The Eleventh: Change the name of Tianzhu to India, express your heart and say goodbye (II)
Hearing that the word "India" was used so quickly, everyone was a little flustered, but after a short pause, they immediately laughed. It was only at this time that Master Xuanzang and the others knew that this Sharma had been listening for a long time.
"The minister never thought that Master Xuanzang was such a strict person, which is really admirable, and the word India is indeed translated very properly," Sharma said to Master Xuanzang sincerely.
"The foreign envoy has won the award, this is what a little monk should do," Master Xuanzang replied politely.
After the three of them had seen the etiquette, Master Xuanzang gave up the sharma courtesy next to the tea table during the conversation.
It was only then that Sharma took a closer look at the translation hall. I saw that this scripture translation hall was ten zhang long and three zhang wide; It is a north-south direction, in the direction of facing east, there are three carved hollow mahogany gates.
At the position along the wall, there are bookshelves made of golden silk nanmu, on which all kinds of rare books that have been translated and untranslated are classified and placed in neat and uniform yards.
A dozen or so young monks sitting in front of the bookshelves are carefully translating this Sanskrit scripture.
There is a sandalwood pen holder on each desk, and various types of brushes are hung straight on it. A simple and simple inkstone without pattern decoration is placed next to the pen holder. On the side of the inkstone, a Huizhou ink ingot carved with exquisite ornamentation also makes this study utensil quite elegant.
On top of this desk, in addition to the four treasures of the study, there are more piles of books and notes like a hill. With a gust of breeze coming, the thick scent of ink makes this scripture translation hall quite elegant......
And this tea table is at the northernmost end of this scripture translation hall. Under the courtesy of Master Xuanzang, Wang Xuance sat west next to this tea table, Sharma sat east, and Master Xuanzang himself sat south. After taking his seat, Master Xuanzang immediately poured the black tea in the plain tea cup in front of Sharma. This Sharma carefully picked up the tea cup and gently smacked it, and immediately felt fragrant and endless.
Looking at this Sharma, he was quite curious about the tea-making utensils, so Wang Xuance carefully explained to him: "This is the tea that I Tang people drink every day, and these are the tea-making utensils that are commonly used. We drink this black tea, which is produced in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, after rolling and stir-frying. In addition, this simmer is boiled three times and boiled, which not only quenches thirst, but also refreshes and calms the body. ”
After listening to Wang Xuance's explanation, Sharma not only had a simple understanding of the tea culture of the Tang Dynasty, but also developed a strong interest.
As the conversation box opened, I saw Master Xuanzang politely asking: "Your king, the classics that you have asked for translation have been translated three out of ten so far. ”
"Thank you, Venerable Master, for being so dedicated to the affairs of my Kama Wave Kingdom. I am here for this purpose; On the other hand, it is to visit the Master, and on the occasion of parting, I bid farewell to the Master," Sharma said to Master Xuanzang humbly and politely.
It turned out that this Sharma took everyone to not only visit the scenic spots of Chang'an City, but also see everything in Chang'an City. Although this Datang is very prosperous, it is quite unaccustomed to it after a long time; Coupled with homesickness, I also want to leave Datang and return to my motherland.
When he came to the Tang Dynasty as an envoy, King Kumoro told him many times that he must come to visit Master Xuanzang.
In order to show his sincerity, Sharma also had a better understanding of Datang in order to communicate more appropriately with the mage, so he put this visit in the finale time before leaving.
Because before Sharma's arrival, although he often inquired about the work of translating Tang into Sanskrit, he could not get the slightest accurate information, so there were more or less doubts about it. When I heard Master Xuanzang talk about this, the translation work had already progressed three times out of ten. Looking at these diligent and dedicated young monks who were translating, they gradually felt a lot more relieved, so they also thanked them again and again in the process of greetings.
As the conversation deepened again, this Sharma told Master Xuanzang about the changes in the country of Gama Wibo over the years: "Since the last time I was in the royal city, although we only have two sides of the relationship, we miss it very much. In the past few years, King Kumora has not only achieved remarkable results in promoting Buddhism in the East Indies, but has also achieved great results. Today, we, the people of the East Indies, have not only been enlightened, but are also dedicated to goodness; And the number of criminals and bandits is more than half of what they were in previous years. Under the teachings of the mage, my king gradually ceased to fight for a long time, and the people also spent a leisurely time in this peaceful day, and the whole East Indies presented peace and happiness. In other words, it's all thanks to you, Mage. ”
It was only at this time that Master Xuanzang sketched in his mind the impression that he had met Sharma in the Five Indias: it was this person who stood next to King Kumora on the top of the Uncovered Assembly; On the other hand, during the farewell of the city of Qunu, he left India and returned to Middle-earth, where Sharma was also waiting at the side of King Kumora. In view of his flattering words just now, Xuanzang said to him quite kindly: "This is not only the result of your king's kindness, but also the gift of the Buddha, the little monk is just throwing bricks and attracting jade."
I heard that the kingdom of Kamobo under the rule of King Kumora has undergone such great changes. Wang Xuance couldn't help but think of the purpose of governing Huangshui and Li Shimin's governance of the country.
Only by putting the people first, so that the people are well fed and clothed, and then this good education can be promoted; The people naturally accepted it, and the country naturally settled down.
So he continued the words of the two and said: "Governing the country is important in governing the people, and it is also important in educating people's hearts, when the people understand the truth, the country will naturally be at peace, and the thieves and bandits will disappear." It seems that the king of your country has obtained the true meaning of governing the country, and it is really a blessing to the people, and it is very fortunate, very fortunate."
The two of them, when they heard the key words in this point, they would also smile and praise them again and again!
The three of them had a brief chatter and greetings in the parents, sometimes Wang Xuance nodded and praised, sometimes Master Xuanzang smiled slightly, and sometimes Sharma praised him with a smile.
As a result, the friendship between the three of them is not only one step closer to each other between tea tasting and chatting, but also has a good impression of each other.
Two days later, outside Chang'an City, next to Wuling Plain; A group of more than 40 people left the city of Chang'an with the sound of horses' hooves, not only with Li Shimin's rich rewards, but also with rare objects that had never been seen in the country of Jiamo with the sound of horses' hooves......
The editor said: The reason why the envoys of the Jiamo Wibo Kingdom and Zhenguan sent the envoy to the Tang Dynasty in the 21st year was precisely because of Master Xuanzang, which is clearly recorded in the historical materials.
