I am guarding the sky prison in Journey to the West

Chapter 146
"Brother Monkey, those three monsters tricked the king of Che Chi Kingdom to tear down temples and destroy Buddha statues, and asked the monks of Che Chi Kingdom to work for them. It is really hateful!"

"Why don't we come here and treat others in the same way as others, and impose all the things they did on themselves, so that they can also experience the feeling of destroying this temple and becoming slaves!"

Zhu Bajie didn't notice that the monkey's expression was wrong, so he said without hesitation.

Unlike monkeys, when he was in the prison, Emperor Donghua revealed to Zhu Bajie that he had gone to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures in order to eliminate karma, and it was also a battle between Buddhism and Taoism to set the time for the great prosperity of Buddhism.

Zhu Bajie followed Donghua Emperor's advice and participated in the journey to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, but tried not to get involved in the struggle between Buddhism and Taoism.

Therefore, he put in half his strength from the beginning to the end, without making any mistakes, without being in the limelight, and pushed everything to the monkey.

But now, this obviously doesn't work!
After learning from the monks of Zhiyuan Temple the whole story of Che Chiguo and Jialan Tuomeng, the guardian, Bajie realizes that this is another test for them by Lingshan.

Last time, the Four Saints of Lishan, Guanyin, Manjusri, and Samantabhadra tested the mind of Zen.

This time, the test is their heart to the Buddha, which can also be said to be loyalty!

Buddha and Taoism, Xuan and Zen, he has to make a choice, he can no longer be a fool!
Zhu Bajie didn't struggle for too long, so he chose Buddhism.

After Li Anran captured him back to the Heavenly Court, the things he did in the mortal world spread throughout the Heavenly Court, and it can be said that his reputation was ruined.

Taoism has no place for him, and Buddhism is his only way out!
this idiot...

Oh, my grandson is the idiot!

The monkey has been paying attention to Zhu Bajie's expression, seeing that he deliberately raised his voice a few decibels, he immediately understands that Zhu Bajie should know the tricks, and he is here to show his loyalty to Lingshan.

"Something makes sense."

The monkey suppressed the annoyance in his heart, looked at Tang Monk and Sha Monk: "Master, Brother Sha, what do you think?"

Drifting didn't speak in a hurry, but looked at Tang Seng, and asked Tang Seng, the master, to speak first.

Tang Seng hesitated for a moment, then said: "The three state teachers of Che Chi Kingdom also prayed for rain for the people, relieved the drought, and relieved the people's poverty. They may not be some monsters and ghosts. There may be some misunderstandings in this."

"As the saying goes, 'enemies should be solved rather than tied'. We may make it clear to them when we go to the king of Chechi Kingdom tomorrow and stamp the customs clearance document. If we can resolve the misunderstanding, let Buddhism and Taoism be in harmony Getting along is better than facing each other with swords."

This old monk...

Monkey was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Bajie, a fake monk who was born in Taoism, would treat Taoism with cruelty and no room for mercy. On the contrary, Tang Seng, a serious Buddhist disciple Jin Chanzi, was reincarnated, and he was really merciful.

"Master!" Zhu Bajie became impatient when he heard this, "Do you think that everyone in this world is as compassionate as you are? Liu Ding Liujia's guardian Jialan has already entrusted his dream to let the senior brother deal with the three of them. What is going on here?" Will there be a misunderstanding? Could it be that Liuding Liujia Guardian Jialan is wronging them?"

"This……"

Tang Seng, an ordinary monk, naturally did not dare to question the words of Jialan, the protector of Liuding Liujia, so he opened his mouth, and finally chose to keep silent.

Seeing this, the monkey couldn't help it anymore, snorted coldly, and said, "Since Liuding Liujia and the guardian Jialan already knew about Che Chiguo, why didn't they just take action and rescue these monks from the sea of ​​suffering? Why don't you let them hold your breath and wait for my grandson to come?"

Zhu Bajie froze, but he didn't expect the monkey to refute him suddenly, so he hesitated for a while.

He knew that Lingshan deliberately used Che Chiguo to test them, so naturally he would not let others settle the matter of Che Chiguo.

However, these words cannot be put on the table.

"Perhaps... Xu is that there is something unspeakable about the King Kong Jialan, it is not good to meddle in the affairs of the world!"

Zhu Bajie managed to find an excuse, but he knew it was untenable.

Tuomeng was already meddling in the affairs of the world, not to mention calling the monkey to take action!
Apart from testing them, this matter is completely taking off their pants and farting, unnecessary.

The monkey ignored Zhu Bajie and looked at Monk Drifting: "Junior Brother Sha, what do you think?"

Drifting scratched his head: "Eldest senior brother, you know that I have always been blunt and blunt, and I am no match for second senior brother, let alone you. Whatever you ask me to do, I will do."

The monkey was stunned.

Before doing it differently, he would only think that his third junior brother is honest, honest and diligent.

But if you look at it from another angle, it's clearly a case of great wisdom and stupidity, great loyalty and treachery!

Just this simple sentence put the main responsibility on him!

Also!

Junior brother Sha was the general of the rolling curtain beside the Jade Emperor back then, if he was really stupid, he would not be able to sit in the position of the general of the rolling curtain!
The monkey couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart: "Thanks to my old grandson, I have always boasted that I am smart, but now it seems that except for the old monk, I am the only one kept in the dark!"

After this trial, he could see the attitude of his cheap masters and juniors.

Zhu Bajie was determined to convert to Buddhism, and he clearly saw the tricks behind it, but he never thought of reminding him, but wanted to drag him into the water together.

As an ordinary person, Tang Seng probably didn't see the hidden mystery, and he still wanted to resolve the matter peacefully, which is a bit pedantic but still good.

Drifting should have noticed it too, but he didn't pay much attention to this matter, his desire to show his loyalty was far less eager than Zhu Bajie's, and he seemed to rely on something.

The monkey said: "Master, my old grandson came back so late because I went to the Heavenly Court and asked the Jade Emperor about the Che Chi Kingdom."

"what?!"

The three Tang monks, master and apprentice, and all the monks around were shocked when they heard the words.

It never occurred to him that the monkey went to heaven about this matter, and even asked the Jade Emperor himself.

Tang Seng asked: "Wukong, what did the Great Heavenly Lord say?"

The rest of the people also looked at the monkey in unison, their faces full of nervous anticipation.

In the hearts of these mortals, the Jade Emperor is equivalent to a just authority.

The monkey said: "The Jade Emperor said that the three masters of the Che Chi Kingdom are all truthful, not some monsters and ghosts. They used the five thunder method to express their feelings to the Jade Emperor and moved the Jade Emperor to pray for rain. Only then did the emperor decree to rain, which relieved the drought in Chechi country."

"As for the king of the Chechi Kingdom who demolished Buddhist temples and destroyed Buddha statues, he was annoyed that they were useless and unable to help. It was not all because of the three national teachers."

Tang Seng sighed and said: "Namo Amitabha Buddha." But he also had nothing to say.

Tang Seng is not an ascetic monk who is ignorant of world affairs.

Che Chiguo has worshiped Buddhism for many years, but when a drought came, the Buddhist monks were useless. Instead, it was the Taoist priests from outside who prayed for rain to resolve the drought.

It's no wonder that the king of Chechi Kingdom felt cheated and became angry.

Even if it is changed to the Eastern Land Tang, or to any other country, the result will not be much different!

All the monks around burst into tears, feeling extremely wronged: "I can't wait for ordinary people. I only know how to chant scriptures to save people. I don't have the supernatural power that penetrates heaven and earth. How can I alarm the emperor of heaven and ask for rain?"

These monks don't have enough to eat every day, and they have to work all day long, relying on Liuding Liujia to keep their breath alive.

Under the sadness and despair at this time, many of them just passed out from crying, and the scene was miserable.

Tang Seng couldn't bear to see it, but the monkey didn't care.

In this world, the strong are respected. If you don't have that ability and are despised by others, who is to blame?

You can't let the King of Che Chi Kingdom raise a bunch of useless wine bags and rice bags, right?
Tang Seng said: "Wukong, even if they never asked for rain, they still chanted sutras to exhort people to do good. After all, they have made meritorious service to the country. Can you help them?"

The monks seemed to have seen a life-saving straw, knelt down around the monkey, and kowtowed: "Grandfather, great sage, be merciful, please help me!"

The monkey said: "This matter is difficult to say, but it is easy to say. The king of the Chechi Kingdom respected the Tao and exterminated the Buddha because he thought that the Buddha Dharma was useless. He only needs to let him see the power of the Buddha Dharma. Slack."

An old monk said: "We are all ordinary people, we don't know magic..."

"It's not easy!"

Zhu Bajie came up with an idea: "No matter how powerful those three national teachers are, they are no match for Brother Hou! Brother Hou only needs to use some supernatural powers to fight with those three national teachers and win them, and the king will naturally know Dharma supernatural powers, don't dare to take it lightly."

"Idiot!" The monkey stared and shouted, "What is my old grandson fighting with them? If you want to fight, they are fighting!"

"Ah?!" All the monks were dumbfounded.

If they can win against Immortal Hu Li and the others in their fighting skills, there will be no need for monkeys to rescue them.

Zhu Bajie was stunned for a moment, and then showed a suddenly realized expression, and gave a thumbs up: "High! It's really high! Brother Monkey, are you planning to show up yourself, and prepare to make a move in secret to help them win the three kingdoms?" division?"

The monkey didn't expect Zhu Bajie to have such a big brain, he said, "My old grandson won't do such dirty things!"

Zhu Bajie was stunned by the scolding and dared not speak again.

Tang Seng said: "Wukong, you don't want to keep it up, just tell me what you can do."

"Master, my old grandson is not fooling around. No, then go and learn!"

The monkey said: "My old grandson has a way to help them win the fight, so what about next time? What about the next time? Just don't talk about the fight, what if there is another drought in Chechi country in the future?"

"Those three national teachers are there, and they can still guarantee the smooth weather of Che Chi. If they are gone, what about Che Chi? What about the people of Che Chi? Don't they rely on monks who can't do anything but chant sutras?"

Tang Seng: "..." I always feel that you are alluding to something!
Tang Seng didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only ask: "Then what should I do? Are you going to teach them spells?"

"My grandson is not practicing Buddhism!"

The monkey rolled his eyes, his mind was bigger than that idiot, he twitched a mantra, and shouted into the air: "Liu Ding Liu Jia! Guardian Jialan! Five directions reveal the truth!"

After shouting several times in a row, patches of Buddha's light lit up in the void.

Liu Ding Liujia and Guardian Jia Lan appeared, stepped forward to pay respects and said, "Great Sage."

The monkey glanced over and found that Wufang Jiedi was not there, so he should go to Lingshan to report the news.

The monkey didn't care, and asked directly, "Did you hear what my old grandson just said?"

The concept of good and evil in monkeys is actually very weak. When they were mixed with the Bull Demon King and the others, they had been robbed by others.

If Lingshan had told him clearly that he wanted him to help Che Chiguo and other monks deal with Hu Li Yang Li Lu Li and the others, he would not have cared whether the Great Immortal Hu Li had attained the Tao or not, and would have just killed them!
However, if this is a nomination certificate, it will not work!

In order to come out from the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, the monkey promised Guanyin to be Tang Monk's apprentice, escort Tang Monk to the west to learn scriptures, convert to Buddhism, and then correct the fruit.

But after regaining his freedom, especially after being tricked into putting on a golden hoop and being driven back to Huaguo Mountain by Tang Monk's misunderstanding, he changed his mind and didn't want to be this monk with strict discipline and many rules!

Now he just wants to send Tang Seng to Lingshan, repay the kindness, and then let Tathagata untie the golden band on his head, go back to Huaguoshan, and continue to be his own free and easy Monkey King.

With this kind of thinking, the monkey naturally does not want to interfere in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, let alone be completely bound to Buddhism.

Liu Ding Liujia and Gujiao Jialan looked at each other with distressed expressions on their faces, but finally said bravely, "I heard."

The monkey said: "My old grandson does not practice Buddhism, so there is no way for them to prove the profoundness of Buddhism to the king of Chechi Kingdom. Would you like to pass on some Buddhist supernatural powers to them, so that they can compete with those three national teachers?"

The eyes of all the monks were bright, and the enthusiasm on their faces was almost gushing out, and they cast their bodies and said: "I beg Jialan God to be merciful!"

Liu Ding Liujia and Gujiao Jialan: "..." You want us to die, right? !
The status of Liuding Liujia and Guardian Jialan is not too high, but because they are responsible for protecting Tang Seng and supervising the scripture-learning team, they know a lot.

From time to time, you have to go out and participate in it yourself.

For example, this time the car is late.

They have been involved as early as 20 years ago to ensure that when Tang Seng and the others came, the monks of Che Chiguo would not die.

On the eve of Tang Monk's arrival, he entrusted a dream to a group of monks and asked them to seek help from Monkey King.

Another example is the Baoxiang Kingdom in the original time and space.

After the yellow-robed monster turned Tang Seng into a tiger, it was Liu Ding Liujia and Dharma Guardian Jialan who saved Tang Seng's life.

Similar things, and many more.

Because of this, they clearly knew that the battle between Buddhism and Taoism in Che Chiguo was to test the hearts of the three Monkey Kings towards Buddha.

As a result, things developed completely beyond their expectations!

Monkey did not lose himself in the praise of the monks and went to find trouble with Immortal Huli and the others, but chose to go to the heavenly court to sue Immortal Huli for violating the rules of heaven!
Liu Ding Liujia, Gujiao Jialan: ... This is not the outlaw lunatic we know, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven! ! !

They felt that things were a little out of control at that time, and they were afraid of repeating the same mistakes as Honghaier, so they immediately asked Wufang Jiedi to go to Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea to report the matter to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.

Before Wufang Jiedi came back, the monkey made another moth.

Instead of going to trouble with Great Immortal Huli and the others, standing up for the monks of Che Chi Kingdom to prove his heart to the Buddha, he went to them directly and asked them to teach the monks of Che Chi Kingdom spells? ? ?
Liu Ding Liujia and the guardian Jialan are numb.

They are here to test the heart of the Buddha, not really to provoke a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism!
Just when Liuding Liujia and Gujiao Jialan didn't know what to do, an auspicious cloud floated in the distance.

"Bodhisattva." Liu Ding Liu Jia's protector, Jia Lan's eyes lit up, and he rushed forward as if fleeing for his life.

The monkeys and the others also stepped forward to salute: "Disciple pays homage to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva."

Avalokitesvara nodded slightly, and said, "I already know about the Chechi Kingdom. Wait a moment."

"Yes." Everyone dared not say anything more.

Monkeys are no exception.

Although he was regretful and unwilling to convert to Buddhism, he was still grateful to Tang Seng and Guanyin who rescued him from trouble.

Soon, three figures were seen flying into the air in a panic.

The man on the left is wearing a white Taoist robe and has a goatee beard, the man in the middle is wearing a golden Taoist robe with a Chinese character face and a big beard, and the man on the right is wearing a blue Taoist robe and has a thin body.

It is Che Chiguo, Huli, Yangli, and Luli, the three great immortals!
Immortal Huli and the others dared to have Buddhist temples demolished in the mortal world and Buddha statues destroyed, but when they saw Guanyin Bodhisattva, they were so frightened that they fell to their knees with a "plop" and scrambled, "I pay my respects to Guanyin Bodhisattva!"
