You, a monster, still want to travel to the West?

At the spot, little Qingxin saw two Qingshan monks walking away along the street. Only then did he look up in confusion and ask, "Zhiming, is that a Bodhisattva?"

"correct."

Xiao Qingxin's eyes widened immediately, and she asked in shock, "You're trying to trick the Bodhisattva by pretending to be a monk?"

"What a pity! I can't really act like a high-ranking monk. It always feels a little off."

Xiao Qingxin glanced at the curious people on the street, pinched his ear, and said softly, "Zhiming, if you hadn't chanted the mantra and used your supernatural powers, I think you would have already cheated me of that precious cassock."

"I don't care. What kind of monk is he if he doesn't recite the mantra?"

"You, silly~"

"Qingxin, I'm smart."

"Good~"

Chapter 189: Without the truth, how can we know the whole picture?

The thirteenth year of Zhenguan, the third day of September.

Monks from all over the world began to lecture on various wonderful sutras at Huasheng Temple in Chang'an City, attracting countless believers and idle people who rushed to join in the fun.

As an idler among idlers, Xiao Qingxin naturally would not miss such a grand event. He bought a few meat buns and ate them while walking. He soon arrived at Huasheng Temple and saw -

The banners and pennants sway in the sky with colorful clouds, and the canopy reflects the sun like red lightning.

The brocade trees are shining brightly in the precious temple, and the fragrant clouds are penetrating the clear sky.

The golden image of the Buddha has a perfect appearance, and the jade-like face of the emperor is majestic.

The eminent monks recited the scriptures, and the common people fell silent and rushed to watch.

Summary: Li Shimin was present and the atmosphere in the Taoist temple was solemn.

Seeing this, Xiao Qingxin was not affected by the atmosphere. She listened to the Buddhist scriptures while eating the meat buns with relish.

After a while, the Buddhist chanting in the temple gradually stopped, and an old and frail Zen master sat on the altar and said to the crowd: "This is the order of the emperor. I have selected all the monks to practice Zen and preach the Dharma."

"Open the gate of convenience, and spread the boat of compassion."

"To save all living beings in the sea of ​​suffering, and to free them from the six realms of destinies."

……

On the stage, Master Fa Ming talked to everyone about the reason for the Dharma Assembly and his wish to save lonely souls.

Xiao Qingxin, who had known about this for a long time, didn't listen carefully. After finishing the buns, he looked around and found that two blue-robed monks, one old and one young, one master and one servant, had stood behind him without him noticing. They were Bodhisattva and Mu Zha.

Seeing this, Xiao Qingxin was about to wave and say hello, but she saw the Bodhisattva step out of the crowd, holding his head high and shouting: "Selling robes! Selling robes and staffs! Those who can recognize this treasure will not pay a penny! Those who don't recognize this treasure will not sell it for a high price!"

Xiao Qingxin tilted her head: "?"

The white snake in the girl's arms immediately poked its head out upon hearing the sound.

Inside and outside the temple, the Bodhisattva's sudden cry attracted everyone to look and talk.

Under the banners on the high platform, Li Shimin heard the voice and looked towards the two monks. As his eyes swept across, he inadvertently saw the cute little Qingxin behind them. After a moment of hesitation, he quickly issued an order: "Please invite them into the hall!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an attendant came down from the stage and invited the three men and the snake to come out. He left all the monks behind and led them into the main hall of the temple to speak.

In the main hall of the temple, Li Shimin sat alone on a high platform, looking at the man and the snake below. He asked tentatively: "Today I have asked the monks to save the lonely souls of the underworld. You two immortals have come here, but is there anything wrong with my actions?"

Below the stage, the ministers exchanged glances, somewhat dissatisfied with the emperor's mention of immortals, but they still looked at the man and the snake as if they had seen their saviors.

During these days, Li Shimin was worried about his eminent monks and Dharma assemblies every day, and no one could persuade him to stop. He even almost came up with an absurd law to destroy monks and cut off their arms.

I didn't expect that after meeting them today, His Majesty actually reflected on himself. This is like a savior falling from the sky.

Noticing this, Xia Zhiming flicked his tail and said, "Saving lonely souls is a good thing, but building a temple and recruiting monks is a waste of money and manpower. One visit is enough. Buddhism doesn't know how to govern the world. No matter how much you protect Buddha, you can't save your kingdom."

The ministers around were startled for a moment when they saw Baishe speak, but when they understood the meaning of his words, their eyes lit up. They quickly looked at Li Shimin, who raised his hand with a slightly puzzled look and asked:

"Some time ago, when I entered the underworld, Judge Cui told me that the Dharma Assembly would teach the world to be virtuous and would ensure the longevity of my descendants and the stability of my country. Could it be that Judge Cui was deceiving me?"

Xia Zhiming complained: "You believe such nonsense."

Xiao Qingxin couldn't help laughing: "Puff~"

Mu Zha's face turned red and his body trembled.

Guanyin Bodhisattva closed her eyes and shook her head helplessly.

Li Shimin's face flushed upon hearing this. He looked awkwardly at the Bodhisattva who had transformed into an old monk. Seeing the treasure in his hand gleaming brightly, he changed the subject and said, "Old Zen Master, you've come to my Dharma Assembly to sell it. I wonder how much you want for this treasure?"

The Bodhisattva stood at the foot of the stage, without bowing, and replied, "The brocade robes cost five thousand taels, and the nine-ring staff costs two thousand taels."

"What's so good about your treasure that it's worth so much silver?"

The Bodhisattva held the cassock in his hands and showed it to the crowd, saying loudly to the crowd: "Those who wear this treasure will have all the gods pay homage to them when they are still, and will have the seven Buddhas accompanying them when they are active. They will not fall into the abyss or hell."

After saying this, the Bodhisattva raised his staff and said loudly: "Whoever holds this treasure will not be afraid of snakes or insects, nor tigers or wolves."

After hearing this, Li Shimin thought for a moment and then summoned Master Faming. After exempting him from formalities, he raised his hand and said, "Master, this wandering monk has a brocade cassock and a nine-ring staff, both of which are treasures. I am willing to buy them and give them to you."

Master Faming glanced at the dazzling Buddha treasure, clasped his hands and chanted, "Amitabha, my time is drawing to a close, and I have no use for such treasures. Your Majesty, please show me your kindness, and be more kind than I am about to dress myself."

Xia Zhiming immediately raised his head upon hearing this, and together with several immortals and Buddhas in the hall, he looked at the old man who was originally going to become Xuanzang's master, and saw him -

Time has carved a haggard face, and the bright eyes are weathered.

The Zen mind is as still as water, and the Buddha's light is as bright as a hall.

Summary: A dying monk.

At this time, Li Shimin asked the Bodhisattva tentatively: "Old Zen Master, you once said that wearing your precious cassock would prevent one from falling into the cycle of reincarnation. Is that true?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva glanced at Master Faming, who was looking at her in surprise, stroked his beard, and said in a clear voice: "If you die wearing my brocade robes, you can go to the Pure Land, sit under my Buddha, listen to meditation and chant scriptures, and no longer suffer the pain of reincarnation."

"Oh?"

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, then smiled at Master Faming and said, "Master, although I don't know whether this treasure is real or not, I'd rather believe it exists than not. I will buy it for you so that you can practice cultivation for the rest of your life."

Master Faming's eyes flickered for a moment, and he clasped his hands together and chanted, "Amitabha, thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

In the hall, Xiao Qingxin's cherry lips opened and closed slightly. After thinking for a moment, she said nothing. Mu Zha beside her also shook his head helplessly.

On the girl's shoulder, Xia Zhiming swung his tail and exchanged glances with Guanyin Bodhisattva. When he turned around, he saw Master Faming clasping his hands together and bowing, saying, "Your Majesty, I have a request. I beg Your Majesty to grant it."

Li Shimin: "Master, please speak, please do not bow."

Master Faming stood up and spoke to the crowd, saying, "In the past, Emperor Ming had a dream about a golden man. He sent Cai Zhonglang to the Western Regions to invite the Venerables Shemoteng and Zhu Falan to leave the true scriptures at the White Horse Temple."

"However, during the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, all Buddhist temples were burned and looted, causing the true scriptures to be lost and countless errors and omissions."

"Since then, monks from the White Horse Temple in our Eastern Land have vowed to journey to the Western Paradise to seek the true Dharma. Three hundred years have passed, and nine generations of monks have gone by, yet not a single one has returned."

"Today, Master Xuanzang of the White Horse Temple discussed with me my wish to once again embark on the road of no return."

Having said this, Master Faming looked around at everyone in the hall and saw——

The ministers were amazed and the immortal listened quietly.

The Bodhisattva was delighted and the emperor sighed.

Seeing this, Master Faming knelt down and bowed, saying in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I beg you to grant me the pass, the brocade cassock, and the nine-ring staff."

"The holy monk You will go to the West again and fetch the true Buddhist scriptures."

"Okay... I'll spend my entire life practicing."

Chapter 190 Three years and three years

"Master, please stand up!"

On the high platform, Li Shimin listened to Master Fa Ming's request and asked him to stand up, then replied: "Since this is Master Fa Ming's wish, please go and ask him to come in. Let me see if he is worthy of receiving this treasure."

After he finished speaking, Master Fa Ming took the order and went out to convey the Tang Emperor's oral instructions.

In the temple, all the monks opened their eyes upon hearing this. Master Xuanzang also stood up from his cushion, looked around, exchanged glances with the other monks, and said with a smile, "I am leaving now."

After saying this, he did not wait for the monks to respond. He held his head high and took a square step. Under the expectant gaze of Master Fa Ming and the monks, he crossed the three hundred steps and rushed to the Holy One.

At this time, in the main hall of Huasheng Temple, Xia Zhiming and the others turned their heads and looked at Master Xuanzang who walked in from outside the hall door, and saw him——

Her eyes are as clear as autumn water, and her face is as bright as a jade plate.

Have great ambitions and walk steadily and firmly.

Summary: Jin Chanzi looks reliable.

In the hall, Guanyin Bodhisattva naturally recognized Jin Chanzi at a glance, and nodded in satisfaction at his appearance.

Li Shimin, sitting on the high throne, had the same expression. After Xuanzang finished his greetings, he asked with a smile, "Master Xuanzang, I heard that you are going to the Western Paradise to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. I wonder what you have to take that journey of no return."

Master Xuanzang glanced at the people in the hall. Seeing the man and the snake, he was puzzled for a moment, then responded loudly: "Your Majesty, the road is full of difficulties, but there are always fools willing to go. The journey is full of dangers, but there are always fools willing to go."

"I have no special abilities, only a pair of legs. Teach me to travel across thousands of mountains."

"With a broken body, I can travel through thousands of rivers."

"A pair of arms, teach me how to drive away insects and wolves."

"A pair of foolish eyes taught me to recognize only the West."

"A foolish heart makes me never regret even if I die."

At this point, Master Xuanzang bowed his head and saluted again, saying, "Your Majesty, this is all I have, and I think it is enough."

In the hall, all the ministers were amazed when they heard this. Li Shimin nodded when he heard this. However, Xia Zhiming couldn't help but teasing: "Xuanzang, where is your Buddhism?"

Xuanzang clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Donor, the Dharma is in the West."

"speak English."

"I don't know how Buddhism can help me, so I plan to ask the Buddha."

"Le~ Go quickly, and when you discuss Zen with the Buddha, remember to call me!"

Xia Zhiming rubbed Xiao Qingxin's cheek happily, and looked to the side with his snake tongue sticking out. He saw Mu Zha's face full of shock, and the Bodhisattva nodded in admiration.

At this time, Li Shimin heard the White Snake say this, and without hesitation, he raised his hand and said: "Then old Zen master, give the cassock and staff to the master to wear, and I will buy them for you."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, the Bodhisattva and Xuanzang naturally offered the clothes to the monk while the other put them on. Everyone in the hall also looked at the holy monk who had changed his clothes, and saw -

The majestic face is so elegant and graceful, and the Buddha's robe can be tailored to the body.
