Chapter 19: Asking for the Buddha's Treasure to Settle Down with the Encounter and the Difficulties of the People in the Abandoned City (I)
As the attendant hurriedly broke in, Wang Xuance immediately stopped his words. After glancing at the attendant, he said with a slight anger: "What is the so-called matter of this fiery fire? I didn't say a word when I came in. ”
"The king, the ladies of this harem quarreled again, and asked the king to go over and persuade him, but the little ones really couldn't persuade him" The attendant also said with a look of grievance.
"Is this Concubine Ming and this Concubine Zhao quarreling again?" King Deva asked casually.
"Yes, King"
King Dewa, hearing this, is also quite angry, these two concubines are newly recruited, not only young and beautiful, but also stunning, originally wanted to add some fun to their old harem life, never thought that they would often be jealous. Today she is jealous of the many rewards she has received, and tomorrow she resents the many favors she has received. Therefore, the king of Deva, who was also tormented, was very irritable. When I heard that it was noisy again. So he said quite angrily: "You go, spread the will of the king, let the two of them stop arguing immediately, and if they quarrel again, they will all be expelled from the palace and reduced to pariahs!" ”
"This, is this appropriate" The attendant returned to the ...... in a hurry
"What's suitable or not, go quickly...... The king is too lazy to get involved in their affairs anymore," said King Deva angrily.
"Otherwise, let's talk about it later, the king still has to deal with this matter!" Wang Xuance watched this scene and thought that there was still a little hidden in the middle, so he replied to his words with sincerity.
King Deva heard the meaning of his words, so he hurried to say: "Virtuous brother must not, these two concubines, this time is too worrying for the king, finally these years, national security, family security, originally wanted to find some fun in his old age, but never expected that it would disrupt the harem, it is too infuriating......" said and shook his head helplessly, and then glanced at it again, and the attendant who was still kneeling said loudly: "Why don't you go on an errand quickly, what are you kneeling here?"
Seeing that the king was already angry, the attendant hurriedly got up, left the study, and went to deliver the decree......
King Deva turned his head, looked at Wang Xuance and smiled, and then said, "Brother Xian, please continue......
So this Wang Xuance, along with King Dewa's words, continued: "At that time, Master Xuanzang also explained this to His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and this point of view was also deeply approved by them. However, with the great rise of Buddhism in my Tang Dynasty over the years, the queen has also become a devout Buddhist, what I never expected was that when I was about to send envoys to other countries to pay tribute to the Buddha, the queen summoned me alone once, and told me vaguely that I wanted to find the two treasures of the Buddha, the Buddha's top bone relics and the Buddha's finger relics to bring back to the Tang Dynasty, so I was also very helpless. If this is done, on the one hand, in the five Indias where Buddhism is flourishing, I am sorry for the believers; On the other hand, I am ashamed of His Majesty and Niangniang, the grace of knowing each other over the years. ”
"Ahem, I thought it was something, this matter, the virtuous brother doesn't have to mind at all" King Deva said lightly after taking a sip of tea.
"Why is that?"
"The three supreme treasures of this Buddha were originally all in my country of Nibrata, but later with the development of Buddhism, they have already been transferred to other countries, and whenever this Buddha treasure arrives in that country, that country will flourish Buddhism, and the country will be peaceful and peaceful. Of course, all this is the relief of fate, just like this Buddha tooth relic. It was this Alonashun's non-Taoism that Master Jiexian gave this treasure to his virtuous brother and brought it back to Datang, and Buddhism itself flourished in Datang. Isn't this fate? ”
Saying that, King Deva took another sip of tea, looked at Wang Xuance's thoughtful expression, and then said: "If these two treasures are destined to return to the Tang Dynasty, the virtuous brother does not have to work hard, after traveling in many ways, he will naturally return to the Tang Dynasty, if it is not destined to be the thing of the Tang Dynasty, even if it is forcibly taken away, in the end, it will only bring endless disasters, and there will be no blessings." ”
"I think so too, so all this is fate, this time, I came here to investigate in many ways and see where these two treasures are?" Wang Xuance heard these words, so he said his true thoughts.
"This Buddha finger bone relic, at that time should be in the palace of the king of Holisha, you go to the city of Qunu this time to ask the king of Liluoja, as for this Buddha top bone relic, I heard that it was enshrined in the Great Jialan Temple in this country, but in the middle of the war disaster of the Alona Shun slaughter city, so now, I don't know if it is still here." King Deva said as he pondered.
"Yes, this Buddha finger bone relic was heard to be in this palace at that time; As for this Buddha's top bone relic, it was only seen at the first uncovered conference at that time, and now fifteen or sixteen years have passed. At that time, the Great Jialan Temple was destroyed by this Prad in the flames of war, and the monks also fled in all directions, and it seemed that everything could only be left to fate......"
"Yes, everything is according to fate, less deceit, there is a blessing from the Buddha, there is a blessing from the gods," the king of Deva was also quite pleased to say this thoughtful word to him.
The greetings between the two came to an end for the time being. Although life is full of too much deceit, in Wang Xuance's heart, he has always maintained such a criterion. will not be shaken at all, as Master Xuanzang said at the time, this Buddha treasure must enter the Tang Dynasty with fate, not snatched and occupied; If this is the case, such a bloody thing will not only bring calamity, but also tarnish the light of the Buddha. Therefore, Wang Xuance can only pin his hopes on this luck.
After a few days of rest, Wang Xuance and the others packed their bags and prepared to set off again. King Deva treated his old friends as he had done on the previous two occasions, and after keeping them for a long time, he sent them five miles outside the city of Patan.
"Brother Xian, I don't know when I will see you again, but I hope you all the best." King Deva arched his hand.
"Thank you, my lord, on the day I return, I will definitely come again to ask for a glass of wine to eat." Wang Xuance said that he gave a salute.
And Prapad also followed their words and said: "Brother Zhou, I am still waiting for you to return and try this arm strength again."
"No problem, I'll be with you to the end," Zhou Zeng patted his chest and abdomen and replied to Prapada's words. So, everyone laughed and said goodbye to parting......
With the humid climate, Wang Xuance and the others stepped onto the fat and healthy Qinghai Cong, and walked towards the border of Nibora...... Next, they will, on the advice of King Deva, go to the city of Lumbini, the birthplace of the Buddha.
The editor said: A dialogue has strengthened Wang Xuance's determination to bring the treasures of Buddhism back to the Tang Dynasty through wisdom and fate. And this is also destined for his mission to be peaceful......
