Chapter Twenty-Three: Distinguished Guests
Seeing a few slightly familiar faces, Xuanzang couldn't help but sigh deeply. What should come will always come, be prepared for both, and choose which one depends on your performance. Ten times the force is afraid that the bones will be kicked off, but I don't know if the electric shock will go too far, and it will not be good to electrocute people.
The leader was indeed the first believer with the ear to stand up at that time, he waved his hand with a righteous face, asked the others to surround Xuanzang, and then said: "You Diao Min, you still have the face to stay in Chang'an!" ”
Xuanzang said helplessly: "It's such a normal thing, why do you bother with it." ”
Another person said, "Alas, you are rotten from the bottom of your bones, but you will eventually bow to my Buddha." Now you still have a chance to repent, and it's still too late to bow your head and admit your mistakes. Otherwise, we will only have to correct your evil thoughts for the Buddha. ”
"I don't like to hear that." Xuanzang Zhengse said, "Thoughts must not be reversed for others." ”
The leader of the believers shouted impatiently, "What are you going to do with him talking so much, do the right thing." It's called Xuanzang, right? Xuanzang, let me ask you again, do you obey the Buddha? ”
Xuanzang said indifferently: "If you ask what you want to do about this, if you want to do it, just do it." ”
"Chang'an is a civilized person, and we don't engage in fighting, killing, and killing. You answer honestly, do you obey? ”
Xuanzang frowned, and thought: What an old-fashioned method, no way, it's a good thing not to fight, let me play with you.
So he replied: "I said, don't mention that slut to me." Did you not hear it last time, or did you come to disgust me on purpose? ”
The crowd instantly became excited.
"Here we go again, here we go again!"
"Insulting the Buddha several times is really terrible!"
The leader shook the tape recorder in his hand and said coldly: "Xuanzang, this is what you said, the evidence is conclusive!" There is no way to deny this, so everyone escorts him to the overseer, hurry. ”
Xuanzang broke free of the hands on his body in disgust, patted his clothes, and said, "You don't need to catch me, I will leave by myself." ”
"You're bald, crazy enough. Wait until you get to the supervisor and see how arrogant you are! The believers scolded and drove him forward around Xuanzang.
When they came to the gate, two security officers stopped them and shouted, "What the hell, a group of people are making a lot of noise." ”
"There are people who insult the Buddha, and we have come to ask the supervisor to administer justice."
One of the sheriffs said: "Just go directly to the sheriff for such a trivial matter, and the supervisor should not bother him with some unnecessary disputes." ”
"Cheyenne, she is also disrespectful to the Buddha in the first place, and this guy's behavior is too much, and the supervisor must be severely punished!" As he spoke, they began to pull at Xuanzang again and push him towards the door.
The security officer had no choice but to persuade them, and asked patiently: "Okay, let's talk about how he insulted the Buddha first, I'll report to the supervisor, this ......" He suddenly stopped, got closer to observe Xuanzang's appearance carefully, and then said in surprise: "If you are not mistaken, you are Master Xuanzang?" ”
"It's me." Xuanzang replied indifferently.
The security officer suddenly showed a nervous expression, glanced at his companion, violently set up the believers around Xuanzang with a gun, turned around and bowed, and said, "I'm really sorry, Master Xuanzang, I disturbed you." ”
When the believers saw this unexpected scene, they were a little overwhelmed.
"You idlers, go back and work hard! Master Xuanzang is the overseer's honored guest, how can you be so rude. The vigilantes raised their guns and blasted the believers away.
Guest? They all looked at Xuanzang blankly, when did this kid become the overseer's guest?
A security officer said respectfully to Xuanzang: "The master has already rested?" Please, the Overseer has been waiting to see you for a long time. As for these people, we'll take care of it. ”
Xuanzang nodded, and the two of them opened the way and walked out of the crowd.
"Wait!" The guy with the tip of his ear stood up and shouted, "Anyway, this Xuanzang has committed the crime of blasphemy, and we have evidence!" After speaking, he turned on the tape recorder and played Xuanzang's voice.
"This ......" The security officer looked at Xuanzang and was embarrassed.
It is said that it is blasphemy against the Buddha, which is inevitably a bit serious, but Xuanzang's words and deeds are indeed offensive. With such a clear recording as proof, the believers are so excited, it is not that they can rush back in a few words.
The crowd was restless again.
"Let's go inside."
"Yes, we're going to tell the overseer and let him do justice!"
"No, I hear you." A calm voice came from above the stairs in front of the gate.
The people fell silent for a moment, and the two vigilantes snapped to the ground and stood upright, saluting the visitors. The others also folded their hands and pressed their foreheads against their fingertips, and bowed their heads deeply.
Xuanzang also lowered his head according to their appearance, facing the top administrator of the shelter, basic etiquette was still needed.
Li Shimin waved his hand to signal everyone to be exempt from courtesy and walked in front of Xuanzang. At this time, he had recovered from fatigue, his shaved face swept away the decline, heroic, his eyes were like torches, and the whole person exuded a majesty, which made the people facing him unconsciously solemn.
"It's just a slight inappropriateness, and it's not worth making a fuss." Li Shimin didn't say much, only said this sentence, which was regarded as the end of the matter.
Of course, the believers didn't do it, and retorted cautiously and stubbornly: "My lord, Xuanzang is disrespectful to the Buddha. Such a great act of rebellion deserves the punishment of having his tongue pulled out. ”
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Master Xuanzang has just resolved a major crisis and has made great contributions to Chang'an. If the merits and demerits are offset, there is no need to use punishment. Moreover, the master travels all over the world, and his state of mind is quite different, and he may have conflicts with us in terms of beliefs, which need to be understood. I will discuss this matter with him again. Please Master Xuanzang also be a little considerate, and don't have disputes because of the Buddha. ”
Xuanzang nodded politely, in fact, he didn't fail to get over this hurdle, but he just felt that these believers were really annoying, so he did it on purpose.
It seems that Li Shimin is really grateful to him, and personally came forward to excuse him, and gave him such a big step, as a supervisor, he has already shown great sincerity.
It's a pity that some people don't want to go down this step.
"Supervisor, Xuanzang just came to Chang'an four days ago, and he has repeatedly disrespected the Buddha. And the whereabouts are sneaky, and no one is seen all day long. Such a person with an improper mind and a rampant attitude, even if he has merit, should be treated separately and given some due punishment, so as to live up to the rule of law in our Chang'an. The leader of the believers said.
Xuanzang sighed secretly, this person is too bad at talking.
Li Shimin's eyes really lit up, and he said unhappily: "You mean, I have exceeded the law and decided to be biased?" It sounds like I'm blind and reuse bad guys. ”
"Don't dare, just ......"
"Hmph, how dare you say anything sneaky, Xuanzang has been busy with me for the past few days, do you still want to report to you?" Li Shimin whispered slightly angrily, "If it weren't for Master Xuanzang, you wouldn't be able to stand here alive and talk." ”
The believer swallowed his saliva, and still asked without giving up: "But my lord, if it is such a great feat, why haven't we heard of Xuanzang...... What about the master? ”
Li Shimin said coldly: "This is a top secret, and you are not qualified to know it." I listened to the Dharma all day long, and I didn't learn anything good, but I spent my mind on meaningless battles of will! Let's all go back. ”
The believers had no choice, and left in disgrace under the cold gaze of the overseer.
Li Shimin looked at Xuanzang, made a gesture sideways, and smiled: "Let's go in and talk." ”
