Run a B&B and receive Wu Song at the beginning

In the Journey to the West, the pilgrims who left Pingdingshan are now resting near a small town.

Xuanzang cooked some noodles, served himself a bowl, and then gave the rest of the pot to the black bear spirit:

"Wuming, you've worked hard on the road, eat more."

There will be no monsters in the Lotus Cave of Pingdingshan for a long time, so the pilgrims will focus on improving people's livelihood and benefiting the people.

Xuanzang saw that it was difficult to travel in this small town, and even had to cross mountains and ridges to go to the state capital, and also had to risk his life to pass through a place full of poisonous insects. So he asked Wukong to remove the smoke and miasma, and asked the black bear spirit to dig through the mountains and build a road for the people.

Today is the third day of construction, and it is estimated that it will take a few more days to completely repair the road.

The local mountain gods and land gods were alert, and when they found that Tang Seng and his disciples were building a road, they quietly told the people in the city to prepare various vegetarian products and fruits and come to express their gratitude.

At this moment, Wukong went to steal the immortal grass for Xiaobailong. The black bear spirit hadn't finished eating noodles yet. He felt someone approaching, so he quickly put down the pot, flew into the air with the black tassel spear, and found that it was a commoner, so he came down to tell Xuanzang.

"Master, the people who came are all commoners, not monsters. They brought food and drink, and it seems that they came to thank us."

When Xuanzang heard it, he put on his cassock and said:

"Ask the mountain gods and land gods here if they know about it."

The black bear spirit was puzzled:

"What if they don't know?"

"So many people left the city. If they don't know, then let your senior brother go to Chang'an to ask for an imperial edict to re-ennoble the mountain gods and land gods... As a grassroots god, not paying attention to the people's livelihood and not solving the people's travel problems is simply the biggest dereliction of duty."

As soon as Xuanzang finished speaking, the mountain gods, land gods, city gods and other minor gods came together Appeared, as soon as they met, he begged for mercy:

"Saint monk, calm down. We learned that the saint monk and his disciples helped people build roads, so we specially asked the people in the city to come and thank them. Several officials in the city also promised to build a temple for the saint monk to commemorate the good deeds of building roads."

Xuan Zang asked:

"Is there no temple in the city?"

"Yes, but it is dedicated to the Eastern Buddha, not the Tathagata Buddha. Yesterday, a believer wanted to go to the temple to thank him, but was stopped by us."

The Tathagata's people are building roads here, and you go to thank Maitreya Buddha. This is not just flattering the horse, but directly putting your head under the horse's hoof and letting the horse kick you.

When Xuan Zang heard that it was Maitreya Buddha's temple, he had a plan.

Soon, the people came over and gave a lot of food, as well as a tray of gold and two loads of silver. The black bear demon was surprised. He didn't expect this place to be so rich.

Xuan Zang thanked everyone for their hospitality and left the food, but did not accept the gold and silver.

The local prefect said that the money could be used to build a temple, but Xuanzang refused:

"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Using this money to treat illnesses and save lives is more meaningful than building a temple."

A wealthy man dressed as a wealthy man asked:

"The holy monk loves the people sincerely. If we don't repay him, wouldn't it be impolite? Please give the holy monk from the Tang Dynasty a chance to thank him, otherwise we will be unable to sleep or eat."

Building roads and bridges are great merits. Now that foreign monks are helping to build roads, we must thank them in place.

Xuanzang said:

"Isn't there a temple in the city? Why do we need to build another one?"

The prefect replied:

"Saint monk, you don't know that the temple in the city is dedicated to the Buddha from the East. Yesterday, the gods of the mountain, the land, the city god and other gods informed us that the saint monk and them are not in harmony. If you want to thank them, it is best to build another temple."

Xuanzang didn't expect that the gods here were quite interesting. He smiled and said:

"Lingshan is divided into factions, which has nothing to do with the people. Let me ask you, since the temple was built, has the Buddha from the East solved the people's livelihood problems and saved the believers from suffering?"

The prefect and several officials looked at each other, and finally shook their heads, saying that they had never seen such a situation.

Xuanzang asked again:

"After the temple was built, have there been floods, droughts and other disasters in this area?"

This question aroused everyone's interest:

"It has happened. Last year, there was a severe drought for three consecutive months. Later, it rained for more than half a month. Our whole city was soaked in water. The flood took a long time to recede. The streets were full of mud. There was also a small-scale plague. Fortunately, Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun passed by and helped us solve the problem."

Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun is great...Xuanzang praised in his heart, clasped his hands together and said:

"First, he does not save the suffering and second, he does not solve the suffering of the people. This Buddha, What's the use of believing it? "

The prefect didn't expect the monk in front of him to say such a treasonous word, and smiled bitterly:

"Since this temple has been repaired, you can't tear it down and rebuild it, right?"

Xuanzang waved his hand:

"No need to tear it down, just tear down the statue and replace it with the statue of Tathagata Buddha... A great man with a higher status than the three realms said that the people are the foundation of the three realms, and all the gods dare not attack the people. Just go and tear it down and rebuild the statue... Are there any monks in the temple? "

The holy monk was so arrogant... The prefect and several officials were shocked. Isn't Buddhism a quiet place? Why did this monk talk like... like a general?

The prefect replied:

"There are more than 30 monks with certificates of ordination in the temple, and 70 to 80 lay people practicing in the temple... Why did the holy monk suddenly ask this?"

Xuan Zang said:

"Let them all come to build the road. If there are any absentees, their certificates of ordination will be confiscated and they will be expelled from the temple... Does the temple have any land under its name?"

"About 30,000 acres."

"It will all be taken back to the government and distributed to farmers who have no land. From now on, no temple has the right to encroach on people's farmland. If there is any encroachment, people can come to this road to cry and complain, and someone will come to seek justice!"

The prefect was confused by this series of orders:

"Isn't the holy monk a member of the Tang Dynasty? If you force control of the monks here, I'm worried that it will cause a backlash from them."

Xuanzang took out the gold medal given by Li Shimin:

"I am the sworn brother of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. This time I am not only going to Lingshan to meet the Buddha, but also to expand the territory for His Majesty the Tang Dynasty... Although the monks here are not my subjects of the Tang Dynasty, a few years later, I, the Tang Dynasty Cavalry, will still come and give you a chance to join the Celestial Kingdom, will you refuse?"

The prefect and others all shook their heads:

"No, we sincerely hope to become the people of the Tang Dynasty."

In the world of Journey to the West, the influence of the Tang Dynasty was so great that even the officials at the foot of Lingshan Mountain still called themselves lower officials when they saw Xuanzang and called the Tang Dynasty the Celestial Kingdom. They were extremely polite to Xuanzang and did not dare to show any slights.

And Xuanzang has always maintained the demeanor of a superior country, neither being humble nor arrogant to the kings along the way.

On the other hand, people in modern society scolded Xuanzang for being weak and incompetent while kneeling before the king of a small foreign country. Their ancestors were completely disgraced.

Back then, the revolutionary martyrs shed their lives and blood in order to make the Chinese people straighten their backs and behave themselves. But now that the conditions are better and the material resources are developed, the knees have become soft.

In particular, some groups that represent the face of the country openly kneel down to worship a king who is like a blind fool. The leader of the group should really be pulled out and shot for ten minutes.

Soon, Wukong hurried back carrying two bundles of fairy grass.

Seeing so many people surrounding Master, I thought something had happened, and quickly lowered my head, only to realize that they were here to give gifts.

He was not polite, picked up a fragrant fruit and gnawed it. He also said that it tasted good and planned to order more, so that the master could bring it to the real world and give His Highness the Holy Son a taste.

Xuanzang said:

"Erlang Xiansheng, the True Lord, has the grace to drive away the plague here. Wukong informed him to come over and help the people here together."

"Easy to say, easy to say, I, Old Sun, will call Xiao Erlang over right away."

Wukong threw the golden cudgel into the air and turned it into a huge speaker. Then he placed the Bluetooth speaker on the speaker, connected it to his mobile phone, and played the music:

"You are so young, Xiaoerlang. You carry your schoolbag and go to school. You are not afraid..."

Just halfway through the third line of the lyrics, the speaker suddenly went silent, and then a god with a golden helmet descended from the sky. He was none other than Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun who was stationed at Guanjiangkou.

"You're such a bully, you're getting more and more presumptuous!"

Wukong quickly took out the fruits offered by the people and handed them to Erlang God:

"People miss you, hurry up and try some of these fruits. You can't eat these fruits at the mouth of Guanjiang River."

Erlang Shen took it angrily and saluted Xuanzang first. Then he learned that a road was going to be built here. Without saying anything, he picked up a three-pointed two-edged sword and started building infrastructure together with the black bear spirit.

Working is hard work, but from the perspective of gods, it is a good thing that you can earn merit.

The reason why Xuanzang asked Wukong to call him Erlang Shen was because he wanted him to use his mental power to improve people's livelihood, not to use him as a coolie.

Wukong did not participate in the road construction, but flew into the air. After some observation, he found that a branch road was built in the south, which could connect to another state capital. With such repairs, it would no longer be difficult for people living thousands of miles away to travel. After he told Erlang Shen and Black Bear Spirit his ideas, the two began to repair according to the planned route. As for Wukong, he took the golden hoop and began to dredge the river, straighten the canals, and dug a huge reservoir for regulation. rivers to avoid another flood.

While they were busy, Xuanzang came to the real world and prepared to report the current situation to Li Yu.

Finally, when I came to the study, I found that Li Yu was not there, and there were only two people, Mu Guiying and Yun Xiao, playing Two Players on PS.

"Xiao Sanzang? What are you doing here? You won't encounter monsters again, right?"

Mu Guiying's words aroused Yunxiao's interest:

"If there are monsters that Wukong can't take down, I can help."

Xuanzang quickly saluted and said:

"Greetings to the Third Holy Princess and the Fourth Holy Princess. We have never encountered monsters. Not long after we left Pingding Mountain, we encountered a small town. Seeing that the people in the city had difficulty traveling, they asked Wu Ming to help them build roads. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the young monk Come here and report to His Majesty the Holy Son so that he won’t miss you.”

Mu Guiying took a handful of nut brittle and put it into her mouth, chewing it and said:

"You came at the wrong time. My husband and Sister Zhou went to the capital to get their marriage certificate and won't be back until tomorrow... Now I have the final say in the B\u0026B."

Xuanzang didn't expect that Li Yu actually went to get the certificate. He quickly said a bunch of blessings and read a passage of scripture, then left the study and went to the scenic spot to find Tathagata.

In the study, Mu Guiying was eating nut brittle and asked to the sky:

"Fourth child, I've been addicted to games recently. Do you think this is a form of losing one's mind by playing with things?"

Yunxiao asked:

"Are you happy when you play games?"

"I'm so happy. I'm super happy. I feel like I'm exhausted if I don't play for a day."

Yunxiao then asked:

"How do you feel after playing? Are you disappointed or a little guilty? You feel like you have wasted some time?"

"ennnnnnn... Most of the time I am satisfied, and a small part of me feels guilty. I feel like playing the game for an hour means I am one hour closer to the throne."

Hearing this, Yunxiao took a sip of black tea and said with a smile:

“If you can get satisfaction and happiness from games instead of guilt and emptiness, it means you are suitable for playing games. But if games can only allow you to escape reality for a short period of time, it is best to focus on reality first... According to Taoist theory, a person who can achieve a high degree of unity in behavior and thoughts is a real person. You are still a little far away from that step. Come on, Guiying, you are so smart, you will definitely achieve the unity of knowledge and action. "

"Thank you Sister Yunxiao for your encouragement. When your husband comes back, how about giving you a kiss as a reward?"

Yunxiao smiled and said:

"Why are you thinking like my husband, jumping around all the time?"

Mu Guiying curled her lips and spoke with a strong Lu Xun flavor:

"I was probably sick, and I wasn't in the mood to play games. I sat up and ate five packs of instant noodles and drank a big bucket of ice Coke. Sadness always lingered in my heart for no reason. I opened the medical book and looked it up, and found that every word was crooked. The pages were filled with joys and sorrows, and I couldn't sleep. I read them carefully for half the night, and there were four words written all over the book: "The Proof of Killing a Husband"!

Yun Xiao smiled from ear to ear and patted her gently:

"Don't talk nonsense. If your mother-in-law hears it, it's time to teach you a lesson."

"I'm not afraid of her..."

Before Mu Guiying finished speaking, she looked around with a guilty conscience, fearing that she would suddenly fall for three days and three nights.

Yunxiao asked:

"Whatever you want to eat tonight, I'll make it for you."

Mu Guiying fiddled with the treasure money hanging around her neck and said:

"There's nothing you want to eat. How about I drive you to the city to eat, watch a movie after dinner, and then go to Guanlan Mingshu Community to stay overnight?"

Yunxiao had no objection to these arrangements. She opened the ticket purchasing software and looked at it, shook her head and said:

"Forget about movies, there haven't been any high-rated movies recently, so let's watch them at home. The 100-inch TV looks quite interesting. It's just the right time to watch some movies and TV series that I haven't seen in the past. "

Mu Guiying came over and looked at the ticket purchasing software, and said with some regret:

"There really aren't any good movies. The quality of movies has declined in the past two years... Come on, sister Yunxiao, I'll go tell brother Dao and sister-in-law Xiuhe, and let's set off... Do you prefer riding a motorcycle or a car?"

"For cars, you have to wear a helmet on a motorcycle. I'm not used to it."

The two of them packed up and drove to the city. Mu Guiying was too lazy to run far and went directly to the hot pot restaurant opposite Guanlan Mingshu Community, intending to turn longing into appetite and have a good meal with Yun Xiao.

When ordering, Mu Guiying was a little confused looking at the various messy dishes:

"I'm too lazy to look at it. All meat dishes should be served in double portions. We are the emperor and we must treat everyone equally... Eat less vegetarian dishes. I am a carnivore. I can't digest too much green vegetables."

Yun Xiao looked at it, ordered ice powder and yam juice, and then sat down to wait for the food to be served.

While the two were enjoying hot pot, Xuanzang was surrounded by believers in the small temple on the top of the scenic spot and asked for Buddhist teachings:

"Master, a while ago I had a crazy crush on someone, but recently I suddenly started to dislike her and began to like her best friend. Does this count as a beginning of confusion and ending in abandonment?"

"Master, yesterday I caught a 20-pound... no, it was a 30-pound big herring. While walking the fish, my friend sneezed and frightened the fish so much that it decoupled. I want to ask him to compensate. This is considered a crime. Greedy?"

"Master, my girlfriend's best friend always rubs me under the table with her feet in stockings. I'm worried about being infected with athlete's foot. Isn't it too much to ask her to compensate me with a tube of Daxon?"

"Master, I bought a box of live cockroaches as feed, but it was stolen by the aunt in the community at the courier station. Now her house is full of cockroaches. I want to take my pets to her house for a buffet in the name of killing cockroaches. This counts. Is it a crime?"

"Last year, a man chased me, but I didn't agree. This year, his house was demolished and he lost several houses. Master, can you help me get a house back?"

"..."

Xuanzang was a little overwhelmed by all kinds of messy questions, but he still answered them patiently.

Until the evening, these young people who were nominal believers in Buddhism but had been playing tricks gradually dispersed. Xuanzang bowed to Tathagata, then locked the temple door and prepared to return to the world in the book.

He came to the B\u0026B and wanted to go to the study to say goodbye to the two concubines, only to find that there was no one inside. Just as he was about to leave, Li Shimin's voice came from behind:

"Brother Xian? That's great. I have something to ask you."

Li Shimin came upstairs, saw Xuanzang, and quickly put the 4T capacity mobile hard drive into the hands of his sworn brother:

"Ask the Great Sage to help send it to Chang'an and show it to me over there. There is a folder [Li Shimin must read] in it. Be sure to let him click on it and have a look. It's best to use a projector to look at it with the ministers."

Xuanzang took it in his hand and said:

"Okay, I'll go back right now and ask Wukong to be sent to Chang'an City quickly... By the way, the brother over there asked me to tell you that if there is a shortage of food, he can allocate some."

"No, we have plenty of food in Jinyang City. We have planted hundreds of thousands of acres of winter wheat this year, and will plant some spring corn next spring. It will be another bumper harvest."

If there's going to be a war in the world of Journey to the West, it's better not to use the resources there.

Even if there is a shortage of food, you can still ask the Fourth Mistress for help. It will also increase the Fourth Mistress's power of people's livelihood, which is a good thing.

Xuanzang didn't stay long, and soon returned to the world of Journey to the West with the mobile hard drive.

As soon as he arrived, he called Wukong over:

"Send it to Chang'an and let His Majesty and the ministers watch it on a projector. It contains information compiled by Li Shimin from the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It should be related to the war."

When Wukong heard the word "war", he took the mobile hard drive and hurriedly flew to Chang'an.

At this time, Li Shimin was attending the morning court with his ministers, which was a grand court meeting held every five or six days. All the officials above the fifth rank in Chang'an City came, and they were crowded like sardines in a can.

Wukong flew to the palace, and Li Shimin quickly stood up:

"The Great Sage suddenly arrived. Is there something urgent?"

Wukong floated into the hall and took out the mobile hard drive with a smile:

"You from the Sui and Tang world asked me to send this over, and you also said that it would be best to use a projector to watch it with the ministers... Hurry up and have someone move the projector over. I, Sun, also want to join in the fun!"

It's the last day of October, brothers, remember to vote if you have tickets, thank you!
