Chapter 270: Observing Tang Seng's Master and Disciple
Tang Seng finally returned to his hometown after going through untold hardships.
He traveled all the way to the west, went through ninety-nine-eighty-one hardships, and traveled 108,000 miles. He finally achieved perfection of merit and retrieved countless Mahayana Buddhist scriptures.
As soon as Tang Seng returned to the Tang Dynasty, he was warmly welcomed by Li Shimin. Li Shimin could never forget that fourteen years ago, he was summoned to the underworld. The ghosts of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji haunted him, as well as countless souls who died under his sword.
Now that the Tang monk retrieved the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures and was able to save all these dead souls, why is Li Shimin not happy? Moreover, Li Shimin is very talented. In fact, he is not interested in the ghosts and ghosts of Buddhist scriptures. Instead, he keeps asking about the customs and customs of Tang monks along the way.
In the vagueness, Li Shimin regarded Tang Seng as his own Zhang Qian. Emperor Wu of Han sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions to find out the situation in the Western Regions. In the end, the Han Dynasty included the Western Regions under its own rule and established the Western Regions Protectorate. And Li Shimin also wanted to find out the situation on the way to Tianzhu, to see if he could expand the territory for the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin took another look at the three "high apprentices" of the Tang monks, one with a hairy face and Lei Gongzui, who claimed to be the great sage Monkey King, who is now named the Western Paradise of Bliss Fighting Victory Buddha; , count him the most to eat. He claimed to be Marshal Tianpeng and cast a pig's fetus, named Zhu Ganghye, and Tang monk named him Zhu Bajie, and now he is named the messenger of the Western world.
Li Shimin didn't see how this Zhu Bajie looked like Marshal Tianpeng, but the messenger of Jingtan was real. If he had such a big belly, if he went out to eat, he was afraid that even the wealthy Tang Dynasty would not be able to support him.
Li Shimin couldn't help but secretly complained in his heart, the Western Paradise is really rich, and the Buddha is really a robber who will not refuse anyone who comes. If such a person is recruited into Lingshan, he is not afraid of eating Lingshan poor. He temple monks Hungry belly.
Then there is the self-proclaimed Sha Wujing Tou Tuo, who boasted that he was the rolling blind general of the former Jade Emperor. As soon as he heard this, Li Shimin knew what this thing was. The rolling shutter generals, like the Han generals in the Li Tang Dynasty, were all mascots and mascots for the emperor.
It's no wonder that Sha Wujing abandoned Heavenly Court and went to Lingshan.
And this Tang monk also has a horse, which is said to be the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea. This white dragon horse turned into a human form is very handsome, but Li Shimin has a subtle feeling in his heart when he thinks that he has been ridden by the Tang monk for 108,000 miles.
As an emperor, Li Shimin is very discerning, but knowing that Buddhism is pure and pure is the most ingenious. The abbot's night meeting with the master, that was the time of the 480th temple in the Southern Dynasty. Nowadays, it is popular for old monks to follow the path of young monks. It is said that the fat people in this temple are most popular with farmers, because they are all tamed by the old monks. The porcelain is solid a lot. A load of fat in the temple can top two load of fat for ordinary people.
In this way, this handsome little white dragon, along the way, was it possible that Master Xuanzang had been riding during the day and at night, and he was very intimate?
Li Shimin didn't know that, if Sun Wukong knew about his filthy thoughts, he would angrily pull out the Ruyi golden hoop, smash his Tianling cover, and then say "I haven't tried my best, you will fall down".
Li Shimin slandered several of Tang Seng's apprentices, but with a smile on his face, making Tang Seng's master and apprentice like a spring breeze, like a polite corporal, he kept asking about the customs of Tianzhu to see if there was a way to include the land of Tianzhu. Tang's territory.
Seeing that Li Shimin was blindly asking about human geography and not about Buddhism, Tang monk finally couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, is this about translating Buddhist scriptures?"
Li Shimin said, "Don't panic, my younger brother, I have already ordered people to build a Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Chang'an City to store Mahayana Buddhist scriptures. The wild goose travels south, but returns home, isn't it just like the royal brother to study scriptures in the west and return to his hometown?"
When Tang Seng heard the words, he was moved, and thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trouble."
At this moment, an eunuch announced: "His Royal Highness is here!"
Li Shimin frowned, thinking in his mind why this renegade son is here at this time, but he couldn't neglect the crown prince of a country, and immediately said, "Please come in, the prince!"
"I have seen the emperor." After Ye Qing came in, he gave a casual salute. For him, it was already because of Li Shimin's reputation as the emperor of the ages.
It is also because Ye Qing's potential points are as many as 90 billion, all of which are sage cultivation bases, which should be enough to suppress this world, but Li Chengqian's foundation is too weak to add all potential points in one go. In the mysterious world of Shenbing, Nangong Hopeless and the Blood-Drinking Demon Knife merged into one. With the Demon Soldier bearing it, Ye Qingcai added all the cultivation bases of Daluo Jinxian in one breath.
In this journey to the west, Li Chengqian has no magic weapons or magical powers, and rashly increasing his strength will only cause Li Chengqian to explode and die.
Insufficient strength, had to dormant temporarily.
"Chengqian, what are you doing here?" Seeing Ye Qing's lack of proper etiquette, Li Shimin was slightly sullen and said a little rudely.
Ye Qing smiled and said, "I heard that Master Xuanzang brought a few apprentices with strange shapes, and came to see them."
Li Shimin's face darkened.
Tang Seng's master and apprentice's faces also darkened.
What is a "weird apprentice"? Is this term too insulting?
"Prince of the Tang Dynasty, are you saying that my old Sun has a strange shape?" Sun Wukong was the first one who couldn't stand it and jumped out and said.
When Ye Qing saw the monkey head, he immediately laughed and said, "But Sun Wukong, the great sage of the sky?"
Sun Wukong was taken aback: "Do you recognize my old grandson?"
Ye Qing said: "The golden monkey has divided the sticks and clarified the Yuyu Wanli. When Sun Dasheng made a big havoc in the Tiangong five hundred years ago, he was so unrestrained and happy, how can he convert to Buddhism now, and do what he did to defeat the Buddha. Alas, in the past The Great Sage Equalling Heaven is now a Buddhist monkey head, which is a sigh and a sigh."
Sun Wukong, however, looked at Li Chengqian with fiery eyes, and immediately calmed down, saying: "The big disasters caused by ignorance in the past are not worth it, but now I protect Master Sanzang from the west to study the scriptures. Come here, what can I ask you?"
"I used to have it, but after seeing you, it's gone, Sun Wukong, farewell! See you in the future." Ye Qing said, turning her head away.
Sun Wukong watched Ye Qing leave, his face uncertain.
All the people present felt inexplicable.
Tang Seng asked, "Wu Kong, what is the meaning of this Prince's remarks with you?"
Sun Wukong let out a long sigh: "His Royal Highness is not simple, my old grandson saw his deep breath and looked after him with fiery eyes. Unexpectedly, he didn't see his previous life or the next life at all. , is the image of a saint."
"The image of a saint?" Li Shimin was surprised. He had seen the great powers of Sun Wukong. He said that Li Chengqian was the image of a saint, which surprised Li Shimin.
At the same time, a certain idea in Li Shimin's heart became firmer.
