Seeing this, Sakyamuni continued: "Namo Amitabha, although Jin Chanzi is a suitable candidate, the journey to the west this time is far away, and after his reincarnation, his spiritual wisdom will be blinded, and he will not know the past and present lives. In this way, one more person is needed Go and enlighten him, teach him how to endure hardships in the world, travel far and wide, and come to my Great Thunder Sound Temple in the West to obtain the true scriptures, and spread them to the East forever to persuade all living beings. This time, it is a great blessing. I don’t know who is willing to create something,” he said, looking down at the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, but his eyes kept drifting to Guanyin Bodhisattva not far away.

If the second-generation disciples of the ancient Taoism are present, they can see that the appearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva is very similar to that of the empress Xi and the empress. Yes, Xi and the empress escaped the witchcraft that day, but have been hiding in the Western Paradise. He practiced hard for a while, but his blessings were not enough. In addition, he lost too much taiwan essence by giving birth to ten princes, and most of the Western Qi was Geng Metal, which was not very conducive to his practice, so he went to Nanhai, not far from the West. A dojo was built in Putuolin.

After the Great Tribulation of Enlightenment, she was conferred by the Buddha, but she was ordered to replace Moonlight Bodhisattva and become the leader of all Bodhisattvas, with the name: Nanhai Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. Seeing this, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva knew that this was Sakyamuni. The Buddha intended to create something for himself, and he was overjoyed. He immediately moved the nine-grade lotus platform given by the Buddha to the Buddha, bowed three times and said: "Namo Amitabha, although my disciples are not talented, they are willing to go to the east to teach the golden cicadas." Zi learns from the scriptures,"

Many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas present were envious when they saw this, but they knew that the matter had been decided for a long time. This Guanyin Bodhisattva had achieved the quasi-sage path for a long time, and was even more powerful than the newly cultivated Maitreya Bodhisattva. In addition, he had a background It is also huge, so although everyone is reluctant to give up, they dare not compete with him for this great merit.

Shakyamuni Buddha's eyes flashed with light, and he nodded slightly and said: "Namo Amitabha, Guanyin Bodhisattva has great magical power, so he is a suitable candidate." Then he ordered Ananda and Kasyapa to remove a collar of the brocade cassock and cross a nine-ring tin staff. He asked Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva to pass it on to those who were seeking the scriptures, and also gave her three hoops, namely gold, tight, and forbidden, so that they could be used to subdue monsters with powerful supernatural powers on the way to seek the scriptures.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva smiled and took over the decree and the instruments, then bowed and left.

When Sakyamuni saw Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva leaving, he said to everyone: "Namo Amitabha, although this is a sign of the prosperity of Buddhism, it is also in the midst of a great calamity. There are many variables in the great calamity, and there may be unforeseen events. All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas We must prepare carefully, and there is no room for mistakes in this transmission." After saying this, his eyes shot out with an unusually fierce golden light.

Everyone hurriedly said: "I respectfully receive the Buddha's decree." After saying that, they dispersed.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there was a person named Chen E in Haizhou. This Chen E participated in the subject selection on the imperial list and ranked first in the top three in high school.

Later, he married the daughter of the Prime Minister Yin of the dynasty. A few days later, he was transferred to Jiangzhou Prefecture to take office. When he was on the Hongjiang River, he was killed by boatmen Liu Hong and Li Biao, and his body was thrown into the Hongjiang River. Later, Liu Hong occupied Miss Yin and seized Chen E's official position, and went to Jiangzhou to take office with his official credentials.

Originally, Chen E was thrown into the Hongjiang River and was certain to die. However, a dragon king appeared in the river and found out that he was the benefactor who had saved him. He immediately ordered the patrolling Yaksha to carry him to the Crystal Palace in the river, and used the Dingyan Pearl. Preserve his body and soul.

Miss Yin was occupied by the evil thief Liu Hong, and she wanted to commit suicide after losing her moral integrity. However, she found out that she was pregnant with Chen E's child, so she had to endure it for the time being.

Six months later, Mrs. Yin gave birth to a son. She didn't want the child to recognize the thief as his father, so she put the child into a flower basket and threw the child into the river while Liu Hong was out.

However, he said that the child had great blessings and was soon rescued by the elders of the Jinguang Temple and named Xuanzang. Read through the poetry and Buddhist scriptures.

But it is said that in the early years of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there was a fortune teller on Ximen Street in Chang'an. It was said that he could tell people about the past, present and future. Hundreds of people came to divine fortune every day. One day a woodcutter passed by and gave the fortune teller a golden carp. The fortune teller then made a fortune for the woodcutter and asked him to salvage the river and sea tribes every day according to the direction he gave.

After the woodcutter heard about it, he fished accordingly, and the harvest was very abundant every day. The aquatic life in the river and sea was decreasing day by day. This river and sea was originally under the jurisdiction of the Dragon King of Jinghe River in the West Sea. The Dragon King of Jinghe River was very angry about this, so he went ashore in person to use his magic power to fight with the people. The hexagram master fights.

The Dragon King of Jinghe transformed into a mortal, and when he met the hexagram master, he found out that this person was Yuan Shoucheng, the Heavenly Supervisor of the Tang Dynasty.

Immortals and mortals have been incompatible with each other for a long time, but the Dragon King of Jinghe said angrily: "You are a hexagram master, but I, the Xihai Dragon Palace, have no enmity with you. Why do you want to harm my Xihai clan? You should change your mind, otherwise you will be let go." There was no rain in the Tang Dynasty,”

When Yuan Shoucheng saw the white-clothed scholar, he smiled and said, "I know that you are the Dragon King of Jinghe River in the West Sea, and I also know the purpose of your coming this time. However, this is a number that cannot be changed. You'd better forget about it, otherwise there will be a bloody disaster." ,"

Seeing that this fortune teller also had some skills, the Dragon King of Jinghe said angrily: "You, a fortune teller, dare to curse me. That's all. I won't argue with you. Let's have a bet. If you lose, and Tell the fisherman to stop fishing for aquariums,"

Yuan Shoucheng's eyes shot out a burst of golden light, and then he said: "Three days later, in the capital of the Tang Dynasty, it will rain at hour, thunder at hour, rain at noon, and rain at noon. A total of three feet, three inches and forty-eight points of water will be obtained."

The Dragon King of Jinghe laughed loudly and said: "You, a Taoist, know that I am the Dragon King of Jinghe who is in charge of rain distribution, yet you dare to brag about Haikou and make false claims about the number of days. Even I don't know that it will rain in three days, but you know,"

"Let's go, let's go, we will get entangled again," Yuan Shoucheng said and rolled up the stall to stop divination, but the Dragon King of Jinghe stopped him and said: "What should I do if the divination is not accurate?"

Yuan Shoucheng said with a trace of pity in his eyes: "You, the Dragon King, dare to talk nonsense when your death is about to happen. Well, if it is accurate, you owe me fifty lessons. If not, I will disappear from divination and stop divination. You can also ask the fisherman to stop." fishing,"

The Dragon King of Jinghe laughed and said, "That's great," and then he waved his sleeves and left.

But he said that as soon as he returned to Shuifu, the sky ordered rain to fall on Chang'an three days later. The amount of water at the time of the rain was exactly what Yuan Shoucheng said. Although the Dragon King was shocked, he secretly sighed that there was such a person who knew everything about the world, but he had a strong temperament. , how could he easily admit defeat? His desire to win completely blinded him, so he lost his mind and decided to secretly change the rainfall time and deduct the amount of rainfall.

That day, the Dragon King waited until 4 hours before the clouds started to spread. It rained at the wrong time, and it stopped raining just after 1 hour. A total of 3 inches and 40 points of rain fell. It was changed by an hour, and 3 inches and 8 points were deducted.

He only woke up after the rain, regretting that it was too late, but he still remembered the safety of the Xihai tribe, and immediately smashed Yuan Shoucheng's hexagram stall in one breath, and told Yuan Shoucheng to get out of Chang'an and never show up again. Yuan Shoucheng just looked on pitifully. The Dragon King smashed it, but at the end he laughed and said: "My little Gua stall is worthless. I'm afraid someone has committed a capital crime without knowing it. It's pitiful." Then he waved his sleeves and left.

The Dragon King of Jinghe stood alone for several hours. Then he made up his mind and went to the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea to seek refuge with his seventh brother Ao Guang.

Ao Guang had already figured out what happened to the Dragon King of Jinghe River, but he avoided seeing him. When he was young, Tang Wang Li Shimin fell into a dream and sneaked into Li Shimin's dream, shouting: "Your Majesty, save me."

The king of Tang Dynasty was surprised and asked: "Who are you and how can I save you?"

The Dragon King said: "I am the Dragon King of Jinghe River outside Chang'an City. I secretly deducted rainfall points and violated the laws of heaven, so I was beheaded. However, I know that the person who oversaw the beheading was Wei Zheng, the virtuous minister of the Tang Dynasty, so I came to ask for help."

Seeing his pleading, the King of Tang felt pity for him, and immediately agreed to him and said: "Since Wei Aiqing is the one overseeing the execution, I can save you, and you can go."

The king of Tang Dynasty was playing chess with Wei Zheng. Seeing that Wei Zheng was drowsy, he thought that if Wei Zheng fell asleep, he would not be able to supervise the killing, so he let him sleep soundly.

Suddenly someone outside the door shouted: "Dragon, dragon head," King Tang was shocked, but he stood up and looked. The dragon's head rolled and came to King Tang's feet. A pair of eyes stared at King Tang as if he had never closed his eyes.

From then on, the King of Tang was frightened. He often dreamed of a bloody headless dragon rolling towards the King of Tang and shouting at midnight: "King of Tang, give me back the dragon's head."

For several days in a row, the king of Tang Dynasty was in a state of confusion during the day. After hearing this, the wise minister Qin Qiong, Jingde, personally went to watch the night for the king of Tang Dynasty. From then on, the king of Tang Dynasty could sleep peacefully. However, the king of Tang Dynasty pity Er Er. After a lot of hard work, he came up with a way to hang the portraits of the two people outside his palace, and this method actually worked.

The next night, the King of Tang sleepwalked through the underworld, looking around the eighteen levels of the underworld. After being frightened, he almost died. Weird things in the palace continued. Later, Master Xuanzang, the host of Jinguang Temple, chanted sutras and prayed for the King of Tang, and the strange events in the palace gradually subsided. Come down.

Seeing this, the king of Tang Dynasty had an inexplicable fondness for Buddhism and held water and land monasteries for several days.

Master Xuanzang was preaching Buddhism that day. The king of Tang Dynasty was also present, but he saw a bald lazi shouting: "We sell cassocks and tin sticks. Those who are destined to get them will not take any money."

The king of Tang Dynasty was surprised, so he stood up and showed the lazi to the front of the palace. Seeing the lazi followed by a group of dressed people, he asked: "How much is your cassock and tin staff worth?"

La Zi glanced at Xuanzang in front of him, and then said: "If you are destined to get it, you will not take any money. If you are not destined, you will get five thousand taels of cassocks and three thousand taels of tin staff."

The king of Tang Dynasty was even more curious and asked: "What is the magic use of your cassock and tin staff, so that it can be sold for such a price?"

The lazi smiled slightly, with a very ugly face, and said: "If you wear my cassock, you will not fall into perdition, hell, poison, tigers and wolves. This is a benefit. Such foolish monks who are greedy for sexual pleasure and enjoy misfortunes do not fast or abstain." "Monks and ordinary people who slander scriptures and slander the Buddha cannot see my face in my cassock, which is not good."

When the King of Tang heard this, he felt a little disbelieving, but when he saw Master Xuanzang staring at the cassock without saying a word, he called him inside and said, "I would like to buy this cassock, tin staff, and give it to the elder."

After Master Xuanzang heard this, he immediately bowed and thanked the King of Tang.

La Zi smiled and nodded when he heard this, and then gave the two things to Master Xuanzang.

After Xuanzang accepted the two things, Lazi flew onto the beam and transformed into Guanyin Bodhisattva and Hui'an Walker.

Ordinary people have never seen such a situation. They immediately bowed and bowed. The king of Tang also put his hands together and made a Buddhist salute. Guanyin Bodhisattva immediately said: "Monk, I just heard you preach the Hinayana Buddhist scriptures. Do you know the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures?"

Xuanzang bowed and said: "Since ancient times, the Tang Dynasty has only heard of Hinayana Buddhist scriptures, but has never heard of Mahayana Buddhist scriptures." The Bodhisattva then discussed the Tripitaka of Mahayana Buddhist scriptures with him. This statement made Xuanzang smile with joy. The king of Tang who was present was also quite happy.

Then he asked: "Who among you here is willing to seek the true scriptures for me and the people of the Tang Dynasty?"

Xuanzang immediately came out and said: "Reporting to your majesty, I would like to obtain the true scriptures for your majesty, but I don't know where the true scriptures are."

But I heard Guanyin Bodhisattva say: "The Mahayana Sutra is in the Great Thunder Sound Temple in the Western Paradise. It is where I, Buddha Tathagata, are located. It is a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from here. There are many monsters and monsters on the road. You dare to go and get it."

Xuanzang said sternly: "Although I am not talented, I am willing to work hard for Your Majesty to obtain the true scriptures for the people of the Tang Dynasty and to protect our country of the Tang Dynasty forever."

The king of Tang Dynasty said happily: "I am moved by the master's heart. I am willing to become brothers with the master. After obtaining the scriptures and returning home, we can share the glory and wealth."

When Guanyin Bodhisattva saw this, he immediately smiled and flew away. When everyone present saw this, they hurriedly chased him out and knelt down to see each other off.

A few days later, when Xuanzang left for the west, the king of Tang led a group of ministers to see him off.
