In the Heavens - Vol 6 Chapter 109
Popular recommendation:
The monkey opera was not performed in vain. After the shameless splattering, the Jade Emperor finally let go, and symbolically sent a team of heavenly soldiers to follow Sun Wukong to the lower realm to capture the murderer.
There is no doubt that this kind of drudgery, which is doomed to run in vain, falls on the head of Li Tianwang, who is “the able man does more work”.
Just after leaving Nantianmen, Nezha, who was pulled over by Li Jing to make up the number, couldn’t help complaining, “Monkey, do our father and son have a grudge against you? Why are you making trouble for us one after another?”
This remark can be traced back to five hundred years ago. From the time he led the army to capture Sun Wukong, Li Jing and his son became the laughing stock of heaven.
Being laughed at, and forbearance will pass. But since then, the dirty and tiring work that no one in the heavenly court is willing to do will eventually fall on their father and son.
Li Jing bears the title of Heavenly King and looks majestic, but in fact he is an empty shelf.
The lineages have long been exhausted in the battles to encircle and suppress the demon king in the lower realms, and now there is only a group of cannon fodder left, and there is not much right to speak in the heavenly court.
I can only bear it if I am upset. Who makes the Taoist sect in the heavenly court so powerful, and Li Jing belongs to the Buddhist sect?
As for Nezha, he suffered a total disaster, and was pulled into the chariot by his father every time. There is not much father-son relationship in the first place, and after consumption again and again, there is even less left.
After listening to Nezha’s words, Sun Wukong’s face was slightly embarrassed, but he still shouted strongly: “Little brat, what do you know! When did my grandson trouble your father and son?
It is recommended by the gods in the heavens to let you subdue the demons in the lower realm. If you are not satisfied with the order given by the Jade Emperor, go back and complain to them!
Getting angry at my old grandson, isn’t it bullying the honest monkey? Forget it, my old grandson has a lot of monkeys, so I won’t care about you little brat. . ”
If he offends others, maybe Sun Wukong has to think twice, but he is not at all cowardly towards Li Jing and his son.
As a smart monkey, from the scene that happened in the heaven, Sun Wukong obviously felt that Li Jing and his son were not welcome in the heaven.
Bullying the soft and fearing the hard is applicable everywhere. Sun Wukong can completely ignore the existence that is not seen by the heavens and whose strength is not as good as his.
Seeing that Nezha was provoked, Li Jing hurriedly changed the subject and said, “Okay, it’s useless to talk about this now. Great Sage, let’s think about how to rescue your master first!
Let’s talk about the ugly first. If we can’t find the person behind the scenes, and we can’t find the treasure of heaven and earth, we don’t have the face to ask Zhenyuan Daxian for someone. ”
If he had a choice, Li Jing didn’t want to go to a showdown directly. But now there is a headless koan, and it is impossible to even clear the suspicion of Sun Wukong.
Even if he knew that Sun Wukong was wronged, the traces left on the scene pointed directly at Sun Wukong, and he was the number one suspect before the real murderer was found.
Perhaps realizing that he had made a slip of the tongue, Sun Wukong immediately changed his face and said, “Don’t worry, the King of Heaven, it’s not in the way. My old grandson is not someone who doesn’t know what’s wrong. If you can come and help, it’s all for my face, how dare you ask for anything else.
When you get to the place, as long as you look carefully, you will always find something. It’s not like the black hand behind the scenes will erase all traces, right? ”
Frankly speaking, Sun Wukong himself does not believe this. Since it is framed, the black hand behind the scenes will naturally not leave clues.
Zhen Yuanzi cast the spell and traced back in time, but found no more traces, not to mention the investigation afterward.
But knowing in the heart is one thing, and what to do on the surface is another. For Sun Wukong, who is passive in his work, as long as he works hard, what does the gods have to do with him in the end?
If you can’t catch the mastermind behind the scenes, you can’t get rid of suspicion, and your great cause is blocked, it is the Buddhas in Lingshan who should be anxious.
Otherwise, in such a bad situation, he should have gone to Lingshan for help at the first time, instead of going to heaven to hang out.
He came to the gate of Wuguanzhuang with Xiangyun in his arms, and was about to call the door when he saw Qingfeng and Mingyue jumping up and out. They bowed to everyone and said:
“The teacher has said that the Wuzhuang Temple is a place for seeking Taoism and cultivating. It is inconvenient to see the sharp weapons of the soldiers, and the spirit of the army will collide with the peace in the view. Therefore, I ask the King of Heaven to move to another place.”
This was blocked at the door, and Sun Wukong, who was full of anger, turned his attention to the Li family and his son, wanting to see their reaction.
“Xiantong’s words are reasonable, but this is our fault. Wuguanzhuang is a holy place of peace and harmony, and it is indeed not suitable for the army to enter. Please tell Daxian, Li Jing is rude today, and please Haihan!”
After that, he will lead the army to leave. Sun Wukong hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Li Jing’s sleeve and stopped him: “Tianwang, you are here to investigate the case, and you will leave without looking at the scene. What kind of case are you investigating?”
I have seen such a coward, but Sun Wukong has never seen such a coward. After all, he also took the Jade Emperor’s imperial decree to investigate the case in the lower realm. He didn’t even enter the door, and he was about to retreat. It really refreshed the three views of monkey life.
Nezha, who was on the side, immediately jumped out and reprimanded Sun Wukong: “Pu monkey, you are so unreasonable. Our father and son helped us in the lower realm, and you didn’t say a word of thanks, why are you still instigating us?
Since the black hand behind the scenes dares to frame it, naturally he will not leave clues, otherwise Daxian Zhenyuan would have discovered it long ago.
There is no point in investigating the scene. Instead of wasting time here, it is better to walk around and see if there are any demons nearby. ”
There is no problem, can’t find the real master, catch a few little demons and little devils to make up the number, you can also take it back to boost performance.
Thinking that Li Jing and his son went down to conquer the demons many times without success, and finally they were able to sit firmly on the throne of the heavenly king.
For example: the last time we conquered Shituoling, tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers were buried. In order to escape punishment, they made atonement for their crimes before the Jade Emperor was convicted, and captured more than 100,000 demons and returned to Heaven for their achievements.
Another example: The last time I conquered the Seven Great Sages, I lost countless soldiers, but in the end, I relied on my outstanding performance to commit crimes and make contributions, and I was able to land safely.
…
Similar things have been experienced many times, and even Nezha, who has a single muscle in his head, has greatly improved his officialdom.
Monkey King, whose monkey life was refreshed again, looked at Li Jing and his son for a long time, speechless. At this moment, he finally understood why Li Jing was able to gain a firm foothold in the heaven when all the immortals and gods in Buddhism were suppressed.
Seeing that the pit didn’t calculate his “enemy” in the past, Sun Wukong could only curse inwardly. Now everyone is in the Buddhist camp, and it’s okay to stumble in secret, but it’s a big taboo to target that on the surface.
Being framed again, how could Sun Wukong not understand that someone was beating him on purpose, warning him to be quiet, otherwise he could be replaced.
It’s just that what Sun Wukong is puzzled is that since Buddhism can change people, why should he still drag him, a half-hearted monkey, and refuse to let go?
[In other words, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books at present, Mimi Read, install the latest version. 】
Watching Li Jing and his son leave, Sun Wukong just got up and was about to go to the heaven to wander around again, but Guanyin Bodhisattva had stopped in front of him.
They were all forced out, and when they encountered a monkey who was sluggish and often strayed, the Guanyin Bodhisattva, who presided over the Westward Journey project team, could only choose to take the initiative.
Forced or not, it is no longer important. If Sun Wukong is allowed to toss, it is estimated that he will not harass the gods all over the sky, and it will be difficult to find the door.
At other times, Guanyin can’t care if he wastes a little time, but he can’t stand Tang Sanzang being a mortal body.
If Sun Wukong is allowed to play like this, he will be able to toss for several years every time a disaster occurs, and he is afraid that Tang Sanzang will not be able to reach Lingshan when his lifespan is exhausted.
“Wukong, where are you going?”
Guanyin asked pretending not to know.
“Bodhisattva, you came just in time, come with me to rescue Master!
Just below the Wuguanzhuang with a strong tone, there is an old Taoist with a high level of cultivation. He didn’t say anything about the innocence of my old Sun, but also detained Master, Bajie, Wujing and Bailongma.
They were still tied to the post when I left. Bajie and Wujing have rough skin and thick flesh, it’s okay for a while, poor master…”
Before Sun Wukong could finish his tragic words, Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was familiar with his routine, interrupted directly: “Okay, Wukong. You are really a monkey, and you didn’t inform me that such a big thing happened.
If it wasn’t for the poor monk who came out to visit your friends, and it happened to meet you here, I don’t know how much trouble it would cause. Come down with me, ask Zhen Yuanzi for a favor, and let your master and apprentice go west. ”
“Very good! Very good!”
Sun Wukong pretended to be excited and shouted: “Please rest assured, Bodhisattva, if you encounter trouble in the future, my old grandson will definitely come to you as soon as possible!”
This is the truth, Sun Wukong has made up his mind, if the next time he encounters a difficult problem, he will drag Guanyin into the water.
Forget the soft persimmon, instead of leaving it to Buddhism, it is better for him to take it out and send it to him. On this journey to the west to learn scriptures, Sun Wukong’s biggest gain is to learn – the world of people.
When he came to Wuguanzhuang again, Sun Wukong suddenly turned into an honest monkey. He lowered his head and silently followed behind Guanyin Bodhisattva, lest he would attract Zhen Yuanzi’s attention.
Obviously, this is the credit of the previous fifty whips. The kind of pain that came from the depths of the soul, Sun Wukong did not want to experience it again.
When old actors meet, the competition is acting. Listening to Guanyin Bodhisattva and Zhenyuan Daxian reminiscing about the old, the bored Sun Wukong’s thoughts already fell on Tang Sanzang.
I don’t know if I don’t see it, I was startled when I saw it. From the moment he left, Tang Sanzang’s master and apprentice were tied to a pillar, and they didn’t get a drop of water for two days in a row.
The scene in front of him really frightened Sun Wukong. In the past, no matter what kind of demons, ghosts, or how much you screamed about eating Tang monk meat, they were all entertained in the cave, lest they would be hungry and thin.
Now this Zhenyuan Daxian is very good, he is really not interested in Tang monk meat, but he is very sincere when it comes to tossing people.
He promised to tie him up and wait for him to come back, but he really tied Tang Sanzang and waited for him to come back, and he didn’t even care about the most basic things like eating, drinking and sleeping.
Fortunately, Guanyin Bodhisattva took the initiative to show up, otherwise, if he continued to toss according to his ideas, the team of learning scriptures would really have to change people.
Sun Wukong didn’t know if Tang Sanzang would be unlucky if Zhen Yuanzi got cold; but he, the number one guardian of the Tao, would definitely not be able to escape the punishment of Buddhism.
Secretly tugging at the sleeve of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Sun Wukong said in a low voice as much as possible: “Bodhisattva, don’t talk about the past. Quickly ask for favors, let the master down first, or he will die!”
Hearing Sun Wukong’s reminder, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, who was originally calm, also changed a lot, cast a glance at Tang Sanzang’s state, and said resentfully to Zhen Yuanzi: “Daxian, you see that Tang Sanzang has also been punished, it is better to put him down first. how.”
Looking at Daxian Zhenyuan with a calm face, in his heart, Guanyin Bodhisattva has already scolded him. You agreed to play a play, and you actually played it for real.
Perhaps realizing that he was playing too much, Zhen Yuanzi stroked his beard and said, “Forget it, the poor Dao will give the Bodhisattva a face. Splashing monkeys, don’t go and untie your master!
Qingfeng, Mingyue, go get a fruit of life and send it to Tang Sanzang. ”
While speaking, he gave Guanyin a look back. As if to say, don’t worry, there is no major incident, and the person who learned the scriptures is still alive.
In this mythical world, as long as people live, everything is not a problem. After suffering so much, you get a fruit of life, no matter how you look at it, it can’t be considered a loss.
After Tang Sanzang’s problem was solved, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva’s complexion improved a lot, and he immediately talked about the business: “Wukong has been transformed by the Buddha’s teachings, and he has been corrected for many days.
The thieves behind the scenes did not dare to look at people with their true faces, and turned into Wukong to steal the treasures of heaven and earth. The thieves of the demon world have sneaked into the floods recently, and the poor monk guessed that this matter was mostly related to them.
Lingshan has sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress these demons, and there will be good news in the near future. Daxian just needs to wait patiently. ”
Anyway, they are all acting, and the excuses they come up with are as long as they make sense. What’s more, Fomen also personally directed a big show of destroying demons, which was enough to give Zhen Yuanzi face.
Zhenyuanzi nodded, but Sun Wukong, who was outside, couldn’t stand it. After letting go of Tang Sanzang, he hurried over and protested, “Bodhisattva, these demons pretend to be my grandson to act and ruin my grandson’s name, so we must not break with them.
One is to deal with it, and two is to deal with it. Bodhisattva, you are very discerning, and the koan case five hundred years ago will also be solved for my grandson, right? ”
After listening to Sun Wukong’s words, the tea in Guanyin’s mouth almost spurted out. The crime of stealing the treasures of heaven and earth can be cleared, because the matter is within the controllable range, and there is no movement.
The koan case five hundred years ago was different. If it was said that Sun Wukong was wronged, wouldn’t it prove that the Buddha had no eyes and could not distinguish between true and false?
How dare Guanyin respond to this kind of slap in the face. Immediately, his face changed, and he reprimanded Sun Wukong: “You pungent monkey, you are so unwilling to give up!
Five hundred years ago, the heinous crime you committed was a fact that all sentient beings in the Three Realms had seen, so how could you talk about being wronged? ”
Looking at the eyes full of cold light, you know that there is no room for negotiation on this matter. If Sun Wukong succeeds in overturning the verdict, how does this allow Buddhism to mix in the Three Realms?
You know, the black history of Buddhism is not only this wave. Once the head of overturning the case is opened, Buddhism will never have peace.
