Chapter 154: The End
With the efforts of many eminent monks, it took two years just to translate the Buddhist scriptures brought back by Xuanzang, and the reason why it took so long was because this was the prosperous era of Buddhism, and there was no room for mistakes.
After several revisions, all Buddhist scriptures began to be officially printed and sent to all parts of the country, which also entered the field of vision of believers and expanded the influence of Buddhism.
With the official translation of the scriptures, Xuanzang can be said to have completed his merits.
Finally, Tang Taizong Li Shimin officially summoned this legendary monk, connecting his three apprentices, as well as the incomparably divine white dragon horse.
As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin has not seen monsters, or more spirits, but it is the first time to meet such a powerful monster.
Especially the appearance of Zhu Bajie and the wild boar, it is really frightening, fierce and abnormal, in front of these three apprentices, even the most fierce brave generals in Datang, you can clearly feel your insignificance.
If they are fierce generals who are enemies of a hundred people, then any of Xuanzang's three apprentices, any one of them can make the river flow backwards and destroy the city.
Their appearance alone is enough to prove that Xuanzang's record in "The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" is true, Xiniu Hezhou is really a monster and a monster, and even the king has to give in in front of the monsters.
But in the end, Tang Taizong, who had experienced the battle array, had not been intimidated by the monsters, and talked with Xuanzang without changing his face, asking some interesting stories about Journey to the West.
In the end, Li Shimin personally inscribed Jinshan Temple and gave Xuanzang the name of the holy monk.
After all the merits were completed, Xuanzang specially recited and prayed for Li Shimin, but something unexpected happened.
"Those who recite the scriptures, put down the scriptures and follow me back to the western land."
The image of the Eight Great King Kongs appeared in mid-air, and he didn't care about Li Shimin's identity as Emperor Tang at all, and the appearance of the gods made countless people kowtow and worship.
This is undoubtedly a great disrespect to Li Shimin, but as a mortal emperor, he has no way to deal with such a situation, and it is impossible to even punish the crime.
Xuanzang, who is famous all over the world, is just a "chanter" in the mouth of the Eight Great King Kongs, and his arrogant attitude can be seen in general.
Just when the Eight Great King Kong wanted to directly sweep Xuanzang back to the Western Land, suddenly the sky was once again glorious and generous, and a golden Buddha blocked the means of the Eight King Kongs.
"Amitabha, I don't know what is the important matter for the Eight Great Vajra of the Western Land to come to the Eastern Land?" There is no doubt that the Buddha who appeared is the Duobao Taoist who was turned into a Buddha by Lao Tzu back then.
He is now the head of Theravada Buddhism, named Duobao Buddha, but his reputation has not been obvious for so many years, and even many monks do not know his name, almost thinking that he was born to divide the fortune of Buddhism, and has no future.
But now at this time, with the ability of the Eight King Kongs, he does not have the ability to confront him at all, so he can only give up the plan to forcibly take Xuanzang away.
You must know that there is only the last moment left to learn scriptures in the west, as long as Xuanzang returns to the west, the real merit is immeasurable and a complete success.
If it is blocked by the Duobao Dao people, then the loss of the Western Soil will be huge, and the two Buddha Buddhas will disappear.
"Xuanzang's merits are complete, as long as he will be sealed in the west, I don't know why the Buddha of Duobao stopped him?" The Eight King Kongs are not vegetarians, and if this task is not completed, what awaits them will definitely not be a good end.
Duobao Buddha didn't pay attention to the Eight King Kongs at all, but set his eyes on Xuanzang.
"Xuanzang, on this trip to Lingshan, have you ever seen Elysium?" Duobao Buddha asked Xuanzang with a smile.
Just a simple question reminded Xuanzang of all the hardships he had experienced in Xihe Niuzhou, the so-called Buddhism is basically the same as the aristocracy, except for chanting scriptures, it has basically run counter to the teachings of Buddhism.
Especially because of the personnel experience in Leiyin Temple, he had a different view of the so-called Elysium.
After two years of accumulation, the Buddhism of the Tang Dynasty and the Xihe Niuzhou are completely different, under the secret influence of Gao Fei, the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism have assumed the responsibility of the charity sector, and it is also an important reason why Buddhism can stay in the eastern soil, and this kind of fame is unmatched by the Western Tu Buddhism.
But he was also unwilling to let Xuanzang give up his Dao Fruit, which made him hesitate for a while.
"Xuanzang, Jin Chanzi didn't regret his choice back then." Duobao Buddha seemed to see through Xuanzang's hesitation, and his words were penetrating.
Duobao Buddha's words made Xuanzang like a slap in the face, why did the golden cicada go to the lower realm back then, and there was a reason in his heart at this moment.
"The disciple has not seen Elysium." Xuanzang finally strengthened his belief.
In front of the Eight Great Vajras, the Duobao Buddha began to debate with Xuanzang, and the core teachings naturally revolved around the "heart", "sexuality" and "Buddha" of Zen Buddhism.
This debate lasted for three days and three nights, and finally convinced Xuanzang.
"Disciple to meet the Buddha of Duobao." Xuanzang fell under the teachings of the Buddha of Duobao.
Compared with Western Buddhism, which is empty of the four majors, the teachings of Zen Buddhism directly point to the human heart, conform to human nature, and do not have any coercive meaning.
This made Xuanzang, who was quite disappointed in Lingshan, choose his own direction after seeing another path to bliss.
"Xuanzang, don't be mistaken, the West naturally has the Buddha's fruition, and it falls short." Three days was enough time for Guanyin to arrive in person and persuade Xuanzang.
But for the determined Xuanzang, her appearance was too late.
"The disciple has already entered the door of the Duobao Buddha and thanked the teachings of Master Guanyin." Xuanzang's face was full of respect, and he was still firm and unrepentant.
"Dobble, do you really want to do this?" Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at the Duobao Buddha, the high-spirited Duobao Taoist has become a wasted person with no future, and can only rely on the mana of the past.
In this regard, Guanyin Bodhisattva has caught up with the gap with the Duobao Daoist people and will surpass the past in the near future.
Guanyin's words revealed a hint of threat, the threat of Buddhism can be ignored by the Daomen and the Heavenly Court after the entire flood, and Theravada Buddhism does not have this qualification at all.
If Western Buddhism had intervened, Theravada Buddhism would have collapsed in an instant.
"Buddha is the way." Duobao Buddha landed lightly, and the entire sky collapsed, and lightning and thunder roared.
Guanyin's eyes suddenly widened, revealing a look of disbelief, and the nondescript image of the Buddha began to transform, and finally returned to the image of the year.
A Buddha emerged from the body of the Duobao Daoist, and another demon head was separated from the body of the Duobao Daoist, and in just an instant, the Duobao Daoist beheaded the two corpses and achieved the position of quasi-saint.
The vision of the sky was swept away, the glow of the sun, the purple qi came from the east, and the Duobao Daoist looked at Guanyin fixedly, revealing a kind of indifference in her eyes, which made her panic from the heart.
"Daoist friends retire." Guanyin walked away with interest, Buddha was originally the way out, Theravada Buddhism has been completely separated from Buddhism, and Zen Buddhism has been merged into the ranks of Taoism.
The luck of Taoism has skyrocketed at this moment, and Gao Fei, who is planning in the back, has also entered the ranks of quasi-saints, beheading a corpse, and his merits are immeasurable.
The original aggressive scene of Buddhism was completely disintegrated, the situation reversed, and the Taoist sect gained the upper hand.
At this point, Gao Fei can finally retire from the position of the leader of the Taoist sect, and pass the position to the Duobao Daoist.
