[Journey to the West] So I am Monk Tang

Anyway, after I instilled in the crown prince the idea that "truly virtuous monks don't care about the gold and silver industry, only fake monks and evil monks will value those", because I set an example, in the view of the crown prince, domestic monks develop power No matter how strong I am, I will never let the king share the country with him or even abdicate to the virtuous, but I actually refused such a temptation. I am indeed a genuine holy monk. In comparison, the monks in the country are a bit too greedy.

He even confessed his mistake to the king, "I used to think that being tolerant to those monks was a way of respecting the Buddha, but even the direct disciples of the Buddha live such a poor life, why can't those monks live?"

Then he suggested that instead of letting those monks who have property donate part of their belongings every year, they should just donate all of them, so that they can be regarded as pious.It can also be used as a standard to stop those who think that they can make a fortune by being a monk, and leave behind those who are truly dedicated to the Buddha.

I feel tired for the king, such a fool who always goes to extremes, wouldn't he be more moderate?

But how to teach his son is the king's business. After the policies and clauses here are almost formulated, I bid farewell.

Although I am used to wearing a vest, I occasionally complain that the existence of image baggage prevents me from letting myself go. However, when my vest was really lifted by the king, I missed the vest again.The king is a good king but that doesn't mean I feel good around him, I'm not at all comfortable being bathed in that 'I see through you' look.

When I offered my farewell, the Dauphin immediately agreed before the king could speak.If it wasn't for sure that he had a very high opinion of me, and we got along pretty well during this period of time, I would have thought that he could not wait to drive me away.

But the crown prince's words were sincere: "Our country is only a thousand miles away from the kingdom of Tianzhu. May the holy monk reach the Lingshan Mountain as soon as possible and complete his practice."

"Is it only a thousand miles away?" I was a little stunned, one thousand and eight thousand miles away, is there only a fraction left now?

Because I am a "good" monk who doesn't take money, none of the king and his son mentioned money when they saw off. They only prepared black clothes and shoes for us, and made dry food that can last for a long time and taste good.Most importantly, the king also gave me a map, which is the route his grandfather sent people to go to the West to learn scriptures.

"I also hope that the holy monk will have a safe journey and get the right result as soon as possible." The king looked at me with a lot of meaning.

"Borrow Your Majesty's auspicious words." Although I know this is definitely impossible.

In the past, Wu Wu and I went west by feeling, but now that we have a map, it is much more convenient.When there was a mountain blocking the road ahead, a detour was marked on the map. We walked along the path, bypassed the mountain, and arrived at a village.

Winter is here.

"Master, shall we rest here?" Brother Monkey asked me.

"Let's take a look first." I took a look around. There are poor households and rich households here, but I don't know what the villagers are like before I go out of the scope of France from the map.Destruction of France is now an immortal law. After knowing that the king and the crown prince had reached a settlement, the ministers of the court wrote a letter asking whether the country’s name should be changed. The king did not directly express his opinion, but asked the crown prince’s opinion. The crown prince directly refused and said no. To change, we should take this as a lesson, keep it as a lesson, and alert future generations, so as to avoid another monk disaster.

The policies formulated by the imperial court must have spread quickly throughout the country, and there must be no such thing as extermination of monks, but this village is a bit remote, and I am not sure what their attitude towards monks is.The experience in the village where Che Chiguo lived temporarily did not do me any real harm, but I definitely don't want to be betrayed again.

Fortunately, it turns out that I thought too much, this village is really remote, and they don't even know about the former exterminating monk.

Hearing that we were monks from the Eastern Tang Dynasty who came to the Western Paradise to learn Buddhist scriptures, the rich family in the village immediately invited us to his home and arranged a fast meal.This family is also a family of good deeds. The head of the family still has the light of merit, but the light of merit is a little dim, and it seems to be going through a trough.

We stayed at his house for three days, and after we got to know each other well, I asked him what worries he had.

When the family sighed, "In my life, I have no worries about food and clothing since I was born. My parents are loving. When I grow up, I marry a wife and have children. The husband and wife are loving and have both children. I should have no regrets, but I don't want to be unfilial. It's a sin."

It turned out that the second son of this family was smart and good-looking since he was a child. He was filial to his parents and loved his brothers and sisters. But who would have thought that when he reached the age of marriage, he would fall in love with a woman who overwhelmed his parents and relatives.Regardless of feudal superstition or not, of course the head of the family would not agree, so the second son went to get in the door.The head of the family was too angry, so he said that he wanted to sever the relationship, but after all, he was the son he had loved since childhood, so how could he be willing, but the son refused to compromise, saying that he would stand up on his own, so that his parents could rest assured.

This village is small and remote, and caravans traveling from north to south do not pass through here. It is very difficult to earn a family business.While the family members are pleased with their son's ambition, they feel sorry for him. Recently, they heard that their son went hunting with others, and they were naturally restless.It's a pity that when he knew, his son had already gone far away, and he couldn't even chase him.

When talking about this, the family's eyes lit up, "Holy Monk, you have a high level of knowledge, can you do the fortune telling, will my son's trip be auspicious?"

Bu Suan, I will resolve the sign, but this business has been useless for decades, so I don't know if it will be accurate.

But I thought about my current cultivation and thought I could give it a try.I live with this family, although I don't have to respond to every request, but no matter how big or small the karma is, it's better to owe less.

I asked the head family to prepare the wood, I worked in the room all night, made the signature and the scripture, and then let the head family draw a lot.

I thought that with the blessing of my luck, even if the signature was not auspicious, it would be auspicious, but I didn't expect that the one drawn by the family in the end was a lottery, which was auspicious.

This is a bit of a problem.

When the family probably noticed something bad from my face, even the voice was a little trembling, "Holy Monk——"

Suddenly there was a cry from outside, and immediately after, the wife of the family stumbled in and rushed in, "The head of the house! Something happened to the second son!"

The person who came to report was the second daughter-in-law who lived outside and was about to be admitted but hadn't come in yet. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, but her thinking was very clear, and she explained the cause and effect clearly.

The second daughter-in-law was originally the daughter of a hunter, but hunting in the mountains is too risky these days, and she is also because she is the only one left in the family.But she didn't learn the skills passed down from her family badly. Although she endured the rumors that her life was tough and her relatives were beaten, she managed to live a good life.This time, she was supposed to go into the mountains with her husband, but she suddenly felt unwell a few days before the trip, so her husband invited a doctor, and when he learned that she was pregnant, he was overjoyed immediately and asked his wife to stay at home , I went into the mountain by myself.

Unexpectedly, he never came back.

The second daughter-in-law had a good idea of ​​where her husband and the pedestrians were going, and after calculating the time, she felt that they shouldn't delay so long. She was not at ease, so she took a weapon and fully armed and walked along the route set before, but she couldn't find it. people, but found torn pieces of cloth with blood on them.

The second daughter-in-law immediately understood what had happened, so she came back from the mountain with her grief suppressed, and came to ask for help as soon as she came back.

After talking about all these things, the second daughter-in-law was dumbfounded.The family is in chaos, but people ignore her.

"Is the benefactor okay?" I asked a little bit impatiently.

The second daughter-in-law shook her head in a daze, "It turns out that I was really destined to kill my parents, but now I want to implicate the child in my womb who killed my father before it was born."

I looked at her, but I didn't think it was that bad, "The fate of a benefactor is bitter before sweet, and there may not be a turning point at this time..."

Before I could finish my sentence, the wife of the family who had gone and returned grabbed my sleeve, "Is what the holy monk said true?"

I sighed, "The life and death of Second Young Master is unknown at this time. If he goes to the underworld, I may not be able to do anything about it. As long as he is still alive, my apprentices are all supernatural. They should be able to find Second Young Master and protect him."

The wife and the second daughter-in-law bowed down together, "Pray for the mercy of the holy monk!"

When they found the master family members, the master family members were not very enthusiastic. After sending away his wife and second daughter-in-law, his voice was hoarse, "I know the holy monk's kind intentions, but my son may not have been injured by a ferocious beast."

"What do you mean by that?" I wondered.

"I know that the people who went into the mountain with him are all experts, and the wild beasts can't hurt them." The family member said, "Now they are all forbidden to return, and the only ones who harm them can be the monsters in the mountains."

"There are monsters in this mountain?" Because we walked around the mountain, we didn't notice it.

"We didn't know before, but we thought that the beasts in the mountains were more ferocious. Until more than ten years ago, the only son of an old woman in the village went up the mountain to collect firewood and never came back. A few days later, he gave the old mother a dream, saying that he was killed The monsters in the mountains caught food." The family member shook his head, "The old lady has only this one to rely on. These years, although there are people in the village who have rescued her and she is still alive, but... alas!"
