Reborn Jinshan Temple

Chapter 64
After Huanyang, Li Yi stayed in the palace.

Taizong was naturally overjoyed, but for Yan Shenggong and Longhushan Headmaster, this was not a good sign.

Sure enough, in the early morning of the next day, Li Shimin proposed to hold a water and land meeting in the court hall.

A group of Confucian scholars and civil servants were deadly admonitions, and the gray-haired Yan Shenggong was even more outspoken, angrily accusing the Holy One of conniving outsiders to confuse people's hearts!
Even though the head teacher of Longhushan was an outsider himself, he also echoed his words at this time, firmly grasping the fact that the Buddhism was passed down from a foreign country, and admonishing him endlessly.

It's a pity that Li Shimin's mind has been made up, and he tried his best to overcome all opinions, and let people spread the decree to the world, choose a good day and auspicious day, and gather monks from all over the world to hold a water and land meeting in Chang'an City for 49 days on July [-], to save the souls of the world's underworld!
Although Yan Shenggong is the leader of Confucianism, he can't really influence Li Shimin's decision, so he can only make a fuss about the selection of the host of this conference.

Li Shimin's favorite candidate is naturally Li Yi, the land god. Unfortunately, this Yan Shenggong can't help but give him face. Rely on his own style to impress these Confucian scholars.

Unexpectedly, Li Yi did not have this ambition, and even admired Yan Shenggong's idea of ​​fairly selecting a great virtuous monk from among the monks in the world.

This greatly changed Yan Shenggong's impression of him. Although Li Shimin felt a little regretful, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

For the next few days, Li Yi continued to stay in the palace under the guise of guarding the palace to refine the six-character Guangming Mantra Buddhist invitation card, and Xuanzang, as he expected, stood out from the group of monks and became the master of water and land. The host of the meeting.

Although this Master Xuanzang's reputation was not as famous as Xuan Yi's, but because of the relationship between Chen Guangrui and Yin Kaishan, in terms of identity, he was more easily accepted by the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty.

What happened next was similar to what Li Yi remembered. Avalokitesvara appeared at the water and land meeting with Mu Zha, gave cassocks and tin sticks, and said that Mahayana Buddhism is good.

Li Shimin did this water and land meeting originally to eliminate his sins, so that he would not fall into the [-] hells after death. At this time, he suddenly heard that Lao Shizi's Mahayana Buddhism can save death from suffering and keep his body from dying. Immediately It just shines.

And Xuanzang did not disappoint him, and asked for advice on the so-called Mahayana Buddhism with a sincere face.

Avalokitesvara's superficial pointers whetted Xuanzang's appetite, and then he appeared in real body and floated away. For a while, the influence of this water and land conference was also pushed to the extreme.

At this point, the matter of traveling to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures is a foregone conclusion, and the only thing that needs to be discussed in the court is who will protect Xuanzang.After all, going west to thousands of rivers and mountains is not so easy to reach.

At this time, Li Yi, who had just refined the Buddhist post, was very satisfied, so he took the initiative to invite Ying.

Naturally, everyone had no objection, even the headmaster of Longhu Mountain and Duke Yan Sheng wished that he would leave immediately.As for the two entourages that Li Shimin sent to Xuanzang mentioned in the original book, with Li Yi, the land god Zhuyu, in front, naturally they would not exist.

In this way, Li Yi and Xuanzang finally embarked on a journey to the West on a certain day in September of the 13th year of Zhenguan.

Before leaving, Li Yi did some simple homework, knowing that there are two routes to the west, one is to bypass Gongzhou and take Hezhou Wei, and the other is to drive directly to Tubo and cross the Snow Mountain.

If he had followed his previous plan, he would definitely have taken the shortcut of Tubo, but after refining that Buddhist post and thoroughly mastering the six-character mantra, he no longer had such thoughts.

Although the Tantric mantra is mysterious, the six-character Guangming Mantra is not bad. Compared with Elder Faming, he does not believe that those monks in Tianlong Temple can master the mysteries of the Tantric mantra. I have thoroughly understood the six-character mantra of Mahayana Buddhism.

What's more, the route of Hezhouwei is closely related to the several catastrophes that Xuanzang will experience in Liangjie Mountain in the original book. He is not sure whether things will develop like that if he chooses other routes.

Xuanzang had no objection to taking that path.Although he has grown a lot in these years, he already has the unique aura of a great virtuous monk, but when facing Li Yi, he is still the little junior who is good at what he does.

In this way, the two brothers went west all the way, first rested at Famen Temple for one night, and then rested at Gongzhou City for one night, and after a few days, they had already arrived at Hezhouwei.

This is the border of the mountains and rivers of Datang, with a vast land and few people. In the next few days, there was no human habitation on the road.

Li Yi looked at the mountains that appeared and disappeared in the distance, and couldn't help murmuring: "There should be Liangjie Mountain ahead, and it will take about three or five days to walk there. When we get there, it won't be as peaceful as it is now." ..."

Xuanzang was noncommittal. No major incidents happened on the way out of Chang'an City. They were even warmly received by local officials when they passed through Gongzhou City. He naturally didn't have much idea about the danger of the next journey. Moreover, even if he knew there was any danger, in his heart, he would feel at ease with Senior Brother Xuan Yi around... As he thought about it, he had already familiarized himself with setting up the tent, "Senior Brother, let's just make do with it tonight!"

Only then did Li Yi close his eyes, looking at Xuanzang, who was sweating profusely, and smiled wryly.Although he played the role of Xuanzang's guard along the way, this little junior brother only regards him as a senior brother, busy with his work, but takes care of his daily life extremely thoughtfully.

Xuanzang, on the other hand, was always happy with this, for this Senior Brother Xuanyi, he admired and was grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Li Yi said it a few times, but he couldn't be stubborn, so he could only follow him.Along the way, he immersed his mind in cultivation, and worked hard to improve his own strength, so as to better protect this junior.

Suddenly, a feeling of hair standing on end came from behind.

Li Yi's heart tightened, and he turned to look, and saw an old man in red robe walking slowly: "Little guy with such a keen spiritual sense, it's a pity that I met an old man!" An old and majestic voice rolled over.

"Who is it!" Only then did Li Yi see clearly the other party's attire, which was vaguely similar to the previous Tubo monks.

boom!As if in response to his questioning, a golden handprint several feet in size moved mountains and seas, broke through the clouds, and pressed heavily on Li Yi and the other two.

"Let's go!" Li Yi was so knowledgeable that he didn't even think about it, grabbed Xuanzang and flew down the mountain like lightning.

It's just that it has swept more than ten feet away, and this shocking big handprint has been pressed down heavily.

"boom!"

The whole mountain shook violently. Li Yi looked back, and in the sky full of smoke and dust, the high-end BMW that Li Shimin gave to Xuanzang had completely collapsed into a cloud of blood mist.

Hiss!
"A master above Yuanying..." Li Yi gasped. The monk's big handprint seemed to carry the power of heaven and earth, and it was not something human could resist.
