Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Golden Cicada is ordered to learn from the scriptures
Zhu Bajie knew that if he wanted to embarrass himself, then naturally he would not look for Monk Sha and Xiao Bailong, he was now going to Chang'an City to find the golden cicada, temper the golden cicada, and let the other party go to the west with him to take the Mahayana scriptures.
The golden cicada was reincarnated as the current Xuanzang, which can be said to be the so-called personal calamity, this calamity is unavoidable, and if he does not inform the identity of the golden cicada in advance, he will not do it, because once he does this, it is tantamount to violating heaven and earth, and such a great power as Rulai is even more afraid to touch these rules in the dark.
This is just like when Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the sky, and some strong people did not dare to make a move, heaven and earth can never be violated, this is an eternal truth.
Tang Taizong has been enlightened by Zhu Bajie since that day, and he began to look for the people in the temples of the world, the Buddha name Xuanzang, what shocked Tang Taizong was that there were so many temples in the world, there was only one monk called Xuanzang, and this Xuanzang's father, Chen Guangrui, was the former champion of the new department, and the official worshiped the scholar of Wenyuan Palace.
Tang Taizong even learned that Xuanzang had been ordained since he was a child, and his virtues were profound. Thousands of classics, all-encompassing, the Buddha's immortal sound, no way, directly summoned Xuanzang, waiting for the arrival of Zhu Bajie.
In the palace, on the top of the Jinluan Palace, Tang Taizong sat on it, the yellow dragon robe was flying, the whole person was magnificent, and the momentum of the superior naturally emanated, on both sides of the hall, on one side was the military general, on the other hand was the civil official, and there was a bald monk standing in the middle, the monk looked quite handsome, and his face revealed a noble atmosphere.
"The poor monk Xuanzang visited His Majesty the King of Tang, I don't know why His Majesty the King of Tang sent someone to find the poor monk?"
This monk is Xuanzang, he has just saved his father and mother from the sea of suffering, but he still resolutely converted to Buddhism, and since then he has been out of the world, to be an outsider, to create the world, but he was invited by Tang Taizong, so he naturally did not dare not come.
A big man with a full beard and a fierce face, holding a long whip in his hand, shouted, "Bold bald donkey, why don't you kneel down to meet my king when you see me?" This person is Tang Taizong's general Wei Chi Gong, and his whole body is full of evil anger.
Xuanzang didn't think so, and said to Wei Chigong, "Amitabha, the little monk is an outsider, who worships his parents, heaven and earth, and the truth of the reclining Buddha in his life, not the mundane things of mortals!"
As soon as these words came out, the braid in Yu Chigong's hand was about to hit Xuanzang, and Tang Taizong on the top of the Jinluan Hall immediately drank, "General Yu Chi, don't be reckless, Master Xuanzang is a high-ranking monk, you step down!"
Tang Taizong stepped down from the throne of the Jinluan Palace, took Xuanzang's hand, and a faint fear appeared on his face, " The master doesn't know, in recent years, my Tang Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, the wind and rain are smooth, but I often dream of some unbelievable pictures, those old people often appear in dreams, causing me to often wake up in the middle of the night, and my body is getting worse and worse, a few days ago, an immortal enlightened me, asking me to find a person named Xuanzang, go to the West Heaven to receive the Mahayana scriptures, which can protect my Tang Kingdom for a hundred years, and can also transcend the soul!"
Xuanzang's face was shocked, he is a monk who has attained the Tao, and he knows very well that all he knows now is the Hinayana Sutra, which can only make people do good, but he can't exalt the dead, cross people's suffering, and can't cultivate immeasurable merits, but the Western Heaven Elysium is far away in the world, along the way, demons and monsters, blocking layers of layers, how easy is it to obtain the Mahayana Sutra?
"King Tang doesn't know, it's ashamed to say, the Buddhist scriptures are recorded, the Mahayana scriptures can transcend the soul of the dead and cultivate immeasurable merits, and I will only be able to pass the Hinayana Buddhism, and I can't replace Your Majesty to surpass the dead, I'm really ashamed!"
Xuanzang was originally a compassionate monk, Tang Taizong, as the emperor of a country, holding his hand like this is the supreme glory in his opinion, and he sighed with a debt at the moment.
Taizong saw Xuanzang's reaction, he is the king of a country, and his understanding of human nature can be said to be quite high, so he immediately said: "Xuanzang has this intention, I am very honored, from today on, I will give you the position of the left monk, the right monk, and the world's great exposition of the monk." ”
Although Xuanzang is an outsider and doesn't care about fame and fortune, this honor represents the honor of Buddhism, and he thanked him at the moment: "Thank you King Tang!"
Immediately, Taizong gave Xuanzang a colorful woven gold robe and a Pilu hat, telling him to worship the Buddha with his heart, go to the Huasheng Temple, and choose an auspicious day to start performing the scriptures.
......
The noise was endless in Chang'an City, the dawn of the morning had just come, and people were smiling with satisfaction on their faces, and they were talking to each other, as if something special had happened in Chang'an City.
"This big brother, why do I see Chang'an City so lively today?" Zhu Bajie casually found a middle-aged man and asked.
The middle-aged man stared at Zhu Bajie like a monster, and said with a smile: "Little brother, come from outside, you don't know yet, I am a monk in the Tang Dynasty, Master Xuanzang, today in the Huasheng Temple to teach Buddhism, even the emperor will be present in person, feel the creation of Buddhism, this is a rare event, little brother, I will go first, otherwise I am afraid that there will be no place for a while." After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he ran to the side.
Zhu Bajie touched his nose, smiled, and said in his heart: "It seems that "Journey to the West" is really a real record, but now it has changed a lot, but today it is no longer Guanyin Bodhisattva who transforms Xuanzang, but the old pig me, hahaha!"
At the moment, the pace was not slow, and I asked a person, but the person was still a little reluctant to say, after all, Zhu Bajie went to grab the position, but under Zhu Bajie's sincerity, he still said the location of the Huasheng Temple, and Zhu Bajie walked towards the Huasheng Temple.
Tang Taizong has already finished the early dynasty, led the civil and military officials, took the phoenix and dragon car, walked out of the Jinluan Treasure Palace, and went towards the Huasheng Temple, along the way, pedestrians greeted Tang Taizong, this scene looked at Zhu Bajie's eyes, it was also a little shocking, Tang Taizong is no wonder this person will be favored by God, and achieve an eternal emperor's industry.
The whole lineup is not strong, the auspicious atmosphere of the sky, the slight sun shines down, and the light breeze blows on the cheeks, which can be described as a clear sky, and the wind is smooth!
Thousands of officials are around the sanitation, the pennant hunting, the soldiers are mighty, and the civil officials are magnificent, but some civil officials are obviously not very satisfied with this grand event, these civil officials are basically advocating the philosophy of Confucianism, and they are naturally very unhappy with other Buddhism, but they dare not show it.
In front of the gate of the Huasheng Temple, the crowd was densely populated, and when Tang Taizong's Luan drove to the Huasheng Temple, everyone knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live the emperor!"
In the Huasheng Temple, many monks and monks also bowed down one after another, but only Master Xuanzang bent down slightly, and stood on the altar, Tang Taizong stood on top of Luanjia, and shouted: "Everyone, Master Xuanzang opened the altar for us to teach Buddhism, which can be described as a blessing in the world, but I am even more looking forward to the day, my Tang Kingdom can have Mahayana Buddhism, transcend the soul, and save the suffering!"
Xuanzang stood on the altar, if he didn't know what Tang Taizong meant at this moment, then he was not a monk who read the scriptures a lot, and replied at the moment: "Don't worry, King Tang, the poor monk will do his best to go to the west to receive the Mahayana scriptures." ”
Tang Taizong was even more happy, jumped off Luan Jia directly, walked towards Xuanzang, and pulled Xuanzang's arm, "Royal brother, from today on, you are my royal brother, I hope you can receive the Mahayana scriptures and rescue those dead souls!"
After speaking, Tang Taizong walked aside, surrounded by guards on the left and right, holding weapons, mighty and unyielding, and the civil official was behind him, quietly waiting for Xuanzang's opening of the altar to preach.
Xuanzang was on the altar, teaching Hinayana Buddhism, reciting the "Sutra of Birth and Death" for a while, talking about the "Anbang Tianbao Seal" for a while, and reading the "Persuasion Exercise Volume" for a while.
Zhu Bajie directly imitated the plot in "Journey to the West", he fell directly from the sky, and everyone was shocked, and they knelt down and shouted to the gods.
"Master Xuanzang, do you want to go to the West Heaven to receive the Mahayana scriptures, transcend the souls of the dead, and help the Tang Dynasty to adjust the wind and rain, and the country and the people are safe?" Zhu Bajie asked Xuanzang.
Xuanzang looked at Zhu Bajie standing in front of him, made a gesture, and folded his hands, "Amitabha, the little monk misses it very much, but the road to the West Heaven, there are demons and monsters, and bad people are constant, how to obtain the Mahayana scriptures?"
Zhu Bajie smiled slightly, "Master Xuanzang, you don't have to worry, I am the messenger of the West Heaven, I came to protect you to go to the West Heaven to receive the Mahayana scriptures, transcend the soul, and achieve the right result, I don't know if Master Xuanzang's Buddha heart is firm?"
When Xuanzang heard this, his face appeared happy, if Zhu Bajie didn't come, then he still had to go to get the Mahayana scriptures, because now he is already difficult to ride a tiger, and he has to go if he doesn't go.
"The poor monk is willing to receive the Mahayana scriptures with the donor, I don't know what the donor is called?" Xuanzang said to Zhu Bajie, his voice was very excited.
"Tang Taizong visited, that day the immortals came in a hurry, Taizong did not visit, but also hope to atone, if the gods can help my Tang Kingdom to obtain the Mahayana scriptures, the day of return, my Tang Kingdom will definitely build temples for the gods, establish ancestral halls, and all the people worship!" Tang Taizong's voice was very excited, he wanted to get rid of the nightmare as soon as possible.
Zhu Bajie nodded, "King Tang doesn't have to be polite, he will do this in the future, naturally I have my reason, I need to practice merit, and it is also a great merit to help the Tang Dynasty to transcend the soul, naturally I am very happy, Master Xuanzang continues to preach the scriptures, we will meet one day, Master Xuanzang just needs to go to the west to learn the scriptures!"
Zhu Bajie still came and went without a trace and disappeared above the altar.
......
"Tell me the Buddha that Zhu Bajie has successfully found the reincarnation of the golden cicada, and persuaded the other party to go to the West Heaven with him to receive the Mahayana scriptures!" an arhat stood in the middle of the Mahavira Hall and prayed to the closed eyes of the Buddha above.
The Lord of the Buddha opened his eyes, seemed to know everything, and nodded, "It's been hard all the way, Amitabha, return to the position!"
