Double Journey to the West: Suppress Buddhism and Taoism at the beginning

Chapter 115 Mingyang: Pindao is so disappointed in Datang!

Lin Yao and Xiao Bailong Aoyu accidentally met Guanyin.

"Master, the things in their hands don't seem to be ordinary things."

When Xiao Bailong Aoyu saw this scene, although he couldn't recognize who these two people were, he could still tell that the cassocks and tin staffs on these two people were extraordinary.

Lin Yao said hehe, these are the brocade cassock and the nine-ring tin staff given by the Tathagata himself.

"Given by the Tathagata himself?"

Little Bailong was startled, and then looked at Master Guanyin and the monk transformed by Mu Zha, and then he suddenly realized.

"Could they be..."

"good."

After Lin Yao finished speaking, he stopped paying attention and went straight to the Water and Land Dharma Assembly.

Master Guanyin and Mu Zha also noticed Lin Yao and Xiao Bailong. The two of them had not transformed, so it was not surprising to see them at a glance.

Mu Zha couldn't help but make a sound. "Bodhisattva, it seems that they are also going to participate in the water and land ceremony!"

Mu Zha said worriedly.

"fine."

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva calmly said: "We have already made preparations in Chang'an City. The water and land ceremony is about to begin. The journey to the west is a foregone conclusion!"

The two of them walked forward while talking.

However, in the process, they met Xiao Yu, a minister of the Tang Dynasty.

Xiao Yu devoted himself to Buddha. When he walked to Master Guanyin, he found that Master Guanyin was extraordinary and immediately wanted to introduce Master Guanyin to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and Mu Zha should follow the path of good deeds.

Xiao Bailong watched them leave, and then he said: "That Xiao Yu really has blind eyes and cannot see Mount Tai. He only saw the monk, but never the master."

"It doesn't matter."

Lin Yao said: "Let's go to the water and land ceremony first to see what nonsense Master Xuanzang said and whether he can turn the tide."

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and Mu Zha entered the palace to pay homage to Emperor Tang. Emperor Tang immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of these two treasures.

Immediately, he bought these two treasures and prepared to give them to Xuanzang.

However, just when the Tang Emperor was about to recall Xuanzang to the palace, something unexpected happened. A guard replied: "Your Majesty, the great master Xuanzang, is at the Water and Land Dharma Assembly, meeting with a The Taoist talks about the Tao!"

"what?"

Emperor Tang was slightly startled: "Master Xuanzhuang is extremely talented, how can he still debate for a long time?"

The guard replied: "This Taoist priest does not look like an ordinary person. He said that he is some kind of great national master, and he is arguing with Master Xuanzhuang about what Buddhism represents to the country."

"Grand Imperial Master?"

Emperor Tang was stunned and quickly stood up, "Is he the great national master of Chechi Kingdom?"

"Exactly," the guard responded.

Emperor Tang could no longer maintain his composure: "It turns out to be that great master of the Che Chi Kingdom, a peerless man who went to heaven and then to hell!"

All the civil and military officials present also looked shocked.

They were no strangers to the name "Chechi State Grand Master". They heard from Emperor Tang that how powerful this Grand Master was.

The most important thing is that they are full of curiosity about Che Chiguo, and even can't believe it. When they hear the name of Grand Master, they are no less surprised than Tang Huang.

"The great master of Chechi Kingdom is discussing with Master Xuanzang?" Emperor Tang couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Come, prepare the carriage, I want to go there myself.

"I will go with you! I will go with you!" All the ministers also shouted. Mu Zha couldn't help but look at Master Guanyin and murmured to himself: "Why did Emperor Tang value Mingyang so highly? Are all the civil and military officials so excited when they hear this name?"

Despite the complaints, Mu Zha still followed Tang Huang and others towards the Land and Water Dharma Assembly.

Not long after, the group arrived at Huasheng Temple.

I saw a monk sitting cross-legged on the altar. They were all young people. One had a bald head and a white face, and the other was gentle and elegant with a dignified appearance.

The emperor of Tang Dynasty and others all knew this young monk, it was Xuanzang.

As for the young Taoist, except for Emperor Tang, no one in the civil and military officials present knew him.

"You are a great master at such a young age? I don't know if it is true."

Emperor Tang recognized Lin Yao at a glance, because he had personally seen Lin Yao talking to the Tenth Palace King of Hell, so he was deeply impressed by him.

"Sure enough, it's the Grand Master!" Emperor Tang couldn't help but exclaimed.

With the arrival of the Tang Emperor and the civil and military officials, the whole place fell into silence.

Even Xuanzang on the high platform involuntarily bent down. Lin Yao turned around and stood opposite Xuanzang.

Emperor Tang walked up to Lin Yao and couldn't help but admired: "You are really a great master! After we parted ways in the underworld that day, he said that we would meet in the underworld if we were destined, but I didn't expect that it would be today!"

Lin Yao nodded lightly and said, neither humble nor arrogant: "Yes, when I saw him today, His Majesty has extraordinary bearing and a long life. He can at least sit on the throne for several more decades."

When Emperor Tang heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

A monk below was shouting and scolding: "You are such a rude person. Why don't you be polite when you see Emperor Tang?"

"Master Xuanzhuang has received the gift, so your Majesty doesn't want to bow to you. Who are you, a Taoist priest? Why don't you pay your respects to Emperor Tang immediately?"

Before Emperor Tang could speak, the monk next to him spoke. Lin Yao didn't speak, but Little White Dragon Ao Yu sneered.

"Haha, my master is a great national master of the country. He has a respected position and is an immortal official. Even when he meets the Jade Emperor and the Tenth King of Hell, he can just nod in greeting."

"As the current emperor, how could Emperor Tang accept such treatment?"

Xiao Bailong's words surprised and displeased Emperor Tang, but this was normal. Emperor Tang had seen with his own eyes Lin Yao's status in the eyes of Lord Yan of the Tenth Palace, so he did not dare to force it.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty scolded: "Don't talk nonsense. I am familiar with the imperial master. How can I be a monarch and a minister?"

After a moment, Emperor Tang's expression changed, and he smiled at Lin Yao and said, "Master Imperial Master, please forgive me. I and the Imperial Master can discuss matters on their own terms."

This sudden change of attitude surprised Xuanzang.

Xiaobailong Aoyu snorted coldly, feeling that Emperor Tang was quite sensible and was not rude to his master.

"I didn't expect that the Great Master would actually come to this Land and Water Dharma Assembly."

Tang Huang's voice sounded.

Lin Yao looked calm: "I am originally from Chang'an City. I heard that Master Xuanzang kept preaching at this land and water conference, targeting the people of Chang'an City. There was an endless stream of people coming to listen to the sutras. "

Lin Yao said while looking around.

At this time, many people had gathered around, but with the appearance of Emperor Tang, the place became calm.

"I heard that this time the Water and Land Dharma Assembly invites Buddhists and Buddhists to come and discuss the Tao. The poor Taoist can't help but want to come here to discuss the Tao."

When Lin Yao said this, his eyes fell on Xuanzang: "However, I am still a little disappointed."

Ok?

Emperor Tang wondered: "Why is the Great Imperial Master disappointed?"

"It's not that I'm disappointed with Master Xuanzang, but I'm disappointed with Buddhism, and I'm also disappointed with the Tang Dynasty!"

When Emperor Tang heard Lin Yao's words, he came back to his senses instantly and couldn't help but said: "Why did Buddhism fail to live up to the expectations of the Grand Master? Why did I, the Tang Dynasty, fail to live up to the expectations of the Grand Master?"
