The Monkey King

"Da Leiyin Temple?" Xuanzang was slightly surprised when he heard this name.

However, it was the monkey who was even more surprised.

When he heard the name, the monkey's face changed completely.

On the other side, Xiao Bailong was still muttering to himself: "This is the Great Leiyin Temple? That's too ridiculous. Although I have never been to the Great Leiyin Temple, you should at least build a mountain. No Lingshan is called What’s the Great Leiyin Temple?”

"It looks like it's a trap. No, we can't let Master Xuanzang in."

"A trap is a trap, but it's not a conspiracy, it's a conspiracy."

Tianpeng's casual words immediately awoke everyone. Everyone looked at him at once.

"It's definitely a conspiracy." Monkey's face looked a little ugly. He took a deep breath, clenched his fists and said slowly: "The Great Leiyin Temple before the Great Leiyin Temple is clearly playing tricks on us. I have checked the entire town, not even one Don’t even let go of the flies!”

"No!" With a shout, all the monsters immediately dispersed and dived into the moonlight.

All of a sudden, the only ones left in place were the monkey, the little white dragon, the black bear spirit, and the original westbound five-person group of Canopy and Roller Blind.

The monkey glanced sideways at Xiao Bailong and said, "You go too, contact the people you can contact, and check if there is a Buddhist named Donglai Buddha and if there is a Yellow-browed Ancestor under his command."

"Okay... okay." Xiao Bailong nodded quickly in fear.

…

At this time, the carriage had already entered the town.

Children running along the street chased the carriage. He smiled happily and attracted everyone's attention. So lively.

"Is it the prince's carriage? The old prince has arrived! The old prince has arrived!"

Following a burst of shouting, the people who had gathered in front of the Prince's Mansion suddenly stood on tiptoes, looking forward to it.

As soon as the carriage arrived, it was surrounded by a crowd.

Got out of the car. The old county prince began to greet the enthusiastic villagers in a homely manner. After not seeing each other for several years, the old man could no longer tell who was with whom, but he was still so excited that he burst into tears and couldn't help himself for a long time.

Xuanzang, on the other hand, was left aside, with only the prince accompanying him.

"Master Xuanzang, please don't be offended. Everyone is waiting for my father to arrive. I probably can't listen to what I say now. I will formally introduce you to everyone tomorrow. You have been working hard for the past few days. Please rest first tonight."

"I'd like to thank you, Your Majesty the Prince, for your arrangement." Xuanzang bowed respectfully in return.

In the warm atmosphere, Xuanzang just watched quietly. Occasionally, a few sharp-eyed villagers noticed Xuanzang coming over to say hello and inquire, but the prince blocked them one by one.

Not long after, everyone gathered around the old prince like a tide and walked inside.

Before entering the door, Xuanzang asked in a low voice: "I heard from the prince earlier that there is a Buddhist temple in the town called Da Leiyin Temple. I don't know..."

"Oh. I almost forgot." The prince came to his senses and said apologetically: "That was the temple built by Lord Buddha. Now, Lord Buddha also lives in that temple. My father has just come back. Early tomorrow morning, the disciples will return I’m going to offer incense and fulfill my vows. Then I’ll invite Master Xuanzang to accompany me so that I can meet the ‘Buddha’.”

"Then there is Prince Lao." Xuanzang bowed respectfully again.

…

Not long after, the monsters sent out to search brought back all kinds of news.

"This place is called Leiyin County. It is said that it was named after the temple in the town, the Great Leiyin Temple. There are many strange things."

"Every building in the county is new and just built. There are a lot of new buildings being built."

"Just a few months ago, this place was still a desert with nothing. In just a few months, not only did this place become a land of plenty, but a small town was also built. Of course, the people in this town are The original residents of Fengxian County. There are probably thousands of people inside and outside."

"'Daleiyin Temple' appeared overnight, and was not created by fake residents. The monks in the temple don't know where they came from. They are not from Fengxian County. Even some residents came out of Those who gratefully hope to become monks here have all been declined. The reason is not yet clear."

"The so-called 'Buddha' has always lived in the temple, but he lives in seclusion. It is not easy to see him on weekdays. It is said that there is a golden light on his body, which is probably the light of the Buddha. He should be a serious Buddha."

"There is nothing unusual outside the 'Da Leiyin Temple' in the town, and no cultivators have been found for the time being. Overall, there are only so many."

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Monkey couldn't help but reach out and touch his chin, and his eyes slowly tilted towards Xiao Bailong: "What about you?"

"I have never heard of Buddha from the East, and Patriarch Huangmei is even more confused about it."

"Sure?"

"Sure." Xiao Bailong nodded heavily and said, "I have asked everyone I can ask, except...except my father."

The Bull Demon King cupped his hands and said, "Great Sage, what should we do next?"

"Wait." The monkey said leisurely with half-squinted eyes: "Wait for tomorrow and see who that 'Buddha' is. Also, Master Xuanzang's residence will be fully monitored tonight, and no trace will be missed!"

"promise!"

…

At this moment, while the monkey's nerves in Leiyin County were tense, the Jade Emperor in Heaven slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xuan Zang really left Fengxian County?"

"Leave." Li Jing nodded heavily.

"Isn't it raining?"

"Not yet." Li Jing wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "Thanks to your majesty for reminding me, as long as the monkey doesn't rush me, I'll hold off. I didn't expect that I really don't need to stop."

The Jade Emperor chuckled, supported the dragon case and said leisurely: "If the monkey has any demands in the future, we can use this to prevaricate him. As long as it is related to Xiexing Zhengdao and Pudu, he will not dare to act rashly. "

Hearing this, the immortals present couldn't help but look at each other and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Seeing this, the Jade Emperor couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

It's funny to say that. Since Monkey came out of the mountain, this was the first time he felt proud in front of the immortals.

After a moment of silence, Li Jing asked in a low voice: "Then, Your Majesty, are you going to return the rainwater from the Lion and Camel Kingdom?"

"No, not yet. Hold it."

"Don't you want to go down first?"

"Yes. Wait for him to come and ask for it." The Jade Emperor stroked his long beard and said: "Now, the monkey is entangled in the Buddhist fight and has no time to cause trouble for the time being. Our only trouble is the six-eared macaque. Since he If we want to do good, let's just take this opportunity to test the reality."

Saying that, the Jade Emperor glanced meaningfully at the immortals and sighed: "Don't be afraid. Before, we were too afraid and didn't dare to do anything. In the end, we ended up in a passive situation. Instead of this, we might as well take the risk." Take risks, take the initiative, take the initiative to explore. Maybe you can open up another new world!"

After saying these confident words, all the immortals present were speechless.

…

When the sky was gray and bright, the carriage of the Prince's Palace had already stopped at the gate.

Xuanzang, the Crown Prince, and the old prince got into the carriage and headed towards the "Da Leiyin Temple".

Under the gloomy sky, although it was still very early, many people were already getting up early and busy along the way. Seeing this scene, the old prince smiled from ear to ear again, and his eyes became blurred with tears.

"I'm old. Seeing that everyone is living peacefully, I can't help but shed tears. Sigh... I think it was the same in Fengxian County back then, but we didn't know how to cherish it. People really have to lose their talents. I understand."

"That's what my father said. How can we find dandies, lazy gangsters and hooligans in Fengxian County now? Think about the days when there was no food to eat and no water to drink. Nowadays, everyone is very peaceful."

"It's also a good thing. This difficulty may be a good thing for the people of Fengxian County." The old prince patted the prince's hand gently and looked out the window with emotion: "God It’s not too kind to us.”

Along the way, Xuanzang still just watched quietly.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the entrance of "Da Leiyin Temple" and saw two huge stone lions at the entrance.

It is different from ordinary temples, which are mostly built on high mountains and have a sense of avoiding the world. This "Great Leiyin Temple" was built in the middle of the town. Not only that, it is only separated from ordinary residential buildings by a wall.

The towering gatehouse, the exquisitely carved eaves, and the plaque of "Da Leiyin Temple" hanging at the door and the pagoda towering like a flock of chickens inside, would probably be thought of as the palace of a certain king.

The moment he saw the "Da Leiyin Temple", two words suddenly appeared in Xuanzang's mind - "joining the world".

Isn't this what I have always thought of as "joining the world"?

If you want to practice the path of universal salvation, you should not "shun the world". If you avoid all living beings, how can you achieve universal salvation? The method of universal salvation can only be "joined the world". This is a completely opposite concept to today’s Buddhism.

But why does this concept appear here?

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but have some doubts.

When the two monks guarding the door saw the carriage arriving, they immediately came up to greet it and saluted with their hands clasped together. Everyone also returned the gift silently.

The prince said softly: "Master, my disciple has welcomed my father back. This time I came to fulfill my wish. By the way..."

After saying that, the prince turned around and looked at Xuanzang, and said with some hesitation: "Master Xuanzang was welcomed back from Fengxian County by his disciples. I wonder if the 'Buddha' is here. Is it convenient for me to meet him?"

When one of the monks saw Xuanzang, he smiled faintly and saluted: "Master, he has already known Master Xuanzang's arrival and is waiting in the back hall. However, Master only saw Master Xuanzang alone."

Hearing this, Xuanzang was slightly surprised. The old county prince and his son were overjoyed.

"Buddha" is waiting for Master Xuanzang. Doesn't this mean that their original judgment was correct? The incident in Fengxian County really started because of Master Xuanzang!

The prince said quickly: "It... doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Being lucky enough to send Master Xuanzang here is already a blessing for my disciples. How can I dare to complain?"

The monk took a step back, stretched out his hand and said, "Master Xuanzang, please."

…

At this moment, in the back hall, Lingji was playing with the Buddhist beads in his hand. There was a pleasant smile on the corner of his mouth. (To be continued ~^~)
