Chapter 76: The position of the national teacher and the honor of the holy monk
Chang'an City, Imperial Palace.
Li Shimin sat quietly on his throne, originally, the locust plague was finally solved, which was indeed a great joy, but Li Shimin was not happy, and his mind always remembered the scene when Xuanzang left with Gao Yang in his arms.
"Alas......", after a long time, Li Shimin sighed in his heart and shook his head secretly.
For Datang, he may be a qualified emperor, but for Gao Yang, he is not a qualified father, right?
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Over there in the Great Buddha Temple, the Buddha has appeared!", just when Li Shimin was staying alone, secretly feeling guilty in his heart, suddenly a eunuch hurriedly ran in and shouted at Li Shimin.
The immortal Buddha was originally mysterious and revered, such as the Buddha and the Jade Emperor, etc., are even higher, and in ordinary times, even if a god comes, it is enough to cause a sensation, let alone the Buddha.
Hearing this, Li Shimin got up and walked out of the hall.
Sure enough, even in the Imperial Palace, even if the sky is blue and white now, you can see the Buddha's light falling from the western sky, reflected in the Big Buddha Temple, the fairy sound is faint, and the vision of the sky is falling, giving people a solemn and peaceful feeling.
Looking at the vision on the side of the Big Buddha Temple, Li Shimin's face also showed a look of shock, and immediately, people hurried to the Big Buddha Temple to inquire about the situation.
After receiving the order of the Tang Emperor, naturally some eunuchs hurried to the side of the Big Buddha Temple.
"Is it because of the river?", looking at the scene of the Big Buddha Temple, Li Shimin suddenly remembered the figure of the river flowing away with Gao Yang before, which seemed to be the direction of the Big Buddha Temple?
can cause such a vision, just like the vision he lit twelve incense scars at the beginning, where is this river sacred!?
Regarding Gao Yang's life and death, Li Shimin's heart originally had no hope, not only were the mortal means useless, but he even prayed to the heavenly immortals as the Tang Emperor, but there was no response.
But now, seeing this scene, Li Shimin's heart has some expectations and some apprehensions.
Soon, the vision of heaven and earth disappeared, and after waiting for a while, the person who had gone to inquire came back, rushed over, and knelt in front of Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, Master Xuanzang kowtowed in front of the Buddha and asked for the manifestation of the Buddha, at the request of Master Xuanzang, he had taken Princess Gaoyang away, saying that he wanted the princess to follow Guanyin Bodhisattva to practice, and ...... in addition", kneeling in front of Li Shimin, the eunuch was slightly stunned.
"What else?", seeing that this eunuch said this, he was actually hesitant, Li Shimin shouted in a deep voice.
Hearing Li Shimin's displeasure, the eunuch was startled, hurriedly kowtowed, and said: "In addition, as the Buddha himself said, Master Xuanzang and Princess Gaoyang can meet again in the future."
"......", Li Shimin's expression moved, of course he could understand what this sentence meant.
Gao Yang was personally rescued by the Buddha, which was naturally a great joy, and she was able to follow Guanyin Bodhisattva to practice together, although she was reluctant, but Li Shimin's heart was still happy for her.
But the Buddha himself said that Master Xuanzang would have a chance to meet Gao Yang in the future?
It's just that ordinary people say this, but if the Buddha himself speaks, the weight of this sentence is different.
What's more, Master Xuanzang is also the first monk to light twelve incense scars throughout the ages.
"Summoning the royal brother into the palace, crowning the Tang Dynasty Holy Monk, the position of the national teacher, and announcing it to the world!", after a moment of silence, Li Shimin spoke.
The title of the holy monk, the status of the revered, the title of the holy monk of Longhai, that is the spontaneous shouting of the people of the Tang Dynasty, as the host of the Great Buddha Temple, and the first monk of the Tang Dynasty, the title of the holy monk of Longhai is well deserved.
However, no matter how well-deserved it is, this has not been officially canonized by Li Shimin, the Tang Emperor, and it is not a status in the real official sense.
Today, Li Shimin decided to accept Jiangliu as the royal brother on the basis of officially canonizing him as a holy monk of the Tang Dynasty and the position of a national teacher, the significance of which is self-evident.
"Obey the order! It's just that after your majesty, the holy monk prayed to the Buddha to save the princess, and he fell asleep tiredly, and he didn't know how long he would sleep", although Li Shimin's words were shocking, the eunuch did not have any objections, nodded hurriedly, and reminded again.
"Then you go and inform the Big Buddha Temple first, and when the holy monk wakes up, let him come to the palace to confer the seal", after thinking about it, Li Shimin said.
"Understood", the little eunuch's face could not hide his surprise.
This is really a great honor, this is the first time that His Majesty wants to reward someone, but he has to wait for the other party to wake up.
......
On the other side, in the Great Buddha Temple, Jiang Liu, who had slept for a day and a night, finally slept full, and his spirit became much fuller, and he also had a clear goal for the westward journey.
Fighting monsters and leveling up, the amount of experience required is more and more, and which of the Heavenly Gods and Buddhas has not cultivated for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years?
Even if you have a game system plug-in, it's hard to get to the top.
However, no matter how difficult it is, in order to save oneself, one still has to work hard to cultivate, and there must not be the slightest slackness.
After paying attention, Jiang Liu opened the package space in front of him and put on the equipment one by one.
Ming Wang crown, golden cicada Buddha clothes, red sandalwood Buddha beads......
Yes, the Golden Cicada Buddha Clothes is a level 15 equipment that can only be worn, and he and Gao Yang lived in seclusion in a small mountain village for about two months before, and occasionally practiced with the exercises of Tianlong Zen Yin, and the level of Jiang Liu has already been raised to level 15.
"The westward journey hasn't officially started yet, while there is still a little time, I should go to the Demon Suppression Hall to improve my strength!"
The desire for strength improvement is unprecedentedly strong, and after Jiang Liu put on the equipment, he is ready to set off to fight monsters in the Demon Suppression Palace.
It's just that the door of the meditation room has just been opened, and there are already disciples of the Great Buddha Temple waiting at the door.
"Master Xuanzang, the Tang Emperor has a decree, so that after you wake up, go to the palace to accept the canonization of the position of national teacher, the respect of the holy monk", the adoring eyes stared at the river, and the monk spoke.
Hearing this, Jiang Liu pondered for a moment, although the so-called position of the national teacher, the Venerable Monk himself does not care, and the sum may not be as important as 100 experience points to himself, but Tang Emperor Li Shimin's face still has to be given.
After thinking about it, Jiang Liu nodded and walked directly to the outside of the Big Buddha Temple.
"Master Xuanzang, wait, the host of Longhai has instructed, if you want to go out, take his Buddha chariot ......", watching the river flow walk directly, the monk said urgently.
"No need, I'll go and come back quickly", but, for these words, Jiang Liutou replied without replying.
Yes, from now on, every minute and every second of my life is incomparably precious, how can I have time to waste it?
Wearing a golden cicada Buddha robe, wearing a Ming crown, because the twelve ring scars on his head were blocked, he walked quickly, but did not attract too many people's attention, and walked towards the palace quickly.
It's just that halfway down the road, suddenly, Jiang Liu's footsteps paused slightly.
In Chang'an City, not far away, there is a stall, which is a fortune-telling stall, and an old Taoist sits quietly, looking at his appearance, he is vaguely similar to Yuan Tiangang by seven or eight points.
"Could it be that he is ......", looking at the appearance of this Taoist, Jiang Liu's heart moved.
At this moment, the previously clear sky became dark, as if it was about to rain at any moment.
It didn't take long for a man about forty years old, with an extraordinary bearing, to walk directly into this fortune-telling stall.
