Chapter 71: Natural disaster? Man-made disaster?

Chang'an City, Big Buddha Temple.

"What should I do? What should I do now?" The Dragon-Surrendering Arhat was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pan, he kept paced back and forth, feeling that he had no control.

The Buddha ordered himself to go down to the world to guide Jin Chanzi to reincarnate and embark on the road to travel west to obtain scriptures. Unexpectedly, he was transformed into the current situation by himself.

If Xuanzang really holds the wedding openly, even if he really travels west to seek scriptures in the future, this will be a huge stain for Buddhism.

When asked, who will bear this responsibility?

Jin Chanzi is the second disciple of the Buddha. If he succeeds in obtaining the scriptures, he will definitely be granted the Buddha. Will he be responsible for his great contribution?

In the end, you have to bear this responsibility yourself?

The development of the matter was completely beyond the expectations of Jianglong. No one expected that as a Buddhist disciple of the Twelve Jiescars, Xuanzang was so crazy that he sweared to the sky and wanted to marry a wife.

Even though he didn't expect that he had to force Xuanzang back, this was a matter within Buddhism, right? The Human Emperor would actually stand up to protect him.

At this time, the Dragon Subduing Arhat had no idea at all and didn't know what to do next.

"Amitabha, the dragon descends, I and the Buddha already know about the matter here..." Just as the dragon descends remembered like an ant on a hot pan and didn't know what to do, suddenly, the Buddha's light shone brightly in the Zen room and a sound rang out.

"Guanyin Bodhisattva, if you have any mistakes in descending the dragon, please punish me..." After hearing this voice, Zhuanglong certainly understood who the owner of the voice was, and admitted his mistake calmly.

"The next thing is left to me. You can go back to Lingshan." Without saying much, nor without politeness, after the voice of Guanyin Bodhisattva fell, the Buddha light in the Zen room quickly dissipated.

As for the Dragon Subduing Arhat, his expression was gloomy.

He knew very well that he had messed up this matter and asked himself to go back to Lingshan, obviously to receive punishment, and he had no chance to make meritorious deeds.

...

The rising sun rises, and the golden rooster is dawning.

There is a small mountain village about hundreds of miles away in Chang'an City. The village is silent. Since Jiang Liu and Gao Yang lived in seclusion in this village that day, they were attacked by bandits. Although the bandits were killed later, many people died in the village.

For a small mountain village with only a few dozen households, this is naturally a heavy blow.

However, the dead are gone, and those who survive will continue to live, right?

After the dawn of the golden rooster, the villagers in the village woke up one after another. After washing up, an old man in his sixties walked towards his farmland with his back hunched over.

Calculate the days, it is time to harvest the food in the farmland. I don’t know how it will grow. Let’s go and check it out first and then determine the harvest day.

However, when the old man came to the edge of the farmland, he felt as if he was struck by lightning, as if he was stunned.

The farmland is already in a mess, and wherever you see, a large area of ​​black locusts are flying in the farmland, and the food they planted is almost gnawed out.

Looking further into the distance, swarms of locusts flew past the air, like dark clouds.

"It's over...it's over...it's over." Looking at the scene in front of you, the big locust plague that was rare in a century, the old man whispered in his mouth, almost with despair in his eyes.

For the villagers, the food in the farmland is the foundation of family life. If it is gone, people will die.

In Chang'an City, within the imperial palace.

Although Princess Gaoyang’s affairs are sad, as the king of a country, Li Shimin’s focus is still on the country.

But today, bad news came, and a huge locust plague that was rare in a century swept across the world. News of locust plagues were reported from all over the country, which made the civil and military officials in the court look solemn.

"Your Majesty, now there are locust plagues everywhere. If you don't think of a way to come out, the country will be in turmoil and the people will live in poverty." Some old ministers shouted in grief on the hall.

"Why did this locust plague come for no reason? There was really no sign before," Li Shimin murmured in his heart while sitting on the dragon throne.

Although disasters are terrible, this unstoppable disaster is like pushing down the mountain of gold and jade pillars, making people unpredictable. This is the even more terrifying thing.

As the king of a country, even if he feels caught off guard in his heart, he cannot show it on the surface and is forced to calm himself down.

He also knew what the consequences of this locust plague would lead to, so Li Shimin could only issue corresponding orders as much as possible to deal with the arrival of the locust plague and minimize the disaster as much as possible.

However, as orders fell one after another, all the civil and military officials in the court started to work hard to deal with the locust plague. However, Li Shimin suddenly remembered what the Dragon Subduing Arhat said before.

At that time, the Dragon-Subduing Arhat said that if you act against the heavens, disasters will come to heaven!?

"Okay, retreat to the court!" After the order was issued, there was no important matter to discuss. Li Shimin retired to the court, so that all the ministers of civil and military officials could operate as soon as possible.

However, after retreating to his bedroom, Li Shimin quickly asked someone to inform Master Yuan Tiangang to come.

"Master Yuan..." After seeing Yuan Tiangang coming and Li Shimin gave him a seat, he opened his mouth and said.

"I know what Your Majesty is asking."

However, before Li Shimin asked, Yuan Tiangang took the initiative to speak: "This locust plague is indeed strange. Before coming, I had already calculated it, even burned incense and prayed, and received instructions from the gods in the sky."

"Oh? I don't know what the result is? Where did this locust plague come from? What instructions does the gods have?" Li Shimin asked anxiously after hearing Yuan Tiangang's words.

"As the dragon said, whether it was my calculation or the instructions of the gods in the sky, the conclusions we came to were the same. Your Majesty did something contrary to the way of heaven, so the heaven was furious and brought down such natural disasters. A few days ago, Master Xuanzang swears to the sky, and there is a thunder sound to warn the heaven..."

"Is it really against the will of heaven? The words of the Dragon Subduing Arhat on that day were not exaggerated?" Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this.

No matter how strong the Buddha and Bodhisattva are, no matter how powerful the Buddhist power is, it cannot represent the way of heaven. Therefore, Li Shimin only thought that what the Dragon Subdued that day said was alarmist and not cared about.

But today, is it really God punished?

What kind of mission does Master Xuanzang shoulder? He was even furious to heaven? He did not hesitate to bring disaster to the Tang Dynasty?

"Wuliang Tianzun, Your Majesty, the roots are clear. You should make a decision. Otherwise, it would be more than a locust plague. Water disasters and plagues will appear one after another," Yuan Tiangang whispered.

There are more than tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty? One day later, the greater the damage it will cause to the entire Tang Dynasty.

As the king of a country, after Li Shimin understood all the root causes of things, he naturally had to make decisions as soon as possible.

In Gao Yang's bedroom, Jiang Liu looked listless, but his eyes were staring at the girl on the bed.

Nearly a month has passed, and there have been more and more rotten areas on Gao Yang's body, and even a foul smell has emanated from his body.

Recently, most of her have been in a coma and she has less and less time to wake up and talk to herself.

These days, Jiang Liu can be said to have tried his best.

Neither Guanyin mantra nor healing potions have any effect, and they cannot even slow down the spread of toxicity.

I even cut blood and feed her. Since my flesh and blood can make people live forever, I wonder if it can also play a role?

I also tried it with the idea of ​​"a dead horse" as a living horse, but it also did not improve. My own flesh and blood can make people immortal, but it cannot make people immortal.

In recent days, I can even hear the palace maids sobbing in a low voice. It is obvious that Gao Yang is almost rotting all over his body, which makes people feel distressed and sad.

"It seems that I can only have a big gamble in the end?"
