I, Dasheng Sun, swear not to become a Buddha

After knocking, he also took three steps back.

Although the old lady looked forward to it, she didn't dare to go forward, and only stood with the strong man.

There is no cure for tuberculosis these days, and it is useless to hire any mage.

It would be possible to invite a master of alchemy like Monkey King to cure it, but the value of a pill is at least a few thousand taels.

For such an ordinary family, it is impossible to earn so much money in a lifetime.

"Crack~" The courtyard door opened, and the old lady and the strong man took another two steps back.

"Mother? Second brother? Why are you here?"

The woman opened the door and saw an old man and a young man outside the door, she was taken aback for a moment, then said softly.

Sun Wukong could tell at a glance that the woman was indeed suffering from tuberculosis, and that she was not cured at all!

It's just that she has changed her soul, and the ghost in her body is able to walk in her body, so she is naturally not afraid of tuberculosis.

But these people don't have cultivation bases, if they get close to this woman, they will probably be infected with tuberculosis.

"Sister! Are you alright?" the strong man asked without daring to step forward.

"Green grass! The master that mother found for you really works?" Seeing that the girl is fine, the old lady immediately wanted to step forward.

Sun Wukong frowned and was about to make a move, when the woman spoke first.

"Mom! Don't come here!"

The child leaned on the door frame and said:

"The master said that my illness is just right, and I am forbidden to see outsiders. It will take seven days and seven nights to go out. Then I have to go to the master to fulfill my vows, and then I will be completely cured."

The old lady was taken aback and said, "It's been so long. Do you still have rice at home? I'll ask your second brother to bring some over later."

The strong man also nodded in agreement.

The woman supported her forehead and said: "Mother, second brother. Don't worry, there was some rice grain left at home. My husband also left some money for me. When I recover from illness, I can also take care of the few acres of Susukida at home. alright."

"Go back quickly, the mage said that I can't see the wind now." The woman said again.

The old lady nodded and said with tears in her eyes: "Okay! Then you take good care of your illness, and I will ask your second brother to send you some more rice in a while. After seven days, we will accompany you to the temple. Thank you mage."

After the old lady finished speaking, she waved her hand, and the woman closed the door and went back.

After Sun Wukong's spiritual sense saw the woman close the door, he went back into the room expressionlessly, and sat there motionless.

"Second brother. I'll bring a bag of rice for your sister in a while, and get some vegetables. Just put it at her door, and you won't go into the hospital." The old lady told her son again.

The strong man still agreed honestly.

"Sister-in-law of the Xu family! Congratulations, your daughter has been snatched back from Lord Yan." The older woman stepped forward to congratulate her.

"Yes, yes! It's amazing, tuberculosis can be cured!" The woman holding the child also said.

"Hey! This is all good luck! If the second daughter-in-law burned incense and met this mage that day, Qingcao might be... alas!" The old lady said with emotion.

"I don't know if it's the monk in that temple. Someday the neighbors in the neighborhood will suffer from illness so we can ask for help." The elderly woman asked.

I heard the old lady say, "It's the Anle Temple to the north of the Weishui Bridge."

===Chapter 1219? Anle Temple===

Chapter 1219 Anle Temple

"Anle Temple, isn't it the one on the north bank of the Weishui River? I know. I used to go there in the past, but I didn't see any decent master there."

"Yeah, I've been there too. The year before last, my mother-in-law took me to beg for a baby. Burning more than a dozen sticks of incense didn't help. Then I got this little baby after I prayed to Sensing Fairy."

The old lady smiled and said with some rejoicing:

"You don't know yet? Last month, an out-of-town monk came to the Anle Temple, called Master Mingxuan. This master is extremely fulfilling and always responds to requests. Many people have gone to him. I heard that he is from the West. The disciple of Master Sanzang."

These women seemed to have heard of Tang Seng's name, and when the old lady mentioned Tang Seng, they all started talking about it.

"Master Sanzang? That is an eminent monk who got it. I heard that he is the brother of His Majesty the Emperor. Master Mingxuan is actually his disciple. No wonder he has such a great ability!"

"That's right! I've heard people say that Master Sanzang is about to return to the Eastern Land. At that time, he will promote Buddhism and save the world. When the time comes, the country will prosper and the people will be happy!"

"Oh? There is another saying? Tell me about it."

……

Sun Wukong came out of Huayin City, just now the women's parents mentioned Tang Monk learning scriptures.

And someone even said that Tang Seng is coming back soon.

"The Buddhist sect has sent the news back? And it's still spreading among the common people."

"What is their purpose?"

"What does this female ghost have to do with this matter?"

Sun Wukong frowned and thought.

"Huh, huh, huh~" There was the sound of water flowing in front of me.

He walked not far from the north gate, and he reached the bank of Weishui River.

The female ghost is there, and she won't be able to run away for at least seven days. He is going to meet that Master Mingxuan now.

There is a small bridge over the Weishui River, and there are many pedestrians coming and going. This is the only small bridge across the river nearby.

Go along the small bridge, and you will arrive at Anle Temple in less than half an hour.

Walking on the small bridge, the words of the common people caught Monkey King's attention again.

"Have you heard? Master Sanzang is coming back soon!"

"Oh? But you can get the scriptures?"

"That's natural! Dharma Master Sanzang is a scripture taker hand-picked by Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. This time, he must bring the Dharma back to the Eastern Land."

"That's great, my mother is a believer in giving alms to monks. I'll go back and tell her the old man in a while."

"If only I could go to Chang'an to have a look at Master Sanzang's demeanor!"

"That's right! I heard that this kind of eminent monk can increase his blessings just by looking at him."

"I am envious of the people in Chang'an, who can see the demeanor of an eminent monk!"

Walking on the stone bridge, some people were discussing the news of Tang Seng's return.

It seems that someone spread the news on purpose to create momentum for Tang Seng's return to the East in advance.

From the effect point of view, the people of Tang Tu are very enthusiastic about Tang Seng.

Moreover, Monkey King discovered that there are actually many Buddhist believers here.

This number is far beyond Sun Wukong's imagination. He originally thought that Tang soil was the foundation of Taoism, and there were not many Buddhist believers.

It is true that there are not many monks in Chang'an City, and even the monks of Huasheng Temple rarely come out to contact the outside world.

It gives people the feeling that Buddhism cannot be enjoyed in Datang.

Unexpectedly, what he saw now surprised Monkey King a little.

After leaving Chang'an and going to the grassroots, the facts are far from what Chang'an sees.

Especially the people at the bottom, their belief in Buddhism is extremely devout.

Sun Wukong only observed it in Huayin, and he wanted to understand the truth.

The life of the people at the bottom of Tang soil is not rich, even though the country is still prosperous after the development of Zhenguan rule.

The people at the bottom still have a lot of hunger and fullness.

Moreover, although Li Shimin worked hard to govern, the Tang Dynasty had only been established for 30 years, and half of the time was spent fighting east and west.

Coupled with the use of foreign troops in recent years, the lives of the people have become even less prosperous.

For the common people, they are more willing to accept the Buddhist idea of ​​liberation.

I hope that in my next life I can be reborn in a wealthy family, so that I will not suffer from hunger and cold.

And the idea of ​​Buddhism just meets the needs of the common people. As long as you do good deeds in this life and fast to monks to preach, you can be born in a wealthy family in your next life.

Sun Wukong could only shake his head and sigh at this. He himself is the Yin God of Hades, and he knows nothing about reincarnation.

Moreover, he is a person from later generations who has traveled through time, so he has a more thorough understanding of this matter.

Does the fasting monk preach and do good deeds have any effect on the reincarnation of the next life?

Yes, but very little.

Moreover, this effect will gradually decrease as the number of believers increases.

When the number of people who believe in Buddhism in a country reaches a certain number, and the number of monks is prosperous.

Then their people will be reborn in the next life, and [-]% of them will be extremely poor.

For no other reason.

There are more monks, the country is declining, and the people's life can only get worse and worse.

The first mortal to recognize this should be the poet Du Mu.

In the 480 temples of the Southern Dynasties, how many buildings were in the mist and rain.

A line of poetry, the Tao has exhausted the internal and external causes and key points.

Incense is flourishing everywhere, but people's homes are cut off from cooking smoke.

It's a pity that the people of the moment are pursuing this illusory blessing.

In fact, it is not difficult to solve this problem. As long as the people's lives are really better, their thinking will gradually change.

Sun Wukong knew that the best days for the people of the Tang Dynasty should be the Kaiyuan prosperity created by Li Longji's era.

During Wu Zetian's reign, he worshiped Buddhism and destroyed Taoism, and the people at the bottom had a lot of beliefs in Buddhism.

Although the national power is prosperous on the surface, in fact the people are not living well.

Moreover, the territory of the Tang Dynasty is actually shrinking.

When Li Longji came to power and began to work hard to govern, the country gradually prospered and the people lived well.

This gradually reversed the extremely strong situation of Buddhism in Tang soil.

Now based on various information, it seems that Li Longji may be the person supported by the Taoist sect to get rid of Wu Zetian's policy of destroying Buddhism.

The effect is also very obvious. After the prosperity of Kaiyuan, the Buddhist sect spent a lot of effort to recover its vitality.

But when Wu Zong ascended the throne, another powerful extermination of Buddha came.

Only then did the Buddhist sect finally fully realize that the Taoist sect's resolute defense of Tang Tu.

Since then, Buddhism has never made any big moves in Tangtu.

Of course, these are things to follow.

The present period is an era when Buddhism is extremely active and Taoism retreats.

The prosperity of Buddhism is unstoppable.

Sun Wukong thought a lot while walking on the road.

Then look up to the outside of Anle Temple.

This temple is not too big, that is, it is a three-entry temple, but the incense is very strong.

The censer at the door has been filled, and there are even shrines set up by believers on the ground on both sides.

From what the pilgrims said, they knew that most of the incense in Anle Temple was brought by Master Mingxuan.

He placed orders here for two months and helped many people in Huayin City.

Whether it is to exorcise evil spirits, cure diseases, pray for blessings, or tell fortunes.

Whatever the people need, this master Mingxuan can answer questions, just like an all-knowing and all-powerful person.

This also aroused Monkey King's curiosity, to see what the monk did.
