But it was said that after Wukong, Hanging Courage and Little Mute saw Xuanzang from afar, they were ecstatic to greet him......

"Master, disciples, and others are about to go to you, and there is something important to discuss with you!" Wukong said excitedly.

"What's important?" Xuanzang said with a smile, "The teacher also happens to have something to discuss with you, so you can go to the abbot's room with the teacher to talk." ”

"Division...... Father, still ...... Yes, please come to the dish...... Let's go to the garden......" The little mute replied with a fluttering eyebrow, "Fang ...... Talent, we are ...... The Lord has let the autumn ...... Sister Shui went to the street to pick ...... I went to buy food. Heard about you and when ...... Long live the marriage of the ...... Surname brother, also ...... To serve the West...... Go and seek the scriptures, what ...... Take the disciples as a ...... I want to ...... a heart Please join us in the celebration...... Congratulations!"

"Okay, it's rare that you have this intention, so you will be bothered as a teacher......" Xuanzang hesitated slightly, and then followed Wukong and the others, and soon came to the vegetable garden and entered the small courtyard.

At this time, the sky is close to dusk, the autumn sun has slanted, and the already quiet and peaceful courtyard is bathed in the afterglow of the sunset, which is more comfortable and warm.

For a period of time, to be exact, after Master Xuan Ce moved out of the small courtyard to take care of Xuantan, Qiushui cleaned up the feeling of leaving here at home.

"Division...... Father, Tea ...... Come on......" Xuanzang, who was preoccupied, had just sat down, and the little mute hurriedly put the teapot and tea bowl on the table.

"Jinzi, Xiaodu, Hanzi, you have been in Hongfu Temple for almost a year...... Xuanzang took a sip of tea and said slowly, "In seven days, the teacher will leave Chang'an and go west by order." After the division leaves, you can go to Wei Chigong's mansion to find an errand. Wei Chigong is your senior brother, and he has always admired gold, and I believe that when you go to him, you will definitely be like a fish in water and make great achievements. ”

"What, let the disciples go to Yu Chigong and wait, Master, what do you mean by this?" Listening to Xuanzang's words, Wukong couldn't help but exclaim, "Early this morning, when the disciple went to look for you, didn't you say that our master and apprentice had the same dream, had the same mind, and received the decree of Guanyin Bodhisattva together, and we will also go to Tianzhu together and worship Lei Yin together in the future?!"

"Little Jinzi, listen to me, this morning, I was too excited to be a teacher, and now that I think about it, dreams are illusory things, and they are not enough to rely on!" Xuanzang sighed.

"Master's words are wrong, if dreams are illusory, could it be that the brocade robe and the nine-ring tin staff are also fake?!" Wukong said impatiently.

"Of course, the brocade robe and the nine-ring tin staff are true, and obtaining these two treasures has strengthened the teacher's determination to go west to seek the Fa. But calm down and think about it, the West Heaven Great Leiyin Temple is 108,000 miles away, and I don't know what year and month it will take to reach it as a teacher. Now, you are over forty years old as a teacher, and you are in your youth, if you really go west with your teacher, if there is one in ten thousand miles, and you can't learn from the scriptures, won't you delay your good years in vain!" Under Wukong's questioning, Xuanzang had no choice but to say what was in his heart......

"Division...... Father, your ...... of suffering Heart disciples...... Solution, can you ...... Can't listen to me...... Two sentences...... "Seeing that Wukong and Xuanzang were holding on to their own words, they were deadlocked, and the little mute interjected on the side, "According to the group...... What the Lord said, yesterday ...... In the evening, you ...... I made a ...... with the group leader. The same dream. At...... In the dream, the view ...... The sound bodhisattva refers to ...... Show you, one ...... Go to the west to worship ...... The Buddha asks for sutras, if you leave ...... The first ...... of the next group leader Go personally, that will ...... There will be no disobedience to the bodhisattva...... ......What does Sa mean? If so, it will be ...... in the future If you arrive at the West Heaven Great Leiyin Temple, you may also take ...... Don't you go back to the scriptures?"

"Is this the teacher, I haven't thought about it yet......" Hearing the little mute's words, Xuanzang suddenly hesitated.

"Master, the little mute is right, the holy will cannot be violated, you can show mercy and take the disciple with you......" Wukong smiled, "In addition, the little mute has a flexible mind and can speak well, if you bring him, you can also give us ideas, and besides, the courage is good and strong, let him go with him, and someone will pick up our luggage......"

"Alas...... Okay, if I can't resist you as a teacher, I'll take you with me......" Xuanzang thought about it again and again, and smiled helplessly, "However, if you all leave, what will Qiushui do?"

"Autumn ...... Sister Water can also ...... Let's go together, do it along the way...... Rice washing, sewing...... Sewing and mending, missing the autumn ...... How about Sister Water...... How can it be done?" said the little mute smirked.

"Alas, little dumb, for the teacher to go west to Tianzhu this time, it is a holy decree, representing the imperial court and the entire Buddhist community of the Tang Dynasty, if you take a woman like Qiushui on the road together, it is obviously not appropriate......" As soon as Xuanzang said this, everyone was silent......

Master, Brother Shan, don't worry about Qiushui, Qiushui is not a child, he will take care of his own ......" Suddenly, Qiushui came to the house with a large bag of food, and smiled at everyone reluctantly.

"Qiushui, you heard it all...... Master, he ...... Alas...... I'm really sorry...... "The love of children is long, the hero is short of breath, looking at the autumn water that is forced to make a happy face, Wukong scratches the soft intestines for a while, and has a splitting headache......

"Brother Shan, don't be sad, a good man has ambitions in all directions, and your trip to Tianzhu with the master this time is a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions! Qiushui is a daughter, although he can't go together, but Qiushui's heart will always be with you......" At this point, Qiushui was already in tears, and he couldn't cry silently......

In this way, a dinner in the name of celebration ended without beginning in a sad and mournful atmosphere......

That night, Wukong, Qiushui and others sat speechless and stayed awake all night. And in the next few days, what was originally a relaxing day gradually turned into an ordeal!

Alas...... For those who are separated in life, this annoying time is so unkind!

Once upon a time, when you were looking forward to the rapid flow of time, it seemed to freeze, but now, when you want it to slow down and slow down, it has passed without hesitation!

Although I don't want to face it, although I don't want to face it, the moment of parting is still approaching day by day with the change of day and night......

September 11, that is, the day before the envoy to Tianzhu, the sky was dusk, the remnant sun was gone, Xuanzang, Wukong and others accompanied Qiushui and came to a nunnery in the east of Chang'an City.

The small nunnery is not big, and the name is Wuxiang Nunnery. The owner of the nunnery is a kind and kind elder, called Master Jingci, the lay cousin of Master Xuanzang, and also an old practitioner who is a young monk.

Xuanzang entrusted Qiushui to Mrs. Jingci and asked her to temporarily live in Wuxiang Nunnery. Everyone exchanged a few more greetings, and Xuanzang led Wukong and the others to leave.

reluctantly said goodbye to his beloved mountain brother in tears, and he didn't eat dinner in Qiushui, and he couldn't sleep at night......

On the second day, just after the east turned white and the roosters crowed five drums, the autumn water got out of bed in a hurry.

"Qiushui girl, you got up so early...... At this time, Mrs. Jingci, who was sleeping in the back room, heard the movement and walked out with a smile, "Today is September 12, Xuanzang and they are going west." Xuanzang is the cousin of the poor nun, and yesterday he secretly told me that they went west to seek the Dharma this time, and they would be able to return in three or five years. On the day of triumph, he will not only return to you a healthy, handsome and dashing little gold, but also play the emperor, please long live the marriage of you......"

"Thank you Master Xuanzang, thank you Master Jingci for ......" Qiushui's face turned red when he heard this.

"You don't have to take care of yourself, how can you do it without eating or sleeping?" Master Jingci then smiled, "It's still early, let's fill our stomachs steadily, and then it's not too late to send them to the west of the city to send their apprentices!"

Mrs. Jingci said as she pulled up the autumn water, briefly freshened up, and then made a pot of porridge, heated a few steamed buns, and made a plate of pickles.

After breakfast, Master Jingci woke up the two little nuns who were still asleep, explained a few words to them, and then walked out of Wuxiang Nunnery with Qiushui and went straight to Xicheng.

Ten miles west of Chang'an City, there is an open space where princes and nobles run horses and shoot shots. As early as a few days ago, the Chang'an Mansion received a holy decree and built a tall and gorgeous colorful shed in the open space!

On the solstice, when Qiushui and Master Jingci hurried to the vicinity of the color shed, the people on the third and outer floors had already crowded the place.

Qiushui looked in on tiptoe, and saw that under the color shed, surrounded by a group of warriors with bright armor, a man in a dragon robe was talking to Master Xuanzang.

No need to ask, this one wearing a dragon robe must be the Tang Emperor Li Shimin!

Li Shimin talked with Xuanzang for a while, and asked him to take out a purple gold bowl and hand it to Xuanzang, and then gave him a white horse.

Xuanzang Mountain shouted long live, knelt down to thank him, and said goodbye to Li Shimin.

Between Li Shimin's waves, Qiu Shui saw that in the team of Xuanzang and his party, Wukong suddenly appeared and looked back anxiously, trying to find something......

"Brother Shan, I'm here, I'm here......" Qiushui, whose eyes were hazy with tears, shook his hands desperately, hoping that Wukong could see him. But it backfired, and the noisy voices quickly drowned out Qiushui's shouts, and in the end, Qiushui could only watch his beloved Brother Shan go disappointed......

For Qiushui, this hasty send-off was a disaster, and although Master Jingci tried his best to comfort him, Qiushui, who returned to Wuxiangan, still lost his soul and slept for a day and a night full of self-blame before he came to his senses.

Then, the years began like years......

About half a month later, at lunch one day, Qiushui suddenly asked Mrs. Jingci, "Dare to ask Mrs. Teacher, how far have they gone...... How did I hear the two little sisters say that this Wuxiangan is also called the Avatar Temple?"

"Xiao Jinzi and Xuanzang, they should have walked six or seven hundred miles...... "For a few days, Master Jingci was no longer surprised by Qiushui's absent-minded and incoherent questions, "As for this Wuxiang Nunnery? In the past, when it was in Xicheng, it was called Huasheng Nunnery, but after moving to Dongcheng, it was renamed Wuxiang Nunnery!"

"It turns out that it was really moved from the Huasheng Nunnery in Xicheng......," Qiushui said thoughtfully, "In the first few days since I came, I have always felt that the holy statue of the Ancestor of Wuxiang in the Patriarch Hall is a little familiar, but now I finally understand." Dare to ask Mrs. Shi, did the Ancestor of Wuxiang have a Dharma name named Yuanji Shitai before he became enlightened and was canonized?"

"Master Yuanji?" Master Jingci frowned and said with a smile, "No, no, no, as far as I know, Master Wuxiang used to be called Master Huangshang!"

"Mrs. Huangshang, this name is really poetic, it would be nice for the little girl to have such a beautiful name......" Qiushui was very happy when she heard the word "Huangshang".

"Qiushui, you live in my nunnery, and you can be regarded as a female layman who practices on behalf of you, how about a poor nun also give you a Dharma name?" Seeing Qiushui's Taoist heart, Master Jingci said in surprise.

"Okay, okay, please give me a name!" Qiushui said with a smile.

"Hmm...... Let me think about it...... Translucent...... Eyes...... Eh, how about calling Golden Eyes?!"

"Golden Eye, does that mean anything?"

"Of course there is! gold can give birth to water, golden eyes mean that the eyes are bright and the heart is bright, and at the same time, this golden word also entrusts you with infinite thoughts about the little gold!"

"Very good, very good, in the future, Qiushui will be called Jinyan, thank you Mrs. Shi!" Qiushui was overjoyed for a while.

It's strange to say that since Qiushui took the golden eye of the law, the sadness that had been pressing on her heart for half a month was swept away.

Time flies, and it's the middle of winter. Due to the dry weather and the longing for Wukong day and night, the autumn water suddenly rose sharply, causing eye disease.

Looking at Qiushui's red eyes, two naughty little nuns in the nunnery actually gave her a nickname, one Xiaoni called her "red-eyed Qiushui", and the other called her "fiery eyes"......
