Journey to the West: The Golden Crow Sage

Chapter 586 The Monk
Monkey and Mo Chen led the way, Tang Seng rode his horse and walked in the center, Nasha Seng and Zhu Bajie carried luggage and sundries to the back, and within two cups of tea, the group entered the city.Although the country of Jisai is a country with one city as its own, it is a blessing. With Bibotan nearby, the weather will be smooth and there will be no natural disasters. Therefore, the people's lives are good and the country is strong.

The people in this city are bustling with people, six streets and three markets, goods and wealth, rich clothes, luxurious figures, towering buildings, colorful clouds and mist, it is really a prosperous scene, although it is not as prosperous as that of Chang'an in the Eastern Tang Dynasty, it is not far behind. Far.

"The poor monk has passed through many large and small countries along the way to the west, but today's country has a bit of the atmosphere of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, but it makes the poor monk feel a little bit touched by the scene." Tang Seng looked at it. Looking at the crowd of people coming and going, he said with emotion.

This Xiniu Hezhou has mixed forces, human races, monster races, Buddhist sects, and other powerful ashrams are all over the place. The residences of the human races are basically divided into three or five cities to form a small country. The country, if you want to expand the territory, you will either encounter demons and ghosts to block you, or you will have a powerful Daochang.

"Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty is indeed a rare and prosperous capital city in the four major continents. Li Shimin is also a rare virtuous king today. In the future, he may be blessed to go to the holy place of the human race, Huoyun Cave, to enjoy happiness!" Mo Chen continued. Said Tang Seng's words.

It is not that there are not no countries in the four major continents, thousands of miles in size, but there are quite a few, but as far as Mo Chen can see, in terms of national strength, the Tang Dynasty alone is the only one that outshines its peers. Since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the entire country in Nanzhan Buzhou has been radiated and influenced by the culture of the Tang Dynasty. Once Buddhism is widely spread in the Tang Dynasty, it is a matter of time before it is extended to Nanzhan Buzhou. For gods and demons, time is the least valuable thing.

Huoyun Cave, the holy land of the human race!
Tang Seng's eyes moved slightly as he rode forward. Although he believed in Buddhism, worshiped the Tathagata, and turned towards the west, he was still a human race, and he was still a human race with a high status. Naturally, he had read about Huoyun Cave in related classics, but he used to be Look at it as a myth.

It is said that all emperors who have contributed to the human race can ascend to the Huoyun Cave after death, and enjoy a long and happy life. It is the only holy place for the human race to protect the human race forever and be enshrined by the incense of the human race!
"Amitabha, Your Majesty has devoted all his energy to governing the country. Even going to Huoyun Cave to enjoy a long life is still affordable." Tang Seng put his hands together and said quite sincerely. He also hopes that Li Shimin will have a good result.

Mo Chen doesn't know if he can bear it or not. He just mentioned it casually. After all, it is a holy land of the human race. It is the ancestors of the human race such as the Three Emperors and Five Emperors who decide. Mo Chen's words can't be counted. Of course, with the ability to govern , he can indeed go up, but what if any ancestor is unhappy with his act of killing brothers and brothers? The ancestors of the human race are also human, and they also have emotions and personal likes and dislikes.

Just chatting and watching, when walking through a certain corner, Mo Chen's pupils shrank suddenly, and his expression immediately became solemn, and there were a dozen or so monks wearing shackles in front of the corner. Wearing a lock, begging along the street, dressed in rags, in a state of distress, it stands to reason that ordinary people would give alms to these outsiders of Buddhism, but wherever these monks begged, the pedestrians and ordinary people would stay away as if they were avoiding the plague. Don't give them money at all!

This scene is clearly the beginning of the treasure-robbing in Bibotan, why don't you call Mo Chen not surprised?His daughter-in-law, Princess Wan Sheng, is currently in retreat, and the Nine-Headed Insect has been cleaned up by him a long time ago, and now he doesn't know where it is. Without these two, how can these monks still live on the streets?
"The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and things hurt its kind." Not only Mo Chen, Tang Seng, his master and his disciples also saw these dozen monks. Faced with the miserable end of his colleagues, Tang Seng was of course deeply concerned, and he said: "Wukong, you Go and ask, why are they suffering here in chains?"

The monkey answered yes, strode forward, and stopped the monks, but before he could ask any questions, the group of monks suddenly became happy, and they all knelt down on the ground and shouted: "Greetings, grandpa, grandpa, please!" Help me and wait!"

The monkey was a little surprised, but he didn't think too much about it. He pointed at the monks with his stick and said, "You are the monks of that temple. How can you live in such a miserable life, wearing shackles and chains, but what unforgivable crime have you committed?"

"Grandpa Qi, we are the unjust monks of Jinguang Temple, and we have not committed any crimes. It is only because of our incompetence that we ended up like this!" The leading monk looked at the monkey timidly and said.

A monk from Jinguang Temple?

As soon as Mo Chen heard the name of this temple, he immediately became more certain that without his own wife, what should have happened still happened. However, who stole the treasure this time, within the scope of Jisai Kingdom, it belongs to the territory of Bibotan, Bibotan There's nothing wrong with stealing that relic, what do you do?Could it be a passing demon?

He guessed wildly here, without a clue, and Tang Seng asked questions over there, but the monk refused to answer, so he had to let the master and disciples go back to the temple with them, and there was no place to stay, so Tang Seng agreed to go with them gone back.

After a short walk, a magnificent temple with a vast area appeared in front of everyone. However, the gate of the temple was closed tightly with a seal, and it was deserted. The green brick floor around the courtyard wall was full of fallen leaves. It has been a long time since no one cleaned it, and the whole temple is full of dilapidated atmosphere.

"Grandfathers, please follow me." The monks led a few people around the gate and entered a small side door. Entering the temple was worse than looking outside. The Buddha statues collapsed, the murals were dusty, and spider webs It is dense, even the incense table was cut off by someone, maybe it was taken home and burned as firewood.

Tang Seng saw this appearance, his face was full of unbearable, and his heart was sore and tense. How could such a good temple be born like this?
When he entered the main hall, he saw several monks hanging on the wall. He finally couldn't bear it any longer and asked, "I asked you just now, but if you don't tell me, now you can talk about how you ended up like this." Right? Wukong, untie them!"

Sun Houzi breathed lightly, and all the monks who were hung on the wall fell down. One of the elders was probably the abbot. He saw the joy on the face of the visitor, and greeted him and explained the matter thoroughly. Confidentially.

This place is exactly the same as the catastrophe in Mo Chen's memory. This temple lost its relics. The king was furious, thinking that they were guards and stealing themselves, so he captured them all and tortured them severely. This is how the temple looks like now ...
