Volume 10 The Controversy of Buddhism and the Way Chapter 32 Prayer for Blessings
The conversation between Li Er and Li Kuan was listened to by the three Tang Dynasty teachers who pretended to be ghosts, and suddenly there was a different feeling in their hearts, they had a very selfish action this time, hoping to take the opportunity to show Li Er the power of Buddhism and Taoism, so that the other party would be soft, and relax the pressure to deal with the two families, so that the Taoist temples and temples in various places that were gradually becoming depressed would become prosperous again, but they didn't expect that at the critical moment of this action, a Chu king Li Kuan would emerge, and he would actually come up with such a white tiger. The majestic white tiger was entrenched at the top of the altar at this time, although they knew that it was fake, but the three of them did not dare to move. Because they know the details of it, there are corresponding records in the secret techniques of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism that they each inherited.
Those who can use this ability to condense and transform into shapes are all those with advanced martial arts cultivation, just like them, after practicing for most of their lives, they can only make a few zhang long Donglai purple qi, and with the help of props to complete a few tricks like blinding. Although they knew how to do these things, they could not understand the deep meaning, why were their ancestors able to combine some simple things to express magical scenes? And each of them requires strong physical functions to complete. Therefore, the more dynamic the trick, the stronger the martial arts attainments. This point is clear to the three Tang Dynasty masters, because when they were young, they were able to use many more 'spells' to fool people than now, and they were all performed alone, where to make a huge auspicious cloud like now, it is necessary to gather countless famous Taoist monks in the Tang Dynasty together to get it. The three of them plus a few disciples are almost the same, because in recent years, they have been getting older, and many things have been unable to be done. In addition, there are also many people who have the mind to make such a big battle this time.
At this time. I saw the tall white tiger and the purple dragon soaring in the sky. They all estimated in their hearts, how could they not do such a large-scale 'spell', not to mention that the white tiger and the divine dragon would actually show large movements without missing any flaws, which was simply appalling.
In fact, all this Li Kuan also had a temporary idea, which even Li Er didn't know, the divine dragon and white tiger were all exchanged, and they were constantly consuming a lot of energy value all the time, which was not a simple matter. Li Kuan designed a white tiger made of smoke condensation. There is also a divine dragon, and then it is shown as if it is playing an animation: that is, one is changed first, and then it is switched to another one of the same size in the next moment, but the posture is changed, constantly changing, that is to say, in this short moment, this white tiger and a divine dragon have actually been changed countless times, and the human eye can catch about twenty-four pictures per second. But there are specially trained people who can reach higher, which means that if Li Kuan wants not to show his stuff, then he has to convert more than thirty times every second to deceive this group of people. And because it's smoke condensation. They are floating at any time, and only by replenishing every moment can the white tiger and the divine dragon not deform.
Therefore, Li Kuan has already exchanged more than 10,000 white tigers and divine dragons in just a few moments. Although it is only the shape of clouds and mist, it is a kind of goods, but because of the fineness of the requirements. The exchange value of each head is also expensive, and Li Kuan's current energy points are not enough for him to hold on for too long. As long as the two Buddhists and Taoists are soft, he will remove this money-burning thing.
"Your Majesty, the old minister knows that he is wrong! Please also receive the supernatural powers! The three old Taoist monks were already crying with a sad face at this time, and they were waiting for Li Er to come to see Li Er on this magnificent altar like a fairy. But now the divine dragon entrenched in the air, and the white tiger roaring on the top of the altar, were beyond their expectations, and the battle they made now seemed so childlike. This face is a big loss. But all of this is their own doing, if it weren't for their bad intentions, how could they end up like this, in fact, they found the wrong direction at the beginning, as a strong king, Li Er couldn't allow his subordinates to threaten him, so the two Buddhists and Taoists showed their muscles, obviously making Li Er unhappy in his heart. If they had shown their dedication at the beginning, and had not pretended to be so, and then they were playing the bitter card, then maybe there would have been some hope.
But Li Kuan didn't know about this, and he hadn't rehearsed with Li Er, so now he relies on Li Er's improvisation to clean up the mess. Li Er was standing on the altar at this time, without the slightest expression, not knowing what he was thinking, but the slightly raised sword eyebrows on his face showed that his inner mood was not bad, but the three old Taoist monks all lowered their heads at this time, and they didn't see Li Er's expression. So they didn't know that Li Er was a dragon-hearted joy at this time, and they were even more amazed by Li Kuan, why is this kid so happy to do things? Due to the invisible influence of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, in front of Li Er, the three Tang Dynasty teachers have always been proud of the shelf, and now they have never seen it before they bow their heads and admit their mistakes like this, so Li Er's heart is secretly cool!
"Okay, Li Kuan, I'll take care of everything here! Stand down! As he spoke, Li Er held the scroll in both hands and walked up to the high platform, which was only five feet high from the top of the altar, which was a matter of a few steps. Therefore, Li Ersan climbed to the top of the altar in two steps, but the white tiger was still entrenched at the top of the altar, and a pair of black tiger eyes like a black hole were facing the divine dragon above the sky at this time, and it seemed that he had not yet softened.
"I said, here I will deal with it! Not gone yet? Li Er shouted, he had come to the white tiger, compared to the white tiger several feet high, Li Er was only more than eight feet tall, and it seemed so small, but now it was like a bell, and the white tiger trembled a little.
"Not going to disperse yet?" With another shout, Li Er held the scroll with one hand, on which was written the sacrifice of the Tang Dynasty to heaven. His right hand was empty, and then he grabbed a large seal, which was the jade seal of the country. Li Er carried this thing with him, especially at this important moment of worshipping the heavens. At this time, the big characters under the jade seal of the country that were like blood condensed 'Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity!' Then he just suppressed it directly towards the white tiger.
At this time, I saw that above the high heavens, eight big vermilion characters appeared, and then they were suppressed like this. The white tiger entrenched on the altar roared silently, but to no avail, only to see that the eight big characters were directly suppressed, and the majestic white tiger was directly suppressed into a cloud of smoke, and then drifted away with the wind. In this game, Li Er won completely.
At this time, the divine dragon hovering in the sky suddenly turned into a purple light, pounced directly on Li Er, and then disappeared into Li Er's body.
"Long live the Tang Dynasty, long live the Tang Dynasty, long live Your Majesty......" Countless Datang officials under the "Datang Victory, as well as the family members brought by the Xungui family, are shouting loudly at this time, congratulating Li Er, such a scene can be described as ancient and unprecedented, because they have never seen a divine dragon, even if there is a report of a divine beast descending from the sky every year to play Chang'an, but Li Er They have never seen a real divine beast, but they have seen a lot of fake ones: the legendary unicorn has become a pig with a body of scale armor, and almost did not anger Li Er to death. There are also those who say that there are dragons, phoenixes, etc., all of which have been confirmed to be just deception in order to make sycophants. This time, I saw it, although there was not the slightest sound, but the image was real for everyone to see, this can't be fake, and whether it was the white tiger that finally dissipated and turned away, or the purple dragon possessed Li Er, it happened in front of everyone's eyes, making people believe that all this was true.
"The sacrifice to the sky begins to ......" Yuan Shoucheng really became a master of ceremonies at this time, without the slightest other thought, because at this time Li Kuan had already come to the front, standing under the altar in golden armor, becoming the closest person to the altar, his martial arts Yuan Shoucheng knew that at such a close distance, if he wanted to rush forward, it was just a moment, maybe the distance of nine zhang was not a short distance for ordinary people. But Li Kuan was only a brief gap between the two leaps, and if he wanted to, he could come to the top of this altar in an instant and kill them on the spot. The three of them together are more than two hundred and fifty years old, but they can't withstand this guy's two punches.
The sacrifice to the sky officially began, and the auspicious clouds dispersed, revealing those armor soldiers standing inside, as well as those bald monks and miscellaneous Taoist priests. At this time, these great monks of Buddhism and Taoism, all of them sat cross-legged, chanting scriptures in their mouths, whether it was "Huang Ting Sutra", "Nanhua Sutra" or "Diamond Sutra" or something, in short, only they themselves could understand, but they were all very hard-working, and for a time a solemn atmosphere enveloped this altar, and at this time, the sun rose higher and higher, and gradually reached the time of the sun in the sky.
Li Er has finished reciting the prayer to the heavens, and at this time he is leading the ministers and hundreds of officials to pray for the blessings of the Tang Dynasty, in order to have a good harvest this year, in order to be able to clear the border this year, and for the people of the Tang Dynasty to live and work in peace and contentment, there is no disaster, everyone is so sincere, and none of them have a careful mind and all pray sincerely.
Li Kuan also did the same thing with these people, although he didn't believe it, but he still prayed sincerely, because he really hoped that the people of Datang would live and work in peace and contentment, and there would be no disasters at the border, so that Datang would continue to prosper like this. Even if the ruler of this world is still surnamed Li after a thousand years, as long as the people can eat and clothe warmly, what if all this continues! Perhaps in later generations, the powerful technology made it very convenient for people to live and have a comfortable living environment, but that era lost the most important thing, in that world, there is an unfathomable gully between people's hearts, isolating everyone in their own world, unwilling to come out, and refusing others to enter their world, that is a desert of people's hearts.
