Chapter 424: It's good to learn from the scriptures

As a soldier all his life, I don't know how many life and death edges I have experienced, and I killed my brother at the age of twenty-eight.

If someone had said this to him before, Li Shimin would have cut off the head of this kind of demon! But since the return of the underworld, Li Shimin's mentality has changed.

Thinking more about ghosts and gods, I will also think about what I will do after 20 years?

Is there a way to prolong life? Or can you still be in power after death?

Ghost Tang!

This seemingly absurd but absurd idea is like a sharp arrow that pierced into Li Shimin's heart.

If there is no ambition, no desire for imperial power? Does he need to kill his brother and put his father under house arrest?

He kind of understands the idea of the first emperor, he must be an emperor in life and an emperor in death!

Could it be true that after his death, he was tried by Cui Yu and convicted?

When the time comes, he will kill his brother and enter the eighteenth layer of hell, then won't he be a pig and sheep to be slaughtered?

Thinking of this, hearing Wei Chi Jingde's words, Li Shimin patted Wei Chi Jingde's hand and said with a smile:

"Jingde, you and I have been kings and ministers for many years! A few days ago, thanks to you and Uncle Qin guarding my door, I was able to sleep well! How excited is the nonsense of an outsider! ”

"This monk has a strange mind, it is difficult to guess, I am afraid that there will be an accident in the future!" Wei Chi Jingde said.

"Respect! You helped me pacify Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, Liu Heimin, Xu Yuanlang, etc. At the time of Xuanwu Gate, Jingde you shot Li Yuanji to death and assisted me in killing the crown prince Li Jiancheng. The establishment of this Datang has your share of credit! Li Shimin said sharply.

"The ministers don't dare to take credit, they are all saints and wise!" Wei Chi Jingde hurriedly said.

"It's just that you, Yizhen, and I are all mortals, and we can't escape death! I wonder if you will still be my courtier after you die? Li Shimin asked softly, Wei Chi Jingde and Cheng Biting Jin.

"Saint! Jing Desheng is a saint's person, and death is a saint's ghost! Where the saint soldier is at the peak, Jingde is set as the vanguard! Wei Chi Jingde hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

"I am also willing to be a guard to shield the saint from the rain of arrows! Overcoming obstacles for saints! Cheng Yanjin is also loyal to him.

Right now, I can only show my loyalty!

"Good, good! He is my brother! Li Shimin saw that his generals would follow him even if he died, which made him burst into tears.

But your brother is not easy to be! The two secretly complained in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it.

The monarch and the minister said a lot more, and Li Shimin said that he was tired, so let the two generals go back and rest early.

After leaving Li Shimin's bedroom, Yu Chi Jingde and Cheng Yanjin recalled what happened tonight, and only felt that there were people who were terrible!

"That bald donkey......" Cheng Yanjin said.

"Be careful!" Wei Chi Jingde interrupted him and said, "I can't say, I will be a national teacher in the future!" ”

"He's not a good thing!" Cheng Yanjin said.

"I'm not blind! Datang has had a lot of events since then! ”

Since the two of them left, Li Shimin slept in the dormitory, thinking about how many of his ministers were willing to follow him, and thinking about how chic he was to be a ghost emperor, and fell asleep unconsciously.

For two days in a row, there were no resentful ghosts to disturb his sleep, and on the third day, he suddenly saw a dream of someone knocking on the door.

"On the orders of the Bodhisattva, I invite the Tang Emperor to visit the Pure Land of Posa! Please open the door to Emperor Tang. ”

"What?" Hearing the Bodhisattva's invitation, Li Shimin hurriedly got out of bed and opened the door, and saw a boy wearing a blue lotus robe outside the door, waiting for him.

It was the boy next to Guanyin Bodhisattva that day, Muzha.

"......" Li Shimin didn't know if this boy was real or fake.

"Emperor Tang don't be afraid, come with me!" Mu Zha pointed with his hand, and a white cloud rose from under Li Shimin's feet, dragging Li Shimin into the sky.

Li Shimin was a little frightened at first, but then he gradually got used to it, he saw the 108 square of Chang'an City, and saw the palace and Chang'an at his feet, which made him feel proud. Then he saw the holy light behind his head, and the peaceful Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at him with a smile.

"There was a misunderstanding the day before yesterday, but on a good day today, I will take Emperor Tang to visit my Buddha Pure Land!"

"Meet the Bodhisattva!" Li Shimin hurriedly knelt down and said, where did he not know, this is the real Bodhisattva!

"Emperor Tang, come with me!" As he spoke, Guanyin Bodhisattva's jade hand was raised slightly, and he flew towards the Pure Land with auspicious clouds. But in a moment's effort, Li Shimin saw a place in the distance, the sky was full of mist, and the rainbow light embraced the world.

It's the Pure Land!

"The sentient beings of the world are content with the ten evils, and they can endure all kinds of sufferings and refuse to leave, and they are the places where the three evils and the five pleasures are mixed." Guanyin says:

"So my Buddha pressed his toes to the ground, and suddenly the three thousand worlds were extremely solemn and pure, showing immeasurable merits."

"This is the Pure Land, a place of eternal purity!"

Li Shimin understood, the Bodhisattva said that the world of Suva he was in was a big dung pit, and only the place where my Buddha was located was a pure place.

He walked with the Bodhisattva on the Pure Land, and saw that the heavens and people were carefree, the mist was ethereal, and the cold and heat did not invade and did not remember the year.

I saw the monks listening to the Buddha's lectures, the sky was falling, the earth was surging with golden lotus, Xi Jing returned to the truth, and Zen meditation was correct.

When he is hungry, he has his own ape to offer fruits, and the deer is a flower. When he is thirsty, he has his own Qingluan dance, Caifeng Ming, and take him to Lingquan.

The vulture peak gathers the glow of color, and the Elysium gathers auspicious clouds. The golden dragon lies steadily, and the jade tiger is safe. The black rabbit comes and goes, and the turtle and snake hover. Danfeng Qingluan is refreshing, and the white deer of the ape is Yiyi. What a sight of bliss!

Li Shimin who watched it was happy in his heart! This is the place to be!

"The time has come, it's time for the Emperor of the People to go back!" Guanyin saw Li Shimin's eyes full of joy and said to him.

"Bodhisattva! Bodhisattva! Li Shimin was full of joy at this time, and when he heard that he was going back, he quickly knelt down on the ground and said: "I am willing to take refuge in my Buddha and come to the Pure Land of my mother-in-law!" ”

"Emperor Tang doesn't have to be like this!" Guanyin Bodhisattva helped Li Shimin up, smiled slightly and said: "My Buddha has the scriptures, Mahayana Buddhism, and the three Tibets!" The Tang Emperor can send people to the Daxi Tianzhu National Lei Yin Temple to meet my Buddha Rulai, and seek the true scriptures with sincerity! ”

"Let all sentient beings in the Tang Dynasty solve the knot of injustice, eliminate the disaster without vain, get rid of the suffering, and live without damage!"

"At that time, this Pure Land had its own land of the Tang Emperor!"

"Good, good! Everything is as the Bodhisattva said," Li Shimin agreed happily, and then followed Muzha back to the Tang Palace.

When he returned to the Chang'an Palace, Li Shimin heard the rooster crowing, and then when he opened his eyes, he found that he was still lying in the palace bedroom.

There is also a clipping next to him, with a few recitations on it: "On the ceremony of the Tang Dynasty, there are wonderful texts 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. ”

Looking at this clipping, I thought back to the various scenes in the Pure Land I saw, and then thought of the various scenes in the Netherworld.

To be a celestial in the Buddha realm, or to be a ghost emperor?

Is this still a choice?

He's going to send someone to learn from it!

He wants to be a celestial!

"Someone, Master Xuanzang!"
