passing by Zhenhai Chanlin Temple, I heard about the incident in the poor country, so I sent two disciples to punish them."
The king was even more surprised when he heard this, and thought to himself: Is this what a monk really looks like?
He touched the "Shenzi" in his hand and said in his heart: Really, the people of the Celestial Dynasty are far beyond those of us in the small country of Xizhou.
Then he had doubts in his mind, and since Master Tripitaka was upright, he asked directly: "Since Master has this Dharma, why do you have to travel thousands of miles to Xizhou to learn the scriptures?"
"Because there are scriptures in Xizhou, Lingshan is the main sect of Buddha after all, so I should go there to pay homage. Besides, Your Majesty has an order, so it is my duty to do so."
"The monks in our country's Buddhist temples only know how to chant sutras behind closed doors. How can they have any respect for the master?" The king sighed and said, "I heard that the master came into the city in disguise last night, and it must have been because of my order."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Because at night, if you dress up as a monk and enter the city, it may cause a lot of disputes, so we came up with this strategy."
"Since the Master pretends to be a scholar, he must be proficient in Chinese Confucian classics, right?" The king's eyes lit up slightly.
"I dare not say that I am proficient in it. I have dabbled in all the Four Books and Five Classics, but I have gained a little bit from Gongyang Chunqiu."
"Central Plains culture, I have longed for it for a long time, but unfortunately the journey is far away, and it will never be available. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to hear the sage words of Confucianism?"
"Amitabha." Fahai recited the Buddha's name and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is not afraid of a poor monk, an ordinary monk who is good at preaching Confucian scriptures and confuses grammar. The poor monk can explain some simple opinions."
"Great kindness!" The king came down from the top, asked the left and right to retreat, and met each other with the courtesy of disciples, preparing to ask Master Tripitaka for Confucian knowledge.
But before that, he still explained, "I said that I wanted to kill four famous monks. In fact, I didn't care about Qinghong's non-indiscriminate killing. I just wanted to spread this statement and tell the monks to stay away from our country. Although I have
As the king of a country, but sitting high in a temple, it is really difficult to distinguish the authenticity of monks in the world. If I have offended you in any way, I hope the Master will forgive me."
After finishing speaking, the king asked cautiously: "Would my previous actions have offended the Buddha?"
"Amitabha."
Fahai recited the Buddha's name and said with a smile: "Aren't the ones who offended the Buddha those gangsters who caused trouble and the Buddhist temples that protected the evildoers? If your majesty is worried that the Buddha will be angry because of this, wait for the poor monk to go to Lingshan and pray to the Buddha on your behalf.
Please advise me. When I pass by your country on my way back from studying for Buddhist scriptures, I will give your Majesty an accurate message."
The king was shocked when he heard this!
What kind of monk is this person in front of me?!
Bandits.
Predators and killers are like tigers and leopards in the mountains and forests, like ghosts in the underground. The common people are afraid of them, they are disgusted by them, they hate their cruelty and fear their tyranny!
Immortal.
Those who have attained the Tao are also those who have become immortals. They can achieve great success or turn the world upside down. People in the world call them immortals, admire their freedom, and envy their unrestrained style.
And I am both a bandit and an immortal. I am... a bandit immortal!
