Chapter Twenty-Three: The Great Sage Awakens

However, it is said that Taizong holds the decree of the king of Jizo, and runs rampant in the entire underworld, the ghost soldiers worship, the ghost generals bow their heads, and the king of the ten halls of Yama sees it, and they all pay more respects. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

After watching the suffering of the eighteenth layer of hell ghosts, Taizong was led by black and white impermanence into a sea of blood-red flowers, and in the depths of the sea of flowers, he saw a great monk wearing a brocade robe.

The great monk asked him if he had ever seen the pain of the ghost.

After traveling through the eighteen layers of hell and recalling that picture, Taizong's body trembled slightly, and replied that he had seen it.

The great monk said, in which eighteen layers of hell, there are countless yin souls, who should not be stayed, but how can they not have enough merit to be reincarnated, would you like to help them?

Taizong has no sentiment to help others, but he understands that now people are under the roof, if they don't obey, they are detained in the underworld by the other party, which is sad. He immediately bowed his head and claimed to be willing to help.

What the great monk was waiting for was this sentence. Immediately, the idea of the water and land conference was narrated, and after Taizong had completely written it down, he put it back to Huanyang.

In the palace room, the white bone spirit was whispering about the relationship between the golden cicada and Rulai. I thought that the relationship between them must be quite close, but after understanding, I gradually realized that there were deep philosophical differences between the two sides, one majoring in Mahayana Buddhism and the other majoring in Hinayana Buddhism. If you don't practice together, the communication between the two becomes less and less, and as time goes by, the relationship becomes thinner and thinner.

However, whether it is Mahayana or Hinayana, they are all practicing Buddhism, and they are all the way after all, and they have been getting along for countless years, and they have completely integrated into one school. No matter what the white bone spirit said, it did not shake his heart.

While talking, the white bone spirit keenly noticed that Taizong's heartbeat sounded again, and then he kept silent and looked over.

Under the gaze of the two of them, Taizong gradually opened his eyes, and was stunned for a long time before he regained consciousness, sat up, and when he saw the white bone spirit, the first thing he said was not to ask why she was here, but to say with a serious expression: "National Teacher, can I still practice now?"

Bai Gujing understands his mood at this moment, when he is in the world, whether it is a prince or a general, or a poor beggar, after entering the underworld, all of them are like fish and meat on a chopping board, at the mercy of the other party. This feeling that my life is up to others is unacceptable for every emperor.

"Of course you can, but before you decide to practice, you still have to arrange the future affairs of Tang Guo. ”

"The body of an emperor can't be cultivated?" Taizong asked.

The white bone spirit shook his head: "It's not that you can't practice, but there is a big conflict between cultivation and the prison country. For ordinary monks, a retreat would take two or three hundred years, and such a situation did not apply to emperors. ”

Taizong hesitated for a moment and waved his hand: "Then let's slow down first, Datang, I can't do without me yet." National teacher, please call the ministers of the three provinces, I have something to order. ”

A moment later, Wei Zheng, Yin Kaishan, Xiao Yu, and the ministers of the three provinces came to the hall to worship the Son of Heaven and the national teacher.

"After being robbed, traveling through the netherworld, and seeing the suffering of innocent ghosts, I decided to build a temple and hold a land and water conference to surpass the innocent souls, so that those souls who have no merit can also be reborn. What do you think about this?" Taizong said in a deep voice facing the three phases.

The three of them have no objection to this, and they receive orders together to supervise this important matter.

"Your Majesty, what is the name of the temple?" Wei Zheng, who was in charge of building the temple, asked after dividing their respective tasks.

Taizong thought for a while and said, "Since the temple was built by three prime ministers, then it should be called the Great Xiangguo Temple." ”

"The altar master of the land and water conference, I don't know if Your Majesty has a candidate?" asked Xiao Yu, who was in charge of personnel transfer.

Xuanzang just wanted to speak, but he was covered by the white bone spirit who played cards out of common sense, and he couldn't make a sound.

The four of them looked at the two of them together, and Taizong asked, "Who are you, national teacher?"

"Xuanzang wants me to be the altar master of this land and water conference, I don't have much intention of this, but he has to make a statement to His Majesty, and in desperation, I made this decision and blocked his mouth. "The white bone spirit is telling a serious lie.

Taizong Qi said: "The national teacher still knows the Dharma?"

"A little bit of it, a little bit of it. ”

Xuanzang, who was imprisoned by the white bone essence, struggled a little, and when he saw that it was unsuccessful, he no longer bothered, but there was no panic in his clear spring-like eyes. I don't know if I don't care, or if I accept my fate.

"It would be great if the national teacher could preside over this land and water conference. The three phases received the look of the white bone spirit, and said together.

Taizong hesitated for a moment, and felt that there was nothing wrong with this, so he agreed.

Xuanzang sighed slightly, and said in his heart: This is not in line with the script he gave, the water and land conference, just started, it was out of the control of Buddhism.

After talking about everything, Bai Gujing dragged Xuanzang out of the palace, let him go at the door, and said with a smile: "Are you a little disappointed?"

Xuanzang tidied up his clothes, raised his eyes and said, "You shouldn't know much Dharma, right?" I want to ask, in this case, how do you do this altar master, how to convince the monks!"

"I don't need to have a profound Dharma myself, I just need my adjutant. The white bone spirit said lightly.

"Adjutant?" Xuanzang was slightly stunned.

The white bone spirit pointed at him and said, "It's you, my adjutant, from building a meditation couch to inviting famous monks, it's up to you to do it." I am only responsible for supervising your actions. ”

Xuanzang was stunned, and after a long time, he actually laughed: "Why should I help you?"

"If you don't do it, then we'll keep dragging it out. If it drags on for seven or eight years, maybe the situation will be more favorable to me. The White Bone Spirit said.

Xuanzang glanced at him deeply and said, "You win again, I promise." ”

Bai Gujing smiled slightly and waved his hand: "Then, give you a day to formulate and refine the flow of the water and land conference, including the scriptures read." Three days, looking for a monk, you can do it yourself, if there is no monk, make this land and water conference a joke, I will not criticize you for anything. ”

Xuanzang was noncommittal, turned around silently, and left. The white bone spirit stood in place, looking at his still thin figure, and always felt that the current Xuanzang was much more terrifying than the previous golden cicada...... A lot. Although, he still can't tell where the horror is.

"Supreme, there's news from the Five Elements Mountain that the Chaos Banner flew away a few hours ago. As soon as he returned to Rouge Lane, the Bone Spirit heard a shocking news.

"What about the monkey?

Tuoba Yingxin said: "The Monkey King has awakened. It's just that the six-character mantra golden rune turned into a divine door, trapping him in the Five Fingers Mountain, Zhang Tianshi, and the third prince have tried to uncover the rune, but they have never succeeded. ”

The white bone spirit's body rose into the air, and the rainbow left, only the voice came from high in the sky: "I'll go to Wuzhi Mountain first, you are listening to the news in Chang'an City, once the water and land conference is fully prepared, notify me with a lightning dove as soon as possible."
