Chapter 727: The Return of the Land (6)

The presiding master of Jingjue Monastery brought Venerable Sanzang to his meditation room. I saw several tall people standing at the door of the meditation room, and there seemed to be a trace of murderous aura on their bodies. When Venerable Sanzang saw the person standing at the door, he seemed to have a premonition in his heart that someone would see him. The presiding officer of Jingjue Temple first respectfully said to the leader at the door:

"Please tell you! The poor monk brought Master Sanzang to meet him. The leader nodded. Said to the inside:

"The hosts! Master Sanzang is here. A voice came from inside the meditation room.

"Please come in!" Hearing this voice, Master Sanzang knew who it was. When Venerable Sanzang walked into the meditation room, he saw a burly man admiring the calligraphy and paintings on the wall. The door closed suddenly. Master Sanzang suddenly knelt down.

"Poor monk Sanzang, see Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

"Hahahaha! I heard that there was a Sanzang Master who came back from Tianzhu to take scriptures from Tianjue Temple, and the Dharma is boundless. Therefore, I came to visit me today, but I didn't expect it to be my old friend. Master Xuanzang! You and I are old friends! Why so much courtesy? Hurry up, please! When Master Sanzang heard Li Jiancheng call himself Xuanzang, he felt a little worried in his heart. Li Jiancheng helped Master Xuanzang up.

"Master Xuanzang, please sit over there!" Li Jiancheng invited Master Xuanzang to a table. Tea and fruit were already on the table. Li Jiancheng and Master Xuanzang sat opposite each other, Li Jiancheng personally poured a cup of tea for Master Xuanzang, and Master Xuanzang said that the Buddha was thankful, but he was even more sure in his heart - Li Jiancheng must have some intentions.

"Master Xuanzang, I'm a little strange, the original master was clearly called Xuanzang, how did he become Sanzang!?"

"Ahh Your Majesty! After the poor monk arrived in Tianzhu, he learned from Sanskrit that it contains all-encompassing and all-encompassing meaning. It is divided into three categories, first, Su Tan Cable Collection, which is translated as Sutra Tibet, which refers to the teachings of Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism. 2. Vi Kill Yazang, which is translated as Vinaya, refers to the precepts of Buddhism. 3. Abhidharma Tibet, which is translated as "Treatise on Tibet", refers to the expositions and commentaries of Shakyamuni's disciples on Buddhist teachings. And because of "Tibet", it is divided into scriptures, laws, and treatises. The poor monk was gifted and intelligent, and was given the name of Sanzang by his mentor. Therefore, the name of the law was changed to Sanzang. Master Xuanzang said with an excited expression on his face. Li Jiancheng immediately turned to the topic.

"Master Xuanzang, do you remember what I asked you when I left the customs? The master hasn't forgotten, right!? The question that Master Xuanzang has been avoiding has been turned out by Li Jiancheng - Li Jiancheng hopes that Master Xuanzang will record the itinerary and route of the way to Tianzhu, as well as the cultural customs. At that time, Master Xuanzang was bent on learning scriptures and seeking the Dharma from the west, and he didn't think much about it, but when Master Xuanzang came all the way, especially after encountering the courtesy of Ju Wentai, the lord of Gaochang Kingdom, he began to resist his mission, because Master Xuanzang understood Li Jiancheng's ambition, once the route was drawn, Li Jiancheng would definitely be used for military intentions, and when the time came, the countries of the Western Regions would definitely bleed into the Tianzhu area. After arriving in Tianzhu, Xuanzang achieved the achievements that the local monks in Tianzhu did not achieve, and he hoped to only serve Sakyamuni in this life, and after returning to Middle Earth, he hoped to translate Buddhist scriptures, which is also the reason why Master Xuanzang changed his name to Sanzang and hoped not to meet Li Jiancheng. However, Master Xuanzang is afraid of something! Li Jiancheng has returned to the topic. Master Xuanzang got up from his chair and lay on the ground.

"Ahh Your Majesty! Our Buddhists have clouds, and we have always been compassionate, please don't ...... Your Majesty Don't be embarrassed for the poor monk, the poor monk just wants to be an ordinary monk. Let the poor monk finish translating the scriptures brought back from Tianzhu with peace of mind! Please, Your Majesty! Li Jiancheng saw Master Xuanzang like this. I was disappointed in Master Xuanzang, because according to records, when Li Shimin met Xuanzang, Xuanzang was so high-spirited that he even made Li Shimin fall for it, and consciously asked Master Xuanzang to enter the court as an official, but looking at Master Xuanzang today, Li Jiancheng felt that Master Xuanzang was no longer the monk who made Li Shimin fall in the original history. However, if you want Li Jiancheng to die, this is absolutely impossible. Li Jiancheng lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

"Master Sanzang, I heard that you are proficient in Buddhism and are also familiar with the scriptures and history, so I have some questions to ask the master."

"Ahh Your Majesty, please speak! Master Xuanzang thought that Li Jiancheng had relented, and his heart felt a little relaxed. However, Li Jiancheng's words made Master Xuanzang completely fall into the ice cave.

"Master Xuanzang, Buddhism from the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Ming dreamed of Jin people and entered the Central Plains, in addition, Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty drowned Buddha, making Buddhism in the Southern Dynasty prosperous!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, my Buddhism has the protection of this holy master, which makes my Buddhist family prosperous!"

"Oh! Is it! Then, when Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Wu destroyed the Buddha, but there was no one in the Buddha Temple in the North! As soon as Master Xuanzang heard Li Jiancheng's words, his heart immediately became nervous - does His Majesty want to destroy the Buddha again, if His Majesty comes to destroy the Buddha again, then the poor monk is not a sinner of the Buddhist family.

"Your Majesty, Buddhism is not guilty!" Li Jiancheng ignored Master Xuanzang:

"Hey! Oh, yes! Buddhism is not guilty, but I seem to have heard the story of an ancient Tianzhu kingdom - a monk who disobeyed the orders of Ashoka, and Ashoka punished the bhikshus. I don't know the master, is this story true? Li Jiancheng squinted at Master Xuanzang, and Master Xuanzang trembled.

"Your Majesty, the Buddha family is not guilty!"

"Master, I am the Son of Heaven, what is the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, except for the Mandate of Heaven, any god must stand aside with me! My will cannot be violated! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty, the poor monks are willing to be left and right for Your Majesty! Li Jiancheng looked at Master Xuanzang, and remembered a paragraph in later generations - Buddhism pays attention to escaping the world, once the troubled times, the Buddhists immediately close the mountain gate, but the Taoists open the mountain gate to save the world, but for the royal authority, the Buddhists are the most subservient.

A few days later, a rumor spread throughout Chang'an City - Master Sanzang, who had returned from Tianzhu, saw that the countries of the Western Regions were killing at will, and evil gods were rampant everywhere! Unable to bear the suffering of the evil cults and demons of the ordinary Li people, he decided to travel to the Western Regions again to pray for the blessings of the people of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions. The entire Chang'an Cheng heard this rumor, and many people went to the Jingjue Temple to visit and inquire about the news. After hearing the accurate news from the monks of Jingjue Temple, the entire Chang'an City was a sensation, and after Li Jiancheng heard about it, the emperor was very relieved, and sent people to send a decree to canonize the Sanzang Master as the Master of Immeasurable Merit in the West, and the same national teacher, and bestowed the emperor's imperial gift; He also issued an order to order the Mobei Left-behind Mansion to build a temple for the westward immeasurable merit master in Kulun as a place for the mage's majesty. After Master Sanzang received Li Jiancheng's holy decree, he entered the palace to thank him, and Li Jiancheng was overjoyed to see Master Sanzang. Immediately ordered the queen Zheng Wanzhen to lead the concubines of the harem - Yang Yan, Wu Meiniang, Xu Huier, Jin, Ashina, etc. There are also many princes and princesses who came out together to greet Master Sanzang in front of the gate of Taiji Palace.

"Zheng Wanzhen, the queen of the Tang Dynasty in this palace, follows the will of the Tang Emperor, and leads many concubines, princesses, and princesses to welcome the national teacher here, Master Sanzang!" Many princes and princesses, under the leadership of King Zhao and Li Chengdao, knelt down and kowtowed to Master Sanzang.

"Welcome to the national teacher." Master Sanzang saw so many concubines, princes and princesses greeting him. There was a shy expression on his face.

"Queen Mother! Your Royal Highness is the body of a dragon and a phoenix, and your body is delicate, please let the queen mother and all the mothers let your highnesses get up, your highnesses, please get up quickly! This! It's not appropriate, isn't it? Empress Zheng Wanzhen said to Master Sanzang:

"Master, you are now a national teacher, even the emperor should bow down to you, but the emperor is afraid of the admonition of hundreds of officials, saying that His Majesty imitated Emperor Liang Wu's drowning in the Buddha, causing the people to suffer and the court to be in turmoil, so he asked the princes and princesses to salute the national teacher instead of His Majesty." Zheng Wanzhen put her hands on the monk and made a Buddhist salute to Master Sanzang. Welcomed Master Sanzang into the Taiji Palace. arrived at Li Jiancheng's dormitory. Li Jiancheng warmly took Master Sanzang's hand and greeted him warmly:

"Master Sanzang, I've been waiting for Master for a long time!"

"Your Majesty, poor monks see Your Majesty!"

"Master, I am very relieved to hear about the master's feat, but the national patriarchal law is still higher than the Buddha's law, so I can't greet the master in person."

"Where is Your Majesty, it is the duty of a poor monk to be favored by Your Majesty." Looking at Master Sanzang's demeanor, Li Jiancheng's letter returned to Jingjue Temple, back to the time when he was with Master Sanzang in Jingjue Temple:

"Your Majesty, the Buddha family is not guilty!"

"Master, I am the Son of Heaven, what is the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, except for the Mandate of Heaven, any god must stand aside with me! My will cannot be violated! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty, the poor monks are willing to be left and right for Your Majesty! ”

"Hahaha! Good! Master, please get up! Since the master is so cheerful, I am not a heartless person. Master, I want to ask you, does the master think that this Buddhist family should always stay in this Central Plains? In addition, Buddhism pays attention to saving the world, and I have heard that cults are rampant in Mobei and Liaodong, so I hope that the master can shoulder this heavy responsibility and save the people of all ethnic groups from danger. Li Jiancheng's words made Master Sanzang very much agreed. It also reminded me of a seedling that had grown up in my heart. At the beginning, when Master Sanzang was still Master Xuanzang, he found that many places were shamanic, and the major tribes did not have their own unique beliefs. In the eyes of Master Xuanzang, these people are barbaric and rude, and their magic weapons are very bloody, so that Master Xuanzang is very disgusted in his heart, at that time, Master Xuanzang had the idea of hoping to improve the grassland religion, but this idea was just a seed at that time, when in Gaochang, Ju Wentai hoped that Master Xuanzang would stay and pass on the Dharma, Master Xuanzang felt that his practice was not high, but this seed began to sprout, and now, Master Xuanzang has become Master Sanzang, and has a strong confidence in his own Buddhism, I also hope that the scriptures I have translated can be carried forward. Li Jiancheng's words provided nutrients for this seedling. Let the seedlings of this lesson grow upwards for a while. Of course, Li Jiancheng also knows the truth of slapping and sending a sweet date, no, after Li Jiancheng came out of Jingjue Temple, he secretly ordered the Qilin secret guard to go out of the customs for Master Sanzang and build momentum in the Bufa grassland.
