"Renliang, what is this master called?" Li Su saw that this monk was so special, so he asked curiously.

In fact, there is no need for Li Su to ask, Liu Renliang is already ready to introduce to Li Su, only to see him said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness, this master is called Xuanzang, originally a person from Luoyang, when he was in the Tang Dynasty, he was a very famous monk, and later went to Tianzhu thousands of miles away, and sought the true scriptures of Buddhism in Tianzhu for more than ten years. ”

"He is Tang Sanzang!" Li Su said to himself in surprise. When he first heard the name Xuanzang, he didn't react yet, but he felt very familiar, and then he suddenly thought, isn't Xuanzang Tang Seng, the bad guy in Journey to the West, but he also knows that a novel is a novel after all, and the real Tang Sanzang can reach Tianzhu alone, spirit and will are one thing, and the body must be very strong, and it will definitely not be like in the novel, which will be blown by the wind and disappear.

"Tang Sanzang?" Liu Renliang was stunned when he heard this name, but then he smiled and said, "Before Master Xuanzang left the Tang Dynasty, because he was proficient in the scriptures, laws, and treatises, he got the title of Master Sanzang at a young age, but I didn't expect His Highness to even know this." ”

Li Su was stunned when he heard it, he really didn't know how the title of Master Sanzang came about, but because he grew up watching Journey to the West, he knew several aliases of Tang Seng, and in his heart, Tang Seng was much more pleasing to the ear than Xuanzang, Sanzang and the like.

Li Su didn't expect to meet a historical celebrity here, so he stopped at the moment, and then carefully looked at this famous figure in Buddhist history. I saw that the other party was wearing a half-worn monk's robe, kneeling in front of the door of the fine house with an indifferent expression. The mouth is open and closed, but Li Su knows very little about Buddhist scriptures. I don't know what the other person is reciting.

"Renliang, isn't this Master Xuanzang in Tianzhu, how could he go to Ceylon Island and come here to chant sutras?" Li Su asked a little puzzled, it has been twenty-one years since Zhenguan, if Li Su is not mistaken, the other party in history should have returned to the Tang Dynasty from Tianzhu to learn scriptures, and was personally received by Li Shimin, but now this Master Xuanzang appeared in Ceylon. It seems that the trajectory of the other party's life must also be affected by himself.

Liu Renliang is a Ceylon assassin, usually busy with affairs, ordinary monks he must not have time to care, but Xuanzang's reputation in Tianzhu is very great, the king of the day even held a Buddhist identification conference for him in Qunu City, there are more than a dozen kings and 5,000 people who are profound in Buddhism participated, as a result, Xuanzang preached, no one could refute him, and he was famous for a while.

Such a famous man came to Ceylon. is also a Han person, so Liu Renliang is naturally very concerned, and he also specially met with Xuanzang before, and the two talked for a few days. He is also very clear about the reason why Xuanzang appeared in Ceylon. Therefore, after Liu Renliang heard Li Su's question, he told the reason why Xuanzang came to Buddha City.

It turned out that after this Xuanzang participated in the Dharma debate conference held for him by the King of the Ring Day, he became famous for a while. It is revered by Mahayana as "Mahayana Heaven" and by Hinayana as "Liberation Heaven". At this time, Xuanzang also felt that his Buddhism had reached a point, and it was time to return to Datang to preach Buddhism.

However, his plan to return to China was discouraged by the King of the Ring. Because the other party invited him to participate in the five-year uncovered conference, the so-called uncovered conference, refers to the Buddhist Lent held every five years to give alms to monks and laymen, when the monks from all over Tianzhu will gather together to debate, which lasts for 75 days, and during the period will also give money and food to the monks who participate in the conference, the poor and lonely, presided over by the king of the day himself, it can be said that it is a great event of Buddhism.

It was also this Buddhist event that allowed Xuanzang to stay in Tianzhu for a few more months, and it happened to be during this time that Li Zhen and Li Yun occupied Ceylon Island, and at the same time the news of landing in the south of Tianzhu reached North Tianzhu.

In this year, there is no telephone and Internet, and the news can only be passed on by word of mouth, and in the process of transmission, it is natural for the transmitter to add his own subjectivity and conjecture, plus Nantianzhu is constantly in turmoil, so when the news of Li Zhen and Li Yun's landing in Tianzhu reached the Jieri Dynasty, it has already evolved into countless versions, each version can become a story independently, but these versions have one thing in common, that is, this foreign force comes from the distant Tang Dynasty.

Originally, the news of Datang's invasion of Tianzhu did cause a sensation in Tianzhu, after all, they had all heard of Datang's strength, but the sensation was a sensation, and there were not many people who really attached importance to this news, because they all knew that Datang was too far away from them, and no matter how powerful Datang was, it was impossible to launch too many troops to Tianzhu, so most people didn't care too much, at most they sent a lot of people to the south to inquire about the news.

However, not everyone has not paid attention to it, such as Master Xuanzang from Datang, although he has not been back for more than ten years, but relying on his understanding of Datang's country, he feels sensitively that the Datang army that appeared in the south of Tianzhu is definitely not so simple.

Master Xuanzang, who had participated in the Wusha Conference, also persuaded the King of the Sun at this time that he was ready to go back, but the news of the invasion of the Tang army in the south of Tianzhu made him feel that he needed to go, and there was a Buddha tooth on Ceylon Island, so he could just go to pay a visit.

That's the case, Xuanzang did not return to the Tang Dynasty according to the historical time, but turned south to Ceylon, but when he arrived in Ceylon, the first thing he heard was how Li Zhen and Li Yun used the Buddha's tooth as a guide to annex the original Sinhalese Kingdom. As the so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, Li Zhen and Li Yun's strategy can be said to be a wonderful strategy in the eyes of the art of war, even Master Xuanzang thinks their strategy is very good, but the mistake is that as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, they actually use the Buddha's relics as a guide to achieve their own goals, which is really disrespectful to the Buddha.

It is also Xuanzang's idea, so the first thing he did when he came to Ceylon was to personally come to the Buddha's Tooth House to worship, and made a grand wish to chant outside the temple for one hundred and eight days, so as to resolve Li Zhen and Li Yun's disrespect for the Buddha last time, and now it has been three months, whether it is strong wind or heavy rain, Xuanzang will come to the temple at a fixed time to chant. And his fame has already spread to the island of Ceylon, so the local monks in the Buddha City also respect him very much, and Xuanzang can be within ten steps of the retreat, but he appears to be respectful to the Buddha, and every time he stops more than a dozen steps away.

After listening to Liu Renliang's explanation, Li Su couldn't help but look at Xuanzang not far away with some surprise. As a later generation, Li Su, who has been educated in materialism since childhood, naturally has no faith, so it is difficult for him to understand Xuanzang's devotion to the Buddha, but for Xuanzang's great perseverance, it is indeed admirable.

"Your Highness, Master Xuanzang takes two hours every time he recites the scriptures, shall we find a place to rest first?" Liu Renliang saw that Li Su seemed to be very interested in Xuanzang, so he opened his mouth to propose.

"No, I'm just here waiting for him to finish reciting!" Li Su said indifferently, Xuanzang is a very legendary person, if he didn't meet him, it would be fine, but now that he can meet here in Buddha City, he can be regarded as having a fate with him, so Li Su really wants to talk to the other party.

Xuanzang has been chanting outside the Buddha's tooth house for three months, so the news has already spread all over the Buddha City, and many people have respect for this famous Buddhist master, so not long after Xuanzang knelt down, soon a group of people spontaneously knelt behind Xuanzang, and at the same time silently began to chant, these people have monks and ordinary people, Han and Sinhalese, they are all pious, silently chanting.

For two hours, that is, the four hours of the later life, Xuanzang knelt motionless in front of the door of the Jingshe, his voice was low and steady, as if there was no fluctuation from beginning to end. It's just that he is also an ordinary person, under the effect of the hot weather here in the Buddha City, Xuanzang's face and body were quickly wet with sweat, and some sweat dripped onto the ground, and then was quickly steamed dry, leaving pieces of sweat stains.

The people behind Xuanzang are also crumbling, many people have already finished chanting in advance, but they have supported their bodies with both hands and have not fallen, and the beads of sweat on their faces are constantly flowing, although some old and weak people have good perseverance, but they really don't have that physical strength, so from time to time someone will faint, but soon there will be monks guarding the monastery to send them down to rest.

Finally waited for Xuanzang to finish reciting the scriptures, he bowed to the Buddha's tooth retreat, and then slowly prepared to stand up, and everyone behind him was all relieved, but a few fainted, and the rest of the people stood up stiffly with Master Xuanzang.

Naturally, Li Yu would not worship with these people, but stood under a Bodhi tree next to him and waited very patiently. At this time, after Master Xuanzang stood up, he first recited the Buddha's name and saluted the people behind him, and then prepared to leave.

However, Li Su was waiting for this opportunity, only to see him lead someone to step forward to block Master Xuanzang's way, and then said with a smile: "Xinnan Yang Liu visited the master, I don't know if the master has time, Yang has something to ask for advice or two?" ”

Xuanzang was also a little surprised, he didn't expect to meet so many Han people here, but soon he saw Liu Renliang next to Li Su, which surprised him even more, although the other party was wearing civilian clothes, but he had talked with Liu Renliang for a few days before, so he naturally recognized the other party at a glance.

is just as Liu Renliang, but he is only accompanying this young man who calls himself Yang Liu, which shows that the identity of the other party is higher than Liu Renliang's, and this discovery finally made Xuanzang have a flash of inspiration, and there are already some vague guesses about Li Su's identity in his heart.
