Chapter 63: Xuanzang
"Little girl, don't talk nonsense. That is Master Xuanzang of the Pure Land Temple, and next to him is our Emperor Taizong. He is a good emperor, when you grow up, do you want to marry into the palace? ”
"I don't want it, I want to stay with my mother and my mother, and I won't go anywhere."
The onlookers were very excited, after all, most of them were seeing the dragon face of the current saint for the first time. Even though it was still far from the city gate, many people still knelt down. Some of the older ones put their hands together and chanted "Amitabha" in their mouths, presumably kneeling down to the monk.
"Master Xuanzang?"
Listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter, Lu Xin was stunned, and couldn't believe his ears.
Historically, during the period of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, there was only one monk named Xuanzang. He is the founder of the Dharma Xiang sect, known as the three major translators of Chinese Buddhism along with Kumarosh and Zhenzhi, and is one of the most accomplished masters of Buddhism throughout the ages.
More importantly, Xuanzang is the prototype of Tang Seng in "Journey to the West", the pioneering work of Chinese gods and demons. The Great Master of Sanzang, the royal brother of Taizong, and the reincarnation of the second disciple of my Buddha, Jin Chanzi. The master of the Monkey King, the future Buddha of Zhantan Merit......
At this moment, countless nouns and countless pictures poured out of my mind. Lu Xin couldn't tell what it was like, he just wanted to rush over and see the legendary monk from top to bottom. Although he was also very curious about Li Shimin's appearance, the character of Tang Seng has made too deep and deep impressions to the world in the 21st century.
Li Chunfeng naturally saw everything in Lu Xin's eyes, and following his gaze, Lu Xin found that his master did not stare at King Tang, but put almost all his eyes on Xuanzang's body.
"The mage is going to thousands of mountains and rivers, and the road is far away, and I really can't bear it. If it weren't for you playing the court every year, you would have asked for the true meaning of the three Tibets for the people of the world, and I would ......"
Li Shimin, who has been in Zhenguan for three years, is only thirty-one years old, in the prime of life, full of brilliance, and magnificent. At this time, I saw him looking up at the sky in the west, his eyebrows were like peaks, and it was difficult to hide his true dragon emperor spirit. However, he was only halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by the monk beside him.
"Your Majesty is kind-hearted, cares about the people of the world, and will surely become a generation of holy masters. Although Datang has immortal energy, the people are muddy, the sea of suffering is boundless, and it is difficult to save themselves. If the poor monks go to the western land, if they can obtain the true meaning of the Three Tibets and the Mahayana Buddhism, they can cross all sentient beings and create a real Tang Dynasty for His Majesty. This is an immeasurable merit, and there is no need to be afraid of the difficult and dangerous road. ”
Xuanzang folded his hands and lowered his head to speak. Seeing this, Li Shimin hurriedly returned the Buddha with one hand, and his face was not angry. Lu Xin saw it in the distance and couldn't help but be amazed. He didn't expect that there would be people in this world who would dare to interrupt Emperor Taizong's speech. Unexpectedly, Emperor Taizong was not annoyed or angry, and he didn't care at all.
"Since the mage has such a great wish, if I repeatedly obstruct it, I will be the enemy of the people of the world. Don't stay, don't stay, hahahaha......"
"That's very good. By the way, can Your Majesty arrange the scientific expedition properly? ”
"Master rest assured, I have already instructed Fang Xuanling to handle this matter. At the beginning of the year, the Ministry of Officials notified the state capitals that the imperial court was going to open a department, and the world's children had come to Chang'an. After 10 days, the examination can be held in Guozijian. Auxiliary, Keming, you two should also pay more attention to scientific research. The mage gave a lot of good advice to the court, but he couldn't chill the heart of the mage and the hearts of the scholars in the world. ”
Li Shimin glanced back at the two ministers behind him, one was in his forties, wearing the official uniform of Shangshu's right servant, his face looked a little tired, but he held his head high and his air was magnificent. The other, who looked a little younger, was dressed in the official uniform of the first product and three divisions, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and always had a smile on his face. When the two saw Emperor Taizong turn around, they hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted.
"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister believes that the ministry will act impartially and select good ministers for Your Majesty to rule the world. Master Xuanzang has the heart of a bodhisattva, and he is really admired. ”
"The eldest grandson has a point. Your Majesty, the minister had already received a list of candidates for the scientific examination from the yamen of the state capitals a month and a half ago. So far, ninety percent of the children have successfully arrived in Chang'an, hundreds of people have lived in Guozijian, and most of the rest have lived in nearby schools and inns. The scientific examination in the next ten days will definitely promote my Tang Dynasty literary style and select talented people. ”
"In that case, I would like to leave it to you. Your Majesty, it's hot outside the city, and the poor monk will go on the road immediately, please go back. ”
When Xuanzang said this, he pronounced a Buddha name, and then strode out and never looked back. Li Shimin and a group of ministers stopped to watch, and it took a long time before they walked back to the Mingde Gate. The sergeants quickly dispersed, and the bustle outside the city gate gradually resumed.
"The world-famous Du Ruhui really has a talent. It's a pity that the killing is coming, and I'm afraid it's hard to dodge. ”
Li Chunfeng sighed suddenly, and the fingers of his right hand seemed to be counting something. Seeing that his expression was a little solemn, Lu Xin wanted to ask what these words meant, but just as he was about to speak, he felt an incomparably sharp gaze, looking at him from a distance. This gaze is simply the sun in the sky, hot, bright, perceptive, and unabashed. It seems to be able to see through all things in the world, and there is nothing to hide.
Lu Xin was full of excitement, and hurriedly followed his feelings to find it. Sure enough, on the crowded official road, less than a hundred meters away, a monk was standing in the crowd, quietly looking at himself.
This time, Lu Xin finally saw the monk's appearance clearly. He is a young man in his twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, fair skin, a high nose bridge, and a pair of pupils as bright as stars. The monk was wearing a simple linen robe, with mango shoes under his feet, looking at the dress, it was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary. But in this matter, a layer of sweat immediately broke out on Lu Xin's forehead and back, and his whole body froze in place and could not move.
It's not that he can't move, but like some instinct, he doesn't dare to move!
Fortunately, the monk's gaze only stayed for a moment, and then he saw Li Chunfeng walking over with a calm face, directly blocking Lu Xin behind him.
"Disciple, he is using his Tao to calculate your past and present lives, don't think nonsense, let alone speak. This monk, very strong, very strong. It is the person with the highest cultivation among the onmyoji I have ever seen! ”
Li Chunfeng's voice was low, and his brows were furrowed. Lu Xin had never seen his master so nervous, even when facing the Lord of the Ghost City, his tone was calm and indifferent. But at this time, Li Chunfeng was like a great enemy, and he lifted up all the mana in his body.
Seeing this, Lu Xin dared to speak, and immediately emptied his head. I don't know how long it took, a series of "squeaky" monkey cries seemed to sound in his ears, and Li Chunfeng immediately exhaled and finally walked away from him. Lu Xin came back to his senses, and when he looked at the official road again, the monk was gone.
"Master, how high is this Xuanzang's cultivation, why is it even you?"
"I can't see through him, maybe it's the sevenfold realm of entering the gods, maybe it's higher. In short, he seems to see something in you. And that demon monkey is also an amazing alien species of heaven and earth! ”
Li Chunfeng seemed to have come out of the water, sweating profusely and soaking wet. Lu Xin felt more and more shocked, stunned in place, unable to speak for a long time.
According to the legend, Tang Sanzang, who is mortal with the naked eye and has no power to restrain the chicken, turned out to be a top master who even Li Chunfeng could not see through cultivation. Why would such a person suddenly stop and stare at himself when he left Chang'an? What's even more terrifying is that Li Chunfeng seems to be very jealous of him. It was a manifestation of the great enemy, perhaps the inherent hostility between the Buddha and the Tao. Perhaps, it was Li Chunfeng who noticed something in the dark. In short, this glance does not seem like a good thing to Lu Xin.
"That's it, he has gone west to Tianzhu. Tens of thousands of miles away, even with his cultivation, there are thousands of calamities. The Great Desolate God Sect and the Multi-Tantric Sect alone would not allow him to reach the Western Soil easily. Let's go, let's go into town. ”
Li Chunfeng looked at the official road where people came and went, stared at the direction where Xuanzang left, and his voice gradually returned to calm. Following his gaze, the beings of Yan Fu were either happy and angry, good and beautiful, or ugly, or wise, or reckless...... All living beings fell on this dusty dirt road. But the more Lu Xin looked, the more blurry he felt, and the more he looked, the more he felt that the beings in front of him were all hidden under a shadow, and he couldn't even see his face.
"Let's go, the wind of Chang'an City has just set off."
It wasn't until Li Chunfeng's urging sound came from his ears again that Lu Xin shook his head, walked onto the official road, blended into the crowd, and passed through the huge Mingde Gate. As soon as you enter Chang'an, you will be greeted with a burst of vitality. It was a feeling of being in the light, in the dust, and in the wind. It's intoxicating, it's delightful.
Suzaku Street in front of you is dozens of meters wide, and countless camels, carriages, and sedan chairs shuttle through the street. The bricks on the ground were polished to reflect the glow of the sun. Groups of merchants, porters, and countless pedestrians, among the dazzling array of goods, under the noise and endless shouts, intertwined a prosperous picture of a peaceful and prosperous era.
This is not the case even in the cosmopolitan cities of modern society.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, Dali Temple is handling the case, and the idle people are all retreating."
Suzaku Street was at a glance, and not long after Lu Xin entered the city, a group of horse teams rushed in front of him. The people on horseback were all wearing tight-fitting official uniforms, all of them were heroic and sassy, and their faces were solemn. Wherever the horse team passed, pedestrians gave way, but no one dared to stop them.
"Dali Temple! Hmph, what's so great about Dali Temple? In this world, yin and yang are confused, and demons are rampant. A group of stinky errands, wait for a few days to come, see how angry you are. I'm sorry, I'm covered in ashes! ”
As soon as the people from Dali Temple left, a young man sitting on the side of the street suddenly stood up and opened his mouth to scold. And his words immediately attracted Li Chunfeng's attention.
