The crown prince Li Zhi received Li Shimin's will, and the ministers could not persuade him, seeing that the overall situation had been decided, they were all in a complicated mood, and they stood below, sighing, but they were also speechless for a while.

At this moment, I heard a burst of Buddhist singing outside the main hall, slowly coming.

Everyone was suddenly surprised, they all looked out, and Li Shimin also stood up.

I saw two points of brilliance, one gold and one white, coming from the distant western sky, from far to near, and in a few breaths, I had already arrived in the palace.

Two points of brilliance fell in front of everyone, and a monk appeared.

The monk put one hand on his chest, and the other hand held a string of Bodhi prayer beads, plucking the Buddha beads one by one, reciting the scriptures in his mouth, singing in bursts of Buddha sounds, and showing compassion on his face.

Everyone saw it clearly, but when they saw this monk, wearing a light brown robe, his body was slightly fat, there was no hair on the top of his head, his temples were pasted with silver wires, he had a hawthorn beard under his chin, and there was a faint golden halo behind his head.

This is exactly what the three flowers gather to get rid of the mortal dust, and the five qi dynasty yuan becomes a golden immortal. Meditation practice is highly legal, and it was the first to be called Dharma in ancient times.

Another Taoist is not a bystander, but Yuan Tiangang.

"Hmm, who is this monk, the Tao is not shallow, and he even came to meddle in this matter, hehe! I just don't know how to advance and retreat! It's just that, anyway, I also act according to the will of heaven, so I won't use supernatural powers, see how you do it, it doesn't matter, and just wait and see." ”

"It's just that how can this Yuan Tiangang invite someone from the Buddhist Sect to help him, but it's strange. ”

Wukong was on the side, and when he saw these two people coming, he already knew that he had jumped out of the way halfway, he was acting in accordance with the sky, confident, but he was not afraid of people coming to disrupt the situation, but he was doubtful in his heart.

But I don't know the origin of this Bodhidharma patriarch.

Before Patriarch Bodhidharma attained enlightenment, he was just a small presiding officer in a mortal monastery, but both the root nature and the Dharma nature were extremely profound.

Moreover, he was a monk since he was a child, and when he was young, Buddhism was extremely profound, far surpassing those monks of the older generation, so his influence in the temple was also quite great.

I don't know what happened, but suddenly one day, he was meditating in front of the Buddha statue, contemplating the wonderful scriptures, and suddenly on the top of the Buddha's head, a Bodhi seed fell, but he swallowed it into his belly, and it was instantaneous, and his soul immediately returned to the western heavens.

Later, he was transformed by the master of the Zen religion of the West Heaven, and was reborn in the Pure Land of the West Heavenly Spirit Mountain, the central world of Suva, and worshiped the Divine Bodhisattva.

He has cultivated the secret method of Zen Buddhism, has immeasurable supernatural powers, and is still above his teacher, and he has long been a Da Luo Jin Immortal.

In accordance with the decree of the central and current Buddha Shakyamuni, the lower realm will transform the world, subdue demons and subdue demons, accumulate merits, and prove the Buddha's position and become a Buddha as an ancestor.

He has been in this world for many years, and he has also practiced Buddhism and Taoism, and the convergence of Buddhism and Taoism is to have some connections with many sects in the world.

Especially with Qinghua Zhenren, the head of the Shushan faction, he is a good friend, and this Yuan Tiangang came to invite him to naturally come forward.

"Who is the Master, and what is the purpose of this?" asked Li Shimin.

Bodhidharma Patriarch said: "Amitabha! The old monk is the Bodha Zen master of the Bodhi Temple in Tianzhu Kingdom, and today he is here to explain the things in his heart for His Majesty, hoping that His Majesty can listen to the words of the old monk." ”

Li Shimin was secretly depressed in his heart, so he said: "Oh, what does the Zen master know in my heart?"

Zen Master Bodhidharma nodded and said: "This is a matter of His Majesty's country, and the poor monk should not interfere, but for the luck of the common people in the world, the poor monk has to come, risk the disapproval of the world, and see His Majesty's face." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, although he is a man of great talent, it is really not advisable for His Majesty to retire just for the sake of cultivating immortals. ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Haha! The Zen master is bad, my son Li Zhi, I have been taught by me since I was a child, and I know my son Mo Ruo's father, his qualifications are the most clear, and if I cultivate immortals, my own luck will not be damaged, and the luck of the Tang Dynasty will not be damaged, but it will increase unabated, what's wrong?"

Bodhidharma Patriarch said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, Your Majesty is a human body into the Tao, and he is the emperor of people, although he is not damaged, but he does nothing, it is inevitable that he will mistake his family and make the ministers uneasy!"

All the ministers nodded silently.

Li Shimin said: "Zen master doesn't need to say much, I understand myself, but if you want to get rid of disasters, you have to practice, and it's useless to say more." Let's go to the apse and eat vegetarian food. ”

Bodhidharma Zen Master still wanted to speak, but Yuan Tiangang took the lead, pointed to Wukong and said: "Your Majesty, do you believe the words of this person? I really don't hide it from Your Majesty, this Taoist has been to Chang'an City several times to investigate, and has been bumped into by the poor Dao, last time he secretly poisoned His Majesty, not a ghost, I don't know how he deceived Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty, give up the country, and the peace must not be kind, Your Majesty needs to think twice!"

At this moment, it was like seeing the sun through the clouds, the ministers thought about it carefully, and sure enough, the things before and after were all made by this Taoist priest to make a hindrance, and now the Manchu Dynasty civil and military knelt down together: "Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Only the crown prince Li Zhi, holding the holy decree in his hand, did not know whether to advance or retreat.

Although Li Shimin had already made up his mind, he still couldn't see such a scene, so he had to look at Wukong. Wukong just smiled and nodded, what he wanted was this kind of result, after the turmoil, he could calm down.

It was only at this time that he calmly stepped forward, waved the dust, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be like this, and get up, if what Poor Dao does is really a disaster to the country and the people, Poor Dao will be caught with his hands tied, but is it credible just by his words? If so, isn't it too abrupt." ”

Li Shimin shouted: "Wait and make a plan, if you want to be rude, you will be a bully!"

And all the people worshipped, but they got up and served.

Wukong ignored Yuan Tiangang, and gave another salute to Patriarch Bodhidharma, saying: "Zen master, the poor way is polite! I don't know how the Zen master will be treated?"

Zen Master Bodhidharma drank Yuan Tiangang away, and saluted: "Amitabha! Taoist friend, the poor monk is not hostile, but I heard that the Taoist friend bewitched His Majesty the current emperor to cultivate the Dao Law, although I don't know why, but my Buddha is compassionate, although the poor monk just heard the wind and came, but also has to measure his own strength, with his own strength, to help the Taoist friend, but also to help His Majesty eliminate karma, avoid falling into karma!"

Wukong snorted and laughed twice, but did not answer,

"Why are you laughing?" said Patriarch Bodhidharma lightly.

"I'm only obedient to the sky, where does karma come from?" Wukong said.

Patriarch Bodhidharma was speechless for a moment, he has been practicing for many years, and the Dharma is profound, how can he not calculate the number of days in the underworld, but before he came here, he was entrusted by others, no matter what, he must stop this Li Shimin from cultivating.

This human emperor Li Shimin is extremely lucky, and he is an important figure in the future killing, cultivating Buddhism or cultivating the Tao or doing nothing, all of which will have an impact on the future, so he also has to intervene in the matter of this throne.

It is by the hand of Yuan Tiangang that he will come by pushing the boat down the river, otherwise, who will do this emperor in the world has nothing to do with him, and how can he come in person.

Yuan Tiangang saw that the Bodhidharma Patriarch had nothing to say on the side, but he thought in his heart: "This Taoist is very cunning, clever tongue, if you want to fight with him, even if I and Bodhidharma Zen Master work together, it will take some effort, it is better to let them gamble to win, fall into the face of this guy, it can be regarded as a bad spirit, wait for the future to come back to make a good living, the gentleman is not too late to take revenge for ten years, otherwise I don't know how long it will be a stalemate!"

immediately said: "You are so rude, the Zen master just asked you, you don't have to be proud, play on the lips, what kind of trick is it, if you have the ability, you can gamble and fight!"

When Zen Master Bodhidharma heard this, his heart moved slightly and frowned.

Before he could speak, Li Shimin hurriedly stopped: "Wait, the three of you must not fight for this matter, the widow has already made up his mind, and the words have been said, so it cannot be taken back, so that Li Zhiyue will ascend the throne and the widow will practice!"

Patriarch Bodhidharma clasped his palms together and said, "Amitabha! This is the number of days, and it cannot be violated!

Wukong also said: "Your Majesty, Prince Li Zhi is the king, but it doesn't matter, it's just that the poor Dao and these two Taoist friends, there are some grievances and cause and effect, everything is over at this time, and I just take this opportunity to make a decision here, and please ask Your Majesty for permission!"

"Why did the immortal chief say this, my palace is not very strong, how can it withstand the battle of your three immortals, I am afraid that after this, it will be destroyed in one fell swoop!

Yuan Tiangang said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, here, we don't fight with arms, just fight with culture, we just need a venue, Your Majesty and others can also watch from the sidelines, there will be no damage." ”

When Li Shimin heard that there was no danger, he let go of his thoughts.

At that moment, he was also interested, applauded and smiled: "Okay, good! This immortal fight, don't say martial arts, it is a literary fight, and the widow has never seen it, today is just an eye-opener, haha!"

Patriarch Bodhidharma said, "That's right! Amitabha! Good!

After that, Li Shimin got up, set up the dragon chariot and phoenix chariot, and the maids on the left and right took the dragon beard fan, drove the dragon chariot, and led everyone away.

Wukong was cautious after all, and hurriedly asked: "It's just a matter of making a break, and Wen Dou will be Wen Dou." Just what are you gambling on?" Yuan Tiangang said: "Since Brother Dao has boundless mana and profound Taoism, he must enter meditation and the like, and he will definitely not fall behind, so how about betting on a method of meditation?"

Wukong smiled: "Although you are a little deceitful, but the poor road doesn't care, but, are you compared with me, or is the Zen master compared to me?"

Bodhidharma Zen Master said: "Then the old monk will compete with Taoist friends, if it is a small friend of Tiangang, it will definitely lose." If the Taoist friend wins, we will no longer be embarrassed with the Taoist friend, if the old monk is lucky to win, please Taoist friend do not interfere in the affairs of this time, Your Majesty's method of immortality, there are poor monks to teach the Dharma, help them become enlightened, Taoist friends will be good to practice, how about it?"

Goku just nodded and didn't answer.

It didn't take long to arrive in front of Wufeng Tower, a vacant land with a radius of several acres, and there were already guards who arranged everything properly.

There were two futons in the center, and a pergola was set up on the periphery, welcoming Li Shimin and the ministers, Wukong and Patriarch Bodhidharma, each boarded the futon and sat down.

The two looked at each other and smiled meaningfully.

They all sat upright on the futon and closed their eyes at the same time.

Suddenly, everyone present saw that above the two of them, they were all spirits and wolf smoke rushing up, rushing straight to the nine skies, and then descending again, converging above the heads of the two people, and transforming.

On the top of the head of the Bodhidharma Zen master, there is a golden lotus, on which there are two Buddhas, sitting on the left and right, and the one on the left is the six golden bodies, Sakyamuni Rulai.

Sitting on the right is the immeasurable and unattainable guide, Amitabha!

And the top of Wukong's head was also condensed with golden light at the beginning, and gradually condensed into a golden pill relic the size of a sea bowl, and the black and white gas underneath were entangled, holding it steadily.

Then another spirit rushed up, enveloped Jin Dan, and slowly evolved, and finally it turned out to be a Dan platform, and there were two people sitting on it.

On the left, there is a Taoist man, with crane hair and a childish face, wearing a Taoist robe, holding a bamboo cane, and there are thousands of auspicious clouds and thousands of rui qi.

There is another person sitting on the right, but it is only vaguely visible, wearing a golden Yunguang Taiji Bagua robe, wearing a purple and gold crown, his face is blurred, and the Qingyun golden lamp is on his head, auspicious light and mist, purple and green are misty.

One person sat on the left and right of this Dantai, and for a while, it was evenly divided.
