Chapter 11 The mentality collapses
Guanyin Bodhisattva kept holding a flower and smiling until Master Xuanzang said, "Tang Sanzang".
"Tang Sanzang, then are you willing to go to the Buddha Tathagata place in the Western Heaven for the sake of sentient beings to seek the true scriptures to save the suffering of sentient beings?"
"I am willing!" This time, Tang Sanzang responded quite cooperatively.
"It's great, but the journey to Xitian Da Leiyin Temple is more than 18,000 miles. There are many poor mountains and rivers along the way, and there are wild and ferocious beasts, and there are many monsters and ghosts. Don't you regret it?"
"I don't regret it!" Tang Sanzang, who knew that the organization would assign him a monkey, pig, fish, and horse, certainly had nothing to regret. Normally, as long as he gave his disciples less negative status, his safety factor was far higher than the original script.
Plus...
Tang Sanzang, who looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva with a pious and firm look on his face, quietly controlled his muscles, felt the surging power of worship, and inexplicably felt a sense of security.
Nowadays, at least when facing those female fairies, I also have a certain ability to resist.
Guanyin Bodhisattva naturally did not notice Tang Sanzang's obscure behavior, but was quite satisfied with Tang Sanzang's cooperation and then said.
"I think of you as a pious heart toward the Buddha. Today, I will give you a brocade cassock and a nine-ring tin staff on behalf of my Buddha Tathagata. Wear this cassock to avoid falling into the cycle of reincarnation. Holding this tin staff will not be poisoned, and I hope that you can help you successfully complete the journey to the west."
After saying this, Guanyin Bodhisattva stood beside her, the cassock and tin staff in Muzha's hand moved without wind and naturally flew to Tang Sanzang.
The nine-ring tin staff automatically fell into Tang Sanzang's hands, swaying slightly, and the sounds were heard in the ears, like the sound of immortal music and Buddha. Everyone present was intoxicated.
The brocade robe seemed to have vitality, and it was automatically adjusted to size and was put on Tang Sanzang. Suddenly, a large amount of Yuanguang treasure energy dissipated, making Tang Sanzang's handsome and peaceful facial features look different from ordinary people. It was vaguely, and everyone seemed to have seen the true Buddha coming to the world.
"Amitabha, thanks to Guanyin for giving the treasure!"
Although Tang Sanzang didn't care about such external things, he could barely show off his temperament and thanked him happily.
“So great!”
After Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded slightly, he turned into a Buddha light and disappeared in front of everyone.
With the departure of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the ministers of the Tang Dynasty who had always kept their rituals to Guanyin Bodhisattva also bowed to Tang Sanzang, honoring him as "Holy Monk", etc.
After taking over the important task of traveling west to obtain scriptures, the "Water and Land Dharma Assembly" naturally no longer needs to be presided over by Tang Sanzang. More importantly, the Dragon King of Jinghe, who turned into a resentful dragon, has been eliminated by "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva", and Li Shimin is no longer in a hurry to hold such a Dharma Assembly that wastes the people and causes money.
After all, didn’t Guanyin Master clearly say it? What is spread in the secular world today is just Hinayana Buddhism. The Mahayana Buddhism that can truly save the souls and save all sentient beings needs to go to the Great Leiyin Temple in the West to seek it.
"Your Majesty, since I have taken over the important task of going to the West to obtain scriptures, I will set out immediately. I hope Your Majesty will take care of you."
After Guanyin Bodhisattva left, he felt the crowd of gods and Buddhas minions monitoring his eyes again. Tang Sanzang was uncomfortable all over and could not help but set off and went to find the monkey that had been crushed by a mountain for five hundred years.
“Let’s wait…”
However, Li Shimin did not want Tang Sanzang to set off in such a hurry, shouting and said, "Brother Yu, please set off slowly. No matter how anxious he is, at least stay overnight. Let Brother Yu entertain Brother Yu. Brother Yu has experienced a lot today and needs a rest, so he can regain his energy and then set off officially."
"Amitabha, I understand Your Majesty's intentions. But when I think that I set off one day later, all living beings will sink for a day. I really can't eat and can't sleep at night." Tang Sanzang's face showed a sense of great compassion and great compassion, and refused to say.
"Don't say too much, even if you talk about lotus flowers today, you won't want to leave Chang'an City." However, Li Shimin, who felt guilty, did not want to say too much. He ignored the emperor's rituals and grabbed Tang Sanzang's wrist tightly, and turned around to give orders to Yuchi Gong.
"I'm sending the order to twelve gates of Chang'an City, and today all monks are prohibited from leaving Chang'an City."
"This..." Seeing Li Shimin like this, Tang Sanzang had no choice but to sigh helplessly, proclaimed the Buddha's name, and said.
"Amitabha, I just obey my orders. Please do not disturb the normal order of Chang'an City."
"That's right, Brother Yu, let's follow me to the imperial study room for a long talk." Li Shimin grabbed Tang Sanzang's arm and left the already dilapidated hall first and walked towards the imperial study room.
"Brother Yu, I have thought about it carefully. Will it be too hasty to set off tomorrow? If I don't choose a good day to set off again?"
"Your Majesty, please don't say this. I have decided to do it tomorrow at the latest. Otherwise, I will rather hit you and die in the city gate to make my heart clear."
"Okay, okay, brother Yu, don't blame me. I will not say this anymore. But I will hold a family dinner tonight, brother Yu still needs to appreciate his face."
"Your Majesty's grace, I dare not refuse to obey, but..."
"What is the secret that Brother Yu has? Please tell me clearly. If I can do it, I will do my best."
"Your Majesty, can I let go of my monk's hand? I am not used to being like this by men..."
...
As the voices of Li Shimin and Tang Sanzang gradually became weaker, the ministers in the hall also began to get busy.
Today's events, not to mention the disaster of the Dragon King of Jinghe, are enough to cause shock to the Tang Dynasty.
Even if Li Shimin did not give clear instructions, the look left by the king before leaving the hall was enough to make them understand what Li Shimin meant.
Soon, night gradually approached, and in the imperial palace of the Tang Empire, opposite to the ruins of the hall was the noisy in the imperial garden of the palace.
A large number of palace maids were busy and walked by Tang Sanzang in a silence, which attracted the Taoist monk who was arranged by Li Shimin to take his seat in advance to close his eyes and recite scriptures.
"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, feeling, thinking, action and consciousness are also like this..."
After muttering the "Heart Sutra of Prajna Paramita", Tang Sanzang couldn't help but whisper.
"The rumored 3,000 beauties in the harem are really not to deceive me!"
Suddenly, a faintly familiar and delicate voice sounded behind Tang Sanzang with a little surprise.
"Huh? Master Xuanzang, why are you here?"
Immediately afterwards, Tang Sanzang felt the softness sticking to his back, and his mentality immediately collapsed.
My heart is like quiet water... gone!
