Demon Master Becomes a Saint

Chapter 460

Just as Guanyin Bodhisattva was about to leave, someone asked how much the cassock in Guanyin Bodhisattva's hand cost.

Seeing it in the dark, Kunpeng sighed, "the will of heaven is so, you can't go against it." so Chuan Yin Yu Cangjie asked him to leave and stop caring about Guanyin Bodhisattva.

After Cangjie got the order, he sighed and left without words. His move puzzled Guanyin Bodhisattva. But she didn't have time to think. The questioner was asking her the value of cassock again.

Just listen, Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "the cassock is 5000 Liang and the tin stick is 2000 Liang."

The person who asked for the price was not an ordinary person, but Xiao Xing, the Prime Minister of the current Dynasty. Xiao Xing asked, "what's the difference between this cassock and you want such a high price?"

Seeing that Xiao Xing was full of officialdom, Guanyin Bodhisattva immediately forgot what Cangjie said just now. She only heard her say: "if you wear my cassock, you will not sink, fall into hell, be free from vicious difficulties, and encounter the den of tigers and wolves."

Guanyin Bodhisattva then turned his voice and said, "however, if someone respects the three treasures, rejoices when he sees good, and converts to my Buddha, I will give him the cassock and tin stick for free to form a good relationship."

Hearing this, Prime Minister Xiao Xing immediately dismounted and met Guanyin Bodhisattva with courtesy and said, "the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is very kind, and all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty adhere to it. Now the water and land assembly has been built, and this cassock is just worn by master Chen Xuanzang. How about you follow me to the court to see the king?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva readily accepted it and went into the palace with Xiao Xing. When he came to the hall, King Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty asked, "Xiao Xing, what's important for you to come to the mask?"

Xiao Xing bowed his head and said, "I came across two monks in the city who were selling cassocks and tin sticks. Master Xuan Zang, who is a great master of chensi, can wear this dress, so he led the monk to visit."

Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was overjoyed at the speech and asked how much the cassock was worth. Guanyin Bodhisattva replied, "the cassock is 5000 Liang and the tin stick is 2000 Liang."

Hearing the price, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin asked, "what's the advantage of your cassock? It's worth so much?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva took out the cassock and saw that the great hall was full of treasure. There were Ruyi beads, Mani beads, Bichen beads and Dingfeng beads on the cassock. And the red agate, the purple coral, the night pearl and the relic. Steal the white moon and fight for the red with the sun. All the immortals are full of air, and the auspicious light holds the saint.

Even if Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't say anything, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin knew the value of this cassock. He only heard Li Shimin say, "this Dafa elder, I really don't hide it from you. Now I'm good at teaching and planting Futian. I see many monks gathered in the Huasheng temple to perform scriptures. There is a great virtuous Walker named Xuanzang. I want to buy these two treasures and give them to him for use. I don't know what price you ask?"

After hearing the speech, Guanyin Bodhisattva joined hands with wooden fork to convert. He said the Buddha's name, bowed and said, "since he has virtue, the poor monk is willing to give him, and will never ask for money." after saying that, he withdrew and left.

Li Shimin, king of the Tang Dynasty, urgently ordered Xiao Xing to stop Guanyin Bodhisattva, and then asked, "you said 5000 liang of cassock and 2000 liang of tin staff. When you see that I want to buy it and don't want money, you must be afraid that I rely on your position and force your things? You can rest assured that I will buy it at your original price and won't force your things."

Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "I have a wish. I said that I respect the three treasures, rejoice when I see the good, and convert to my Buddha. I don't want money. I'm willing to give it to him. Now I see that your majesty knows virtue and stops the good, respects my Buddhism, and the eminent monk has virtue and deeds. He preaches the Dharma. He should offer it and never ask for money."

Li Shimin, king of the Tang Dynasty, was very happy to see Guanyin Bodhisattva's diligence and ordered Guanglu temple to arrange a vegetarian banquet to reward him. Guanyin Bodhisattva refused to accept it and went away smoothly.

The move of Li Shimin, the king of the Tang Dynasty, greatly displeased Kunpeng, who had been secretly observing, so he became an old man and came to the palace gate to see Li Shimin, the king of the Tang Dynasty.

When the prime minister Xiao Xing just left the palace, he didn't expect to encounter it again, so he asked, "old man, what's important for you to ask to see the emperor? Can you tell me?"

Kunpeng sighed, "it's not up to you. It's useless to say and listen to you. You may take me into the palace?"

Although the prime minister Xiao Xing didn't know why Kunpeng wanted to enter the palace, he seemed to understand that this matter must be important, so he took Kunpeng into the palace to see him again.

When Li Shimin, king of the Tang Dynasty, was happy, he saw Xiao Xing coming back again and asked, "Xiao Aiqing, why are you coming back to see me this time?"

Xiao Xing came forward and said, "Your Majesty, I met an old man outside the palace gate and said I had something important to see you. I was afraid it was important, so I had to bring him to see you."

Li Shimin, king of the Tang Dynasty, was greatly surprised to hear this. At this time, the whole Tang Dynasty is rich and strong, and the country is healthy. So he asked, "old man, why did you come to see me?"

Kunpeng said, "I came for the country."

Li Shimin, king of the Tang Dynasty, said with a smile, "now the country is in good health and the people live and work in peace and contentment. I don't know what the old man came for?"

Kunpeng asked, "Your Majesty, you shouldn't have worked so hard to build Buddhist temples all over the country. In addition to wasting a lot of money, what benefits can you bring to the country?"

Hearing this, Xiao Xing said, "the old man can't say that. The Buddhism urges people to be kind. Your Majesty's move is also for the consideration of the country. If people all over the world can have a kind heart, the country will be forever solid."

Kunpeng asked, "is that why your majesty has made great efforts to build Buddhist halls?"

Li Shimin, king of the Tang Dynasty, said, "that's right."

Kunpeng sneered and said, "did your majesty ever consider that people all over the country become monks, so who will protect the family for the country, and those monks will only ask for people's money without production and paying taxes. What will the country look like over time?"

Li Shimin, king of the Tang Dynasty, said, "the old man is worried about this. Although these monks do not make production, they can persuade people to be good and reduce lawless people in the country, which is of great benefit to the country."

Seeing that Li Shimin, king of the Tang Dynasty, maintained Buddhism in this way, it was useless to persuade him again, so Kunpeng sighed: "today, because of the fruit of tomorrow, your majesty should not forget his ancestors. There will be great disasters in the future."

Kunpeng said and wanted to leave. Li Shimin immediately ordered Xiao Xing to stop him. He only heard Li Shimin ask, "old man, what do you mean by this?"

Kunpeng sneered: "what do I mean? Your majesty should understand that Buddhism is just an external sect, and your Majesty's great promotion of Buddhism forgets the local Taoism, not forgetting the ancestors. What is it?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin, king of the Tang Dynasty, was furious and said, "presumptuous!"

When Li Shimin was angry, Xiao Xing quickly stopped Kunpeng and said, "Your Majesty, the old man is also confused for a while and has no malice. I hope you don't care about it!"

Kunpeng disagreed and said: "I don't need you to intercede for him. As an emperor, he forgot his roots. In those days, the sage said that the human race can only rely on themselves. Since the flood and famine, the human race has come to this day step by step by relying on the spirit of self-reliance. Now his Majesty regards national affairs as a child's play and teaches the people's hearts to outsiders, but it's not for the king's way. As a minister, you don't know how to dissuade, and you also forget the thought of Confucianism If you govern the country like this, the world will be in chaos. "

Li Shimin immediately said angrily, "come and take down those who provoke the crowd with this evil speech."

Kunpeng snorted coldly and said, "you mortals want to capture me too much." Kunpeng didn't want to entangle with Li Shimin anymore, so he disappeared directly on the hall.

Li Shimin, who was originally very angry, was shocked when he saw this scene, and Prime Minister Xiao Xing was also very surprised. Both of them couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. They secretly said, "look, we have to fight back when we come to the Taoist gate!"

After a while, Li Shimin said, "Xiao Aiqing, it seems that the old man is also a man of Tao. It seems that I strongly support Buddhism, but it has attracted the dissatisfaction of Taoism. What's your opinion on this matter?"

Xiao Xing thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, now the Buddhism is powerful. Even if the Taoism is dissatisfied, it is normal. Practitioners only care about themselves, while Buddhism urges people to be good. There is no need to pay too much attention to him."

Li Shimin sighed: "I'm afraid that the Taoist school will be unwilling and cause trouble. It's better to invite a Taoist school disciple to be a national teacher. In this way, we can also calm the Taoist school's dissatisfaction."
