Along the way, looking at the palaces of exotic countries, they all show the characteristics of a country, from the snowy customs of Tibet, the exquisite elegance of Mubora, the simplicity and simplicity of Mulberry and many countries; To the magnificence of the country of Virajuna, the simplicity and dignity of other countries, and the current gold and splendor of the king of the ring, the atmosphere is luxurious. All reflect the consciousness and hobbies of the monarch, and when you think about it carefully, it really has a unique charm and taste.

I saw a finely carved Buddha statue, dotted between the carved beams and paintings; The mighty lions, the arhats with their teeth and claws, accompanied by all kinds of divine beasts, make the splendid palace look unique.

With vigorous steps, everyone arrived at the main hall of the palace of King Holisha step by step. I saw that this Wang Xuance looked at this place a little: the one sitting in the middle should be the King of the Ring of the Sun, and the monk next to him with a rather oriental face suddenly made him a little confused. But after thinking about it, I have already guessed that there is one thing that is not far from ten: as this uncovered conference is about to begin, this should be Master Xuanzang, the master of this conference.

Wang Xuance led Zhou Chen and Dunzhu Gongpo, and after walking to the middle of this hall, he immediately respectfully bowed to the king of the ring. Subsequently, Wang Xuance opened his mouth and said: "The envoy of the Tang Kingdom, the right guard, led the governor Shi Wang Xuance, to send an edict from His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to send an envoy to the country of Holisha, and wish the two countries to reconcile, communicate and trade, and ask the king for his health on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor!" After the words, Wang Xuance then handed over the letter of Li Shimin to the king of the ring day in accordance with the normal procedure.

Although the king of the precepts has been unified for five days, and has often received envoys from various countries; But after all, they are all small countries in Tianzhu that have been conquered by themselves, and they don't have much sense of accomplishment at all. Therefore, when he learned the news that Wang Xuance had sent Tianzhu to Tianzhu, he was not only deeply surprised, but also overjoyed. Therefore, there is this edict to all countries to protect more.

In addition, I have seen this great country with my own eyes today, so I am quite happy to say: "The envoy does not need to be polite, and I will also greet His Majesty the Emperor of your country with good health." After the words, he immediately motioned to the attendant to take the letter of state presented by Wang Xuance, and after checking it slightly, he already felt that His Majesty the Tang Emperor had a lot of business. Then he was even more overjoyed.

There is a way, there are friends from afar who do not say that this ring day king according to the due diplomatic etiquette, after summoning Wang Xuance. In accordance with the usual state banquet procedures, a banquet of fifteen people from the Tang Dynasty delegation was prepared. Of course, this Master Xuanzang wants to accompany him.

In fact, when Wang Xuance appeared in the main hall, Master Xuanzang had already looked at him carefully. When he found that this dignified Tang envoy was only twenty-five or sixteen years old, he instantly remembered himself when he was young. It is also regardless of hardships and hardships, and rushes forward wholeheartedly. However, for the Tang Dynasty, he is an envoy of people-to-people exchanges, and Wang Xuance is a political envoy appointed by the imperial court.

Although the identity is different, the mission is different; But Wang Xuance also came with full peace and sincerity this time, in the final analysis, the fate between the two of them is the same, and it is just for the cultural exchange between the Tang Dynasty and the Wutianzhu departments.

Seeing that the state banquet was being prepared, taking advantage of the gap, the king of this ring took the hand of Master Xuanzang and walked towards Wang Xuance and others. With a smile on his face, he introduced the monk beside them: "Wang Changshi, this is Master Xuanzang from your Eastern Tang Dynasty, who has been deeply cultivating in my Tianzhu for more than ten years, and is familiar with the Great Sutra Collection, the Great Law Collection, and the Great Treatise Collection, so he is called Master Sanzang." ”

But when he saw this Master Xuanzang, he clasped his hands together, gave a bow in person, and spat out "Amitabha Buddha"

Looking at Master Xuanzang who was close at hand, Wang Xuance looked at him carefully again, except for a pair of oriental faces, his clothes were no different from the Tianzhu monks he had seen these days. It is precisely because I have heard many people mention it many times, and I have heard of its name for a long time, although it has a lot of mystery, but after seeing the real person today, I instantly have a sense of intimacy. If you look at it like this, such a familiar face, such a familiar voice, isn't this the Master Xuanzang who rescued him.

A feeling of gratitude suddenly swelled in my heart, but it was inconvenient to explain it at this time. Wang Xuance immediately folded his hands and bowed back. Taking advantage of this gap, we had a brief conversation.

But seeing that Master Xuanzang not only behaves elegantly and walks lightly, but also speaks brilliantly. It was only at this time that Wang Xuance deeply felt that this monk was indeed not simple, even in the Tang Dynasty, it was absolutely rare. At this moment, he didn't know what Master Xuanzang really thought, but he felt that he was indeed a high-ranking monk as mentioned earlier.

I still remember that in a court meeting, Li Shimin faced the matter of the Buddha and said to them: Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, although I have experienced Emperor Gaozu's strategy of cutting off Buddhist paralysis; But to this day, it is a pity that there is still no great monk who knows the Dharma.

Since then, every time he talks about Buddhism, Li Shimin has always felt regretful. Thinking of this, Wang Xuance suddenly felt: Isn't this the great monk that His Majesty is looking for?

In this way, in the depths of Wang Xuance's heart, a seed has been deeply planted at this moment, and a seed to invite Master Xuanzang to return to China.

With the preparation of the state banquet stopped, everyone also sat down and started this luxurious and grand banquet. Facing the largest banquet in Wutianzhu, all the members of the Datang Mission were quite happy.

In short, this state banquet began in a peaceful atmosphere and ended in a beautiful atmosphere. It begins in the discussion of understanding Datang and ends in the process of understanding Tianzhu. It begins with the discussion of Li Shimin's strategy for governing the country and ends in the process of explaining the Tianzhu religion.

Between countries, not only pay attention to politics, but also friendship outside politics; Give friendship to politics, and politics will have more life. During the banquet, the King of the Ring Sun also graciously invited Wang Xuance and others to participate in the five-year uncovered conference. Wang Xuance and the others naturally agreed happily.

When looking at the elegant manners, decent words and deeds of Wang Xuance and others, Master Xuanzang also had some due relief and cordiality. After all, this is an envoy from his home country.

Although the banquet was over, the conversation between the two of them had just begun. After all, there are still a lot of endless words and endless words between them, he wants to understand him, and he also wants to understand the Tang Dynasty that has changed over the years through his mouth.

It was a sunny afternoon, and the breeze gently blew the banana trees that had fallen off their leaves; Although it was very hot in Wutianzhu at this time, this heat could not affect the hearts of the two who wanted to be friends more.

But seeing this, Wang Xuance took Zhou Chen and the others to Master Xuanzang's retreat. Today's three people are all dressed in regular clothes, in order to look more relaxed and natural, because only in this way can they be more heart-to-heart.

Hearing that the attendant came to report that it was the Tang Dynasty envoy Wang Xuance who was already waiting outside the door of the Jingshe, Master Xuanzang's hanging heart finally fell, and he hurriedly got up and went out to greet him in person.

The four of them met each other, and after a simple greeting, they were immediately invited into the retreat by Master Xuanzang.

Sitting north and facing south, this ashram looks very simple, with a statue of the Buddha in the middle of the north gable, as well as an incense table for worship. In the middle of the house, there is a square table plus four futons, and on the square table is a fruit basket with a few good-looking mangoes. Nothing else.

So Master Xuanzang sat north, Wang Xuance sat on the left, Chen Maocai sat on the right, and Zhou Zeng sat on the south.

Although the words were prepared in advance, when it came to the actual meeting, it seemed that they didn't know where to start. But after seeing the four of them laughing at each other, Wang Xuance took the lead in speaking: "Did the mage remember the orphan in the villages on the outskirts of Luoyang sixteen years ago?" ”

Hearing this question, Master Xuanzang took a closer look at this young man. My thoughts gradually returned to sixteen years ago, constantly comparing and confirming, and suddenly I felt so familiar, so I said with surprise: "You are the child who was taken away by Mr. Higashino back then?" ”

Wang Xuance nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you Master for saving your life back then." After the words, he immediately got up and left the table and bowed deeply to Master Xuanzang.

Master Xuanzang also hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Wang Xuance: "Don't be polite, please sit down, please sit down." ”

In a word, the relationship between the two was instantly brought closer. Master Xuanzang never thought that a child who had no intention of saving could represent the Tang Dynasty to go to a foreign land. And Wang Xuance never thought that the monk who had rescued him would have such a great achievement.

"Has the mage been traveling around Tianzhu since he left Middle-earth that year?"

"Yes, after all, it has been fourteen years in Tianzhu now."

"According to convention, when the mage came to Tianzhu at that time, it should have been the time when the Tang Dynasty was imprisoned, and I don't know how the mage arrived."

"To be honest, all the customs channels are adhering to a sincere perseverance."

"May I Listen to the Perseverance of the Master"

"For the sake of the tranquility of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, in order to sweep away the paralysis of Buddhism, if I don't do this, who else can do it? No matter how difficult and difficult it is, you have to contribute your due ability, just like the Buddhist saying: I am not as good as the region, who will go to hell."

"In that case, has the mage ever thought about returning to Tang?" When Wang Xuance heard this grand wish, he immediately asked this deepest question.

When Master Xuanzang heard this question, he also replied with joy: "Very much." But after seeing him pause for a moment, he then said: "Actually, one of my goals for so many years is to seek the true meaning of Buddhism and return to the Tang Dynasty. Over the years in Tianzhu, I have a deep understanding of the purpose of Buddhism. Although I have already moved the heart of returning to the Tang Dynasty, I don't know how our Tang Dynasty views Buddhism now? ”

When the three of them heard Master Xuanzang's affirmative reply, they immediately got up together and looked at Master Xuanzang deeply. This is not only a representative of the thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty, but also a deep love and respect for Master Xuanzang for the country.

Under the humility of Master Xuanzang again, the three of them sat on the futon again.

After taking their seats, Zhou Chen and the others looked at Master Xuanzang with joy. I saw Wang Xuance sincerely and sincerely replied: "Over the years, Your Majesty has been trying to find a high-ranking monk, but he has never found it, and every time he talks about it, he is very sorry. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, Buddhism has been unhindered in our Tang Dynasty. When I return to Tang, I will personally say to Your Majesty that the Master will welcome him home."

Wang Xuance's words involuntarily moved Master Xuanzang deeply, and over the years, only such words were the most intimate. But seeing him holding Wang Xuance's hand tightly, tears had inadvertently wet his eyes!

Every wanderer who is far away from the motherland is full of longing for his homeland; What's more, he is another abandoned son who has been splashed for fifteen or sixteen years. On this day, the four of them talked a lot, from Li Shimin's governance to the development and changes of the Tang Dynasty over the years, and from the situation in the Western Regions to the feelings of the border passes. When he heard every detail, Master Xuanzang showed deep love......
