The road to technology

Chapter 480 Li Er's Exploration

Avalokitesvara looked at Li Shimin in the crowd and was quite emotional. She didn't know what it would be like when the Tripitaka was passed on here in the future. They all said that Buddha can see through the past and future, but she couldn't see through the future.

At this moment, Li Shimin had already got off the steam car, led many officials into the venue, and ordered the musical instruments to be stopped.

The Tiance army held the horse's head and looked around with a vigilant look. The Cangyun army soldiers followed Li Shimin closely. The banners of the two armies and the banners arranged in the meeting place in Huasheng Temple complement each other.

The golden elephant of the Tathagata Buddha in the temple looks perfect, and the sculptures of arhats lined up look majestic and majestic. Various bottles and jars are filled with flowers, and the incense burner is burning with sandalwood, and the smoke is lingering.

Because of Li Shimin's arrival, Master Xuanzang had stopped giving lectures at this time.

I saw Li Shimin leading all the civil and military officials into the temple, and they all held incense and put a few pillars in front of the golden elephant of the Tathagata.

Then Master Xuanzang led all the monks to visit Li Shimin.

After seeing the ceremony, everyone sat down separately.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji, who followed Li Shimin, walked to the center, spread out the silk in his hand, and read aloud: "All subjects listen to the decree."

After seeing everyone saluting, Changsun Wuji continued to read aloud: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the edict said: The universe is vast, the flood is vast, the heaven and the earth are righteous, and the domain is vast, and the world's people, gods, immortals, Buddhas, demons, ghosts, Each should live in its own place and do its own thing, this is all natural.

However, I feel sorry for the previous ghosts and ghosts. It is still difficult for me to have a real dragon protecting my body, let alone the subjects of the world?
Therefore, I want to suppress it, so that all the demons and sprites will return to their places, and all ghosts and dead souls will go.

Those who have heard of the Buddha today have prospered since many dynasties, promoted goodness and curbed evil, and secretly helped the country.The Buddha is pure and benevolent, and the Buddha is empty. Since Zhou Wu, the five patriarchs were reincarnated, and Bodhidharma appeared. There are boundless magic methods that can eliminate all injustices.

Therefore, it is specially ordered to hold a water and land Dharma meeting, and select monks to participate in Zen and teach the Dharma.Open the door of convenience, transport the boat of compassion, and help all living beings in the sea of ​​suffering, and avoid the six paths of serious illness.Take advantage of my grand meeting, guide you back to the true way, escape from the cage of hell, and reach the limit of freedom early, you can travel to and from the west freely! "

Li Shimin looked very uncomfortable when he heard the imperial edict issued in his own name, but for his own goal, he held back and asked Changsun Wuji to finish reading it.

After reading, the following will enter the formal content of the land and water conference.

Master Xuanzang continued to ascend to the seat, gathered people to recite the scriptures and lectured on the Dharma, but Li Shimin himself only listened to it for a long time before driving back to the palace.

In this way, the water and land meeting continued. Seven days later, Guanyin finally came back from the South China Sea again. This time she put on a wooden scorpion, and then started to act. The two first deliberately sold the brocade cassock and the nine-ring tin battle at a high price, and then caused a lot of trouble. The officials noticed and reported to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin got Yue Yuanzhou's instruction, of course he fully cooperated.I bought these two free things and gave them to Master Xuanzang.

Then Master Xuanzang wore a brocade cassock and held a nine-ringed tin staff and began to teach the Dharma again. Day after day, finally at the 49th day of the water and land ceremony, Avalokitesvara appeared again, saying that Master Xuanzang only knows Theravada Dharma, but not After learning Mahayana Buddhism, he debated with Xuanzang at the venue.

Li Shimin, who got the news, rushed to the scene quickly, and then reprimanded him a few words.

Unexpectedly, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva looked directly at him and explained the reason for her argument: "Your mage taught the Hinayana Dharma, which cannot save the soul of the dead to ascend to heaven. I have the Tripitaka of Mahayana Dharma, which can save the dead from suffering and keep the body intact. "

Li Shimin still remembered what Yue Yuanzhou said at the time, and secretly thought it was true, but his face showed joy, and he asked very skillfully, "Where is your Mahayana Dharma?"

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said: "In the Daleiyin Temple of the Western Tianzhu Kingdom, where I am the Buddha Tathagata, I can untangle the knots of a hundred grievances and eliminate the disasters of innocence."

Li Shimin: "In that case, do you remember this method?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva: "Remember!"

Li Shimin is very talented in acting, he immediately showed joy, and said excitedly: "Mage, come and invite him quickly, and go to the stage to give a lecture."

It's just how could Guanyin give a lecture on Mahayana Buddhism here. She took Mu Zha up to the high platform, and took a few steps straight up. Auspicious clouds were born under her feet, and she went directly to the sky, revealing her real body.

Seeing this, more than [-] monks immediately knelt down and chanted 'Namo Guanshiyin Bodhisattva'.

These monks originally missed 'Nanwu Guanyin Bodhisattva'. After all, Li Shimin had issued an edict, but somehow, Guanyin was above their heads at this time. When they read it, somehow, it automatically became' Namo Avalokiteshvara'.

Li Shimin, who was on the spot, heard the monks chanting so much, and his face immediately turned dark, but he reacted quickly and immediately returned to normal, but he did not bow down to Guanyin.

He was actually quite afraid, but after thinking about it, he is considered someone with a backer now, and the majestic Emperor of the Tang Dynasty didn't need to kneel down, so he stood upright like this, just a symbolic gift to the heavenly Guanyin arched his hands.

Li Shimin's actions were in stark contrast to those present. The few courtiers who followed him, seeing him like this, also followed Li Shimin and bowed their hands. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

At this time, next to Guanyin, the Venerable Hui An who was also standing on the head of the cloud was also Mu Zha. He immediately shouted: "Bold! You ordinary people, you are not saluting when you see the Bodhisattva!"

At this time, next to Li Shimin, a burly man with a flowing beard and a handsome appearance, who looked much older than Li Shimin, came out, looked up at the Guanyin in the sky, and said, "So that the Bodhisattva will know, my lord the Tang Dynasty." His Majesty the Emperor is the son of heaven, although he is an ordinary person, he is recognized by the heaven and the earth. Besides, I believe that worshiping the Buddha lies in the sincerity of the heart, and that Bodhisattvas are superior people, if you treat them with the courtesy of ordinary people, you will be at a disadvantage."

"It's unreasonable, who are you? You have a good mouth, and you can say such nonsense!" Mu Zha said angrily, and now he really wants to go down and beat this person up.

At this time, Li Shimin replied: "This is my military god of the Tang Dynasty, and so is Wei Gong Li Jing!"

Mu Zha's heart bulged: Li Jing?

Didn't his father happen to be called Li Jing? It's really unreasonable that this guy has the same name as his father.

Avalokitesvara also wanted to teach Li Shimin a lesson, but now Li Shimin seems to be weird everywhere, so she said after thinking about it: "The emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty are indeed full of talents. It really has a predestined relationship with my Buddha."

When she was speaking, she stopped Mu Zha, who was still about to continue to criticize, and then raised her hand casually, only to see a golden light suddenly appear in mid-air, and a sticky note fell in front of everyone in the light.

When Li Shimin looked at it, he saw a few lines of words written in a bright gold: "Li Shang Tang Jun, there are wonderful writings in the west, the journey is thousands of miles, and the Mahayana is diligent. When this scripture returns to the kingdom of Shang, it can surpass the ghosts. Those who are willing to go, seek the golden body!"

After Li Shimin watched it, he was overjoyed, and thought to himself that Avalokitesvara would not dare to do anything to me.

So he immediately announced: "Temporarily suspend the grand meeting, and wait until I send someone to obtain the Mahayana scriptures, and then be sincere and re-cultivate the good results. Who will accept my order and go to the west to seek the Tripitaka?"

There is no doubt that Master Xuanzang must have come out to take over the job.

In order to show Xuanzang's identity, Li Shimin also specially recognized him as his younger brother. Anyway, he thought it was no big deal to have another younger brother. After all, he killed his own brother, so he still cared about having one more brother.

But surface work still needs to be done.

Guanyin saw that the dust had settled here in Chang'an, and after explaining to the nearby land and mountain gods, she returned to the South China Sea.
