Liaozhai: Starting from Inheriting Taoism

Chapter 292 Prelude to Journey to the West
Duke Yu's mansion, at this time Yin Kaishan had just returned from court and was drinking tea in the mansion.

"My lord, there is a monk who is seeking an audience outside, claiming to be your grandson, may I bring him in?"

After all, the servant looked at Yin Kaishan carefully, and after a closer look, the two really looked alike.

grandson!

Yin Kaishan looked at his servants suspiciously, he only had one daughter, and his daughter had died in Jiangzhou 15 years ago, how could he have an extra grandson for no apparent reason.

"Old Lin, it's not like you don't know about my situation. My daughter is gone, so where is my grandson? Let that monk go quickly."

Yin Kaishan was saddened by the sad incident, and the servant who was called Lao Lin did not go out immediately, but continued to say, "Master, you forgot. Miss had a child with uncle before she died, but After the miss died, the child also disappeared together. Counting the time, it should be 15 years old. The little monk outside does have some resemblance to you, and he is almost exactly the same as the uncle. Maybe it is that Maybe the child, why don't you meet him."

Yin Kaishan's heart moved when he heard the words, yes, he does have a grandson, thinking of this, Yin Kaishan was a little excited.

"Quickly, please, tell the boy to come in quickly, no, I will go myself."

After all, Yin Kaishan walked out of the mansion quickly.

In front of the gate of the mansion, Yin Kaishan looked at Xuanzang, "Like, really like", Xuanzang was almost carved out of the same mold as Chen Guangrui, "Son, what's your name, how did you find this place?"

Although they resemble each other, Yin Kaishan didn't rush to recognize each other, but wanted to confirm again.

Xuanzang looked at Yin Kaishan in front of him, is this his grandfather?

He bowed and saluted, "Grandfather, my name is Xuanzang, I was a monk at Jinshan Temple in Jiangzhou before. When I came down from the mountain, the presiding master told me about my life experience, so I came all the way to find it."

So that's the case. In fact, the moment he saw Xuanzang, Yin Kaishan was convinced that Xuanzang was his grandson, and now he is even more convinced after hearing the words, thinking that this child must have been born after the incident in Jiangzhou. He fell into the Jinshan Temple.

"Son, it's really hard for you. Come into the house soon. Your grandmother misses you two, and her hair is graying. Thinking of your mother, she shed tears all day long. If she knows that you are back, she will It will be very happy."

Xuanzang followed Yin Kaishan into the mansion, and Yin Kaishan's wife rushed over after hearing the news. When she saw Xuanzang, she didn't need Yin Kaishan's introduction, but she hugged him in her arms and cried, "I am so miserable!" baby..."

Xuanzang looked at his grandmother and was at a loss for a while, but his emotions were affected by his grandmother, and tears couldn't stop falling down.

After a long time, the three of them cried, and it was Yin Kaishan and his wife who asked about Xuanzang's situation for so many years. They felt a little distressed when they learned that Xuanzang had only stayed in the temple to study scriptures for so many years.

"Grandfather. Grandmother, besides looking for you when I came to the capital this time, the grandson heard that his father is still alive and is now working as a teacher in the Zhengqi Academy. Therefore, the grandson wants to meet his father. I don't know my grandfather. Grandmother may help me."

This is right, and Yin Kaishan nodded immediately. Since his wife died and his child disappeared 15 years ago, Chen Guangrui returned to the Zhengqi Academy and never came out again. Yin Kaishan and the others have not seen this son-in-law for more than ten years. After the discussion, Yin Kaishan drove out of the city with his wife and Xuanzang, planning to meet Chen Guangrui at Zhengqi Academy.

At this time, Chen Guangrui didn't know that his son had arrived in Chang'an and was still on his way to Zhengqi Academy.

For 15 years, Chen Guangrui has devoted himself to studying literature and Taoism. Now his cultivation level is no longer the same as in the past. He has almost reached the level of a bachelor. Chen Guangrui was defeated, and Chen Guangrui was also accomplished.

"Sir, Mr. Yin is here outside the academy, and he said he wants to see Mr."

father in law!

Chen Guangrui put down the book in his hand, feeling a little puzzled. It has been more than ten years since he met Yin Kaishan once after returning to Beijing, and the two of them have almost had no contact for more than ten years. Unexpectedly, his father-in-law came here on his own initiative today.

After all, it was his father-in-law, so Chen Guangrui didn't dare to delay, and hurried to the front of the school to greet him.

"Father-in-law, why are you here? If you have something to tell me, just tell me, my son-in-law will go to the house."

Yin Kaishan and his wife looked at Chen Guangrui and sighed in their hearts. The two of them missed their daughter, and Chen Guangrui felt sad, otherwise he wouldn't have lived in this school for more than ten years.

"Guangrui, who do you think this is?"

Yin Kaishan pushed Xuanzang in front of Chen Guangrui and asked him to identify it. Chen Guangrui looked at it and was stunned immediately. It looks like, it is so similar, this child is really too similar to himself.

And what is this feeling of being connected by blood.

"Father-in-law, is this?"

"Stupid child, this is your child. If the child hadn't come here, we wouldn't even know that the child is still alive. God bless, although Wen Jiao died, the child must live."

child!

Chen Guangrui looked at Xuanzang, weeping with joy, this is his own child, by the way, this is his own child, such blood throbbing, only his own child can be like this.

"Father!"

Xuanzang was well aware of his father's difficulty, and did not blame his father for his mother's death and his disappearance.

"Hey, son, it is father who is sorry for you. He has suffered for you for so many years."

It was another sad scene where father and son met. Yuanzheng stood on the attic and watched this scene. Tang Seng had arrived, and it was time for Journey to the West to begin. The monkey was about to be born.

On Lingshan Mountain in the west, Tathagata looks at Avalokitesvara.

"Guanyin, when Jin Chanzi's tenth life turned around, he had already arrived at the capital of Tang Dynasty, you can go now."

Avalokitesvara nodded when she heard the words. The magic sound has never appeared since that day when she fused with the black lotus. It seems that she really just lured herself into the magic way without any intention, but is it really that simple?

Abandoning those distracting thoughts, Guanyin returned to the South China Sea, made some preparations, and took Mu Zha to Nanzhan Buzhou.

Passing the Five Elements Mountain, Guanyin suddenly lowered the cloud head and came to the foot of the Five Elements Mountain.

"The Bodhisattva is you, you came to see the old grandson."

Sun Houzi was very happy looking at Guanyin. He still remembered what Ye Feng told him about the 500-year period. Now that the 500-year period is approaching, Guanyin will not come to let him go out.

"Monkey, you are so happy to see me. It seems that you are very comfortable staying in the Five Elements Mountain."

Sun Houzi was overjoyed, and secretly scolded the Bodhisattva for being unreal. He was suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain for 500 years. He felt uncomfortable, and Guanyin would not know it.

Seeing Sun Houzi turned away from her like a tantrum, Guanyin also smiled a little.

"Okay, your hard days are coming to an end. The Buddha is merciful and willing to give you a chance to redeem your sins and escape from the sea of ​​suffering. It depends on whether you can grasp it."

Sun Houzi immediately became happy again when he heard the words, and secretly thought that Ye Feng did not lie to him, and that he really had the opportunity to get out of the Five Elements Mountain, "Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, if you have any chance, just say it, as long as you can get out of the Five Elements Mountain, my grandson and I I promise you all."

Avalokitesvara looked at the eager look of the monkey and shook his head, "A monk will pass by recently. This monk is ordered by Emperor Tang to go to Xitianling Mountain to obtain Mahayana Buddhist scriptures. He will save all living beings and save you from the mountain. This is the monk, but after he rescued you from the Five Elements Mountain, you need to recognize him as your teacher and support him to go to the west to obtain the scriptures. A buddha fruit, what do you think."

"Good good!"

The monkey agreed without thinking at all. In his opinion, the monk rescued him, and he should recognize him as a master. As for going to the Western Paradise to learn Buddhist scriptures, it will only take a few years. He doesn't care about Buddhahood. After a few years of hard work, the most important thing is to regain my freedom.

"Hmph, it's a pleasure for you monkey head to agree. If you can't protect your master by then, be careful that the Buddha will escort you back to the Five Elements Mountain."

Seeing Guanyin's feigned anger, Monkey hurriedly accompanied him.

"Bodhisattva, don't worry, it's not like you don't know my old grandson's abilities. It's just going to the Western Heaven to obtain the scriptures. It's simple and simple."

Seeing Sun Houzi's ignorant appearance, Guanyin didn't bother to explain to him, if it was so easy to measure the protagonist, it wouldn't be called measuring the robbery.

"Okay, you still have to wait patiently, your teacher will arrive soon."

"Thank you Bodhisattva, thank you Bodhisattva."

Watching Avalokitesvara leave, the descendants and monkeys are now happy. He is finally expected to leave the Five Elements Mountain, and he doesn't know what happened to his monkeys and grandchildren on that mountain.

Chang’an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, since Xuanzang met Yin Kaishan and Chen Guangrui a few years ago, he followed his teacher’s orders and came to Ci’en Temple to practice. The Ci’en Temple is indeed the largest temple in the Tang Dynasty. The Buddhist scriptures in it are far from Jinshan Temple Comparable, but no matter how many Buddhist scriptures there are, Xuanzang is too clever. In just a few years, he has already penetrated all the scriptures in the Ci'en Temple.

Today, Xuanzang is already the highest Buddhist monk in Ci'en Temple, and he holds lectures from time to time to explain Buddhist scriptures to a group of monks.

On this day, Tang Emperor Li Shimin suddenly saw two black and white figures walking in front of him in his sleep. Arrived at Yan Luo Hall.

Li Shimin saw all kinds of horrific punishments and ghosts in hell, and was so frightened that his heart was torn apart.

Do you know who these two figures are, aren't they Hei Wuchang, the emissary of the chief official of the Yin Division, who seduces the soul? It turns out that Tang Emperor Li Shimin's lifespan has expired, and Yan Jun sent Hei Wuchang to seduce the soul.

In the Hall of Yan Luo, Lord Yan sits on the main seat, with the judge and the heads of the six divisions on the left and right.

"Where is this? Who are you?"

Li Shimin looked at the eerie aura and was a little scared. Seeing the appearance of Yan Jun and others, he couldn't help but speculate in his heart, but he didn't want to believe it for a while.

"Human Sovereign, your lifespan has come, and now it's time for your soul to return to the underworld."

Ghost is hell, is he dead?

Feeling unwilling, "Yan Jun, I am in my prime of life, how can I have reached the end of my lifespan, could it be a mistake?"

Yan Jun heard that the book of life and death was indeed taken by someone, and he checked it carefully, "Human Emperor, according to the book of life and death, you are indeed at the end of your lifespan. You have killed too much in your life, making this hell full of dead souls and resentment." The entanglement makes you not live long, and it is understandable that your lifespan is exhausted now."

Hearing this, Li Shimin thought of the tragic scene he saw when he came here, and he felt that he had killed too much in his life, but he still had so many ideas that he had not implemented, and so many political ambitions that had not been realized, how could he? Can die now.

"Yan Jun, I am willing to make up for my mistakes, treat the people kindly, and resolve grievances. I also ask Yan Jun to let me go back. As long as Yan Jun can let me go back, I will be rewarded generously."

Big report!

The others don't matter, but this sentence was heard by Yan Jun, "Human Emperor, in my mansion, there are wax gourds, watermelons, and northern melons, but pumpkins are missing. If you are willing to offer pumpkins, I will not taste it." It shall not add twenty years to your life."

Li Shimin is so smart that he understood Yan Jun's meaning almost instantly, and nodded immediately, "Don't worry, Yan Jun, as long as you let me go back, I will definitely offer pumpkins."

Yan Jun was also happy when he heard the words. Not only did he complete the deal with the West, but he also brought him the right to reincarnation in a continent.

It turns out that the idea of ​​Li Shimin's soul-hunting is also from the Buddhist school. The purpose is to let Li Shimin resolve his grievances in order to promote the Westward Journey. There will be exceptions.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Yan Jun did not want to keep Li Shimin anymore, so he asked Black and White Wuchang to send Li Shimin back again.

Righteous School Palace.

After leaving Wuxing Mountain, Guanyin did not go to Chang'an City first, but came to the culprit who injured herself.

"Please report to the master of the academy, Guanyin, for an audience!"

Similar to the beginning, but this time Guanyin's attitude is much better. After all, in the practice world, the strong are respected. Since Yuanzheng has the quasi-sage practice, then he took the initiative to find trouble, and he was injured by himself.

Now that the Zhengqi Academy's status in the Tang Dynasty is greater, it has become a big mountain in front of the Buddhist plan. If Yuanzheng is just a Taiyi or even a big Luo, the secret point of Buddhism can solve it, but this Yuan Zheng is still a quasi-sage and powerful. In this era when the six sages are not out, among the Buddhist sects, even a few Buddhas may not be able to take him down.

What's more, behind Yuanzheng there is the entire Huoyun Cave supporting him. Now Yuanzheng can't move or say anything. For the sake of Buddhism, the Buddha can only ask Guanyin to come to reconcile. After all, the prosperity of Buddhism is the general trend. I don't believe that Yuanzheng, a quasi-sage and great power, will stand alone against the general trend for a moment of grievances, not to mention that Guanyin was the one who suffered the last time, and Guanyin is also responsible for Yuanzheng's breakthrough.

For some reason, after Avalokitesvara became a demon, her state of mind became more open. After switching to Buddhism, male and female appearances, and abandoning the Buddha, Avalokitesvara felt that her heart was getting wider and wider, and she was able to endure what ordinary people could not bear. .

In the Zhengqi Academy, Yuanzheng sensed that Heilian had stopped in front of the Academy, which was a little strange.

"Teacher, there is someone outside the door asking for an interview, claiming to be Master Guanyin."

It really is Guanyin, what is he doing here?
Although he was puzzled, Yuanzheng was not prepared to continue to stop Guanyin, after all, Guanyin can be regarded as half of his own person now.
