C434 In the Golden Mountain Temple the Prophet Xuan Zang
In Journey to the West's original book, Tang Monk was truly worshipped by the entire Tang Dynasty's citizens during this conference, and was bestowed the title of a holy monk.
On the surface, it was just for Dragon King of the Jing River 's sake, but in reality, it was to let Guan Shiyin take the field and then support Tang Monk.
But now, Ao Mo actually gave a land and water magic gathering to the Buddhist sect on his own accord and even called Tang Monk to host it.
Did he really do this because he hoped that the buddhist faith would rise to prominence in this Water Law Meeting?
Did he really just give Tang Monk a favor for nothing?
If the Water and Land Meet were to be held smoothly, Tang Monk would become a holy monk with the help of Guan Shiyin. Then, the Buddhist declaration would be promoted in one day.
This favor was too great.
Unfortunately … That was impossible.
Ao Mo had never been a generous person. Once the news of the Water and Land Meet spread out, Gautama Buddha would probably be the first to suspect if Ao Mo had any schemes up his sleeve.
In fact, Ao Mo obviously had his own plans for this.
In reality, this was just a scheme. Although Tathagata guessed that Ao Mo had other plans, he wouldn't refuse the water and land meet.
After all, this was indeed the best opportunity for the buddhist faith to rise to prominence.
Last time, during the battle above Chang'an, because of Ao Mo, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and Lee Shimin were clearly deeply afraid of his sect. Even he, the Buddha, had a headache because of this.
How to make Lee Shimin accept the Buddhist Sect was indeed a difficult problem.
Once a person takes precedence over others, it would be difficult for them to change their mind …
On the other hand, the other party was the Great Wu Iron Emperor. It was impossible for the Buddhist Sect to give him a set of "Spiritual Perception Set." This time, Ao Mo intervening did bring great trouble to the Buddhist Sect.
But if he gave up this land and water magic meet, wouldn't that be the best opportunity? If he succeeded, then the buddhist faith would be deeply ingrained!
As for Ao Mo's thoughts, he could only wait until later to investigate them further.
"..."
Outside of Golden Mountain Temple, the imperial guards had already arrived. The one holding the imperial edict was the same person who had appeared that day, General Cheng Xie Jin.
The group of monks did not know the purpose of the arrival of the imperial guards and were all feeling apprehensive.
"Creak …"
The tall gate of the temple slowly opened and an old monk walked out. He respectfully saluted and then asked, "May I ask what you have to say, Shangguan?"
"There is a monk in Jinshan Temple called Chen Xuanzang. His nickname is Jiang Liu-er," Cheng said.
After the old monk heard this, he slowly said, "Reporting to the general, Xuanzang was indeed established at Golden Mountain Temple, but …"
"It's good that you have it! Hahaha … "Old monk, your Golden Mountain Temple has struck it rich this time. His Majesty has decreed that the young monk be allowed to receive the edict."
"..."
A handsome young monk sat cross-legged in the river beside the side door of the Golden Mountain Temple. His gaze was fixed on the slightly swaying lake water, giving him a sense of desolation.
"Xuanzang, Xuanzang..." The abbot is asking you, do you know? This is really good luck, this is really good luck! "
A young monk stumbled over, looking extremely excited, as if he was the one being summoned.
Xuan Zang said slowly, "Senior Mingkong, you have been out for a long time, but you are still out for a walk. This is not good."2
Monk Mingkong rubbed his head and did not mind and said:
"Xuanzang, I am not as perceptive as you. I will return the favor in the future. No matter what, hurry up and leave with me. His Majesty's decree has arrived!"
Chen Xuanzang slowly nodded his head and smiled, "Fine, let's go."
Even though he knew that His Majesty Great Emperor of the Tang Dynasty Di's imperial edict was coming, he did not show any signs of emotion. There was an indescribable profoundness within his eyes.
If there was one thing that needed to be described, it was: everything was within his grasp.
It was as if everything was under his control and there would be no mistakes.
Monk Ming Kong had no idea that Xuan Zang was thinking in his heart, "Has he finally arrived, a few days slower than I thought …"
This was to say that Xuan Zang had long known that this day would come.
Then the question was, if he was just an empty piece of paper, how could he predict?
