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

But he is kneeling down to the Buddha of a Buddhist power, which is somewhat unreasonable.

What's more, this Buddha is not the first in Buddhism.

Why make him kneel down? !

In the past, Li Shimin would kneel down to the statue of Avalokitesvara, not to mention Maitreya Buddha.

But this time, he didn't want to kneel down.

The queen and others came to his side, and wanted to kneel down with him, but Li Shimin didn't make the next move for a long time, and everyone froze in place.

"Erlang, you..."

"I am Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I have seen the Buddha, and the Buddha is very polite."

Li Shimin bowed his hands as a salute, saluting with the attitude of a king seeing a king.

Before he was Rentian Khan, he met the kings of various countries, and he saluted like this.

This appearance immediately stunned the queen and the dignitaries.

The faces of the Buddhists changed drastically.

The old monks such as Tianshu were even more surprised. When they taught Li Shimin about Buddhism, when they took out the statues of Buddha and even Avalokitesvara, Li Shimin would kowtow three times and worship nine times.

Now, when seeing the real Buddha, he just bowed his hands and saluted. Even though he bowed his hands three times, it was not as good as kneeling down to salute!

Seeing that Li Shimin didn't kneel down, the queen stood still, but the prince, princess, and many civil and military ministers couldn't bear such great pressure.

When the true Buddha came to the world, they couldn't calm down unless they knelt down.

It's just that on the high platform, only Li Shimin and the queen are left, and Su Chen is standing there, which seems a little weird.

Maitreya Buddha stepped on the Buddha lotus and carried the Buddha's aura on his back. He seemed a little surprised that Li Shimin didn't even bow down to him.

But he didn't take it seriously, and could only salute Li Shimin according to the etiquette.

"Amitabha, the Emperor is polite, the poor monk has seen the Emperor."

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, he is the emperor, even if the Buddha saw him, he would have to be courteous.

This is the world, he Li Shimin is the biggest.

In Li Shimin's heart at this time, he only felt that he was so proud, and he felt even more that it was Su Chen who gave him such confidence.

Li Shimin said: "Maitreya Buddha suddenly appeared holy, what is the reason?"

Maitreya Buddha said: "The poor monk's appearance this time is naturally for the number one holy monk in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin said: "It turns out that the Buddha is also for Master Xuanzang, but the canonization has not been completed yet, and Master Xuanzang is not yet a holy monk."

Huangmei Shami jumped out and said: "You emperor is so ignorant, my master is the Buddha, if Xuanzang is a holy monk, he is..."

"presumptuous!"

"presumptuous!"

Of these two sentences, one is said by Maitreya Buddha, and the other is said by Su Chen.

And after Su Chen said it, he raised his hand, and a magic mace appeared in his palm, and he swept it directly, and the light swept across, and the yellow-browed novice was swept away.

The yellow-browed novice wanted to resist, but the divine light was so powerful that he was hit suddenly, so he could only fly backwards.

Su Chen stood aside sternly, holding a magic mace in his hand.

Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect Su Chen to make a move suddenly.

Although the novice appeared suddenly and his origin was unknown, it seemed that he was from the Buddhist sect.

In front of the Buddha, Su Chen slapped the Buddha, didn't he slap the Buddha in the face? !

Maitreya Buddha's smile disappeared, and he looked straight at Su Chen, wondering what he was thinking.

Li Shimin was a little panicked and took a step back.

Su Chen said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be afraid. As a teacher of the Tang Dynasty, it is only natural for Pindao to protect His Majesty's safety."

"That old novice suddenly appeared and spoke disrespectfully to His Majesty, and he didn't know if he was going to do something wrong, so the poor can't tolerate him!"

Li Shimin was still in shock and said: "The national teacher has done a good job."

He didn't know that it was a disciple of Maitreya Buddha. In fact, everyone, even Buddhists, didn't know that it was a disciple of Maitreya Buddha.

Just now Maitreya Buddha also said presumptuousness, it seems that he doesn't know that old novice.

At this moment, Su Chen swept away the yellow-browed novice, and Maitreya Buddha couldn't admit that he was his apprentice, so he suffered from being dumb.

Su Chen did not use this as a provocation, but said: "I believe that Maitreya Buddha will definitely understand what Pindao is doing."

Maitreya Buddha did not end his words, but continued: "Your Majesty, don't let my Buddhist event be influenced by insignificant people."

With a pun, he admitted that the old monk was irrelevant, and also meant that Su Chen had nothing to do with the Buddhist event!

Li Shimin is such a character, although he is not a god or a fairy, but in terms of means and emperor's mind, he thinks he can't lose to anyone.

Between Maitreya Buddha and Su Chen is a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, so he must weigh the pros and cons.

After hesitating for a while, Li Shimin smiled and said: "This is indeed a grand meeting of the Buddhist sect, and Master Xuanzang is indeed the number one monk in the Tang Dynasty. In this case, please witness the Buddha. Master Tang crowns him."

Fiction

He didn't want to offend either side, so he simply crowned Xuanzang the king, let Maitreya Buddha witness, and let Su Chen be crowned.

In this way, everyone is happy.

however.

How could Li Shimin understand that what Maitreya Buddha wants is a perfect Tang sage, so that he can be enshrined by thousands of families, so he made a great wish to go to the Western Paradise to learn scriptures with the expectation of all people.

The practice of Buddhism is a bit special. After making a great wish, you will go all out to implement it. If you succeed in the end, you will be able to become a Buddha immediately.

Therefore, Maitreya Buddha asked Xuanzang to make a great wish to travel to the west, and finally the merits and virtues will be completed, he will become a Buddha immediately, and increase his Buddhist heritage!

What would it be like if Su Chen was crowned? !

Chapter 272

Emperor Li Shimin has already stepped back.

Directly give Xuanzang the title of king, the Buddha king of the Tang Dynasty.

But he didn't want to offend Su Chen, so he still wanted Su Chen to crown Xuanzang and establish Su Chen's status as a national teacher.

Maitreya Buddha's eyes sank, but he didn't want Su Chen to cast a shadow over the catastrophe of Journey to the West.

But he hasn't spoken yet.

Xuanzang knelt down, "Thank you, poor monk, Your Majesty."

Xuanzang knelt down to accept the order.

He accepted the order and lowered his head, while the monks all had complex expressions.

People in the Buddhist sect of the Tang Dynasty all hope that Xuanzang can be crowned king, which will give the monks of the Tang Dynasty a firm backing.

But they didn't want Xuanzang to kneel down to Su Chen, and they didn't want Su Chen to crown Xuanzang either.

It's just the lesser of two harms.

They felt that compared with becoming king, letting Su Chen be crowned was a compromise that had to be made, and it was not unacceptable.

Ordinary Buddhists can naturally accept it, even Xuanzang's master thinks it is acceptable.

but.

But Maitreya Buddha couldn't accept it, because he felt that this made Buddhism lose face.

However, Xuanzang has already knelt down, and if he stops him, I am afraid that Li Shimin will make Buddhism disappear from the Tang Dynasty from now on.

As a Buddha, he is also unstoppable.

Su Chen picked up the monk's hat and put it on for Xuanzang.

With a smile on his face, he said, "Xuanzang, from now on you will be a holy monk of the Tang Dynasty. You must shoulder your own responsibilities and be truly compassionate."

Xuanzang said yes.

In fact, he also knew that Buddha Maitreya was probably competing with Su Chen, but he didn't want to cause disputes between Buddhism and Taoism.

He also didn't know who was the best between Su Chen and Maitreya Buddha, but he just didn't want a conflict to break out.

Su Chen taught him Taoism again, so there is nothing unacceptable for Su Chen to kneel down and accept the coronation.

Xuanzang thought so in his heart, but Maitreya Buddha was already bleeding from his heart.

It's fine for Su Chen to crown Xuanzang, but he still dares to say such brash words, the kind of words that can only be said by Buddhist elders, it always feels ironic when it comes out of Su Chen's mouth.

However, Maitreya Buddha was still helpless.

Seeing the coronation, Li Shimin hurriedly eased the tense atmosphere, saying: "Buddhist King Xuanzang, you must remember the instructions of the national teacher. From now on, Buddhism and Taoism in the Tang Dynasty must flourish."

Everyone cheered.

"Amitabha!"

Maitreya Buddha shouted the Buddha's name, suppressing everyone's cheers immediately, he soared into the air, ignored Li Shimin and Su Chen, but stared straight at Xuanzang.

"Xuanzang, since you are already a holy monk of the Tang Dynasty, you have to shoulder your own responsibilities, and what you are reciting today is only the Hinayana Dharma. There is Mahayana Dharma in the Daleiyin Temple in the Western Paradise, which can overcome all hardships in the world. , do you dare to go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures?!"

He clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, if you can get it, your Dharma will be ten thousand times stronger than it is now, and you will also be named a Buddha at that time, and it will be easy to save all people."

Maitreya Buddha deliberately emphasized this point in order to weaken the influence of Su Chen and Li Shimin crowning him.

Anyway, he was crowned as the Buddha King by virtue of the Hinayana Dharma. If he obtains the Mahayana Dharma in the future, he will be able to become a Buddha.

With higher achievements, the Buddha King at this time is not worth mentioning.

Everyone in the Buddhist sect was extremely excited, even Master Tianshu was full of jealousy.

They are all outstanding, but they don't have such a good opportunity.

Although they can learn Buddhist scriptures from the west, Xuanzang was invited by the Buddhist sect, and he will be able to become a Buddha in the future.

Many Buddhists in Chang'an knelt down and begged Xuanzang to go west.

"My Buddhist monks, I implore the Buddha King Xuanzang to learn scriptures from the west and save all sentient beings."

There were also unsuspecting ordinary people who knelt down and begged Xuanzang to go west.

"Praying to the Buddha King to learn the scriptures from the west, saving me is like a sea of ​​suffering."

"Ask the Buddha King to go to the west to learn from the scriptures."

Xuanzang quickly knelt on the ground and said: "Amitabha, disciple Xuanzang has great ambitions, and here he makes a great wish. In this life, he will not be able to attain the Mahayana Dharma, and he will never enter the country."

Maitreya Buddha saw Xuanzang's great wish, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "The journey is difficult and dangerous, along the way there are many insects, fish, birds, beasts, monsters, ghosts and ghosts, do you have the courage?!"

Xuanzang said: "until death."

Maitreya Buddha said: "If you have this heart, my Buddha will not abandon you. This brocade cassock, nine-ring tin staff, purple gold bowl and thousand-fold Buddha hat can protect you all the way westward, so I will give it to you. !"

In the air, he threw down the cassock and other treasures, which fluttered in the wind, and the wind dressed Xuanzang neatly.

All of a sudden, Xuanzang's whole body seemed to be full of Buddha's light, and he was really a full-fledged eminent monk.

Li Shimin couldn't help being amazed, but Su Chen's expression remained the same.

Maitreya Buddha was forced by him, so he couldn't play tricks, and needed to reward things directly. This trip to the west was already a bad start.

After all, according to the original trajectory, Maitreya Buddha wants to test whether Xuanzang has the determination to go west and whether he is sincere enough for Buddhism.

These treasures were to be sold to him, if Xuanzang was willing to do so, he would go bankrupt and buy them.

But now, send it directly.

This meaning is different.

This move alone is enough to add a lot of work to the Buddhist sect, allowing them to find ways to test Xuanzang.

Su Chen didn't need to think too much, just looking at Maitreya Buddha's eyes, he knew how angry he was at this moment.

but.

There was still a spring breeze on his face, "Very well, Xuanzang, I am looking forward to your visit to the Great Leiyin Temple in the Western Heaven."

Then go back with the wind.
