Master Xuanzang, the eminent monk of Jinshan Temple, presided over the Water and Land Dharma Assembly starting at noon in the Ming Dynasty, which became known to the world.
In Chang'an City, people rushed to tell each other.
They all took a closer look.
Does Master Xuanzang have a false reputation, or does he have real talent and learning?
We'll find out tomorrow.
Water and Land Dharma Assembly.
It is equivalent to a large salvation conference, and there are also lectures and discussions on the scriptures.
The whole process is not short.
Among them, discussion of scriptures is the focus of the entire Dharma conference.
The first part is just a process, which can be regarded as a preparation for the subsequent discussion of the sutras. Let's watch Master Xuanzang's verbal battle with the heroes.
certainly.
These are Jiang Chi's thoughts.
"Since Master Xuanzang is here in person, the poor Taoist should naturally go and have a look and listen to his lectures and explanations."
Jiang Que thought to himself, "Such a grand event must not be missed or absent. After all, it is Xuanzang."
Take advantage of this gap.
He quickly looked for some other news.
Learn more.
He couldn't stop the spread of Buddhism to the East, but he could follow Tang Monk in front and behind him on this trip and reap some benefits.
"Originally, Li Er sent two followers to follow Tang Monk to protect him in his journey to the west, plus an ordinary white horse."
Jiang Chi thought deeply, "If I become one of the followers, I can naturally follow Tang Monk, but in this way I will be completely exposed under the eyes of the big bosses in the world."
That won't work.
This plan can only be abandoned.
At least for Jiang Chi, this plan wasn't very good. Being a follower meant he was already in the center of the whirlpool.
"As a person hiding in the dark, I am not in the center of the whirlpool."
Jiang Que secretly said: "There are still dangers in this journey to the west, and the coefficient is very high. Not everyone is like Tang Monk or Sun Wukong."
If something goes wrong, then Western Heaven Buddhism and other gods and Buddhas might take action to clean things up.
If you don't do it right, there will be a lot of trouble.
"So, the followers still have to give up."
Jiang Que secretly said: "There is no way around this. My cultivation level is low and my strength is weak. If I don't hide it better, I may capsize."
It's not easy to come to such a high-level world of cultivation, and it's not easy to get a lot of benefits.
Naturally, he has some special thoughts in his heart, and he can't just run away if he encounters a big danger.
That won't work.
"You still need to think about it carefully."
How to achieve your goals is a very serious and important question.
Second-rate.
Clouds came and went, but in the end the sky was clear.
Since early in the morning, there have been people coming and going on the street, and it is very noisy. The vendors who are doing business have already gone to sell things.
And today.
It was Master Xuanzang of Jinshan Temple, the great happy son who presided over the Water and Land Dharma Assembly. From officials to nobles to common people, many people came to watch the fun.
They are very excited.
Rumor has it that His Majesty Li Er, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is also going to attend this water and land ceremony.
If you can catch a glimpse of the sky, if you can catch a glimpse of it, you will be happy for half a year, and it will become a topic of conversation before tea and after dinner.
This year.
Meeting the emperor is also a big event.
Under normal circumstances, there is no chance to see the emperor, nor is it possible to encounter such a being.
Therefore, there were many people going to see the water and land ceremony this time.
Of course.
Some gods and immortal cultivators from the Immortal Sect also came over.
Some are cautious, some are solemn, some are theatergoers, and some are indifferent.
In short.
There are all kinds of people.
Jiang Que hid his aura and pretended to be a member of the public watching the commotion.
He also ran out as soon as possible and occupied a favorable terrain position so that he could listen to the scriptures.
According to Jiang Chi's expectation, Master Xuanzang would definitely be able to gain some source power through his lectures and essays.
This is also good.
No matter how small the mosquito is, it doesn't matter.
Besides, it is a rare opportunity for Master Xuanzang to give lectures, so there is no harm in listening to them. It doesn’t matter.
Inside Chang'an.
Master Xuanzang was watching calmly and with keen eyes. This time he was going to take the stage to preside over the water and land ceremony.
At the same time, it is also a good opportunity to promote your own Dharma.
He has studied Buddhism for many years, and there are many kinds of sutras, teachings, etc. in it.
The people who listened to the lecture included not only those watching the show, but also people from the imperial court such as Li Er and some immortal monks.
Of course.
Monks in the Tang Dynasty were naturally unavoidable. When discussing the sutras, they had to do so in person.
Their gazes were intense and their expressions were radiant, as if there were infinitely many of them.
This time.
But it is a good opportunity to become famous. If you are lucky, you may become a famous monk.
However, they do not know the truth of all this, nor do they know what is going on.
If you had known that Buddhism was behind this Water and Land Dharma Assembly and single-handedly promoted Xuanzang, I wonder what you would think.
Jiang Qian found a safe and good corner position by himself and watched carefully.
His eyes were as bright as lightning, "This time, I want to hear clearly."
Although the sutras and meanings taught by Master Xuanzang are all Hinayana Buddhism, they are still Buddhist sutras and can yield some benefits.
He is looking forward to it.
Also very excited.
if……
It's nearly noon.
Master Xuanzang finally came slowly, surrounded by the monks of Jinshan Temple, and looked full of majesty.
He has a very bossy look.
Seeing this, Jiang Que was secretly happy, "It seems that Master Xuanzang's Buddhist theory is also very profound."
Somewhat capable.
He's a big shot.
It is indeed the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi.
His hidden aura makes him look like an ordinary person to outsiders.
To watch.
Master Xuanzang took the lead in leading the monks to save the soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe River.
certainly.
The salvation did not take much time. Later, Xuanzang himself lectured on the sutras and explained his understanding of the meaning of the Buddhist sutras.
This lecture lasts for an hour.
Finally, the highlight of this water and land ceremony came.
On the Scriptures.
Through Xuanzang's lectures on the Sutras, he had already felt the extraordinary meaning of the Sutras and also felt the benefits of the Sutras' meanings.
Jiang Que has indeed gained his original power, quite a bit.
"There are lectures on the scriptures, so there should be commentaries on the scriptures, right?"
Jiang Que thought in his mind, "In this way, I will be the one who benefits the most?"
No.
The one who has benefited the most is Buddhism.
They are the biggest beneficiaries.
"At best, I am the individual who benefits the most."
Jiang Que thought to himself, "Sure enough, it would be great to have a good follower."
If Xuanzang hadn't been the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, how could he have gained so many benefits?
Comparing people with each other makes people angry.
This is ultimately incomparable.
They are still very different. They are still very different.
Pity.
His Majesty Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty had already returned after Master Xuanzang's salvation was completed.
Only a few court officials were left.
He is the Emperor of Humanity, so he naturally knows about Buddhism's calculations, but he can't be stubborn now.
There is no chance to be tough.
Jiang Que's eyes were as bright as lightning, and the cold light was still sweeping over him, "Although I have benefited a lot from Master Xuanzang's lectures and discussions on the sutras, I still don't see how Buddhism can do this without fear of completely offending the Human Emperor?"
"Or is there some unknown transaction between them and the human race?"
In this opportunity for the great prosperity of Buddhism, only the human race will be lost.
From then on, the gods and Buddhas were deeply rooted in people's hearts, majestic and domineering, and at the same time, they were high and high.
Become an existence that everyone fears.
"However, my gains are also huge. I have gained a lot of source power. If I gain some more, I should be able to break through to the Great Perfection of the Earthly Immortal."
Jiang Que was very satisfied, "Before, I got some in Zhetian World and saved them up.
After that, he gained some original power from the Zhongzhou Immortal League and Tianmen in Qingxuan Continent.
For the purpose of accumulation.
leftover.
It’s still a little short of that, but I can get it in this world.”
Although, my cultivation level in the later stage of Immortal Realm is very low.
Even in this world, they can only be regarded as ants, not even cannon fodder.
Although he didn't know the cultivation level of Sun Wukong and others, he could tell from the grand scene of the entire Chang'an City and the distinction between world levels.
The level of this world is very high.
The immortal cultivators among them are also very powerful.
Their methods are numerous and endless.
"There are still too many strong people after all." Jiang Que secretly smiled bitterly, "In this case, I need to be stubborn from the beginning and keep stubborn until the end."
This is the true royal way.
After listening to Master Xuanzang and others' lectures and discussions on the Sutra, Jiang Chi felt happy in his heart, "At least, I gained a lot.
However, as Master Xuanzang’s sermon comes to an end, a big boss may also appear.”
In fact, Jiang Qian was also afraid that he would be seen out, and that he would be seen through by those big guys at a glance.
He has always been a boss-like existence, invincible in the world.
He is a big shot.
but now.
In this world, he, Jiang Chi, is just an ordinary person, an insignificant ant.
To put it bluntly, if it were possible, he would most likely be eaten up by those big guys until nothing was left of him.
"No, maybe there's no need for a big boss to come over. A monster might come over and devour me."
Jiang Que felt so helpless and depressed.
Don't know what to say.
"I don't know why those cultivators didn't come out to stop them?"
Jiang Que was a little confused, "Is it because of Jinshan Temple or Buddhism?"
The great rise of Buddhism is a destiny determined by heaven and earth and cannot be changed.
It can't be changed either.
It is normal for Xuanzang to travel to the west and become the Tang monk Tang Sanzang.
Even if someone jumped out to stop it, nothing could be changed. Even Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty gave in and compromised.
What about other people?
That's even more impossible.
Come to think of it, it's still a little weird.
"The journey to the west is inevitable, but in this process, the secrets of heaven are deceived, and even the powerful can't do anything."
Jiang Chi began to think, "And it is impossible for their spiritual consciousness to notice the few people traveling to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures anytime and anywhere.
And this is my opportunity.
Whether it's the monsters along the way, magic weapons, caves, heavens, paradise, etc., I can collect them all.
However, the places with the most exercises and so on should be the Heavenly Court, as well as the three Taoist religions and Western Buddhism.
Previously, I wanted to fish in troubled waters, which was certainly possible, but there was obviously not enough oil and water.
So, the best way is...
Go to heaven and become an immortal official."
This is best.
However, the problem came again.
If he went to heaven with his current strength, he might just be a heavenly soldier.
Centurion?
Or the Captain of Ten Thousands?
He doesn't know and isn't sure.
This road is also difficult to walk.
"The other way is to become a disciple of the four religions. This way, you will have enough opportunities and time to find the skills and obtain the original power of the world."
Jiang Que thought, "But the problem is that the Taoists and the Three Pure Ones have retreated, and it is basically difficult for the Taoists to find out. Considering my cultivation level in the late Immortal Realm, it may not be enough to see.
As for Western Buddhism, the practice can be seen in other ways.
Don’t be in a hurry.”
Think about it over and over again.
In the end, it seemed that the only option was to take the path of being an Immortal Official in Heaven.
After all, this is obvious, and if you are lucky, you can get a promotion.
It's just that my cultivation level is not high, so I can only start from a small heavenly soldier.
Or a minor god.
"Sure enough, any calculation without strength will be in vain."
Jiang Que was depressed, "Because there is not enough power to execute it, and there is no strong strength to operate it, naturally it is meaningless.
However, I still have to continue, I can just be a heavenly soldier first."
As long as he can go to heaven, he will have the opportunity to obtain skills, obtain spells, and thus obtain original power.
Then break through.
Repeating this cycle over and over can form a good cycle.
At this moment.
While Jiang Que was thinking, a monk and a monk slowly walked in from outside.
