Chapter 3 Land and Water Puja

Since Master Xuanzang opened his eyes in this world, he has almost never been out of the sight of those gods and Buddhas such as Liuding Liujia and Wufang Jiedi.

It may be protection, but what is the difference between being watched?

What Master Xuanzang didn't expect was that when he stepped into the Tang Emperor's hall, he would be able to gain some freedom for a short time.

As soon as he thought of this, his state of mind slowed down and relaxed, and Master Xuanzang exuded a burst of Zen and peaceful smell from the inside out, so that the atmosphere of the palace hall that affected the majesty immediately changed.

I saw that as the handsome monk in plain white monk robe slowly approached, the monarchs and ministers above the main hall couldn't help but subconsciously hold their breath.

The main hall, which is discussing day after day, should have been tired of seeing, but at this moment, with the intrusion of Master Xuanzang, it looks like a picture scroll that is slowly spreading.

Zen? Buddha's will?

Everyone's hearts subconsciously felt a sense of peace and tranquility, and their hearts actually felt a peace that they hadn't felt for many years.

"Poor monk Xuanzang, I have seen Your Majesty."

And step by step, Master Xuanzang, who seemed to walk to the center of the main hall with unusual charm, saluted to the middle-aged man in front of him, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, and was not angry but mighty.

With Master Xuanzang's opening, everyone in the entire hall suddenly felt like waking up from a dream, and recovered from that strange charm.

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the top, stood up a little out of shape, and went straight to Master Xuanzang to return a Buddhist salute and spoke.

"Master Xuanzang, it's hard for you to come here, please sit down."

Immediately, Li Shimin turned his head to the chief eunuch who was waiting on the side, and placed a chair directly under him.

"This ......"

Looking at Li Shimin's polite and respectful gesture, Master Xuanzang was a little embarrassed.

After all, not long ago, he and the other party's daughter had a discussion of Buddhism in the room, and they also taught the other party a lesson, and now they are treated like this by the other party's father.

"Shame...... Shame on ......"

Master Xuanzang covered his face slightly, sat down with a guilty face, and gave way to Lian Lianqian.

"How can Master Xuanzang be ashamed?" Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Shimin looked at the handsome and extraordinary monk below, exuding a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, nodded faintly in admiration, and said.

"As the No. 1 monk in the Tang Dynasty, Master Xuanzang has worked tirelessly to set foot in the palace this time, and it is I who has disturbed Master Xuanzang's cultivation."

"Where did the poor monk come from? It's just a tribulation in the rolling red dust, ashamed, ashamed. ”

In the end, Master Xuanzang subconsciously hit the Buddha number. "Amitabha, good, good."

And as soon as Master Xuanzang said this, everyone in the hall couldn't help but show a little understanding on their faces.

Yes, the mortal womb of the flesh, where does the practice come from? It's just a tribulation in the red dust.

After chewing on these words for a few breaths, everyone felt more and more that there was an unusual charm and Zen in it, and they couldn't help but revere the handsome monk who was like a white lotus.

Li Shimin still couldn't help but slap his fists in admiration. "It is worthy of being recognized as the first monk in the Tang Dynasty, this realm is really extraordinary, this 'water and land festival' can be presided over by Master Xuanzang, I can be relieved."

"'Land and Water Puja'?" Master Xuanzang's lips opened and he asked rhetorically.

"That's right!" Without waiting for Li Shimin to answer, Wei Zheng, who was below, walked out of the group of ministers under Li Shimin's secret signal and explained.

"Your Majesty remembers the continuous wars in recent years, and feels pity for those innocent souls who have lost their lives, so he plans to hold a 'water and land puja' to surpass the souls of Hades."

"Your Majesty is merciful!"

Master Xuanzang turned to Li Shimin with admiration on his face, but he slowly remembered the relevant memories in his heart.

If it is according to the normal trajectory, it should be that Li Shimin was haunted by the unjust soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe, so he went to the underworld and saw countless unjust souls suffering in hell, so he moved the idea of holding a "water and land puja", trying to use the power of Buddhism to calm the killing sins of the first half of his life and the unjust soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe.

Merely......

Master Xuanzang remembered that after he stepped into the main hall, even those gods and Buddhas who protected him every step did not dare to take half a step beyond the thunder pool.

"If you think about it, the water in here is very deep!"

Master Xuanzang didn't move and considered the logic before and after, and couldn't help but have a feeling of being extremely frightened.

"Li Shimin's generation of emperors, no matter how you say it, is also implicated in the lifeblood of thousands of dawns, as well as the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention whether the unjust soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe is qualified to cause trouble to him, after all, even Wei Zheng, who cut down the Dragon King of Jinghe, is just one of his courtiers."

"What's more, Li Shimin, as a generation of emperors, how could he be the judges of the underworld who have become office workers who can easily hook souls and rewrite their lives? Otherwise, Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, who was higher than Li Shimin, would have died too aggrieved. ”

"Unless it is Buddhism that secretly plots everything in order to gain the faith of the human race......"

"Or, all this is because Li Shimin is also involved, accompanying Buddhism to act."

As soon as he thought of this, Master Xuanzang, who was a human race first and then a disciple of Buddhism, couldn't help but recite the Buddha name in a low voice, and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Amitabha!"

"Master Xuanzang, is there any trouble with the 'Water and Land Festival'?" Listening to Master Xuanzang's Buddha name, Li Shimin turned slightly, revealing an attitude of obeying the other party's opinion.

"Your Majesty's benevolent heart is really a blessing for all living beings in the world."

Master Xuanzang saluted with one palm, and after showing his appreciation, his handsome face showed a little embarrassment, and he spoke.

"It's just Your Majesty, the poor monk is only shallow in his studies, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take on such a big responsibility, and I ask Your Majesty to invite another monk to pray for the soul of the underworld."

Master Xuanzang said this sincerely.

In terms of appearance, Master Xuanzang thinks that his foundation is here, and he can indeed be called a unique monk in the world, but if he holds any Dharma meeting, he is really sorry.

In the past three years, Master Xuanzang, who has only been making a pretense of the "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra", has long forgotten the essence of other Buddhist scriptures.

Judging from Master Xuanzang's senses, he is probably like a social animal three years after graduation, he has already returned the content of the book to the teacher, and he can remember the name of the Buddhist scriptures, which can be regarded as Master Xuanzang is a good monk who pays attention to details.

However, in the eyes of Li Shimin and others, Master Xuanzang's words were just humility.

Like this kind of monk who exudes Zen and Buddha from his bones, even if he searches the entire Tang Dynasty, he can't find a second person, let alone the faint style of vision birth and death between his every move.

Definitely a veritable enlightened monk!
