On the surface, the Journey to the West project was a perfect success.

But the sudden appearance of the sealed boat made everything changeable.

Between the Tang Dynasty and Lingshan, he established a strong country covering an area of 10,000 miles, which was not only rich and strong, but also paid attention to the introduction of advanced oriental culture, and at the same time established a rigorous intellectual (scientific) system.

Although the country is strong in Taoism, Buddhism also occupies a sufficient share.

A poet once praised: "The four hundred and eighty temples of the Ming Dynasty are in the smoke and rain of many buildings." ”

It is enough to see the strength of Buddhism.

But all this has nothing to do with Lingshan.

No matter how vigorous the incense of the Buddhist temples of the Ming Dynasty is, no matter how many people worship, no matter how pious the belief is, it is also the Buddha who worships Fengzhou.

The worship is also the many monks who sealed the boat and passed on the scriptures, and proved themselves Buddha, Bodhisattva, and Arhat.

Lingshan can't feel it at all, and he can't enjoy it.

If this is the case, then the World-Honored One will admit it.

After all, Fengzhou is the supreme in the world, the country is incomparably strong, the people are rich and upward, and the power of Buddhism is not weaker than Lingshan.

Even if there is a danger of splitting, the Lingshan Buddhism may not be able to pass the Ming Dynasty Buddhism.

So Rulai had no choice but to swallow this breath.

However, the uncontrollable Tang monks and apprentices made Rulai feel the danger of splitting between the West Heaven Buddhism Gate and the East Earth Buddhism Gate.

That Tang Sanzang was originally the most exquisite Buddhism selected among the hundreds of thousands of monks in the Tang Dynasty, if he completed the scriptures, he came to the Buddha to enshrine them, and gave the five of them one by one to preach the Tao fruit, then the leading role of the Western Heaven Buddhism for the Eastern Tang Dynasty Buddhism will be further deepened.

And Guanyin Bodhisattva's participation in it makes the Buddhism of the Eastern Tang Dynasty almost under the control of the West Tianling Mountain.

However, because of the request of Ka Ye and Ananda, the five masters and apprentices saw the wordless scriptures and proved themselves to become Buddhas, which caused Lingshan's control over the Eastern Earth Buddhism to weaken.

Although the essence of Tang Sanzang is Rahula, the son-in-law of the World-Honored Buddha Shakyamuni, this does not represent anything.

When it comes to the struggle for ideas, it involves the struggle for power, and the blood connection between father and son is simply not worth mentioning.

Throughout the ages, because of the struggle for ideas and power, the drama of father and son cannibalism has been endless.

Tang Sanzang's sworn eldest brother is a good example of killing his brother and imprisoning his father.

Especially on the Daxiong Treasure Hall, in the face of the Buddha's downplaying of the words of "asking for personnel", this Rahula directly said, "We have no personnel, do you fax the scriptures?", and the rift between the Eastern and Western Buddhism was directly faced in front of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats.

And the culprits who caused all this are the two Venerable Kasa and Ananda, who are being pressed at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain next to the Spirit Mountain at the moment.

And the master of these two is none other than the World-Honored Rulai!

Therefore, after this news spread throughout the Three Realms, everyone believed that the biggest person responsible for the journey to the west was the world-honored Rulai.

As for what Amitabha, the ancestor of all Buddhas in the Asura realm, would think?

Of course he would be indifferent.

Because whether it is the Middle Earth Buddha Realm, the Western Heaven Buddha Realm, or the Ming Buddha Realm, people who worship the Buddha sincerely will recite the sentence "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south." ”

Therefore, the World-Honored One will not care at all about the guilt of the Buddha.

It was when he saw this that he asked Amitabha Buddha for his sins.

For the various responses of politicians such as Lai, Randen and Maitreya naturally have nothing to say. After all, if you are the Buddha, you are the World-Honored One, although one of them is the Buddha of the past and the other is the Buddha of the future, but they are not binding on the Buddha of the present.

Maitreya Buddha watched the vanishing World-Honored Buddha disappear under the Bodhi tree, suddenly sighed, and made a verse:

"Only one heart, one heart, one heart is a Buddha. The most spiritual creature in the world of the Ten Directions.

Vertical and horizontal clever use of poor life. Everything is not as real as the heart.

Teng Teng is free to do nothing. Idle monks in the end.

If you see the real road at present. It's strange not to see the slightest.

What a difference there is in the law. He Lao is more likely to use the scriptures.

The king of the heart knows a lot. The wise man only knows what he does not learn.

The unholy is extraordinary. Do not distinguish the holy feelings of loneliness.

Priceless heart beads are pure and round. All out-of-phase vain calls.

People can spread the way and distinguish the way. Immeasurably clear and highly praised.

Carry Si Ruo Deng Homeland Road. Don't worry about being silent everywhere. ”

The ancient Buddha glanced at Maitreya and knew that he had plans to go down to the red dust, so he just smiled at this and didn't say anything.

......

When the Tang monks and apprentices rode the wind and returned to the Tang Dynasty, they were suddenly surprised to find that the territory of the Tang Dynasty had expanded to the Western Liang Kingdom.

The entire Northern Silk Road has fallen into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

In this way, the territory of the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty intersected, firmly occupying most of the territory of Nanzhan Buzhou and one-third of Xiniuhezhou, and in this vast land, hundreds of millions of people lived, and these hundreds of millions of people all believed in Chinese culture.

Their country is rich and strong, their army is strong, their culture is developed, and they are the heavenly kingdom in the hearts of all the nations in the world.

What's even more rare is that these two countries are still brother countries, and the emperors of both sides are sworn brothers, and there are only thousands of people on the border with each other, also to guard against the existence of horse bandits and bandits.

In fact, Tang King Li Shimin even dared to kill his own brother, how could he care about this righteous brother?

In fact, he has seen the heroic posture of sealing the boat and making trouble in the underworld, and he has seen his submissive appearance of suppressing the king of the underworld.

If it weren't for the help of this "righteous brother", he wouldn't have known that he could only be an emperor for a few years.

With the military oppression of the "righteous brother", the king of Hades let him enjoy the throne for forty years, which allowed him to maintain a brotherhood with the Ming Dynasty while being ambitious, intending to create a "Zhenguan prosperous era".

At that time, he died at the age of sixty-eight, and his son's age, body and energy were in the prime of life, and he just happened to take over.

Therefore, Li Shimin destroyed Goryeo in the east, broke Xue Yantuo in the north, and conquered Tuyuhun, Baoxiang, Wuji, Chechi, and Xiliang all the way to the west.

Because Li Shimin realized that if the Tang Dynasty only destroyed the country and did not conquer it with civilization, a hundred years later, these countries would fall into the hands of the Ming State.

When the time comes, the bamboo basket will be empty.

And the main energy of Feng Zhou is also on governing the country.

Therefore, in the twenty-eighth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty and the fifteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Li Shimin personally led the army to break through the Western Liang Women's Kingdom, and all the officials of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom such as the king and the Taishi were moved to the east, scattered in the state capitals of the Tang Dynasty, and were allowed to be rationed to officials at all levels.

And the Queen of Xiliang, who had a deep affection for the "royal brother", committed suicide in anger because she was forcibly accepted as a concubine by Hou Junji.

In the end, it disappeared silently in the long river of history.

At this time, Feng Zhou let the Bull Demon King extinguish the flames of the Flame Mountain forever, unified the army of 3,000, crossed the 800-mile Flame Mountain, and hunted here with the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

"I didn't expect this world to be so vast, so big that I almost lost my confidence!"

He said this, but his face was full of confidence.

Li Shimin is fifty-six years old, but the years of conquest when he was young, coupled with the maintenance of the mandate of heaven in the underworld, his body is still at its peak, and his energy is still very strong.

Even he knew that he had at least twelve years left in his brilliant career.

Because of the map of the Northern Silk Road sent by the sealed boat, Li Shimin carefully arranged that every battle was a lion fighting a rabbit, so he could destroy countless countries in a row, and also made the Uighurs, Xue Yantuo and other tribes in the north respect and fear him.

Therefore, although it took sixteen years to conquer the Northern Silk Road, his conquest was a complete conquest, and the number of local Han people had already occupied an absolute advantage.

"Yes, this world is very big, and the influence of Datang has also quickly spread to Xiaobanxi Niu Hezhou under the control of my brother!"

Feng Zhou chuckled and said: "Essay on martial arts, Your Majesty can be said to be an emperor through the ages, even the three emperors and five emperors can't be compared, the dynasty is prosperous, I hope the Tang Dynasty can continue to be so brilliant!"

Now not only the four continents, but also the distant Persia, Dashi, and Daqin, all have the name of Tang Emperor Li Shimin like thunder, and know that he is the emperor of the prosperous world.

"Brother Xian, although I am the emperor of the world, I have also heard of your status in the fairy world, and they all say that even the Buddha does not dare to teach the Fa here with you, which shows that you are powerful and have far-reaching knowledge, so I have something to ask. ”

"Brother, please speak. ”

"Since Brother Xian just mentioned the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, then I want to know, after I die, can I live with heaven and earth like the Three Emperors and Five Emperors?"

The Three Emperors and Five Emperors relied on their merits to the human race, as well as their great reputation, and after the merit was completed, they all became famous in the Huoyun Cave, and lived with heaven and earth and the sun and the moon, so that the emperors of later generations were not envious!

Li Shimin is naturally one of them, especially after he gets older, he is more eager for immortality. It's just that he is more sensible, knowing that the emperor wants to live forever, and how many Ming monarchs in ancient times were not guaranteed in the evening, isn't it just that they can't get immortality, and they make the tide drama turbulent and people's livelihood chaotic?

And there are too many legends of this virtuous brother in front of him, and Li Shimin saw the limelight of Fengzhou making trouble in the underworld, so he naturally had such doubts and wanted to ask for advice in person.

"Brother really has great ambitions, then let me tell you, I want to live with heaven and earth like the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, but!" Feng Zhou said with a grin.

The reason why the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors were able to live with heaven and earth was that they had established great merits and had a very high status in the minds of the Chinese people, so they could obtain the qualifications to shine with the sun and the moon with the power of merit.

"I ...... Got it!"

Listening to Feng Zhou's analysis, Li Shimin's eyes lit up.
