Chapter 331: The Ancient Demon Commits Attack
Li Shimin saw that the robe was glamorous, so he asked the two of them how much they wanted, and Guanyin said, "The robe costs 5,000 taels, and the tin staff costs 2,000 taels."
"What good is this robe, that it is worth such a high price?"
"There are advantages and disadvantages of robes, there are places where money is needed, and there are places where money is not needed."
"What's good, what's bad?"
"If you wear my robe, you will not go into ruin, you will not fall into hell, you will not suffer from vicious suffering, and you will not encounter the den of tigers and wolves, it will be good, if you are a foolish monk who is greedy for lust and pleasure, a monk who does not fast or abstain, and an ordinary man who slanders the scriptures and slanders the Buddha, it is not good to see my robe."
"What does it mean to ask for money and not to have money?"
"If you don't follow the Dharma, don't respect the Three Jewels, forcibly buy a robe and a tin staff, and you will definitely sell him for 7,000 taels, this is asking for money, if you respect the Three Jewels, rejoice when you see goodness, take refuge in my Buddha, and can afford it, I will give him the robe and tin staff, and make a good relationship with me, this is no money."
As soon as Li Shimin heard these words, he immediately became interested, and asked, "What kind of robe and tin cane, take it and take a look at it."
Guanyin handed out the robe and tin staff and gave it to Li Shimin, Li Shimin saw that these two treasures were jeweled, and at first glance they were not ordinary, and he also looked up to the two monks, but he was still angry about them disturbing the event, and even asked, "This robe and tin staff are not discussed for the time being, since you have come here to listen to the lecture and eat some fasting food, why do you give Master I a nonsense lecture, disturb the scripture hall, and misunderstand my Buddhist affairs."
"Your master is talking about the Hinayana teachings, and the undead will ascend to heaven, and I have the Mahayana Buddhism Sanzang, which can survive the death and get rid of suffering, and live without damage."
"Where is your Mahayana Dharma?"
"In the Daxi Tianzhu National University Leiyin Temple, where my Buddha came, I can solve the knot of a hundred grievances and eliminate the disaster of no reason."
"Do you remember?"
"I remember".
Taizong was overjoyed when he heard this. said, "Come on, quickly lead the mage away, and come to the stage to speak."
Unexpectedly, the two monks not only did not give a lecture, but turned into a person. Turned into the original appearance, it was the Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Hui'an walker, I saw the Bodhisattva holding the pure bottle willow in his hand, stepping on the auspicious clouds, followed by the Hui'an walker, but it was not magnificent, Li Shimin saw it, and quickly kowtowed.
At this time, Avalokiteshvara spoke. "On the ceremony of the Tang Dynasty, there is a wonderful text in the West, the journey is 108,000 miles, the Mahayana is diligent, this scripture returns to the country, can surpass the ghosts out of the group, if there are those who are willing to go, seek the golden body of the right fruit."
After speaking. Guanyin left without looking back.
Li Shimin hurriedly gathered many eminent monks in Dongtu and asked them. "Who are you waiting for who is willing to go to the west to learn scriptures".
At this time, Xuanzang Mao recommended himself, saluted in front of Li Shimin, and said, "The poor monk is not talented, and he is the work of dogs and horses." Seek the true scriptures with His Majesty, and pray to ensure that my king's country is eternal".
Li Shimin was overjoyed, stepped forward to help Xuanzang up, and said, "The mage can be loyal and virtuous." I am not afraid of long journeys, trekking mountains and rivers, I am willing to worship you as brothers."
Xuanzang immediately thanked him, Li Shimin went to the temple in front of the Buddha, and Xuanzang bowed four times, called "the holy monk of the royal brother", Xuanzang thanked him endlessly, and said, "Your Majesty, how can the poor monk be virtuous, dare to be favored by heaven like this? I will go until the west day, if I don't go to the west sky, I can't get the true scriptures, even if I die, I don't dare to return to China, I want to fall into hell forever", even if I make incense in front of the Buddha, take this as an oath.
After hearing this, Li Shimin was overjoyed, and immediately gave Xuanzang the robe and tin staff left by Guanyin, and gave him a purple gold bowl for fasting on the way.
The next day, Li Shimin saw Xuanzang, first asked someone to pack up the bags and horses, clear the customs documents, and then ordered the eunuch to hold the pot and drink wine, immediately, Li Shimin toasted Xuanzang a cup, Xuanzang thanked him, took the imperial wine, but did not drink it, and said, "Your Majesty, wine is the first precept of the monk's family, and the poor monk will not drink."
Li Shimin said, "Today's trip is different from other things, this is vegetarian wine, only drink this glass, in order to send me farewell."
When Xuanzang heard this, he didn't dare to accept it, so he immediately took the wine and wanted to drink it, only to see Li Shimin bend down, pick up a handful of dust, and bounce it into the wine, Xuanzang didn't understand what he meant.
Li Shimin said with a smile, "Brother Yu, when can I go back to the West Heaven this time?"
Xuanzang became a bamboo in his chest and said, "As long as it takes three years, you can return to China."
Li Shimin said, "The days are long, the mountains are far away, the royal brother can lead this wine, and he would rather love the soil of his hometown, and he will not love the land of ten thousand taels of gold", at this time, Xuanzang Fang understood the meaning of twisting the soil, and immediately thanked him for drinking, rode on a horse, and left Chang'an with two attendants.
After walking for a day or two, Xuanzang came to Famen Temple, the elders of the temple and the monks received, and they all advised Xuanzang not to go to the West Heaven, but Xuanzang said, "The heart is born, all kinds of demons are born, the heart is destroyed, all kinds of demons are destroyed, I have made a grand vow, I must go to the West Heaven, see my Buddha Rulai, retrieve the true scriptures, and protect the Tang Dynasty forever", the monks were greatly moved, and they were full of praise.
The next morning, Xuanzang burned incense in front of the Buddha and made a vow, "Disciple Chen Xuanzang, go to the West Heaven to worship the Buddha to learn scriptures, the naked eye mortal, not serious Buddha, vow to burn incense in the temple, meet the Buddha to worship the Buddha, meet the tower to sweep the tower, I hope that my Buddha is merciful, early appearance of the six golden body, give the true scriptures, and leave the East soil."
And at this moment, in the Fire God Palace of Langyuan Immortal Island in the South China Sea, Feiyang opened his eyes, and looked at the two treasures in front of him, the Netherworld Xuanshui Bottle and the Fierce Wind Banner, but he was immediately very satisfied, after so many years of refining, the Netherworld Xuanshui Bottle was about one layer refined, and the Fierce Wind Banner was also refined about half a layer.
"This time is really not enough, I have to go out again, now that Tang Seng has left Chang'an, ready to go to learn the scriptures, I also have time to go out of the customs, to the world to plan a little, but I have to send away the coming thing that doesn't know what is good."
At this time, Feiyang's face showed a fierce light, and his eyes looked north, because the reason why Feiyang was besieged by the two ancient demons last time, the dragon mother ordered to go down, and the entire dragon clan had to pay attention to the movements of the ancient demons at all times, once the ancient demons left the North Sea and came to the South China Sea, they had to notify her immediately, but she would immediately notify Feiyang.
And at this time, there is an ancient demon from the North Sea to the South China Sea, last time even two ancient demons failed to deal with Feiyang, and now the ancient demon dares to come alone, then it proves that this ancient demon is absolutely extraordinary, in fact, Tong Guò Dragon Mother's investigation found that this time it was the ancient fierce beast of the king of the two beasts that turned into snakes.
This beast looks like a cow on the outside, with a white head, but it has the tail of a snake, and only one eye, when it enters the water, the water source will dry up immediately, and when it enters the grass, the grass will immediately die, it is a terrifying fire attribute monster comparable to the zombie ancestor drought.
And this demon beast flew all the way from the North Sea to the South China Sea, causing the sea level to evaporate a few points down, if such an obvious abnormality could not be discovered, those dragon sons and grandsons of the dragon clan simply crashed to death, therefore, before Fei left the North Sea, Feiyang had already been notified.
