Black Myth: You and I are both destined

Yangjian.

The ministers, led by Wei Zheng, knelt in the White Tiger Hall of the Weiyang Palace. In the center of the hall stood a brightly lacquered golden nanmu coffin. This was the coffin of Li Shimin. According to the time in the human world, he had been dead for three full days.

During this period, they cried for Li Shimin day and night, and several groups fainted from crying.

Boom boom boom!

At this moment, there was a knocking sound suddenly coming from Li Shimin's coffin, which frightened all the ministers and made them retreat one after another, at a loss as to what to do. Fortunately, Yuchi Gong was brave enough and stepped forward to push open the coffin lid.

"Yuchi Jingde! How dare you move the emperor's coffin!"

Yuchi Gong ignored it, but the next moment he couldn't help but shout!

"emperor--!"

"The Emperor has woken up!"

Yuchi Gong shouted in surprise, and the ministers dared to gather around him.

Seeing Li Shimin waking up, the ministers all expressed gratitude to God.

"God save the Emperor!"

"God bless the Tang Dynasty!"

……

Li Shimin let out a long breath, looked at his empty shoulders, and then shifted his gaze to Wei Zheng.

"This dream has given me a lot of inspiration, and I now know the importance of doing good deeds."

"I intend to issue a 'recruitment list for monks' and select 1,200 eminent monks to hold a water and land assembly. On an auspicious day, perform rituals for 49 days to help the souls of the dead in the underworld to transcend."

"What do you think, my Lords?"

All the ministers were speechless. The emperor had destroyed and restricted Buddhism more than once, but today he was acting contrary to his usual behavior. He was sitting in the coffin without coming out, but was eager to promote Buddhism. What did he want to do?

All the ministers were puzzled, only Wei Zheng stepped forward and helped Li Shimin out of the coffin.

"I am willing to share the emperor's worries."

Seeing Wei Zheng volunteering, Li Shimin talked about another matter.

"I owe a box of gold and silver to a man named Xiangliang. You must find this man and repay me."

"Wei Zheng obeys the order!"

Li Shimin's behavior after waking up was completely different from his usual self. The ministers also noticed something, but only Yuchi Gong dared to speak out and report it to the emperor!

"Why did the emperor want to establish this religion?"

Li Shimin seemed not to have heard his question. Not only did he not answer, but he directly gave him another order.

"I wish to accumulate virtue and grant amnesty to the whole nation. All four hundred death row prisoners will be released from prison, and the three thousand old and young in the palace will be sent to serve in the army."

"I'll leave this matter to General Yuchi."

Yuchi Gong was a man of fierce temper. How could he accept such an order? He retreated repeatedly!

"Your Majesty's body has not recovered yet. Please wait until your body is well again before you proceed!"

He knew that this was unreasonable, but he couldn't just say that the emperor was wrong.

Releasing death row prisoners for no reason and sending palace maids, old and young, to the army, how can this be considered doing good?

According to the previous decree of temporary entrusting the orphan to the care of the emperor, he clearly wanted to send these palace maids back to their hometowns. Why is he going back on his word now?

He couldn't believe for a moment that such words came from the mouth of the Holy Lord Tian Khan!

Seeing that Yuchi Gong spoke frankly, the ministers became bolder, and Minister Fu Yi was even more outspoken.

"However, the Sangmen in the Western Regions, who spread their religion themselves, are actually barbarians who invaded China and cannot be trusted."

The ministers also began to whisper to each other. How could the powerful Tang Dynasty believe in the barbaric religion for no reason?

But Li Shimin had seen the methods of gods and Buddhas with his own eyes, so he immediately gave the order.

"If anyone defames the monks or slanders the Buddha, his arm will be cut off."

It was not until he said this that the ministers realized that the emperor was really planning to promote Buddhism this time, and they all swallowed their words back into their stomachs.

Li Shimin stared at his ministers, but his thoughts had already drifted outside the palace.

Now he can only shut the mouths of his ministers. Compared with the means of gods and Buddhas, even breaking his arms is just a drop in the ocean.

In the sky above the White Tiger Hall, there is the Taoist Hui'an, who is dressed in the image of a Taoist boy, with a turban on his head, a Taoist robe, hemp shoes and a silk belt.

He looked at Tianming who had turned into a bird without feet.

"Tian Mingren, why is the bird you turned into so strange? How can you land on the ground without feet?"

There was clearly a look of pity for Hui'an in Tianming's eyes.

"I have a destination in mind, and I'm risking everything. If I don't fly, I'll die."

"You, the Second Prince, are even more strange. You have Tao in your heart, but you have entered Buddhism. Do you think that Buddha is originally Tao, or Tao is originally Buddha?"

Hui An was suddenly stunned: "Second Prince? Since I have already become a monk, why do I need to mention the word Prince?

The scene of playing at the beach with his eldest brother Jinzha and third brother Nezha suddenly flashed through his mind.

He was lost in thought as he thought about it.

"Although I am not as brave as my elder brother, nor as smart as my third brother, I am also passionate. Unfortunately, I joined the Buddhist family and ended up being a scout here!"

When he looked up again, he found that Tianming had flown quite a distance.

"Where are you going, man of destiny?"

"I'm going to meet the person you're looking for."

"Heavenly Man! Are you going to Jinshan Temple too?"

"Also? It seems that Guanyin has already been there." Tianming did not answer, but increased his flying speed and flew towards the direction of Jinshan Temple.

……

After flying for an unknown amount of time, Tianming approached his destination.

This place is the western corner of West Lake, surrounded by water on three sides and backed by mountains on one side, with pleasant scenery.

The temples are built along the mountain, from low to high, in an orderly manner, and the green tiles and flying eaves are extremely magnificent.

The temples are mostly painted in vermilion and gold, and the courtyards are carved with clouds, dragons and colorful phoenixes, which are magnificent.

I didn’t expect that during the Tang Dynasty, when Buddhism was banned for many years, temples could be built so magnificently.

Tianming transformed into a human form again and landed next to the bell and drum tower. He passed the Sutra Library and came to the Main Hall.

There was an old monk with a white beard in the hall. When the two looked at each other, the old monk immediately realized that Tianming was extraordinary. Since he could enter the main hall without making any noise, he should not be provoked easily.

The old monk took the initiative to step forward and say hello.

"What is your business? I am the elder Fa Ming of Jinshan Temple."

"I'm here to find Jiang Liuer!"

Hearing this, Monk Fa Ming frowned slightly, but said, "I have not heard of the person you are looking for. You can go to the foot of the mountain and ask him about it."

Of course Tianming knew that he was lying. Monk Faming was obviously Tang Seng's master, so how could he have never heard of his disciple?

"I said I came to see Chen Xuanzang."

When Fa Ming heard the word "Chen", he immediately knew that Tian Ming had some relationship with the court, and his attitude changed in an instant.

"Since the emperor has something to ask him, please rest in the side hall first. I will go and call him over."

"Don't bother, just take me there to find him."

"This……"

Seeing Faming in such a dilemma, Tianming immediately understood the reason.

"Has anyone else seen him before?"

“……”Fa Ming remained silent.

"That person is of a very high status. You have never seen him before?"

"..."

"Did he tell me about the Land and Water Conference?"

"..."

Fa Ming did not answer a word, but Tian Ming already knew everything. It seemed that Guan Yin had already finished everything in advance.

"Forget it, go find him."

"Tell him that I came to see him on behalf of an old friend named Yin."

"I will go right away. Please go to the meeting hall and wait. I will notify my disciples to prepare some vegetarian food."

"understood."

Tianming felt a little funny. How could there be a place like a meeting hall in a Buddhist temple?

Moreover, although the Jinshan Temple is magnificent, the old monk mocks himself as a poor monk. He came to this strange world alone and has no money in his pocket, but people call him a donor. This is really contrary to the heavens!
