Starting from inheriting Taoism

"Master, the cassock and Zen staff in your hands are extraordinary. I wonder if you can sell them to my subordinates and make offerings at home?"

Avalokitesvara smiled when she heard the words, "Of course it is possible, it just depends on whether the donor is destined or not?"

"Oh, what is fate and what is no fate, don't those with more money have fate, and those with less money have no fate, right?"

There was something in this person's words, and the people around heard the words and pointed them out, thinking that Guanyin was really going to be auctioned.

But Guanyin would not care about these, just continued, "Those who are destined will not get a penny, and those who are not destined will not be easy."

The man did not give up, "Then master, see if I have such a fate?"

As he said this, this person also took out a large handful of banknotes from his pocket, it seemed that he insisted on using the banknotes to seek fate.

The people around were also amazed by the man's handwriting. Although the cassock and Zen staff were extraordinary, they didn't seem to have much effect in holding them, and it seemed a bit unworthy to spend such a price.

All the onlookers looked at Guanyin, wanting to see how she would respond.

Guanyin didn't look at the bank note in the man's hand, but just shook his head at the man, "The benefactor has nothing to do with this cassock and Zen staff, don't you need to force it?"

"What if I absolutely want this treasure?"

"Three thousand gold."

"Three thousand gold!"

Why don't you go grab it? The man cursed inwardly. He would be an idiot if he really spent three thousand gold to buy the cassock and Zen staff. Come and ask yourself if you have fate.

The noise grew louder, but it caught the attention of Xuanzang who had just come out. When everyone saw him coming, they made way for him. Xuanzang came all the way to Guanyin, and saw that the cassock and Zen staff in his hands were also the same. Startled, he could tell with his eyes that the cassock and Zen staff in Avalokitesvara's hands were both high-quality Buddhist treasures.

"Amitabha, this is?"

Xuanzang looked at the two Guanyins in surprise, not knowing why they came.

"Master, can you see if Master Xuanzang is related to these two treasures?"

The onlookers shouted suddenly, Guanyin was also looking at Xuanzang at this time, the person in front of him was the tenth reincarnation of Jin Chanzi he was looking for.

"Master Xuanzang, you might as well try it on."

Try it on?Xuanzang was a little confused.

"Senior brother was joking, but the poor monk has no money to buy it."

Avalokitesvara shook her head and smiled, "Those who are predestined will not get a penny."

Chapter 3 and Three

Do not take a penny?

Xuanzang glanced at Avalokitesvara suspiciously. Although he said that he was a monk and would not lie, the value of the cassock and Zen staff was too high. They were neither relatives nor relatives, so why would they give him the cassock and Zen staff.

"Master, you always say that there is fate but no fate, but you talk about what is fate and what is no fate?"

The person watching finally couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help asking.

Avalokitesvara didn't even look at the man when he heard the words, his eyes still stayed on Xuanzang, "You might as well try it on."

As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation. Of course Xuanzang knew what Avalokitesvara meant, but he still hesitated.

"Master Xuanzang, try it. If there is no fate, let's take it off for him. If there is a fate, then it will make a lot of money."

"Yes, master, give it a try."

……

Xuanzang was still hesitating, but the onlookers couldn't wait any longer and urged him one after another.

Seeing so many people persuasion, Xuanzang couldn't hold back, and finally took over the cassock, even though Xuanzang was born with a Buddha heart, and he usually doesn't care about everything, now that he got the cassock, he couldn't help but feel joy.

Under the urging of the spectators, Xuanzang took off his cassock and put on the cassock handed over by Guanyin. It was also strange that at the moment Xuanzang put the cassock on the bed, the cassock suddenly shone with golden light, reflecting the Xuanzang is like a living Buddha descended into the world.

When the onlookers saw this scene, their eyes were glazed over. It is true that Buddha also needs gold clothes. Once the cassock is changed, the temperament immediately rises.

Although the former Xuanzang had an extraordinary temperament, compared with the present, it is also a heaven and an underground.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of Master Xuanzang?"

In the distance, Yuan Zheng accompanied Li Shimin to hide behind the crowd, just in time to catch this scene in his eyes.

Li Shimin exclaimed when he heard the words, "I didn't know there was such an eminent monk in Chang'an City, Yuanzai, what do you think if I ask this master to help teach scriptures and Dharma, how about purifying the souls of the dead?"

Yuanzheng smiled when he heard the words, and he brought Li Shimin over to see it. Isn’t it just for this matter? Xuanzang is a man appointed to learn Buddhist scriptures. He has to do things, too.

"Your Majesty is wise. I heard that Master Xuanzang will hold a Water and Land Ceremony here in the future. We can just see his skills."

While speaking, Xuanzang had once again held the Zen stick in his hand, and the golden light flashed, adding another three points of Buddhist spirit to Xuanzang.

The onlookers were amazed when they saw this. It is not a loss if such a treasure is really exchanged for three thousand gold.

"Master, what treasures are this cassock and Zen staff, they are so extraordinary."

Guanyin smiled slightly when he heard the words, and his temperament was just right.

"These two things are my Buddhism's most precious brocade cassock and nine-ringed tin rod. The nine-ringed tin rod has nine rings on it. If you hold it in your hand, you will not be poisoned. The brocade cassock is inlaid with seven treasures. It is impenetrable by water and fire. Sin."

good baby!

Everyone nodded secretly when they heard the words, and some couldn't help but ask, "Master, is Master Xuanzang considered a predestined relationship now?"

Xuanzang couldn't help but look at Guanyin when he heard this. Even Xuanzang was reluctant to take off such a Buddhist treasure.

"Dong dong dong..."

At this moment, the Buddhist bell rang suddenly, attracting everyone's attention.

Avalokitesvara smiled slightly at Xuanzang, "Master Xuanzang, the water and land meeting has begun, and it's time for you to go on stage. You might as well wear brocade cassock and nine-ringed tin staff."

Everyone heard the words and didn't know that Guanyin was saying that Xuanzang was a predestined person. Looking at Xuanzang again, everyone thought that Xuanzang was really extraordinary, maybe it was the gods and Buddhas who came to the world from the sky, otherwise how could they just open the land and water? Someone sent the baby over at the conference.

Xuanzang was also moved when he heard the words, and bowed to Guanyin and performed a Buddhist ceremony, "Thank you, senior brother. After Xuanzang lectures on the scriptures, return the cassock and Zen stick to senior brother."

Guanyin smiled and said nothing, just made a gesture of invitation.

Xuanzang walked towards the stage under everyone's gaze. With every step he took, the discussions among the onlookers became quieter.

The sound of preaching slowly sounded, and Xuanzang really had something. Coupled with the cassock and Zen staff with Buddhist Purdue supernatural powers, everyone in the audience was fascinated by listening to it for a while.

Guanyin and Yuanzheng were the only ones who were not affected by the Buddha's voice off the field. They also noticed each other at this time. Guanyin saw the dragon spirit rising from Li Shimin standing next to Yuanzheng, so he knew that Yuanzheng was killing people. The emperor brought it here.

Thinking of the previous agreement between the two, although Guanyin was amazed at how Yuanzheng knew that Xuanzang was the one appointed by his Buddhist school to learn Buddhist scriptures, this question was obviously not something that should be asked, and he was relieved. Now it seems that Yuanzheng is also Do what you say, not the kind of person who just takes money and does nothing.

The four looked at each other, nodded to each other, and then turned their attention to Xuanzang on the stage again.

Everyone listened enthusiastically, and they didn't realize that half a day had passed, and the Water and Land Ceremony was gradually coming to an end, and everyone slowly regained their senses, unexpectedly, they all had something to say.

"That's the end of today's lecture. The next time the temple holds a water and land ceremony, we will notify you in advance. Let's leave today."

The abbot of Ci'en Temple stood up and prepared to dismiss the crowd.

Xuanzang came to Avalokitesvara again after finishing his lecture, "Thank you, brother, for borrowing the treasure. With the blessing of the Buddha's treasure, Xuanzang has indeed benefited a lot this time. Now that the Dharma conference is over, the cassock and Zen staff will be returned to their original owners. Brother Yu."

At this time Xuanzang had already taken off his cassock, held his Zen staff horizontally, and put it in front of Avalokitesvara, although he was a bit reluctant, but Xuanzang knew that he would not be rewarded for meritorious deeds, so he was unwilling to accept the cassock and Zen staff lightly.

Seeing this scene in the distance, Li Shimin couldn't help nodding, what an eminent monk, not only profound in Buddhism, but also noble in character, isn't he the eminent monk who relieves grievances in his mind.

Seeing Xuanzang's determination, Guanyin nodded secretly, thinking in his heart that Jin Chanzi is worthy of being a direct disciple of the Buddha, and those who dare to argue with the Buddha's principles, even if they are reincarnated, have a firm Buddha's heart.

Hahaha……

With a big laugh, Avalokitesvara no longer hides her identity, she transforms herself and appears in the air with a white lotus seated on her seat and a wooden Zha behind her, holding a clean bottle in her left hand and clasping five fingers in her right hand.

"Xuanzang, take a look at who this seat is?"

Avalokitesvara, Xuanzang was shocked when he saw this, he hurriedly knelt down in Shuangxi, and bowed to Avalokitesvara.

"Master Avalokitesvara, my disciple didn't know about the arrival of the master, so I have neglected him a lot. Please forgive me for my ignorance."

The onlookers heard that Avalokitesvara had descended to earth, so they were still calm. They never thought that they could be so close to the legendary Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, especially those who had just talked to Avalokitesvara. I said something wrong just now and offended Guanyin Bodhisattva.

All of them knelt down on the ground for a while, and they all called Guanyin Bodhisattva, praying to bless themselves and forgive their sins.

Li Shimin was also shocked when he saw this, and he was about to kneel down together, but was stopped by Yuan Zheng, "Your Majesty, you are a real dragon in the world, and your status is not under Guanyin, but you don't need to bow down to him."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard the words, but he never knew that his status was so noble that he could be compared with Guanyin Bodhisattva, and seeing that Yuanzheng had no intention of saluting Guanyin, he knew that Yuanzheng was also of extraordinary status.

No wonder Yuan Zheng was able to get through such a thrilling scene in front of Zhengqi Academy that day, Yuan Zai was indeed not a mortal.

"Xuanzang, I see that although you are profound in Buddhism, all you have learned is Hinayana Buddhism, and there is no Mahayana Buddhism. I am afraid that you will be able to cross one or two people, but you will not be able to cross tens of thousands of people."

Theravada Buddhism?Mahayana Buddhism?

"Bodhisattva, what is Hinayana Buddhism and what is Mahayana Buddhism?"

"The Hinayana Buddhism is self-interested, and the Mahayana Buddhism is beneficial to others. The Mahayana takes benefiting others as its own responsibility, and has a heart of great compassion, while the Hinayana focuses on self-interest and has no great compassion. The Mahayana Buddhism has great wisdom. It saves all beings in the world and nirvana itself In order to achieve Buddhahood. Hinayana Buddhism has little wisdom. Although it can save oneself, it does not know the sufferings of all living beings, let alone the true meaning of the world."

Xuanzang suddenly realized when he heard the words, and today he realized that what he had learned was so shallow, and a desire for Mahayana Buddhism arose in his heart.

"Would Master Avalokitesvara please tell his disciples where they can obtain Mahayana Buddhism?"

"Mahayana Buddhism can only be found in Daleiyin Temple in the West, where my Buddha's true body is. This journey is far away from thousands of miles, and you must have great perseverance and perseverance."

Xitian Daleiyin Temple!

Xuanzang secretly thought that it was true, but he didn't find it strange, since it is Mahayana Buddhism, if it is not where the real Buddha is, how can it be taken lightly.

Li Shimin also understood the meaning of Guanyin at this time, "Yuanzai, does it mean that Master Xuanzang at this time, although the Dharma is profound, can only cross himself but not others, and cannot solve the predicament of my Tang Dynasty?"

Yuanzheng nodded when he heard the words, "That's true, but I think Master Xuanzang seems to have perseverance and perseverance. If His Majesty is willing, you might as well entrust Master Xuanzang with the important task of seeking Mahayana Buddhism. Master Xuanzang has returned from learning the scriptures, and after Mahayana Buddhism came to the Tang Dynasty, he can naturally dissolve the accumulated grievances."

Li Shimin looked at Xuanzang after hearing the words, and now he can only do so.

"The disciple is not afraid of hardships and dangers, and is willing to go to the Great Leiyin Temple of the Western Heaven to seek Mahayana Buddhism."

Xuanzang looked at Avalokitesvara with a firm face, he studied Buddhism to save others, and now that he learned that what he learned can only save himself, he naturally didn't want to, even though it was hard to find the scriptures, he still wanted to give it a try.

"Okay, Xuanzang, although you are a man appointed to learn Buddhist scriptures, the journey to Daleiyin Temple in the West is full of difficulties and obstacles. You must uphold your original heart and not fall into today's aspirations, so that you can achieve your wish. This nine-ringed tin staff and

The brocade cassock will give you self-defense. "

"Disciple would like to follow the Bodhisattva's teachings, and thank the Bodhisattva for passing on the treasure."

When Xuanzang heard the words, he bowed and bowed. Seeing that the matter was completed, Guanyin also left on the lotus.

"Your Majesty, go back to the palace."

Seeing that the matter was over, Yuan Zheng prepared to call Li Shimin back to the palace, but at this time Li Shimin was a little concerned about the Mahayana Buddhism that Guanyin said, after all, it was related to his own longevity.

"Yuanzai, why don't you invite Master Xuanzang to the palace for a speech?"

Yuanzheng heard that he didn't know what Li Shimin was thinking, which was exactly what he wanted, and he simply nodded and agreed, "What your majesty said is true, but don't be so anxious. Your majesty will return to the palace for now, and later preach the imperial decree. That's the palace."

Li Shimin was a little hesitant when he heard the words, this is asking someone to do something, shouldn't he be a corporal?

Seeing this, Yuanzheng couldn't laugh or cry. The emperor of the world couldn't recognize his own status after King Zhou of Shang Dynasty. Even Qin Shihuang was still a bit domineering. Although Li Shimin in front of him was considered a British lord, his integrity was stronger than before. The difference between the two is huge. As the emperor of the world, Li Shimin's status is not much worse than that of the Jade Emperor. Even a saint would not dare to take action against someone who protects his body with imperial dragon energy.

But think about it, after conferring the gods, the dynasties in the world are mainly based on Shinto beliefs, and they have long lost their autonomy. What is even more absurd is directly granted by the imperial power. If things go on like this, the servility of the human race will become more and more serious, and I don’t know Huoyundong How did those few in the middle think, they would ignore this matter, or maybe they had to ignore it.

Alas, he still can't control these things for the time being.

"Your Majesty, you are the emperor. Xuanzang is just the people under your rule. An imperial decree is enough. If your majesty wants to give some favors at that time, you can do it. However, it is not necessary for the corporal to be a virtuous man, so he loses his integrity."

Li Shimin was startled when he heard the words. This was the first time he heard such serious words from Yuanzheng's mouth. In the past, most of Yuanzheng's speeches were mainly suggestions, and he could listen or not to listen to him as he wished. Such instructive speech It was the first time, thinking about Yuanzheng's words carefully, Li Shimin actually heard a hint of hatred for iron but not steel. Could it be that there is something wrong with him?Corporal Li Xian is not right?

I really couldn't figure it out, but Li Shimin instinctively didn't want to go against Yuan Zheng's words, so he nodded immediately, "Okay, I will listen to Yuan Zai."

Li Shimin's persuasion was somewhat beyond Yuan Zheng's expectations.

Afterwards, everything went smoothly. Li Shimin, who returned to the palace, issued an imperial decree to Xuanzang, rewarding him with silver, horses, bowls, and guards. In the end, he wanted to worship him and recognize him as his younger brother. , just to let Xuanzang go to the west to learn scriptures, hoping that he can save thousands of dead souls in the Tang Dynasty.

Xuanzang originally intended to go to the west to seek Mahayana Buddhism, but now seeing Li Shimin treating him like this, he was even more moved, wishing he could not stop for a moment, and set off right away.

Although Li Shimin wanted Xuanzang to get the scriptures back as soon as possible, but the emperor did not send hungry soldiers, at least he had to let Xuanzang rest for a day before going.

So, early the next morning, Li Shimin personally sent Tang Seng outside Chang'an City.

"Let's say goodbye today. I don't know when we will see you again. Brother Yu, please drink this glass of turbid wine. Now go to the Great Leiyin Temple in the West Heaven. Don't forget that there are still me and thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty waiting for my brother to come back."

Li Shimin squeezed a pinch of native soil and put it into the wine glass. Although monks don't drink alcohol, today's wine is of great significance. Xuanzang was moved and didn't refuse. Take it back, wait until the east wind blows again, the poor monk will definitely come back, drive!"

With tears streaming down his face, Xuanzang let go of his reluctance, and headed west with two entourages.

"Roar!"
