Chapter 147: The mind is decided
"Moon Spirit, why are you here? Xuanzang ......."
"He's going to Zhu? More than ten years?! Is it true that you just now, Brother Zhiyan?! ”
"What, it's not what Yue Ling thinks, you listen to me first......."
"Brother Zhiyan doesn't need it, I'll just ask Liu'er and I'll know!"
After the moon spirit was finished, he disappeared into the night, and he should have escaped directly with the Dao method, and Li Zhiyan had no chance to explain if he wanted to.
"Virtue Award, what's wrong? I just wanted to hear the voice of the moon spirit girl outside the door, is she outside? ”
"I didn't ...... No, Dad, nothing. Dad, you should be busy first, and my son will go first. ”
At this time, in the Jinguang Temple, Xuanzang was meditating and chanting in his room, and the moon spirit suddenly appeared in front of Xuanzang. Regardless of the sweat on his head, Yue Ling asked Xuanzang eagerly.
"Liu'er, you're going to Zhu, aren't you?!"
"Moon Spirit? How did you get here? ”
"I'm asking you, are you going to Zhu?!"
"Yes, Moon Spirit. I guess Master Li told you. ”
"Okay, okay, you and Brother Zhiyan are still hiding from Yue Ling like this, if Yue Ling hadn't run to find Brother Zhiyan, you two would still be hiding it in the dark, aren't they?!
I ask you Liu'er, why do you want to go to Zhu?! It's 108,000 miles away from Datang, you just ride around every day, and it will take more than ten years to get there, do you know? ! ”
"The monk knows. But even if it takes more than ten years, decades, the monks have to go to that place to seek the Mahayana scriptures. ”
"Why, why?!"
"This is the calamity of the monks, and the monks must face them."
"But...... But the catastrophe or something, it's just Brother Zhiyan's nonsense, why do you have to take it seriously?! Brother Zhiyan, he lied to you and lied to you!
You stay honestly in this Chang'an City, in this Jinguang Temple, and be your monk, how can there be those so-called calamities to come to your door?! ”
"Moon Ling's may be right, there may indeed be no so-called eighty-one tribulations in this Golden Light Temple.
But there will still be other calamities waiting for the monks...... Monk, you can't hide. It's better to go to Zhu to seek the Western Scriptures and face them. ”
"What calamity, what calamity can you have in this Golden Light Temple?!"
"Birth, old age, sickness, death. There are many, many other things, and monks are human beings, and they have to go through things that everybody has to go through.
Moon Spirit, look at the people in this world, who hasn't suffered in all kinds of calamities? Children want to grow up to be their own masters, and adults want to be carefree again.
The poor envy the rich, and the rich yearn for the poor.
Husband and wife are not in harmony, father and son are at odds with each other, and there are many disasters in this world that people dare not ponder in detail. No one can escape.
Monks are also human beings, so how can they be exceptional, so these are things that cannot be escaped.
Since it is also a catastrophe, the monk and his bear birth, old age, sickness and death, love and hatred in this Jinguang Temple. It's better to go out and go to Zhu to see the truth of Mahayana Buddhism.
At least if the monk walks this path of exploring the Mahayana Dharma, the monk will not regret it. ”
Xuanzang's words made Yueling not know how to deal with it, Xuanzang's rules were the way, but in every word, Yueling felt that Xuanzang was messing around, but he just couldn't find a reason to refute him.
"That'...... That........ Xuanzang, if I give it to you, I don't want you to go to Zhu to learn the scriptures. Will you stay?
Do you know that it will take at least ten years for you to come back. On the way, we have to pass through many, many countries, which may be the remnants of the Eastern Turks, or the Tuyuhun and Tibetans who are hostile to the Tang Dynasty.
It's also possible that you've never seen a country before, and maybe even people there kill monks and eat human flesh.
When you go, the road ahead is confused, and you don't know whether you live or die. Why did you end up losing your life for the sake of that illusory Mahayana Buddhism?! ”
"Yue Ling......" When Yue Ling opened his mouth, Xuanzang really hesitated, but in the end, he still said.
"Yue Ling, the matter of going to Zhu, the monk has made up his mind. This time it's real, it really won't, it won't be turbulent. ”
"Is Mahayana Buddhism really that important? Is it more important than me?! ”
"Yes."
"Good, good! Then you can go, and it will be your own fault to die on the road when the time comes! I don't care about you anymore!! ”
After Yue Ling finished, he immediately pinched the Dao seal in his hand and disappeared in front of Xuanzang. After the moon spirit disappeared, a tear flowed in Xuanzang's eyes. However, he was quickly wiped away by Xuanzang and continued to silently recite the scriptures in front of the Buddha.
"Why! Why, why! Yue Ling was holding Bai Zhi at this time, crying loudly in Bai Zhi's arms.
"Yue Ling, Xuanzang may just be impulsive, maybe he will ....... tomorrow"
"Let him do whatever he likes, and what's going on with my moon spirit! Sister Bai Zhi, don't mention him in front of me!! ”
"Okay, okay, don't mention him, don't mention him."
"Sister Bai Zhi, why are you, what's worse about staying in the Jinguang Temple than taking the Western Scriptures?! Why did Liu'er just go to get the Western Meridian?!
Doesn't he know the danger, this thousands of miles away, if there are three long and two short, he is still just a monk, what if something happens?! ”
"This, in fact, I don't know what Xuanzang thinks. Maybe it was indeed you who gave it to me just now, Xuanzang felt that in this Jinguang Temple, there would be no less calamity to experience than going to get the Western Scriptures.
In fact, Xuanzang's is not wrong, staying here is actually no different from taking the Western Scripture.
However, if you take the Western Sutra, you can still have the opportunity to see the Mahayana Buddhism that is passed on to all sentient beings. And staying in Jinguang Temple, if you are just a monk for the rest of your life, or you are still vulgar, you will not change anything.
Perhaps, this is because everyone has their own ambitions. Xuanzang chose to take a step forward for the ideal in his heart, not wanting to rest on his laurels and standing in place forever waiting. Maybe this is not a better choice for Xuanzang. ”
"Sister Bai Zhi, why are you still talking to Liu'er at this time?! So what should I do?! ”
"Uh...... No, no, Xuanzang's idea is completely wrong, and it is too dangerous to take the Western Classic. It's better to stay in Jinguang Temple honestly.
If Xuanzang wants to save sentient beings, in fact, he is still vulgar and then takes the test to gain fame, and it is also a good choice to enter the official career, right?
Instead of pinning your hopes on the ethereal Mahayana Buddhist scriptures, it is better to work hard to change the entire Tang Dynasty. Moon Spirit, you're right? ”
