Datang unsigned for six years, only to know that it is Journey to the West

Su Chen pretended not to understand, and said: "Buddha was joking, the poor have always been on the mountain, this is the third time to go down the mountain, there is no intersection with Buddhism, how can there be a test?"

Maitreya Buddha said: "Hehe, the monks in my Tang Dynasty often burn incense and pray, and the poor monk has heard about it more than once. Although fellow Taoists have not personally tested it, there are countless people who are willing to test my Buddhism for them."

Not to be outdone, Su Chen said: "So that's the case, there must be some misunderstanding, and the poor will go back and criticize them."

The two chatted in a strange way, and the yellow-browed novice next to him frowned.

Originally, he thought that he would be superior to Su Chen, but now Maitreya Buddha said these strange words to Su Chen for the first time, and he heard it, which made him feel that he seemed unable to intervene.

It seems that Maitreya Buddha put Su Chen on an equal level, and tried again and again.

Su Chen didn't want to communicate too much with Maitreya Buddha. This is a dangerous master, and he will lose his words if he speaks too much.

He walked directly to the high platform, where the emperor and all the nobles of the Tang Dynasty gathered. Ordinary people could not get close to it, but Su Chen came and went freely.

Su Chen said: "I don't want to bother the Buddha to test the Buddha. There is still something to do. Let's go first."

Don't wait for a reply, just go there.

Maitreya Buddha watched Su Chen leave with deep eyes.

Huangmei Shami was a little upset and said: "Master, why are you so polite to him? He treats my monks in Tang Dynasty so badly, and if he curbs the development of my Buddhism, he should be directly suppressed."

Maitreya Buddha said: "What do you know? He is the Heavenly King of Exile and the guardian of the city emperor. He represents the Heavenly Court. If Buddhism wants to move him, it will move the Heavenly Court."

Huangmei Shami said: "So what about the Heavenly Court, they have something to ask of us, hum, it's time for the Jade Emperor to make a choice."

Maitreya Buddha was silent for a moment, sighed, and said: "This is where the poor monk is in trouble. Not long ago, Zhang Lingguan came to Lingshan with the order of the Jade Emperor, and bluntly said that Li Changgeng had something to do and would not wait for the Buddhist scriptures at Shuangcha Ridge."

The yellow-browed novice hadn't figured out what it meant, so he scratched his head with a puzzled face.

As if seeing his thoughts, Maitreya Buddha explained, "This shows that the Jade Emperor does not want to get involved in the catastrophe of Journey to the West, and will no longer obey my Buddhist sect!"

Huangmei novice said angrily: "How dare the Jade Emperor do this?"

Maitreya Buddha scolded: "Presumptuous, he is the Jade Emperor, why dare not?"

One sentence left Huangmei Shami speechless, hesitant to speak.

After a long silence, he said, "Master, why did the Jade Emperor suddenly change his attitude?"

Maitreya Buddha said: "I don't know, but Wugou was suddenly conferred the title of Heavenly King, and the rewards are generous, and he has grievances and grievances with my Buddhist sect, so there is no guarantee that it will not be related to him."

"It's him again." Huangmei Shami said angrily: "Master, let me kill him. Then I will say that I have left the Buddhist sect, and the heavens will not be able to blame the Buddhist sect!"

Maitreya Buddha sighed, and said: "It is enough to say that the lake can mess with ordinary people, but it is impossible for the lake to mess with heaven."

Then he said again: "Also, you can't beat him."

Huangmei Shami was not reconciled, and retorted: "Impossible, the disciple has become the lower rank of the Taiyi Golden Immortal 3000 years ago, with a penetrating cultivation base, he is still easy to deal with a mere Taoist priest."

Maitreya Buddha didn't explain too much, but just ordered: "Remember, you can't beat him, so don't mess around."

"Okay, let's take a good look at it. Xuanzang's Buddhism still has some flaws. I'm afraid he can't argue with Tianshu."

Huangmei Shami said: "Master, don't worry, the disciple has already entrusted Tianshu with a dream, he dare not surpass Xuanzang."

Maitreya Buddha nodded, occasionally glanced at Su Chen who had already walked towards the high platform and saw the emperor.

He wasn't worried that Buddhists would argue against Xuanzang, but he was worried that Su Chen would obstruct Xuanzang's westward journey.

on the high platform.

Su Chen's arrival immediately caused a commotion.

Attract all the precious eyes from the Buddhist altar and fall on him.

The emperor Li Shimin, the empress, the princes, and many princes and ministers all stood up to respond.

Li Shimin said in surprise: "Tianshi, it's really a Tianshi, you're really here!"

The queen and all the princes and ministers bowed and saluted, "I have seen Master Tianshi."

Su Chen nodded his head slightly, and then saluted the emperor and empress as a return.

Su Chen said: "Your Majesty invited Pindao back then, since Pindao has already agreed, how can there be any reason to speak ill?!"

Li Shimin immediately felt that he had gained face in front of many dignitaries, and his old body couldn't help standing upright.

Smiling, he stepped forward and took Su Chen's hand, and they were about to sit on the dragon bed together.

Su Chen insisted not to sit down, but asked someone to bring a stool and sat down beside him.

Seeing this, the emperor asked people to remove the dragon bed, and sat on the stool with Su Chen, and brought a desk between them.

"Tianshi, I heard from Wei Xiang that a few days ago, there seemed to be an immortal from the sky who came down to earth and named you the king of heaven. Now you are the king of the sky, and I am not as good as you."

Li Shimin smiled and pulled Jiachang.

Su Chen said: "Your Majesty is joking, the Heavenly King is equivalent to the Marquis in the world, and Your Majesty is the Human Emperor, just like the Jade Emperor in the sky."

Li Shimin felt comfortable physically and mentally.

Then he said: "The Celestial Master's coming this time just happens to be able to determine the number one monk in the Tang Dynasty. I originally wanted to personally give a gift to him. Since the Celestial Master is here, I will leave this matter to the Celestial Master!"

It is too late for Su Chen to confer the title of the first monk in the Tang Dynasty, but if this is the case, it will prove that in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the Daoist sect has stabilized the Buddhist sect.

after all.

Su Chen is the leader of Taoism, and he was named the first monk of Tang Dynasty.

Only the superiors seal the subordinates.

Su Chen smiled, which actually showed Li Shimin's attitude.

Chapter 270 Su Chen was named the Great Tang State Teacher first, and Maitreya appeared to help the Westward Journey

That's all Su Chen asked for.

Apart from accepting the appointment, he came here this time because he didn't want to see the Buddhist family dominate.

Although he is more Buddhist, it doesn't mean that he is willing to watch Buddhism continue to grow.

At that time, there will be no place for Taoism in Datang.

During this trip, I met Maitreya, which made him feel dignified and strengthened the determination and importance of Buddhism to go west.

Avalokitesvara fell and reshaped her body.

But Maitreya came in person, and this catastrophe could not be stopped at all.

Since it can't be stopped, let's add some blocking.

Su Chen wanted to make the Journey to the West catastrophe not so smooth, at least not too sensational, not mighty, so that the people of Tang Dynasty had too much expectation.

Now at the grand meeting of Buddhism, he can bestow the title of the first monk of Buddhism, which is enough to make Taoism overwhelm Buddhism.

Su Chen smiled and said, "Isn't it appropriate to do this?"

He still has to be humble.

Li Shimin said: "Heavenly Master is just right, and I plan to announce a big event later."

Su Chen didn't know what was the big deal that made Li Shimin seem to take it so seriously.

To announce it after the Water and Land Ceremony is over.

The queen and princes all laughed, showing their best side to Su Chen.

Obviously, when Wei Zheng said that Su Chen was named the Heavenly King, the entire Tang Dynasty's dignitaries were excited.

Su Chen is not only a god, he is also a king of heaven.

He is a leader among the immortals, if he can get his guidance or protection, he may also become an immortal.

Even if you can't become a fairy, it's good to live a few more years and have fewer disasters and illnesses.

So they tried their best to curry favor with Su Chen, and it was good to make a good impression.

Su Chen also saw Li Zhi. At this time, Li Zhi was incomparably beautiful, and when he met Su Chen's eyes, he was full of gratitude and excitement.

The two looked at each other, everything was silent.

The civil and military ministers also met Su Chen's eyes, and many of them couldn't help but stand tall when Su Chen glanced over.

They all want Su Chen to see the best side, but there are also some people who look away and flicker.

This kind of people are all the spokespersons of Buddhism, or they are ministers who support the other princes.

There are quite a few of them.

Su Chen smiled at all the civil and military ministers.

Sitting next to Li Shimin, just watching the Dharma Conference, his eyes occasionally glanced at the crowd.

There are many emotions in his heart. Once upon a time, he was a little Taoist priest who almost couldn't even defend the Dragon Transformation Temple in Yunyuan Mountain.

Ever since his master died, he has been walking on eggshells.

Unexpectedly, after only six or seven years, he has grown to such an extent that not only the king of a country wants to dismantle the dragon bed to accompany him, but also the ministers of civil and military affairs, and the royal family and relatives all pay him the highest respect.

Su Chen's emotion didn't last long, and the sundial marking the end time of the Dharma Conference had already pointed to the corresponding scale.

The Minister of Rites took a step forward, "Master Xuanzang talked about Buddhism for three days and three nights without failing. He is really the number one eminent Buddhist monk in the Tang Dynasty."

Xuanzang stood up and bowed to the Minister of Rites.

Many monks also stood up one after another. Although they all came to embarrass Xuanzang, they were still very happy to see that Xuanzang represented Buddhism and received such high attention and honor.

Recently, Master Tianshu has been receiving a dream from a Buddhist virtuous man, asking him to abdicate and make way for the new one. Although he is very dissatisfied, he has to obey.

For this reason, he just caught Xuanzang's loopholes in Buddhism, and almost defeated Xuanzang's argument, but in the end he could only bypass it.

Presumably Xuanzang could sense it, and Master Tianshu could only honestly give up his position as the number one monk in the Tang Dynasty.

He clasped his hands together and said, "The poor monk is ashamed of himself, Xuanzang is the number one eminent monk in my Tang Dynasty."

All the monks clasped their hands together, "Amitabha Buddha, the poor monk and others are ashamed, and I wish Master Xuanzang to be the number one holy monk in the Tang Dynasty!"

Holy Monk!

As all the monks shouted in unison, the voice spread like waves throughout Chang'an, and countless people heard the word.

Xuanzang was hesitant to speak, but he had already noticed when he was arguing just now that Master Tianshu seemed to have a Dharma that could make him very embarrassed.

I'm afraid it's him, and he will have to think for a long time before he can find a way to refute whether it is correct or not.

As long as he still has doubts, he cannot be regarded as the true consummation of Buddhism.

Therefore.

Xuanzang thought that he was not worthy of the title of the number one holy monk in the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that when he looked at Tianshu and the others, as well as his master, the abbot of Baima Temple, who brought many fellow disciples to watch the ceremony, he knew that he couldn't back down.

Not only can't shrink back, but also can't show timidity.

Even if the name of the number one holy monk is not worthy of the name, he still has to live up to it.

Xuanzang was a little tangled in his heart, but he still took the initiative to go forward and knelt down to Li Shimin and the queen.

"The poor monk Xuanzang, the Dharma is complete, and I pay homage to the emperor and queen."

He raised his head and saw Su Chen, his heart trembled, he didn't know why, at this moment he should have been the focus of attention, and the Buddha Dharma cast his heart.

but.

Seeing Su Chen, his Buddha heart was shaken again.

Su Chen looked as usual, calm and composed, sitting next to Li Shimin, like an outsider.

Countless people also noticed Su Chen, and immediately, countless people bowed down one after another.

"Meet the Celestial Master, greet the Celestial Master."

"Meet the Celestial Master, greet the Celestial Master."

"Meet the Celestial Master..."

Many people with sharp eyes noticed that Su Chen was sitting with Li Shimin on the powerful platform.

Immediately kneel down and salute, other people can't see it, and know what happened, so follow along.

Most of the people who don't know why, but they also bowed down.

All of a sudden, under the entire Dharma conference, countless people knelt down one after another, not worshiping the holy monk or the emperor, but worshiping Su Chen.
