Li Shimin convened the water and land puja in order to qualify the evil spirits in hell, help him get rid of his bad karma, and change all kinds of bad things in his past, so that his descendants can last forever. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 So after a series of solemn and tedious ceremonies, the highlight of the puja is the overcoming of demons.

This water and land festival is different from the one in Journey to the West, which is a joint participation of Buddhism and Taoism. In order to show that their sect is stronger than the other party, the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism try their best to show their abilities and try their best to temper the evil ghosts, so as to strive to overwhelm the other party's sect and leave a good impression on Li Shimin, so that their sect can get official assistance to make it develop and grow, and not leave room for the other party to survive.

Although everyone at the scene is trying their best to chant sutras to surpass the evil ghosts, but there are so many evil ghosts in hell, to get rid of the evil ghosts in hell, just these monks and Taoists on the scene, only with the forty-nine days of water and land puja, it is simply a fool's dream.

Jiang Liu has long known that the purpose of Buddhism fooling Li Shimin to open a water and land festival is to start a journey to the west to learn scriptures, not to transcend evil ghosts at all. Otherwise, it would be impossible for those who come to the festival to have such a little bit of cultivation. You must know that the Jizo Bodhisattva, who is the highest cultivation among the four great bodhisattvas, vowed to spend all the evil ghosts in hell, and stayed in hell for countless years without doing it.

"Hey, what's going on with this Buddhism? When I didn't want to see them before, they came faster and faster every time, but now I hope they will appear sooner, but they are gone!" "Since he knows the nature of the water and land puja, of course, Jiang Liu can't pay too much attention to it, while pretending to recite the scriptures, while hoping that the Bodhisattva of the Buddhist gate will come soon, so that he can start his journey to the west as soon as possible, so that he can get out of the big vortex of Chang'an City as soon as possible.

In fact, Jiang Liu blamed other people's Buddhism, and other Buddhism had long wanted to come, but because of Jiangliu's nonsense, he made a mess of the arrangement of other people's Buddhism, so that other Buddhism had no excuse to come forward at all.

Originally, Buddhism thought very well, and Buddhism had full authority to preside over the convening of the water and land puja, which could not only expand the influence of Buddhism in Datang, but also control the progress of the puja at any time. Just like in the Journey to the West, as long as the Buddhists are willing, they can send a Bodhisattva over at any time, and tell Li Shimin that they are using Hinayana Buddhism and cannot transform evil ghosts.

However, due to the harmony of the river, this water and land puja was not held as the Buddhism imagined, and even the Daomen accepted the invitation and joined the puja, causing both the Buddhism and Taoism to fight for the benefit of their respective sects to overcome the evil spirits in hell, making things out of control.

Originally, the water and land puja was just a façade, but now it has become a real puja. Although the speed of the puja is very slow because of the low cultivation of the people participating in the puja, the puja is after all to qualify evil ghosts, which makes it impossible for Buddhism to control the progress of the puja, and it is not possible to use the Hinayana Buddhism to reduce evil ghosts as an excuse to start a journey to the west.

Jiang Liu didn't know any of this now, but was just waiting anxiously at the festival. But Buddhism is different, it was a simple thing, but now it has been made a mess and become completely uncontrollable, and everyone in the anxious Buddhism is like ants on a hot pot.

"The matter of learning the scriptures went wrong again, I am really unlucky, I have such a drudgery!" "The matter of learning the scriptures has always been in charge of Guanyin Bodhisattva, but this time the matter is too big, she does not dare to make her own decisions, after some complaints, she came to Lingshan and asked the Buddha how to deal with this matter.

After Guanyin came to Lingshan, she found that almost all the great powers of Buddhism were in Lingshan, and after she explained the situation to everyone, she asked: "Buddha, now things have changed, we can't just wait, what needs to be done, or you have an idea!"

For this matter, the Buddha has no good way, this matter is related to the foundation of the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, it is impossible for the Daomen to make concessions to their Buddhism, and it is even more impossible to let them cooperate with the Daomen, so now he feels that he can only take one step at a time.

"Lord Buddha, in my opinion, it is not too difficult to solve this matter, as long as that golden cicada cooperates!" Just as everyone was thinking hard about countermeasures, Manjushri suddenly spoke.

"Venerable Manjushri is worthy of being famous for his wisdom, he has come up with a way so quickly, hurry up and tell it for everyone to hear!"

"Buddha Master, although the Dharma is in the Transcendence of evil ghosts, but the cultivation of the people who participate in the Dharma is too low after all, it is okay to surpass the ordinary evil ghosts with their mana, once they meet those military spirits, they will be powerless, as long as the golden cicada cooperates and smoothly starts the journey to the west, it will not be a problem!"

After hearing this, Guanyin said, "Venerable Manjushri, although your method is good, it is too late. Although there are not too many ordinary evil spirits in hell, there are not a few, and if the people at the festival go to surpass them, they will not be able to finish it in a few years!"

"That's why I said that I want Jin Chanzi to cooperate! Other people's cultivation is weak and slow, but Jin Cicada's cultivation is high, as long as he is willing to cooperate, it won't take much time to overtake those ordinary evil ghosts!"

After hearing this, the Buddha Lord nodded, and then said: "Venerable Manjushri, although what you said is good, but have you thought about it, that golden cicada is very resistant to our Buddhism, and it is not easy to get him to agree to cooperate with us!"

After hearing this, Manjushri said confidently: "Of course I have considered this matter! If it weren't for his misdeeds, things wouldn't have come to this point at all! Since everything started because of him, it is only natural for him to solve it, if he agrees to cooperate with us, if he doesn't agree, we need to use some means against him, otherwise, he won't necessarily cause us any trouble on this long journey to the west!"

Manjushri's hatred for Jiang Liu, it was simply unforgettable, he was always thinking about how to take revenge on Jiang Liu, and now there was such an opportunity, if he didn't take the opportunity to put on a small shoe for Jiang Liu, then he would be sorry for his famous brand name for wisdom.

"Oh, how do you use methods against the golden cicada? He is full of resistance to our Buddhism, and it also makes our plans full of variables, if we can subdue him, things will go very smoothly in the journey to the west!" The Buddha Lord was also very dissatisfied with the river, and after hearing Manjushri's words, he also wanted to take the opportunity to control the river.

"Buddha Master, it used to be difficult to control the golden cicada, but now it has become very simple!"

"Oh, why is that?" Hearing Manjushri's pretended mysterious reply, the Buddha's interest was also aroused.

"Has the Buddha forgotten the three hoops given by the saint?!"

"Yes, if you don't say that I have forgotten, those three hoops can be used to control the golden cicada!" After the Buddha Lord was reminded, he also suddenly realized.
