Seeing that his teacher, Chen Xi, who had always respected the noble and immortal like an immortal, looked like this, Chen Xuanzang couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

Looking at Chen Xuanzang's surprised appearance, his eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled lightly: "Okay!" Mochizuki, don't be so casual, there is no qualification of cultivating immortals. ”

"Grandpa, didn't you say that the fairy road is free? It's not like the Western Buddhism, which says compassion and a lot of constraints, and it's not at all comfortable! Mochizuki, who was laughing, deliberately glanced at Chen Xuanzang.

Chen Xuanzang, who frowned slightly, did not say anything.

Seeing this, Chen Hua, who glanced at Hu Ling'er, shook his head with a light smile and said, "Mochizuki, you know it but you don't know why!" There are countless creatures in the world, and most of them can't get rid of the seven emotions and six desires, and the suffering of life and death. If all those mundane people do it casually, wouldn't it be a mess? Even if it is an immortal god of my generation, if he does not know how to cultivate his temperament and self-cultivation, he will bring disaster upon himself. ”

"I know it, grandfather! I didn't do anything bad! Mochizuki pouted helplessly.

Chen Hua shook his head and didn't say anything more, but Hu Ling'er couldn't help but say, "Mochizuki!" Although you have no intention, if you don't pay attention, sometimes you will inevitably do bad things. There is a saying that everything happens because of an unintentional accident. There are some things that you can't predict. My generation of immortals and gods is difficult to count all the blessings and misfortunes. ”

Xiu Mei frowned slightly, and Mochizuki, whose small mouth was upturned, just lowered his head sullenly and didn't say anything.

"Mochizuki! Don't take your grandparents' words to heart, they're all for your good! Seeing this, Chen Xi couldn't help but snort softly,

Mochizuki nodded. I had to respond in a sullen voice: "Yes, mother, I know the truth." ”

"Xuanzang. Feel free and do it! Chen Hua smiled lightly and said to Chen Xuanzang, who stood respectfully.

Chen Xuanzang thanked him politely when he heard this, and then he sat down carefully with the last seat.

Next, Chen Hua seemed to be interested in Chen Xuanzang, and talked to him gently with a smile.

After a conversation, Chen Xuanzang also let go of the nervousness in his heart, and talked to Chen Hua casually a little calmly.

"Sure enough, it's very wise!" From Chen Xuanzang's words and deeds. Chen Hua couldn't help but praise in his heart.

And Chen Xuanzang couldn't help but admire Chen Hua: "The ancestor is really a virtuous person, with concise words and profound insights. It's even more rare to be so kind. ”

Time passed, and when it was getting late, everyone had a dinner party together in this courtyard.

After the dinner, Chen Guangrui and his wife came to visit in person. When he learned that Chen Hua and Hu Ling'er were the parents of Fairy Chen Xi. Chen Guangrui and his wife couldn't help but be more cautious.

The days that followed. Chen Hua and Hu Ling'er also stayed in this courtyard temporarily.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.

In the water pavilion in the courtyard, Chen Hua, Hu Ling'er and Chen Xi sat at the stone table respectively, while Yang Chan stood aside and served tea to the three of them.

"Father, the child found that Xuanzang had a lot of contacts with people from Buddhism in recent days. Especially the last time he accompanied his mother to Jinshan Temple to offer incense, he met a slightly Taoist monk Fa Ming. It's quite speculative, and I often go to Jinshan Temple to talk to him! Chen Xi said a little helplessly: "Is it?" Is it really the will of heaven that is difficult to disobey, and is he inseparable from Buddhism? ”

Chen Hua smiled lightly when he heard this, and then took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Xi'er, that kid has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to be too persistent." His fate is in the West, in Buddhism. ”

"Father, do you also think that Western Buddhism should come to the East?" Chen Xi couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Xi'er! The East is orthodox for the Xuanmen, so why worry about Buddhism being able to overpower the Daomen? Chen Hua shook his head and smiled: "There are three thousand avenues, and there are countless magic methods." Western Buddhism is not without merit. My creation is to create sentient beings, and as long as it is beneficial to sentient beings, it is a good thing. ”

Chen Xi, who nodded thoughtfully, suddenly said, "So, my father supports the spread of Buddhism to the east?" ”

Chen Hua shook his head again and said, "No! Fatherhood does not support or oppose! ”

"Father, what do you mean by that? The kids are a little confused! Chen Xi smiled helplessly.

Chen Hua, who smiled slightly, looked sideways at Yang Chan, who was standing on the side, and said, "Yang Chan, what do you say?" ”

Yang Chan, who was stunned, hesitated and said: "The disciple thinks that the ancestor means that Buddhism can be introduced to the East and benefit living beings. However, we must not allow the Dharma to flourish too much in the East and storm the Daomen and cause a fight! ”

Chen Hua immediately glanced at Yang Chan appreciatively, and said with a smile: "Not bad! The two sages of the West only thought of the prosperity of the West, but they forgot that when the water is full, it overflows, and the moon is full and it loses. The lessons of that sect are still in front of us, and I hope that Buddhism will not repeat the mistakes of the past. Otherwise, Buddhism and Taoism will clash together, and the flood will be restless again. ”

"How easy it is to want the two saints of the West to understand what the word 'contentment' is!" Hu Linger shook her head and said.

Chen Xi also smiled with beautiful eyes: "If the world is full of people who have no desires and no desires, there will not be so many disputes." ”

While a few people were talking, Chen Guangrui and his wife came in a hurry.

"Lord Chen! Why is it so ignorant of etiquette, and don't let people go on a rampage without letting people spread the word? Chen Xi's somewhat dissatisfied eyebrows frowned slightly at Chen Guangrui.

Chen Guangrui hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Fairy! Light Rui is rude! It's just that there is indeed a big event, and I ask the fairy to help me save the child! ”

"Huh? What happened to Xuanzang? Chen Xi couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and asked suspiciously.

Chen Guangrui said with a sad and helpless face: "Fairy! Xuanzang has frequent contacts with Elder Faming of Jinshan Temple today, I thought he was just obsessed with Buddhism, but I didn't know that he actually wanted to worship Elder Faming as a teacher and become a monk! ”

"Yes! Fairy! My husband and wife are just such a son. If he leaves home, how will we live! Miss Yin on the side also sobbed sadly.

Listening to the words of Chen Guangrui and his wife, Chen Xi's beautiful eyes suddenly widened slightly, and he was a little stunned.

"Father, look at this" Chen Xi, who turned to react, suddenly looked at Chen Hua with some confusion.

Chen Hua smiled lightly and waved his hand to signal that Chen Xi didn't need to say more, and at the same time looked at Chen Guangrui with a smile and said, "Lord Chen! Ling Lang is kind by nature. is quite wise, but it is indeed related to Buddhism. Now that he has entered the Buddha Gate, he will have great achievements one day. The so-called blessing and misfortune of life and death. Each has its own fate. Why should adults be too attached to this? ”

"This" Chen Guangrui, who was stunned, smiled bitterly and said: "If it is really as the immortal said, then it is also my son's fortune." It's just that my Chen family is a single lineage, and Guangrui only has one son, if he goes to leave home. Isn't my Chen family going to be wiped out? In this way, how will Guangrui face the ancestors of the Chen family in the future? ”

When Chen Hua heard this, he immediately laughed: "Lord Chen! You are still young, why should you worry about having no children? Although the way of heaven is ruthless. But the fairy road has a benevolent heart. Lord Chen governed one side, so that the people lived in peace and the blessings continued. Heaven will not let you have no queen. ”

"Really?" Chen Guangrui's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Nodding with a smile, Chen Hua repeatedly promised to persuade Chen Guangrui and his wife to leave.

After they left, Chen Xi suddenly frowned and said, "Father! Why are you? That Chen Guangrui and his wife don't seem to have any more children! ”

"If not. The couple will inevitably go to Jinshan Temple to make trouble. At that time, it was a tribulation for Chen Xuanzang! Chen Hua, who shook his head slightly, smiled instead: "Xi'er, do you know why Chen Guangrui and his wife have never had any more children?" ”

Chen Xi's eyebrows furrowed slightly when he heard this, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Father, is there any reason for this?" ”

"Chen Xuanzang has a relationship with the West and is destined to go to the West to become a Buddha in the future. If he has too many dusty fates, it will be a stumbling block after all. Therefore, there will be no more children in his Chen family. In this way, he is a Buddha of Freedom! Chen Hua explained with a light smile: "Buddhism is especially important for cause and effect! This is the calculation of Buddhism. It saved Chen Xuanzang from trouble in the future. ”

Chen Xi, who was stunned, suddenly said with some dissatisfaction: "Father." Why do you bother to calculate Xuanzang? Anyway, he's also your apprentice, isn't he? ”

"Do you think your father is calculating him?" Chen Hua asked with a faint smile.

Chen Xi said with a little amusement: "Could it be that my father is still good for him?" ”

"If you don't cut jade, you can't make a weapon!" Chen Hua, who shook his head and smiled, said slowly: "Xi'er, then Chen Xuanzang has become a Buddha in the West, if there is no cause and effect entanglement, although he is comfortable, I am afraid that it will be difficult to go further." At that time, he will really become a tool for Buddhism to spread the Dharma. Once it's used, it's useless, and no one cares. And with that cause and effect, he will have more opportunities in the future. If you grasp it well, you will definitely have a great achievement. Do you still think that being a father is calculating against him and harming him? ”

Chen Xi, who nodded thoughtfully, suddenly said with joy on his face: "The father is far-sighted, but the child is insufficient!" In this way, my father put a lot of thought into the options. ”

"That's it! Since Xuanzang is about to enter the Buddha Gate, then we should also leave! Chen Hua said instead.

Chen Xi was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a little reluctance: "Father, the child still wants to stay for a while." ”

"It's good!" Chen Hua, who nodded slightly, glanced at Hu Ling'er with a smile and said, "However, your mother and I are leaving." I promised your mother that I would go more with her this time. ”

Hu Ling'er, who nodded with a smile, said, "That's right, Xi'er!" Where has Mochizuki gone these days? ”

"Where else could it be? Eighty percent went to Xuanzang's trouble again! The two of them didn't know what was going on, as if no one was happy to look at anyone," Chen Xi couldn't help but smile helplessly when he said this.

In this regard, Chen Hua just smiled lightly: "Don't worry about their affairs!" Mochizuki's girl's temperament is that someone has to grind it for her. ”

"But father, Xuanzang is a member of Buddhism, what is the matter with Mochizuki and him mixed together!" Chen Xi said helplessly.

Chen Hua couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Hehe, if Mochizuki can pull Xuanzang into the Xuanmen, it is her ability." I'm afraid, she doesn't have that ability! So, you don't have to worry about it. ”

"Yes!" Chen Xi thought for a while and then nodded and smiled: "If Xuanzang travels west to learn from the moon and follow her, it will also be a good training for her." It's just that in this way, the West is afraid that it will be difficult to rest assured. ”

Chen Hua was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Let him worry about going!" ”

After many years, because Yuan Shoucheng and the Dragon King of Jinghe were tired of gambling, the poor old dragon of Jinghe died in Huangquan and asked Emperor Taizong for help. It was also Taizong who deserved this catastrophe, and was harmed by the Dragon King of Jinghe and went to the Netherworld.

After several twists and turns, Emperor Taizong, who was reborn, moved his mind and gathered many officials to recruit monks. If you want to build a land and water conference, you will be able to surpass the lonely soul of Hades. The list is all over the world, and officials everywhere elect high-ranking monks. Go to Chang'an to do a meeting. In that period of the elimination of the month, there are many monks in the world.

The king of Tang passed a decree that Taishi Cheng Fu Yi elected high monks and built Buddhist affairs. Fu Yi heard the decree, that is, on the dredging of the floating map, in order to say that there is no Buddha. The table says:

The law of the Western Regions has no monarch and minister, father and son. With three ways and six ways, you are tempted to be foolish and chase after the sins of the past. Glimpse the blessings of the future, recite Sanskrit words, in order to avoid it. And life and death, life and death, are natural; Punishment Dwiveford. Department of the Lord. Today, I hear that the vulgar are overbearing. All clouds are made of Buddha. Since the five emperors and three kings, there has been no Buddhism, the monarch is loyal and loyal, and the years are long. To the Han Ming Emperor set up the god Hu, but only the Sangmen of the Western Regions, self-preaching its teachings, is really a crime against China, it is not enough to believe.

Taizong heard this. So he threw this watch to the ministers for discussion. From time to time, Prime Minister Xiao Xing came out of the class and said: "Buddhism has been prosperous since many dynasties. Promote good and curb evil, help the country, and there is no abandonment. Buddha, saint also. Those who are not saints cannot, please be punished severely. ”

Fu Yi and Xiao Xing argued, words and etiquette are based on the matter of relatives and affairs, and the Buddha betrayed his relatives and became monks, resisted the Son of Heaven with his husband, and rebelled against his relatives with his successor, Xiao Xing was not born in Kongsang, but followed the teachings of fatherlessness, and the so-called non-filial piety has no relatives.

Xiao Xing Dan clasped his hands together and said: "The setting of hell is just for people. ”

Taizong summoned Zhang Daoyuan, the servant, and Zhang Shiheng, the secretary of the Zhongshu, to ask what the blessing of Buddhism should be. The second minister said: "The Buddha is pure and forgiving, and the Buddha is empty." Emperor Wu of the Zhou Dynasty divided it into three religions: Dahui Zen Master has praise and far-reaching, and he has been supported by all the people; The reincarnation of the five ancestors, the Dharma phenomenon. Since ancient times, the three religions of the clouds are supreme and cannot be destroyed or abolished. His Majesty Fu begged for the Holy Judgment. ”

Taizong was very happy and said: "Qing's words are reasonable. Whoever has something to show is guilty. ”

Taizong, who had made up his mind, then invited Wei Zheng, Xiao Xing, and Zhang Daoyuan to invite the Buddhas, elect a person with great virtue as the altar master, and set up a dojo, and everyone thanked them and retreated.

Since then, the law has been issued: but those who slander the monks and slander the Buddha will have their arms cut off.

The next day, the three courtiers gathered the monks and selected them one by one in the altar of the mountains and rivers, and selected a virtuous monk among them. Who is he, it is Xuanzang, the son of Chen Guangrui, who became a monk in Jinshan Temple.

On that day, Master Xuanzang was raised to the public. This person has been kind since he was a child, and his grandfather saw that Yin Kaishan, the head of the first road of the dynasty, and his father Chen Guangrui, the champion of the middle, and the official worship of Wenyuan Palace. I don't love glory, I just like to practice silence. found that his roots were good and his virtue was high. Thousands of classics, all-encompassing; The Buddha name fairy sound, nothing will be. At that time, the three of them were brought to the front of the palace, danced in the dust, and bowed and said: "The ministers and stars have received the holy decree and selected a senior monk, Chen Xuanzang." ”

When Taizong heard his name, he pondered for a long time and said, "But is Xuanzang, the son of the bachelor Chen Guangrui?" ”

Chen Xuanzang responded: "The minister is exactly." ”

Taizong said happily: "Sure enough, it's a good move, and I am honest as a virtuous and Zen-minded monk." I give you the position of the left monk, the right monk, and the great exposition of the world. ”

Xuanzang immediately thanked him and received the title of official of Great Interpretation. Taizong also gave a colorful woven gold robe, a Pilu hat, and taught him to worship the monk with his heart, rank the head of the Xuli class, write the will, go to the Huasheng Temple, choose the auspicious day, and start the scriptures.

Xuanzang bowed to the decree again, and then went to the Huasheng Temple, gathered many monks, built a meditation couch, decorated merits, and sorted out music. A total of 1,200 monks of all sizes were selected and assigned to three halls. In front of all the Buddhas, all the things are all together, and there is a time for the head. On the third day of the first month of September this year, the zodiac is a good day, and the 7749-day water and land conference will be opened.

Everything was arranged, Chen Xuanzang immediately had a performance, Taizong and the relatives of the civil and military kingdom all went to the meeting and listened to the lecture.

Zhenguan thirteen years, the age of his own si, the third day of the first month of September, the good day. Master Chen Xuanzang expounded on the great master, gathered 1,200 monks, all of whom performed the wonderful scriptures in the Huasheng Temple of Chang'an City. The emperor has already finished the dynasty, handsome civil and military officials, take the phoenix chariot, leave the Jinluan Treasure Palace, and go to the temple to make incense. How do you see that Luan? The real one is:

One day of Ruiqi, ten thousand auspicious light. The benevolent wind is light and swaying, and the sun is very beautiful. Thousands of officials wear the front and back, and the five guards are lined up on both sides. Holding the gourd, the axe, the double pair; Silk candles, incense from the imperial furnace, haze and haze. The dragon flies and the phoenix dances, and the osprey recommends the eagle. The Holy Heaven is right, and the minister of loyalty and righteousness is good. Jiefu millennium over Shunyu, Shengping Bandai Saiyao soup. See the crank umbrella again, rolling dragon robe, glowing with each other; The jade chain, the colorful phoenix fan, the rui mist fluttering. Beaded crown and jade belt, purple ribbon gold medallion. Escort thousands of teams, support the public will be two lines. This emperor bathed in devotion and revered the Buddha, took refuge in good fruits, and enjoyed incense.

The king of Tang drove to the temple early, ordered the music ringer, got out of the chariot, led many officials, and worshiped the Buddha and incense. The three turns have been completed, and when I look up, it is really a dojo. But see:

The banners are fluttering, and the treasure covers are flying. The banners flutter, the condensing empty road is shaking; The treasure cover is flying, and the sun is dancing red. The world-honored golden elephant is perfect, and the Arhat jade is majestic. The bottle is planted with fairy flowers, and the furnace is burned to descend. The bottle is inserted with fairy flowers, and the brocade tree is full of treasures; The furnace burns and the sandalwood falls, and the fragrant clouds are clear and clear. When the new fruit is built on the red plate, the strange sugar crisp piles up the color case. The monks recited the scriptures and wished to pull out the lonely soul from suffering.

Taizong's civil and military clubs each made incense, worshiped the golden body of the Buddha, and participated in the Arhat. I also saw that Master Chen Xuanzang led the monks to worship the Tang King. After the ceremony, each class was in a Zen position, and the master presented Ji Gu Bangwen and Taizong to see. The list said:

The virtue is slim, and Zen Buddhism is extinguished. Pure and clear, circulating in the three realms. Ever-changing, controlling yin and yang. The body is really normal, and it is infinite. Looking at the lonely soul, it is deeply sad. This is the holy order of Taizong: to gather all the monks and participate in Zen teachings. Open the door and court, and the boat of mercy will be widely transported, and the sea of suffering will be born, and the six pleasures of sinking will be freed. Bring back to the true road, play Hongmeng; Stop doing nothing and mix it into vegan. Take advantage of this good reason to invite the Qing capital to be admired; Take advantage of my victory and get out of the hell cage. Ascend to Bliss as early as possible, and travel to and from the West at ease.

The poem says:

A furnace of eternal longevity incense, a few rolls of super raw urns. Boundless mystic law proclamation, boundless heavenly grace.

All the wrongs are gone, and the lonely souls are released from prison. May I protect my state and live a long life.

Taizong was full of joy when he saw it, and said to the monks: "You and others are sincere in their hearts, and they should stop neglecting Buddhist affairs." After the success is complete, everyone will be blessed, and I will be rewarded, and I will never work in vain. ”

The 1,200 monks were all thanked at once.

The three fasts of the day were over, and the king of Tang drove back. Wait for the seventh day meeting, please make incense. It was getting late, and all the officials were retiring. How can you see it so late? Look at that:

Thousands of miles of sky faded and glowed, and the crows were late to roost down. The city is full of lights and people, and it is the time when the Zen monks enter the time.

Don't mention the night view. The next morning, the Master ascended to sit down again and gathered to chant the sutras. (To be continued......)
