Xuanzang vomited blood again when he saw Qianniang's tombstone, Li Xiu and Sun Simiao wanted to take him back to recuperate, but Xuanzang desperately refused, but instead sat in front of Qianniang's tomb and refused to leave, which made Li Xiu and Sun Simiao have no choice, it was best to have Sun Simiao prescribe medicine to Xuanzang, boil it and bring it for him to take.

And what is even more unexpected is that Xuanzang sat in front of Qianniang's tomb for three days and three nights, during which in addition to taking medicine, almost no water and rice were eaten, and finally fainted to the ground because of physical exhaustion, which was carried back by Li Xiu, but Xuanzang launched a high fever in a coma and did not wake up for several days.

"Sir, is that person in the room the one my sister has been thinking about at the beginning?" Outside Xuanzang's ward, Wang Fangyi, who rushed back from the military academy, looked at Xuanzang's room with a solemn face and asked, someone sat in front of his sister's tomb for three days and three nights, and naturally he quickly knew about it, but when he knew that this person was brought by Li Xiu, he came to see Li Xiu.

"Yes, but when did you find out about it?" Li Xiu nodded at this time, and then looked at Wang Fangyi with some curiosity and asked, when Qianniang died, Wang Fangyi was still an ignorant child, and the affairs of Qianniang and Xuanzang were very secretive, and even Wang Fangyi's parents didn't know at that time.

"How did Sir forget, the maid Fuqin next to my sister at the beginning, later became my personal maid, and now she has become my concubine, once I found some letters from her, and then I understood the reason for my sister's death." Wang Fangyi said indifferently at this time, he is already nineteen years old this year, he has already become an adult, and he will graduate from the military academy next year, and he will be able to directly support the Wang family's door at that time.

"Fuqin?" Hearing Wang Fangyi mention this name, which was already a little distant, Li Xiu remembered the little maid who often came to his house to inquire about Xuanzang's news, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "I see, is she okay with Fuqin, has she given birth?" ”

Aristocratic men generally have personal maids, and when the men reach adulthood, most of these maids will become their concubines, after all, these women have grown up with them and know their habits very well, so it is very normal for people like Wang Fangyi and Fuqin to be in this situation.

"Fuqin is very good, and she has given birth to a son and a daughter for me." Wang Fangyi first answered Li Xiu's words, but then he turned his head to look at Xuanzang's room, his eyes became very complicated, and after a long while, he spoke again, "Sir, can I meet this Xuanzang?" ”

"Yes, you can go to see him when he wakes up, but he is also an infatuated lover, even if more than ten years have passed, when he learned the news that your sister has died, he still vomited blood twice because of sadness, and then sat in front of your sister's grave for three days, I hope you can see his friendship and don't embarrass him too much." Li Xiu sighed at this time and agreed, he couldn't refuse Wang Fangyi's request to see Xuanzang.

"Don't worry, sir, I won't worry too much about a patient!" Wang Fangyi immediately spoke.

Li Xiu also knew that Wang Fangyi was very mature and steady, and he shouldn't do anything too out of the ordinary, so he didn't say anything more, but began to worry about Xuanzang's illness, after all, Xuanzang's illness this time was not light.

Fortunately, Xuanzang was able to come back from the road of learning scriptures in nine deaths, and his body was far stronger than ordinary people, after a few days of coma, he finally woke up, but his body was still very weak, in order to facilitate taking care of him, Sun Simiao let him live in his own medicine concept, so that it was convenient to treat him.

And after Xuanzang woke up, Wang Fangyi also came to see Xuanzang alone, no one knew what they said, but since then, Xuanzang has never been to Qianniang's cemetery, but this is not surprising, after all, a monk goes to the grave of a woman who died early, even if the woman dies, it will cause great trouble to her reputation and family.

A few months later, Xuanzang's body finally recovered almost, Li Xiu personally made a few vegetarian dishes, and then came to Sun Simiao's medicine temple to visit, and the three of them set up a table in the back mountain of the medicine temple to eat and chat.

"Xuanzang, what are your plans for the future?" Li Xiu inquired about Xuanzang at this time, he had learned the scriptures and came back, originally in the original history, Li Shimin had summoned him when he heard about Xuanzang, and even attached great importance to Xuanzang, hoping that he could return to the vulgar as an official, Xuanzang did not agree, and as a result, Li Shimin stayed in Chang'an and was not allowed to leave.

However, the current situation has changed a lot, because the imperial court has controlled Buddhism and Taoism, and it is impossible for Li Shimin to summon Xuanzang again, otherwise it will only enhance the influence of Buddhism, so Xuanzang should be free now.

"I'm going back to Luozhou, which is my hometown, and this time I brought many Buddhist scriptures, but these Buddhist scriptures are written in Sanskrit, so I plan to find a temple in my hometown, and then translate the Buddhist scriptures with peace of mind." Xuanzang replied at this time, this is also what he had planned on the road.

"That's fine, you can translate the Buddhist scriptures you brought, and you can also make your Buddhism have more classics, now although the imperial court suppresses Buddhism and Taoism, but it is only suppressed on secular forces, as long as we don't touch this bottom line of the imperial court, the imperial court will not care about us!" Sun Simiao also smiled at this time and said, after all these years of suppression, they, the people of Buddhism and Taoism, have also understood the intentions and bottom line of the imperial court, and now he is also teaching experience to Xuanzang.

"Sun Daochang is right, the imperial power does not tolerate any threat, even if you have no ambition, but as long as you have the strength to threaten the imperial power, you will be hit by the imperial court, which Buddhism and Taoism have not done well before, as long as you only focus on educating the people to be good, instead of accumulating wealth and land as before, then the imperial court will not only not suppress you, but will support you." Li Xiu smiled lightly at this time and said, with the situation of the Tang Dynasty, religion is absolutely not allowed to override the imperial power.

"I have also seen many countries along the way, and found that many of these countries are kings and not the most powerful people in the kingdom, but the real rulers are those who hold the religious sacrifices, whether it is Buddhism or other religions, as long as they are touched with power, they will become very cruel, completely contrary to the original intention of religion, and now this situation like our Datang is not bad." Xuanzang also nodded when he heard this, although Li Xiu's words were a little sharp, but they were true, as long as they were in Datang, they must abide by the rules of Datang.

Maybe he felt that the topic was a little heavy now, Li Xiu immediately asked about Xuanzang's situation in Tianzhu over the years, as well as what he had seen and heard on the road, Xuanzang was also very interested in this, and began to talk about what he had seen and heard along the way from sneaking out of Yumen Pass, but his experience in the past ten years was not something that could be finished in a while, and when it was almost dark, Xuanzang could not talk about his arrival in Tianzhu.

However, Li Xiu was not in a hurry, and then he went to Xuanzang almost every day, first, to listen to him talk about what he had seen on the road, and secondly, to accompany Xuanzang to chat more, lest he think of Qianniang's affairs again, but according to Sun Simiao, Xuanzang occasionally looked at the direction of Qianniang's cemetery in a daze, it seems that even if he retrieved the true scriptures and sharpened his heart to seek Buddha, but if he wants to pass this level, he doesn't know how much time it will take?

Early this morning, Li Xiu originally wanted to listen to Xuanzang's story, but yesterday he had suggested that Xuanzang write down what he saw and heard along the way, and Xuanzang also felt that it was feasible, and it was estimated that in a few years, the famous "Tang Dynasty Western Regions" would be published.

However, just as Li Xiu was about to leave, he didn't expect the envoys in the palace to come, and Li Shimin wanted to summon him to the palace for deliberations, which made Li Xiu stunned, and then he had to give up his plan to go to Yaoguan and take a carriage to Taiji Palace.

"Li Xiu, I heard that Xuanzang, who had begged me to go to Tianzhu to learn scriptures, came back from Tianzhu to learn scriptures?" In the Liangyi Palace, when Li Shimin saw Li Xiu coming in, he couldn't help but smile.

Hearing Li Shimin actually ask about Xuanzang, this made Li Xiu a little surprised, but then he also replied: "Your Majesty, Xuanzang has indeed come back from Tianzhu to learn scriptures, and he has been living in Sun Daochang's medicine during this time. ”

"A monk actually traveled thousands of miles to reach Tianzhu, there were robbers and bandits everywhere along the way, and the environment was also very bad, I really wonder how he survived?" Li Shimin also put down the pen in his hand at this time and smiled again.

Although there are not many people who know about Xuanzang's return, some people in Buddhism still noticed it, and even during this time, there have been people from Buddhism who have been in contact with Xuanzang, and the Monk Daolu Division has been paying attention to the situation of Buddhism and Taoism, so he reported this matter to Li Shimin, originally Li Shimin forgot Xuanzang, and then remembered that Xuanzang had begged him to go to Tianzhu to learn scriptures, but he was refused, but he didn't expect him to sneak out of Yumen Pass, and he came back alive.

"Xuanzang is the old friend of the minister, he is a person with great perseverance, he was determined to go to Tianzhu to learn scriptures, in order to improve the Dharma, this time I came back and did bring back a lot of Buddhist scriptures, I have been listening to him talk about what he saw and heard on the road in the past few days, but I have a little more understanding of the situation in the Western Regions, as for him to come back, in addition to his perseverance, luck also accounts for a lot of reasons." Li Xiu also smiled at this time.

"It's very rare for someone with such perseverance to come, but it's a pity that it's inconvenient for me to summon him now, so you can greet him on my behalf!" Li Shimin also praised at this time, he also admired people with perseverance, but it was a pity that the other party was a monk, if it was an ordinary person, he would definitely reward the other party with an official position, thinking that he would use it for himself.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Xiu also thanked him on behalf of Xuanzang, but at this time, he saw Li Shimin hesitate for a moment, and then spoke again: "I summoned you today because I have something to discuss with you about the pheasant slave!" ”
