Chapter 481: Jin Chan's Plan to Journey to the West

Da Leiyin Temple, Daxiong Hall, Sanskrit sounds, golden flowers falling from the sky, golden lotuses surging from the ground!

Medicine Master sat on the lotus platform, looking at Guanyin, Manjusri, and Samantabhadra calmly, "The journey to the west can begin now."

Guanyin said with a stiff face, "Buddha, Jiang Liuer said he wanted to rest for a while."

"Rest for a while?"

"The journey to the west of Buddhism is related to the future and prosperity of Buddhism. There is no time for him to rest."

Medicine Master frowned.

Guanyin said helplessly, "Jin Chanzi said that if he is not allowed to rest, he will not travel west."

Guanyin raised her head and said, "Buddha, after Jin Chanzi reincarnated this time, I always feel that he has changed a little."

"Changed?"

"Yes, Jin Chanzi has changed, and has become unruly. Could it be the saint's side."

Guanyin said hesitantly.

"Absolutely impossible."

Pharmacist shook his head decisively. He glanced at Guanyin and said solemnly, "Go tell Jin Chanzi that the Buddhist journey to the west is urgent. You can rest, but you must not rest for too long."

"Yes."

Guanyin set out again and came to Jinguang Temple. After telling Jiang Liuer, he left.

Jiang Liuer looked at Guanyin's leaving figure, and a hint of coldness rose on his lips!

The reason for delaying the journey to the west is not to really rest.

It's to delay time!

In today's world, the calamity is increasing day by day, and it is getting stronger day by day. Everything is brewing.

The longer the delay, the stronger the calamity, and the more powerful it will be when it counterattacks!

According to the original plan, after the journey to the west, the more benefits the Buddhist sect can get, the greater the blow it will suffer.

In Jinguang Temple, Jiang Liuer took root completely and ordered people to collect all the books that could be collected, gather them in Jinguang Temple, and start reading.

Time flies, a year has passed!

Compared to a year ago, the calamity has climbed by about 5%!

During this period, Guanyin came to persuade Jiang Liuer, but was decisively rejected.

Time passed like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, four or five years had passed!

The speed of the growth of the heaven and earth calamity was getting faster and faster, and it was already 1.3 times that of a few years ago.

The people of the Buddhist sect urged more and more frequently.

Jiang Liuer calculated that the time had come, and after Guanyin came to urge him again, he decisively agreed.

Then he entered the palace, Taiji Hall, and Li Shimin finished a day's work, still in high spirits.

He asked Jiang Liuer with a smile, "Master, how come you have time to come to my Taiji Hall today!"

"I came here today because I have something to ask for your Majesty's approval."

Li Shimin frowned slightly, "Master, what are you talking about? Just tell me if you have something to say."

"I want to go to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures, and bring back the true scriptures of Dacheng Buddhism from the Great Leiyin Temple."

"There are already enough Buddhist scriptures in my Tang Dynasty, why do you need more?"

Li Shimin actually didn't like Buddhism. He held the water and land ceremony at the beginning, just to try desperate measures. Facts have proved that Buddhism is really not that good.

Jiang Liuer didn't say anything, but just pointed to the sky. Li Shimin immediately understood, "Then how long will it take to go to the West to obtain the scriptures?"

Jiang Liuer shook his head, "I don't know, maybe a few years, maybe decades."

Li Shimin thought for a while, "Obtaining scriptures is a big deal. I still need to find someone to discuss it. Master, please wait."

Li Shimin came to the Taiji Hall and summoned civil and military officials to discuss the matter.

Finally, with the full support of Li Shimin, the journey to the west was easily passed.

Jiang Liuer returned to Jinguang Temple, and Guanyin was already waiting.

"How is it going? Has the King of Tang agreed?"

An important part of the journey to the west is the King of Tang's consent.

If the King of Tang agrees, it will represent Mahayana Buddhism, get official recognition, and spread, and it will naturally go smoothly and be successful.

Without official endorsement, even if the true scriptures are successfully retrieved, the Buddhist sect will not get any benefits.

Jiang Liuer nodded, "The King of Tang has agreed, and the journey to the west will start soon."

"Okay, I will go back and report to the Buddha."

Guanyin hurriedly left Jinguang Temple. During this period of time, running around, Guanyin felt that she had lost a lot of weight.

In the Great Leiyin Temple, the Great Hall, the Medicine Master smiled, "Okay, the journey to the west will start."

After speaking, two items appeared in his hand, a brocade cassock and a nine-ring tin staff.

It is glittering, inlaid with various jewels and jades, exuding brilliant colors. You can tell at a glance that it is an extraordinary thing.

These are just secondary. If there are great supernatural powers here, they can see the heavenly calamity contained in the brocade cassock and the nine-ring tin staff!

In other words, these two spiritual treasures are heavenly treasures, treasures born for the great calamity.

"Go to Chang'an again and give this treasure to Jiang Liuer."

"Yes."

Guanyin took the treasure and left the Great Leiyin Temple again.

In the Taiji Hall, Li Shimin summoned all civil and military officials and started the daily morning meeting.

At this moment, someone outside the hall exclaimed.

Li Shimin frowned, "Who is shouting? Go out and see."

The old eunuch beside Li Shimin hurried out and came back to report, "Your Majesty, the immortal, there is an immortal outside, and he wants to see your majesty."

"Immortal?"

"Let him in."

Li Shimin waved his hand.

After a while, the old eunuch and an old monk with white hair and beard came in.

Beside the old monk was a young monk holding a nine-ring staff in one hand and a red plate in the other.

"Is the King of Tang going to send someone to the West to obtain the scriptures?"

"That's right."

Li Shimin could not deny it.

The old monk smiled and said, "Going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures is indeed a good thing for the country and the people. The Dacheng Buddhist scriptures contain supreme knowledge."

Li Shimin said impatiently, "Masters, what do you want to say?"

The old monk's face flashed with embarrassment, "My disciples and I have traveled around the world and obtained two treasures. The first is the brocade cassock and the second is the nine-ring staff. I heard that the King of Tang wants to send someone to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, so I specially gave it to the sutra seeker."

"Disciple, why don't you show it to the King of Tang."

The little monk lifted the red cloth covering the nine-ring staff and spread out the brocade cassock. Immediately, the Taiji Hall was filled with a dazzling array of jewels and treasures.

"What a treasure!"

"Such a rare treasure, you are willing to give it out."

"Hiss, these two monks are extraordinary people."

Li Shimin said, "Okay, I will pass it to the person who is seeking the scriptures for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The old monk put his hands together and walked out of the hall with the little monk.

Soon, Li Shimin handed over the brocade cassock and the nine-ring tin staff to Jiang Liuer.

Jiang Liuer put on the cassock and held the nine-ring tin staff in his hand. He suddenly transformed from a handsome young man into a Buddhist monk, emitting bursts of Brahma light all over his body, and his appearance was extremely extraordinary.

After everything was ready, Li Shimin officially announced the news that he wanted Jiang Liuer to go to the West to seek the scriptures!

On this day, all the civil and military officials in Chang'an City went out together, and Tang Wang Li Shimin personally sent Jiang Liuer off outside the city.

Li Shimin ordered someone to bring the imperial wine and solemnly offered it to Jiang Liuer, "The journey to the west is full of hardships. I will wait for you to come back in Chang'an."

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.

Jiang Liuer also picked up the wine glass, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will come back."
