The people's peaceful state of mind was broken, and they all looked angrily at the place where the sound started, and saw that it was a dirty old man with long hair, and they couldn't help but talk about it, and some people wanted to step forward and drive him away.

Shen Fang was smiling, and after persuading the people to return, he quickly ran to the old man, made a big salute, and said: "Father, forgive me, the poor monks have been reciting Buddha since childhood, and the monks they have seen are all talking about Hinayana Buddhism, but they don't know how Mahayana Buddhism is. Since my master has given me the Buddha treasure, if I can point out this Mahayana Buddhism again, the poor monk should be grateful. ”

The old man said, "You Hinayana Dharma can only persuade people to be good and drive away their worries, but you can't overcome death and exaltation. My Mahayana Dharma can transcend the deceased and ascend to heaven, and I can overcome the suffering of difficult people. Only when ordinary people practice our Mahayana Dharma can they understand the truth, resolve the knots of a hundred grievances, and eliminate the disasters of innocence. Don't say that this vast desert is a hundred calamities, all kinds of demons, but it can also transcend and destroy, open up another pure land, and rekindle the fire of civilization. ”

Hearing this, even Li Shimin, who was on the side, became excited, and stepped forward to ask: "Is this true?" ”

The old man's words are one by one on several major governance issues that he is worried about, especially the last mention of opening up a pure land, isn't it the immigration plan he is most concerned about?

Although Shenfang's previous lectures could calm the minds of Chang'an residents and alleviate the problems caused by the closed underground life, Li Shimin knew that this could not cure the root cause after all. In particular, the old man's mention of the transcendence of the deceased, the purification of the souls of the dead, and the effect of cleansing sins and dissipating calamities are exactly what he needs most.

Now that he has seen the manifestation of the Buddha's treasure, he naturally no longer doubts the old man, and like the god who is dedicated to the pursuit of Buddhism, he chases the old man and asks about the mystery of Mahayana Buddhism.

The old man asked rhetorically: "Although Chang'an is harmonious and stable, and there are many people who are dedicated to goodness, Li Shimin, do you remember the mission passed on to you by the king of Hades during your trip to the underworld?" How many have been realized today? ”

Li Shimin was surprised and delighted, surprised that this old man actually knew that he had been to the underworld, and he was happy that at this time, someone finally admitted that the trip to the underworld was not a dream, and finally untied his heart knot for many years.

"The old man has a Buddha treasure and talks well, so he must be an immortal. I dare not forget the trip to the underworld, and I have made unremitting efforts in the past few years, just to govern Chang'an properly. However, due to the limitations of ability, many difficulties are still insurmountable, and please ask the immortal master to talk more about the wonders of Mahayana Buddhism! He said excitedly.

The old man shook his head and said, "Mahayana Buddhism is so subtle, is it just a tool for governance?" You are too eager for quick success, and you are afraid that this Dharma will give you, and you will not be able to comprehend the true meaning. Although my Buddha has the heart to preach the positive result, it is also necessary for you, the sentient beings of Chang'an, to have firm faith and cultivate the Buddha's heart. ”

Shen Fang knelt on the ground, bowed deeply to the old man, and said: "Please make it clear to the master, only ask for this Mahayana Buddhist scripture, even if the poor monk goes to the soup and fire, he will not hesitate!" ”

The old man nodded approvingly, folded his hands, and recited a scripture, and suddenly his whole body was covered with colorful light, reflecting the surroundings as if they were illusions.

When the dazzling light dissipated, the place where the old man had been was empty was gone. People were wondering where he had gone, when suddenly someone felt ten thousand Buddha's lights shining above his head, and hurriedly called left and right to look.

I saw an immortal wearing a white robe and stepping on auspicious clouds floating above the crowd, this immortal had a jade face and red lips, and was born handsome and kind. The long hair hangs down the shoulders, the white clothes are better than the snow, and the eyebrows are full of solemnity. She pinched a magic seal in one hand, and held a treasure bottle in the other, and a verdant willow was inserted diagonally in the bottle. A huge lotus flower rests under her crossed legs, slowly spinning.

It is Guanyin Bodhisattva!

The crowd boiled, and everyone fell to the ground in unison, chanting: "Nan Wu Guanyin Bodhisattva!" Nan no Guanyin Bodhisattva! ”

Xuanzang also mixed in the crowd of kneeling and worshipping, convincing himself to let go of his psychological cleanliness and not let the other party see that there was anything wrong with his movements and expressions.

Just looking at Guanyin's translucent milky white limb shell, the delicate structure exposed at the joints, and the projected lotus seat, he couldn't help but think: Why is it just an incarnation that was sent?

However, her body has also been transformed to not resemble a human form, and this incarnation is more in line with the image of Guanyin in people's impressions, and it reveals so much divinity, which is enough to shock.

Guanyin looked down at the people who kept kowtowing, and his lips lightly opened: "Listen to the ordinary people, my Buddha is here to promote the positive fruit, purify all sentient beings, and now make Mahayana Buddhist scriptures, which are stored in Tianzhu Daleiyin Temple." If there are those who are not afraid of hardships and dangers and are willing to go to the west to learn scriptures, they will get the golden body of positive fruits and become the cause of helping the world. ”

After speaking, the golden light flashed, and the Bodhisattva was gone, leaving only a little Sanskrit incense.

People got up from the ground one after another, talking excitedly about the wonders just now, and sighed that if they can see Guanyin Bodhisattva once today, they will be blessed by the Buddha for the rest of their lives, and they will die without regrets.

Li Shimin patted the dust off his knees, raised his head, and saw that Shenfang had come to him, recited the Buddha's name, and said earnestly: "My lord, the poor monk witnessed the miracle today, and his heart was stirred. I was also blessed by the Bodhisattva and inspired by the Buddha's voice, and I couldn't calm down for a long time. The poor monk is now petitioning the adults, vowing to arrive at the Holy Land of the West Heaven and seek the Mahayana scriptures for Chang'an! ”

"Although I am lonely and unheard, I also know that Tianzhu is more than thousands of miles away, and there are many demons and difficulties along the way. Is the master really willing to embark on the road of learning scriptures for Chang'an? Li Shimin asked solemnly.

When Guanyin said about learning scriptures, the best person who jumped out of his heart was Shenfang. He had no doubt about the firmness of Shenfang's faith, but Shenfang had only been in Chang'an for two years, and he probably didn't have too much loyalty to this refuge.

However, Shen Fang straightened up and said loudly: "Chang'an is the most beautiful place I have ever seen, and all living beings here have the most wisdom. The poor monk swears here that if he can't bring the true scriptures back to Chang'an, the poor monk will be shattered and his soul will be scattered, and he will never be exalted! ”

Then he took incense and worshiped the Buddha, and took the treasure given by the Bodhisattva as a letter, and repeated the oath again in front of the chanting machine.

Seeing his resolute attitude, Li Shimin couldn't help but be deeply moved, helped Shenfang up, and jointly announced the plan to the people below to go west. After hearing this, everyone praised Master Shenfang for his dedication to the Buddha and his loyalty to the virtuous.

Xuanzang saw them retreat into the gate amid the cheers of the crowd, presumably in a hurry to discuss the matter of learning from the scriptures, and should have forgotten their existence. That was the best, and he took the opportunity to leave the scene quickly. After watching such a long performance and listening to the awkward fairy official tone for so long, he was really fed up.

I don't know if Guanyin's true body is also in Chang'an. Yang Jian's urgent warning only mentioned that she had arrived in Chang'an, but did not have time to explain the specific situation.

Now I only see one Guanyin incarnation, the so-called incarnation, of course, it's no problem to throw a few at random. Therefore, although the play has been completed, the task of learning from the scriptures has been conveyed in place, and it is said that everything has come to an end, Xuanzang still does not dare to relax his vigilance.

Li Shimin is the lord of a city, his horizons are much broader than ordinary residents, and he has been trained by technology for so many years, so he should not have been bluffed like this by a mechanized body.

But this is only Xuanzang's opinion. He compares his heart to his heart, and also understands that in Li Shimin's view, the technology of Buddhism and the technology of the refuge are truly worlds apart. The effect shown is no different from immortal magic. Therefore, the mortal people will eventually submit to the divine power of the gods and Buddhas.

The development of science and technology in the world is forever restricted by the technological singularity and the monitoring of gods and Buddhas, and it has never been able to break through the dome. How sad it is that the great difference has almost divided the man from the source and the god into two species.

Thinking about that was too far, he had to regain his original strength in order to change all this. Now that Journey to the West has been determined, how to enter this expeditionary team is the major thing that Xuanzang should be concerned about.

In addition to making up some reasons for his contribution to Shenfang, he had another way to go. When he entered Chang'an as a messenger, it was not only for some operational convenience, but also to leave a way out for himself. He can also use this identity to leave Chang'an again and find an excuse to walk with Shenfang.

Anyway, Erlang God's main purpose is just to let him follow Shenfang.

For the next few days, everything was uncomfortably calm, no one was bothering him, and there was no crisis for him to deal with. Xuanzang enjoyed a rare leisure, playing around Chang'an, as if he was really a resident who had lived here for many years.

But eventually, the Wasteland Helper's jolt broke the peace.
