Chapter Eighty-Eight: The love calamity is not broken, and the golden cicada does not return
The monk dissipated in front of everyone like this, which was indeed surprising, and the Praetorian Guards were in a commotion for a while.
"Quiet! What are you panicking about! The dignified palace guards, so flustered, what kind of system!" the general at the head sat on a tall horse and scolded.
But the general's hand holding the horsewhip trembled slightly, indicating that he was also very afraid, in Chang'an City, after Emperor Gaozong ascended the throne, he ordered that the Buddha should not be respected and respected.
If he knew about the affairs in Chang'an City and surrendered to the crime, how could he be a mortal.
The general glanced around, and the vendors lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him. If you are wearing a high hat that honors the Buddha, your head should be moved.
The general turned the horse's head and ordered, "Go!" Then he waved his horsewhip, neighed the horse under his crotch, and ran towards the palace of Chang'an City.
The Praetorian Guards lined up in formation, methodically followed their generals, and left the temple, which had become a ruin.
In the palace, Gaozong put down the recital in his hand when he heard the news, then stood up and asked, "Is this serious?"
"The last general is willing to take the head of the master, this matter is what the last general and his subordinates have seen with their own eyes, there will be no fake! The monk will dissipate in front of the last general!" Your Highness, the general knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
"Hmph, I am the son of the Tang Dynasty's Destiny, how can I be afraid of his Western Heaven Buddha Sect!" Gao Zong snorted coldly.
"I hope Your Majesty will think twice! It is already a great disrespect for the Buddha and the Buddha in Chang'an City, and His Majesty has sealed the temple of the scriptures, and there are no more rumors of people taking the scriptures among the people. If you do this, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the Western Heavenly Buddha Sect! Please think twice!" the general advised.
"Don't say it!" Gao Zong waved his sleeves, "The first emperor took such a fancy to Xuanzang when he was alive, but what about him? more than forty years ago, he said goodbye without saying goodbye, and he never came back even after the death of the first emperor, how relieved is this!"
"Pass my will, if there are any more monks in Chang'an City, there will be no mercy!" Gaozong coldly ordered.
"I want to see if their heads are hard or my big knives are hard!"
The general wanted to say a few more words, but Gaozong's order came down again, "General Zhao, don't you still understand my will?"
"The last general's order!" General Zhao knew that Gaozong was determined not to respect the Buddha and not respect the Buddha, and he was just a small Praetorian Guard general, how could he change the decision of the Tang Emperor.
General Zhao was ordered to exit the hall and walked outside the door, General Zhao looked up at the red sun in the sky, these monks are not having a good time.
Heavenly Court, Jade Lingtian, Lao Jun stepped into the Jade Emperor's bedroom, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, in recent days, according to the news obtained by the ministers, in recent years, Gaozong decreed that the Buddha should not be respected or respected in Chang'an City, and now it has been in a uproar in the world. ”
"No one in Chang'an City talks about learning scriptures, and no one knows about learning scriptures!"
"Oh, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually dares to act like this, isn't he afraid that Xitian Rulai will be punished?" said the Jade Emperor.
"Your Majesty, the Eastern Earth Tang Dynasty is in Nanzhan Buzhou, and he is originally a subordinate of my Heavenly Court, how dare he cross the line and surrender his crimes?"
"That's right, but why did the Tang Dynasty make such a decision? Xuanzang's study of the scriptures was not exactly what the Tang Emperor strongly approved?" the Jade Emperor asked.
"In the past, Xuanzang learned the scriptures and was approved by the Tang Emperor, but now Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty has passed away for five years, and Xuanzang has not returned. Lao Jun explained.
The Jade Emperor is busy with the affairs of the heavenly court every day, and the Jade Emperor basically pays little attention to the affairs of the human world. Lao Jun has a high status, ranking first in the Three Qings in the Heavenly Court, but he can be extremely free and easy, and Lao Jun can be said to have insight into the things in the Three Realms.
"In this way, the belief of the Western Heaven in Nanzhan Buzhou has begun to fall, and this is indeed a good opportunity to suppress Buddhism!" the Jade Emperor said.
"That's right," Lao Jun nodded, "Dongsheng Divine Continent is a demon clan, and most of the mortals in it worship demons and do not respect gods and Buddhas. The reckless land of Luzhou in the north is not yet civilized, and the West Niuhe Continent is ruled by Buddhism, and only this Nanzhan Continent is the place where the power of my heavenly court and Buddhism's faith is most competitive. ”
"If you have a good hand in chess, now even the Tang Dynasty doesn't respect his Buddhism, I want to see, what else does he use in the West Heaven to compete with my heavenly court for luck!" The Jade Emperor was in a good mood.
"Is there any movement on the demon clan's side?" the Jade Emperor asked, and now the Jade Emperor's only knot in his heart is still those ancient giant demons in Daze.
"Those big giant demons are dormant one by one, as far as Poor Dao knows, there are only Kunpeng Dijiang and others in Daze, Jin Crow and Demon Ape have returned to the wilderness and died. I'm afraid that the two demons of the Spirit Fox and the Heavenly Sparrow are no longer in this realm!"
"It's a nuisance not to be in this realm. The Jade Emperor frowned and said, "What's the situation with the Demon Clan?"
"Rahu has been silent for many years, hiding in the Asura realm, he has been silent for so many years, either he is spending immeasurable tribulations, or he is planning to enter the void space and rescue his demon tribes!"
"In today's world, there are immeasurable tribulations, this Rahu is so ambitious!" said the Jade Emperor.
"Rahu already has the strength of a saint, and the difference is the last hurdle of this immeasurable tribulation. Lao Jun knew what Rahu's strength was and said.
"The Three Realms are peaceful, I don't know how long this situation can last!" said the Jade Emperor with some melancholy.
Now the Three Realms, the Quartet forces, the Heavenly Court and the Buddha Gate are on the bright side, the Demon Court and the Demon Race are dormant in the dark, it seems that the Quartet forces are living in peace, but the undercurrent is surging behind the scenes, and the battle is about to break out!
The West Heaven has been in prison for more than 40 years.
For more than 40 years, although Xuanzang was dissatisfied with Rulai's plan, after being imprisoned, Xuanzang was not lost and depressed, but instead participated in the efforts of the Buddhas and tried to have an epiphany.
On this day, Xuanzang meditated quietly, and Dapeng on the side had long been accustomed to this monk chanting here. Compared with suppressing his own Sanskrit sound, Dapeng still likes the monk's chanting, at least he will not be disgusted.
Xuanzang quietly chanted the scriptures, entered the realm of forgetting things and me, and unconsciously, Xuanzang felt as if he had transcended the prison that bound him and stepped out of the spiritual mountain.
Xuanzang stepped on the solid ground, and came to face a monk leading a white horse and carrying a bag.
When the monk saw Xuanzang, he stopped and clasped his hands together, "Amitabha, the little monk has seen the master." ”
Xuanzang returned the salute, "The poor monk is just a mortal, how can he be called a master, it really torments the poor monk!"
"The little monk Master Guan is full of heaven and has a purple gold nobility on his body, so he is honored as the master!" the monk said humbly.
"I don't know where you're going?" Xuanzang asked when he saw the monk leading a white horse and carrying a bag on his back.
"Amitabha, the little monk came from Xiniu Hezhou, and he wants to go to the West Heaven Da Lei Yin Temple to worship the Buddha and seek the true scriptures!"
"To get the true scriptures, you want to go to the Great Leiyin Temple in the West Heaven?" Xuanzang said silently in his mouth, isn't the study of the scriptures already over? Why do people still want to go to the West Heaven to seek the true scriptures?
When Xuanzang came back to his senses, the monk had already led the horse away, and Xuanzang hurriedly caught up and wanted to ask clearly.
But no matter how much he chased him, the distance between him and the monk became farther and farther away, until the monk's back gradually disappeared.
Xuanzang didn't know what to do for a while, click, click, and the sound of horses' hooves came. Another monk with a bag on his back and a white horse came from afar.
When he walked in front of Xuanzang, he stopped, folded his hands and saluted gently, "The little monk has met the master!"
Xuanzang returned the salute, and after a while of greetings, Xuanzang asked where the monk was going.
"The little monk wants to go to the West Heaven Da Lei Yin Temple to meet my Buddha Rulai to seek the true scriptures and purify all sentient beings. "This monk is exactly what the previous monk said.
Xuanzang was not stunned this time, and when he saw that the monk was leaving, he stepped forward to stop him. But he couldn't move his feet, he couldn't speak, and he could only watch the monk go farther and farther away, gradually disappearing.
Click-click-the sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and a monk in the same costume appeared, and then stopped, and after greeting Xuanzang, he embarked on the journey.
Coming and going, over and over again, nine monks passed in front of Xuanzang, some of them were from Xiniu Hezhou, some were from Beiju Luzhou, some were from Dongsheng Shenzhou, and some were from Nanzhan Buzhou.
Although the starting point is different, the destination is the same, they all go to the West Heaven Da Lei Yin Temple to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures.
Xuanzang understood that these monks were none other than themselves, or the reincarnation of their previous nine lives.
There was a sound of footsteps, and a monk dressed in white came from afar and walked up to Xuanzang.
"Amitabha, the poor monk is polite!" the white-clothed monk saluted.
Xuanzang also gently returned the salute, "Amitabha, the poor monk returned the salute this time, I don't know if the holy monk is also going west to the Da Lei Yin Temple to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures?"
The white-clothed monk shook his head, "The poor monk is here for you, not for the scriptures!"
"Come for the poor monks, dare to ask the master's name?" Xuanzang asked.
The white-clothed monk smiled, "There are many poor monks, in the early years, there were Master Chen, Master Miaozhen, Master Huijue, and the last name of the poor monk is Master Sanzang!"
"Master Sanzang!" Xuanzang couldn't help but take a few steps back, pointed to the white-clothed monk and asked, "Who are you!"
The white-clothed monk smiled freely, "I am you, you are me." You are the reincarnation of my tenth life, Master Sanzang, Tang Xuanzang!"
"Jin Chanzi, it turns out that you are me, I am you!" Hearing the white-clothed monk's words, Xuanzang suddenly understood in his heart.
"Those monks just now are also poor monks, right? More precisely, they are the bodies of the first nine generations of poor monks, and the body of your last nine generations!" Xuanzang finally understood the identities of the monks who were holding white horses and carrying their bags before.
The white-clothed monk nodded slightly, "They are me and you!"
"You are me too!" Xuanzang pointed at the white-clothed monk and smiled.
The white-clothed monk chuckled and nodded, "Yes, I am also you, and the golden cicada is the Sanzang Master, Tang Xuanzang!"
