Seeing that the leading immortal was beaten until he vomited blood, the soldiers did not dare to act rashly and did not know what to do for a moment.
"There is no need to panic, monks and nuns generally do not kill animals." Tang Sen showed a kind smile.
"Please take us to the palace, please. This poor monk has something to ask for."
Everyone looked at each other in shock, but after seeing Tang Sen's methods, they did not dare to neglect.
A little boss stood up and said, "May I ask the eminent monk if you want to meet the saint?"
They did not dare to neglect the masters, nor did they dare to take these people to see the king without authorization. If these people committed an assassination, they would inevitably be guilty of the same crime, which would implicate the nine clans.
"The poor monk came from the Tang Dynasty in the east and went to the west to worship Buddha and seek Buddhist scriptures. He asked to see the king about state affairs."
Well, the exchanges between countries are called state affairs, and there's nothing wrong with that.
The younger brother of the King of Tang Dynasty?
"Master, what credentials do you have?" The little leader was quite cautious. After all, this was a matter concerning the Nine Clans, and he did not dare to make any mistakes.
Tang Sen thought for a while, took out the customs clearance document and threw it over.
The man opened it and saw that the imperial seal of the Tang Dynasty was on the front page. He had no doubts at that moment.
He respectfully returned the customs clearance document and took Tang Sen and others to the palace to meet the saint.
…
royal palace.
"Report!!! The special envoy from the Eastern Land and Tang Dynasty came to ask for an audience." A eunuch hurriedly entered the hall to report.
"Oh?" King Chechi, who was sitting in a high position, became interested after hearing this. He knew that the Tang Dynasty was a powerful dynasty in the east.
How powerful is it? It is said that they once destroyed a large kingdom by just sending one person, but now he is confident.
On the contrary, he was a little curious about the reason for the arrival of Tang Sen and others. He loosened his arms around the beauty in his arms, stopped eating the grapes on his lips, and waved away the beauties.
"Pass." He calmed down, straightened his messy royal robe, straightened his crown, and said majestically.
"Xuan, the envoy from the Tang Dynasty wants to see you."
"Xuan, the envoy from the Tang Dynasty wants to see you."
…
The sound spread from layer to layer, all the way to the palace gate.
The guards guarding the palace then removed their spears and let Tang Sen and his party in.
"Be brave, why don't you kneel down when you meet the king!"
Tang Sen and others entered the palace. Before Tang Sen could say anything, someone shouted angrily and gave Tang Sen a slap in the face.
"Amitabha, I'm a monk and a monk, please forgive me for not being able to do this properly." Tang Sen just turned his head slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he was so frightened that the man no longer dared to speak, he could only shrink his head and tremble.
Tang Sen just bowed slightly and performed a Buddhist salute.
"Hahaha, the master is a special envoy of the Celestial Empire, so there is no need to be polite." King Chechi laughed loudly, and the caution in his eyes flashed away.
The person just now was naturally arranged by him. He wanted to give the monk a show of strength, but unfortunately it seemed that he couldn't scare him. The eunuch also failed to live up to his expectations and now he doesn't dare to raise his head.
This place is far away from the high road of Datang Mountain, so the king is not very afraid. In addition, there are three national teachers, so he has the idea of trying it.
"Your Majesty, this poor monk just came to your place and saw many monks working hard outside the city. I wonder why?"
"Oh, what does the envoy have to say about the internal affairs of our country?" King Chechi said calmly.
"I don't dare to see the teacher. The poor monk is just curious. Most Buddhist disciples are compassionate. I don't think they would have committed a huge crime and been punished like this." Tang Sen looked at the king's unruly look and sighed.
This is too young.
"It's okay to tell the envoy. Just because these monks talk nonsense and brag about themselves, but they have never asked for a drop of rain, I punish them for the crime of deceiving the emperor.
"I haven't asked yet, what did the envoy learn from me here?"
"The poor monk, under the orders of the King of Tang, went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. He passed through your country and came here to stamp the customs clearance certificate."
"Oh, it's a small matter, please present it, and I will let you go west immediately." King Chechi heard this and was just passing by. He greeted the people around him, presented the customs clearance document, and had to stamp it.
At this time, a eunuch hurriedly came to the palace and whispered a few words to the king.
The hand that picked up the jade seal put it down again, and the seal was naturally not stamped.
"I heard that the master released monks privately outside the city, and also marked Taoist priests from the national preceptor's house. Is this true?" King Chechi said with great interest.
"It's true."
Hearing the king's words of guilt, Tang Sen did not deny it. It came just in time. Tang Sen was trying to find a way to save the monks in the country. In the end, it was inevitable that he would have to have a battle and compete with each other.
"Oh, Master, do you know that these monks are charged with serious crimes, and Master let them go without permission, but they have committed a serious crime." King Chechi said pretending to sigh.
"Alas" Tang Sen sighed, these people are looking for death.
"The poor monk is willing to discuss the Dharma and Tao with the national teacher in order to atone for the sins of the monks."
"Oh, that's very good. I'll pass it on to three national teachers."
There are people who go to the Imperial Prefect’s Mansion to deliver the message.
…
"Report!!! The three national masters we sent were beaten!"
Before the three of them could make any move, another person followed.
"The king has a decree to invite three national teachers to go to the palace. There is a monk from the Tang Dynasty who wants to discuss the Dharma with the national teachers."
The eunuch who delivered the order was extremely respectful and did not look arrogant when faced with the others. He could still tell the difference between the big and small kings in this country. Even the king had to look at the faces of the three national teachers, not to mention that he was a small king.
A young eunuch.
When the three of them heard this, they knelt down and refused to accept the imperial edict. "Brother, it seems we can't avoid it." Immortal Yangli said with a heavy face.
Incidents like these are getting them together with Tang Sen and others. It's God's will.
"Since we can't avoid it, we brothers will go and meet that monk for a while." Great Immortal Huli smiled heartily, got up and walked towards the palace. The eunuch behind him who was delivering the order bowed and followed him, being as respectful as possible.
Above the court hall, Master Tang Sen, his apprentice and the Imperial Master stood on both sides.
Green Lion and Red Boy were left by Tang Sen to look after the monks at Zhiyuan Temple to prevent anyone from carrying out a sneak attack while he was away.
"Master, we in Buddhism and Taoism always do not interfere with rivers. How about we let you go west?" Great Immortal Lu Li wanted to give it a last try. It is always better not to fight. He felt vaguely uneasy in his heart. Seeing Tang Sen
At that moment, I felt very uneasy.
"What do you mean by the three national masters? Since the master wants to see the immortal magic, I think it is better to let him see the magical powers of the national master." King Chechi said proudly on the throne.
After saying that, he saw Great Immortal Yangli turning his head and looking at him, his eyes full of coldness and indifference, as if he was looking at a dead person.
He somehow offended the Immortal Master and did not dare to speak anymore, so he could only sit on the high seat in fear.
"Oh, the poor monk came here for these tens of millions of monks. As long as the three national masters promise not to pursue the crimes of these monks, the poor monk will go west." Tang Sen actually has no ill intentions towards the real Taoist priests. As a monk,
These monks really cannot be ignored.
"Then there is no room for negotiation on this matter?" Great Immortal Huli said with a gloomy face.
This Che Chi State upholds Taoism and suppresses Buddhism. This is the attitude expressed by the three of them. This is a matter of principle and stance, which cannot be shaken.
"The poor monk has no choice but to ask you for advice."
"You are arrogant!" Huli Great Immortal was furious. He had not experienced the feeling of being so despised by others for a long time.
"The poor monk heard that the imperial master is good at praying for rain, and tens of millions of monks have been punished for it. The poor monk can learn how to pray for rain." Tang Sen said, and walked out of the hall. Naturally, this prayer for rain must be in the open space.
.
The Great Immortal Hu Li was about to catch up when his arm was suddenly grabbed by the Immortal Lu Li. When he turned around, he saw the Immortal Lu Li shaking his head at him, clearly telling him not to compete.
"Silly third brother, we have already entered the game." Immortal Huli pointed his right hand upward, sighed, broke free of his arm, and went up.
The rest of the people naturally followed him out of the palace, and King Chechi also moved to his seat outside the palace. Although he didn't understand why the imperial master looked at him with such terrifying eyes just now, he thought it was an illusion.
Naturally, he couldn't miss this kind of excitement.
The fighting platform was built high outside the imperial city, and the two of them competed to pray for rain.
On this day, the sun was shining brightly, and it didn't look like it was going to rain.
When I heard that the imperial master was going to fight with a monk to pray for rain, all the people in the city gathered here and surrounded the place with water.
"Hey, have you heard? There is a monk who wants to compete with the master to pray for rain." A scholar wearing a green robe said to the person next to him.
"Your information is out of date. I heard that this monk came from the distant Tang Dynasty. He seems to have some skills."
"Hmph, no matter how talented you are, how can you possibly be better than the Imperial Master? The Imperial Master is an immortal, capable of anything and everything." The scholar spoke highly of the Imperial Master, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at the powerful immortal in the field.
"Yes, that year, there was a severe drought across the country. Fortunately, the Imperial Master cast a spell, and the heavens sent rain. Countless people were alive. My whole family was able to survive because of the Imperial Master. The Imperial Master can be said to be my reborn parents."
"Who says otherwise? The national master's merits are immeasurable. How can this little monk be on par with the national master? It's ridiculous."
"Come on, Imperial Master, defeat the monk!"
"Come on, Imperial Master, defeat the monk!"
…
The voices of the crowd outside the stadium finally converged into this sentence.
When Tang Sen heard these unanimous words, his eyes moved slightly. Can this be considered a good demon?
Doesn't it count? He lives as a countryman and seeks for the sweet rain. This is no different from the Buddhist idea of saving all sentient beings.
What? He enslaved thousands of monks and suffered numerous casualties.
How to calculate this?
Tang Sen couldn't think clearly at the moment. Most things in this world are like this. Right and wrong are always relative.
But there are always positions. For example, Tang Sen, he is now a Buddhist disciple. He cannot ignore these monks.
Who can tell the difference between right and wrong?
