The generals of the Tang Dynasty are "full of martial virtues", especially these veterans who have fought on the battlefield all their lives, and they have always been disdainful of Buddhism

Worship the Buddha every day, can you knock down this country?

If you pray to the Buddha and Bodhisattva before you go on the expedition, you can bless yourself from death?

It's all.

When the Central Plains competed for the world, it was not mentioned.

During the expedition to the Turks, how did the generals boost the morale of the soldiers below?

It's just four words - glorious ancestors.

When he returns victoriously, he is the hero of the Tang Dynasty; Even if he died in battle, his name will be recorded in the prefectural records.

If you can make meritorious deeds, I am afraid that the name can be mentioned to the homepage, and the ancestors in the back township are all incense.

Of course, these are all spiritual encouragements, and the most important thing is to pay the money.

General Datang is not resistant to the entire Buddhism, but naturally respects a real monk like Master Sanzang. Not to mention anything else, just to say that Master Sanzang's firm determination to walk 108,000 miles to the west to learn scriptures is not enough for them to admire.

This sounds like a difficult thing to do. I'm afraid it's not easy.

Those demons who stand in the way, even if they are generals who have fought all their lives, they may not be able to match them if they meet them single-handedly.

And the deeds of Master Sanzang all the way to subdue demons and eliminate demons, punish evil and promote good, they all learned from His Majesty.

His Majesty cares about this royal brother very much, so he often shares the news from Xizhou with his courtiers that those who have a heart have begun to figure out the emperor's heart.

The younger generals, thinking that this is an opportunity, Master Sanzang is like a living map, and when he comes back, Datang has a topographic map that is almost deep in the east and west lines of Xizhou, if you want to make meritorious achievements, you will be here in the future.

However, for the older ones, it can be inferred from His Majesty's attitude towards Baoxiang, Wuji and other countries that after His Majesty pacified Goguryeo and took over the Tibetan kingdoms of Tubo and Wusi, this pioneering spirit has been sharply reduced.

Especially now that he is cultivating the prince wholeheartedly, it can be seen that His Majesty can not easily conquer the outside world.

Therefore, he reused Wang Xuance to the outside world, transferred Xue Rengui, who originally led the troops, back, let him refine the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry and sent the Shence Army into the rivers and lakes, and began to explore the location of those demons in the Tang Dynasty.

When Lu Guogong first heard the news, he said that he could still fight. Stalking and trying to get a demon from His Majesty.

But Li Shimin disagreed, and only said: "Lu Guogong is old, when he should enjoy the joy of family at home, why fight and kill again"

After that, he also sent two Buddhist scriptures to him to read more to dispel the murderous aura that had been deposited over the years.

Of course, Lao Cheng didn't look at it, but his wife knew about it, and said: "Since it is Your Majesty's command, you have to read it if you don't read it, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the decree." ”

Lao Cheng said at the time: "Have I seen it, and Your Majesty doesn't know?" ”

"I know." The Duchess of Guo paused, and said again: "You don't know, since Zhenguan sixteen years ago, the queen's mother was seriously ill, but fortunately, Dr. Sun rejuvenated, and only then did she save the phoenix body." In the future, Niangniang will be more sympathetic to me and other orders, and often call me to wait for the palace to pass on the imperial doctor's pulse, if you occasionally ask to find it, the concubine body can not cover it for you. ”

It is precisely because of this section that Lu Guogong's murderous spirit is afraid that more than half of it has been transferred to these two Buddhist scriptures.

And from another point of view. Maybe it's an alternative solution?

It's better to have an outlet than to hold it in your heart.

But this beam is finished.

When he said this at this moment, he has always shown such a "muddy" image; Second, I really listened to the words of the great sage, and blurted out in excitement.

In fact, after saying that, I regretted it a little, after all, it was in front of Master Sanzang, and it was really impolite to say such slanderous words to the Buddha in front of His Majesty and colleagues.

Just as he was about to say something to remedy, he heard the great sage shout after him, "The old man is right!" ”

Alas?

Lu Guogong was stunned for a moment, and then heard the great sage continue: "My old grandson also thought so at that time."

"You monkey, how dare you slander the Buddha like this?" Fahai on the side seemed to be serious and reprimanded, but in fact, he just said some painless words, and even handed over the words to the Great Sage.

The Great Sage followed Master's words and explained, "Master. What kind of character is the Buddha and his old man? How can you be like my grandson? If he is really as my grandson and the old man said, it is just because of the image, so he pretends to be high. That is, the disciple did not say anything wrong about him; But if it is really a disciple's small belly and chicken intestines, he spends the belly of a gentleman with a small heart. Since the disciple does not practice enough, he cannot perceive the realm of the Buddha, and he should practice seriously in the future. If you want to be as compassionate and pot-bellied as the Buddha, you won't worry about us ordinary people. ”

The meaning of the words of the great sage was understood by everyone present.

For a while, I felt that this spiritual mountain Buddha realm seemed to be no different from this mundane world.

This is the man's words. It is quite as if they advised the emperor to be a wise prince and to be magnanimous, and not to be very similar to the appearance of the courtiers who angered His Majesty with their recklessness at times.

Li Shimin also had a little coke in his heart when he heard it, and he also echoed a sentence: "The reason why the Buddha is the Buddha must be beyond the reach of ordinary people, but even so, after Brother Wang goes home, he should pay homage in front of the Buddha."

Everyone was still wondering who Li Shimin was calling when he called Brother Wang.

"Hey!"

But when he saw Lu Guogong screaming over there, he stepped out of the crowd, and hurriedly pulled his official uniform and shouted: "Your Majesty, Lao Cheng will go home and farm." ”

Only then did everyone react, and this Wang brother was actually calling Lu Guogong.

For this "Brother Wang", he was naturally confused, but now is not the time to ask, so he has to hold it in his heart.

The old ministers who know the beginning and the end, especially the old ministers who came out of Wagang, all smiled heartily.

When Wagangzhai rebelled, our Lu Guogong also served as the Dade Emperor for a period of time.

When he met Li Shimin, who was still the king of Qin at the time, on the battlefield, he chased several mountains with his Xuanhua axe. It was King Qin who hid in the Laojun Temple, and the temple door was overturned by Lu Guogong with an axe.

Later, the Wagang army was defeated, and Cheng Biting Jin returned to Tang, because of the "Emperor Dade" who was like a child's play, Li Shimin jokingly called him "Brother Wang".

After that, he gradually changed his name.

But in private, it will occasionally be mentioned to "tease" this unscrupulous cronie general.

Now that it is mentioned in the main hall, His Majesty must be afraid that Lu Guogong's words will really "evil" the Buddha, so he did it intentionally.

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, Li Shimin has made his attitude clear.

Sanzang is my royal brother, and Lu Guogong is my royal brother

When the royal brother learned the scriptures, although he was sent by me, he was also invited by the Bodhisattva of your Lingshan, and I didn't mention the important personnel matters;

But now that my brother has criticized you, you can't be angry.

"Amitabha." Fahai recited a Buddha name, the so-called see through it or not, Fahai only stretched out his hand to stop Lu Guogong, who was walking out quickly.

Lu Guogong was born with brute force, even if he didn't take the initiative to exert his strength, how could ordinary people stop him?

But at this moment, he seemed to have hit Qin Qiong's iron shovel.

Hey?

Then secretly exerted his strength, hiss-

Pedal Pedal –

Lu Guogong took a few steps back and asked curiously towards Master Sanzang: "This kind of power is the mana of Buddhism?" ”

"It's not the power of Buddhism." Fahai shook his body, and a force of extremely pure human bloodline erupted from his body.

This scene attracted the attention of many generals and secretly amazed.

"Oops." Lu Guogong shouted again, "I almost forgot, the holy monk also got the inheritance of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and Dayu."

Lu Guogong, who was still a little outside, smiled and instantly became kind.

Compared with the identity of Buddhist monks, it is obvious that the name of "Xuanyuan heir" is more recognized in Datang.

Today's main hall.

Let the Great Sage and Lu Guogong make such a fuss before and after, naturally it is not serious, but the return of the royal brother to the court is originally a happy event, and such a relaxed atmosphere seems to be more cordial.

Whether it is Li Shimin or the hundred officials in the court, they are all consciously or unintentionally maintaining this transcendent atmosphere.

Lu Guogong was persuaded by Master Sanzang to return to his seat, and he also cheekily invited Master Sanzang to his mansion as a guest. Although Lao Cheng doesn't like Buddhism, he is proficient in martial arts, and when he meets a master like Master Sanzang, he is naturally happy to see the hunt.

Fahai did not refuse this, although there are imperial doctors to regulate the bodies of these veterans, but Fahai can see that there are still many hidden injuries in the bodies of these generals, although they do not want to die, it is definitely a burden and torture to the body.

Perhaps, from the perspective of ordinary Buddhism's causality theory, it is because the killings they caused on the battlefield are too heavy, and these injuries and illnesses are retribution.

But from the perspective of a Tang people. These veterans have fought for the country on the battlefield all their lives, shouldn't they enjoy themselves when they are old?

The luck of the Tang Dynasty is that there are these courtiers who have died with their lives, as well as Emperor Taizong who trusts them enough.

And Zhao Song doesn't mention it.

It was also a long delay, and it was getting late in a short time.

Li Shimin left the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Tao, Cheng Yanjin and other old ministers to stay, and asked Wang Xuance, Xue Rengui and other young ministers not to leave first, and the rest of the hundred officials will retreat first and return to their respective homes.

Those who stay and those who leave are naturally different tastes in their hearts. This is all inevitable and understandable.

"I heard that when the lords of various countries entertained the royal brothers, they were all in the imperial garden." Li Shimin said with a smile: "But I don't know, how is the imperial garden of the other king's palace compared to me?" ”

Then he led the people to the Imperial Garden.

Before leaving, the great sage did not forget to put all the scriptures on the main hall in the human seed bag.

At this time, Li Tao on the side asked: "What kind of immortal magic weapon is this, it has such an effect?" ”

"Speaking of this magic weapon, it actually has a great origin-" While on the way, the Great Sage will tell everyone about the subdued Huangmei Monster in Xiaoxitian.

After hearing this, Li Shimin nodded again and again, and said, "Sure enough, if it is such a thing in the mountains and wilderness, I will not receive any news here." It's just that I didn't expect this human seed bag to be the magic weapon of the Buddha from the East."

Li Tao whispered on the side: "Your Majesty, if my Tang Dynasty can imitate this treasure, I don't have to worry about grain and grass when I march in the future." ”

As soon as these words came out, the monarchs and ministers suddenly stopped.

"It's a pity." The great sage also said: "Although this treasure is good, it is the thing of the Buddha from the east, but it is only temporarily borrowed from me, and after his yellow-eyed boy returns from the catastrophe in the future, I am afraid that he will come to retrieve it." ”

Li Tao thought for a while, and then asked the Great Sage for advice: "Dare to ask the Great Sage, is this kind of treasure common in the cultivation world?" ”

"Storage." The Great Sage first confirmed the popular name of "such magic weapon" to Li Tao, and then said: "This thing seems to be precious, but it is actually not uncommon. Those immortals in the heavenly court, almost everyone in the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Lingshan have one or two. Some are mostly in the shape of a bag, and there are also belts, bracelets, rings, as well as gourds, jade bottles, and so on. And this acquired seed bag, storage is actually only one of its most basic functions. As for the cultivation world, my grandson really doesn't know very well, after all, after my grandson returned from school, he has always dealt with immortals. In the mundane cultivation world, I really don't know much about it. ”

"I see." Li Tao saluted the Great Sage: "Thank you for your advice." ”

How smart is the Great Sage?

Seeing him like this, he knew what he was thinking: "But you want to recruit some cultivators under your command? ”

When Li Tao heard this, he looked at His Majesty first, and when he saw His Majesty nodding, he said, "I do have this plan, and I have already had some contact with some Immortal Mountain cultivators." ”

"I heard that all the countries in the Western Continent are now recruiting cultivators. That Dongsheng Shenzhou is even more of a cultivation sect that is above the national dynasty. Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "If my Datang doesn't deal with it, I'm afraid that I will fall into passivity in the future." ”

There is a reason for that. But Your Majesty." The Great Sage still reminded Li Shimin: "Since the Shang Dynasty of the Zhou Dynasty, most of the true cultivators have lived in seclusion in the mountains to practice, and few have entered the world, let alone the Zhou Fengshen War, they are the most shy about cause and effect in the world. Therefore, if there is anyone who is ashamed in front of His Majesty, please Your Majesty must carefully distinguish its authenticity, if you can't check it, you can find my grandson to take a look. ”

The Great Sage knew very well that after this incident, there would be no more obstacles to recruiting cultivators in the country.

Not all practitioners can endure suffering. Some weak-willed people will inevitably not be moved by this. Or they have great ambitions and are not afraid of being contaminated with worldly cause and effect.

Once there is a change in the ruling class, then the corresponding problems will be reflected in the people's livelihood. The great sage has been following the master for fourteen years, and it is inevitable that he will be worried.

If it is not handled well, I am afraid that there will be twists and turns.

And Fahai had another question in his mind: should the cultivation world be distinguished from the world?

Fortunately, he has achieved success in his cultivation and does not have to worry about the shortness of life, and can spend some time to find answers.
