It was the first time that the Empress of Jin Sheng Palace saw such a menacing monk. The murderous look on his face and the blood on his body made her think for a moment that some god of death was coming.
"Are you an eminent monk from the Tang Dynasty?" the Empress of Jin Sheng Palace asked with some fright.
Tang Monk put his hands together and saluted slowly: "Amitabha, this poor monk comes from the Eastern Tang Dynasty and comes to rescue the Queen."
The scene of the Tang Monk covered in blood speaking the name of the Buddha is indeed a bit scary. Even the Empress of Jinshenggong didn't dare to believe it, fearing that it was the transformed monster.
It wasn¡¯t until Chu Hao appeared that she believed Tang Monk¡¯s words and showed a grateful expression: ¡°Thank you, eminent monk, for the rescue.¡±
"Queen, there is no need to be polite, we can go back." Tang Seng said seriously, without the murderous look before.
Several people walked out of the cave, and Zhu Bajie saw that there were still some little demons who stayed at the end.
It glanced at it, then rushed over, and directly displayed its talent of gluttony.
In an instant, his mouth turned into a maw of the abyss, and the terrifying suction pulled all the surviving little demons into his belly.
After the countless little demons were completely eliminated, Zhu Bajie burped and felt that his strength had improved somewhat.
It walked out of the cave and found that Tang Monk and the others were waiting for him.
"What have you done, you idiot?" Sun Wukong ran over and grabbed his ears and asked.
"It hurts, Brother Monkey, it hurts. I'm going to deal with the aftermath, otherwise if I let those little monsters run away, they will gather together and cause trouble again." Zhu Bajie shouted.
"Bajie did the right thing." Tang Monk in front said seriously.
After experiencing the fight just now, Tang Seng was even more deeply affected by the demonic energy.
He believes that demons are demons and must be eradicated, otherwise humans will suffer in the end.
Chu Hao felt this change, but he didn't say anything.
Everyone took him back to the Kingdom of Zhuzi.
At present, the people of Zhuzi Kingdom are still immersed in Buddhist meetings.
Several people walked on the road and received a warm welcome from everyone.
But Tang Monk noticed that there were some homeless people curled up in the corner of the street, as if they were completely different from the lively Buddhist meeting.
He didn¡¯t have time to think too much, and he was quickly led to the palace by the guards.
But they did not see the king, because the king was discussing Taoism with an eminent monk.
Tang Monk asked which eminent monk it was, and the guard told him that it was the monk Minghai next to the abbot of Cijue Temple.
Hearing this, Tang Monk was a little puzzled. He thought that even if he was discussing Taoism, wouldn't it be with the abbot?
With doubts, their master and apprentice and Chu Hao came to the imperial study room.
Outside the study, the soldiers saw that it was Tang Seng and others and did not stop them, especially since they also learned that this eminent monk from the Tang Dynasty had just rescued the queen.
As soon as they arrived, they saw the door of the study room being opened, and the king sent the monk Minghai out with a heavy expression.
Monk Minghai raised his head and glanced at Tang Seng first, and then at Chu Hao behind him.
Chu Hao looked at him with a smile on his face, as if he recognized where he came from.
Monk Minghai did not speak, but left silently.
"The eminent monk is here? Has the queen been rescued?" the king said in surprise.
"Reporting to the king, the queen has been rescued by us and has now returned to the palace." Tang Monk clasped his hands and said.
"Excellent, come here, the eminent monk invites you. I have something to ask you." The king looked excited, but he did not go to the queen immediately. Instead, he invited Tang Monk to come inside.
Tang Monk and others walked into the study. Chu Hao noticed that there was a Buddhist scripture placed in front of the king, but the Buddhist scripture was contaminated with a trace of evil spirit.
He didn¡¯t say anything, just sat quietly aside.
The king's face turned dark again. He sat back down and opened the Buddhist scriptures in front of him. Then he looked at Tang Monk opposite and asked, "Senior Monk, there's something I don't understand."
"What's the matter?" Tang Seng asked.
"You have also seen that our country, Zhuzi, holds Buddhist meetings and promotes Buddhism. Why are we still abandoned by the Buddhas and even making things difficult for me, the king of a country?" the king said seriously.
Hearing this, Tang Seng was stunned for a moment, wondering if the king already knew that this disaster was arranged by Xitian?
Seeing that Tang Monk was silent, the king continued: "Senior monk, there is no need to hide it from me. I already know that the monster came to harm me and kidnapped my queen because it was ordered by the Buddhas."
As soon as these words came out, Tang Monk stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, this matter is indeed caused by me."
However, the king waved his hand: "The eminent monk is the benefactor of me and the queen, how can he say such things? Tonight, what I want to discuss with you is whether this Buddha should be respected or not!"
When several people in the study heard this, they were all shocked.
Especially Sun Wukong and others.
They clearly saw that the king highly praised Buddhism and Taoism, built temples for people to worship, why did they suddenly say such things again?
In this regard, Tang Monk thought seriously and said: "Buddha is respected, but it depends on what kind of Buddha it is?"
"Buddhas are also divided into good and bad?" the king asked.
"Since this is the case, the abbot of Cijue Temple is not a good monk, and he is not a good Buddha." Tang Monk said, and then told the king what he saw last night.
After hearing this, the king was furious: "It's too much. The little girl is still a human life after all. How could he not save her life? Even if he knew that she was not going to die soon, he should try his best. His behavior clearly meant that he wanted to stay out of the matter. .¡±
Tang Monk nodded: "The current monk temple has long lost its original intention"
The more Tang Monk talked, the more excited he became, and the demonic aura emerged from his body. He was originally just discussing whether Buddha should be respected or not, and he had even ascended to the level of the Buddhas in the Western Heaven.
In his opinion, it is precisely because the Buddhas in the Western Heavens did not act and allowed all sentient beings to do whatever they want that led to such suffering.
For example, the abbot of Cijue Temple, if the Buddha he prayed to was really effective, he would definitely not drive away the little girl, but would keep her and give her to the Buddha for treatment.
In this regard, the king was very happy.
¡°Before, he had discussed this matter with Monk Minghai.
Minghai took the boat as an example and believed that the king is the boat and the people are the water, while the Buddha is just a building on the shore. It looks high and out of reach, but it has no effect on the people and the country.
Those who are sick will not recover because of worshiping Buddha, those who are poor will not become rich because of Buddha, and those who are captured by monsters will not return safely because of Buddha
The only person you can rely on is yourself, because Buddha can't do anything.
It was these remarks that made the king begin to rethink the meaning of Buddha, and it happened that Tang Seng did the same.
The two of them are like close friends, and all their ideas coincide.
Sun Wukong was shocked by the two people's remarks, but he did not dare to interrupt because he was surprised that these words were not false.
But for Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng, they didn¡¯t feel anything.
They are originally from heaven and belong to the Taoist sect, and their sense of belonging to the Buddha is not that strong in their hearts.
