Chapter 618: Xuanzang's Return to China (II)

After Xuanzang returned to Chang'an, he was immediately warmly welcomed by the people of Chang'an.

However, he also knew that now was not the time for him to enjoy the flowers and applause, because he had not yet completed the task that Li Shimin had given him.

Therefore, he did not indulge in the honor in front of him, but chose to Jinru Hongfu Temple in Chang'an City for the first time, and with the assistance of several other monks, he began to write a record of what he saw and heard after leaving the Tang Dynasty.

It's called "The Legend of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty"!

And Gao Ming, as Li Shimin's representative, almost every two or three days, went to Hongfu Temple to inspect the progress and quality of the "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" written by Xuanzang, and then reported to Li Shimin.

Seeing Gao Ming's frequent arrival, Xuanzang also realized how much Li Shimin attached importance to this matter. So he is also more diligent every day, often fighting with candles and nights, and staying up all night.

After Li Shimin learned from Gao Ming that Xuanzang worked so hard, he was also very satisfied, and in order to reward him, he ordered the Ministry of Industry to build a high tower in Chang'an City.

When Xuanzang completed "The Legend of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", the newly built tower was also completed.

On the day of the completion of the tower, Li Shimin also attended the scene in person, and inscribed three big characters on the plaque of the tower-

Big Wild Goose Pagoda!

Although the monks cut off the seven emotions and six desires. But seeing this tower built because of himself, Xuanzang's heart couldn't help but get excited.

He immediately put on the robe given to him by Li Shimin. With slow but unwavering steps, he walked to the altar under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and began his first round of lectures after returning to Chang'an.

"When contemplating the bodhisattva of self-reliance, when he walks deep in Prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering......

Xuanzang opened his mouth to be a "Paramita Heart Sutra", which is a scripture he translated himself, for which he does not know how much effort he has put in, and now, he wants to selflessly dedicate these most valuable treasures to everyone.

It's a pity that not everyone needs this wealth, at least not Gao Ming.

When Xuanzang was preaching, he took his sister Li Mingda, the princess of Jinyang, to leave the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and go outside the city to watch horse racing.

The period since then. Xuanzang preached at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda every day, causing the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to be surrounded by large and small, married and unmarried women every day.

Of course, not all of these people are believers, and a large part of them are there to join in the fun.

For example, Gao Ming's two younger sisters, Princess Jinyang and Princess Gaoyang.

Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang is better, she usually sneaks out to see it once in two or three days, and she goes with Gao Ming.

But Princess Gaoyang is different, now she is married to Fang Xuanling's second son, and she is much freer than before, so she goes to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda almost every day to watch Xuanzang preach.

At first, Gao Ming didn't pay much attention to it, until one time when he passed by the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Li Mingda suddenly sneakily came to his ear.

"Big Brother Big Brother...... I'll tell you, Sister Seventeen likes that big monk! ”

"Uh...... No way? ”

Hearing Li Mingda's words, Gao Ming was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to look at Xuanzang, who was hanging in front of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and his brows suddenly wrinkled.

"Xuanzang, that guy is black and old, uglier than Fang Yiai, Xiao Seventeen actually likes him with such a heavy taste? Little son, you didn't lie to me, did you? ”

"It's not Master Xuanzang, it's the ...... The one next to Master Xuanzang! ”

Li Mingda pointed with his finger as he spoke, Gao Ming looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, he saw a different monk-

A monk with red lips and white teeth, a young appearance, and a bit of grace!

According to the words of later generations, this is called "little fresh meat"!

At this time, he was sitting next to Xuanzang sorting out the scriptures, and it seemed that he should be Xuanzang's assistant, and his every move attracted the attention of many girls present.

Among them is Princess Goyang!

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming's brows immediately furrowed, and he immediately pouted at the Su Gan Chengji behind him.

"Go. Help me inquire about the details of this monk. ”

"No!" Su Gan Chengji agreed, and immediately turned around.

It was about a few minutes before he came back to report back to Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness Prince Qiqi, my subordinates have already inquired, and this person next to Master Xuanzang is from another temple, and he is a lawyer."

"Debate?"

Hearing this name, Gao Ming's brows suddenly furrowed even more.

"It turned out to be him!"

Gao Ming remembered that in historical records, Princess Gao Yang's cheating object was this debate machine, and later Li Shimin was furious when he learned about it. Ordered someone to cut the debate machine in half.

Because of the death of the debate machine, Gao Yang has always held a grudge, and even Li Shimin "did not show his sorrow" when he died.

Later, Li Zhi ascended the throne and became emperor, and she was given death after the matter was revealed because she planned to support Li Yuanjing, the king of Jing.

It can be said that because of the debate, Princess Gaoyang's life has been changed.

Thinking of this, Gao Ming looked at Princess Gaoyang, who was looking up at the ignorant and looking up, and then at the solemn debate monk under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and a fierce light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Regardless of whether the historical record is true or not, in order to save trouble in the future, it seems that I have to strike first!"

After making a decision, Gao Ming immediately changed his itinerary and no longer went to the racecourse outside the city, but returned to the palace with Li Mingda's reluctant expression. Then he took a dozen guards and eunuchs and went straight to Hongfu Temple.

When Gao Ming came to Hongfu Temple with people, Xuanzang and others who went to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to give lectures also returned.

So the presiding officer of the temple immediately ordered the room to prepare a meal and entertain Gao Ming.

Gao Ming was not polite, and immediately sat down to have dinner with the monks of Hongfu Temple.

While eating, he turned his head to look at the debate monk sitting next to Xuanzang.

"Sitting next to Master Xuanzang, this master is very naΓ―ve, I don't know where it is sacred?"

"Amitabha!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Xuanzang immediately pronounced a Buddha name, and then said with a smile: "This is the disciple of Master Daoyue, the master of Puguang Temple, he came from Huichang Temple in Jinchengfang, northwest of Chang'an City, and he is familiar with the Mahayana Sutras, so he was selected to be the translation field of poor monks." ”

"Yike...... It turned out to be a high monk! ”

As soon as Xuanzang's words fell, Gao Ming showed a look of surprise, and then stepped forward to hold the hand of the monk and opened his mouth to him sincerely.

"I have heard that the Buddha fed eagles with meat, and today the prince also wants to be an eagle, so he specially asked the master for two taels of meat, I wonder if the master is willing to cut it?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, everyone present was stunned for a moment, obviously not knowing what he meant.

And the debate monk was stunned for a short time. quickly came back to his senses, and then folded his hands and saluted Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a future saint. It is not comparable to a mere eagle, but the little monk is just a fledgling little novice, and he can't be compared with the Buddha, and now His Royal Highness the Prince has spoken, don't say that it is two or two meats, even if it is the life of a poor monk, even if it is to take it! ”

"Hahahaha. The debater is really quick to speak, and Lone admires people like you! ”

Hearing the words of the debate monk, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing, and patted him on the shoulder while laughing.

"If you have such an awareness, I believe that you will definitely become a high-ranking monk in the future, and I am optimistic about you...... Someone, immediately take the debater mage down to cleanse himself and cut off the root of right and wrong between his legs! ”

"No!"

Debate: "Ξ£(Β°β–³Β°|||) ︴”
