Shuoshu (24)
Life is like a piece of shit.
There are always things that will appear when you don't expect them.
This thing is a shit-stirring stick.
It will make your already miserable life worse and worse.Let you deeply understand that in life, besides painful things, there will be more painful things.
Chongjiu has always felt that Princess Wansheng is the biggest shit-stirring stick in his life.
Now, this shit-stirring stick has gone far away, completely disappearing from his life.
It's a pity that just as Chong Jiu wanted to clap his hands and sing loudly, another shit-stirring stick followed and came to stir up trouble again.
For example, now, physically and mentally exhausted, hangover, and another day of cloud driving, even a monster is exhausted to death.Chong Jiu originally wanted to have a good sleep and rest, but someone refused to allow him to do so and wanted to disturb him.
Qi Yue directly entered Chong Jiu's room without knocking on the door.
"What's the matter?" Chong Jiu asked wearily.
"It's okay, come in and take a look." Qi Yue sat on the edge of the bed very familiarly, "Sleep if you want."
Chong Jiu closed his eyes, intending to sleep.
Qi Yue also kept his word, quietly, without disturbing him.
It seems that there are times when the shit stirrer doesn't stir shit.
However, just as he was about to fall asleep, Kiyue got up again.
Qi Yue's movements were very light, as if he was afraid of disturbing the sleeping person, but to Chong Jiu's ears, it was like an annoying mosquito, and he couldn't help but ignore it.
Sure enough, a mountain is still a mountain, water is still water, a shit stick is still a shit stick.
He raised one eyelid wearily, and looked at Kiyue.
"You can't sleep?" Qi Yue was about to leave, when he saw Chong Jiu woke up, he sat back and said naturally, "If you can't sleep, let me chat with you."
Chong Jiu was very helpless: "I have nine mouths, I can talk to myself."
"That's fine." Qi Yue raised Erlang's legs, "You guys talk, I'll listen and never interrupt."
Chongjiu: ...
"Why, are you still embarrassed?" Qi Yue said, "Could it be that you still talk about shameful things with yourself?"
Chongjiu: ...
"Then let's talk about Buddha relics." Qi Yue said, "When are you going to investigate this matter?"
"Why do you ask this?" Chong Jiu said.
"I want to supervise you." Qi Yue's tone was very natural.
"Just say you're bored."
"It's really a bit boring." Qi Yue said.He just slept on the cloud for a day, and now he is very energetic.
"Sigh." Chong Jiu sighed and sat up, "Then let's investigate."
……
Qi Yue told Chong Jiu about the Buddha's relic completely.
What he said was not very logical. For example, what happened at the imperial banquet would always focus on the dishes on the banquet.
It was not easy for Chong Jiu to understand.
Qi Yue regretted not asking Avalokitesvara on Putuo Mountain. As the host and chief planner of the scripture learning project, Avalokitesvara must know some inside information.It's a pity that Qi Yue didn't think to ask when he was on Putuo Mountain, and it would be too troublesome to go back now.
"Let's ask the abbot of Jinguang Temple first." Chongjiu said, "Since the Buddha said that there is no Buddhist relic in Jisai Kingdom, where did the fake of Jinguang Temple come from?"
Qi Yue nodded, and the two went to the backyard together.
The abbot has fallen asleep.
But the little novice monk outside the abbot's door knew what he was coming for, so he went to call the abbot.
"Since you're already asleep, there's no need to bother." Qi Yue waved his hands busy, "Anyway, there's no rush, and it's the same if I ask the abbot tomorrow."
"Buddha's relic is a major national event and cannot be delayed." The little novice said, and then insisted on entering the house to wake up the abbot.
After the abbot woke up, he hurriedly invited the two of them in.
"Master Abbot." Qi Yue went in and said straight to the point, "How did your monastery get this Buddhist relic?"
"You ask this." The abbot thought for a while, and said slowly, "The countries in the Western Regions all uphold Buddhism. The same is true for the Jisai country. A pagoda is a hundred steps away, and a temple is a thousand steps away."
"More than a hundred years ago, the king of Jisai State at that time moved the Buddha with his kindness, and the Buddha sent down auspiciousness and bestowed the Buddha's relic. For this reason, the king specially built a temple to enshrine the Buddha's relic. This temple, It is Jinguang Temple."
"What does the Buddha relic look like?" Qi Yue asked.
"It's about an inch long, and the whole body is pure white. It's neither gold nor wood, it's like jade or stone." The abbot said.
Qi Yue and Chong Jiu looked at each other, stood up, and put their palms together: "Thank you abbot, I will take my leave now."
"Buddha's relics are the treasure of offering sacrifices to Saiguo and the country. If this treasure is lost, the people of Manchuria will suffer great disaster." The abbot looked sad, got up and made a big gift to the two people, "I thank you for the people. benefactor."
"The abbot doesn't need to be too polite." The two quickly helped the old monk up.
The abbot has been watching the two go out.
After walking far, Qi Yue turned his head and saw the old abbot standing by the door, watching them off, his eyes full of expectation.
Qi Yue's mind was confused, and his heart was also confused. He thought about some things in a mess, and finally sighed.
He asked softly, "What do you think is going on here?"
Chong Jiu did not answer.Qi Yue looked over with dissatisfaction, and saw that he was thinking about something, and he was in a daze.
Qi Yue bumped him with his shoulder: "Hey, what are you thinking?"
Before Chongjiu could answer, Qi Yue jokingly asked, "Isn't he thinking of me?"
Chongjiu: ...
Qi Yue ignored him, and guessed on his own: "Could it be that the king made a mistake? He took the fake as the real one, and then someone stole the fake?"
"It's not that simple." Chong Jiu stopped and said.
"Oh, then tell me, what's going on here?" Qi became more interested and asked closer.
"You still don't understand." After Chong Jiu finished speaking, with his hands behind his back, he raised his legs and walked forward.
Qi Yue gave a middle finger behind Chong Jiu: "Cut!"
Qi Yue caught up with Chong Jiu in a few steps, and slapped him hard on the back: "Hey, just tell me."
Now, Chong Jiu said: "The king is not a good man."
"Could the king lie? But why? What is the king's motive? Why would he lie and lie to everyone that he had stolen a Buddhist relic?" Qi Yue was puzzled.
"Why think so much." Chong Jiu said, "We don't need to think about so many things."
"Then what do we need to consider?"
"There is no need to think about anything." Chong Jiu said, "Just ask him if he is right."
"If you ask him, he will tell you? Who do you think you are?" Qi Yue sneered.
"Ask, if you can't figure it out, then beat him up and ask again. If you still can't figure it out, keep beating him. I don't believe it anymore." Chong Jiu sneered, his peach blossom eyes were full of fierceness.
Chongjiu is a monster.He is not a rabbit spirit or a sheep spirit, but a fierce and rebellious nine-headed worm.
However, it happened that one day Mercury was retrograde, and he didn't look at the almanac before he went out. As a result, his luck was unlucky, and he hit a disaster star, and even hit two in a row, and was severely bullied.Only then did he calm down a little, and he was always obedient in front of Qi Yue.But his demeanor is sometimes a bit domineering.
"Young man, don't shout and kill all day long, you're not a local hooligan." Prayer Star said with a smile, "Now you are the mount of a Buddhist monk, you can't be so arrogant when you do things, you should always say some rules, right? "
When he mentioned the mount, Chong Jiu felt a sense of powerlessness towards fate.He was tired for a while, and the previous arrogance suddenly disappeared.
Chong Jiu continued to walk, but Qi Yue suddenly came up and put his arms around his shoulders.
The two walked side by side, Chong Jiu's muscles were a little stiff, he was not used to such intimate contact, he felt weird.
Qi Yue leaned close to his ear and chuckled lightly: "However, I like this style."
……
Yu Jing is a small yellow croaker in the South China Sea.
The sun was warm and the Buddha's light was shining everywhere, so he swam around Putuo again as usual.
A fish spends its whole life swimming like this all the time.
In the morning, he saw Avalokitesvara brought some female fairies back.When Guanyin came to the gate of the mountain, he rushed up angrily.
Yu Jing's family has lived here for generations. He has been swimming at the gate of Mount Putuo for more than ten years since he was a child.Yu Jing dared to swear to God, he had never seen such an angry Guanyin.
Of course, Yu Jing's memory is not very good, let alone more than ten years, he doesn't remember anything that happened more than ten days ago.
Yu Jing was very timid, and when he saw Avalokitesvara furious, he was so frightened that he hid in the water.But he waited for a long time, but did not hear any movement from Putuo Island.
This is not normal!
When he surfaced cautiously, he saw two men leaving Putuo on a cloud.One of them turned into a nine-headed monster in mid-air.
Yu Jing watched them leave curiously.
After lunch, Yu Jing came to swim at the gate of Putuo again.
He saw Avalokitesvara and several female fairies who had come in the morning left Putuo.
Yu Jing swears that he has never seen such a happy Guanyin.
How did the Bodhisattva change so quickly?Yu Jing was very puzzled.Usually, Avalokitesvara doesn't show her emotions, her likes and dislikes, she keeps a smiling face all day long, but she doesn't seem to be smiling at all, and it's impossible to tell how she's in the mood.
It's rare to see Guanyin showing emotion once, but today, I saw it twice, which is really strange.
Yu Jing sighed and continued to swim.
At this time, he found that the boy of Shancai was approaching the seaside with the jade bottle of Guanyin.
Yu Jing raised his tail suspiciously and stood on the water to watch.
Seeing Shancai reached the shore, he raised the bottle and started pouring it.A green liquid flowed out of the bottle continuously, poured into the South China Sea, and a faint fragrance could be smelled from a distance.
All the nearby big fish, small fish, shrimps and crabs rushed towards it.
Yu Jing also hurried forward, although he didn't know what it was, but what was in Guanyin's bottle was of course a good thing!
What's more, if you don't eat something for free, don't eat it for free.
Fight!Relying on his small size, Yu Jing got through a large group of sea monsters.
He swam close, jumped up in mid-air, and sucked the green liquid with his mouth open.
He has never drank such a delicious thing, mellow and sweet, with endless aftertaste.
More importantly, he felt that he was hot from the beginning to the end, which was very likely a sign that his cultivation was about to break through.
Ancestors appear!My Yu family is finally going to have a successful offspring!
Tears welled up in Yu Jing's eyes, and when he was not careful, he was squeezed aside by a scallop spirit behind him.
Yu Jing regained his spirit and continued to move forward.
All the Krakens went crazy, jumped out of the water one after another, desperately trying to grab the green liquid.
……
Qi Yue and Chong Jiu discussed for a long time, but they still didn't enter the palace and went directly to question the king.
Because, if you can't ask, it's not easy to call directly.
This king is different from ordinary people, he will be protected by heaven.If you fight and cause karma, there will be endless troubles.
But the protection of heaven is just a rule.Since it is a rule, there must be loopholes.The two are gods (monsters) after all, and besides beating people to extract confessions, there are many, many methods that can be used.
Qi Yue didn't think of a more suitable method for the time being, but said: "Let's go to the palace first, wait for the opportunity, and find a chance to find out the truth."
"For example?" Chong Jiu asked.
"We can get him drunk and make him tell the truth after drinking, or scare him and make him tell the truth." Qi Yue joked.
"That's right." Qi Yue suddenly thought of something, "Have you ever heard of a kind of medicine, after drinking it, you can honestly explain all your problems."
"I've never heard of it." Chong Jiu thought for a while, "Where did you hear this stuff?"
"It's fine if you don't have it, but I just remembered that I heard people say that the West has it. It's called Veritaserum." Qi Yue said enthusiastically, "Then I'll go out and prepare something."
"Preparing for what?" Chong Jiu asked.
"Hehe. It was something that sneaked into the palace at that time." Qi Yue smiled meanly, and blinked his eyes pretending to be mysterious.
……
Shuoshu (25)
edge of the South China Sea.
Several fairies are tweeting:
"There is no need to send it away, Bodhisattvas, please return."
"We are very happy to be entertained by several Bodhisattvas during this trip to Honghuang. Tomorrow, we will also invite Honghuang's sisters to sit with us."
"I really look forward to the next time I come to Honghuang, the third prince Ao is pregnant."
They chattered again, sent another trip, chatted for a long time, and then waved goodbye.
After seeing off the Brahman guests, Guanyin and Buddhist nymphs also went back to their homes.
On the way back, Guanyin kept smiling.
The South China Sea is calm and sunny.
She is in a really good mood!
Good, very good, very good, very good!
Avalokitesvara is a very compassionate person. Back then, she made a great vow that if she did not do great things to benefit the common people in the world, she would not become a Buddha.Therefore, although Guanyin's status and strength are higher than many Buddhas, she is still not a Buddha.
Although Avalokitesvara doesn't think too much about becoming a Buddha, she is very enterprising. After all these years, she still feels a little regretful.But she has worked hard for so many years, but she has never found a chance to become a Buddha.
And allowing men to have children can barely be regarded as benefiting the common people.Coupled with the merits accumulated in the past.
Maybe this is the opportunity for me to become a Buddha.Avalokitesvara thought happily, put her hands together with a smile, and said a few words "Amitabha".
At the door of the house, Guanyin's good mood remained undiminished.
She lowered her head by chance, huh?Why is it that Putuo Island is so convenient, the crabs are all lying on the sea with their bellies turned upside down?
Could it be an infectious disease?Avalokitesvara was startled, and reached out to rescue the bottle and willow branches.
But she wasted no time, because she didn't bring a bottle, nor did she bring any magical artifacts or medicines.
She quickly lowered the altitude, looked down, and found that these sea monsters were very vigorous, and they didn't look like they were sick.
After observing for a long time, Guanyin didn't know what was going on.She wondered for a while, forget it, anyway, no one is sick or dead, so whoever cares, maybe someone likes to dance belly dance.
Back in Putuo, Guanyin laughed again when he saw that Black Bear was (pretending) cleaning up, picking up the fruit peels and confetti left by guests, and Red Boy was (pretending) washing his precious bottles.
In Putuo Mountain, there are bursts of spring breeze and warmth.
Outside Putuo Mountain, there is a faint sound of Buddha, and the light of Buddha.
"Bodhisattva, your bottle!" Red Boy handed the jade bottle to Guanyin.
"Shancai is becoming more and more sensible." Guanyin took the bottle and praised it by the way.
Although this bottle still smells a little bit of alcohol, but, why bother with a child about such a trivial matter.
Avalokitesvara thought to herself, let's praise the children more. During the equal rights meeting, there will be a few female fairies imparting parenting experience, saying that praise can make children more confident and conducive to their healthy growth.
The black bear spirit on the side looked at Guanyin strangely, why does this Bodhisattva look like a different person?
Seeing Hei Xiong Jing looking at him, Guanyin also smiled at him: "Xiao Hei is becoming more and more sensible."
After speaking, she took the bottle and walked back to her room.
Her steps are very light.
The two of them who looked at each other in blank dismay were left behind.
……
Qi Yue enthusiastically prepared a set of outfits: night clothes, masks, ecstasy incense, and a wooden stick in each hand.
He took them all from a small hotel in the wilderness.
As for why there is such a guy who robs a house in a small wilderness hotel, it is not known.
Chong Jiu was quite speechless: "Are you sure we need these things to sneak into the palace?"
"Of course." Qi Yue put on his night clothes and said very seriously, "Since we are in the mortal world, we must follow the rules of mortals."
This is still boring, Chongjiu thought.
But in fact, Chong Jiu also began to look forward to it in his heart.
After all, as a monster, he lived for thousands of years, and then stayed in the Bibotan all day, ate and slept, occasionally practiced martial arts, and was enslaved by the Halloween princess as a coolie. There was no entertainment at all.
Whether it is a human, a demon, or a fairy, they are always looking for some weird things to decorate their boring life.Even the top group of sons and daughters in the Three Realms still have to find time to get together and gossip.It's not that they like to gossip about others, it's because life is boring and they can't find other more interesting activities.
……
Ji Saiguo Palace, Study Room.
The king was sitting at the table, counting a list.
"Your Majesty." The guard outside the door shouted, "Prime Minister, please see me."
"Please," said the king without looking up.
The aged prime minister entered the study room, greeted him, and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, the news has already been spread."
The king gave a "hmm" without raising his head, and signaled the prime minister to continue.
"In the country of Jisai, all the people knew that His Majesty was going to lead the soldiers to the dangerous place to find the nine-headed worm for the sake of the relic. The people all felt the majesty of the king's grace and cried bitterly. There were more than four hundred The common people are still kneeling at the gate of the palace, begging His Majesty not to go in person for the sake of offering sacrifices to the country."
"Oh." The king sighed.
The old prime minister continued: "[-]% of the people in the city have donated all their wealth and are willing to serve as soldiers. Another [-]% of the people donated half of their wealth. Others, more or less Donate."
"That's not enough." The king continued to sigh, "Go on and build momentum."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The old prime minister nodded.
"Also, add more taxes. At this moment, the people are all focused on getting back the relics. Even if the taxes are heavy, there will be no complaints." The king thought for a while and said.
"Yes." The old prime minister said, "However, after the tax increase on the pretext that the relics were stolen last time, the people have very little left, and I'm afraid there will not be much left."
The king snorted coldly: "Not many, but there are always some. Just like refined beans, if you squeeze them again, there will always be some."
……
The sky is full of stars.
Qi Yue and Chong Jiu stood on the roof.
The royal palace of Jisai City is on a small hill in the center of the city, and at their feet is the highest palace in the royal palace.
Looking around, you can see that the square in front of the palace is brightly lit, and there are dense crowds kneeling.Behind the crowd, there are dark houses and city walls, and outside the city, there is endless blackness.
When it was dark, they had already entered the palace.
Under Qi Yue's strong request, they did not use the invisibility spell, but put on night clothes, and flew in like two big birds under the night.
Qi overcomes his addiction to become a martial arts master.
When it was early morning, the two jumped off the roof.
Qi Yue held up his stick, and when he saw the guard, he went up and knocked him unconscious with a stick.
After knocking a few times, Qi Yue began to feel bored, so he simply used the freeze technique to fix one by one.He didn't hide his figure either, he just walked ahead in a swaggering manner.
Chong Jiu couldn't help asking: "If this is the case, why do we still wear night clothes?"
"You don't understand." Qi Yue waved his hand, "Everyone in the world wears this at night."
Qi Yue leads the way.
But Chongjiu thought, why is this getting more and more remote?
But he didn't make another sound, and followed Qi Yue obediently.
After walking for a long time, they came to a small courtyard.
Chong Jiu raised his head and saw three large characters on the plaque in front of him: Imperial Dining Room.
Qi Yue smiled: "Have some supper first, and then go to business."
Chongjiu: ...
After eating and drinking enough, Qi Yue packed a bag before they headed to the king's bedroom.
The king's bedroom is not gorgeous, it's just a half-old courtyard.
Qi Yue first stood at the gate of the courtyard, pricked up his ears and listened. His hearing was very good, and he couldn't hide any disturbances in the courtyard from him.After finding that there was no strange sound, he gently pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.
In the courtyard, there were quite a few guards standing, chatting in low voices, and when they saw someone pushing the door open, they all hurriedly took up their weapons.
Seeing that there were only two people coming, and they were very arrogant, they were obviously taken aback.
As soon as Chong Jiu raised his hand at them, the guards staggered and fell asleep completely.
This kind of kung fu is a good skill in robbing houses.Qi Yue thought to himself, it's a pity that ordinary people have nothing worth stealing.
The two came to the window outside the house.
Qi Yue stretched out his finger, licked it twice, and then lightly pierced the window paper.
He carefully lit the incense, and put it in through the small hole poked out.
"What is this?" Chong Jiu couldn't help asking.
"Mixiang." Qi Yue chuckled softly, "It's used in the mortal world to stun people."
Seeing that Qiyue was very interested, Chongjiu accompanied him and waited slowly for Mixiang to erupt.Anyway, for gods and monsters, the most indispensable thing is time.
After waiting for a while, Qi Yue quietly opened the door and walked in.
He sniffed the room, only to feel the smell of inferior mosquito coils, so he hurriedly opened the windows to ventilate.
Qi Yue waved his hand and directed Chong Jiu: "Go! Scared him to death!"
……
Shuoshu (26)
He had a good night's sleep.
Then, I had a good dream.
At that time, he was still young.Grandpa led him out of the capital.
He saw many things that were different from those in the palace. For the first time, he knew that there were such poor people in his own country.
They stopped by a leek field.When the people working in the fields saw the king, they came to bow down one after another.The people offered the most precious things of their homes, lest they neglect their King.
However, as a prince and grandson, he doesn't like these things at all.Without looking at them, he threw them on the ground.
His benevolent grandfather beat him for the first time, in front of many people and courtiers.
He was wronged, not angry, and didn't understand where he was wrong.
Grandpa led him, and the two climbed up the hill beside the field.
Grandpa pointed to the field at the foot of the mountain and said, "Those people are like leeks. Once they grow, they will grow again. When you are a king, the most important thing is not to harvest it yourself with a knife. , but to gain the trust of the leeks and let them cut themselves willingly.
"So, in front of leeks, you must act as if you love the people like a son."
He seemed to understand.
It was also that day that Grandpa told him the secret of Ji Sai Kingdom.
It turned out that the Buddhist relic, which was regarded as a national treasure in Jisai Kingdom, was a fake.
He didn't understand at all why a fake was needed as a national treasure.
Grandpa smiled and gave him his own example: "Once, I ordered someone to go to Jinguang Temple and secretly took the relics. Then, I told the leeks that the Buddha relics were stolen by robbers. What about those leeks?" I don’t understand, I took the opportunity to raise taxes and sent people to rob several big households, but Leek thought it was retribution for the theft of Buddha relics. In this way, a lot of wealth from Leeks went into the palace. Moreover, they vented their dissatisfaction to Jinguang Temple, which guards the relics. I followed the people's will and severely punished a few monks, and the leeks loved me even more.
"Later, I used the excuse of crusade against thieves to recruit soldiers from Leek. I then recruited people to serve in the army, and then treated them as slaves. Some were sent to fight, some were sold to other countries far away, and some were killed directly. Avoid the rebellion of these strong leeks. When the leeks are about to wither and start to complain, I will declare that I am a gun horse and go to retake the relics. After this incident, the leeks are grateful to me and are determined."
He was so surprised that he couldn't help asking: "But, grandpa, how can we defend the country if we kill the healthy leeks?"
"Our crisis is only internal, not external. We just need to reserve some troops to guard against rebellion." Grandpa patiently explained, "This is the Western Region, protected by the Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty, so we don't need our poor troops." troops to defend the country."
Grandpa continued: "This Buddha relic is really a national treasure, and it has other wonderful uses. For example, one year, when the harvest was not good, I secretly replaced the relic with a dull one. The name of a minister was engraved. This minister is very powerful and not very easy to deal with, but this time, without my help, the angry leeks turned their anger on this minister, and I obeyed them again and killed this minister."
He opened his mouth wide in surprise, feeling incredible.
"This fake Buddha relic has infinite uses, even more useful than the real thing." Grandpa smiled, "We can harvest leeks for hundreds of years, but we can't do without this national treasure. But grandpa is old, and the leeks haven't been fattened yet." , When you have a chance in the future, come and harvest a few crops."
"But won't anyone find out?" he asked.
"Hahaha, the reason why leeks are leeks is because they have no brains." Grandpa patted his head and said, "However, we still have to use this national treasure with caution."
He firmly remembered the teachings of his grandfather.
He succeeded to the throne and became a king, and also used this national treasure for other purposes.
But he never waited until the time to harvest leeks.
Until his position is stable and the leeks are cooked.
He heard that there was a monster named Nine-Headed Insect outside the city.
He found that this monster was a good target for "stealing" relics.Because the leeks are incapable of questioning whether the monster stole the national treasure.
He was triumphant, and he dreamed that he was waving a sickle, harvesting ripe leeks in a green field.
The wind blows and the green waves are heavy.
A knife down, cut a piece of green.The sickle was not stained with green juice, but was stained with large groups of mottled blood.
The green waves made of leeks suddenly turned into a green pool.
On the pool, blue waves surged, and a ferocious monster leaped up.
The monster is like a snake, but it has nine heads, and its eyes are all staring at him.
The monster opened its mouth, revealing rows of sharp teeth: "Say, why did you frame me!"
He shivered: "You, who are you?"
"You framed me, you framed me, you framed me..." The monster kept yelling at him, and the snake letter got closer and closer to him.
He could only lower his head tremblingly and kept shaking his hands: "I, I, I don't, I don't."
"I am the Hydra of Bibotan." The monster sneered, "I didn't steal any Buddha relics, who took that relic!"
He couldn't help but knelt down, completely losing the dignity of the king of a country: "I, I don't know, I don't know anything."
The monster sneered, opened nine giant mouths at the same time, and bit him.
"I, I said, I said, I said." He was so frightened that he peed out, and uttered all the secrets of Jisai's national treasure.
"Then what about the soldiers you recruited to attack me under the pretext?"
He fell on the ground and knelt down, "Some were killed, and there are mausoleums, mausoleums, and I sent them to repair the mausoleums!"
He heard a snort above his head.
He raised his head tremblingly, and saw a familiar young man in white standing on top of Hydra's head.The young man was holding a bag containing food from the imperial dining room in one hand, and in the other hand, he was holding a mirror made of water.
"You, you are a disciple of Monk Datang..."
Before he could finish speaking, the young man jumped down and kicked him unconscious.
"What is that mirror in your hand for?" Chong Jiu asked.
Qi Yue cast several spells in succession: "This is called a video recorder."
……
royal tomb.
Among the white snow-capped mountains, white marble.
Also, there are layers of white dry bones.
Most of the people who built the royal tomb were exhausted to death, and some who tried to escape were killed by guarding soldiers.
Qi Yue knocked out the soldiers guarding the people in Xiuling.
As for more, he couldn't do it any more.
Let the gods return to the gods, and let the mortal return to the mortal.Qi Yue should not intervene too much in personnel affairs.
He released the people who built the tomb, believing that they were the best witnesses.
When we got back, it was almost dawn.
Qi Yue took out the packed things, heated them with spells, and had breakfast with Chong Jiu before returning to Jinguang Temple.
As usual, Tang Seng got up early to do morning classes.
Seeing Qi Yue and Chong Jiu, he was very surprised: "Huh? Where have you been?"
"Master." Qi Yue took out some steamed buns, "I went to buy you breakfast."
Tang Seng was very happy that his apprentice was so filial. He took it and took a bite: "This steamed bun tastes really good."
"That is." Qi Yue smiled.
Like a windy man, Zhu Bajie suddenly closed his eyes and floated out of the room. He took a steamed bun from Qi Yue's hand and stuffed it in with one mouthful.
"Xiaobai, where did you buy it?" Zhu Bajie opened his eyes in surprise, and said, "It looks like what you ate at the king's royal banquet a few days ago."
"I bought it from the imperial dining room." Qi Yue smiled and gave Zhu Bajie another one.
"Master." Qi Yue said, "Let's go."
"Are you finished with the relic?" Tang Seng asked.
"Of course." Qi Yue patted his chest.
"Okay." Tang Seng didn't ask any more questions, "Then I'll go and talk to the abbot of Jinguang Temple."
Several people woke up Monkey King and Drifting, and went to pack their luggage.
Qi Yue didn't have anything, Chong Jiu only had a few books, which were carried in a bag.
Qi Yue took out a book out of curiosity, and opened a page casually.
"Shu Shu Shu Shu, without food I will be... Shu Shu Shuo Shu, without food I will be wheat... Shu Shu Shu Shu, without food I will be seedlings..."
"What is this writing about?" Qi Yue didn't quite understand it, so he closed it boredly and looked at the cover, "The Book of Songs, it's really boring."
They packed their luggage, said goodbye to the monks of Jinguang Temple, and walked to the street.
The streets were crowded with people, men and women, old and young, all the people of the city came out and rushed towards the palace.
When passing by the gate of the palace, I saw a large group of people gathered there, and the people were crying, choking with sobs, crying, cursing, beating and rushing forward.
Qi Yue even saw the old man who he had given the emerald to, he followed the flow of people blankly and at a loss.
The old man's face was like a completely dead tree bark, without any vitality.In his hand, he was holding a spirit tablet carved from broken wood.
Qi Yue still vaguely remembered that the old man said that his son was sent to build a fortification against the nine-headed worm.
Qi Yue sighed, walked through the crowd, and left here.
Sun Wukong likes to join in the fun, he squeezed into the crowd, and after a long time, he came out again.
"What happened there?" Tang Seng looked at the crowd.
"Hey, I heard that the king was frightened and went crazy. He kept saying that he shouldn't frame the Nine-Headed God. A group of people broke into the palace and found a lot of treasures. Tsk tsk, they have been accumulated for hundreds of years, and they are almost piled up into mountains." Sun Wukong said, "There is an even more strange thing. There is something broadcasting at the pool at the entrance of the palace. It is a picture of the king confessing his crime."
"It's really strange." Tang Seng asked, "What is this thing?"
"Who knows? I heard from the people that there are gods appearing." Sun Wukong glanced at Qiyue who was walking in front, "But, according to my grandson, this seems to be something that the Xihai aquarium likes to play."
Tang Seng put his palms together and said "Amitabha".
Chong Jiu smiled: "He said, this is called a water curtain movie."
……
Outside the city, people were farming in the fields.
They worked hard to cut the wheat and leeks in the fields...
They worked tirelessly day and night, hoping that this year's harvest would be enough to pay taxes.
Without Buddha relics, they will believe in other things.Without the sacrificial royal family, they would still be ruled by other kings.
The leeks that grow in the fields will always be harvested.
They were tired from work, looked up to rest, and saw a big black snake.
The big snake meandered across the field and headed into the distance.
On the body of the snake, there is a monk with his eyes closed and chanting sutras.Behind him were three strange-looking monks.
Beside the snake is a snake driver holding a small stick.
Life is like a piece of shit.
There are always things that will appear when you don't expect them.
This thing is a shit-stirring stick.
It will make your already miserable life worse and worse.Let you deeply understand that in life, besides painful things, there will be more painful things.
Chongjiu has always felt that Princess Wansheng is the biggest shit-stirring stick in his life.
Now, this shit-stirring stick has gone far away, completely disappearing from his life.
It's a pity that just as Chong Jiu wanted to clap his hands and sing loudly, another shit-stirring stick followed and came to stir up trouble again.
For example, now, physically and mentally exhausted, hangover, and another day of cloud driving, even a monster is exhausted to death.Chong Jiu originally wanted to have a good sleep and rest, but someone refused to allow him to do so and wanted to disturb him.
Qi Yue directly entered Chong Jiu's room without knocking on the door.
"What's the matter?" Chong Jiu asked wearily.
"It's okay, come in and take a look." Qi Yue sat on the edge of the bed very familiarly, "Sleep if you want."
Chong Jiu closed his eyes, intending to sleep.
Qi Yue also kept his word, quietly, without disturbing him.
It seems that there are times when the shit stirrer doesn't stir shit.
However, just as he was about to fall asleep, Kiyue got up again.
Qi Yue's movements were very light, as if he was afraid of disturbing the sleeping person, but to Chong Jiu's ears, it was like an annoying mosquito, and he couldn't help but ignore it.
Sure enough, a mountain is still a mountain, water is still water, a shit stick is still a shit stick.
He raised one eyelid wearily, and looked at Kiyue.
"You can't sleep?" Qi Yue was about to leave, when he saw Chong Jiu woke up, he sat back and said naturally, "If you can't sleep, let me chat with you."
Chong Jiu was very helpless: "I have nine mouths, I can talk to myself."
"That's fine." Qi Yue raised Erlang's legs, "You guys talk, I'll listen and never interrupt."
Chongjiu: ...
"Why, are you still embarrassed?" Qi Yue said, "Could it be that you still talk about shameful things with yourself?"
Chongjiu: ...
"Then let's talk about Buddha relics." Qi Yue said, "When are you going to investigate this matter?"
"Why do you ask this?" Chong Jiu said.
"I want to supervise you." Qi Yue's tone was very natural.
"Just say you're bored."
"It's really a bit boring." Qi Yue said.He just slept on the cloud for a day, and now he is very energetic.
"Sigh." Chong Jiu sighed and sat up, "Then let's investigate."
……
Qi Yue told Chong Jiu about the Buddha's relic completely.
What he said was not very logical. For example, what happened at the imperial banquet would always focus on the dishes on the banquet.
It was not easy for Chong Jiu to understand.
Qi Yue regretted not asking Avalokitesvara on Putuo Mountain. As the host and chief planner of the scripture learning project, Avalokitesvara must know some inside information.It's a pity that Qi Yue didn't think to ask when he was on Putuo Mountain, and it would be too troublesome to go back now.
"Let's ask the abbot of Jinguang Temple first." Chongjiu said, "Since the Buddha said that there is no Buddhist relic in Jisai Kingdom, where did the fake of Jinguang Temple come from?"
Qi Yue nodded, and the two went to the backyard together.
The abbot has fallen asleep.
But the little novice monk outside the abbot's door knew what he was coming for, so he went to call the abbot.
"Since you're already asleep, there's no need to bother." Qi Yue waved his hands busy, "Anyway, there's no rush, and it's the same if I ask the abbot tomorrow."
"Buddha's relic is a major national event and cannot be delayed." The little novice said, and then insisted on entering the house to wake up the abbot.
After the abbot woke up, he hurriedly invited the two of them in.
"Master Abbot." Qi Yue went in and said straight to the point, "How did your monastery get this Buddhist relic?"
"You ask this." The abbot thought for a while, and said slowly, "The countries in the Western Regions all uphold Buddhism. The same is true for the Jisai country. A pagoda is a hundred steps away, and a temple is a thousand steps away."
"More than a hundred years ago, the king of Jisai State at that time moved the Buddha with his kindness, and the Buddha sent down auspiciousness and bestowed the Buddha's relic. For this reason, the king specially built a temple to enshrine the Buddha's relic. This temple, It is Jinguang Temple."
"What does the Buddha relic look like?" Qi Yue asked.
"It's about an inch long, and the whole body is pure white. It's neither gold nor wood, it's like jade or stone." The abbot said.
Qi Yue and Chong Jiu looked at each other, stood up, and put their palms together: "Thank you abbot, I will take my leave now."
"Buddha's relics are the treasure of offering sacrifices to Saiguo and the country. If this treasure is lost, the people of Manchuria will suffer great disaster." The abbot looked sad, got up and made a big gift to the two people, "I thank you for the people. benefactor."
"The abbot doesn't need to be too polite." The two quickly helped the old monk up.
The abbot has been watching the two go out.
After walking far, Qi Yue turned his head and saw the old abbot standing by the door, watching them off, his eyes full of expectation.
Qi Yue's mind was confused, and his heart was also confused. He thought about some things in a mess, and finally sighed.
He asked softly, "What do you think is going on here?"
Chong Jiu did not answer.Qi Yue looked over with dissatisfaction, and saw that he was thinking about something, and he was in a daze.
Qi Yue bumped him with his shoulder: "Hey, what are you thinking?"
Before Chongjiu could answer, Qi Yue jokingly asked, "Isn't he thinking of me?"
Chongjiu: ...
Qi Yue ignored him, and guessed on his own: "Could it be that the king made a mistake? He took the fake as the real one, and then someone stole the fake?"
"It's not that simple." Chong Jiu stopped and said.
"Oh, then tell me, what's going on here?" Qi became more interested and asked closer.
"You still don't understand." After Chong Jiu finished speaking, with his hands behind his back, he raised his legs and walked forward.
Qi Yue gave a middle finger behind Chong Jiu: "Cut!"
Qi Yue caught up with Chong Jiu in a few steps, and slapped him hard on the back: "Hey, just tell me."
Now, Chong Jiu said: "The king is not a good man."
"Could the king lie? But why? What is the king's motive? Why would he lie and lie to everyone that he had stolen a Buddhist relic?" Qi Yue was puzzled.
"Why think so much." Chong Jiu said, "We don't need to think about so many things."
"Then what do we need to consider?"
"There is no need to think about anything." Chong Jiu said, "Just ask him if he is right."
"If you ask him, he will tell you? Who do you think you are?" Qi Yue sneered.
"Ask, if you can't figure it out, then beat him up and ask again. If you still can't figure it out, keep beating him. I don't believe it anymore." Chong Jiu sneered, his peach blossom eyes were full of fierceness.
Chongjiu is a monster.He is not a rabbit spirit or a sheep spirit, but a fierce and rebellious nine-headed worm.
However, it happened that one day Mercury was retrograde, and he didn't look at the almanac before he went out. As a result, his luck was unlucky, and he hit a disaster star, and even hit two in a row, and was severely bullied.Only then did he calm down a little, and he was always obedient in front of Qi Yue.But his demeanor is sometimes a bit domineering.
"Young man, don't shout and kill all day long, you're not a local hooligan." Prayer Star said with a smile, "Now you are the mount of a Buddhist monk, you can't be so arrogant when you do things, you should always say some rules, right? "
When he mentioned the mount, Chong Jiu felt a sense of powerlessness towards fate.He was tired for a while, and the previous arrogance suddenly disappeared.
Chong Jiu continued to walk, but Qi Yue suddenly came up and put his arms around his shoulders.
The two walked side by side, Chong Jiu's muscles were a little stiff, he was not used to such intimate contact, he felt weird.
Qi Yue leaned close to his ear and chuckled lightly: "However, I like this style."
……
Yu Jing is a small yellow croaker in the South China Sea.
The sun was warm and the Buddha's light was shining everywhere, so he swam around Putuo again as usual.
A fish spends its whole life swimming like this all the time.
In the morning, he saw Avalokitesvara brought some female fairies back.When Guanyin came to the gate of the mountain, he rushed up angrily.
Yu Jing's family has lived here for generations. He has been swimming at the gate of Mount Putuo for more than ten years since he was a child.Yu Jing dared to swear to God, he had never seen such an angry Guanyin.
Of course, Yu Jing's memory is not very good, let alone more than ten years, he doesn't remember anything that happened more than ten days ago.
Yu Jing was very timid, and when he saw Avalokitesvara furious, he was so frightened that he hid in the water.But he waited for a long time, but did not hear any movement from Putuo Island.
This is not normal!
When he surfaced cautiously, he saw two men leaving Putuo on a cloud.One of them turned into a nine-headed monster in mid-air.
Yu Jing watched them leave curiously.
After lunch, Yu Jing came to swim at the gate of Putuo again.
He saw Avalokitesvara and several female fairies who had come in the morning left Putuo.
Yu Jing swears that he has never seen such a happy Guanyin.
How did the Bodhisattva change so quickly?Yu Jing was very puzzled.Usually, Avalokitesvara doesn't show her emotions, her likes and dislikes, she keeps a smiling face all day long, but she doesn't seem to be smiling at all, and it's impossible to tell how she's in the mood.
It's rare to see Guanyin showing emotion once, but today, I saw it twice, which is really strange.
Yu Jing sighed and continued to swim.
At this time, he found that the boy of Shancai was approaching the seaside with the jade bottle of Guanyin.
Yu Jing raised his tail suspiciously and stood on the water to watch.
Seeing Shancai reached the shore, he raised the bottle and started pouring it.A green liquid flowed out of the bottle continuously, poured into the South China Sea, and a faint fragrance could be smelled from a distance.
All the nearby big fish, small fish, shrimps and crabs rushed towards it.
Yu Jing also hurried forward, although he didn't know what it was, but what was in Guanyin's bottle was of course a good thing!
What's more, if you don't eat something for free, don't eat it for free.
Fight!Relying on his small size, Yu Jing got through a large group of sea monsters.
He swam close, jumped up in mid-air, and sucked the green liquid with his mouth open.
He has never drank such a delicious thing, mellow and sweet, with endless aftertaste.
More importantly, he felt that he was hot from the beginning to the end, which was very likely a sign that his cultivation was about to break through.
Ancestors appear!My Yu family is finally going to have a successful offspring!
Tears welled up in Yu Jing's eyes, and when he was not careful, he was squeezed aside by a scallop spirit behind him.
Yu Jing regained his spirit and continued to move forward.
All the Krakens went crazy, jumped out of the water one after another, desperately trying to grab the green liquid.
……
Qi Yue and Chong Jiu discussed for a long time, but they still didn't enter the palace and went directly to question the king.
Because, if you can't ask, it's not easy to call directly.
This king is different from ordinary people, he will be protected by heaven.If you fight and cause karma, there will be endless troubles.
But the protection of heaven is just a rule.Since it is a rule, there must be loopholes.The two are gods (monsters) after all, and besides beating people to extract confessions, there are many, many methods that can be used.
Qi Yue didn't think of a more suitable method for the time being, but said: "Let's go to the palace first, wait for the opportunity, and find a chance to find out the truth."
"For example?" Chong Jiu asked.
"We can get him drunk and make him tell the truth after drinking, or scare him and make him tell the truth." Qi Yue joked.
"That's right." Qi Yue suddenly thought of something, "Have you ever heard of a kind of medicine, after drinking it, you can honestly explain all your problems."
"I've never heard of it." Chong Jiu thought for a while, "Where did you hear this stuff?"
"It's fine if you don't have it, but I just remembered that I heard people say that the West has it. It's called Veritaserum." Qi Yue said enthusiastically, "Then I'll go out and prepare something."
"Preparing for what?" Chong Jiu asked.
"Hehe. It was something that sneaked into the palace at that time." Qi Yue smiled meanly, and blinked his eyes pretending to be mysterious.
……
Shuoshu (25)
edge of the South China Sea.
Several fairies are tweeting:
"There is no need to send it away, Bodhisattvas, please return."
"We are very happy to be entertained by several Bodhisattvas during this trip to Honghuang. Tomorrow, we will also invite Honghuang's sisters to sit with us."
"I really look forward to the next time I come to Honghuang, the third prince Ao is pregnant."
They chattered again, sent another trip, chatted for a long time, and then waved goodbye.
After seeing off the Brahman guests, Guanyin and Buddhist nymphs also went back to their homes.
On the way back, Guanyin kept smiling.
The South China Sea is calm and sunny.
She is in a really good mood!
Good, very good, very good, very good!
Avalokitesvara is a very compassionate person. Back then, she made a great vow that if she did not do great things to benefit the common people in the world, she would not become a Buddha.Therefore, although Guanyin's status and strength are higher than many Buddhas, she is still not a Buddha.
Although Avalokitesvara doesn't think too much about becoming a Buddha, she is very enterprising. After all these years, she still feels a little regretful.But she has worked hard for so many years, but she has never found a chance to become a Buddha.
And allowing men to have children can barely be regarded as benefiting the common people.Coupled with the merits accumulated in the past.
Maybe this is the opportunity for me to become a Buddha.Avalokitesvara thought happily, put her hands together with a smile, and said a few words "Amitabha".
At the door of the house, Guanyin's good mood remained undiminished.
She lowered her head by chance, huh?Why is it that Putuo Island is so convenient, the crabs are all lying on the sea with their bellies turned upside down?
Could it be an infectious disease?Avalokitesvara was startled, and reached out to rescue the bottle and willow branches.
But she wasted no time, because she didn't bring a bottle, nor did she bring any magical artifacts or medicines.
She quickly lowered the altitude, looked down, and found that these sea monsters were very vigorous, and they didn't look like they were sick.
After observing for a long time, Guanyin didn't know what was going on.She wondered for a while, forget it, anyway, no one is sick or dead, so whoever cares, maybe someone likes to dance belly dance.
Back in Putuo, Guanyin laughed again when he saw that Black Bear was (pretending) cleaning up, picking up the fruit peels and confetti left by guests, and Red Boy was (pretending) washing his precious bottles.
In Putuo Mountain, there are bursts of spring breeze and warmth.
Outside Putuo Mountain, there is a faint sound of Buddha, and the light of Buddha.
"Bodhisattva, your bottle!" Red Boy handed the jade bottle to Guanyin.
"Shancai is becoming more and more sensible." Guanyin took the bottle and praised it by the way.
Although this bottle still smells a little bit of alcohol, but, why bother with a child about such a trivial matter.
Avalokitesvara thought to herself, let's praise the children more. During the equal rights meeting, there will be a few female fairies imparting parenting experience, saying that praise can make children more confident and conducive to their healthy growth.
The black bear spirit on the side looked at Guanyin strangely, why does this Bodhisattva look like a different person?
Seeing Hei Xiong Jing looking at him, Guanyin also smiled at him: "Xiao Hei is becoming more and more sensible."
After speaking, she took the bottle and walked back to her room.
Her steps are very light.
The two of them who looked at each other in blank dismay were left behind.
……
Qi Yue enthusiastically prepared a set of outfits: night clothes, masks, ecstasy incense, and a wooden stick in each hand.
He took them all from a small hotel in the wilderness.
As for why there is such a guy who robs a house in a small wilderness hotel, it is not known.
Chong Jiu was quite speechless: "Are you sure we need these things to sneak into the palace?"
"Of course." Qi Yue put on his night clothes and said very seriously, "Since we are in the mortal world, we must follow the rules of mortals."
This is still boring, Chongjiu thought.
But in fact, Chong Jiu also began to look forward to it in his heart.
After all, as a monster, he lived for thousands of years, and then stayed in the Bibotan all day, ate and slept, occasionally practiced martial arts, and was enslaved by the Halloween princess as a coolie. There was no entertainment at all.
Whether it is a human, a demon, or a fairy, they are always looking for some weird things to decorate their boring life.Even the top group of sons and daughters in the Three Realms still have to find time to get together and gossip.It's not that they like to gossip about others, it's because life is boring and they can't find other more interesting activities.
……
Ji Saiguo Palace, Study Room.
The king was sitting at the table, counting a list.
"Your Majesty." The guard outside the door shouted, "Prime Minister, please see me."
"Please," said the king without looking up.
The aged prime minister entered the study room, greeted him, and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, the news has already been spread."
The king gave a "hmm" without raising his head, and signaled the prime minister to continue.
"In the country of Jisai, all the people knew that His Majesty was going to lead the soldiers to the dangerous place to find the nine-headed worm for the sake of the relic. The people all felt the majesty of the king's grace and cried bitterly. There were more than four hundred The common people are still kneeling at the gate of the palace, begging His Majesty not to go in person for the sake of offering sacrifices to the country."
"Oh." The king sighed.
The old prime minister continued: "[-]% of the people in the city have donated all their wealth and are willing to serve as soldiers. Another [-]% of the people donated half of their wealth. Others, more or less Donate."
"That's not enough." The king continued to sigh, "Go on and build momentum."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The old prime minister nodded.
"Also, add more taxes. At this moment, the people are all focused on getting back the relics. Even if the taxes are heavy, there will be no complaints." The king thought for a while and said.
"Yes." The old prime minister said, "However, after the tax increase on the pretext that the relics were stolen last time, the people have very little left, and I'm afraid there will not be much left."
The king snorted coldly: "Not many, but there are always some. Just like refined beans, if you squeeze them again, there will always be some."
……
The sky is full of stars.
Qi Yue and Chong Jiu stood on the roof.
The royal palace of Jisai City is on a small hill in the center of the city, and at their feet is the highest palace in the royal palace.
Looking around, you can see that the square in front of the palace is brightly lit, and there are dense crowds kneeling.Behind the crowd, there are dark houses and city walls, and outside the city, there is endless blackness.
When it was dark, they had already entered the palace.
Under Qi Yue's strong request, they did not use the invisibility spell, but put on night clothes, and flew in like two big birds under the night.
Qi overcomes his addiction to become a martial arts master.
When it was early morning, the two jumped off the roof.
Qi Yue held up his stick, and when he saw the guard, he went up and knocked him unconscious with a stick.
After knocking a few times, Qi Yue began to feel bored, so he simply used the freeze technique to fix one by one.He didn't hide his figure either, he just walked ahead in a swaggering manner.
Chong Jiu couldn't help asking: "If this is the case, why do we still wear night clothes?"
"You don't understand." Qi Yue waved his hand, "Everyone in the world wears this at night."
Qi Yue leads the way.
But Chongjiu thought, why is this getting more and more remote?
But he didn't make another sound, and followed Qi Yue obediently.
After walking for a long time, they came to a small courtyard.
Chong Jiu raised his head and saw three large characters on the plaque in front of him: Imperial Dining Room.
Qi Yue smiled: "Have some supper first, and then go to business."
Chongjiu: ...
After eating and drinking enough, Qi Yue packed a bag before they headed to the king's bedroom.
The king's bedroom is not gorgeous, it's just a half-old courtyard.
Qi Yue first stood at the gate of the courtyard, pricked up his ears and listened. His hearing was very good, and he couldn't hide any disturbances in the courtyard from him.After finding that there was no strange sound, he gently pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.
In the courtyard, there were quite a few guards standing, chatting in low voices, and when they saw someone pushing the door open, they all hurriedly took up their weapons.
Seeing that there were only two people coming, and they were very arrogant, they were obviously taken aback.
As soon as Chong Jiu raised his hand at them, the guards staggered and fell asleep completely.
This kind of kung fu is a good skill in robbing houses.Qi Yue thought to himself, it's a pity that ordinary people have nothing worth stealing.
The two came to the window outside the house.
Qi Yue stretched out his finger, licked it twice, and then lightly pierced the window paper.
He carefully lit the incense, and put it in through the small hole poked out.
"What is this?" Chong Jiu couldn't help asking.
"Mixiang." Qi Yue chuckled softly, "It's used in the mortal world to stun people."
Seeing that Qiyue was very interested, Chongjiu accompanied him and waited slowly for Mixiang to erupt.Anyway, for gods and monsters, the most indispensable thing is time.
After waiting for a while, Qi Yue quietly opened the door and walked in.
He sniffed the room, only to feel the smell of inferior mosquito coils, so he hurriedly opened the windows to ventilate.
Qi Yue waved his hand and directed Chong Jiu: "Go! Scared him to death!"
……
Shuoshu (26)
He had a good night's sleep.
Then, I had a good dream.
At that time, he was still young.Grandpa led him out of the capital.
He saw many things that were different from those in the palace. For the first time, he knew that there were such poor people in his own country.
They stopped by a leek field.When the people working in the fields saw the king, they came to bow down one after another.The people offered the most precious things of their homes, lest they neglect their King.
However, as a prince and grandson, he doesn't like these things at all.Without looking at them, he threw them on the ground.
His benevolent grandfather beat him for the first time, in front of many people and courtiers.
He was wronged, not angry, and didn't understand where he was wrong.
Grandpa led him, and the two climbed up the hill beside the field.
Grandpa pointed to the field at the foot of the mountain and said, "Those people are like leeks. Once they grow, they will grow again. When you are a king, the most important thing is not to harvest it yourself with a knife. , but to gain the trust of the leeks and let them cut themselves willingly.
"So, in front of leeks, you must act as if you love the people like a son."
He seemed to understand.
It was also that day that Grandpa told him the secret of Ji Sai Kingdom.
It turned out that the Buddhist relic, which was regarded as a national treasure in Jisai Kingdom, was a fake.
He didn't understand at all why a fake was needed as a national treasure.
Grandpa smiled and gave him his own example: "Once, I ordered someone to go to Jinguang Temple and secretly took the relics. Then, I told the leeks that the Buddha relics were stolen by robbers. What about those leeks?" I don’t understand, I took the opportunity to raise taxes and sent people to rob several big households, but Leek thought it was retribution for the theft of Buddha relics. In this way, a lot of wealth from Leeks went into the palace. Moreover, they vented their dissatisfaction to Jinguang Temple, which guards the relics. I followed the people's will and severely punished a few monks, and the leeks loved me even more.
"Later, I used the excuse of crusade against thieves to recruit soldiers from Leek. I then recruited people to serve in the army, and then treated them as slaves. Some were sent to fight, some were sold to other countries far away, and some were killed directly. Avoid the rebellion of these strong leeks. When the leeks are about to wither and start to complain, I will declare that I am a gun horse and go to retake the relics. After this incident, the leeks are grateful to me and are determined."
He was so surprised that he couldn't help asking: "But, grandpa, how can we defend the country if we kill the healthy leeks?"
"Our crisis is only internal, not external. We just need to reserve some troops to guard against rebellion." Grandpa patiently explained, "This is the Western Region, protected by the Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty, so we don't need our poor troops." troops to defend the country."
Grandpa continued: "This Buddha relic is really a national treasure, and it has other wonderful uses. For example, one year, when the harvest was not good, I secretly replaced the relic with a dull one. The name of a minister was engraved. This minister is very powerful and not very easy to deal with, but this time, without my help, the angry leeks turned their anger on this minister, and I obeyed them again and killed this minister."
He opened his mouth wide in surprise, feeling incredible.
"This fake Buddha relic has infinite uses, even more useful than the real thing." Grandpa smiled, "We can harvest leeks for hundreds of years, but we can't do without this national treasure. But grandpa is old, and the leeks haven't been fattened yet." , When you have a chance in the future, come and harvest a few crops."
"But won't anyone find out?" he asked.
"Hahaha, the reason why leeks are leeks is because they have no brains." Grandpa patted his head and said, "However, we still have to use this national treasure with caution."
He firmly remembered the teachings of his grandfather.
He succeeded to the throne and became a king, and also used this national treasure for other purposes.
But he never waited until the time to harvest leeks.
Until his position is stable and the leeks are cooked.
He heard that there was a monster named Nine-Headed Insect outside the city.
He found that this monster was a good target for "stealing" relics.Because the leeks are incapable of questioning whether the monster stole the national treasure.
He was triumphant, and he dreamed that he was waving a sickle, harvesting ripe leeks in a green field.
The wind blows and the green waves are heavy.
A knife down, cut a piece of green.The sickle was not stained with green juice, but was stained with large groups of mottled blood.
The green waves made of leeks suddenly turned into a green pool.
On the pool, blue waves surged, and a ferocious monster leaped up.
The monster is like a snake, but it has nine heads, and its eyes are all staring at him.
The monster opened its mouth, revealing rows of sharp teeth: "Say, why did you frame me!"
He shivered: "You, who are you?"
"You framed me, you framed me, you framed me..." The monster kept yelling at him, and the snake letter got closer and closer to him.
He could only lower his head tremblingly and kept shaking his hands: "I, I, I don't, I don't."
"I am the Hydra of Bibotan." The monster sneered, "I didn't steal any Buddha relics, who took that relic!"
He couldn't help but knelt down, completely losing the dignity of the king of a country: "I, I don't know, I don't know anything."
The monster sneered, opened nine giant mouths at the same time, and bit him.
"I, I said, I said, I said." He was so frightened that he peed out, and uttered all the secrets of Jisai's national treasure.
"Then what about the soldiers you recruited to attack me under the pretext?"
He fell on the ground and knelt down, "Some were killed, and there are mausoleums, mausoleums, and I sent them to repair the mausoleums!"
He heard a snort above his head.
He raised his head tremblingly, and saw a familiar young man in white standing on top of Hydra's head.The young man was holding a bag containing food from the imperial dining room in one hand, and in the other hand, he was holding a mirror made of water.
"You, you are a disciple of Monk Datang..."
Before he could finish speaking, the young man jumped down and kicked him unconscious.
"What is that mirror in your hand for?" Chong Jiu asked.
Qi Yue cast several spells in succession: "This is called a video recorder."
……
royal tomb.
Among the white snow-capped mountains, white marble.
Also, there are layers of white dry bones.
Most of the people who built the royal tomb were exhausted to death, and some who tried to escape were killed by guarding soldiers.
Qi Yue knocked out the soldiers guarding the people in Xiuling.
As for more, he couldn't do it any more.
Let the gods return to the gods, and let the mortal return to the mortal.Qi Yue should not intervene too much in personnel affairs.
He released the people who built the tomb, believing that they were the best witnesses.
When we got back, it was almost dawn.
Qi Yue took out the packed things, heated them with spells, and had breakfast with Chong Jiu before returning to Jinguang Temple.
As usual, Tang Seng got up early to do morning classes.
Seeing Qi Yue and Chong Jiu, he was very surprised: "Huh? Where have you been?"
"Master." Qi Yue took out some steamed buns, "I went to buy you breakfast."
Tang Seng was very happy that his apprentice was so filial. He took it and took a bite: "This steamed bun tastes really good."
"That is." Qi Yue smiled.
Like a windy man, Zhu Bajie suddenly closed his eyes and floated out of the room. He took a steamed bun from Qi Yue's hand and stuffed it in with one mouthful.
"Xiaobai, where did you buy it?" Zhu Bajie opened his eyes in surprise, and said, "It looks like what you ate at the king's royal banquet a few days ago."
"I bought it from the imperial dining room." Qi Yue smiled and gave Zhu Bajie another one.
"Master." Qi Yue said, "Let's go."
"Are you finished with the relic?" Tang Seng asked.
"Of course." Qi Yue patted his chest.
"Okay." Tang Seng didn't ask any more questions, "Then I'll go and talk to the abbot of Jinguang Temple."
Several people woke up Monkey King and Drifting, and went to pack their luggage.
Qi Yue didn't have anything, Chong Jiu only had a few books, which were carried in a bag.
Qi Yue took out a book out of curiosity, and opened a page casually.
"Shu Shu Shu Shu, without food I will be... Shu Shu Shuo Shu, without food I will be wheat... Shu Shu Shu Shu, without food I will be seedlings..."
"What is this writing about?" Qi Yue didn't quite understand it, so he closed it boredly and looked at the cover, "The Book of Songs, it's really boring."
They packed their luggage, said goodbye to the monks of Jinguang Temple, and walked to the street.
The streets were crowded with people, men and women, old and young, all the people of the city came out and rushed towards the palace.
When passing by the gate of the palace, I saw a large group of people gathered there, and the people were crying, choking with sobs, crying, cursing, beating and rushing forward.
Qi Yue even saw the old man who he had given the emerald to, he followed the flow of people blankly and at a loss.
The old man's face was like a completely dead tree bark, without any vitality.In his hand, he was holding a spirit tablet carved from broken wood.
Qi Yue still vaguely remembered that the old man said that his son was sent to build a fortification against the nine-headed worm.
Qi Yue sighed, walked through the crowd, and left here.
Sun Wukong likes to join in the fun, he squeezed into the crowd, and after a long time, he came out again.
"What happened there?" Tang Seng looked at the crowd.
"Hey, I heard that the king was frightened and went crazy. He kept saying that he shouldn't frame the Nine-Headed God. A group of people broke into the palace and found a lot of treasures. Tsk tsk, they have been accumulated for hundreds of years, and they are almost piled up into mountains." Sun Wukong said, "There is an even more strange thing. There is something broadcasting at the pool at the entrance of the palace. It is a picture of the king confessing his crime."
"It's really strange." Tang Seng asked, "What is this thing?"
"Who knows? I heard from the people that there are gods appearing." Sun Wukong glanced at Qiyue who was walking in front, "But, according to my grandson, this seems to be something that the Xihai aquarium likes to play."
Tang Seng put his palms together and said "Amitabha".
Chong Jiu smiled: "He said, this is called a water curtain movie."
……
Outside the city, people were farming in the fields.
They worked hard to cut the wheat and leeks in the fields...
They worked tirelessly day and night, hoping that this year's harvest would be enough to pay taxes.
Without Buddha relics, they will believe in other things.Without the sacrificial royal family, they would still be ruled by other kings.
The leeks that grow in the fields will always be harvested.
They were tired from work, looked up to rest, and saw a big black snake.
The big snake meandered across the field and headed into the distance.
On the body of the snake, there is a monk with his eyes closed and chanting sutras.Behind him were three strange-looking monks.
Beside the snake is a snake driver holding a small stick.
