Chapter 739 Prayer stand
The old county king gently knocked on Xuanzang’s door and respectfully saluted: “Master Xuanzang, the time is set at noon. I don’t know… can you?”
Facing the old county king’s smiling face, Xuanzang had a blank look on his face, nodded dumbly, and closed the door without saying a word.
In this situation, the few people standing outside the door were stunned for a moment.
The Prince couldn’t help but ask, “Father, isn’t Master Xuanzang… unhappy?”
“Probably not.” The old county king took his breath away a little, looked at Xuanzang’s closed door and said, “The Buddha asked us to ask Master Xuanzang to pray for blessings, which means that it is definitely right to ask Master Xuanzang to pray. The master beside the Buddha also urged that no matter what means you use, you must achieve it. This… can’t be wrong, right? Isn’t that what we did?”
“Yes, yes, yes, there is nothing wrong with listening to the Lord Buddha.” The elders standing around nodded in agreement one by one.
At this time, they did not know that Xuanzang in the room was watching them quietly through the gap in the window lattice.
After a long time, he opened his mouth slightly and spit out two words: “Foolishness.”
“Huh?” The canopy behind him raised his head slightly and looked at Xuanzang.
Xuanzang said blankly: “This is the definition given to them by Venerable Lingji, ‘foolish’.”
Hearing this, Tian Peng couldn’t help but smiled faintly: “Who is not stupid? Who can really understand it? In fact, sometimes I think about it, what is the difference between me and them in my previous life? After all, they are all standing In a fixed position, one leaf obstructs the eyes, so that the distant scenery cannot be seen clearly.”
“Marshal’s past life was a loyal minister and a good general in the heavenly court.”
“Because I’m a loyal minister and a good general, so I’m not stupid?” Tian Peng glanced at Xuanzang helplessly, and said, “Master Xuanzang, don’t comfort me. I know what’s going on with me, I don’t need comfort. I have to thank Nezha for not letting me swallow that pill, otherwise… I’m afraid I’ll have to follow in this life again.”
Xuanzang’s eyes were fixed on the empty desk. After a long time, he sighed softly: “But not everyone has the chance of being a marshal. Therefore, the world still needs someone to go to Purdue.”
Tianpeng nodded, but only said one word: “difficult.”
…
Xuanzang prayed for blessings, this is a major event in Leiyin County. Of course, the point is this matter, which Lingji himself said.
For a time, the entire Leiyin County was mobilized, busy inside and out, and it was a festive scene. In just half a day, the tall prayer platform has been built. Although it is simple, every detail reveals the thoughts of the people of Leiyin County.
Not long after, under the leadership of the old county king, the team that greeted Xuanzang had already arrived outside the door.
At this moment, Xuanzang in the room had already finished grooming, put on a clean and tidy cassock, and put on the crown of ten thousand Buddhas. The clothes were the same as when they met the Tang Emperor, but the face was much more vicissitudes.
Fortunately, the original intention has not changed.
“Where’s the Great Sage? He, don’t you plan to go together?”
“It’s hard to say.” The canopy on the side replied softly: “Last night, something happened in Leiyin County, and he is still staring at Leiyin County.”
“Last night?”
“Actually, it wasn’t just last night, but also the day before yesterday.” After hesitating for a while, Tian Peng pursed his lips and said, “Maybe he will arrive later. I will follow you all the time to make sure there are no accidents. In addition, I also More than a dozen demons will pass by, and they will dress up as mortals and stay as close to the prayer platform as possible.”
Xuanzang nodded weakly.
As the canopy hid behind the screen, the door opened. A large number of people filed in. After a simple prayer, they went out to meet Xuanzang.
After they left, Lu Liuguai, who was also hiding behind the screen, asked in a low voice, “Marshal, you said you sent a dozen demon generals to dress up as mortals… Why haven’t I heard of it? The residents of Leiyin County are all Originally from Fengxian County, I’m afraid it’s not a good idea for strangers to appear.”
“Isn’t this ready-made?” Tian Peng glanced at Lu Liuguai lightly and said, “Didn’t the two demon generals perish before? Then we controlled more than a dozen people who knew about it and replaced them with ours. took them.”
“Oh…oh!” Lu Liuguai suddenly realized: “You mean them!”
“Of course it is them, and it can only be them.” Tianpeng sighed softly: “Firstly, they are responsible for protecting Master Xuanzang, just right, secondly…they themselves must go, otherwise, the neighbors will be suspicious. .”
“That’s right! I’ll make arrangements now!” shouting, Lu Liuguai hurriedly turned into a flying insect and flew out of the window. At the same time, the canopy also turned into a flying insect and chased in the direction Xuanzang left.
…
At this moment, the monkey is still hanging in the sky and still monitoring the Leiyin Temple. In the back hall of Leiyin Temple, Lingji and the six-eared macaque were still facing each other.
“What exactly did you do?”
“Good plan.”
“What is a good plan?”
“It’s not good, but if it works, it’s a good one.”
“Speak!” The six-eared macaque roared: “What conspiracy is it!”
“You can’t say it, you can’t say it. If you say it, it won’t work.” Lingji replied with a wide-eyed smile: “But then again, they can actually see through it. It’s a pity that the monkey is more vigilant, and his memory… But it’s not very good. .”
…
On the long and narrow streets, the people lined up on both sides, with their hands folded, waiting silently.
Xuanzang walked in the middle.
Behind , there were dozens of monks who had just shaved. In their hands, without exception, they were dragging the plates containing the instruments invited from Leiyin Temple. That look is very pious.
Soon, the brigade arrived at a clearing. In the middle of the open space, a prayer platform with a height of ten feet was erected early, made of bamboo.
Xuanzang couldn’t help but stop.
looked up and saw a gray sky. A gust of breeze blew, and the bamboo at the top of the prayer platform that stood out from the crowd trembled slightly.
In the distance, Xiao Bailong said cautiously: “Why does this bamboo platform look a little weak? You said, did they deliberately make a weak bamboo platform, and when they turned around, it collapsed and hurt Master Xuanzang. Woolen cloth?”
“Isn’t the marshal following along?” The black bear spirit on the side whispered: “No matter what, the marshal won’t let a bamboo platform hurt Master Xuanzang, right? Besides, our brother is still lurking inside. Don’t say yes Bamboo Terrace, even if someone shoots arrows at Master Xuanzang, he can’t hurt him.”
“Then you say, what is that Lingji doing with such a big battle? It can’t be for fun, right?”
The black bear spirit shook his head, expressing his incomprehension.
Xuanzang took a deep breath and walked towards the high platform step by step.
At this moment, no one noticed that the magical instruments placed on all sides of the high platform were flickering slightly. (To be continued~^~)
