those things in heaven

Xuanzang's face was pale when he left the palace. These days, it is common to cut flesh to serve relatives. Back then, Yi Ya cooked his own son for Duke Huan of Qi to eat. As a courtier, he offered some flesh and blood to the emperor, although it seemed flattering. Some, but if you look at it carefully, it just seems to be loyal.

The emperor himself opened his mouth, not asking for immortality, but to save the queen's life. In the Buddhist scriptures, the meat of the Buddha, such as eagles and tigers, was eaten. Since you are a disciple of the Buddha, why don't you give a little? Give it to your father and mother!What's more, it's just two pieces of meat, and it's not about your life.

Therefore, even though Xuanzang was unwilling, he still had nothing to say in the end. The imperial doctor personally cut off two pieces of flesh and blood from Xuanzang's arms, cooked them himself, and served them to the queen and the emperor.Human Sovereign is fine, he is in his prime at the moment, even if he is really immortal, he can't see it now, but the queen is actually a piece of meat, and she who was unconscious before woke up very quickly He came here, and his complexion looked much better. According to the imperial doctor, he looked like he had taken some kind of tonic.

There is a precedent for the empress, and suddenly, those who knew about this incident looked at Xuanzang in the wrong way. The emperor vowed that he would never spread this matter, so that Xuanzang could rest assured.The problem is how can Xuanzang feel at ease, therefore, he almost escaped out of the palace as if he was being killed by an evil ghost, and he felt no nostalgia or shrinking in his heart, and he wished he could hurry to go to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures right now. good.

Qingxi and I have been peeping in the dark, Qingsi almost fell down with joy, Buddhism has tampered with Xuanzang's body, I don't know what kind of treasures were fed to him, so when he is an adult , this flesh and blood is indeed like a panacea, with extraordinary effects.But the problem is, Buddhism has done such tricks, so naturally Xuanzang can't really be eaten by others, so there are naturally restrictions, for example, under what circumstances, his flesh and blood can have such a function.Therefore, it stands to reason that the bit of flesh and blood that the Emperor asked people to cut off is actually useless. However, Qing Si, who was born in the Tushita Palace, was secretly there, so Qing Si directly threw a little Laojun into the boiling water. Although the refined golden elixir is probably just leftovers in Laojun's place, to mortals, these are really elixir of living flesh and bones. It is to make people light and healthy, and it is difficult to suffer from all kinds of diseases.

Although the Emperor ordered to keep his mouth shut, there is no one in his heart who does not continue to make up his mind. As an emperor who will live forever, he naturally cannot let his children lose their lives. I am afraid that now it is just a tactic to delay the army, just waiting for Xuanzang to return from learning the scriptures , Keep this human-shaped elixir and eat it for a long time!

Therefore, worrying that Xuanzang would be unlucky on the way, the emperor, regardless of the objections of his subordinates, actually dispatched a good soldier from the Imperial Forest Army to escort Xuanzang all the way to Lingshan. Xuanzang complained in his heart, but he was helpless, after all, Human Sovereign is doing this for his own safety, what else can he say?

The monarchs and ministers put on a play, the emperor personally sent a group of people out of Chang'an, helped Xuanzang onto the horse with his own hands, and watched the group leave from a distance. He made enough gestures to amaze the people. The minister was also quite puzzled, and secretly inquired, but within a few days, there was news from the palace privately about what happened that night. Immediately, all the civil and military officials wanted to beat their chests and stamp their feet, and some just wished they could order someone Traveling day and night, I caught up with Xuanzang and his party, so that I could cut a piece of his body and let myself taste the taste of immortality.

Someone really put it into practice, but of course they failed. Xuanzang was also worried that the night would be long and dreamy, so he traveled day and night, and there was help from the Buddhist sect secretly. However, in just half a month, Xuanzang went out of the border. I breathed a sigh of relief.

Qingxi and I have seen enough of the jokes, and the Taoist sect is secretly fanning the flames again, only saying that the Buddhist sect has bad intentions, and you must know that the Holy Son of Heaven is invulnerable to all evil, if there is no secret tampering with the Buddhist sect, no matter whether he is a wicked dragon or an unjust soul, don’t even think about getting close The purpose of being within ten feet of the emperor is to learn from the scriptures.

Human Sovereign was frightened just before, this family respects the Laojun, and now they are treating Buddhism with such courtesy, so it is inevitable that they are also a little worried, so they hurriedly went to meet several Taoist masters in person, and then they were killed by those few. The inside story revealed between the two words is quite frightening, this is a fight between gods, and mortals suffer!I regretted it for a while, and wished to chase Xuanzang and his party back immediately, but the Taoist figured it out and went straight to the road, but he couldn't chase him back. Xuanzang just left the border, and someone ordered the demon to accompany him The imperial army and novice monks were all killed, leaving only Xuanzang. When the emperor heard this, he immediately regretted it. He was worried about what those ghosts would do, so he should keep Xuanzang on that day and make it an elixir of life. , the whole family will live forever, as for those lonely ghosts, when they are alive, he is not afraid, since everyone is dead, there is nothing to be afraid of!

In particular, now that the Human Sovereign has come to his senses, the Taoist sect also has the means to subdue demons and eliminate demons. What to do with those unjust souls, just tell them to fly away, so as not to continue to embarrass themselves in the future. As for the matter of the underworld, At that time, I will be immortal, and I am afraid of what the hell will do. They can control the dead, but can they control themselves?What's more, according to the masters of Taoism, they should compensate themselves for the so-called Yangshou that the underworld gave them that day. After all, they made tricks to make that evil dragon and evil ghosts approach them. Karma should have been repaid in the first place. Thinking about it this way, Human Sovereign only felt that he was fascinated by ghosts before. Thinking about it again, Buddhism is used to such tricks to deceive people. Therefore, Human Sovereign naturally has no gratitude at the moment. I just feel that my heart is full of anger.

The Taoist side volunteered. After all, the Daoist sect has been happy to cooperate with the Emperor Houtu these years. With the support of the Emperor Houtu, it is natural to have a share in the underworld. What's more, for so many years, Tianzun Taiyi has been working with Ksitigarbha The king and Bodhisattva are divided into courts to resist the rituals. On the other side of the underworld, the reason why the kings of the ten halls of Hades did it this time is because they are under the jurisdiction of the Jade Emperor, and they have always had some contacts with the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. They have tossed so many things before. I have been unhappy with this for a long time, so I was thinking of taking advantage of it, and this time I provoke the emperor, and immediately became famous as a teacher, so I started to do it directly.

First of all, those lonely souls and wild ghosts were rescued, which was regarded as an explanation to the Emperor, and then they began to rectify the underworld, and questioned the Ten Hall King Xingshi.Over the past few years, the underworld has dropped some clues, such as accepting bribes, relying on the control of the book of life and death, and modifying it arbitrarily.

Waiting to see that the Buddhist sect that has just been prosperous for a few days is suppressed again. When the country was founded, the royal family issued an order. Although there was no explicit order to destroy the Buddha, it was an order. As a false monk, anyone who sees him can be captured as a slave and used as hard labor.

Later, this matter was gradually relaxed. Many people became monks to avoid corvee taxes, or donated their land to temples, and became tenants of temples themselves. Many people also turned a blind eye.Now that he brought up the old things again, he also said that the Buddhas of others valued the offerings in the world. Could it be that they have already become Buddhas and ancestors, and they still value the vulgar things in the world? Just a little incense. Those monks in the human world have enjoyed it, but they don’t know how to practice hard, and they can’t respect the true meaning of Buddhism.

Therefore, the imperial court made another law, and the temples will not be forcibly demolished. However, the number of degrees for each temple is limited. In addition, each temple can only have ten acres of land as a vegetable field. As for those monks who want to eat other If you don’t want something, then you can go for alms, this is also your duty as a monk, isn’t it.If someone believes in the Buddha and enshrines the land, the imperial court will not stop it. However, these fields have to be heavily taxed. If you are a monk, you will not be taxed!

After several decrees came down, it seems that they did not completely kill Buddhism, but they also dealt a serious blow to Buddhism. There are some foolish people who believe in Buddhism, but for those who become monks, what kind of Buddhism do they really believe in? , That’s really a minority, nothing more than breaking the law, becoming a monk to avoid disaster, or evading corvee and military service.Now the imperial court wants to check what degree, where did these people get the degree.Duti is not something you can get just by saying you want to become a monk. You have to be familiar with the scriptures, and you have to be guaranteed by someone. Of course, you have to pay a sum of money in the end. Therefore, for a while, Buddhism is in chaos.

The monks shouted that Avalokitesvara had appeared before, that the court disrespected Buddhism, and that they would be punished by the gods when they turned around. They immediately called a group of Daomen to scold them back. No way, what kind of Buddhism can you represent? Doesn’t the imperial court respect those eminent monks who are familiar with the scriptures?

In short, not long after Xuanzang left, the Buddhism in Nanzhan Buzhou suffered a serious blow, and it was in a state of collapse.

Qingsi and I have seen enough of the jokes, then Qingsi smiled and said: "The master said, let us wait on the westbound road, and make some trouble for those people when we turn around, it can be regarded as helping them!"

There is no other way for Buddhism. Xihe Niuzhou's gang of monsters ran without a trace. It is difficult for Buddhism to make up 81, and it is not easy. It can't really be all those mounts called Buddhism. It would be a joke for the Yaozu and boys to come out of Lingshan to make up the numbers.Therefore, he had no choice but to be cheeky and find the Jade Emperor again. The Jade Emperor simply hinted secretly that he still had some confidantes, so he chose the opportunity to go down to earth, and pretended to obstruct Xuanzang and his party from learning scriptures. .

This kind of thing is nothing more than deceiving one's ears and stealing one's bell. Therefore, when Taishang Laojun heard the news, he simply intervened and asked Qingsi to go down to earth with me, and it will be easy to do things when the time comes.
