However, it is said that from the night tour of Qujiang Pond to the white peony, just a few days later, Master Xuanzang became famous in Chang'an City. For a while, almost everyone in the streets, alleys, teahouses and wine shops was talking about this upstart Buddhist sect of Hongfu Temple......

"Brother, what is the origin of this Master Xuanzang, how does it seem to suddenly fall from the sky?! His wisdom is so profound, his morality is so noble, why haven't I heard of his name before......

When my father was alive, he told the foolish brother more than once about the origin of Master Xuanzang! Master Xuanzang's common surname was Chen, and he was born with a very poor background, and he was born with a flood, and he was picked up from the river by Master Qian'an, the former abbot of Hongfu Temple. Therefore, Master Xuanzang also has a nickname, called Jiang Liuer......"

"This friend is right! I have also heard that the reason why this Jiang Liu'er floated in the water for three days and three nights was unharmed was because there was a white dragon under him, so Jiang Liu'er was also called the Jiangliu Ancient Buddha......

Regarding the origin of Master Xuanzang, people who have nothing to do, you say a word to me, you add a branch, I add a leaf, and soon it will be divine!

Time flies, day and night change, and in a blink of an eye, it is the season of autumn.

On a crisp afternoon with light clouds and a light breeze, Master Xuanzang's lay disciple and general Wei Chi Gong suddenly accompanied a mysterious figure to Hongfu Temple.

Out of respect, Xuanzang let Wei Chigong and others go to the abbot's room for tea. After the tea was put aside, the mysterious man gave Yu Chi Gong a look, and Yu Chi Gong stood up and said with a smile: "Master Xuanzang, the disciple came to visit this time, one is to miss the master, and the other is entrusted by this master. This master wants to discuss some Buddhist issues with you alone, so the disciple will not bother you......"

Yu Chigong said and winked at Xuanzang, and then retreated very humbly.

Seeing this, Xuanzang unconsciously moved in his heart: Why is Wei Chigong weird today...... The "master" in his mouth looks like he is in his early forties, although he is dressed as a scholar, he is quite heroic...... Could it be that this so-called "Master" has anything to do with the "Son of Heaven......

The more Xuanzang thought about it, the more surprised he became, so he smiled and said tentatively: "May I ask Master, are you surnamed Li?"

"Yes, I ...... It's really surnamed Li, how did the mage know?" The mysterious man hurriedly changed his words and covered up after subconsciously calling himself "I".

"Hooray...... It turned out that Long Live had arrived, and the poor monk was rude!" Hearing the word "I", Xuanzang, who had already understood eight or nine points, immediately got up and knelt down, bowing to the feet of the mysterious man.

"Mage, please get up!" The mysterious man hurriedly helped Xuanzang up and said with a smile, "The mage has good eyesight! I am Li Shimin! I have long heard of the mage's moral name!"

"Long live the reputation, the rumors on the street are not to be believed, the poor monk is just an ordinary cultivator!" Xuanzang bowed down and said in fear.

"The mage is too humble!" Li Shimin smiled, "Mage, don't blame me for hiding my identity, the reason why I came here is to talk openly and honestly with the mage about some mental issues!"

"Mind problem, do you have anything on your mind?" asked Xuanzang cautiously.

"Alas...... I am ashamed to say that in the past half of my life, I have fought in the east and west, and I have fought a hundred battles in the south, and it can be said that I have conquered the world and rarely met an enemy! In the past, on the battlefield of life and death, I was accustomed to seeing corpses all over the field and rivers of blood! It is not an exaggeration to say that my heart is as strong as iron and as hard as iron! But in the past year or two, I don't know what happened, or I am old, every night to the third watch, I always fall into a dream, and see some old people who died in battle! These people, or enemies or friends, one by one, are bloody, and they all say that I have caused them to die in vain and become lonely ghosts! I was so annoyed that I had also found some Taoist priests to do things to overkill my soul, but it didn't have much effect! I wondered, did I become fragile, I could conquer the world, why couldn't I overcome the fear in my heart?" Li Shimin mustered up the courage to reveal his privacy and distortion for many years, and suddenly felt much lighter in body and mind!

"Your Majesty often dreams of martyrs, which means that Your Majesty does not forget the old feelings and has a benevolent heart!" Seeing Li Shimin so frank, Xuanzang was very moved, "Your Majesty wants to overcome fear, only to let go of ego!"

"Let go of ego, how do you say this?" Li Shimin asked urgently.

"Your Majesty, in my Buddhism, there are self-appearances, human appearances, sentient beings, and longevity phases, and letting go of self-grasping is to let go of the four phases of attachment, so as to achieve a free realm without self and no one!" Xuanzang explained in as simple and easy-to-understand vocabulary as possible.

"This realm of escape...... But Zhuang Gong's realm of flying thousands of miles in "Getaway"?!"

"What Your Majesty said is very true!"

"Then how can we get to this realm?"

"As for how to achieve it, the poor monk doesn't know either. Nowadays, in the Hinayana teachings that prevail in my Tang Dynasty, only through the only method of 'sincerely reciting the Buddha' can we barely embark on the road to the realm of leisure......"

"Is there no other way in the world?"

"Yes! The poor monk heard that Tianzhu, the birthplace of Buddhism, has a set of Mahayana scriptures, which can transcend the deceased and ascend to heaven, overcome the suffering of difficult people, eliminate the disaster of innocence, solve the knot of grievances, cultivate immeasurable longevity, and become the supreme road!"

"Is it? Tianzhu Kingdom actually has such a special teaching! I am in the Tang Dynasty, and it is a great pity that I can't go there to seek advice in person!"

"Your Majesty, don't be worried! Xuanzang is not talented, he has already had the intention of going west to seek the law! Your Majesty only needs to give Xuanzang the documents for customs clearance, and Xuanzang can go to Tianzhu and retrieve the true scriptures!"

Tomorrow morning, I will tell the world that the Master went west to seek scriptures, and the Master can be my substitute monk to envoy Tianzhu ......."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Xuanzang will do his best to live up to His Majesty's grace!"

Seeing this, Li Shimin hurriedly pulled Xuanzang up. For the simple monk in front of him, the more he looked at it, the more happy he became......

The sky gradually darkened, and before I knew it, dusk had arrived, Xuanzang proposed to invite Li Shimin and Wei Chigong to eat fast, and Li Shimin readily agreed.

After a while, three bowls of exquisite millet porridge, a few plates of dim sum, and two side dishes were served. Li Shimin had a great appetite and ate exceptionally sweet.

After a meal, the three of them chatted for a while, and Li Shimin took Wei Chigong to leave.

After sending Li Shimin and Wei Chigong away, Xuanzang suddenly felt that he was trembling with excitement!

At night, Xuanzang lay on the bed, tossing and turning excitedly, and couldn't sleep for a long time......

"Amitabha, Buddha bless! Today is really a magical day, I didn't expect the Tang Emperor to suddenly visit Hongfu Temple, let alone that he would be familiar with the emperor at first sight, and I didn't expect that after a dialogue between the monarch and the minister, he would turn into a special envoy of the Tang Dynasty to Tianzhu, and I didn't expect that the vision of going west to seek the Dharma for nearly two years in the depths of my heart would become a reality so easily and justifiably...... And all of this, before this afternoon, was undreamable, this is simply incredible...... "Xuanzang's mind was flying and excited, and it was not until the fifth watch that he felt a little sleepy......

I don't know how long it took, in a daze, a gust of incense blew in, and Xuanzang found that the door of the abbot's room suddenly opened.

Xuanzang hurriedly put on his clothes and got out of bed, only to see Wukong walk in the door with a smile.

"Master, disciple Jinshan greets you good morning! Just now, the disciple met an old friend in the vegetable garden who he hadn't seen for many years, and he has admired you for a long time and wants to meet you!" Wukong said and snapped his fingers outside the door, and a fierce-faced and bare-chested Tianzhu Toutuo came to the house.

"Master Xuanzang, it's been a long time, do you still recognize the old monk?" the head stood abruptly and grinned.

"Recognize, recognize, turn into a gray poor monk and recognize it! If you hadn't disturbed the meditation hall for no reason two years ago, how could my teacher have died so quickly?!" Looking at the arrogant Tianzhu monk in front of him, thinking of the farce that happened in the meditation hall back then, Xuanzang couldn't help but become nameless!

"Master Qian'an's words are wrong, Master Qian'an is dying, it is his own karma, what is the matter with the old monk?" Toutuo said with a stern face, "The old monk is here, there is another important matter to ask you." The old monk heard that you are going to Tianzhu Kingdom to seek the true scriptures! As far as the old monk knows, there are hundreds of small princes and small countries in Tianzhu, do you know where the scriptures are?"

"Well, the poor monk doesn't know ......" Xuanzang was secretly taken aback when he heard this.

"You don't know, the poor monk told you, you remember clearly! That Mahayana Sanzang Sutra is in the West Heaven Da Lei Yin Temple, where my Buddha came from, 108,000 miles away! Not to mention the high mountain road, there are countless demons blocking the way on the way, do you dare to go?"

"Why don't you dare?! As long as I can retrieve the true scriptures and bless my Tang Dynasty, even if the poor monk's head is broken and his bones are broken, it is not a pity!" Xuanzang's eyes were blazing, and he was full of pride for a while.

"Okay, good, the Buddha didn't misunderstand you......" Toutuo said and looked up to the sky and laughed, and suddenly turned into qi, and then gathered into shape, showing the true body of relieving suffering, but it turned out to be the great mercy of Guanyin Buddha Sa, who appeared to be in the world.

Seeing this, Xuanzang hurriedly pulled Wukong to kneel down and bow upwards.

The Bodhisattva nodded and smiled slightly: "Tang Xuanzang, as long as you devote yourself to the Buddha and advance bravely, you will definitely be able to complete your merits and retrieve the true scriptures." Jinshan, if you want to know your true face, you should go west with Xuanzang, in front of the Five Elements Mountain, everything will fall into place. The mountain is high and the road is dangerous, the west is difficult, the poor monk specially gives you two talisman treasures, one of which is the brocade robe, which is woven by the fairy, and the goddess is machined, wearing this robe, which can eliminate disasters and solve difficulties, and does not fall into ......;

The Bodhisattva spoke, and with a finger of his hand, the shining brocade robe and the nine-ring tin staff fell into Xuanzang's arms. At the same time, a lotus flower surged up at the Bodhisattva's feet, and it flew out of the door with it, and it rose to the sky in the blink of an eye.

"Thank you, Bodhisattva! Bodhisattva walks slowly......" Xuanzang hurriedly got up to see him off, and after not wanting to be tripped over by the threshold, he woke up suddenly......

"Huh...... Fang Cai's situation was originally a dream of Nan Ke...... He was still lying on the bed, and the sky was already bright...... "Xuanzang turned over and sat up, stretched, and suddenly found that there were two more bright objects on the table in front of the bed.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes and looking at them intently, Xuanzang couldn't help but be surprised: Ah, these two things are clearly the brocade robe and the nine-ring tin staff in the dream......
