100, I, Tang San, buried in the west to learn scriptures, and returned to heaven(1/2)
Li Shimin has entered the Netherworld once and is fully aware of the horror within it.
Just listening to what Avalokitesvara says is the door to righteousness and goodness, accumulating immeasurable merits, and not falling into Avici Hell after death, makes my heart beat wildly!
When the seven-colored auspicious clouds in the main hall receded, Guanyin and Samantabhadra left.
Li Shimin looked at Chen Jiangliu who was sneaking away.
"Just now Guanyin Bodhisattva said that there is a Tripitaka of Sutras in the West. We, the Tang Dynasty in the East, can send people to get the sutras. What do you think, dear friends?"
"Your Majesty, this is a great kindness!"
"It is truly the door to righteousness and goodness!" All the civil and military officials in the palace spoke out.
Li Shimin smiled and nodded, "Okay, the matter of learning the scriptures has been decided."
"Let's discuss now who should go to get the scriptures."
"Your Majesty, Guanyin Bodhisattva has just made it clear that a person wearing a brocade cassock and holding a nine-xi Zen staff is the most suitable." After the officials in the court finished speaking, they all looked at Chen Jiangliu in unison.
Chen Jiangliu was blocked by Cheng Yaojin, and his face suddenly showed a sad look, "I...I don't want to go."
The abbot of Jinshan Temple on the side held Chen Jiangliu tightly, with a caring look like an old father's, "Jiang Liu, there is no one more suitable than you."
"I dont go!"
Just kidding! Chen Jiangliu is a king in Chang'an. He is proficient in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. Isn't it good to enjoy the happiness? Why do you have to travel thousands of miles to suffer?
I, Chen Jiangliu, will never suffer anything!
The abbot of Jinshan Temple took Chen Jiangliu's hand, with a look of anticipation and hope on his face, "Son, go ahead, this is a good thing, practice the golden body and attain the righteous fruition."
"I really don't want to go. Whoever likes to wear this cassock can wear it."
Chen Jiangliu said and began to take off his cassock.
At this time, the civil and military officials in the DPRK immediately began to persuade Chen Jiangliu, "You are still young. You have suffered for a few years. It is nothing. You will be back soon. There is no big danger on the road."
"I don't want to suffer for a day." Chen Jiangliu decisively refused.
In the main hall, Li Shimin also had a headache when he saw this scene, and immediately began to offer benefits, "Go ahead, I will confer you the title of the first monk and mage in the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time recognize you as my imperial disciple, and your parents will be promoted."
"Why do I always have tears in my eyes? It's because I love the land of Chang'an so deeply that I won't go."
Chen Jiangliu didn't want to go, and the six-winged golden cicada in the Sea of Consciousness didn't want to go either. Where was Lingshan? At the Buddhist Wolf's Nest Base Camp, he had finally recovered his true spirit. Wouldn't this past be like a sheep sending a tiger into the mouth?
"I can't go. I am the only father. I want to pass on the incense to the Chen family!"
No matter how nice it is, I won't go.
Li Shimin and the civil and military officials of the DPRK and China tried to persuade him for a long time, but to no avail. Chen Jiangliu was as smelly and hard as a stone in a latrine.
Having no other choice, Li Shimin summoned Chen Jiangliu's father, Chen Guangrui.
Chen Guangrui held Chen Jiangliu's hand eagerly and said seriously: "Son, go ahead. Your mother and I are still young. We will have two more children next year...or not this year. You don't have to worry about the incense."
"Dad, what a trap!"
"Children must be filial and loyal, and those who practice Buddhism are not allowed to do so."
Chen Jiangliu must not go unless he dies!
Chen Guangrui couldn't do anything about this big boy for a while.
Wei Shuyu stood quietly in the main hall, watching this dramatic scene with a smile. It seemed that it was a wonderful stroke to awaken the true spirit of the six-winged golden cicada.
This golden cicada is really crooked!
Li Shimin had a headache. He looked at Wei Shuyu and his meaning was clear, "Shuyu, please advise Jin Chanzi for me."
Wei Shuyu nodded and walked to Chen Jiangliu.
When Chen Jiangliu saw Uncle Wei approaching, he covered his face as if facing a formidable enemy, "Uncle, what do you want to do? Even if you keep rubbing and pinching, I won't go!"
Wei Shuyu chuckled lightly, leaned over Chen Jiangliu's ear, and started talking in a low voice.
Chen Jiangliu's face was originally full of resistance, but after listening to Wei Shuyu's words, his eyes slowly shone with light, and his body trembled a little in disbelief, "Uncle, you didn't lie to me, did you?"
"How could uncle lie to his nephew?"
"Okay, I'll go!"
On the throne, Li Shimin saw Wei Shuyu persuade Chen Jiangliu with just a few words, and couldn't help but smile on his face, "Okay, okay!"
"Today I will give Master Jiangliu the title of Tripitaka, Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty!"
"From now on, he will be my imperial brother who will go to the West to retrieve the true scriptures on my behalf."
Under the main hall, Chen Jiangliu showed a fearless expression on his face, "Who else would you rather me to learn from the great plan? I'm going!"
"Tang San Burial? Burial Heaven, Burial Ground, Burial Buddha, it's a good name!" Chen Jiangliu liked the name Tang San Burial very much.
The abbot of Jinshan Temple happily led Jiang Liu'er back to Jinshan Temple, preparing to go to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
The civil and military officials of the court and Li Shimin all had curiosity on their faces. What did Wei Shuyu say to Chen Jiangliu that caused his attitude to suddenly change?
Wei Shuyu smiled mysteriously, "It's natural to learn with reason and move with emotion."
Of course Wei Shuyu deceived all civil and military officials!
If you want to trick Chen Jiangliu into seeking Buddhist scriptures, you will naturally have to do what he likes.
What does Chen Jiangliu like most? Eating, drinking, whoring and gambling!
Wei Shuyu said that on the journey to the west, there were countless delicacies, such as monkey mushrooms, stewed pig brains, sharks, black-bone chicken, braised lion heads, ivory orangutan lips, etc.
There are also countless beauties on the way to seek scriptures, who are good at singing and dancing, and have exotic customs...
There is also a country called Gambling City on the way to seek Buddhist scriptures. There is a God of Gamblers and a Saint of Gamblers...
Wei Shuyu least wanted Chen Jiangliu to go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, but... Guanyin and Samantabhadra have appeared. Although Chen Jiangliu has a tough attitude, he will go in the end!
Moreover, Wei Shuyu had made arrangements in advance for traveling to the Nine Kingdoms in the West. He wanted to participate in the Buddhist scriptures and share the luck of the Buddhist scriptures, so he was not afraid of Chen Jiangliu going to the Buddhist scriptures!
The calamity is surging, the journey to the west has begun and the calamity has begun, and it has to continue!
Traveling to the west to learn scriptures is an established trend, and even the saints cannot forcefully interfere!
It is better to block than to open up!
Just like that, the plan for traveling to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures has been finalized.
Half a month passed, and Chen Jiangliu had no intention of leaving.
After all, Chen Jiangliu has too many younger brothers, and he has to eat a lot of food, and there are countless confidantes, so he has to say goodbye properly and make out before leaving...
Finally one month later.
Chen Jiangliu was getting ready to set off.
Outside Chang'an City.
Li Shimin said goodbye to Chen Jiangliu, poured him a glass of wine, and sprinkled the wine with soil from his hometown.
"Bah, bah, bah." After Chen Jiangliu drank the wine, he kept spitting out the mud in his mouth.
"Okay, Your Majesty, Dad, Mom, don't send me off. I'm leaving. There are so many beauties waiting for me along the way..."
"Okay, no more words, I'm leaving." Chen Jiangliu turned over and mounted the white horse, and was about to leave.
Wei Shuyu was wearing bright silver and white armor, riding a sweaty horse, and came at a gallop, "Nephew, it's better for me to see you off, and see you out of the Tang Dynasty."
"Uncle, no need."
"It's useful."
"Uncle, there's really no need for that."
“It really works!”
In this way, the two chased out of Chang'an.
And from the moment Chen Jiangliu stepped out of Chang'an, there was a muffled sound throughout the Three Realms.
The calm calamity aura became turbulent, and the heavenly secrets became more obscure and completely unpredictable.
The expressions of all the immortals and saints were shocked, and they all knew that a new calamity was coming...
Above the sea of clouds in the sky.
Guanyin and Manjusri finally breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts when they saw Jiang Liu'er stepping onto the Buddhist scriptures, "You can go back to Lingshan to report to the Buddha."
West, Lingshan, Daleiyin Temple.
The three Bodhisattvas Guanyin, Manjusri, and Lingji reported to Tathagata Buddha that the golden cicada had left Chang'an.
The Tathagata Buddha sat on the golden lotus of nine grades of merit and nodded, "The journey to the west has begun. There will be disasters on the way, so no mistakes can be made."
"Yes, please obey the instructions of my Buddha Tathagata!"
"Have you ever found the little white dragon?"
"The Yingchou Stream is now empty. With Jin Chanzi's ordinary horse's foot power, he can't reach Lingshan Mountain."
Guanyin Bodhisattva showed a hint of fear on his face, "The young monk will step up his efforts to trace the whereabouts of the little white dragon, and he will definitely find the little white dragon before the golden cicada arrives at Yingchou Stream!"
To be continued...
