Although there are mixed feelings about the five drastic changes in Indian Buddhism; But their conversation was still going on in this peaceful atmosphere.

Although Zhou Zeng was also surprised by the sudden decline of Buddhism in the Five Indias. Although he did not understand how Brahmanism could argue against Buddhism on the subject of this doctrine, he could not understand it; However, I also feel that the current situation of the Buddha is not optimistic.

And Chen Maocai, these days, he also more or less knew the reason why Wang Xuance was summoned by Empress Wu alone at that time and went to talk. I have also understood that this time I came to worship the Buddha in five Indias; The most fundamental purpose may be these two supreme treasures of Buddhism. Although he vaguely knew it, he also privately agreed with Wang Xuance's proposition, everything is natural, what should be ours is ours, and we can't grab it. So, when he sensed that Buddhism was declining again in these five Indias, he seemed to smell a glimpse of the balance tilting in his favor.

And Wang Xuance, who has been following Master Xuanzang all these years, has long had this yearning for Buddhism, and when he understood the situation of Buddhism in the five Indian lands, he couldn't help but feel a lot more sad. It's really ten years, and things are not people.

Looking at their thoughtful expressions, I saw the old king ask again: "I don't know Wang Changshi, what is the so-called thing about going to my five India this time?" It's not just for the sake of the Buddha! ”

Hearing this question, Wang Xuance came back to his senses and told the truth: "On the one hand, it is to promote the exchanges between our Tang Dynasty and the five Indian countries, and jointly maintain the safety of this Tangfan Ancient Road that has been opened. On the other hand, it is because after Master Xuanzang returned to the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism flourished again in our Tang Dynasty, so another purpose is to look at the relics of the Buddha on behalf of His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and pay tribute to the Buddha in robes. ”

"Since the last time you put down the rebellion of this Alona Shun usurping power, the prestige of the five India can be said to be famous in all directions, although the influence of this Holisha country has been far less than before, but my five India is still peaceful, so this time to visit the Buddha, safety is not too big a problem, you can rest assured that you can travel" The old king said to him sincerely.

Yes, ten years ago, he personally led 8,000 cavalry to drink on the banks of the Janga River, not only had a very close relationship with the kings of the five Indian countries, but also relied on this morality to dominate the countries in one fell swoop. What a majesty and how heroic it was at that time. However, since then, after that rebellion, the state of Holysha has also suffered a great loss of vitality. Therefore, this Wang Xuance returned like this: "It's been ten years, I didn't expect these five India to change so much, Xuan Ce is still adhering to justice this time, sincerely worshiping the Buddha, and I really don't want to entangle our countries anymore."

"Haha, Changshi is very right" Then the old king's tone changed again: "I don't know what the ending will be after Alonashun arrives in your Tang Dynasty?" ”

"When I brought their family of three back to the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty also thanked him for being the king of a country, although there was a big mistake, but he was not killed, and he was given a small house in this Chang'an City, and he was enshrined without worrying about food and clothing every day, and he and his wife Almita also died a few years ago. Wang Xuance said in a slightly low voice.

When Wang Xuance heard Wang Xuance talk about such a happy ending of this Alonashun, the old king was also slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "I never thought that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would be so kind-hearted and could treat traitors so leniently, it seems that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is also destined by God."

Wang Xuance and everyone smiled to show courtesy......

At this time, I saw that this week had said with a trace of worry: "Now that the competition between this Buddhism and Brahmanism is so fierce, will we encounter insecurity factors in worshiping the Buddha, the eldest brother has always warned us to follow the local customs, and asked the king to tell one or two, if it appears, how should we deal with ourselves." ”

Hearing Zhou Zeng's words, everyone smiled in surprise, they didn't expect him to have such a meticulous thought. I saw this old king, while brushing this beard, he smiled and said to them: "You can rest assured, although there are many disputes between my five Indian Buddhism and Brahmanism, but among these monks, that is, the method of dialectic, only through this dialectic to discern others is the right way, and will not be resorted to force. ”

Speaking of this place, they are also quite satisfied, they did not expect that the five India are so harmonious at present, and it seems to be a blessing.

"Since we talked about this Buddha worship, when I came, I also heard Master Xuanzang talk about the many Buddhist relics in these five Indias. I also know that the king is also a devout Buddhist, and I ask the king to help us plan a reasonable route for worshipping the Buddha," Wang Xuance then took the opportunity to ask the old king for advice.

Listening to this, the old king is also not easy to shirk, although these five Indian Buddhism is in decline, but it is also a blessing to be able to have an official envoy from a foreign land to worship the Buddha in person. Therefore, he said frankly: "Since you have come to worship the Buddha, there are still many relics of Buddhism in these five Indian lands. There is a statue of the Buddha when he attained Nirvana in this Urchang country, and there is a statue of the Buddha when he attained Nirvana in this Brahma, and you can go to the former residence of this Vimalaya monk to have a look. At the same time, this Mahabodhi Temple is now more prosperous, and you can still pay respects. By the way, there are also samples of the Buddha's footprints in this detained corpse, and you can also go there. In this Brahmanai country, it is a good choice for Nagarjuna to build the remains of the 700 pagodas, but it is a pity that I am in this Sangji country, although I believe in Buddhism, but there are no relics of the Buddha. ”

So, listening to the old king's intimate arrangement, under Wang Xuance's instructions, Chen Maocai also carefully recorded these words completely for the future to worship the Buddha one by one.

After some thanks, Wang Xuance then asked: "I don't know what the situation of the Great Jialan Temple in this calamity is now compared to that of other countries?" ”

"Alas, this calamity has been much more depressed than other countries since it was destroyed by Prad at that time, and you know that since the restoration of Lipbocar, although this great Jialan Temple has also become more and more prosperous, but because this Kumoriro also brought down the monks here, it has now entered a time of depression. So it's hard to be tight...... "The old king also shook his head and replied helplessly.
