Chapter 118 Buddha bless!
It was just after noon when Qi Hu left the imperial study.
When I arrived at the carriage parking area, I asked the disciple who was driving the carriage, and found out that Tang Sanzang and his disciples had already returned to watch before he could wait for him.
Get on the spacious and exquisite carriage.
Listen to the rhythmic squeaking sound from the wheels.
Qi Hu immediately began to review everything that happened in the court today.
What the king said and did today gave him a big surprise.
Although it was Qi Hu who told Sun Wukong who came to ask for salvation in order to eliminate the ill feelings of the king and the people for the people who died because of the group of monks.
But he really didn't expect that the king would directly do this to Tang Sanzang, asking him to save all the implicated people in the entire country, and he would also have to save all the people in the entire Chechi Kingdom.
The most important thing is to provide only a small amount of the most basic official funds needed for food, drink and accommodation. Everything else must be raised by the team themselves.
This move alone allowed Qi Hu to cancel all other subsequent methods against the team.
That's enough!
Tang Sanzang has also agreed.
Don’t worry about whether you will fund it yourself or Sun Wukong will find a way to get funds from other places to hold a large-scale ceremony.
The time required to travel throughout Chechi Country is at least half a year or a year.
It takes such a long time to complete the difficulty of Che Chiguo, not counting the difficulties and illness at the beginning, so the difficulty of this difficulty, among the eighty-one difficulties of the westward journey, I dare not say that it is the first, and it is definitely ranked. The most advanced and most difficult existence on earth.
Moreover, the king of Chechi and the scripture-seeking team represented by Tang Sanzang have verbally agreed, which is considered an agreement.
If there is no special accident, such as the sudden death of the king. No, the death of the king is not acceptable. The hatred of Buddhist monks is the consensus of all the people in the Chechi Kingdom, and the sudden death of Tang Sanzang, The westward journey has to be cancelled.
No, no, based on Qi Hu’s understanding, the westward journey to obtain scriptures seems to involve a major event such as the transmission of Buddhist traditions to the east, which is the Tang Sanzang. It is estimated that there will be another one to replace it. Learn from the experience.
Of course, the above are just assumptions.
In short, unless there is some major force majeure change and both parties agree, it is basically impossible to change it.
It is decided that the sutra-gathering team will travel all over Chechi Country to hold a national salvation dharma conference!
For Qi Hu, the task he received from Zhang Tianshi to stop the scripture-seeking team has been completed more than half. The remaining half is to wait for Tang Sanzang to complete the salvation method. Will come back and leave Chechi Country, it will be considered complete.
I don’t know until then.
What reward will Zhang Tianshi give himself?
As Qi Hu thought about it, he couldn't help but remember the scene after completing this mission.
But he quickly reacted: "Wait a minute, the Heavenly Master previously rewarded me with the "Nine Flowers Gold Medal" for his skills. This should be just a deposit for doing things, right?"
" After all, I have completed this mission so well."
"As a Celestial Master, I shouldn't be stingy with a little demon like myself."
"I don't know that the Celestial Master will reward me. What are you doing?"
"If the Heavenly Master let me choose, what would I want?"
"Treasure? Or magical powers? Or the heavenly establishment?"
"."
There were a lot of thoughts and thoughts in my mind.
But then.
Qi Hu shook his head and suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind.
He actually knows that this is because he is under too much pressure, so that when he is close to success, he will inevitably fantasize about good results in the future to relax his mind.
After all, when anyone is receiving and making friends with Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong, they are still thinking about planning and dealing with each other and the Buddhist scripture learning team, especially if they cannot be discovered by the other party!
The most important thing is that the cultivation strength of the two sides is really very different.
It would probably be the same no matter who it was.
After all, Sun Wukong was not only powerful but also extremely smart, which put Qi Hu under too much pressure.
After all, the so-called Sun Wukong can reason.
The so-called Sun Wukong, who has been suppressed for five hundred years, has a clear Buddha nature and will not kill people randomly.
But no one dares to gamble with their own lives. After all, Sun Wukong is a monster and a big demon by nature. Five hundred years ago, he dared to cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace. After being suppressed for five hundred years, he became a good boy?
Qi Hu doesn’t dare to gamble.
In fact, he has been worried day and night for the past ten days. What if Sun Wukong discovers that he is behind the scenes to blackmail his master and the Buddhist team?
He was afraid that the angry Sun Wukong would directly take out the Ruyi Golden Cudgel and give it to him.
At that time, Zhang Tianshi would probably have to go to the underworld if he wanted to see him again.
How could Qi Hu dare not be cautious, worried, or stressed
"Call"
Take a long breath.
Qi Hu then recalled that the king invited him to the royal study not long ago.
In the Imperial Study Room.
The king turned around and asked Qi Hu what he had done before.
After receiving Qi Hu’s compliments, the king couldn’t help but ask Qi Hu about longevity and life extension.
Of course Qi Hu knew what the other party meant when he said that.
He was also satisfied with the King's assist this time, and also hinted in a subtle way that there would be benefits for the opponent in the future.
As for why not now.
Of course the experience learning team hasn’t started taking action yet.
This difficulty is not over yet!
When it's over, it's time to collect the fruits of victory from each other.
At the same time, Qi Hu is also worried that now that he has given the king some elixir, the changes in the king after taking the elixir will attract Sun Wukong's attention.
Although this possibility is very small, he has to guard against it.
Who makes Sun Wukong too strong and too smart?
He could only be as careful as possible.
When Qi Hu returned to the backyard of Jinshan Temple in a carriage.
The Buddhist scripture learning team also happened to have just finished lunch.
Walking into the large guest room and looking at Tang Sanzang who came forward, Qi Hu could not help but sigh: "The elder is righteous, the poor Taoist admires him."
I had complained for a long time before, but Before counting his breaths, Tang Sanzang was still complaining about the group of monks who caused trouble to the Chechi Kingdom many years ago. They were not worthy of being sons of men and were not worthy of entering Buddhism, causing him to be dragged down. When he heard Qi Hu's compliment, his face suddenly burst into smiles. With a magnanimous face, he said: "Amitabha, since the trouble is caused by my Buddhist disciples, it should be solved by my Buddhist disciples. The Taoist priest does not need to mind."
"The poor monk only thinks that the poor monk is here. It’s too late, so that the people in this car have a deep misunderstanding of my Buddhism, which is really a sin.”
Hearing Tang Sanzang's words.
Qi Hu smiled and said: "No matter what, what the elder did was an act of justice and mercy, and I really admire him."
What he said was the truth.
No matter what Tang Sanzang did behind his back, he was willing to go all over the Chechi Kingdom and hold Dharma meetings to pray for all the people who had died and for the people who are now alive. This behavior is still beyond words.
Because Qi Hu knows the hard work, he has done it before.
Moreover, the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, the second disciple of Buddha like Tang Sanzang, to pray for blessings is not just a showpiece like what Qi Hu saw in his previous life, it is just used to support the scene.
Tang Sanzang's salvation and blessings can truly affect the people themselves.
With this level of monks being saved, the souls of the common people suffering in the eighteen levels of hell in the underworld, with light sentences, may be able to avoid the punishments of hell on the spot and directly go to the queue for reincarnation. Even some with longer sentences The longer the soul is, the longer the prison term will definitely be reduced.
It is estimated that the luck of the people who are blessed will improve a lot. For example, those who are sick will have their serious illnesses improved, and minor illnesses will be cured directly; for example, those who are doing business will turn losses into profits, and their business will be better; and mothers and children who are in danger of giving birth will be safe. ; Those who travel far away are not in danger of bandits and monsters, etc.
[In the original work, after Liu Boqin, the Taibao of Zhenshan, rescued Tang Sanzang, he took him home. It happened that the next day was the death anniversary of Liu Boqin's father, and the death of Liu Boqin's mother. He asked Tang Sanzang to help him to be saved. As a result, that night, Liu Boqin's father entrusted a dream to his family at night, saying that the sutras and eminent monks had saved him and his sins had been eliminated. 】
In short, for a monk of Tang Sanzang's level to hold a Dharma assembly, it would definitely benefit the people of Chechi. "When the elder has finished his journey and returns from the whole country."
Qi Hu continued: "At that time, I think the people in the entire country will definitely be very grateful to the elder, and they will definitely not come back in the future. Treating Buddhist monks differently and changing the faith of a country by oneself, the elder deserves this praise!"
"Changing the faith of a country by oneself."
Taoist Master Qi in front of me is like this! This sentence reached the bottom of Tang Sanzang's heart, and he could no longer be hypocritically modest or put off, because he could no longer hold back the corners of his mouth and said, "Amitabha, I hope this is the case."
At this time.
The disciples in the temple collected the remaining empty bowls and plates from the guest room and brought tea.
Qi Hu directly took the teapot and asked Tang Sanzang to sit at the table beside him. He poured five more cups of tea, handed one cup to Tang Sanzang, and then looked around at the three big men sitting on the chairs on the bed. The demon said: "Several young elders also invite tea."
The nearest Sun Wukong heard this without noticing, immediately stood up, walked to the table, picked up a cup and said: "Thank you, Taoist Master"
" I’ll try it too, old pig”
Seeing that his senior brother had brought tea, Zhu Bajie was not far behind. He immediately came forward and picked up a cup. He drank and walked. He didn't remember until he sat by the bed and said to Qi Hu: "Thank you, Mr. Dao. ”
When Sha Monk, who was tall and had huge hands, tasted the tea from a small tea cup, he was still very happy.
After half a cup of tea.
Tang Sanzang, who had been chatting for a while, put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Qi Hu across from him and said, "Taoist Priest, to be honest, this poor monk has a merciless request."
" Oh”
Looking at Tang Sanzang, whose face was obviously tangled and twisted, Qi Hu smiled and said: "If the elder has anything to say, just say it."
Hearing Qi Hu's words.
The tangled look on Tang Sanzang's face became even more complicated. He thought that since he came to Chechi Country more than ten days ago, he had encountered cold looks and harsh words from the people in this country. It was Taoist Qi who helped him. and apprentices.
Later, they helped him meet the king several times, and now they have the hope of completing the affairs of Chechi Kingdom. Now the king does not give them extra money and requires them to find a way to hold the ceremony on their own. How could he do it.
He has never even cared about fasting, relying on his apprentices to take care of things, let alone money.
Just before, his great disciple Sun Wukong helped others, and when others wanted to thank him with money, he only accepted dry food and nothing else.
How can he have money?
Now the king has put forward conditions. As long as they are completed, he will be able to successfully pass through the country of Chechi and eliminate the country's ill will towards Buddhism. This is a great merit.
But the key point is that he has no money, and neither do his disciples. No matter what method he uses, he can't go for alms.
But I have never heard of people who use alms as alms for fasting meals, but not money. This is definitely not acceptable.
Zuo Xiang thought again, and it was his second disciple Wu Neng who suggested a way for him to borrow it from Taoist Qi. Taoist Qi's family had a great business, and he was a national master, so he must be rich.
He thought about it carefully, and it was indeed true. How many dharma meetings would be held and how much money would be needed to travel throughout Chechi Country? Only Taoist Master Qi can help him now.
However, thinking that Taoist Master Qi has been helping him, now he has to borrow such a large amount of money from the other party.
Tang Sanzang is really hard to talk about.
On the side, he looked at the master who was holding back his face and turned red, but still did not speak.
"Old Sun, let's talk."
Sun Wukong couldn't stand it anymore, so he couldn't help but stepped forward, picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup for his master Tang Sanzang first, and then poured a cup for Qi Hu. Finally, he filled up his tea cup, then looked at Qi Hu and said: "To be honest, the Taoist Master, the king has posed a problem for Master Sun and Lao Sun. Although it is complicated to hold a Dharma conference for the people of Chechi State, it is not difficult. We, but he didn’t give us the money, so we are in some trouble.”
“Old Sun Gu thought we had to borrow it from the Taoist Master, but I don’t know what he thinks.”
Hearing Sun Wukong’s words? .
Qi Hu suddenly thought to himself that it was true.
He was still thinking about what could make Tang Sanzang hold back like this. After thinking about it carefully, he could only think that the other party wanted something from him, and it must be related to what he was going to do next.
When I thought about money, Sun Wukong pointed me out directly.
And in this matter.
It is not so much the order given by the king to them, as it is the trap he indirectly set for the team to obtain the scriptures and the problems they created.
This time the difficulty is considered big enough.
Qi Hu wanted to make good friends with the learning team, so he naturally had to make up for it, which he had planned before.
When he was in the court hall before, he actually saw Sun Wukong's thoughts.
He estimated that the other party would come to him tonight to talk about this matter.
I just didn’t expect that the scripture collection team would bring it up now, and it was Tang Sanzang who brought it up.
So.
Qi Hu looked at Tang Sanzang and said with a smile: "What kind of thing can a poor Taoist do that can make the elders so embarrassed? It turns out it's just a trivial matter." Although Tao is single and weak, he still wants to do his best."
"Even if the elders don't mention this matter, the poor Tao must also contribute."
"This matter is content. Pindao boasted that the elder and the three young elders were holding a Dharma conference in our country of Chechi. Pindao had taken care of all the food, accommodation and transportation. The elders only had to hold the Dharma assembly with peace of mind."
The words just fell.
When he heard Zhu Bajie on the side, he couldn't help laughing and said: "That's good."
Qi Hu smiled and glanced at Zhu Bajie, but didn't care, and continued to look at Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang and said: " What do the elders think of my arrangement?"
At this moment, Tang Sanzang suddenly stood up, bowed to Zuo, and said sincerely: "Amitabha, thank you for your help, the Taoist is full of compassion. Heart, the Buddha sits high on the spiritual mountain and has insight into everything in the world. He will definitely protect the Taoist priest.”
“Goodbye!”
Hearing Tang Sanzang’s voice of thanks, Qi Hu was immediately frightened. A big jump.
This time, he could get in touch with Master Zhang and get in touch with Heaven without even saying it!
He doesn’t want to become a monk, and he doesn’t want to be noticed by Lingshan Tathagata Buddha now.
So he immediately said: "The elder is seeing outsiders now. They are all outsiders. What's more, the elder and I, as well as several younger elders, are also destined. If the elder continues to see outsiders like this, it's a shame. I'm going to be unhappy."
After talking about good things and bad things, the guests and hosts are enjoying themselves.
Finally, Tang Sanzang was not allowed to say the Buddha’s blessing words for the second time.
Farewell to the learning team.
When walking out of the courtyard of this guest room.
Qi Hu couldn’t help but patted his chest.
Tang Sanzang's words before that he wished the Buddha to bless him really shocked him.
What is Tang Sanzang's identity? If he says "Buddha's blessing", the Buddha will pay attention to him as a little tiger monster.
He has never been very interested in Western Buddhist ideas, and he doesn't want to be noticed by Lingshan.
He just wanted to catch up with the Heavenly Master and earn a fortune.
“Huh”
Take a breath.
Qi Hu, who had regained his composure, then walked towards the quiet room in the highest corner of the backyard.
That night.
Midnight.
Qi Hu, who was meditating, suddenly woke up from his practice. When he opened his eyes, he saw a figure standing in front of the window. He was tall, with a horn on his forehead, and a majestic and ugly face. He was not a golden figure. Who else could the green bull spirit Dujiao Si in Doushan be?
