Time passed in a hurry, and it had been a month since Li Shimin and Kong Xuan met.

During this period, there were many monks in the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

The reason why this is so is because Li Shimin, the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty, announced that he would hold a water and land conference.

One of the purposes is to surpass the lonely souls of the underworld that appeared after fighting against the enemies of the major anti-kings before the unification of the human race.

The second purpose is to discuss whether the Dharma can be propagated in the human race.

Therefore, today's emperor list travels all over the world, gathers officials from all walks of life in Kyushu in the world, and elects senior monks to come to the Tang Kingdom to do a water and land conference.

The high monks in Kyushu can not only be recommended by the officials of Kyushu, but also go to the national capital on their own.

Today, the water and land conference is about to be held, and the senior monks elected from all over the country have arrived in the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and those who have not been recommended have naturally been interviewed after learning the news.

At the scene of the land and water conference at this moment, although the land and water conference was not held, it was crowded.

On the first seat, the Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Shimin came in person.

The reason for this is that in order to prepare for the land and water conference, it is necessary to elect a person with great virtue to be the altar master, set up a dojo, and preside over the assembly, and today is the day of the election of the great virtuous person.

In order to elect the altar owner, the emperor's relatives can see the degree of importance attached to this.

On the first seat, Li Shimin looked at the monks at the scene, and saw the leader of the monks at a glance.

"This monk, but Xuanzang, the son of the bachelor Chen Guangrui?" Li Shimin said.

This person is none other than Tang Sanzang, the reincarnation of the golden cicada in the Western Sect, and he is obviously the leader among the monks.

"The minister is right, I don't dare to worry about the emperor!" Xuanzang said.

He didn't expect that Li Shimin would pay attention to himself and know where he came from.

In Kyushu, his virtue has always been good, and the thousands of Buddhist scriptures are all-encompassing, and the Buddha's name is immortal, and he knows everything.

After entering the capital of the Tang Dynasty, he was naturally elected by all the monks as a great virtuous person, and he was the master of the altar.

"In that case, you can be prepared, do you know how many people resist spreading the Dharma?" Li Shimin said.

Tang Sanzang was elected as a great virtuous person, and he was not surprised.

But there is something else to be done today besides electing the Great Virtuous.

You must know that the promotion of Buddhism is not small in the opposition of the human race and hundreds of officials, and it still needs to be discussed if you want to implement it.

As a great practitioner of great virtue recommended by a high monk, he needs to discuss the Tao in order to prove the benefits of Buddhism.

"The minister is ready, and the minister thinks that the Dharma should be promoted!" Xuanzang said.

Of course, he knew what it meant to be a great virtuous person, but he was ready for it, and he was well versed in the Buddhist scriptures and thought he could deal with the matter of the Tao.

"Let's get started!" Li Shimin announced.

This is the process that must be experienced in the journey to the west, and only in this way can Buddhism be accepted by the human race.

However, he had already planned, and Mahayana Buddhism was the focus of the human race's implementation.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Tang Sanzang had already gone to the altar and waited for this debate.

Among the hundred officials, Taishi Cheng Fu Yi appeared for the first time, and was the first to attack in front of Tang Sanzang.

"The law of Buddhism, without a monarch and a minister, father and son, with three ways and six ways, to be lured to be stupid, to chase past sins, to see the blessings of the future, to recite Sanskrit, in order to escape.

And life and death, life and death, are natural; Punishment Deweifu, the master of the department. Today, I heard that the laymen were pretentious, and they were all clouds by the Buddha.

Since the three emperors and five emperors, the great business and the great Qin, there is no Buddhism, the monarch is loyal and loyal, and the years are long.

Kong Zhongni, a sage of Wendao, once prevented the spread of Western Buddhism to the east, and Western Buddhism is really an offense against the Kyushu human race, which is not credible! Fu Yi said.

As a hundred officials of the human race, he is a man of literature and Taoism.

Naturally, he followed the will of the Wendao sage Kong Zhongni, and was very dissatisfied with the Western teachings of Buddhism.

The fact that Kong Zhongni prevented the spread of Buddhism to the east was widely spread.

The people in Wendao are actually quite dissatisfied with the Buddhism of the Tang Dynasty Emperor.

"Buddhism promotes good and curbs evil, and helps the country, and there is no reason to abandon it.

Buddhas, saints, non-saints cannot, please put severe punishment. Xuanzang replied.

He was already clear about the main points of Fu Yi's debate, and what Fu Yi said was aimed at the teachings of Buddhism, saying that Buddhism ignores the Three Principles and Five Constants and does not abide by the law.

He blamed his life and death on the tribulations of his past life, and wanted to escape punishment.

And the Buddhist disciples in the world all say that everything originates from the Buddha.

and moved out of the fact that the Wendao sage Kong Zhongni had prevented the spread of Buddhism to the east.

The point he chose to fight back was that Buddhism is only for punishing evil and promoting good, and Buddhist disciples are not saints and do not need to be forgiven, and should be punished by the law.

......

The debate continued and finally ended as dusk approached.

In the end, Tang Sanzang lived up to expectations and fought hundreds of officials, proving that Buddhism can be promoted among the human race.

"Xuanzang is really good, he is a virtuous and Zen-minded monk.

The widow gave you the position of the left monk, the right monk, and the great exposition of the world, and ruled the monks of the human race. Li Shimin said.

He was not surprised by Tang Sanzang's victory in the debate.

As the reincarnation of the golden cicada, Tang Sanzang was originally a disciple of a saint, and the Buddhism he learned was personally taught by two saints of the Western religion, which can be regarded as the law of a saint.

Although the Wenchen in the Tang Dynasty is not bad, after all, he is not his second soul Kong Zhongni, how can he be the opponent of Jin Chanzi?

However, today's selection of great virtues is not to let Tang San appear in front of the Tibetans, he has other arrangements.

"Thank you, Emperor!" Xuanzang thanked him.

Just as he was about to leave and prepare for the land and water conference, he felt something strange in his dark and raised his eyes to look at the sky.

At this moment, the Buddha light in the sky is full of light, as if the Western Heaven Elysium appeared, and the endless Buddha shadow in his hand manifested in mid-air.

Holy and vast, the mist is scattered, the auspicious light is thousands of miles, and a figure steps on the auspicious clouds and stands in mid-air.

This person's Buddha light is condensed, and the five-colored divine light is permeated, and it is Kong Xuan, the head of Mahayana Buddhism.

Seeing Kong Xuan, Li Shimin was not the slightest surprised, Kong Xuan's appearance was his real arrangement today.

This is the plan he made after discussing with Kong Xuan, and the reason why Kong Xuan appeared.

On the one hand, the appearance of Confucius in front of the people can increase the goodwill of Mahayana Buddhism among the human race and expand the influence of Mahayana Buddhism.

In addition, Kong Xuan has another layer of identity, that is, the main god in the Terran Holy Court.

Although the people of the human race do not know the identity of the head of Kong Xuan's Mahayana Buddhism, they will definitely have a good impression of the identity of the main god.

It was up to Kong Xuan to tell the story of Journey to the West, so that the human race could accept it.

In addition, on the other hand, Tang Sanzang has not yet been ignited and remembered, and being ignited by Kong Xuan can save Tang Sanzang from the control of Western religions.

"When I heard that the emperor was holding a land and water conference to promote Buddhism, I didn't tell me to go there and ask for forgiveness.

Today, I saw Tang Sanzang preaching the Dharma, and I thought that this Dharma was inappropriate, he would only talk about the Hinayana teachings, but he could talk about the Mahayana Buddhism? Kong Xuan said.

Although he was explaining his appearance on the surface, his actual purpose was Tang Sanzang, in order to better explain Mahayana Buddhism.

"The Buddha is above, and the disciples are disrespectful, and they are offended.

Why do I say that I am talking about Hinayana Buddhism, but I don't know what Mahayana Buddhism is? Xuanzang said.

He read through the texts, but he didn't know the difference between Mahayana and Hinayana Buddhism.

My own comprehension of the Dharma also comes from my own memories and flashes of inspiration.

But just like that, he has already impressed most of the eminent monks of the human race.

Now that the Buddha is there and tells him about the Mahayana and Hinayana Dharma, how can he not be curious?

"Your Hinayana teachings cannot exalt the dead, but only the vulgar and light, and the Hinayana Buddhism has no way to become a Buddha.

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.

What's more, I am Mahayana Buddhism, everyone is a Buddha! Kong Xuan said.

He directly pointed out the difference between Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism, and said the core key of Mahayana Buddhism.

The lethality of the saying that everyone is a Buddha is almost impossible for every Buddhist disciple to resist.

"Mahayana Buddhism, where is it? How do I get it? Xuanzang said.

It's just a sentence that everyone is a Buddha, and he has been convinced.

Now he just wants to know how to obtain the Mahayana Dharma. And where?

"In my dojo, in the Western Land Tianzhu Kingdom Great Leiyin Temple, I can solve the knot of a hundred injustices and eliminate the disaster without reason.

However, some people ask for the true scriptures, and they need to go through a long journey and go through the world, and the true scriptures that they have obtained with great difficulty can be meaningful and can be saved from the calamities of the world. Kong Xuan said.

Hearing Xuanzang's inquiry, he knew that Tang Sanzang had taken the bait.

He directly tried to show up and tell about the journey to the west.

As he spoke, the auspicious clouds gradually moved away, and the golden light around him began to dissipate, and almost instantly Kong Xuan had left.

And in the vanishing mid-air, two slips and several magic weapons appeared, on which were written the words:

On the ceremony, the Tang Dynasty, there is a wonderful text in the West. The journey is 108,000 miles, and the Mahayana is diligent. This scripture returns to the kingdom and can surpass the ghosts. If there are those who are willing to go, seek the golden body of righteousness.

The magic weapon is a strange treasure robe, a nine-ring tin staff, and another simple sticker is written: This is a magic weapon given to the person who learns the scriptures.

"Who is willing to receive my will and go to the West to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures?" Li Shimin said.

This big scene directed by him and Kong Xuan has been completely completed, and now it is only waiting for Tang Sanzang to take the initiative to ask for help.

As for the exotic treasure robe and the nine-ring tin staff left by Kong Xuan, they are not ordinary items.

It was deliberately created by Kong Xuan, the purpose of which was to make Tang Sanzang not bound by Western religion.

Today's Tang Sanzang has not been enlightened by Western teachings, and has not awakened the memories of his past life.

And these two magic weapons can prevent the people of the Western Sect from igniting Tang Sanzang, so that the matter of Journey to the West can be more controlled by him and Kong Xuan.

"The poor monk is not talented, I am willing to follow the work of dogs and horses, seek the true scriptures with Your Majesty, pray to ensure the eternity of our human race, and surpass the soul of the human race!" Xuanzang said.

He chose to go after hearing Kong Xuan's exposition of Mahayana Buddhism.

His heart is already very attached to Mahayana Buddhism, and even if he goes through hardships and dangers, he also asks for the true scriptures!

"If the mage can do this loyalty, he is not afraid of long journeys, trekking mountains and rivers, and I am willing to worship you as a brother." Li Shimin smiled.

The Journey to the West, from this moment, officially kicked off, but for many people, this is not a good start.
