Chapter 162: Hunger and Thirst?

"Humph! Bad luck! Ju Wentai flicked his robe and went to the princess's bedroom! This night, Ju Wentai did not come out of the princess's bedroom, and must have stayed to rest......

On the second day, after eating, Ju Wentai came out of the princess, and went straight to Xuanzang's residence without even going to the court! Yesterday's guards stood outside the door, and when they saw that Ju Wentai, the king of Gaochang, was coming, they greeted together!

"Meet Your Majesty!"

"Excuse me!" After Ju Wentai finished speaking casually, he asked, "Early this morning, can you bring food to the holy monk?" One of the guards said, "Back to Your Majesty!" I sent it over...... Merely...... It's just ......" The guard said this, and he didn't know what to say, so he looked at his companion next to him! When his companion saw him looking at himself, he hurriedly turned his head slightly to the side and ignored him!

The small movements of several people did not hide from Ju Wentai's eyes, and Ju Wentai said angrily: "What kind of system have I become?!" Hurry up and recruit from the truth! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! The guard hurriedly said, "Your Majesty...... Early in the morning, the ministers sent food to Tang Shengseng, but ...... The holy monk didn't even look at it! Before His Majesty came, he took another look, but found that the food was still the same before, and he hadn't even touched it......"

Ju Wentai's eyes narrowed, and he muttered, "Okay, you holy monk!" It's really hard and soft and don't eat ......" After Ju Wentai finished speaking, he didn't speak, but stood in front of Xuanzang's door! When the guards saw that Ju Wentai didn't say a word, he didn't do anything, he just stood in front of them, this pressure can be imagined!

"Your Majesty...... It's not a matter if this holy monk doesn't eat! As...... Invite the monks of the Buddhist temple to enlighten one or two...... It is unknown whether it will be successful or not......" After the guard finished speaking, Ju Wentai's eyes lit up and he thought: This is a good idea! Why didn't I think of that?

Ju Wentai looked at the guard who dared to speak out, and said in his heart: Since I have tried all kinds of methods now, this is not a bad method! "Ahh Your Majesty...... Damn it......" The guard looked at Ju Wentai's eyes, shining brightly! thought that Ju Wentai wanted to cure his sins, so he hurriedly begged for forgiveness......

"Hahaha......" The other guards were puzzled, but Ju Wentai laughed, and then Ju Wentai covered his mouth and quietly scolded the guard who dared to speak out: "You bastard, why didn't you give it to me earlier if you have such a good plan?" But...... It's not too late, you...... Do ...... Not bad! ”

"Huh!?"

bluntly said that the guards didn't know what to say, Ju Wentai looked at his appearance, and scolded with a smile: "Reward you with 500 taels of silver, go and get the reward!" After Ju Wentai finished speaking, he left in a hurry......

"Ah...... Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty......" The guards thanked Ju Wentai's back again and again, and then happily ran to receive the reward! The rest of the guards watched with some confusion and envy as their companions went to receive the reward, and secretly scolded themselves for not having the courage! I thought of it, so why didn't I say it? I can't wait to give myself two slaps!

......

"Holy monk! The old monks of the Buddhist temple came to visit! The guard opened the door and came to Xuanzang's side, and asked quietly, Xuanzang's face was very ugly, his lips were a little chapped, and he opened his eyes and said weakly: "Amitabha...... Please...... Great Monk ...... Come in......"

"Yes......" The guard answered, went out and led the old monk in, then closed the door and continued to guard......

The old monk is kind and kind-eyed, wearing a robe, and twisting the Buddha beads in one hand! came to Xuanzang's side, looking at Xuanzang's appearance, the old monk said: "Alas! Amitabha Buddha ......"

"Amitabha...... The big monk ......" Xuanzang greeted the old monk weakly, and the old monk murmured: "Why is the holy monk so bothered...... Xuanzang smiled bitterly: "The big monk doesn't know anything...... Little Monk ...... In Chang'an, the monks of Chang'an...... All will ...... Hinayana Buddhism, Hinayana Buddhism...... But it lies in self-ferry...... Some of them get bogged down in the quagmire over time......"

The old monk listened carefully to Xuanzang's narration, and Xuanzang said again: "And this...... Mahayana Buddhism...... It is important to cross oneself and cross people, but there are very few in the Central Plains! Second, Buddhism in the Central Plains has been declining day by day, and it will soon be swallowed up by other sects! ”

"Holy Monk...... You're in love with ......" The old monk muttered again: "Everything will have ups and downs...... Xuanzang suddenly said: "No! Only the Dharma can save the world! Only Mahayana Buddhism can purify the world, and the little monk is just ...... Done...... What no one has done...... Isn't it our monks' job to preach the Dharma and benefit the common people? ”

"Amitabha Buddha ......" After the old monk recited the Buddha, he said: "Holy monk...... The flowers bloom and fall for the sake of a better rebirth next time, so why should the holy monks bother themselves? By practicing the teachings of the holy monks, you can also preach the supreme Dharma......"

Xuanzang gradually heard the meaning of the monk's words, which was the semantics of depravity, Xuanzang immediately woke up and said: "Amitabha...... Great Monk ...... Is it for Your Majesty? ”

"Yes...... It's not ......"

Xuanzang was stunned for a moment, and then understood what the old monk meant! He smiled wryly and said, "Hehe...... I don't go to hell...... Who goes to hell......" At this time, I suddenly remembered the subordinate in my heart, and I didn't expect that what I asked him to do would come to him so quickly...... Well, the result is ...... I don't have any worries in my heart...... No...... It's a pity......

The old monk looked at Xuanzang in surprise and said incredulously: "Holy monk...... You ......" As a result, the old monk still didn't say it...... Xuanzang said with a slight wry smile: "It's a pity...... The little monk did not ...... Complete the final regret ......"

"Amitabha Buddha ......" The old monk can only recite the Buddha, but he can't do anything! The old monk then said as if he had made up his mind: "Holy monk...... Then let the old monk help you......"

Xuanzang was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Great monk...... Don't ...... Don't do it......" In fact, Xuanzang was anxious in his heart, and said in his heart: I've been talking for so long, you finally have something to say!

"Amitabha...... Holy monk rest assured! The old monk will ...... go" After the old monk finished speaking, he ignored Xuanzang's persuasion and walked out insisttently......

......

Ju Wentai looked at the old monk in front of him with a shocked face and said, "Great monk...... What do you mean by that? I asked you to keep that Xuanzang, but the monk wanted me to let him go?! ”

"Amitabha...... Your Majesty is a believer in the Buddha, why did he obstruct the westward journey of the holy monk Xuanzang? If the holy monk Xuanzang comes back from the west and brings back a large number of Buddhist scriptures, it will be a great opportunity for the country......" The old monk said word by word, Ju Wentai just couldn't listen to it! In the end, he forcibly sent the old monk back to the Buddhist temple!

"It's the other way around! It's the other way around! Ju Wentai sat on the chair and scolded loudly, then thought of Xuanzang again, and muttered: "Okay! I'll see how long you can last......"

Soon, before I knew it, Xuanzang hadn't eaten for four days, but he really hadn't eaten an inch of food and not a drop of water! Of course, his body couldn't stand it anymore, and he passed out on the third night! Early in the morning of the fourth day, the guards found Xuanzang fainting in the house......

On the fourth day, Ju Wentai was on the court...... Suddenly, there was a noise outside......

"Your Majesty! Big things are not good!! The guards hurriedly ran to tell him, Ju Wentai was shocked, and thought that a strong enemy was coming! Take a closer look...... It turned out that it was not to visit the Malay newspaper, but to send the guards to guard Xuanzang! I thought: Fortunately, it is not a strong enemy, ...... Well? Ju Wentai's heart was immediately shocked again, and he hurriedly said, "What happened to the holy monk?" ”

The guard hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! The holy monk Xuanzang fainted! Ju Wentai panicked and hurriedly asked, "Have you invited a doctor?" ”

The guard nodded hurriedly and said, "Have you sent someone to invite you?" Ju Wentai hurriedly got up and said, "Retreat to the ......" After he finished speaking, he hurriedly ran to Xuanzang's residence......

Ministers, but you look at me, I look at you! They all shook their heads and sighed, not knowing if they were lamenting the pity for the holy monk of the Tang Dynasty...... still laments that Ju Wentai, the king of Gaochang, does not attach importance to Jiangshan Sheji......

Soon, Ju Wentai came to Xuanzang's residence! The doctor was already diagnosing Xuanzang, Ju Wentai stood behind the doctor, didn't speak, just watched silently......

Finally, the doctor had finished the examination, and when he turned around and saw Ju Wentai, he hurriedly saluted and said: "The minister greets Your Majesty......" Ju Wentai then waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite!" What disease did the holy monk Xuanzang get? ”

The great doctor replied truthfully: "Back to Your Majesty! Xuanzang Holy Monk is not sick......" Ju Wentai was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Not sick?" Why did he fall if he wasn't sick? ”

"Your Majesty! It is true that the holy monk has no disease, but he ...... If he really has a disease, there is a ......" The doctor muttered, and Ju Wentai hurriedly asked, "What disease?" ”

The great doctor muttered: "Hungry soldiers and thirsty ......" Hearing him say this, Ju Wentai muttered to himself suspiciously: "Hungry disease? Thirst? ”
