[Journey to the West] Tucao Emperor who was delayed by Buddhism

At the end, the monkey grandson said to me: "Your Avalokitesvara is a little different from the Avalokitesvara passed down in the world."

I looked at his appearance that he didn't want to be beaten, and I said to him: "You, Monkey King, are exactly the same as the Monkey King in the world."

After chatting, I took Hui An and left.

Just before we left, he was still holding the iron rod and knocking on Monkey King's skull tenaciously, wishing to make a hole.

My apprentice is a vengeful one.

After I finished those words with Monkey King, I admired myself.What's more, looking at Sun Wukong's appearance, he seems to believe it.

In fact, I know better than anyone else, just that court?Total rubbish.

I bother.

The last stop of our trip is Chang'an.

There are actually two things to say about Chang'an.

These two things are all about the Dragon King.

The first Dragon King was an unlucky Dragon King.

He was in charge of the rainfall on the Jinghe River. One day he heard the conversation between the fisherman and the woodcutter, and he learned that there was a man named Yuan Shoucheng who was very accurate in divination. Murloc.

But in this way, wouldn't all the water tribes in the Jing River be wiped out?

He pretended to be a white-clothed scholar, and went to Yuan Shoucheng to do a fortune-telling calculation. He calculated that it would rain in time and how much it would rain. He also made an agreement with that Yuan Shoucheng that if he made a slight mistake in his calculation, he would drive Yuan Shoucheng out of Chang'an.

He thought that a fortune teller, how much can he calculate?Who knew that the Jade Emperor's decree was exactly what Yuan Shoucheng said. For a moment, he thought to himself, he is just the dragon king of a river. There are thousands of rivers in this world, and there is so much rain every day. How can we know if there is one drop more or one drop less?

So he changed the time of the rain, changed the number of rain, and went to find Yuan Shoucheng the next day to settle the score.

Who knew that Yuan Shoucheng not only knew that he was the Dragon King of Jinghe, but also knew that he was about to be executed by the Jade Emperor, so scared that the Dragon King asked him for a way to survive.

Yuan Shoucheng said that it was Wei Zheng who killed the Dragon King, and he had to ask Taizong to stop Wei Zheng.

The Dragon King hurriedly begged Tang Taizong to spare his life, and the emperor naturally agreed to him. Who knew that Wei Zheng fell asleep while playing chess with Taizong, and beheaded the Dragon King while dreaming.

The Dragon King died tragically, and the ghost went to Tang Taizong to settle accounts, and Tang Taizong was troubled by him day and night without peace.

The Buddha said to me: "The ghost of the Dragon King is going to bother that Emperor Taizong. You are in Chang'an, so drive a ghost for him along the way."

Although I claim to save the suffering, but this matter is obviously a matter of the Heavenly Court, and the Dragon King was also killed by the Heavenly Court, why should I go after something happened?

Buddha said: "Oh, compassion, compassion, this is a diplomatic issue, a diplomatic issue."

Every time he raises a diplomatic issue, I know there is absolutely nothing good about it.

After all, Heavenly Court and Western Heaven are two factions. If we want to help Tang Taizong exorcise ghosts, then the Jade Emperor must have promised the Buddha something.

So here comes the question, this Dragon King was beheaded by the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Court can even kill a living Dragon King, let alone a dead one?

Secondly, the Dragon King just reduced the rain, and the Jade Emperor was so well-informed that he changed the rain. Then Yuan Shoucheng revealed the secret and asked the fishermen to wipe out all the water tribes in the Jing River, and then revealed the Jade Emperor’s imperial decree. No half penalty?

So I said, there are a lot of articles here.

The second thing is a lucky Dragon King.

There is a man in Haizhou, named Chen Guangrui, who won the first prize in the examination and rode a horse to see all the flowers in Chang'an. It happened that the lady of the prime minister's family, Cailou, was recruiting relatives, and a hydrangea ball hit her, and a good marriage was formed.This Chen Guangrui was originally a humble scholar, but in an instant he had fame, daughter-in-law, background, and was sent to Jiangzhou by the imperial court.

Chen Guangrui bought a golden koi on the way, and he was relieved for a moment.Who knew that he was kind-hearted, but the people on the road were not. Two boatmen in Hongjiang saw his wife, Miss Yin, was beautiful, so they killed him, robbed his identity and his wife, and went to Jiangzhou to take up his post.

And that Chen Guangrui was thrown into the river. It happened that the Dragon King in the river was the golden koi that was beaten up that day. Seeing that this man had saved his life, he used his treasure to keep his body and his soul. , let him work in the Crystal Palace.

Miss Yin was kidnapped by thieves for eighteen years, and she left her son on a wooden board to drift away. Eighteen years later, Xuanzang grew up and knew his life experience, so he returned to the capital to ask his father-in-law for help, and saved his mother and grandmother. Kill those two thieves.

Then the Dragon King saw that Chen Guangrui's vengeance had been avenged, so he released him alive and let him float back on the river.

Looks great, doesn't it?

So here comes the question, since the Dragon King can bring Chen Guangrui back from the dead, why didn't he just let him come back to life from the dead in the first place, go to the capital to ask the prime minister for help, or kill the thieves, snatch his wife and son back, and bring back his wife and son who were thrown on the road. What about the old mother over there?This is what a normal husband, father, and son should do, right?

……

It has been 18 years. His wife has been taken over by others for 18 years. His son was placed on a wooden plank and went down the river with unknown life or death. The old mother was begging on the side of the road for 18 years and went blind. Chen Guangrui himself is very concerned Well, I went on an errand under the water with the Dragon King!

You are also a little fairy when you work with the Dragon King, your wife, son, and mother are all helpless and miserable, and you are dying, and you didn't even say a word!

And that majestic dragon king, who can be labeled as an aquarium for people to cook and eat?What do you do as the Dragon King? Do you cook?

Aren't you supernatural and have a lot of babies?

Anyway, after this matter was over, I asked Tathagata if he had done something secretly behind my back.

Tathagata looked serious, and said to me: "I asked you to go to Chang'an to find a Buddhist scripture learner. What are you doing digging up all these old things?"

I said that the person who learned the scriptures was the little monk Xuanzang!No matter how you look at this matter, there is a problem!

Tathagata said: "Avalokitesvara, don't be serious, this is a diplomatic issue, a diplomatic issue..."

……

As soon as diplomatic issues are mentioned, I know that nothing is good.

I just said, why would he ask me to exorcise the ghosts of Tang Taizong for no reason? He and the Jade Emperor have already colluded with each other. If this little monk has a miserable fate, it will be bad luck for the next three generations!

Finally, the useless father of the little monk Xuanzang continued to go back to work as an errand. My mother couldn't think about it, and committed suicide again and again, again and again, and the third time died simply, and I couldn't save him.At this point, the child's life experience has finally become the protagonist's life experience.

After these unlucky things were over, Tathagata finally proved to me with his own actions why this little monk was the default person to learn the scriptures, and others were not the default ones.

Probably because the three generations of their ancestors did not have bad luck.

A qualified protagonist must either have both parents dead, or one of them will die. Anyway, it is difficult for a protagonist whose parents are still alive to succeed.

So, being a parent is not easy, and being the protagonist's parent is even more difficult.

Hui An and I came to Chang'an this time to present the brocade cassock and nine-ringed tin staff to Xuan Zang, the Buddhist scripture learner.The Tathagata said that if you wear his cassock, you will not fall into reincarnation; if you hold his tin staff, you will not be poisoned. Therefore, if I personally send the tin staff and cassock to the emperor of Tang Dynasty, and then the emperor rewards Xuanzang, then it is considered orthodox. .

I thought to myself, I saved the emperor who was threatened by the Dragon King, so I just gave it to him, and he might even bow to me.

If I don't listen, he will turn on the lecture mode, and he can talk me to death remotely.

So, Hui An and I changed our appearance and turned into two monks with scarlet heads, and went to Chang'an City to sell cassocks.

People in this world seem to have misunderstood that Taoist master, but anyone who is well-dressed and beautiful like a flower thinks it is frivolous and superficial. Those with scarlet heads and rags, walking on the road holding the golden cassocks, look like immortals who have achieved the Tao, so those who worship masters in barren mountains and wild mountains generally do not worship those who are well-dressed. It seems that all the well-dressed people are transformed by monsters, and if the gods want to change, they will all change into ugliness.

In fact, things were not like this at the beginning, because most of the gods have good aesthetics, and they all change for the better; as for the monsters, they are all from the mountains in the village, and their aesthetics are indescribable, but for some reason, they are passed on. It was crooked, and the gods had to turn ugly, otherwise no one would pay attention to us. Fortunately, most of the monsters live in the corners, and the news is not well informed, otherwise I don’t know how many people will be killed.

Hui An and I were walking down the street with cassocks in our hands. If someone asked how much it was, we would hypocritically say 5000 taels. We walked all the way, and people told us that we were sick.

But the thing is like this, the Tathagata likes to make face-saving projects, but there is no way, if the cassock is given to the emperor, the emperor will not cherish it; We set a high price, and then said that ordinary people will pay a high price to buy it, but if we meet a high-ranking monk, we will give it to him.

Is Xuanzang an eminent monk?Of course not, when he was a golden cicada, he could fall asleep listening to sermons.

Look at Hui An, Hui An has followed me for thousands of years and hasn't learned fart. He knows that when he listens to the sermon, he has to pretend to be listening. That golden cicada can't even pretend.

One of us was lame and the other was lame, walking on the road in rags. Hui An said to me, "Master, you don't look real. This monk in rags, living in the open, where can you be so thin?" Flesh, you can tell it's fake at a glance."

Hui An and I said, "You're lame on the left side and on the right side, so you're pretending to be real?"

Hui An thought for a while, and said to me: "Otherwise, you pretend to be a woman, I pretend to be a wood, and you and I act in our true colors. This way, everyone will be fooled."

...Whoever plays your true colors!I bother!

It's rare for me to wear men's clothing once in thousands of years, and I haven't had enough of this addiction!

We walked halfway and met the prime minister Xiao Yu returning from the court. The officers and soldiers drove away two passers-by.

The prime minister stared at the brocade cassock in my hand, and at the nine-ringed tin staff in Hui An's hand. Seeing the shining treasure, he asked, "How much is this cassock?"

I breathed a sigh of relief, but I met someone, and I can end the task as soon as possible.This prime minister has good eyesight, and he can definitely see that these are treasures, and the Tathagata's face project is still okay.

I said, "The cassock is 5000 taels, and the tin staff is 2000 taels."

He looked at the treasure in our hands, and suddenly turned his eyes to the rags on our bodies.

When he looked at it like this, I suddenly had a bad feeling, because as I said just now, people in the world have misunderstood the baby recently.

Xiao Yu said: "Then how much do you charge for the rotten clothes on both of you?"

……

I said I have a bad feeling!

Hui An said: "Bad clothes are worthless, and the treasures in your hands are the treasures."

You idiot, shut up!

Xiao Yu waved his hand, and said calmly: "Then I'd like to give all I have to buy your rags!"

After finishing speaking, he still pretended to understand very well, and whispered to the people around him: "Look at the treasures in their hands, they are bright and beautiful, but they are wearing tattered clothes. It is obvious that the Taoists want to test us. We are confused by the appearance, and we have to see the essence through the appearance, the splendid clothes and beauty are just fleeting dust, so the real treasure is the rotten clothes on them."

……

You, the prime minister, have a lot of ideas yourself.

After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he asked us intently: "I don't know how the two masters can sell me the rotten clothes on their bodies?"

Hui An stood still, his expression remained motionless, his skin and flesh remained motionless, and whispered to me: "Master, he asked us to undress in the street, should I kill him now?"

If you beat him, you will know that you beat him to death. After he dies, you will become the prime minister for someone else!
