The handwriting on the scriptures was written by a special method. Once it encounters magic power, it will melt. Therefore, it needs to be dried in the sun, and it is not practical to dry it with magic power.
Of course, it's not impossible, but it's just that there are hundreds of volumes of scriptures, and the precise control of mana drying is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is not as simple as drying it directly.
Tang Seng wanted to refuse, but then he thought about his life experience and agreed.
The four masters and disciples began to lift up the scriptures that had been dried on the bluestone on the shore.
Seeing this, Bai Gui also stepped forward to help.
However, what I never expected was that the bluestone stuck to several volumes of Buddhist scriptures and tore them apart with a slight tug. The Sanskrit characters on several pages of scriptures immediately disappeared and turned into wordless scriptures.
Instead, some scriptures were left on the bluestone.
Tang Monk felt remorseful and recited sutras to repent.
Not to mention that this Buddhist sutra was given by the World Honored Tathagata. He went through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships and endured endless suffering before seeking the true sutra. Now that several volumes of sutras are incomplete, how can I not regret it at all? Let alone
He said that he believed that this Buddhist scripture was a panacea for relieving the disasters of the people in Nanzhan tribe.
"The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one of them is Man Escape. There are a few pages of scriptures left on this bluestone, which are in line with the Heavenly Dao. Master Xuanzang, there is no need to worry too much."
Bai Gui advised.
This monk can repent, but he can sit quietly and recite sutras. Even half an hour is considered short. If it is long, such as such a "blasphemous" act, it is not impossible to recite repentance sutras for several days and nights.
He had to give some advice, both emotionally and rationally. He didn't want to stay here. It would have been fine if he hadn't been with Tang Seng, but now that he was with Tang Seng, it was hard to abandon him.
The three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism are integrated into one. Even though Tang Monk is a monk, he is also a Taoist. His expression softened slightly and he thought for a moment. The reason why this scripture is broken like this is that it does have its Zen meaning," said Taoist Master Bai.
That’s right, this bluestone will stay here for those who are destined to do it.”
Every volume of Buddhist scriptures has the key to practice. The few pages of scriptures imprinted on this bluestone are no better than immortals, but they are different for ordinary creatures. Listen carefully, and it seems that there is a monk inside this bluestone scripture.
Then recite the sutra and teach the Taoism.
"This is the beauty of Mahayana."
Sun Wukong understood the nature of Buddha well and talked and laughed.
"Several elders and Taoist priests, it's getting dark soon. If we don't leave, it will be too late." The fisherman urged. He was still catching fish. The fish were short of water and could not stay on the shore for a long time.
After packing the scriptures into the box and cage, several people followed the fisherman into Chenjiazhuang.
Before entering Chenjiazhuang, a few miles away from the village, some villagers outside the village saw Tang Monk and his group. Their unique appearance was unforgettable in their lifetime, and they quickly ran into the village to inform the villagers. Therefore,
When we reached the entrance of the village, village elders, wealthy households, and some common people set up incense burners and rushed to greet him.
The rich man Chen Qing thanked Tang Seng for rescuing his daughter earlier, so he prepared a meal for her.
"Donor, this poor monk doesn't want to eat."
Tang Monk waved his hand and refused.
He shed his fleshly womb and became a ghost spirit. Although he could eat again, eating would defile the Buddha's body. Moreover, without a physical body, he had no desire to eat or drink.
If he were to eat at this moment, he would only be able to stomach the Immortal Family's Immortal Banquet.
It is not an empty talk that gods eat their breath and live longer. This fairy banquet of the immortal family can be enjoyed by the immortals with flesh bodies and they will be happy. The gods without flesh can also enjoy their physical and mental pleasure by eating their breath.
"This elder pig, why don't you eat anything?"
It was okay for Tang Seng not to eat. After all, Tang Seng was a pure-hearted person, and everyone in Chenjiazhuang also knew it, but Zhu Bajie was not an ascetic person. After helping Chenjiazhuang last time, he wanted to eat and drink well. However,
A feast was prepared today, but Zhu Bajie refused to eat.
A very strange thing.
"Somehow, my spleen and stomach suddenly became weak." Zhu Bajie said casually.
He washed his Tao body at Lingyundu. Although he was still a pig fetus and could not purify his body, he was much stronger than before. If he eats ordinary food at this time, it will not be good if he misses the Taoist line.
Sun Wukong only eats wild fruits and does not eat vegetarian food.
As for Sha Seng, the role can be omitted.
"This Taoist Priest..."
The village elder looked troubled and asked Bai Guidao for instructions.
Tang Seng and his disciples all refused to eat, and no one used the delicious vegetarian food. This inevitably brought Chenjiazhuang's face down and Chenjiazhuang's favor...
Very inappropriate!
Bai Gui understood the reasons for Tang Monk and the four of them, nodded, took a bowl of plain noodles, and finished eating slowly.
He is an immortal with perfect merits and virtues, and this mortal thing cannot damage his Taoist body.
"I don't know where the growth comes from?"
The village elder breathed a sigh of relief, put on a smile, and asked.
It would inevitably make them a little embarrassed if their benefactor did not eat the fast food they prepared. But if you eat it in vain, even though you are not their benefactor, you are still a guest, so this welcome gift is considered complete.
When he saw Taoist Bai Gui dressed up, he knew immediately that he was not a monk who went to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures.
"Pindao came from the Tang Dynasty in the east and had an old relationship with Elder Tang. After being a guest in Lingshan, he went back to the southern continent with Elder Tang." Bai Gui introduced a few words briefly.
But when these words fell into the ears of everyone in Chenjiazhuang, they were horrified and could not stop for a long time.
What a Taoist could be a guest in Lingshan.
While the group was chatting, they had already arrived at the home of Chen Qing, a wealthy man in Chenjiazhuang. Chen Qing was financially powerful in Chenjiazhuang and could provide accommodation for several people.
"Old countryman, I want to ask you something."
After the villagers dispersed, Tang Seng asked the village elder to stay, and then said: "Thirty-two years ago, was there a baby missing in your village..."
He searched for Jiang Liu'er's few memories and asked them one by one.
"It's a pity that there is this child. At that time, the King of Inspiration had just come to Tongtian River and asked us to offer sacrifices. It was not this child. His family was poor... so we could only give up the child and throw it in the wooden basin.
.”
The old man replied.
His words were sincere, but the unfamiliarity in his voice made people shudder.
The clothes are simple and old-fashioned.
If the King of Inspiration asked the Chen Family Manor to sacrifice boys and girls, the first ones to be sacrificed would not be the children of the rich family, but the children of the poor family.
"Later, the child's parents jumped into the river and died!"
The village elder briefly told the ending.
After finishing speaking, he was stunned for a moment and looked at Tang Seng, "Elder Tang asked this little old man, but what's the important matter?"
When he said this, he felt that there must be something secret here.
But he didn't think Tang Seng was the first baby to be abandoned in the village.
One is in Xiniuhezhou, and the other is in Nanzhanbuzhou. The Tongtian River does not lead to Nanzhanbuzhou and the Tang Dynasty in the east. No matter how you think about it, this Tang monk has nothing to do with the baby.
"Amitabha."
Tang Monk twirled his beads and said the Buddha's name.
The village elder was puzzled. Seeing that Tang Monk didn't want to answer and just closed his eyes, he bowed and left.
"Master, repay retaliation. The Chen Family Village abandoned you back then. It's fitting that they almost lost their descendants and were eaten up by the King of Inspiration!"
Sun Wukong sneered.
He held the golden cudgel and thought it was ridiculous. In the Tongtian River disaster, he didn't expect that the people he saved were cannibal monsters. Previously, when the Inspiration King was still around, he even teased Chen Qing and made Chen Qing give up his family wealth.
He bought other people's children and sent them to die. But when this happened to Tang Seng, he suddenly felt a lot sadder.
"Amitabha, the great king of inspiration came because of the poor monk, and also left because of the poor monk. After all, it was the poor monk who implicated the people of Chenjiazhuang, no wonder them. With children in front of him, how could he give up his own flesh and blood to devote himself to that inspiration?
King."
Tang Monk was silent for a while and then said.
Now that he has given up his body, he has lost all the family ties in this life. In addition, as he said, the disaster in Chenjiazhuang was caused by him. After all, he has a great relationship with him. Everyone in Chenjiazhuang suffered an unreasonable disaster.
As for why the Inspiration King wanted to have his own flesh and blood after that, I'm afraid it has something to do with it.
Tang Seng does not want revenge, and everyone will not take matters into their own hands.
It is also Tang Monk who is kind-hearted. Although the Buddha forbids killing, he does not necessarily allow others to bully him without taking revenge. If he really wants to kill someone, he does not necessarily have to do it himself. He can just make some calculations and let others kill for him.
Chen Yuanwai's home is luxurious and has many houses.
Bai Gui lived alone in a wing room and meditated at night.
"Fellow Taoist Bai, you have come to Tongtian River, why don't you say hello to me?" Just as Bai Gui was adjusting his breath, there was a sound in his ears, and then a Taoist stood outside the door.
"Fellow Taoist Ruyi."
Bai Gui opened his eyes, left the wing in an instant, and bowed his head.
The two exchanged greetings.
"The old white turtle of Tongtian River has something to do with me. After he shook off the pilgrim, he was worried about the monkey head's revenge, so he hid in my Jie Yang Mountain."
Ruyi Zhenxian explained.
The Kingdom of Naughty is not far from the Tongtian River, and the two are close to each other. As a great demon, it is normal for the old white turtle to interact with the great demon Ruyi Zhenxian.
"So that's why."
Bai Gui nodded, "The poor Taoist is accompanying the Buddhist scripture collector. The Buddhist scripture collector once had a quarrel with you, and let the red boy go to Guanyin Bodhisattva to be a good boy... It's not easy for the poor Taoist to go there and say hello."
"What does this have to do with each other? One thing is the same thing and it cannot be generalized."
Immortal Ruyi laughed a few times and said smoothly.
He doesn't mind this matter. For example, Sun Wukong and the Great Sage Heping Tian were not sworn brothers. Although there is a rift between the pilgrims and the Great Sage Heping Tian, it is not a deep hatred, not a matter of life and death. Besides, my friend Guang Tianxia, if
If we really cut off the relationship because of this, then everyone will look like enemies.
"Fellow Taoist Ruyi came to see me, why?"
After a few pleasantries, Bai Gui asked.
Although he had a friendship with True Immortal Ruyi, it was only a casual acquaintance. However, Sanyao Che Chi and True Immortal Ruyi did have a good friendship.
"Fellow Taoist, you are an official of heaven..."
Immortal Ruyi pondered for a moment, "To be honest with you fellow Taoist, my sister-in-law and eldest brother got into trouble because of the Red Boy incident, and now no one cares about the other. Mothers always think about their own children. But Red Boy is here
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is a good-luck boy, and my sister-in-law has no relatives or relatives, so it’s hard for her to come and visit..."
It's a simple thing. Although the Pingtian Great Sacred Bull Demon King is not small in appearance, in the end it is just a demon force that is outside the jurisdiction of the heaven. It seems huge, but this is only for the demons without heels.
In the eyes of immortals and gods, there is not much difference between Pingtian Great Sacred Bull Demon King and ordinary casual cultivators.
In addition, Princess Iron Fan has a quarrel with the Bull Demon King, so she will definitely not be able to rely on the Bull Demon King's power. And her background is only a princess of the Rakshasa Kingdom...
"This matter... well, Fellow Taoist Tie Fan once entertained Pindao. It was just a trivial matter. Pindao has no reason not to agree. I just don't know where Fellow Taoist Tie Fan is?"
Bai Gui frowned a little and replied.
When a mother sees her son, Guanyin Bodhisattva will definitely let Princess Iron Fan see her. He guessed that Princess Iron Fan’s purpose is more than that. She might want to ask Guanyin Bodhisattva for a pass token, or ask Bai Gui to be a lobbyist and fix her.
Time allows mother and son to meet each other, such as once a year or once a month.
Before seeing an official, one must first be timid.
What's more, it is one of the four great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism like Guanyin Bodhisattva.
The gap is too big.
Just like in a county, if a family member commits a crime and is imprisoned, he will never go to the county magistrate himself to tell the truth. Instead, he will ask the county magistrate, the clerk of the sixth house, etc.
The person who met him went to the county magistrate to be a lobbyist.
The reason why great monsters like True Immortal Ruyi and Princess Iron Fan made friends with Bai Gui before he became famous is for this kind of thing. Officials protect each other, and only officials can talk to each other.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, my sister-in-law is waiting by the Tongtian River."
Immortal Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that his friendship with Bai Gui, a heavenly official, was not in vain.
After saying that, he stepped forward to lead the way.
Both of them had strong cultivation, and they reached the bank of Tongtian River in a blink of an eye.
Princess Iron Fan, whose face was covered with white gauze, looked more fragile and pitiful than before. When she saw Bai Gui, she also regained her former arrogance. Yingying bowed and said, "I have met Taoist Bai, please leave me with this matter."
Mr. Bai, if you can succeed, I will never be able to repay you even if I sacrifice my life."
Immortal Ruyi did not hear the hidden meaning behind the words, and just thought that his sister-in-law was in a hurry and was in a panic. Moreover, these words of thanks were extremely normal. It was just that the promise she made was a bit heavy.
"Princess, there is no need to worry."
Bai Gui coughed slightly and said, "The princess entertained Pindao for three days last time. Besides, this red boy also called Pindao his uncle. Because of his love and reason, Pindao should also lend a helping hand."
After hearing this, Princess Iron Fan nodded lightly. She looked at True Immortal Ruyi and said, "Uncle, it's enough to have fellow Taoist Bai here. You are busy with work. When that guy sees me begging you, he will definitely laugh at me secretly..."
That guy, Ruyi Zhenxian knew that his sister-in-law should be referring to his brother.
Also, after Princess Iron Fan had a quarrel with her brother, it was inappropriate to ask him for help. Besides, it was really not good for her brother to know about this matter.
"That being the case..."
Immortal Ruyi sighed and bowed her hand to Bai Gui, "I would like to ask fellow Taoist Bai to help my sister-in-law a lot. I will leave for now so that you two can have a good discussion."
"This is the right thing to do."
Bai Gui returned the gift and said.
As soon as Ruyi Zhenxian finished speaking, he stepped on the auspicious clouds and headed towards Jieyang Mountain, and soon his figure disappeared.
"There is no one in the Tongtian River Water Palace for the time being. Old Bai Yu has left. Taoist Master Bai, how about you and I go inside to discuss things?"
Princess Iron Fan said with her apricot eyes slightly red.
"Can."
Bai Gui nodded.
Beside the Tongtian River, although there is no one, there is wind. If there are immortals and gods with good ears and ears, they can know the content of their conversation. In the water palace, there are restrictions set up to isolate the ears and eyes of others.
