Just in the Middle, You Told Me This is Journey to the West

If there is no behind-the-scenes pusher, it must be absolutely impossible.

It can't be that Guanyin Bodhisattva who has incarnated thousands of times and told the people of Chang'an City one by one.

This move is nothing more than the same as Chen Guangrui's a few months ago, there must be someone trying to create momentum for Chen Xuanzang.

However, this Zhan Tan Gongde Buddha's face is big enough to attract Guanyin Bodhisattva to come down to earth and personally create momentum for him.

This shows that Buddhism attaches great importance to Chen Xuanzang.

It's just that Chen Qi dared not get close to this kind of excitement, otherwise, if the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva saw through his footsteps and was treated as an extraterrestrial evil spirit, wouldn't he die unjustly.

Therefore, Chen Qi allowed Chang'an City to be bustling, but he closed his door to thank guests and studied hard alone.

He just told Chen An, the little book boy, to go out every day to inquire about the news, and report to him when he came back.

The Water and Land Conference will be held on July 49th.

Every seven days is regarded as a meeting, the first six days are chanted and prayed for blessings, and only the seventh day is regarded as a regular meeting, where Buddhist scriptures are preached.

It is now the eighth day, the first session has ended, and the second session is about to begin.

Chen Qi only needs to wait another 41 days before he can get rid of the obsessions of his predecessor and leave Chang'an City.

At that time, the sea will be wide and the fish will leap, and the height will be high enough for the birds to fly.

All kinds of things in Chang'an City will have nothing to do with him.

I only hope that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty on the dragon chair will be able to worship incense and pay respects to the Buddha like today, shouting that those who slander the Buddha will have their arms cut off!

After the little bookboy Chen An reported the strange things about Chang'an to Chen Qi, he left the house again and continued to inquire about the news.

However, less than half an hour later, the little bookboy Chen An trotted back again and said excitedly, "Young master, in Donghua Gate, Master Xuanzang is parading through the streets. Many people have gone to see it. Let's go too."

Chen Qi couldn't help shaking his head upon hearing this.

· · · · Flowers 0 0

A monk was parading through the streets boasting officials in Donghuamen, and he wondered if the Confucian masters and scholars would vomit blood angrily when they heard this.

Li Shimin's actions simply put the world's scholars at nothing.

Boasting officials parade the streets in Donghuamen!

This is a dream for scholars all over the world.

Now it was done by a monk.

This is a slap in the face of all scholars!

No, this is no longer a slap in the face of a scholar, but throwing the face of Confucianism on the ground for the monk to step on!

I don't know how the Confucian scholars will "praise" Li Shimin, the wise emperor, after this incident.

To be honest, since the Dragon King of Jinghe made a move to trap the Golden Dragon of Fortune in the Tang Dynasty, and the soul of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty wandered into the underworld.

..... 0 ......

He felt that Li Shimin was like a different person.

Although the original Li Shimin could not be called a sage, he could not be arbitrary.

But he is also a qualified king who has a city in his chest and does things in an orderly manner.

However, what Li Shimin did when he came back from his soul was completely challenging Chen Qi's three views and bottom line.

It's like being forcibly reduced intellect, and it doesn't look like the same person at all in comparison.

This made Chen Qi have to wonder whether the Buddhist sect had the audacity to switch Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, the most unimaginable thing is that not only Li Shimin seems to have been demoted, but even the civil and military men of the Tang Dynasty seem to have suddenly lost their minds.

Instead of blocking Li Shimin's various operations, he fully supported them.

Even Prime Minister Wei Zhengwei, who used to feel uncomfortable if he didn't hate Li Shimin, seemed to be a different person, disappearing the whole time, directly ignoring Li Shimin's various incredible behaviors.

Under such a weird situation, it's no wonder Chen Qi dared to show his face.

So after hearing Chen An's words, he shook his head and said, "You go, after reading it, remember to come back and talk to me, young master."

After dismissing the little book boy Chen An, Chen Qi just shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Pick up the Confucian classics in your hand and read them again.

It doesn't matter whether the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty behaved strangely, or Li Shimin was dropped.

None of this has anything to do with him.

With his small body, he can't participate in the overall situation in front of him.

Therefore, instead of guessing randomly, it is better to study hard behind closed doors and learn more basic Confucian classics.zero.

Chapter 101

Time flies, time is like twisting fingers.

Unknowingly, 41 days have passed since Chen Xuanzang paraded through the streets of Donghuamen, wearing a brocade cassock and holding a nine-ringed tin staff.

This day is the regular meeting of water and land, and it is enough to follow seven to seven.

In other words, after today, the land and water conference held by the Tang court will come to an end.

Thousands of monks in Chang'an City will also go back and forth from where.

People in Chang'an don't have to worry about Buddhist eminent monks coming to alms alms every day.

On this day, it was rare for Chen Qi not to study, but stood in his small courtyard, looking towards the direction of Huasheng Temple in the south of the city.

If he remembered correctly, it was also today.

Avalokitesvara, who descended to the earth to find someone to learn the Buddhist scriptures, would appear in his real body and enlighten Chen Xuanzang to go to the west to seek Mahayana Buddhist scriptures.

Thinking of this, Chen Qi also had a strange expression.

Because according to the original book of Journey to the West, it is: "To go to the west to learn the scriptures, the journey is one hundred and eight thousand miles, and you need to go through ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties before you can reach the place where my Buddha Tathagata is at the Daleiyin Temple in the Great Western Tianzhu Kingdom."

Then the problem is coming.

The land area of ​​Datang in this world is 330 million miles.

You are so far away, can you go out of the Tang Dynasty?

　 　Chen Qi was very curious about this.

It's a pity that the Jinghe Dragon King has fled far away to the West Sea, otherwise Chen Qi would have been able to ask him for advice.

At the same time, Chen Qi also had another guess in mind.

That is, the so-called one hundred and eight thousand miles is just an imaginary number, or the path taken by Tang Seng and the others is not the orthodox path of the earth and immortal world, but a "short-cut path" specially dug out for them by Lingshan Buddhism.

In addition, there is another saying that the "li" here is not the "li" of the Tang Dynasty, but the "miles" of Tianzhu in the one hundred and eight thousand li traveled by the Tang monk and his disciples to learn the scriptures from the west.

It is really one hundred and eight thousand yojanas.

Yojan, a unit of length in Tianzhu.

Volume [-] of "Notes on the Vimalakirti Sutra" says: "The number of miles from Tianzhu is also named. The upper period is sixty miles, the middle period is fifty miles, and the lower period is forty miles."

That is to say, Tang Seng’s journey to learn Buddhist scriptures is not one hundred and eight thousand miles, but needs to be multiplied by sixty or forty after the one hundred and eight thousand miles.

In terms of miles, that is Upper Yojana, which is 640 miles.

Or middle yojan, 540 million miles.

Or in the next Yojana, 430 miles.

In short, based on the calculation of one hundred and eight thousand yojanas, it is definitely possible to get out of the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no need to worry about wandering around the door.

As for whether you can go to the Great Leiyin Temple in the Great Western Tianzhu Kingdom in Xiniu Hezhou, then I don't know.

Of course, Chen Qi also prefers that Tang Seng and his disciples traveled one hundred and eight thousand yojanas rather than one hundred and eight thousand miles.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to look directly at the journey to learn from the Western Paradise.

It really took hundreds of thousands of miles to go from Chang'an City of Datang in Dongsheng Shenzhou to Daxitian Leiyin Temple in Xiniu Hezhou.

How big should this Immortal World be? It would only be the size of a hundred earths if you die.

With such a small area, how can you embarrass people in the earth and fairy world?

There are so many demons, ghosts, immortals and Buddhas crowded among the earth immortals, isn't it too crowded?

Chen Qi was thinking in a mess, but his eyes kept looking towards the Huasheng Temple in the south of Chang'an City.

He didn't blink his eyes, lest he miss the appearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Hey, he has grown so big, he has never seen a living Bodhisattva yet.

I really want to miss this time, maybe I won't be able to see him again in my lifetime.

Therefore, Chen Qi really didn't dare to blink his eyes, just to see what the living Guanyin Bodhisattva looks like.

Waiting and waiting, the waiting flowers are almost withering.

At ten o'clock at noon, the sun rose to the highest altitude, grilling the earth with fiery heat.

To the south of Chang'an City, a vision finally appeared.

The immeasurable Buddha's light bloomed, directly covering the brilliance of the great sun in the sky.

In the immeasurable Buddha's light, the Avalokitesvara, who appears to save the suffering, stands on the sky, with his feet on the auspicious clouds, holding a clean bottle of willow, and looks at the sentient beings in Chang'an City with compassion, as if he is the only one in the world. .

Behind her, Mucha Hui'an, sticking to the stick, is full of energy.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva appeared to save suffering, not to mention ordinary people in Chang'an City, even Tang Wang Li Shimin worshiped to the sky, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty even knelt down and burned incense.

As for the thousands of youdao monks in Chang'an City, tears filled their eyes with excitement, they knelt down on the ground, and shouted the name of "Nanwu Guanshiyin Bodhisattva".

It's not easy. I have practiced Zen and worshiped Buddha for most of my life.

Today I finally saw the living Bodhisattva.

This matter will last a lifetime after they go back.

Of course, not everyone in Chang'an City knelt down.
