The two heavenly masters Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang stopped staying, got up and said goodbye to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and went directly back to Longhu Mountain.
The status of the two people in the prosperous Tang Dynasty was naturally very high. Yuan Tiangang's uncle Yuan Shoucheng even dared to make a bet with the Jinghe Dragon King, which eventually led to the Jinghe Dragon King being beheaded by Wei Zheng in his dream.
But in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the two of them are juniors, and they are inferior to Guanyin Bodhisattva regardless of their status.
Therefore, Guanyin Bodhisattva asked them to return to Longhu Mountain to practice Taoism with great concentration. The two of them did not dare to complain.
Because Guanyin Bodhisattva is their master, the Dragon and Tiger Taoist priests have to give three points of courtesy to the Daluo Jinxian who exists at the pinnacle of heaven.
Emperor Li of the Tang Dynasty saw his two heavenly masters leaving and wanted to persuade them to stay, but when he saw Guanyin Bodhisattva, he fell silent.
He believed in the Taoist Celestial Masters, simply because he believed that Taoism could ensure the prosperous and prosperous Tang Dynasty for thousands of years. The two great Celestial Masters could also refine some elixirs for him to extend his life.
But the strength of these two great heavenly masters is limited after all, and the so-called ancestors of the Sanqing Dynasty have never manifested themselves.
It is impossible to prove whether the Sanqing Patriarch exists.
But this Guanyin Bodhisattva, as the most proud general of Tathagata Buddha, has now appeared in the world. Doesn’t this mean that there is really a living Bodhisattva in the world who can save suffering?
If he could be ranked on the list of Western Heaven Tathagata, wouldn't the prosperous Tang Dynasty become even more powerful?
Emperor Li of the Tang Dynasty planned to abandon Taoism and believe in Buddhism, so he did not try to retain the two heavenly masters.
"You all get up."
Guanyin Bodhisattva discovered Tang Emperor Li's unintentional little move, and her expression showed that she was very satisfied.
The Queen and other civil and military ministers, led by Tang Emperor Li, stood up one after another, looking at the solemn Guanyin Bodhisattva in the sky with excitement.
"I wonder if the Bodhisattva's dharma body came to the prosperous Tang Dynasty. What kind of instructions can he have?" Emperor Li of the Tang Dynasty clasped his hands together with a pious look on his face.
"My Buddha is compassionate. Today, in the four major continents of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, only Hinayana Buddhism is spread in the world. However, although this Hinayana Buddhism is profound, it cannot transcend the souls of those who died in the past."
Guanyin Bodhisattva pretended to pinch her fingers, looked at Emperor Tang and sighed.
"Bodhisattva, what can we do to save those dead souls?" Emperor Tang Li asked nervously.
"I have the Tripitaka of Mahayana Buddhism, which can save the souls of the dead." Guanyin Bodhisattva pinched the fingers of his right hand and said softly.
Tang Emperor Li's face showed excitement, "Bodhisattva, I wonder where the Mahayana Buddhism is."
"In the Western Tianzhu Kingdom, I am the Tathagata Buddha at the Great Thunder Sound Temple."
"How to get it?" Emperor Tang Li asked.
"It takes a man with a firm mind to go to the West on foot to seek the true scriptures. However, this journey is more than a thousand miles. It requires a monk with a firm mind, wholeheartedly devoted to the Buddha, and high morals and respect." Guanyin Bodhisattva said, looking at it intentionally or unintentionally. Yelong.
Ye Long lowered his eyelids and pretended that he had not heard Guanyin Bodhisattva's words. He would definitely not jump out. This made him look too disrespectful.
"Who is willing to follow the decree and go to the West to obtain the true scriptures?"
Emperor Tang Li didn't care if anyone could persist. In his opinion, someone must go! This is the key to whether or not the dead souls in the underworld can be transcended.
There are no longer a few monks in the Water and Land Conference dojo, most of them are monks with high moral character, otherwise they would not be selected to participate in the Water and Land Conference.
But as soon as they heard that they needed to walk to the west... everyone felt a little bit sick.
Under the questioning of Tang Emperor Li, all the monks took a step back.
At this time, Ye Long stood out.
Tang Emperor Li's eyes lit up and he quickly walked up to Ye Long and saluted quickly, "I wonder if Master Xuanzang is willing to go?"
There is naturally a reason why Tang Emperor Li chose Ye Long. First of all, regardless of whether Chen Xuanzang is Ye Long or not, it is true that his Buddhist teachings are profound.
Secondly, just now the two heavenly masters Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were about to expose Chen Xuanzang's identity, but they were stopped by the Bodhisattva who suddenly visited and forced the two heavenly masters away. Because this Chen Xuanzang is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, a disciple of Buddha! Originally a disciple of Buddha. It’s a perfect time to go to the West to obtain the true scriptures.
.
"Um... Your Majesty, the road to seek scriptures is long and there are all kinds of demons and ghosts. Although the poor monk has firm faith, he is still a mortal body. I am afraid that he will be poisoned by demons and ghosts. He will definitely fail him when the time comes. Entrusted by the Tang Emperor."
Ye Long's tone was a little sad and helpless.
He knew that he would accept some disciples, but he had to pretend to be in difficulty, so that Emperor Tang Li would think that it was really not easy for him, very difficult.
"Holy Monk, I have countless capable ministers and generals. If the Holy Monk is willing to go, I can choose any of my generals." Emperor Li of the Tang Dynasty held Ye Long's hand, his eyes flashing. If you don't know, , I thought Tang Emperor Li’s hobbies were a little different.
"Chen Xuanzang, you have to go through many tribulations on the way to obtain the scriptures before you can obtain the true scriptures and achieve righteous attainment. On the way, you will also accept a few disciples, and these disciples can also ensure that you go to the West to obtain the true scriptures. "
At this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva also spoke.
She felt that Chen Xuanzang was a little weird! Logically speaking, after Tang Emperor Li proposed it, Chen Xuanzang should have agreed immediately.
But she stared at Chen Xuanzang for a long time, and the doubts in her heart were finally dispelled, because she felt the exquisite Buddhist Dharma in Chen Xuanzang.
That should be the Dharma carried by Jin Chanzi in his reincarnation.
As everyone knows, this is a Buddhist method that Ye Long has cultivated himself. Although the attack power is not strong, it is still very useful in confusing and shocking people.
"That poor monk is not talented, but he is willing to work like a dog and horse to obtain the true scriptures for Your Majesty, to save the souls of the dead, and to protect our king forever. But it is like this, Sister Guanyin, if there is a monster that wants to eat the poor monk, The poor monk could only follow the example of his ancestors and cut his flesh to feed the eagles in order to protect himself."
Ye Long clasped his hands together, looking upright and kind.
Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned and cut the meat to feed the eagle? Do you know that you are the golden cicada? If a mortal eats a mouthful of meat, he can fly to immortality and live forever. If an immortal or bodhisattva eats it, he can survive the catastrophe unharmed and increase his longevity. That piece of meat is so precious. !
However, Guanyin Bodhisattva could not tell Ye Long. After all, the golden cicada had not yet awakened, so she could forgive Ye Long's ignorant words.
"The Holy Monk and the Master really understand the righteousness. Today I am willing to sworn sworn brothers with the Holy Monk and the Master as brothers of the opposite sex!"
In order to be firmly tied to the Buddhist chariot and establish a good friendship with Buddhism, Emperor Li of the Tang Dynasty actually proposed to sworn sworn brother Ye Long.
Guanyin Bodhisattva is naturally happy to see this situation.
Buddhism has been traveling to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. The only purpose is to promote Buddhism and deepen the status of Buddhism in the human race. When the time comes, it will be used to seek human religion. The reincarnation of this golden cicada can be sworn to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty. It will be of no harm to Buddhism!
Naturally, Ye Long and Tang Emperor Li became brothers of the opposite sex in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and were given the surname Tang.
And Emperor Li of the Tang Dynasty was also a holy monk.
The happiest person is naturally Princess Gaoyang.
But the only thing that made her uncomfortable was that Chen Xuanzang suddenly became his father's younger brother! Wouldn't he call him uncle when he saw him?
If the two of them were together, that would be too... shameful, right?
This was also her regret. If she wanted to marry Chen Xuanzang, it might not be possible.
But it doesn't matter, her goal is more than that. If Chen Xuanzang is on her side, that would be the best.
"My dear holy monk, thank you for your hard work!"
Emperor Tang Li held Ye Long's hand with tears in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, when this poor monk leaves, he will definitely ask for the true scriptures. Even if he sacrifices his life, he will not give up until he reaches the Western Heaven! If he does not reach the Western Heaven, he will not get the true scriptures, he will not dare to return to his country, and he will fall into the eighteenth level of hell forever!"
Ye Long said with a serious face.
Emperor Tang Li looked stunned for a moment, then a look of excitement flashed across his face.
The poisonous oath sworn by this holy monk is too poisonous.
He has traveled around the underworld, and even the horrors of the underworld, not to mention the Yinshan Hell, even the dead souls on the Naihe Bridge, can scare people.
Half dead.
What about the evil ghosts in the eighteen levels of hell?
Falling into the eighteenth level of hell was something he couldn't even imagine.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva also had a smile on her face, looking at Ye Long and thinking, she finally tasted like a golden cicada.
"Tang Xuanzang, please come forward."
Guanyin Bodhisattva held the mutton-fat jade bottle in his hand and looked at Tang Monk with a smile.
"Okay, Sister Guanyin."
Ye Long walked forward and stared at Guanyin Bodhisattva with twinkling eyes. At this time, observing closely, Guanyin Bodhisattva looked even more holy and solemn.
The words "Sister Guanyin" made Ye Long reveal his true colors again. She snorted coldly and pointed at Hui'an Walker.
"This is the nine-ring tin staff and the brocade cassock. The nine-ring tin staff is made of nine links made of tung inlaid with iron. The nine sections of the fairy will stay forever and will not be stained by the world... And the brocade cassock is dressed in red mist. Wrapped all over..."
"Amitabha, Sister Guanyin, please tell me whether these two things are given to disciples."
Ye Long directly interrupted Guanyin Bodhisattva's long speech.
Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was originally very excited, almost choked up and spit out what Ye Long said.
Aren't I just going to introduce these two magical weapons given by the Buddha? Is it necessary to interrupt me? How much time can you waste?
"Since you have spoken, I will give it to you. When you encounter danger, you can hold a tin staff and wear a cassock to keep you safe."
Guanyin Bodhisattva said, and then motioned to Dragon Girl and Hui'an Walker.
Dragon Girl and Hui'an Walker floated forward and landed on the ground.
However, this dragon girl's face has always remained rosy, which makes people puzzled. Could it be that she is born with fair skin and rosy skin?
Ye Long also came over, first putting on a brocade cassock, and then holding a tin staff.
He always looked very virtuous and respected, but now he looked more like a holy monk wearing cassocks and a tin staff.
Ye Long was wearing a brocade cassock, touching left and right, feeling happy in his heart.
Because the fabric of this brocade cassock felt like a woman's skin, it reminded Ye Long of some gossip circulated by a certain woman in this world.
Perhaps this brocade cassock is actually the personal and intimate garment of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
"This is the purple gold alms bowl, used for fasting on the road." Guanyin Bodhisattva saw Ye Long touching the brocade cassock. Although her face was calm, she felt a little uncomfortable inside. She quickly reached out and pointed, and the purple gold alms bowl appeared in Ye Long's right hand.
At this time, Ye Long, with the tin staff in his left hand and the alms bowl in his right hand, could no longer explore the secret of the brocade cassock.
"My mission has been completed, now I'm going back."
Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Tang Emperor Li, then at Ye Long, and finally left with Xiangyun.
"Best regards to Guanyin Bodhisattva!"
Emperor Tang Li and others knelt down on their knees again and shouted loudly.
"Sister Guanyin, come again next time, I will miss you!"
Only Ye Long, a highly respected holy monk, waved his hand towards Guanyin Bodhisattva and shouted excitedly.
His shouts made the people kneeling on the ground almost crawl to the ground. How could he be so fierce?
The back of Guanyin Bodhisattva also staggered and almost fell down.
...
"Congratulations to my holy monk, my younger brother!"
"Amitabha."
"Holy monk, my dear brother, this journey of learning scriptures is very difficult, but if we succeed, we will definitely achieve the right results."
"Amitabha."
In Yunju Temple and Ye Long's Zen room, there was an endless stream of people coming and going, all coming to congratulate Ye Long.
And Ye Long didn't want to pay attention to these people, so he just said "Amitabha" to them.
The sky finally darkened, and the people who came to congratulate were finally gone!
In the Zen room, there were only a few of Ye Long's former friends.
Princess Gaoyang, Fan Lihua, Xiantong Kou and several ladies from wealthy clans.
Nani? Why are they all pinched by women? Because these women have Buddha in their hearts, they often discuss Buddhism with Ye Long.
high
Not to mention Princess Yang, she basically lived in Yunju Temple and would discuss Buddhism with Ye Long from time to time, and the discussions were in-depth.
Fan Lihua is a disciple of Mother Lishan. Although Mother Lishan is an official in heaven, she is very close to Buddhism.
Therefore, Fan Lihua not only practices Taoism, but also practices Buddhism.
Ye Long was a famous mage in the prosperous Tang Dynasty with profound Buddhist teachings. Fan Lihua began to contact Ye Long and discussed Buddhism with Ye Long under the introduction of Princess Gaoyang. The two became good friends.
And this Fan Lihua was an enemy of the Tang Dynasty more than ten years ago. Later, she was recruited by the Tang Dynasty and became a female military general of the Tang Dynasty.
Ye Long glanced at Fan Lihua inadvertently, and he felt relieved. Fan Lihua was still a baby and was obviously not with Xue Dingshan.
And her level actually reached level 80. I didn't expect that her cultivation level had grown so fast in just over ten years.
At level eighty, he is already very powerful under the Earth Immortal.
And this fairy boy is a disciple of the Holy Mother of Yellow Flowers. All the female immortals among the loose immortals in the three realms are under the jurisdiction of the Queen Mother of the West of Kunlun. Naturally, the Queen Mother of the Yellow Flowers is also under the control of the Queen Mother of the West.
However, since the Lich Tribulation, the Queen Mother of the West has been hiding in the Kunlun Mountains and has never been born again. This world of female immortals has lost its backbone.
Since the rise of Buddhism, the Yellow Flower Madonna has been close to Buddhism. Although she has not officially joined Buddhism, she just doesn't want to be known as a traitor.
Therefore, like Fan Lihua, this fairy boy not only practiced Taoism, but also studied Buddhism.
Of course, he became Ye Long's confidant.
As for those beautiful princesses, to put it bluntly, they were the cover-ups brought by Princess Gaoyang!
Otherwise, wouldn't it make others suspicious if she, a princess, always looks for Ye Long?
"Didn't you expect that you suddenly became the emperor's younger brother? Gao Yang would have to call him uncle from time to time when he saw the mage again?"
Princess Gao Yang sat opposite Ye Long, rolled her eyes at Ye Long, and said softly.
"Amitabha, Princess, you can do whatever you want." Ye Long said seriously, not squinting at Princess Gaoyang's half of the mountain peaks.
"Holy monk, I want to go to the West with you to obtain the true scriptures." Fan Lihua said suddenly, her eyes full of determination.
"ah?"
Ye Long looked at Fan Lihua in surprise.
What's going on? You actually want to follow him to the West?
"Lihua, you actually want to go to the Western Heaven? Why is that? Then you will have to go through many tribulations to study in the Western Heaven, and it will be a difficult journey!"
Fairy Boy Kou also asked in surprise.
Even if you wholeheartedly worship the Buddha, you can’t go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, right?
"I have made my decision. I wonder if the holy monk will agree to it." Fan Lihua nodded and her eyes fell on Ye Long.
"General Fan devotes his whole heart to the Buddha. I am very relieved. When we set out tomorrow, the poor monk will be in front of Your Majesty to ask for the general's orders." Ye Long said calmly.
His face was calm, but he was smiling inside.
I was worried that I would leave the prosperous Tang Dynasty and have no chance to capture Fan Lihua. I didn't expect that Fan Lihua would actually ask for help!
On the way to seek Buddhist scriptures, not only will there be female fairies, but also female generals. Now I will no longer be lonely!
"Thank you, Holy Monk." A hint of joy flashed across Fan Lihua's face.
As for why she went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, no one knows.
"Shi Yuan, I will definitely help you complete the journey to the West, achieve righteousness, and avenge you!" Fan Lihua swore in her heart.
It turns out that Fan Lihua was originally a disciple of Mother Lishan, and she was the reincarnation of the Jade Girl next to the Jade Emperor.
After entering the world and experiencing many experiences, she was supposed to finally get married with the reincarnation of the golden boy, but she met the stone monkey in the form of Ye Long. At that time, the spiritual stone monkey was the son of luck, and Fan Lihua's fate also changed.
Because of this incident, Mother Lishan also called Fan Lihua back and told her the pros and cons.
At that time, Fan Lihua also knew that the Lingming Stone Monkey was seduced by the underworld for no reason, and was even thrown into the Yinshan Mountains by Po Meng. Later, Bai Qian deprived her of her luck, and was trapped forever.
Suppressed in the Yin Mountains.
In other words, the great powers above have completely given up on the Lingming Stone Monkey, which means they have given up on the Stone Monkey.
How could Fan Lihua, who had the shadow of the Stone Ape in her heart, give up like this, so she has been practicing hard, hoping to become a saint, avenge the Stone Ape, and rescue the Stone Ape.
But it is extremely difficult to achieve enlightenment and become a saint. However, this journey of learning scriptures from the West is another shortcut to improve your cultivation.
If she succeeds, a large amount of heavenly merit will come down by then, and her cultivation will be greatly improved!
This is Fan Lihua's plan.
"Amitabha, General Fan doesn't need to say thank you. As a Buddhist monk, the poor monk has the right to ask someone to escort the poor monk to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Well, General Kou, what about you? Do you want to go together?" Ye Long looked at Kou. Fairy boy.
When Ye Long asked this question, Fairy Boy Kou felt a little surprised and moved a little.
Going to the West to obtain the true scriptures must be dangerous and very hard, but if you can really achieve enlightenment, it will be completely cost-effective.
It's just that she already has a fiancé, and she doesn't know if his fiancé agrees.
After all, the study of scriptures in the Western Heaven cannot be successful in a year and a half. It is the Great Leiyin Temple in the Western Heaven of Tianzhu.
That is to travel through the east, enter the ancestral land of Emperor Qin, and then go to the west to reach the pure land of bliss in the west.
It just takes decades to come and go! Not to mention the hardships and delays in the process.
Although she has the blessing of cultivation and will not age, decades or hundreds of years are still long enough.
Fan Lihua also looked at Kou Xiantong. She did not speak. Of course, she did not want Kou Xiantong to go.
As for the reason, it's very simple.
If the Kou Fairy Boy goes together, there will be only a few merits if there are more people to learn the scriptures, and less merit will be distributed to each person.
In terms of rewards based on merit, although this fairy boy is not as high as her, his strength is also very good, and his role is comparable to hers.
Another reason is that Kou Xiantong's fiancé is Xue Dingshan.
This Xue Dingshan... I won't mention it, maybe the two of them will not have any intersection in the future.
The original destiny marriage was just decided by the Jade Emperor. Now that her destiny has changed, she doesn't need to worry so much.
After all, when she was a beautiful girl, she had no feelings for the golden boy.
"I'll go back and discuss it with my family." Xiantong hesitated for a moment and then said.
Ye Long said a Buddha's name.
Discuss it with your family? Isn't it just a discussion with Xue Dingshan?
Why did he suggest that Fairy Boy Kou also go to learn the scriptures? Naturally, he didn't want this big cabbage to be eaten by Xue Dingshan.
As for the others, he no longer cares. After all, being able to take two beautiful generals to learn scriptures is probably the maximum endurance of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
If he went too far, he was afraid of angering Guanyin Bodhisattva, or Tathagata.
Moreover, the identities of the Fairy Boy and Fan Lihua are not simple.
Afterwards, Fan Lihua and others left the Zen room one after another and returned to their rooms.
At Yunju Temple, they still have a courtyard.
Fan Lihua and Kou Xiantong not only discussed Buddhism with Ye Long, but were also female generals sent by the Tang Dynasty to protect Ye Long and successfully host the land and water conference.
And the male general is naturally Xue Dingshan.
There was no conversation all night, except for the sound of wolf howls and crows coming from Ye Long's room from time to time.
This night was crazy.
Undercurrents are flowing, and people from all sides cannot sleep peacefully.
Because the news that Jin Chanzi was reincarnated and was ordered to seek truth was leaked out.
The most incredible thing is that the reincarnation of Golden Chanzi, Tang Monk Tang Sanzang, actually looks exactly like the long-lost Lord Ye Long.
This made the people of the Dragon Kingdom almost kill the Tang Dynasty, but they were stopped by the Snow Wolf King who had already left seclusion.
Snow Wolf King has been following Ye Long from the beginning. He has strong cultivation and is loyal to Ye Long.
Now I am practicing in the Demon King Bracelet that is fused with the Beast Refining Stone, and I have eaten the spiritual root, and now I finally wake up!
She didn't step into Daluo Jinxian, but she was still one step away.
Naturally, the leader of the Dragon Kingdom believed in the Snow Wolf King. The Snow Wolf King asked the troops of the Dragon Kingdom to stand still and wait for the lesson study to end, and Shi Hongshi agreed.
Because Ye Long said before leaving, unless the Demon King's bracelet is broken, it will prove that he is dead.
If one day, the Demon King's bracelet disappears, it means that it has returned to him.
The Dragon Kingdom must stand still and wait for his return.
As always, just as it was 1.6 million years ago, waiting for his return.
