At the beginning of the game

Chapter 567
Chapter 566
Tang Huang Li Shimin frowned slightly, this was the first time in his life that this happened.

Soon, a bodhisattva appeared on the lotus platform.

The bodhisattva moved forward with one hand, dragging the jade bottle in his hand, and lightly squeezed the magic formula with the other hand.

The bodhisattva's Dharma appearance is solemn, and his face is neither happy nor sad. In front of the bodhisattva, there are thousands of colors and auspicious colors.

Tang Emperor Li Shimin's heart moved. Although he didn't know what kind of Bodhisattva it was, he still bowed lightly and said, "I have seen a Bodhisattva."

"Amitabha, the emperor, there is no need to be polite."

The Bodhisattva opened his eyes slightly and looked at Emperor Tang Li Shimin with a smile on his face.

Naturally, this Bodhisattva is not someone else, but the Nanhai Guanyin.

This time he came to Tang Emperor Li Shimin, naturally also for the westbound business.

"Bodhisattva, you are..."

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin naturally didn't need to bow to anyone, even if he saw a fairy or god, he only needed to bow slightly.

Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was not a Buddhist believer, so he naturally didn't know this Guanyin master.

Guanyin of the South China Sea smiled slightly, and said softly, "I am the Guanyin of the South China Sea."

"Oh!" Emperor Tang Li Shimin suddenly realized, and said: "Li Shimin, I have seen Guanyin Bodhisattva."

"Human Sovereign doesn't need to be too polite." Nanhai Guanyin laughed again.

Most of the spread of Buddhism in the Eastern Tang Dynasty was fueled by Avalokitesvara of the South China Sea.

Naturally, this is also the task given to Nanhai Guanyinbu by the two in the west, to let her spread the teachings of Lingshan to the east and pave the way for the westward journey.

This time is a critical moment for the Western religion to officially enter the Eastern land, and the two Western saints are naturally very concerned.

Guanyin of the South China Sea was naturally very cautious when doing this.

However, in the process of spreading Buddhism, she deliberately interspersed her own image in it.

So far, the pictogram of Avalokitesvara has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people throughout the Eastern Tang Dynasty. Even if you are not a Buddhist believer, you know that apart from the Buddha, there is another Avalokitesvara in Buddhism.

"May I ask Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, why did you come to me this time?"

Although Tang Emperor Li Shimin hadn't expected that he was in a dream, he also knew that the Buddhist god was looking for him, and it was absolutely impossible for him to just chat.

"I'm looking for the Emperor Renhuang this time to discuss something." The Guanyin smiled slightly and said, "I heard that there is an eminent monk named Xuanzang in Chang'an of the Great Tang Dynasty. Does the Emperor Renmin know about it?"

Upon hearing the words, Tang Emperor Li Shimin immediately smiled and said, "Master Xuanzang's Buddhist teachings are profound, and I will naturally know them."

"I don't know what the purpose of the Bodhisattva asking Master Xuanzang?"

"Amitabha." Avalokitesvara chanted a Buddha's name, and then said softly: "A few days ago, Xuanzang reached the level of cultivation. According to the order of the Buddha, the deity once entrusted Xuanzang with a dream."

"The Lord Buddha promised that as long as Master Xuanzang continues to practice, after a hundred years, he will be reborn in bliss and ascend to the Western Pure Land."

After Avalokitesvara finished speaking, Tang Emperor Li Shimin was slightly taken aback, and then said: "The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss that the Buddhists asked, does it really exist?"

Avalokitesvara laughed lightly when he heard the words, and said, "Naturalism exists, otherwise Buddhism spread so widely, wouldn't it be a lie?"

Tang Emperor Li Shimin nodded slightly, and said: "Master Xuanzang is indeed profound in Buddhism, and he was able to induce the Lord Buddha to issue a decree in person, which is amazing."

"However..." Avalokitesvara looked at Tang Emperor Li Shimin and said, "That Xuanzang rejected the Buddha's decree."

"Why?" Tang Huang Li Shimin was taken aback again, completely unexpected that this would happen.

"Xuanzang clearly stated that although Buddhism has been introduced into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it has not been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

"A few days ago, Xuanzang had a detailed discussion with the Emperor, which also clarified the concerns in the Emperor's heart."

"Nowadays there are many things in the world. As a Buddhist disciple, Xuanzang can't take care of worldly affairs. However, stopping the extravagance and saving all living beings is what Xuanzang really wants to do."

"It was also because of the conversation with the Emperor that Xuanzang clarified his thoughts, so he rejected the Buddha's decree."

"Master Xuanzang... really made such a sacrifice?"

Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, did not expect these words from Guanyin. He did not expect that Xuanzang would give up the chance of being reborn in bliss because of just talking with Xuanzang for a night.

This is the opportunity that countless monks dream of.

But Xuanzang chose another path, full of hardships!

"Therefore, I asked Lord Buddha for instructions, and Lord Buddha also issued a decree."

The Nanhai Guanyin continued: "At this moment, there are gaps in the Buddhist scriptures spread in the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and not all the Buddhist scriptures descended from the Western Mountains."

"But Xuanzang was able to discover this loophole in his practice, and he was able to combine it with the affairs of the whole world, which shows that Xuanzang is extremely talented."

"Therefore, the Lord Buddha issued a decree. If Xuanzang is willing, he can go to Lingshan to seek the scriptures."

"If he can reach Lingshan, the Lord Buddha will definitely send down the scriptures and bestow them on the entire Eastern Land of Tang Dynasty."

"The Lingshan Buddhist scriptures are incomparably mysterious. If the scriptures are brought back, they will definitely help the Emperor, achieve prosperity in the world, and save all sentient beings."

"Many matters can also be easily solved."

After Nanhai Guanyin finished speaking, she looked at Emperor Tang Li Shimin with a smile, waiting for his answer.

More than half of what Guanyin of the South China Sea said was true.

Xuanzang really went to Lingshan to seek the scriptures, but this has nothing to do with the Great Tang Dynasty in the East and Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

He wanted to save all sentient beings, but he was not from the perspective of the Tang Dynasty, but from the perspective of the suffering of the people.

But Avalokitesvara of the South China Sea interweaves all these together from a clever angle, making Tang Emperor Li Shimin naturally think that it is because of his conversation with Xuanzang that Xuanzang gave up the Western Heaven God that is now at his fingertips.

It was also because of him, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, that Xuanzang made up his mind to walk this extremely difficult road.

Therefore, after hearing the words of Guanyin, Emperor Tang Li Shimin immediately fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Tang Emperor Li Shimin raised his head, looked at Guanyin, and said softly: "Master Xuanzang treats me so well, I am willing to give up such a position to help me... I have nothing to say."

"Amitabha." Nanhai Guanyin saw that Tang Emperor Li Shimin's thoughts had moved, and then said softly: "The Emperor does not need to blame himself, this is Xuanzang's own choice, although there is a cause and effect with the Emperor, but it is also Xuanzang's. Great fortune."

"If he can really reach Lingshan and retrieve the scriptures, it will be of great benefit to the entire Tang Dynasty and Xuanzang himself."

Tang Emperor Li Shimin sighed softly when he heard the words, and then said: "Master Avalokitesvara came to find me, compared to this matter, is there anything I can help?"

"Amitabha, the Emperor is clearly aware." Avalokitesvara smiled and said, "And there is no need for the Emperor to do anything more, but when Xuanzang proposes the matter of going to Lingshan, he also asks the Emperor to support him."

"Naturally!" Emperor Tang Li Shimin said immediately after hearing the words: "Whether you want people, money, or anything, I will fully support you!"
