Chapter 113 Great achievement!
Jinshan Temple.
Inside the spacious guest room.
After Qi Hu clearly explained the origin of Che Chi’s rejection of Buddhist monks.
There was a sudden silence in the room.
"Amitabha."
Soon, Tang Sanzang clasped his hands towards Qi Hu, bowed and said, "Thank you so much, Taoist Master, for speaking up, otherwise my master and disciple would probably still be outside the capital of Chechi today."
He is telling the truth.
Based on the cold shoulder, contempt, and disgust he suffered in the Chechi Kingdom for more than a day, he was finally forced to live in a dirty corner.
Tang Sanzang had no doubt that the noble Taoist priest in front of him would lie and deceive them.
Otherwise, given the position of the other party as the national advisor of the Chechi Kingdom, there is no need to pay attention to them, let alone risk disobeying the king's order and specially bring them to the inner city to provide their masters and apprentices with warm rooms, plenty of food. vegetarian diet.
This is what the other party helped to say.
If they hadn't spoken, they probably wouldn't have been able to enter the gate of the outer city of the capital of Chi State.
Besides, Sun Wukong, who had quickly calmed down, rolled his eyes, and then suddenly asked: "Taoist Master, what you said is true, then why is this Nuo Dachuchi from the king to the king? The people all hate me, the Buddhist monk, so why don’t you hate me, Taoist Priest Du? "
Sun Wukong can understand that his master has a filter and a favorable impression of this tiger demon master.
But he knew very well the identity of the national master in front of him, although the other person was indeed very knowledgeable and sensible.
But one is one, and two is two. The matter of learning scriptures is important. It is as important to my master as it is to him.
He naturally wanted to ask clearly about this.
Hear Sun Wukong’s words.
Qi Hu suddenly couldn't help but complain: "If you monkey didn't come to the door, do you think I would care about you?"
But complaints are complaints.
Qi Hu has always been a showman, so naturally he would not tell the truth directly. He just smiled and shook his head, then looked at Tang Sanzang aside and asked, "I wonder what I call this young elder?"< br>
Hearing what Qi Hu said, Tang Sanzang immediately stood up, saluted Qi Hu, and immediately said: "I'm sorry, Taoist, please forgive me, I will introduce you to Taoist."
Said.
Tang Sanzang pointed to Sun Wukong beside him and said: "This is my great disciple, called Sun Wukong."
Then he pointed to the fat black Zhu Bajie on the side and said: "This is my second disciple, named Zhu Wuneng."
Finally, he looked at the tallest and ferocious Sha Monk beside him and said: "This is My third disciple is called Sha Wujing"
End of introduction.
Tang Sanzang immediately stretched out his hand to signal to Qi Hu who was opposite him, looked at the third disciple and said, "This is Taoist Qi."
Looking at the third disciple without moving.
Tang Sanzang's face suddenly darkened. He couldn't bear it any longer and immediately scolded: "You three, you are usually irritable and ignorant. As a master, why don't you care about us? Now that the Taoist priest has saved our master and disciples from water and fire, you three How can you be so rude?"
"If this is the case, the poor monk cannot afford to accept you three disciples, so go back to where you came from!"
This is a sentence! out.
The three demons immediately stood up like jumping.
It has been several years since the three of them were instructed by Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, worshiped Tang Sanzang as their teacher, and followed Tang Sanzang on the path to seek scriptures. They have also been trained by Tang Sanzang for several years. Naturally, they know the master just now. mean.
But if the other party is really just a mortal Taoist priest or something, it doesn't matter if they salute.
It’s just that the three of them knew very well that there was a tiger demon opposite them, and it was just a small tiger demon whose cultivation level could not reach the Golden Core realm. No matter how much the other party pretended to look like a human, it was still just a tiger demon.
Let the three of them salute such a little tiger monster.
The third brother’s instinct was to resist subconsciously.
But as soon as the three brothers hesitated, the master immediately shouted angrily.
After hearing what the master just said, the three big monsters who were used to being scolded naturally understood the seriousness, so they had to stand up immediately, salute Qi Hu opposite him and said: "I have met the Taoist Master."
"I've met the Taoist priest."
As for Qi Hu, he didn't expect Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice to make such a fuss in front of him.
His original intention was not to ask the three monsters, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng, to salute him.
He just wanted a title.
After all, he can't call Sun Wukong the king now.
But now that the three of them have saluted, he can only bear it reluctantly.
Although for today's matter, Qi Hu, who helped their master and apprentice, can also bear this gift.
Of course, I feel refreshed.
The scene still needs to be patched up, but we can’t really hate these three monsters.
After all, his strength is far inferior to his opponent.
So, Qi Hu immediately waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is no need for this, the elder is too polite. I think the appearance of the elder's disciples is different from ordinary people, they must be extraordinary people!"
Listen! When Qi Hu praised these three disciples, he received too many strange looks because of their appearance.
Tang Sanzang was stunned for a moment, and then the anger in his heart because of the ignorance of the three disciples dissipated a lot. His face immediately turned gloomy and he smiled: "Taoist Master, thank you. Although these disciples of mine, They are a bit ugly, but they have good intentions and are very capable. Without them, the poor monk would not be able to come to Che Chi Country."
And I heard the same words from the tiger demon and the master opposite. .
The three big demons who had just been forced to salute felt a lot more comfortable.
Soon.
Qi Hu looked at Sun Wukong and said: "Elder Sun just asked Pindao why he didn't hate the Buddhist monks as much as the Chechi people. Speaking of which, when Pindao came to the Chechi country, the Chechi country was encountering There has not been a major drought in many years. The land is dry and the crops are not harvested. A large number of people cannot survive and have no choice but to sell their sons and daughters. "And those monks took the opportunity to bully the people even more. The poor people are naturally angry. Those monks were disgusted, so they prayed for rain for the people in this place, which alleviated the drought. The king therefore valued it and asked Pindao to serve as the national teacher to this day."
"But Pindao is not an ordinary person, Pindao It is clear that the original group of monks were guilty, but they do not represent Buddhism in the world.”
"Just like people have good guys and bad guys, demons are divided into good and bad demons."
"In the vast Buddhist sect, it is natural that there will be some black sheep"
Speaking of this.
Qi Hu asked back to Sun Wukong: "What does Elder Sun think?"
But Sun Wukong had not had time to reply.
Tang Sanzang stood up and said: "Amitabha, the Taoist Master understands the righteousness deeply. Please accept the worship of the poor monk."
As he said.
Tang Sanzang was about to salute, Qi Hu quickly stretched out his hand to support Tang Sanzang and said: "Elder, there is no need to be like this, nothing is perfect in the world. It is precisely because he saw the group of people who caused the car accident in Chiguo. Only monks and poor Taoists know how great and precious the elder’s intention was to go from the Eastern Tang Dynasty to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures.” It is only right to dispel the resentment in their hearts so as not to affect other monks."
Hearing what Qi Hu said.
At this time, Tang Sanzang said again: "The Taoist priest's words are reasonable. Please accept the humble monk's worship."
He said.
Tang Sanzang took a big step back and then saluted Qi Hu again.
This time, when I saw the other person, I just bowed deeply.
Qi Hu did not step forward again.
He told the truth.
Those Buddhist scum have brought trouble to the country of Chechi for decades.
Although they were killed, arrested, and expelled in the end, it still could not alleviate the hatred of the people of Chechi Kingdom towards them and Buddhism.
If Tang Sanzang could eliminate the resentment of the people of this country for Buddhism and eliminate their hatred and disgust towards Buddhism, that would be a great achievement!
In the future, this contribution will be indispensable in the credit book.
The same goes for Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Monk, and they will all remember this.
Therefore, Tang Sanzang naturally wanted to thank Qi Hu for reminding him.
It is precisely because of this that Qi Hu accepted Tang Sanzang's worship. He could afford it. This world is no better than the previous one.
The great power is attributed to oneself, there is no cause and effect, and if one dares to be worshiped by the reincarnated monk with such a promising background as Tang Sanzang, usually those who have good luck will immediately disappear.
If you have no luck, you may have bad luck, illness, serious illness, or even death.
Qi Hu also began to understand these things as his cultivation level increased.
Of course.
If Qi Hu hadn’t reminded him this time, Tang Sanzang would have definitely thought of it himself.
Finished.
Tang Sanzang immediately said: "As the Taoist Master said, the poor monk wanted to resolve this situation, but the people in this country hate us like wolves, and the king just returned the poor monk's "customs clearance document", and the poor monk really has no way to do it. Ah, I hope the Taoist priest can clear up my doubts!"
Facing Tang Sanzang who came forward.
Qi Hu was not surprised, so he said: "This matter is important, and it is impossible to think of ordinary methods. We must start from the source to find a solution."
Hearing this.
Sun Wukong immediately interjected and asked: "I dare to ask, sir, where is the source?"
Qi Hu: "The source is naturally in the palace, and it is His Majesty the King who is sitting on the throne. As long as we can get His Majesty's help, this matter will be much easier."
"But Taoist priest, you were not before "Said"
At this time, Zhu Bajie, who rarely opened his mouth, actually answered: "From the king and ministers to the people, everyone hates us. Then the king refuses to see us, how can we get it?" The king’s help, aren’t you kidding?”
Zhu Bajie also revealed the thoughts of Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang’s masters and disciples, and they all looked at Qi Hu.
“No.”
Hearing Zhu Bajie's words, Qi Hu shook his head and said: "Since Pindao dares to say this, he is naturally confident that Elder Tang and the three younger elders can see the king."
Hearing this.
Tang Sanzang was overjoyed and immediately said: "Amitabha, the poor monk thanked the Taoist Master."
When Tang Sanzang thanked him again, Qi Hu smiled and said, "But the poor Taoist can do it." Yes, that's all. As for whether His Majesty can put aside his prejudices against you, or whether you can convince His Majesty, it depends on you."
"Rely on us, we can't do anything. They don’t even know the king.”
At this time, Zhu Bajie heard the sound and immediately answered: "Taoist Master, didn't you say before that if you persuaded the king, the king would change the order? Why don't you just tell the king for us and save us the trouble? "
"Wuneng!"
Hearing what Zhu Bajie said, Tang Sanzang immediately shouted: "Taoist Master is helping us so much, how could you say such a thing? Tell me directly, let the Taoist priest help us go to Xitian and get the scriptures as well?”
“That would be the best”
Although Zhu Bajie is scolded every day, he is also a good talker. Yes, he immediately muttered: "It also saved us the hard work along the way."
Qi Hu finally saw some of the personalities of the people in the Buddhist scripture gathering team in front of him, and replied: "Although I am the national master of Che Chi, I never interfere with other people. As for that opening, I couldn't bear the reputation of Buddhism to be ruined." The monks were so tired that they spoke. "
"Your Majesty gave me the face, so I can't say anything else. Please forgive me."
"I don't dare. "
Tang Sanzang said quickly: "Without the Taoist priest, the poor monks and disciples are still starving and freezing outside the city. The Taoist priest has helped us a lot, and the poor monks really have nothing to repay. How dare they think of anything else? .”
Next, after chatting for a few more words.
Qi Hu then said: "Several elders are tired from coming afar, so I won't bother you too much."
As he said that.
Qi Hu turned around and walked out the door.
Tang Sanzang quickly stepped forward to see him off.
Go to the door,
Qi Hu stopped and looked at Tang Sanzang behind him and said: "The elder is resting well. You can rest as much as you want. When it is time to rest, tell Pindao. Pindao will take the elder, teacher and disciple to the palace to meet His Majesty."
< br>"Excuse me, Taoist Priest"
Tang Sanzang nodded, looking grateful.
Qi Hu said nothing more, smiled, cupped his hands, turned and left.
Looking at the retreating figure in a blue robe with an elegant temperament.
Tang Sanzang closed the door, turned around and looked at the spacious room. The third disciple, who was neither sitting nor sleeping, sat on the edge of a bed and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Master, why did you sigh?"
Seeing this, Sun Wukong immediately sat up from where he had been lying down, looked at Tang Sanzang and asked.
"Eh"
Tang Sanzang sighed again: "I lament the difficulty of this time. Those black sheep have caused trouble to the country and delayed the country so much that we are now in dire straits. If it weren't for Taoist Master Qi's help , I don’t even know what to do.”
"Let me see it, Old Sun."
Hearing what the master said, Sun Wukong immediately said: "Master, you don't have to think too much. The boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge. There are still a few of our apprentices here."
“That’s right.”
Zhu Bajie, who was sitting against the wall, immediately touched his big belly and said: “An hour ago, we were still outside the city enjoying the cold and wind, but now? This house Warm."
As he spoke, Zhu Bajie touched the quilt on the bed next to him and said, "This quilt is softer, and I also had a good meal. Although I am not full, I am getting better. Why are you thinking so much? There will always be a way.”
Heard such words.
Tang Sanzang looked at Zhu Bajie for a long time without saying a word. He just sighed quietly again.
Leaved the backyard guest room where the scripture-seeking team lived.
Qi Hu went to the front yard.
In the front yard that has been closed for viewing, in the empty main hall.
Looking at the statue of Zhang Tianshi, which is shrouded in incense day and night, becoming more and more vivid.
Qi Hu refused the incense offered by Xiong Er, the charlatan on the side, but took a stick of incense with his own hands, lit it, then stood in front of the statue of Zhang Tianshi, worshiped, and then inserted it respectfully.
For a while.
The statue seemed to have a spirit and came to life. It looked like Qi Hu was worshiping below and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
When Qi Hu finished worshiping and raised his head again, the statue was as before, without any difference.
Walking outside the main hall, I listened to Xiong Er next to me talking about the situation in the monastery and the words of the people who were following and monitoring the Buddhist scripture study team who were staying in the guest room in the backyard during the day today.
After hearing about how many times the scripture-seeking team was refused accommodation in the outer city, refused alms, and was blocked from entering the inner city, Tang Sanzang fainted to the ground because of this, and finally ended up with a piece of trash in the outer city. When the corner was received by Tang Sanzang.
Qi Hu smiled.
He expressed his attitude before, and after speaking in the court, he knew that the scripture collection team would be difficult, but he did not expect it to be so difficult.
If I hadn’t helped this time, they would probably have to sleep in the corner of the outer wall tonight.
Calculating it this way, I should be considered to have initially achieved this difficulty.
It's a pity that he couldn't refuse Sun Wukong, otherwise the effect would be better.
But these are definitely not enough. He wants to be valued by Zhang Tianshi and wants to have a relationship with Zhang Tianshi. These are obviously not enough!
How can Qi Hu be seen as different if he doesn’t embarrass the learning team?
At this time.
There was a sound of footsteps.
Soon.
A disciple walked up to Qi Hu and said respectfully: "To the temple master, the lights in the rooms of some elders in the backyard have been turned off..."
It took a long time.
Qi Hu withdrew his gaze towards the dark night sky and said expressionlessly: "Prepare the car."
"Yes"
The Ghost Bear Er responded, turned around and left.
Not long after.
A carriage drove out of Jinshan Temple and headed towards the palace.
