Chapter 636: The person to take the scriptures has been decided
The Water and Land Conference established by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty has already begun.
All the monks were chanting Buddhist scriptures non-stop, and Tang Taizong felt that there was something strange about this Xuan Tan.
He was called for questioning, and after learning his identity, he became even more curious. Although his life experience was somewhat bumpy, his grandfather and father were great generals and champions of the Tang Dynasty.
Then he asked a few questions again, and Xuan Zhang answered fluently, and his understanding of Buddhism and his perception of Buddhism were even deeper, which made Tang Taizong even more happy.
Then he was asked to gather monks and monks to spread Buddhism in Chang'an.
This Xuan Dan is considered to be the eminent monk who has been appointed to this Water and Land Conference!
In the Huasheng Temple in Chang'an, Xuandan gathered thousands of monks to teach Buddhism.
Taizong of the Tang Dynasty also came to watch and listen from time to time. He could calm down every time he came, which made him extremely happy.
At this moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva was in the Tutu Temple, and soon felt that the opportunity had come.
When I left the Earth Temple, I saw Xuan Dan directly.
Then Guanyin Bodhisattva laughed, and the Buddhist scripture seeker found it.
At this moment, Liu Ming also looked at Xuan Zhang.
All I heard was Liu Ming say: "Haha, congratulations!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva looked back and saw Liu Ming, and said directly: "Humph, you have good eyesight. Why, do you think he can be a Buddhist scripture collector?"
Liu Ming curled his lips and said: "Haha, do you think I have the final say on this matter? If I say he is not good, your Buddhist sect will not use him? Is it possible?"
After hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva sneered and said: "Humph, this is the great calamity of Buddhism. How can we allow you to do this? It's impossible. This Buddhist monk has been looking for this person for many years, and it was also arranged by the Buddhas. You can’t change it for a long time!”
Liu Ming immediately hit back: "Look, it's not over. I said it, forget it, don't say it. Isn't it redundant for you to ask me? Are you asking me just to show that you are extraordinary and have discovered a perfect thing?" If you want to show off your merits, you are wrong because of this kind of thing. You should talk to Duobao and Randen. There is no use talking to me!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva's expression changed, but she soon regained her composure, because she had no advantage in quarreling with Liu Ming and could not win.
I can only feel sulky.
The Guanyin Bodhisattva stopped talking to Liu Ming and looked directly at Xuan Dan again.
After waiting for Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty to leave, Guanyin Bodhisattva also left with Mu Zha.
Liu Ming did not follow him this time. He already knew that the person who wanted to learn the scriptures this time was the Tang Monk who kept chattering about it later!
And Guanyin Bodhisattva and Muzha came to the world and directly transformed into two ugly monks, holding two of the three treasures given by Tathagata Buddha, two brocade cassocks and a tin staff!
Also because the purpose was to give it to Xuan Zhang, the Guanyin Bodhisattva paid a very high price, which directly turned away many people's thoughts. In the end, she actually gave it to Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty for nothing.
This made Emperor Taizong a little surprised, thinking that Guanyin Bodhisattva was intimidated by his status as emperor.
But Guanyin Bodhisattva directly said that he wanted to give it to Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Because she was also a Buddhist, she naturally admired Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty for his ability to spread Buddhism.
In this way, Tang Taizong did not refuse and accepted it directly.
The change of hands was given to Xuan Tan.
The next day, Xuan Dan preached again in his cassock. Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at it and nodded. That's right, he was really the reincarnation of the Buddha Jin Chan.
He happened to be the person she was looking for, and then his true form was directly revealed.
Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared, which shocked Emperor Taizong and others.
Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at the crowd and said softly: "Nowadays, the world's belief in Buddhism is a sign of the great prosperity of Buddhism. But now you believe in Hinayana Buddhism, which can only save the dead and ascend to heaven. I have the Tripitaka of Mahayana Buddhism, which can save the dead." After being freed from the sea of suffering, you can still practice Yangshou and your physical body will not be damaged!"
After Guanyin Bodhisattva finished speaking, Xuan Zhang's eyes showed a gleam of curiosity, and upon hearing this, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty said directly: "Guanyin Bodhisattva, save the suffering, where can you find the Tripitaka of Buddhism you mentioned?"
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said: "In the Great Thunder Sound Temple in the Western Tianzhu Kingdom, I, the Buddha Tathagata, can resolve hundreds of grievances and eliminate all disasters!"
When Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty heard this, he wanted to get this Buddhist scripture.
Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at the believers below and directly explained the Mahayana Buddhism. Everyone was intoxicated and immersed in it.
After Guanyin finished speaking, she disappeared directly.
This left everyone a bit unsatisfied.
Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty ordered painters to draw portraits of Guanyin Bodhisattva for people to pay homage to!
After Guanyin Bodhisattva left, a sentence fell from the sky.
"The wonderful scriptures of the West are the Mahayana. They are thousands of miles away from each other. If you come back from the scriptures, you can carry them forward and protect the world. Those who are willing to go will definitely achieve righteous results!"
When everyone heard this, they were a little excited, but after calming down, they thought that 90% of them would give up.
Because it’s a thousand miles away!
I'm afraid I'll die on the road before I go!
In addition, no one knows what the outside world is like. This is not to learn from others, but to die!
I'm afraid I'm lucky enough to go there, but not happy enough to enjoy it!
Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty asked directly: "Who wants to go and get Buddhist scriptures and come back?"
Now there was no answer. They were all looking at each other, not daring to speak. Only one person stepped out.
That's Xuan Tan.
I saw Xuan Dan saying: "Your Majesty, this poor monk is willing to go! Get the scriptures and protect our Tang Dynasty and the people of Li!"
When Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty heard this, his face lit up. Sure enough, he had to rely on this mage at critical moments!
Others can't do it. Look, they are all shrinking. How can it be a big deal?
Tang Taizong asked again: "Are you sure you want to go? You know how far it is and how dangerous the journey is. After all, we are not the Tang Dynasty outside!"
Xuan Dan nodded and said: "Yes, in order to seek the true scriptures, the poor monk will not be afraid even if his body is broken into pieces, he will only protect the world for the sake of Buddhism!"
When Tang Taizong heard this, he was a little moved!
This is such a good person!
He is really an eminent monk, an eminent monk, doing everything for himself, the Tang Dynasty, and for the people!
Then, he actually took Xuan Zhang's hand and said, "How can I not express your gratitude to you for being so brave? You are not afraid of bad roads, you climb mountains and wade, you are truly loyal and kind, I will become your brother today. You are my brother!"
After Tang Taizong finished speaking, everyone was a little surprised, but it was balanced when they thought that Xuan Dan was going to get Buddhist scriptures. If he dared to go, he would naturally be able to enjoy this treatment!
