Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty Royal Family in Journey to the West

Chapter 76 See Xuanzang for the first time in Huasheng Temple

In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, at the age of Jisi, on the third day of Jiaxu in September, on the day of Kuimao, Emperor Taizong, with his military officials, left the Jinluan Palace in a dragon chariot with a phoenix chariot, and went to the temple to offer incense. 【】

On this day, the entire Tang Dynasty paid attention to Huasheng Temple, and almost the whole world paid attention to this grand event, because this was the beginning of the whole Journey to the West.

Because of the arrival of the Emperor Renhuang at Huasheng Temple, there are thousands of Ruiqi and ten thousand auspicious lights covering the entire temple, and several purple lucks are gathered. Almost the luck of the whole world is brewing here, and the lucks are either purple or red. The pillars soared straight into the sky, and these were princes and ministers. Surrounded by purple air, a huge five-clawed golden dragon swam around these lords of luck, showing a majestic and majestic aura.

Flags fluttered all around.Several imperial guards lined up majestically around.Guarding Taizong and the Minister of Martial Arts, the majestic and evil aura seemed to condense into a mass above the martial arts arena, and the huge aura field was invisible to the naked eye.The tossing and rolling aura protects Taizong and the minister of things.

In front of the huge golden statue of Buddha in Huasheng Temple, Emperor Taizong looked majestic, and he just paid a light salute, and other ministers of martial arts also held incense to see.Taizong is the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty, enjoying the luck of millions of living beings in the Tang Dynasty. Although the Buddha is noble, he cannot be worshiped by him.What's more, it's just a golden body. If Taizong prostrates, the whole golden body Buddha statue will probably crack because it can't bear it.

Most of the other military ministers are great Confucianists, who say that gentlemen respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them. The ritual of worship is just respect and faith.Facing the golden body of the Buddha and the numerous Buddha statues, Li Chong also paid a faint salute along with the princes to express their respect.

After the salutation was over, everyone's attention was focused on the huge pulpit of Huasheng Temple. On the pulpit, a super-mortal and refined figure, elegant and elegant, like a banished fairy coming to the world, and at the same time exuded a touch of elegance, showing A good level of Confucianism.

This figure is the protagonist of the entire Journey to the West, the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, Master Xuanzang.On the podium, he was reciting Buddhist scriptures loudly and preaching the scriptures with a majestic expression. At this time, he was wearing the cassock and tin staff presented by Guanyin.

Wearing Jinlan cassock, holding a tin staff in hand, preaching scriptures, the whole body is radiant, and the multicolored lights condense to form small magic circles and seals, and there are countless phantoms of Buddhas circling around.It seems that there are fairies scattering flowers, and the stars are floating and sinking.The scriptures resounded through the heaven and earth, like a fairy Buddha coming to the world, showing the temperament of a fairy Buddha.For a time, the entire Huasheng Temple was surrounded by Buddhist sounds, and the Buddha's light shone everywhere.

Li Chong looked at Master Xuanzang from a distance, and was shocked deeply.All of a sudden, the image of the stupid Tang Seng and the reticent Tang Seng on TV was subverted.I can't help but scold those screenwriters for messing around.

I couldn't help admiring in my heart that these characters really should be the protagonists to learn from the scriptures, and this person was influenced by both Buddhism and Confucianism since he was a child.The cultivation of Confucianism is not lower than that of Buddhism, and because he grew up in the atmosphere of Confucianism in the Tang Dynasty, some Confucian ethical concepts are also deeply rooted. These are also the reasons why some great Confucianists in the Tang Dynasty have relatively little opposition.

Xuanzang, who was preaching the Dharma on the platform, and a group of monks who accompanied him to listen to the lecture, saw Taizong's arrival, gradually stopped preaching, and came to visit together.

Xuanzang stepped down from the podium step by step, his expression calm, his eyes filled with a trace of composure and composure.

Li Chong, who was following Taizong, looked at Xuanzang, who was approaching gradually, with a complex look on his face. This man was not alarmed, and kept a distance between his advances and retreats. A person who has not yet recovered the memory and cultivation of his previous life, how can he be underestimated by everyone in the world if he has such a demeanor in just a few years.

Moreover, on the West Paradise Road, it is not easy for them to control three powerful people with mortal bodies and successfully complete the great cause of learning Buddhist scriptures in the West Paradise.

There is this person, conspired by Emperor Taizong. After recovering his memory and cultivation, he will definitely be able to protect Datang One or Two. Unfortunately, this person must not belong to Datang. A battle of wits and courage between people has been done.Moreover, Li Chong would not entrust Datang and his own fate to others.

Thinking of this, there is also a fearful fighting spirit in my heart. With such a character, how can the road to the west be lonely.Looking at Xuanzang's eyes is also full of monstrous ambition.

Xuanzang, who was in the distance, quickly walked up to Taizong, with a calm expression mixed with a trace of respect, said the Buddha's name, and dedicated the Jigu Bang to Taizong.

Looking at Xuanzang, who was presented on the list, Taizong looked majestic, and looked at the Master Xuanzang who he was going to worship indifferently. His expression did not reveal the slightest charm or meaning, but he smiled faintly, and said to the monks.

"Stay true to your alchemy, and don't neglect Buddhist affairs. After your achievements are complete, everyone will return their blessings. I will reward you heavily, and you will never work in vain."

Just a faint smile like this, immediately made all the monks feel like a spring breeze, and all thanked him greatly.

Even Xuanzang, whose expression remained calm, was infected, and his expression changed a little.A pair of bright eyes couldn't help looking at Taizong.It was back to normal immediately.

"I became a monk since I was a child and was raised by Buddhism. I have a predestined relationship with Buddha since I was a child. I have read a lot of books since I was a child, but I love studying scriptures very much. I vowed to dedicate everything to the Buddha. The only thing I learned in my heart is the Buddha. Everything else is false. "

Thinking of this, Xuanzang's expression returned to normal, making Taizong and Li Chong secretly admire.

As for Taizong's ability, perhaps only Li Chong knew of everyone. After Taizong accepted the ideas of Wanmin, the way of emperor became more and more profound.

After thanking Emperor Taizong, Xuanzang continued to preach on the Buddhist scriptures. This short contact made the three of them feel very special. Looking at the solemn Xuanzang standing on the podium, both Taizong and Li Chong knew that the main show was only now. start.It's time for Guanyin to come to enlighten the present Master Xuanzang to go to the West to learn scriptures.

At this time, Guanyin, who had been allowed by Emperor Taizong to enter Chang'an City, was quite aggrieved these few days. The huge Chang'an City gathered the luck of the Tang Dynasty and was sheltered by the thoughts of hundreds of millions of Tang people. When a warrior sits in command, he has no power to fight back. Once he reveals a little bit of mana, he will be questioned by a group of academicians of the Imperial Academy who are silent and disorderly.These damned Confucianists obviously have no magic power, let alone strong strength, but with the awe-inspiring aura of their hearts, they can suppress themselves in this Chang'an city.

However, the water and land conference was held today, and the Buddhist atmosphere in the city was a little strong. Confucianism was limited by regulations and could not be suppressed deliberately.

Said to Mu Zha next to him: "Today, the water and land will meet, and one seven will follow seven seven. That's enough. Come with me to enlighten the golden cicada."

"Yes, Bodhisattva."

Hearing the words of Master Avalokitesvara, Mu Zha looked overjoyed, but in the past few days, his majestic immortal has been suppressed by a group of ordinary people like ants, and under their control. When he was furious, he couldn't solve it. He could only sulk. Now I'm finally leaving here.When you go out, you must let this group of mortals be well.

The two soon arrived at the Huasheng Temple, the sound of the immortals in the temple was loud, and the Buddha's chant was clamoring. Looking at the appearance of the eminent monks of Xuanzang's school, Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled secretly.Sure enough, he is my Buddha.

Looking at Avalokitesvara and Mu Zha, Li Chong's heart moved. They really came. Now you are waiting for you to enlighten the golden cicada and go to the west to learn scriptures. Taizong and many ministers will naturally know, otherwise they will definitely not let the two monks People come to make trouble.

Avalokitesvara slowly stood beside Duobao Terrace, looking at Master Xuanzang, suddenly shouted loudly:

"Then monk, you only talk about the Hinayana teachings, can you talk about the Mahayana?"

Xuanzang was overjoyed when he heard the words, as if he had a feeling in his heart.His indifferent expression suddenly changed drastically, and he immediately turned over and jumped off the stage, raised his hands to the Bodhisattva, and said, "Master, father, this disciple has lost sight and committed many sins. All the monks in front of me are teaching the Hinayana teachings, but they don't know the Mahayana teachings." How is the teaching method?"

The Bodhisattva said: "Your Hinayana teachings can't save the dead from exaltation, but can only be muddy and light. I have the Tripitaka of Mahayana Buddhism, which can surpass the dead to ascend to heaven, can save the difficult from suffering, can cultivate the body of longevity, and can do things for the future. go."

When asked by Guanyin Bodhisattva, Li Chong knew that the meat scene was coming, so he played quietly.

"Then, why are you disturbing my Buddhist affairs?"

Looking at Guanyin Bodhisattva, Taizong asked in a commanding voice.Although he already knows everything, this Jin Chanzi is a mortal in this life, and to learn from the Western Paradise, Jin Chanzi must use the sincerity of a mortal to obtain the scriptures and spread the teachings of Buddhism, otherwise he only needs to send a The great power of Buddhism can save hundreds of millions of mortals.However, this also loses the meaning of Buddhist scriptures, and even loses great merit.

So Taizong had to cooperate a little bit.
