Chapter 1373 A country’s believers, the mysterious pig demon!
Hearing him mention the four words Lingji Bodhisattva, the figure of the headless corpse flashed in Qin Yao''s mind, and he said in a solemn voice: "Who did you ask for this conclusion?"
King Shah hesitated for a moment and said: "It''s my king. He said that the Buddhist world was offended by the Sihari Kingdom''s move to destroy the Buddha, so the Buddhist world sent Lingji to deal with the matter. They Buddhists said, "Let''s go." People are forgiving, but in fact they act extremely viciously.
After Naringji came to our country, he first threw a strange insect called fùbǎn into the sea of ????sand. When he heard the sound of drums, it moved and destroyed homes and houses, reducing our country to what it is today. ruins.
Then because of our act of respecting rats and destroying Buddhas, all our subjects turned into rats..."
Qin Yao remembered that he seemed to have seen the country of Sihali in the original work of Journey to the West. After thinking about it carefully, Zhu Bajie probably said something when he passed by the Flame Mountain: There is a country of Sihali on the road to the west, which is the place where the sun sets. Called ''the end of the sky''.
If it comes to Shenyou time, the king will send people to the city, beating drums and blowing horns, mixing with the sound of the boiling sea.
The sun is the true fire of the sun, falling between the Western Sea, like fire quenching water, and the sound is boiling; if there is no sound of drums and horns mixed in the ears, it will kill the children in the city. This place is so hot and steamy that it must be the place where the sun sets...
In this passage, the most eye-catching thing is "the sound of drums and horns, killing children", and in the black myth, this story should be adapted, so it became Lingji''s God''s punishment.
"Why do you want to destroy the Buddha in the country?" Qin Yao asked curiously after coming back to his senses.
The King of Shah smiled bitterly and said: "Because of the boiling sound of the Western Sea at sunset, our country''s children have been suffering from it. The Buddha gave a Buddhist drum. By beating the drum, the sound can be neutralized, so the disaster was relieved and the whole people believed in Buddhism."
But as Buddhism continued to prosper, the power of Buddhism in the country even surpassed the power of the king. Even if someone commits the serious crime of assassinating a prince, as long as he shaves his head and announces that he has escaped into Buddhism, the laws of our country can no longer do anything to him.
As time passed, the conflict between the two parties reached an irreconcilable point. "
Qin Yao was silent.
Who is right?
Who is wrong?
From different standpoints, there are different answers.
"Bang bang bang, bang bang bang."
While he was silent, King Shah suddenly started to frantically forehead his forehead, even if his head was broken, he would not stop: "Buddha of merit, you are a person with great supernatural powers, and you are also the only big person that Xiao Wang can come into contact with.
If we still have hope to escape from the rat body and transform into adults, then this last bit of hope can only be brought by you.
I beg you, please, please have mercy and save our country.
Xiao Wang cannot give you any generous reward, but he is willing to offer you his faith and worship you day and night. "
"Faith..." Qin Yao''s heart moved and he murmured to himself.
The big mouse saw his elderly father knocking his head until his head was covered with blood, and he felt increasingly uncomfortable. However, he could not do anything. He could only imitate his father, kneel down on the ground with a plop, and kowtow heavily.
The next moment.
Qin Yao suddenly saw the surging platinum power of faith from King Sha, like delicious food within reach, making the power of faith in his soul ready to move.
It goes without saying that the power of faith is magical, but for him, because he has not cultivated it carefully and has not shown miracles for a long time, the number of his fanatical believers is constantly decreasing in various time and space.
This resulted in the power of faith transmitted to him through the air getting worse and worse, and at the same time, it could not keep up with the progress of his practice.
Before becoming an immortal, the power of faith existed as his trump card, integrating offense and defense, healing, and expelling abnormal conditions, not to mention it.
But now…
Its quality is so poor that it is of no use in expanding the realm of the Kingdom of God, let alone fighting.
The last time he used this power was to help Qiao Ling''er stabilize her soul, purely as a healing skill...
After a long time.
Qin Yao woke up from his memories, raised his hand to absorb the power of faith flowing in King Sha, and injected it into the Kingdom of God. He saw a white-gold cloud suddenly appear on the sky of God''s Kingdom.
After staring at the clouds for a long time, Qin Yao''s soul suddenly appeared in the sky above the Kingdom of God, controlling the clouds to merge into the realm of the Kingdom of God.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
After absorbing this power, the realm of the Kingdom of God expanded again, quickly increasing by a hundred miles.
A hundred miles, not a million miles, is nothing compared to the absorption of the Tathagata Buddha''s spiritual abyss, but this is just the devout belief of King Sha, what if it develops to the whole country?
The power of faith brought by a country''s fanatical believers should be considerable, right?
Thinking of this, he raised his hand and placed it on King Sand''s head. Holy white light flowed from his palm and merged into the little mouse''s body in circles.
And with the continuous baptism of the power of faith, black smoke poured out from its eyes, ears, mouth and nose, the tail behind it quickly shortened, and the original ugly rat face gradually returned to a human appearance.
Not long after, when King Sha completely returned to his human form, Qin Yao slowly raised his palm and looked inside the realm of the Kingdom of God, and found that the power of faith consumed was only one-fifteenth of what he had just obtained!
"Dad, you have become a human."
Watching this scene, the big mouse''s eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he said nonchalantly.
King Shah reached out and touched his face, then turned his hand away and touched his butt. He was so surprised that he burst into tears: "I have become a human, I have finally become a human..."
It would be okay if he were a pure rat demon and could cultivate from a demon body into a human body, but he is not.
He was turned into a mouse under the curse and could not even practice cultivation. Because of this, he had no nostalgia for the monster body. Being a new man would bring tears to his eyes.
After crying happily, King Shah wiped away his tears, raised his leg and kicked the big mouse: "Erlang, what are you waiting for? Kowtow quickly."
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Sha Erlang didn''t hesitate at all, kowtowed crazily, and in a blink of an eye, his forehead was broken, and his forehead was bloody.
But precisely because of this piety and hope, he also became a fanatical believer, and the power of faith above his head shone with white-gold light in the sunlight.
Qin Yao absorbed the power of his high-quality faith, and used the power of faith of ordinary believers to lift his own curse, allowing him to quickly restore his human body.
"I''ve become a human too, Dad, I''ve become a human too."
After touching him randomly, Sha Erlang suddenly picked up his father and threw him over his head.
King Sha was so frightened that he almost had a heart attack. He kicked his short legs to the head of Sha Lao Er: "You bastard, you bastard, put me down."
Sha Erlang caught his father and put him in front of him, hehehe.
Qin Yao couldn''t help laughing and said: "Call all the subjects of your country, and I will lift the curse on them all."
"Thank you very much, Buddha. The merits of Buddha are immeasurable." King Shah knelt down and said.
Qin Yao raised his hand, and a fairy spirit lifted him up: "You don''t have to kneel down every now and then, I don''t care about these vulgar etiquette."
Nowadays, he only wants to have one thought and act according to his heart.
Because of this, there are interests in saving King Shah and even the entire Kingdom of Shari, but more importantly, he has no objection to this matter.
On the other hand, just like the task Lingji asked, if he doesn''t want to do it, then he won''t do it.
Not to mention that the reward the other party gave was just a Wind-fixing Pearl. Even if he gave himself the Feilong Zen Staff, he wouldn''t do it!
Today, he no longer has to compromise...half an hour later.
The remaining 4,667 subjects of the Sihari Kingdom, including their soldiers and civilians, all stood in front of Qin Yao. Under King Sha''s personal explanation, they all knelt down on the ground, with infinite hope and pious faith. Looking with shining eyes towards the saint who came to save them.
Qin Yao really didn''t expect that only this few people were left in the entire Sihari Kingdom. However, after he spent a day and a night to convert all the more than 4,000 rat people back into humans, his realm of the Kingdom of God still increased. A full three hundred and ninety thousand miles.
There are only a few hundred thousand miles left to completely make up for this shortcoming.
It''s a pity that he has no cultivation resources now and cannot fill this last gap in the shortest possible time...
"Buddha, I have an eldest son who is currently living in the Buji Valley of Salmon Village. I beg you to come with me."
In the early morning, when the first ray of sunshine broke through the sky, after the last person here was rescued, King Shah bowed deeply and said with piety on his face.
Qin Yao nodded slightly: "Let''s go and save people until the end."
King Shah was deeply moved and said sincerely: "You are the true Buddha we deserve to believe in and follow~"
Qin Yao knew that he was thinking of Lingji, so he waved his hand and said nothing more.
He doesn''t like to step on others to improve himself. It''s unnecessary and meaningless.
In the blink of an eye, the two father and son led their subjects and surrounded Qin Yao to the Buji Valley in Shamen Village. The huge demon rat hiding in the valley sensed the breath of human flesh and blood, and gradually poked out its **** and dirty rat head.
"My son!" Looking at this terrifying rat face and recalling the heroic eldest son in his memory, King Shah couldn''t help but burst into tears again, and his heart was twisted.
That Lingji was so cruel, he deserved to have his head chopped off by King Huang Feng in a sneak attack.
Sha Dalang seemed to have lost his mind. He didn''t recognize his own father, and even opened his mouth to bite him.
Qin Yao slowly raised his right hand, and a white light wave condensed out of thin air in his palm, which instantly hit Sha Dalang''s rat face.
Sha Dalang only felt that there was a vast whiteness in front of his eyes, and then he gradually got out of the hazy state, his brain gradually became clear, and the past memories flashed in his mind like pictures...
Lean less.
Sha Dalang transformed from a giant rat demon into a naked and heroic young man. He looked at his father and younger brother in front of him and murmured: "Huan Ye, Meng Ye?"
King Shah hugged his eldest son with his whole body trembling, and said: "It is neither an illusion nor a dream, you are really back, and our country of Sihari has ushered in real light and hope."
Sha Dalang woke up from a dream and hugged his father with his backhand, with a hint of sobs in his voice: "Father..."
"Quickly kneel down and thank the Holy Buddha." King Shah suddenly came back to his senses, patted the eldest son''s back gently, and said seriously.
Sha Dalang let go of his father, looked at Qin Yao, and knelt down with a thud: "Thank you, Holy Buddha!"
Qin Yao raised his hand to collect the power of the fanatic believer in him, temporarily stored it in the realm of the Kingdom of God, and nodded slightly: "Get up."
Sha Dalang stood up happily, turned around and asked, "Dad, where is Sanlang?"
King Shah''s expression froze and he remained silent.
Sha Dalang''s heart skipped a beat: "He''s gone?"
"Since that day he left to learn the art of subduing demons, he never came back." King Shah said sadly.
From his point of view, their family is a microcosm of the Sihari Kingdom.
Just because of Buddha''s misfortune, the family was destroyed and people died.
Just because of Buddha''s misfortune, the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed.
Of course, this is just his own position.
Looking at it from the perspective of Xitian or Lingji, it is another story.
At this time, Sha Dalang breathed out softly and said: "It''s just that he didn''t come back... It''s not like there was bad news. Perhaps, he is still practicing Taoism with an expert in a distant mountain."
Hearing this, King Shah quickly put away his sadness and turned to look at Qin Yao: "Holy Buddha saves my subjects in the country and rebuilds them with kindness. I should help you without reservation.
But King Huangfeng is also kind to me and our Sihari country, so I can''t hurt him. Dare I ask the Holy Buddha, why are you looking for the king? "
Qin Yao said softly: "Maybe he has something I want in his hand."
King Shah knelt down and said: "Holy Buddha, although the king is a demon, his nature is not bad. If you find him and get back your things, can you spare his life?"
Sha Erlang also knelt down and echoed: "Holy Buddha, great king, is not bad; great bird, deserves it!"
Qin Yao knew that the big bird in his mouth must be Lingji. He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I am not here to kill any living thing. If he is willing to hand over the spiritual object, then I will not make things difficult for him."
"Thank you, Holy Buddha." King Shah kowtowed heavily.
Qin Yao glanced at him and said: "I won''t force you to compromise between loyalty and righteousness. You can live a good life with these remnants. It is best to leave Huangfengling and find another home."
King Sha was so grateful that he once again gathered a strong power of faith. After they formally established their faith relationship, Qin Yao no longer needed to take the initiative to collect it. He automatically flew into his kingdom and turned into pieces of white clouds...
"As a human being, stay away from gods, Buddhas and monsters." Qin Yao gave his final advice and then drifted away.
A few hours later.
late at night.
Qin Yao slowly came to a temple. Just as he was about to step up the stone steps, a lazy voice suddenly came from the side: "There is an evil tiger in the temple, monk. Be careful when you go in and it will turn into rations."
Qin Yao paused for a moment, followed the sound, and saw a pig-headed monster in a yellow robe sitting in a corner, holding a gourd and pouring silver-like wine into his mouth.
"Who are you?"
Looking at the pig monster''s blood-red fangs, he thought about all the monsters in the original Journey to the West in an instant, but he couldn''t find any that matched it.
"The name is just a code name. I wear a yellow robe, so you just call me a member of the yellow robe." The pig demon put down the wine bottle and said with a smile.
Qin Yao nodded: "Hello Huangpao, goodbye Huangpao."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the temple.
Pig Demon: "Huh?"
Why is this so different from what I imagined?
Seeing that the monk was about to enter the gate, the pig demon quickly said: "Wait a minute!"
Qin Yao paused and looked back: "Is something wrong?"
"Monk, did you not hear what I said clearly? I said there is an evil tiger inside, and it is easy to go without returning." said the pig demon.
Qin Yao said: "Do you know where King Huangfeng is now?"
The pig demon''s expression changed: "Who are you? What are you doing with that yellow wind monster?"
