Chapter 1408 Opening
Li Shimin also became nervous. He heard a sentence that could save the souls of the dead, that is, it could help him deal with the souls of his two brothers. Li Shimin was very concerned about this matter.
"Master, I wonder if you know this Mahayana Buddhism and can you help me save the souls of my two brothers?" Li Shimin said to the old monk.
"The Mahayana Buddhism can naturally help Your Majesty to save the souls of the two brothers. However, the poor monk cannot practice the Mahayana Buddhism in Nanzhan Buzhou. The scriptures have not been spread eastward. If this method is used, it may harm the peace of heaven." The old monk He said helplessly.
Daoxi was speechless. This kind of Buddhism was really trying to sell dog meat. It just wanted Chen Xuanzang to go to Hezhou, Xiniu to seek scriptures. He even said that he was hurting Tianhe.
"Ahem. You said that Mahayana Buddhism can help him transcend the souls of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji? Monks don't lie, but you thought it through." Daoxi directly took off a charm from his body.
The old monk suddenly trembled. He was none other than the incarnation of Guanyin. He didn't notice that Daoxi was here just now because there was a spell on Daoxi's body that blocked his breath, making it impossible for Guanyin to sense it.
The last time Guanyin went to Hezhou, Xiniu, he told Tathagata Buddha about Daoxi's troubles during the journey to the West, but in exchange he was tolerated if he could. Of course, he could be tolerated if he couldn't. Now Guanyin looks at Daoxi with a different expression. With a trace of amusement, it was obvious that Daoxi and Li Shimin could not get along.
"Monks don't tell lies. The words of the poor monk just now are somewhat wrong. Although Mahayana Buddhism can help His Majesty transcend the souls of the dead, it requires a certain amount of cultivation, which the poor monk cannot do. I am afraid that only the Buddha can do it." Guanyin declined tactfully. Li Shimin asked for help.
Without waiting for what Li Shimin was saying, Guanyin directly revealed his true form, the Buddha's light shone everywhere, and the Bodhisattva's body appeared, while the little monk next to him also showed the body of Muzha.
"Chen Xuanzang, you are a man of destiny. You go to the Great Leiyin Temple in the west to worship Buddha and ask for the Tripitaka of Mahayana Buddhism to bless your country and the country of the Tang Dynasty. There are many demons and monsters along this road, and there are many dangers. If you don't go ahead, you have to consider it. Okay." After Guanyin finished speaking, she flew up with Muzha and slowly flew away from the Jinluan Hall.
All the ministers, Chen Xuanzang and Li Shimin all knelt down in the direction where Guanyin was leaving and said, "Best farewell to the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva."
Only Daoxi and Chen Guangrui were standing. Originally, Chen Guangrui wanted to kneel down. After all, his emperor was kneeling. If he didn't kneel down, it would be treason. But Daoxi stopped him. After all, Chen Guangrui was Daoxi's best friend. , how can you kneel down in front of a traitor?
After a moment, everyone stood up, and Li Shimin came directly to Daoxi's side and knelt down: "The little king didn't know the true appearance of the immortal, so he bumped into the immortal, and asked the immortal to help him save the souls of the dead. "
Those ministers also knelt down before Daoxi. After all, the king had knelt down. If the ministers did not kneel down, it would be treason and treason, punishing the nine tribes. As for the reason why Chen Guangrui did not kneel down, it was because Chen Guangrui had Daoxi to stop him. This is Li Shimin. Can't say anything.
"Brother Dao, I beg you, please forgive Your Majesty once!" Chen Guangrui knelt down and said to Daoxi directly.
Daoxi helped Chen Guangrui up and smiled. What he was waiting for was Chen Guangrui's words. He wanted Li Shimin to owe Chen Guangrui a favor, and he also wanted these ministers to know that there was a great god behind Chen Guangrui and they should not be offended.
Then Daoxi looked at Chen Xuanzang again. The meaning was very obvious. If you don't kneel down even after your father has knelt down, you will be asking for a beating. But Chen Xuanzang was very sensible and knelt down directly without any hesitation. Even he did it every day. The Guanyin Bodhisattva who worshiped him was so respectful to Daoxi. How could he dare to be rude?
"Forget it! For the sake of Brother Chen, I will bypass you once." After finishing speaking, Daoxi looked at Qin Shubao and Yuchi Gong, took out a pardon order, split it in two, and turned into two white jade plates. They were thrown to Qin Shubao and Yuchi Gong respectively.
Seeing Qin Shubao and Yuchi Gong stunned, Daoxi said directly: "Today, I will confer gods on behalf of heaven and make you door gods. You only need to stand guard at the gate of Li Shimin's palace for three days. The dead souls will retreat when they realize the difficulty, and they will naturally be reincarnated. .”
"The common people thank the immortal." Qin Shubao and Yuchi Gong were overjoyed. They did not expect that they would be destined to become immortals today. Although they are door gods, they are still gods after all, and they are still the gods of heaven.
After doing all this, Daoxi left the Jinluan Palace. He knew that what was left was that Chen Xuanzang went to the West to seek scriptures. Daoxi still knew something about Chen Xuanzang's character. Without pressure, he would not have gone to the West.
Sure enough, after Daoxi left, Li Shimin directly made Chen Xuanzang his imperial disciple, and gave him the title of Tang Sanzang. He prepared horses for Tang Sanzang, so that Tang Sanzang would go to the West to seek scriptures that day. After all, this Mahayana Buddhism could ensure the peace and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the people. .
Chen Guangrui also agreed with this matter. After all, chanting sutras and chanting Buddha's name at home is not as good as Datang doing something practical.
Tang Sanzang felt helpless in his heart! Although he likes Buddhism, the Buddhism in Nanzhan Buzhou is enough for him to study. Why doesn't he want to risk going to the West to seek scriptures? Guanyin also said that there were many demons and ghosts along the way, and he didn't know if he could come back.
But if he backs off at this time, it will undoubtedly touch Li Shimin's bottom line. Not to mention killing the nine tribes, beheading is inevitable, and his father Chen Guangrui seems to want him to go.
In desperation, Tang Sanzang could only leave Chang'an City on horseback with two followers, and walked all the way to the west.
The moment Tang Sanzang left Chang'an City, the entire earthly immortal world was filled with calamity energy. The section of the heavenly road from Nanzhan Buzhou to Xiniu Hezhou Lingshan was densely populated with demons and ghosts, and they were all affected by calamity energy. Everyone became extremely bloodthirsty.
At the same time, a rumor spread on the heavenly road, that is, Tang Sanzang, who traveled from the Eastern Tang Dynasty to the Western Heaven to worship Buddha and seek scriptures, was the reincarnation of the tenth holy Buddha. Eating a piece of meat can lead to immortality and obtain With the right result, you will never enter into calamity from now on.
In the sky above Chang'an City, Hongyun sat on a bed of clouds, looked at Daoxi in front of him and said, "How is this Buddhist practice?"
"To be honest, kid, it doesn't matter at all. It's full of loopholes. If Taozu hadn't agreed to the great prosperity of the West, I'm afraid the journey to the West would have been impossible." Dao Xi said disdainfully.
"So you have to understand the truth. If your wrist is tough, then what you say will be true. The reason why you can thrive in the lower world is not because of being a father and your mother." Hongyun's approach to Buddhism , also disdainful.
