Chapter 581: Xuanzang's Persuasion

"Childe doesn't believe in Buddhism, so why should he claim to believe in a man?" Xuanzang had vaguely guessed Li Su's identity, but he didn't show the slightest abnormality, but directly pointed out that Li Su's words just now were lying. And after saying this, he turned his head to Liu Ren next to him: "I haven't seen you for many days, but Liu Tingshi's demeanor is still the same." ”

And Liu Renliang said respectfully: "The master is polite!" Then he returned to Li Su and stopped talking.

Li Yu knew that Xuanzang would recognize Liu Renliang, so he was not surprised, but he was a little surprised by the previous words, "Oh? How did Master Xuanzang know that Yang did not believe in Buddhism, could it be that the Buddha told the master? ”

"When believers come to the Buddha's Tooth Retreat, they are naturally pious, and they are all playing like Childe, and they don't show any respect for the Buddha's Tooth Retreat." Xuanzang said with a smile.

And Li Su was stunned for a moment after hearing this, followed by a burst of hearty laughter, he just wanted to make a joke, but he didn't expect that this master Xuanzang's observation was so keen, he could even find such small details, and he was exposed to his face, which is far from the image of the bad guy in the Journey to the West in later generations.

And after Li Su smiled, Xuanzang continued: "Although the son is not a believer, but the poor monk can meet in this Buddha tooth house, it can be seen that he is also related to the Buddha, if the son does not dislike it, you can go to the poor monk's meditation room to sit." ”

"Since the master is invited, Yang is naturally respectful and obedient, but as for what is related to the Buddha, this son does not believe it, otherwise he will be scolded by the ancestors!" Li Su said half-jokingly.

Xuanzang was stunned for a moment when he heard the last sentence, and then reacted. At the same time, the speculation about Li Su's identity in his heart is more certain, and the Li royal family calls himself Lao Tzu. He believed in Taoism, so he was naturally not interested in Buddhism. It seems that he lost his words just now.

However, Xuanzang's Buddhism is profound, and he doesn't care about these subtleties, so he quickly returned to normal, and then asked Li Su to go to his own Zen room to talk about it, Li Su naturally would not refuse, followed the other party out of the Buddha's Tooth Retreat, turned a corner and came to a medium-sized temple, and after entering through a corner gate, he finally came to an independent courtyard. A huge linden tree obscured the sky of the entire courtyard, and a rustic meditation room stood under the linden tree.

Li Su followed Xuanzang into the meditation room, and found that the layout in the meditation room was really simple, except for a low table and a few futons, there was nothing else. However, when Li Su, Xuanzang and the others sat down, a small novice soon sent a pot of tea and a few teacups.

At this time, Xuanzang opened his mouth and said with a smile: "This is the best hair tip that a believer gave to the poor monk a few days ago, just enough to be used to entertain distinguished guests, please taste it for His Highness and Lord Thorn Shi!" ”

For Xuanzang to reveal his true identity, Li Su did not feel the slightest surprise. After all, Liu Renliang can accompany him personally, and he is named after Yang Liu, Yang is the surname of Li Su's mother, and he is ranked sixth. Therefore, as long as you are a caring person, I am afraid you can analyze Li Su's true identity from it.

"Good tea, the soup is orange and translucent. The pine smoke has a fragrant aroma, which should be the tip of the hair produced in Weishan. Liu Renliang picked up the teacup. Smell its fragrance first, then look at its color. Then he tasted it before he spoke.

Although Li Su invented fried tea, he is not very proficient in tea tasting, and can only drink the quality of tea, but he can't judge what kind of tea, so there is no interface on this topic.

"Master Xuanzang has lived in Tianzhu for many years, so he must know the situation in Tianzhu very well, right?" Li Su took a sip of tea, and then asked with a smile.

Xuanzang heard Li Su's question, but shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this disappointed Your Highness, although the poor monk has been to Tianzhu all over the years, but he is dedicated to seeking Buddha, and he doesn't pay much attention to other things at all, and he only knows some about the situation in various countries." ”

Li Su was not surprised when he heard this, and then asked: "The master's concentration on Buddhism is indeed admirable, but I don't know when the master is going to return to China, if necessary, this king can send a fleet to escort the master back." ”

Xuanzang replied with a deep sigh: "Thank you for Your Highness's kindness, the poor monk was ready to return to the Tang Dynasty two years ago, but now Ceylon Island has belonged to His Highness's territory, and it is no different from the Tang Dynasty, plus this is a pure land of my Buddha, so the poor monk is ready to stay here for two more years, translate some Buddhist scriptures, and then ship them to China for printing and distribution!" ”

"This is a good idea, Buddhism is prosperous here in the Buddha City, and the environment and atmosphere are much stronger than those of the Tang Dynasty, and if the master has any needs, he can also mention it to Ren Rail, as long as this king can do it, he will not refuse!" Li Su said very boldly, but he didn't have any good ideas in his heart.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Xuanzang was very calm, and when his Buddhist cultivation reached his level, he had already taken foreign objects very lightly, and it was precisely because of this that he didn't feel too nervous when facing Li Su.

However, Xuanzang hesitated for a moment after speaking, and then said: "Your Highness, now that His Royal Highness King Jiang and King Yue have landed on the Tianzhu Continent, and they have also launched a war against the countries in the south of Tianzhu, although this kind of national affairs is not something that a monk can intervene in, but as the so-called heaven has the virtue of a good life, I wonder if His Royal Highness can admonish the two Highnesses and let them stop the sword soldiers as soon as possible, so as not to cause misery to the lives of the world?" ”

Li Su almost laughed out loud when he heard Xuanzang's words, because he finally saw the bad and good side of the other party, but this matter was not negotiable, and he didn't plan to let Li Yun and Li Zhen quit the army, so I saw him speak: "I'm afraid the master still doesn't understand the purpose of the seventh and eighth brothers' trip, and the situation in Nan Tianzhu must be clear to you, there has been a war for many years, and hundreds of people have been displaced because of the war, even if the people who survived, they are living a precarious life." ”

Li Su paused when he said this, and then continued: "So after the seventh brother and the eighth brother knew about this situation, they made a grand wish, they must unify Tianzhu and end the local situation that is even more chaotic than the Warring States, which can be said to be a good deed to relieve the people from hanging upside down, so it cannot be said that they want to invade Tianzhu, but they came with peace and civilization to rescue the people living in Tianzhu!" ”

After listening to Li Su's call, Xuanzang was stunned, it is estimated that he never thought that people could be so shameless, he is not a three-year-old child, if you believe Li Su's nonsense, then it is called a ghost.

However, although Xuanzang knew that Li Su was talking nonsense with his eyes open, he didn't have any way, after all, he was just a monk, and it was taboo to interfere in this kind of military and political affairs.

It is precisely in consideration of the above that Xuanzang sighed, and did not persuade again, but said with a compassionate heart: "It turns out that the two highnesses have some grand aspirations, but the poor monks are a little short-sighted, but it is still the words of the sage, God has the virtue of a good life, I hope that the two highnesses in the process of unifying Tianzhu, more merciful thoughts, try to create less killing!" ”

"This is natural, my two brothers are not murderous people in the first place, and they are here for peace, so as long as the people of Tianzhu live under their rule, they will definitely not suffer from war again!" Li Su said with a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude.

However, Liu Renliang next to him smiled secretly after hearing this, speaking of Jiang Wang Li Yun is more benevolent, but the Yue King Li Zhen is a natural general, and he is good at killing, some time ago in the conflict with the surrounding countries, many enemy armies have surrendered, but they were still slaughtered by him, which is somewhat similar to some generals in the Tang Dynasty, and he is really worthy of graduating from Chang'an Military Academy.

Although Xuanzang knew that Li Su's words were not credible, he had no choice, after all, this matter was beyond his ability. And Li Su also felt that the atmosphere was a little stiff, so he asked the other party about some of his experiences from Datang to Tianzhu, as well as some customs and customs around Tianzhu.

For Li Su's questions, Xuanzang naturally came as soon as he opened his mouth, and Li Su also listened to it with relish, although some of the things he learned from the other party's mouth were not as weird and weird as Journey to the West, but it was better than a truth, especially from the mouth of the person concerned, which made people feel more immersive.

Li Su and Xuanzang talked about it for an afternoon, during which he also had a meal with each other, and it was not until the sun was waning that he got up to say goodbye, and at the end of the farewell, Li Su also told Xuanzang not to patronize the translation of Buddhist scriptures, and he must take some time to write down his experience of going to Tianzhu from the Tang Dynasty, and the more detailed the better. After all, few people in later generations know what scriptures Tang Xuanzang brought back from Tianzhu, but they all know that he wrote a book "The Legend of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", which later evolved into the novel "Journey to the West", which influenced countless people.

When you first come to the Buddha City, you may still feel very fresh, but after staying for a long time, you will feel a kind of boredom, because in addition to the temple or the temple here, and the meals are mainly vegetarian, especially the prototype of the curry rice, that is, with a variety of spices and food to cook indiscriminately, eating a variety of flavors and mixed tastes, feeling particularly weird, which makes Li Su in his mouth particularly unaccustomed.

Of course, the Buddha City is not useless, there are also many attractive highlights here, such as the new Buddha City that is still under construction, this port city is much more open and lively than the old city, and there is also a very attractive place here, Li Su has heard its name before he came, and now he has finally come here.
