Journey to the West: I want to be sanctified

Chapter 328 Manjushri Recalls Yuxu, Cui Juemeng Burns the Lamp
"Brother Qin, the noble sect is powerful, and now that Senior Brother Yuan has become the national teacher of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taixuan will surely be famous in the Three Realms in the future!"

Liao Fan didn't have the heart to argue, he said good things perfunctorily, thinking in his heart:

After returning to the city for a while, find a secluded place and report all the information you know to your master Manjusri Bodhisattva!
The autumn wind was bleak, the three of them chatted and walked, and arrived in Chang'an after a while, and each returned to the residence arranged for them by Qin Wang Li Shimin.

Liao Fan swayed around, pretending to be casual, and when he returned to the room, he immediately placed four Buddhist beads on the four sides of the room, and arranged an isolation formation.

Little did he know that Zhou Yin concealed his figure and completely covered up his breath with Dao Yin technique, and followed him all the time!

I saw Fan looked around, relaxed a little, then pulled out a Bodhisattva statue from his arms, put it on the table, and bowed devoutly for a few times.

Zhou Yin stood beside him, watching.

The Golden Immortal Dzogchen, in front of the Earth Immortal, can do whatever he wants like this.

Zhou Yin has already seen that if his mind is impure, there must be someone instigating behind him, so he personally followed him, and he really gained something.

With a glance in his eyes, he has already remembered the appearance of the Bodhisattva sculpture in his heart.

"Master, something is wrong."

After Liao Fan completed the ceremony respectfully, he opened his mouth and made Manjushri on the other side tremble.

"What happened, tell me slowly."

"Master, this disciple is ordered to go to Taixuanzong this time, this Taixuanzong is too scary, I almost can't come back!"

Manjusri Bodhisattva's tone was not kind, and he said: "Could it be that this Taixuanzong dares to make things difficult for you?

The decline of the Taoist sect is numbered, and they dare to provoke you? "

Liao Fan nodded, then thought that Manjushri Bodhisattva might not be able to see it, and continued to speak:

"Master, the head of the Taixuan Sect actually said that 'Buddha is originally Tao'. Isn't this riding on the head of our Buddhist sect, implying that the Taoist sect is higher than the Buddhist sect!"

After hearing this, Manjushri was silent for a while.

He thought to himself that there were only two saints in Buddhism back then, and there were no disciples. Later, it took a lot of disciples to teach and explain the teachings, so that Buddhism began to grow.In this way, the Buddha is the Tao, but it's nothing, after all, the names of the two saints also have the word "Taoist".

However, of course, I can't show it in front of my disciples, and Manjushri reprimanded him:
"It's really a mouth-making crime. The head of the Taixuanzong insulted my Buddhism, and there will be a catastrophe in the future."

Liao Fan nodded again and again, and continued: "Master, you told me that the Dao Sect is weak and there are no masters anymore, but we were all deceived by the Dao Sect!"

"We were deceived?" Manjusri Bodhisattva was startled, and quickly asked, "Speak carefully, how did we get deceived?"

Liao Fan cleared his throat, and said in a low voice, "Master, there are twelve elders of the Taixuan Sect, each of whom has the cultivation level of the Great Perfection of the Celestial Immortals. They are privately called the 'Twelve Elders of the Taixuan Sect'!"

"Twelve Immortals of Taixuan?"

Upon hearing this title, Manjusri Bodhisattva's heart shook violently, and the memories of the past rushed to his face like a tsunami.

It's so familiar, it has an inner taste.

At that time, the twelve golden immortals under Yuanshi Tianzun's seat were called the "Twelve Golden Immortals of Yuxu", and they were the core force of explaining teachings. How powerful is their momentum?
The twelve golden immortals are like branches, watching each other, and no one in the world dares to provoke them.

Even if the Jade Emperor at that time met 12 of his own people, he still needed three points of courtesy.

How happy those days were.

It's a pity that later on, there were not enough spiritual energy in the world, too many immortals, and insufficient resources. The saints created a list of gods, using the Zhou Dynasty Shang as an introduction, to eliminate a group of immortals, so that the spiritual energy in the world could be rebalanced.

The Twelve Golden Immortals of Yuxu, in the battle with Jiejiao, was knocked out of one level by Fairy Sanxiao with the Hunyuan Treasure, and became the Twelve Heavenly Immortals of Yuxu, who could no longer recover through cultivation.

Later, the Daoist sage was banned by Master Tiandao, and he, Cihang and others were discouraged and disappointed in the Taoist sect, so they followed the Lantern Taoist and defected to the Second Saint of the West.

Because of my realm problem, I can only become a bodhisattva until now.

Now, the Journey to the West is about to start, and if he can gain enough merit, he will definitely be able to return to the realm of the golden fairy again, so according to the order of the lamp, he sent his disciple Fan Luohan in advance to enter the mortal world to help Li Shimin.

In the past few years, everything has been going well, and the merits have been earned steadily, but the Taixuanzong Qin Cong suddenly appeared.

Now there are "Twelve Taixuan Immortals", all of them are Heavenly Immortals Dzogchen, and they are only one step away from becoming golden immortals. Wouldn't they soon become "Twelve Taixuan Golden Immortals"?
Sure enough, something went wrong!This Taixuanzong, there must be an old man explaining and teaching behind the scenes!

"Liao Fan, what is the name of the head of Taixuanzong? What is the name of Twelve Heavenly Immortals?"

Seeing the Bodhisattva statue not speaking for a long time, Liao Fan thought that Manjushri Bodhisattva had disconnected and stood up, ready to put away the sculpture.

Hearing the voice of Manjusri Bodhisattva again, he knelt down again and said:

"Master, the head of Taixuanzong is named Zhou Yin, and the twelve immortals are..."

"Strange, strange!
I have heard of Zhou Yin's name before, by the way, it seems that this person destroyed the layout of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in Chang'an City, and a clone of Dingguang Huanxi Buddha was also damaged because of him.

This news is very important, I will report it to the World Honored One!Liaofan, you have done a good job, you are worthy of being my disciple of Manjusri Bodhisattva! "

After Liao Fan heard it, he smiled and thanked him quickly.

Zhou Yin, who was hiding at the side, also showed a smile, Liao Fan, you did a good job, and even got your master's name out!

Manjushri and Liaofan were completely unaware, only hearing the voice of Manjushri Bodhisattva continue:

"The title of [Twelve Immortals of Taixuan] is not a coincidence. Liaofan, if you have a chance in the future, you can find out whether Taixuanzong has [Yun Zhongzi], [Taiyi Daoist], or if there is any name in his name. If the disciples of [Yun] and [B] find something, report it immediately!"

Liao Fan felt a pain in his heart, and even wanted to go to Taixuanzong to investigate, didn't this kill him.

But the master said, if there is a chance, go to investigate again.

I have never had a chance, so Master can understand, right?

Certainly understandable.

Zhou Yin stood aside, but he couldn't laugh or cry.

Can you guess this too?
Yun Zhongzi did found Taixuanzong, but the "Twelve Immortals of Taixuan" has nothing to do with Yun Zhongzi at all, it was just called by his disciples privately, and he didn't pay much attention to it at the beginning.

Unexpectedly, Manjushri Bodhisattva actually guessed the existence of Yun neutron now that he was hitting the wrong way.

This is such a coincidence.

Fortunately, Yun Zhongzi had already left Taixuanzong, and if he became Fan, he would definitely not be able to enter Taixuanzong in the future!
"Yes! Master, now that the Tang Dynasty is newly established, Taoism is revered as the state religion, and Yuan Shoucheng, a disciple of Taixuanzong, is revered as the state teacher. Will this affect our plan?"

"It is obviously unrealistic for Buddhism to become the state religion, but Taoism is beyond our expectations.

But it doesn't matter, the new dynasty has just been established, and there are still rebels everywhere, you can still join the army and build more merit.

Moreover, I guess the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will reward you, if so, you can ask him to give you the "Daxingshan Temple" and rebuild the Daxingshan Temple! "

"Master, Daxingshan Temple was burned down in a big fire, and it is said that it has a bad reputation in the hearts of the people in Chang'an City..."

"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, love is hate, and hate is love. How much the people hated Daxingshan Temple at the beginning, will love Daxingshan Temple more in the future."

Liao Fan was confused when he heard it, but he knew that Manjushri Bodhisattva was talking about the profound Dharma, and he couldn't understand it yet, so he nodded immediately and clasped his hands together: "Amitabha."

Manjusri smiled slightly after hearing this, Liaofan naturally did not understand, because the reconstruction of Daxingshan Temple is of great significance, and this move intends to form an alliance with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!
As for why he formed an alliance with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, this is the will of the Dizang Buddha, and I actually don't understand it very well...

The master and apprentice talked for a while, and suddenly a voice came from the door, "Is Pavilion Master Liao Fan there?"

Manjusri Bodhisattva immediately broke contact, and Liaofan quickly put away the Bodhisattva statue and asked, "Who?"

A voice outside the door said: "Your Majesty has sent a decree, the Pavilion Master of the Xuanqi Gate has invited Master Fan to enter the palace to listen.

Master, His Majesty wants to reward you, which is a great joy. "

"Okay, okay, wait a minute, I'll be right there."

After tidying up his clothes a little, putting away the four prayer beads, Liao Fan showed his iconic smiling face, hid his eyes again, opened the door, and followed the herald to the court.

Zhou Yin also left here, followed behind Fan, and went to the court.

Walking on the road, Zhou Yin kept thinking about why Manjusri Bodhisattva wanted to rebuild the Daxingshan Temple. Is it purely for the sake of restoring the reputation of Buddhism, or does it have other meanings?
……

Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, wearing a dragon cannon, sat on a dragon chair, with a pair of slender eyes, watching the crowd kneel down in the court, his heart suddenly filled with pride.

"Everyone who loves you, the world is settled now, and it all depends on your concerted efforts. The people of this world should thank you for your efforts!"

"Thanks to His Majesty's wise vision!"

The monarchs and ministers greeted each other, and after singing their praises, finally came the dry goods:
"Yuan Shoucheng was appointed as the national teacher, Taoism was the national religion, and the national teacher governed the Taoism of the world, reaching heaven and earth, and the prime minister is yin and yang!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yuan Shoucheng received Zhou Yin's instruction, so he was not afraid of other people's gossip, so he accepted it calmly.

"Edict Fan as the abbot of Daxingshan Temple. In the future, Daxingshan Temple will be a royal temple. There will never be taxes in the temple!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Originally, Li Yuan wanted to canonize Fan as a holy monk of the Tang Dynasty and build a temple specially for Fan.

However, Liaofan resolutely refused and only wanted to rebuild Daxingshan Temple.Li Yuanzhi bestowed Daxingshan Temple to Fan, and planned to write an inscription on Daxingshan Temple himself, making Daxingshan Temple a royal temple.

"I ordered Qin Cong to be the master of the Taixuan Temple, and the Taixuan Temple was the royal Taoist temple. In the Taoist temple, no tax will be paid!"

Li Yuan's award was beyond Qin Cong's and Liao Fan's expectations.

But the two of them were relieved instantly, the emperor's power is nothing more than that.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhou Yin stood on the side of the court hall, looking at the faces of the people above the court hall, feeling deeply moved. These people were all famous generals and ministers in the Tang Dynasty. If he had not cultivated immortality, he would definitely be very excited when he met these people.

once having seen the best, the rest is not worthwhile looking.

Now that I am a Golden Immortal Dzogchen, with a long lifespan and supernatural powers, seeing these people, I no longer feel the excitement of seeing historical celebrities.

Of course, if I see the six saints, I will still be very excited.

……

After the award was over, Zhou Yin planned to go back to Hai Haiyue Hot Pot Restaurant where he hadn't been for a long time to eat hot pot, so he notified Jiang Yingying, Tao Yaoyao, and Li Zichun via sound transmission.

Qin Cong went to Taixuan Temple. Taixuan Temple originally had a temple master, but Li Yuan deliberately made Qin Cong the master of Taixuan Temple in order to show that the whole world is not the emperor's land.

Liao Fan went to Daxingshan Temple to commemorate, Li Yuan had already sent the minister of the Ministry of Industry to personally supervise the reconstruction, and Li Yuan only went to take a look. After all, in a few days, he would follow Qin Wang Li Shimin to put down the remnants of the rebels.

Under the leadership of the eunuch, Yuan Shoucheng lived in a large mansion next to the imperial palace. This is Yuan Shoucheng's National Teacher's Mansion, which is very close to Si Tianjian.

Si Tianjian observes the stars and predicts the future, and at the same time is under the supervision of the National Teacher. Yuan Shoucheng felt that nothing happened, so he went to the next door to discuss the celestial phenomena with the chief Si Tianjian.

The other officials and generals who were satisfied with the awards all smiled happily and went in groups, or went to their respective houses, or to the place of fireworks, to celebrate.

Only one young man looked unhappy and returned to the inn alone. His surname was Cui and his name was Jue.

He is talented and can clearly judge right from wrong, and he has made great contributions to the orderly governance of the local area in Li Yuan's rear.

Today, Li Yuan's awards have been going on for a long time, and many meritorious ministers have received their due awards.

Some people who have merit but are not good at performing in front of Li Yuan did not get the reward they deserved.

After all, a crying child has milk, and Cui Jue is a person who cannot cry.

He was named magistrate of a small county.

Cui Jue returned to the inn, ordered a few jugs of wine, drank while thinking about the efforts he had put in in the past, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help yelling at Li Yuan for being blind, ignoring his past achievements, and using a small county magistrate Send yourself off.Fortunately, the new dynasty was just established, and there was no talk of literary inquisition, and no one eavesdropped. Cui Jue was able to abuse Li Yuan to his heart's content.

While cursing, drinking at the same time, after a while I was tired of cursing, and fell into a deep sleep.

In his sleep, he seemed to dream of a monk. This monk had an ordinary appearance, and there was a bright lamp in front of him, shining in all directions.

"Emissary Cui, although you are a genius, it's a pity that the Lord is ignorant of people!"

Cui Jue was puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "Who are you, and why did you call me envoy?"

The monk laughed and said, "You have great talent, you reward the good and punish the evil, you judge everything clearly, and everyone obeys you. You are worthy of being an official of the state and county, so I call you Cui Shijun."

Cui Jue was satisfied in his heart, thinking that this monk is also a wonderful person, knowing that he is very good at judging.

I used to manage and rule for Li Yuan, adjudicating cases and judging cases. Everyone praised me and won a lot of popular support for Li Yuan.

It's a pity that Li Yuan didn't realize it. He thought that he had no military exploits in the rear, and he didn't know how to make suggestions. He never helped him fight, so he only made a small county magistrate, which is really infuriating!
