Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Chapter 428 Are treasures like this common in the practice world?

The generals of the Tang Dynasty are "abundant in martial arts", especially these veterans who have fought on the battlefield all their lives, they have always dismissed the Buddhist practice
Worshiping Buddha every day, can this country be brought down?
Can you pray to the Buddha and Bodhisattva before going out to protect yourself from death?

It's all bullshit.

When fighting for the world within the Central Plains, it will not be mentioned.

During the expedition to Turks, how did the generals boost the morale of the soldiers below?

Just four words - Guangzong Yaozu.

Those who return victorious are the heroes of the Tang Dynasty; even if they die in battle, their names will be recorded in the county annals.

If someone can make meritorious service, his name may be mentioned on the front page, and it will be the first incense in the village to worship ancestors in the future.

Of course, these are all spiritual encouragements, and the most important thing is the money spent.

General Datang didn't have a heart of resistance to the entire Buddhist sect. He naturally respected a real eminent monk like Master Sanzang.Don't say anything else, just say that Master Sanzang's firm determination to go to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures on foot for hundreds of thousands of miles is not enough for them to admire.

This matter sounds difficult, but it is even more difficult to do it.

Those monsters blocking the way, even if they are generals who have fought for a lifetime, if they meet alone, they may not be able to match them.

As for Master Sanzang's deeds of subduing demons and eliminating demons, punishing evil and promoting good deeds, they all knew from His Majesty.

His Majesty is very concerned about this younger brother, so he often shares the news from Xizhou with his subordinates.

The younger generals thought it was a chance encounter, and Master Sanzang was like a living map. After he came back, Datang had a topographic map almost as far as the east-west line of Xizhou. If he wanted to make great achievements, he would definitely be here in the future.

But for the older ones, it can be inferred from His Majesty's attitude towards Baoxiang, Wuji and other countries that after His Majesty pacified Goguryeo and took over Tubo and Uzang, this pioneering spirit has dropped sharply.

Especially now that he is wholeheartedly cultivating the prince, it can be seen that His Majesty can't afford to conquer the outside world easily.

Therefore, Wang Xuance was reused, and Xue Rengui, who was originally the leader of the army, was transferred back, and he was asked to refine the black armor and iron cavalry, and then sent the Shence army into the rivers and lakes, and began to explore the whereabouts of the monsters in the Tang Dynasty.

When Lu Guogong heard the news for the first time, he said that he could still fight. He stalked and wanted to ask His Majesty for an errand to subjugate demons.

But Li Shimin disagreed, and only said: "Lu Guogong is old, he should enjoy family happiness at home, why bother to fight again?"

Afterwards, he sent two Buddhist scriptures to let him read more, so as to dispel the murderous aura accumulated over the years.

Of course, Lao Cheng didn't read it, but his wife knew about it, and said, "Since it is His Majesty's oral order, you have to read it if you don't, otherwise it will be disrespectful."

Old Cheng said at the time: "Have I seen it, Your Majesty doesn't know?"

"I know." The Duke's wife paused, and then said: "It's not like you don't know that since the 16th year of Zhenguan, the queen's mother has been seriously ill. Fortunately, Sun's magic doctor has rejuvenated her body, so she can keep the phoenix body. From now on, the queen will be more sympathetic to me. Waiting for these edicts, you often call me to wait for the imperial physician to come to the palace for pulse diagnosis. If you ask for it by chance, I will not cover it up for you."

It is precisely because of this festival that most of Lu Guogong's murderous aura is transferred to these two Buddhist scriptures.

And from another point of view, maybe it can be regarded as an alternative solution?

It's better to have a vent than to hold it in your heart.

But this beam is finally settled.

Saying these words now, firstly, he has always shown this kind of image of a "muddy person"; secondly, he really listened to the words of the great sage, and blurted out under the excitement.

In fact, I regretted it a little after I finished speaking. After all, it is not very polite to say such words to slander the Buddha in front of His Majesty and colleagues in front of Master Sanzang.

Just when he was about to say something to remedy it, he heard the great sage immediately shouting "Hello," "The old man's words are justified!"

Ugh?
Lu Guogong was taken aback for a moment, and then he heard the Great Sage continue to say: "My old grandson thought the same way at the time."

"How dare you slander the Buddha like that, you monkey?" Fa Hai on the side seemed to scold him sternly, but in fact he said some innocuous words, and even passed the words to the great sage.

The Great Sage followed the master's words and explained: "Master, what kind of person is the Buddha? How could he have the same knowledge as my grandson? If he is really like what my grandson and the old Duke said, it's just because of his image, he pretends to be noble. That means the disciple is right about him; but if it is true that the disciple has a small belly and a small heart, he treats the belly of a gentleman with a small heart. Since the disciple has not practiced enough to understand the realm of the Buddha, he should practice seriously in the future. If he wants to be as compassionate as the Buddha , don't care about us ordinary people."

Everyone present could understand the meaning behind the words of the great sage.

For a moment, I felt that this Lingshan Buddhist realm seemed to be no different from this secular world.

The words of the run-on people are quite similar to the way they persuade the emperor to be a wise king, to be magnanimous, and not to be very similar to the general knowledge of his courtiers who offended His Majesty because of their recklessness.

Li Shimin felt a little happy when he heard it, and he also echoed: "The reason why the Buddha is a Buddha must have a realm that ordinary people can't reach. But even so, after returning home, Brother Wang, you should pay respects in front of the Buddha. "

Everyone was still wondering who Li Shimin was calling Brother Wang.

"Hi!"

But seeing Lu Guogong yelled strangely over there, and then stepped out of the crowd, he quickly pulled his official uniform, and shouted: "Your Majesty, Lao Cheng will go home and farm."

It was only then that everyone realized that Brother Wang was calling Duke Lu.

For this "Brother Wang", those who don't know what is going on are naturally dumbfounded, but it is not the time to ask, so they can only hold it in their hearts.

But all the veterans who knew the whole story, especially those who came from Wagang, all smiled knowingly.

During the Wagangzhai Uprising, our Lu Guogong was the Dade Emperor for a while.

When he met Li Shimin, who was still the king of Qin at that time, he chased several mountains with his Xuanhua axe. Even the king of Qin was hiding in the temple of Laojun, and the gate of the temple was smashed down by Lu Guogong with an axe.

Later Wagang was defeated and Cheng Yaojin returned to the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin jokingly called him "Brother Wang" because of the "Emperor Dade" who was like a child's play back then. Called enthronement.

Then, the name was gradually changed.

But in private, he would occasionally mention it to "trick" this unscrupulous confidant general.

Now it was mentioned in the hall, presumably His Majesty was also afraid that Lu Guogong's words would really "evil" the Buddha, so he did it on purpose.

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, Li Shimin has made his attitude clear.

Sanzang is my royal brother, Lu Guogong is my royal brother
When Yudi came to fetch scriptures, although I sent you, the Bodhisattva from Lingshan came to invite me, so I won't mention the personnel matters;

But now my brother Wang criticizes you a few words, you can't be angry.

"Amitabha." Fa Hai recited the Buddha's name, the so-called see through, but Fa Hai just stretched out his hand to slightly stop Lu Guogong who was walking out quickly.

Lu Guogong was born with brute force, even if he didn't take the initiative to exert force, how could ordinary people stop him?

But this time, he seemed to have bumped into Qin Qiong's iron mace.

Huh?
Then he secretly exerted his strength, hiss——

Tread-tap-

Lu Guogong took a few steps back and asked Master Sanzang curiously: "Is this kind of strength the magic power of Buddhism?"

"It's not Buddhist power." Fa Hai shook his body, and an extremely pure power of human blood gushed out from his body.

This scene attracted many generals to look sideways and secretly marvel.

"Ouch." Lu Guogong called out again, "Almost forgot, the holy monk also got the inheritance of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and Dayu."

Lu Guogong, who was a little stranger at first, suddenly became more friendly with his smile.

Compared with the status of Buddhist eminent monk, it is obvious that the title of "Heir of Xuanyuan" is more recognized in Datang.

Hall today.

Let the Great Sage and Lu Guogong have such a fight back and forth, so it is naturally not serious, but Yudi's return to court is a happy event, and such a relaxed atmosphere seems to be more cordial.

Whether it is Li Shimin or the officials in the court, they are consciously or unconsciously maintaining this atmosphere of transgression.

Lu Guogong was persuaded by Master Sanzang to return to his seat, and he had the cheek to invite Master Sanzang to his house as a guest. Although Lao Cheng didn't like Buddhism, he was proficient in martial arts. He was naturally delighted to meet such a master as Master Sanzang.

Fa Hai did not refuse this either. Although there are imperial physicians who are recuperating the bodies of these veterans, Fa Hai can tell that there are still many years of hidden injuries hidden in the bodies of these generals. It is a burden and a torment.

Perhaps from the perspective of the causal theory of ordinary Buddhism, it is because they caused too much killing on the battlefield, and these injuries are retribution.

But if you look at it from the perspective of a person from the Tang Dynasty, these veterans have fought for their country on the battlefield all their lives, shouldn't they enjoy themselves when they are old?
Fortunately for the Tang Dynasty, there were courtiers like them who served their lives to death, and Emperor Taizong who trusted them enough.

And it doesn't matter if Zhao Song doesn't mention it.

It also took a long time to delay, and it was getting late after a while.

Li Shimin left his eldest grandson Wuji, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin and other veteran officials behind, and also asked Wang Xuance, Xue Rengui and other young and important officials not to leave.

Those who stayed and those who left naturally had two feelings in their hearts.This is inevitable and understandable.

"I heard that when the kings of various countries entertained their younger brothers, they always stayed in the imperial garden." Li Shimin said with a smile, "but I don't know, how are the imperial gardens in other palaces compared to mine?"

Then he led the crowd to the imperial garden.

Before the Great Sage left, he did not forget to put all the scriptures on the hall in the ethnographic bag.

At this time, Li Ji who was on the side asked, "What kind of magic weapon is this, which has such an effect of absorbing things?"

"Speaking of this magic weapon, it actually has a lot of origins—" While on the way, the Great Sage told everyone about how he subdued the yellow-browed monster in Xiaoxitian.

Li Shimin nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and said: "Sure enough, if it's something like this in the mountains, I won't receive any news from here. It's just that I didn't expect this human race bag to be the magic weapon of the Buddha from the east."

Li Ji whispered from the side: "Your Majesty, if we in the Tang Dynasty can imitate this treasure, we will not have to worry about food and grass when we march in the future."

As soon as these words came out, the monarchs and ministers stopped in their tracks.

"It's a pity." The Great Sage also said: "Although this treasure is good, it is the property of the Buddha who came from the east, and it was only loaned to me temporarily. In the future, when his yellow-browed boy returns from many calamities, he may come to take it back. "

Li Ji thought for a while, and then asked the Great Sage, "Dare to ask the Great Sage, are such treasures common in the practice world?"

"Storage magic weapon." The great sage first confirmed the popular name of "this kind of magic weapon" to Li Ji, and then said: "This thing looks precious, but it is actually not uncommon. The gods in the heaven, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Lingshan Almost everyone has one or two of them. Some of them look like kits, and some are made of belts, bracelets, rings, gourds, jade bottles, etc. And the acquired human race bag is actually the most important thing for storage. It is a basic function. As for the cultivation world, my grandson is really not very clear, after all, after my grandson returned from learning, he has always dealt with gods and immortals. In the world of ordinary cultivation, I am really not familiar with it."

"So that's how it is." Li Ji bowed to the Great Sage, "Thank you, Great Sage, for your guidance."

How smart is Dasheng?
Seeing him like this, one could tell what he was thinking: "But do you want to recruit some practitioners under your command?"

Li Ji heard the words, but he looked at His Majesty first, saw His Majesty nodded, and said: "I do have this plan, and I have already had some contact with some masters who practiced in Xianshan."

"I heard that all countries in the Western Continent are now recruiting practitioners. Dongsheng Shenzhou is even more of a cultivating sect that surpasses the national court." Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "If I, Tang Dynasty, do not respond, I am afraid that I will become passive in the future."

"This statement is reasonable. However, Your Majesty." The Great Sage still reminded Li Shimin: "Since the Zhou Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty, most of the real practitioners lived in seclusion in the mountains, and few of them entered the world, let alone became officials. In the war between gods and gods, they are the most taboo about cause and effect in the world. Therefore, if there is someone who speaks loudly in front of His Majesty, please be sure to carefully distinguish the authenticity from the false; if you can't check, you can ask my grandson to watch."

The Great Sage knew very well that after this incident, there would be no obstacles to recruiting practitioners in the country.

Not all practitioners can endure hardship.Some weak-willed people will inevitably not be moved by this.Or those who have great ambitions themselves and are not afraid of being contaminated with secular karma.

Once the ruling class changes, the corresponding problems will be reflected in the livelihood of the people. At least the Great Sage has followed Master to read the scriptures for 14 years, so it is inevitable that he will feel worried.

If it is not handled well, there may be continuous twists and turns.

And Fa Hai had another question in his mind: Should the practice world and the secular world be differentiated?
Fortunately, he is successful in practice, so he doesn't have to worry about the short life, and can spend some time to find the answer.
