533, Enter Chenjiazhuang

The writing on the scriptures was written by a special method. Once it encounters magic power, it will melt. Therefore, it needs to be dried in the sun. It is not realistic to dry it with magic power.

Of course, it is not impossible, but there are hundreds of volumes of scriptures. It takes time and effort to accurately control the magic power to dry them. It is not as simple as drying them directly.

Tang Seng wanted to refuse, but when he thought about his life experience, he agreed.

The four masters and apprentices began to uncover the scriptures drying on the bluestone on the shore.

Seeing this, Bai Gui also stepped forward to help.

However, what he did not expect was that the bluestone stuck to several volumes of Buddhist scriptures, and a slight pull actually tore it apart. The Sanskrit on several pages of scriptures immediately disappeared and turned into a wordless scripture.

Some scriptures were left on the bluestone.

Tang Seng regretted and recited the scriptures to repent.

Not to mention that this Buddhist scripture was given by the Tathagata, he went through 81 difficulties and suffered endless hardships before he obtained the true scriptures. Now that several volumes of Buddhist scriptures are incomplete, how can he not regret it at all. Not to mention that he believed that this Buddhist scripture was a panacea to solve the disasters of the people in the Southern Continent.

"There are fifty great ways, forty-nine of which are derived from heaven, and one of which is escaped by man. The few pages of scriptures left on this bluestone are in line with the way of heaven. Master Xuanzang, you don't have to worry too much."

Bai Gui advised.

This monk can sit in meditation and chant scriptures when he repents. Chanting for half an hour is considered short. If it is long, such as this "blasphemous" act, it is not impossible to chant the confession sutra for several days and nights.

He had to advise him both emotionally and rationally. He didn't want to stay here alone. If he hadn't traveled with Tang Seng, it would be fine, but now that he was traveling with him, it would be difficult to abandon him.

Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are three religions in one. Although Tang Seng is a monk, he is also a Taoist. His expression eased a little. After thinking for a while, he realized that the reason why the scripture was broken in this way was indeed because of its Zen. "Master Bai is right. This bluestone will be left here for the destined person."

Every volume of Buddhist scriptures has the key to practice. The pages of scriptures imprinted on this bluestone are just so-so for immortals and gods, but they are different for ordinary creatures. Listening carefully, it seems that there is a monk chanting scriptures and teaching Taoism in this bluestone scripture.

"This is the wonder of Mahayana."

Sun Wukong is well versed in Buddha nature and laughed.

"Several elders, and Taoist priest, it's getting dark. If we don't leave now, it will be too late." The fisherman urged him. He was still fishing. The fish lacked water and could not stay on the shore for a long time.

After putting the scriptures into the box, several people followed the fisherman into Chenjiazhuang.

Before entering Chenjiazhuang, when they were several miles away from the village, some villagers outside the village saw Tang Seng and his party. They had a strange appearance that they would never forget for the rest of their lives, so they hurried into the village to tell the villagers. Therefore, when they arrived at the entrance of the village, the village elders, rich families, and some people set up incense tables and rushed forward to welcome them.

The rich family Chen Qing thanked Tang Seng for saving his daughter before, so he set up a vegetarian meal to entertain him.

"Donor, I don't want to eat it."

Tang Seng waved his hand to refuse.

He had shed his flesh and became a ghost. Although he could eat again, eating would pollute the Buddha's body. Moreover, without a flesh body, he had no appetite.

If he ate now, he could only eat at the immortal banquet.

It is not an empty saying that gods live long by eating air. This immortal banquet, the immortals with flesh bodies, will feel delicious. The gods without flesh bodies will also feel happy physically and mentally by eating air.

"This pig elder, why don't you eat?"

It's understandable that Tang Seng doesn't eat. After all, Tang Seng is a pure-hearted person, and everyone in Chenjiazhuang knows it, but Zhu Bajie is not a person who abstains from sex. After helping Chenjiazhuang last time, he wanted to eat and drink non-stop. However, today a feast was prepared, but Zhu Bajie didn't eat.

A very strange thing.

"I don't know why, my spleen and stomach are a little weak for a while." Zhu Bajie made a casual excuse.

He washed his Taoist body at Lingyundu. Although he was still a pig fetus and couldn't purify his body, he was much stronger than before. It would be bad to eat mortal food at this time, which would delay his Taoism.

Sun Wukong has always only eaten wild fruits and not vegetarian meals.

As for Sha Seng, he can be omitted.

"This Taoist..."

The village elder looked embarrassed and asked Bai Guidao for instructions.

Tang Seng and his four disciples refused to eat. The good vegetarian meal was not eaten. It was inevitable that Chenjiazhuang would lose face and waste the favor of Chenjiazhuang...

This was very inappropriate!

Bai Gui knew the reason of Tang Seng and his four disciples, nodded, took a bowl of plain noodles, and ate it slowly.

He was a celestial being with perfect merits. This little mortal thing could not harm his body.

"I wonder where you come from?"

The village elder breathed a sigh of relief, put on a smile, and asked.

It was inevitable that they would feel a little embarrassed if their benefactor did not eat the vegetarian meal they prepared. But Bai Gui ate it. Although he was not their benefactor, he was also a guest. This welcoming ceremony was also complete.

He saw that Bai Gui was dressed like a Taoist priest, and he knew at a glance that he was not a monk going to the West to obtain scriptures.

"I came from the Tang Dynasty in the East. I have an old relationship with Elder Tang. After being a guest in Lingshan, I returned to the Southern Continent with Elder Tang." Bai Gui briefly introduced a few sentences.

But when these words fell into the ears of the people in Chenjiazhuang, they were shocked and could not stop for a long time.

What kind of Taoist priest could be a guest in Lingshan.

While the group was talking, they had already arrived at the home of Chen Qing, a wealthy man in Chenjiazhuang. Chen Qing was the richest man in Chenjiazhuang and could provide accommodation for several people.

"Village elder, I want to ask you something."

After the villagers dispersed, Tang Seng asked the village elder to stay, and then said: "Thirty-two years ago, was there a baby lost in your village..."

He searched the few memories of Jiang Liuer and asked one by one.

"It's a pity that there is this child. At that time, the Inspiration King had just come to Tongtian River and asked us to offer sacrifices. It was not this child. His family was poor... so he had no choice but to give up the child and throw it in the wooden basin. "

The old man replied.

His words were sincere, but the unfamiliarity in his voice made people shudder.

The clothes are simple and old-fashioned.

If the King of Inspiration asked the Chen family to sacrifice boys and girls, the first ones to be sacrificed would not be the children of the rich family, but the children of the poor family.

"Later, the child's parents jumped into the river and died!"

The village elder briefly told the ending.

After finishing speaking, he was stunned for a moment and looked at Tang Seng, "Elder Tang asked this little old man, but what's the important matter?"

When he said this, he felt that there must be something secret here.

But he didn't think that Tang Seng was the first baby abandoned by the whole village.

One is in Xiniuhezhou and the other is in Nanzhanbuzhou. The Tongtian River does not lead to the Tang Dynasty in Nanzhan Buzhou and Dongtu. No matter how you think about it, this Tang Monk has nothing to do with that baby.

"Amitabha."

Tang Monk twisted his beads and said the Buddha's name.

The village elder was confused and saw that Tang Seng didn't want to answer and just closed his eyes, so he bowed and left.

"Master, retaliation for retaliation. The Chen Family Village abandoned you back then. It's fitting that they almost lost their descendants and were eaten up by the King of Inspiration!"

Sun Wukong sneered.

He held the golden cudgel and thought it was ridiculous. In the Tongtian River disaster, I didn't expect that the people who were saved were all cannibal monsters. When the Inspiration King was still here, he teased Chen Qing and asked Chen Qing to give up his family wealth and buy other people's children to die. But when this happened to Tang Seng, he suddenly felt a lot sad.

"Amitabha, the great king of inspiration came because of the poor monk, and also left because of the poor monk. After all, it was the poor monk who implicated the people of Chenjiazhuang, no wonder them. With children in front of you, how could you give up your own flesh and blood to give to that inspiration? King."

Tang Seng was silent for a while and then said.

Now that he has given up his physical body, he has lost all the family ties of flesh and blood in this life. In addition, as he said, the disaster of Chenjiazhuang was caused by him, and after all, it had a lot to do with him. Everyone in Chenjiazhuang suffered an unreasonable disaster.

As for why the Inspiration King wanted to have his own flesh and blood after that, I'm afraid it has something to do with it.

Tang Seng does not want revenge, and everyone will not take matters into his own hands.

Tang Monk was also kind-hearted. Although the Buddha forbade killing, he did not necessarily allow others to bully him without retaliating. If you really want to kill someone, you don’t have to do it yourself. Just make some calculations and let others kill for him.

Chen Yuanwai's home is luxurious and has many houses.

Bai Gui lived alone in a wing room and meditated at night.

"Fellow Taoist Bai, you came to Tongtian River, why don't you say hello to me." Just as Bai Gui was adjusting his breath, there was a sound in his ears, and then a Taoist stood outside the door.

"Friend Ruyi."

Bai Gui opened his eyes, left the wing in an instant, and bowed his head.

The two exchanged greetings.

"The old white turtle of Tongtian River has something to do with me. After he shook off the pilgrim, he was worried about the monkey head's revenge, so he hid in my Jie Yang Mountain."

Ruyi Zhenxian explained.

The Daughter Kingdom is not far from Tongtian River, and the two are close to each other. As a great demon, Old Bai Yuan and the great demon Ruyi Zhenxian have interactions with each other, which is normal.

"So that's why."

Bai Gui nodded, "The poor Taoist is accompanying the Buddhist scripture collector. The Buddhist scripture collector once had a quarrel with you, and let the red boy go to Guanyin Bodhisattva to be a good boy... It's not easy for the poor Taoist to go over and say hello."

"What does this have to do with each other? One thing is the same thing and it cannot be generalized."

Immortal Ruyi laughed a few times and said smoothly.

He didn't mind this. For example, Sun Wukong and Heping Tian were not sworn brothers. Although there is a rift between the Buddhist scripture seekers and the Great Sage Tian, ​​it is not a deep hatred, not to the point of life and death. Moreover, we have friends all over the world. If we really break off the relationship because of this, then everyone will look like enemies.

"Fellow Taoist Ruyi came to see me, why?"

After a few pleasantries, Bai Gui asked.

Although he had friendship with True Immortal Ruyi, they were only casual acquaintances. However, Chechisanyao and Ruyi Zhenxian have a good relationship.

"Fellow Taoist, you are an official of heaven..."

Immortal Ruyi pondered for a moment, "To be honest with you fellow Taoist, my sister-in-law and eldest brother got into trouble because of the Red Boy incident, and now no one cares about the other. Mothers always think about their own children. But Red Boy is here Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is a good-luck boy, and my sister-in-law has no relatives or friends, so it’s not good for her to come and visit..."

It's a simple thing. Although the Pingtian Great Sacred Bull Demon King is not small in appearance, in the end it is just a demon clan force that is outside the jurisdiction of the heaven. It seems huge, but this is only for the demons without heels. In the eyes of immortal gods, there is not much difference between Pingtian Great Sacred Bull Demon King and ordinary casual cultivators.

In addition, Princess Iron Fan and the Bull Demon King are at odds with each other, so it will definitely be difficult for them to rely on the Bull Demon King's power. And her background is just a princess of the Rakshasa Kingdom...

"This matter..., it doesn't matter. Fellow Taoist Tie Fan once entertained Pindao. It was just a trivial matter. Pindao has no reason not to agree. I just don't know where Fellow Taoist Tie Fan is?"

Bai Gui frowned a little and replied.

When a mother sees her son, Guanyin Bodhisattva will definitely let Princess Iron Fan see him. He guessed that Princess Iron Fan's purpose was more than that. She wanted to ask Guanyin Bodhisattva for a pass token, or to ask Bai Gui to be a lobbyist, so that mother and son could meet at a fixed time, such as once a year, or once a month. See this once.

Before seeing an official, one's courage will be reduced to timidity.

What's more, it is one of the four great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism like Guanyin Bodhisattva.

The gap is too big.

Just like in a county, if a family member commits a crime and is imprisoned, he will never go to the county magistrate himself to tell the truth. Instead, he will ask the county magistrate, the officials of the sixth house, etc. The person who met him went to the county magistrate to be a lobbyist.

The reason why big demons like True Immortal Ruyi and Princess Iron Fan made friends with Bai Gui before he became famous is because of this kind of thing. Officials protect each other, and only officials can talk to each other.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, my sister-in-law is waiting by the Tongtian River."

Immortal Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that his friendship with Bai Gui, a heavenly official, was not in vain.

After that, he stepped forward to lead the way.

Both of them had strong cultivation, and they reached the bank of Tongtian River in a blink of an eye.

Princess Iron Fan's face was covered with white gauze, making her look more delicate and pitiful than before. When she saw Bai Gui, she also regained her former arrogance. She bowed Yingying and said, "I have met Taoist Bai, please leave me with this matter." Mr. Bai, if you can succeed, I will never be able to repay you even if I sacrifice my life."

Immortal Ruyi didn't hear the hidden meaning of the words, and just thought that his sister-in-law was in a hurry and said something in a panic. Besides, these words of thanks are quite normal. It's just that the promise made was a bit heavy.

"There is no need to worry, princess."

Bai Gui coughed slightly, "The princess entertained Pindao for three days last time. Besides, the red boy also called Pindao his uncle. Because of his love and reason, Pindao should also lend a helping hand."

After hearing this, Princess Iron Fan nodded lightly. She looked at True Immortal Ruyi and said, "Uncle, it's enough to have fellow Taoist Bai here. You are busy with work. When that guy sees me begging you, he will definitely laugh at me secretly..."

That guy, Ruyi Zhenxian knew that his sister-in-law should be referring to his brother.

Also, it was inappropriate for Princess Iron Fan to beg him for help after she had a quarrel with her brother. Besides, it was really not good for his brother to know about this.

"That being the case..."

Immortal Ruyi sighed, and bowed her hand to Bai Gui, "I would like to ask fellow Taoist Bai to help my sister-in-law. I will leave for now, so you two can discuss it well."

"This is the right thing to do."

Bai Gui returned the gift and said.

As soon as Ruyi Zhenxian finished speaking, he stepped on the auspicious clouds and headed towards Jieyang Mountain, and soon his figure disappeared.

"There is no one in the Tongtian River Water Palace for the time being. Old Bai Yu has left. Taoist Master Bai, can you and I go inside to discuss it?"

Princess Iron Fan said with slightly red apricot eyes.

"Can."

Bai Gui nodded.

Beside the Tongtian River, although there is no one there, there is wind. If there are immortals and gods with good ears and ears, they can understand the content of their conversation. In the water palace, restrictions are set up to isolate others from hearing and seeing.
