Journey to the West: Don’t mess with that monster

Chapter 408: The incense is burning in front of the Sanqing Temple, and the car is late and the country fights the supernatural power

Zhu Bajie stood at the gate of Sanqing Temple and looked around for a long time.

Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Big Brother, those three great immortals are not related to the Three Pure Ones, right?"

The monkey smiled and said, "How should I know this? Or you can go and ask yourself."

Zhu Bajie stood there in a daze.

He looked at Tang Seng and thought that this man was useless and could not help him.

Look at Sha Seng again, this guy has nothing at all, he only knows how to say, yes, yes, yes!

Finally, he smiled flatteringly at the monkey, "Brother, my good brother! Please help your second brother."

The monkey couldn't stand this guy's flattery.

"You got yourself into this trouble, so you have to figure it out yourself!"

Finally, Zhu Bajie gritted his teeth and decided to first see how powerful these three people were before making a decision.

If you really have the ability, just pretend to be stupid.

Let those monks work hard, maybe they can strengthen their bodies.

If they don't have any abilities, let them see what they can do today.

"Master, let's not cause trouble in front of Sanqing Temple.

Let's go directly to the King of Chechi and fight with the three state masters!" Zhu Bajie said with his head held high.

Upon hearing this, Tang Seng felt extremely safe.

The monkey also gave Zhu Bajie a thumbs up. Sha Seng was carrying the load and wondering if he could rest for a while after going to the palace.

"Master, when we go to see the king, we must not let him look down on us because of our clothes." said the monkey.

How could the three of them have any decent clothes?

Instead, it was Tang Monk who wore a brocade cassock, the monkey took the pass, Sha Monk held the bowl, and Zhu Bajie held the staff.

The baggage and horses were stored in a temple in Chechi. This temple was called Zhiyuan Temple. There were two monks left in the temple, who were indeed high-ranking monks with some cultivation.

Although the three imperial masters disliked them, they did not force them to do menial work.

When the master and his four disciples arrived at the palace gate, they bowed to the eunuch, introduced themselves, and said that they were monks from the Tang Dynasty in the East who had come to exchange their pass and were asking for help.

The ambassador of the imperial court came in and bowed down on the golden steps. "There are four monks outside. They say they are from the Eastern Land of Tang seeking Buddhist scriptures. They want to exchange the pass. They are now waiting for your order in front of the palace gate."

The king was slightly surprised when he heard the report and said, "Where is the Great Tang of the East? If this monk has no special ability, he will probably be forced to work for him by the Three Kingdoms Masters."

The Imperial Master of the court came out and said, "The Great Tang in the East is the Southern Continent, also known as the Great Chinese Nation.

It is thousands of miles from here, and there are many monsters on the road.

This monk must have some magical powers to dare to come to the West. Your Majesty, please consider this distant monk in China and summon him to check his certificate before letting him go, which will not be a loss of goodwill. "

The king approved the request and summoned Tang Seng and others to the Golden Throne Hall.

The master and his disciples lined up in front of the steps, holding the documents and handing them to the king.

When the king saw Tang Monk's solemn appearance and then looked at his three disciples, each of whom looked extraordinary, he knew that they must have some abilities.

Then the king checked the disc and stamped it, and returned the pass to them.

"Four masters, if you have nothing to do, please do not stay in my Chechi Kingdom." said the king.

"Your Majesty." At this time, Tang Seng spoke.

"Master, what else do you want?" The king seemed a little impatient.

After all, Elder Tang came from the Tang Dynasty, so when he met the kings of these tiny countries, he was neither humble nor arrogant.

He looks like a virtuous monk from the Celestial Empire.

But when facing the goblin, Elder Tang could only make sure that when he cried, he wouldn't look too ugly.

Because the kings of these tiny countries would be more or less in awe of the Tang Dynasty, but those monsters really are cannibals.

"Your Majesty, God is merciful. I see that the monks in this country are suffering terribly. Could you please issue an order to release them?

Let them return to the temple and practice with all their heart." Tang Seng clasped his hands together and said.

For a moment, the whole hall was in chaos.

There are still loyal ministers in the Chechi Kingdom. These ministers actually think that it is a good idea to let those monks return to secular life and return home.

In this way, there is a population and people are cultivating the fields.

The country can then collect taxes from them.

So in their opinion, this monk might be an evil monk?

That Eastern Tang Dynasty sent them to bring disaster to them.

On the other hand, the three national masters blessed Chechi Kingdom with good weather and harvest, and only built a Sanqing Temple over the years.

The Sanqing Temple was built brick by brick by the common people after they received the grace of the three national masters.

Including three national masters, there are only six Taoists in the temple.

Therefore, all the civil and military officials in the court really respected these three imperial masters.

Tang Seng was a little confused. Why didn't these guys react at all after he said that?

Could it be that he is afraid of those three national masters?

At this time, someone shouted, "Three national masters are here!"

Upon hearing this, King Chechi stood up to greet him.

Three Taoists with immortal looks came over, and Zhu Bajie felt relieved after seeing them.

Just a true immortal!

Tang Seng looked back and saw the three great immortals approaching slowly, followed by a little boy with a pair of buns and disheveled hair, and walking straight in.

The two classes of officials bowed their heads and did not dare to look up.

But they didn't look arrogant at all, instead they looked very humble. For a moment, Tang Seng felt that these three Taoist priests were indeed extraordinary.

"My humble humble servant greets the four masters." The three imperial masters bowed together.

Hu Li winked at the monkey, but the monkey pretended not to see anything.

Tang Seng did not expect that these three imperial masters were so polite.

He was about to speak when Zhu Bajie spoke first, "Hey! You three should listen to what my master said and quickly get those monks back to the temple to practice."

Hu Li has been the national teacher for many years and has a bad temper.

They respected the monkey because he was a close friend of the little saint. But who was this pighead to dare to speak to them like that?

"How dare you!" the king shouted. "How dare you, a foreign monk, speak to the imperial teacher like that!"

The warriors in the hall were ready to capture the four men.

Sha Seng took the opportunity to protect Tang Seng. It was obvious that there would be no fight, so it didn't matter if he did more of this kind of thing which was beneficial and cost-free.

But don’t do too much, or it will affect his slacking off…

He thought again, if someone were to confer the title of Arhat in the future, I wouldn’t be conferred the title of Lazy Arhat.

The word "moyu" was taught to him by the old loach. As for where the old loach learned it from, Sha Seng had no idea.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry." Lu Li said. "Master, those monks became monks for different purposes.

Your Majesty is merciful and does not allow Buddhism and Taoism to pay taxes.

They enter the temple more to evade taxes.”

Tang Seng thought to himself, isn’t it true that a harsh government is more ferocious than a tiger?

But thinking of the peaceful and prosperous situation in Che Chi's country, he was too embarrassed to say this for a moment.

So he looked at his think tank, Zhu Bajie!
"We don't know this, but we must save these monks."

"Why don't you stick a piece of onion in your nose? You can't even put an onion in your nose, so how can you pretend to be an elephant!" Hu Li cursed.

These three monsters were more or less influenced by the Green Emperor on Jin'ao Island.

It took Zhu Bajie a while to realize what this meant.

"Let's make a bet. If I win, you will release those monks." Zhu Bajie said directly.

He has now figured out what has happened.

Just drag everyone into the water.

"What if you lose?" asked the Great Immortal Yangli.

"We will give you our heads!" Zhu Bajie said confidently.

Not to mention Guanyin Bodhisattva, even a monkey couldn't just watch this happen.

Tang Seng subconsciously looked at Zhu Bajie.

"Master, don't worry!"

"What do you want to compete in?" Hu Li asked angrily.

Zhu Bajie was thinking. He winked at the monkey several times, but the monkey seemed not to see anything.

At this time, the eunuch came to report, "Your Majesty, there are many people outside the gate."

"What do they want here?" the king asked with a smile.

In the past, common people were not qualified to come to the palace, but after the three imperial masters arrived, they told the king to practice benevolent governance.

The grievances and demands of the people must be understood.

What is reasonable should be implemented, and what is unreasonable should be warned against.

The common people were summoned to the front of the palace. Thirty or forty village elders kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, there has been no rain this spring, and we are afraid that the summer will be dry and barren. We have come to ask the three state masters to pray for a sweet rain to help the people."

"Everyone, please step back, and it will rain."

The village elder expressed his gratitude and left.

"Tang Dynasty monks, if you don't know what to compete with.

That's just like praying for rain." The king said to them.

It can be seen that the king still favors his three national masters.

"Okay!" Zhu Bajie said confidently.

Even if the monkey does not make any effort, he can ask the Four Valued Officials and the Five Directions Jie Di to pray for rain.

The king looked at Tang Seng and said, "It is not unreasonable for me to respect the monk.

Just to pray for rain that year, I also asked the senior monks of Zhiyuan Temple for help, but they didn't get any rain at all and instead asked for a lot of offerings.

Fortunately, a national teacher came from heaven to save the suffering people.

You have come from afar and offended the state teacher, so you should be punished immediately. If you can pray for a sweet rain to save the people, I will forgive your crime and let you go west.

If you lose the bet, you will be sent to the killing ground and punished as a public display."

Tang Seng felt that the gamble was a bit too big!

But he looked at Zhu Bajie's confident eyes.

So Tang Seng nodded, which was considered as his agreement.

When the king saw this, he ordered people to clean the altar.

"Go ahead, I will personally go to the Five Phoenix Tower to watch."

All the civil and military officials in the court went upstairs and sat down together.

Tang Sanzang, along with Monkey, Sha Seng and Pigsy, stood downstairs.

The three Taoists sat upstairs with the king.

"Please come upstairs and sit together, three masters." said Immortal Luli politely.

Zhu Bajie was naturally ignored, and the monkey wanted to go upstairs together when he heard it.

But Zhu Bajie grabbed him and said, "Brother Monkey! Please stay here with me."

The monkey looked at him and smiled, "Isn't Marshal Tianpeng full of confidence?"

"Brother Monkey, this is obviously a difficult problem. If I lose and something happens to Master, then the three of us will suffer together in the end." Zhu Bajie didn't know why, but he felt a little unsure.

Upon hearing this, the monkey did not go upstairs, but stood downstairs with Zhu Bajie.

A moment later, an official came on horseback to report, "The altar is ready. Please invite Grandpa Imperial Master to ascend the altar."

The great immortal Huli bowed, said goodbye to the king, and went downstairs.

At this time, Zhu Bajie stopped Hu Li and said, "Master, since you are so powerful, why don't you let me make it rain first?"

Hu Li smiled when he heard this, "Okay, let you, the pig demon, go first. You look like this, it's time for you to transform, but you didn't do it well!

Haven't you learned any changes in all these years?"

Zhu Bajie thought this guy's words sounded youthful!
How annoying!
