During the banquet, Liluoja also asked Wang Xuance and others how to plan their itinerary in the five India without the Buddha relics during the conversation. Wang Xuance replied to them that one of the main purposes of this time was to pay homage to the Buddha. Although there is no worship of this Buddha relic, but on the land of the five Indians, there are still many Buddha relics, so I am ready to pay homage to them......

Of course, in the face of this arrangement, Lyroja did not have any disagreement, after all, this is not only a brother who has shared hardships in the past, but also an envoy of the kingdom. So, he also agreed, and also proposed to send troops to escort them, but Wang Xuance politely refused, after all, with their current identity and prestige, in these five Indian lands, there is no opponent who can threaten them!

So, this grand state banquet was carried out in a happy and peaceful atmosphere, and everything was so orderly and orderly. As time passed, with bursts of drunkenness, the group returned to the post house safely.

After a few days of rest, in this Qunu City, they not only felt the prosperity of this Qunu City, but also felt the acceleration of material exchanges between the two countries because of the opening of the Tang Fan Road. Of course, it is inevitable to eat a few bowls of tofu brain to relieve the pain of homesickness......

On this day, I saw that in this post house, Wang Xuance, Zhou Zeng, Chen Maocai, and Xiao Liu were gathered together, discussing the specific direction of the next step......

"Big brother, there are no relics of Buddhism in this Qunu City now, where should we go next?" After Chen Maocai lightly seized the tea, he took the lead in asking.

"Tomorrow, we should go to the Nalanda Temple outside the city, and take a look at it again, although it was dilapidated at that time, but after all, this Buddha tooth relic flows from here to our Tang Dynasty, it should be so" Wang Xuance replied unhurriedly......

"The kings who should have met have all met, although these two Buddhist relics are missing now, I feel that we should plan a detailed route in order to observe the Buddha in a better and orderly manner, so that we can complete the task as soon as possible and return to Datang as soon as possible, I miss my family Cui'er......" Zhou Zeng said with Wang Xuance's words.

One sentence made the servants laugh. But seeing this little six smiled and answered: "What Senior Brother Zhou said is very true, I miss my mother too, but I listen to you, as long as there is good food and fun, everything is fine." One sentence provoked Zhou Zeng, and he rubbed his head casually.

So, after seeing that Wang Xuance thought about it for a while, he said: "At present, what we can bring back to Datang may be the rubbing of this Buddha's footprint stone." Between the words, he instructed Xiao Liu to take out the map.

When Xiao Liu spread this map on the square table surrounded by four people, Wang Xuance went on to say to them: "There are Buddha footprint stones in this Wuchang country, and there are also Buddha footprint stones in this corpse Najie country, these two places are very famous Buddhist holy sites, and in this Brahmanis country, there is this Nagarjuna Bodhisattva's pagoda, as well as more than 700 pagoda remains. In this Vaishali country, there are the remains of Vimalaya laymen, and of course, in this now barren Magadha country, there are the remains of this Mahabodhi Temple, which should also be the main relics of our view. I thought we might as well just take a look at the main Buddha ruins and then look at some other places, so that we would basically be able to visit the whole of the five Indias. What do you think? ”

But seeing this Chen Maocai, after frowning, he replied to his words: "In this way, it is also good, judging from the map, this Wuchang country is far away from us, and in the northwest direction, I think it is better for us to go to this Wuchang country and the corpse Najie country to obtain this Buddha footprint rubbing, so that the heart will be more peaceful." Then he traveled to the country of Brahmanis, the Vaishali and the ancient Magadha, and so on. After the completion of the trip, follow the road you came, from Sang and many countries into Ni Bora and then return to our Datang, what do you think? ”

"This line is also in line with my mind, what do you think of Xiaoliu and Zhou Zeng?" Wang Xuance raised his head and opened his mouth to ask the two of them for advice.

"I listen to you, I have no opinion," Zhou Zeng replied casually.

"Me too, how you say to go, I'll follow you how you go" Xiao Liu still replied with a silly smile. So, the four of them, on this route, did some detailed deliberation and discussion, and formulated a specific roadmap.

After a day, it's another sunny time. A group of more than 30 people, all dressed in brand new and clean Tang Dynasty official uniforms, riding a sturdy Qinghai skull, accompanied by the singing of birds and flowers, along the boulevard, towards the holy place in their hearts, Nalanda Temple.

They also know the current situation of this Nalanda Temple, although during this second mission to the Five Indias, Alona went to the Brahmana to extinguish the Buddha, this Nalanda Temple bore the brunt of the depression very quickly. However, since Liluoja succeeded to the throne, he also gave more support, and this Venerable Jie Xian was still alive at that time, so it gradually prospered.

Although Venerable Jiexian later presented this Buddha tooth relic to Wang Xuance, it is still a sacred place in the hearts of Buddhists. It's a pity that since the death of Master Jiexian, Kumarila has gone here many times to challenge, and in the face of repeated defeats, this Nalanda Temple is no better than the current Dajialan Temple.

When they arrived at the mountain gate of this temple, the current temple master, Master Mingjing, was already waiting outside this mountain gate with a few disciples. Seeing the arrival of everyone, he immediately greeted him, put his hands together and saluted: "The old monk is clear, waiting for Wang Changshi's arrival."

Wang Xuance and the others immediately turned over and dismounted, and replied quite reverently: "Thank you for the great kindness of the master, I am waiting for this time, on the one hand, to pay homage to the Buddha, and on the other hand, to mourn this precept master."

So, after everyone greeted each other, Wang Xuance and others were introduced into this Nalanda Temple by Master Mingjing. Looking at this very deserted Nalanda Temple, it also made them have mixed feelings, and they never thought that they had experienced such great ups and downs in the past ten years. But fortunately, there were some psychological preparations, so they gradually integrated into this bleak environment.

The ceremony of paying homage to the Buddha is still as grand and formal as before, accompanied by the Sanskrit sound of Buddhist music, under the explanation of this Mingjing Master, it is still Wang Xuance who took the lead in picking up the three incense sticks, respectfully facing the Buddha statue in the main hall, and bowed sincerely, followed by Zhou Chen and the two leading everyone to a sincere worship.

Although there are no footprints of the Buddha in this Nalanda Temple, as a former Buddhist holy place, Wang Xuance still decided to offer a purple robe and a seven-treasure ring knife here. So, after all the people had finished saluting. Wang Xuance respectfully said to Master Mingjing: "My Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Empress Niangniang, in order to sincerely offer to the Buddha, so I asked me to go to our five India again, and pay more respects. I beg the Master to accept it on your behalf. ”

Looking at such a strong affection, this Mingjing Master, with a word of thanks, accepted the two treasures from the Great Tang Kingdom......

What's next? Please see the next ......
