Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Chapter 374

Wujing's words made Bajie speechless, retreated embarrassingly, and said in his heart: I didn't expect that even the most honest Junior Brother Sha has become like this now, Amitabha.

In the end, the master and apprentice disguised themselves a little bit. If it was daytime, they would enter the city with a degree certificate. Even a monk could go straight to the palace.

But after all, there are many inconveniences at night, and they are still in the countryside at the moment. If someone really encounters them, they will naturally not be afraid, but the national situation of destroying France is such that it will inevitably cause unnecessary twists and turns.

It doesn't matter if they ask their masters and apprentices to torment those princes, nobles, gods and ghosts; but after all, they don't want to make these ordinary people bother.

Wujing's spirit body scattered away.

The great sage held the little white dragon in place, and left in a gust of wind, leaving only the voice of the great sage in the wind: "My grandson is going to find the way."

Xiao Bailong raised his hand, as if he wanted to pull the elder brother back, but he finally put it down.

It's been a long time since Eldest Brother took over his job as a Pathfinder Pioneer. It was just a carelessness, and he stole the neutral position.
"Ao Lie, how can you be so slack?!" Xiao Bailong swore secretly in his heart, but also showed a little bitterness, after all, there are too many things that he needs to keep in his heart all the time.

After sorting out his emotions, Xiao Bailong bowed to his master and said: "Master, this disciple is going to find out if there are any evil spirits in this country."

"Be careful." Fa Hai instructed him.

The little white dragon turns into a white snake and walks away.

Let's say that the great sage went straight into the clouds and looked down from above the city. Seeing the joy in the city and the auspicious light rippling in the city, he said to himself: This is also a blessed place, but such a resolute king has been born.

Extinguish the law, destroy the law. It is just the name of this country, which really makes people feel uneasy.

The main street crosses, although it is already night, the lights are bright and brilliant.

The Great Sage looked up, only to feel the light in the city, which was never lower than the bright moon in the east for a moment; there were urchins playing in the street and not returning home, and couples were seen returning to the embroidered curtain. They also saw the evening cooking and fireworks, and the night glow and mist.

Seeing this scene, the Great Sage couldn't help sighing in his heart: Throwing away those fake monks who were killed, the Kangding that destroyed France is enough to rank in the forefront among the countries that the Great Sage has experienced before.

Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Above the nine-fold high hall, a fragrant bell rings——

With a thought, the Great Sage turned into a flying insect and fell into the crowd.

There are six streets and three markets under the clouds. There is no curfew in this city, so pedestrians and hawkers are constantly coming and going. The great sage is near the eaves and corners of the house, trying to avoid people, but his ears are straightened up, listening to the words of the people. In the ears, and then filtered in the heart.

He has always paid attention to two aspects, one is the king's killing of monks; the other is the king's reputation among the people.

The former people don't talk much, and when they talk about it occasionally, the tone is ordinary, as if they are talking about something ordinary, but when some people talk about these monks who have been executed, their tone is unavoidable.

As for the reputation of the lord among the people, it is also very good, but a few people will say that this majesty is headstrong and kills innocent people indiscriminately
And the Great Sage also noticed another point, that is, not only Buddhist temples are being removed and monks killed in this country, but the Great Sage has searched all over the city, but he has never even seen the incense of Taoism.

On the contrary, there is a bit of literary spirit.

And it is completely different from the Confucian anger of Mr. Ziyu I have seen before. If you feel it carefully, it seems that the two sides still have some opposites.

While the Great Sage was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a lantern hanging on the door of a house in the corner of the corner.The great sage flew up with his hard wings and looked carefully. On the square lantern of the middle house, there was written the six characters of rest and business, and below it was written the four characters of Wang Xiaoer's shop. Only then did the traveler know that it was a restaurant.
If it's just an ordinary restaurant, naturally it won't be in the eyes of the Great Sage.

It's just that the shopkeeper Wang Xiaoer was contaminated with a path of karma, and the Great Sage followed the investigation and found it directly in the palace. After observing with the eyes of law, he realized that the shopkeeper Wang Xiaoer was actually a spy scattered among the people in the palace. .

The store has a dark room, and many of the documents and records are all information about the people and guests. Some of them are simple and only a few words, and some of them are focused on, and even the name of the other party will be made into a separate book, which carefully records the other party's information. words and deeds.

Among these people, some are serious business people, some are born outrageous, and some are villains with evil intentions.

And they also have their own end.

The Great Sage looked through several volumes carefully, and found a special record scroll about "Buddhism", which recorded many illegal things done by monks.

Most of them are monks pretending to be gangsters, but they are not unrelated to the real monks who have a certificate.

And at the end of the dossier, some cases of missing monks with surnames were recorded, and his task at the moment was to find these missing monks.He suspected that these monks who committed crimes had already returned to secular life and hid themselves in the disturbance.

Otherwise, how could people disappear for no reason?
The great sage rubbed this part with a photo-taking technique, and was going to take it back to show the master in a while, so it turns out that the king is also a sophisticated man, and he even sent spies into his own capital.

There is definitely not only one spy like Wang Xiaoer.

The Great Sage happened to discover Wang Xiaoer's identity just at the right time. As for the other spies, the Great Sage had no intention of exploring their secrets.

What's more interesting is that the identities of the people in this store are all different.

Except that the shopkeeper Wang Xiaoer is a spy in the palace, the people in the hall, the water bearers, and the fire burners are thieves who entered the city and hid here.

And the shopkeeper Wang Xiaoer had already seen through their hiding place, and the reason why they didn't tell them was that the shopkeeper Wang Xiaoer wanted to use them to catch those criminal monks who hid behind their backs and never showed up.

It is a pity that it has been more than a month since they entered the store, but they have not seen any results.

The Great Sage came out of the store without thinking too much, and went directly to the inner courtyard of the palace. He wanted to find out if the king was really wise.

The ruler of the country was lighting candles and correcting memorials, and there was an ancient book beside him. The Great Sage took a second look and saw the first book "Shen Zi". Even the great sage was knowledgeable, and this was the first time he had seen this book.

It can be seen that it is named after "Zi", so it must be a masterpiece.

The Great Sage wanted to see what the contents of the book were, so he drew a breeze, opened the pages of the book a little, and glanced over——

"The way of heaven, the reason is great, and the transformation is fine. The reason is also because of human feelings. People can do it for themselves. If you turn it into yourself, you can't get it and use it."

What does it mean?
See also-"The majesty obeys the law but does not bow, and the matter is judged by the law."

The Great Sage felt that this book was a bit interesting, it seemed like a Taoist classic, but it also seemed that the core had other intentions.

"His Majesty."

The queen came to His Majesty with a bowl of hot porridge, with a worried look on her face, "Your Majesty, the night is getting late."

"No hurry." The king rubbed the acupuncture points on the corners of his eyes, and said backwards: "This is a major matter in the country, and I should personally bow to it."

The queen put down the hot porridge, copied "Shen Zi" and said: "Your Majesty reads this book every day, scolds this book every day, and carries this book with him every day. But why bother?"

The lord sighed softly, and said: "This classic book is no small matter. It is the suicide note of the Central Plains Shenzhou. It is fortunate to be in the hands of the widow. The widow's view has benefited a lot, but I don't agree with some of the views."

"The concubine is a woman who doesn't know the way of the country." Seeing the melancholy expression of the king, the queen said, "But if your majesty is worried and troubled, you can complain to the concubine, or you can relieve the grievances in your heart. "

The king did not speak.

"Your Majesty is determined to be a wise and enlightened ruler, so don't you feel resentment and hurt yourself?" The queen stretched out her hand to pinch the shoulder of the monarch, and said softly: "Your Majesty is still young, if you lose your body, how can you use your heart to accept the world? "

"This book was sent by the prime minister." The lord took "Shen Zi" from the queen's hand, and said only one sentence: "The book says: Adhering to the law, emphasizing the situation, and valuing the cause. It is said that the people are in the king, and the affairs are in the end." Law."

"Isn't this very good?" After all, the empress still has some knowledge and can understand a little bit.

"The book is a good book, but it also says in the book. Therefore, the establishment of the emperor to think of the world is not the same as the establishment of the world. Looking at the empress, she said, "What do you think is the reason for sending this book to the widow before the prime minister died of illness?"

The queen thought about it seriously, and said: "No matter what, the prime minister was able to send this book to His Majesty before he died of illness, which shows the loyalty of his veteran."

"Once he dies, it will be over once and for all, leaving Nuo a big mess for the widow to clean up." The king's expression was complicated, and it was obvious that his friendship with the prime minister was not pure.

The king swiped a pen and wrote a word of Buddha on the table.

The Empress Dowager wiped it off with her hands.

"The matter of destroying the Buddha can't be left on the prime minister alone." The queen said with a wry smile: "Your majesty didn't make the final decree yourself? Killing nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-six monks in two years, your majesty's reputation , now in the entire Xizhou Buddhist realm, I am afraid it is the only one."

"Heh." The king said coldly: "There are more than 9000 fake monks like this, and those who are locked in prisons in various places, there are no less than a thousand people who are still fleeing in the mountains, or simply falling into the grass as bandits. , I don't know how many."

"But... what about the real monk?"

The empress queen didn't know what to say, the fact is that the real monk disappeared in the realm of exterminating dharma.

How could the king not care about such weird things?
He is the lord of a country, since these monks have committed a crime, they should deal with the law of the country.Now all of them have disappeared without a sound. If it is an ordinary stupid or mediocre king, he may ignore it.

But he was different. Although he didn't make any moves on the surface, he secretly sent orders to the country's spies, and he didn't relax the investigation of these disappeared monks.

At this point, the Great Sage understood a few things.

The most intuitive thing is that the lord of the country really deliberately kept the four pits from killing, but it was not aimed at their masters and apprentices.

The Great Sage stayed in the palace for quite a while, and then flew out of the palace gate. But he saw that Master and the others had already entered the city, and were going to Wang Xiaoer's shop.

PS: Fa Xiao got married, I went to help today, the update is a little less, and I will make it up later.
