Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

"why?"

Although Sizi had this opportunity, for Li Shimin, he couldn't feel at ease.

There is no such cheap thing in the world. Sizi Yang’s life is about to end. When he should have died, Guanyin Bodhisattva descended from the sky and accepted Sizi into the Buddhist School of the South China Sea. Since then, he has cast off his mortal body and his death certificate. It seems that he has obtained the long life that ordinary people dream of. .

Why?
"Because Brother Huang is the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, because Sizi is in the Temple of Mercy, and because even a Bodhisattva wants to establish a lineage in the Tang Dynasty." Fa Hai looked at Li Shimin and said what Li Shimin was thinking.

Li Shimin remained silent, because what Master Sanzang said was exactly what he was thinking.

If the Bodhisattva saved Sizi, then he owed the Bodhisattva a share of karma. Even though the Bodhisattva would not threaten him with this, once the suspicion of the emperor arises, how can it be so easily eliminated?
"Brother Huang's heart is for the prosperity of the human king back then. Don't you know that the Kunlun gods all served under the command of the human king. The human king is not the king of the human race, but the king of the world."

"Bodhisattvas are also in the human world."

Boom!

Li Shimin's heart stopped suddenly, and then started beating rapidly.

The words of Yudi seem to have nothing to do with the worries in my heart, but they are actually reminding myself to take a long-term view. If I can reproduce the scene of the ancient kings, then even if the gods and Buddhas of the heavens come to the world, they will have to live. Accept your own constraints and jurisdiction.

Having one's own strength is the original and right path.

But Li Shimin calmed down quickly. Even if he thinks highly of himself, he still doesn't dare to think about leading the gods and Buddhas.

"Brother Yu, sometimes I really doubt it. If you are not from the Buddhist sect, but from the general sect, then what will happen to my Tang Dynasty?"

"Amitabha." Fa Hai smiled instead, "Brother, could it be that you have forgotten that the grandfather of your brother is the Duke of Yun?"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Speaking of which, your father was a scholar of Wenyuandian, and after your mother committed suicide, he resigned and returned to my hometown. I haven't seen him for a long time."

Fa Hai thought for a while, "When my younger brother left Chang'an and went to Lingshan to learn Buddhist scriptures, my father also came to Chang'an to see him off. But this time he came back, but he didn't go to see him."

"I heard that he opened an academy in the countryside to accept students and impart knowledge. The sect is very prosperous." Li Shimin also sighed softly, and said: "It's embarrassing to say what happened back then. Your father was originally a man of great talents, but I The champion of the court was actually murdered by an adulterer. Fortunately, my younger brother was born with destiny and was not poisoned. Otherwise, it would be a trivial matter for me to become a sworn brother. If the three worlds lost a holy Buddha because of this, it would be a great pity for the three worlds. "

"Brother Huang speaks too seriously, a poor monk is nothing more than an ordinary monk, how can he deserve such absurd praise from Brother Huang."

Li Shimin knew that Sanzang was always modest, so he didn't argue too much, he just asked Master Sanzang for advice: "My brother thinks, what should I do with regard to Bodhisattvas?"

"Since it is Guanyin Bodhisattva, Your Majesty, you don't need to worry so much." If other Bodhisattvas did this, Fa Hai would definitely think that the other party had ulterior motives, but Guanyin Bodhisattva is different after all, "Just let nature take its course. Anyway, Sizi is The Bodhisattva's salvation is infallible."

That is to say, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva wants to accept Sizi into the Buddhist School of the South China Sea, otherwise Fa Hai will be determined to keep Sizi for a few days, and then he will pass Sizi into Buddhism when the Weizhi Sect opens the gate.

Li Shimin nodded slightly, Yudi's words are not unreasonable, plus there is still Yudi sitting in Chang'an, so what if the Bodhisattva establishes a Taoist inheritance in the Tang Dynasty?
What's more, with the Bodhisattva's reputation in the Three Realms, it is really not something he can easily stop if he wants to oppose it if he wants to preach in the Tang Dynasty.

As for Sizi being admitted to Buddhism, he can only say that he was lucky to save his life, and Li Shimin would not do what he asked for.

It's time for a person's lifespan to end.
Li Shimin, who had this thought again, couldn't help but think of his founding heroes Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Qin Shubao, Wei Zheng and others, who passed away one after another.
Every time he hears bad news, it is actually a physical and psychological devastation for Li Shimin.

Man is envied by heaven, so his life span is very short.

This is also true, since ancient times, until now, the human race has always had no shortage of talents, and it can be said that talents come out from generation to generation.

Li Shimin looked at the younger brother in front of him, and sighed in his heart: Isn't my younger brother the pride of heaven who overwhelms this era?
Thinking of this, his waist straightened even more.

In the main hall of Ci'en Temple.

Bodhisattva and Jin Guangxian were invited by Fa Hai to meet here.Li Shimin and his three sons were also in the hall.

Everyone was familiar with the bodhisattva, but it was indeed the first time seeing Jin Guangxian. After being introduced by Master Sanzang, they realized that this seemingly inconspicuous Taoist priest was actually a great Taoist immortal, so it was naturally another salute.

It's just that Jin Guangxian was a bit cautious when he saw the Bodhisattva. As for Princess Jinyang's entry into the Bodhisattva's school, Jin Guangxian was helpless, and he could not do anything about the matter of forcibly robbing the disciple from the Bodhisattva. If you dare to make a move, you may not be able to snatch it.

Don't let the apprentice fail to grab it at that time, but put himself in it instead.

However, Jin Guangxian's trip was not fruitless.
Perhaps the eldest brother Li Chengqian and the younger sister Sizi both worshiped famous teachers. When Wei Wang Li Tai learned of Jin Guangxian's identity from Master Sanzang, he went up to greet him directly, "Xiaowang has met the fairy elder."

Jin Guangxian smiled slightly, "The poor are polite."

"I don't know if Xiao Wang has a fairy fate?"

In the early years, because of Li Shimin's favor, Li Tai, king of Wei, had a somewhat flamboyant and domineering personality. Although he failed to seize the heirloom before, he only lost the qualification to compete for the throne.

If he fails to become an emperor, he will practice immortality. This is the path his eldest brother chose, and he also successfully worshiped Taoist Master Li Chunfeng as his teacher. When he heard his father talking about it just now, he knew that his eldest brother had already been approved by Laojun, and he officially joined the People's Education Gate Wall .

Not to be outdone, Li Tai. Hearing that Jin Guangxian is the Great Immortal of Jiejiao, he naturally moved his mind.

At this moment, he did not hide his thoughts at all, and asked Jin Guangxian directly.

Like Li Tai's temperament, it seems arrogant. In fact, in Jin Guangxian's view, it is just a child's temperament, which is normal.

If you really want to talk about unruly temperament. Even Yang Jian, Nezha and Monkey King may not be able to rank in the forefront in front of their disciples.

"Aptitude is acceptable." Jin Guangxian looked at Li Tai for a moment, then looked at Li Shimin, and said with a smile: "If His Majesty allows it, I can accept His Royal Highness King Wei as an apprentice, and it is not a bad idea to be a free and unrestrained immortal in the future."

"Just a Sanxian?" Li Tai was still not satisfied.

"Hahaha——" Jin Guangxian laughed three times, and said: "You really are not greedy enough, and Sanxian is not satisfied? As the prince of the heaven, it is very rare to be able to cultivate into a Sanxian. The power of the tribulation thunder will be multiplied when the immortal crosses the tribulation. This is one of the reasons why since ancient times, neither the king nor the son of heaven practiced cultivation, and even the disciples of the royal family, there are very few who can cross the tribulation and become an immortal."

Among them, the most famous one is Liu An, the king of Huainan in the Han Dynasty.

The so-called allusion of "one person attains the Tao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven" comes from this prince
Li Tai thought for a while, but said: "Other people can't do it, so can I be alone too? I don't believe in fate, if the Taoist master accepts me as a disciple, maybe he will teach a real Tianjun in the future, isn't it also a beautiful story that has been passed down through the ages?"

After finishing speaking, Li Tai looked at Li Shimin again, and said: "Father, my child wants to worship the Taoist priest as a teacher, and I ask my father to make it happen."

Li Tai still knew it in his heart, among other things, based on his father's respect for his younger brother Li Zhi and the support of his uncle Sanzang, it was basically difficult to shake the position of Ji Nu as the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Now that they have broadened their horizons, they will naturally not only stare at the position of the Great Tang Emperor, facing such a vast Three Realms. Knowing the future, whether they are trapped in this Chang'an City, or in the future. Not a good choice.

They are the sons of Tian Khan, so they should do something.

"Since Qingque is so confident. Zhen, I will help you."

Li Shimin didn't refuse either. After all, he still wanted to see the current situation more than fratricide. As for whether Chengqian and Qingque would dare to make a comeback and attack the pheasant slaves after they had successfully cultivated the Tao. He thought Don't worry about it just yet.

As the king of a country himself, he already has a lot of experience in using the emperor's ziwei aura. Just now, because he learned that Sizi Yangshou is about to die, he has other insights, and after digesting it, he can also dissipate it For its own foundation.

It's also because Li Zhi's body is somewhat weak, and he doesn't have much talent in human martial arts, so he can only practice more in the emperor's spirit.

Jin Guangxian was not hypocritical, and Wei Wang Li Tai was even more decisive, and the two of them didn't need any special ceremony. Wei Wang Li Tai kowtowed to Jin Guangxian a few times, and he successfully entered Jin Guangxian's sect.

After all, he is of the blood of an emperor, so Li Tai's talent is definitely not bad even in the world of cultivation. Unfortunately, because he possesses the aura of an emperor, he is doomed to never have a smooth journey in cultivating immortals.

As for the three holy emperors who are able to distract themselves from cultivating the power of human bloodlines, they are really talented and lucky.
What's more, with their temperaments, if Heavenly Tribulation really wants to chop them, they will never sit still. I am afraid that they will rush into the robbery cloud first, and first try to smash the robbery cloud.

Here, Jin Guangxian asked Master Sanzang curiously, "Holy Monk, why is there not a Buddha statue in this hall?"

In the main hall of the Wisdom-Wei Sect of Ci'en Temple, there is not a single Buddha statue. This is quite a blast in the entire Three Realms.

In particular, Master Sanzang is still a Buddhist holy Buddha, which inevitably made Jin Guangxian curious.

As for this matter, Bodhisattva did not find it strange, and Li Shimin and the three princes were already used to it.

The Bodhisattva didn't find it strange because she knew the nature of Tripitaka best. Instead of doing those formal rituals of worshiping Buddha, it is better to recite the Buddhist scriptures several times seriously. Oh, Wukong just recited silently in his heart, no need to speak out.

As for Li Shimin and his son, it was because Master Sanzang ordered the monks to remove all the Buddha statues in the temple on the first day he entered the temple.

If it is a stone statue, it will be preserved, but if it is made of gold, it will be melted directly to help the poor.

After all, Ci'en Temple was built by the royal imperial edict, and there are many treasures in it. But apart from some orphaned classics, Master Sanzang left nothing behind.

It even issued an announcement that the Ci'en Temple will not accept incense money from the people
At that time, the big move of Ci'en Temple was unexpected for the Buddhist sects in Chang'an. They didn't know whether they should follow suit.

Even though Master Sanzang came out and stated that the temples in Chang'an did not have to learn the temple rules of the Ci'en Temple, there was still a lot of trouble in private.

After all, the thinking of the people is very simple: Master Sanzang is a holy Buddha, the Mahayana "Mahayana Heaven", the Hinayana "Liberation Heaven" recognized by Lingshan Buddha, and the "right and omniscient" of the entire Buddhist sect. Can a dignified and holy Buddha do wrong things?

What's more, it doesn't matter if you don't collect incense money from the people, but take out the treasures in the temple to help the poor people.
So how do other Buddhist temples do it?
Comparing the two, the common people are naturally more convinced of the Temple of Mercy where Master Sanzang lives.

Everything is afraid of comparison. For those ordinary Buddhist temples in the world, Master Sanzang's action is tantamount to drawing fire from the bottom.

Although there are also some Buddhist sects who have won over a group of people with the words "without Buddha statues and no respect for incense, the Buddha cannot bless them". However, facing the peak of personal charm at the moment, Sanzang Master, it is obviously not enough.

Even when they were making great fanfare and preparing to come to Ci'en Temple to "make trouble", a passer-by suddenly said: "Are you stupid? Master Sanzang, the holy Buddha of the Tang Dynasty, you don't believe in Sanzang who does good in the world, but believe in those Stone statues, twitter twitter—”

Just a simple sentence almost turned half of the people against them. After all, most of them worshiped Buddha just for peace of mind.

Worshiping a living holy Buddha is not more useful than worshiping those stone statues and golden bodies?
Not so much the Temple of Mercy, but a temple.

Rather, it is a school, the difference is that this school does not teach Confucianism, but Buddhism.

Widely open the mountain gate and pass on the knowledge to the disciples. This is the insight that Fa Hai got after discussing the Tao with the sage Confucius in the Huoyun Cave that day.

Faced with Jin Guangxian's question, Fa Hai didn't say anything else. Instead, he asked Jin Guangxian for advice: "I don't know if there is any statue of a Buddha in Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea where the Bodhisattva is enshrined?"

Well.
Jin Guangxian paused for a moment, because the Bodhisattva's Luojia Mountain Dojo is indeed clean.

Ordinarily, the bodhisattva was born to explain teachings, and it is reasonable to worship the Taoist ancestor of Sanqing, but she "rebelled" from Taoism and joined Buddhism;

However, the two saints of the Western religion and the two Buddhas of Theravada Buddhism, the bodhisattvas did not have any incense with them;

In addition to today's Mahayana Buddhism, although the leader is the Tathagata Buddha, there is even more of the Bodhisattva's hard work. After coming and going, the Nanhai Luojia Mountain Dojo really has nothing to offer.
