It is said that the Donghua Shangxian served the moral Tianzun Taishang Laojun law, under the thirty-three Tiandou Palace, straight to the mortal south Zhan Buzhou, not long to the Chang'an City Street, straight to the palace, but was stopped by two gatekeepers, Donghua Shangxian did not want to go through more trouble, took the token and went straight to the heavens, Li Shimin knew that it was the dream to point out his immortal to come, he did not dare to slack off, taught people to invite into the hall, just sat down for a while, there were old monks to invite Li Shimin and others to go to Fahua Temple to listen to the scriptures, Donghua Shangxian was sure that the time had come, and then went with him。 When he arrived in the temple, everyone was sitting cross-legged, and a few old monks were talking, but they could hear the loud ridicule of Donghua Shangxianhu, and they couldn't help but be stunned.

Several old monks on the high platform originally closed their eyes slightly, and they couldn't control it when they heard this statement, and a nameless fire rose in their hearts, and one of them opened his eyes and said coldly: " If you are a person who has the fate to understand, then sit down and listen to the lecture, and have a good relationship with us, if you don't understand, then leave yourself, don't make noise here, it is useless to yourself, and it also disturbs us, you are the Tao, we are the Buddha, we have nothing to do with each other, why bother being rude!"

Donghua Shangxian sneered: "Hehe, this master is moved by hatred, and has committed the great precept of Buddhism's greed, hatred, ignorance, and suspicion of the five poisons, but how can you be worthy of the title of a disciple of Buddhism?" The few people next to him were extremely unhappy when they saw that this fellow disciple had suffered an old loss, but they raised their eyes to look at Li Shimin, but they saw that Li Shimin listened to the Taoist insulting the Dharma, but his face was indifferent and there was no anger, but there was a little imperceptible joy in his eyes.

Donghua Shangxian saw that the old monk was silent for a long time, but said: "Do you masters know, what you are talking about is a small Buddhist scripture or a large Buddhist scripture?" The old monk said: "What the poor monk said is naturally a great Buddhist scripture!" Donghua Shangxian smiled and said: "The master is wrong, what you just said is not a great inheritance of the Buddhist scriptures, although it is more subtle than the small inheritance of the Buddhist scriptures, but it is worse than the great inheritance of the Buddhist scriptures. When the old monks heard it, they couldn't help but be secretly shocked in their hearts, relying on their many years of understanding the Buddhist scriptures, they naturally saw that there was something wrong with this scripture, but they didn't dare to say it directly, they didn't expect this person to open their mouths to make it clear, and they were not afraid of the emperor's blame.

Li Shimin was also shocked in his heart, stood up, and asked, "Immortal Chief, I don't know what's wrong with this scripture, and how did Immortal Chief know about it?" Your Majesty doesn't know that the Sanzang Sutra is the Dharma of the Western quasi-Daoists, extremely profound, just as the Nanhai Guanyin Bodhisattva said, reciting the scriptures can transcend the soul, so that the martyred person can get out of the sea of suffering, and the evil ghost is reincarnated, but the poor Tao can see these masters chanting the scriptures, without any appearance, and the scripture is not a big inheritance, but a small inheritance, slightly different, so the poor Taoist is just laughing. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he was half-convinced in his heart, nodded slightly, and then asked the old monk on the stage: "A few masters, according to a few people, how is this scripture?" Although several old monks knew that it was inappropriate, but if they told the truth, I was afraid that they would commit the crime of bullying the king and cause a catastrophe of death. Donghua Shangxian secretly sighed in his heart: "This mortal is really ignorant, even this monk is full of disobedient words, and he is finally disturbed by the red dust and messes up his heart, which is really a pity, pitiful!"

Then he said: "Your Majesty, there is no basis for empty words, and there is no need to make this tongue dispute, I don't know if the Sanzang scriptures can be taken to the poor Dao to see, so naturally I will know the details." Li Shimin said: "This matter is very easy, why not!" Then he taught his soldiers to take down the Sanzang scriptures one by one, and put them on the wooden table, Donghua Shangxian stepped forward, took a volume of scriptures and looked at it in his hand for a while, smiled slightly, and said to Li Shimin: "Please Your Majesty take some clear water, wait for the poor Dao to cast the spell, and teach this scripture to be shown to Your Majesty." Li Shimin hurriedly taught people to fetch clear water, so he saw Donghua Shangxian take a leaf, dip it in clear water, and point it to the scripture book in his hand, and the scripture turned into a little sand and stone and fell.

Donghua Shangxian said: "Your Majesty, these scriptures were originally just some sand and stones, and the scriptures on them were just conjured by people. "Anyway, the clear water is a few drops, and the rest of the scriptures have also returned to the original sand, all of them are mortals**, and when have they seen the immortal means, and now they see that this person is originally a heavenly immortal who came down to earth, and they all bowed down, kowtowed, and the old monks also came down to make amends: "I am mortals, I don't know the high and low, offend the immortal, forgive the sin!" Donghua Shangxian said: "You don't have to be polite." Donghua Shangxian looked at Li Shimin, saw that he was displeased, and knew his thoughts.

Immediately said: "Your Majesty does not have to be resentful, there is a loss, there is a gain, although the Tang Dynasty has no scriptures, but Your Majesty is therefore able to get back the golden dragon, the Tang Dynasty is stable and long, and it can also avoid the disaster in the dream, Your Majesty does not have to worry, there is only one point and need to be remembered." Li Shimin was happy in his heart and said with a smile: "Immortal Chief, please speak." Donghua Shangxian only said two words: "Benevolence!" Li Shimin said: "Immortal Chief, I should understand!"

In the palace, all the courtiers were scattered, Donghua Shangxian was about to leave, but Li Shimin was repeatedly retained, set up a banquet in the palace, drank a feast, danced in the court, staggered, after a few hours, Li Shimin, who was not drunk with a thousand cups, was also drunk, Donghua Shangxian and that Wei Zheng got up to say goodbye, and went out of the Jinluan Palace, the two walked to a side hall, Wei Zheng said to several subordinates on duty at the palace gate: "You go down, I have something to discuss with the Taoist, don't come to disturb!" A few people didn't dare to disobey themselves, so they immediately retreated.

The two of them immediately entered the hall and closed the door, Wei Zheng stepped forward to bow down and salute and said: "Wei Zheng visited Donghua Shangxian! I heard that the immortal friend told the immortal that the immortal was enlightened by the Taishang Moral Heavenly Venerable, but here is that the mortal world is not good to leak the heavenly opportunity, so I failed to see the salute in time, and I hope that the immortal is not strange!" Donghua Shangxian hurriedly helped Wei Zheng up and said: "I am the eight immortals, Wei Zheng Daoyou don't have to be so polite." The two then sat down cross-legged, and Wei Zheng asked: "I don't know why the immortals came to the mortal world this time?" Donghua Shangxian said: "Buddhism crosses to the east, I am ordered by the Taishang Sect Master to complete a period of success! ”

Wei Zheng understood in his heart, so he said: "It turned out that it was the immortal who helped the king of Tang, and did not hide it from the immortal, I knew that although the king of Tang Li Shimin was the emperor of the mandate of heaven, but the golden dragon on his body was nowhere to be seen, but his own luck was also deep, it was because the little fairy was also struggling to find this golden dragon for a long time, and he didn't want to be obtained by the immortal, so he became this achievement, if it was a little immortal, I am afraid I don't know how long it will be found, I am really ashamed!" Donghua Shangxian said with a smile: " In fact, it's just a coincidence, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was originally lucky, and he can naturally get it, whether it is poor or not, it is not necessarily true. ”

It turned out that day Donghua Shangxian drove the clouds down from the sky, and was slowly moving forward in the Xiaohan, and suddenly saw the golden light flashing below, but from looking down, he saw that there was a golden dragon in the Gangfeng layer above the Nanzhan Buzhou that was turning by itself, and the wind was stirring, but it was crushed by the dragon's claws one by one, Donghua Shangxian was strange in his heart, this dragon did not return to the sea or return to the sky, but it could not be tossed here, and then pinched his fingers, and understood in his heart, only shook the sleeve robe, and received the golden dragon, so that a magic power entered Li Shimin's dream, and then the golden dragon returned to its original position。

Donghua Shangxian said again, and finally said: "Luck is in the sky, but it is also indispensable to act, only the three talents stand side by side, and follow the situation in order to make a difference and achieve meritorious deeds, Wei Zheng Daoyou is a minister who has entered the mortal world as the emperor, and he should remember it!" Wei Zheng arched his hand and said: "Shangxian rest assured!" Donghua Shangxian nodded, and after saying a few more words, he said goodbye and left. Donghua Shangxian is no longer in a hurry to leave the mortal world, in this Chang'an City to find a Taoist temple, for the people to talk about some reason, solve problems, but also quite loved by the people, after all, it is an immortal, the reason is natural and exquisite, teach these mortals to listen to it as if they were fascinated.

After a few days of delay, Donghua Shangxian entered the palace to bid farewell to Li Shimin, and drove straight to the palace to see Taishang Laojun in the 33rd Tiantu Palace, not to mention. Since Donghua Shangxian left, the people in Chang'an City because they listened to the truth of Donghua Shangxian, felt that it was very mysterious, compared to those Buddhist scriptures are not weaker than the slightest, there are many people in the city to build a view of the universe, worship the Taoist Sanqing statue, there are also monks continue to hair, do Taoist priests.

This naturally can't be hidden from Li Shimin, but he doesn't pay attention to it, he turns a blind eye, but his heart is secretly happy, just because he Li Shimin is a mortal in the end, and he is suspicious by nature, what he saw in his dream last time made him feel very unhappy in his heart, he is the king of a country, these monks want to occupy his country, then naturally they are looking for death, whether what they see in the dream is true or not, these monks are all scourges, and now after such a toss by this Donghua Shangxian, many people have no intention of cultivating Buddhism, but went to cultivate, which is also in line with Li Shimin's mind。

Throughout the ages, no matter which dynasty or generation, it is not difficult for the emperor to lay down the country, but the difficulty is to sit firmly in the country, for thousands of generations, and to do this, it is necessary to conform to the will of the people, and naturally rule the world without doing anything. Li Shimin is naturally well aware of this principle, the disciples of Buddhism are a threat to themselves, which makes him unhappy, and the people happen to respect Taoism, which is like finding a fire in the snow, and someone brings you a pillow when you fall asleep, which is naturally something you can't ask for.

If it weren't for the fact that Tang Sanzang saw the South China Sea Guanyin Bodhisattva in a dream, and got the brocade robe, The two treasures of the nine-ring tin rod made Li Shimin extremely reverent for Buddhism, so that many monks entered the Tang Dynasty to preach the Buddhist scriptures and build temples on a large scale, so that these monks have gained a firm foothold after many years, and it is impossible to completely clear them, and they are afraid that the ministers and the people will whisper, otherwise, I am afraid that according to Li Shimin's ruthless methods, he would have sent troops to drive those Buddhist bald donkeys out of the Tang Dynasty, and greatly promoted the Taoism, where can these monks be tolerated.

It's just that he unexpectedly had such thoughts, but it caused trouble for the future Tang Kingdom. This is a later story, and I will not mention it.

To find out what's next, listen to the next breakdown.
