I have to say that the old man is unlucky, who told Li Shimin to meet Bai Yuqi "down to earth" as soon as he ascended the throne.

In just half a year, he, a "living immortal", has brought changes to Datang, which may be hundreds of thousands of years apart.

So much so that when Li Yuan saw the Taiji Imperial Capital, which had undergone earth-shaking changes, he felt as if he was in a different world.

It wasn't until he left the city that, except for a straight rocky avenue, Shino had reverted to his familiar appearance.

Li Yuan broke away from the memories of all thoughts, picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all, and let out a long breath, which could be regarded as completely letting go of the past.

"Who's in the way?"

"This is the car driven by the Wuji Emperor and the Emperor Taishang, and they don't quickly avoid it!"

While he was talking and laughing with Li Yuan, the voice of the [Wujimen] disciple suddenly came from outside the chariot.

Bai Yuqi looked out in curiosity, but saw a bald head in a gray robe blocking the middle of the road, blocking the way of the team.

"Poor monk Xuanzang, ask to see the emperor!"

The slightly rich gray-clothed bald head was not afraid, Shi Shiran's proclamation was a gesture, and he asked to see him loudly.

A few [Wujimen] disciples were about to drive them away, what were they kidding?

The people in the chariot are the Wuji Emperor and the Emperor Taishang, is that just someone who comes and says they want to see it?

But Bai Yuqi pushed the window and smiled: "Since you're here, come up and sit down!"

If he changed his bald head, Bai Yuqi might not be too lazy to take care of it, but it would be a pity not to see this.

Seeing Bai Yuqi speak, the disciples had no choice but to let the gray-clothed monk board the chariot, and then set off to continue walking.

"I've seen the emperor! I've seen your majesty!"

After Monk Xuanzang got into the car, he was led up to the second floor by the palace maid waiting in the car, and respectfully saluted Bai Yuqi and Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was obviously not interested in this bald head, and Li didn't bother to drink his wine.

Bai Yuqi looked at the legendary "Royal Brother" with interest.

I saw that he was dressed in a simple gray monk's robe, his face was white and he didn't need to be slightly rich, and he didn't look as loved as he said.

It's also strange to say, Daomen can't help but marry meaty, but they are generally thin.

But Buddhism began to abstain from meat and fish when Emperor Wu of Liang, but the monks generally seemed rich, and they didn't know what the reason was.

"Sit!"

After Bai Yuqi looked at it, he nodded to Xuanzang and asked him to sit down, and easily controlled the wine jug to fly up, and poured him a glass of fruit wine, which was considered a hospitality.

Xuanzang is also not polite, he thanked him for the seat and drank the wine, it seems that he doesn't pay attention to those.

"What is the monk looking for?"

Bai Yuqi looked at it interestingly, and pondered it with a bad taste, saying that Tang Seng meat was immortal after eating it, should you persuade him to cut a piece and give it to Li Yuan to taste, can he live a few more years?

"Emperor, the disciple has come to ask the emperor to solve his doubts, I hope the emperor can enlighten the disciple!"

Xuanzang was only twenty-five years old at this time, and he looked very young, but since he was a child, he participated in the study of Buddhist classics of various sects and sects, and he developed a somewhat calm bearing, and replied without being humble or arrogant.

At this time in history, Xuanzang should have asked Li Shimin Chen Biao to go west to seek the law, but was rejected, and began to plan to smuggle out of the country to learn the scriptures, but he didn't expect to set off yet.

That's right, the Tang monk in history was not a royal brother at all, but was smuggled out to learn scriptures, and he didn't go far and almost died in the hands of the prototype of the big apprentice.

Xuanzang will rise to the idea of going west to learn scriptures, in addition to the monk "Bopo" from Tianzhu, learned that Tianzhu Nalanda Temple has the "Yoga Treatise" three vehicles, so he decided to go to Tianzhu to seek the original scriptures, unify the differences between the north and south of the Central Plains, it is estimated that it is also related to the prosperity of Li Tang Taoism, Buddhism is difficult to contend with.

If Bai Yuqi hadn't entered, it would have been no surprise that Xuanzang would have been ready to smuggle in after the beginning of spring.

But the problem is that Bai Yuqi, the son of Wuji, was born out of thin air, and he performed miracles in Chang'an, making it more and more difficult for Buddhism to survive.

It really made the monks fall into self-doubt, the Taoist gods and goddesses have personally descended to earth, they have burned incense, and the scriptures have been recited, why does the Buddha not appear to the spirit?

Xuanzang came to stop him, probably for this purpose, and wanted to personally ask if there was a Buddha in the upper realm, and whether it was worth smuggling out to get the true scriptures?

After all, there is a living immortal in the local area, he has a true god and does not worship, and he goes all the way to Tianzhu to ask for Buddha, doesn't it feel a little silly?

Bai Yuqi almost didn't laugh out loud when asked by Xuanzang, who was full of confusion, and finally managed to maintain his image, blinked his eyes, and a thought suddenly popped up.

Strictly speaking, Bai Yuqi has no prejudice against religion, he doesn't believe in it anyway!

In addition, I have been bombarded by various Journey to the West works since I was a child, and I suddenly saw the character prototype appear in front of me, which is somewhat intimate, so ...... There's no time to explain, sit still! I'm going to start fooling around!

"You ask me if I have a 'Buddha'?"

Bai Yuqi smiled: "Then let me ask you, what is 'Buddha' in your heart?"

Xuanzang was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth but couldn't accurately say what he wanted to express for a while.

"You said you wanted to go west to get the scriptures. ”

"But do you want to ask for a 'Buddha' to come back, or do you want to ask for the truth in the original texts of the Three Vehicles?"

Bai Yuqi didn't wait for him to answer, so he said, "You don't even know what you want to ask for, so are you ready to ask for it in a daze?"

Xuanzang pondered for a long time before he said in confusion: "Please ask the emperor to solve the doubts for the disciple, what does the disciple want to seek?"

"You just want to ask to take the original scriptures back for comparison because the Buddhist scriptures of the Central Plains, after several dynasties and generations, have formed different schools, and each one is not clear about the argument. ”

Bai Yuqi didn't answer Xuanzang's question, and said to himself: "Since this is what you are asking for, then go west to seek scriptures by yourself, and come to ask me what I am doing?"

"No matter what you are asking for, it is nothing more than the classic books and articles summarized by the people of the Buddhists in the lower realm, so why should you care if there is a true Buddha?"

"The evolution of the Buddhist scriptures in the Central Plains is different, so it must be bad? Is what is recorded in the original scriptures the truth?"

"The rotation of the sun and the moon and the changes of the stars in this world are not immutable, don't you understand the truth of the vicissitudes of life and the passage of time?"

"Is the learning and teaching of a thousand years ago necessarily correct in the present world? Is the one who wrote your so-called 'Three Vehicles Original Texts' your so-called 'Buddha'?"

"Even if he is a 'Buddha', the truth realized by Tianzhu's 'Buddha' must be applicable when he gets the Central Plains?

Bai Yuqi asked a rhetorical question, which made Xuanzang dizzy, and also aroused the interest of Li Yuan, who was drinking on the side, and listened attentively.
