Chapter 132: High Heaven Mirage
said that when Xuanzang woke up, he found that the brocade robe and the nine-ring tin staff given by the Bodhisattva in his dream really appeared in front of him......
"Amitabha, my God, Bodhisattva...... The Bodhisattva has really manifested himself...... Xuanzang jumped up excitedly, jumped out of bed, held the brocade robe and the nine-ring tin staff in his arms with trembling hands, touched and touched, looked and looked......
"Master...... Master, are you awake......" Suddenly, Wukong's intermittent knocks on the door came in.
"Little Gold...... Little Gold actually came early in the morning...... I have him in my dream, I have to tell him about it quickly......" Xuanzang put down the treasure in his hand, came to the door excitedly, and opened the door.
"Master, Master, last night, the disciple had a strange dream, the disciple dreamed that Guanyin Bodhisattva came to your room...... "Huh, without waiting for Xuanzang to speak, Wukong actually took the lead in saying what Xuanzang wanted to say.
"What, little gold, did you also have such a magical dream...... You, you, you...... Let's see what it is......" Xuanzang said as he happily pulled Wukong into the inner room and pointed to the table.
"Ahh......h Could it be that Guanyin Bodhisattva is really here?!" Wukong was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, little gold, the Bodhisattva is really here! It's just that, like you, the Bodhisattva also came in a dream of being a teacher...... Xuanzang said and described the situation in his dream in detail.
After listening carefully, Wukong said in amazement: "Master, your dream is roughly the same as your disciple's, except that in your dream, the Bodhisattva incarnates as a head monk, and the disciple's dream is a mad monk?!"
"Crazy monk......" Xuanzang pondered slightly, and said with a smile, "Little Jinzi, I heard that Guanyin Bodhisattva has thousands of hands, thousands of eyes, and hundreds of billions of incarnations, and in order to save sentient beings, the Bodhisattva can always be different from person to person, and take advantage of the situation!
"Have you seen him? What does it have to do with it?" ......Wukong frowned, and after thinking for a moment, his heart trembled: Ah, this crazy monk...... Could this crazy monk be the mad monk he dreamed of in the Confucius Temple...... I vaguely remember what the mad monk had said, 'Sun Monkey, that's the good person you are looking for in the tenth generation of cultivation'...... Master Xuanzang happens to be the tenth abbot of Hongfu Temple! Master Xuanzang is a good person who has high morals, and now he has been enlightened by the Bodhisattva, and he wants to go to the west to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures...... In addition, what is the Bodhisattva's saying that 'the water in front of the Five Elements Mountain falls out and knows the true face'...... Also, where is the Five Elements Mountain, is it in the territory of Datang, or is it far away in Tianzhu...... How did this and this, east and west, become a mess......
For a while, Wukong thought about it, was suspicious, and was stunned......
At this time, the monk ran in in a panic to report that a herald of the imperial court came from outside the mountain gate, and asked the abbot Xuanzang to immediately go to the palace with the decree and meet the king.
Xuanzang received the holy decree, briefly explained a few words to Wukong, and then bowed to the south, and then put on a brocade robe, picked up the nine-ring tin staff, and left Hongfu Temple with the herald.
About half an hour later, the hurried group walked through the streets and alleys, entered the palace, and came to the gate of the noon court.
"Long live the decree, long live the monk and the abbot of Hongfu Temple, Master Xuanzang!" With the voice of the head of the palace, Xuanzang came to the palace in full spirit, and the mountain shouted long live, kowtowing.
At this time, Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was wearing a crown on his head and an ochre yellow robe, with a kingly spirit! And the civil and military officials standing on both sides were also holding their heads high and in high spirits!
"Holy Monk is exempt from salutation!" In the spacious, tall and magnificent hall, Tang Taizong's voice was particularly majestic, "Holy monk, I was very pleased after talking to you yesterday. Early this morning, I wrote the scriptures and used the customs clearance seal. Just now, I asked Qin Tianjian to check the ephemeris, and Qin Tianjian said that September 12, seven days later, was a good day to travel. The mage will go back to prepare and prepare, and then he can serve as the envoy of the Tang Dynasty and my substitute monk to Tianzhu to seek the true scriptures!"
"The poor monk leads the order! The poor monk is grateful for the grace of the encounter! The poor monk must do his best to travel westward, in order to retrieve the Mahayana Sanzang Sutra as soon as possible, and pray for the eternal stability of the emperor's country!" Xuanzang said as he prostrate on the ground, unable to kneel for a long time.
Seeing this, Li Shimin hurriedly ordered the eunuch on duty to pick up Xuanzang. At this time, take a closer look at Xuanzang, and yesterday's style is very different, if yesterday's Xuanzang is a modest and courteous monk, then today's river is a sassy and heroic golden Arhat!
"Oh, the mage is really worthy of being a handsome figure in the monk's sect!" Looking at it, Li Shimin couldn't help but applaud, "Is the mage's robe and tin staff also a treasure of Buddhism?"
"Your Majesty, the name of this robe is called Jinhui robe, and this tin staff is called the nine-ring tin staff, which was given by Guanyin Bodhisattva in his dream last night...... Xuanzang said, looked at the civil and military officials on both sides, and described his dream specifically and slightly. When everyone heard this, they were all amazed!
"The Master is truly a virtuous man with extraordinary circumstances. I suddenly had a reluctant request, the mage traveled for me, tirelessly worked hard, I want to worship the mage as a brother with a different surname, I wonder if the mage is willing?!" Li Shimin said with a happy face.
"Your Majesty holds his hair and vomits, the grace of heaven is mighty, and the poor monk is panicked and uneasy, and he can't ask for it!" Hearing this, Xuanzang immediately fell to his knees again excitedly, and thanked him!
"Okay, good brother, please get up!" Li Shimin said and stood up, walked from behind the dragon book case to the grade stage, personally helped Xuanzang up, and then really in front of the civil and military officials, he swore to the sky with Xuanzang, and married Jinlan!
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!" "I wish Your Majesty the Emperor a long life!" "Congratulations to Master Xuanzang for a thousand years of life!" In an instant, hundreds of civil and military officials knelt down one after another, and the hall resounded with a long-lasting, tsunami-like sound of congratulations......
At this time, a palace official hurriedly ran in and reported that a Rui statue suddenly appeared in the sky.
When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately brought Xuanzang and hundreds of civil and military officials to the outside of the hall. Everyone put their hands on the pergola, looked up, and saw that above the blue blue southern sky, there was a large group of colorful clouds glowing with golden light spinning wantonly, sometimes turning into a dragon, sometimes turning into a tiger, sometimes like a horse galloping, sometimes like a unicorn into the sea......
In the end, a lotus platform gushed out, and on the lotus platform sat the compassionate and joyful Guanyin Bodhisattva. On the left side of the Bodhisattva, Hui'an Walker held the Demon Treasure Stick in his hand, standing majestically between the clouds and mist.
"Guanyin Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva ......" In addition to the surprise, Li Shimin bowed into the air, and Xuanzang and hundreds of civil and military officials also knelt on the ground to pray......
At this moment, a gust of incense blew by, and the totem of Guanyin instantly turned into a golden lotus and drifted away towards the sky. At the same time, a pair of characters suddenly floated down in mid-air.
Li Shimin hurriedly ordered someone to take the character slip over and unfold it to take a look, but saw that the character slip read: Etiquette Tang Jun, there is a wonderful text in the West. The day of the return of the true scriptures, the heart of heaven is timed!
"Oh, what a great monk Guanyin who knows cold and heat, and rescues suffering and rescues difficulties!" After reading it for a long time, he recited it silently several times, and Li Shimin was excited and moved, so he asked people to hang the characters in the imperial study, so that they could be worshiped every day and salute from time to time......
The emperor was satisfied, the ministers were happy, and this court meeting ended with great joy.
I don't know who leaked the news, when the ambitious Xuanzang returned to Hongfu Temple, the monks of the temple already knew that Xuanzang was going west to seek scriptures.
So, without waiting for Xuanzang to stand still in the abbot's room, important figures such as Liao Yuan Monk, Vena Monk, and Master Xuan Ce of Hongfu Temple hugged in.
"Abbot, I heard that you have received the emperor's holy decree and want to go to Tianzhu Kingdom to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures, is this true?"
"Yes, Senior Brother Liaoyuan!" Xuanzang smiled.
"Abbot, I have often heard people say that the road to the west is not only rugged and difficult, the journey is long, but also between the mountains, forests and ravines, there are many tigers, leopards and demons blocking the way!
"Senior Brother Vena don't have to worry, since I have served the will of the Tang Emperor on my westward trip this time, it can be expected that the countries along the way will definitely treat me with great courtesy, so there shouldn't be anything wrong...... Xuanzang said quite firmly, "After I go west, the big and small affairs of Hongfu Temple will be entrusted to Senior Brother Vena and Senior Brother Liaoyuan......!
"Abbot, I wrote it down! That Xuan Tan was bent on harming you, and now he has become a madman, he is to blame and deserves it! You don't owe him ......" Xuan Ce said this, and suddenly felt a little sad.
"Alas...... Senior Brother Xuance! You know best, if it wasn't for Senior Brother Xuantan and the old abbot who found out in time, where would there be the current Jiang Liu'er......" Xuanzang said, and his eyes suddenly turned red......
The atmosphere at the scene was suddenly full of sentimentality, and everyone said some comforting words to each other, and went their separate ways.
Xuanzang was the only one left in the abbot's room, and for some reason, Xuanzang suddenly felt unprecedented loneliness.
"Little Gold...... Yes, before I go west, I have to give Xiao Jinzi and them an explanation......" Xuanzang sat for a while, and suddenly remembered Wukong and the others, "Xiao Jinzi is smart and free, he is a teenager, and he must not let him venture west with him......"
As soon as he thought of this, Xuanzang hurriedly stood up and hurried out of the abbot's room.
Maybe it's really a heart, Xuanzang didn't go far before he saw Wukong, Hanging Courage and the little mute grinning towards him......
