Journey to the West I am just a river god

At this time, Tang Seng became sleepy again, so he fell on the scripture table and took a nap for a while.

But even though he closed his eyes and took a nap, he still knew in his heart, listening to the wind blowing outside the window.

Don't wake up that Tang Priest in a faint dream, and heard outside the meditation hall faintly calling "Master!"

Suddenly he looked up, and there was a man standing outside the door, his whole body was dripping with water, his eyes were filled with tears, and he couldn't stop calling: "Master! Master!"

Sanzang leaned forward and said, "You must not be some kind of spooky monster, ghost or demon, come here to look for me in the middle of the night? But I am not a greedy, greedy and angry person. I am an upright monk. Tang Zhiyi, I went to the west to worship Buddha and ask for leadership. I have four disciples under my command. They are all heroes who subdue dragons and subdue tigers. Dust. I advise you to run quickly!"

The man said: "Master, I'm not a monster, nor a sprite."

"Yes, master, he is not a simple monster." Lin Yun's voice came.

"Lin Yun, you're here!" Seeing Lin Yun coming, Tang Seng felt at ease.

Only then did he have the heart to look at the people outside the door, and saw that he was wearing a sky-rocketing crown, a jasper belt around his waist, an ocher yellow robe, carefree shoes on his feet, and a white jade kui in his hand.

It is the dress of a king.

Chapter 2 Interesting Things, Quiet Mimi

Tang Seng was also surprised when he saw it. He bowed and said, "Which dynasty are you His Majesty? Please sit down."

After speaking, Tang Sengbiao wanted to go forward to help him with his hands, but he went straight through.

After turning around and sitting still, he looked over again, but it was still the same person.

"Master, don't disturb, he is just a dead soul, so you can't touch his body."

"I see."

Tang Seng asked again: "Your Majesty, are you the king there?"

"Hey!" The king sighed deeply, recalled it for a while, and then began to narrate.

"Master, my family lives in Zhengxi, only forty miles away from here. There is a city on the other side, which is where Xingji is located."

"What's it called?"

"To tell you the truth, Master, it was I who founded the country at that time, and it was called the Wuji country."

Here, the countries are relatively small, most of them have appeared in the form of city-states, and the number is large, but the national strength is not enough, and it is completely incomparable with Datang.

Seeing the king's pity, Tang Seng asked again: "Your Majesty is so panic-stricken and lamented, what's the matter?"

The desolate king took two steps forward, and began to talk about his story: "Master, five years ago, there was a drought in my place, the grass didn't grow, and the people died of hunger. It's very pitiful."

"The ancients said that the country is upright and the heart is smooth. It must be that you don't care about the people. Since there is a famine, why did you come here? You should open a warehouse to relieve the victims; repent of your past mistakes, accumulate good deeds, and forgive those who perverted the law." Injustice, amnesty to the world. Only in this way can the weather be smooth and the country's fortune will be prosperous."

Or not to mention that it will not be the high-level people from the lobby, who are still very clear about the theory of governing the country.

In fact, this is also a very subtle summary. Most of the historical famines were basically solved by the emperors in this way.

Of course, there are many other means such as work-for-relief, digging ditches, etc. These are the basic directions that Tang Seng said.

Of course things are not that simple.

"The eminent monk is right, the widow also knows about it, and the ministers of the court often have such memorials, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Our country's middle storehouses are empty, money and food are exhausted, and the salaries of the civil and military ministers cannot be distributed. Meals for the widow and the harem There is no meat or fish. I even follow the example of King Yu to control the water and share the hardships with all the people. I also bathe and fast, burn incense and pray day and night, but after three years of this, the river and the well are still dry."

"Then what happened afterwards?" Tang Seng asked when he heard the danger.

"Master, listen to me. At a critical moment, a true Taoist priest suddenly came from Zhongnan Mountain. He can call wind and rain, and he can turn stones into gold. First he met with civil and military officials, and then he came to see widows, widows. A dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor, so I immediately asked him to go up to the altar to pray for rain. I didn't have much hope, but to my surprise, when the Taoist token sounded, it rained heavily in an instant. The widow said that only three feet of rain would be enough. The Taoist also understands the farmer's affairs, saying that the long drought can't moisten it, and it has grown two inches. The widow saw that he was so righteous, so he became an acquaintance with him eight times, and called him a brother."

"And after that?" If the story ends here, the king probably won't be seen tonight.

"The widow sleeps with him and eats together. It has only been two years, and it is another spring when the flowers bloom, red apricots and green willows, and every family goes out to enjoy the spring. On that day, I and the Quanzhen Taoist priest Walking hand in hand, we arrived at the imperial garden, and before we knew it, we came to the octagonal glazed well, and I don’t know what treasure he left behind to make thousands of golden lights shoot out from the well.”

"And then?" Tang Seng was obviously interested when he heard this.

"He coaxed the widow to go to the well to see what kind of treasure it was, but suddenly became vicious, and pushed the widow into the well, then covered the mouth of the well with a stone slab, moved the soil, and planted a plantain on it. Pity me Ah, I've been dead for three years, and now I'm just a wronged ghost who fell into a well!"

Tang Seng had listened with great interest before, but this person said that he was a ghost, which frightened Tang Seng, but he couldn't get off the tiger, but he could only continue to say: "Your Majesty, there is indeed something wrong with what you said. You haven't seen him for three years. Baiguan, didn't the harem beauties look for you?"

"It must be that Taoist Quanzhen changed his appearance." Lin Yun interjected, but remembered an interesting saying.

This Quanzhen Taoist is actually a lion sent by Manjusri Bodhisattva who was imprisoned by a eunuch. His task is to imprison the king for three years to avenge the Bodhisattva himself.

The eunuch's lion is not a mortal, but the first immortal of Jiejiao Qiu, an ancient alien beast, the green-haired lion, who obtained the Tao, under the master of Jiejiao Tongtian, who was in charge of the Taiji formation at the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation, and was broken by Manjusri Guangfa with a Pangu banner, And was beaten back to its original shape by the Antarctic fairy, and later became the mount of Manjusri.

During the Journey to the West, he went down to earth twice, once as a fake king in the Wuji Kingdom, and once as a great king in Shituoling.

There are quite a few scenes, but it also shows from the side that the power of Manjusri Bodhisattva is really not good, and there are too few people who can use it.

Closer to home, but the lion probably changed his mind because he was eunuched, and then ate and lived with the king in the first two years, and gained the long-lost feeling of being respected and valued.

To be more elegant, this kind of saying is called the Queen of Longyang.

Of course, it is also possible that he was eunuched and didn't touch those concubines, but instead of doing anything wrong in the past three years, he is proficient in government affairs, and he also attaches great importance to the cultivation of the prince.

This is very telling, obviously, this is just to complete the task.

After hearing what Lin Yun said, the king continued: "This little master is right. Speaking of the monster's ability, it is really rare in the world. Ever since he killed the widow, he changed into a widow in the garden. There is no difference in appearance. Now that he has taken over my country, he has secretly invaded my country, and he has taken all my civil and military officials, the empress of the Three Palaces, and the concubines of the Six Courts, hey!"

However, Tang Seng really didn't care much about the ability of this monster. After all, several of his apprentices knew the book of changes, and it was not uncommon for him to see the wind and rain, so he said, "Your Majesty, you are indeed too cowardly."

"How to say?"

"Your Majesty, even if that monster has some supernatural powers, it can change into your appearance and occupy your universe. Officials and concubines can't understand it. Only you, a dead person, can understand all this. Then why don't you sue him in the underworld? Tell all your grievances, and let King Yama decide for you?"

I saw the king sighed deeply again: "Oh, but he has great supernatural powers and knows many people. The city god of the capital often drinks with him, and the sea dragon king is also related to him. It's his half-brother. Therefore, I have nowhere to complain."

Hearing this, Tang Seng also frowned, and said again: "Your Majesty, there are so many places where there is no place to sue. What's the use of you coming to me?"

"Master, you really wronged me. How dare I come to your door with this little soul? In front of the mountain gate, there are the guardians of the heavens, six Ding Liujia, five Fang Jiedi, four valued meritorious Cao, ten The eight guardians are on guard at any time. But just now, Ye Youshen sent me in with a gust of wind. He said that I should be full of floods for three years, and let me come to pay homage to the master. He also said that you have two apprentices One is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the other is the God of Tongtian River, both of whom can slay monsters and subdue demons. The purpose of my visit today is to capture that monster, and I will definitely use a straw ring to repay my teacher's kindness!"

After listening to Lin Yun, he could only express that it was very interesting. The background of this lion is not bad, and this night wandering god is also very interesting.

"I know about you." Lin Yun nodded and accepted the matter.

Afterwards, Lin Yun waved his hand slightly, and the faint spiritual power dissipated, but he called Wukong, the Bajie Sand Monk, over.

"What's wrong with Lin Yun? He called us here at night, hey, who is this ghost? It's a bit strange that it can appear here. What is the guardian Jialan doing outside?" Husband was the first to come Seeing this situation a little strange, he opened his mouth to ask a series of questions.

"Haha, Great Sage, don't be impatient, wait for those two idiots to come, let's talk together."

After a while, Bajie and Drifting came to Shanshan.
