Chapter 743: Prosperity and Decline

Sun Wukong put away the monkey's head style in the past, a Taoist true look, went over to salute, and said hello.

When the two Taoist priests saw that Sun Wukong was wearing a Taoist robe, they also changed their gifts. After a few words, the two Taoist priests were also quite enthusiastic, and they had the feeling that they knew everything and said everything. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Sun Wukong asked about these monks, a weak individual, how could he come here to work as a coolie.

The Taoist priest said that these monks enjoyed the benefits on weekdays, eating and drinking well, and even the fish and meat of the people, but the country could not ask for rain due to the great drought. But he was annoyed with the court, saying that the monk was useless, demolished his mountain gate, destroyed his Buddha statue, chased after him, and did not let him return to his hometown. Assigned to work as coolies everywhere.

It happened that a bridge was going to be built and paved to make it easier for the people, so these monks were brought over to make up for the sins they had committed before. They came here just because they were afraid that they would be lazy, so they came to check and check.

Sun Wukong obviously didn't believe the words of these two Taoist priests, and came to look for relatives under the pretext of saying that this intrusion was in these monks and wanted to go and see.

I thought that the Taoist priest would make things difficult, but I didn't think that the Taoist priest was easy to talk to, not only let him go to see him, but also said that if he could find it, he would let him go.

Sun Wukong was surprised, but he didn't forget to thank him and walked to the monk's pile. When the group of monks saw that it was a Taoist priest coming, they were not lightly frightened, and shouted one by one that they were not lazy.

Wukong secretly laughed at these monks for being timid, and it was rare to be feared and respected by a group of monks, but he still enjoyed it a little. However, in the end, he remembered his purpose and told the reason for looking for relatives, which made this group of monks relax their vigilance.

The monks suddenly had anticipation in their hearts, eager to be recognized, and looked forward to it one by one. Wukong laughed in his heart, laughing at some monks who did not chant scriptures and did not worship Buddha, but came to be the servants of Taoist priests.

The monks were mentioned to the sore spot, and immediately vomited bitter water. It is said that it is only because of the wind and rain, the three immortal chiefs came here, coaxed the king, demolished their temple, chased after them, did not let them return to their hometowns, and did not allow them to make up for the errands, and gave them to the immortal chief's family to use, and the pain was unbearable! But there is a wanderer who has come here, that is, he asks the king to receive the reward; If the monk comes, regardless of distance or proximity, he will bring it to the Immortal Chief's family helper.

Inside and out, it is nothing more than being persecuted by the three evil ways.

Wukong Taoist priests believe in these monks, but they are just ordinary mortals, how can it be so easy to ask for rain. If you take people to prison because of this, it really can't be justified.

Wukong asked again, that Taoist priest can do other temple spells. If it is because of a coincidence, I am afraid that it will be difficult to coax the king. The monks said one by one, but they told the Taoist priest's ability.

They couldn't go, they couldn't escape, they had to work as coolies again. There were more than 2,000 monks, but now there are only these 500. Either dying of cold, sickness and oppression, or committing suicide, these days are really difficult. They also wanted to kill themselves, but with the guardian Jialan guarding, they couldn't die, so they could only continue to stay here, waiting for the monk and his disciples from the Tang Dynasty to save them.

Wukong was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that he was sacred. Before leaving the two Taoist priests, he said that the five hundred monks were all his relatives, and asked them to be released.

The two Taoist priests naturally refused, but they didn't want Wukong to think that they were evil paths, and when they refused, they escaped from the golden hoop and beat them to death.

The monks were frightened, fearing that they would be affected, so they avoided one after another. In the end, Wukong revealed his identity and gave them protection before leaving.

Wukong went back and told Tang Sanzang everything as it was. Sanzang was shocked, or those monks fully understood, so they put their minds at ease, otherwise they would dare to let Sun Wukong go again.

At night, Sun Wukong jumped into the air to watch because of the things in his heart. I saw that the south of the city was brightly lit, but it was a Taoist priest. But see that

The high hall of the spiritual area, the blessed land is really the hall. The high hall of the spiritual area is majestic and majestic like a tent pot; The blessed land is really a hall, faintly clear as the Huale Palace. The Taoist priests on both sides played the sheng spring, and the front was high and the jade was simple. Xuanli "Disaster Elimination Confession" and began to lecture on "Tao Te Ching". The dust was passed on several times, and all the confessions were prostrate. The curse water is shut, and the candle flame is fluttering and rushing to the upper realm; Cha Gang cloth bucket, cigarette smoke is lush and clear. There are offerings on the desk, and there is a feast on the table.

In front of the door of the hall, hang a couplet of yellow silk brocade, embroidered with twenty-two big characters, clouds: "The rain is in tune with the wind, and I wish the heavens immeasurable; Ha Qing Haiyan, praying for more than one long life. ”

Wukong saw the three old Taoist priests, wearing magic clothes, thinking that it was the tiger power, the deer power, and the sheep power immortal. There were seven or eight hundred scattered people below, drumming and bells, serving incense and confessing, all standing on both sides.

Wukong said secretly: "If I go down alone to do a game with him, there will be no single thread, and it will be difficult to sing alone, and I will go back and call Bajie and Sha Seng to play together." ”

Press the head of the falling clouds, and see Bajie and Sha Seng asleep. Sun Wukong first called Wujing, and Monk Sha woke up and said, "Senior brother, what is calling me in the middle of the night?" ”

The walker said, "Get up, and I'll talk to you again." ”

Sha Seng said: "Three watches in the middle of the night, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

The walker said: "There is a Sanqing Temple in this city. The Taoist priests in the temple repaired, and there were many offerings on the Sanqing Palace: the steamed buns were big enough to be big, and the burned fruit was fifty or sixty catties each, and there were countless rice linings, and the fruits were fresh. I'm going to get some with you! ”

The Zhu Bajie woke up in his sleep when he heard that he had eaten something good, and said, "Senior brother, if you are partial, don't you take me some?" ”

Wukong said: "Second junior brother, you want to eat, don't shout, wake up the master, come with me." ”

The two of them put on their clothes and quietly walked out of front of the door, and the entourage stepped on the clouds and jumped up.

When the nerd saw the light, he was about to start, but Wukong grabbed and said, "Don't be busy, and you can go down only when he is gone." ”

Bajie said: "He just read the head, but how can he be willing to disperse? ”

Wukong said: "Wait for me to figure out a way, and he will disperse." ”

Wukong twisted the trick, recited a spell, took a breath on the Xundi, and blew away, and a gust of wind swept straight into the Sanqing Palace, and blew down some of his vases and candlesticks, and the merits hanging on the four walls, and then the lights were gone. The Taoist priests were frightened, and Huli Daxian said: "The apprentices are scattered, this gust of divine wind has passed, blowing out the lamps and candles and incense flowers, everyone goes to bed, and the Ming Dynasty gets up early and recites a few more volumes of scriptures." ”

When the Taoist priests heard this, they retreated in turn.

The three of Wukong looked at the full house of fruit and dim sum, and they were secretly happy.

Unexpectedly, in an unknown place, a man opened his eyes and said to himself: "After waiting for so long, it is finally here." ”

"They all say good words about Buddhism, but this time they have to learn and learn to see if they can turn the white into black and the dead come back to life."

Then the fairy light flashed in this person's eyes, and he actually reflected the scene of Sun Wukong in the audience. I saw that they were eating the seastuffs in the middle of the watch, and smashing them everywhere. even knocked over the statue of Sanqing and sat on it himself.

"Presumptuous, simply presumptuous." This man was furious, "How dare you disrespect a saint like this, the Buddha is really bold." ”

The man wanted to say something, but he didn't continue. These people are still not Buddhists, and they were even from the Xuanmen before, but it is no wonder that Buddhism is not at all.

"Fortunately, it was these three clear views at the beginning, if it was... That would be a great sin. The man seemed to have a lingering palpitation as he spoke.

"I hope that those three little demons will fight for luck, and don't let Buddhism get cheap." The man then said, "I will make up for this mistake." ”
