Main Text Chapter 937 Bajie Rescues People
The gatekeeper disciple couldn't drive people away or let Bajie in. He could only report that a monk was looking for layman Niu to collect his debt.
Later, the shopkeeper Dezheng came out to verify the authenticity. Seeing that Bajie's sanctimonious appearance did not seem like a lie, he still didn't let Bajie in. Naturally, he wouldn't tell Bajie about Bajie's questions. He still regarded Niu as a layman. It was no longer an excuse to send Bajie away, nor could he just let anyone in.
Bajie wanted to burn down this shabby shop, but there was nothing obvious on the surface. He turned around and listened to the people on the street talking about what had just happened, and realized that the person who captured Miao Yi was from the Xicheng District Commandery here. He immediately asked about it. He quickly left for the Xicheng District Commander's Mansion.
Miao Yi, who was taken to the Xicheng District Commander's Mansion, went directly to the court. He was already used to the unreasonable behavior of the person inside.
In the courtroom, Xiahou Longcheng leaned on a chair with his feet propped on the long desk. He looked coldly at Miao Yi who walked in, waved his hands gently, and all his followers retreated.
"Niu Youde, do you have any idea about me marrying Huangfu?" Xiahou Longcheng asked as he lay there shaking his feet.
Marry Mao! They all slept with me! Miao Yi murmured in his heart, knowing that this guy had brought him here just for this matter, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Not yet."
Xiahou Longcheng suddenly came over, pointed at Miao Yi's nose and said angrily: "Then you still have the leisure to run around, I can't find you if I look for you. You are so courageous, how dare you not take my matter seriously !”
Miao Yi sighed: "I can't help it! It's not like you don't know about the expansion of the grocery store. I'm busy running around!"
Xiahou Longcheng asked angrily: "Is the expansion of the grocery store more important or me marrying a wife?"
It’s none of my business if you marry a wife! Miao Yi was helpless, "Commander Xiahou, you are powerful and yet are you afraid of not having a woman? Why can't you find any kind of beautiful woman? Why do you have to take advantage of Shopkeeper Huangfu?"
Xiahou Longcheng: "Can you find a more beautiful woman than Huangfu in the world?"
have to! Emotions are like playing harp to a cow. In this guy's eyes, only Huangfu Junxi is the most beautiful in the world! Miao Yi smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I won't help you, but Huangfu Junyan has conditions. I'm afraid you won't agree."
Xiahou Longcheng came casually, "What conditions? Just ask!"
Miao Yi said: "Bring-in-law! Shopkeeper Huangfu said that women from the Huangfu family do not marry. All men marry into the Huangfu family."
Xiahou Longcheng sneered, "What are the conditions? I've known for a long time that the Huangfu family breaks the rules. Isn't it just a marriage? It's a trivial matter."
Miao Yi's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "Commander Xiahou is willing to marry into his wife?" He thought it was impossible. This guy had an extraordinary background. The more extraordinary a person's background was, the less likely he was to marry into his wife.
"I can't afford to disgrace that person by getting married to my noble man!" Xiahou Longcheng said disdainfully: "As long as she is willing to follow me, the marriage is not a big deal. I will ask the Emperor of Heaven to grant a marriage, and I understand that the Huangfu family does not dare to do more. What I’m saying is that the key is for her to agree to marry me, do you understand?”
Miao Yi was shocked. This guy actually had a way to get Qingzhu to marry him. What kind of relationship background did he have? He couldn't help but ask: "Commander Xiahou, can you contact the Emperor of Heaven?"
When he mentioned this, Xiahou Longcheng hesitated to speak, and finally suppressed his words, obviously intending to avoid mentioning it. He waved his hand and said, "It's not your place to ask. Just hurry up and get things done. If Kou Wenlan gets the upper hand, I'll kill you."
Miao Yi asked tentatively: "Is Commander Kou willing to marry into his wife?"
"Shit! That pretty boy can ask the Emperor of Heaven for marriage, otherwise what qualifications does he have to steal a woman from me?" Xiahou Longcheng looked unhappy.
Miao Yi was speechless, and was secretly surprised in his heart that this guy in front of him and Kou Wenlan were such a strange couple, and they could actually lead their relationship to the Emperor of Heaven.
This made him more and more afraid. Once he killed this guy, he didn't know what kind of trouble would be caused. It would probably be more serious than robbing the spirit island. But what made him strange was that with such a relationship background, was he still short of money? Do you still need to go around to make money?
Just saying. Someone suddenly came to report from outside, "Sir, there is a monk from Paradise coming outside."
"What are the people from Paradise doing here?" Xiahou Longcheng was stunned and asked suspiciously, "Are you sure you are from Paradise?"
Don't call him weird. Even Miao Yi was surprised that Heaven and Paradise were the highest existences among the nine realms. He had never seen anyone from these two places, and he didn't know if Xiahou Longcheng came from Heaven.
The visitor said: "It looks like it, it shouldn't be fake."
Xiahou Longcheng asked again: "Looking for me?"
"I'm not looking for you, sir. I'm looking for him." The visitor pointed at Miao Yi and said, "This guy owes him money, and he's here to collect the debt."
"Looking for me?" Miao Yi pointed to his nose and said amusedly: "Why are you kidding? Can I owe Elysium money?"
Xiahou Longcheng was happy, waving his hands with interest: "Please come in, and we'll find out if we confront him face to face."
"Yes!" The visitor immediately retreated.
Xiahou Longcheng sat back behind the long desk to watch the excitement. Miao Yi also walked to the side and sat down on a chair, with a puzzled look on his face, who is there?
After a while, a holy monk in plain white robes was led in. He was handsome and aloof. He had an otherworldly feeling at first glance. He was indeed not the temperament of an ordinary monk. This style made Xiahou Longcheng stunned. It certainly doesn't look like a monk from an ordinary place.
Miao Yi was a little stunned. The monk who came was clearly Bajie. Miao Yi was speechless and secretly scolded this guy for what he was doing. He even dared to pretend to be someone from Paradise.
Bajie glanced around and saw Miao Yi sitting peacefully, not looking like something was wrong, and he felt relieved and relieved.
Seeing that he really looked like someone from the Paradise, Xiahou Longcheng couldn't be too arrogant, and walked around the long table and bowed, saying: "Xiahou Longcheng, the commander of the West District of Tianyuanxing Tianjie, greets you. I wonder where in the Paradise you are from?"
"Amitabha!" Bajie put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name, smiling faintly and holy: "Neither a demon nor a calamity, neither dwelling nor empty, without dust or dirt."
Xiahou Longcheng opened his mouth wide, a little confused, and didn't understand. Where did he come from?
He tilted his head to look at Miao Yi, wondering if Miao Yi understood. Since he knew Miao Yi, Miao Yi must know where he came from.
Who knew that Miao Yi was also tilting his head to look at him, and he didn't understand either, and wanted to see if he understood. Miao Yi thought that since Bajie dared to pretend to be a person from the Paradise, he must have heard a place name from somewhere to pretend, and Xiahou Longcheng might know where it was.
The two stared at each other.
In fact, Bajie meant not to be obsessed with where he came from, but Buddhists like this. They can make any words seem plausible and mysterious, which is called Zen, so that everyone can try hard to understand. In fact, in the end, they still have to eat, drink, defecate and urinate. Bajie is used to fooling people, and this tune is naturally played to perfection.
But Xiahou Longcheng didn't want to lose face, pretending to know something when he didn't know it, and nodded twice, saying "Oh, it's really a good place. I don't know your Dharma name, Master."
Miao Yi actually vaguely saw that he didn't seem to understand, and he was suspicious in his heart, do you really understand or just pretend to understand.
Bajie replied indifferently: "One abstain from killing, two abstain from stealing, three abstain from adultery, four abstain from lying, five abstain from drinking, six abstain from incense, seven abstain from sitting on a high and wide bed, Bajie abstain from eating at inappropriate times, my Dharma name is Bajie!"
Xiahou Longcheng was stunned when he heard it, and listened to understand for a long time. It felt like he didn't know until the end that he introduced the origins of a bunch of Dharma names first, and in the final analysis, it was just the last two words. Is it necessary to be so troublesome? He started to grumble in his stomach. It was really tiring to talk to this monk... He laughed dryly, "So it's Master Bajie..." He quickly got back to the point, afraid that he wouldn't be able to think straight, so he pointed at Miao Yi and said, "I heard that Master is here to collect debts from Niu Youde?"
"That's right!" Bajie nodded slightly, turned to Miao Yi and said, "Layman, I haven't seen you for many years. I'm here to ask you for the incense money."
Incense money? You're covered in incense! Miao Yi stood up and frowned, "I thought it was someone else, it turned out to be Master Bajie. Why are you here to collect money? Don't you even look at where this is?" He was a little angry, and there was some anger in his words. He had already explained that it was not good to be publicly involved with him here.
Bajie smiled and said, "With an empty heart and empty eyes, there is no place you can't go?"
Xiahou Longcheng curiously interrupted, "Master Bajie, how could he owe you money for incense? How much money does he owe you?"
Bajie turned to him and smiled slightly, "Money is cause and effect. It is only for the sake of cause and effect. The amount is not important. I think Commander Xiahou is quite intelligent. I would like to discuss the profound principles of Buddhism with him. What do you think?"
I don't have any wisdom! Xiahou Longcheng was suddenly confused and laughed dryly, "This commander is ignorant and not qualified to discuss Buddhism with you! That, this commander has official duties to attend to, so I won't bother you to collect money for incense." He bowed and sent him away.
Bajie immediately looked extremely regretful, while Xiahou Longcheng kept winking at Miao Yi, asking him to take this long-winded monk away quickly and not bother him here. He couldn't offend people in the Paradise casually.
Miao Yi didn't want to see Bajie messing around here, so he said goodbye quickly.
As soon as he walked out of the court, the star bell in the storage bracelet rang. It turned out to be Zhongli Kuai asking him where he was and saying he was coming to find him. Miao Yi naturally replied to the old place.
"Whose news?" Bajie asked curiously.
Miao Yi did not answer. He left the Commander's Mansion and walked on the street. Fang secretly sent a message to Bajie and scolded him, "You are so brave that you dare to pretend to be someone from the Paradise. Do you know what the background of Xiahou Longcheng is? This guy may be from the Heavenly Court. He can talk to Qingzhu and may have contacts with the Paradise. Once your trick is exposed, I want to see how you end up!"
Bajie was surprised and said, "This bear-like guy has such a big background? I have to get to know him if I have a chance."
Miao Yi said angrily, "Get to know him, this guy is greedy and It's unreasonable. Don't provoke him. Don't cause yourself trouble. I've provoked him now and I can't get rid of him. I ask you, did you ignore my words? I told you not to contact me publicly, so why did you come here? "
Bajie immediately complained, "What do you think I am! We saw you being taken away by the heavenly soldiers and generals at the inn. Sister-in-law was so anxious that I had no choice but to come to inquire about the news. Sister-in-law is still waiting for my reply."
"You go back first, I'll go in disguise." Miao Yi said and parted ways with Bajie at a street corner. (To be continued)
