Chapter Thirty-Eight: Friendship with the Evil Monk Hui'an
"Hundred and eight thousand miles? This...... Monk, isn't this a little too far? ”
Hearing what the leper monk said, Li Shimin gasped.
If you really want to go 108,000 miles away to learn the scriptures, not to mention the hardships on the road, you can't reach it in five or eight years just by running such a long distance, let alone going back and forth.
"Amitabha, His Majesty the Tang Emperor, the poor monk has made a grand vow since childhood, to overcome the suffering of the world, to comfort the dead after death, since the West has this wonderful law, the poor monk is willing to follow the work of dogs and horses, obtain the true scriptures, and protect my Tang Dynasty forever."
When Xuanzang said this, Li Zhi, who was standing beside Li Shimin, seemed to feel that there was an energy fluctuation around him, faintly emanating from this Xuanzang monk?
"Okay, if the mage is really willing to work hard and go to the western heavens, I am willing to become brothers with the mage on the spot-"
Well, this episode inevitably appeared, Li Zhi didn't even have a chance to dissuade him, this Xuanzang turned out to be his cheap uncle?
Li Shimin said as soon as he said it, and there were people below to prepare, arranging incense cases, just in front of the Buddha in the "Huasheng Temple", Li Shimin and Chen Xuanzang worshiped as brothers.
Li Shimin is forty-four years old this year, and Chen Xuanzang is only thirty-three, so naturally Li Shimin is the elder brother, and Master Xuanzang is the second brother, and he is the "royal brother and holy monk".
"That monk, your robe and tin staff, please grant me the royal brother, and you two will return to the palace with me and receive seven thousand taels of silver."
Now that they have become brothers, Li Shimin will not be stingy, and directly ask the leper monk for a robe and a tin staff.
"Amitabha, Chen Xuanzang, do you know that there are 108,000 miles to go to the West Heaven, wolves, insects, tigers and leopards everywhere, spirits and monsters everywhere, and if you are not careful, you will have to worry about your life!"
The leper monk did not directly agree to Li Shimin, but continued to say to Master Xuanzang.
"Amitabha, when the poor monk goes, he will sacrifice his life and work hard until the western heavens. If you don't go to the western heavens, you won't be able to follow the scriptures, and you won't dare to return to your country even if you die, and you will fall into hell forever. ”
Master Xuanzang swore again, and Li Zhi obviously felt that the energy wave in Monk Xuanzang's body was getting stronger and stronger.
"Okay, boy, why don't you offer your robe and tin staff?"
The leper monk dodged slightly, and the sturdy monk who followed behind hurriedly stepped forward and handed the robe and tin staff in his hand to Monk Xuanzang, and the two monks turned around and wanted to leave.
"Then monk, why don't you collect money again?"
Seeing that the second monk turned around and wanted to leave, Li Shimin couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Amitabha, the old monk also said that 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 long time."
"Master Xuanzang should be a person who is destined for my Buddha, this brocade robe and nine-ring tin staff should be given to the master to strengthen the west——"
After speaking, I saw that the two monks had not made any efforts, and their bodies had already risen in the air, and their faces had changed.
The first one wears a gold leaf button on his head, a green flower shop, a golden light, and a sharp hanging bead; He wore a blue robe with a light collar, light makeup, a golden dragon, and a flying phoenix.
Holding it in his hand, a gracious sheep fat jade net bottle, with a weeping willow that swept away the residual mist was inserted in the bottle.
He was followed by the one beside him, dressed in green, holding a demon pestle in his hand, and combing his traditional boy's hairstyle, indescribably delicate and handsome.
"Guanyin Bodhisattva? The disciples of the believers pay homage to Guanyin Bodhisattva——"
Headed by Li Shimin, including Xuanzang, Wei Zheng, Qin Qiong, Zhang Ananda and others beside him, as well as the 1,200 monks present, and thousands of onlookers, one is counted as one, all kneeling on the ground, paying homage to Guanyin Bodhisattva in mid-air.
That's Guanyin Bodhisattva?
After living for so many years, except for the worship statues in the temple, have you ever heard of anyone who has actually met them?
Everyone knelt, but Li Zhi was left alone, which seemed particularly abrupt and unconscious.
"Who are you? Why don't you bow down when you see Guanyin Bodhisattva? ——”
Suddenly, the person beside Guanyin Bodhisattva in mid-air shouted, and an infinite pressure pressed on Li Zhi, who was standing on the ground.
The appearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva was originally expected by Li Zhi, but when he really saw it, he was still shocked and stood there in a daze for a while.
In the final analysis, Li Zhi did not have the thoughts of this era, even if he saw the true body of Guanyin Bodhisattva, he did not have the idea of bowing his head and worshipping.
At this moment, a pressure came.
"Hmph-"
Li Zhi hurriedly ran the first layer of the "Cangming Jue", the black and white binary baby in the sea of knowledge turned rapidly, and Li Zhi directly punched into the air "Bear Collapse Mountain"——
There was a "bang", and there was a sound of air exploding overhead.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin—"
At this time, Qin Qiong, who was half-kneeling, reacted first, stood up quickly, and blocked in front of Li Zhi.
Guanyin Bodhisattva is naturally respectable, but if someone wants to be an opponent of Li Zhi in front of Qin Qiong, it is not something that Qin Qiong can bear.
"Uncle Qin, you're not his opponent, let's come—"
Seeing Qin Qiong standing in front of him, Li Zhi's heart swelled with emotion.
Qin Qiong's behavior was completely subconscious, and she didn't think about who the other party was or whether she would be the opponent of the other party, so she stood in front of Li Zhi alone.
Taking this opportunity, Li Zhi once again used the "Delusion-Breaking Golden Pupil" and glanced at the person who was doing it in the air.
It's a pity that under the "broken golden pupils", there is still nothing.
Li Zhi knew in his heart that he was afraid that the other party's realm was ridiculously high, at least more than five realms higher than his own, otherwise, the "Breaking the Golden Pupil" would not fail one after another.
"Hmph, hubris—"
The man in mid-air couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that a move didn't work, but he only released a little coercion, and he couldn't even make a move.
Even so, he couldn't help but glance at Li Zhigao, and waved the demon pestle in his hand to sweep it downward.
didn't dare to use the demon pestle to directly hit people, but relied on the strength driven by the demon pestle to force Qin Qiong and Li Zhi to retreat.
"Uncle Qin, quickly retreat—"
It's a pity that at this time, Qin Qiong has already punched angrily, the fist is the "Qin Family Fist", Qin Qiong is already known as the "Divine Fist Taibao", and now he has just completed the knot, and the power of the "Qin Family Fist" is a hundred times better than in the past.
Li Zhi saw that he couldn't stop it, and he hurriedly punched out his fists, "Tiger Roaring Mountain Forest"-
This type of "tiger play" is even more powerful, and the black and white binary babies in the sea unconsciously hold each other with their hands and open their eyes together.
Qin Qiong and Li Zhi's angry blows collided with the strength of the man's demon pestle in the air almost at the same time.
"Bang-bang-"
There were two more dull sounds, Li Zhi's body shook slightly, but Qin Qiong took more than ten steps back, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Guanyin Bodhisattva, do you still want me to go to the West Heaven to learn scriptures? If you still want to continue learning from the West, please take care of your dogs-"
When Li Zhi saw Qin Qiong being beaten and spit blood, he didn't care so much, and shouted loudly in the air.
"Amitabha, Hui'an, don't stop yet-"
Guanyin Bodhisattva seemed to have just seen Hui'an make a move, and hurriedly reprimanded.
"Who are you, young man? I see you as a 'leaky body', but what you have learned seems to be able to see the demeanor of old friends. ”
Li Zhi saw that Guanyin Bodhisattva had drunk Hui'an, and hurriedly took advantage of this gap to run over and help Qin Qiong up.
"Uncle Qin, for the sake of the pheasant slave, I made you suffer."
Li Zhi said in a low voice, and at the same time, a true aura entered Qin Qiong's body, only to find that Qin Qiong's injuries were far more serious than he imagined.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Qin's life was saved by you, even if it is returned to you, Qin will not hesitate."
Before he finished speaking, the corners of Qin Qiong's mouth were stained with blood.
"Amitabha, good and good, it's all the poor monks' lax discipline that makes the bad guys hurt people, and this cause and effect will be paid back by the poor monks——"
At this time, Li Shiren also stood up from the ground one after another, surrounding Li Zhi and Qin Qiong.
In addition to the 1,200 monks, there are also many people who no longer bow down, and some even curse in their mouths, all of which are to protect Li Zhi and Qin Qiong.
As Li Zhi's father, Li Shimin naturally has his son in his heart, but as the king of a country in the Tang Dynasty, the things he thinks about in an instant are far more complicated than others'.
The performance of everyone on the ground was naturally in the eyes of Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was high above, and she was a little helpless in her heart, but she didn't show it on the surface.
I saw her pull out the willow branch from the mutton fat jade net bottle, and with a slight movement, a drop of pure water dripped down from mid-air, heading straight for Li Zhi and Qin Qiong.
When the two of them were approaching, this drop of pure water split into two, half of which flew towards Qin Qiong and half towards Li Zhi.
The two of them intuitively trembled, and a warm and moist strength slowly nourished every meridian and every trick in the body, as if it was continuous and endless.
Looking at the realm of Li Zhi and Qin Qiong, they have directly reached their respective peaks, Li Zhi has already reached the Great Perfection of the Yuan Infant Period, and Qin Qiong, who has just succeeded in marrying the Dan, has also reached the Great Perfection of the Jindan Period.
"Amitabha, Emperor Tang, poor monk Guan, these two people are related to my Buddhism, one seems to be the prince of Yiguo in the court, and the other doesn't know who it is?"
After Guanyin Bodhisattva gave favors, he silently calculated in his heart.
But he can only count that among the two people who started on the ground, the older one was Qin Qiong, the prince of Yiguo, and the other young man was blank?
This is something that has never happened before, Guanyin Bodhisattva?
Not to mention Buddhism in the West, even if you look at the entire Three Realms, it is also a powerful number, and it is a quasi-saint who beheads a corpse.
Could it be that there is a stronger quasi-saint who has covered up the heavenly opportunity for this son?
After the gods, the flood was broken, and the saints worked together to create the current Three Realms, but the six saints were grounded in the "Zixiao Palace" and were not allowed to enter the Three Realms in their real bodies.
Because, at this time, the Three Realms were no better than the Flood Wilderness, and the strongest could only accommodate the power of the quasi-saint level, so Guanyin Bodhisattva did not consider the saint.
It's a pity that she had already asked before, but Li Zhi was busy checking Qin Qiong's injuries and didn't answer her.
"Guanyin Bodhisattva is above, this is Qin Qiong, Qin Shubao, the Duke of Yiguo, and the other young man is the ninth son of Shimin, whose name is Li Zhi."
At this time, Li Shimin's tone of voice was already very flat, although he did not show anger, but he also completely lost the piety and excitement when he first met Guanyin Bodhisattva.
These changes before and after, Guanyin Bodhisattva naturally saw it in his eyes, and imperceptibly glanced at Hui'an beside him.
"It turned out to be the beloved son of the Tang Emperor, the poor monk felt that this son had a fate with my Buddha, I don't know if the Tang Emperor was willing to let this son worship under the poor monk's door, and he would be able to cultivate a golden body in the future."
Guanyin Bodhisattva failed to see through Li Zhi for a while, and in order not to affect the plan of the journey to the west, he even proposed the idea of accepting Li Zhi as a disciple.
"This ...... Pheasant slave, Guanyin Bodhisattva wants to take you as a disciple, I don't know what my son wants? ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he didn't know how to make a choice for a while, and looked at Li Zhi beside him with some complexity.
At this time, Li Zhi finally woke up from the breakthrough.
The strange thing is that Fang Cai was still in the realm of the Great Perfection of the Yuan Infant Stage, and when the black and white Yuan Infant separated his four hands and existed independently again, his realm actually fell back to the late Yuan Infant Stage?
This change made Li Zhi a little puzzled?
Could it be that after these two primordial infants are separated, they are one realm, and when they are combined, the realms will be superimposed?
didn't have time for him to ponder, so he heard Li Shimin's question.
"Thank you Guanyin Bodhisattva for your love, however, the kid already has a teacher, as the so-called 'one day as a teacher, lifelong as a father', without the master's permission, Li Zhi still doesn't dare to privately vote under others——"
Li Zhi simply didn't want to join Buddhism, so he said nonsense, but he didn't expect to inadvertently poke someone's sore foot.
The so-called, hitting people does not slap their faces, and scolding people does not expose their shortcomings.
Fortunately, this Guanyin Bodhisattva is a profound cultivator after all, and his face is still expressionless, and he even used his eyes to stop Hui'an who wanted to attack again.
In that case, the poor monk did not force it. Chen Xuanzang, since you have decided to go west, please leave as soon as possible, the poor monk waited in the West Tianling Mountain and said goodbye——"
Saying goodbye, the clouds fluttered, and Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Hui'an walker flew to the west, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Amitabha, the poor monk remembers the teachings of Guanyin Bodhisattva——"
Seeing Guanyin Bodhisattva leaving, Master Xuanzang once again bowed down and recited the Buddha's name.
……
"Pheasant slave, in this way, has my Datang offended Buddhism?"
After the incident between Li Zhi and Hui'an, the "land and water conference" originally scheduled for 7749 days came to an end after only seven days.
In the "Jin Palace", Li Shimin, Qin Qiong, Sun Simiao and others were present, Li Shimin raised his concerns, although his heart is towards his son, but after all, he is still the king of a country in the Tang Dynasty.
"Don't worry, father, my son has already said before, no matter what kind of sect, it is necessary to develop a large number of believers, and now the luck of the Three Realms is in my human race."
"Even if the son offends Guanyin Bodhisattva and Buddhism, at most they will target the pheasant slave alone, and they will not deal with my Datang."
Li Zhi naturally understood what his father meant, and first dispelled Datang's concerns.
The scene at the "Water and Land Conference", Li Zhi did not arrive in advance, but it had already happened, and he would not regret it.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, there is a question for the poor road, I don't know if I should ask it?"
Sun Simiao, who was sitting on the side, suddenly spoke.
"What does Sun Zhenren have to say, even if he asks, the pheasant slave knows everything and says everything."
If this kind of thing happens, if you can still sit in this room, then there will be absolutely no outsiders, and Li Zhi will not hide it.
"Listening to what His Royal Highness the King of Jin said, you already have a teacher, I don't know who the master is? If there is a master who comes forward, he may not necessarily be afraid of his Buddhism. ”
In addition to being a miracle doctor, Sun Simiao is also a Taoist priest, so he is naturally a little at odds with Western Buddhism.
There are so many people in the world, if you rob one more believer, there will be one less incense on my side, even if it does not reach the point of a big fight, there are constant open and secret battles at all levels.
In Sun Simiao's view, the thirteen-year-old Li Zhi who can be cultivated to this level is bound to be a great power.
"This, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Sun Zhenren, if I say I'm just casually talking nonsense, do you believe Sun Zhenren?"
Li Zhi was a little helpless, and subconsciously scratched his head with his hands.
Sun Simiao understood this action thoroughly.
"Hey, if that's the case, Poor Dao can only persuade you to ask for more blessings, or ......"
Sun Simiao thought about it for a long time, and said helplessly, but he looked a little like he wanted to say something.
"Sun Zhenren, do you have a solution? If there is a way to solve the crisis of children, I will do whatever it takes. ”
Seeing that Sun Simiao still had unfinished words, Li Shimin hurriedly asked, can his most proud son not care?
Qin Qiong also looked at Sun Simiao, and even Li Zhi himself stared at it with some doubts, this brain circuit is sometimes quite strange Sun Lao Dao.
"Haha, didn't Confucianism say that a big husband can stretch and bend, or put it to death and be born. Since His Royal Highness the King of Jin has no strength to resist Buddhism for the time being, why don't you move closer to Buddhism. ”
"For example, His Royal Highness King Jin can follow Master Xuanzang and travel west together......"
