Chapter 721 Guanyin
"Send it here," Liu Bei said, frowning.
He didn't know what the monk had come for.
Didn't he know that Liu Bei believed in Taoism?
Before long, the two monks arrived.
Two monks arrived.
Liu Bei asked, "Who is this person?"
The leading monk clasped his hands together respectfully and said, “Your Majesty, I am a humble monk named Han Xuanzang, who wishes to travel to the Western Paradise to obtain the true scriptures in order to save all sentient beings. Having heard of Your Majesty’s benevolence, I have come to humbly request Your Majesty to grant me a travel permit. I hope Your Majesty will grant my request.”
After all, Liu Bei often talked about benevolence and righteousness.
And this Xuanzang is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi.
Originally, I was supposed to be reincarnated ten times, but there's no time for that now, so this is the only way for now!
...........................
Liu Bei sized up Han Xuanzang, pondering whether this suddenly appearing monk was related to the dream that the Dragon King of the Jing River had given him.
Seeing that Liu Bei did not respond immediately, Xuanzang continued, "If Your Majesty can grant my request, this humble monk is willing to recognize Your Majesty as my younger brother. When I return from my pilgrimage, I will surely pray for Your Majesty's well-being and ensure the peace and prosperity of our Han Dynasty."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a lot of discussion in the court.
"Holy crap, what did you say, monk? You're acknowledging His Majesty as your imperial brother?"
"What the hell?! How dare you?"
At this moment, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's faces darkened.
Damn it, this monk is too arrogant!
Don't they know that the three brothers are sworn brothers?
What, you think you can be their older brother?
"Come on, monk, let's see if I, Old Zhang, don't poke hundreds of holes in you!" Zhang Fei said, about to strike, but the others pulled him back.
Liu Bei sneered inwardly.
"Xuanzang, how dare you be so rude! Guards, throw him out!"
Then the guards stepped forward and tried to drag the two monks away.
But at that moment, the monk next to Xuanzang emitted a light and then transformed into the appearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Upon seeing this, those in the imperial court who believed in Guanyin all knelt down.
The ministers knelt down one after another, shouting, "Guanyin Bodhisattva, have mercy!"
The scene was spectacular.
Liu Bei also stood up from the dragon throne, bowed slightly, and looked somewhat shocked.
He never expected it to be Guanyin!
........................
Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled slightly, like a blooming lotus flower, and said softly, "Your Majesty, the monk Xuanzang is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi. This journey to retrieve the scriptures is the will of the Buddha of the Western Paradise, and it will also benefit the fate of the Han Dynasty."
"I hope Your Majesty can grant this wish and bring this matter to fruition." Although Guanyin addressed him as "Your Majesty," she showed him no respect whatsoever.
Indeed, even Li Shimin, the strongest carbon-based life form in the seventh century and the later Asian continental governor, was looked down upon by her!
At this moment, Liu Bei was in a dilemma, feeling lost and confused. On the one hand, he was unwilling to easily agree to be recognized as the imperial brother, and on the other hand, he was afraid of offending Guanyin Bodhisattva.
This really put him in a difficult position!
At this moment, Jia Xu stepped forward, cupped his hands in a salute, and said, "Bodhisattva, we know that the journey to the West is of great significance, but what is the explanation for His Majesty's dream of the Dragon King of the Jing River? Is there any connection between the two? We hope that the Bodhisattva will enlighten us."
Seeing Jia Xu come out, I thought to myself, "You're really stubborn, daring to question Guanyin."
But everyone behind them secretly gave them a thumbs up!
Guanyin Bodhisattva's eyes flashed slightly, like two bolts of lightning, and she said, "The matter of the Jing River Dragon King is caused by his personal resentment and has nothing to do with the pilgrimage. Your Majesty only needs to comply with Master Xuanzang's request, and this matter will naturally be properly resolved."
Upon hearing this, Liu Bei felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss, racking his brains and not knowing what to do.
The court was completely silent; everyone held their breath, awaiting his decision.
After all, they dared not make arrangements for Liu Bei.
..............................
At this moment, Guan Yu stepped forward because he was the elder brother, and he was naturally unhappy that his elder brother had been insulted.
Guan Yu then said loudly, "I think this is inappropriate!"
"What's wrong?" Guanyin Bodhisattva raised her eyes and looked directly at Guan Yu, her gaze piercing.
Guan Yu's expression changed, as if facing a formidable enemy, while Guanyin Bodhisattva continued, "The Buddha Tathagata has said that your great Han Dynasty in the East is so prosperous and densely populated that it is full of greed, killing, lust, deceit, fraud, and treachery. It does not follow Buddhism, does not follow good karma, does not respect the three luminaries (sun, moon, and stars), and does not value the five grains... Moreover, the people there are foolish and ignorant, slandering the true words and not understanding the profound meaning of my Buddhist teachings."
Upon hearing Guanyin's words, everyone was struck dumb, their faces turning extremely pale!
