With the cooperation of all parties, the second step of Buddhism's "Eastern Transmission of Buddhism" was in full swing, traveling westward to obtain Buddhist scriptures. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was so frightened by a bloody dragon head that he went to the underworld. This was a combination of heaven and Buddhism that treated every violation of the precepts as a sin.

Longshuang asked the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for help, but he failed to save Nielong's life even after he agreed. This was used as a pretext to let the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty go to the underworld, so that he would be in awe and cooperate with Buddhism's actions.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, named Li Shimin, was frightened when he visited the underworld. The souls struggled and roared in the boundless river of blood, the ferocious ghosts, and the resentment of the unjust souls who died in vain. They were also brought to the time when he was fighting for the throne.

The souls of the numerous opponents who had been killed and the innocent souls who had been harmed by Chi Yu 'enjoyed' a special courtesy; this made him even more horrified, and he had to be reminded by someone on the sidelines that Xu Yi Huan Yang could be saved through rituals.

After escaping, he was horrified again when he saw the Yama Lords of the Ten Palaces. They were all majestic and terrifying. Only the Wheel-turning King came out of the dust. He was as gentle as jade, and told him nicely that he was the Dao Sect Izumo Tianzun, and he was sitting in the Wheel-turning Hall of the Underworld.

He carried out the duties of rewards and punishments. He then sent his disciples to personally deliver the soul of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty back to the Yangtze River.

Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty returned to the Yang Dynasty. Because of the Izumo God, Izumo, he invited Taoist masters from all over the world to hold rituals for him to save the innocent souls who were wronged by him in the underworld.

Before the Taoist masters arrived, the Buddhist monks came to the door and offered to hold a Dharma ceremony for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to save the souls of the deceased. Although Li Shimin was hesitant, he finally agreed. After all, the development of Buddhism over the past hundreds of years has not changed in the Tang Empire today.

The territory is also very influential, and folklore also has magical powers. Mainly because people who went to look for Taoist masters came back one after another and reported that those masters were in retreat to study Taoism and could not come for the time being. And Li Shimin thought about what he saw in the underworld after he returned to the world.

He was always on tenterhooks and had constant nightmares at night. In desperation, he had no choice but to let the Buddhist monks hold a ritual ceremony to liberate the souls of the dead. The one who presided over the ritual ceremony was the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi.

After a Dharma conference, Li Shimin felt a lot calmer and barely at peace, but he still had a lot of uneasiness in his heart.

Maitreya Buddha and Sakyamuni Buddha came on stage at this time. When Li Shimin was watching the last ceremony of the ceremony, they turned into two eminent monks and shouted selling cassocks and tin sticks. The strange sound reached Li Shimin's ears, which attracted Li Shimin's attention.

The two of them were brought to the front of the temple, and they showed off for a while. Finally, they showed their true bodies, stood on the clouds, and said loudly: "There is a Tripitaka of Mahayana Buddhism at the place of my Buddha Tathagata in the Great Leiyin Temple in the country of Tianzhu in the Western Tian Dynasty, which can save you."

Death is freed from suffering, and the body will live without damage. It can resolve hundreds of grievances and eliminate unnecessary disasters." Above the auspicious clouds, the two of them were majestic. The golden light behind their heads flashed, and the sky was filled with brilliant rays of light. The flowers and rain were colorful, and the sound of Sanskrit resounded throughout the heaven and earth.

A cold snort came from the sky, causing the two of them to break out in a cold sweat. They quickly put away the vision, dropped a note, and turned into a golden light and went away.

The slip of paper floated down, and the guards quickly picked it up and gave it to Li Shimin. Li Shimin unfolded it and saw that it read: Courtesy to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, there are wonderful articles in the west. The journey has been hundreds of thousands of miles, and the Mahayana has entered the courteous atmosphere. This is

After returning to the upper kingdom, you will be able to surpass ghosts and escape from the crowd. If there is anyone who is willing to go, seek righteousness and attain a golden body.

After seeing it, Li Shimin said in his heart: No wonder this Dharma conference has done a lot, I still feel that I have never found peace, but these monks have no real ability and cannot save the souls of the underworld. The Taoist monks don't know when they will leave seclusion.

There are masters who have been in seclusion for hundreds of years. Why not send a few monks to the Great Leiyin Temple in Daxitian to get scriptures and then perform rituals to liberate the souls of the dead. If there are Taoist masters who come out of seclusion during this period, please host a dharma ceremony to liberate them.

Wrong soul. If no Taoist master comes out of seclusion during this period, let the monk who retrieved the scriptures perform another Dharma ceremony, which would be the best of both worlds.

Immediately, Li Shimin made a decision, and the monks who were doing the deeds came to the front of the temple and said, "Who is willing to follow my will and go to the west to worship Buddha and seek scriptures?"

Jin Chanzi stepped out of the queue, saluted in front of Li Shimin and said: "I am a poor monk but I am not talented. I am willing to work like a dog and horse to obtain the true scriptures from your majesty and pray that my king will be forever strong."

When Li Shimin saw it, he immediately asked with a smile: "Master, can you be so loyal and virtuous that you are not afraid of a long journey and trek through mountains and rivers to obtain the true scriptures?"

Jin Chanzi immediately said: "Your Majesty, when this poor monk leaves, he will definitely sacrifice his life and work hard to reach the Western Heaven. If he does not reach the Western Heaven and does not get the true scriptures, he will not dare to return to his country even if he dies, and he will fall into hell forever."

Li Shimin immediately said: "Okay! Since the master has made this great wish, I will give the master the title of 'Tripitaka' with the sutra! This cassock and tin staff are also given to the master for use. I only hope that the master can successfully retrieve the scriptures!"

Jin Chanzi immediately thanked him and received it. He returned to Hongfu Temple and prepared to go west to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

On the second day, Li Shimin sent someone to collect the scriptures, a horse, a purple gold alms bowl, and some silver.

Master Sanzang thanked him and took two disciples who were willing to accompany him to learn the scriptures and set out on the way. The other disciples said: "Master, I heard people say that the road to the west is far away and there are more tigers, leopards and monsters. I'm afraid they will never come back, and it's hard to save their lives.

.I only wish Master good luck and a safe journey! I just don’t know when Master will come back?”

Master Sanzang said: "I have made a great vow not to take the true scriptures, and will fall into hell forever. I am probably favored by the king, and I have to be loyal to serve the country. My departure is really uncertain, and it is difficult to determine whether it will be good or bad."

"Disciples, after I leave, it may be three or two years, or five or seven years, but if you look at the pine branches in the mountain gate facing east, I will come back immediately. Otherwise, I will never come back." All the disciples remembered these words carefully.

He turned the horse's head and led the two disciples to the west.

At this time, on a remote hill in Hezhou, Xiniu, on a huge rock in the mountain col, the fat-bellied Maitreya Buddha still had a smile, and there was a hint of fear in his solemnity; Sakyamuni Buddha's face was even more frightened. The two of them sat on the stone, panting slightly.

After a while, Sakyamuni Buddha looked at Maitreya Buddha and asked: "Buddha, does he know who that person is? Why is he so powerful?"

Maitreya Buddha glanced at Sakyamuni Buddha and said, "I don't know who it is!" But there was some guessing in his heart; the cold snorting voice was a bit familiar, and even the pressure directed at the two of them was a bit familiar.

Familiar, but not sure, because the pressure revealed was too strong. Maitreya Buddha had only experienced such strong pressure from the two Buddhist leaders, and he did not dare to elevate that person to be on par with the two Buddhist leaders.

situation.

After resting for a while, Maitreya Buddha said to Sakyamuni Buddha: "Let's go!" The two of them turned into golden light and disappeared in an instant.

At this time, the person whom Maitreya Buddha had vaguely guessed but was not sure about was riding a strange beast with a pure and bright woman in snow-white plain clothes. They were flying in the air with a happy expression.

These two people are Taoist Xundao Tianzun Xundaozi and Jingyi Tianzun Suxin, and the strange beasts they ride are the three snow lion beasts and the halberd dragon beast. The faint auras of these two beasts this time are different from those before.

Big difference, obviously Taoism has been greatly improved.

This is indeed the case. For more than five hundred years, Su Xin received Lao Tzu's careful guidance in the Da Chi Tian of Lao Tzu's dojo. After three hundred years of retreat, he successfully entered the Da Luo Zhen Fairyland. Styracosaurus also had the opportunity to achieve Da Luo San with Lao Tzu's mount Qing Niu.

It took another two hundred years to consolidate the realm. The three snow lion beasts received guidance from Yuanshi Tianzun at Qingweitian in Yuanshi Tianzun's dojo and successfully entered the Daluo True Immortal Realm.

But he made a lot more effort, and the benefits he gained were no less than those of Su Xin and the Three Snow Lion Beasts.

In the hazy space that extends into the chaos of Qingwei Tian, ​​Xun Daozi has the purple thunder to temper his physical body and soul, but as soon as a trace of purple energy generated in the purple thunder appears, it will be taken away by the purple cyclone in the sea of ​​consciousness and inhaled.

Among them, except for the first few decades when Xundaozi actively activated the "Zhou Tian Gong", in the following four hundred years, his body instinctively performed the exercises. After getting used to the pain of purple thunder and fire tempering his body and soul, Xundaozi was able to perform the "Zhou Tian Gong" in purple

Maintain a state of enlightenment in the thunder and fire: body and enlightenment.

In that hazy state, Xun Daozi refined his body and soul, studied the Dharma and enlightened the Tao. He didn't know time at all. There seemed to be no difference between tens of millions of years and a moment. He also forgot about time, until no purple thunder was generated for a long time. Xun Daozi gained enlightenment from the Dharma.

When I woke up, I felt that the breath of "life" seemed to be missing from the hazy state. Looking inwardly, Xun Daozi could no longer describe the toughness and strength of his physical body, and his movements seemed to have the power to create the world. The purple cyclone in the sea of ​​​​consciousness was lively, spinning briskly and mysteriously.

The breath seemed to reveal some information, but it felt like something was missing, preventing the hidden information from breaking out of the shackles of the cyclone.

After a long time, Xun Daozi stood up and walked towards the depths of the hazy place. Step by step, he felt the pressure increasing, and the hazy place was dead.

Xun Daozi's spiritual consciousness seemed to have changed when he looked ahead. He felt an inexplicable closeness in the sea of ​​consciousness. His feet tightened unconsciously and he took a step out of this hazy place. But before he could carefully explore the surroundings, he found the inexplicable closeness.

Why. In a daze, I felt that my body had been hit hard, my soul was in pain, and I fell down.

Yuanshi Tianzun, who was silently observing Zhou Tian in the Qingwei Tian Yuqing Palace, suddenly showed a look of surprise. His beard and hair were spread out, and he waved his big hand. There was a roar in the air, and a giant green hand instantly crossed the vast space and reached into the corner that stretched into the chaos.

, grabbed the fallen Xundaozi and returned to Yuqing Palace in an instant.

The unconscious Xun Daozi was suspended in front of Yuanshi Tianzun, with a look of pain on his face. Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes were filled with green light, and his beard was angry. He squeezed the formulas with both hands and moved them continuously, turning them into phantoms. He shot out magic formulas one after another, and the void was empty.

Traces of the mysterious path loomed, intertwined with the mysterious tracks to form a big net, and as Yuanshi Tianzun said: "Hey!" the big net covered Xundaozi suspended in the air, and instantly submerged into Xundaozi's body. Yuanshi Tianzun connected the seal again,

The blue light shot out and penetrated into Xun Daozi's body.

After a long time, Yuanshi Tianzun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his face calmed down, but he still seemed to be breathing a little. If people saw Yuanshi Tianzun breathing slightly, I don't know how shocked they would be. Considering Yuanshi Tianzun's current Taoist practice,

, what are the circumstances that lead to such a situation?

Allowing Xun Daozi to float in the air, Yuanshi Tianzun closed his eyes lightly, clasped his hands in vain, and unexpectedly entered into cultivation to recover the losses.

After a long time, Yuanshi Tianzun opened his eyes again and looked at Xun Daozi suspended in the air. Slowly, a smile of joy and a hint of surprise appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Xun Daozi was suspended in the air with a calm expression. After an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes, stood up, turned around and bowed before Yuanshi Tianzun, and said, "Disciple, thank you, Master, for your help! You have caused trouble to Master!"

Yuanshi Tianzun smiled and said: "Get up! You and I, master and disciple, don't need to be polite. Master won't care if something happens to you. But this time you are indeed a little more reckless. The master there also warned you that there are many dangers. You

Why are you barging in so unprotected?"

Xundaozi smiled, lowered his head and replied, "Disciple, I remember!"

Yuanshi Tianzun said again: "Okay, now it seems that you have gained a lot, go down and consolidate it!"

After Xundaozi agreed, he bowed and stepped back. He was also eager to know some information that appeared in the sea of ​​consciousness.
Chapter completed!
