Datang unsigned for six years, only to know that it is Journey to the West

Chapter 273 When Xu Maogong meets the Jade Emperor, Su Chen Taoist Temple releases the sign【Please subscribe and ask for a monthly ticket】

Emperor Li Shimin has already stepped back.

Directly give Xuanzang the title of king, the Buddha king of the Tang Dynasty.

But he didn't want to offend Su Chen, so he still wanted Su Chen to crown Xuanzang and establish Su Chen's status as a national teacher.

Maitreya Buddha's eyes sank, but he didn't want Su Chen to cast a shadow over the catastrophe of Journey to the West.

But he hasn't spoken yet.

Xuanzang knelt down, "Thank you, poor monk, Your Majesty."

Xuanzang knelt down to accept the order.

He accepted the order and lowered his head, while the monks all had complex expressions.

People in the Buddhist sect of the Tang Dynasty all hope that Xuanzang can be crowned king, which will give the monks of the Tang Dynasty a firm backing.

But they didn't want Xuanzang to kneel down to Su Chen, and they didn't want Su Chen to crown Xuanzang either.

It's just the lesser of two harms.

They felt that compared with becoming king, letting Su Chen be crowned was a compromise that had to be made, and it was not unacceptable.

Ordinary Buddhists can naturally accept it, even Xuanzang's master thinks it is acceptable.

but.

But Maitreya Buddha couldn't accept it, because he felt that this made Buddhism lose face.

However, Xuanzang has already knelt down, and if he stops him, I am afraid that Li Shimin will make Buddhism disappear from the Tang Dynasty from now on.

As a Buddha, he is also unstoppable.

Su Chen picked up the monk's hat and put it on for Xuanzang.

With a smile on his face, he said, "Xuanzang, from now on you will be a holy monk of the Tang Dynasty. You must shoulder your own responsibilities and be truly compassionate."

Xuanzang said yes.

In fact, he also knew that Buddha Maitreya was probably competing with Su Chen, but he didn't want to cause disputes between Buddhism and Taoism.

He also didn't know who was the best between Su Chen and Maitreya Buddha, but he just didn't want a conflict to break out.

Su Chen taught him Taoism again, so there is nothing unacceptable for Su Chen to kneel down and accept the coronation.

Xuanzang thought so in his heart, but Maitreya Buddha was already bleeding from his heart.

It's fine for Su Chen to crown Xuanzang, but he still dares to say such brash words, the kind of words that can only be said by Buddhist elders, it always feels ironic when it comes out of Su Chen's mouth.

However, Maitreya Buddha was still helpless.

Seeing the coronation, Li Shimin hurriedly eased the tense atmosphere, saying: "Buddhist King Xuanzang, you must remember the instructions of the national teacher. From now on, Buddhism and Taoism in the Tang Dynasty must flourish."

Everyone cheered.

"Amitabha!"

Maitreya Buddha shouted the Buddha's name, suppressing everyone's cheers immediately, he soared into the air, ignored Li Shimin and Su Chen, but stared straight at Xuanzang.

"Xuanzang, since you are already a holy monk of the Tang Dynasty, you have to shoulder your own responsibilities. What you are reciting today is nothing more than the Hinayana Dharma. There is Mahayana Dharma in the Daleiyin Temple in the Western Paradise, which can overcome all hardships in the world. , do you dare to go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures?!"

He clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, if you can get it, your Dharma will be ten thousand times stronger than it is now, and you will also be named a Buddha at that time, and it will be easy to save all people."

Maitreya Buddha deliberately emphasized this point in order to weaken the influence of Su Chen and Li Shimin crowning him.

Anyway, he was crowned as the Buddha King by virtue of the Hinayana Dharma. If he obtains the Mahayana Dharma in the future, he will be able to become a Buddha.

With higher achievements, the Buddha King at this time is not worth mentioning.

Everyone in the Buddhist sect was extremely excited, even Master Tianshu was full of jealousy.

They are all outstanding, but they don't have such a good opportunity.

Although they can learn Buddhist scriptures from the west, Xuanzang was invited by the Buddhist sect, and he will be able to become a Buddha in the future.

Many Buddhists in Chang'an knelt down and begged Xuanzang to go west.

"My Buddhist monks, I implore the Buddha King Xuanzang to learn scriptures from the west and save all sentient beings."

There were also unsuspecting ordinary people who knelt down and begged Xuanzang to go west.

"Praying to the Buddha King to learn the scriptures from the west, saving me is like a sea of ​​suffering."

"Ask the Buddha King to go to the west to learn from the scriptures."

Xuanzang quickly knelt on the ground and said: "Amitabha, disciple Xuanzang has great ambitions, and here he makes a great wish. In this life, he will not be able to attain the Mahayana Dharma, and he will never enter the country."

Maitreya Buddha saw Xuanzang's great wish, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "The journey is difficult and dangerous, along the way there are many insects, fish, birds, beasts, monsters, ghosts and ghosts, do you have the courage?!"

Xuanzang said: "until death."

Maitreya Buddha said: "If you have this heart, my Buddha will not abandon you. This brocade cassock, nine-ring tin staff, purple gold bowl and thousand-fold Buddha hat can protect you all the way westward, so I will give it to you. !"

In the air, he threw down the cassock and other treasures, which fluttered in the wind, and the wind dressed Xuanzang neatly.

All of a sudden, Xuanzang's whole body seemed to be full of Buddha's light, and he was really a full-fledged eminent monk.

Li Shimin couldn't help being amazed, but Su Chen's expression remained the same.

Maitreya Buddha was forced by him, so he couldn't play tricks, and needed to reward things directly. This trip to the west was already a bad start.

After all, according to the original trajectory, Maitreya Buddha wants to test whether Xuanzang has the determination to go west and whether he is sincere enough for Buddhism.

These treasures were to be sold to him, if Xuanzang was willing to do so, he would go bankrupt and buy them.

But now, send it directly.

This meaning is different.

This move alone is enough to add a lot of work to the Buddhist sect, allowing them to find ways to test Xuanzang.

Su Chen didn't need to think too much, just looking at Maitreya Buddha's eyes, he knew how angry he was at this moment.

but.

There was still a spring breeze on his face, "Very well, Xuanzang, I am looking forward to your visit to the Great Leiyin Temple in the Western Heaven."

Then go back with the wind.

Li Shimin brought all the civil and military officials and many people off, except for Li Shimin, his wife and Su Chen, everyone else bowed to the ground.

So far, this Buddhist meeting has come to a 'successful conclusion'.

Next came various arrangements. Li Shimin prepared the banquet, and he was going to entertain civil and military officials, dignitaries from aristocratic families, and Buddhist masters.

In particular, Xuanzang and Su Chen were invited to a banquet, but Su Chen left with an excuse. He would not attend such a party.

It's just that he didn't participate this time, and Su Chen didn't leave Daming Palace immediately, but went to the Royal Taoist Temple.

Within the Royal Taoist Temple.

Yuan Shoucheng is meditating.

Su Chen's arrival had obviously alarmed him, and he quickly got up to greet him.

"I've seen the immortal master." Yuan Shoucheng hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Su Chen said: "You don't need to be too polite, I'm here this time, I want to see how your practice is going."

Yuan Shoucheng hurriedly said: "Thank you for your guidance, Master Immortal. This disciple is only half a step away from seeing through the secrets of heaven and becoming a fairy."

Su Chen said: "Very well, let's keep going."

Yuan Shoucheng was trembling, and when he saw Su Chen just strolling around the Taoist temple, he stopped talking.

He was uneasy in his heart, and finally couldn't help it anymore, knelt down and said: "Master Immortal, this disciple is at fault."

Su Chen said: "What's wrong with you?"

Yuan Shoucheng said: "The disciple got the dream of Buddhism, and even violated the precepts. He deduced for the fishermen, told fortunes for the villagers, and harmed the Dragon King of the Weihe River."

Su Chen fell silent.

"Since you mentioned this matter, I won't go around the bush anymore."

Su Chen said: "I told you before that you should stop using Zhou Tian arithmetic and just use your magical strikes to become immortals. But you are deducing fortune-telling for others, and even the Weihe River is rich in fish. , causing the emperor to order people to go into the water to catch fish, but they caught the red carp dragon."

"Since then, Your Majesty has been troubled by the red carp dragon. That's all. It also involved the Weihe Dragon King's revenge for the red carp dragon, which accidentally destroyed Guanyin's body and killed the entire Dragon Palace."

Yuan Shoucheng hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed his head like pounding garlic, and said, "I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong, I beg Immortal Master to punish me."

Su Chen said: "Why did you make a decision that violated my orders?!"

Yuan Shoucheng said: "My disciple attained enlightenment to Avalokitesvara and dreamed of it. He said that by doing so, he could accumulate blessings for the Tang Dynasty, and he could also accumulate incense and merits for his disciples, and finally he would become an immortal. The disciple was confused for a while, and the catastrophe was caused."

Su Chen sighed. Although Yuan Shoucheng caused all this, he cannot change it.

Being introduced by Guanyin, Yuan Shoucheng couldn't change the ending at all.

Su Chen said: "Then have you become a fairy?"

Yuan Shoucheng said: "The disciple was deceived. After this incident, not only did he fail to become an immortal, but he was also visited by the Red Carp Dragon and the Weihe Dragon Palace Turtle Prime Minister one after another. He was tortured mentally and almost collapsed."

He knelt in front of Su Chen and begged, "Please save the disciple, Master Immortal."

Su Chen was silent for a moment, and said: "You continue to practice, this is the arrangement of Buddhism, which cannot be changed by manpower. I just hope that you will be able to serve the Taoist sect conscientiously in the future."

Yuan Shoucheng is very grateful.

Su Chen was sure that the matter was not over, and he was about to leave. When he left the Taoist temple, he met an old man.

The old man was waiting at the door, as if he had been waiting for Su Chen.

"My lord, what's the matter?"

Su Chen had seen this old man before, among the ministers of civil and military affairs, he ranked very high, probably someone with power.

as predicted.

The old man cupped his hands and saluted, "Old man Li Ji, pay homage to the king of heaven."

Su Chen was taken aback, then nodded.

Li Ji, whose real name is Xu Shiji, changed his name to Xu Maogong because he avoided Li Shimin. Later, he was given the surname of the country by the emperor, and he became Li Ji.

In the Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Xu Maogong, who can pinch and count, is Li Ji.

He has made great contributions, and he is also a hero of Lingyan Pavilion, and he went to Mobei to attack Goguryeo. He was the main general along the way and made great military exploits.

When he came back this time, he heard that his contribution was so great that his grandson was named Duke of the county.

Su Chen said: "Your Excellency, what are you doing waiting for the poor?"

Li Ji said hastily: "This old man doesn't dare to take the name of an adult, blocking the door this time is really a forced and helpless act."

Su Chen said: "Explain in detail?"

Li Ji quickly followed.

It was under the service of Yuan Shoucheng and Li Lizhi that Su Chen received Li Ji in the quiet room.

As soon as he entered the quiet room, Li Ji knelt down directly.

Seeing this, Su Chen knew that Li Ji must have something to ask for.

as predicted.

The British Duke Li Ji kowtowed and said: "Heavenly King, I am indecisive, please allow me to ask for a lottery."

Su Chen said, "What's the matter with you?"

Li Ji hurriedly said: "This old man is an ordinary student of Longhu Mountain. He has learned some Zhou Tianyi techniques and knows some calculation methods. He has practiced so far and has the power of a real person. A few days ago, in his dream, he suddenly fell into the Heaven, entered the Heavenly Court, and met the Jade Emperor!"

Su Chen was surprised that Xu Maogong was able to see the Jade Emperor? !

I heard Li Ji continue to say: "The old man was in a state of fear and trepidation, and he heard the Jade Emperor say that the Dragon King of Weihe had violated the rules of heaven, and now he has been arrested and locked on the chopping platform. "

"If you can succeed, you can become a fairy in the next life."

Su Chen frowned, Weihe Dragon King was still arrested?

He pursed his lips and said, "In that case, why do you want to ask?!"

　Ask for a recommendation ticket and ask for a monthly ticket. It's almost the end of the month, and it will expire if you don't vote.

　　The next plot will be more exciting, so stay tuned.
