Xitianling Mountain.

Daleiyin Temple.

All the Buddhas are present and all the Arhats stand in rows.

On the golden lotus platform.

After listening to the report from Guanyin Bodhisattva, Tathagata looked calm.

Calculate secretly for a moment.

There was a sudden flash of surprise in his eyes.

How could this be?

After a moment of silence, he looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva and said calmly: "I will go to Lingxiao Palace to meet with the Great Heavenly Venerable to discuss. You should find a way to make Tang Sanzang go west immediately, and don't waste time."

"Follow the Buddha's command."

Guanyin Bodhisattva puts her hands together.

Take the order and leave.

Ugh!

This job is not done well.

All previous plans have been ruined. What means are there now that can allow Tang Sanzang to go to the West to obtain the scriptures in glory?

The Buddha asked him to travel west immediately.

How to do?

There is no way to explain it, I can only reveal my Dharma body myself.

After Guanyin Bodhisattva left, Tathagata Buddha gave instructions to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Lingshan Mountain, then turned into a golden light and disappeared into the horizon.

……

Nanfangbuzhou.

The border of the Tang Dynasty.

The current emperor Li Shimin has been resurrected from the dead, the whole country celebrates, and a general amnesty is issued.

The whole city of Chang'an was filled with joy.

When Li Shimin came back to life, he learned all the truth from the Black and White Impermanence.

It turned out that the Emperor of the underworld, Fengdu Emperor, had added twenty years to his lifespan.

Make yourself a good emperor.

excitement!

Li Shimin was extremely excited.

I didn't expect that the Emperor of the Underworld would give me so much face that he actually changed his own Book of Life and Death.

If I live another twenty years, I want all people to live in peace and well-being.

Li Shimin was ambitious.

Not only did he grant amnesty to the entire nation, he even promulgated several laws to benefit the people and strengthen the army.

at the same time.

An imperial edict came from the palace.

All the people worship God.

The Emperor of the Underworld, Fengdu Emperor, was made the patron saint of the Tang Dynasty.

People built many temples and shrines to the emperor to show their piety.

Although the people did not know why the emperor of the time would worship an emperor from the underworld, in this era, Li Shimin was a god.

He brings blessings to all peoples.

So the people all accepted and listened to what he said.

As a result, a trend of worshipping the Emperor of Fengdu spread across the country.

In many places, Buddhist temples and wild shrines were demolished and temples of Fengdu Emperor were built in their place.

……

Chang'an City, Huasheng Temple.

Tang Sanzang, who was devoutly worshipping Buddha, was somewhat depressed.

The number of believers is decreasing.

There are fewer and fewer people who believe in Buddhism’s mission to save all living beings.

Statues and sculptures of Fengdu Emperor can be seen everywhere in Chang'an City.

Ridiculously simple.

For thousands of years, the King of Fengdu has not been a deity that can be worshipped. What's going on now?

It is said that the current emperor's resurrection from the dead is related to the Emperor of Fengdu.

Tang Sanzang didn't understand.

what's going on?

As the Emperor of the underworld, you, the Great King of Fengdu, can change other people's books of life and death at will?

If you were allowed to do whatever you want, would there be people dying in vain in this world?

Without those who died unjustly, for whom would we Buddhists provide salvation?

Who are you going to save again?

Tang Sanzang stayed in the temple, beating the wooden fish.

At some point!

Suddenly, there was a bright light outside.

The colorful light shines on the west.

The entire Chang'an city was in an uproar in an instant.

The monks in Huasheng Temple ran out of the meditation hall in shock, all looking up at the sky.

Tang Sanzang also came out.

Look up.

day!

Miracles appeared.

In the void, there is a cloud of auspiciousness protecting.

There is a Bodhisattva standing in the clouds.

The Buddha halo behind him is dazzling, and the colorful halo makes people yearn for it.

For a moment, all the monks knelt down and worshiped.

It is Guanyin Bodhisattva who has come to the world.

It was the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva of the South China Sea who appeared to save people from suffering.

As a result, the entire Chang'an city was shaken.

Li Shimin was also surprised when he heard the news in the palace.

Who?

Guanyin Bodhisattva comes to the world?

Is this God blessing our Tang Dynasty?

Not only will the King of Fengdu help me live another twenty years, but now even the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva has arrived.

Go check it out.

Let’s see what she is doing here.

So the emperor left the palace.

The Imperial Guards escorted Li Shimin to Huasheng Temple.

Princess Changle accompanied him.

She was mostly curious.

I want to see what Guanyin Bodhisattva looks like.

When Li Shimin rushed to Huasheng Temple, he happened to see Guanyin Bodhisattva sitting in the clouds outside the main hall of Huasheng Temple, with a solemn appearance, preaching the sutras.

Looking around, the entire Huasheng Temple was brilliant with golden light.

outside.

The onlookers were also infected and knelt down devoutly.

Although Buddhism did not have much power and influence in the Tang Dynasty during this period, Guanyin Bodhisattva was different.

The compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, who has lived in Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea since the beginning, is also well-known as the Tathagata Buddha.

She saves people from suffering and is extremely compassionate.

There are various folk legends about her.

Therefore, there are many believers.

Today, the Dharmakāya of Avalokitesvara has come to Huasheng Temple to preach to the monks. There must be a deep meaning behind this.

Although Li Shimin was also infected and had the urge to worship devoutly, he was, after all, the emperor of the world, blessed by the halo of the Purple Star, so he remained calm.

So Li Shimin did not disturb the lecture.

Instead, he stood quietly aside.

waiting.

Time passes minute by minute.

I don’t know how long it took before Guanyin Bodhisattva finished preaching.

The monks of Huasheng Temple were all bathed in Buddha's light, as if they had been enlightened. There were even a few old monks who miraculously regained their childlike faces and black hair.

This magical scene stunned Li Shimin.

Subsequently.

The Dharma body of Guanyin Bodhisattva appears in the air.

She turned to look at Li Shimin and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, when the Buddha Tathagata ascended to Nirvana, he saw the sufferings of the world and was moved. Tears came from his left eye and blood came from his right eye. His tears and blood were left in the mortal world and turned into the true scriptures and true interpretations to relieve the sufferings of the world and save all living beings."

"Now that the borders of Southern Continent have been initially settled, it is not appropriate to start a war again."

"People are tired and miserable, and they long for peace."

"Our Buddha intends to pass on the Mahayana Sutra to that place, in order to cleanse the bloody murderous aura, and to help the dead souls to be liberated and reborn in paradise."

"Your Majesty, this move will benefit all the people."

"In the Huasheng Temple, there is a monk named Xuanzang who can take on the important task."

"This journey to the west is ultimately destined for the Great Leiyin Temple in Xiniuhezhou. Along the way, we will travel 18000 miles, sleep in the open air, and endure hardships. This will be a great deed for us."

"One day he will retrieve the true scriptures, spread Buddhism, and help the people cultivate their minds, thus ensuring the stability of the Tang Dynasty."

"That is all I have to say. I hope Your Majesty will promote this good deed."

"Amitabha."

With a Buddhist chant, the Dharma body of Guanyin Bodhisattva rose into the sky.

Slowly, the golden light above Huasheng Temple dissipated and everything returned to calm.

Inside the temple.

The monks woke up as if from a dream.

They quickly got up from the ground and knelt down again to pay their respects to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin had a blank expression on his face.

in silence.

Mahayana Buddhist scriptures?

Is it really that powerful?

I vaguely remember that when I was dying, I seemed to pray in my heart to Guanyin Bodhisattva to appear and not let me die.

Unfortunately, she did not show up.

He still died.

The reason he can be resurrected now is not because of the blessing of Tathagata or Guanyin Bodhisattva, but because of the blessing of the Emperor of the Underworld, Fengdu King.

So, Bodhisattva?

Ha ha!

Give me a discount.

However, the presence of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the human world is of great significance.

Li Shimin was a smart man.

Although there is no shortage of gods and Buddhas in this world, it is rare for gods and Buddhas to appear in the world.

He started out by rebelling against an aristocratic family, fought his way into Chang'an, dealt with all his competitors, and finally ruled the world without ever seeing a single divine presence.

So now, the appearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva obviously carries some kind of forced and threatening flavor.

In Huasheng Temple, there is the monk Xuanzang...

Li Shimin's eyes gleamed, and he turned around and waved his long sleeves: "Issue an order to confer the monk Xuanzang from Huasheng Temple as my younger brother, and to go west to seek the true scriptures on my behalf. I want to see what the so-called Mahayana Buddhist scriptures are."

"According to the order!"
