Chapter 106 Journey to the West opens

However, it is said that 13 years after Li Shimin ascended the throne, the Tang Dynasty became more and more prosperous, and the country was smooth.

The prestige of the Eastern Tang Dynasty not only spread throughout the southern prefecture, but also the small countries in Xiniu Hezhou have also heard that the Tang Dynasty can be called far-known. Every year, envoys from small countries from all sides come to the Tang Dynasty to meet the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, has also become a world-famous holy city. Every day, merchants from other countries come to look for business opportunities. * Items that the Tang Dynasty does not have.

However, it is said that on the West Gate Street of Chang'an City, there is a Taoist priest named Yuan Shoucheng. Yuan Shoucheng is the uncle of Yuan Tianguan, who is the Qintian supervisor of the dynasty. He is proficient in divination and set up a stall there to earn some money every day.

When there is a fisherman surnamed Zhang fishing in the Jinghe River, and there must be a bumper harvest every day, because he wants to find Yuan Shoucheng every day to calculate where to fish will have a bumper harvest.

When the Dragon King of Jinghe learned about it, he was furious and secretly said: According to his algorithm, no matter how many aquariums there are in my river, they are not enough for those fishermen to fish. This is really hateful.

So he disguised himself as a scribe and went to smash the field of Yuan Shoucheng. He came to Yuan Shoucheng's gossip stall and asked Yuan Shoucheng to calculate whether it would rain tomorrow? If it rains, how much will it rain?

And make a bet with Yuan Shoucheng. If Yuan Shoucheng's calculation is right, the Dragon King will give him 50 taels of gold. If it's wrong, he is not allowed to set up a stall to calculate.

Yuan Shoucheng calculated that there will be rain tomorrow, with a total of three feet, three inches and 48 points of rain.

The Dragon King of Jinghe did not believe it, but soon after returning to the Dragon Palace, a heavenly messenger came to announce the decree that he would rain tomorrow. The size of the rain was the best calculated by Yuan Shoucheng.

The Dragon King of Jinghe was afraid of losing the bet, so he changed the rain points without authorization.

The next day after the rain, he went to Yuan Shoucheng to settle accounts, but Yuan Shoucheng broke his identity as the Dragon King of Jinghe and told him that he had changed the rainfall stipulated by the imperial edict without authorization, which had violated the heavenly rule and was about to be a disaster.

The Dragon King of Jinghe was frightened and immediately respectfully asked Yuan Shoucheng for advice on how to save his life.

Yuan Shoucheng pointed out that the prisoner who beheaded the dragon king of Jinghe was Cao Weizheng, and asked the dragon king of Jinghe to ask Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, for help.

The Dragon King of Jinghe went ahead and got Li Shimin's promise.

The next day, the Dragon King of Jinghe was taken to the dragon platform by the heavenly soldiers. The heavenly court ordered Wei Zheng to be executed. Li Shimin was playing chess with Wei Zheng, trying to delay Wei Zheng.

But I didn't expect that Wei Zheng actually fell asleep. In his sleep, the soul traveled out and killed the Dragon King of Jinghe.

The Dragon King of Jinghe got Li Shimin's promise. He thought he could escape his life, but he still died. The dragon king of Jinghe, who was resentful, haunted Li Shimin day and night and asked him for his life.

Li Shimin's soul flew into the hell in the panic of the Dragon King of Jinghe.

Being fooled by the judge of hell, the king of hell was fooled and scared repeatedly, making him believe that his sin is profound and that he believes in karma. Only by doing good deeds and respecting Buddhism can he eliminate disasters, surpass the wronged soul, and keep the safety of the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

After returning from his soul, Li Shimin immediately granted amnesty to the world, released many prisoners and elderly women in the palace, and asked them to go home to reunite with their families.

He came out of the imperial list again, summoned the virtuous monks, and held a water and land conference, in order to transcend the souls of the dead and keep the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Mage Xuanzang was selected. His name is Chen Xuanzang. His grandfather was Yin Kaishan, the prime minister of the dynasty. His father, Chen Guangrui, was once the champion and became a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion. He does not love glory and wealth, is dedicated to practicing Buddhism, and grew up in the temple.

Tang Taizong was very happy after knowing it and ordered him to invite him to Chang'an to preside over the land and water conference.

Xia Bing, who has been monitoring the whole Chang'an, knows that after a series of plans, Buddhism has staged many funny dramas, which will finally lead to their ultimate purpose, and Guanyin must be on the way to Chang'an.

Master Xuanzang, after receiving the order, went to Chang'an Huasheng Temple, gathered many monks, selected a total of 1,200 Ming monks, and selected the auspicious day of the zodiac to prepare for the 49th land conference.

On the night when Master Xuanzang, who was reincarnated as the golden cicada, just moved into the Huasheng Temple, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, Xia Bing came.

Directly hammered 24 ten thousand puppet god nails into Xuanzang's sea of knowledge.

I thought that Chen Xuanzang's body was mortal, and there was no cultivation at all. It was just a Buddha spirit, which should be easy to control.

Who knew that after Xia Bing's ten thousand puppet god nails invaded Chen Xuanzang's sea of knowledge, it caused strong resistance. Xia Bing directly entered Xuanzang's sea of knowledge with supreme thoughts, and saw a six-winged golden cicada fiercely flapping its wings and repelled ten thousand puppet god nails.

The six-winged golden cicada is the original body of the golden cicada. He sat down at Duobao Buddha and became a second apprentice. Although the Buddha's light shines on his body, it is difficult to hide its fierceness.

After all, the six-winged golden cicada is an ancient fierce insect with an extremely fierce nature. Although it has been influenced by Buddhism for many years, it is still fierce and difficult to tame. This golden cicada has the cultivation of Daluo Jinxian. It has been sleeping in the sea of Xuanzang's knowledge and waiting for the arrival of the journey to the west. At this time, Xia Bing's ten thousand puppet gods entered the sea of knowledge, making him feel the crisis of life and death. Naturally, he tried his best to resist.

Although the resistance of the golden cicada made Xia Bing a little surprised, this resistance was still futile. He ignored the roar of the golden cicada. Xia Bing directly imprisoned the fierce six-winged golden cicada with supreme thoughts, and 24 thousands of puppet nails directly disappeared into its body and completely controlled him.

Since then, the four people on the Journey to the West have completely fallen into the hands of Xia soldiers and become the living puppets of Xia soldiers.

On the auspicious day of the zodiac, the Water and Land Conference was being held for one day. Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, saw that Xuan Zang's cass cassuma was just an ordinary cassator, and there was no tin rod, so he wanted to give Master Xuan Zang a set of cass and tin sticks, but there were no such treasures in the palace.

At this time, there was a loud shout on the street outside the square where the water and land conference was held, selling cass and tin rods.

I saw two old and young monks on the street selling jackets outside the door. These two monks were transformed by the coquettish Guanyin and her white-faced disciple Mu Zha.

Prime Minister Xiao Xing came forward and asked, "Then monk, how much is your jacket?"

Guanyin replied: "5,000 taels of cass and 2,000 taels of tin sticks."

Prime Minister Xiao Xing said angrily, "You monk, don't talk nonsense. What kind of treasure is your saber? How dare you sell it at such a high price if you wear it?"

Li Shimin, the emperor of Tang, who was watching, also looked curiously at the old monk transformed by Guanyin and wanted to hear what he said. Guanyin was fearless in the face of Emperor Tang and the guards.

replied with his head high, "My sabery has advantages, disadvantages, money requirements, and no money."

Xiao Xing said, "What are the benefits? What's the advantage?"

Guanyin said, "It is a good thing that I don't sink, I don't fall into hell, I don't suffer from vicious difficulties, and I don't encounter the cave of tigers and wolves; if * a foolish monk who is happy in misfortune, a monk who does not fast, and a mortal who destroys the scriptures and slanders Buddha, it is not good to see the face of my jacket."

Xiao Xing asked again, "What is the money?" What is free of money?

Guanyin replied, "If you don't follow the Buddha's law, don't respect the three treasures, and force yourself to buy the cass and tin rods, and you will definitely sell him 7,000 taels, which is asking for money. If you respect the three treasures, see the good and convert to my Buddha, you can afford it. I will give him a cass and a tin rod willingly and make a good relationship with me, which is free of money."

After hearing this, Tang Emperor Li Shimin said to the Xuanzang mage beside him, "Master, wait for me to buy this cass and tin rod and give it to the mage."

After saying that, without waiting for Xuanzang to refuse, he said to the old monk transformed by Guanyin, "The old mage also seems to be a virtuous monk. I want to buy this cass and tin stick and give it to this Xuanzang mage, and ask the old mage to complete it."

The old monk transformed by Guanyin said, "This monk is indeed my Buddha's great virtue. Naturally, he can enjoy my Buddha treasure, and the poor monk will send this cass and tin rod to you."

After saying that, he stuffed the cassumin and tin stick to Xuanzang, didn't wait for Xuanzang to refuse, and said, " Monk, what you just talked about on the high platform are all Hinayana Buddhism. Can you talk about Mahayana Buddhism?"

Xuanzang listened and quickly asked, "Old Master, my disciples have learned the Mahayana Buddhism, but they don't know how Mahayana Buddhism is?"

Guanyin said, "Your Hinayana teaching method can't exceed the rise of the dead, but only vulgarity and light. I have the Mahayana Dharma Sanzang, which can surpass the dead to ascend to heaven, can overcome difficulties and get rid of hardships, can cultivate an infinite life, and can do nothing.

Hearing this, Xuan Zang quickly bowed down and said, "Please also ask the old mage to teach his disciples the Mahayana Buddhism."

Guanyin shook his head and said, "The Mahayana Buddhism is no longer here."

Li Shimin, who was beside him, quickly asked, "Where is that?"

Guanyin smiled and said, "At the Leiyin Temple in Daxi, we can solve the knots of grievances and eliminate the disaster without delusion."

After saying that, Guanyin showed his real body. He saw thousands of clouds in the sky and auspicious. Guanyin sat on the white lotus platform, holding a jade bottle in his hand, but inside was a bodhi branch. His face was sacred and coquettish. Muzha stood aside proudly, with a bullish face.

The mysterious mage below, Li Shimin and other civil and military officials all knelt on the ground and shouted, "Nanwu Guanyin Bodhisattva!"

Guanyin said profoundly to Li Shimin below, "There are wonderful articles in the West. The journey is 108,000 miles, and the Mahayana is attentive. After returning to China, you can be super ghosts out of the group. If anyone is willing to go, ask for a golden body.

Then she waved the bodhi branch in the clean bottle gently below, and the sky suddenly began to snow. Originally, if she had waved her original willow branches, it would have been more coquettish, but now it has been replaced with bodhi branches, and it looks a little strange.

For good, the civil and military officials and many monks below did not notice this.

Tang Emperor Li Shimin asked Wu Daozi to paint for Guanyin, hang it in the palace, and visit him every day.

After that, he had to send someone to the Xitian Leiyin Temple to obtain the Mahayana Buddhism. At this time, Master Xuanzang took the initiative to ask for his order. Li Shimin saw the great joy, took Xuanzang to worship the son, gave Chen Xuanzang a royal brother, and named him Sanzang, also known as Tang Sanzang.

Finally, when practicing for Tang Sanzang, he added a little dust to Tang Sanzang's wine glass and said to Tang Sanzang, "My royal brother drank this wine. I remember that I would rather fall in love with my hometown and don't love 10,000 taels of gold in my hometown."

Tang Sanzang clearly understood Li Shimin's meaning, burst into tears with excitement, and led a group of servants on the road of scriptures in Li Shimin's silent gaze.

Seeing this, Xia Bing knows that everything is going well, as long as he ensures that he is not found by those saints to take the nails of the four gods, and that they can reach the west smoothly and take the true scriptures back to the east.
