Chapter Thirty-Seven: There Are Wonderful Texts in the West

"Pheasant slave, I set up Chengqian as the crown prince, that is to follow the training, 'there is a grandson, there is no grandson'. Cheng Qian is the eldest son, and it is only natural to make him the crown prince. ”

Li Shimin drank the "ginseng wine" in the cup again, and his eyes glanced at Li Zhi again.

"Father, you are only in the middle of the innate realm now, and if you drink too much of this medicinal wine, you can't completely absorb the energy in it, but it will be harmful and useless."

It's not that Li Zhi is stingy, can he still hide it for his father?

What's more, although Sun Simiao's "ginseng wine" is rare, it is no longer of much help to Li Zhi in today's realm, but it is exactly what Li Shimin uses.

"Innate realm? Hahaha - Pheasant slave, do you think that with the talent and perseverance of being a father, you will really be inferior to Li Jing and the others in terms of cultivation? ”

Hearing Li Zhi say that he was just in the "innate realm", Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh a little sadly, leaned out and directly snatched the wine gourd from Li Zhi's hand.

"Pheasant slave, before you sit in that position, you think about it every day, do you know how much it costs to sit in that position?"

Unable to care about Li Zhi's dissuasion, Li Shimin poured himself a drink, and while drinking, he quickly operated his own internal force, trying to dissolve and absorb the medicinal power in the "ginseng wine" as soon as possible.

"Father, since you have decided on that position for the eldest brother to sit, the pheasant slave will never fight or rob, the matter of Xuanwu Gate, my Datang can no longer be——"

Li Zhi mentioned "Xuanwu Gate" for the first time in front of Li Shimin, and it was also the first time in the past 15 years that anyone dared to mention the three taboo words "Xuanwu Gate" in front of Li Shimin.

"Hahaha, good, good, in the end, it is a pheasant slave, my good son, not comparable to other ordinary people, I'm afraid that your heart is not a small Tang Dynasty throne can be satisfied, right?"

"However, my father still wants to tell you that once you become an emperor, you must cultivate the 'Emperor Technique', and the realm of 'Martial Arts and Gods' is the end of the 'Emperor Technique', and it is difficult to advance an inch in this life."

Li Shimin no longer used the cup, but drank it directly into the mouth of the wine gourd.

Wine is not intoxicating, everyone is drunk, not to mention, this wine can really be intoxicating!

"Emperor's Formula"?

Li Zhi, who has been a person in two lifetimes, this is the first time he has heard of this kind of exercise, maybe this should only be the opportunity for those who sit in that position to have the opportunity to practice.

However, why is it that those who have practiced the "Emperor Technique" can only reach the limit of "Martial Arts and Spirits"?

And such a "chicken rib" like "emperor trick", why do you have to let the emperor of the world cultivate?

Li Zhi was full of questions, but unfortunately, no one could answer him.

Li Shimin was already drunk in front of Li Zhi.

"Hey, what a good 'ginseng wine', it's a pity-"

Li Zhi shook the wine gourd, which was already empty.

......

"Sun Zhenren, how is Father and Emperor?"

Li Zhi gently picked up the drunk Li Shimin and placed it in the courtyard selected by Li Shimin, although Li Zhi was also proficient in medical skills, he still called Sun Simiao and wanted to ask Sun Laodao for verification.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, please rest assured, Your Majesty is no longer in serious trouble, but it's a pity that those 'ginseng wine'-"

Sun Simiao really felt a little painful, the "ginseng wine" was originally used to help with cultivation, and back then, he himself only drank one or two sips a day.

Li Shimin is good, just a congenital mid-stage, he dared to drink half a catty at once.

Fortunately, with Sun Simiao, he controlled the unscrupulous internal force in Li Shimin's body in time, and sent those energies that Li Shimin could not absorb for the time being within his dantian.

"Those energies are temporarily sealed in His Majesty's dantian, if there is a chance in the future, let him refine it slowly."

……

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day it was dawn.

Li Shimin slept beautifully, and after waking up, he felt refreshed, and the air in the "Jin Wangfu" was good.

Even if Li Shimin has not yet reached the realm of "martial arts" and cannot take the initiative to absorb aura, under its nourishment, he will benefit a lot.

"Pheasant slave, you don't need to go to court today, after breakfast in a while, you can accompany me to the Huasheng Temple to have a look?"

"It's been the seventh day of the land and water conference, and it's always been Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng who have been there to support them, and it's a bit rude for me not to show up."

While eating breakfast, Li Shimin asked Li Zhi.

Sure enough, the time to come is still coming after all, and this is the seventh day of the land and water conference?

Li Zhi's heart was faintly expectant.

He didn't know if another Li Zhi had also gone to the Incarnation Temple in the time and space where he didn't have himself, but since he had come to the Journey to the West, how could he be willing to be a boring bystander?

After breakfast, Qin Huaiyu stayed in the "Jin Wangfu" to continue teaching the little brother the "Five Fowl Opera", while Sun Simiao was serving his piece of medicine field.

Li Shimin, Qin Qiong and Li Zhi were all dressed in regular clothes, so they brought an entourage of Zhang Ananda, the chief administrator of the Great Interior, and the four of them rode to Huasheng Temple.

Huasheng Temple, at the southern end of Chang'an City, behind the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, belongs to the "Jinchangfang" and is under the management of Wannian County.

Further south, you will arrive at "Qixiamen", but it is not far from "Furong Garden".

The temple located in Chang'an City, the area itself is not too large, in order to convene the water and land conference, but also deliberately requisitioned the largest square in the "Jinchangfang" as the place of the conference.

The officials of Wannian County were sent out early to maintain the law and order of the "Water and Land Conference".

After Qin Qiong was ordered to take over the defense of Chang'an City, his title also changed to "General Long Wuwei", commanding 30,000 Long Wu troops to guard Chang'an.

However, in addition to guarding the various gates of Chang'an, between the various squares in Chang'an City, it is naturally dominated by "Wuhou", and Qin Qiong's Longwu Army is hidden in the shadows.

On the seventh day of the "Water and Land Conference", there were still many people who came to watch, and there were even many traders inside and outside Chang'an City, who started temporary small business in the "Jinchangfang".

When Li Shimin and the four of them arrived, it was already past the middle of the day, and in the bright spring season, there was no shortage of young girls in the crowd.

Looking ahead, rows of old, middle, and young monks sit neatly and neatly, and it is said that the number of monks participating in this "water and land conference" has reached 1,200, and the lineup is so spectacular.

On the high platform, there is a solemn monk at this time, where he preaches the scriptures.

The 1,200 monks who listened to the lecture held their breath one by one, for fear of missing the subtleties.

"Your Majesty, the person who preaches the scriptures on the high platform is the Master Xuanzang, the subtle words and righteousness of Buddhism are vividly spoken by Master Xuanzang, I heard that after the daily preaching, everyone is reluctant to leave for a long time......"

Ananda, who was following on the side, whispered in Li Shimin's ear.

Thirteen-year-old Li Zhi, who has cultivated to be superior to others, has not grown enough in stature, standing next to the other three, as if he is a half-old child.

The dense crowd in front of us is still far away.

Of course, if these few people squeezed to the front by force, it would be effortless, but Li Shimin was unwilling to alarm the people, so he could only move forward slowly step by step.

When he arrived at a suitable position, Li Zhi picked up the "Broken Golden Pupil" and looked at the stage, and was immediately happy.

This world is really small, maybe there is really a destiny in the dark, the person who preaches the scriptures on the stage, Master Xuanzang in Zhang Ananda's mouth, Li Zhi has really seen it.

He is none other than Li Zhi, who passed by the "Snow Ying Palace" in Huashan when he visited Henan Road last year, and played against the Taoist chief there.

I saw that Xuanzang's mouth opened and closed, and there were wonderful scriptures spoken eloquently, and the monks listened to it as if they were fascinated.

Although Li Zhi can hear every word clearly, he can't feel the charm at all, what is the use of this Buddhist scripture?

At this moment, in the suddenly crowded crowd, someone sang loudly.

"Sell a robe and a tin rod, a robe of five thousand taels, a tin staff of two thousand taels, those who can know this treasure will not take a penny, and those who do not know this treasure will not sell it for a large amount of money——"

This shout caused a commotion in the crowd, and with this commotion, two monks squeezed through the crowd until they came to the front of the onlookers.

"Who is making a noise and retreating...... Back off—"

This commotion of the people naturally disturbed the officials of Wannian County who maintained order.

The person who is here today to preside over the overall situation is Lord Wei Zheng, who is a scholar of Confucianism, he did not want to come here, but it is a pity that his duty and order are difficult to disobey.

"Do not dismayed the people, but go, and bring here the man who sells robes."

Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling took turns guarding here for a day, and both of them knew the reason for the "Water and Land Conference", so they naturally did their best.

It's just that he sits here all day, and he has nothing to do, and when he heard someone selling robes, it seemed that the price was ridiculously high, so he aroused Wei Zheng's interest.

After a short time, the official brought the person who sold the robe to Wei Zheng.

I saw these two people, both dressed as monks, the first one was slender and long, with white eyebrows, three locks of silver hair, wearing a broken hat, barefoot and bald, but he was a leper monk.

The one who followed behind him was younger, but he looked like he was thirty or forty years old, tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, holding a robe in one hand and a tin staff in the other.

"It's just the two of you who are selling robes and tin staffs?"

Wei Zheng has read countless people, so naturally he will not have any bad feelings about the two monks because of their different appearances.

"Yes, it is the old monk who is selling robes and tin staffs."

This leper monk looks sloppy, but there is an inexplicable confidence all over his body?

"I don't know how much the robe and tin staff are sold for?"

In fact, Wei Zheng had heard their offer a long time ago, but he thought it was a little incredible, so he asked again in person.

"Five thousand taels for a robe, two thousand taels for a tin staff—"

This time, Wei Zheng heard it completely clearly, this leper monk really made such an outrageous offer.

"I don't know what is so wonderful about your robe, great monk, why do you dare to sell it at such a high price?"

Wei Zheng was not annoyed, let alone let the two monks expel him, but asked with an unchanged face.

"This robe, the dragon is draped in a wisp, so as not to be devoured by the roc; The crane hangs a trace, and it has to be extraordinary. But where you sit, there is a pilgrimage of all gods; Whenever you move, there are seven Buddhas with you. ”

"This robe is the ice silkworm to make and draw the silk, the skillful craftsman toss for the thread, the fairy E weaves, the goddess is machined, the square clusters are embroidered and sewn, and the pieces are piled up with brocade."

"This robe, with a virtuous monk draped on the body, does not sink into hell, does not suffer from vicious suffering, and does not encounter the disaster of tigers and wolves."

......

"Hahaha, if it's really as the great monk said, then, I bought your robe and tin staff—"

At this time, Li Shimin and the four of them also squeezed over, and he fell in love with the robe and tin staff in the hands of the sturdy monk at a glance.

Li Shimin asked for it, and even shouted "I", Wei Zheng naturally came over and bowed and took Li Shimin and others into the improvised pergola.

Qin Qiong and Zhang Ananda followed closely behind, and when they saw each other's robes and tin staffs, they also nodded secretly.

Although I don't know if this thing will really be as magical as the leper monk said, I can already conclude that this is a treasure just by looking at its surface.

Li Zhi didn't look at the robe and tin staff, and followed behind Li Shimin step by step, but his two eyes stared at the leper monk without blinking.

Even used his "Broken Golden Pupil", but he still couldn't see any flaws.

This is an ordinary leper monk, at best, he is only a skill in the early stage of "dark energy", such a big Tang Dynasty does not talk about the amount of vehicles, at least there are a lot of people.

When the leper monk heard that someone called himself "I", and saw that everyone saluted him, he naturally knew who had arrived.

"It turned out that His Majesty the Tang Emperor had arrived, and the people outside the party were polite—"

The leper monk made an inquiry, stood with one palm on his chest, lowered his head slightly, and recited a sentence in his mouth: Amitabha.

seemed to feel that someone was looking at him, and his eyes raised slightly, and he saw Li Zhi behind Li Shimin's side.

"Huh? ——”

The leper monk was slightly stunned.

"Great monk, since you have this treasure and quoted the price, I have also fallen in love with it, so I will buy it all."

"The 'Water and Land Conference' is being held here, Master Chen Xuanzang is a Taoist monk, and this time he has made a contribution to presiding over the 'Water and Land Conference', so I will give these two things to Master Xuanzang."

"It's just that I came out of the palace in a hurry this time, and I didn't carry so much money with me, and the great monk can go back to the palace with me to collect it."

At this time, Master Xuanzang on the high platform has been preaching for more than two hours in a row, reciting for a while "The Sutra of Life and Death", talking about "Anbang Tianbao Seal" for a while, and preaching for a while "Persuading the Cultivation of Gong Scrolls".

"Xuancheng, you asked someone to call Master Xuanzang over to see if he is proud of these two things?"

Li Shimin is really modest, if he wants to give Chen Xuanzang something, he has to ask the other party if he likes it first?

It seems that Buddhism already occupies a certain place in Li Shimin's heart?

The two monks who sold robes and tin rods stood motionless on the side, looking at the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty.

Especially on Li Zhi and Qin Qiong's faces, they stayed for the longest time, and the eyebrows of the leper monk were even more wrinkled.

"Amitabha, poor monk Chen Xuanzang see His Majesty the Tang Emperor-"

The official had already made a brief introduction in the middle of the road, so although Li Shimin was wearing regular clothes, Master Xuanzang still judged it at a glance.

"Then monk, you can only talk about Hinayana teachings, but can you talk about Mahayana?"

Before Li Shimin could reply, the leper monk who had been observing for a long time asked coldly.

"Master, my Eastern monks all talk about the Hinayana teachings, but I don't know how the Mahayana teachings are?"

Chen Xuanzang suddenly heard the "Mahayana teachings", and his heart was happy, but he did not show it on the surface, but gave a salute first, and then opened his mouth to ask the leper monk for advice.

Li Shimin did not blame the leper monk for stealing the words, but happily looked at the two monks in front of him and asked right.

"Your Hinayana teachings cannot exalt the dead, but only the vulgar and light; I have the Mahayana Buddhism Sanzang, which can transcend the deceased and ascend to heaven, overcome the suffering of others, cultivate immeasurable longevity, and be able to do nothing and come and go. ”

The leper monk finished speaking, and bowed slightly to the position in the west.

"Master, I don't know Mahayana Buddhism, where is it now?"

Hearing that Mahayana Buddhism can have such clever means, how can Chen Xuanzang, who has been worshipping the Buddha since birth, withstand such temptation?

"Amitabha, the old monk naturally knows where the Mahayana Buddhism is, but the road is far away, difficult and dangerous, I'm afraid it is not something that ordinary people can reach——"

The leper monk laughed loudly, glanced at Chen Xuanzang, and then looked at the Tang Dynasty monarchs.

"Since the disciple already knows that there is Mahayana Buddhism in the world, even if it is difficult to get it back, please ask the master to guide the disciple!"

Chen Xuanzang clasped his palms together, becoming more and more pious and respectful.

"Do you really want to pick it up?"

"Naturally—"

"Okay, Mahayana Buddhism, in the West, where my Buddha came from, 108,000 miles away......"
