Chapter 131: Let's make it up!
After a few days, the queen finally summoned Xuanzang again, which was another pleasant exchange between guests and hosts. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
During the exchange, Xuanzang accidentally knocked over a wood carving ornament on the table, so he leaned down to pick it up, but a jade talisman fell out of his arms. The jade talisman fell to the ground with a crisp snap.
Xuanzang exclaimed: "Oops!"
The queen said, "Brother Holy Monk, what's the matter?"
Xuanzang hurriedly picked up the jade talisman, and then said: "This is the talisman jade talisman that my mother gave me, and I have always kept it close to me." It's okay, it's okay, it doesn't seem to be broken. ”
The queen said strangely: "Brother Holy Monk, haven't you been a monk since you were a child, why do you still have a mother?"
Xuanzang said: "You only know that I have been a monk since I was a child, but you don't know that my parents are still alive." ”
The queen said, "How can there be such a ruthless parent in this world who abandons their newborn child to the monastery?"
Xuanzang said: "Non-yes, non-yes." My parents were willing to send me to the monastery, and there was a real hardship in this. ”
The queen said, "Your family is very poor, can't you afford to support you?"
Xuanzang said: "No, no. My father was supposed to be the governor of a state, so he could afford to raise him. ”
The queen said: "Since it is a family of eunuchs, how can there be unavoidable hardships? Could it be that your father plotted to rebel and was raided by the king?"
Xuanzang said: "It's not right, it's not right. My father is loyal and patriotic, where will he rebel. ”
The queen said: "Or is it a foreign invasion and the country is ruined?"
Xuanzang said: "This is even more not! I am a strong and powerful Tang Dynasty, and if I don't bully other countries, I have already done my duty, and what country dares to invade." ”
The queen said: "Then I don't understand, since the Tang Dynasty is strong, your father is the governor of a state, and he is loyal and patriotic, then how can there be a last resort?"
Xuanzang said: "Correction, my father was supposed to be the governor of a state, but he hasn't been in office for a day!"
The queen said, "Why is that?"
Xuanzang said: "This matter is a long story. ”
The queen said, "Then tell me about it, I like to listen to stories the most." ”
So Xuanzang began to tell stories with a handful of snot and tears.
He said, "Well, we have to start at the beginning." My family was originally very poor, living in a thatched hut and often without food. My grandfather died young, and my grandmother worked hard to bring up my father. Fortunately, my father was talented and diligent, and he was admitted to the top of the competition. The Tang Emperor valued him very much and appointed him as governor. So he took my pregnant mother to take office, but he didn't expect to meet water thieves on the way. The water thieves killed my father and robbed my mother......"
The queen interrupted, "Wait a minute, didn't you just say that your parents are alive, and now you say that your father was killed?"
Xuanzang said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, you listen to me finish my words slowly." The thief robbed my father of his official seal and uniform, and assumed my father's identity to be the governor. My mother was pregnant with me at the time. Later, she was afraid that the thieves would harm me, so after giving birth to me, she packed me up with a wooden basin and threw me into the river and drifted down the river, so I also had a nickname, called Jiang Liu'er. ”
The queen said, "I see. And what about later?"
Xuanzang said: "Later, my master rescued me from the river and raised me, and I became a monk in the temple. But when I was a child, I was often bullied, and they scolded me so badly. ”
The queen said: "You have such a pitiful background, do they still want to scold you?"
Xuanzang said: "It's not." I remember one time, I had a fight with a wine and meat monk, and he scolded me for a lot of nasty things without hitting me. Later, I went back and asked Master, and Master told me about my background. ”
The queen said, "How can this wine and meat monk curse people like this! ”
Xuanzang said: "Although what he scolded is vulgar, it is also true. I really didn't know my name at the time, and I didn't know who my parents were. Later, when Master told me about my background and showed me my mother's blood book, I realized that I had borne such a great vendetta. ”
The queen said: "It turns out that your life experience is so tortuous and bizarre. And what about later?"
Xuanzang said: "I'm just a powerless little monk, and my enemy is the governor of a state, I can't fight him at all." When I think of my father who was killed, my mother who suffered, I feel so sad, so sad. I want revenge, I want to save my mother, but I can't do anything about it!
The queen wept and said, "I have never experienced this. But I see you crying so sadly, and I feel so sour in my heart. ”
Xuanzang thought to himself: "It turns out that I said so much in vain! It was completely because of tears that moved her!"
Xuanzang continued to tell the story, but he only mentioned his father's background, but did not mention his mother's background.
As for the reason, it is very simple, because his grandfather is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. If the mother's life experience is also told, then the story will not be so tragic.
This is the so-called Spring and Autumn brushwork.
Xuanzang continued: "Later, I chanted and prayed in front of the statue of the Buddha, hoping that the Buddha could help me, but I didn't expect the Buddha to really manifest himself! He agreed to my prayer, but also gave me a task, asking me to go to the west to retrieve the scriptures and the eastern soil and promote the Dharma. ”
The queen said, "Did he really save your mother?"
Xuanzang said: "He not only saved my mother, but also resurrected my father and punished the wicked. ”
The queen said, "That's great! Now that your parents are saved, you don't have to go and learn the scriptures!"
Xuanzang said: "Although my parents are saved, the Buddha is ......."
At this moment, a thunderclap exploded outside the hall, and Xuanzang couldn't help but shrink his neck.
The queen, however, did not seem to hear anything, and asked, "What is wrong with the Buddha?"
Xuanzang said: "But the Buddha taught us that we must be trustworthy." At the same time, I also hope to retrieve the scriptures and add blessings and longevity to my parents. They are so miserable, and I hope they can live happily for a few more years. ”
The queen said, "Well...... That ......"
Xuanzang pretended to be confused and said, "What's wrong with that?"
The queen said, "I still want you to stay." ”
Xuanzang said: "If I stay, I won't be able to learn the scriptures." ”
The queen bit her lip as if she was making some big decision.
Finally, she asked, "What about you after you finish taking the scriptures, and will you come back?"
Xuanzang replied without hesitation: "After I finish taking the scriptures, I will definitely come back!"
The queen said, "You can't lie to me, do you?"
Xuanzang said: "When I come back and pass by here, I still have to look for your visa." ”
When the queen was silent for a while, her eyes were red and she said, "Okay, I've decided." Three days later, I personally set up a banquet to send my brother to the west to learn the scriptures, and I wish my brother a successful study of the scriptures as soon as possible and get what he wants!"
Xuanzang couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he saw the resoluteness on the queen's beautiful face, and thought, "Is it really good for me to be like this?"
After chatting for a while, Xuanzang said goodbye to the queen and returned to the post house. Wukong and the others saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
Xuanzang said: "Don't say anything, I just want to be quiet now." After that, I went straight back to my room.
Wukong said: "Master wants to be quiet again. ”
Bajie said: "Could it be that Jing Jing is the queen's nickname?"
Wukong said: "Bajie, Master wants to be quiet, do you want to be true, Lianlian, Ai Ai?"
Bajie jumped up and said in a trembling voice: "Monkey head, don't drag me down if you want to die!"
Wukong said: "Just ask, why are you so excited?" ”
Bajie turned around and left, shouting as he walked: "Brother Monkey is crazy! Brother Monkey is crazy!"
Three days later, the queen really held a banquet for Xuanzang and others, and the atmosphere was extremely gloomy during the whole process.
After the banquet, the queen personally sent everyone out of the city for more than 20 miles.
Xuanzang and the queen said goodbye, and there was a sudden fairy music fluttering in the air, and with the accompaniment of the music, I vaguely heard someone singing:
These hands of mine
How can I embrace you forever
Please think clearly
Collect affection as soon as possible
......
Just let this relationship
Died in the wind
You and I are strangers hurrying by
......
Xuanzang looked up at the sky and asked in surprise, "What's the situation?"
Wukong said: "Could it be that this is the legendary TV series episode? And this tune sounds so familiar!"
Wu Jing said in one word: "Isn't it the tune of "Drifting Snow"!"
Bajie exclaimed: "Could it be that this is also planned by the Buddha?
