Chapter 707 The Two Phoenixes ascend the throne and Xuanzang travels westward
After Erfeng left Tai Chi Palace, he went to find his sister, Princess Pingyang.
"Sister!"
As soon as Li Shimin entered the courtyard, he saw Princess Pingyang in a black dress.
At this time, she was dancing happily with her sword, and the iron-blooded killing attack came towards her, making Li Shimin feel palpitated.
"You came just in time."
When Li Xiuning saw her brother coming, she smiled slightly and the corners of her lips curved slightly, like a blooming snow lotus in the world of ice and snow.
With a turn of her hand, she sheathed the sword and handed it to the follower.
"I want to go to Mount Zhongnan to practice Taoism."
"Why?"
Li Shimin was slightly surprised.
My sister has always been interested in military science and is good at martial arts.
When the Holy Tang Dynasty raised troops to pacify the world, Li Xiuning made outstanding achievements and was awarded the title of princess for her military merits.
Now that she suddenly proposed to practice Taoism, Li Shimin couldn't help but be surprised.
"Zhongnan Mountain is far from the imperial capital. It is considered a top-grade cave paradise. If my sister wants to go there for meditation, it is not impossible."
Li Shimin was thinking about whether he should lead his troops to talk to Yun Zhongzi and ask him to make room first.
"You don't have to worry about it."
Li Xiuning's sharp eyes seemed to know what Erfeng was thinking, and she said simply and neatly: "Taoist Master Yun Zhongzi has left Zhongnan Mountain."
"But Zhongnan Mountain seems to have an owner now."
Li Shimin looked at the distant mountains. He clearly saw that the clouds and mist there were purple and dense. There must be some enlightened masters practicing.
"Could it be..."
"Zhongnan Mountain has changed owners."
Li Xiuning smiled and said: "Taoist Master Yun Zhongzi took the initiative to leave and make way for the dojo."
"Now, the new Taoist master has opened the Mysterious Forbidden City in Zhongnan Mountain. Anyone who seeks the Tao can enter the mountain, choose a spiritual place, and live in a hut!"
"Really?" Li Shimin was busy rebuilding Chang'an and really didn't know about it.
"The current mountain master, can you tell me that my sister has passed?"
Li Xiuning nodded: "The mountain owner is gentle and honest, and he is a good person."
"It was precisely because I met him that I decided to go to Mount Zhongnan to practice Taoism."
Li Shimin noticed that when his sister talked about the new master of Zhongnan Mountain, she unconsciously had an expression of reverence on her face.
"That's it, I understand." Li Shimin smiled sincerely, thinking about going to see the mountain master again.

Zhongnan Mountain.
Two phoenixes knocked on the mountain door.
Li Shimin walks freely in the mountains with the steps of a dragon and a tiger.
Although he is not the great emperor in the world today, most of Shengtang's luck lies with him.
It is not difficult at all to open the cave of heaven and blessed land.
"Is the master here?"
"What do you think the layman has to say?"
The warm voice was like a refreshing breeze blowing through his heart, causing Li Shimin to slow down his steps unconsciously.
A full moon hangs in the sky for nine days, and the moonlight scatters like a waterfall across the sky and the earth.
He stood on the top of the mountain, as if he could touch the stars and the moon with just one hand.
The gentle mountain breeze blew his sleeves, giving him a sense of infinite tranquility.
Before he could recover, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared under the moonlight on the rocks in front of the mountain.
The green clothes are like pine trees, smiling in the wind, and a pair of peaceful eyes reflect all living beings in the world.
It seems to be standing between heaven and earth, yet transcending the world.
"Are you the new mountain master of Zhongnan Mountain?"
Erfeng, who had not yet awakened, saw Mingyu, and the temptation in his heart suddenly disappeared.
"Exactly."
Mingyu waved his hand, and the moonlight filled the sky and filled the sky with strange phenomena.
In the blink of an eye, Li Shimin found himself in a palace again.
A desk separated him from the Taoist priest in Qingyi.
Mingyu drank a cup of tea by himself and said: "The night view in the mountains is charming, but it is not a place to talk about serious business."
"How come I don't know what 'business' I need to discuss with the mountain master?"
Li Shimin asked back.
He originally came to test the new mountain master of Zhongnan Mountain, but he has been led by him since they met.
This made Li Er, who was always used to having everything in his own hands, a little uncomfortable.
"Then why did the layman come to my place in Zhongnan Mountain?" Mingyu had a smile hidden in his eyes.
"Of course I am..."
Li Shimin opened his mouth to speak, but immediately felt that it was inappropriate, so he swallowed back the rest of his words.
He can't just say that he's here to cause trouble, right?
"...I'm here to talk about 'business'."
Li Shimin changed his mind and became somewhat interested in what the Taoist called "business".
Mingyu nodded slightly: "Before getting down to business, let me ask the layman a question."
"But it's impossible."
"I wonder if lay people have any psychological pressure on recognizing their ancestors?"
Li Er frowned when he heard this.
"I, the Li family, have wiped out all evils, stabilized the world, and created peace. This is an unparalleled achievement that all living beings can learn from!"
"We have achieved such great achievements in two generations, who can be the ancestor of my Li family?!"
Li Shimin's eyes widened with anger, as if you were insulting me.
Mingyu smiled.
"What if the ancestor I'm talking about is Lao Tzu?"
"who?!"
"The envoy to Tibet in Tianzhou is Li Er."
Mingyu said it again.
Li Er was surprised first and then happy.
He immediately changed his expression, his face was solemn, and he said to Mingyu solemnly: "Taoist Priest! How can you call my ancestors by their first names!"
Mingyu: "..."

Western Spirit Mountain.
In the Daleiyin Temple, the Tathagata, the World Honored One, is sitting at the head, followed by three great nobles, including Arhats, Jialan, Venerables, and the eight tribes.
The auspicious clouds turned a hundred times, the auspicious rings were a thousand rings, and the Buddha's light shone everywhere, the Tathagata Buddha spoke: "The Eastern Land has gone through five hundred yuan of wars and chaos, and the world is finally settled, and the people's minds are at peace.
I now have the Tripitaka Sutra, which explains the Mahayana Dharma, which can transcend the dead and ascend to heaven, can help people in difficult situations and escape suffering, can cultivate immeasurable life, and can do things without coming or going."
When the Bodhisattvas heard the words, they put their palms together and took refuge, and went to the Buddha and asked, "Does the Tathagata have the True Tripitaka Sutra?"
The Tathagata said: "I have a collection of "Dharma" to talk about heaven; a collection of "Lunacle" to talk about the earth; a collection of sutras to save ghosts. There are thirty-five volumes in the three collections, which are 15,144 volumes.
It is the sutra of cultivation and the door to righteousness and goodness.”
"I am about to be sent to the Eastern Land, but I am sorry that the people there are stupid, slander the truth, do not understand the purpose of my Dharma, and neglect the authentic teachings of Yoga."
"How to find a man with magical power? Go to the Eastern Land to find a good believer and teach him to travel through thousands of mountains and thousands of rivers. Come to me to obtain the true scriptures and spread them to the Eastern Land forever to persuade all living beings. But it is a huge blessing.
, Shanqing in the depths of the sea. Who is willing to take a trip?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Disciples are willing to go!"
When Tathagata saw Avalokitesvara coming forward, he smiled kindly and said, "No one else can go there. Only the Venerable Avalokitesvara, with great supernatural powers, can go there."
"I wonder if there is a suitable candidate for Venerable Guanyin?"
Avalokitesvara put his palms together and said: "The World Honored One's second disciple, Jin Chanzi, has been reincarnated for ten lives. He is well aware of the billions of sufferings in the world, and he is a good believer in Lingshan!"
When all the Buddhas heard this, they all made calculations with their fingers.
The future Buddha Maitreya said: "The golden cicada is the corpse of the demon god Xia Geng. Xia Geng's soul has been refined through reincarnation, and its fierce power has not diminished. It is still suppressed under the spiritual mountain."
"If you want to release the golden cicada, you need to be prepared for it."
Tathagata smiled and said: "All the saints have already made plans."
After saying that, he took out five treasures and handed them to Guanshiyin, saying: "Among these five treasures, the cassock and the tin staff are both supreme Buddha treasures. Of these two objects, the tin staff is a magic weapon and the cassock is a fortress. They are given to the golden cicada."
The reincarnation."
"But where he sits, there are ten thousand gods to control him, and every move he makes is accompanied by the seven Buddhas. This can suppress his thoughts of demons and gods, and keep him safe and teach him to concentrate on traveling westward."
Guanshiyin looked at the other three treasures and asked, "What's the mystery of these three hoops?"
Tathagata said: "These three gold hoops, tight and forbidden, come from the Holy Emperor Fuxi, the Taiqing Saint, and the Jade Emperor."
"You entrust them to three predestined people, and teach them the incantations, so that they will be able to take care of the pilgrims."
"If the Buddhist monk becomes angry and loses his mind, you can wear this hoop on his head, and he will naturally see roots taking root and give him an unbearable headache!"
"The three methods of gold, tightness, and ban can suppress Xia Gengshi!"
All the Buddhas laughed happily after hearing this.
"With these five treasures, when the golden cicada reaches Lingshan Mountain, it will be the day when it is completely transformed!"
Avalokitesvara also looked happy.
She took the Buddha treasure, bowed her head and said, "This disciple has gone away."
Avalokitesvara took Venerable Hui'an and set off.
They first went to the West Sea.
The Dragon King of the West Sea warmly received the distinguished guests.
Soon, Xiao Bailong went to Yingchou Stream.
When passing by the Liusha River, he was given the title of Sha Wujing by the general of the rolling curtain.
When passing by Fuling Mountain, Marshal Tianpeng was given a dharma title: Zhu Wuneng.
These three are all destined by fate, or in other words, determined by the general trend.
The white dragon represents the dragon clan.
Marshal Tianpeng is a disciple of Master Xuandu and represents the Bajing Palace.
The general who rolls the curtain is the Jade Emperor's personal attendant and is represented by the Heavenly Court. If he can survive this calamity, he will have a bright future.
After handing over the gold and forbidden hoops to the canopy and rolling curtain, Guanyin Bodhisattva took Hui'an to the foot of Five Elements Mountain.
The gods of the land, the mountains, and the heavenly generals who were in charge of the great sage all came to pay homage to the Bodhisattva.
In the Five Elements Mountain, there are red, green, blue and black, and five extreme mountains stand in five directions.
It's like a stone monkey trapped in a prison on five sides.
At the foot of the mountain, Sun Wukong woke up leisurely after hearing the noise.
The Five Hundred Yuan Meeting, the changing of dynasties in the world, the vicissitudes of life.
He has been staying in Five Elements Mountain and seems to have not changed at all.
But it seems to have changed.
His aura was deeper and more reserved than before the Five Hundred Yuan Meeting.
Sun Wukong raised his head and looked at the person.
The bodhisattva's tassel has green pearls hanging down, and the fragrant ring is knotted with precious stones. The dark clouds are cleverly folded into the dragon's bun, and the embroidered ribbon is light and colorful phoenix feathers. The jasper button and the plain robe are shrouded in auspicious light; the brocade velvet skirt and the golden rope are shrouded in auspiciousness.
Behind him is Hui An, who is dressed in warrior robes.
He held a pair of Wu hooks and followed Avalokitesvara respectfully.
"Wukong, do you recognize me?"
Avalokitesvara looked at the monkey with a loving smile on his face.
Sun Wukong also grinned at her.
"I recognize it!"
"On Luojia Mountain in Putuo, South China Sea, the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Namo Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva saves the suffering."
Wukong clearly understood the foundation of Bodhisattva.
As a social expert in heaven, Wukong may have never met Guanyin, but it is impossible not to know her existence.
"Why did the Bodhisattva come to this world if he is not practicing meditation in Luojia Mountain?"
The Bodhisattva said: "According to the Buddha's decree, I went to the Eastern Land to look for people to collect scriptures. I passed by here and left my remaining steps to see you."
Wukong's heart moved.
This is coming!
So Wukong asked: "Has the Bodhisattva seen it?"
"I've seen it." Guanshiyin nodded.
"What can you see?"
Guanshiyin's eyes were slightly closed, and he told lies: "Your sins are very deep, and your killing sins are too heavy."
Unexpectedly, Wukong nodded very naturally.
"The Bodhisattva is right!"
What he was thinking was: these ancient saints had eyes as bright as fire, and the reincarnation of the evil corpse as Ran Min could no longer be concealed.
Emperor Ran Min was the first to recommend "killing Hu Ling", and the killing made all the demons and gods in the world tremble with fear.
For those demon gods, isn't it just that "the sins are too deep and the killings are too heavy"?
Avalokitesvara didn't know what Wukong was thinking. He only said: "If I need to relieve your evil, I'm afraid I need you to go westward. I don't know if you..."
"Yes, yes!"
Before Guanshiyin finished reading the script, Wukong rushed to answer: "I voluntarily walk on this road of benevolence and enlightenment."
Avalokitesvara was not upset even though she was robbed of her lines.
She clasped her hands and smiled: "That's good! That's good!"
Then, Guanyin took out the remaining tight hoop and gave it to Wukong.
"Have a good time and understand the mantra. It will be of great use on your journey westward."
Wukong smiled and said: "I, Sun, don't worry!"
~~~~~
Chang'an City.
After Tang Emperor Li Yuan, Taizong Li Shimin successfully succeeded to the throne.
He became the leader of the Shengtang world.
The eldest grandson Wugao became the empress of the Holy Tang Dynasty, and her mother honored the world.
Li Jing, Li Yaoshi is the undisputed military god in the world today.
Xu Shiji, Qin Shubao, Yuchi Gong, Su Lie... and many other divine generals guarded the world of the Holy Tang Dynasty.
Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang, Xue Ji, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other great scholars opened a new path for the times.
After Li Er succeeded to the throne, he promoted both civil and military affairs.
On the basis of the previous dynasty's opening of subjects to recruit scholars, Shengtang improved it and attracted talents from all over the world to enter the court.
On this day, Emperor Taizong issued an edict: "Publish the list of recruiting talents and promulgate it throughout the world: all prefectures, prefectures and counties, regardless of military or civilian personnel, but those who are well-educated and Confucian, with clear and fluent literature and meaning, and who are proficient in the three fields, will go to Chang'an to take the exam."
Chen Guangrui of Haizhou came to Beijing in response to the imperial edict.
When we arrived in Chang'an, it was time for the grand opening, and Guangrui entered the venue.
After passing the exam, I was selected.
During the imperial examination, Emperor Taizong personally awarded him the number one scholar and paraded him astride a horse for three days.
Unexpectedly, I wandered to the gate of the Prime Minister Yin Kaishan. There was a daughter born to the Prime Minister, named Wen Jiao, also known as Mantang Jiao. She was unmarried. She was high up in the Jiucai Building, throwing hydrangeas to predict her son-in-law, and she happened to hit Chen Guangrui.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Guang Rui believes in a God-given marriage.
But I don’t know that the danger is still behind...
~~~~~
Demon God Xia Geng didn't know how long he had been silent.
When his residual spirit hidden in the corpse awakened, Xia Geng found that his body had become smaller, lying in a wooden basin like a baby, drifting down the river to a big mountain.
"Poor, pathetic!"
A kind old man with white beard and white eyebrows appeared and picked him up from the tub.
Behind the old man is an ancient temple.
Submit a letter to "Jinshan Temple"!
As soon as the Buddha's light shone in the ancient temple, Xia Geng's vision dimmed instantly.
The remaining spirit fell silent again.
Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and moon fly like a shuttle.
The baby in the past has grown up. He rubbed his head in front of the Buddha, received the precepts, and cultivated the Tao with determination.
Elder Faming was a highly enlightened monk. He not only lectured Xuanzang on sutras and Zen, but also taught him martial arts and taught him Buddhist magical powers.
Xuanzang Guo has the root of wisdom. Not only is Buddhism becoming more and more sophisticated, but his practice is also very fast.
The Nether World, in Senluo Palace.
The ten halls of Yama gathered together.
Li Er sat at the top.
Yan Jun sat aside.
"Everyone, Lord Yan, it's time for me to go, right?"
Li Shimin only glanced around a few times, and the underworld of Journey to the West had no secrets for him.
He shook his head and said, "This trip to the underworld is really boring. If Wu Guo hadn't persuaded me, I wouldn't have wanted to come down."
"Great Emperor, you are here, why don't you sit down for a while?"
Yama of the Tenth Palace persuaded helplessly.
The person in front of me is the current great emperor, although he is not as powerful as the Holy Emperors of the Great Realm.
But I can’t bear the fact that this person has such a big background!
Not to mention anything else, the one who protects the Holy Tang Dynasty now is Saint Taiqing!
Li Shimin then sat patiently for a while.
Not long after, a headless dragon king walked upright.
Li Shimin suddenly laughed.
"Jinghe Dragon Lord, there's no need to act so real, right?"
"Or is it that Wei Qing didn't grasp the right balance and struck too hard?"
The headless Jinghe Dragon Dynasty Li Shimin saluted: "I have seen the great emperor!"
"The emperor's words are serious. Brother Wei Zheng is acting according to the rules. It's not that he doesn't have a good sense of proportion."
The Dragon King explained: "There is something wrong with Xiaolong's cultivation. He needs to go through a certain death before he can be reborn."
"Hearing that Brother Wei Zheng had mastered the Confucian practice of 'checking things', Xiaolong borrowed Brother Wei's hand to 'check' this one."
"It's a shame that the Great Emperor has gone to the Netherworld. Xiaolong will be punished with death, a death sentence!"
Li Shimin laughed.
"The death of living beings becomes ghosts, the death of ghosts becomes ghosts, and the death of ghosts becomes hope."
"Long Jun has already died once. If he dies a few more times, wouldn't he be reduced to the likes of Xiao Xi?"
The Dragon King of Jinghe was extremely embarrassed.
At this time, Judge Cui came to report.
"The time has come."
Lord Yan of the Tenth Hall was in high spirits.
They quickly led a group of ghosts and gods to send Erfeng out of the country.
"Great Emperor, walk slowly!"
"No!"
Li Er waved his sleeves and left gracefully.
The emperor who "returns to the sun" has a kind heart and wants to save the lonely souls who have not yet reached the underworld.
Rankings are carried out all over the world, and officials from all over the country select eminent monks who are worthy of the Tao and go to Chang'an to perform pujas.
Xuanzang of Jinshan Temple bid farewell to the elders and headed west to Chang'an with his sword in hand.
With his hard-core transcendence methods, he defeated the others and was appreciated by Taizong.
Taizong ordered him to open the 7749th Water and Land Conference at Huasheng Temple.
