Chapter 490: The Duke of Bull Riding

Tang Xuanzang was wearing a Guanyin hat, wearing a purple robe, holding a bhikshu staff, a white dragon horse under his crotch, and reciting Amitabha Buddha in his mouth, he was smiling and nodding to the believers, and suddenly heard Wang Ping'an shouting behind him, and he turned his head.

Tang Xuanzang asked, "Senior brother, what did you say?" Since two days ago, he has been intimate with Wang Ping'an's senior brother and brother, and Wang Ping'an has also been Xu Jingzong and Wang Wendu's uncle naturally.

Wang Ping'an clasped his palms together and recited Amitabha Buddha first, and then said: "Senior brother, you have brought back so many Buddhist scriptures, but these Buddhist scriptures are written in Sanskrit, and they cannot be popularized, so that more people can understand my Buddha's compassion, so do you want to find a temple to translate these Buddhist scriptures, and it is good to purify the world!" ”

Tang Xuanzang sighed, he really thought about this problem, but he didn't have a specific idea of which temple to go to, after all, he ran out secretly when he went out, which can be understood as smuggling, and when he came back, he was arrested by Qu Zhimao, he didn't even think much about returning to Chang'an alive, he just wanted to complete his ambition to learn from the scriptures. Now everything is different, the people of Chang'an welcome him so much, so which temple he goes to translate Buddhist scriptures must be on the agenda!

Before Tang Xuanzang could answer, he was hesitating, but the group of hosts shouted: "Master Xuanzang, go to the temple of the little monk, and the little monk will worship you!" ”

"Amitabha, good, good!" Suddenly, two monks chanted the Buddha's name in unison. It's no one else, one is Huizheng, and the other is in trouble.

The two of them traveled thousands of miles to save Tang Xuanzang, who can compare to this kindness? No host can compare! Of course, they also want Tang Xuanzang to go to the Inspiration Temple to translate the Buddhist scriptures, the Inspiration Temple has declined to the point where only the two monks remain, if Tang Xuanzang can go to the Inspiration Temple, the incense of the temple will flourish again!

Having a difficult temperament, he shouted: "Master Xuanzang, the place in my Inspiration Temple is spacious, you can go to us, let my uncle build you a wild goose pagoda, my uncle has money, and he doesn't feel distressed to spend it casually!" ”

The other hosts immediately widened their eyes, are you too rich to be a master? What the hell is your grandfather! What is it to have money, who of us here has no money? Even if we don't have money, look at these good men and women, as long as they shout, hundreds of thousands of dollars will not be donated, and money is not a problem at all!

The hosts scolded one after another, warning that there was difficulty, and when the old monk spoke, the little monk was not allowed to interject and play!

The white dragon horse marched slowly, and under the attention of everyone, Tang Xuanzang was slightly undecided. He didn't know much about the situation of the Inspiration Temple, after all, he had been away from Chang'an for many years, but when he left, he knew that the Inspiration Temple had been broken, and any other temple was stronger than it.

If he wants to calm down and translate the Buddhist scriptures well, then he must choose a temple with better conditions, and someone must help him, not just him translate alone, someone must copy the scriptures, bind them into a book, and there must be a lot of things to be busy, which the Temple of Inspiration cannot provide. But Hui Zhenghe is in trouble to save him, but this kindness is to be repaid, translating Buddhist scriptures and repaying kindness, which of these two things should be chosen?

Tang Xuanzang hesitated, the words of the hosts came, originally everyone was quite united, senior brothers, senior uncles and nephews called affectionately, but now when it comes to practical problems, there is a tendency to turn around, not only boasting about their own temples, but also saying that other people's temples are not good. There were even people who promised on the spot that they must build the largest wild goose pagoda in the world for Tang Xuanzang!

Huizheng and Tang Xuanzang have been getting along for a long time, and they have long discovered Tang Xuanzang's personality characteristics, that is, he is very persistent and has a very correct idea, before deciding on one thing, he may hesitate and think a lot, but as long as he makes up his mind, he will not change it anyway, so now that he has talked about this, he must let Tang Xuanzang decide which temple to go to now, otherwise time drags on, and if something happens, there will be no way to remedy it!

There is no point in fighting with these hosts, and he has no ability to win, but he knows that there is one person who must win, and that is Wang Ping'an, instead of begging Tang Xuanzang, it is better to ask Wang Ping'an.

Hui Zheng grabbed the horse, took a few steps back, and retreated to Wang Ping'an's float, he said: "Uncle Shi, you speak quickly, let Master Xuanzang go to our Inspiration Temple!" ”

Wang Ping'an smiled and thought: "Our Inspiration Temple, that's right, isn't that Inspiration Temple ours!" He nodded and said, "It's easy, you step aside!" ”

Wang Ping'an said loudly to Tang Xuanzang: "Senior brother, didn't you say that I should build a temple, let the Buddha's light shine on the desolate place of Zheliu, have you forgotten this?" ”

Tang Xuanzang raised his head and said, "How could you forget this, junior brother, you agreed?" ”

Wang Ping'an said: "I agreed, not only that, but I also want to renovate the temple of inspiration, which has been forgotten by the people, and build a wild goose pagoda in the temple. With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as an example, if you go up, you will follow the example, so shouldn't the number of people who believe in Buddhism in the world increase exponentially? Doesn't Senior Brother want to magnify the Dharma? ”

More than ten years ago, when Tang Xuanzang went out of Guanxi, he did not get the support of the Tang Dynasty. is not like what was written in the later "Journey to the West", Li Shimin personally sent Tang Xuanzang to the west, and he also worshiped him as a brother. In fact, Tang Xuanzang is not the royal brother of the Tang Dynasty at all, and he has never been officially recognized by the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Tang Xuanzang most wants to be recognized by the Tang Dynasty, which can not only correct his own name, but also promote Buddhism!

As soon as Wang Ping'an's proposal was spoken, Tang Xuanzang did not hesitate, nodded immediately, recited Amitabha, and said loudly: "According to what the senior brother said, the poor monk is willing to go to the Inspiration Temple to practice." ”

The presiding officer of each temple is in a hurry, don't worry, what is there to go to the Inspiration Temple, if you want to say that the prince is invited to participate in Zen, which temple is not good, why does it have to be the Inspiration Temple?

Huizheng smiled, gave a deep salute to Wang Ping'an, and thought: "Uncle is still powerful, as long as Master Xuanzang nods, then it will be difficult for others to say anything, it is impossible for him to change his mind!" ”

Wang Ping'an raised his arms on the float and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, Master Xuanzang is going to the Inspiration Temple to practice, let's go together!" It's just that the place of the Inspiration Temple is simple, it is an empty temple, and I also ask the villagers to give some money and goods for the needs of rebuilding the temple! ”

The hosts listened to Wang Ping'an so unpolitely, opened his mouth to ask for money, and all grinned, this prince is really a rake for money, rebuild the Temple of Inspiration, and build a wild goose pagoda, he doesn't need a penny, maybe he can make a lot of money, it's really a good business!

To welcome Tang Xuanzang back to Beijing, there are not a few good men and women, although a considerable part of them are just here to join in the fun, but there are still many people who will donate money, listening to Wang Ping'an say this, the people shouted in unison, and unanimously said that it is no problem to ask for money, and the sesame oil money should be given, how can they be small!

The team continued to move forward and separated in Guangfufang, Huizheng led Tang Xuanzang and the hosts of various temples, as well as countless good men and women, to the east to the Inspiration Temple, while Wang Ping'an and Fang Xuanling and others went straight to the front, rushed to the palace, and handed over the decree to report on their work.

Not to mention the liveliness of the Inspiration Temple, only to say the Chengtian Gate, there are also thousands of people here, who come here to see Wang Ping'an's "beautiful face". Wang Ping'an subdued hundreds of thousands of Turks with his own strength, such military exploits, in more than ten years, is the first one, they naturally want to come and see, although Wang Ping'an is like, they have long known, but ...... Such a handsome young man, I can't get enough of it!

Fang Xuanling got out of the carriage and rode in front, but he had a wrinkled face and a long beard, so he didn't have anything to look at, everyone just wanted to see Wang Ping'an. Wang Ping'an got off the float early at this time, and his white dragon horse was ridden away by Tang Xuanzang, but this is nothing, he didn't ride a horse, he rode a bull instead.

The people came to see him, in order not to disappoint everyone, he specially unloaded a big white ox pulling a float, rode on the back of the white ox, followed Fang Xuanling, and walked towards Chengtianmen.

Moo, with a huge roar of a white bull, Wang Ping'an was draped all over his body, his armor was shining, and he was holding a Mo knife, appearing in front of the square in front of Chengtian Gate!

All of a sudden, the people screamed as if they had exploded, and rushed forward, wanting to see Wang Ping'an's demeanor!

"Prince, so majestic!" Some of the people shouted.

Some people shouted: "Riding a bull to step on the Turks, raise the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, the prince is so imposing!" ”

"It's better to ride a bull, it's safer than riding a horse!" Many people laughed and shouted!

The guards in front of him made way of a passage, Wang Ping'an clamped the belly of the cow, and the white ox ran up on the ground, which was really extraordinary, more majestic than riding a horse, and compared Fang Xuanling next to him.

Although Xu Jingzong and Wang Wendu were Tang Xuanzang's newly accepted apprentices, they did not follow them to the Inspiration Temple, and they had to meet the emperor first. The two of them were behind, watching Wang Ping'an riding a bull and running, they felt jealous in their hearts, and they all silently recited in their hearts: "Look at him, why don't you fall off the back of the cow, the cow loses its front hooves, the cow loses its front hooves!" ”

When the people saw the king's peace and majesty, they all praised him. Look, this is called majestic, bullish, different, others riding horses, that is not unusual, but look at the princes, people ride bulls, and ride very fast, running and swishing!

On the Chengtian Gate, Li Shimin and Li Zhi, as well as a group of ministers, had already arrived, they looked down, and saw that Wang Ping'an was so mighty and majestic, and everyone sneered. Good guy, this kid is quite able to perform, he can be recorded in the history books with such a performance, Chengtianmen rode a bull and boasted of martial arts, the first time the Tang Dynasty was founded, I can't do it if I don't want to leave a name in the history books!

The monarchs and ministers of Chengtianmen thought so, but the people were only excited, this excitement was really beautiful.

There was a father in the crowd, holding the child on his shoulder, while the mother said beside him: "Son, look at it, that person is Wang Ping'an, is he majestic?" This is called bullishness, and when you grow up, you will want to be a person like him! ”

The child said, "Is Wang Ping'an herding cattle?" ”
