Chapter 262: Innate Spirit Treasure
In any case, even if the rumors are false, exaggerated, and false, Tang Changsheng is indeed a character. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
What surprised Ling Qi the most was that the nine-headed insect had previously relayed that when Guanyin Bodhisattva tried to ignite Tang Changsheng, that question and answer showed his mind and position!
Although this matter is even more difficult to prove, according to the hydra, this incident happened in public, and there are traces to follow, so even the monkey almost clapped his hands on the spot when he heard it!
It was an incident half a year ago, Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly rode on the lotus platform, appeared on a sunny day, and fell into the Tang Palace.
Since the Bodhisattva is not a demon and has a very big background, the inspector of the Qin Heavenly Prison at that time did not intervene!
In front of the emperor of this dynasty, the Bodhisattva was on the top of the main hall and persuaded Tang Changsheng to become a monk in public. It is only said that the Buddha is gracious and willing to help the royal family of the Tang Kingdom lift the curse of the inability to practice in the bloodline!
The condition is that Tang Changsheng must shave his degree in front of the Buddha, and then sincerely go to the West Heaven to seek the true scriptures and wonderful laws, and move the Buddha with sincerity!
For the sake of the future of the entire imperial family, and in front of the emperor again, Tang Changsheng almost had no excuse to refuse!
For several generations of Tang Emperors, the biggest regret is that life is short and life is fleeting, especially when he has the strength of a monk but only has a short lifespan of a few decades, this contrast is even stronger.
The emperor of this dynasty is even more famous for wanting to live forever, I don't know how much panacea I can get, ordinary people have eaten at least a few hundred years to live, but he, a strong man, has not increased his lifespan by half!
Just when Emperor Tang was hesitating, Tang Changsheng smiled loudly, and then got up and asked:
If the Buddha is really compassionate and has the heart to help his clan lift the curse, why should he put forward any conditions, let himself become a monk, go to break the scriptures, and use sincerity to impress it!
Kneeling and praying in front of the Buddha, sincerity is spiritual, which is normal for mortals.
But there is a hidden reason here, and that is that mortals themselves cannot reach the Buddha, so only sincerity can allow the Buddha to hear his own voice.
In Buddhist teachings, the Buddha travels to the world, only to see whether there is a fate, and generally responds to requests, and it doesn't matter whether he is sincere or not. The so-called sincerity is spiritual, sincerity is psychic, not sincerity for spirituality, the latter is just a far-fetched belief of mortals according to their own values!
Buddha's help to others is unconditional!
But now, the Buddha has come to the door, explaining that he knows his embarrassment and has a way to solve it, but he still has to put forward conditions, what is this?
From the standpoint of ordinary people, in order to obtain benefits, it does not hurt to sincerely ask for a favor, as long as the goal is achieved, and the superior person is willing to give benefits and charity, that is compassion.
But the problem is that this kind of transactional compassion is the request of the lower one, and in exchange for the favor of the higher one, there is a difference between the upper and lower ones, and it is not the compassion of the Buddha!
In this world, although there are no Western gods, no believers and religions, lambs and herdsmen, there is no kind of equivalent exchange for each taking what he needs, but Tang Changsheng's meaning is inside!
This kind of Buddha is not a true Buddha, maybe he is kind, but he has lost his Buddha's will!
The Buddha cut meat and fed it to the eagle, why didn't he test it?
Compassion in exchange for sincerity is not mercy, it is a transaction!
Of course, unconditional compassion does not exist in the first place, and there is also a principle of compassion behind unconditional compassion, either the mood, or the concept, or the restriction of the rules, otherwise you will become a fool if you give inexplicably?
In order to highlight its own greatness and nobility, Buddhism has been preaching that set, so that people blindly do good, and don't care about anything else, just say that there will be retribution in the next life, and if you believe, what is it if you are not a fool?
A Buddha may have compassion, a relatively unconditional kind, but that's definitely not all there is to a Buddha. And Buddhism, as long as any sect is formed, it will inevitably have superiority and inferiority, exploitation and oppression, and there is no absolute equality and beauty.
On the one hand, it is only a refutation of Guanyin's request that is contrary to the Buddha's teachings. Tang Changsheng himself is not a Buddhist monk, and he knows that he has the upper hand in this regard at most for a while, and if he really wants to be more serious, he will definitely be refuted.
Therefore, he also said that he is a dignified prince and a future prince.
In this matter, when the emperor was still the crown prince, he had just shown extraordinary talent at a young age, and he had already been favored by the old emperor at that time. If it weren't for the fact that he was too young, and the old emperor was too old, he was afraid that he would be made the emperor's grandson on the spot, and he wouldn't even have to sit on the throne! That's why he dared to speak out about it!
The current emperor is not unafraid of this son, so he is reluctant to establish a prince.
However, this can't change the fact that he is capable, powerful, and prestigious!
No matter how unwilling the emperor is, Tang Changsheng is the first in line of succession with the highest voice, and he is recognized by countless people as a good emperor, there is no doubt about it!
If such an excellent prince becomes a monk, even if he can solve the problem of one family, wouldn't he ignore the people of the world with the selfishness of one person and the selfishness of one family?
The king's task is to be a herdsman, not to be a monk in the temple!
Encouraging an excellent successor of the royal family to become a monk and ignoring the common people in vain, this is the compassion of the Buddha?
Finally, I probably know that the above statements can only convince ordinary people, and they are certainly not enough for Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
Tang Changsheng simply said conceitedly that he didn't need the blessing of the Buddha at all, he was sure that he would break through the bloodline shackles within ten years and find a feasible path to heaven for the royal family!
He even showed off his profound martial arts skills on the spot that made the emperor shocked, frightened, and delighted until his face was pale!
Of course, Guanyin is not afraid of these, there are more subtle means in Taoism, and more exaggerated things can be done.
But the more outstanding this Tang Changsheng became, the more helpless this Bodhisattva became.
In the end, in the face of the Bodhisattva's tongue and lotus, and in the face of the emperor's repetition, Tang Changsheng directly moved out an ancestral precept left by Tang Taizong back then and almost forgotten!
The descendants of Taizong, don't ask about ghosts and gods!
Even Zu Xun has moved out, which means that he has made up his mind, who can do anything?
Unless Guanyin tears her face on the spot, Tang Changsheng, who doesn't buy her face at all, has no possibility of being "ignited"!
Of course, the Bodhisattva could also forcibly cross Tang Changsheng and turn him into Tang Sanzang, after all, the difference in strength between the two at that time was too big.
But for some reason, the Bodhisattva did not do that after all, but chose another way, through negotiations, to invite the three princes to the west!
After some negotiations, the westward journey was finally reached, and Tang Changsheng became an "ambassador for learning from the scriptures", responsible for recruiting the westward travel festival...
The entire mission will depart by the end of this month at the latest, with a maximum number of three hundred, no limit to members, Tang Changsheng has half of the right to recruit, and the Western Sect also has half of the right to recommend.
After the departure of the mission, it must arrive at Lingshan within a year and present a salute prepared by Guanyin Bodhisattva for the three princes!
In addition, members of the mission, although not limited to their origin, must be "sincere". Before leaving, you must invite a "spiritual mountain" into your heart!
In fact, this is to let the Buddha impose a ban on the "messenger", this prohibition cannot allow the Buddha to kill the person concerned, but can limit the power of the messenger, so as to test the sincerity of the heart!
In general, the limited power will be controlled to the limit of mortals. That's it, considering that it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to walk from Nanzhan to Lingshan within a year, the restrictions were relaxed.
Therefore, although there are many talented people who go to the West to meet the Buddha this time, they are actually "mortals"!
And what they escorted, that gift, was just precious and terrible!
The gift also has a name, called the Innate Spirit Treasure - "Chaos Spirit Bead"!
This innate spirit treasure is not an ordinary spirit treasure, but also the core of a treasure, which is very remarkable!
The spirit bead is only the size of an elephant's eye, and it looks like it is only a few or two heavy, but it hides a thousand worlds inside, with infinite power of creation!
It claims to have the power of eight hundred small worlds, and if it is urged by the earth immortals, it can smash the heavenly immortals!
And its power of creation is infinitely useful, even if the soul is scattered and ashes are destroyed, as long as there is a wisp of breath, those below the earth immortals can be reborn with this treasure!
Who doesn't covet such a good baby? Even if the conditions for use are harsh, at least the cultivation of the earth immortal or above can be barely cultivated, but it is still difficult to reduce its value in the slightest, and even Ling Qi is greedy!
However, the rules are still set, the members of the envoy must not steal this treasure, otherwise even if the mission fails! The punishment for mission failure, outsiders don't know, it should be more serious, at least for Tang Changsheng!
Lingshan said that because this was a test for the third prince of Tang, anyone or demon could intercept the envoy and snatch this treasure, and he would not be held accountable afterwards!
Western religion has also allowed some small countries that worship Buddha to take the initiative to publicize this matter, exaggerating the ability of this treasure, as if anyone who gets it can achieve immortality!
This is the naked temptation!
What's even more excessive is that there are already some rumors outside, even if the members of the mission can steal this treasure, some punishments will only be borne by Tang Changsheng alone...
For these gossips, Tang Changsheng didn't say anything, as if he acquiesced!
The "fire pit" that Ling Qi complained about was certainly not escorting Zhibao to Lingshan with a "mortal body"!
Even if it is a "mortal body", under internal and external troubles, strong people like Ling Qi and Sun Monkey will have no hole cards?
Among the three hundred envoys, the nine-headed insects and the like were, after all, a minority! The majority, they are still the middle streamers who are strong compared to mortals and weak compared to immortals!
Ling Qi is not afraid of external enemies, let alone internal troubles, whether he wants to protect the third prince to the west when the time comes, or to guard and steal, there is a way to advance and retreat!
The most difficult thing for him is what is in front of him!
Please sit on the heart of a spiritual mountain!
This kind of thing, open the door to steal, Tai'a upside down, how can you accept it!
Ling Qi's complaint, Sun Monkey did not respond!
Because, this does not need to be answered!
The monkey believed that Ling Qi's decision must be the same as it!
Learning from the scriptures? Yes! Hiking? Yes! No need to exceed the limits of mortals? Except for legitimate defense, do not kill, do not break the precepts?
However, please ask a "spiritual mountain" to accompany you? dream!
