One of the ministers recognized the auspicious beast and couldn't help but screamed.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty. According to rumors, this unicorn is an auspicious beast. Every time it appears, it will bring good luck. This is God blessing me, the Tang Dynasty..."
Another minister flattered him.
"Huh? There's someone on the back of that unicorn?"
"Shall I go? Is there really someone?"
"Is that man not an immortal?"
When the ministers saw someone on Qilin's back, they exclaimed again.
When the Qilin auspicious beast came closer, Tang Wang Li Shimin clearly saw the person on its back. He was so frightened that he hurriedly worshiped: "I have seen the Holy Master!"
"Holy Master? But the legendary Holy Master of our human race?"
"It is rumored that the Holy Master once taught our human race in ancient times and was the ancient righteous god of our human race. I didn't expect that the Holy Master actually existed!"
"It turned out to be a Saint Master..."
…
All the ministers hurriedly saluted and said, "I have seen the Holy Master!"
Li Xiao sat on Qilin's back, looked at Li Shimin, and said calmly: "The king of men is equal!"
Li Shimin stood up, looked at Li Xiao, hurriedly raised his hands and asked: "I wonder why the Holy Master suddenly came?"
"Human King, do you know your sin?"
Li Xiao looked at Tang Wang Li Shimin and said in a deep voice.
Li Shimin was startled, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground again, hurriedly clasping his hands and saying: "This... I don't know what the crime is? Please ask the Holy Master to clarify..."
Li Xiao looked at Li Shimin and said calmly: "Human King, you are the authentic sect of the human race and the foundation of my human race. Among our human race, there is the supreme magic of Xuanmen, but you choose to seek the far away from the near and seek the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures. What are you?"
I want people from the East to believe in the scriptures of the Buddha? Isn’t this extremely absurd? I tell you, even the two saints of the Buddhist sect once listened to the Taoist ancestors of the Xuanmen. The Buddha is the Tao, and the eight
It’s just a hundred gates…”
Li Shimin was horrified when he heard this, and hurriedly worshiped: "Holy Master, but...but the Buddhist scripture-seeking team has already set off. What...what should we do?"
Li Xiao looked at Li Shimin and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, go to hell with him, but we also have to go to ours. The people of our Eastern Territory are originally orthodox, and we should educate all nations and teach my supreme Taoist method!"
"this……"
Li Shimin grinned and said hurriedly: "Holy Master, this country is far away, this..."
Li Xiao looked at Li Shimin and said calmly: "I can go to the West in person and educate those foreign countries!"
"So good, so good!"
Li Shimin was overjoyed.
Then, Li Shimin asked people to prepare Xuanmen and Taoist classics and put them together with Li Xiao.
Li Xiaoze ordered the heavenly soldiers and generals to protect the palace. From then on, it was no longer possible for Buddhism to bully the human king.
And Li Xiao came to see Li Shimin this time just to get a good name. Those foreign countries along the way don't know whether you are a fairy or not.
But he knows about the Eastern Tang Dynasty!
In this way, you will be famous!
Then, Li Xiao also set off, riding the Qilin auspicious beast all the way, slowly heading west.
Along the way, Li Xiao was also accompanied by three direct disciples.
…
Buddhist Holy Land, Lingshan Mountain, Daleiyin Temple.
Guanyin Bodhisattva hurriedly came to see Tathagata Buddha, hurriedly folded his hands and said: "Buddha, it's not good, it's not good..."
Tathagata Buddha looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva and asked: "Venerable Guanyin, I wonder what happened? How can you be so panicked?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva hurriedly folded his hands and said: "Buddha, that Li Xiao also received the decree of King Tang and came west along the way!"
"Coming west along the way? What...what is he going to do?"
The light in Tathagata Buddha's eyes flashed uncertainly, and suddenly his heart froze, and he gritted his teeth and said: "You Li Xiao, he is trying to trick my Buddhist sect into draining the fire. It's hateful, it's hateful, it's really hateful..."
Li Xiao spreads the Dharma along the way, and in this way, the land of Buddhism will become the land of Taoism.
If Li Xiao is allowed to come along this way, then the territory of Buddhism will be slowly eroded by Li Xiao, and the luck of Buddhism will be evacuated step by step by Li Xiao.
This is the purpose of Li Xiao's journey to the west!
Tathagata Buddha naturally realized the key to this, and his face changed drastically, and he said angrily: "Damn it, this Li Xiao... is really hateful, extremely hateful..."
Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Tathagata Buddha and said anxiously: "Buddha, what should we do?"
The light in Tathagata Buddha's eyes flickered uncertainly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Hmph, if Li Xiao wants to preach all the way to the west and end my destiny in Buddhism, then he must have to complete a journey of one hundred and eight thousand miles. In this way,
Let’s see who reaches the Western Heaven first, Tang Sanzang or Li Xiao…”
Guanyin Bodhisattva grinned, looked at Tathagata Buddha, and said with a wry smile: "Buddha, that Li Xiao is too strong, only you, Buddha, can resist it. This...he is going to come all the way. Who can stop him?"
Tathagata Buddha took a deep breath, his eyes flashed with light, and muttered: "Forget it, it seems that the poor monk has to go and see Li Xiao again!"
As he spoke, Tathagata Buddha flashed and disappeared into the Great Leiyin Temple.
When Tathagata Buddha appeared again, he was already on Li Xiao's only path to the west.
Li Xiao walked slowly with three disciples. On this day, they walked to a mountain, looked up and said with a smile: "Tathagata, you are finally here!"
Tathagata Buddha sat on the golden lotus, looked at Li Xiao, and said in a deep voice: "Li Xiao, you want to travel west to ruin my luck in Buddhism. How can a poor monk do what you want? How can a poor monk not come?"
Li Xiao looked at Tathagata Buddha and laughed loudly: "Tathagata, what's wrong? Are you sometimes afraid?"
Tathagata Buddha looked at Li Xiao, his face was as dark as water, and he said in a deep voice: "Li Xiao, if you want to go west, you have to pass the poor monk first!"
Li Xiao looked at Tathagata Buddha and chuckled: "Okay, very good, Tathagata, if you block the path of a poor man, the poor man can also block the path of Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty. In this way, your Buddhist sect will never be able to hope for great prosperity!"
Tathagata Buddha's face was gloomy, he stared at Li Xiao, and said solemnly: "Humph, Li Xiao, you forced this poor monk, and there is nothing he can do about it!"
Li Xiao looked at Tathagata Buddha, chuckled, and said with a curl of his lips: "Tathagata, there is a way for poor Taoists. I wonder if you are willing to listen to it?"
Although Tathagata Buddha was very reluctant to listen to what Li Xiao said, what Li Xiao said was indeed right. He could block Li Xiao's westbound path here, and Li Xiao could also stand across the road and block Tang Sanzang's westbound path.
In this way, Buddhism is afraid that when Tang Sanzang's life is over, he is afraid that he will not be able to obtain the Buddhist scriptures.
If the true scriptures cannot be spread eastward, how can Buddhism prosper?
Therefore, Tathagata Buddha was also anxious.
Therefore, Tathagata Buddha knew that Li Xiao might be plotting against him, but he still thought he could give it a try.
Taking a deep breath, Tathagata Buddha stabilized his mind, looked at Li Xiao, and asked in a deep voice: "Li Xiao, please come and listen!"
