Chapter 48 Xuanzang learns scriptures from the West
The sun in Chang'an is hanging high, the spring breeze is warm, and the ninety-nine cold picture on Chang'an Street has been hung all over the people next to the street.
A plum blossom, the nine-petal petals of each plum blossom are bright and seem to be delicate, nine plums, nine-petal flowers, color a petal every day, and now most people's eighty-one petals of ink plum have been dyed with pink makeup, just waiting to welcome spring.
There is no heavy snow in Chang'an this year, so it is particularly warm when welcoming spring.
Chang'an, Liangyi Palace.
Li Er sat high on the throne and looked up to the full hall of monks.
"Which one is Master Xuanzang?" Li Ergao sat on the Diaoyutai and said indifferently.
"I've seen Your Majesty, the poor monk is Xuanzang." At this time, I saw a young and handsome monk, holding a Zen staff and wearing a robe, standing out of the crowd, full of dust, but at this time he was still a little young, his face was slightly red, and he seemed to be a little excited.
"Xuanzang, do you know that when the Tang Dynasty was first established, the border has always been strict, and no one is allowed to leave the country, why do you dare to threaten to seek Buddhism overseas?" Li Er didn't give the Buddhists a good face when he came up, after all, his ancestors were Taoists, so he took the opportunity to make things difficult for these monks.
When Tang Xuanzang heard this, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but he was worthy of being a famous monk, Xuanzang did not have the slightest anger, but said lightly: "Your Majesty, my Tang Dynasty is a first-class big country in the world, but I don't even have a complete Buddha body, presumably those overseas barbarians who came from afar cannot be educated, so the poor monk wants to bring back the Mahayana Buddhism and improve my Datang Buddhism with his own strength, so as to pass on the Tang Dynasty forever." ”
I have to say that what Tang Xuanzang said was impeccable,-for-tat and invisible.
Li Er stared at the monk in the audience with blazing eyes, only to see Tang Xuanzang unmoved, still looking ahead, looking like a senior monk.
"If you don't go to Tianzhu, I would like to reward you for building a pagoda in Chang'an, which can ensure that your Buddhist family has a long history." Li Er said seductively.
"Your Majesty, if the poor monk can't get the Buddhist scriptures, he will not return." Tang Xuanzang said lightly, but there was a deep determination in his tone.
Li Er looked at him again, and then smiled: "Okay!" What a Tang Xuanzang! I am optimistic about you, I will give you a hundred guards, a hundred horses, and go west with you, but~" Li Er's tone changed, "I ask you to record everything you see on the way to the west, so that I can learn about overseas affairs in the Tang Dynasty." ”
Tang Xuanzang obviously became a little excited, his face flushed, and his voice was loud: "Poor monk Xie Xià!" ”
Recently, another explosive news came out from Chang'an, also from the "Datang News", Tang Xuanzang was ready to go to Tianzhu alone to learn the scriptures, and he was walking outside from Zhuque Street in Chang'an.
This is a big news in Chang'an, where there are not many new things, and countless market vendors are looking forward to the day when the holy monk travels, and when the time comes, they can go to see it twice, and when they return to their hometown, they can also boast to their relatives at home for half a year.
In the second year of Zhenguan, April 19.
It happened a whole year earlier than the original history, and Tang Xuanzang learned scriptures from the west.
If Xu Yang was here, he would definitely be surprised, he didn't catch up with the live broadcast of Nima's most popular summer vacation "Journey to the West".
In fact, Tang Xuanzang should be grateful to Xu Yang, his pair of small wings are changing the Tang Dynasty from all aspects, and what made Tang Seng make up his mind to go to the West to learn scriptures was the agitation news he saw from the "Datang News".
If according to the normal historical development, Tang Xuanzang at this time should still study the Buddhist scriptures in the Great Ci'en Temple, and will not lament that there are too many omissions in the Theravada Buddhism in the Buddhist scriptures until next year, so he will smuggle out of the Tang Dynasty and quietly go to the west to learn the scriptures.
And what stumbles were encountered along the way, he was caught by Li Chang, he was almost killed by Shi Pantuo, he lost his way in the desert, and the country of Qiuzi was assassinated, etc., all of which relied on luck and his mind to the world, and his understanding and goal beyond each time to turn the danger into a disaster, and finally return to Datang along the way.
And now, everything has changed dramatically.
A butterfly in the Amazon rainforest of South America, with an occasional flap of its wings, could cause a tornado in Texas, USA, two weeks later.
Xu Yang, who crossed over from the 21st world, occasionally did a few small things, but now he is leading today's Chang'an crowds of people.
Both sides of Suzaku Street were already full of people, and the people who heard about it from the newspapers in the ten miles and eight towns around Chang'an had all come, and Li Er had to send sergeants to Suzaku Street to maintain order, but this could not control the enthusiasm of the people.
The holy monks seek Buddhism overseas, this is a big event that has not been encountered in a century, and while the farming has not yet begun, hurry up and join in the fun.
Tang Xuanzang is wearing a gold-inlaid robe today, it is simply sparkling, this is sponsored by the friendship of the Liu family in Youzhou, and the only reward is to hope that the monk can be the image spokesperson of the Liujia Glass Factory in Youzhou when he returns, of course, Xuanzang does not know what the image spokesperson is, but when the gold-inlaid robe is sent, Master Kongdu agreed for Xuanzang, Liu Dongliang thanked Master Kongdu vigorously, and he must dress up to visit the temple another day.
The Master of Emptiness said very transcendentally, "No thanks. Then he sent Liu Dongliang out of the temple like watching a fool.
Xuanzang is holding a nine-ring tin staff in his left hand, which is also golden, dazzling and colorful, the nine rings on it are as delicate as a copper bell, and all evils are not invaded, of course, this thing is also sponsored, Chang'an Business and Leisure Club is sponsored by friendship, and the only reward is that Master Tang can inscribe a word for the restaurant, which is hung on the aisle stairs of the restaurant, of course, Master Kongdu naturally helped Xuanzang agree.
Xuanzang's last equipment is a purple gold bowl in his hand, of course, this equipment is not sponsored by a private company, but is personally given by His Majesty the Tang Emperor, made of purple gold, which looks graceful and luxurious, and the excited Tang Xuanzang is a little overwhelmed.
"Xuanzang, this journey is difficult and dangerous, I hope you can complete your ambition and return smoothly, and I will personally pick you up in the future." As an emperor, Li Er, of course, has to pretend to be a good emperor and conform to the voice of the people.
"Thank you, Xuanzang will do his best not to get the Western Meridian, and he will not change it." Tang Xuanzang also said firmly.
"Good!" Li Er applauded and said, "I just appreciate your courage, come here, prepare the customs clearance documents, take the local tea, I want to drink with the mage!" ”
When a eunuch next to him heard this, he hurriedly respectfully picked up a small plate, on which there was a good cardboard paper customs clearance document, and next to it was a wolf pen wrapped in gold silk cloth, and next to the pen were two teacups, which contained a cup of brewed Tieguanyin tea, and a small pinch of sand next to it.
I saw Li Er pick up a cup of teacup, then gently pinch up a pinch of sand with his hand, sprinkle it into the tea, and then faced Tang Xuanzang and said, "Master, it's better to drink local tea!" ”
Xuanzang had tears faintly in his eyes at this time, and he saw that he also sprinkled sand into the tea according to Li Er's appearance, and then said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the poor monk has nothing to repay, and he will definitely bring back all the overseas Buddhism!" With that, he raised his head and drank the tea.
"Drink it!" Li Er also drank the cup of tea.
At this time, it has reached the climax stage of the holy monk's travel, on the Suzaku Street in Chang'an, I can only see the monk on the Chengtian Gate and the golden monk drinking tea there, and I don't know what to say, I am scratching my ears and cheeks in a hurry, I heard a commotion in the crowd, and then I saw the golden monk walking down from the city tower.
Under the castle tower, there were already a hundred soldiers in armor lined up, as well as dozens of accompanying monks.
Tang Xuanzang held a staff in his left hand and a bowl in his right hand, and with the help of his entourage, he rode a tall white horse, looking handsome and chic, if he wasn't wearing a robe, he would look like a beautiful boy.
Tang Xuanzang walked slowly along Suzaku Street towards the palace gate, which also attracted the attention of the entire Vermilion Bird Street at this time, and the people on both sides of the street were all cheering and celebrating, watching the monk in front of him travel overseas.
The two-story buildings on both sides of the street all poked out the little faces of the girls.
The ninety-nine cold picture fluttered in the wind in the spring breeze, and it seemed to be sending off Xuanzang's trip.
It wasn't until the procession of hundreds of people slowly walked out of the Vermilion Bird Gate and disappeared into the eyes of everyone on Suzaku Street that the warm atmosphere in Chang'an dissipated slightly.
The study of scriptures in the west in history has begun
The Buddhist monk Xuanzang traveled to the Western Regions, which can be said to have earned enough eyeballs, and the number of people who believe in Buddhism in Chang'an has increased a lot.
The presiding officer of the Da Ci En Temple, Master Kongdu, now sits in the main hall of the Daxiong Treasure Hall every day to watch the believers donate incense money, and the little disciples can't go up to disturb it, and when they disturb the lunch, it will be gone.
Buddhism is refreshing from head to toe, and Taoism is more bitter.
The believers who donated incense money suddenly decreased by two-thirds, listening to the complaints of the master of the Zongsheng Palace, Yuan Tiangang's brows were furrowed deeply, he has been doing research with Li Chunfeng in the real room recently, and he has no time to teach those students of Nanshan Academy, and he has no time to take care of the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, but now that the Buddhism family has made such a big incident, the balance between Buddhism and Taoism has been completely broken, and if the Taoism does nothing, the situation will continue to deteriorate.
Yuan Tiangang knows that the matter is strict, but what is the solution now?
"Si Miao, you are also a Daomen, Daomen is now in crisis, you should think of a way." Yuan Tiangang really came to find Sun Simiao, an old teammate.
Sun Simiao was wearing a white coat and a pair of small glasses at this time, staring carefully at a microscope, and then walked over to change the slide, seemingly ignoring Yuan Tiangang.
"Si Miao, how can you sit idly by? This is a time of crisis. Yuan Tiangang said with some complaints.
"Wait for that kid from Xu Yang to come back, I always heard him say that Changbai Mountain seems to be a holy place for Daomen, let him give him a map, and Daomen will also send a team to explore, don't you have it." Sun Simiao said lightly, "Don't get in my way, I still have lessons after I finish this." ”R1152
