The Monkey King

Chapter 649: debate

  Lingshan, Daleiyin Temple.

   On the long stone steps, a young monk rolled up his sleeves and struggled to climb, hurriedly passing other monks who passed by.

   stopped, he raised his head to wipe the sweat, swallowed dryly, and continued to bury his head in a hurry.

   All the way to the top of the stone steps, bypassing the stone forest formed by the continuous pagoda pagodas, he walked quickly along the long path.

   The monks standing around were watching him silently, but he didn't seem to see them at all.

   After a while, he came to the front of the splendid golden hall, slowed down a little, breathed steadily, put his hands together, and bowed to the two Arhats who were holding the door.

  The two Arhats silently returned the salute, and one of them made a "please" gesture to him.

   Crossed the threshold, and he walked quickly into the hall.

The sides of the    maintained various postures, and the layers of Arhats turned their faces one by one.

  The Buddhas who were deep in the hall also looked at him one by one.

Unfurling his sleeves, the monk knelt down on his knees and bowed to the Tathagata from a distance: "Report to your lord, this disciple has just received an espionage, and a monster monkey appeared in Bibotan, which looks exactly like the monster king Sun Wukong. After investigation, This demon intercepted and killed several demon armies under the command of the Bibotan Nine-Headed Worm, and after the elders in the Bodhi Academy searched the ancient books, they were suspected to be…”

  The words stopped here.

  Because the monk saw the figure of Ksitigarbha among the Buddha.

  The entire hall was quiet, and everyone was silently watching the stunned monk in the middle.

   He stared blankly at King Jizo and opened his mouth.

   Ksitigarbha King lowered his eyes and sighed, "I doubt why. Why don't you continue?"

   "Yeah. Why don't you go on?"

   "What's the matter. Why don't you finish it?"

   For a time, the Arhats in the hall started to discuss, but the Buddhas did not say a word, all of them looked at the Ksitigarbha King.

   "Venerable!" The monk exclaimed and bowed to the Tathagata.

   For a while, everyone's eyes converged on the Tathagata again, watching them silently one by one.

  The monk still maintained his squatting motion, trembling slightly and did not dare to raise his head.

   The whole hall was extremely silent again.

for a long time. The Tathagata opened his eyes slightly and sighed softly, "You, go down first."

   "Thank you, Venerable!" Slowly getting up, the monk bowed his body and stepped out of the hall.

  In the hall, every Arhat is confused, and every Buddha is thoughtful.

   After a while, the Tathagata stared blankly in front of the empty space, and said softly, "The soul that should have perished in the calamity, but you released it with the power of the underworld?"

   "The soul that died in the calamity? Could it be..."

   Immediately, all the Arhats present were terrified. The Buddhas who were present all looked towards Ksitigarbha.

   Can use the power of the underworld. It is none other than Ksitigarbha.

On the steps to the side of   , King Jizo shook his sleeves slightly. The two Buddhas standing one step lower in front of him immediately made way for him.

   Walking down the steps step by step, King Ksitigarbha slowly came to the Tathagata, folded his hands together, bowed and said, "Respected, it was the poor monk who released him."

   "Why?"

   "For preaching."

   "Proving the Way..." Immediately, the voices of discussion in the hall resounded. The Arhats all looked at Zhengfa Ming Tathagata: "Zhengfa Ming Tathagata helped Xuanzang escape from prison, and also helped Xuanzang gain the support of the demon king Sun Wukong... Could it be that the Ksitigarbha King also stood on Xuanzang's side?"

   Slowly closed his eyes, a rare smile appeared on the Tathagata's ice-like face.

   In the crowd, an Arhat stood up. He folded his hands and bowed to the Tathagata, and then bowed to King Ksitigarbha, saying: "That day, Venerable Zhengfaming rescued Xuanzang from water and fire, or it can be said to protect Xuanzang all the way westward. Now, Xuanzang and his party have arrived. Ask France, the poor monk is puzzled, let go of the soul that should have perished in the catastrophe, what does it have to do with preaching? I also ask Venerable Ksitigarbha to answer."

At the height of the   stairs, Zhengfa Ming Tathagata silently watched the King Ksitigarbha in the center of the hall. Poker face.

"On that day, Venerable Zhengfaming saved Xuanzang from water and fire to help him perform a wonderful method. If this way is proven, the three worlds will be safe. It's just..." With a faint smile, the King Ksitigarbha continued: "The demon king Sun Wukong is really He is too strong, and the Patriarch Subhuti of Xieyue Sanxingdong intervenes, and even the Laojun of the Three Purities helps him from time to time. Martial arts, Daomen sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Besides, mortals know that they are born in distress and die in peace, so traveling one hundred and eight thousand miles west is no different from a spring outing, how can they prove the Tao?"

   "What does Venerable Earth Store think?"

   Looking back at the Tathagata, King Ksitigarbha vibrated his sleeves and said slowly, "The poor monk thinks that either he will prove the Dao, or he will disappear!"

   As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked.

   On the lotus pedestal, the smile on the Tathagata's face became even stronger.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and sighed softly, "Since the Venerable Ksitigarbha said so, then, let me take a look first, Xuanzang, who is in deep trouble of not being able to ask for it, how can Purdue also be caught in the same situation of not being able to ask for it? Those who are suffering, please wait for all the people in France."

   From a distance, he and King Jizo looked at each other. Both had smiles on their faces.

  In that hall, there was silence.

  …

   In the lit up palace, one after another sang and danced.

   All the ministers congratulated each other again and again, and went back and forth. Although the cup was full of water, they still enjoyed it.

   This big scene fell into Xuanzang's eyes, like a microcosm of the rolling red dust.

   The eyes are full of lead, and the peace decorated in the hustle and bustle falls into the cup, but it is only clear water, and the food on the table is also full of vegetarian food.

   Monks abstain from alcohol and vegetarianism, in order to get rid of the shackles of **.

  The people who destroyed France seem to be pursuing the Dharma in their hearts in their own unique way. It should have been appreciated, but for some reason, Xuanzang had a feeling of being out of place.

"Living Buddha." Holding his knees, the king leaned slightly in the direction of Xuanzang, and said, "This king's destruction of France. Alcohol was banned many years ago. Meat was banned. The reason for doing this is because The scriptures say that one should not be greedy for appetite. I wonder what the Living Buddha thinks?”

   Xuanzang hurriedly turned around and said: "Your Majesty is a great virtue. The poor monk thought, this is very good."

   pointed to the surroundings, and the king said again: "Tomorrow, this king will ask someone to change the number of the country to the next one. Here, we are still seeking France, not destroying France. What does the living Buddha think?"

   "Your Majesty is a great virtue. The poor monk thought that this was very good." Xuanzang bowed again.

The king raised his head slightly, and said again: "From tomorrow onwards, this king will order the removal of the monks' corvés, the reopening of the closed temples, and the return of the confiscated temple property. Not only that, this king will also compensate them and give them to them. More land, so that they can afford more monks. I beg France. The treatment of monks will be better than before. What does the living Buddha think?"

   "Your Majesty is very virtuous. The poor monk thanked His Majesty for the monks who asked the French to respond." Xuanzang bowed again.

The king    smiled slowly and said: "Then, this king will build a large temple of a thousand people in this capital, give fertile land, seal it with jewels, and you will be the host. What do you think of the living Buddha?"

   As soon as these words came out, Xuanzang was startled and looked at the king in horror.

   Not far away, the monkey frowned and looked at Tianpeng.

"The journey to the west to get Buddhist scriptures is a long way, with all kinds of hardships, it's really not suitable, and there is no need for a living Buddha to come." The king stroked his beard and said leisurely: "If the living Buddha insists on this trip... This king will send someone to walk for you, and send a whole The army, go to Lingshan, meet the Buddha, ask for scriptures, and come back. The living Buddha just needs to be at ease and I will ask the living Buddha of France."

   Having said this, Xuanzang hurriedly got up and walked to the center of the hall to bow down, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it is a poor monk's long-cherished wish to study scriptures in the west. This matter cannot be replaced by others, please forgive me!"

  Suddenly, the originally noisy hall became quiet.

   The singer stopped dancing, the musicians stopped playing and singing,
