Fahai drove the clouds back to Xiangguo Temple in Chang'an, and found that Li Shimin and Wei Zheng had not left, and they were expecting to be waiting for him.

"National teacher, you can make me wait. Li Shimin stepped forward with a smile.

"The poor monk pays a visit to Your Majesty. "Fahai jaw bowed.

Li Shimin said: "The previous canonization was in a hurry, and I want to hold a grand event for the national teacher three days later, and then gather the monks, officials, soldiers, and people in the whole city, so that they can see the true face of the national teacher, I don't know what the national teacher wants?"

Seeing that King Tang was so gracious, Fahai couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Uh...... Your Majesty, in fact, the poor monk really doesn't deserve the position of national teacher. ”

Wei Zheng, who was beside him, bowed to Fahai and said:

"Master Fahai, why should you be humble? You have the merit of saving the driver, and you are a veritable great monk, if you are not worthy, then who else is worthy of the entire Buddhist sect?"

"What Wei Qing said is very much, you don't have to shirk the position of the national teacher. Li Shimin said decisively.

Fahai pondered for a moment, since the other party was so gracious, he naturally wanted to give the emperor some face, but the cause and effect of the matter were there, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he still felt a little embarrassed.

"That'...... In this case, the position of the national teacher, the poor monk is ashamed. After Fahai finished speaking, he bowed and thanked Li Shimin.

As the old saying goes, if you have a bargain, you don't take advantage of the bastard! Since the emperor is so sincere, it would be too pretentious if he was hypocritical.

Three days later, at noon.

Two streams of people composed of monks and officials, clustered around a gorgeous carriage in the middle, drove slowly southward along Suzaku Street in Chang'an City.

Today, in order to show sincerity, Li Shimin and Fahai shared a car. On both sides of the carriage, the civil and military officials of Chang'an City followed, and it was Prime Minister Wei Zheng who led the official team on the left, while the monk team on the right was led by Master Xuanzang, the new presiding officer of Xiangguo Temple.

Hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an City almost poured out of their nests today, and the roads were full of people on both sides, and the sergeants on both sides worked hard to maintain order under the clamour.

At this moment, suddenly a golden light fell from the sky and landed in front of the convoy, shocking the people of the whole city in an uproar.

Li Shimin lifted the corner of the car curtain and asked around, "What's the noise?"

Prime Minister Wei Zheng hurriedly came to the front of the car, and his tone was excited and even a little panicked.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Guanyin Bodhisattva is here!"

"What?" Li Shimin was shocked, hurriedly got out of the car, and picked up the dragon robe. Fahai didn't react much when he heard this, there was a little thought in his eyes, and he also got out of the car with King Tang.

The people in the city were already kneeling on the ground at this moment, and Li Shimin lined up the crowd and came to Guanyin, and he also fell to the ground with a thud.

"Meet Avalokiteshvara. "

Guanyin stood with a smile, the treasure light behind her head was shining, and she said softly to Li Shimin:

"Your Majesty doesn't need to be polite, please get up. ”

At this time, Fahai also came to Guanyin, with his hands folded, which can be regarded as having passed the Buddhist rituals.

Li Shimin got up when he heard this, his face was still humble. "The unknown Bodhisattva is here, I am terrified, dare to ask the Bodhisattva if he has any wonderful words?"

Guanyin smiled slightly and said, "The poor monk came to the east this time to send a creation. ”

Li Shimin asked, "What kind of creation?"

Guanyin: "I came all the way to the east, and I saw that this land in the south of the Zhanbu Continent is greedy and lustful, killing and plundering, which is really a murderous field of tongue and tongue, and a sea of right and wrong. The poor monk could not bear to lose people's hearts, and the world was declining, in order to ensure that His Majesty's country was eternal and the people's livelihood lived in peace, so he came to pass on a message. ”

Li Shimin was first frightened, then excited, and only listened to him: "I don't hide it, I am also disturbed by this matter, and today's initial decision is the time to rest with the people, if I get the guidance of the Bodhisattva at this time, I will be able to enjoy the blessing of living in peace with hundreds of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty." ”

Seeing Li Shimin's reaction, Guanyin nodded with satisfaction.

"Among my Buddhism, there are the three Tibetan Mahayana scriptures, the "Fa" is a collection, talking about the heavens, the "Treatise" is a collection, talking about the earth, and the scriptures are a collection, and the ghosts are being saved. There are a total of 35 books in Sanzang, and the 15,144 volumes are the scriptures of cultivation and the door of righteousness and goodness. If sentient beings in the East can be taught by this scripture, they can persuade others to do good, and they can also enable the deceased to ascend to heaven. ”

Li Shimin said happily: "If this is the case, then my Tang foundation will never be uprooted, dare to ask the Bodhisattva to give the true scriptures!"

Guanyin smiled and shook his head, and said:

"Your Majesty misunderstood, the true scriptures are not owned by poor monks, the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures are my Buddhist treasures, far away in the West Heaven Da Lei Yin Temple where my Buddha came from. If Your Majesty wants to take it, you must send a monk who has attained the Tao, travel far away to thousands of mountains, cross thousands of rivers, and take it back from your shoulder. ”

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "The road to the west is far away, and there are many dangers along the way, how can it be accomplished by mortal feet?"

Guanyin said: "If this thing is successful, it is really a merit of pouring the sky, and this kind of merit is naturally not something that mortals can do, and it must be done according to the will of heaven." ”

Guanyin said, conjuring up a robe and a tin staff in his hand. She put the two things on the ground, and then said to Li Shimin:

"These two pieces are the brocade bat robe and the nine-ring tin staff, both of which are extraordinary treasures. If there are high monks and good believers present, you can ask them to try one by one, if you meet the person of the mandate of heaven, the two treasures are as light as a feather, let them pick up, if not the people of the mandate of heaven, the two treasures will have 10,000 catties of heavy, so you can't afford to take it. ”

In this way, the king of Tang immediately ordered the monks present to try one by one.

Although the number of monks present today is not as large as in the previous water and land pujas, there are also hundreds of them.

Hundreds of monks stepped forward one by one to take it, but they couldn't pick it up, Guanyin watched the monks take turns to try the treasure to no avail, and the smile on his face remained unchanged at all.

This process lasted for nearly half an hour, and hundreds of monks basically tried it, only Fahai and the new Xiangguo Temple host Xuanzang did not try.

Xuanzang stood up from the group of monks and knelt in front of Guanyin.

"Disciple Xuanzang, I am willing to go to the West Heaven to seek the true scriptures, please have mercy on the Bodhisattva, and bless the disciple to pick up the two treasures to repay the Buddha's grace. ”

Seeing Xuanzang, the smile on Guanyin's face finally fully bloomed, and she nodded and said, "Xuanzang, since you are so sincere, go forward and try it." ”

Xuanzang folded his hands and thanked him, then got up and walked towards the two treasures on the ground.

Fahai has been watching the play from the sidelines, and he hasn't said a word now. In fact, what was happening in front of him seemed to him more like a ridiculous farce.

In order to ensure that the great cause of learning from the scriptures can be fully valued by Li Shimin, the prestige and exposure of those who learn from the scriptures will naturally be as high as possible. This can not only attract enough eyeballs, but also ensure that the scriptures will not be despised by the mainstream society of the Tang Dynasty after they are retrieved.

The popular way to say it is that Zhang San has a good thing that he wants to give to Li Si, but he is afraid that the other party will not take it seriously after giving it to Li Si, so he has to make Li Si suffer a little, so that he can cherish what he gets.

As the reincarnation of the golden cicada, Xuanzang was originally the person selected by the West Heaven to learn the scriptures, but because of himself, a crosser who killed halfway, he robbed Xuanzang of his fame and prestige.

Therefore, the purpose of Guanyin coming here today is actually to enhance Xuanzang's image and status in the hearts of Li Shimin and the people of the Tang Dynasty, so that he can more satisfactorily complete the task of learning scriptures.

Fahai saw all this clearly, and it was because of this that he didn't follow the monks who tried the treasure together.

But just when Xuanzang's hand was about to touch the robe and tin staff on the ground, the text prompted by the system suddenly appeared in front of Fahai's eyes.

The system doesn't send out much, just a short three-line word. But after Fahai read it, his heart set off a lot of waves.

- Main quest activation.

Instead of Xuanzang, he went to the West Heaven to complete the great cause of learning from the scriptures.

Mission Failure - Obliteration!

In this instant, Fahai couldn't count how many thoughts flashed through his mind. When he came back to his senses and saw that Xuanzang's hand was about to touch the robe and tin staff, a thunderbolt flashed in his mind!

"Wait!"
