I, Dasheng Sun, swear not to become a Buddha

"I don't know the Long Dao number..."

On the way to the reception room, Monkey King hadn't spoken yet.

Shangguan Singh first introduced his family history.

The two sides sat down, and after the tea was served, he asked about Monkey King's Taoist name.

Tianzhu is originally a Buddhist country, and Arhats and Bodhisattvas often reveal their true spirits everywhere.

As the head of a county, Shangguan Singer is no stranger to cultivators, and there are cultivators in their Shangguan family.

Moreover, this county marquis is a generation who respects the heaven and the Dharma ancestors, so he naturally does not put on official airs in the face of suspected Youdao and true cultivation.

"Crack!"

Just as Monkey King was about to answer, a thunderbolt exploded in the sky.

The way he came was covered with dark clouds, and now it was raining heavily.

"Thunderbolt from the poor way!" Sun Wukong pointed to a thunderbolt that had just flashed in the sky and said slightly.

"Thunderbolt?" Shangguan Singer was taken aback.

To say that his name is a combination of Chinese and Western, the Taoist name Sun Wukong feels a bit like the unity of man and nature.

Sun Wukong smiled and took out the certificate and handed it to Shangguan Singer.

This ultimatum is a scroll made of silk and brocade.

The quality of satin quality is exquisite workmanship, brocade is clear and neatly written, and the jade scroll with gold background is quite precious.

This thing is the most precious item on the old Taoist body, so he used it in exchange for his own life.

As for the Taoist robe, in the old way, the degree is gone, so what's the use of wearing a Taoist robe!

County Marquis Shangguan Singer received the ultimatum and proceeded carefully.

Sure enough, there were the words "Edict Endu in the second year of Wude" and "Chen Pili, the right-paying Taoist priest, allowed this to be accepted" on the ultimatum.

Originally, Sun Wukong didn't want to be called Thunderbolt, and made it look like a breakdancer.

They are all "Pindao Xuanyuanzi", "Pindao Tianjizi" and "Pindao Chunyangzi". The names are so lofty.

Thunderbolt..."Pimpdao Thunderbolt"...dropped several stools in an instant!

So now when Sun Wukong meets people, he usually doesn't intend to declare his family name first.

However, that old Taoist is indeed called Thunderbolt, and he is also from Chen Xing's family.

The most important thing is that Du Yi is something recognized by the Taoist sect, and it itself contains the laws of the Taoist sect and a trace of the power of heaven.

Therefore, even if it is fake, it is difficult to deceive people with cultivation base.

Monkey King simply used the Dao name of Thunderbolt just to save trouble.

Shangguan Singer, Marquis of Fengxian County, looked at Sun Wukong with admiration and said, "It turns out that Priest Perak is actually the real person who was ordered by Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty!"

Although the Shangguan family of Fengxian County was born in Tianzhu County, their ancestors were in the East.

Naturally, he was full of respect for the emperor of the Eastern Earth Dynasty.

And what inspired his respect was the ultimatum from Zhao Chi Endu.

There are three kinds of degrees in Taoism, one is test scriptures, the other is imperial edict endowment, and the third is acceptance degree.

The first type is the ultimatum issued by the official to the monks who have passed the official examination.

This is the normal way for ordinary monks to obtain ultimatum.

The second is to grant a degree of ultimatum through the emperor's edict to the world and the way of giving favors.

Although they also have to pass the test of economics and industry, in fact, the official status of the monks who ordered Endu is the highest among the three.

The third type is actually the gift of donation, that is, the gift of gift obtained through the official sale of the gift of gift. This kind of gift of gift is the most despised by fellow monks in the entire system of monks.

Sun Wukong's ultimatum turned out to be imperial edict endu, he himself hadn't read it carefully before, and thought it was an ordinary trial ultimatum.

This thing, Duyi, has its own Taoist laws, and you can know its authenticity by checking it with your cultivation base.

At that time, Monkey King just glanced at the certificate and put it away casually.

Unexpectedly, this ultimatum is still a ultimatum with a good official status.

Shangguan Singer carefully handed the ultimatum back to Monkey King, and his attitude was a little more polite.

Sun Wukong saw that he was respectful to Taoism, so he knew that he had a heart for Taoism in his heart.

It's a pity that Tianzhu is a Buddhist country, and there are few Taoist inheritances.

Moreover, as the chief of a county, if he abandons Buddhism and respects Taoism, the county will not have to do it.

The Junhou was enthusiastic, so Sun Wukong chatted with him casually.

Suddenly, a thought came to mind.

Marquis of Fengxian County is in a Buddhist country, but he does not believe in Buddhism, and he still has Taoism in his heart.

As a result, calculations were resorted to, and the three-year drought in Fengxian County was probably caused by this.

It wasn't until Shangguan Singer was so frightened that he led the whole city to sincerely chant Buddha and completely convert that the drought was over.

Since then, Fengxian County has completely become the territory of the Buddha Kingdom.

Monkey King sneered in his heart, this Journey to the West is really tricky.

Along the way, he hugged grass and beat rabbits. He did not know how many unscrupulous activities he did.

It's a pity, I can't stop this Westward Journey, but let this Westward Journey go on in its entirety.

Selfish?

Maybe, after all, being alive is better than anything else!

The two chatted without saying a word, and Sun Wukong might ask about the recent situation of Tang Dynasty, and the words seemed to be wandering away from home for a long time.

Shangguan Singh asked with concern: "The Taoist priest just asked about Dongtu, how long has it been since you have been back to Dongtu?"

Sun Wukong is confused, how can I answer this.

You can answer whatever I ask you, and you are so kind to care about my dry hair!

The main reason is that he doesn't know what year it is now, so how should he answer it.

Sun Wukong said just now that he is a Taoist from a wandering area, and the Du Yi also wrote the edict Endu of the second year of Wude.

If he wants to answer, he has to say a guarantee of more than ten years.

Sun Wukong pondered for a while, brewing a feeling of homesickness, then looked out the window and said vaguely:

"Pindao has been away from home for a long time, and I don't remember the exact time. But I have experienced more than ten cold and heat, and I think it has been more than ten or nearly 20 years."

Sun Wukong thought, if Shangguan Junhou saw that he was a fake, then he would leave directly.

Anyway, no one was found in the Hou's mansion, and no one could stop him from leaving.

Shangguan Singer nodded and said: "Well...it has been more than ten years. It seems that the Taoist priest left Chang'an not long after receiving the ultimatum."

"The Taoist priest has been traveling for more than ten years, and I admire him very much!"

He was right!

Monkey King didn't expect that the random time would roughly coincide with the real time.

Shangguan Singer recruited a servant and gave instructions in a low voice.

Although it was a whisper, Sun Wukong in the realm of celestial beings could hear it clearly.

The Marquis of Shangguan asked his servants to fetch a letter.

Sun Wukong knew there was a door as soon as he heard it. The Shangguan Junhou must know the situation in Dongtu.

Sure enough, after a while, the servant came back with a letter, and Shangguan Singer took the letter and continued:

"My Shangguan clan came from the east, and my family and clan are all in the east. This Tianzhu Shangguan clan is just a branch of the Shangguan clan."

"After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the reputation spread far and wide. At that time, my father sent people to Dongtu to find his roots. Therefore, my family still has some contacts with Dongtu in the following years."

Having said that, Shangguan Junhou opened the letter in his hand.

"Five years ago, I received a letter from the Dongtu clan, saying that it was the eighth year of Zhenguan."

"Oh, that's right. Zhenguan is the year name of Li Shimin, the second son of Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan of Tang Dynasty."

Shangguan Singer was afraid that Sun Wukong would not know Li Shimin's accession to the throne, so he explained a little bit.

In fact, when Shangguan Singer mentioned the eighth year of Zhenguan five years ago, Sun Wukong was taken aback.

So this year is the 13th year of Zhenguan!

Journey to the West starts this year!

===Chapter 961 The Weird Extermination of France===

I had some refreshments in the Hou Mansion of Fengxian County, and now the wind has stopped and the rain has stopped.

The torrential rain came and went quickly, within an hour.

At this time, Monkey King got up and said goodbye to go out.

Shangguan Singer refused to stay again and again, so he personally sent him out of the mansion.

When approaching the door, Monkey King suddenly turned his head and asked Shangguan Singer, "What is the 13th year of Zhenguan this year?"

"What?" Shangguan Singer looked confused, how many years can he be?

"Hehe, it's nothing." Sun Wukong said with a smile.

He also asked casually.

The year mentioned in the prologue of Journey to the West conflicts with the previous year. Tang Seng was born and learned Buddhist scriptures in the 13th year of Zhenguan.

There are many opinions on this point, and Monkey King agrees that this prologue was added by later generations, not the original one by Lao Wu.

However, Journey to the West is not official history after all, and many discrepancies are possible.

For example, it took Tang Seng 14 years to travel to the west, but it has been 27 years since he returned to Chang'an.

But in fact, Zhenguan has a total of 23 years.

Of course, there is also the issue of Cui Jue tampering with the book of life and death without permission.

The water here is very deep, and it can be roughly understood that since the 13th year of Zhenguan, the history of the Tang Dynasty has been completely divorced from reality.

The Marquis of the county sent Sun Wukong out, intending to persuade him to stay: "If you have spare time, you may wish to stay for a few more days, so that I can show my kindness as a landlord."

Sun Wukong said to Jun Hou Jishou: "Jun Hou, please stay. Thank you Jun Hou for serving tea today. Pindao has important matters in the near future, so it is inconvenient to stay for a long time. If there is a fate in the future, I may repay the Jun Hou for serving tea today."

In fact, he was thinking of the severe drought in Fengxian County in the future. According to the time calculation, it is estimated that Fengxian County will face severe drought in eleven or twelve years.

Sun Wukong thought that if he had the ability at that time, he might as well see if there was room for manipulation behind this matter.

Of course, this is something to say later, what Sun Wukong has to do now is to meet Comrade Tang Seng who has not yet set off.

Tang Seng set off from Chang'an on the twelfth of September, and it is only late spring and March, and there is still half a year to go.

Although Sun Wukong can't do a somersault for thousands of miles, the spell of riding the fog and rising the clouds is not too slow.

It is estimated that it will take less than a month to reach Chang'an.

At this time, the Jinghe Dragon King was almost dead, and Monkey King didn't intend to gallop all the way to see if the Jinghe Dragon King had any luck.

Then it's better to travel eastward slowly along the way, and see if there is a chance to take the luck of other demon kings along the way.

Leaving Fengxian County, Sun Wukong drove eastward on a cloud.

Passing by the lair, the twelve younger brothers are all developing and constructing according to his plan.

Monkey King only glanced at Yuntou before moving on.

It's only been a morning since he left, so it's impossible for something to go wrong so quickly.

It is nearly [-] miles from Yinwu Mountain to Mie France. According to the speed of Monkey King, it will take about sunset to arrive.

It's all right now, Monkey King sat on the cloud head and began to calculate the harvest of Fengxian County.

What he got from Shangguan Singer was not just news.
