Chapter 53: Qingmei Buddhism lost to Taoist priests from heaven?
"The six-eared macaque and Huangka chased each other and headed towards Chechi Country!"
"Chase!"
Several meteors streaked across the sky.
In the front is Huangka and the six-eared macaque, fighting all the way, splitting and reuniting. Behind is the Dragon Queen Speaker and other gods and demons, fishing from a distance, looking for opportunities.
Since the war in the Daughter Kingdom, Huangka swallowed the fragments of authority in the bodies of the nine-headed insect and the six-eared macaque. Seeing that the situation was not good, both the Dragon Queen and the Speaker chose to retreat, but soon used various locking methods to pursue them.
.
As a result, the gods and demons discovered this card and began to wander aimlessly, and then...
Becoming more and more human-like.
It will stay in the city, taste delicious food, participate in festivals, sing and dance;
It will stop by the river, watch its own reflection in the water, and admire itself;
It will smell the fragrance of flowers, listen to the chirping of birds, lie on the endless grassland, and look up at the white clouds;
To be fair, the gods and demons were a little scared.
Gods and demons are extremely patient, and time has no meaning to them.
The battle in the void outside the territory can last for tens or hundreds of years at most. If you practice in seclusion in the kingdom of gods and demons and advance to a deeper level of understanding, the world will change in the blink of an eye.
Therefore, they have the patience to slowly hunt down the Huang Ka, constantly looking for flaws, and finally capture it in one fell swoop.
But now, Huangka seems to be evolving!
A card, after stealing the reincarnation's body, becomes more and more human-like!
They can't imagine what it will be like if it continues to develop...
Not to mention these gods and demons, even the six-eared macaques who were also following behind seemed unpredictable.
However, the goals were different, and he didn't care what Huangka would become. On the surface, he and Diyong were chasing each other, but in reality, he just watched from the sidelines and came out to fight from time to time. It was a routine matter.
It wasn't until there was a twist and turn from the Evil King that he came up with a plan and drove Huangka all the way towards Chechi Country.
"Master, ahead is Che Chiguo!"
"We enter the city!"
At the same time, Master Sanzang and his disciples also came to Chechi Country.
One day in the sky and one year in the earth, Huang Shang, Qing Niu and other demons went to Tusita Palace. It seemed that no time had passed, but corresponding to the human world, more than a year had passed.
After Master Sanzang and his disciples settled the residents of Flame Mountain, they experienced seven or eight more tribulations along the way.
The monsters were beaten, caught, and escaped by Sanzang, until they reached the Che Chi Kingdom.
At this time, there was an additional follower in the sutra preaching team. He was a rich man with a kind temperament and dressed in brocade and grosgrain.
He is Shen Wansan, the genius of Feng Mo's team. It is inconvenient for reincarnators to come forward, but it is the genius who leads the way.
Ever since, Sanzang and the others met kind-hearted people again.
When Tongtianhe parted ways, Feng Mo and his team didn't go anywhere, just in the country of Chechi.
Like Tianzhu Kingdom, this is also a major plot development place. There are several tribulations in it, especially the battle between Che Chi and the carp spirit in Tongtian River. They are both exciting chapters and have high mission contribution.
Feng Mo had early contact with the oppressed Buddhist community in Chechi, which led to the main plot.
The plots in other places have more or less changed, but the Chechi Kingdom is almost exactly the same as the original plot.
A few years ago, there was a severe drought in the country of Chechi. There was no rain from the sky, and there were no crops or seedlings on the ground. Regardless of the king, ministers, or common people, everyone, big or small, bathed in incense and prayed to heaven for rain.
At that time, there was a royal temple called Zhiyuan Temple. It was worshiped every year and the incense was endless. Even after the death of the royal family, golden statues were built in it to worship. Since there was such a severe drought, of course the king asked the eminent monks in the temple to pray for rain.
, the eminent monk agreed wholeheartedly and chanted the sutra for a month.
Not even a drop of rain fell.
Seeing that the country was about to be devastated by natural disasters, three wandering Taoist priests passed by and said that they could pray for rain to sacrifice the people.
The king didn't believe it at first, but he didn't know that it was these three foreign Taoist priests who called on the rain and the wind to relieve the suffering of all the people.
After making a comparison, the king suddenly felt that the monks were useless, so he ordered the gate of Zhiyuan Temple to be demolished, and the monks in the temple were given to Taoists to work, build Taoist temples, and named them national teachers.
Tell me, does this make sense?
In Xiniu Hezhou, Buddhism actually needs to be useful in order to become a master?
I simply don’t take Daleiyin Temple seriously!
The king's road is narrow. Don't even think about going to heaven after death!
Not to mention the future of the king, at least in reality, Sanzang, who had just entered the city, looked at the monks pulling building materials and humming forward. He could not see the wealth on his body, and he also had a lot of muscles.
Muscles, like a warrior monk.
Monkey, Bajie and Sha Seng shook their heads.
Kuyo! Kuyo!
Before Sanzang could say anything, a Taoist priest who was looking after the monks not far away came over.
He looked like a supervisor, his eyebrows were extremely arrogant, and he looked at Sanzang dressed as a monk: "Where do you come from as a monk? Don't you know that my country of Chechi does not welcome monks?"
Sanzang clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, the poor monk came from the Great Leiyin Temple in the West to go to the Eastern Land and the Tang Dynasty to promote Buddhism and preach scriptures, and passed by a treasured land!"
The Taoist priest chuckled and looked up and down with extremely contemptuous eyes: "You monks are always boastful and useless. Why don't you go to the Eastern Land to teach scriptures in the Tang Dynasty?"
When the monkey heard this, he became angry and said, "You are a novice, but you have no eyesight. My master is a virtuous eminent monk, and many fairies have said yes. Why can't you teach me the sutra?"
Sanzang: "..."
Why does this sound wrong?
"Ouch!"
The Taoist supervisor was startled by the fury-faced thunderous man's mouth. He was so frightened that he even took a few steps back. He did not dare to make any mistakes and hurriedly moved away.
He didn't know that he still saved his life.
In the original plot, Wukong was filled with righteous indignation at the treatment of the Buddhist monks. Following the teachings of repaying a tooth for a tooth and giving back tenfold, he directly killed the Taoist priest who was the supervisor.
And this Taoist priest is also one of the three powerful disciples.
The Great Immortal of Tiger Power, the Great Immortal of Sheep Power, and the Great Immortal of Deer Power still came to Chechi Kingdom to shine.
In this world, they are members of the demon clan and are not interested in suppressing Buddhism. What they want is a stage where they can display their ambitions.
But many times, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind, and there is no possibility of peaceful coexistence.
When Buddhism is not in the eyes of the king, there is no need for them to pay special attention to it, and countless people will naturally fall into trouble.
When Sanzang's master and disciple continued to walk forward, pedestrians along the way pointed and pointed, which made Sanzang feel a little bored.
Buddhism and Taoism are all choices, why go to extremes?
Shen Wansan, who had been silent before, took the opportunity to make a suggestion: "Master wants to calm things down, but he can't stand the public opinion. This place has become prejudiced against Buddha. It's better to have a fight with that national master Wen to rectify his name!"
Bajie slapped his ears: "Master, let these Taoist priests see how powerful your Buddhism is!"
Sha Monk nodded: "Master, Boss Shen is right. Literary fighting does not harm harmony and can also resolve the situation of monks in the country. You can give it a try!"
Sanzang thought for a while and clasped his hands together: "Then I'll leave it to Boss Shen!"
Shen Wansan smiled and said: "Please rest assured, Holy Monk, I am still a bit shy in front of the king, so I will arrange this fight immediately. Those three national masters are arrogant and will not escape!"
As the people's richest man, Shen Wansan was dubbed the boss. These days, his peers have won a lot of favor. In addition, he has infiltrated the internal affairs of Chechi Kingdom early. Not to mention a gambling fight, even the birthday banquet of the king. He sponsored it.
Not to mention that Shen Wansan bid farewell to Tripitaka's master and apprentice and entered the palace. On the streets of the royal city, Huangka was also wandering around, with a group of gods and demons following him far behind.
And they also noticed the appearance of the protagonist group, and even discovered the traces of Tianjiao.
"The Tianjiao Alliance does have a way!"
Although the Dragon Queen was unhappy with Yue Guan, she had to admit her opponent's ability. In the process of attacking the big world, Tianjiao's appearance made her performance even more outstanding.
"hehe!"
The Speaker smiled hypocritically, wishing to kill Yue Guan, but he couldn't care less now.
Because Huangka was spinning around, he actually entered the palace with great arrogance.
"Summon three imperial masters into the palace quickly!"
Money can make ghosts drive. At this time, the king has accepted Shen Wansan's proposal, summoned San Dali in front of him, and said gently: "Da Leiyin Temple is a holy place for Buddhism. Now Master Tripitaka has come to our country to talk to Ai Qing." It's a gambling fight to prove who's better. I'm about to celebrate my birthday, so I do this grand event at a banquet. What do you think of it, my dear?"
Tiger Li, Sheep Li and Deer Li were not afraid of trouble, and agreed confidently: "Let the eminent monk come here to congratulate the king on his birthday!"
King Longyan was delighted: "Okay! Okay!"
The Chechi Kingdom is a newly emerging country in the past five hundred years. It is in its heyday, and the king has a destiny. In the next ten days, a grand banquet will be held in Hezhou, Xiniu, to celebrate with the people.
Master Sanzang and his disciples were also invited to the Wufeng Tower where the banquet was held.
"Greetings to the King!"
"This is the holy monk, and he deserves his reputation!"
The king looked at Sanzang's shiny bald head and felt a little emotional. After all, they had believed in Buddhism for generations, and they had only changed in recent years. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong. Maybe this eminent monk could give him an unexpected surprise?
Sanzang's attention was on the three national preceptors who were at the top of the list of officials.
He could tell at a glance that the other person was not a human being.
In fact, Tiger, Sheep and Deer have practiced Taoist exercises hard and taken elixirs externally, so the demonic aura has become so weak that it is almost invisible. In addition, due to their profound cultivation, even a powerful person cannot detect his heel and legs in an instant.
But the key point is that the appearance of the three of them has not changed. Aren't they the younger brothers of the six-eared macaque back then?
But now Sanzang, who is wearing a brocade cassock and a nine-ringed tin staff, is not connected with the golden cicada back then. They just look at the monkey with some surprise and uncertainty.
Why does this guy look like the Monkey King?
No! Impossible!
The two sides withdrew their gaze and took their seats. Next came the birthday banquet, where various programs were staged in order to congratulate the king.
The cheers kept ringing out, but the expressions of the officials were also a little subtle.
The dispute between Taoism and Buddhism will be staged again. This time, is Buddhism still pulling its crotch, or is it making a comeback?
If the pattern is maintained, it goes without saying that if the national master is defeated, there will be another big reshuffle for the secular world!
Among the officials, Huang Ka was sitting there, tasting fine wine and delicacies, while curiously watching the postures of all living beings, watching their awe and use of religion.
The gods and demons were in the dark, watching Huangka and watching all living beings.
The most relaxed people in the field were Sanzang and Huli.
Sanzang has experienced many hardships, and even the Bull Demon King and his family have been conquered in the Flame Mountain, not to mention the three powerful men are extremely confident in their Taoism.
In this strange atmosphere in which the parties concerned are calm and relaxed, while the bystanders are nervous and depressed, the birthday banquet is coming to an end, and the climax is about to take place.
"Report! There are village elders outside the building listening to the announcement!"
"What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, there will be no rain in the spring in Donglai County this year. We are afraid that there will be drought in the summer months, so I came here to ask the national master to pray for a sweet rain to help the people."
"That's it! Master Tripitaka, I respect the Tao and restrain the monks. I only prayed for rain that year. I didn't get anything from the monks. Fortunately, the Imperial Master came from heaven to save Tutan. Now you bet with the Imperial Master to ask for rain. If you win,
I will rebuild the temple. If the national master wins, then you can go eastward. No matter what, it is a good thing to pray for a sweet rain and help all people, haha!"
After all, he is the king, and a set of procedures were set up before the game to allow both sides to compete for legitimate reasons.
Sanzang and Huli Daxian came out at the same time, saluted together and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
The two stood side by side, and then walked towards the Wufeng Tower at the same time.
Huangka watched, and so did the reincarnation hidden in the darkness.
On one side is the Buddhist gate of Qingmei, and on the other side is the Taoist gate of Tianjiang.
They were childhood sweethearts who were defeated by Tiansheng again...
Or is it that even the freshness from the sky cannot shake Qingmei’s status?
Let’s wait and see!
Opposite the Wufeng Tower, two high platforms have been built, both five feet high.
Around one of the high platforms, there are twenty-eight flags placed in an orderly manner, and a table is placed on the top. There is an incense burner on the table, candlesticks on both sides, and a gold medal engraved with the name of the God of Thunder.
Thunderbringer's stakes and more.
This set of decorations is the authentic Taoist rain praying process.
Sanzang was very aware, his eyes moved slightly, and he put away his contempt. The monkey also said: "Wait a minute! You and my master are both going to the altar to pray for rain. How do you know whether the rain is yours or mine?"
Immortal Huli roared and smiled: "It's simple. When I go to the altar, I will use the token as a signal. The first command will sound the wind, the second command will sound the clouds, the third command will sound the thunder and lightning, the fourth command will sound the rain, and the fifth command will sound the rain.
The sound of clouds disperses and the rain collects.”
The monkey grinded his teeth and secretly said to Sanzang: "Master, if you see that the situation is not going well, use the Heavenly Dragon to beat him!"
Sanzo glanced sideways at him.
How can I, the Buddha, be like this even if I have all my crooked ideas?
At this moment, Immortal Huli stood up and suddenly extended his hand to invite: "Master, I am a guest from afar, please!"
Sanzang hurriedly said: "Amitabha! How dare a poor monk take the lead? The national master should be invited first!"
Just kidding, in any competition, the first player loses half, do you think I'm stupid?
"Master please!"
"National Master please!"
"Master, are you so timid and guilty?"
"National Master, are you so hesitant?"
"Huh? (Take out the wooden sword)"
"Shua! (Open the cassock)"
Seeing that he was about to take off his clothes, the king hurriedly sent a servant to convey the order: "Please pray for rain at the same time, and each of you will share your things!"
Only then did both parties give up and climb to the high platform together.
Immortal Huli stepped on his left foot and stepped on his right foot, and made a graceful ladder straight up to the high platform. Dozens of talismans written on yellow paper flew out from his sleeves. They were placed on the desk, from left to right, in the order of three clears.
First, the Taoist gods will be listed in sequence.
Sanzang, on the other hand, was much more unpretentious. He just touched the tattoo on his back, pulled it off, turned it into a little white dragon, and gave it a look.
As the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea, do you understand what I mean?
Xiao Bailong naturally understands, isn't it just raining?
He really doesn't know how.
There is no way, don't watch the clouds and rain in the TV series, just a few sneezes from the Dragon King. In fact, the real process is much more complicated.
In the original plot, there were ten immortals in total who appeared during this rain-praying ceremony, including Grandma Youfeng, Tuiyun Tongzi, Buwu Langjun, Deng Tianjun, Thunder Goddess and Lightning Girl, and the Dragon King of the Four Seas.
Wukong went to heaven and cleared the relationship one by one, and then the prayer for rain was properly arranged.
Behind the competition is the use of countless connections.
On the contrary, the Huli Great Immortal was obviously praying for rain in a formal manner, but there was no response. When it comes to Wukong, it is more realistic to have the cooperation of immortals and gods when he does whatever he wants.
Rules are dead, but gods and goddesses are alive. In order to take care of ethnic minorities, everything can be dealt with as appropriate.
So now, Little White Dragon has also begun to seek help from his father, the Dragon King of the West Sea!
It is necessary for the dragon kings from all over the world to handle private affairs and cooperate with the five storms in the sky to bring down a complete heavy rain. Dragon Zi alone does not have that power at all.
Just when the little white dragon was fighting for his father, the Great Immortal Huli was already clinging to the wooden sword, starting to fight on foot and reciting spells.
"Five emperors and five dragons, descending the light and moving the wind, spreading moisture widely, assisting Thunder Lord, all over the world, the water is the most important sect, the divine talisman orders you, Changchuan obeys, anyone who dares to disobey, Thunder Ax will not tolerate it..."
While reciting, he burned the talismans on the candle, swayed the dragon and snake with his sword, wrote a document with his hand, and lit it on fire.
This is the orthodox Five Thunder Method. As a Taoist, it went to heaven and reported it to the Jade Emperor. After the Jade Emperor gave instructions, various staff were recruited to come down to rain.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Just like the Haikou boasted before, when the first token was displayed, a strong wind was already blowing in the east where Huli Daxian was responsible.
Above the sky, Granny Feng arrived and opened the leather bag.
Immortal Huli nodded with satisfaction, held the token again, burned the talisman, and when he pounced, he saw that the sky was covered with clouds and mist, and it was Tuiyun Boy and Buwulangjun who began to work.
Then came the Thunder God and the Lightning Girl...
After the foreplay is over, as long as the Dragon King is in position, everything is done.
In contrast, the monk in the west is quiet.
"Xiao Bailong, can your father do it?"
The monkey was anxious and hurriedly jumped up into the clouds.
I saw Xiao Bailong toasting there.
The mouth of the cup is pressed very low.
So humble?
There is no way, the Dragon King of the Four Seas is rich in material and has an embarrassing status, and all the gods and gods in heaven are well aware of it. Therefore, although the Dragon King of the Four Seas is sponsoring the lucrative job of raining, there are many secret ways.
Rather than offering it to this outdated old Dragon King, it would be better to fill the pockets of the generals of the Lei Department!
In such a general environment, if the Dragon King of the West Sea is really coming, they may still give him some face. What does it mean to have a mere third prince?
What's more, the Heavenly Court is now fighting overtly and covertly with Buddhism, so the request of the Buddhist scripture-seeking team must be perfunctory and cannot be completed.
But at this moment, the monk with a rough face and a thunderous mouth jumped up into the clouds.
"Monkey King!"
I don't know who took the lead in shouting, and a group of gods and gods were so frightened that they ran away in confusion, making the appearance of birds and beasts and trying to disperse.
That unparalleled majesty has shrouded the heavens for five hundred years. Not to mention their little gods and immortals, even the Jade Emperor's prestige has been greatly reduced!
After all, it was Deng Tianjun who had the leadership style. He coughed lightly and reminded: "This is fake!"
call!
Only then did the Thunder God and Lightning Mother stop. Feng Granny got out of the sack and pushed Yun Tongzi and Buwu Langjun to let go of each other's backs.
The monkey ignored this and jumped up to Deng Tianjun, grinning: "Hey, why don't you make thunder and rain?"
Deng Tianjun looked at the monkey and smiled coldly: "The Taoist priest practiced the Five Thunder Method, praying to heaven and sending down the rain. What are you doing, the Dragon Son Method?"
I don't know whether it was seeing the pitiful little white dragon, or an inexplicable flame rising up in his heart. The monkey became furious and waved the Ruyi Golden Cudgel: "Then you shouldn't humiliate my junior brother. If you can, do it. If you can't, do it."
I, Old Sun, will beat you!"
"You can try it!"
Deng Tianjun was also angry. Do you really think that the Taoist divine generals who protect the law are not divine generals? You, a fake, also want to show off your power?
Good guy, the sky is full of wind and clouds, this is directly on the shelves.
Facts have proved that although the monkey's purpose of using the back door was not achieved, it still succeeded in disrupting the situation.
In front of the Wufeng Tower below, the strong wind stirred up, the clouds and mists subsided, and the rain did not fall as promised.
"It is indeed a Buddhist practice..."
The Immortal Huli let out a light sigh, counted with his fingers, and looked at Sanzang with a somewhat cold look. He once again used his sword to recite incantations, add incense and burn talismans, and lay down a sign.
"Piao Zhu Taihua orders you to go quickly. God has ordered you to go quickly. The sun will collect and rain will fall instantly. He will drive the dragon and drive the lightning out of Xuanhong. I am here to go hastily according to the curse. This is the name of the Jade Emperor. Anyone who dares to refuse will be punished.
...Hurry like a law!"
In later generations, when reciting mantras, no matter what kind of mantras they are, they must be added as urgent as a law. It seems that this is standard, but in fact it is not.
This is an urgent order, and it can be understood from the literal meaning. The matter is too urgent and needs to be dealt with immediately, just like running around with orders.
Lu Ling is the name of the fastest ghost in the Lei Department. He summoned this courier to deliver the order by express express!
Boom!
After the Great Immortal Huli made such a move, the sky became turbulent again, and this time a black dragon also flew over from a distance: "Everyone, slow down! Slow down!"
The dragon scales were so pure and black that they were in sharp contrast to the little white dragon. At a glance, one could tell that it was the biological father of the little white dragon, Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea.
The Dragon King of the West Sea is in charge of the rain in Hezhou, Xiniu. The normal situation should have happened long ago. This time, he was observing in secret and was forced to show up.
But the Dragon King of the West Sea soon discovered that his appearance did not mean anything, because Huli Great Immortal's edict created a beam of light, rushed upward, actually flew into the heaven, and then passed through the thirty-third heaven, arriving at a place
Infinitely high places.
"Where is Lihentian?"
"How can our trivial matter disturb the Supreme Taoist?"
All the immortals and gods were shocked. Just as they were about to recover the urgent order, they realized that something was not right.
Not to mention them, the masters and disciples of Tripitaka, Dali Guoshi, Huangka and the gods and demons below all felt that the rain-praying mantra seemed to have coincidentally hit a barrier...
First, the sky-burning purple fire spread, and then the mark of war spread.
All of this happened in the Tushita Palace!
That is the dojo of the Supreme Being!
Just when everyone was shocked and confused, a dark stick suddenly poked out.
"Hey!"
A great ape god jumped out, activated the magic power of the Six Ears of Fabuden, locked the position, and smashed out the iron soldiers at will, smashing a huge hole in the void.
Suddenly, there was no need to make random guesses anymore, the chaotic battle in Tushita Palace came into view!
