Journey to the West I am just a river god

Wukong went straight to the beach alone, pulled a cart of goods over with a magical power, passed through the spine, lifted it up, and smashed it to pieces.

And throw all those bricks, tiles and trees down the slope.

Then he shouted loudly: "Let's all go, don't need to surround me, wait until I see the emperor tomorrow, and then kill that Taoist priest!"

The monks said: "Grandpa, I dare not go far away; but I am afraid that if the officials take it and release it, they will be eaten and redeemed, and there will be disasters when they return."

Wukong thought for a while and said, "In this case, I will give you a protective method."

Ever since, Wukong plucked a handful of hair from his stomach, put it in his mouth and chewed it to pieces, and then every monk gave him a piece.

2 Thirty Chapters Zhiyuan Temple Body, Sanqing Temple Shocked

Some of these monks were bold, and some of them were purely curious, so they took the shredded hair and shouted "Equal to Heaven!"

Suddenly, I saw a monk with the appearance of Lei Gong standing in front of him. This monkey was holding an iron rod in his hand. You still have the strength of the alchemy stage. If it is a normal mortal army, there may not be hundreds of people who can't defeat him.

Seeing that someone called Monkey King, two similar figures appeared, and others shouted Monkey King one after another. As a result, a hundred or ten great saints appeared to protect the group of monks.

The monks kowtowed and said, "Grandpa! It's really a great supernatural power, it really works!"

It’s just that turning hair into a monkey also requires energy consumption, and it’s useless to summon it now, so Wukong ordered: “You are shouting the word ‘Ji’, take it all back, summoning it now just consumes energy.”

The group of monks shouted "Ji!", and the group of great saints all disappeared, and the vellus hair just now appeared in their hands.

All the monks felt relieved, and escaped joyfully, and dispersed in a crowd.

"You don't have to go too far. After I finish solving these things in the city, I will publish a list of monks, and you will return to Chen to return this hair to me and continue to be your monk." Wukong added.

So the five hundred monks, walking and running, scattered and disappeared.

"Great Sage, can you recycle your hair?" Lin Yun is still very interested in this ability of Monkey King. Pulling out the hair and blowing it can turn into so many illusions. Although the strength is weaker, but with It is still very pompous to play soy sauce to support the scene.

"Why do you want to learn too? I can teach you, but you don't have so much hair on your body, you have to pull out your hair."

"Uh... forget it..."

But he said that Tang Seng and others were by the road, waiting outside the city for too long, and Wukong and Lin Yun didn't come back, so they walked into the city with Bajie and Drifting Monk.

The person who entered the city happened to meet the monks who were leaving the city.

But I didn't ask too much, I just felt that these monks were quite poor and didn't have any clothes to wear.

After walking for a while, I didn't see Lin Yun and Wukong until the city wall. There were a few monks beside them who hadn't gone far.

Tang Seng reined in his horse and asked: "Wukong, why did you come to inquire about the sound and haven't come back for so long?"

"Master, don't worry, just listen to me slowly." So Wukong told Tang Seng what he had just encountered.

Unsurprisingly, Tang Seng was shocked and said, "It's like this, what should we do?"

But the dozen or so monks said: "Master, don't worry. Grandpa Sun Dasheng is a god who came to the world, with great supernatural powers, and he will protect you. We are monks in the Zhiyuan Temple built by imperial edict in this city. Because this temple is the imperial palace of the ancestor Wang Taizu. It was built, including the statues of the ancestors of the ancestors, and has not been demolished. The other temples in the city, no matter how big or small, have all been demolished. I will ask the master to enter the city as soon as possible and settle down on my barren hill. When the court tomorrow morning, Sun Dasheng will definitely deal with it .”

After hearing this, Tang Seng was relieved, so he got off his horse and walked under the city gate, and the sun was already setting.

After crossing the suspension bridge and entering the third-story gate, people on the street saw the monks of Zhiyuan Temple leading horses and carrying bags, and they all hurriedly avoided them, fearing that they would get into trouble.

After walking for a while, when the stars and the moon were about to rise, it finally arrived.

But there is a big plaque with gold characters hanging high on the door, which reads "Zhiyuan Temple was built by imperial edict".

The monks pushed open the door, passed through the Vajra Hall, and opened the main hall door.

In order to maintain the solemnity, the Tang monk took off the cassock and put it on, and worshiped the golden body of the Buddha before entering the plum blossom.

The monks suddenly said: "Host!"

It turned out that an old monk came out. When the old monk saw Wukong, he bowed and said, "Grandpa! Are you here?"

Although Wukong likes to be other people's grandfathers and grandpas, he is still not used to having a grandson suddenly: "Which grandfather do you know, that's the name?"

The old monk said: "I want to recognize you. You are the great sage Qitian Grandpa. We see you every night in our dreams. Taibai Jinxing often comes to dream and says, we can save our lives only when you come. We will see you today." , the dignity is the same as in the dream. Grandpa, it’s good that you came early! If you are a day or two late, we will all be ghosts!"

Wukong smiled and said: "Please get up, please get up, stay here tonight, and I will settle this matter tomorrow morning."

So, although the monks were poor, they still gathered here and there to arrange a fast meal. Although it was a little short, it was not easy after all.

Lin Yun said that money is really not important, so he dumped a lot of good things from Ba Jie.

"I said Senior Brother Lin Yun, it's fine if you are a good person, why use my old pig's private money." Bajie said with a look of willingness.

"What's the matter? Our brothers and sisters don't care about these extraneous wealth, only you old pig will carry it with you. These monks are so poor, but they still save their food. You don't even think about how much you ate tonight. Those monks are still hungry and only drank half a bowl of rice soup."

Lin Yun said righteously, of course he would not tell Bajie that there are too many treasures in his storage treasures, let alone gold and silver.

"That's right, the monks like Bajie are so bitter, you can see that none of the clothes they wear are complete, and your family has a lot of money, so it's not a big deal to take it out to help them. Besides, what do monks need so much gold and silver for. " Tang Seng also spoke.

"Master, don't worry about what you said. You don't have to spend money on anything in the secular world. It's too troublesome to beg for everything. If you have some gold and silver, buy what you should buy and spend what you should spend." , just like today, if there is no such gold and silver, where will these monks go to get us food."

"Master, the great sage, or the Bajie Drifting Monk. Speaking of this, I have a question. I just want to talk about it with my senior brothers and discuss it. It's still early, and I'm not in a hurry to rest after dinner. Besides, the room has not been tidied up yet."

Lin Yun suddenly thought of something interesting and wanted to hear their opinions.

"Oh, this is rare. Tell me what you saw."

"Just now Bajie talked about money, as well as being a monk for alms. I have seen a lot about Buddhism before. I have seen too many rises and falls. A country has a policy called equal land system, which allocates land to military households. It is also stipulated that monks can allocate 30 mu of land and nuns 20 mu.”

"My Tang Dynasty also has the same policy now." Tang Seng interjected.

"Well, it is the same now in the Tang Dynasty. Later, that country's land mergers were serious, and the land equalization system gradually collapsed. But at the same time, Buddhist temples did not suffer losses, and the emperors of all dynasties still granted land. Later, a huge temple economic group took advantage of the situation to expand. Public and private land Most of the residences are owned by monks. Most of the beautiful fields belong to the monasteries, and officials cannot control them. It is very rich in the world, but the Buddha has seven or eight."

Having said that, Lin Yun paused for a moment.

After these people digested it, Lin Yun said again: "Whether it is human race or monster race, even those wolves, tigers and leopards are all raised by nature, and have parents who respect their relatives, but this time they escaped into the Buddhist gate, and they are devoted to it." It’s the Buddha that I’m aiming for.”

"I can't agree with this as a teacher. Escaping into Buddhism doesn't mean giving up everything. It just turns a little love into a big love, from loving one person to loving everyone in the world, loving everything in the world, and loving the truth of the world."

Tang Seng was the one who presided over the water and land conference. If it comes to the subtlety of Buddhism and understanding of Buddhism, it will naturally be much better than Lin Yun.

If Lin Yun's golden body of Buddhism and Taoism is still there, he may still be able to argue against Tang Seng, but Lin Yun's purpose is not to argue, but to simply plant a seed, that's all.

at this time.A few monks came and said that the room had been cleaned, and they were invited to go to rest, so they stopped discussing.

At the second watch, Wukong woke up suddenly, either because of something happening tomorrow, or because of Lin Yun, he couldn't sleep.

At this time, Lin Yun also woke up. Of course, the reason why Lin Yun woke up was because there was a lot of movement in the distance.

They could only hear blowing and beating there, they got up quietly, flew in the air and looked, it turned out that there was a brightly lit place in the south.
