The monks debated with each other, talked about scriptures and taught the Dharma for seven days and seven nights, and finally the most profound monk in Buddhism was born.

Just two.

Chang'an eminent monk, Master Xuanzang!

Jiangdu eminent monk, Zen Master Fahai!

The two great monks have profound Buddhist knowledge, Master Xuanzang is as round as water, and Zen Master Fahai is as fierce as fire.

The two of them taught the Dharma from a distance for three days and three nights, but they couldn't decide the winner.

Xuanzang's method is like an invincible shield that can defend against any spear. Fahai's method is like an invincible spear that can pierce any shield.

It's hard to tell the winner.

Daming Palace Qinzheng Hall.

"Your Majesty, Master Xuanzang and Zen Master Fahai both have profound Buddhist teachings. I don't know who should be appointed to preside over the water and land ceremony?"

Wei Zheng held the jade guide and reported the situation to Li Shimin.

"Do you still need me to arrange this kind of thing?"

"Master Xuanzang was granted the title of Zuo Seng Gang, the great master of the western Tang Dynasty, who presided over the Chang'an Water and Land Dharma Assembly. Zen Master Fahai was granted the title of You Seng Gang, the great master of the eastern Tang Dynasty, who presided over the Jiangdu Water and Land Dharma Assembly."

Li Shimin waved his hand impatiently and issued an edict directly.

As an emperor, you must not let your ministers have too much power. You must know how to balance.

Now let Xuanzang and Fahai sit on equal footing, check and balance each other, and split the Buddhist forces in the Tang Dynasty. It would be perfect if they let themselves dog eat dog.

"According to the order!"

Wei Zheng went to receive the decree and deliver the edict.

The Water and Land Dharma Assembly will be held as scheduled and will be held for 21 consecutive days to eliminate all the ghost energy brought by the millions of resentful ghosts and canal dragons. Otherwise, it will be too dangerous for ordinary people.

It will make ordinary people without cultivation get sick.

"This ocean of Dharma can actually compete with a golden cicada. The Dharma is so profound that I will have the opportunity to become a Buddha in the future. Our Buddhist sect is indeed full of talented people."

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, who was hiding in Chang'an, understood the situation. Although he was a little confused about the appearance of Fahai, after a quick calculation, he found that there was no problem with Fahai, so it didn't matter.

Whether it is Fahai or Xuanzang, they are both members of their Buddhist sect. The more talents, the better.

"Bodhisattva, at first the Bodhisattva wanted to raise Jin Chanzi's reputation, expand his influence, and make it easier to obtain Buddhist scriptures and preach. But now that Fa Hai and Xuanzang are there, who should he let go to the Western Heaven to obtain Buddhist scriptures?"

Venerable Muzha next to Guanyin Bodhisattva asked.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva forgot to glance at Jiangdu and shook his head: "That Fahai has a very high level of understanding. He has already reached the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal after practicing for twenty years. If he were to learn the scriptures, the journey would be much smoother."

"Then let Fahai learn the scriptures?" Mu Zha asked doubtfully.

"No, no, it's already been decided to go to the West to learn the scriptures. The reason why Jin Chanzi was reincarnated is to learn the scriptures. This was arranged by the Buddha a long time ago. How can it be changed?"

"The time has come, let's go."

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva appeared in Chang'an with Muzha and asked Chen Xuanzang to go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. He also presented Xuanzang and his family with magical treasures.

A nine-ring tin staff and a brocade cassock, these two are incredible, they are both low-grade acquired spiritual treasures.

The most special thing is that Tathagata Buddha personally blessed and built it, which represents the inheritance token of Tathagata.

"Thank you Bodhisattva. My disciples will be pious to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures and teach me the great Dharma of Buddhism."

Chen Xuanzang thanked Guanyin very devoutly.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva originally wanted Li Shimin to accept Xuanzang as his imperial disciple and raise Xuanzang's status, but Li Shimin rejected it directly.

Unless you, Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, are willing to remove the word "disappearance".

"I would rather think of a piece of soil in my hometown than a thousand taels of gold in another country. Master remembers that you are a monk of the Tang Dynasty, and you followed my order to go to the West to obtain scriptures."

In accordance with the decision, Li Shimin personally sent Chen Xuanzang on his way, twisted some soil from the ground, put it into the wine, and gave it to Xuanzang to drink.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty. I will definitely come back soon to learn the lesson and protect Your Majesty's country forever."

Chen Xuanzang was so excited that he drank the local wine in one gulp, mounted the white horse and purple gold alms bowl presented by Li Shimin, took a few disciples with him, and headed west.

At this time, Xuanzang had not yet recovered his true spirit. Although he was profound in Buddhism, he had no cultivation at all. His father was Chen Guangrui and his grandfather was Yin Kaishan, both of whom were ministers of Li Shimin.

He still has a good impression of Li Shimin now.

"Let's go to the next game."

Li Shimin glanced at Xuanzang's retreating figure, checked the area near Chang'an, and found that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva should not be there, so he flew to Jiangdu.

"Fahai has met His Majesty."

Fahai was a little downcast, but Guanyin Bodhisattva still chose Xuanzang instead of himself.

"Fahai, I have been very optimistic about you since I was a child. Buddhism does not choose you, but I choose you."

"Fa Hai listens to the order, I order you to go to Lingshan to retrieve the Mahayana Sutra."

Li Shimin smiled and took out a customs clearance document and handed it to Fahai.

"His Majesty?"

Fahai was a little confused. Didn't he already ask Xuanzang to go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures?

"The Tathagata gave Xuanzang two treasures, and I also gave him a golden bowl, a red and white cassock, three thousand whisks, and red dust beads. You go on the road immediately and get the Mahayana Sutra before Xuanzang. But you also

You must be like him, take one step at a time, do not fly, keep your feet on the ground, and go through ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties before you can obtain the true scripture."

Li Shimin turned his right hand, and many treasures appeared in his hand, and he handed them to Fa Hai personally.

In fact, these treasures originally belonged to Fahai himself. They were confiscated by Luo Xiao and later given to Li Shimin.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will fulfill my mission."

Fa Hai obtained the magic weapon, put his cassock on his body, held three thousand whisks, red dust beads, and a Buddha crown on his head, and his temperament suddenly soared a lot.

Before, he looked more like a little monk, but now that he is fully equipped, he has the aura of a great and eminent monk.

Sure enough, people want to be dressed like Buddha and want to be dressed in gold, and Fahai is no exception.

Li Shimin still gave him a BMW, but it was just a dark horse. He hoped that Fahai would really become a dark horse.

"Your Majesty, the young monk is leaving!"

Fahai rode on the black horse and flicked the Buddha dust in his hand. The black horse became violent and very handsome. (Refer to Nie Feng's horse riding.)

"Hey, your Buddhist sect can designate Buddhist scripture collectors, but I can't? Let's see how I divide your Buddhist sect."

"The Baoxiang Kingdom, the Wuji Kingdom, the Chechi Kingdom, the Xiliang Women's Kingdom, the Jisai Kingdom, the Zhuzi Kingdom, the Lion and Camel Kingdom, the Bhikkhu Kingdom, and destroy France. Just wait for my army! In this world, the Tang Dynasty is enough.

.”

Xuanzang and Fahai both set off, and Li Shimin immediately issued an order to make the journey in a square shape. Officials from various places opened green channels and escorted them directly to the border of the Tang Dynasty.

In this way, the eyes of Buddhism and other forces in the Three Realms will not be fixed on Datang, and it will be easier for him to operate.

In the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, there were very few monsters, but it was different in the border areas.

As soon as they approached the border and the Tang army withdrew, Xuanzang and his party encountered monsters, and all the disciples around him were eaten.

"This monk's tender skin and tender meat must be delicious. Two wise brothers, you come first."

Three monsters, General Yin, Xiong Shanjun and Special Agent, ate Tang Monk's disciples and were about to eat Xuanzang. The leader, General Yin, asked the other two to choose which part to eat first.

"I want to eat legs!"

"I want to eat my heart and liver~"

Xiong Shanjun, a special warrior with a ferocious face, opened his bloody mouth and rushed towards Xuanzang.
