So, Li Zhi reasoned with the gods and said to them: "These days, the two of you have worked hard about the matter of welcoming the Buddha's finger bone relics, and I and Mei Niang also sincerely thank you. In the face of such a prosperous era of Buddhism, this Buddha's finger bone relics also make the people's good thoughts increase day by day, and make it easier for me to govern the country. Therefore, Mei Niang and I discussed it just now, and heard that the true body relics of this Buddha's finger bone are still in the palace of this Holisha country. In addition to these years, there are often five Indian envoys to our Datang, and my Datang has not sent a single person to go again. Therefore, there was the idea of sending Wang Changshi to envoy these five Indians again. On the one hand, it is to pay tribute to the Buddha again for me and the queen, and bless our Tang Dynasty with peace and security, political communication and harmony; On the other hand, it is to visit these five Indian countries as a gift in return. I don't know what Wang Changshi thinks? ”

"Now that Your Majesty and Niangniang have decided, the minister must live up to his mission." This is another ten years have passed, what has happened in India in these years, although it has been sent twice, but I really want to see it again, plus this way, I have already had some exchanges with Master Xuanzang, and Master Xuanzang also supports his envoy again, so he agreed with His Majesty's idea.

So far, Li Zhi and Empress Wu are also happy.

"Since Wang Changshi has no opinion, then please ask Master Xuanzang to tell me the details of the five Indian Buddha rites, and what to pay attention to, so as to show the piety of me and Mei Niang." Li Zhi asked again.

But seeing this Wu Meiniang added along with his words: "Yes, Your Majesty and I are exactly what we mean, our original intention is to follow the custom that the mage has always had, which is not only economical, but also can show the great atmosphere of our Tang Dynasty, and at the same time can reflect the piety of the two of us." ”

So, after thinking about it carefully, Master Xuanzang said: "Since it is a sincere worship of the Buddha, it is better to take a look at these five famous Buddha sites in India." In this way, on the one hand, it can not only reflect the sincerity of His Majesty and Niangniang, but also spread the intentions of His Majesty and Niangniang more widely in the land of five Indias. ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded their heads again and again, expressing their approval!

Seeing that they all nodded in agreement, Master Xuanzang then said: "The Buddha has never been thick, as for this Buddha and the supplies needed, according to the old monk's opinion, it is already okay to offer a purple robe and a seven-treasure ring knife, which can not only show this popular mentality, but also reflect the sincerity of Niangniang and His Majesty." ”

Hearing this, Li Zhi immediately sent an order, ordering the Shangyi supervisor to quickly prepare some purple robes for the envoy's use. Thus, the matter of this envoy was roughly finalized.

This time the envoy was still the same as before, and after Li Zhi officially moved the edict, Wang Xuance began to make due preparations. Of course, this week, Chen and the others heard that they were going to these five India again, and their mood was getting higher and higher, after all, they had been away from here for ten years, and they had already had feelings with here, so they really wanted to return to the land of these five Indias again, take a walk, and have a look......

Of course, when they were about to set off, they still discussed a lot of issues with Master Xuanzang. Including the relics of Buddhism, as well as the things and problems that may be encountered, this in-depth discussion is done.

At the same time, Wang Xuance also went to meet another person, who was his uncle Li Chunfeng. Li Chunfeng has been like a guiding light on the road of his life over the years, and whenever he encounters confusion, he can always give him great comfort in his heart.

No, but seeing that Wang Xuance was in this Taishi Bureau, the two of them talked like this.

"It's been ten years, and I remember that it was only five years, and these five India have changed dramatically, and now another ten years have passed, and I don't know what happened there? What has changed, will the little nephew's mission to five India go smoothly this time? ”

But seeing this Li Chunfeng, he didn't have any extra words, so he casually used three Kaiyuan Tongbao to put out a copper coin lesson. Take a closer look at the "water and sky needs". Then he said with this smile on his face: "This hexagram is called Shui Tianyi, and it is a quiet hexagram. The lower dry and the upper ridge are stacked, and the lower hexagram is dry, representing the meaning of strength; The hexagram is a kan, which means the image of danger. In order to just meet the danger, it is advisable to be steady, not to act recklessly, this trip, we must wait for changes, so we will be successful. And the celestial phenomena are in my Tang Dynasty, so as long as the virtuous nephew adheres to a good thought, he will be in trouble. ”

Seeing that Wang Xuance wanted to continue asking, Li Chunfeng still said such a proverb as if playing a dumb riddle: "

The pearl is buried deep for a long time,

There is no light and no light to this day,

Suddenly a strong wind blew the earth,

Nature reveals that there is a re-re-show. ”

"Uncle Shi, what does this mean?"

"The secret of heaven must not be revealed, and when the time comes, you will know." So this Wang Xuance could only helplessly say hello and then left this Taishi Bureau.

In fact, why did he go to this Taishi Bureau and ask for help from his uncle, it was precisely because of this ripple in his calm heart.

It turned out that a few days before preparing to leave, the queen Wu specially sent a decree to let him enter the palace. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the queen has rarely summoned foreign ministers, especially officials like him. Why did he summon himself alone, so this Wang Xuance entered the Daxing Palace with a nervous mood and came to this Lizheng Palace. After arriving at this political hall, Wu Meiniang was very polite, gave up her seat, and was quite courteous, as if she regarded herself as his important minister.

Of course, all this also made Wang Xuance, who has always been very restrained, very uncomfortable. Finally, after the conversation box was opened, this Wu Meiniang not only asked about the customs and people in various parts of India, but also asked about all the deeds of the famous queen of India, Queen Raja Sri. Wang Xuance had always been good friends with the queen when he was on the first two missions, and he heard that the queen asked so much. Naturally, he knew everything and told Wu Meiniang in detail. Of course, Wang Xuance also found some clues through her words and deeds, this Empress Wu, after asking so many things, why is she so interested in the queen's affairs. Gradually, through her eyes, he not only saw the desire for power, but also felt the slightest chill.

Of course, if that's it, it's nothing. What made him feel the most awkward was after talking about the queen. This Empress Wu explained to him the two supreme treasures of Buddhism, the Buddha's top bone relics and the Buddha's finger bone relics. Although she didn't say it, through these words and deeds, it was enough to make people feel this strong desire to possess and take it for themselves.

At the end, I only heard this Empress Wu say to him: "This time to send five Indians, don't rush back, travel over there, take a good look, you must convey my and Your Majesty's intentions in place, and at the same time, don't live up to the expectations of this palace for you."

As a result, this Wang Xuance could only carry this chill and tremble out of this political palace; has been pondering this matter, and he really can't figure it out, so he told his uncle Li Chunfeng about this matter in his heart, and Li Chunfeng didn't have too many words, just like playing a dumb riddle, he just took such a hexagram......

Thus, the third mission of this generation of fierce people to Five India began in this way...... What kind of things can he bring to the exchange of Eastern and Western civilizations, follow the text and look down......
