Hearing Xuanzang say this, King Tang was surprised: "It turns out that holding this water and land festival can also add blessings and longevity to people?"

Xuanzang said: "Of course you can." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoDoing this puja is an act of good deeds and accumulation, which naturally brings blessings and longevity. If the ordinary people hear about this law, they can increase their life expectancy by three years. If a supreme minister hears about this method, he can increase the number of life expectancy of two or three to six. Like Your Majesty, as the emperor of the people, you can increase the number of lifespans of three or three and nine. The nine, the extreme number, also corresponds to His Majesty's identity. ”

Tang Wang was pleasantly surprised: "It's so magical, isn't it better than taking the pill!"

Xuanzang said: "This is nothing. If you use Mahayana Buddhism to do this water and land conference, the effect is not the same. When ordinary people hear about this method, they can increase their longevity by one, three, and six. If you are a great minister, you can increase your life expectancy by 232, and if Your Majesty hears about this law, you can increase your life expectancy by 338. ”

King Tang left the case and shouted: "Master Xuanzang, which teacher taught you mathematics, and you can actually calculate the result of three times three equals eighteen!!"

Xuanzang lowered his eyebrows and said, "This Mahayana Buddhism is an upgraded version of Hinayana Buddhism. If you can't calculate the result of 338, then what's the difference with Hinayana Buddhism?"

Tang Wang was overjoyed and said: "This multiplication is good, this multiplication is good, I want this multiplication!"

Xuanzang said: "This Mahayana Buddhism is still in the West Heaven Buddha, and the poor monks have not yet learned it. ”

Tang Wang said: "Then what the Master said to the front that he wants to go west to learn the scriptures is to take this Mahayana Buddhism, right?"

Xuanzang replied: "Exactly." ”

King Tang said eagerly: "Then ask Master Xuanzang to retrieve this scripture for the widow! If you are short of money and people, just tell me." How about I send 500,000 elite soldiers to escort you west to learn the scriptures?"

Xuanzang said in his heart: "In the past, I said that I wanted to learn the scriptures at your own expense, but you refused to live or die, but now you are asking for money and money, and you want people to give people, is it possible that the sun is coming out of the west today?"

So he replied: "Your Majesty, traveling west to learn scriptures is important in your sincerity. If Your Majesty sends so many soldiers to escort me, it will not be a scripture, but a scripture. ”

When King Tang heard this, he also felt reasonable, so he asked, "What about the 50,000 elite soldiers?"

Xuanzang said: "It's more, it's more." ”

King Tang asked again: "How about three thousand elite soldiers?"

Xuanzang said: "It's still too much." ”

Tang Wang said: "Master, this is not good, that is not good, how many people do you want to take with you?"

Xuanzang said: "The poor monk has no talent as a commander, where can he bring so many people? There are two or three people who carry the burden and lead the horse, which is enough." ”

Tang Wang said: "Since the mage said so, then it depends on you." But there is a small question in the hearts of the widows. ”

Xuanzang said: "Your Majesty may wish to say it clearly." ”

Tang Wang said: "What if the Venerable Master first uses this Hinayana Dharma to do a water and land puja, and then uses Mahayana Buddhism to do a water and land puja after coming back from the scriptures in the future?"

Xuanzang said directly: "The effect can be superimposed. ”

Tang Wang was overjoyed, and silently calculated in his heart: "Twenty years of yang longevity have been added to the underworld before, and now nine more years are added, that is twenty-nine years." When Xuanzang returns, add another eighteen years, that is forty-seven years of life. The more Tang Wang thought about it, the happier he became.

After the calculation stopped, Tang Wang asked again: "Master thinks, when is the best time to do this water and land conference?"

Xuanzang replied: "The sooner the better." If it's convenient, then tomorrow. ”

Tang Wang Zhun played.

The joy of King Tang and Xuanzang's conversation, before he knew it, it was almost noon. Tang Wang said: "It's almost noon today, and the mage doesn't need to go back, so let's dine with me." ”

Where would Xuanzang agree, and excused himself: "The poor monk feels unwell today, and he needs to go back to rest and rest, so he won't disturb Your Majesty." ”

Tang Wang said: "I heard that the mage was in prison a few days ago, and I think he suffered some hardships and dragged his body down. Now you go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to rest and rest, and then I will send the imperial doctor to check your pulse. ”

Xuanzang saw that King Tang had allowed it, and he was not verbose, and said: "Your Majesty is kind and touching, and the poor monk remembers it in his heart. Then he knelt down and retreated, and went home with a headache.

Speaking of this water and land puja, King Tang had actually prepared it a long time ago, just waiting for the person who presided over it to appear. After Xuanzang left, the king of Tang issued a decree to open the altar tomorrow, perform the water and land puja, and go to the meeting on time with the princess and prince, the prince and the minister.

The next day, the wind and the sun were beautiful, the water waves were not prosperous, and Xuanzang ascended to the altar to preach the Fa. I saw that his tongue was bright lotus, first reciting the "Sutra of Life and Death" for a while, then talking about "Anbang Tianbao Seal" for a while, and then announcing the "Persuasion Cultivation Volume" for a while, and everyone in the audience was fascinated.

The Bodhisattva leads the Shore Walker to stand in the clouds. The Bodhisattva said, "Come with the Heavenly Maiden." Then the goddesses came with baskets of flowers. Xuanzang spoke wonderfully about Hinayana on the altar, the goddess scattered flowers in the clouds and fell, the whole venue was full of Sanskrit sounds, the fragrance of flowers hit people, everyone worshipped, all said miracles. The lecture lasted two hours, and the victory meeting ended smoothly.

After the festival was over, the king of Tang was very happy, and he was ordered to return to Luan, and Xuanzang also returned to his house to rest. The Bodhisattva said to Hui An: "Now that this task is almost completed, I will go to meet with that Xuanzang for a while in the evening." After finishing speaking, he also took Hui'an back to the temple to live in seclusion.

At night, Xuanzang was meditating in the room, and suddenly saw the room full of light.

In the midst of his surprise, the Bodhisattva appeared in the image of a kind old woman.

Xuanzang saw that the Bodhisattva's law was strict, and he suddenly felt calm. He asked, "Where are you sacred, and what are you doing here?"

The Bodhisattva said, "I am the Avalokiteshvara of the South China Sea. Now that you are about to travel west, I will come to meet you and give you two Buddhist treasures. ”

Xuanzang said: "Is it really a Bodhisattva?"

The Bodhisattva smiled and said, "Belief is true, and if you don't believe, you are false." True or false, it depends on one mind. If it is as it is, it is nothing. ”

Xuanzang had an epiphany in his heart, no longer had doubts, and bowed down and said: "Disciples and laymen, seeing the Bodhisattva's Dharma today, how fortunate is it, ask for a signature, is it okay?"

The Bodhisattva said: "Xuanzang, you can't be contemptuous, wait until the future when you get back the true scriptures and achieve positive results, you and I are in front of the Buddha, and there are more opportunities to meet." ”

Xuanzang heard the Bodhisattva mention the Buddha, and sighed: "It seems that the disciple's headache is really the Buddha's means." ”

The Bodhisattva knew that what Xuanzang said was exactly what the Buddha said that day, and he explained: "You don't have to blame the Buddha, he just reminded you to obtain the true scriptures as soon as possible, so that you can achieve positive results as soon as possible." ”

Xuanzang sighed: "The Bodhisattva misunderstood, where would Xuanzang blame the Buddha, but he felt that the Dharma was boundless, so he sighed." ”

The Bodhisattva smiled and said, "Where are these Buddha's supernatural powers?" In order for you to obtain the sutras smoothly, the Buddha has many arrangements, and you will understand in the future. However, there is one thing you need to remember: you can ride a horse when you go to the west, but you must not take a flying machine or anything like that, and you must not cheat, otherwise it will be treated as invalid. ”

After speaking, the Bodhisattva gave Xuanzang the brocade robe and the nine-ring tin rod, and explained in detail the wonders of these two treasures, and Xuanzang thanked him.

At the time of parting, Xuanzang said again: "The disciple has been raised and cared for by his master Elder Fa Ming since he was a child, and later he died because of me, and I feel deeply guilty. Now that he is still in his golden body, he asks the Bodhisattva for mercy and helps him return to his yang. ”

The Bodhisattva said: "My Buddhism has come true with silence, and this stinky skin is not a pity." But since Xuanzang is invited, I will do as you wish. ”

Xuanzang bowed and thanked him.

What should be talked about, all talked, what should be sent, all sent, the Bodhisattva still went back to the temple to hide.

The next day, the Tang King sent a messenger to Xuanzang, asking him not to be anxious, and to wait for his body to recover before setting a date, and to send a thousand years of ginseng.

Xuanzang thought to himself, where do I have any illness, I really have to nest in the house, then it will be fatal! So he asked the messenger to reply on his behalf, saying that his body was about to be well and he could set off at any time.

After a short time, the messenger came again and sent a message, saying that it was advisable to travel after three days, and the date of the trip was set.

Three days later, Taizong set up a dynasty, gathered all the ministers, wrote a customs clearance document, covered it with a jade seal, and signed a passport abroad. gave Xuanzang a golden rice bowl - a purple gold bowl, which means that Xuanzang is also a person who eats imperial grain. Then give a white horse, a number of real money, and travel supplies, etc., which will be carried by the two entourages who have been arranged. Xuanzang was overjoyed and thanked the Holy Grace.

After everything was finished, the king of Tang sent Xuanzang to the outside of Chang'an City, and ordered someone to serve wine, pour a glass for himself and Xuanzang, raise a glass to each other, and asked, "Does the mage have a nickname?"

Xuanzang said: "The poor monk is a monk, and there has never been. ”

Tang Wang said: "I heard your senior brother say that when you were practicing in Jinshan Temple, you had to hide from cats three times a day. I will give the Master a nickname, and I will call it Sanzang. ”

Xuanzang's face immediately darkened, this Tang Wang, he really can't open any pot, and he actually sent someone to touch his own details. But now Xuanzang is in a hurry to set off, where can he take care of those, so he has to thank him and say: "Thank you, Your Majesty for the number." However, the poor monk has not been able to drink alcohol since he was a child, so this wine is exempt. ”

Tang Wang said: "Today is an unusual day, you must drink it, and this cup of vegetarian wine is made by me for you, so don't shirk it." Xuanzang didn't dare not accept it, so he had to thank him.

Xuanzang was in a hurry to leave, but Tang Wang was chatting, and pulled Xuanzang and asked, "I don't know when the mage will come back?"

Xuanzang cherished the words like gold: "Only in three years, go back to the kingdom." ”

King Tang ordered someone to send another object, and Xuanzang took a closer look, but it was a snuffbox.

Tang Wang introduced: "Although this is a snuff bottle, it is not snuff. ”

Xuanzang Qi said: "It's not snuff, so what is it?"

Tang Wang said: "This is contained, but the fertile soil of my Eastern Soil and the Tang Dynasty, the mage wears it on his body, and occasionally takes it out to smell it, which has two benefits: it can relieve the pain of homesickness, and it can cure the disease of water and soil." I gave you this snuff bottle in the hope that the master would understand: 'I would rather love a bottle of soil in my hometown than ten thousand taels of gold in another country.' 'Ahh ”

The Master was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked: "Your Majesty, what virtue and how can a poor monk dare to be so favored? ”

Tang Wang said: "I am very close to the mage, and when I am leaving, I feel that there are a lot of confidants who can't finish talking, helpless, helpless." ”

The Master said, "Your Majesty, when I come back from learning the scriptures, I would like to have a long talk with Your Majesty with candles." ”

Tang Wang said again: "I am about to separate, and I suddenly have an idea. ”

The mage said, "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

Tang Wang said: "In order to retrieve the true scriptures, Master Jin Jian is not afraid of a long journey, which is really admirable." I would like to be brothers with you, you and I will be allied with wine, and I do not want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I wish to die on the same day of the same month. From now on, I'll call you a royal brother, how about it?"

The hidden message of King Tang's words is: I have lived a long time, but you are still young. If you covet the riches of another country, and do not retrieve the true scriptures for me, after twenty-nine years, I will die, and you will not want to live.

In fact, King Tang has calculated that if this brother's oath is established, since he can live for twenty-nine more years, then Xuanzang will not be able to die early. Its intentions are not profound.

Xuanzang is a monk, he didn't care much about life and death, he just thought: "Okay, you Tang Taizong, the maid at night and night, you still want the royal brother in the daytime, and take advantage of me, this is too shameless!"

Thinking of this, Xuanzang replied: "Your Majesty is the emperor, the respect of the Ninety-Five, the body of ten thousand gold, the life of the true dragon, how dare the poor monk become brothers with His Majesty, it is really a torture for the poor monk." ”

Tang Wang said: "Royal brother." ”

Xuanzang said: "Poor monks don't dare to be. ”

Tang Wang said: "Royal brother." ”

Xuanzang said: "The poor monk is afraid. ”

Tang Wang said: "Royal brother." ”

Xuanzang said: "The poor monk's number, Xuanzang is on and down." ”

Tang Wang said: "Royal brother." ”

Xuanzang said: "Brother Yu." ”

Tang Wang said: "Royal brother." ”

Xuanzang said: "Brother Yu." ”

Brothers, friends and brothers, everyone is happy!

Xuanzang called Brother Yu a few times, and felt that his psychological balance was much better, so he said goodbye to Tang Taizong and went west.

The Bodhisattva stood at the head of the cloud and commanded: "The first episode of Journey to the West has officially started filming." ”

A few monks and nuns flashed out from the side, set up the equipment, and officially started up.
