Chapter 256: The Journey to the West Begins: The Three Monsters of Gongzhou!(1/2)
In Chen Guogong's Mansion, Jiang Liu'er is having fun every day.
Suddenly, he seemed to feel something, so he dismissed the maids serving beside him and asked them to return to the room to rest.
He himself came to the courtyard of the Duke's Mansion, lay down on the rocking chair and started rocking.
"We are all old acquaintances. Why hide and be sneaky? Just come out."
Jiang Liuer looked calmly at a white cloud in the sky.
When his voice fell, he saw that the white clouds began to change rapidly, blooming with bursts of golden Brahma light.
Then, the white clouds disappeared, and Guanyin Bodhisattva was already standing in the nine heavens.
He looked down at Jin Chanzi and praised, "Well done."
It is obviously referring to Jin Chanzi's expulsion of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji for Li Shimin.
Jiang Liuer waved his hand and said casually.
"It's just a little effort. As long as it can make our Buddhist sect prosper, what does it mean to do this?"
Hearing this, Guanyin's face became even more satisfied, and Jin Chanzi was indeed on the path.
The wonderful method of Buddhism is indeed profound, and even the six-winged golden cicada, the first of the five insects, has been trained to be docile.
At this time, Jiang Liuer said, "What's the matter with you coming to see me this time?"
Jiang Liu'er knew that as long as Guanyin came, nothing good would happen, so she probably came to urge him to go west again.
Guanyin said seriously, "The sage has an order and ordered me to give you three Buddhist treasures."
"What treasure?"
Jiang Liu'er suddenly became interested and asked if he could find any treasures that looked like he was searching.
Guanyin waved her hand, and three golden spiritual treasures appeared in her hand.
They are three gold hoops, a brocade cassock, and a nine-ring tin staff.
On the three spiritual treasures, the aura of Buddhism is strong and overwhelming.
"The three spiritual treasures are the gold, tight and forbidden hoops, the brocade cassock, and the nine-ring tin staff. After you take the spiritual treasures, go west as soon as possible."
After Guanyin finished speaking, she added a special sentence.
"These three spiritual treasures are only temporarily placed in your hands. They will still be returned to the saint after the completion of the westward journey."
"I understand."
Jiang Liuer took the Lingbao and curled his lips secretly.
You know that Zhunti was not generous in welcoming the two of them.
After leaving Guanyin, Jiang Liuer looked at the three spiritual treasures in front of him and couldn't help but smile secretly.
Now that these three magic weapons are in my own hands, how can I return them?
After leaving Chen Guogong's mansion, Guanyin did not rush back to Mount Xumi immediately.
Instead, he followed the sage’s decree and stared at Jiang Liuer in the sky.
The plan to travel west is really important to Buddhism.
Zhunti, the introduction will never allow problems in any link.
In the blink of an eye, a year has passed. In the sky, Guanyin Bodhisattva is already impatient to wait.
What's going on with Jiang Liu'er? He hasn't started his plan to travel west yet. What if the saint blames him?
Guanyin flew to the Duke's Mansion in a flash. Seeing Jiang Liu'er still having fun, she couldn't help but said coldly.
"Jin Chanzi, why haven't you started traveling west yet?"
Jiang Liuer's face was quite good-looking at first, but after hearing Guanyin's question, his face suddenly darkened.
"My nine reincarnation bodies were all destroyed in the quicksand river, and my true spirit was greatly damaged. Now I just enjoy it for a while, isn't that enough?"
When Guanyin heard this, he didn't know what to say.
According to what Jin Chanzi said, it was indeed Buddhism that felt sorry for Jin Chanzi first.
Guanyin exhaled a breath. It was a great opportunity for the great prosperity of the West. Jin Chanzi was also the key person to face the disaster. It was not appropriate to anger Jin Chanzi.
Since he wants to rest, he should rest for a while.
It only takes a year or two, but the West can still afford to wait.
Guanyin said nothing to Jin Chanzi, and as soon as her thoughts came to her mind, she flew away from the Duke's Mansion.
Time is like fine sand, another two or three years have passed.
Guanyin Bodhisattva saw that Jin Chanzi was addicted to enjoyment and was still not ready to go west.
In desperation, we had to go to Xiniu Hezhou and find the Tathagata to solve the problem.
In the Great Leiyin Temple and the Main Hall, the Great Sun Tathagata looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva, slowly frowned, and said seriously.
"Why hasn't the plan of traveling to the west started yet? Jin Chanzi, what are you doing?"
"Listen to my disciples." Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed and told the Great Sun Medicine Master everything Jin Chanzi had done in recent days.
"Indulging in the land of gentleness, it seems that the magical method of my Buddhism has not transformed the golden cicada thoroughly enough!"
There is disappointment on the face of the great sun medicine master. If Jin Chanzi continues like this, how will his Buddhism go west and prosper?
"Let's go, I'll go with you in person."
"Yes."
The Great Sun Medicine Master brought Guanyin Bodhisattva to the Duke's Mansion and met Jin Chanzi.
Jin Chanzi was quite surprised, "I have seen the World Honored One, why is the World Honored One here too?"
The Great Sun Medicine Master had no expression on his face, "We have a big plan to travel to the west without delay. Jin Chanzi, please act quickly, otherwise the saint will blame you, and I won't be able to protect you."
"Okay."
This time, Jin Chanzi agreed very simply and neatly.
After playing in Chang'an for so many years, I have played basically everything.
Since Buddhism was so eager to let him go west, he would fulfill Buddhism's wish.
Guanyin Bodhisattva felt helpless when she saw that Jin Chanzi agreed so straightforwardly.
It felt like a punch had been struck on the cotton body, making me feel unspeakably upset and uncomfortable.
"Let's go."
The Great Sun Medicine Master took Guanyin Bodhisattva with him and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The next morning, Jin Chanzi got up early, washed up, and went straight into the palace.
In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin said with a smile, "What, are you ready to start traveling westward to learn Buddhist scriptures?"
Jin Chanzi said seriously, "Buddhism has assassinated Your Majesty, and the crime cannot be pardoned. I went west because I want to avenge Your Majesty."
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Do you want me to build momentum for you?"
"Need."
Jin Chanzi nodded, the more people know about the Buddhist scriptures in the West.
If he betrays Buddhism in the future, Buddhism will suffer greater losses.
Soon, under Li Shimin's deliberate propaganda, the news spread throughout the Tang Dynasty that the young monk of Jinshan Temple, Chen Guogong Jiang Liu'er, was preparing to go west to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
For a time, countless people became curious about Western Buddhism.
What kind of charm does it have that can make him, a divine monk from the Tang Dynasty, travel hundreds of millions of miles away to learn Buddhist scriptures?
A month later, Li Shimin summoned all civil and military officials to gather in the Taiji Hall to see off Master Jin Chanzi and Master Sanzang.
This banquet was of unprecedented size, with countless delicacies and fine wines.
Jiang Liu'er also had a good drink with Cheng Yaojin, the Duke of Lu, Qin Qiong, the Duke of Yi, Chi Jingde, the Duke of E, and others.
At the end of the banquet, everyone became drunk and lay down to rest.
Only Li Shimin and Jiang Liuer were left in the Tai Chi Hall.
Li Shimin asked with a smile, "What do you want me to prepare for you this time to study in the West?"
Jiang Liuer shook his head, "Your Majesty, just prepare a horse for me. There is no need to prepare anything else."
Li Shimin nodded and asked again, this time his face was more solemn.
"How long will it take to go west this time..."
Jin Chanzi shook his head, "I don't know. This trip to the west involves too many things, and there are saints playing games behind the scenes. It is very dangerous and full of uncertainties."
"Saint..."
A flash of fear flashed in Li Shimin's eyes. He was from the Earthly Immortal Realm, Dongsheng Shenzhou, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
