Chapter 214: The Beginning of the Journey to the West
Haotian made a move, covered the sky with his palm, and the purple mangs shined on the world, suppressing the dragon candle dragon, and since then, the land of the four seas is under the jurisdiction of the heavenly court, and the dragon clan has surrendered. ~~~ This qiē shook the minds of too many strong people in the flood wilderness, and while many of the great forces in the flood wilderness were jealous, more scattered cultivators in the Three Realms were yearning for it, hoping to join the heavenly realm and get the protection of the Emperor of Heaven.
This battle has invisibly made the prestige of the Heavenly Realm even greater, and it has a tendency to become the largest force in the Three Realms~~!
The years go by, as the breath of the catastrophe becomes heavier, the large and small forces of the flood are preparing at the same time, they are also cautious, and they dare not come up at this moment, so as not to become the person who opens the catastrophe, with the white contaminated cause and effect of the east to win Shenzhou, the Tang Dynasty has Kongqiu in the town, naturally Wenchang Wusheng, at the same time that Confucianism is prosperous, the only temple in Chang'an City, the ancient temple of Buddhism is gradually spreading, and the incense is flourishing.
“~~~”
Meanwhile.
Xiniu Hezhou Lingshan Dojo, Da Lei Yin Temple, the Buddha who was preaching the scriptures stopped, and in the main hall, the Buddha's sound suddenly stopped. ~~ All the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats woke up from the Tao rhyme, and they all looked at the Buddha with puzzled faces, not knowing why he suddenly stopped preaching.
"Hmm~" The Buddha slowly looked at everyone and suddenly said: "All living beings in the eastern land, greedy and killing, creating endless bad karma, now I have the three Tibets of Buddhism, talking about the heavens, the earth, and the Dharma, which can relieve sentient beings from suffering, but the scriptures cannot be passed on lightly, Venerable Guanyin~~"
"The disciple is here, what does my Buddha have to teach?" Guanyin Bodhisattva replied.
"Hehe~" If the Buddha 'hehe' smiled, looked at the side Guanyin Bodhisattva, and said solemnly: "Guanyin Venerable has vast magical powers, this time you also need to go to the East Earth Shenzhou, looking for a Buddha to return, the scriptures can not be passed lightly, this son needs to have the heart to the Buddha, have great perseverance, all the way to the west, after eighty-one difficulties, can return to the truth, to become a positive fruit golden body ~~~"
"Yes, disciple obeys the will of my Buddhism~~" Guanyin Bodhisattva shouted.
Then, in the eyes of envy or jealousy, he drifted away and flew to Dongsheng Shenzhou. ~~ In the eyes of many people, looking for the Buddha to learn from the scriptures is a good errand that can obtain merit but also has no risk, and such a good thing falls on the head of Guanyin Bodhisattva, which is naturally enviable and hateful.
"Hmm~" The Buddha's eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw Guanyin Bodhisattva go away, and said in a low voice: "Amitabha Buddha~~"
"Amitabha," the crowd shouted.
For a while, the whole Lingshan was silent, only a faint Zen sound lingered, and the afterglow was endless~~~!
And said Chang'an City, in recent years there is a high monk, this person is surnamed Chen, named Xuanzang, since childhood with Buddha nature, a heart to good, intensive study of Buddhism, when he was a teenager, his Buddhist cultivation is far beyond the other monks in the temple, and now it has become a well-known Buddhist master in Chang'an City, respected by hundreds of people, believed ~~~!
"You don't know yet, Master Xuanzang is going to hold a 'Water 6 Fa' in Chang'an City to preach Buddhism,"
"Yes, I have also heard that the master is a Buddhist monk and is well versed in Buddhism, so we should go and go, maybe we can understand it,"
"There is a reason for this"
“!”
Some people or martial arts people in Chang'an City are constantly discussing, mostly about the 'Water 6 Festival'. ~~ Compared with Confucianism, which took root in the court and sank into the hearts of scholars and scholars, the spread of Buddhism was more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and the common people.
At this moment, in the palace of the Tang King in Chang'an City.
"Hmm~" Li Shimin put down his hand, his eyes flashed, he looked at a confidant minister in front of him, and asked in a low voice: "Do the disciples of the Buddhist family hold the 'Water 6 Fa Meeting'?
"Your Majesty~" The confidant minister hurriedly responded and reported loudly: "The Prime Minister also heard about it, it is said that the Prime Minister only laughed and said nothing, and did not express any opinion on the 'Water 6 Fa', Your Majesty, do you want it?" ~~~ The confidant minister asked cautiously, after all, this matter is related to the Prime Minister, and he is still cautious enough.
"Buddhism, 'Water 6 Festival', just go and take a look~~" Li Shimin said lightly.
Confidant Minister: "!"
In a period of silence, under Li Shimin's order, the confidant minister respectfully withdrew from the palace and returned to his own mansion. ~~ For a while, in the spacious hall, only Li Shimin was left, and he frowned slightly at Yue Changyin, as if he was in thought.
"Alas~" Li Shimin sighed suddenly, and said in a low voice: "Although the prime minister is loyal and upright, but I will eventually abdicate, or break through the higher martial arts realm, retire to the royal temple, or fail and fall, there must be a successor, Confucianism is too powerful, so big that no one in the court can balance it, if I am in power, I can also suppress it, if I abdicate, with those useless sons, it is difficult to dominate the dynasty and control the rivers and mountains of Sheji"
"At this moment, the emergence of Buddhism is also just right, maybe I can support a Buddhist force, so as to form a check and balance on Confucianism, but the Buddhist concept is extremely demagogic, once it sits big, it will raise a tiger for trouble, if you give me a little more time, I can deal with a qiē, but now the realm can no longer be suppressed, the impact bottleneck is urgent, but it is a pity ~~"
"I have a tiger in my heart, I want to control the society, swallow the mountains and rivers, but ~~~"
“!”
While thinking, Li Shimin muttered to himself in a low voice, and as his words suddenly echoed, there was a faint flow of powerful martial arts qi and blood in the entire hall, which lasted for a long time.
“~~~”
Time passed, and three days passed in a blink of an eye.
On this day, on a huge open square in Chang'an City, hundreds of bald monks sit in a circle, there is a high platform built in the center, there are futons and Zen incense on the high platform, which is the seat for Master Xuanzang to preach Buddhism, at this moment around the square, there are already a large number of people, civilians onlookers, everyone does not dare to make noise, quietly waiting for the moment of Xuanzang.
"Master Xuanzang is here, look"
"The master is really a high monk, and he can understand Buddhism at a young age"
"If you want me to say, Master Xuanzang is the reincarnation of Arhat, otherwise how could he have such a Buddha nature~~"
"Nice~~~"
“!”
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and many people started to talk about it. ~~ Everyone turned their heads to look, and just saw a monk in his twenties, who looked white and pure, slowly stepped on the high platform, and sat down on the futon, Xuanzang did not speak, but looked down, and the scene was silent for a while.
"Hmm~" In the crowd, Li Shimin, who was dressed in plain clothes, had already arrived under the escort of the attendants, and at this moment he was looking at Xuanzang with a slight frown, and asked in a low voice: "This person is Xuanzang monk~~"
"Yes!" an attendant took a step forward and whispered in Li Shimin's ear: "This person is Xuanzang, and now his name is well-known in Chang'an City, and almost everyone knows about it, so this time he held the 'Water 6 Festival', and countless people rushed to tell each other, guiding zhì here today is crowded with people, mixed with fish and dragons, and it is not safe, just in case, my subordinates look at ~~~"
"!"
Shaking his head slightly, Li Shimin stopped this person from continuing to speak, his eyes flashed with essence, and he looked at Xuanzang carefully.
"Hmm~" Xuanzang saw the crowd of people below, and finally smiled with satisfaction, and said loudly: "Today, the poor monk held the 'Water 6 Fa', and all the donors can come, that is, there is fate, Buddhism emphasizes cause and effect, and everyone has the heart of the Buddha, and he will have retribution in the future, ~~~"
“~~~~~~~~~”
“~~~~~~~”
“~~~~”
Then, Xuanzang began to talk about his understanding of Buddhism, and everyone below listened carefully, but no one accosted him. ~~ Only Li Shimin listened to Xuanzang's true meaning of Buddhism, his brows gradually furrowed, and he fell into thought.
At the same time, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yan looked back at a subordinate in front of him, his face showed solemnity, and he said in a deep voice: "Xuanzang held the 'Water 6 Fa Meeting', did even His Majesty go to listen to the lecture?
The subordinate: "!"
In the silence for a while, Yan Hui's eyes seemed to have a gleam in his eyes, looking in the direction of the 'Water 6 Festival'!
There was silence in the hall, and there was a silent silence.
“~~~”
"Buzz!", "Buzz!", "Buzz!", ~~~~~!
Xuanzang is a mortal womb, and there will naturally be no terrifying vision manifestation of the void at the moment of preaching, but with the Buddha nature of his previous life, and he shoulders a heavy responsibility, the moment of preaching the Dharma, although it is not as exaggerated as the vision is revealed, but in the void of Chang'an City, there is a faint Sanskrit sound that is permeated, like some kind of fairy music, ~~ Although most of the countless people around do not understand, they also show admiration at this moment, and listen carefully to Xuanzang's exposition of Buddhism one by one.
"Sell robes, sell Zen sticks~~~" shouted.
Just as Xuanzang was talking endlessly, a sudden shout came, this voice was old, as if it came from a distant direction, which made people feel strange in their hearts. ~~ The voice was abrupt, everyone including Xuanzang and Li Shimin and others were looking in the direction where the voice came, and everyone saw an old figure, a rather ugly face, but a monk with a strong spirit, holding a robe, a Zen staff walking towards the center of the high platform, shouting while walking, only to hear him shout: "Buddha enlightenment cause and effect, my robe, Zen staff are the treasures of Buddhism, only sell fate, if there is a fate people do not take a penny, if there is no fate, it is difficult to find, ~~~ sell robes, Zen sticks~~!"
This man boasted to himself, and immediately everyone looked at the robe and Zen staff in his hand.
"You monk, how do you sell this robe and Zen staff~~?" asked someone with good deeds.
When everyone in Chang'an City heard this, they laughed, they didn't care much about this old monk, for them, this robe and Zen staff were useless things that were worthless. ~~ Only Li Shimin looked at the old monk, his eyes suddenly condensed, his expression showed a trace of interest, and he suddenly shouted: "This robe and Zen staff are bought by the son and given to Master Xuanzang~~~"
Everyone looked in the direction of Li Shimin, and seeing that his appearance was good, everyone couldn't help but give way and let Li Shimin enter the center.
"Oh!" Xuanzang was slightly stunned, looked at Li Shimin with gratitude, but said with a smile: "The donor's kindness to the poor monk has received it, but it is useless, the poor monk is really unacceptable, thank you for not asking for advice, who is this master?" ~~~ After thanking Li Shimin, Xuanzang turned to look at the old monk and suddenly asked.
"Hehe~" The old monk smiled and said nothing, looked at Xuanzang silently for a while, and suddenly shouted: "The poor monk heard that the master of the 'Water 6 Festival' is Hinayana Buddhism, I don't know if the master can talk about Mahayana Buddhism?" ~~~"
"This~~~~" Xuanzang frowned, as if thinking about what this Mahayana Buddhism is, but after thinking for a long time to no avail, he had to ask for advice: "Please teach the master~~!"
"Mahayana Buddhism Sanzang, talking about the heavens, talking about the earth, saying the law, the mystery is endless, you can save the living people from suffering, you can save the life of the dead, my generation of Buddhas practice for life, if there is enlightenment, you can become a golden body of positive fruits~~~" The old monk said solemnly.
Li Shimin: "!"
The people: "!"
"What?" Xuanzang was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped off the pulpit, walked in front of the old monk, bowed, and said eagerly: "Since the master understands the wonderful meaning of Mahayana Buddhism, the disciple is courageous, please ask the master to preach on the stage, so that I can understand" ~~~ His words were extremely sincere, and he seemed to be really open-minded, and he did not have any mustard for the old monk to disturb the 'Water 6 Conference', but was willing to give way to the old monk, just to listen to him talk about Mahayana Buddhism, which can be said to be dedicated to the Buddha.
"Mahayana Buddhism in the West Heaven Da Lei Yin Temple, the scriptures can not be passed on lightly, someone needs to trek through mountains and rivers, go to the West Land, seek the true scriptures, this way step by step of the disaster, horizontal stalks and demons and monsters are innumerable, those who seek the true scriptures, need to have great perseverance, and devote themselves to the Buddha can ~~~" The old monk said in a deep voice.
As he spoke, everyone looked at Xuanzang. ~~ Li Shimin's eyes narrowed suddenly, and his gaze at the old monk became more and more peculiar.
"The disciple is willing to go~~" Xuanzang was stunned for a moment, and then said without hesitation.
"Buzz!" "Buzz!" "~~~~~!
As soon as Xuanzang's voice fell, the void of Chang'an City shook suddenly, the Taoist rhyme, the Sanskrit sound rose through, and the endless divine light rose up, this light was soft, giving people a sense of spring breeze, when everyone looked again, they saw that the old monk had disappeared, but became Guanyin Bodhisattva, stepping into the void, her face was noble and holy, quietly looking down from the sky, looking down at Xuanzang lightly.
"Ah~"
"This is, the gods have appeared~~"
"It's Guanyin Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva~~"
“!”
The people and monks shouted one after another.
And Xuanzang took a few steps forward, bowed down in the direction of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and shouted respectfully: "Amitabha, disciple Xuanzang, meet the great compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva~~~!"
Avalokiteshvara: "!"
In a moment of silence, Li Shimin squinted his eyes slightly, took a few steps back, and the guards beside him hurriedly showed a sense of vigilance, firmly surrounding Li Shimin in the center, and then staring at Guanyin Bodhisattva, as if they were afraid that she would be unfavorable to Li Shimin. ~~ Although this Guanyin Bodhisattva seems harmless, Li Shimin is extremely jealous of it and does not dare to relax in any way.
"Buzz!" ~~~~~!
Suddenly the void fluctuated, and suddenly there was a ripple, Yan Hui was dressed in a Confucian robe, suddenly stepped out of the void, stood in front of Li Shimin, bowed, and said respectfully: "Minister, face back, meet Your Majesty!"
Then, Yan Hui turned around and looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva quietly, but did not speak.
