Chapter 60: Land and Water Conference
It is said that when Yin Qiao found Tang Seng and told Tang Seng about his intention, Tang Seng was taken aback, and the emperor wanted to find himself to do something to overspend his soul. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fortunately, after so many years, Tang Seng is no longer the Tang Seng he once was, now he is already a high monk, how can a mere Dharma stump him, he agreed, and said to Yin Qiao that this Dharma needs to be done for seven days in a water and land conference, Yin Qiao heard this request, and agreed without thinking about it, seeing Yin Qiao so refreshing, Tang Seng said that he would hold a water and land conference in the Temple of Mercy and Grace, Hongfu Temple is a little far away and a little small, Yin Qiao thought about it and agreed.
At dawn the next day after Yin Qiao returned to Li Shimin, the city of Chang'an was plastered with notices saying that the emperor was going to do a ritual to surpass the souls who died when the country was founded. The ceremony was held in the Temple of Mercy and Grace, and the presiding officer was Master Xuanzang, and the day set was the day after the notice was posted.
The people in Chang'an City looked at the notice and discussed, all of which said that they must go to the Temple of Mercy and Grace to see this water and land conference.
Early in the morning of the third day, there was a crowd of people in Chang'an, and many people walked towards the Temple of Mercy and Grace.
When they walked to the Temple of Mercy and Grace, they found that there were many Imperial Guards around the Temple of Mercy and Grace to maintain order, and there was a special person who told them that for the safety of the emperor and the ministers, and in order to prevent anyone from interrupting the water and land conference, they could only watch Master Xuanzang preside over the ceremony from a distance, and they could not get too close.
Everyone was prepared, and without too much resistance, they followed those people to the place assigned for them to see.
After a while, Li Shimin led the civil and military officials to this side, because the water and land conference will be held for a total of seven days, Li Shimin decided to live in the Temple of Mercy and Grace with all the civil and military officials for these seven days, and wait for the water and land conference to pass in the palace.
Li Shimin and the others sat in a platform that had just been built, looking at a high platform not far away, which was the place where Tang Seng chanted for a while.
Not long after Li Shimin and others sat down, Tang Seng wore a red robe and walked up to the high platform with a Zen stick in his hand, there was only one futon and a table on the high platform, on which there was an incense burner and a few thick incense sticks, and next to it was a wooden fish used to chant sutras.
Tang Seng carefully placed the Zen staff on the ground, looked at the hour, and waited for the bell to ring three times.
Tang Seng lit three big incense sticks, then sat cross-legged on the futon, picked up the wooden fish and knocked it up, chanting the scriptures in his mouth.
After Tang Seng chanted the scriptures, the monks sitting cross-legged under the high platform, some knocked on the wooden fish, some held Buddhist beads, and followed the Tang monk to read, and suddenly the voices of the people hovered over the Ci'en Temple, and then spread out.
The people who were rushing nearby heard the sound of chanting, and their steps quickened, and they hurried towards the Temple of Mercy and Grace.
In the platform that had just been built, Li Shimin listened to the chanting sound that came, and suddenly felt as if there was some peace in his heart, he turned his head to look, and found that most of the civil and military people had a closed eyes and a calm expression, except for Wei Zheng, Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong and Shi Jian.
Li Shimin smiled slightly, maybe only immortal cultivators will not be affected, but it seems that this water and land conference held may really be able to surpass the big brother.
The chanting does not stop until sunset.
When the chanting stopped, everyone opened their eyes and exhaled a breath, and many people felt very calm in their hearts and couldn't talk to themselves for a long time.
Shi Jian couldn't help but roll his eyes, he was different from Li Shimin, listening to the sound of chanting, his head was big, so he closed the six senses, entered the consciousness space to cultivate, and told the elves to wake him up after the chanting was finished.
Li Shimin looked at everyone and said, "How do you feel Aiqing?"
"Back to the emperor, this chanting sound is so magical, Wechen has been holding a breath in his heart for many days, but after listening to this chanting sound today, the breath in Wechen's heart is gone, it's amazing!" said a gray-haired old man.
"Yes, yes, Wechen also has some small problems, after listening to this chanting today, Wechen is also better. Another minister with a mustache said.
"yes, yes, it's amazing. Others said.
Hearing their words, Li Shimin said happily: "Haha, not only you Aiqing, but my originally irritable heart sutra is comfortable again today. ”
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor. Everyone said in unison.
Shi Jian couldn't help but roll his eyes again, he heard the elves say that it turned out that their own little problem was that one of the Buddhist protectors who followed Tang Seng and used a spell to cure them.
Just as everyone was talking, Tang Seng walked up.
"Amitabha, the poor monk has seen the emperor and everyone. Tang Seng smiled and said to everyone.
When he saw three people not far away, Tang Seng was suddenly stunned, he was not surprised to see his biological father Chen Guangrui and grandfather Yin Qiao, after all, his father Chen Guangrui and grandfather Yin Qiao were Tang officials, and it was not strange to accompany the emperor to Ci'en Temple, but why was he here, and with the emperor and hundreds of civil and military officials?
Li Shimin looked at Tang Seng with a smile in front of him, and sighed in his heart that he really looked exactly like his father, sighing, Li Shimin waved his hand to Tang Seng and said, "Master, please get up." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Tang Seng came back to his senses and said to Li Shimin.
"Master has been reciting the scriptures for a day, are you okay?" Li Shimin asked.
"Amitabha, thank you for your concern, it's nothing, chanting is originally our homework. Tang Seng bowed and said.
"In this way, in the next few days, I will ask the mage to overtake them and let them reincarnate as soon as possible. Li Shimin couldn't help but grab Tang Seng's hand and said.
"Amitabha, don't worry, the little monk will try his best to help them. Tang Seng said.
Li Shimin nodded.
"Your Majesty, my lords, it's not early, please go to the fast with me, please rest early after eating the food, the next few days will be very normal. Tang Seng said to everyone.
"Thank you Master for reminding us, we understand, and ask Master to lead the way. Everyone said in unison.
"Amitabha, please come with me. Tang Seng recited a Buddha name, turned around and led everyone away, and walked towards the canteen.
After eating the food, Shi Jian came to a courtyard alone and sat down, as if waiting for someone.
After a while, he dragged off his robe, and Tang Seng in civilian clothes came here.
"Amitabha, Shi Jushi, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Looking at Shi Jian sitting on the stone bench, Tang Seng spoke.
"Little Master Xuanzang, yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's been eight years since we parted from Jinshan Temple, right?" Shi Jian turned to look at Tang Seng and said.
"Yes, it's been eight years, eight years have passed, and today I see Shi Jushi following the emperor, presumably Shi Jushi, you have already been named on the gold list, right?" Tang Seng said softly.
"Haha, little master Xuanzang, you are wrong. Shi Jian laughed.
"The poor monk is wrong, where is the poor monk wrong?" Tang Seng looked at Shi Jian suspiciously.
"Little Master Xuanzang, you said that you are in the title of the gold list, but it is wrong, you have already abandoned literature and martial arts, and you are following Lu Guogong in the next. Shi Jian said.
"Abandon literature and follow martial arts?" Tang Seng muttered.
"Yes, now I am an officer at the lowest level of Datang. After Shi Jian finished speaking, he looked at Tang Seng and said: "Little Master Xuanzang, it's late at night, you better rest early, and continue to chant tomorrow, when this matter is over, we are slowly catching up." After Shi Jian finished speaking, he used light skills and flew towards his room.
Looking at Shi Jian's leaving, Tang Seng smiled slightly, yes, if you have time to talk about something, he turned around and walked towards his room. (To be continued.) )
