Seeing the old monk questioning, Master Xuanzang was taken aback, hurriedly jumped off the high platform and bowed, and said, "Master, in the past, the teachers taught by the master and the scholars of the monks of the Tang Dynasty were all Hinayana Buddhism, but I don't know how the Mahayana Buddhism of the master is?"

At this time, seeing that his Buddha would be disturbed, Li Shimin also recognized who it was, so he said: "Are you the leper monk who gave him a robe two days ago?"

"Exactly!"

The old monk didn't salute either, just said.

"Monk I asked you, since you have come to listen to the Fa, then you can eat some fasting here at will. ”

Li Shimin said unhappily: "But why do you want to talk nonsense with the Master, disturbing the Buddha will mislead me about the Buddha?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know, your master can only talk about Hinayana Buddhism, and he can't prevent the dead from ascending to heaven. ”

The old monk laughed, shook his head and said with a smile: "I have the Mahayana Sutra Sanzang, which is the way to cultivate the truth, the door of righteousness and goodness, one can save the dead from ascending to heaven, the second can persuade the world to be good, and the third can make sentient beings get rid of suffering." ”

"Oh?"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was overjoyed: "Where is your Mahayana scripture now?"

The old monk said: "In the West Heaven Da Lei Yin Temple, my Buddha is like a place to come." ”

Li Shimin hurriedly said: "Then monk, do you know how to talk about Mahayana Buddhism?"

"Talk, talk!"

The old monk smiled slightly, and suddenly his whole body flashed, and he and Mu Zha showed his true body, holding the willow jade bottle in his hand, and took off the ground to ride the clouds into the sky.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin was taken aback, and hurriedly got up and bowed his hands, and all the ministers of civil and military affairs, the people, and the monks in the temple all knelt on the ground to burn incense and worship sincerely.

However, there was only one person here, and he was indifferent to the appearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva, just sitting motionless on the chair.

At the time of worship, Li Shimin had already ordered those who were good at Danqing to depict the true image of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the depicter was Wu Daozi, who was later known as the painting saint.

Soon Guanyin's auspicious clouds were far away, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little lost when they saw the Bodhisattva leaving, only Mu Changsheng saw that Guanyin did not go, but stayed in the sky and disappeared.

After all, learning from the scriptures is extremely important, and the people who learn the scriptures have not yet been decided, how can she dare to go with confidence?

At this time, a post fell in mid-air, and a few verses of praise were written on it, saying:

On the ceremony, the Tang Dynasty, there is a wonderful text in the West.

The journey is 108,000 miles, and the Mahayana is diligent.

This scripture returns to the kingdom and can surpass the ghosts.

If there are those who are willing to go, seek the golden body of righteousness.

Li Shimin saw the words on the sticker, and knew that Hinayana Buddhism could not prevent the dead from ascending to heaven, so he ordered someone to accept the Buddha on the spot, saying that he would reopen the Buddha meeting after taking the Mahayana Buddhism.

Then he asked more than 1,000 monks in the temple and said, "Which monk is willing to go to the West Heaven to worship the Buddha and learn scriptures for me?"

Before Li Shimin's words fell, Xuanzang immediately flashed beside him, knelt down and said: "The poor monk is not talented, I am willing to follow the work of dogs and horses, seek the truth for Your Majesty, and ensure that my king Datang is forever." ”

"Good!"

Li Shimin was overjoyed and helped Xuanzang and said, "If the master can have this heart, I am willing to become a brother with you." ”

Then the two went to the Buddha in the temple to worship four times, and since then they have been commensurate with Xuanzang as a royal brother.

Mu Changsheng didn't say anything about this, but he was a little disdainful of Xuanzang's diligence in his heart, and he could see that Xuanzang was not going, but rushing to go!

And the reason why he rushed to go, it is estimated that the person who learned the scriptures from the Guanyin post could not get rid of the condition of getting the golden body, and he was afraid that others would rob him, so he came to a building near the water to get the moon first, and Li Shimin hurriedly expressed his loyalty and diligence before he finished speaking.

But since he is here this time, he naturally won't let such a good thing be left to him.

"Your Majesty, Poor Dao has something to say. ”

Seeing that the two worshipped their brothers, Tang Seng swore that he must take the true scriptures, otherwise he would rather die than go back to hell forever, and when Li Shimin was moved, Mu Changsheng's words immediately destroyed the atmosphere without a trace.

Li Shimin was surprised: "Does the national teacher have anything to say?"

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes: This soldier is a taboo for soldiers, and a two-pronged approach is the way to win, and the Bodhisattva said on the sticker, Datang is 108,000 miles away from the western sky. ”

Shepherd Changsheng said: And as far as the poor Dao knows, there is nothing terrible about the long way to the west, but it takes some foot effort, the terrible thing is that there are countless demons and monsters along the way, they kill people without blinking, eat people without spitting out bones, eat people like we eat chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, and the mage's skin and meat are their favorite, this is ......"

Speaking of this, Mu Changsheng did not continue, but shook his head with a disoptimistic face.

"What?"

Hearing Mu Changsheng's words, Xuanzang's face turned white on the spot, and the joy of worshipping Li Shimin was suddenly washed away, and his heart was half cold.

"Huh?"

Li Shimin was also taken aback, looked at Xuanzang, whose face was pale and a cold sweat was faintly breaking out on his head, frowned and groaned for a moment.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he stared at Mu Changsheng, and said, "Since the national teacher said so, then he must have thought of a countermeasure, and asked the national teacher to teach me how to solve the problem?"

"Your Majesty, Lao Dao just said. ”

Mu Changsheng said with a smile: "A two-pronged approach is the way to win." ”

Li Shimin groaned: "Two-pronged, how to do both?"

"Your Majesty, let Liuning not be hurt on the spot, and now is the time to come in handy. ”

Mu Changsheng said: "Although he committed a capital crime, but his skills are not weak, now you can call him a monk, and Master Xuanzang has gone to the West Heaven to get the true scriptures to atone for his sins, if it becomes my Tang Dynasty's luck, if he dies, the heavens will kill him, then it is no wonder Your Majesty." ”

"Rather no injury, yes, rather no injury......"

Li Shimin turned his worries into joy, stroked his palms and smiled: "His swordsmanship and martial arts are superb, he happens to go on this trip, if he really succeeds, I will not only pardon him for his innocence, but also seal him for great merit." ”

Mu Changsheng smiled: "That's right. ”

"Just ......"

Li Shimin hesitated: "Will he agree?"

"He didn't have a choice. ”

The pastor said: "Your Majesty, Lao Dao is willing to go to the heavenly prison, and he will definitely teach him to help His Majesty learn scriptures from the West." ”

"Okay, then there will be Lao Guoshi. ”

Li Shimin was overjoyed: "Come here, take the national teacher to the prison." ”

"The old way quit. ”

The shepherd turned and retreated, following a leader who led the way to the prison.

"Master, it's not good, things have changed. ”

Mu Zha in the sky was surprised and said: "That demon Dao didn't have a good heart, and now he actually wants King Tang to add one more scripture learner." ”

"Don't be busy, let's see what kind of fame he wants to make, maybe he really just wants to do both. ”

Guanyin said, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "But if he really wants to sabotage our big things, then there are a lot of monsters on the way to the west, and just arrange a vicious monster to eat his people, won't it be fine?"

"That's right!"

Mu Zha suddenly realized and sneered: "There is really a lack of everything along the way, that is, there is no shortage of monsters." ”
