When the Dragon King of Jinghe River was complaining about the palace, it was Guanyin Bodhisattva who took action to resolve the matter. All these deeds paved the way for Master Xuanzang to obtain scriptures later. Even if it was not clear in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, it seemed that it was all a piece of cake.
It was a fog, but now that the scriptures have been retrieved, even ordinary people can see the whole picture from them.
What's more, his new emperor's intelligence far exceeds that of ordinary people.
There is such a big trend among people who want to learn from Buddhist scriptures.
What about preachers...
I'm afraid it will only be strong but not weak. Even if there is no Guanyin Bodhisattva to protect it, it will be difficult for him to resist any Buddha or Bodhisattva from the Western Heaven. If the Western Heaven Buddhist Sect can do this, it must have also greeted the Eastern Taoist Sect. The situation cannot be like this.
He turned it around with his own strength.
"Teacher, please make it clear."
Li Tai suppressed the fear in his heart and bowed to ask.
The more information he knows, the more time he can prepare. If the sutra preacher had not been given guidance by Bai Gui, he might never know this "position" in Buddhism in his entire life.
"This sentence is not my suggestion."
Bai Gui laughed, "In the 21st year of Zhenguan, the late emperor once hosted a banquet for all ministers and asked about the official names. At that time, Li Jun said that his nickname was Wuniang. Later, the late emperor randomly found him as the head prisoner.
Beheaded to death."
"The teacher is saying..."
How could Li Tai not understand this moment? Zhenguan North Korea would kill heroes, especially killings for no reason. The late emperor founded the Tang Dynasty with Gaozu, ascended the throne at a young age, and had unparalleled generals. There was no need to suspect the heroes. Li Junxian was unjustly killed.
, there was a big commotion at that time.
In the 21st year of Zhenguan, the late emperor demoted Li Junxian and executed him for other crimes. At that time, everyone in the court thought that the late emperor was old and dim and no longer wise. Of course, except for the
Outside of the Emperor's ignorance, there are also rumors and rumors, that is, "female warriors dominate the world."
Now, Bai Gui's old story is brought up again.
Wu Jue also has the word "武" in her name, and she is born as a girl. It is obvious that the late emperor really unjustly killed Li Junxian. The real prophecy of "female warriors will dominate the world" should be attributed to Wu Jue
.
"This woman cannot be killed..."
"You can't do it any other way."
Li Tai's mind was full of thoughts.
After he sat on the throne, he naturally refused to give it up to others. But Wu Jue had the support of Buddhism and the Taoist sect agreed with the matter. No matter how unwilling he was, he had to admit it.
He went to see Bai Gui again, but when he saw that Bai Gui had not spoken, he did not mention the matter again.
This was already the biggest wake-up call that teacher Bai Gui gave him.
"I will invite Wu Jue into the palace tomorrow."
he said.
After the two of them finished talking, Bai Gui also nodded and left calmly, walking like flowing water without any sloppiness at all.
He left the Li Zheng Hall and soared into the sky.
"Mr. Liu is truly worthy of being one of the gods..."
In Chang'an City, officials who knew Bai Gui praised him.
…
It's just that Bai Gui didn't really leave Chang'an City. The reason why he pretended to fly up in the sky was because he didn't want to be disturbed by others anymore, so he broke off the secular ties and was not involved in the cause and effect of the world.
After helping Princess Iron Fan in the Purple Bamboo Forest in the South China Sea, Princess Iron Fan said that she would go to Chang'an City in a few days to express her gratitude. After finishing this matter, he would no longer worry about her.
Four or five days passed.
Princess Iron Fan arrived late.
"Although Cuiyun Mountain is rich, Taoist Master Bai is different from the past. It is really difficult to find gifts to choose from. After spending so many days, I finally found a gift to express my gratitude."
She said apologetically.
She had agreed to go to Chang'an to thank Bai Gui in a few days, but she was delayed for a few days. Although a few days is just a moment to the immortals, she should apologize and apologize.
Things are different now.
In the past, Bai Gui was just a simple Cao Guan. It didn't matter if she got a big job. Later, Bai Gui was promoted. When she was in Moyun Cave in Jilei Mountain, she still couldn't recognize her identity. After the incident of Hong Boyer,
Only then did she truly understand what it meant to be taught by a direct descendant.
With these four words alone, even if Bai Gui's cultivation is not enough to be praised as a Taoist, he is enough to run rampant in the immortal world.
But Bai Gui's cultivation is not simple either.
If you have dignity, you also have face. Such people are the most difficult to offend.
"Fellow Taoist Iron Fan, you and I have known each other for many years."
"No need to bring gifts, just come..."
Bai Gui reached out to take the thank-you gift from Princess Iron Fan. At a glance, he saw that it was some gold foil, but these gold foils were a little unusual. He looked at it with his consciousness while speaking politely.
But after the words came out of his mouth, he suddenly became speechless.
What do you mean you don’t need to bring a gift... just come.
Princess Iron Fan's face turned crimson and she spat lightly, "Master Bai is very rude. I am a married man. Please be careful with your words, otherwise... Otherwise, even if my jade is broken, my family will not be so tainted by you."
"
There was a hint of determination in her almond-shaped eyes.
Seems to be telling the truth.
Bai Gui also felt speechless. He avoided the topic and asked about the thank-you gift from Princess Iron Fan. "From a poor Taoist perspective, this gold foil seems to be extraordinary and has the power of faith. This gold foil... comes from the statue of a god."
Peel it off?”
"Baidao has a wise eye."
Princess Iron Fan praised, "This gold foil was once the golden body of the statue of the monkey. When the monkey was still a mortal, it died for protecting a town of people, so the people remembered its kindness and built buildings for it.
He went to the Monkey General Temple, where he had a stone statue and a golden body built for him."
"It's just that this monkey is a good man. After becoming a half-god and half-Buddha, he sympathizes with the world. If there is a disaster somewhere, he will let the messenger Qingniao hold his golden body and gold foil to rescue the victims. This gold foil was originally gold
, followed by his golden body..."
"When I was in Cuiyun Mountain, I heard that there were statues of fellow Taoists in Bhikkhu's country, so I searched for these gold foils in various countries in Xiniu and Hezhou, gathered them together, and gave them to Taoist Master Bai as a gift."
She explained slowly.
The ape in this world is not Yuan Hong, the Four-Dead Star King, but another monkey. In other words, the ape is just a species that evolved from the monkey genus. For example, in the Huaguo Mountain, there are two red crotch monkeys.
The horse monkey and two monkeys guide Sun Wukong to go to the Aolai Kingdom to get weapons for the monkeys to practice.
"Fellow Taoist Iron Fan is determined."
Bai Gui nodded with satisfaction and put these gold foils into his sleeves.
At his level, to be honest, ordinary gifts of thanks are really not worth it. The huge Moyun Cave in Jilei Mountain and the accumulation of the Long Live Fox King only set his sights on a Three Life Stone. Now he doesn't even look down on the Three Life Stone.
.
Treasures of heaven and earth are difficult to see, but this half-Buddha, half-god, is made of gold foil condensed by the power of merit and thought. This can be regarded as a first-class spiritual object. It is a good treasure to use it to understand the way of faith.
As for why the monkey general used "gold foil" to exchange money.
Obviously the values are not equal, there is a huge difference.
This is not something difficult to understand.
Half-god and half-Buddha, he has not yet become a Buddha through practice, that is, he has become an immortal. Sun Wukong has not even mastered the art of turning stone into gold, let alone this monkey.
Gold cannot be conjured by magic, so we have to use this stupid method.
"This great monkey general is a disciple of Maitreya Buddha."
"If I look at him in person and have such compassion, I will definitely become a Buddha in the future."
Princess Iron Fan smiled and said: "If Taoist Master Bai doesn't need these gold foils, you can send them to the Monkey General Temple and exchange them for him. This can be regarded as forming a good relationship with him."
These gold foils are the condensation of the golden body of the Brachiosaurus, and their importance to the Brachiosaurus is self-evident. Giving these gold foils to the Brachiosaurus is equivalent to receiving the good fortune of a Buddhist Buddha in the future.
Of course, this good karma is generally dispensable to Bai Gui, and is not a very precious thing. What is even more precious is the gold foil itself.
One day later, Princess Iron Fan left.
The next day, Tang Monk, Sun Wukong and others came to pay homage to him.
"Amitabha." Tang Monk first clapped his hands and apologized, "The poor monk didn't want to pay attention to the matter of debate. He had an impure heart and was not a member of my Buddhist sect after all. He never thought that he and Princess Gao Yang would go to Taoist Bai's residence to find Taoist Bai.
When the new emperor came to the throne, Bian Ji came to ask for help, but the poor monk did not open the door to receive him, so this bad fate was finally over."
When he talked about this, his words were filled with sighs.
In fact, he was still reluctant to let go of his disciple Bian Ji. Bian Ji was smart and among his many disciples, he would definitely inherit his mantle in the future. However, he did not expect that Bian Ji's mind was not right. However, he was still reluctant to give up and had not made up his mind.
determination.
However, Bianji offended Bai Gui, forcing him to make a decision.
Otherwise, the outcome of the debate remains to be seen.
The concept of shame is established by Confucianism. In Buddhism, although the behavior of arguing is considered as breaking the precepts, breaking the precepts is not an unforgivable sin as the world believes.
Eating meat is considered a breach of the precept, drinking alcohol is also considered a breach of the precept...
But the unity of the three religions, how to judge, still depends on one mind. Monk Bianji was reluctantly given up by Monk Tang after weighing the pros and cons.
Buddhism is inseparable from scandals.
Anuo and Kassapa are not extorting benefits from him.
"Master Xuanzang is too polite."
Bai Gui nodded, "As for the debate, after all, it's because his six roots are impure and he has no chance of being on the great path."
Although he was quietly reciting Huang Ting in his residence, he also knew that Monk Bianji was sentenced to be chopped in half by the new emperor Li Tai in order to calm the minds of the scholars in the world.
Fang Xuanling is a benchmark for scholars in the world. Prime ministers and ministers cannot avoid Fang Xuanling. Therefore, even without his promotion, Li Tai would not sacrifice his face to protect Bian due to the relationship between Li Tai and Princess Gaoyang.
Monk Ji. Monk Bian Ji will definitely die a bad death, it will just happen sooner or later.
"Master Xuanzang resigned today. It seems that his merits have been fulfilled and he is ready to return to Lingshan."
Bai Gui laughed.
After taking the scriptures, Tang Seng and others cannot return them immediately. Otherwise, no one will translate the Sanskrit scriptures. Now that Tang Seng has finished translating the scriptures, it is time to go to Lingshan.
"What Taoist Master Bai said is right."
"The reason why the poor monk and others came here today is to go to Lingshan Mountain."
Tang Monk clasped his hands and recited the Buddha's name.
"Taoist Master Bai, the people all over the city say that you have risen to great heights with the help of rosy clouds, but Lao Sun guessed that you are still in Chang'an when he saw that there is still purple and gold light in your house and your good fortune continues."
Sun Wukong said.
He is a spiritually luminous stone monkey, and his piercing eyes can bring you great luck.
No matter how high the mountain is, there will be immortals. If the water is not deep, there will be dragons. Baizhai's luck is long and the purple energy is powerful for three hundred miles. This is a sign of meritorious deities.
"The reason why I didn't leave was because I was waiting for the Great Sage and Master Xuanzang."
Bai Gui replied.
After bidding farewell to Princess Iron Fan one day, he noticed that Tang Seng's merits and virtues were perfected that night. So he roughly guessed that Tang Seng would leave in the next couple of days.
"After a long journey, we will see you again. Farewell Master Xuanzang."
A few people went to Yuntou. After Bai Gui sent Tang Sengli to the border of the Tang Dynasty, he resigned, and then separated from Tang Seng and his group and headed for Qingzi Kingdom.
Qingzi Country is a small country in Hezhou, Xiniu. It is also near Lingshan Mountain.
Under the Daqing Mountain of Qingzi Kingdom, there is a temple called the Monkey General Temple. However, this temple gradually declined and the golden body in the temple disappeared, leaving only a stone statue.
When Bai Gui entered the temple, he picked up three sticks of incense, lit them, and inserted them into the incense burner.
The incense ashes are scattered into two colors: gold and silver.
Pieces of gold foil gradually appeared on the surface of the stone monkey...
A blue bird flew in from outside the temple and circled around Bai Gui, chirping non-stop, full of joy.
"I have a method, called meditation method, which I will teach to the world. I would like to ask fellow Taoists to use a golden body to enter. I don't know if you will agree."
After paying homage to the Monkey General, Bai Gui smiled and took out the Zizhen Spiritual Mirror.
The surface of the Zizhen Spiritual Mirror is like the ripples of a lake, with a dharma revealed.
Meditation methods are passed down to the world to achieve enlightenment. Meditation methods can be passed on, but if they are taught too much, they will also offend the gods and Buddhas, because this is equivalent to reducing the faith of the gods and Buddhas.
Of course, just because the world is making trouble, the gods and Buddhas will not do anything to him. This world will be destroyed after one Yuanhui, and it is not worth offending a person to teach his direct disciples.
Just take a nap.
But... he is about to leave the world of Journey to the West, reincarnate in another world, merge with himself, transcend the timeline, and achieve the Golden Immortal Path. Therefore, in the world of Journey to the West, he needs a "selfless" person to help him.
This person needs to have a strong background and a good future.
Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun has another opportunity to achieve enlightenment, so there is no need to use his, and the same goes for everyone else.
After thinking about it, the Monkey General... seems feasible.
There is another reason. The people in Dongtu of Nanzhan Buzhou live a good life without any harm from big monsters. However, the people in Xiniu Hezhou live in dire straits, so it is suitable to teach meditation. But if you want to teach meditation in Xiniu Hezhou, you have to find someone. He is a member of the Buddhist sect, otherwise the Buddhist sect will look down upon him sooner or later...
"Helping people?"
The stone monkey statue spoke, and he nodded, "Fellow Taoist, I can lend a helping hand. Since this matter is related to helping the world, I am willing to contribute some small power."
Because he helped too many people in the world, and the faith he gained was only a small town. For a long time, he could not make ends meet, and his soul was about to collapse. If it weren't for Bai Gui, a fairy god, he would have died in a few years. It's going to disappear.
The Zizhen Spiritual Mirror is a treasure forged by the Human Emperor Xuanyuan. If someone's heart is not right, this mirror will never recognize its owner. Such sincere power is enough to win his trust.
"My Taoist friend who is half Buddha and half god can become a Buddha if he gets this opportunity."
Bai Guidao.
To become a Buddha is to become an immortal. However, in Buddhism, an immortal is to become a Buddha. The reason why Sun Wukong can be named a fighting and victorious Buddha has a lot to do with his strength as an immortal.
"Amitabha."
The stone Buddha wearing stone armor put his palms together and chanted the name of the Buddha.
