Chapter 21 Jinshan Temple
Bi Laolei, who was wearing a monk's robe, would not look as out of place as before when he walked to the street at this time, and Xuanzang still used a gray turban to cover himself tightly, for fear of being recognized. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoDuring this period, Bi Laolei's stomach had been screaming several times, and Xuanzang had to find a noodle restaurant with a relatively small family to take a break.
"Boss, two bowls of beef noodles!" As soon as Bi Laolei entered the noodle restaurant, he couldn't wait to shout at the top of his voice.
"Two masters, are you sure you want beef noodles?" The owner of the noodle restaurant couldn't believe it, Buddhism was very popular in this era, and the self-restraint of all monks was very strict.
Bi Laolei seemed to find that all the people around him who were eating noodles were all looking at them with contempt, as if looking at something different, at this time Bi Laolei finally realized his current outfit and knew the mistake he had just made, he coughed twice in embarrassment, and shouted again: "Two bowls of somen noodles"
After seeing the strange eyes around him, Bi Laolei also breathed a sigh of relief, and found an empty table to sit opposite Xuanzang.
Looking at the famous Tang monk Tang Xuanzang sitting in front of him, Bi Laolei was excited for a while and didn't know how to talk to him, saying that this mission would not be to follow Tang Seng to the West to learn scriptures, if this is the case, it will be over, the ghost knows that he will have to accompany him for decades to get to the West Heaven.
"The donor's face doesn't seem to be very good" Xuanzang saw that Bi Laolei's face suddenly turned pale, and asked worriedly.
"Ah, it's okay, I just thought of some bad things, and I was scared" Bi Laolei wiped the cold sweat on his face and smiled awkwardly.
At this time, Xiao Er walked out of the back kitchen with two bowls of somen noodles, came to the table of Bi Laolei and Xuanzang, and respectfully put the noodles in front of the two.
Bi Laolei, who was already hungry, didn't care whether it was hot or not, picked up the chopsticks and ate them, while Xuanzang on the opposite side looked much more elegant, chewing slowly one bite at a time.
"Little two! Hurry up and get the wine and meat" The group of officials walked into the restaurant, swaggered to an empty table, and commanded Xiao Er.
Bi Laolei also glanced at them, it doesn't matter if they don't look at it, this look almost squirted out the rice, this line of officials is the group that just arrested Xuanzang on the street, and the bearded man happened to be sitting opposite them, Xuanzang seemed to have found them, and quietly wrapped the headscarf tighter.
When the shopkeeper saw these officials, he naturally didn't dare to be slack, so he immediately took a jar of wine and put it on the official's table, took out a bowl and poured it for them.
The bearded man at the head took a bowl of wine and drank it all, took a wipe of his beard with his hand, and sighed a few times as if he were enjoying it.
"This damn yellow-haired monk, we have to come out on a hot day to suffer the crime," said one of the men next to the bearded man, who finished drinking and put the bowl on the table, and the man very skillfully picked up the wine jar and poured the bearded wine bowl full.
"My lord, what is that monk's ability to deserve the emperor's attention?" Another petty official asked.
The bearded man took the bowl of wine that had just been poured and gave them and said, "Don't underestimate that monk, I have heard that he is the most accomplished monk in the country, and anyone who listens to his lectures can wash away all sins from his body and attain perfection."
"But he would disobey the emperor's order without his life, it's really stupid" The bearded man drank the bowl of wine in his hand again.
"Now the emperor although he is working hard to govern the country, to make up for his previous sins, but the emperor still feels that he has a lot of sin, and even often dreams that he has suffered from eighteen layers of hell, such a dream has tormented the emperor for several years, knowing that this year only began to recruit monks with cultivation in the world to eliminate his sins, and only this monk Xuanzang is the most cultivated" Several bowls of wine were down, and the beard was already slightly drunk.
Bi Laolei and Xuanzang have been sitting on pins and needles since these officials came in, and they couldn't stay for a moment, and after the two quickly finished eating the noodles in front of them, they tried to be as calm as possible, got up and walked out like normal people, trying to slip away unconsciously.
In a daze, the bearded man seemed to see Bi Laolei and Xuanzang who got up and were about to slip away, and immediately stopped them.
"That's... Two monks... To give.. I.. Stop," the drunken bearded man's words were a little slurred at this time.
After the bearded man shouted like this, all the officials next to him looked at Bi Laolei and Xuanzang.
"We are the guards of the Tang Emperor, and we have been ordered to arrest a monk, and all the monks in Chang'an City will be examined, including the two of you," the bearded man said to them.
I can't run away now.
"You two hurry up and let Lao Tzu see," the bearded man stood up, looking a little impatient, and kept urging.
"Give it, give it, look at it" Bi Laolei leaned his face in front of them, letting them see enough.
"Okay, okay, don't get so close, you look so ugly, you're about to vomit" The bearded man hurriedly waved his hand to let Bi Laolei quickly stay away from him, Bi Laolei turned around and was about to leave with Xuanzang, but he was stopped by the beard.
The bearded man pointed at Xuanzang and said, "And you haven't seen it?" ”
Xuanzang stood behind Bi Laolei like that, putting his hand on the turban on his head all the time, without the slightest sign of letting go.
"Master Jun, he has an infectious disease on his face, it's inconvenient" Bi Laolei lied to the bearded man and tried his best to confuse the past. Who knew that the bearded man didn't eat him, so he rushed up directly and took advantage of Bi Laolei's unpreparedness, crossed him to Xuanzang's side, and pulled off the headscarf used by Xuanzang to mask his face.
"Sure enough, it's you!" After pulling off the headscarf, the bearded man recognized Xuanzang at a glance.
Seeing that he had been exposed, Bi Laolei immediately pulled Xuanzang and rushed out of the noodle restaurant without saying a word. The bearded man naturally didn't want the duck in his hand to fly again, so he quickly picked up the guy and chased after his men.
"Where are we going?" Bi Laolei pulled Xuanzang to the street, and he didn't know which direction to go for a while.
"Out of town! Go straight back to Jinshan Temple! ”
"Then you lead the way!"
The two turned around and saw that the bearded man and his men had caught up, so they didn't dare to delay any longer, and Xuanzang led the way towards the city gate.
In this way, two groups of people stirred up the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, and whenever the bearded people were about to catch up, Bi Laolei wittily knocked down the surrounding stalls and blocked the bearded people for a moment. After a lot of hard work, Lao Lei and Xuanzang finally arrived at the city gate.
"Close the gates! Don't let the fugitives out of town! The bearded man took a token from his bosom, held it high, and shouted at the soldiers defending the city.
The soldiers guarding the gate of the city heard the shout, looked at it, saw the token at a glance, knew what they should do, and hurriedly beckoned the soldiers around to close the gate. Xuanzang was about to stop when he saw this scene, but Bi Laolei asked him to continue running, and he quietly took out the laser gun in the prop box.
Rumble..........
The entire city gate was destroyed by Bi Laolei's shot, this movement can startle Xuanzang, just stunned there, Bi Laolei caught up and saw Xuanzang stopped there, so he directly pulled him out of the city. And the bearded people were naturally frightened when they saw the scene in front of them, in this feudal society, only monsters could make this kind of movement, so they thought that Bi Laolei was a monster, and they knelt on the ground one after another, not daring to chase another half a step.
Bi Laolei once again relied on the laser gun in his hand to escape from Ascension, and the two escaped from Chang'an City and rushed all the way to Jinshan Temple. It was almost dusk, Xuanzang and Bi Laolei finally came to the temple of Jinshan Temple.
"Thank you to the donor for helping the little monk to hunt down, so that the little monk returned to Jinshan Temple smoothly" Xuanzang bowed to Bi Laolei in front of the temple and thanked Bi Laolei.
"No thanks, I'm so helpful, besides....."
"Senior brother!" At this moment, a young monk walked out of the temple with a broom and saw Xuanzang at a glance.
"Senior Brother Xuanhui!" When Xuanzang saw his junior brother coming out of the temple, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "I heard that the master suddenly fell seriously ill, how is his old man's condition now?" ”
"Master, he has been lying in bed for three days, and he is taking medicine every day, but senior brother, shouldn't you be in the palace of Chang'an City? How did you get back? Xuan Hui put the broom in his hand aside and said.
"I'll talk about this later, I'll go see the master first" Xuanzang didn't have the time to explain the situation to the junior brother, so he entered the temple directly and walked straight to the abbot's meditation room.
"Master, Master" Xuanzang anxiously rushed into the meditation room, and at a glance saw the master lying on the bed in front of him. After the torture of illness, Fa Ming, who was nearly seventy years old, was described as withered at this time, and there was no longer the slightest anger on his face.
"You still can't escape your life after all," Abbot Faming, who was lying on the bed, made a voice like a gossamer.
"Master, when the apprentice left a few days ago, Master was still very healthy, why did he suddenly..."Xuanzang knelt in front of Fa Ming's bed and said with a slight cry.
Fa Ming raised his trembling arm with all his strength, stroked Xuanzang's head like an old father, and said weakly: "Xuanzang, things in life are always changeable, but after all, you will not leave your life, Master, my life is like this, you don't have to be sad."
"Master! Xuanzang, this is chanting for you, you will definitely get better" Xuanzang was about to sit cross-legged and pray for Abbot Faming, but was stopped by Faming.
"It's useless....... Master told you, it's all fate. From the moment you come back, your fate is also doomed, and it will affect your whole life, so you must keep in mind what the teacher says next.........
