Journey to the West from Daqin

This is the first time the two teams have met!

Chapter 750

The car is late.

What Li Jue didn't expect was that the Journey to the West group and the scripture learning group would run into each other here.

It is estimated that no one in the entire Three Realms would have thought of it.

Because although the Journey to the West group and the Buddhist scriptures group both want to go to the West Heavenly Spirit Mountain, the routes they choose are quite different.

Journey to the West asks that Monkey King is taking a straight line, and because they are stronger, they cross the mountains and rivers at a faster speed, so they should arrive here earlier than the Buddhist scriptures group.

But not long ago, they made a long stay, so the Buddhist scriptures group came from behind, and they ran into each other in the capital of Chechi.

Although the directions and paths chosen by the two groups are quite different, there are certain points along the way.

Che Chiguo belongs to the place where the two groups must pass through. If they arrive earlier or later, they will not meet each other.

In fact, the scripture learning group had already arrived in Che Chi Country a few days ago, but their appearance caused riots in the entire Che Chi Country.

Then they were arrested by Che Chi's army. Although they were strong enough, they easily escaped and even wiped out the entire Che Chi country.

But they are a group of Buddhist scriptures, under the banner of Buddhism, along the way, apart from monsters, let alone ordinary people, even ants, they must be careful.

What's more, the whole country of Chechi, after Li Jue and Maitreya Buddha preached to them two or three years ago, is no longer an ignorant place.

There are also some cultivators in the capital, and even attracted many mountain spirits and tree monsters for this reason.

Therefore, the entire Che Chi Kingdom has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past two or three years. There are thousands of ordinary practitioners in it, and there are hundreds of powerful mountain spirits, tree monsters, ghosts and monsters.

Therefore, if Fahai Jigong and others in the scripture learning group dare to attack Che Chiguo, they will also anger these cultivators and monsters.

Although there are not many who can fight here, it will more or less cause them some trouble.

They themselves can't do anything to mortals, and there are practitioners in this country, who knows if there are gods behind them.

Therefore, facing the siege of Che Chi's army, the scripture learning group had no choice but to catch them without a fight.

When they planned to meet the king, they handed over the letter of state of Han, and then used it to cross the border.

This is the most common method of customs clearance. Along the way, as long as they pass through the land of mortals, even if they have difficulties, as long as they hand in the credentials, they can easily solve the problem and pass the customs easily.

This time they plan to do the same.

It's just that this time they were detained for three days. Not to mention the king of Che Chi, they didn't even see a senior official. They were put in shackles and worked hard in the execution ground for three days. .

It was also on this day that Monkey King and his party came to Che Chi Country, but the treatment they received was completely different from that of the scripture learning group.

As soon as they entered the territory of Chechi Kingdom, they were immediately invited away by the officials because their attire carried the imprint of Taoism. They were treated with delicious food and drinks along the way.

In the end, he was directly invited to the imperial palace of the capital.

If it was that simple, the two would not seem to meet each other, but things are so ingenious.

Among the scripture learning group that had been imprisoned for three days, the black bear spirit obviously couldn't sit still, so he found an opportunity to break free from the shackles and escape.

After inquiring after going out, it was only then that I realized that the entire Che Chi country was still a country without faith a few years ago.

But it wasn't until the two masters preached about Buddhism in the capital that they began to gradually believe in Taoism and abandon Buddhism.

At first, people from the Buddhist sect were not too repelled, but later, some men in the Chechi country shaved their hair and became monks, wanting to practice Buddhism, and for this reason they did not give birth, which aroused the anger of those in power.

Although Che Chiguo is far away from the Central Plains, there are people from the Central Plains who occupy high positions in it, so they are more or less influenced by the Central Plains.

It also happens that the people who come here believe in Confucianism and Taoism, and have always believed in Huang Lao's theory, as well as the words of their parents who are physically and mentally affected.

Therefore, those in power discovered that there were men who shaved their hair to become monks, abandoned their bodies, hair and skin, and did not give birth, and only cared about eating fast and reciting Buddha all day long.

In a fit of anger, they directly arrested all these monks. Under torture, some monks spoke more violently and contradicted the superior.

Therefore, the Shangguan was angered, and finally reported to the king of Chechi Kingdom. After the court meeting was held, all the officials discussed it, and finally agreed that Buddhism harmed the people.

Afterwards, the king of Chechi Kingdom personally issued an order, and with the approval of all officials, the army in the capital carried out the order to arrest all the monks in Chechi Kingdom and serve as slaves.

And sent down the words, no one is allowed to become a monk.

In the past two years, one after another, men saw through the red dust and continued to shave their hair to become monks. However, their actions only angered the people in power in Che Chi State even more.

Therefore, as long as Che Chiguo sees a bald man, regardless of whether he believes in Buddhism or not, he will arrest them all.

Jigong, Fahai and others are not only bareheaded, but also act like normal strangers.

Therefore, when they appeared in Chechi country, they were quickly reported by the residents, and finally they were arrested and escorted to the capital.

They have been serving as slaves these days, and they will not be let go until they abandon their Buddhist beliefs after their hair reaches their waists.

If this is the case, it will not make the black bear spirit angry. He believes in Buddhism and wants to rely on the big tree of Buddhism to become stronger.

But Che Chiguo's actions were only aimed at Buddhism, but he also looked at Taoism differently. As long as they are domestic Taoists, they are all superior to others.

And on the day after they were imprisoned for three days, King Chechi held an event for the birthday of the Immortal Emperor.

It is said that it is the anniversary of the day when Xiandi preached for Chechiguk, and it is set as the birthday of Xiandi.

Hosted by the king himself, he led the people of the whole country to kneel down, burn incense and pray, and pray for blessings from the immortal emperor.

However, King Chechi alone was not enough to hold this fairy emperor's birthday, so they invited all Taoist priests from all over the country to join in the grand event.

Therefore, Sun Wukong and others were regarded as honored guests.

The black bear spirit didn't know that Monkey King and others were coming, and they were also ordered not to use their spiritual thoughts and mana, and to practice in the world of mortals.

Therefore, he just knew that Che Chiguo treated the Taoists like gods, but he abandoned them like nothing to the Buddhists.

So the black bear went back to the prison, and told everything he saw to his master Jigong, his uncle Fahai, and his brothers.

Suffering this little grievance is naturally nothing, and suffering this little suffering is not worth mentioning to them.

However, Jigong and Fahai came to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures all the way to promote Buddhism, but now they abandon Buddhism here like grass, and they think it is more important to save the foolish people here.

Therefore, it is necessary to go to the Immortal Emperor's birthday. It is best to show some means and change the folk customs!

Chapter 750 The King Marries a Daughter, Bajie Marries

"It seems that we have to take action to improve the folk customs, and let the world know that our authentic Buddhism is the one that benefits all beings."

Fahai clasped his hands together, his face was solemn.

Although he is taciturn on weekdays, he is very obedient to Buddhism.

Ji Gong also nodded. Although he was cynical and seemed disrespectful to Buddhism, he actually admired Buddhism the most in his heart.

It would be fine if Che Chi State didn't like Buddhism, but he treated the Buddhists in Che Chi State's borders like nothing, and treated the Taoists like honored guests.

This kind of differential treatment has violated his bottom line, so he has to pay attention to it, and Che Chiguo must improve this atmosphere.

Black Bear Spirit and Sha Wujing naturally had the same idea.

Besides these few, there was another nun beside them. If Li Jue was here, he would definitely recognize this nun. It was the bone spirit he had seen under the White Tiger Mountain back then.

I just don’t know why the White Bone Essence has been converted by Buddhism and has become a member of Buddhism. Now, as a nun, she follows Jigong Fahai and others to learn scriptures in the west.

At this time, the bone spirit already had a resounding Buddhist name, named Bailian Bodhisattva.

She belongs to those who have not completed the study of the Western Paradise, but already have the title of Buddhist Bodhisattva, and her strength is also the most powerful among the people present.

When he first debuted, he was already at the level of Da Luo Jinxian, and now he has the cultivation base of the middle level of Da Luo Jinxian.

Jigong and Fahai have also gathered boundless beliefs along the way, and Buddhism has cultivated them, and given them a lot of support along the way, making them grow to adulthood in just a few years. Luo Jinxian's lower realm.

There are already three Daluo Jinxians in the scripture learning group, and the black bear spirit also has the cultivation base of the upper Taiyi Jinxian. Only Sha Wujing's cultivation base is slightly weaker, but he has also advanced to the lower Taiyi Jinxian by leaps and bounds.

Originally, based on their merits, I am afraid that even if they reached the Western Heaven Spirit Mountain, they would not have such a profound and profound cultivation base.

But today is different from the past. When the Buddhists discovered that the strength of the people from Journey to the West was improving by leaps and bounds. After Li Jue preached to them all the time, the Buddhists couldn't sit still.

It is to start to give them a lot of help in the open and in the dark, and give them all kinds of supportive medicine and Buddhism without money.

In addition, their deeds of promoting Buddhism along the way were passed back to the big man through the mouths of some businessmen and passers-by. More and more people believed in them in the world, and their incense beliefs became stronger and stronger.

In this way, their strength has naturally improved by leaps and bounds, and it is reasonable to reach their current achievements.

"Master, if that's the case, why don't we show up together on the occasion of the Immortal Emperor's birthday tonight, and show miracles, so that all living beings in the world can see the glory of my Buddhism, and abandon Taoism to practice Buddhism."

The White Lotus Bodhisattva, also known as the Bone Demon, had a holy face at this time, wearing white clothes all over his body, making suggestions.

She has already entered the sect of Buddhism, and she has come to Jigong's sect, so she calls Jigong her master.

Jigong nodded, and the group of people silently waited for the time to come.

The night came soon, and Monkey King and his party were already in the capital of Chechi, and they were treated like honored guests.

When they revealed their identities, saying that they came from the Great Qin Empire in the East and were ordered to go to the West to preach, they were received by the king and queen in person.

Now in the courtyard of the palace, I am having fun with the king, queen and princes and princesses.

Zhu Bajie and his party were already hungry, and they had been trekking all the way, and they were not as relaxed as they are today.

Now they have indeed received the most honorable offerings, entertained with good wine and good food, and ate big fish and meat, which made them extremely excited and pleasantly surprised.

Zhu Bajie's eyes still swept around the many singing and dancing court ladies, and finally locked his eyes on a princess who was as beautiful as a fairy.

He and Jin Chanzi had a lot of discussions in private, "Little brother, that princess is as beautiful as a fairy, if you return to the Great Qin Empire after traveling to the west and become your prince, you can consider marrying her."

Jin Chanzi shook his head directly. Although he was still a perfect body, he could tell at a glance that the princess was no longer a girl.

"Second senior brother has seen countless people, can't you tell that the princess is already married, how can you be so rude?"

After a closer look, Zhu Bajie found out the clues, but he felt guilty and no longer wanted to discuss this matter.

Unexpectedly, King Che Chi has been talking with them all the time, so he naturally noticed the eyes of Zhu Bajie and Jin Chanzi, and they often lingered on their princess Bai Huaxuan.

The king stood up, brought the wine glasses to Zhu Bajie and Jin Chanzi, and made a toast.

The two stood up quickly and returned the salute respectfully.

The king gulped it all down, and then laughed, "You two, one of you is the god prince of the Great Qin Empire, and the other is a king with a different surname in the Great Qin Empire. You are not yet married, and my daughter is also waiting in your boudoir. Come on, you can marry and go home."

Zhu Bajie's eyes sparkled, while Existence was dumbfounded.

"Old king, are you serious?" Zhu Bajie grabbed the king's arm and asked with surprise in his eyes.

When the king saw Zhu Bajie, he was fat and big-eared, so he didn't like his appearance, but Zhu Bajie's origin made him very happy.
