Chapter 427: Two Treasures for Free

"Why are these two treasures so expensive?"

"If they were only 20 or 30 taels, I would have taken them. I didn't expect you to ask for 5,000 taels, and one for each."

After hearing the price of the treasures offered by Guanyin Bodhisattva, this person couldn't help but say.

"For someone like you who has no Buddha in your heart, 10,000 taels is already a low price for my cassock and Zen staff."

"If someone who has Buddha in his heart wears my cassock, it can protect him from sinking, falling into hell, suffering from evil, and encountering tigers and wolves."

"If there is no Buddha in his heart, it won't have any effect if he wears it."

Guanyin Bodhisattva saw at a glance that this monk was just a monk who was cheating people with this title.

So when Guanyin Bodhisattva talked to him, he didn't even raise his eyes, and didn't bother to communicate with him at all.

"You, you!"

After the monk's behavior was exposed by Guanyin Bodhisattva, he pointed at Guanyin Bodhisattva with trembling hands, and kept saying "you".

The monk was very angry and wanted to get angry, but because he was wrong first, after pointing at Guanyin Bodhisattva a few times.

Found that people around him began to point fingers at him, he could only angrily shake his sleeves and leave here in disgrace.

"Go ask that monk why he sold these two things so expensively."

At this time, the prime minister who passed by here heard the conversation between Guanyin Bodhisattva and the fake monk and felt a little curious, so he asked his men to find out the situation.

"My two treasures have their advantages and disadvantages. There are reasons why he wants money and reasons why he doesn't want money."

After hearing the guard's question, Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and answered.

"Master, I have probably heard the advantages and disadvantages you just mentioned, but what about the reason you said that there is a reason to ask for money and a reason not to ask for money? What's going on?"

"Can you tell me about it?"

At this time, the prime minister also came over and asked Guanyin Bodhisattva with a curious tone.

"If you encounter a monk with evil thoughts, no Buddha in his heart, and no respect for Buddhism, I must sell him my cassock and the Zen stick for 10,000 taels of silver."

"If you encounter a monk with good thoughts, Buddha in his heart, and respect for Buddhism, I am willing to give these two treasures to him."

After hearing the prime minister's question, Guanyin Bodhisattva slowly began to answer his questions.

"Master, I have a favor to ask you for. Our emperor has a kind heart, and almost all the civil and military officials in the court are like him."

"Today our emperor held a Buddhist conference to promote Buddhism, but the monk Jiang Liuer who presided over the conference did not have any good cassocks."

"I would like to ask you to enter the palace and buy these cassocks and Zen sticks for Jiang Liuer."

After hearing what Guanyin Bodhisattva said, the prime minister immediately thought of the monk who presided over the conference to promote Buddhism. Jiang Liuer did not have a decent cassock.

So he thought of bringing Guanyin Bodhisattva and his two treasures into the palace together, letting the emperor take a look first. If the emperor is satisfied, he will buy these cassocks and Zen sticks and give them to Jiang Liuer.

"Okay!"

After hearing the prime minister's request, Guanyin Bodhisattva calmly agreed to his request.

Then Chang Xiang led the way in front, and Guanyin followed behind him, all the way into the palace, and came to the gate of the emperor's bedroom.

After the prime minister came here with Guanyin, the eunuch hurried into the house and told the emperor that the prime minister came here to ask for an audience.

"The prime minister is so anxious to find me, there must be something, I will go to see him first."

At this time, the emperor was annoyed by the things under his hands. When he heard the news that the prime minister came here, he felt a little angry at first.

He felt that the prime minister came to disturb him at this time, which was really a bit of a mess, but he quickly realized that the prime minister must have something to do with him.

Then the emperor sent the eunuch to invite the prime minister and Guanyin in.

"Your Majesty, when I was coming back today, I happened to meet this monk selling a Zen stick and a cassock."

"I thought these two treasures could be given to Jiang Liuer to use, so I brought this monk to see you and wanted to hear your opinion."

The prime minister reported the news to the emperor as soon as he saw the door of the emperor's bedroom.

"What is the price of that cassock and that Zen stick?"

After hearing the prime minister's words, Emperor Taizong of Tang was very happy, so he asked Guanyin Bodhisattva about the price of these two treasures.

"This cassock and this Zen stick are both five thousand taels."

After hearing what Emperor Taizong of Tang said, Guanyin Bodhisattva replied neither servile nor arrogant.

"I don't know why this cassock and Zen stick are worth this price?"

After hearing the price of the cassock and Zen stick, Emperor Taizong of Tang was really shocked, and immediately asked why they were sold so expensively.

Guanyin Bodhisattva did not waste time and directly told him why the cassock and the Zen staff were so expensive.

"I wonder why your majesty bought this cassock and the Zen staff."

Then, Guanyin Bodhisattva asked Emperor Taizong of Tang about his purpose in buying these two treasures.

"To be honest, elder, I bought these two treasures to give to Master Xuanzang, who is well versed in Buddhism and a monk with great virtue."

Tang Taizong did not hide his purpose and told Guanyin Bodhisattva directly why he bought these two treasures.

"Since he is such a monk, I am willing to give these two treasures to him without asking for a penny."

After knowing who Tang Taizong wanted to give these two treasures to, Guanyin Bodhisattva found that it was the person he wanted to give the treasures to.

Guanyin Bodhisattva immediately said that he could not ask for a penny for these two treasures.

After saying that, he left the hall directly.

After seeing this scene, Tang Taizong hurriedly got up to keep him, but he found that no matter how he chased Guanyin Bodhisattva's back, he seemed unable to get close to him.

Then Tang Taizong had to give up the transfer, and the prime minister gave the two treasures to Master Xuanzang, asking him to wear them before attending tomorrow's meeting and preaching to everyone.

After the prime minister responded, he took the two treasures to find Master Xuanzang.

After handing the two treasures to Master Xuanzang, he left.

The next day, Master Xuanzang appeared on the stage of the conference wearing the two treasures and began to explain Buddhism to everyone.

"Your Buddhism is just Hinayana Buddhism. It cannot save the dead and cannot make them ascend to heaven."
