"Tang Sanzang, are you ready to go to Xitian as an envoy?"
Only then did Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva speak again and confirm the truth to him.
"Disciple has made a great wish, and I hope the Bodhisattva will grant it!"
After hearing this, the Bodhisattva nodded kindly.
But while I was satisfied, I couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Regarding the identity of Tang Sanzang, Bodhisattva is naturally familiar with it.
He was the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi and was a man destined to learn scriptures. He was also a beloved disciple of Tathagata Buddha.
In the past five hundred years, he went to Lingshan Mountain in the West on the orders of the emperors of the Eastern Land, just to change his destiny against heaven.
But he passed through nine lives, and finally died tragically in Liusha River, at the hands of the Jade Emperor's cronies.
In this life, he came to Chang'an City again without any surprise, and became a Buddha in the physical body.
Not only did he kill the nine-headed dragon sent by the Heavenly Court, he also beheaded the Dragon King of Jinghe River, and even used the blood of a saint to awaken the Xuanyuan Sword, causing the heaven to be destroyed!
But this series of variables were not within the plans of the Buddhas in the West...
Could it be said that his previous life's practice has been awakened in advance?
Or are there other unknown forces hidden behind him?
Many questions flashed through the Bodhisattva's eyes, but they were nothing to worry about for the time being.
Just because she has other things to do now.
"Tang Sanzang, since you have such great ambitions, I am very pleased!"
"Today I will give you two Buddhist treasures, which can be used for self-defense on the road."
Many questions flashed through the eyes of the Bodhisattva, but they were out of the question because there were other things to do now.
As he spoke, the Bodhisattva pointed his fingers lightly.
Following her movement, the brocade cassock and the nine-ring tin staff held in Muzha's hands flew towards Tang Sanzang with the Buddha's light in them.
Under the will of the Bodhisattva, the brocade cassock was draped all over Tang Sanzang's body.
The holy Buddha's light overflows from the cassock, and the fairy beads and Buddhist treasures embellished in it shine brightly, blocking the bleak wind and rain, and blocking out all unclean and resentful atmosphere.
When you take the nine-ring tin staff, you will immediately hear the sound of Sanskrit, just like a crowd of monks reciting a supreme sutra.
At this moment, Tang Sanzang's eyes were full of anger, as if a holy Buddha had come to this world, and people couldn't help but worship him!
"Thank you Bodhisattva for the treasure!"
Feeling the powerful Buddhist power from these two magic weapons, Tang Sanzang was overjoyed and immediately thanked them.
"Amitabha, my mission has been accomplished!"
"Tang Sanzang, go west! The day you return to Lingshan will be the time when Buddhism and the Tang Empire will form an alliance!"
"In addition, there are thirty-five Mahayana Buddhist scriptures in the Western Heaven. You can also take them back by then to help the people of the Tang Dynasty!"
After leaving these words, Guanyin Bodhisattva and Muzha immediately turned into a ray of Buddha's light and dissipated in the sky.
But Tang Sanzang, who originally looked calm, suddenly lost his composure.
What?
Didn’t I go to Xitian this time to obtain the true scripture? Why did it suddenly become an alliance?
But the so-called learning of scriptures has become incidental! ?
For a moment, he suddenly felt that his world view of Journey to the West had collapsed...
"Brother Yu, what's wrong? Are you frightened?"
Seeing Tang Sanzang's astonished face, Li Shimin smiled.
"Your Majesty is laughing. I just feel a little reluctant to leave when I think about going west soon."
Tang Sanzang calmed down for a while, but he still felt a headache.
It’s really evil!
From entering Chang'an to now, why hasn't anything happened according to the script?
"Your Majesty, can you tell me what the alliance between Eastern Earth and the Tang Dynasty and Western Heaven is all about?"
With this doubt, Tang Sanzang asked again.
"There are many people here with mixed opinions. Please invite the holy monk to come into the hall with me to discuss in detail!"
As he spoke, Li Shimin glanced around.
Now there is no war in Chang'an, and the soldiers who were killed and injured in the war have also been saved by the Bodhisattva's supreme Dharma.
This catastrophe that determined the fate of the Tang Dynasty finally came to a successful end.
For this reason, the officials and soldiers gathered in the Daming Palace dispersed one after another. Tang Sanzang also entered the palace at the invitation of Li Shimin...
At the same time, after Guanshiyin Bodhisattva left, he did not return to Lingshan to resume his life. Instead, he rode on the Buddha's brilliance and went in another direction.
"Master, where are we going?"
Muzha asked with some confusion as he watched the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas rushing past his feet.
"Of course it's the Five Elements Mountain."
The Bodhisattva said, "Now that the Human Emperor has come to the world and the Tang Dynasty has risen, the Demon Emperor who has been suppressed by Buddhism for five hundred years should also see the light of day again!"
"However, that monster monkey is unruly and untamable. If he is released from the foot of Five Elements Mountain, I'm afraid there will be trouble again."
After hearing this, Muzha had a trace of worry in his eyes.
"It doesn't matter. Now the Three Realms are facing changes that have not happened in a thousand years. With the presence of the monster monkey, the future world of great strife will be more fun!"
At this point, Mu Zha no longer asked any more questions.
After a while, five towering mountains appeared in front of them.
For a moment, demonic winds rose all around, and bursts of horrifying ape calls echoed throughout the mountains and fields...
Daming Palace, inside the Imperial Study Room.
At this time, a huge map of overseas Chinese and barbarians was presented in front of Li Shimin and Tang Sanzang.
The map is about ten feet square and depicts in detail every continent, every country, and every mountain, river, lake, and sea in the world.
On the map, a route from the Eastern Tang Dynasty to the Western Tianling Mountain was specially marked.
"Brother Yu, what do you see on this map?"
At this time, Li Shimin asked meaningfully.
"Your Majesty, I have seen the entire human world."
To this, Tang Sanzang answered truthfully.
"No, no, no, my dear brother, you are blind."
But Li Shimin shook his head, "This is not only the human world, but also the territory of the future Datang Empire!"
After hearing this, Tang Sanzang was shocked.
Judging from Li Shimin's intentions, could he really intend to dominate the world?
But wouldn't this mean a full-scale war with Heaven?
"On the shores of the land, could it be the king's ministers? In the whole world, could it be the king's land! As a human emperor, how can I only be satisfied with a corner of the eastern land?"
"My ambition is to restore the glory of the Emperor Xin era, bring the entire human world into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and become the legendary Celestial Kingdom!"
At this moment, Li Shimin unreservedly revealed his imperial ambitions!
"If we want to realize this ambition, we must first completely drive out the forces of heaven from the human world, let mortals control their own destiny, and no longer obey the gods!"
"But the road to this hegemony is long and difficult. With the power of the Tang Dynasty, it cannot go far enough to shake the rule of Heaven."
"That's why I need you to go to the West as an envoy to deliver the covenant. Only by uniting the power of the Buddhas in Lingshan can we truly compete with Heaven!"
Li Shimin clarified the true intention of Xitian's Buddhist scriptures, which also made Tang Sanzang frown deeply.
The so-called journey to the west is no longer just a matter of a few scriptures, but a struggle for hegemony between Lingshan and Heaven in the Tang Dynasty!
But Li Shimin wanted to rule the world, so why did the Buddhas in the Western Heavens generously help him?
Could it be that the relationship between Xitian Lingshan and Heavenly Court is also the same?
Regarding this issue, Li Shimin also immediately revealed the cause and effect...
