The Journey to the West tells the story of the Tang monks and disciples who have gone through all kinds of difficulties and dangers and finally arrived at the Spirit Mountain to obtain the True Scriptures. Starting from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, Tang Monk has traveled a total of 108,000 miles, and it took 9981 difficulties to obtain the title of The Buddha of Suntan Gongde, and when we first saw this number, we would only sigh a sentence: Old Tang has walked a really long road, and it takes enough time, so give him a big thumbs up. However, if we know the oath that Tang Monk made in front of Li Shimin before leaving, we will find that Tang Monk is overdue.
Before Elder Tang left, he repeatedly assured Li Shimin that ————
Taizong laughed and said, "'
It is said that three years will return to China, but our master Tang has dragged out the time for 14 years, like old Tang, who did not complete the work on time, in most cases will definitely be blamed by the boss, but the strange thing is that Li Shimin does not have any opinion on this, and still happily takes a large group of people to meet his royal brother.
Most people in high positions have tempers, so how did Li Shimin become an exception?
In fact, it is not that Li Shimin has a good temper, but that he has already looked down on all this.
The enmity between the Dragon King of Jinghe and Wei Zheng dragged Li Shimin in, and he originally wanted to do a good deed to save the dragon's life, but he did not get the support of Wei Zheng' courtier.
The two people who should have played chess seriously ended up sleeping because Wei Zheng fell asleep in the middle, and it was this dream that killed the Jinghe Dragon King.
Then Tang Taizong got the ticket for the day trip to the difu, where he saw Li Jiancheng, who had killed him, and also saw——
Hanging prisons, ghosts, and fire pits, there are few lonely people, troubles and troubles, all of them have done a thousand kinds of karma before they die, and they will be charged after death. Prison of the capital, prison of tongue pulling, prison of peeling skin, weeping and crying, miserable and miserable, only because of infidelity and filial piety, the heart of the Buddha's mouth and snake fell into this door...
This kind of experience left him with a lot of shadows. Before going out from here, the judge also told him many times that when he returned, he would remember to open a land and water conference, so that he could get rid of these beings.
This trend and plot direction are difficult for us to think that Tang Taizong did not care about this, but after returning the soul, he took all this to heart, and arranged the water and land conference and arranged for the great cause of learning the scriptures. If he's not in a hurry, isn't that a joke?
To solve this problem, we have to pay attention to a small detail, Tang Taizong in the prefectural government in addition to encountering these wronged ghosts, but also got the treatment of increasing life expectancy. When Judge Cui urged King Yan to take the book of life and death, he made a major change, changing the above thirteen years to thirty-three years, and Li Shimin gained a life expectancy of 20 years.
Since he had 20 years of living heads, those unjust souls could not go to the human world, then he could completely extend the period for Tang Monk to take the scriptures to 20 years, anyway, he could come back before he died, and this matter was his head, and if he came, he must let him taste the sweetness, so he was not in a hurry.
