Xuanzang finished his lecture for the day, walked slowly down the platform, bid farewell to Li Shimin and all the civil and military officials, and then entered a temple to study by himself, preparing to continue reciting Buddhist scriptures for all sentient beings tomorrow.
"Master, Elder Faming of Jinshan Temple has come to ask for an audience." At midnight, a young novice knocked on the door and reported.
Xuanzang quickly got up and went to the door of the temple to greet the visitor respectfully: "Master, you are here. My disciple was meditating and could not sense your arrival, so he missed you and greeted you from afar." Fa Ming was Xuanzang's master in the mortal world.
.
Faming bowed to Elder Tang and said, "Since I, Amitabha Buddha, have achieved perfect merit and virtue and have returned to the golden lotus seat and returned to the thunderous sound, this old monk no longer dares to call you master."
The meritorious Buddha shook his head, nodded again, and did not argue with Faming. He politely invited him into the hall. "Master, I wonder why you came here late at night?"
Faming said: "Return to my Buddha. Today, the old monk was giving a lecture at Yanta Temple. The old monk had the honor to observe the ceremony. The meaning of the merit Buddha's explanation of the scriptures was deeply shocking. The old monk Buddha's heart was filled with excitement and he did not dare to listen more. He glanced elsewhere.
, I accidentally discovered that the golden light in the backyard was shining brightly and brilliantly, as if Maitreya Buddha had arrived."
"Oh?!" Merit Buddha was startled, "The Buddha from the East is here in person?"
"Exactly." Fa Ming nodded.
The meritorious Buddha pondered for a while and said: "Today, the young monk failed to find the future queen in the square. Could it be...?"
Faming nodded again.
"I wonder what Master thinks?" Xuanzang asked, "Why did the Buddha from the East leave the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and come here?"
Like the meritorious Buddha just now, Faming shook his head and then nodded, and said: "It's very good that the Buddha came to marry the future queen in person. Previously, a monster used the immortal magic weapon to murder her, causing the emperor to lose part of his dragon energy and enter the palace.
The time of her enthronement was delayed, and she had to leave the palace for three years to avoid the throne. If the empress can enter my Buddha's temple during this period, she will
The prosperity of our religion can be seen. The land of the East is the root of Taoism. If you want to promote Buddhism, you must have the protection of purple energy and the human emperor who is not afraid of the power of Taoism. The old monk saved the queen once, which was considered a preliminary relationship. Now there is a Buddha coming to earth.
It's absolutely foolproof, it's excellent. As for..." The elder probably had something else to say, but he didn't say it out loud.
"I am Amitabha. My disciple understands." said the Buddha of Merit.
After the two of them finished talking about business, they started talking about Buddhism in the middle of the night, and they just ended at dawn.
Elder Faming was walking southward in the clouds. He wanted to go back to Jinshan Temple directly, but suddenly he saw a white dragon flying in the distance. The elder thought for a moment and hid behind a cloud. The white dragon did not find Faming and continued to fly away until
Over the Hongjiang Dragon Palace, he turned over and dived into the water.
The elder wondered: "Isn't it that the Third Prince Jade Dragon is here because of the affairs of the Dragon King of Jinghe River?"

When the birdman found Dong Yong, he was immersed in reading. Dong Yong was addicted to books when he was in the mortal world. After ascending to heaven, he was satisfied with becoming an immortal and attaining enlightenment, so he gradually stayed away from "literary books". At this time, after seeing the infinite collection of books in the library, his heart changed.
The most primitive "desire" immediately reappeared and filled the whole body, and he was unable to extricate himself from the ocean of mysterious knowledge every day.
"Hey, hey, hey! Wake up, wake up, stop staring, just blink!" The swing gently tapped Dong Yong's forehead with a small wooden board.
Dong Yong, who was so absorbed in reading, didn't notice Birdman and the others at all, "Mr. Yu! And Miss Yu, when did you come?"
The birdman looked at "A Yong" and said with a smile: "There is a saying in the world, 'You can't live without being crazy', but are you a little too 'obsessed'? However," he stretched out a trace of spiritual power and penetrated Dong Yongyuan
God, "The amazing thing is that you are so engrossed in studying, your brain is so tense, and you have very little rest time. Not only are you not overworked, but you are full of energy. Hahaha, it's strange."
Dong Yong replied: "Sir, I feel that heaven and earth care the most for us scholars. A delicacy of delicacies from mountains and seas cannot make the stomach full, but people can enjoy the beauty of knowledge infinitely. I am not excited enough, how can I
Decadent and tired.”
"Then we can't just focus on it," Bird Man said. "Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. The great road is in the world of all things, and books cannot fit in it."
Dong Yong was stunned when he heard what Crow Crow said, and asked: "Sir, this sentence makes sense, does it have any origin?"
"Um..." Birdman couldn't answer. "Anyway, you can't stay here all the time. You need to go out more often and connect the contents of the book with reality. Cultivation is the process of 'perceiving all things and yourself'. You don't even have to leave the door.
Practice some shit."
"I'm here to teach you." Dong Yong agreed with Crow's words, "The Tantan Merit Buddha, who has gained the most popularity in recent times, walked hundreds of thousands of miles to achieve enlightenment. I should also travel some."
"There's no rush." Birdman said, "Since you love reading so much, you can continue to study here. Not only can you go to the outer cabinet of the library, but you can also go to the cabinet; not only you can go to the Ninth Academy, but you can also go to other places in Penglai Secret Realm.
Academies, even Chanjiao or Renjiao academies. When one day you feel 'satisfied' and 'enough', then you can travel to the Three Realms."
"Okay." Dong Yong was overjoyed.
……………………………………………
The library is a new place. Birdman and Swing were here for the first time. They were a little curious, so they picked up a few books and flipped through them.
"It's a pity that these have the special spell marks of the Sanqing Sect, so they can't be stolen." The crow and the fox felt a little regretful.
The Sanqing Sect attaches great importance to "classics". The marks of the treasures in the Treasure Pavilion are weak and can be easily erased by Taiyi Golden Immortals like Birdman. However, the various documents in the Treasure Pavilion, even if they explain the most basic cultivation rules,
Introductory books that can be found everywhere in the ancient world contain secret seals that are difficult for Daluo Jinxian to decipher in a short time.
"Hey! Ayong, do you have any recommendations? I want to find more interesting books." Swing shouted.
Dong Yong held a piece of leather made of an unknown material and placed it in front of the little vixen: "This book records the daily life of the ancient gods. The form is very different from today's, which is interesting. Miss Jade, do you want to read it?"
"Bah. I'm sick. What do other people do every day? Idle?" People like Zhuqian who only care about "eating, drinking and making money" are destined not to be interested in such books.
"Come, look at this!" Crow knew his daughter better and found a recipe book that recorded various delicacies in the Three Realms.
Swing was very happy to take the jade slip, his consciousness was deep and he was extremely satisfied. He licked it with his little tongue, which was very cute.
Birdman laughed at Dong Yong and said, "You see, you are 'out of touch with reality'. The recommendation is not based on your interests, but the hobbies of my 'greedy girl' need to be taken into consideration."
Dong Yong nodded, "Sir, you are right."
Birdman sat next to the swing, holding a feather in his hand. He hesitated for a while, and finally released a spiritual method to activate the records in the feather. Pictures immediately appeared in his eyes. "Things before life and things after death are not the same.
Know how it looks from a third person’s perspective.”
