At this moment, even Guanyin Bodhisattva, who had been hiding in the dark and peeking, was stunned.
What's the situation now?
¡°Shouldn¡¯t Tang Sanzang speak out for these driven monks? Those are all your colleagues!
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva felt a little outrageous and looked crazy.
"Why doesn't Tang Sanzang pay attention to the enslavement of those monks until now? This is your disaster!"
"Wait, what is he doing again?"
And Chu Hao silently hid in the darkness behind Guanyin Bodhisattva, quietly watching Guanyin Bodhisattva go crazy.
Chu Hao¡¯s task today is to wait for the wind, nothing else.
At this moment, outside Chechi, Tang Sanzang looked at the monks pulling carts all over the mountain, chatting and laughing with Taoist Xuanyuan.
Speaking of rising, Tang Sanzang did not hide it at all, he directly took out the good wine he had collected,
"Come, if the Taoist priest is not in a hurry, the poor monk has something to discuss with the Taoist priest. Let's chat while we drink."
Taoist Priest Xuanyuan looked confused, looking at Tang Sanzang taking out the drink very comfortably,
"This master, you"
Tang Sanzang came to his senses in shock.
"Sin, sin, sin"
Taoist Master Xuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, had Tang Sanzang remembered that he was a monk? How can any monk be so foolish as to be confused about his life?
However, Tang Sanzang smiled and put away the wine, but he took out a big pig knuckle with his backhand and handed it to the Taoist priest.
"It turns out that the Taoist priest doesn't drink, but the poor monk is being arrogant. Let's have some barbecue. I brought it from the Heishui River. It's delicious."
Taoist Xuanyuan felt his head was buzzing.
"Wait a minute, master, don't you abide by the Eight Precepts? Is it really good to eat meat and drink alcohol?"
Zhu Bajie on the side jumped out, but said with an upright face:
"My eight Buddhist precepts are to forbid others to control my drinking, to forbid others to control me for eating meat, to forbid others to curse, and to forbid others to kill people This is the correct rule of Buddhism, and everyone in the world is wrong!"
Tang Sanzang also nodded slightly,
"My four masters and disciples all practice advanced Buddhism and have flexible moral bottom lines. When walking in the world, my Buddhist sect has strict rules, which are very reasonable!"
"Buddhism should be for the benefit of all people in the world. It can never be used to protect oneself, or even be an excuse to avoid corvee. Buddhism must also be based on the country to be qualified to survive in this world."
When the Taoist priest heard about this Buddhist attainment, his eyes lit up and he was amazed, why couldn't he, a Taoist priest, be as open-minded as this monk?
Immediately, the Taoist priest and Tang Sanzang put their arms around each other, drank and talked happily, feeling extremely emotional.
"I didn't expect that Master's Buddhist teachings would be so advanced. He is indeed different from those rotten monks who bully others. Master, just ask if you want to know anything. I know that I will tell you everything!"
Tang Sanzang then pointed at the driven monks and asked:
"The poor monk came all the way. Many countries are controlled by monks. What is the situation in Chechi country now? How can it be so enlightened and know how to put the people first?"
When Taoist Master Xuanyuan heard this, he nodded slightly and said:
"You come from afar and don't know the affairs of our country. In my city, let alone the civil and military officials who love the Tao, the rich people and the elders love the virtuous. The first priority is the long live king who loves the Tao and loves the virtuous."
Tang Sanzang shook his head repeatedly.
"A poor monk does not care about Buddhism or Taoism, as long as he can help people live a good life, it is a good teaching."
"I just don't know why you would respect the Tao and destroy the monks?"
When Taoist Master Xuanyuan heard what Tang Sanzang said, he nodded in agreement.
"Master is indeed a man of great wisdom. Indeed, regardless of Buddhism, the original intention should be to let all people live a good life. Those monks deserve what they deserve."
"Just because twenty years ago, the people were suffering from severe drought, there was no rain from the sky, and there was no seedlings on the ground. Regardless of whether they were kings, ministers, or common people, big or small, every family bathed and burned incense, and every household worshiped Buddha and prayed for rain. But the monk prayed for twenty years, and nothing happened. It won't rain!
"Moreover, the monk asked the court for food and salary, and the national treasury was emptied. It was untold misery. Who knew that the monk was useless, chanting empty scriptures, and could not help. "
Tang Sanzang frowned and murmured:
"Such a hateful method again!"
It¡¯s not like Tang Sanzang has never seen the country being coerced by the Western Heavens before. Twenty years of drought, this is obviously not a natural disaster, it is definitely a man-made disaster!
Taoist priest Xuanyuan did not comment, but said:
"Chechi, the people's livelihood is withering, and the people are suffering. They are hanging upside down and dying. Suddenly, the skyThree immortals came down and prayed for rain successfully. Heavy rain came as soon as it came, relieving the drought and saving lives. "
When Tang Sanzang heard this, he couldn't help stroking his hands and said:
"Okay, okay, this is the magical effect of cultivating the law. Asking for life for the people, it's good, it's good!"
"Don't you know the names of the three immortals? If you are destined to meet them, you should pay them a visit."
Taoist Priest Xuanyuan¡¯s face was filled with a proud smile,
"My first master is called the Great Immortal of Tiger Power; my second master is the Great Immortal of Deer Power; my third master is the Great Immortal of Sheep Power."
"My master can call upon the wind and rain with just a flip of his hand, turn water into oil, turn stones into gold, and it's as easy as turning around. That's why he has such magical power, he can take away the creation of heaven and earth, and change the mystery of stars."
Tang Sanzang nodded repeatedly,
"It's good, it's good. It's a great blessing that Chechi Country can be saved by several immortals. No wonder the poor monk saw that Chechi Country is peaceful from a distance, which is also a kind act of the three immortals."
"If this is the case, the poor monk can leave after asking for an ultimatum. However, those monks don't know what they have committed? If it is just revenge, it cannot be punished by lynching. There must be laws to follow."
Tang Sanzang has always been a pragmatic person. No matter who he is, he should not be lynched.
There should be laws to follow, and laws must be followed. This is also the advanced Buddhist teaching that Chu Hao told Tang Sanzang before, and Tang Sanzang deeply agreed with it.
When Taoist Master Xuanyuan heard what Tang Sanzang said, he felt even more admired.
"Master is indeed a man of cultivation. He understands right from wrong and distinguishes between true and false, not just agreeing."
"But Master doesn't know that these people broke the law and were punished because they pushed too far."
"Listen attentively," Tang Sanzang said.
Taoist Priest Xuanyuan looked at the monks with stern eyes and said angrily:
"You don't know this. These monks are really too much. They have avoided corvee and taxes for twenty years by virtue of their status as monks, and they can eat, drink and have fun in the country with food and salary.
Furthermore, in the past twenty years, he has been bribing court officials, and even launched a rebellion in an attempt to establish the state religion as a Western religion!
He was unable to pray for rain and tried to get involved in politics. This angered the court, demolished his mountain gate, destroyed his Buddha statues, followed his ultimatum, and refused to let him return to his hometown. Instead, he was given to work in our family and became a servant. generally.
He is the one who lights the fire in my house, the one who sweeps the floor, and the one who holds the door. Because there is still a house behind, which is not yet complete, I asked the monk to pull bricks and tiles, haul trees and plants, and build a house. "
When Tang Sanzang heard this, he frowned and murmured:
"Why don't you kill this and keep it for the New Year?"
Taoist priest Xuanyuan was stunned and quickly advised:
"Master, calm down, Che Chi is just doing good things according to the law, you can't kill at will!"
Tang Sanzang frowned.
"You're kind"
Taoist priest Xuanyuan was sweating. This monk is a bit fierce. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
