Chapter 2634: Jinping Mansion
"Master, for some reason, although I didn't kill a monster this time, my old grandson is more enjoyable than before!" On the way back, Monkey King asked thoughtfully.
"The Jiuling Yuansheng and Huang Shijing shouldn't have died in the first place, and they didn't do any evil. In the past, if they wanted to eat pigs and sheep, they had to spend money to buy them, and they couldn't keep money from the pig and sheep dealers. Such monsters should be cultivated to a positive result. Follow me today." It is a good thing for Taiyi to save Ku Tianzun and go to the Miaoyan Palace in the East, and you should feel happy." Shen Long said with a smile.
"Like the blue lion, white elephant, and golden-winged roc in the lion camel country, they have done a lot of evil and are too numerous to record. If they are allowed to become righteous, it will be unfair!" Hey, the yellow lion spirit in the picture is really pitiful, He didn't do any bad things, but was skinned and eaten. Wu Chengen's photo is really full of meaning.
Back in Yuhua County, return the rake and demon stick to Bajie and Drifting, and the three of them taught each of their weapons in the palace courtyard one by one; After a few days, the three princes have mastered all the exercises, and the other ways of attacking and retreating, and the methods of urgency and urgency, each has seventy-two solutions, and they all know it.
So everyone packed up their luggage and set off, and saw that inside and outside the city, no matter how big or small, there was no one who did not call himself an arhat coming to the world, the living Buddha descended to the world, the sound of drums and music, the color of flags, the streets were full of traffic, and every family was burning incense outside. , Putting colored lanterns in front of the door everywhere, and only returning when they came to Xu Yuan, all his four parties had to leave the west of the city.
Leaving Yuhua County, Shen Long thought to himself, these three princes have learned martial arts, after that Tianzhu Kingdom may be troubled, maybe they will make a big disturbance in Tianzhu in the future, I don't know whether it is good or bad.
Leaving Yuhua City, it took five or six days to go steadily all the way. I saw another city, and when I reached the Guandong Chamber, I saw the noise of teahouses and wine shops on both sides, and the lively rice market and oil houses. I walked through several alleys and did not reach the city Suddenly, there was a mountain gate with the word Ciyun Temple on it, so everyone went in to rest.
After entering the temple and reporting the history, all the monks were overjoyed, and then introduced to Shen Long, "I am in the foreign county of Tianzhu, which is also Jinping Mansion. It is two thousand miles from here to the capital. This is the place I have traveled through. Yes, go west to Lingshan, we haven't gone yet, I don't know how far we have to go." Then they invited them to stay after the Lantern Festival before leaving.
This Tianzhu country also celebrates the Lantern Festival? Also look at the lights? Shen Long secretly laughed in his heart, but he thought that the three rhinoceros spirits would come to steal sesame oil during the Lantern Festival, so he stayed.
During the Lantern Festival, Shen Long saw three golden lanterns on the Golden Lantern Bridge. The lanterns were as big as jars, and they illuminated exquisitely carved two-story pavilions, all of which were made of thin gold threads; Flakes, its light shines on the moon, and its oil is fragrant.
Shen Long asked the monks back, "What kind of oil is this lamp? Why is it so fragrant?"
The monks said, "Teacher, I don't know. There is a county behind my mansion called Mintian County. The county is 240 miles long. Every year, there are 240 large lamp oil households. Corvage is still available, but this big family is very tired. Each family needs to spend more than two hundred taels of silver for a year. This oil is not ordinary oil, but crispy sesame oil. Every tael of this oil is worth two taels of silver. A catty is worth thirty-two taels of silver, and three lamps are worth 500 catties each. The three pots are 1,500 catties in total, and the total silver is 48,000 taels. There are also miscellaneous payments for use, and there will be more than 50,000 Two, only three nights."
Shen Long couldn't help but click his tongue, "Such an expense is a little too much. I'm going to watch the lanterns during the Lantern Festival in the Tang Dynasty. I'm afraid I won't be able to spend so much money for sesame oil!" However, Emperor Sui Yang must have far exceeded this amount. But what happened to Emperor Sui Yang?
The monk was quite displeased when he heard the words, "This is used to worship the Buddha. Every year during the Lantern Festival, the Buddha will show up to enjoy the sesame oil."
Shen Long smiled and said nothing,
You recognize him as a Buddha, but you don’t know that it’s just a rhinoceros spirit. While talking, the wind whistled in the air, and three Buddha bodies appeared in the wind. Monkey King recognized them as monsters with his golden eyes.
The monster also saw Shen Long, and they were about to eat Tang Monk's meat, so they came to arrest Shen Long, Shen Long was worried about accidentally hurting the surrounding people, so he let them roll, Monkey King quickly followed after seeing this.
Flying to the northeast for a while, the three monsters led Shen Long and landed in front of a steep mountain. They turned around the cliff, and within a few miles, they saw a stone cliff by the side of the cliff, and a stone house under the cliff. The two stone gates are half open and half closed. There is a stone tablet beside the gate with six characters on it, which is Xuanying Cave in Qinglong Mountain.
The three rhino spirits walked into the cave while discussing how to fry Shen Long with sesame oil. Well, these three monsters have different tastes. Other monsters like to steam Tang Monk meat, so they insist on frying it with oil. .
Shen Long listened and said with a smile, "I have been exposed to the wind and the sun all the way, and I haven't bathed for many days, but it is not delicious. On the contrary, the rhino horn on this head is quite useful, why don't you give it to me!" Jiao is a good medicinal material, it can't be cheap Jiaomujiao and the others, keep two for Jinping's government to pay for the sesame oil, and I will take care of the rest.
The three monsters were furious when they heard the words, and immediately quarreled with Shen Long. After such a delay, they were blocked by Monkey King at the entrance of the cave. Monkey King fought into a group, and many mountain ox spirits, buffalo spirits, and yellow ox spirits ran out of the cave to cheer and cheer.
These three monsters are quite capable, but Shen Long will definitely not let Sun Wukong suffer, so he took out a gold rope and threw it over to tie up the three monsters. Monkey King looked at Shen Long with the golden cudgel, "Master!" , how should these three guys deal with it?"
"These three demons steal 50,000 taels of silver sesame oil every year, but they do a lot of damage. I don't know how many families were forced to ruin by them." How big is Jinping's mansion? The extra 50,000 taels of expenditure each year is a huge burden on the common people, "So I can't spare them, I wear nose rings and send them to Jinping Mansion, and let them pay for their sins!"
Sun Wukong did as ordered, and Shen Long asked him to pluck the hairs and turn them into saws to saw off the rhino horns and put them away. The certificate of exempting lamp oil in the future.
Sun Wukong abolished their demon law and let the three rhinoceros and the big and small bulls make atonement for the farmland of Jinping Mansion. After the matter was completely settled, he left Jinping Mansion and continued westward.
"Master, this Jinping Mansion has no annual expenses of 50,000 taels of silver, and there are so many more cattle, will life be easier in the future?" Sun Wukong asked.
Shen Long shook his head, "Maybe it's not. Rhino essence is probably not the only one who is greedy for such good sesame oil." Since the fake Buddha eats it, can the real Buddha not eat it? If you don't eat sesame oil, what is the Buddha and Bodhisattva doing?
