Sun Wukong was uninterested, but Bai Gui was curious.
There is no doubt that the nun from Ganye Temple who went to meet Monk Tang was Wu Jue who became a monk. Why did Wu Jue go to see Monk Tang? The preacher went to meet the sutra collector. He got the guidance of the immortal Buddha, or in other words, went to
It’s just Wu Jue’s own idea...
Tang Seng's current status should not be underestimated. He relies on Xitian Buddhism. Even if Li Shimin knew that Tang Seng did not ask for the Immortal Sutra for him, he still had to take care of Buddhism and had to compromise.
"Great Sage, why don't you and I go to the Inspiration Temple together to meet this nun?"
Bai Gui stood up and said.
Although Wu Jue is just an ordinary person now, in the future, like Tang Seng, he will be a figure who stirs up the world's affairs. He must not be careless. And from Wu Jue's mouth now, he may also be able to get some information about secrets. For him,
It may affect part of the plan.
Sun Wukong nodded.
The two men immediately turned into a wisp of breeze and left the Bai mansion. There was a curfew in Chang'an, but the Wuhou in Wuhoupu were obviously unable to detect Bai Gui and Sun Wukong.
After a few breaths, we arrived at the Inspiration Temple.
In the Zen room at the back of the temple, Tang Monk and Wu Jue were sitting opposite each other. One was a handsome monk with red lips and white teeth, and the other was also a stunningly beautiful woman. If they had not been innocent and Bai Gui knew their personalities, they would have mistakenly thought that they were one monk.
, a nun, had a private meeting here.
Bai Gui and Sun Wukong paused at the door.
Sun Wukong wanted to rush in, but Bai Gui stopped him. Then he knocked on the door several times.
Sun Wukong and Tang Seng are familiar with each other, and they are masters and disciples. Furthermore, Sun Wukong is a man from the mountains, so it is understandable that he does not know etiquette. But after all, he has a name and surname, so it is better to talk about etiquette.
There was a banging on the door.
Tang Monk apologized to Wu Jue and opened the door latch.
"Taoist Bai, you and Wukong?"
Tang Monk looked puzzled.
Before he opened the door, he mistakenly thought that it was a monk from the Inspiration Temple knocking on the door asking for an audience. It was unlikely that Bai Gui would disturb him rashly at night.
"Pindao heard that people from Ganye Temple met with Master Xuanzang late at night. Out of curiosity, he came here specifically to see him."
Bai Gui held the fly whisk in his arms and looked calm and calm.
At his status and status, although he is not unscrupulous, it is still okay to do as he pleases. Furthermore, his relationship with Tang Seng is not superficial, and it is not offensive to disturb him late at night.
"Master Xuanzang, please don't blame me."
he apologized.
"Taoist Master Bai is willing to meet the poor monk. This is the poor monk's good fortune."
Tang Monk clasped his hands together and nodded.
He wouldn't blame ordinary people for disturbing him. What's more, Bai Gui, a scholar who is proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, would only be happy if he could talk to Bai Gui late at night.
"Please come in, Mr. Bai."
Tang Monk made an invitation.
Bai Gui then entered, and Sun Wukong followed closely.
"I've met Taoist Bai."
Wu Jue stepped forward and bowed.
A trace of surprise flashed across her expression. She had a deep memory of Bai Gui who changed her destiny. If it weren't for Bai Gui, she might have been the concubine of Wei King Li Tai now. She would not have been reduced to becoming a monk in Ganye Temple and wasted.
Five or six years of youth.
It is impossible to say that I don't hate Bai Gui.
But she didn't dare to hate him. Even when she met Bai Gui in his private house, she didn't know who Bai Gui was. Bai Gui deliberately concealed his identity. But then, when she thought about it carefully, she understood. How powerful is the King of Wei?
How could you respect a Taoist like this? According to legend, this Taoist was the teacher of King Li Tai of the former Wei Dynasty and the former Chief Secretary of the Palace of the Palace of the Moon.
"Wu Niangzi."
Bai Gui returned the favor.
The four of them sat in the Zen room. However, because of his and Sun Wukong's intervention, Wu Jue and Tang Seng were unable to talk freely and spoke very little.
"The four of you and I, being guests at this Inspiration Temple late at night, it would be a bit rude."
He took the initiative to open up the conversation.
"Great Sage, please follow me to the Heavenly Palace to get some food so that you can entertain Lady Wu."
Bai Gui glanced at Wu Jue and knew what Wu Jue was thinking in his heart. But he couldn't say it directly. It was certain that Wu Jue hated him. Of course, he didn't mind such things.
It’s just that... Wu Jue is a preacher and a son of Buddha Lusena. If he does bad things in the future, it will not be worth it. Going to the Heavenly Palace to get food is, firstly, to resolve the grudges, and secondly, to declare his strength and let Wu Jue
I can't even feel hatred.
Once a person's strength reaches a certain level.
A little bit of hatred naturally disappeared.
"What?"
Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, shook his head and waved his hands, saying: "I, the old Sun, ate in heaven and broke into the Yaochi banquet. These gods and gods hate me. Every time I go to bring in reinforcements, they also
Not to mention giving me some wine and food to try, I will go to the Heavenly Palace to ask for it now..."
The journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures is a major event for Buddhism, so Sun Wukong mobilizes reinforcements, and these immortals and gods will give him face. But the face is given to Buddhism, not to him, the hozen. Even though the immortals and gods do not treat him coldly, there is a slight difference, and this clever stone monkey
How could you not feel it.
"It's a small thing."
Bai Gui laughed and said, "I'll go to heaven and treat you to some flat peaches."
"Peach?"
Sun Wukong's mouth was filled with fluid.
He also ate a lot at the usual fairy banquets. But how could it be compared with flat peaches? Besides, he was of the monkey genus and liked to eat spiritual fruits the most. However, he was suppressed five hundred years later because of causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace.
, I haven’t tasted the deliciousness of flat peaches for five hundred years. It would be fine if I had never tasted it, but I haven’t tasted it for five hundred years, and when I mentioned it, my heart felt extremely itchy.
"I, Old Sun, will go with you."
Sun Wukong agreed.
"Please wait a moment for the two of you to burn the incense."
Bai Gui chuckled lightly.
After saying this, the two souls left their bodies and went straight to Qingming.
Compared with the body's ability to travel through the air, it is undoubtedly faster for the soul to leave the body. For example, Tang Seng, who does not have even a single spell, can travel against the wind based on the nature of his soul and rush from Lingshan Mountain in the West to the Great East.
Tang Dynasty. Both Bai Gui and Sun Wukong are immortals, and the gods of the immortals are extraordinary.
In an instant, it turned into a rainbow and rose to the thirty-third level.
"I've seen Inspector Bai."
The four heavenly kings guarding Nantianmen paid tribute.
The same goes for having ears that follow the wind and having clairvoyance.
After Bai Gui and Sun Wukong passed by, several people whispered.
"Why did this monkey get mixed up with Inspector Bai? I remember that Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun disliked this hozen the most. Logically speaking, Inspector Bai and this monkey should not have a good relationship..."
"Why do you and I get involved in the affairs of the Immortal?"
Moli Qing curled his lips.
"..."
Although the official positions of the four heavenly kings are equal to those of Bai Gui, the four heavenly kings are gods and their future prospects are limited. Thousands of years ago, when they were conferred as gods, the four heavenly kings were the four heavenly kings. Now, thousands of years have passed, and the four heavenly kings have
The Heavenly Kings are still the Four Heavenly Kings. However, Bai Gui was just a lowly official a few decades ago, but now, his official position is almost the same as theirs.
Furthermore, Bai Gui has a strong background and there are people in the court...
…
Lean less.
Bai Gui and Sun Wukong came to the Golden Palace of Yaochi.
Yaochi is not just a palace, but a palace complex in heaven, which is extremely vast. Although Bai Gui didn't know the palace where the seven fairies were, he found the addresses of the seven of them with just a few calculations with his fingers.
"Brother Bai, you are here."
Feeling Bai Gui's aura, the fourth princess Lu'er took the lead in walking out of the palace and greeted him.
But when she saw Bai Gui accompanied by Sun Wukong, her expression became a little unhappy.
"Fourth Princess, I have never offended you, so it's not like this."
Sun Wukong felt this differential treatment, and he immediately complained.
It's not that he is scheming, but in heaven, fairies like the Seventh Fairy are not worthy of his scheming. In fact, he and the Seventh Fairy are also familiar with each other. The Seventh Fairy picked flat peaches, and he was the guard of the flat peach orchard at that time.
"What a good thing you did, and you still ask me."
"You ruined the peaches in the peach garden, causing seven of my sisters to be punished by the Queen Mother and grounded for a hundred years. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have received this punishment."
The fourth princess Lu'er glared at Sun Wukong.
Although Sun Wukong is also an immortal god, he has the body of a monkey and is less bound by some rules when talking. Otherwise, other immortal gods would not speak so casually even if they have enmity.
"By the way, Brother Bai, you..., why did your soul come to me after leaving your body?"
After arguing with Sun Wukong for a few words, the fourth princess Lu'er asked Bai Guidao.
Immortals are different from gods. In heaven, they can still distinguish between the Yin spirit body of gods and the physical body of immortals. Generally speaking, unless there is something wrong, immortals rarely leave their bodies.
"It's not a big deal."
Bai Gui shook his head, "Firstly, I am a guest in the lower world and have nothing to eat, so I thought of coming to the Heavenly Palace to ask for some from you. Secondly..."
He tugged on his sleeve.
A white rabbit jumped out of his sleeve.
It is Chang'e's Jade Rabbit.
"This jade rabbit is causing trouble in the lower world and has replaced the reincarnation of Fairy Su'e. Well... I have an old relationship with Fairy Chang'e, so I discipline this jade rabbit on her behalf. But these days, I have other important matters.
It’s not a good idea to go to Guanghan Palace. I’ll trouble you, Fourth Princess, to send this jade rabbit to Guanghan Palace.”
Bai Gui said.
Chang'e has been lonely for thousands of years, and he is more greedy for Chang'e's beauty. If he goes to Guanghan Palace, one day will be short, and he will spend the last three or four days doing nothing. However, one day in the sky and one year in the earth. If it is delayed,
After a long time, it is estimated that Wu Jue has finished teaching the sutras.
The pretty face of the fourth princess, Lu'er, dimmed a lot. With a glance of her almond-shaped eyes, she could see the red thread wrapped around Bai Gui's wrist, the red thread held by Yue Lao. She knew that the red thread was ordered by the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother is the head of the female immortals. Without the approval of the Queen Mother, Yue Lao cannot arbitrarily tie a red thread to the fairy family.
"I agree to this."
"The Jade Rabbit will be sent to Guanghan Palace the next day..."
The fourth princess Lu'er used her magic power to hold the Jade Rabbit in her arms and caressed the Jade Rabbit's supple back.
"It's just a small thing. When the fourth princess has some free time, it won't be too late to send it off."
Bai Guidao.
"Brother Bai, please wait for a while. I will go to Yaochi to get some immortal feast."
After the conversation, the fourth princess Lu'er also felt that time was almost up, so she said:
Just when she was about to turn around and fly to the main hall of Yaochi, Bai Gui stopped her, "By the way, the fourth princess, flat peach..., Pindao promised the Great Sage to give him a taste of flat peach."
"It's not for nothing that I asked Fourth Princess to give you the flat peach. At the next peach banquet, the flat peach I got will be given to you, Fourth Princess. It's like receiving a flat peach first."
he said.
He is a sixth-rank official in heaven and has an honorable seat at the peach banquet.
On the third day of March during the Peach Banquet, the Queen Mother will give him a flat peach. However, due to the time difference between the thirty-three days and the earthly immortal world, it will take more than two hundred years to obtain the flat peach.
Last time the fourth princess Lu'er asked him to help Dong Yong with his homework, she brought out two large flat peaches.
Furthermore, it is just a three-thousand-year-old flat peach, which is not very precious.
It's just that because flat peaches are limited, they are rare.
"This is a small matter. Brother Bai, don't be polite. I and my sisters have some leftover peaches. If you want to eat them from now on, Brother Bai, just tell them as soon as possible..."
The fourth princess Lu'er's beautiful face rose with red clouds, and she said softly.
She wasn't lying either.
The seven fairies must have plenty of flat peaches in Yaochi. Nine-thousand-year-old flat peaches may not be available, but three-thousand-year-old flat peaches are not a rare thing. There are not many, but there are not many. Just like her, she carries two big ones with her.
Flat peach.
While talking, she took out two flat peaches from her body and handed them to Bai Gui.
"The Great Sage will eat one of these flat peaches, and Brother Bai, you can eat the other one."
"Based on your official position and orthodoxy, Brother Bai, at the peach banquet on March 3, there should be three three-thousand-year-old flat peaches, one six-thousand-year-old flat peach, and one nine-thousand-year-old purple-contained flat peach."
The arrangement of the Yaochi Banquet is managed by the seven fairies and others, and they are familiar with which immortal officials are given the amount of peach banquet.
"These nine-thousand-year-old purple flat peaches are given to you because you, Brother Bai, are the disciples of the old emperor. That's why the direct descendants of Daluo Taoism will be rewarded with one nine-thousand-year-old peach, one six-thousand-year-old, and one three-thousand-year-old."
of flat peach."
"Immortals who have cultivated themselves as immortals will be rewarded with a six-thousand-year-old flat peach and a three-thousand-year-old flat peach for every feast."
"As for your official position, Brother Bai, you only get a three-thousand-year-old flat peach."
The fourth princess, Lu'er, explained everything.
Heavenly officials are not necessarily noble. Immortal officials of at least the sixth grade can only get one three-thousand-year-old flat peach. More flat peaches are due to Bai Gui's status.
"What about the Golden Immortal?"
Bai Gui asked curiously.
He was a young monk and had never participated in the Peach Banquet. The news about the Peach Banquet was not an important secret, so he had never deliberately learned about it. At this time, the fourth princess Lu'er mentioned it intentionally, and he was also very curious.
However, when the fourth princess Lu'er said these words, Sun Wukong looked a little unhappy, "When I was Bima Wen, I was also an immortal Taoist priest. Why didn't I get a flat peach seat?"
"You are Taiyi Taoist."
Fourth Princess Lu'er replied directly.
Taoist traditions that are not included in the Sanqing tradition are all Taiyi Taoist traditions. Only those who belong to the Sanqing sect can be called Daluo Taoist tradition. Immortals are not noble, but the immortals of the Daluo Taoist tradition are the most noble and noble.
After hearing this, Sun Wukong curled his lips and said no more.
The fourth princess, Lu'er, began to answer Bai Gui's question, "Your Majesty the Golden Immortal, these nine thousand years of purple peaches are useless. However, every time the mother is given a banquet, she will also give some purple peaches to her."
If you are below the Golden Immortal, it is a gift. If you are above the Golden Immortal, it is a gift.
The difference between earthly immortals and heavenly immortals, and the difference between heavenly immortals and golden immortals, is not just a realm. There are many heavenly immortals in heaven, but only a handful can become golden immortals.
