Chapter 32: The Day Without Goku
At some point, everyone may have a religious feeling in their hearts. This sentiment has nothing to do with a specific religion, but rather the sensitivity of the human heart to all things, the curiosity about the origin and ultimate truth of the world, and the desire for physical and earthly transcendence.
Xuanzang is a person who longs for detachment.
is different from the Journey to the West in the story, he does not have Wukong's company now, but only relies on his own feet to go all the way to the west.
The spring breeze of the willows is not there, and the wind of Yumen Pass has already carried the coolness, crossing the Yinshan Huma, the endless desert, and the empty sky is like a starry sky that encompasses the universe.
The cold wind swept up the yellow sand and hit his face painfully, and the swishing wind poured in from the monk's robe, Xuanzang felt that his hands and feet were already numb from the cold, but he had no idea of retreating, because he knew that every step forward was one step closer to Mahayana Buddhism.
Whenever he thinks of this, Xuanzang's heart will be full of fire.
This year's Saiwai is very different from previous years, the Turks have collapsed, a team of Tang Dynasty troops organized the people to occupy and divide the land in an orderly manner, Xuanzang has seen no less than 100 cases of distributing land and cattle and sheep to the Turks and Tang people along the way, Suzhou Thorn Shi Gongsun Wuda, Ganzhou Thorn Shi Chengren has reappeared and now has taken office, the former Turkic land, have turned into fertile land on the map of the Tang Dynasty.
Xuanzang has not thought about right and wrong, everything is reincarnation cause and effect, long prosperity and decline, long decline and prosperity are also the law of all things, Xuanzang's only curiosity is that these Tang Dynasty soldiers seem to be friendly to these Turks, Xuanzang has seen the slave market in Chang'an, where the attitude of the Tang people towards the Turks is simply very different from here.
Xuanzang didn't have time to stop and ask, his mood was so urgent, his desire was urging him to move forward firmly, over the Yinshan Mountains, across the Tianshan Mountains to the northwest, and then around the Central Asian grasslands, you can enter the territory of Tianzhu, these are all written on the map that Xu Yang once wrote on himself, and now he is measuring the authenticity of the map with his feet.
The cold snow gradually receded, but the snow still did not melt, and many shady places were still covered with snow, and the snow had been frozen, and walking on it would make a clicking sound.
This is the last city in the western regions of the Turkic north, Xuanzang did not enter, just along the outer city, quietly with the escort of the people through, at this time, he will recall his glory in Chang'an, Li Er Majesty Xià personally saw him off, Suzaku Street was overcrowded, and the road was welcome.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, this feeling is so happy, now, he can leave behind the eye-catching prosperity, wear a monk's robe, quietly be a Buddha seeker, and make a pilgrimage to the holy place.
Here, the area actually controlled by the Tang Empire, has reached the limit of the west, and the desert beyond it is no longer suitable for human habitation for a long time. Xuanzang took one last look at his homeland, resolutely turned his back to Datang, and continued to embark on his lonely journey
"Husband, watch one more episode, watch another episode~" Liu Mengli rarely pretended to be a little daughter, shook Xu Yang's arm, and said coquettishly.
"That's it~ Husband, my sister is pregnant, if you can't watch the next episode, thinking about it day and night, it's not good for the baby." Jin Shengman was also fanning the flames on the side.
"Phew! When you just watched the first four episodes, you said that this is the fifth episode, and it's time to eat. Xu Yang's face was embarrassed, this is really self-inflicted, I have to show Liu Mengli an episode of "Journey to the West", but it was out of control, and I couldn't stop all of a sudden, it was an afternoon, somehow, Jin Shengman also came to join in the fun, and the two good sisters chattered together on the mobile phone like a treasure, and they didn't want to let go at all.
"Husband, just rely on the concubine once~" Liu Mengli's hardware is good, although she is pregnant, but she has a little more familiar flavor, such a girl-like coquettishness, so that Xu Yang has no resistance, and weakly looks at the recliner next to him, shakes his head and says: "This is the last episode today, understand?" ”
Liu Mengli and Jin Shengman nodded like chickens pecking rice
Huge palace lanterns, crane incense turtle pots, a purple gas, a luxuriously decorated Jinluan hall with a large table of sumptuous delicacies.
This is a family banquet, Li Er's family banquet.
Since the fall of the Turks, Li Er's mood during this period has been extremely good, judging from the fact that he has held five family banquets in just half a month, his joy is still continuing.
"Come on, come on, Gao Ming, He'er, Qingque, You'er, Su'er, come and taste this freshly cooked corn, such a golden holy product, but they are all from thousands of miles overseas, haha." Li Er didn't know how to do it today, he had always been strict with a few princes, and he laughed heartily rarely.
Empress Changsun did not wear a phoenix cloak today, but a purple Yong jacket, and her hands could be seen, always on her slightly bulging belly.
"Gao Ming, Qingque, I went to Xujiazhuang today, and what teachings did I listen to Mr. Guigu?" Empress Eldest Sun asked Li Chengqian and Li Tai with a smile.
Before a few of them could answer, Li Er said first: "Guanyin didn't say that I really forgot, today is a few of you going to Xujiazhuang to accept Guiguzi's teaching, what do you learn and think, come and talk to me, the one who says the best, I have a reward." ”
Li Chengqian is the oldest and the crown prince, so he spoke first: "Back to my father, I went to Xujiazhuang today, Xu Shi showed a few of our brothers an animation called "Hulu Brothers" with a mobile phone mirror, in which the seven brothers each have the ability to pass the sky, and finally punish the goblin, Xu Shi taught that this is to educate me and other brothers and brothers, and unite to win." ”
"What a brother, brother, brother, brother Although Li Er couldn't understand what Li Chengqian said earlier, he heard it clearly later, and he was immediately very satisfied, and planned to ask Xu Yang what kind of gourd that kid was afterwards, which didn't sound like the Four Books and Five Classics at all.
Empress Eldest Sun didn't have as many scruples as Li Er, she didn't understand it, she didn't understand, and she didn't care about face, so she asked, "Oh? Mobile phone mirror? So what exactly is the gourd brothers? ”
The youngest Li stood up from the forehead seat next to him, and said excitedly: "Yi Niang doesn't know, how capable the gourd brother is, the big baby is infinitely powerful, the second baby is clairvoyant and the wind ear, and the third baby and the third baby are" Speaking of this, Li Su suddenly saw Li Er glance at himself, and suddenly got stuck.
Li You next to him didn't see Li Er, but still followed Li Yu's words: "The third baby is copper and iron." ”
A few little princes suddenly chattered, Li Er became more and more incomprehensible, he had always been a little disgusted with things that were not under his control, and coughed heavily, and suddenly the entire hall was quiet.
"Well, tomorrow I will go to Xujiazhuang to study, and I will send a gentleman to follow me to see what interesting things this ghost valley has shown you, and when I come back, I can also see what the results of the princes he wanted to teach me at the beginning."
Tianzhu is still far away, a group of horses, it seems a little withered, the soldiers holding the halberd are powerless to put the halberd on the horseback, the front of the walker team, Xuanzang's thin body is pulled by the sunset very long, as if the whole person has been rendered with a layer of Buddha light.
It was almost dark, and it was necessary to rush to the country of Yiwu, the first country on the Silk Road, and the first small country on the border of the Tang Kingdom today, when it was completely dark.
Despite Wukong's absence, Xuanzang was still protected by some kind of underworld, along the way, except for the harsh environment, there was no other predicament, you know, it is very common to encounter vicious wolves on the barren winter grassland, and dozens of people's guards may not be able to defeat the hungry wolves.
By the time the sun finally disappeared over the horizon, the gates of Igo had slowly closed.
"Master, there is Yiwu in front of you, so I will go to the fast horse to ask for a report first, so that the master can enter the city." A young general said to Xuanzang.
Xuanzang nodded, "Then there is General Lao Zhao." ”
One man and one horse, the fast horse took the lead, broke away from the slow-walking crowd, approached the gate of Yiwu Kingdom, and the young general shouted: "The holy monk of Tang Kingdom has arrived!" Ask to meet the King of Igo Country! ”
