After Becoming a Taoist - Chapter 923

   Chapter 923 Westbound Initial

  Li Shimin was still thinking about the education of the prince, but soon began to make a memorial.

   It’s just this one, it’s still Xuanzang’s request to clear the customs and go to Tianzhu to ask for the scriptures.

   Li Shimin talked to him before, in fact, Li Shimin intends to support him as the leader of Buddhism in the Middle Earth, as long as Chen Xuanzang is obedient, this is also an idle chess left for the imperial power and against the growing Taoist forces.

   But Chen Xuanzang still insisted on leaving and leaving. How can he come back alive after leaving? So Datang lost another available talent.

   But if you don’t let him go west, I’m afraid that you will keep bothering yourself.

  Li Shimin couldn’t think of a specific method, so he had to approve another note for “re-discussion”.

   then stopped processing it and placed it under another pile of “hanging” documents.

   At this time, Chen Xuanzang was already debating in Qinglong Temple, and the monks who debated all the time had no rivals. Only the monk Bajie could argue with Chen Xuanzang, but he also lost more and won less.

  Bajie thought about what Li Dandao said at the beginning, “do not take the true scriptures in practice”, and passed it on to Chen Xuanzang.

   was refuted: “How do you practice without taking the scriptures?”

   “If you have practiced, you have obtained the scriptures again.”

   “You have obtained the scriptures, but you tell others not to take the scriptures. What is the reason?”

  Monk Bajie’s original idea of ​​going to the West to get the scriptures finally revived.

“Can you be sure that the scriptures in the Western Heaven are the real scriptures? Sakyamuni realized the Tao under the Bodhi tree, where did he get his scriptures? The Buddhist scriptures say that they were taught by the seven ancient Buddhas. ?”

   “Are you comprehended in the heart of the true scriptures? Or is it that any one person comprehends is the true scriptures? Don’t you know whether everyone is the Tathagata who is true or false?”

“All living beings can become Buddhas, they just have the qualifications to become Buddhas, but where is the way to become Buddhas? If you don’t cultivate to become Buddhas? Then why haven’t you become a Buddha? Why haven’t I become a Buddha?” Speechless.

   At the same time, I sincerely want to know an answer. When I go to the West, what I seek is not the scriptures, but the sincerity.

   Li Shimin doesn’t agree, so what are you waiting for his documents?

  Chen Xuanzang plans to leave for the westbound tomorrow. If you wait any longer, I’m afraid it will be difficult to get the monarch who suppressed Buddhism to agree to go west.

  Chen Xuanzang’s intention to travel west has been decided. After careful consideration, the monk Bajie plans to go with him.

   On the second day, Chen Xuanzang prepared his own things and went straight out of Chang’an, with the monk Bajie taking care of him.

   And the monks in Chang’an City heard that Chen Xuanzang was going west to get the scriptures, and they all said that they wanted to join it, and many of them walked around.

  Chen Xuanzang is a famous monk. Since he came out of the Pure Land Temple in Luoyang, he has debated all over the famous monks of the Tang Dynasty. Several Arhats and Bodhisattvas have incarnated to test him, but they cannot stop him, even if he devoured him nine times.

   And Bajie didn’t even want to be the chairperson of Qinglong Temple, and followed Chen Xuanzang all the way west.

   As soon as Chen Xuanzang left Chang’an, Li Shimin knew it very quickly, and he quickly ordered that he should send someone to chase him.

   The second order, the general who guarded the pass, Li Daliang, grabbed the bald head when they saw it, and didn’t give them a chance to leave the pass.

  This monk can go west, but if he is caught by the Turks, he will convince the monks on the Turkic side.

   You must know that Li Shimin now took over the mess at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the mess after the Five Husbands and Huahua. He asked for money but no money, and he asked for food without food. There are even more Hu people than Han people.

  Unfortunately, there were quite a few monks who were captured, but none of them were Chen Xuanzang.

Li Shimin remembered Li Dandao at this time, and called Li Dandao over: “Aiqing, this monk can’t count anymore. Now that the Turks are not settled and the world is not at peace, he thought of running away, and asked Aiqing. Go and bring him back.”

While checking Li Chengqian’s after-school homework, Li Dandao said, “What about when you get him back? Imprison him? Why don’t you just keep one eye, close one eye, let him go, you can keep people, but you can’t keep him. Heart.”

   Li Shimin thought: What I want is his people, why do I want his heart?

   “If it is said that Pindao is the Daozi of this generation of Daomen, he is expected to become a heavenly immortal, then he is the Buddha’s son of Buddhism, and he is expected to become a Buddha.”

  Li Dandao was a little boastful.

   “The Buddha that the people will worship in the future will be the Buddha of the Middle Earth, isn’t that bad?” Li Dandao said, “Buddhism is no longer a nonsense, it is a local Buddhist sect.”

   “He did not follow the same number of paths as I did, but the result was the same.” Li Dandao’s philosophy of opening up the Mahayana Prakyat School of Buddhism is the same as that of Chen Xuanzang.

   “Pin Dao remembers the news that he could live forever by eating Chen Xuanzang’s meat in his early years.”

  Li Dandao opened his mouth and said, “That’s all about the second year of Wude. How many things have happened to an elixir of immortality in the tomb of An Qisheng in the Zhongnan Mountains.”

  Li Shimin shuddered: This man is so vicious. However, he still asked: “I have also heard about that elixir, where is it now?”

   “It’s still in Chen Xuanzang’s belly.” Li Dandao said, “At the beginning, Jingyang County’s surname was Chen, and he gave his daughter to Jinghe Longjun as a concubine, in order to obtain the fortune of Jinghe River, and step forward.”

   “Jinghe Dragon Lord and Fomen colluded with each other and sent Rat Lord to dig holes in the ground to steal elixir.”

“Later, the elixir could not be hidden, and the Taoist and Buddhist people fought on the Weishui River and the Jinghe River. The elixir was hidden in the Chen County Wei’s mansion, and penetrated into the body of the Chen County Wei’s daughter who had already received the dragon essence. The light of blood produced by women has tainted the spiritual energy of the elixir, and cannot be deduced from the real people of Taoism.”

   “Chen Xianwei himself didn’t know about this.” Li Dandao said, “His daughter had a difficult childbirth, blood dripped on the coffin, and she should have died twice.”

  Li Dan said with a sigh: “Thanks to me passing by, my soul came out of my body, and I helped him give birth to a son, that is, Chen Xuanzang.”

   “After giving birth, Xiandan was conceived by the baby’s congenital Qi, and Chen Xuanzang was eaten nine times by Buddhism.”

   “But the elixir is an extraordinary pill. It is difficult to see each other again, but it is more integrated with Chen Xuanzang himself.”

   “After eating for the first time, it will be reborn after seven days, and after eating it for the second time, it will be reborn after forty-nine days, and it will grow faster and faster.”

Li Dandao had completely figured out what happened in the past, and he was not afraid to tell Li Shimin: “The ninth generation is gone, and now it is the tenth generation, but he is a pure yang body of the tenth generation, and the tenth generation is the one who provided monks. Nice guy.”

  Li Dan said with a smile: “In the tenth life today, according to the method of Jiuzhuan Jindan, the great medicine is already old, so his body is mortal, but he has survived.”

   “But the medicinal properties of the elixir are just hidden, but they are still in his body.”
