Chapter 527 Chechi Country
"You must have come from afar and don't know what's going on in my city. Not to mention the civil and military officials in my city, they all like Taoism. There are portraits of some Taoist priests hanging in the homes of the common people. ”
"And my king likes Taoist priests even more."
Sun Wukong suddenly realized what he said and said quickly:
"I started setting out when I was young, and it took me a long time to get to this place. I really don't know what it is called. Please tell me the name of the place and why the king likes it. But can you give me the details? Say it again."
The two Taoist priests heard this and immediately said:
"The famous name here is Chechi Kingdom, and the king on the throne is still somewhat related to us."
Sun Wukong smiled and said:
"Did your Taoist priest become the emperor here?"
One of the Taoist priests heard this, looked at Sun Wukong's appearance, and slowly explained to Sun Wukong:
"No, it's just that my master and the emperor are sworn brothers, and they are the national master of this country."
Sun Wukong nodded when he heard this. After a while, Sun Wukong suddenly thought of some questions and said to the Taoist priests:
"Then why was he named a national master?"
After hearing what Sun Wukong said, the two Taoist priests thought carefully for a while, looked at each other, and then quietly said to Sun Wukong:
"A few years ago, we suffered from drought all year round. There was no rain, and all the food crops in the land were dead. Then three immortals came down from the sky and saved the lives."
"Those three immortals have the ability to turn stones into gold by calling for wind, rain, and water."
Sun Wukong nodded after hearing this and couldn't help but sigh:
"If you really have those skills, they are really amazing. How long did it take to practice to reach this point?"
The two little Taoist priests heard this and ignored what Sun Wukong said, and then said to Sun Wukong:
"Having said so much, I don't know if you have the idea of entering the palace with us. If that's the case, we can make an introduction to you."
When Sun Wukong heard this, he immediately felt very happy and quickly said to the two young Taoist priests:
"Are you really sure of this?"
After hearing this, the two young Taoist priests looked at Sun Wukong's confused look and said with great pride:
"You want to see my master, what's the problem? We are his darlings, and my master likes Taoist priests. He will go out as soon as he hears something. If the two of us bring you in, If so, it’s a no-brainer.”
When Sun Wukong heard this, he was very happy and saluted the two Taoist priests.
"In that case, it's up to you."
After a while, Sun Wukong asked the two Taoist priests again:
"Then what do these monks do? Why were they leaked to such an extent?"
After one of the Taoist priests heard what Sun Wukong said, he smiled and explained to Sun Wukong:
"When we were praying for rain, the monks were worshiping Buddha and the Taoist priests were praying. The government's relief food was simply not enough. There was nothing we could do if we just prayed in vain."
"Since my master came, he has solved the problem of grain production by calling for wind and rain. However, this incident angered the court. They said that the monk was of no use at all, so they demolished his mountain gate and destroyed his Buddha statue. No. Let them retire and return home.”
After hearing this, Sun Wukong said to them:
"If I say there is no fate, then there really is no fate. I'm afraid your master and I will never meet."
When the two Taoist priests heard this, they looked at Sun Wukong in confusion. Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong slowly explained to them:
"Since I have been traveling around the world, I have been doing it firstly for my life, and secondly to find my relatives."
"What other relatives do you have?"
The two Taoist priests asked Sun Wukong doubtfully.
After hearing this, Sun Wukong thought seriously for a while, then his eyes turned red and he said like the two Taoist priests:
"One of my masters became a monk when he was a child. Later he became a monk. He begged outside every day and never came home for such a long time."
"I came here to look for him because of the kindness of my ancestors. I must be unable to escape in a place like this. In fact, I don't know how to find him."
The two Taoist priests were also fools and did not hear what Sun Wukong said at all. The two Taoist priests patted Sun Wukong on the shoulders and said to Sun Wukong:
"Don't worry about this. Sit here first. Later you can follow us to the beach to check and see which one is your uncle. If there is one, then we will let him go. Go to town with you."
Sun Wukong was immediately grateful after hearing this, and came to the beach with the Taoist priests. Seeing this, the monks knelt down and kowtowed together and said:
"We have never been lazy. There are not many of us in the five hundred, and they are all here pulling carts."
When Sun Wukong heard this, he felt very proud and said to them:
"Do you know what I'm laughing at? I'm laughing at the fact that you monks haven't made any progress at all. Your parents originally gave birth to you to worship the Buddha and follow the Dharma."
"But what I didn't expect was that you would become slaves to these Taoist priests."
After hearing what Sun Wukong said, all the monks were very angry. One of them finally couldn't help it anymore and said to Sun Wukong:
"It's okay if you don't come to help us. Why do you want to humiliate us? You must be from outside and don't know how bad my place is."
After all the monks finished speaking, they immediately shed tears and said:
"The king of our country is only partial to Taoism and has harmed us."
Sun Wukong looked surprised when he heard this. Upon seeing this, the monks quickly explained to Sun Wukong:
"Because of the influence of wind and rain, those three immortals came to our place and destroyed us. In order to deceive the king, they tore up all our lives. They would not let us go back and they would not allow us to be officials. We could only do it for those immortals. We are slaves.”
"Those Taoist priests must be able to use some magic to deceive the kings. If they are just calling for wind and rain, it is just a heresy and will not move the hearts of those kings at all."
After Sun Wukong said this, he looked at the monks with a puzzled look.
"They can also turn water into a friend and stone into a foundation. Now they have built the three temple monsters. They are all praying for the king to live forever, so they have shaken the king's heart."
Sun Wukong suddenly realized what he said and said to the monks:
"If this is the case, then you should leave now."
