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

To be honest, Ling Xu's brain is not easy to use, even if he pursues the stars and the moon, speeds up all the way, catches up with the footsteps of Hu Li and arrives at the Golden Luan Hall, and finally has the perfect opportunity to eat melons outside the court, it is not at all. I can't understand what they are talking about.

Ling Xu and his two little apprentices quietly disappeared, stood outside the Golden Luan Hall, and looked inside together.

A few people inside were arguing fiercely, arguing back and forth, arguing for a long while, listening to his ears callused.All in all it's roughly like this:

The national teacher pointed to Tang Seng and said, "Kill him! He is a monk, and a monk has no good things!"

After the national teacher finished speaking, Sun Wukong said: "Kill him! He is a monster, and the monster wants to eat you!"

The king is caught in the middle, it's very embarrassing.

The national teacher said: "Thinking of the country, there was a drought for three years, and the gods did not save you. The powerful country did not help, and forced you to a desperate situation. If I were a monster, only monsters in this world would save you! If I were a monster, you would be helpless." The road can be followed by me, and I should have fallen into the eighteen hells. Could it be that I am a hero when the country is in trouble, and you build altars and temples for me. Now the country is going well, but you listen to their one-sided words and believe that I am a monster. ? Is this different from Tusigou Cooking?"

The king is really in trouble.

Sun Wukong said: "Although the monster can call the wind and rain, but he deceives the people with his evil words. He tells you to kill the Buddha and worship the Tao, and offend the gods. How can the country last long? Beware of his evil intentions, saying that he will rule the country for you. One day the country will be strong, Then I quietly killed you and usurped the throne, and from then on, the three monsters became the lords of a country! When I was traveling west to learn scriptures, I once met the king of the Wuji Kingdom who was pushed by the monsters into the octagonal glazed well and drowned to death. You never even had a chance to be reincarnated! Do you want to end up like this?"

The king is really really embarrassed!

All in all, the two of them were at the Golden Temple, their swords were on the verge of breaking out, accusing each other one after another, one shouted: "Kill him!" The other shouted: "You should kill him!"

One shouted: "Kill him to keep the country in good order!"

Another sneered: "Kill him to keep the throne safe!"

The king was about to cry. On the one hand, he was a monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and he had to make offerings; But what to do?

Both of them had to be preserved, but the two sides were incompatible. He said a lot in the middle and said a lot weakly, which probably meant: Don't quarrel, you can be good friends...

Both sides turned their heads in unison, staring at the bewildered king with wide-eyed eyes, pointing at the opposite force, and asked in unison, "Do you want him or me!"

After yelling, they all stood with sullen faces, only waiting for the king to give a result.

Yet the king didn't want to make a decision.

The king wants both.

Seeing him wavering, the national teacher took a step forward and asked: "You have this golden palace now, and you have this delicious food for the monks of the Tang Dynasty. Did you ever think of it three years ago. What kind of situation is the country in? How did the gods abandon your people?"

When the king said this, the events of three years ago suddenly came to his mind, his expression froze, and sharpness burst out in his eyes.Suddenly he turned to Tang Seng, and said sharply: "At that time, my country suffered a severe drought for three years. I also asked the Buddha Guanyin for help, but there was a god who responded to me? If it weren't for the help of the national teacher, calling the wind and the rain, my small country would have already died Died due to drought. According to what you said, if the gods have a compassionate heart and refuse to save them, wouldn’t they be negligent in their duties?”

The little monk bowed respectfully to him, put his hands together, lowered his delicate eyebrows, and said: "Amitabha, we monks believe in Buddhism for the purpose of cultivating our body, purifying ourselves, and understanding the subtleties of Buddhism. Get rid of the sufferings of the world, and then help the world. Your Majesty usually does not get close to the Buddha, does not recite scriptures, does not know what the Dharma is, and only remembers to ask the gods for help in times of crisis. How can there be such a good thing in the world?"

Although his voice was not loud, his bright eyes were firm. Although he looked like a young man, he stood in front of the king without any fear at the moment, and said in a deep voice: "The country is suffering from severe drought, why don't you first control the water and repair the river, plant trees and lakes, and store rainwater?" , but only blindly praying to gods and worshiping Buddha? If the gods intervene in everything, and your majesty kills Buddhist disciples indiscriminately, it is a tyrant. Do you want a bodhisattva to take your majesty's head?"

Although what the little monk said is correct, it’s just that the king has been in power for a long time, and no one has ever dared to point his nose at him and say that he is not good, but now he is being criticized face to face by a foreign monk. He sneered and said: "I begged, I begged, but he didn't answer me, so I will naturally punish these useless monks. What can you do to me? According to me, what kind of Buddha, what kind of Guanyin, what kind of Ksitigarbha Dharma King in this world, They don't exist at all, if they really exist, how can they watch their believers suffer so much? If I were a murderer, they would all be accomplices!"

The little monk shook his head helplessly, sighed softly, and said: "Everyone has catastrophe. If these monks die as coolies, they have also contributed to the country's people's livelihood. It is their fate; Your Majesty's country The three years of drought are the karma left by the sins committed in the past. How can you blame the gods for not being willing to rescue them? People, if you live in a mess, can you escape retribution by burning incense? If there are such good things in the world , then murderers, robbers, all do bad deeds and then burn a stick of incense to settle the karma, what do you want the country's laws to do?"

The emperor was the most uninhibited person, he was reasonable before, but now he didn't reason, he couldn't speak when he didn't reason, once he didn't speak, the national teacher and Sun Wukong started arguing again.

The national teacher said: "The bald donkey!"

Sun Wukong said: "Monster!"

...and back to the beginning.

Ling Xu stood outside the Golden Luan Hall and watched, all anxious for him.

He pointed to the two groups of people who were having a good time quarreling in the Golden Luan Hall, and said to his little apprentice: "I decided to treat them as a special case for the overall evaluation of monsters.

As he was talking, Du Xian who was standing on the side suddenly said: "Master, can there be several souls in one person at the same time?"

Ling Xu blinked his eyes, stretched out his hand and scratched his head, looked at him and then at Hua Mo, and asked blankly, "What?"

"...Does this have anything to do with this matter?"

Duxian: "Oh, I was distracted just now, and I didn't hear what they said. I just suddenly remembered to ask you a question."

Ling Xu: "...we will discuss this issue later."

Hearing what he said, Duxian came back to his senses from the fugue state, opened his eyes as bright as a galaxy, tilted his head and lay at the entrance of the Golden Luan Hall, and looked at the group of people who were making a lot of noise inside. Arguing so much that they wanted to start a fight, they turned around and asked the master in a daze, "What are these people doing?"

"Am I missing something?"

Seeing that he didn't hear him at all, Ling Xu could only pat the little apprentice's head dotingly, and briefly summarized to him: "This king was secretly meeting with monks, but his Taoist national teacher found out, so his Taoist national teacher forced him to ask If he wants a monk, he still wants him."

"When the monk heard this, he was very unwilling. He thought to himself, I am a monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty. I am a high-ranking monk. You have seen me all the time. You actually let your national teacher humiliate me, even though he came from the Tang Dynasty better than me. It's early, but I'm more reasonable than him, and I'm pressing the king, do you want him or me."

Du Xian opened his eyes wide and asked, "Then what's going on now?"

Ling Xu said: "The king is not a good bird, he wants both, so now they are ready to fight."

Duxian: "..."

At this time, Huamo suddenly said: "What is the king arguing about? He is not a mortal. Why don't they just kill the king and divide the land equally, the east goes to the Taoist priests, and the west goes to the Buddha, so that everyone benefits. It shows that they don't really want to fight over who is right and who is wrong, they just want to fight for the king."

Duxian: "???"

Ling Xu suddenly realized as if he had been inspired, and said excitedly: "Exactly! Then I will also take the king into consideration when I examine the variables!"

After he finished speaking, he turned to Duxian and asked, "Do you have any unique ideas?"

Duxian said: "Oh, I actually didn't listen to what you two said just now, I was distracted again, and I was still thinking about the question I was thinking just now: why can two completely different things coexist in one person's body? What about different souls? If one of them is killed, what will happen to the other? Master, can you tell us about your personal experience?"

Ling Xu looked at his little apprentice weakly: "...well, don't think about such weird questions anymore..."

At this time, Huamo suddenly said: "I don't think the scene is chaotic enough."

He turned his head to look at Ling Xu, his bright eyes glowed with excitement, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually widened, revealing his sharp and gleaming teeth, an extremely delicate and pure face unexpectedly appeared With a kind smile: "Master, in order to make your assessment more accurate, let's go muddy the water."

Ling Xu was taken aback by him, and hurriedly asked another apprentice for advice, but Duxian looked at him blankly, scratched his head and said, "Oh, sorry, I was distracted just now. You said a person How many souls can you have on your body at most? Master, have you counted the ones on your body?"

Before he had time to answer, Huamo suddenly jumped forward, as if falling down, and let out a cry.

The three of them were originally hiding behind the pillars, but now that they pounced, the guards in the hall were startled, and they all shouted: "It's not good, there are assassins!"

Immediately drew his sword general, and they surrounded them.

The king was caught in the middle of a dilemma, suddenly seeing something happened outside, he hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

The guard shouted: "Your Majesty, there are assassins!"

"And there are three Taoist priests!"

Immortal Huli: "..."
