Intercept the second disciple

Chapter 339

"Would you like to go to the West?" Avalokitesvara asked again when Xuanzang hesitated.

The Buddha's light shines on the sky, and a scene appears in front of Xuanzang: countless mortals are struggling to survive in the world.

Xuanzang felt compassion, and at this moment another mountain appeared in front of Xuanzang. There seemed to be infinite bliss in the mountain, and there was a temple in that mountain. There were four large characters on the gate of the temple: Daleiyin Temple.

The gate of the Daleiyin Temple was suddenly opened, and countless Buddha Arhats in the Daleiyin Temple were chanting sutras, but at this moment, the Buddha who was sitting on top suddenly smiled and stopped lecturing.

The Buddha raised his head and looked at Xuanzang with a smile. At the same time, all the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in the Great Leiyin Temple also looked at Xuanzang at the same time.

The magic power of countless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Daleiyin Temple is gathered together, so there are endless Buddha treasures in Daleiyin Temple, and there are countless golden lotuses, with books in the lotus, which can save sentient beings.

The Buddhas are speechless, but Xuanzang has already understood the meaning of the Buddhas: This is my bliss in the Western Paradise, here are the magic scriptures, can you imagine, dare, come to my Western Land to seek the scriptures?

"Disciple is willing." This was the final test of the Buddhas for Xuanzang. If ordinary people saw this scene, they would either be terrified with fear, or they would first want to seek a transcendent future for themselves.

Xuanzang stood up, and Xuanzang looked directly at the Buddhas: he is willing to be the parents of the family, and he is also willing to go to the West to obtain the scriptures for the world.

Willing to be parents, willing to be the common people, but not for himself alone!
"Okay," the Buddhas nodded, and Avalokitesvara also said, "Since you have this heart, you should have no regrets in this life no matter what. Is it possible for you to do it?"

Xuanzang paused in front of Avalokitesvara and said: "The disciple is a monk, since he has this heart, he should give up the world of mortals and riches."

"From then on, wind, frost, rain and snow can't block my way, wolves, tigers and leopards can't move my will, no matter how high the mountains are and how far the roads are, no matter how far the mountains and rivers are, I just... go west all the way!"

Avalokitesvara nodded and smiled, the matter of the Buddhist scriptures has been settled, but I don't know if Xuanzang knows about Ksitigarbha, and Ksitigarbha's willingness to go to hell may not be because of his mother.

The Buddha often advises people to escape into Buddhism, but the Buddha always persuades people from the place of sentient beings.

···
In the palace, Li Shimin is playing chess with Wei Zheng.

However, Li Shimin's mind was not on the chessboard. Li Shimin picked up a chess piece and asked, "Is there really death and resurrection in the world?"

Wei Zheng knew what Li Shimin was talking about, but Wei Zheng didn't believe it: "Although Chen Guangrui claims to be resurrected from the dead, he has never seen it with his own eyes, so he dare not speak falsely. Maybe it's based on rumors."

"Aiqing is right, play chess, play chess." Li Shimin said with a smile: "Today, be a good student and play two games with Aiqing."

But Li Shimin was thinking about something else: If there is a resurrection from the dead, will the souls of those who died in the Xuanwumen Incident crawl out of the ground, and will my father, who was depressed in his later years, find himself to settle accounts?
Seeing that Li Shimin's face was a little pale, Wei Zheng said, "Your Majesty, why don't you come down here first?"

Li Shimin also had no intention of playing chess, but at this moment he saw the dazzling Buddha light in the city, Li Shimin summoned the eunuch beside him to inquire, and one eunuch said: "That is the prime minister's mansion, it is said that Chen Guangrui who came back from the dead lived there."

Li Shimin stared blankly at the Buddha's light, and finally ordered: "Bring Chen Guangrui into the palace."

···
Chen Guangrui came, Li Shimin looked at Chen Guangrui and said, "Is Aiqing the number one scholar in Zhenguan for 13 years?"

"Your Majesty remembers correctly, I did take the exam in the 13th year of Zhenguan."

"More than ten years have passed, and Aiqing is still young!" Li Shimin sighed in a low voice, and then Li Shimin hesitated for a moment and then asked: "It is said that Aiqing died and came back to life. Aiqing has been dead for more than ten years. In the underworld?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I did not stay in the underworld for a long time, my minister's soul was rescued by the river god shortly after entering the underworld, but I still saw that there are countless wronged souls in the underworld, and many of them stayed in the underworld and never reincarnated."

"It turns out that there really is an underworld," Li Shimin said, "I'm a little tired today, Ai Qing should step down first."

That night, Li Shimin had a nightmare. In the dream, dozens of anti-kings clamored for revenge, but what frightened Li Shimin the most was his brother Li Jiancheng looking for his life with his head.

Li Shimin woke up from his sleep, looking at his gray beard, Li Shimin knew that he would not live long, and one day he would go to the underworld.

From this day on, Li Shimin heard ghosts crying every night. Even though Li Shimin recruited Qin Qiong and others to guard him, Li Shimin still felt uneasy.

That night after Li Shimin fell asleep, he suddenly dreamed that Avalokitesvara walked into his dream, and Avalokitesvara said, "Your Majesty is afraid of what will happen next, why don't you follow me to the underworld."

"Who are you?" Li Shimin asked involuntarily.

"I am the merciful and compassionate Namo Guanshiyin Bodhisattva. I cannot bear to see Your Majesty suffer, so I am here to rescue Your Majesty."

Avalokitesvara walked in front, Li Shimin hesitated for a while and followed in Avalokitesvara's footsteps.

Li Shimin only took a few steps before he saw a bridge. On the bridge, the cold wind was rolling, the waves of blood were surging, and the sound of howling was endless.Li Shimin couldn't help asking: "Bodhisattva, where is this?"

Avalokitesvara said: "This is the Naihe Bridge."

Avalokitesvara did not take Li Shimin to cross the bridge. Avalokitesvara pointed her hand and saw countless bull-headed horses raising iron and copper hammers all around, beating men and women bloody. , very desperate.

"Your Majesty may have to walk here once in the future." Guan Shiyin said softly.

Li Shimin was shocked. At this time, he saw a group of ghosts with legs and headless walking over the Naihe Bridge. When they saw Li Shimin, they all shouted: "Give me my life! Give me my life!"

The one in the lead was Li Jiancheng, and beside Li Jiancheng was Li Yuanji, both of them held their heads in their hands, the head saw endless resentment in Li Shimin's eyes.

Immediately, the temperature in the underworld dropped a lot, Li Shimin only felt cold all over his body.

Endless ghosts rushed towards Li Shimin, Li Shimin shouted: "Bodhisattva save me!"

Avalokitesvara was not moved, Li Shimin immediately said: "If Bodhisattva saves me, I will build thousands of temples for Bodhisattva after I go back, offering incense every day, and worshiping every month."

Guanshiyin then said: "This is your own sin, even I can't help you, but have you ever heard of cutting the head?"

Li Shimin hurriedly went to cut his own hair. At this time, Guanshiyin said again: "How can mere hair replace blood and blood? Only by feeding them with your own flesh and blood can you relieve their hatred."

I don't know when Li Shimin had a knife in his hand, and Li Shimin cut off a large piece of meat from his thigh. Li Shimin threw the meat to the ghosts, and the ghosts stopped rushing towards Li Shimin after eating the flesh.

"I'll send His Majesty back to Yang," Guanshiyin said, "It's just that the resentment of the ghosts has not subsided. After your Majesty returns, you should look for real Buddhists and Taoists, set up a water and land ashram, and use Buddhist and Taoist scriptures to transcend them."

Li Shimin nodded and wrote it down.

"In addition, Your Majesty does not need to worry too much. Your Majesty is the emperor of the world, and he is protected by a real dragon."

"But remember, your majesty, if one day the real dragon dies, your majesty will have to seek the Dharma from my Buddhist sect, otherwise your majesty will fall into the eighteenth level of hell forever!"

"Life after life, never transcend!"
