Chapter 43
Master Xuanzang, who is not confused at the age of time, is not at all the white-faced monk that Shang Shang imagined. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe long arduous trek and the hard work after returning to China have made this Buddhist master prematurely show a tendency to be in shape, sitting in the middle of the mountains of scriptures, and he looks even more paper-thin.
Seeing Shang Shang walking into the door with some curiosity behind the debate machine, Xuanzang's eyes full of wisdom were calm and unwavering, but a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Female benefactor! Xuanzang, a poor monk, took the liberty of asking for forgiveness. Xuanzang's voice is soft and beautiful, with some very comfortable resonance.
"You're welcome!" The merchant gave a salute to Xuanzang. Although he knew that this person would not be the same person as the long-winded monk in Journey to the West, Shang Shang still felt a little strange in his heart.
This is clearly a person in the myth who suddenly ran in front of her? I also greeted her with a smile on my face, this feeling is too indescribable!
Facing Xuanzang's perceptive eyes, Shang Shang was a little cramped, the gray monk's robe was extremely ordinary, but it made her feel more uncomfortable than the flamboyant red robe of the debate machine, as if all her secrets were not covered in front of this person, and she was exposed to the sun in a daze.
"I don't know what the master is doing when he calls the merchants?" Shang Shang coughed lightly and was the first to ask his own question.
"Debater, you go out first! I have something to say to this benefactor. Xuanzang sent away the debate machine that was standing on the side, and then turned back to look at the businessman.
When only Xuanzang and Shang Shang were left in the room, Xuanzang, who was originally sitting in a pile of scriptures, suddenly smiled, and Shang Shang was stunned.
"Female donor, the poor monk has something to ask for, I wonder if the female donor can agree?"
Xuanzang's sudden request really made Shang Shang a little dumbfounded, she couldn't understand what was so special about herself, and she was actually worthy of a sect to ask her for a promise.
"Lan Xin doesn't dare, the master has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Although I don't know what Xuanzang asked her for, it must not be easy to let a person who was regarded as a guest of honor by Emperor Tang personally ask for it, she didn't want to say yes with a big mouth, but in the end she couldn't do it.
"I don't know if the donor knows how many sects of my Buddhism are there?" Xuanzang smiled slightly, and suddenly changed the topic.
"Uh---- Lan Xin doesn't know, please teach the master." Although she didn't understand what Xuanzang was making trouble about, Shangshang was still very patient and waited for Xuanzang to explain her doubts.
"Buddhism from the Han Dynasty from Tianzhu into our country to the present, has been divided into eight major sects, namely the Lotus sect, Huayan sect, the Dharma Xiang sect, the three treatise sect, the Kusha sect, the Pure Land sect, the Yu sect and the tantric sect., among which the poor monk is the Dharma Xiang Zhi Zong, that is, the Dharma Xiang Zong."
Xuanzang explained one by one patiently, but did a popularization of Buddhist knowledge for the merchants, looking at the merchants who still did not know why, Xuanzang said:
"The things entrusted by the poor monks to the Lord have a great relationship with our Faxiang Sect."
As soon as the words fell, Xuanzang stood up from a pile of scriptures, looked at the businessmen sitting opposite him with a solemn face, and respectfully saluted.
This is no ordinary ceremony! The sect master of the Faxiang Sect and the famous Master Xuanzang through the ages! Such a big gift to her as a woman frightened the businessman who was originally sitting peacefully, and quickly stood up and avoided the side.
"Master, why is this, isn't this tormenting Lan Xin?" The merchant rolled his eyes in annoyance, but he regretted in his heart that he shouldn't have entered this door: Is this gift so pleasant? Why did you, the old monk Xuanzang, come to such a show quietly?
"Donor! You must accept this gift, and whether or not the lineage of my Faxiang Sect can be passed on steadily for eternity in the future depends on the benefactor's fulfillment. Xuanzang bowed solemnly to the businessmen who had been avoided.
"What does this mean? Won't I promise you that this Faxiang Sect will not be passed on? Shang Shang shouted angrily, she is a girl, you are a group of monks, and you have nothing to do with her eight poles.
"Why don't you ask the dragon robe outside, why do you ask me? I have no power and no money, what can I help you? Shang Shang looked at the serious Xuanzang with a smile, lowered his voice and pointed to the heavily guarded imperial scripture hall outside the door.
There is the current lord of a country sitting in it, what are this master Xuanzang and her little woman doing here? Isn't it a waste of effort?
"The female donor doesn't know that among the eight sects of Buddhism, only the self-law sect is the weakest."
Xuanzang looked at the unknown woman in front of her with some emotion, no wonder she didn't understand, these are all internal affairs in the teaching, where do ordinary people know? He also had no choice but to make this decision, just to ensure that the sect of the Faxiang Sect could last for eternity and would not decline halfway.
"On the many Buddhist classics, the profundity of Buddhism, my Dharma Xiangzong can be called the first, but it is a pity that the world is dull, not everyone can understand the essence of Buddhism, and the monks of this sect study more Buddhism and less of the world. The rest of the sects are wide open and accept believers. It is extremely difficult to inherit my Faxiangzong, and now there is still a poor monk who can support it in the name of traveling westward to learn scriptures, but in the long run, my Faxiangzong may be in danger of extinction! ā
Xuanzang sighed lightly, he was originally an outsider who studied Buddhism, but now he had to ask a woman who had never known her life for this worldly matter, and he was really a little embarrassed.
"But ----wouldn't it be better for you to ask the emperor for these things? As long as he gives an order, are you still afraid that this Tang Dynasty will not respect your Faxiangzong? Shang Shang finally understood some of the reasons, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't understand why Tang Xuanzang wanted to go far and find her such an unknown little woman.
"Does the donor think that there is a dynasty in this world that will not be extinguished for hundreds of generations?"
Xuanzang looked at Shang Shang quietly, and there seemed to be a sword light in his calm eyes, which made Shang Shang feel frightened, did he know something?
But where did the master start with this? The Tang Dynasty is now in the midst of its national fortunes, why does the master want to sigh this Sima Niu? The merchant was stubborn, but he didn't dare to look at Xuanzang.
It's a joke, how can there be any immortal dynasty for hundreds of generations in this world? It's just that those who are emperors deceive themselves!
"Donor! In front of the Buddha, you must not speak. Xuanzang said lightly. With his experience, how can he not see that the businessman is just perfunctory? It's just that she doesn't want to say it, and he doesn't force her. As long as she agreed to what he asked.
"Since you can't even trust the emperor, what guarantee can I give you?" The businessman saw that Xuanzang did not accept the offer, and he had no way.
But since he can't even be the emperor, why does he Xuanzang want her to do this impossible thing? Isn't that a fantasy?
"Don't be presumptuous! You are the only person who has enjoyed the luck of a thousand years as seen by the poor monk, and where can the king of a country compare with you? ā
Xuanzang chuckled when she heard this, since she had entered the Ou, the next words were simple.
Until she came out of Master Xuanzang's meditation room, Shang Shang still maintained a sleepwalking-like state, even the debate master beside her who was like a celestial man failed to arouse half of her interest.
"Millennial luck? Are you kidding? ā
The merchant walked to the release pond of Huguo Temple like a wandering spirit, looked at the little turtle at the bottom of the pond in a daze, and muttered to himself. The jade and jade card in her hand made her hand hurt.
"Merchant! What happened to you? What did Master Xuanzang say to you? Seeing that the merchant god was not guarding, Yu Wenjing, who had been staying outside the meditation room and did not leave, finally couldn't help it at this time.
It's just a stick of incense, and it's still good when you go in, but why did it become like this when you come out? I don't even know how to flash even if I hit someone!
"The donor doesn't have to worry too much, this female donor is just confused for a while, and when she understands it, she will come to her senses." The debate machine on the side looked at the appearance of the businessman, and hurriedly pulled Yu Wenjing aside and explained softly.
According to the master's explanation, in the future, this female benefactor will be the protector elder of the Faxiangzong, but if there is an order that the disciples of the Faxiangzong must not be violated, she needs to be the first to look forward, and Master Xuanzang also specially explained the opportunity to protect her from the Huguo Temple safely, saying that she was confused at this time and could not let her go.
"Su Lanxin? Why are you again? A crisp woman's voice suddenly sounded by the pool.
The merchant in the chaos suddenly heard this voice, and he was caught off guard and snorted. When I followed the sound, I saw a woman dressed in a costume walking over from the peony bush by the pool.
In the peony bush that bloomed purple and red, the eight-folded Luo skirt like a flame came close in a flash, because of the relationship against the light, the face of the flower seemed to be hit with a layer of golden light, and in a trance the merchant actually felt like he had seen the phoenix of Nirvana, brilliant and dazzling!
"Princess Gaoyang?!"
After seeing the person in front of him clearly, Shang Shang cried out in some surprise. As soon as she returned to Chang'an, she hurried back to the palace, but she didn't know that Gao Yang's grounding had been lifted with Li Shimin's worship of the Buddha.
"Su Lanxin! Why didn't you kneel when you saw Princess Ben? ā
With a cold drink, the merchant reacted, and in a shock, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted:
"Su Lanxin didn't know that the princess was coming, she was offended, and she hoped that the princess would forgive her sins."
Just when Shang Shang was worried about whether his fluttering gift could satisfy the arrogant princess, the debate who was talking to Yu Wenjing saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly left Yu Wenjing and walked closer.
"Poor monk debate! I don't know that Princess Gaoyang is coming! Never far away! It's a faux pas. ā
The clear voice of the debate machine fell on Gao Yang's ears like this, like the first spring rain that he had been waiting for for a long time, and suddenly drenched Gao Yang's heart.
She looked at the man in front of her who was clean and like a spring breeze stupidly, and she couldn't take her eyes off it anymore!
He just stood there simply, standing quietly in front of his chest with his hands folded, his eyes were neither sad nor joyless, even by the noisy and lively release pool, he was as untainted as if he was independent from the world, and no man had ever given Gao Yang such a feeling like a debate machine!
Looking at the stupid and ruthless stares in front of him, a thunderclap suddenly fell on the heart of the businessman: debate?
Is there a perfect law in the world? Live up to it!
On this day, Gao Yang finally met the man who was the most important in her life---- debate machine!
Until many years later, this April afternoon still made businessmen sigh! As if just inadvertently, many things have already been predestined!
