Chapter 151 Just ask if you will let it go
Since it reached this point, Sun Wukong became quite interested in the three magical Taoists, pretended to be grateful and bowed to thank him, and said, "That's great. If I could meet the three masters, it would be my glory."
When the young Taoist priest saw the Taoist Yunyou going on the road like this, he hurriedly comforted him, but the pride between his eyebrows and eyes could not be concealed.
The young Taoist priest said again: "Don't worry, my junior brother and I will do business. Then we will go there together."
"Business? We are all monks. Is there anything we do?" Wukong was puzzled again.
The young Taoist priest pointed his finger at the shirtless monks in the open space and said, "What these monks are doing is our Taoist friends. I naturally have to check it out to save them from being lazy. Now go check it out and come."
Wukong just thought that the monks were planning to build temples. When he heard the two Taoists say this, the situation was very different: "Master, we and those monks are monks, why do they have to listen to us? Could it be that the monks are not as powerful as us?"
When the Taoist priest heard this, he laughed loudly, and it was not a question of Wukong. He explained: "Brother Dao, you don't know. In the disaster in Chechi Kingdom back then, monks and Taoist priests were asking for rain and fighting together. They didn't expect that these monks were useless at all. They only knew how to recite scriptures, but they had no ability. Later, when my master arrived, he called the wind and rain, and the heavy rain poured down, saving the people.
The court was angry and said that these monks were eating royal food but were useless. The emperor was naturally unhappy! He asked people to tear down the monk's mountain gate, destroy their Buddha statues, and recover the certificates. Anyway, the land and houses belonging to the monks were all given to us Taoism. Now these monks are just helping me to drag bricks and tiles, so we can build Taoist temples. We are afraid that these monks will not work hard and will be troublesome if they delay the progress."
When Wukong heard this, he was even more surprised and thought to himself that if the bald donkey came here, he would probably be arrested. Then he came to pull the cart together. Yeah, he couldn't imagine such a scene at all.
But what should I do?
Wukong had a plan and tried hard to squeeze out a tear, lamenting, "It's so sad, I have a fate with two fellow Taoists, but when I heard about this Taoist Buddhism, I feel sad. I am afraid I will not be able to go to see the teacher with the two fellow Taoists this time."
When the young Taoist priest saw Wukong crying, he said strangely: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Goku continued to try hard to squeeze out a tear, but it was too difficult. It seemed that Goku was blinking more, his eyes blinking quickly.
"You don't know that I have an uncle who has become a monk since childhood, but he has become a monk and a wandering monk. He begs everywhere. He has not been at home for many years. I am worried that he will also be here and work with those monks. I have to go and see it. If I see him, I can feel at ease to enter the city with two fellow Taoists. If not, it will be better to stop my mind."
The two young Taoists were very generous and said with a smile: "I thought it was something extraordinary. Just go and see. There are five hundred monks in the open space. If you see your uncle inside, we should pay attention to our Taoist relationship and let him leave. Then we will go to see my master."
Wukong was very grateful and thought that the two little Taoists treated Taoist priests of the same sect, but their attitudes towards monks were very different.
Wukong turned around and walked straight to the open space. He arrived at the pile of monks, and was facing his back to the two young Taoist priests.
Wukong was dressed as a Taoist priest. As soon as the people arrived in the group, the monks all knelt down and kowtowed as if they had seen a great devil. "Tao Master, we are not lazy. There are only 500 people in each. We are all working very hard, pulling carts here, and there are only a few."
Seeing that these monks were trembling and too lazy to scare them anymore, Wukong said, "Don't kneel down, don't be afraid. I'm not a supervisor, I'm here to find someone to find relatives."
When the monks heard that they were recognizing their relatives, they all stood up and instantly surrounded Wukong. They poked Guangguang's heads out one by one, and kept coughing. If they wanted to attract Wukong's attention, they all hoped to leave this ghost place as soon as possible.
There was no relative of Wukong here. She was just a stone monkey who came out of Huaguo Mountain. Seeing a bunch of bald donkeys surrounding her, she couldn't help but laugh.
When the monk saw the Taoist priest laughing, he asked, "Grandpa Taoist, you don't recognize your relatives, but you laugh here, where can you find relatives?"
Wukong smiled and said, "What did you ask me why I laugh at? I laughed at you being stupid. The monk didn't do it, but worked as a laborer here."
The monks shook their heads repeatedly, and some even sighed heavily.
"Grandpa Taoist, what you said is really wronged us. How come you don't know about all kinds of reasons? Are you an outside Taoist priest?" asked a monk.
Wukong nodded and said, "Yes, I am a Taoist priest from outside. I really don't understand some things. Tell me about them."
Seeing that the Taoist priest was not fierce at all, the monks came forward and said, "We were fine, it was all the things we asked for rain. We failed to ask for rain, which made the king angry! As a result, it was blamed on us."
Wukong thought of the three great immortals and asked, "What's wrong with it?"
An old monk complained: "When you ask for rain, three immortals descended from the sky. They seek rain and rain all over the place, but we have no choice. The king blamed us for all the responsibility for the dryness of heaven and earth."
Sun Wukong jumped, sat down on the stone bench, laughed and said, "I understand, you must be inferior to others. Then he angered the emperor, and eventually demolished all your temples and gave up the land. Do you want to build a Taoist temple for them?"
The monk sighed repeatedly, and the old monk cried and said, "It's okay to demolish the temple and destroy the Buddha, but we are confiscated, we will not be allowed to return to our hometown, nor will we be allowed to return to secular life, nor will we be a servant. He said that we are sinners from Chechi Country, so we should be used by the servants of the immortals. If there are Taoist priests who come here, the king will treat them in every way, but if a monk from afar comes over, it will definitely be a big trouble!"
"What's the unlucky way?" The old monk talked about the problem that Wukong was most worried about.
The old monk responded: "If the monk comes, he will be locked up. Just like us, he will become a hardworking servant under the great immortals and will not escape."
When Sun Wukong heard this, he thought to himself that the emperor was so brave. Along the way, he had all the Tao and Buddhas, and each had its own preferences, but there were few things to destroy Buddhas.
What the king of Chechi Kingdom is doing now is not to take Buddhism seriously. Wukong couldn't help asking: "Why is the king like this? Could it be that he was deceived by the magic of several great immortals?"
The old monk shook his head and said, "No, no, the three great immortals said that they should pray for the king and pray for a lifetime of ten thousand years for him. Therefore, the king attached so much importance to them and built the Three Pure Land for them. The three great immortals said that they should pray day and night to pray for the king."
Wukong nodded and said disapprovingly: "So that's it, let's go first."
Many monks shook their heads and said, "Master, how can we go? Our five hundred monks have a list of portraits and all of them are posted in the countryside. The country of Chechi is relatively large, especially in recent years, the kings hate monks. All bald ones must be arrested. We are afraid that as long as we walk out of here, they will be caught in a short time, and then they will be miserable."
Seeing that they were so cowardly, Wukong said speechlessly: "You might as well die."
The old monk couldn't smile bitterly, shook his head and said, "It's not that he is not dead, but that's not that he can die."
"Can you die?" Sun Wukong said in surprise: "As long as you want to die, how can you not die? I think you are afraid of it?"
"We have thought about many ways to die, but we can't die no matter how much. I wonder if our life span is not over or the Buddha's blessing." The old monk also expressed confusion.
Sun Wukong laughed and said, "This is called "destiny should not be lost. You will definitely be liberated, and it's today."
The old monks were not willing to believe it, just lamented. Sun Wukong smiled and said, "Since I said that you can escape from here today, you can leave here openly."
Speaking of this, Sun Wukong didn't care about these monks, walked to the two young Taoists on his own, and said with a smile: "I'll come."
The Taoist priest stepped forward and asked, "Which one of them is close to you?"
Sun Wukong laughed and said, "I didn't expect that there is such a coincidence in the world. These five hundred people are all related to me, and they are all relatives."
The two Taoist priests were stunned, looked at each other, laughed for a while, and said, "Master Taoist, you are just kidding us."
Wukong looked serious and said, "I didn't joke with you. They are all my neighbors, some of them are my father's lineage, and the rest are my mother's lineage. If you let them go, I will see the immortal leader with you. If you don't let them go, I will save them."
The two Taoist priests were furious and shouted, "You madman, I think you were a monk? You actually said such stupid words. Do you know that these monks were given by His Majesty. If you let one or two of them go, we can do it. If we let them go, we will not want to live."
Wukong snorted, and she agreed to the monks, so she naturally wanted to stand up for them, and snorted, "Tell me! Will you let me go?"
Sun Wukong's tone was cold and stern, as if he had transformed into a street domineering. Moreover, the two Taoist priests could not withstand this god-like figure glared at this, but the two Taoist priests were tough, and it was related to their own lives. He still gritted his teeth and shouted: "Don't think about it! Don't think about letting them go! I think you are not a life or a madman."
When Sun Wukong heard this, he sneered and said to himself: "Don't you really want to let go?"
"Don't let go! Never let go!" The Taoist roared. It seemed that the three great immortals had a deep influence on them. Under the intimidation of Wukong, he did not lose himself.
When asked, Sun Wukong was already furious. He took out the golden cudgel from his ear. When the wind blew, the iron rod was as thick as a pillar. With just one sweep, the two Taoists flew backwards. When they landed on the ground, they were already bleeding, their skin was blooming, and they could not die anymore.
The two handsome Taoist priests died not far from the city tower. The monks watching from afar were all scared to death. The old monk was frightened and hurried back and said, "You, why did you kill them? They are both big figures and are the most valued disciples of the Immortal Chief. You have committed a huge disaster."
Wukong disagreed and said, "Do you know why you can't die?"
The old monk asked subconsciously: "I have dreamed that if we meet an elder in Tang funeral, it will be the time for us to be liberated. But you are a Taoist priest, where is a monk?"
Sun Wukong laughed, but said, "I am Tang Funeral's apprentice. Just walk away and don't worry, no one dares to catch you."
These monks were not willing to believe it, but the old monk had some vision and asked, "This master, we are sure that we will be caught if we can't go far. We will run away in vain and we will be beaten."
Wukong smiled and said, "Did you see a mountain in front of you? I have used my means there. You just need to enter the mountain, and no one can catch you. When you enter the mountain, you will have your own food in the mountain, so you don't need to worry about anything else."
