Chapter Fifty-Four: The Tang King's Journey to the Difu Buddhism Cultivates the Heart
As soon as the Dragon King of Jinghe returned to the Dragon Palace, he told him about the bet with Yuan Shoucheng, and his subordinates reported that the Jade Emperor's holy decree had arrived, and ordered the Dragon King to prosper the clouds and rain tomorrow, Puji Chang'an, and the time and rain were exactly the same as Yuan Shoucheng said.
The Dragon King of Jinghe was stunned on the spot.
After a long time, he sighed, prepared to offer fifty taels of gold tomorrow, admitted defeat, and as a result, his military division offered a plan for the Dragon King of Jinghe, as long as it rains a little bit of time and a little less rain, won't you win, anyway, you will operate, except for yourself, who can know.
The Jinghe Dragon King agreed so stupidly, he didn't want to think about it, if people could even calculate the will of the Jade Emperor, could they not calculate the hands and feet he did, this kind of god is not the rhythm that his little dragon king should continue to provoke, and be killed by his pig teammates.
The next day, the Dragon King of Jinghe really changed the time of the rain, and then ran to Yuan Shoucheng, smashed the signboard of others, and showed off his power here.
"Jinghe Dragon King, you have changed the time and points without permission, and disobeyed the holy decree of the Jade Emperor, the Jade Emperor already knows, so you can wait for death with peace of mind. ”
Yuan Shoucheng watched the Jinghe Dragon King smash his stall and said coldly.
The Dragon King of Jinghe was shocked, the other party not only recognized himself, but also saw through his plan, and said that he was about to be executed, so he quickly knelt down and asked for help.
Yuan Shoucheng said that he couldn't do anything, but the king of Tang could save him, and tomorrow it was the person Cao Guan Wei Zheng who beheaded the dragon supervisor, and Wei Zheng was the courtier of the king of Tang in the world.
After hearing this, the Dragon King of Jinghe hurriedly got up to find Li Shimin, the king of Tang, completely unaware that he had been properly calculated and led by others.
After this incident, Yuan Shoucheng disappeared as if the world had disappeared, and never appeared again, only Hui'an Walker returned to Guanyin Bodhisattva's side.
That night, the Dragon King of Jinghe gave a dream to Li Shimin, the king of Tang, and told the king of Tang about the matter, begging Li Shimin to save him, and Li Shimin agreed. On the second day, Li Shimin summoned Wei Zheng to the palace, and the two played chess, not giving Wei Zheng time to go to the Dragon King of the Jing River.
After all, King Tang is a generation of mortals, how can he understand the theory of the out-of-body spirit in the dream, Wei Zhengqi was halfway through, took a nap, and killed the Jinghe Dragon King in his dream, and the Tang King thought that he had saved the life of the Jinghe Dragon King.
It stands to reason that even if he is a dragon king, once he dies, he will be brought into the underworld by the ghost to detain the soul, but after the Jinghe Dragon King was killed, no ghost sent to detain the soul, allowing the soul of the Jinghe Dragon King to wander in Chang'an City with resentment.
At midnight, he turned into a headless and frightened appearance and ran to the palace to scare the Tang King.
If people can't sleep well every day, they are frightened every night, and they don't get sick, and within a few days, Li Shimin, the king of Tang, will be terminally ill, and he will die.
Late one night, Li Shimin felt that his body was light, his soul was out of his body, and he was pulled by an unknown force, and he swayed into the Netherworld.
Along the way, he encountered all kinds of lonely ghosts and wild ghosts, and was almost dragged down the Lechuan River by a group of hungry ghosts, but fortunately, the judge of the Yin Law Division of the underworld arrived in time to save the Tang King, who was already like a frightened bird at this time, and was terrified.
Judge Cui of the Yin Law Division took King Tang all the way to the Netherworld Palace, and judged the soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe in front of King Tang, and let the Dragon King enter the six reincarnations, and he could no longer harm King Tang.
Then Judge Cui checked the book of life and death, and found that the Tang Dynasty should be Zhenguan for thirteen years, that is, he died today, but seeing that there was no one left and right, he secretly added two strokes to the book of life and death, which became thirty-three years of Zhenguan, and Shengsheng added twenty years of life to Li Shimin.
At this time, Li Shimin was about to confess to Judge Cui, Judge Cui waved his hand, took Li Shimin to visit the underworld, visited the eighteen layers of hell by the way, and saw all kinds of horrors.
In the end, he secretly told Li Shimin that because King Tang had killed too many beings during his lifetime and had been contaminated with countless causes and effects, he would return to hell after twenty years, and he would suffer the punishment of eighteen layers of hell.
This frightened Li Shimin, it's good that he hasn't seen it, but after seeing it, he realized the horror of hell, and hurriedly asked Judge Cui for help, how can he avoid the pain of hell.
Cui Juan solemnly said to Li Shimin that only Mahayana Buddhism in this world can transcend the soul of the dead, purify the karma and bad karma of the Tang King, and save the Tang King from the suffering of hell, and even enter the Western Bliss after death, and enjoy the blessings of heaven and man forever.
A proper radish in one hand, a stick in the other!
Tang King Li Shimin has since deeply remembered Mahayana Buddhism, and then was sent back to the yang world by Judge Cui, after Li Shimin left, Guanyin Bodhisattva and Jizo Bodhisattva showed their figures.
"Venerable Guanyin is a good means, and from now on, my Western Buddhism will surely flourish in the eastern soil, and the poor monks admire. Jizo Bodhisattva folded his hands together and opened his mouth in admiration.
Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled but did not speak.
Tang Wang's illness was cured, and he began to eagerly ask the ministers around him and the Taoist monks in Chang'an City about Mahayana Buddhism.
There is no Mahayana, Hinayana is also okay, Tang Wang has always remembered that he has killed the cause and effect of his body, and there are countless dead souls in hell waiting to ask for his life, so he ordered the great virtuous monks across the country to rush to Chang'an immediately, hold a conference for him to overtake the undead, and find a way to surpass those souls who ask for their lives.
A month later, all the eminent monks gathered in Chang'an to hold a water and land puja, and one of the young and promising monks stood out in several Dharma debates and was elected by other monks to preside over the puja.
The land and water conference was held for almost a month, Tang King Li Shimin came here every day to listen to the scriptures, and there were ghosts at night to send dreams, telling Tang Wang that although the unjust soul of the underworld was not reincarnated, but the grievances were greatly reduced, and the stability was much calmer, and the Tang King was very happy after hearing it, and he took a fancy to this young monk who presided over the festival.
After inquiry, I learned that this monk's surname was Chen Xuanzang, who was a monk at a young age, and his grandfather was still the prime minister of the dynasty.
On this day, it was the last day of the water and land conference, Master Xuanzang was still sitting on the lotus platform, reciting Buddhist scriptures, and other monks surrounded him, following the chanting, and the Tang King was still listening to the lecture.
"This is Hinayana Buddhism, which can only cross oneself and not others! The souls of those who cannot transcend hell can only alleviate a little resentment!"
I don't know when, two monks dressed in the Western Regions walked in from outside, looking at this water and land conference, and shouted loudly. When the Tang King heard this, he immediately called the old man and the young man to the front to inquire about Mahayana Buddhism.
"The poor monk came from the Western Regions, and naturally knew the Mahayana Buddhism, which is in the West Heaven Da Lei Yin Temple, where my Buddha came there. ”
After saying that, the true body was revealed, and Guanyin Bodhisattva and Hui'an Walker stood in the clouds, overlooking everyone.
The monks below took the lead in recognizing Guanyin Bodhisattva, and quickly knelt down to salute and chant the Buddha's name, and the Tang King knew that the immortal in front of him was the famous Guanyin of the South China Sea.
"King Tang, you can find a person who is highly respected and sincere to the Buddha, and go to the place where my Buddha comes from the Great Leiyin Temple in the West Heaven to seek the Mahayana scriptures, which can be used to resolve the suffering of all beings in the Nanzhan Continent. I have left two treasures here to protect those who have learned from them. ”
After that, the Bodhisattva left a brocade robe and a nine-ring Zen staff, and took the Hui'an walker to drive the clouds to the west.
The current Tang King is already full of Mahayana Buddhism, and he is even more eager to avoid the suffering of hell after his death and go to the West to continue to enjoy the happiness of heaven and man.
So the king of Tang immediately called Master Xuanzang into the palace, personally handed over the robe and Zen staff left by the Bodhisattva to Xuanzang, recognized Xuanzang as the royal brother, and asked Xuanzang to go to the west to seek the Mahayana scriptures for the Tang king.
