Li Xiang and others rested outside the city for a night. At midnight, the three monkey brothers came back from the city and said, "Brother Xiang, I have checked and found that there are no people with advanced abilities in the city, just those three monsters." The monk has three points of ability, so he can enter the city."

Li Xiang was worried, and pinched his fingers to calculate again, consuming a small amount of demon energy and fairy spirit energy, and sure enough, there were no big monsters and immortal Buddhas in the city.

Li Xiang smiled and said: "It seems that we are scaring ourselves. By the way, Brother Monkey, have you found out why Taoist priests are persecuted?"

Brother Monkey said: "It's similar to the story you told. Two years ago, there was a drought in the Chechi country. The monarch ordered the monks and Taoists of Sanqing Temple and Zhiyuan Temple to pray for rain. Three wandering monks came from the Red Jade Mountain in Chechi's foreign country. The tiger, the deer, and the goat three monsters, these three monsters asked for heavy rain for the monks of Zhiyuan Temple, and the monarch was very happy, thinking that the Taoist priests were deceiving the world and stealing their names, and made all the Taoist priests in the Sanqing Temple serve as slaves to the monks of Zhiyuan Temple."

Li Xiang nodded and said: "Okay, I already know. Rest outside the city tonight, and we will enter the city tomorrow."

That night, Li Xiang tossed and turned in the tent and couldn't sleep. The three demons were a small matter, but the real big thing was about luck.

Is the calamity inevitable in the calamity?Obviously, as a Taoist priest, according to the original trajectory, Che Chiguo should not have encountered obstacles, but these three demons have turned to Buddhism, making this catastrophe impossible to avoid.

This is God's will?Or artificial?

Or is it said that during the calamity, the disputes cannot be stopped, and one difficulty must be overcome, and no tricks can be taken?

What Li Xiang is most worried about is Jilei Mountain. He released Hongbai that day because he didn't want to have a grudge with the Bull Demon King. He wanted to see if he could pass the [-]-mile Flame Mountain peacefully. Judging from the current situation, the conflict between Jilei Mountain and the Bull Demon King is inevitable. opened.

The next day, Li Xiang led everyone into Decheng with dark circles under his eyes.

Seeing most of Li Xiangdao's men, some soldiers guarding the city assembled their team and raised their weapons, and came to arrest him. Brother Monkey just swung his stick in front of him, and all those knives, guns and halberds were broken.

The soldiers were terrified, so they didn't dare to do any more arrests, they just surrounded Li Xiang from a distance.

Li Xiang didn't care, went straight to Wufeng Tower, notified his name to Huangmen Guan, and handed over a letter of greeting, please come inside to report.

The officials of the Huangmen didn't dare to be negligent, and went inside to report to the king, saying: "Your Majesty, a group of Taoist priests came outside. They said they came from the Tang Dynasty and went west to seek the scriptures. They wanted to change Guanwen. Now Wufeng Wait in front of the building."

The monarch said angrily: "These Taoist priests have no place to seek death, so what about the patrolling officials, why don't they capture them?"

Huangmen official said: "These Taoists have their own courage and broke the soldiers' weapons, so they can't be captured."

The monarch said: "What a bold man! Mobilize people and horses, go and arrest him!"

Suddenly a minister came forward and said: "Think twice, Your Majesty, the Eastern Tang Dynasty is a big country. It is thousands of miles away, and there are many evil spirits on the way. These Taoists must have some magic power to come here. I am afraid that the soldiers will not be able to capture them. Please also summon them When he enters, he must first stabilize his mind, and then invite three national teachers from Zhiyuan Temple to capture the bandits together."

The monarch heard the words and said: "It makes sense! Go and call these Taoist priests in, and then send someone to invite the national teacher."

Official Huangmen responded.

Under the guidance of the Huangmen official, Li Xiang and others entered the palace city and entered the Golden Luan Hall.

The king of Che Chi gave him a seat, and Li Xiang and others sat down one by one.

The monarch and Yan Yuese asked Li Xiang what he had seen and heard on his journey to the west. Li Xiang answered and proposed to change the customs clearance documents several times, but the monarch talked about him from left to right.

Li Xiang was amused in his heart, he was afraid that the monarch had other ideas, but he was a brave man, and Li Xiang didn't pay much attention to these three little monsters, so he made a fuss with the monarch to see what he could do next.

Not long after, the messenger shouted loudly: "The three national teachers from Zhiyuan Temple have arrived!"

The monarch was overjoyed when he heard the words, and stood up to greet him, only to see three monks coming outside.

The first one has big arms and round waist, with a full face and a raised forehead pattern forming a king character. He is wearing a cassock and a monk's robe, which does not match his face.

The second one is mediocre, with a glint of light in his eyes, and his cultivation is not ordinary.

The third is wretched temperament, with a goatee.

This should be the three monsters of Che Chiguo, the tiger, the deer, and the sheep.

The monarch greeted him and said: "The three national teachers are here, and we are far away to welcome you!"

Master Hu said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to be polite. I heard that a group of Taoist priests came to the Eastern Land Tang Dynasty. Today I will wait for the three of them to come and have a look."

Li Xiang stood up and said, "I'm waiting. What advice does the national teacher have?"

Master Hu said: "Nowadays the Dharma is widely spread, and the Taoists have only a false name. As a Taoist Quanzhen, you don't know how much essence you have acquired, what kind of supernatural powers you have cultivated?"

Li Xiang laughed and said: "Even though I have taught the true Taoism, but the national teacher is a disciple of Buddhism, how can he understand it?"

Master Hu said: "Before I converted to Buddhism, I also learned Taoist classics, and I am well versed in the five thunders. I am going to test my skills!"

Li Xiangdao: "National teacher is so arrogant! You don't agree with the Taoist scriptures in your heart, and you convert to Buddhism. What face do you have to teach us?"

Master Hu said: "When we convert to Buddhism, we have seen the mysteries of Buddhism, and I want to compare it with the Taoist scriptures you mentioned."

Li Xiangdao: "I don't know where the national teacher learned the mystery of Buddhism?"

Master Hu said: "I have great virtues and high merits to teach."

Li Xiang sneered in his heart. Sure enough, the grassroots three monsters in the original book have now found the backstage of Buddhism. I want to see, which buddha and bodhisattva who doesn't have long eyes dare to tease my tiger's beard!

Don't you see the lessons learned from Manjusri Bodhisattva?

Just as Li Xiang was about to speak, Master Lu was a little impatient and shouted: "Taoist! Stop talking nonsense! Today I will compete with you. If your Taoist scriptures are not as profound as my Buddhist ones, I will let you know. Chi Country is a place where Buddhas are worshiped, it is easy for Taoists to come in, but not easy to get out!"

Li Xiangdao: "How to compete, please ask the national teacher to draw the road!"

Master Lu was about to speak when the messenger said loudly: "Your Majesty, the people gathered outside the Wufeng Building have said that there has been no rain for many days. I implore the master to use the wonderful method and ask for the rain to irrigate the crops."

Master Hu rolled his eyes and said, "Taoist, today I will compete with you in the art of summoning wind and rain! Do you dare to fight?"

Li Xiang cast a glance at Little Naolong, and said, "Why don't you dare!"

The monarch was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said: "Taoists of the Tang Dynasty, why do I worship Buddha and destroy Taoism? Just because I prayed for rain back then, I never asked for a single drop from the Taoist priests. Fortunately, the master came from the sky to save the misery. You have come from afar, and our country Teacher gambling, if you can ask for a rain of rain to save the people, I will switch Guan Wen and let you go west. If you are just a tongue-tied person with no skills, I will take you to the execution ground and punish everyone! "

Li Xiang said with a smile: "Just begging for rain, Xiao Daoer, please see what I can do, Your Majesty."

When the monarch heard the words, he ordered the mandala to be cleaned, and drove to Wufeng Tower to watch.

Li Xiang and others followed, and they went to Wufeng Tower to wait.

When I was young, an official flew over to report: "The altar of praying for rain has been prepared, please come to the altar to perform the dharma!"
