Chapter 300: Land and Water Conference
Zhenguan thirteen years, the age of his own si, the third day of the first month of September, the good day. Master Chen Xuanzang expounded on the great master, gathered 1,200 monks, all of whom performed the wonderful scriptures in the Huasheng Temple of Chang'an City. The emperor has already finished the dynasty, handsome civil and military officials, take the phoenix chariot, leave the Jinluan Treasure Palace, and go to the temple to make incense. (Excerpt from the original text of "Journey to the West")
Hiding in the sky above Chang'an City in Nanzhan Buzhou, Bai Yi quietly watched the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty preparing for the waterway conference. Those busy figures made Bai Yi a little nostalgic, since he had mana, these trivial things no longer had to be done by Bai Yi himself, sometimes Bai Yi doubted, if he suddenly lost his mana that day, would he be able to live?
As soon as the sun rose, the king of Tang led a group of civil and military officials to the waterway venue, and the Tang monk that Bai Yi cared about was standing beside the king of Tang at the moment. But to be honest, Bai Yi was a little jealous of Tang Seng's appearance, no wonder there were so many female goblins crying and rushing to marry Tang Seng on the way to the west, it turned out that this guy was so handsome. Seeing that King Tang was so kind to Tang Seng that he even had to hold his hand when he walked, Bai Yi suddenly felt that there was a lot of affection between the two. "No wonder Tang Seng is disdainful of so many beautiful female goblins, it turns out that he already has a sweetheart. Bai Yi thought a little evilly.
At this moment, a monk wearing a broken hat, barefoot and bald head suddenly blocked the way of Tang Wang and his party, the monk glanced at Tang Seng, and then nodded with satisfaction, seemingly very satisfied with Tang Seng's appearance. took a shabby robe from the disciple behind him, and asked Tang Seng if he wanted to buy it.
Stopping the soldiers who wanted to expel the scabies monk, Tang Seng stepped forward, made a Buddhist salute to the scabies monk, and asked softly: "How much do you sell your robe and tin staff?"
The scabies monk seemed to be a little arrogant, raised his head, and said contemptuously: "The robe is worth five thousand taels, and the tin staff is worth two thousand taels." ”
Hearing this, a sergeant who looked like a general shouted: "You two crazy monks! Just these two tattered pieces will be sold for 7,000 taels of silver? Unless this robe can be worn on the body and can live forever, even if you wear it and immediately become a Buddha, it is not worth this money! Go quickly, don't disturb the holy car." ”
The scabies monk didn't quarrel with the sergeant, but just looked at Tang Seng fixedly, wanting to hear Tang Seng's answer.
Tang Seng smiled slightly, and was not annoyed by the high price offered by this scabies monk, but asked: "What is the benefit of this robe, it is worth so much money." ”
The monk said: "This robe, the dragon is draped with a wisp, so as to avoid the disaster of the Dapeng silkworm devouring; ...... (10,000 words omitted here.) )”
Flying in the air, Bai Yi quietly watched Guanyin Bodhisattva's performance, but when he saw this scene, Bai Yi couldn't help but snort coldly. Although before this, Guanyin Bodhisattva had also asked others if they wanted to buy robes, but these people were all confused by Guanyin's use of mana, and it was not until the scabies monk of Guanyin's incarnation asked Tang Seng that Guanyin did not use mana. It seems that this god and Buddha are not omnipotent, if you want to preach the world, you must also have to do enough superficial work, and you must make everyone believe it, otherwise you are afraid that in the end it will be empty.
Although Bai Yi really wanted to make trouble for Guanyin, let Tang Seng go crazy in front of everyone, and dance a striptease or something. However, when Bai Yi felt the breath of the Buddhist masters around Chang'an City, he finally resisted the desire to make a move. Although Bai Yi is very disdainful of the hypocrisy of Buddhism, it is undeniable that the strength of Buddhism is indeed very strong. Although the strength of Heifeng Mountain can be ranked in the top three in Xiniu Hezhou, it is nothing compared to Buddhism. In the final analysis, it is a matter of heritage, there is only Bai Yi in Heifeng Mountain, a Da Luo Jin Immortal master, and the Da Luo master of Buddhism is probably as many as a cow's hair, such a gap is that Bai Yi must also be cautious.
After a long time, Tang Seng finally bought the tattered robe and wore it on his body. Suddenly, I saw the fairy spirit in the air, the auspicious light of the flowers, Tang Seng just put the robe on the body, the tattered robe changed its appearance, heavily embedded in the passionflower, scorching hanging pearl star fighting elephant, there are night pearls in the four corners, and an emerald between the tops. Seeing this scene, Tang Seng and Tang Wang were naturally overjoyed, but at this time, the scabies monk had disappeared.
Seeing such a strange thing, Tang Seng naturally thought that this was the will of the Buddha and Bodhisattva, and Tang Seng was wearing a brocade robe and holding a nine-ring staff to preside over the waterway conference. Time flickered, and in the blink of an eye, Tang Seng had already preached Buddhism for seven days, and Bai Yi stayed in the sky over Chang'an City for seven days. In fact, Bai Yi didn't need to do this at all, but the plot that he had been waiting for for five hundred years finally began, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, I'm afraid Bai Yi wouldn't believe it. Five hundred years, if it was in the previous life, I am afraid that I have already lived five lifetimes.
It's just that just when Tang Seng wanted to announce the successful conclusion of the water and land conference, Guanyin Bodhisattva came out to make trouble again: "You are a Hinayana teaching, and you can't exalt the dead, you can only be vulgar and light." 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. ”
Such a troublemaker, Tang Wang naturally wanted to arrest him, but when he saw Guanyin's appearance, Tang Wang immediately recognized that these two scabies monks were the two monks who sold Tang Seng's robes in the first place. Seeing this, King Tang naturally didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly asked, "Where is your Mahayana Buddhism?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "In the Daxi Tianzhu National Da Lei Yin Temple, my Buddha is like a place to come, can solve the knot of a hundred grievances, can eliminate the disaster without vain. ”
After talking to the king of Tang for a while, Guanyin came to the stage and preached Mahayana Buddhism for a while. Seeing that everyone was immersed in the wonders of Mahayana Buddhism, Guanyin first took the Dharma body and changed the appearance of the body. Seeing the real immortals for the first time, where could Tang Wang and other mortals still be able to hold it, they knelt on the ground and burned incense and kowtowed.
Seeing that Tang Wang and others were so yearning for Mahayana Buddhism, Guanyin took the opportunity to select Tang Seng as the person who learned the scriptures and told about the scriptures. After doing these things, Guanyin flew up and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes. Of course, in the eyes of mortals, Guanyin Bodhisattva has disappeared, but in Bai Yi's eyes, the figure of Guanyin Bodhisattva cannot be hidden.
After Guanyin Bodhisattva flew above the clouds, he called back the Buddhas and Arhats who were guarding Chang'an City, and flew towards the West Tianling Mountain with them. I'm afraid Guanyin Bodhisattva can't imagine that everything she did today was seen by Bai Yi, with the magic of "Yi Tiandu", Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't find Bai Yi's figure from beginning to end, otherwise I'm afraid that Guanyin Bodhisattva's expression will be very exciting.
Although Bai Yi really wanted to kill Tang Seng just like that, and it was a hundred from then on, but this plan could only be thought about, if Bai Yi really did this, I am afraid that he would not have to wait for Tang Seng to pass by Heifeng Mountain, Bai Yi would be dismembered by the Buddha of Rulai. It was getting dark, but Bai Yi did not leave Chang'an. "Journey to the West" is Bai Yi's favorite TV series in his childhood, Bai Yi can finally watch the plot of Journey to the West with his own eyes, how can Bai Yi be willing to miss such an opportunity.
