Chapter 447: Mage's Mundane Affairs

You can't learn from the scriptures alone, it's too disillusioned.

I was never so excited when I saw Li Shimin back then, but when I saw Xuanzang at this moment, my whole body was on fire. Li Su also has idols, idols are not emperors and generals, of course, not the monk in front of him.

Li Su's idol is a monkey, the monkey who dares to love and hate to destroy the world, and the sentence "My old grandson is here", how much moral right and wrong he bears, but he has to succumb to the sad monkey of God and Buddha.

The worship of monkeys, along with it, Li Su's impression of Xuanzang is also much better, although this guy often recites the hoop mantra to torture monkeys. - Besides, this is Tang Seng, a Tang Seng who can live forever if you eat it!

Li Su's excited eyes gradually became unkind, squinting his eyes and looking Xuanzang up and down, and let out a mad laugh from time to time.

Compared with Li Su's enthusiasm, Xuanzang felt hairy.

Because...... The eyes of this county man are really terrible, looking horizontally and vertically, he always feels ill-intentioned, like ...... It was as if he was wondering where to cut him.

"Does the master remember his past and present lives?" Li Su asked enthusiastically.

"Huh?"

"In your previous life, master, you are very valuable, a high disciple under the Buddha's throne, the ninth reincarnation of the golden cicada...... Haven't you met a youkai who wants to eat you along the way? Eat your flesh and live forever! ”

Xuanzang: "............"

"Master, have you ever eaten your own flesh? Even a small piece of dead skin torn from a finger...... Oh, Master forgiveness, you're a vegetarian, hey, it's a pity......"

Xuanzang: "............"

"Master...... I eat meat. ”

Xuanzang's face became darker and darker, and he couldn't help but look at the sky, and stammered: "It's not early, poor monk...... The poor monk still went to the city to stay for a while......"

Li Su affectionately stopped Xuanzang's words and said with a smile: "There are many tents in the camp, why should the master enter the city?" ”

Joke. After entering the monster's cave, you still want to get out? When did Tang Seng run out by himself? It was the monkeys who rescued him......

"No, poor monk...... The poor monk should go to the city. Xuanzang's face was a little white, and the county man in front of him looked abnormal, like a madman.

"Okay, okay, let's talk." Li Su tried to make himself normal.

Although the Tang monk in front of him is old and dark, his current appearance is still very cute. I really want to swallow it in one bite......

…………

…………

"Have you really confiscated an apprentice?" Li Su asked without giving up.

"Nope!" Xuanzang glanced at him, his expression was still a little frightened, this young county man ...... It seems that he is not lightly ill, and he somehow said that he accepts apprentices, is it important whether he accepts apprentices or not? Why did this county magistrate have a disappointed expression?

"You...... Apprentices should be accepted! If you don't accept apprentices, who will help you fight monsters? Who's going to chase away those abrasive goblins for you? Li Su looked at him very sadly and condemningly.

Xuanzang subconsciously touched the hair that had grown more than an inch, he didn't know how to answer this, he found that everyone's thinking was not on the same plane at all, and he didn't understand what this county was talking about at all.

Li Su was indeed disappointed, the monk in front of him looked ordinary. And he is so down-and-out that he looks like a flower child, no matter how he looks at it, he doesn't look like the royal brother in the book, who has a crown like jade, has a graceful demeanor, and fascinates the king of his daughter country, and more importantly, ,...... Why don't you take in apprentices?

"The poor monk really confiscated his apprentices...... Besides, even if the poor monk wants to accept an apprentice, he will not accept a monkey. A pig, although it is said that Buddhism purifies all sentient beings. But it also depends on the spiritual understanding of everything, and the county's statement is too difficult for people to say. ”

Li Su sighed and put away his disappointment, in fact, he knew that the monkey was fictional, but he still had a trace of unrealistic fantasy in his heart. This is probably the innocent side of his character, an adult who believes in fairy tales will not be bad after all.

"The master has come from afar, and he has worked hard all the way, I don't know where the master wants to go next?" Li Suheshi asked.

Xuanzang sighed: "I have been away from my hometown Chang'an for more than ten years. The poor monks naturally want to go back to see, after hard work to get the scriptures from Tianzhu, the monks of the Tang Dynasty must still be waiting for the poor monks to go back to preach for them. ”

"If the master wants to go back to Chang'an, you might as well go with me, and there will be a care on the way, what does the master think?"

Xuanzang refused with a smile: "It is fortunate that the poor monk can walk with the county, but the poor monk is entangled in another mundane business, and I am afraid that he will live up to the good intentions of the county." ”

Li Su smiled, didn't mind, and ordered someone to prepare vegetarian food and wash the dust for Xuanzang.

…………

It is very uncomfortable to eat with a monk, because monks don't eat meat, Li Su arranged a table of vegetarian food for Xuanzang, because he is the master of idols, Li Su even fried a few vegetarian dishes for him in person.

To tell the truth, in this desolate and barren lonely city, it is much more difficult to eat vegetarian than meat, and it is not easy to collect a table of vegetarian dishes, Li Su sat on the other side, copying half a roasted brown and dripping leg of lamb in one hand, holding a wine glass in the other, and acting like a hero.

Xuanzang was very polite, took a chopstick bracken and put it in his mouth, and then quickly spit it out, Heshi muttered a few "sins", turned his head and looked at Li Su very resentfully and condemningly.

Li Su looked uncomfortable with his condemning eyes, and said, "Master doesn't think it's to taste?" ”

Xuanzang shook his head and sighed: "An ascetic monk who travels on a turbulent road, it is not easy to stutter food, how can he be picky about taste?" It's just that...... Forgive the poor monk for being rude, why does the county have to give the poor monk meat? ”

Li Su's expression was whole, and he hurriedly stood up and walked towards the low table in front of Xuanzang.

This matter is not small, now the Tang Dynasty is generally very respectful of Buddhism, if you really accidentally eat meat for Xuanzang, it will be sent back to Chang'an and will be scolded by thousands of Buddhist men and women.

Carefully looked at the dishes in front of Xuanzang, but they were all green vegetables, and there was no trace of meat, Li Su sniffed it closely, and he didn't smell the smell of animal fat, so he couldn't help but wonder: "I'm afraid the master is wrong, right?" These are vegetarian fasts, and there is no trace of oil and meat, so how can you say that you can eat meat? ”

Xuanzang also looked at him strangely: "There is ginger and garlic in these dishes, which are naturally meat dishes, don't the county know it?" ”

Li Su looked at him dumbfounded, and then smiled: "Master don't make trouble, ginger and garlic are all grown in the soil, where is the meat dish, this joke can't be made, it will kill my ......"

Xuanzang sighed: "The poor monk is not joking, ginger and garlic are meat, this is something everyone knows." ”

Li Su was stunned.

When Xuanzang saw his dazed appearance, he knew that he was an unintentional move and did not deliberately humiliate the monks, so he sighed and patiently gave this little white powerful person common sense.

After Xuanzang's explanation, Li Sucai suddenly realized that according to Buddhism, the diet of Buddhist disciples is forbidden to eat meat and fish, "Lengyan Sutra" cloud: meat and raw food are angry, cooked food helps prostitution, so Buddhism requires disciples to fast, and the so-called meat is "meat" and "fishy" separated, the so-called "meat" does not refer to the meat of various animals, but onions, ginger, garlic, leeks and other vegetables or seasonings with a special smell, because in the eyes of Buddhism, these things belong to "stench", "peculiar smell", unclean food, and the so-called "fishy", It refers to the meat of various animals such as pigs, chickens, and fish.

I don't know who made this rule, but it is certain that the person who made this rule must have chronic rhinitis, so fragrant things, not to say that there is a "bad smell", rhinitis is very serious.

After Xuanzang explained, Li Su looked at him speechlessly.

This monk is so troublesome, or ...... Withdraw the banquet and order someone to throw him out of the camp? I'm tired and don't want to be treated......

Or...... Really cut a piece of his meat down and taste it? What if it's really immortal? The monk is a vegetarian, but he is not a vegetarian.

Thoughts diverged infinitely, and Li Su's gaze as he looked at Xuanzang gradually became wrong, full of evil.

Xuanzang glanced at it inadvertently, just in time to meet Li Su's eyes, and suddenly felt that his hair stood on end, and he shivered.

Good evil! Why is there an illusion that you have strayed into the tiger's den in Longtan?

What a good one!

****************************************************************

The panicked Xuanzang spent a long night in the camp, and when he left the camp in the morning, two dark circles under his eyes hung on his face, obviously he didn't sleep well last night.

Li Su smiled and greeted him, and when he saw Xuanzang's dark circles hanging high, he couldn't help but laugh gloatingly.

This is the disadvantage of not accepting apprentices, even if Tang Seng in the book is tied up by monsters and hanged in countless positions that are inappropriate for children, he sleeps very sweetly, because he is sure that there will be a monkey to save him.

"Xizhou is the city of the Tang Dynasty, the master came from Tianzhu, and he has not seen the customs of the Tang Dynasty for many years, so he might as well take a look around the city today, and I will send a few retinues to serve you."

Xuanzang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you to the county, the poor monk is a foreigner, and Wanzhang Hongchen has no relationship with the poor monk......"

"Then, the master will meditate in the tent, and in a few days, when His Majesty's will comes, I will set off with the master to return to Chang'an."

Xuanzang shook his head and said: "The poor monk said yesterday that there is another mundane affair, and I am afraid that I will not be able to walk with the county......

Li Su blinked: "The master is a person who is an outsider, and he doesn't touch the red dust and mundane things, how can there be mundane affairs?" ”

Xuanzang said with a smile: "Monks, born in the world, living in the world, saying that the four are empty, but who can really avoid the worldly things?" In addition to chanting scriptures, monks also have to make a few mundane friends. ”

Li Suqi said: "I don't know which friend the master made?" Is he also in the Western Regions? ”

Xuanzang smiled: "Twelve years ago, the poor monk set off from Chang'an, along the Silk Road to the west, want to go to Tianzhu to get the true scriptures of Buddhism, Zhenguan three years through Gaochang country, the then Gaochang lord Lu Wentai has a deep Buddha fate, leading the subjects of the country out of the city and welcome, extremely grand, the poor monk is grateful, so he was invited to enter the city, live in the palace of Gaochang, and the lord of the country Lu Wentai discussed the three days and three nights of Buddhism and Zen, all lead each other as life confidants, the poor monk and him made an appointment, to seek the return of the true scriptures, will go to Gaochang country and a line, and he will continue more than ten years of confidant. ”

Xuanzang said and laughed, it was a real warm smile from the heart, which showed that his friendship with the lord of Gaochang was indeed not shallow.

And Li Su's face gradually changed.
