Chapter 153 The Land and Water Conference Begins

"Because of his amazing performance, Sun Wukong was recruited as Li Shimin's personal bodyguard to protect Li Shimin's safety. Although Li Shimin's martial arts skills were not low, and could even be said to be very strong, which emperor would not worry about his own safety? Therefore, Sun Wukong was assigned to be Li Shimin's personal bodyguard.

Li Shimin has been frightened by the Western Buddhas, and will immediately ask Xuanzang to preside over a water and land ceremony. At that time, Guanyin will appear to promote Mahayana Buddhism. Tang Emperor Li Shimin will send Xuanzang to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and will send personnel to escort Xuanzang. Given the importance that Li Shimin in the Journey to the West attaches to obtaining Buddhist scriptures, he will definitely escort Xuanzang to the West with his highly skilled guard.

He would definitely replace one of the original personnel to escort Xuanzang, and that person could avoid the fate of being eaten by the three monsters of Shuangchaling. This was also the fate of all the guards sent by Li Shimin to escort Xuanzang.

No matter how many guards Li Shimin sent, they could not get out of Shuangcha Ridge and could only die in the mouth of the monster. This is the hateful thing about those gods. They will do anything to achieve their goals and will not care about the lives of ants at all.

Xuanzang and Sun Wukong were both waiting for the call from the Water and Land Conference. Even if Li Shimin was not going to send them there, they would use some tricks to interfere with Li Shimin and achieve their goal.

The Water and Land Assembly was held in Huasheng Temple. Xuanzang also selected 1,200 eminent monks to hold the Water and Land Assembly on the auspicious day of September 3rd.

The third day of September arrived quickly. A luxurious and tall altar was set up in Huasheng Temple early in the morning. On the altar was a cushion and a table. On the table were wooden fish and several Buddhist scriptures.

Below the platform were 1,200 eminent monks, all sitting cross-legged in meditation with prayer beads in their hands. There were also hundreds of arhats in monk robes. Outside, Tang Dynasty soldiers holding spears, wearing scimitars on their waists and wearing armor were maintaining order. The square was already filled with Buddhist believers and people watching the fun. It would not be an exaggeration to say that there were huge crowds of people.

"Master Xuanzang is coming"

“It is Master Xuanzang.”

......

As soon as Xuanzang appeared, the whole square became boiling. Men, women, young and old were all cheering. And as more and more monks came out of Huasheng Temple, the cheers became louder.

"Amitabha"

"The master is compassionate, the master is virtuous, the master is powerful..."

Master Xuanzang was dressed in Buddhist robes and a Vimalakirti hat. He walked towards the platform with big and steady steps, and his steps looked very vigorous.

Xuanzang's appearance is truly amazing. He is so dignified, with red lips and white teeth, delicate eyebrows and eyes, a heroic posture, and fair and rosy skin. Women who see him feel inferior to him. No wonder on Xuanzang's journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, apart from the monsters who wanted to eat Tang Monk's flesh to achieve immortality, the vast majority of the other monsters were female monsters, and most of them wanted to marry Xuanzang. There is a reason for this.

Xuanzang went up to the platform in full view of the crowd, stood beside the cushion, and bowed slightly to the monks below the platform, as well as the arhats and other eminent monks standing behind him: "Amitabha"

When the monks saw Xuanzang, they nodded one after another with admiration in their eyes.

"The Emperor has arrived"

At this time, a loud shout was heard, and a group of eunuchs dressed in gold and silver appeared carrying a sedan chair. In the front was a purple gold eight-treasure dragon sedan chair, on which sat Li Shimin, who was wearing a dragon robe and looked very majestic.

Behind Li Shimin followed four tall and strong guards with resolute faces. Each of them held a sword. Sun Wukong was wearing armor and holding a long sword, following beside him. There was no expression on his face, only a serious aura. The dragon chariot entered the square. All the soldiers who were guarding the periphery gathered together, separated the crowd and left a path. In this way, Li Shimin's dragon chariot entered the innermost part.

"Get off the sedan!"

The eunuch shouted in a shrill voice, and then the sedan chair stopped.

Li Shimin lifted the curtain, stepped down from the dragon chariot, and looked around. At this time, all the people, Sengmi and Xuanzang stood up and saluted Li Shimin.

"See Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin looked around and nodded, "No need to be polite, Master Xuanzang, let's start."

Li Shimin looked at Master Xuanzang on the platform and signaled him to start the water and land ceremony. Then he sat back on the dragon throne, waiting for the call for the water and land ceremony.

Master Xuanzang nodded slightly, then stood on the platform, clasped his hands together, chanted the Buddha's name, and read out the opening content of the Water and Land Assembly.

After that, the whole venue was filled with Sanskrit chants, and the eminent monks, arhats, and novice monks began to recite Buddhist scriptures, while Xuanzang began to promote Buddhism...

Sun Wukong stayed by Li Shimin's side and protected him tightly. Even though Li Shimin was the emperor of the human race, the future revival of the human race would still need Li Shimin's power. Even though Sun Wukong knew that Li Shimin would live to see the success of the Journey to the West, he still took precautions.

Amid the chanting of Buddhist scriptures, an old man's voice was heard, "I am selling the cassock. I am selling the cassock and the staff. If you can recognize this treasure, I will not take a penny. If you don't recognize this treasure, I will not sell it even for a high price."

Two monks, one old and one young, walked out slowly. The young monk held a folded robe in both hands, and the old monk held a nine-ring staff in his hand.

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chariot, looked at the two monks, one old and one young, with some curiosity, and called to the guards beside him, "Take those two people back to the palace."

Sun Wukong knew that the old monk and the young monk were the incarnations of Guanyin and his Hui'an practitioner Mu Zha, who came to the West specifically to give Xuanzang a brocade cassock and a nine-ring staff so that he could seek Buddhist scriptures.

Sun Wukong understood and escorted Li Shimin back to the palace.

In the palace, Li Shimin sat on the dragon throne in the imperial court, wearing a dragon robe, looking domineering and arrogant. Sun Wukong leaned over to serve him.

All the civil and military officials knelt and bowed: "Your Majesty, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long, long live the emperor!"

"Stand flat"

Li Shimin waved his hand, signaling them to stand up, and his eyes fell on the old and young monks who were the incarnations of Guanyin and Huian.

"Monk, how much do you want for your robes and staff?"

Li Shimin asked.

"The cassock is five thousand taels, and the staff is two thousand taels."

“So expensive”

"So much silver is needed!"

The ministers below all showed surprised expressions and began to whisper to each other, discussing how the monk's robe and staff could dare to be priced at seven thousand taels.

Li Shimin was also a little surprised when he heard this, but his surprise was accompanied by a hint of interest.

"It's worth so much silver, what good are your robes and staff?"

"The brocade robes are made from silk spun by ice silkworms, turned into thread by skilled craftsmen, woven by fairies, and woven by goddesses. Wearing my brocade robes will keep you from sinking into hell or suffering from evil. When you sit, ten thousand Buddhas will pay homage to you; when you move, seven Buddhas will follow you."

"Come here, quickly summon Master Xuanzang to see you."

“Yes, sir.”

A eunuch agreed and left immediately.
