Journey to the West: Heavenly Creation

Chapter 104

In the Ganlu Hall, Emperor Taizong, Sanzang, and Layman Jingxuan talked at night while holding candles.

Taizong said most of the time, and Sanzang and Layman Jingxuan listened.

This emperor is too talkative.

From his policy of governing the country, to the details of the lives of ordinary people, and back to frontier strategies, and his vision for the future...

Eloquent and eloquent, I sorted out no less than [-] words.

Layman Jingxuan dozed off.

In addition, I was anxious to go back to the heaven to report to the teacher that I was safe, so I wanted to end this conversation as soon as possible.

Suddenly, he stood up, startling Taizong and Sanzang.

Layman Jingxuan then sat down again, and said lightly,
"Sitting for a long time, my legs are a little numb, get up and move around, Your Majesty, please continue!"

Oh ~
Taizong thought about it, and found that he was digressing.

He said apologetically, "The holy monk has proposed a bold idea about the matter of learning Buddhist scriptures from the West. I would like to ask Si Zheng for help. Please refer to it for details!"

Say it early!
Why are you talking so much useless.

"What does the holy monk think?"

Layman Jingxuan turned to Sanzang.

"Starting from Chang'an, head to Xitian Daleiyin Temple, but along the way, you have to walk a few more places."

"feasible!"

Just in time to collect the free-range spirit veins along the way, Layman Jingxuan nodded immediately.

"By the way, enter Mount Sumeru!"

After seeing Sanzangtu in poverty, he finally revealed his true purpose.

"Is there any necessary connection between learning scriptures from the west and entering Mount Sumeru?"

It's basically two things.

"There are good and bad in the Tripitaka, and many of them have distorted the original meaning of Patriarch Sakyamuni. What's the point of taking back a scripture that can't save people?"

So you know it too!

Then what's the point of learning scriptures?
Layman Jingxuan has always been unable to figure out what is the true meaning of Journey to the West.

I also asked the little star master before, and the little star master said that it was the arrangement of the heaven, and asked him to ask the heaven.

"This matter is my idea."

Emperor Taizong took up the conversation and said solemnly, "Although the Tripitaka is not satisfactory, Si Zhengke once thought about whether it is the scriptures or the stories of the people who learned the scriptures that are really handed down to the world?"

What do you mean?
Layman Jingxuan turned his head to look at Taizong in an instant, twisting his neck so fast.

"My idea is very simple. Through this incident, I will set an example for future generations. Let everyone see the spirit of my Tang Dynasty. Even if thousands of years pass and the dynasties change, no one will remember me, Li Shimin. But there are always stories about people from the Tang Dynasty circulating in this world."

Emperor Taizong's eyes sparkled. As an emperor, what he saw was definitely not the surface of the matter, but the name behind him for thousands of years.

"Since the important thing is not the scriptures, but the stories of the learners, then how to write this story has to be decided by the people of Tang!"

Tang Wang Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, the eternal emperor who has been recorded in the annals of history, put forward a brand new view on the journey to the West.

"Daleiyin Temple, Buddha, heh, I never thought they were so great. But going up to Mount Sumeru and seeing the world beyond the world is an unprecedented feat. I will devote all my power to help the holy monk get the Get what you want."

Understood!
Little star master brainwashed you too, right?

Otherwise, you will go both ways and hit it off.

"In that case, what can I do?"

Now that the matter has been mentioned, it is already very clear that Emperor Taizong and Sanzang are not focused on learning scriptures.

Learning from scriptures is just an excuse.

One of you wants to break through Mount Sumeru, and the other wants to leave behind your name, so what role can this layman play in this process?
It's not going to happen, let me roll up my arms and sleeves and go to battle in person to help you break through Mount Sumeru, right?

"I have a volume of scriptures here. I want to trouble Sizheng's knife of good fortune to carve them into peerless scriptures and pass them on to all generations!"

Emperor Taizong's eyes shone with a deep light, and he looked deeply at Layman Jingxuan.

……

Layman Jingxuan just felt that his mood at this moment was indescribable.

If he was surprised by Li Yuanji's weirdness and shocked by Taizong's mystery, then at this moment, the intention of this emperor on earth made him even more speechless.

Do you want to create a scripture by yourself and pass it on to future generations?

This brain hole is so open, it is simply heaven!

The Tathagata of the Western Paradise, the gods and Buddhas all over the sky, including Nagarjuna Bodhisattva, a self-righteous middle school sophomore, who would have thought that the story would unfold like this?

This is like, Tathagata set up a stage, ready to show a good show to the people of the four major continents, and let his scriptures shine for generations.

In the end, Emperor Taizong said no, I was the director!
Little star master, do you agree with this?

He turned his gaze to Sanzang.

"People in the world don't know what the scriptures are. Only poor monks can decide who is the real scriptures!"

Sanzang's expression was firm, his eyes were like a clear pool, but it was unfathomable.

"Dry!"

Layman Jingxuan let out a loud roar.

This is the Westward Journey I want to see!

Taizong published the scriptures, I, Wang Jingxuan, published the printed edition, and Xiao Xingzhu was the human flesh delivery——

Let's see who owns the world in the future.

"Si Zheng no longer thinks about it?"

Emperor Taizong smiled, as if he was testing Layman Jingxuan.

"Joining forces with you two super players, I, Lingzao Division, will not lose!"

Layman Jingxuan's heart was full of enthusiasm, and suddenly he had a strong sense of mission.

Unexpectedly, I, Wang Jingxuan, can also leave such a strong mark in history, "Bring the scriptures!"

"it is good!"

Emperor Taizong smiled and recited a scripture.

The length is not very long, probably tens of thousands of words?

Layman Jingxuan always has a feeling of deja vu.It seems that when Taizong talked about family affairs and ambitions before, he also talked about these things.

From the details of life, to the laws of the development and change of things, to the elaboration of the world view and cosmology, every sentence makes people feel shocked and brightened.

After listening to this sentence, and listening to the next sentence, you will have a completely different understanding.

It's just a pity that when the next sentence is heard, the previous sentence has already disappeared and been forgotten.

After Taizong finished narrating the scriptures, Layman Jingxuan suddenly realized that there were only two words left in his mind:
good!Awesome!
But I didn't remember a single word.

The expression is in a trance, the thoughts are ignorant, and the whole person is drowsy.

The head is as heavy as lead.

The figures of Emperor Taizong and Sanzang gradually became blurred in front of his eyes, as distant as a dream.

Uh!
Layman Jingxuan's head sank, he shivered, and instantly woke up.

What you can see in front of your eyes is only indistinct clouds and smoke curling up.

Facing him, Dongji Qinghua Changsheng Great Emperor sat upright as before, with his eyes half-opened and half-closed, as if he was in a deep sleep, or in meditation.

"Si just dozed off,"

Emperor Dongji raised his eyes and asked softly, "But what kind of dream did you have?"

good dream?

I dreamed... dreamed...

Layman Jingxuan looked around and found that he was still sitting in the Liuguang Xiaozhu.

The mist outside was hazy, and the screams of the ghosts in the distance were faint, but it seemed to be separated by a world.

"Go, your master is still waiting for you!"

Emperor Dongji pointed with his finger, and another small path appeared under the feet of Layman Jingxuan.

At the foot of the mountain at the end of the path, Tai Er shook her flowing long hair and was waving vigorously at him.

"Well, this junior won't encounter any ghosts, such as Li Yuanji, right?"

Layman Jingxuan refused to move, afraid that the nightmare would come true, and another big ghost would jump out and sweep him away.

"Li Yuanji? Hey!"

Emperor Dongji had a playful look on his face, and asked indifferently, "Such absurd things will happen with this emperor. If you tell me, is there anyone who will believe it?"

"Senior mighty!"

Layman Jingxuan walked down the mountain road cautiously, holding the magic weapon of the Five Elements Escape Technique in his hand.

He didn't heave a sigh of relief until he was beside Huang Long and Tai Er.

"What is the emperor doing? It's ridiculous!"

On the way back to the Department of Spiritual Creation, Master Huanglong was still complaining, "Bringing you here, he was the one who had agreed with the master, but he didn't teach anything after that, and just watched you fall asleep?"

"Yeah, I slept soundly!"

Layman Jingxuan blinked at his mentor.

Huang Long is a kind person, he shouldn't be involved in all these disturbances.

But where did the scriptures given to him by Emperor Taizong go, and when did he start burning scriptures?

Or, was it really, just a dream?

When they returned to Lingzaosi, the journey to the west on the ground had officially begun.

First, Emperor Taizong prepared a land and water conference to save the innocent souls.

Taking advantage of the situation, he also pushed Sanzang to the front of the stage, ordered him to be a holy monk, and worshiped him as his younger brother. He was favored by thousands of people, and he was reminded carefully that he must go to the West Paradise, obtain the scriptures and return.

On this day, Emperor Taizong led a group of officials to drive outside the customs to see off his younger brother Tang Sanzang.

Layman Jingxuan was in the Lingzao Division, listening to the simultaneous "interpretation" of Yingwu Gong.

"Ahhh, as expected, everything is going according to what you said," the master said.

Yingwu Luo flattered loudly, then his tone changed, and he said mysteriously,
"And Nagarjuna Bodhisattva also appeared."
