Chapter 116 Big wish!
Jinshan Temple.
The backyard is in the small courtyard of the guest room.
Looking at Tang Sanzang who was obviously looking very good in front of him.
Qi Hu, who had expected it in his heart, smiled and said: "I'm sorry, elder, we are all from outside the country. How can the elder have such a great wish and such perseverance, from the Eastern Land of the Tang Dynasty to go to the Western Heaven to worship Buddha and seek scriptures? Pindao admires it very much. Don’t take it too seriously.”
"Amitabha."
Hearing Qi Hu's words, Tang Sanzang smiled even more and said: "Taoist priest, you are humble. Taoist priest has protected the people of this country for many years, making the country good and prosperous, and countless civilians Having plenty of food and clothing, no hunger, cold, or hardship, and not being known to outsiders at all, is really what a poor monk has seen in his life."
Just when Qi Hu and Tang Sanzang were complimenting each other.
Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng also followed from behind.
After some flattery and pleasantries.
Qi Hu immediately said: "The elder wants to see your majesty again, but are you ready?"
"Due to what happened many years ago, your majesty has a deep prejudice against Buddhism. The elder must be careful this time. Although the poor Taoist is in your eyes, It's a bit mean, but it's not good to interfere in the affairs of the country again and again, especially the things that His Majesty cares about most. I hope the elder can forgive me. "
It's just this time, there will be no next time. .
Qi Hu's words were telling Tang Sanzang to go see the king again when he was ready, and don't be embarrassed like last time.
Otherwise, there will be no chance to see the king again next time.
These words not only put pressure on Tang Sanzang, but also let Tang Sanzang know the importance of his own face, so as to save the other party from not cherishing it.
Hear this.
Tang Sanzang's expression suddenly changed slightly. He naturally heard the meaning of the Taoist priest's words in front of him, so he immediately bowed and saluted: "The kindness of the Taoist priest cannot be repaid. How dare a poor monk think about it again?" Others."
"But the poor monk has been thinking about it for several days and deliberation with several disciples, and finally he is somewhat sure, so he dares to trouble Taoist Master."
"Ruruo. If it doesn’t work out this time, it will definitely be God’s will.”
Heard such words.
Qi Hu suddenly felt speechless and couldn't help complaining: "Obviously the living king is in the palace. If you can't convince him, it's God's will?"
Although he hinted The king made things difficult for the team, but he never got things done.
This means that as long as Tang Sanzang really came up with a good idea to convince the king last time, maybe now their master and disciples have obtained the seal of the King of Chechi, completed this difficulty, and left Chechi. It's late.
Tell the truth.
If Sun Wukong was not present in the scripture-retrieving team, even if there were Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng, and even if there were no monsters harassing them along the way, Tang Sanzang, his second disciple, and his third disciple would probably not be able to reach Xitianling Mountain.
"That's the case"
Since Tang Sanzang has made up his mind, Qi Hu will naturally not stop him and says: "Then I will accompany the elder to the palace again."
Tang Sanzang: "I'm in trouble with the Taoist priest."
Not long after.
Two carriages bearing the Jinshan Temple logo drove out of Jinshan Temple from the back door.
Although the Imperial Master's Office and Jinshan Temple are both under the Imperial Master's command.
But those with the Jinshan Temple mark are of a higher level, because basically they can only be used by the national master personally or with direct orders.
Therefore, it is basically unimpeded in Chechi's country, including entering and exiting the palace.
“Creak, creak, creak.”
Two carriages, one behind the other.
Qi Hu’s is in the front, and Tang San is hiding in the back.
Listen to the rhythmic rolling sound of the wheels.
Incense in the carriage.
Qi Hu is closing his eyes to rest, sitting quietly and meditating.
After carefully recalling Tang Sanzang's confident appearance before, he guessed that the other party should be somewhat sure.
Think of this.
Qi Hu couldn’t help but sigh.
If it weren't for the past ten days, Sun Wukong would come to his door several times at night, go to the quiet room to find him, and ask him for advice.
Although there was no coercion, Monkey King came to ask for advice several times, and he was really embarrassed to refuse, so he revealed some information.
Tang Sanzang was confident that there must be information he mentioned.
This is also what Qi Hu thinks. Without Sun Wukong, Tang Sanzang would not be able to reach the West.
As for why Qi Hu revealed it.
Of course it’s because the message is actually not that difficult to think of.
Sun Wukong knows that if he finds himself here, he can naturally find other gods or others.
If he didn't tell him, there would be other gods who would tell Sun Wukong.
In this case, it is better to say it yourself, selling benefits to Sun Wukong and selling benefits to the scripture collection team. As long as your behavior is not exposed this time, when the scripture collection team obtains the true scriptures, Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong become Buddhas. After being granted the fruit position, he already had some connections and background even in the Buddhist sect of Xitian Lingshan.
Being appointed as a Buddhist scripture collector, he could complete the task well and gain connections with the scripture collector team in the future. This is why Qi Hu should make good friends with the scripture collector team, especially Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong. Finally where my mind is.
“Just get over it.”
“Anyway, I have been tormenting the scripture-seeking team and Tang Sanzang these days, and I have made people sick in bed.”
"What's more, what happens this time depends on Tang Sanzang's performance next time."
Opening his eyes, Qi Hu let out a breath and thought to himself.
Speak of.
He was quite surprised that Tang Sanzang was ill and bedridden last time.
I originally thought that Tang Sanzang wouldn't be sick at this time. After all, he didn't associate with many big monsters. I haven't heard the rumor that eating Tang Sanzang will lead to immortality, but I guess it has. Word spread.
But under such circumstances, Tang Sanzang actually fell ill.
That means that Tang Sanzang is probably still a mortal body at this time, and he is not immortal, let alone the rumors among monsters that eating a bite of his flesh will not lead to immortality.
As for why such rumors spread?
Qi Hu seems to remember in his past life that this rumor did not come out when Tang Sanzang set out on the pilgrimage for Buddhist scriptures, but it seemed that it came out after the Buddhist scriptures hunter team experienced the disaster at Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain.
Of course, don’t worry about whether the other party has eaten ginseng fruit or not.
It is a fact that Tang Sanzang was ill and bedridden before.
As for Tang Sanzang's illness, why didn't a powerful monster like Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sand Monk not save him?
In fact, you only need to think about the symptoms that the doctor saw at that time.
"The main reason is emotional imbalance and excessive worry."
"Emotional imbalance" means that the mood fluctuates too much, probably because of being frightened, and there are too many mood swings. Anyway, this Tang Sanzang He is really not very courageous, cowardly, and likes to cry.
The symptoms are indeed correct.
As for worrying too much, it means thinking too much. When Tang Sanzang was kicked out of the court hall by the king in public, it was normal for his character.
In other words, Tang Sanzang was suffering from heart disease.
General means are useless.
Of course, maybe Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie don’t want to, or can’t, treat Tang Sanzang, because this is one of the tribulations of learning from scriptures.
When two carriages drove all the way into the palace.
The time is just past midnight.
The weather is nice today.
The sky is blue and the clouds are white, a ball of light hangs high in the east, and the sunshine is just right, not too dry.
This was also the time for Che Chi to go to court for his routine visit.
Under the respectful leadership of the guards. Qi Hu led Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng and the four masters and disciples towards the main hall of the court.
Not long.
He arrived at the door of the tall court hall with a majestic plaque hanging on it. The guard quickly entered the hall and announced: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor has brought Dongtu monk Tang Sanzang and his masters and disciples to see you."
“The Imperial Preceptor is here.”
The middle-aged king, who was originally agitated and frowning when he heard about a ministerial corruption case reported below, heard the report. His eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately said: "Quickly declare!"
"Yes. "
After receiving the order, the guard immediately turned around and exited the hall.
The king looked at the two ministers standing below, his expression suddenly serious and said: "I will leave this matter to you two for thorough investigation. I will give you three days to make sure to thoroughly investigate it. Go on"
“Yes”
The two ministers retreated to the queues on both sides of the court.
The king on the throne looked at the door of the court, and the frown he had just frowned suddenly relaxed a little.
Listening to the king's praise of the national master many times before, seeing the king look like this again.
In the main hall, all the ministers and ministers had their thoughts wandering.
Some senior ministers have been working since the last king until now, and have personally witnessed the two kings in power.
At this time, seeing the king being so close to the imperial master, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: I thought that when the late king was in this grade, he was getting closer to the former imperial master.
Fortunately, the current national master is a real man among the gods, devoted to spiritual practice, and has no interest in gold, silver, women, power, or orthodoxy.
Otherwise, with His Majesty’s current trust in the Imperial Advisor, the Imperial Guard may not be like the late king.
At this time.
Wearing a blue exquisite robe, he was tall, handsome, and had a fairy-like temperament. Master Qi Shanzhenren walked into the hall with Monk Dong Tuji, and all the ministers left and looked sideways.
"I have met Your Majesty."
Qi Hu bowed his hands slightly and saluted.
On the throne, the middle-aged king immediately smiled and said: "There is no need to be polite, the master, come and take your seat."
Hearing this.
Qi Hu was not polite. In the eyes of the ministers and generals, he walked to the front of the ministers, walked to the position under the throne, and sat down.
In fact, just from this position, we can see His Majesty's trust in the National Preceptor and the status of the National Preceptor.
It has surpassed the status of the previous one, the Buddhist monk Benzhen Guoshi, during the time of the previous king.
When the true power was at its peak, he only stood in front of a group of ministers.
Unlike this one, not only can he sit, but he can also sit on the throne like His Majesty, and his position is only second to His Majesty.
Wait for the Imperial Master to sit down.
The middle-aged king on the throne looked down.
At this time, Tang Sanzang and his three disciples immediately saluted: "Tang Sanzang of the Eastern Land, Tang Sanzang, has met Your Majesty."
Tang Sanzang was the imperial disciple of the Tang Emperor and a monk. There is no need to kneel down, just bow.
As for Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and the three Sha Seng, it is even more impossible. They all followed the master and bowed slightly.
With Qi Hu’s suggestion, the king would not care about it and just said: "Tang Sanzang, have you made up your mind when you come to see me this time?"
"If it continues like last time, don't blame me for not giving face to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and driving your masters and disciples out of the city."
Hearing the king's words is almost the same as what he said before in Jinshan Temple. Same thing.
Tang Sanzang suppressed the anxiety in his heart, took a deep breath, and then said: "Thank you for your majesty's tolerance. The poor monk is already well prepared. If he can't convince your majesty anymore, it means that the poor monk is not practicing well and will never do it again. Pester Your Majesty"
"Okay"
Hear this.
The middle-aged king on the throne nodded and said: "Then you start, I am all ears."
Tang Sanzang bowed again, and then said: "The poor monk knows that many years ago, the group of fellow students in your Majesty's country not only I have violated His Majesty's laws and regulations, and at the same time I have violated many of the clear rules and precepts of our Buddhism. It is really too numerous to describe. The consequences are also caused by myself. , but they made a big mistake when they came out of Buddhism, and the poor monk is also responsible. The poor monk is willing to use his meager efforts to repay them, and I hope your majesty will grant you permission."
Hearing the monk in front of me. Say something like this.
On the throne, the king couldn't help but be a little surprised for a moment. He knew that last time, the monk was full of Buddhist scriptures and Buddhist principles, which made him extremely disgusted.
Pay debts with money, kill with life.
This time he was right. At least this attitude satisfied the king.
Then, the king turned his head and glanced at the Imperial Preceptor beside him, and saw that the Imperial Preceptor was calmly closing his eyes and recuperating.
The king, who suddenly understood in his heart, then said: "The master is indeed worthy of being a eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty. He has a thorough understanding of Buddhism. I am not an unreasonable person. Since the master said this, then I am right. , I wonder how the mage will repay?”
Hearing what the king said.
Tang Sanzang was immediately overjoyed. Look, the other party's address now changed from calling him by his first name to mage.
However, the matter has not yet been completed. Tang Sanzang had no choice but to press his thoughts and immediately said: "The poor monk is willing to hold a salvation ceremony for the people who have been persecuted by the black sheep in the past many years, so that they can disappear underground. The grievances can be put to rest."
This moment.
Under the throne, Qi Hu, who closed his eyes and meditated, sighed in his heart. This was the most important advice he gave Sun Wukong when he came to ask for help.
I thought Tang Sanzang and the others could think of it.
Because he warned them from the beginning.
After some questioning, he found out that Tang Sanzang didn’t have many opinions at all.
But he just didn’t say anything about it. Sun Wukong might still be able to think of it later, or he could ask others for help, because this is one of the best ways to deal with the king and the people.
Because in this world, there is an underworld and gods, and the people also believe in it.
“Oh”
Upon hearing this method, the king's eyes brightened significantly.
He did not doubt the identity of the eminent monk Tang Sanzang in front of him.
After all, the "customs clearance document" and the seals of the kings of various countries on it cannot be fake.
Taomen Taoist temple likes purity.
Buddhism is just the opposite. Before the last exorcism of Buddha, those Buddhist schools were actually very popular in terms of daily funerals, blessings, and Dharma gatherings.
Now this eminent monk from the Tang Dynasty said that he would organize a Dharma assembly to liberate those who were implicated and harmed by the evil deeds and consequences done by those Buddhist monks many years ago.
As a king and the king of a country, of course he agreed.
However, in the past, when the evil bald donkey was still there, the cost of holding a Dharma conference was huge. This was to save the people who had been harmed by the monks for decades in the Chechi Kingdom. The cost was absolutely It's a sky-high price.
This is the thought.
The king spoke again and said: "The method the Master said is excellent. I believe that the people who were killed will also be grateful to the Master if they know better."
Speaking of which.
The king changed his voice and immediately said: "However, those scum have harmed our Chechi country for thirty to fifty years. They involve not only the capital city, but also other counties and towns in the country, and countless people. Therefore, , this is a big task, and the scope is quite wide. It happens that the national treasury is empty and it is impossible to hold a large-scale ceremony for the mage. The mage needs to go to each town to pray for salvation. Is the mage sure that he wants to do this? "
"There is no way to hold a large-scale Dharma gathering. There are countless people in cities and towns, so they have to go alone."
Hearing these words of the king, Tang Sanzang suddenly felt that he had given himself a big problem. He was late after finishing the car. The whole country doesn't know how long it will take, but this is what they proposed on their own initiative. If they regret it at this time, they may immediately anger the king and there will be no room for return.
So, Tang Sanzang, who took a deep breath, nodded solemnly and saluted: "I am sure, poor monk, and I hope your majesty will give you permission."
This moment.
The middle-aged king on the throne finally showed a smile to the scripture-seeking team for the first time: "I'm sure"
Tang Sanzang bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty"
