"It's a monk again, it seems that we also have a relationship with a monk today!" Pei Lin smiled at Li Xiu as he walked, only to see that not far from the steps of the Liangyi Palace, a young monk was kneeling there, his hands folded and his head bowed, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly for a while. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Strange, how could a monk appear here?" Li Xiu was also quite surprised at this time, if it was a Taoist priest who appeared in the palace, it would be forgivable, after all, Li Yuan had already recognized Lao Tzu as his ancestor, and he usually treated Taoist priests quite preferentially, and occasionally called some famous Taoist priests into the palace to discuss Taoism, but it was a little surprising that a monk appeared in the palace.

"Let's go in and maybe we'll find out." Pei Lin was also looking at this monk at this time, and then chuckled and said, Any kind of strange thing can happen in the palace, after all, the eyes of the whole world are staring here.

At that moment, Li Xiu and Pei Lin walked into the Liangyi Hall together, and Li Shimin immediately summoned them, but when they walked into the main hall, they saw Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji sitting opposite each other, as if they were discussing something?

"Pei Gong, Li Xiu, you came just in time, come and help me see what this is?" When Li Shimin saw Li Xiu coming in, he immediately beckoned to him with a smile on his face.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Xiu and Pei Lin also glanced at each other in surprise, and then stepped forward quickly, only to see a delicate small box on the bookcase in front of Li Shimin, and there was a crystal clear thing in the box, which looked like crystal or glass, but if it was crystal and glass, Li Shimin should not be so interested in letting Li Xiu and Pei Lin come to identify it.

"This one looks like a medicinal jade or a water jade, but if you look closely, it seems to be a little different?" Pei Lin carefully observed for a moment at this time and finally spoke, and at the same time his brows furrowed slightly, the so-called medicinal jade refers to glass, and water jade refers to crystal.

"Hehe, this is indeed not a medicinal jade, nor is it a water jade, but you may not believe it when you say it, the person who gave this thing said that it is actually a Buddha tooth relic, and it was left by the Buddha!" Li Shimin couldn't help but smile when he heard Pei Lian's words.

"Buddha tooth relic!" Li Xiu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he heard this, although he has always been respectful of ghosts and gods, but he also knows something about Buddhism and Taoism, such as some Buddhist monks will leave some bones or relics when they die, the most precious of which is naturally the relics left by the Buddha Shakyamuni, if this is really the Buddha's tooth relic, then its value is simply immeasurable.

"This is impossible, the Buddha tooth relics have been enshrined in the solemn temple, a few years ago, the old man was fortunate to see the Buddha tooth relics with his own eyes, it is not like this at all!" Pei Lin shook his head firmly at this time, and said that the name of the Buddha's tooth in his mouth was Faxian Buddha's tooth, which was brought back from Khotan by the Southern Dynasty monk Faxian, and it was placed in the solemn temple of Chang'an after several twists and turns, and it was difficult for ordinary people to see it at all.

"Pei Gong said well, I have also seen the Buddha tooth in the solemn temple, the color is yellow and white like jade, I heard that occasionally it will shine brightly, and this Buddha tooth is completely different, but this Buddha tooth was brought back from the lion country by a monk, and I have already asked the monk, there are four Buddha tooth relics left by the Buddha at the beginning, but there are only two that have been handed down, one is placed in the solemn temple of my Tang Dynasty, and the other is lost to the lion country, and the Buddha tooth is not necessarily exactly the same, so if this Buddha tooth is really the one of the lion country, It makes sense! Li Shimin spoke again at this time.

"This is definitely not the Buddha tooth of the Lion Country!" As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, he saw Li Xiu immediately speak.

"Oh? Li Xiu, why are you so sure? Li Shimin was not angry when he heard this, but asked with some surprise.

"Your Royal Highness doesn't know, the Lion Country is a Buddha country, it can even be said that the Buddha is a country, the Buddha tooth is an important symbol of the Lion Country, the whole country is dedicated to the Buddha's tooth, I heard that the Buddha's tooth house dedicated to the Buddha's tooth is built extremely gorgeously, the walls are inlaid with countless gems, and it is only open for a few days a year, allowing outsiders to look at the Buddha's tooth from afar, and the guard of the Buddha's tooth is also extremely strict, how can it be easily brought to the Tang Dynasty by a monk?" Li Xiu said with an affirmative face.

It's also a coincidence, Li Xiu had been to Sri Lanka once in his previous life, that is, the lion country he said just now, and that time was mainly a tour organized by the company, so he went around Sri Lanka and learned a lot about the history of this country, and naturally knew some about the famous Buddha tooth relic, so he could be so sure.

"The colt is really knowledgeable, and even knows the situation in the Lion Country!" At this time, Changsun Wuji finally smiled and said, but when he said this, he changed his words, "It's just that you don't know about the horse, this Buddha tooth relic in front of you does have a lot of magic, such as it is extremely hard, no matter what kind of treasure knife can't hurt it in the slightest, it's just amazing!" ”

"Hard?" Li Xiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he thought of something, and immediately strode to the Buddha's tooth, and then said to Li Shimin, "Prince, can I pick it up and take a closer look?" ”

"Of course!" Li Shimin is also very generous, he also wants to figure out what this thing is, it is so hard?

"Thank you, Your Highness!" After Li Xiu thanked him, he stretched out his hand and took out the Buddha's tooth from the box, and then carefully observed it, only to see that this so-called Buddha's tooth was half the size of a fist, very heavy, and crystal clear, and the front tip and back were wide, and it did look a little like a tooth, but if the Buddha's teeth were really that big, I am afraid he would have to be a giant several feet tall.

"What a big diamond!" Li Xiu looked at it for a long time, and finally trembled with excitement and said, in his experience, this is definitely a diamond, but this head is too big, so when he first saw it, he didn't dare to think about the diamond at all, but now that he thinks about it, the largest Cullinan diamond in the future is said to be the size of an adult's fist, which is twice as big as the diamond in front of him.

"Diamonds? What is that? Li Shimin and the three of them saw that Li Xiu actually recognized the origin of this thing, and they all asked excitedly.

"Diamond, also known as diamond, is the hardest thing in the world, and it is also one of the most precious gemstones in the world, but the average diamond is very small, and it is really rare to have a diamond as big as this!" Li Xiu reluctantly put the diamond back in the box while introducing, if such a big diamond was placed in the previous life, it could make anyone go crazy.

"The hardest thing, no wonder the sword can't hurt it in the slightest!" Li Shimin finally showed a sudden expression of realization when he heard Li Xiu's explanation, in fact, he also doubted the authenticity of this Buddha tooth, but because it was too hard, even a little hard to believe, this made him not sure of the authenticity of this Buddha tooth.

"It seems that that Xuanzang still has a little knowledge, this accounting Buddha tooth is really fake!" At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji also whispered to himself.

Although the voice of the eldest grandson Wuji was not loud, Li Xiu still heard it, which made him stunned for a moment, and then he asked him with wide eyes: "Xuanzang? Which Xuanzang? ”

"Hehe, it's the young monk kneeling outside the hall!" Eldest Sun Wuji explained with a smile at this time.

"His Dharma name is Xuanzang?" Li Xiu heard this and confirmed again that not many people may have heard of the name Xuanzang in later generations, but his other name must be known to everyone, that is, Tang Sanzang, or Tang Seng, is the white, fat, kind-hearted master in Journey to the West.

"Yes, a few days ago, there was a monk from the sea who offered this Buddha tooth, I don't know whether it's true or not, so I sent someone to find some monks to identify, but these monks also have different opinions, some people say it's true and some people say it's false, and although Xuanzang outside the door is young, but he is a famous rising star in Buddhism, so today I asked him to identify, but he also concluded that it was false after he saw it, but he couldn't say a convincing truth." Li Shimin also explained with a smile at this time.

"Because of this, His Highness punished him to kneel outside the door?" Li Xiu asked strangely when he heard this, with Li Shimin's character, shouldn't he blame an unrelated person for such a trivial matter?

"Of course not, it's just that this Xuanzang made a request afterwards, and I didn't agree to him, so he knelt outside the hall and didn't leave, wanting me to change my mind!" Li Shimin was also quite helpless at this time, he invited the person, and also helped him identify the authenticity of the Buddha's tooth, but unfortunately the monk's request was too much, otherwise he wouldn't mind helping him.

"Oh? What kind of requirements? Pei Lin couldn't help but ask curiously when he heard this, just now he and Li Xiu were very curious about the monks outside the hall, but at this time Li Xiu didn't speak, because he had already guessed.

"That Xuanzang said that he wanted to go to Tianzhu to learn scriptures and ask for my permission, but I didn't agree, so he knelt outside and didn't leave, and I couldn't force him away, so I could only let him kneel like this!" Li Shimin spread his hands at this time and said, he invited people before, and now if he forcibly blasts people away, it will also affect his reputation as a new prince.

"Your Highness, it's just a monk, what he asked for when he went to Tianzhu is just a document for customs clearance, which is just a gesture for His Highness, why don't you agree?" Li Xiu asked a little puzzled at this time.

As soon as Li Xiu's words fell, he found that Pei Lin and Eldest Sun Wuji were both looking at him with a smiling expression, which made his heart move, and he understood that he must have said the wrong thing, but he was not familiar with the government and politics, and it was normal to say the wrong thing.

"Li Xiu, I agree that it is indeed very simple to let Xuanzang out of the customs, but if you really do this, maybe it will bring you more trouble!" Li Shimin also looked at Li Xiu at this time, and then explained with a smile, that is, Li Xiu asked like this, otherwise if he was another person, he might get him a reprimand. (To be continued.) )
