99, water and land ceremony, brocade cassock, nine-tin Zen staff(1/2)
Wei Shuyu met with the abbot of Jinshan Temple and explained that His Majesty allowed the monks from Jinshan Temple to enter the palace to preside over the land and water Dharma assembly.
When the abbot of Jinshan Temple heard this, he was overjoyed. If Buddhism enters the palace and satisfies His Majesty, it will further consolidate the foundation of Buddhism.
"Duke Protector, I think Jiang Liu'er can enter the palace and preside over the water and land ceremony."
"Jiang Liu'er? Chen Guangrui, Brother Chen's son, Chen Jiangliu?"
"Yes, exactly!"
"Although Jiang Liu'er is still young, his Buddhist attainments have surpassed those of all the monks in the temple." Although the abbot of Jinshan Temple was troubled by Jiang Liu'er's ruffian spirit, he had to admit that his Buddhist nature and Buddhist attainments were the highest in the Tang Dynasty!
"Okay, let Jiang Liu'er take charge."
"Please wait a moment, Lord Protector. I will call Jiang Liu'er right now."
The abbot of Jinshan Temple ordered the novice monk to go find Jiang Liuer.
Not long after, the novice monk came over in a hurry and said, "Abbott, Senior Brother Jiangliu is not in the meditation room..."
"What about the main hall?"
"Not in the main hall either."
"Look for it everywhere in the temple, or go to the back mountain."
Jinshan Temple dispatched dozens of novice monks before finally finding Jiang Liuer in the back mountain.
Jiang Liuer was hugging a tree and refused to let go. Apparently... he was afraid of someone.
Wei Shuyu walked to the back mountain with a smile, and saw Jiang Liu'er hugging the tree and refusing to let go, "Good nephew, I haven't seen you for a long time, but do you still remember your uncle?"
Chen Jiangliu's expression suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "Uncle...Uncle Wei."
"My dear nephew, come to my uncle and let him see the changes over the years."
Chen Jiangliu swallowed hard, carefully let go of the tree, and walked slowly to Wei Shuyu reluctantly.
Wei Shuyu looked at the sixteen or seventeen-year-old little Tang Seng in front of him. He had to say that he had perfectly inherited his father's handsome appearance, and even looked better than his predecessor!
What a good person!
Wei Shuyu looked at the cautious Chen Jiangliu and couldn't help but think of the bad taste ten years ago. He stretched out his hands again and ravaged the little Tang Monk's face.
"Mad! I knew it!"
"Ah! Ah!"
"Dad, come and save me!"
The little Tang Monk shouted loudly in his heart and moved backward to avoid Wei Shuyu's facial pinching power.
When I was a kid, I couldn't escape it, but now it's completely different!
Just when the little Tang Monk was about to hide, Wei Shuyu leaned over to his ear and whispered: "According to His Majesty's decree, a strict investigation of eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling will be carried out in Chang'an for a period of three months. Is that Zhang San your subordinate?"
"He is not very strict with his words. He confessed to you in just two or three sentences."
Wei Shuyu looked at the little Tang Monk with a wicked smile, "You don't want your parents to go to jail to get you, right?"
Sure enough, when Chen Jiangliu heard this, his body couldn't help but stagnate, and he didn't dare to retreat at all, "...Damn it!"
Chen Jiangliu could only let Wei Shuyu pinch his face!
"I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still so cute. Brother Chen gave birth to a good son."
After a long time.
Wei Shuyu walked in front, and Chen Jiangliu followed behind. He covered his face with his hands and looked extremely ugly, "One day, you will no longer be able to squeeze me!"
After Wei Shuyu found Chen Jiangliu, Jinshan Temple became busy.
The abbot of Jinshan Temple, together with a group of old monks, began to prepare the necessary instruments, incense, etc. for the Water and Land Dharma Ceremony.
At noon, fifty or sixty old monks and more than a hundred middle-aged monks entered the palace.
Chen Jiangliu even put on a brand new monk's robe, bright red.
The appearance of the young Tang Monk appeared vividly on the page.
By evening, Sanskrit sounds and incense were beginning to sound from everywhere in the palace.
Chen Jiangliu presided over the Water and Land Dharma Assembly, and his Buddhist practice was quite high. He could rescue people during the day and ghosts at night.
Above the nine heavens.
Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and Lingji Bodhisattva were still watching. Seeing Jin Chanzi's extremely high attainments in Buddhism and the light of Buddha nature shining all over his body, they finally nodded with confidence.
"Only after the water and land ceremony is over, Emperor Tang will confer the title!"
…
Chang'an Chamber of Commerce Headquarters.
Wei Shuyu knew that when Jin Chanzi presided over the Water and Land Dharma Assembly in the palace, Buddhists would be watching him, and he would have no chance to act, so he left the palace.
Invite old friends to a banquet at the Chamber of Commerce headquarters.
Qin Huaidao said that Fang Yiai did not go to Anping, but coordinated and managed the Chamber of Commerce in Chang'an, allowing fresh blood to flow through the Tang Dynasty and then gather throughout the country.
The cultivation of the two has not fallen behind, each has its own inheritance, and now they are in the middle stage of True Immortal Realm!
Compared to Cheng Chumo, who was practicing immortality and martial arts in Anping Prefecture, his progress was slightly faster, and he is now in the Mysterious Immortal Realm!
At a dinner party, we did not talk about the affairs of the gods and saints, but more about ordinary family matters.
In the evening, Wei Shuyu and Wu Meiniang were walking side by side on Chang'an Avenue.
The brightly lit and bustling Chang'an Night Market has just begun.
The traders and literati who came and went all enjoyed the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
Everything looks prosperous and beautiful.
But Wei Shuyu clearly felt that behind this beauty, a looming aura of calamity was clearly surging.
The moment Jin Chanzi entered the palace, the aura of calamity surged.
Time flies, and eighty-one days have passed in the blink of an eye.
The water and land ceremony in the Royal Palace has lasted for eighty-one days and has finally come to an end.
Li Shimin is no longer harassed by ghosts, and he has regained his energy and is full of energy.
Day 82, morning.
Civil and military officials lined both sides of the hall.
The abbot of Jinshan Temple and Chen Jiangliu were also in the main hall, waiting for the reward.
Li Shimin was in a very good mood and was ready to confer Chen Jiangliu the title of mage of Jinshan Temple.
Obviously, even if Chen Jiangliu completed the eighty-one-day water and land ceremony, it was not that important in Li Shimin's heart!
After all, it was Wei Shuyu who accompanied him into the underworld to solve the ghost troubles!
And just when Li Shimin was about to seal Chen Jiangliu, there was a burst of shouting outside the palace.
"Selling cassocks and Zen sticks."
"I'm selling my cassock and my Zen staff."
Wei Shuyu stood in line with the Duke, listening to the cries outside the palace, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "You really have no brains."
"If you are still teaching Dharma at Huasheng Temple in Chang'an, you can sell your cassocks and Zen sticks, but this is an imperial palace!"
"The imperial city of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty was so heavily guarded that even a wild mosquito flying in would be subject to interrogation. You actually sold your cassocks to the palace? What a nonsense!"
On the throne, Li Shimin couldn't help but frown.
Below, the abbot of Jinshan Temple was sweating heavily on his forehead, "Which monk is this from, and he sneaked into the palace?"
When Cheng Yaojin heard this, his face showed anger, and he shouted, "Who is guarding the palace gate? How dare this guy neglect his duty like this?"
"Your Majesty, it's... Mr. Chu Mo."
Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened, then he stepped back and waved his hand, "That's okay."
Seeing this, all the officials in the court shook their heads helplessly and smiled, "Cheng Yaojin, this old rogue!"
"Kasayas are for sale, and Zen rods are for sale." The cries kept coming.
Li Shimin suppressed his anger and ordered: "Bring the people who sell cassocks to the palace. I want to see what kind of cassocks they sell and they actually sell them to the palace!"
Not long after, the imperial guards brought two monks, one old and one young.
An old monk and a young monk walked to the main hall, their faces extremely calm and without any fear.
Wei Shuyu secretly operated the human race's heavenly eyes, and his eyes were covered with a layer of golden light.
There is a layer of faint Brahma light on the bodies of an old and a young monk, "Guanyin... Manjusri Bodhisattva!"
Jin Chanzi sensed a familiar aura in the deepest part of the sea of consciousness, and Zhenling slowly opened his eyes, "Mader, it's this guy who is neither male nor female again."
Li Shimin sat on the throne, staring at the old and young monks with flat eyes, and said: "What kind of cassock are you selling? How much does it cost?"
