Chapter 1,293 Xuanzangs great courage and great sacrifice!
"Namo Chan Tan Merit Buddha!"
In the world of Water Margin, Li Yan understood the concept of the Victorious Buddha and the Sandalwood Merit Buddha from the Buddha statues in the Daxiangguo Temple. Later, he used the method of the Sandalwood Merit Buddha to save the soul of the dead woman who was killed by his young master's family, and received merit from heaven and earth.
It is not yet known whether there is one Buddha in different worlds, but they are more or less related to each other.
Coupled with the fact that Li Yan is approaching the cultivation state of the eighth consciousness, the feeling at this time cannot be wrong.
That was the concern of Xuanzang, the previous sutra collector, Master Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty, and the now missing Zhan Tan Merit Buddha.
But Xuanzang's vague aura was very strange.
It's neither malicious nor kind.
It seems to be a deserted overlook, just like the heaven and earth are eternal and unchanged.
"Could it be..."
Li Yan frowned, made a guess, and began to change his approach, using his own merit to contact him.
Sure enough, the originally ethereal aura suddenly became solid, and this merit gave rise to a feeling of returning to the source.
Li Yan suddenly understood and nodded secretly: "The heaven and earth have changed, but the merits remain the same, but it is the credit of this man. The Tantan Merit Buddha is worthy of his name!"
According to the Spiritual Tribe, the current chaos, turbidity and filthiness of the world is not abnormal, but because the "ancestor" is the spiritual spirit of the heaven and earth before Pangu created the world. With its awakening, the heaven and earth return to their original turbidity, which is certainly not suitable for the Pangu ethnic group.
living environment.
Since there was too little evidence and no basis for his claims, Li Yan had reservations about this. However, whether the changes in heaven and earth meant that he regained his orthodoxy or not, it would have a series of impacts, and there was one issue that he had to consider.
Since the trend of heaven and earth has changed, why is the feedback of merit still positive?
Under special circumstances, doing good deeds that are beneficial to heaven and earth, but unable to receive merit, seems to be a normal development.
This question was not discussed in depth before, but now it has an answer.
It is no longer the whole world that gives positive feedback, but Master Xuanzang in the past and Zhan Tan Merit Buddha today.
"Exercising the gift of merit on behalf of heaven and earth is truly a great achievement!"
"It's just hard to support it for long..."
Li Yan didn't know exactly what happened that year, so that the missing Xuanzang actually appeared in this appearance, but he had great respect for Master Xuanzang in history, and he admired him even more now.
This kind of determination is comparable to giving up one's self and aligning one's body with the Tao. It requires great courage and great sacrifice.
Unfortunately, judging from the response of the breath, Xuanzang's condition is worrying, and the mark of his existence is dissolving at an extremely slow but consistent speed.
This should be the reason why the "First Ancestor" is gradually approaching awakening. When the mark is completely dissolved, Xuanzang's individual influence will be completely dissipated, and the Tantan Merit Buddha will no longer be able to rectify merits for heaven and earth.
"Preventing the 'Ancestor' from awakening is the greatest help. There is no need to do anything extra at this stage to prevent unnecessary complications..."
"Since merit is the benefit that Xuanzang fought for us, let's take advantage of the opportunity to get more of it!"
Li Yan withdrew his thoughts and had some concerns in his mind.
After initially clarifying the reasons behind it, Zhantan Merit Buddha's attention at this time has a new explanation.
It is not so much the resonance between the scripture seekers, but more like the positive effect that the appearance of Hai Rui and "Public Security Shu" had on the Ming court, so it was prepared to send merit at the appropriate time.
Then you're welcome...
Give full play to the miraculous effects of the Ming Dynasty Sword, and gain amazing merits!
…
"Have you experienced the magical effects of the sacred tree?"
Facing Yu Jing's gaze, Hai Rui held the wooden stick in his hand and felt the gentle breath coming out of it, which made the weakness of years of poverty and the pain of being imprisoned in the prison disappear. He had to admit that this thing was indeed extraordinary.
s method.
But the more this happens, the more we must be vigilant. The other party is plotting evil and destabilizing the society!
Yu Jing didn't care about this caution. What she really encouraged was the young weapon spirit who was like a curious baby in "Public Security Shu". It was just superficial for Hai Rui. By the way, she reminded: "The emperor has selected elites from the Jin Yiwei to follow him.
You are traveling west together, but there will be disasters along the way, so be careful."
Hai Rui, like other civil servants, was not interested in what Jin Yiwei was doing, but he trusted the elite abilities of Lu Bing's men: "You don't have to worry about it now. Jin Yiwei will protect my safety."
Yu Jing smiled and said: "In order to be sincere, you are not allowed to bring too many followers on the way to learn the scriptures. You will be accompanied by two guards in brocade clothes. Just like Master Xuanzang came out of seclusion to learn the scriptures in the past, the king of Tang also arranged for two followers to protect him, but
The fate of those two will not be good..."
Not only was it bad, Xuanzang had just left the Hezhou Guards and before he officially left the Tang Dynasty, he encountered three monsters. Two of his guards died directly and were brutally eaten. Xuanzang was rescued by Taibaijinxing.
Walk.
It can be said that without the help of gods, the first difficulty in getting out of seclusion is that people will be dead.
Although the current world is not full of demons, there are still many dangers on the road, so Zhu Si and Zhu Qi from the Thirteen Taibao are accompanying them.
Zhu Qi was highly skilled in martial arts and had accumulated rich experience in traveling around the world in his early years. Zhu Si was responsible for magical spells and speeding up the journey of the three of them. Otherwise, they would have to travel step by step through mountains and rivers, which would be far more than a hundred and eight thousand miles.
It was a long journey, and Jiajing had already enshrined him in the Ancestral Temple after returning.
Yujing knew very well that there must be disasters on the way to learn the scriptures. Those hidden enemies targeting the spirit tribe might not be able to hold back. Even if they didn't take action, the spirit tribe would accidentally go down to the next world and create a crisis.
Only the scriptures that have been retrieved with so much hard work can be cherished...
In view of this, Yujing still asked: "You still need an identity!"
Hai Rui frowned: "Identity?"
Yujing said: "The last person who collected scriptures was a holy monk who was my younger brother. You were also entrusted by the emperor of the Middle-earth Dynasty. How can you be unknown?"
Before studying for Buddhist scriptures in the past, the King of Tang and Xuanzang did have such a conversation:
"I am a poor monk with no talent, but I am willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses, and seek the true scriptures with Your Majesty, so that I can protect my king's kingdom forever."
"Master, if you can be so loyal and virtuous and not afraid of long journeys and trekking through mountains and rivers, I am willing to worship you as a brother."
"Your Majesty, what virtues and abilities does this poor monk have? How dare he be so favored by heaven? Once I leave, I will sacrifice my life and work hard until I reach the Western Heaven. If I don't reach the Western Heaven and don't get the true scriptures, I will not dare to return to my country even if I die, and I will fall into eternal destruction. hell."
Xuanzang made a great vow not to take the true scriptures and fall into hell forever. On the one hand, he had a firm belief in Buddhism. On the other hand, he was favored by the king and had to serve the country with all his loyalty. Later, when he talked with the disciples in the temple, he also felt at a loss. , good or bad is difficult to determine.
The two parties also made an agreement, saying that after Xuanzang left, "it may be three or two years, or it may be five or seven years, but if you look at the pine branches in the mountain gate facing east, I will come back immediately; otherwise, I will never come back."
Now that Hai Rui is out of the capital, he no longer has such a wonderful agreement, but he is still entrusted by the king, so of course his treatment should keep up.
Hai Rui knew that what the other party said was true and fell into deep thought.
It is impossible to be a royal younger brother, and it is exaggerated to see the ministers send each other off, so what kind of identity can he have?
Yujing revealed the answer: "Takers, are you willing to be the imperial envoy of the Ming Dynasty and patrol the four directions?"
…
"Hai Rui, are you going to Guanzhong?"
One day later, in the Qianqing Palace, Jiajing frowned and looked at Hai Rui, who was meeting again.
Hai Rui said: "Goddess Yujing has four major continents. I want to travel west to Niuhezhou, then to Juluzhou in the north, and finally to Shengshenzhou in the east. Finally, I will return to the Ming Dynasty in the middle of the country. This is for the purpose of traveling far and wide. Seek the continents."
Jiajing frowned: "Then there is no need to go out of Guanzhong..."
Hai Rui said: "His Majesty ordered his ministers to find a way to relieve the resentful souls. However, there was a great earthquake in Guanzhong. Countless victims were displaced and suffered heavy casualties. Isn't this the right place to alleviate the sins of the resentful souls?"
Jiajing thought of the description of the tragic situation in Guanzhong in the recent memorial. He was silent for a moment and asked: "What do you want to do when you get to Guanzhong?"
Hai Rui said: "Preach your virtues, inquire about the people's sufferings, observe the officials, and clearly depose them!"
Lu Fang, who was standing next to him, looked slightly sideways when he heard this.
With such a responsibility, isn’t it an imperial envoy?
This audacious minister seems to have figured out his master's key point, and he actually dares to make repeated requests?
Hai Rui was very calm.
Although he was inspired by Yujing, he did not think it was an extravagant wish.
I hope that "Public Security Shu" will be made public to the government and the public as soon as possible, in exchange for traveling far away to obtain the illusory so-called true scriptures. But now traveling to Guanzhong to provide disaster relief and rescue the people, and punish corrupt officials who have helped in the disaster, is a big wish in my heart and a minister's duty. !
Jiajing looked at this man with some contradictions as he looked like a sharp sword coming out of its sheath and shining with light.
Jiajing, as the emperor, also hated local corruption.
The reason is very simple. Since he regards the world as the private property of one family, those corrupt officials and those who are ignorant are the emperor's money. My money is gone, so I will send Hai Rui, this indomitable sword, to kill the corrupt spirit. Happy?
On the surface, this is an imperial envoy patrolling all directions for the emperor. He can be killed first and reported later!
Behind the scenes, he is another Buddhist scripture seeker who solves the unspeakable secrets for the emperor and saves him from the suffering of a wasted death!
It actually kills two birds with one stone.
What's more, such an arrangement can also stimulate Hai Rui's fighting spirit, allowing him to wholeheartedly learn lessons for himself, rather than giving up halfway unwillingly.
After Jiajing finished weighing, his tone became gentle: "Hai Gangfeng, you are worried about the country and the people, hate evil as much as hatred, and want to repay with fists, how can I not fulfill it? God has the virtue of good life, and will not put all the people in water and fire, so go to Guanzhong
, you can comfort the victims on my behalf, punish rape and eradicate evil!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
Hai Rui, who had gone from being a principal to a prisoner and then an imperial envoy, saluted and thanked him: "Your Majesty, Hai Rui, accepts the decree!"
Jiajing had always been able to control his ministers, but this time when he saw this minister getting what he wanted, he felt a little uneasy and couldn't be happy.
The publication of the "Public Security Notice" was already an exaggeration, and then giving Hai Rui the responsibility of imperial envoy was tantamount to admitting to the world that the other party's reprimand was absolutely correct, and he must correct it...
This is no different from the edict of sinner.
For an emperor who was extremely afraid of taking responsibility and wanted his ministers to take the blame, it was extremely uncomfortable!
But what can be done? At this point, Jiajing has no choice but to silently comfort in his heart: "With such good deeds, God should allow me to live longer and avoid being disturbed by resentful souls, right?"
