Angry Guanyin!
In the study of the Imperial Palace of the Great Tang.
Wei Zheng took a step forward and attracted everyone's attention. After all, Wei Zheng's identity was not a secret, so everyone was waiting for his answer.
Wei Zheng first bowed slightly to Li Shimin and then said,"Your Majesty, I believe that the warning left behind by the immortal should be referring to the Buddhist Sect!”
Everyone present was not a fool. After Wei Zheng's reminder, they instantly understood and said.
"Your Majesty, Lord Wei is right. Buddhism advocates entering the empty door and drawing a clear line with the mortal world. If the common people become monks one after another, without the help of the outside world, the human race will almost fall into the crisis of extinction!”
"Your Majesty, we don't dare to guess what that Exalted Immortal means, but the threat of the Buddhist Sect is already in front of us. Please give the order to limit the development of the Buddhist Sect!”
"Your Majesty, the monks of the Buddhist League do not engage in production or pay taxes. If there are too many monks, it will be an extremely heavy burden for the Great Tang!”
"Your Majesty, the Buddhist Sect."
For a time, everyone talked about the shortcomings of Buddhism. However, they did not make up stories about Buddhism. After all, what they said was the truth. In the past dynasties and generations, when there was turmoil in the country, the figure of Buddhism could be seen. On the contrary, when the world was peaceful, Buddhist monks could be seen everywhere preaching Buddhism and confusing the people!
The so-called 'sealing the mountain to cultivate in troubled times and saving all living beings in prosperous times' was referring to Buddhist disciples!
Li Shiming knew that there were some problems in the Buddhist Sect, but he had never imagined that they would be so serious. He began to calculate that he had to suppress the prosperity of the Buddhist Sect. Otherwise, if this continued, who would have the final say in the Great Tang?
"Pass down the order to confer Taoism as the national religion of the Great Tang. All monks cultivating in the temple must be registered. We want to know exactly how many monks there are in the Great Tang within a month!”After a while, Li Shi Min spoke with an unprecedentedly serious tone.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling and the others hurriedly replied.
The next day, Guan Yin, who had received the Dharmic decree of Rulai, silently came to the Tang Empire. However, she did not go to Chang 'an. Instead, she transformed into an old monk and went straight to Tang Sanzang.
"Then monk, what scripture are you chanting?”In a temple, the old monk looked at Tang Sanzang and asked.
"Venerable One, this little monk is reciting the Guanyin Heart Sutra!”Tang Sanzang put his palms together and said to the old monk.
"Oh, then are you proficient in Buddhism?”the old monk said again.
"Disciple does not dare to claim to be proficient in Buddhism, but disciple grew up in a temple since childhood and does have some understanding of Buddhism!”Tang Sanzang replied.
"Is that so?" The old monk smiled faintly." Then do you know about the Mahayana Buddhism?”
Tang Sanzang was shocked and looked at the old monk in a daze. The entire Tang Empire practiced the Hinayana Buddhism. Where did the Mahayana Buddhism come from?
"May I ask Venerable One, where can I learn Mahayana Buddhism?”Tang Sanzang looked at the old monk and asked hurriedly.
The old monk did not answer Tang Sanzang directly. Instead, he pointed in the direction of the Spirited Mountain and said,""Starting from the Great Tang and heading west, at the end of the Western Paradise, is the origin of Buddhism, Mount Numinous. On Mount Numinous, there is the Mahayana Buddhism that can save all living beings!”
As he spoke, the old monk slowly floated up. His body emitted a dazzling golden light, revealing his true form. He stood on the lotus throne and looked down at Tang Sanzang.
"Disciple Xuanzang greets Guanyin!”Tang Sanzang saw that the person in front of him was the Bodhisattva he worshipped every day, so he hurriedly lowered his head and bowed.
"Sanzang, you are born with the heart of Buddha and you have great perseverance. Are you willing to go to the Western Heaven and bring the Mahayana Buddhism back to the Tang of the East?”Guan Yin asked.
"Disciple is willing!" Tang Sanzang replied. He was obsessed with the true meaning of Buddhism and did not hesitate at all.
"Very well. This journey is long and will pass through many countries. Before you set off, you need to find the Human Emperor of your Great Tang and obtain the clearance document from him!”"Once you've obtained the clearance documents, you can set off!" Guan Yin instructed.”
After Guan Yin finished speaking, she urged the lotus throne and flew toward the horizon, leaving Tang Sanzang alone in the same place. He kept thinking about how to meet the Human Emperor of Tang and obtain the clearance document.
As for Guan Yin, after she flew far away from Tang Sanzang, she stabilized herself in the air and looked at a certain place in the air. She said,"Benefactor, you've been following This Penniless Monk all the way. Why don't you show yourself?”
"Impressive, you are indeed the disciple of Primordial Uncle. I hid so well, but you still found me!”Bai Chen directly walked out from the void. Behind him, He Shu and Luotu floated quietly in midair.
A strange look flashed across Guan Yin's eyes. When she was talking with Tang Sanzang, she had already sensed something was wrong. Therefore, she only exchanged a few words before turning around and leaving. She did not even give the treasure that Buddha had given her to Tang Sanzang.
After leaving Tang Sanzang, Guan Yin specially found this place with no one, wanting to find the person who was following her. It was just that she did not expect that the person in the dark would be Bai Chen. For a moment, she could not help but be vigilant.
"Amitabha, so it's the Vice Sect Master of Jie School. However, This Penniless Monk is not a disciple of a Saint, but a Buddhist cultivator from Spirit Mountain!”Hearing Bai Chen's words, Guan Yin was somewhat angry in his heart. The higher his cultivation, the more he valued his face. He had long left Chan School, but now, he was brought up by Bai Chen again, deliberately embarrassing him.
"Is that so?" Bai Chen said thoughtfully," But Master once told me that your Master is my Second Martial Uncle. Could it be that Master said wrongly?”
Guan Yin was furious. How was she supposed to answer these words? If she admitted that she was still a disciple of Chan School, how would the entire Spirit Mountain view her? However, if she said that Sect Leader Tongtian was wrong, all the disciples of Jie School would think that she was provoking Sect Leader Tongtian. She was afraid that she would not have peace in the future!
Guan Yin's face was livid. Helplessly, she had to change the topic." May I know why you're looking for me?”
"I'm fine!" Bai Chen spread his hands and continued," My hometown is in the Great Tang. I suddenly sensed that a powerful aura appeared in the Great Tang. Out of curiosity, I specially came to take a look!”
Guan Yin looked at Bai Chen once again and saw his innocent appearance as if he was not lying. It was just that he was still skeptical in his heart and said,"Since Fellow Daoist has nothing else to say, this poor monk will take his leave first!”
Bai Chen shrugged his shoulders and watched as Guan Yin turned around and prepared to leave. He muttered softly," Master even said that Guan Yin is a man. But no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it. Could it be that Master was wrong again?”
Bai Chen's voice was very soft, but besides him and Guan Yin, there was no one else here. And Guan Yin also had peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal cultivation. She naturally heard every single word of Bai Chen's words.
Guan Yin clenched her silver teeth tightly. The Pristine Jade Bottle in her hand was almost shattered by her grip. The fury in her heart was about to materialize, and killing intent flashed in her eyes. It was just that considering Bai Chen's identity, she had no choice but to suppress her emotions and quickly leave this place.
And after Guan Yin left, Bai Chen's expression also slowly turned cold. Looking in the direction Guan Yin left, a trace of a cold smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. Regarding Guan Yin's reaction, Bai Chen had long expected it and was not worried about his safety in the slightest.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a huge explosion erupted in the direction where Guan Yin had left, as if someone was venting their anger!
"You're really impatient, Guan Yin!”Bai Chen shook his head and muttered in a low voice,""But you have to learn to adapt. There's still a long way to go. The game has begun!”
