Chapter 496: Xiao Ke Zeng Shen; Li Shimin: We have to invite people back from the West!
When the opportunity comes, it can't be stopped.
Datang just produced a holy Buddha Tang Sanzang, and there was such a reborn change. In fact, this Qiankun bow and sky-shaking arrow are not the top divine weapons in the ancient human race, otherwise they would not have landed in Chentang Pass "no one cares".
Of course, perhaps because of the Jiuli battle soul in it, those who covet this treasure will retreat.
Those who know the inside story are still very clear, even if this divine weapon is in his hands, he will not be able to exert his true power, because once its spirituality is stimulated, it will inevitably attract the Jiuli battle soul in it, and then the heavenly calamity will descend. Not to mention that it is difficult for the divine soldiers to be preserved in the heavenly tribulation, whether the person holding the treasure can escape with his whole body is also two words.
But Master Sanzang made a move, and everything was different.
Xue Rengui got off the altar, and Nezha also took out the congratulatory gift he had prepared, "Master Sanzang, this is Nezha's special trip to the Jinguang Cave of Qianyuan Mountain to ask the master for the lotus platform."
"Master said that as a holy Buddha of the Three Realms, how could he not have a commensurate pedestal? Knowing that the mage was unwilling to ride a mount, he deliberately gave this green lotus to Nezha to the mage."
It was obviously a cyan lotus platform, but at this moment it bloomed with nine-colored brilliance, and when the treasure light shone brightly, the treasure lotus lamp held by the three virgins in her hand, as well as Nezha itself, also showed a unique light at the same time.
Li Shan Lao Mu immediately smiled: "It's also fate. When I passed by Qianyuan Mountain, I saw a green lotus in a cave where it was bred, but the congenital defect was difficult to form, so I left the Baolian lamp here, so that the two sides of each other nourished each other, and then this hole was occupied by Taiyi Zhenren, because the Baolian lamp is here, always blooming brightly, so he named it Jinguang Cave. β
Later, Baolian Lantern was born when she met Yang Chan, and Nezha's current lotus incarnation is also from the same source. And the lotus platform in front of me is the green lotus that turned into the green lotus back then, and now it is the most suitable as the lotus platform of Sanzang to sit down. β
"This is their creation."
After hearing this, everyone nodded again and again, and at the same time said that they were envious.
But some of the brains are active, and they think of some strange things, such as: The Taiyi Zhenren who guards the Golden Light Cave, isn't it a big loss?
After working for a long time, did you not keep it?
The Pauline lamp was taken away by the Three Virgins; Lotus roots, lotus leaves and lotus flowers have fulfilled Nezha's lotus incarnation; Even the last lotus platform was asked to leave by Nezha, and now it is given to Master Sanzang as a congratulatory gift.
He co-authored him as a tool to show Nuwa Niangniang's passport materials, and he didn't even keep his family background for many years, and he gave all his brains to Nezha for self-defense.
Now Taiyi Zhenren is practicing alone in the Jinguang Cave of Qianyuan Mountain, if it weren't for Nezha's lively temperament, he wouldn't be idle at all, and he would go to make a noise with him every once in a while, like an empty nester.
Everyone else is envious of Master Sanzang's good chance, a grand opening ceremony, you can receive so many precious treasures, which are placed in the past, they are all unavoidable treasures, spiritual root artifacts!
But as long as you are in the Three Realms, the slightest rumor of wind will definitely cause a bloody storm.
And now, in addition to the involuntary envy in everyone's expressions, there is no other strange look This kind of thing happened to Master Sanzang, and everyone will only take it for granted.
Fahai is by no means a hypocritical person, but seeing that the gifts given by everyone are more valuable than one another, his heart is actually not as calm as it seems on the surface.
These are all human favors, although he is a person in Buddhism, this face is really not so thick, and now he has accepted the heavy gifts of others, and the entanglement of cause and effect is a little deeper.
However, Fahai will not worry too much about this, because their master and apprentice have a good friendship with these distinguished guests. It can be said that the relationship between them has not changed because of these gifts.
Fahai immediately refined the lotus platform.
At this moment, he was wearing a crown of five Buddhas, a brocade robe, a nine-ring tin staff in one hand, and a dragon whisker in the other, sitting on the green lotus and a holy Buddha scene.
The only thing that is a little unsatisfactory is that in the hands of this holy Buddha, there is a string of Buddha beads missing, which was originally given by Li Shan Laomu to Sanzang, but this Buddha bead is now in the hands of Queen Xiliang, which can be regarded as a period of red dust karma for Master Sanzang in the world. It is also a testament to the words of Master Sanzang from the mortal world.
The Li family's father and son were followed by the barefoot Daxian, this Daxian and the Sanzang Master met for the first time, but the shot was also very extraordinary, and he took a set of wooden fish refined from the Dongzhou Shenmu to congratulate the Weizhi sect.
The barefoot immortal and Sanzang said a few words, but they didn't stay long, and then they gave up their hands and got off the altar.
And then everyone saw that Tai Bai Xing did not move, and they knew that this old way was to receive the will of the Jade Emperor to come to the back row, so Erlang Zhenjun and Mr. Ziyu apologized to each other, Mr. Ziyu walked up to the altar, bowed to the four directions, and then stopped in front of Master Sanzang.
Fahai didn't dare to hold it up, and bowed together when Mr. Ziyu saluted.
"Sir, it's been a long time."
This time it was Fahai who spoke first.
When everyone present saw such a scene, they couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts, who was this gentleman who was sacred, and how could he be so courteous to Master Sanzang?
Master Sanzang's temperament is also known to everyone today. Even if this Temple of Mercy and Grace is now full of immortals and Buddhas, there are few that can make Master Sanzang greet him so much, and when the gods and immortals look at each other, they find that everyone doesn't seem to know this gentleman dressed as a Confucian student.
But they are not in a hurry, and the smarter ones can already deduce the origin of the other party. Don't bother to brainstorm, don't panic, as long as one person knows who this gentleman is, everyone present will know sooner or later.
Besides, now that he is on the altar, must he not report himself to his house?
And Li Chunfeng on the side saw that the emperor was only slightly puzzled, and then he understood it, and he was also a little curious in his heart, so he asked the emperor, "Your Majesty is a bamboo in your chest, but you know the origin of this gentleman?" β
Li Chunfeng, as the spokesperson of the world's teachings in the world, naturally recognized Mr. Ziyu, originally he wanted to introduce one or two to His Majesty, but now it seems. It's better to put on a sentence yourself, and let Your Majesty tell the origin of this gentleman.
"Hahahaha-" Li Shimin laughed a few times when he heard this, and then said to the ministers: "This gentleman must not be someone else, it is the one that the royal brother mentioned before, Mr. Ziyu, who came down from the Huoyun Cave and established a school and preached in the West. β
Confucianism has two gentlemen, one is Mencius and the other is Zengzi.
But no matter which one it is, it is enough to make the Confucian scholars of the Tang Dynasty crazy.
"Xiao Ke has participated in it, and I have seen the Holy Buddha."
Wow β
Under the altar, the ministers were immediately not calm, especially those Confucians who served in the court, if they were not attending the opening ceremony of the Wisdom Sect in the Temple of Mercy and Grace at this moment, they would have already gone up to meet the "patriarch".
At that time, Confucius was known as the seventy-two sages, but there were definitely not many people who could go to the Huoyun Cave with him, and this Mr. Ziyu did not rely on the shadow of Confucius Sheng, he was able to fly to the Huoyun Cave completely based on his own knowledge and cultivation.
Mr. Ziyu has always been the most humble, and his fellow brother Zigong once commented: "Full but not profitable, real and virtual, if it is too late, it is difficult for the first king; Bo is not learned, its appearance is respectful, and its Dedun; His words are also believed in others; His arrogant adults are also, often to Haohao, is a trip to participate. β
Zigong is one of the "Ten Philosophers" under Confucius, and although Zeng Shen is not among them, his knowledge and status are by no means under the "Ten Philosophers" among Confucianism.
Confucius's grandson Si also studied with Zengzi, and it was all thanks to Zengzi's careful teachings that he could learn and succeed. Later, another Confucian sage Mencius, learned from Zi Si.
Nowadays, the way of Confucianism and Mencius is naturally inseparable from the inheritance and development of Zengzi, and it can also be seen that Zengzi has played a pivotal role in connecting the previous and the next in Confucianism.
Now he is preaching in the world, and even opened the Confucian school to Tianzhu Kingdom. I am afraid that Zengzi's reputation will be even more prosperous in the future.
Li Shimin has never seen this gentleman, but he does not prevent him from guessing the identity of Zengzi, after all, in this world, he can let his royal brother personally send an invitation, and after meeting, he is still such a polite Confucian student, and this is the only one.
When the royal brother mentioned the name of this gentleman that day, Li Shimin had only one thought in his heart. Gotta bring people back from the West!
What do the barbarians in the West know about the way of Confucius and Mencius?
My Shenzhou is Confucian orthodoxy!
The Confucian scholars of the Tang Dynasty are deeply rooted in the hearts of the monarchs, after all, they can kill the enemy on the horse, and they can settle the people when they get off the horse. For Li Shimin, who is a man of great talent, the more the better.
Not much else. Just like Wang Xuance, his skills are stronger than most of the generals in the Tang Dynasty, but he thinks that he is a Confucian, so he is a civil official
Moreover, at the Tang Dynasty meeting, there will be some quarrels from time to time, if the dispute is intense, naturally some people can't help but shoot first, and then there will be a chaotic war.
Even Cheng Yanjin, who calls himself the "Demon King of the Mixed World", may not be able to escape when faced with the beating of a group of civil officials.
Datang's "abundant martial virtues" is not just talking.
Perhaps this has something to do with Gaozu Li Yuan's year name as "Wude", after all, in the early days of Wude, there were more than ten large and small forces in the Central Plains, and in the last years of Wude, the world was initially determined. Li Shimin, the king of Qin who was the Zhongshu Order at the time, "did not emphasize martial virtues", brazenly launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion, killed the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji, and forced Emperor Gaozu to abdicate.
"When I received the invitation from the Holy Buddha, Xiao Ke was really embarrassed for a long time." Zeng Zi smiled at Master Sanzang and said, "After all, when Xiao Ke was thrown down the world by his master, he really had nothing to do except for a book of Analectsβ"
"Thinking about it, Xiao Ke only has a little knowledge in his head, which is commendable," Zeng Zi took out the scrolls on both sides from his arms and sent them to Master Sanzang, "It's not a treasure of heaven and earth, and it's not a divine weapon, but the "University" and "Book of Filial Piety" written by Xiao Ke himself when he came. β
If it was just "University" and "The Book of Filial Piety", it would have been fine, but Zeng Zi later said, "There is my commentary in it." β
Boom ββ!
The scene was almost out of control, and if it weren't for the Confucian scribes who still had their senses, they wouldn't know what to do at this time.
In fact, in the eyes of Master Sanzang, this kind of "study of scriptures" is the real treasure of the human race, and its significance to the human race is absolutely above those natural treasures and divine weapons.
It was when the Qiankun bow and the sky-shaking arrow appeared, it was the eyes of the generals who looked hot, but they knew that this kind of divine soldier was none other than Xue Rengui, the number one master of the Tang Dynasty military, so although their hearts were agitated, they were not too out of shape.
However, these two "University" and "Book of Filial Piety", which were written and annotated by Zeng Zi himself, are completely different, and they will be the wealth of the entire Tang Dynasty literary circle.
Fahai, who knew what the significance of these two classics to the human race, immediately said: "How dare the poor monk take the treasure book privately, these two volumes"
"Holy Buddha!"
But Zeng Zi spoke first and said, "These two volumes were originally left in the temple." β
For Zengzi, his knowledge is actually priceless, but what he originally did was to preach and receive karma, so naturally he would not be stingy with his knowledge to spread in the world. But these two books were handwritten by him and given to Master Sanzang for the establishment of the sect.
What the world wants is the truth in the book, not his worthless pen and ink.
"Amitabha." Fahai clasped his hands together and smiled at Zeng Zi: "Sir, rest assured, these two books, the poor monk must carefully treasure the knowledge in these two books, and the poor monk will never hide it privately." The Tang Dynasty Guozijian, academies, families, and bookstores can all come to transcribe copies to pass on to the world. β
"That's very good."
Zeng Zi also smiled, Master Sanzang really believed in people.
The Confucian scribes present finally calmed down a little bit, calmed down their previous excitement, and only waited for the end of the ceremony to borrow books and copy them, and began to fear each other against their colleagues around them, including some friends over the years.
Although Erlang Zhenjun and Zengzi knew each other, they had not had a deep relationship before. It was also after I came to the Temple of Mercy and Grace today that I had a few in-depth conversations.
When Zengzi stepped down, Erlang Zhenjun also stepped forward to greet him
He had an immature idea to let his son worship under the door of this gentleman, but he felt a little abrupt, and he didn't think about how to speak for a while.
Although his son is definitely not short of people to teach his skills, Yang Jian still inevitably moved this mind after seeing this Confucian master.
It is also the Jade Emperor who has always had the idea of promoting the "integration of the three religions", and Yang Jian, as the god of justice in the heavenly court, naturally has some understanding of this matter.
Not. After the ceremony is over, it is better to send Mr. Ziyu an invitation card for his child's first birthday.
And when they saw Yang Jian on the altar, the gods and immortals suddenly thought that they had to have two ceremonies in a row this month, especially when Yang Jian got married, the gods at that time basically didn't dare to go because of the will of the Jade Emperor
This time Xiao Yang Gongzi's first birthday banquet, you still have to express yourself well?
Yang Jian is atmospheric, but the hearts of the three princesses of the West Sea are not big. In case of blowing two pillow winds, even if Erlang God will not target them for this, some invisible benefits may inadvertently flow away from them. For example, the next time it was their turn to reincarnate in the Nether, it was likely that they would change their names.
