Chapter 2610 Fulong Temple? No!
After Sun Wukong was captured, Erlang Shen set off a skyfire and burned the entire Huaguo Mountain. Those monkeys died and fled. As a result, more than 40,000 monkeys in the heyday of Huaguo Mountain were killed. There are only less than a thousand left; from this point of view, they are big enemies, why did Monkey King not mention a word when he saw Erlang God?
Because Sun Wukong had already seen the methods used by Heavenly Court to deal with monsters on the westward journey, he would destroy all of them at every turn, leaving no one alive. The monkey escaped with a life. If other people were to do it, maybe none of the monkeys on the mountain would survive.
From this point of view, Erlang God helped Sun Wukong. He knew that Erlang God’s fire was ordered by the Jade Emperor, but it was Erlang God who helped him save the thousand monkeys. Monkey King owed him heaven. It's a big favor, that's why I was so respectful after meeting again, and didn't bring up old grievances at all.
As for letting go of the Nine-Headed Insect is nothing more than physical harm, what crime did he commit in the past? It was nothing more than asking for the golden cudgel and cloak from the Dragon King of the Four Seas, and stealing flat peaches in the heavenly court. It is similar to the crimes committed by the Nine-Headed Insect couple. They are all stealing the treasures of the heavenly court. Of course, I couldn't bear to kill myself.
"You send this thing to the West Sea, let the Dragon King return it to the Queen Mother!" Shen Long handed the white jade box to the little white dragon, so as to help him offset a little sin of burning the imperial gift, and at the same time let the Dragon King of the West Sea hand it over, This is equivalent to telling the Heavenly Court that the disaster caused by our Dragon Clan has been solved by the Dragon Clan themselves, and the Heavenly Court is naturally embarrassed to punish the Wansheng Dragon King's family.
Wansheng Dragon King thought for a while, understood the truth, and became more respectful. Shen Long did not refuse, followed them into the underwater dragon mansion, and had a feast; at the banquet, Monkey King and Bull Demon King drank plain wine , Nine-Headed Insect occasionally said a few words, Shen Long talked to Wansheng Dragon King about how much trouble they caused to Jinguang Temple, and Zhu Bajie was left to eat.
When the little white dragon came back, everyone sat for a while before leaving. Before leaving, the Dragon King of Wansheng sent many treasures as an apology to Ji Saiguo and Jinguang Temple. Less suffering, these should be, so Shen Long let Monkey King accept it.
Back in Jinguang Temple, Shen Long revealed the Buddhist treasure relic. The monks in the temple were overjoyed, and quickly put the relic in the middle of the vase on the top of the thirteenth floor pagoda. For all to see, the four countries look forward together.
The king of the Sacrifice Kingdom saw it, and quickly sent someone over to inquire. Shen Long explained the reasons for the matter one by one, and divided the compensation of the Wansheng Dragon King into two parts, and left one part for Jinguang Temple, so that they could rebuild the temple The other was given to the king of the country of Jisai, and asked him to help the people in the country. The king was very grateful to hear about it.
So he quickly decreed, "pardon the shackles of all the monks in Jinguang Temple, and quickly teach Guanglu Temple to hold a banquet, and then thank the holy monks in the Qilin Hall for the thieves' recapture of the Buddha's treasure." You can understand this by birth!"
Sun Wukong interjected, "Your Majesty, the word "golden light" is not good. It is not a long-lived thing: gold is a flowing thing, and light is a scorching gas. The poor monk has worked hard for you. I will change the name of this temple to teach you to live forever." live."
Monkey King was about to say the word Fulong Temple, but was stopped by Shen Long. The name Fulong Temple is also somewhat inappropriate. It must be known that the name can provoke karma the most. If you take the name of Fulong Temple, the dragon will see you. Can you be happy? Even Xiao Bailong would be unhappy, and he didn't come to bring grievances to Ji Saiguo just because of a name.
So Shen Long said, "My Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty once said: Water can carry a boat and it can also overturn it;
It is necessary to be sympathetic to the people in the country, so it is not necessary to change its name to Puji Temple, taking the meaning of "pursuing all living beings and helping the world with compassion". "Isn't this name better than Fulong Temple?
The king praised him greatly when he heard the words, and all civil and military officials all said that he was worthy of being an eminent monk in the country. His insights were indeed far-reaching. The king immediately ordered the name to be changed, and a new plaque was hung, which read "Edict to build Puji Temple to protect the country", and treated Shen warmly. Long waited for a while, then stamped the jade seal on the customs clearance document, and sent them westward respectfully.
When he was about to leave the city, the king lined up his car, accompanied by many civil and military officials, all the people in the city, and the monks of Puji Temple. They sent four people out of the city with loud blows and fights. It was about twenty miles away. After resigning, the monks in Puji Temple would not return for fifty or sixty miles. Some of them wanted to go to the west, and some wanted to practice and serve them. In the end, it was Monkey King who transformed into a tiger to scare them away.
Shen Long sneered in his heart, it is so easy to achieve a true fruit, a mere tiger will scare away, you should stay in Puji Temple safely and pray for the people of the Sai Kingdom.
Everyone went all the way to the west, now it is time to change, and early winter and late spring arrive, neither warm nor cold, just traveling freely, after walking for several months, suddenly saw a long ridge with a road on the top of the ridge, Shen Long reined in his horse to watch On the ridge, there are thorns and forks, surrounded by radishes. Although there are traces of the road, there are thorns and needles on the left and right.
At this time, Zhu Bajie had a place to use his skills, and said, "It doesn't matter, when I use my palladium and firewood to separate the nails and palladium from the thorns, not to mention riding a horse, I will also carry a sedan chair to take you there."
Immediately twist a tactic, recite a mantra, bow your waist, and say "Long!", and you will grow a body about 20 feet high. Put the nails and palladium under the cover, and teach "Change!", and you will change 30 feet. The palladium handle, which is ten feet long and short, is pulled away, and the palladium is used with both hands to embrace the thorns left and right, "Master, please come with me!"
The little white dragon swung his sword to cut off the thorns and branches, Shen Long rode forward with the horse, the sand monk carried the luggage, and the traveler also pushed the iron rod away. This day he didn't stop, he traveled a hundred miles, and the next day night, see There is an open place, and there is a stone tablet on the road. There are three big characters on it, which are "thorny ridge"; there are two lines of 14 small characters on the bottom, which are "the thorny thorns climb eight hundred miles, and there have been roads in ancient times that few people travel."
Shen Long knew in his heart that this was the territory of the tree demons such as Guzhigong, Ling Kongzi, Fuyunsou, Shibagong and Xingxian. These tree demons were not evil like grandma in "A Chinese Ghost Story". On weekdays, he devoted himself to practicing, but he didn't do anything bad.
So after they came out, Shen Long had a banquet with them, ate some fruits, and casually pointed out their ways of cultivation, which actually made them gain a lot, and everyone was very happy.
After speaking the Dharma, Guzhigong, Lingkongzi, Fuyunsou, Shibagong and Xingxian reluctantly sent them away, and then the master and apprentice continued to go west.
