Fantasy Westward Journey: I bring the system Changan fortune-telling

Chapter 63 Water and Land Ceremony and Degree System

The next day, the imperial city set up a list, and in response to the wishes of the people, selected eminent monks to hold the Water and Land Dharma Ceremony!

The full name of the Water and Land Dharma Association is "Dharma Realm Saint Fan Water and Land Pudu Dazhai Shenghui". There are three goals to be achieved: one is to pursue goodness and salvation for the dead, and the other is to return this merit to the benefactor himself and his family, so as to prolong life and increase blessings. The third is to save sentient beings of the six realms and transcend the three realms.

The Water and Land Ceremony was arranged to be held by Huasheng Temple, with the secret support of Guanyin. The monks in the temple elected Xuanzang as the abbot of the Water and Land Ceremony.

Sure enough, after Li Shimin agreed to the request of the Buddhist sect to hold the Water and Land Dharma Conference, Li Xiang never jumped out to be a demon. The Guanyin master was very satisfied, and went to the Jiuchongtian in person, and invited the new Guanzhong Siyulongshen to the Leibu, and the Guanzhong celestial phenomenon changed , good weather.

The common people were delighted, and they had a preliminary favorable impression of Buddhism in their hearts.

In Yong'an Palace.

Li Shimin asked Li Xiangdao: "National teacher, after I agreed with Huasheng Temple to organize the Water and Land Ceremony, the weather in the Guanzhong area has been smooth, and the Yellow River breach has also been repaired by the local government to minimize the loss. Today, everyone in Guanzhong is a prosperous place. Inheriting the feelings of Buddhism, there is the meaning of facing the Buddha, and Buddhist temples are being built in various places, and most of the people are ordained and become monks. How does the national teacher want to deal with it?"

Li Xiang rolled his eyes, it's none of my business, I'm not a Buddhist monk, I'm even a fake Taoist priest, how can I worry so much?

He also thought that the Great Immortal Chi Jing had approached him yesterday and asked him to do his best to stop the momentum of Buddhism.

Li Xiangdao: "Your Majesty, Buddhist monks don't do production. They study Buddhist scriptures all day long and practice their own body. It is of no benefit to social development."

Li Shimin nodded, deeply convinced, and said, "I don't know what the national teacher's opinion is?"

Li Xiang replied: "The poor have a policy, to implement the system of system!"

Li Shimin asked: "Can the national teacher explain in detail?"

Li Xiang replied: "The degree certificate is a certificate that allows monks to be ordained as monks and nuns. Those who have a degree certificate can be exempted from corvee labor, and can even be allocated part of the land."

Li Shimin was shocked: "Doesn't this move encourage people to shave or become a monk? Exemption from corvee, granting land, how can this be done?"

Li Xiang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, after listening to the poor Taoist, the power of ordination must be firmly controlled by the government. Only after the government has screened or passed the test can the ordination be issued. Those who become monks without the permission of the government are called "Private degree" should be severely punished. In this way, the number of monks in the world is under the control of the government, and if the Buddhist sect wants to grow, you need to ask His Majesty if you agree! And the monks are well paid, which can also stop the Buddhist tongue. Let me ask you, if you can’t even pass the test, how can you talk about devout faith? The Buddhist scriptures are obscure, and ordinary people have very few literacy, so how can you pass the test? No matter how strong Buddhism is, you still have to rely on your majesty in the world!”

Li Shimin was overjoyed, and said: "Good idea! I have decided, and I will do as the national teacher said! By the way, Taoism is also included, and monks and Taoists must also be certified!"

Li Xiang:"???"

Li Shimin said happily: "National teacher, wait for the degree system to be officially promoted, you take the lead in taking the degree test first, as an example!"

"Farewell!"

Li Xiang turned around and left.

......

Time flies, and it is already the end of August. More than [-] eminent monks from all over the world gathered in Huasheng Temple. It is expected that the water and land ceremony will be officially held on September [-]. Around Huasheng Temple, there are bursts of Buddha light every day, and Sanskrit chanting is endless. Seeing the supernatural powers of Buddhism, the common people all raised their hearts to Buddha, but unfortunately because of the newly implemented system of degrees, they were not allowed to enter the Buddhist gate.

Master Avalokitesvara knew about the degree system, but he didn’t know whether he was disdainful or powerless. He didn’t stop it, but rather agreed with this system. Perhaps in his eyes, Buddhist disciples should be elites. Also useless.

In the past few months, Li Xiang has lived a regular life, except for daily fortune-telling and obsessed with cultivating skills. He sings a song every morning, practice chirping, and then go back to his room to let himself go and practice being pitiful - he has already mastered this skill It is extremely high, and it can be used only by pinching the orchid finger without revealing its charming aura. He feels that it can be used as a conventional combat method.As for his practice process, I won't list them here one by one, everyone can make up their own brains.

Finally, there is the life skill of Chinese medicine. From the beginning of the time travel, the skill that won the lottery has been with him for three years, and now it is about to reach the full level of 160. It is inseparable from the support of Li Shimin, the golden master of the Tang Dynasty!

It is worth mentioning that in the process of daily fortune-telling, many Hu merchants made a special trip to the National Teacher's Mansion to beg Li Xiang. The first one was Hezlu, who had helped Li Xiang fortune-telling to help him escape death.In addition to Hezlu, there are many other Hu merchants who have been reminded by Hezlu to avoid the demon area north of Fuyuan Temple.

As for the Hu merchants who didn't believe in Li Xiang and didn't listen to Hezlu's persuasion, they returned to Datang this time, and Hezlu never saw them again.

Li Xiang received them, and they offered unique and exotic gifts. Li Xiang accepted them politely, and generously promised that he could come to him next time he returned to help them fortune-telling.

At the same time, three people dressed as vendors came to Chang'an Ximen.

The first person looked older, with forehead lines on his forehead, and even faintly formed a "king" character. His body line was very good, as if he had martial arts.

The second person had a dark complexion, thick hair, and a stout physique. His chest was exposed, and his chest hair was clumps, as if straightened by a steel wool ball.

The third person was the tallest and most muscular, with a body full of tendon and flesh, as if his skin was going to explode, and he was obviously a man of infinite strength.

At this moment, the three of them gathered together and chatted, with saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths, as if they were mentally retarded fools, but if anyone could hear their words, they would be scared to death!

I can only hear the humane with the "king" character raised up: "Second brother Xiong, third brother Niu, look at that woman, she has big arms and thick arms, she is tender and chewy, and has a unique fragrance, according to my many years of experience , the most delicious!"

The hairy black fat man said: "Brother Yin, in my opinion, it's still delicious for a juicy young woman. It melts in the mouth and has a fragrant fragrance. It's the most delicious."

The tall and strong man said: "Is it just me who has a special taste? I think the aroma of the old one is stronger and chewy!"

The three of them actually discussed cannibalism in broad daylight!

If Li Xiang, the national teacher of the Tang Dynasty, was here, he would be able to recognize these three pickled bastards at a glance. They were the three little demon kings in the demon domain north of Fuyuan Temple, General Yin, Lord Xiongshan, and Special Clerk.

The three demons have only been practicing for 300 years, only in the realm of transforming form, and have not even reached the realm of controlling the wind for 500 years. , something that even the local guards dare not touch head-on.
