In the Zhenjiang boundary of the Tang Dynasty in the east, there is a temple, called Jinshan Temple. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

There is a young monk in this temple, whose legal name is Xuanzang. He has been practicing in the monastery since he was a child, and his master is the famous Elder Fa Ming.

Xuanzang, less intelligent, well-read and strong-minded, happy and horizontal, known as the nine-toed beggar.

Why do you call him a nine-toed beggar? Just because he has a little toe missing from his left foot. Whenever he wore straw sandals to go out in the summer, a group of naughty boys would laugh around him, calling him a nine-toed beggar.

Xuanzang also retorted: "I am a monk, and I am not a beggar, why do you call me a nine-toed beggar." ”

The naughty boys laughed and said, "You hold a bowl, beg along the street, and you have a toe missing, we don't call you a nine-toed beggar, what should you call it?"

Xuanzang said: "The poor monk is a fate, not a begging. ”

The naughty boys didn't believe it, and asked, "Isn't it just begging, what difference can it make?"

Xuanzang was familiar with the scriptures, but he was helpless against a group of vexatious naughty boys, so his nickname slowly spread, and finally everyone knew it. If you want to ask who Xuanzang is, no one may know. But if you ask the nine-toed beggar, it is known to everyone.

When Xuanzang was sixteen years old, he had a strange disease, and he would have a splitting headache every morning, noon, and midday, and every time he had a quarter of an hour of pain. Moreover, every time I have a headache, a voice without the slightest emotion echoes in my brain: "Final Command, go west." Final Order, westbound. ”

Xuanzang was very scared, and he didn't dare to tell others, because he was afraid that others would say that he had fallen into evil. In the end, it really hurt and had no choice, so he had to quietly ask his master, Elder Fa Ming.

Xuanzang said: "Master, the disciple has recently suffered from a strange disease, and he has a headache every day at the hour, noon, and midday, and every time he has a headache, there is a voice echoing in his heart, repeatedly: 'The final order, go west.'" Final Order: Westbound. Now I am very distressed. ”

The elder was taken aback and said in his heart: "The West is the birthplace of my Buddhism. In this matter, I am afraid that there is a deep mystery. ”

Then the elder asked, "Have you ever told anyone?"

Xuanzang said: "No, I'm afraid that others will say that I have fallen into evil." ”

The elder nodded and said, "This matter is not trivial, but even a teacher can't understand the mystery." You think about it a little more when you are a teacher, and then I will give you an answer after thinking about it. Don't tell anyone about it. ”

Xuanzang said: "Every time I get sick, I have a splitting headache, and I was seen twice by my brothers and sisters, they asked me why I was in pain, and I told them that they had a cold. You have taught me since I was a child that I should be an honest and good boy and not to speak. I'm so guilty right now. If it continues like this, it's not an option. ”

The elder said, "Then be it, when you have a headache, find a place to hide so that no one can see it." In doing so, you are not lying, but you are keeping a secret, isn't it the best of both worlds? ”

Xuanzang said: "It's good, but I have to do my homework every day, if I am late, absent from class, or leave early, they will make a small report." ”

The elder smiled: "Don't worry, I am your homeroom teacher and headmaster, no matter how they make a small report, I will not punish you." ”

Xuanzang felt that what the Zen master said was very reasonable, so he agreed.

Xuanzang's illness is two years. Sometimes the pain was so bad that I would ask the Zen master, and every time the Zen master said that he had not yet understood the mystery and asked him to continue waiting.

During this period, some senior brothers also went to the elder to make a small report, saying that Xuanzang was often late, left early, and sometimes even skipped class, but Elder Fa Ming simply ignored this matter. Over time, the people of the whole temple got used to it.

On this day, Xuanzang couldn't stand the pain anymore, so he went to the elder again.

The elder said, "The Western Elysium is the place where my Buddha lives, and it is also the birthplace of my Buddha's sect. Recently, I heard that Mahayana Buddhism is becoming popular in the West, and it is an upgraded version of the Hinayana Buddhism that is now circulating in our Eastern lands. I guess you have something to do with Mahayana Buddhism. ”

Xuanzang asked, "Could it be that the Buddha is cursing me???"

The elder said, "You can't say that! If you are destined to learn scriptures, you should be happy, how can it be said that the Buddha is cursing you?" ”

Xuanzang said: "Okay, I've decided, now I'll go to the West Heaven and get the Mahayana Dharma back." ”

The elder said: "Don't be in a hurry, listen to the teacher and speak slowly." If you want to travel west to learn from the scriptures, you need to report it layer by layer, get the permission of the imperial court, and go through a lot of procedures. ”

Xuanzang Qi said: "I am learning scriptures at my own expense, what does it have to do with the imperial court?"

The elder said: "If you don't get the permission of the imperial court, how can you get the customs clearance documents? If you don't have this clearance document, you are entering the country illegally and you will be deported. ”

Xuanzang Qi said: "What the hell is the customs clearance document?"

The elder said: "This customs clearance document is now a popular saying, which is called a passport to go abroad." ”

Xuanzang said: "I see. So how do you do that?"

The elder said: "You don't have to worry about this, the teacher will apply for you." However, now you still have your father's revenge unavenged, and you haven't rescued your mother, and you can't go to the west to learn the scriptures. ”

Xuanzang said: "Master, didn't you say that the family members saw through the red dust, and the four major ones were empty, why should I go to take revenge?"

The elder said: "The most important thing in my Buddhism is the word 'cause and effect'. And you weren't born to be a monk. Now that you are over, you should have avenged your father and saved your mother, so that you can travel west to learn the scriptures. ”

Xuanzang said: "What the master educates. As a child, he should avenge his father. But how can I avenge this revenge, and how can I save my mother? ”

The elder said: "Your father's surname is Chen, his name is Chen Guangrui, and he was originally the champion of liberal arts appointed by the Tang Wang's imperial pen. Your mother's name is Yin Wenjiao, and she is the daughter of the prime minister of Yin Kaishan. When your father won the top prize in the examination, he crossed the horse and traveled the street, and happened to meet your mother throwing hydrangeas to recruit relatives, and the two of them tied the knot. Later, your father was sent to Jiangzhou to be the governor, and he brought your mother with him. Unexpectedly, on the way, he met the villains Liu Hong and Li Biao. Liu Hong saw that your mother was young and beautiful, so he teamed up with Li Biao to kill your father and snatch your mother. Later, the thief Liu Hong also wore your father's official uniform and took your mother to Jiangzhou to be the governor. Later, when Liu Hong learned that your mother was pregnant with you, he wanted to kill you. Your mother managed to give birth to you, and then found another opportunity to put you on a plank and float down the river. Your mother also bit off the little toe on your left foot as proof of future recognition. When you drifted to Jinshan Temple, I happened to find you, and I took you in. ”

Xuanzang said: "Master, there are too many secret things in this, how can you possibly know?"

The elder said, "When I picked you up, you had your mother's blood book hanging on your chest. All of this I have told you is written by your mother in a blood book. ”

Xuanzang said: "You shouldn't be fooling me!"

The elder wondered, "Huh, how can you think that?"

Xuanzang said: "You said you saw it in the blood book." Do you think that Yin Wenjiao is a weak female streamer, how many taels of blood can she have, and she can write such a long blood book?"

The elder said: "She wrote with a brush dipped in blood. ”

Xuanzang said: "Even if it's written in a fly's head, the blood is not enough, right?"

"That's because I added some rumors that I've heard myself to make it easier for you to understand. Back then, your father was the top student in high school, traveled across the streets, and finally tied the knot with Yin Wenjiao, the daughter of Prime Minister Yin of the dynasty, these things are not secrets, many people know about them. ”

Xuanzang asked, "Does Master have a blood book as proof?"

The elder then took the blood book and asked Xuanzang to look at it. Xuanzang took a closer look and saw that the blood book read: "The concubine is Yin Wenjiao, the wife of Chen Gong Guangrui, the champion of the gold list." (If the amount of blood is insufficient, 3,000 words are omitted here.) The newlywed Yan'er, who went to Jiangzhou with her husband as pregnant, met the thieves Liu Hong and Li Biao on the way. These two killed my husband, forcibly occupied me, and came to Jiangzhou in the name of my husband. (The amount of blood is insufficient, 5,000 words are omitted here.) Liu thief wanted to kill my son, and now he bit a toe as a basis and let him drift down the river. I hope that there will be a day when we will meet again. ”

Xuanzang read the blood book and did not hesitate. He said to the elders, "Master, I wonder if my mother is still alive?"

The elder said: "I have inquired, the current governor of Jiangzhou is still called Chen Guangrui, I think it is the thief Liu Hong who took the name of your father, and your mother Yin Wenjiao is the governor's wife, and she is still alive." ”

Xuanzang said: "That's fine." I'll take the blood book with me now and go to Chang'an to find my grandfather, Prime Minister Yin. If he had known about this, he would have sent a large army to Jiangzhou to rescue my mother and avenge my father. ”

The elder said, "Don't panic, you listen to me first." According to the plot, you first talk to me, then talk to your mother Yin Wenjiao, and then talk to your grandmother Zhang, and finally go to your grandfather. How can you skip the previous task and go straight to your grandfather?"

Xuanzang said: "Master, since you said that my mother is still alive, why do I have to go to Jiangzhou to find out the news? I think that Liu Hong, who is now the governor of Jiangzhou, I went to Jiangzhou to find my mother, isn't that a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? I went directly to my grandfather, brought a large army, rescued my mother, and when the time comes, the mother and son will be reunited, and everyone will be happy, isn't it better?"

The elder said: "You don't play cards according to the rules of the cards, skip so many tasks and don't do it, this will reduce a lot of content, and I'm afraid that even the number of words will not be enough at that time." ”

Xuanzang said: "The number of words is not enough, is it? That's easy to do! Da Zhuang, Second Zhuang, Third Zhuang, Fourth Zhuang, Fifth Zhuang, Sixth Strong, Seven Strong, Eighth Strong, Nine Strong, Ten Strong, Eleventh Strong, Twelve Strong, you all come in and say hello to my master." ”

After speaking, a pack of wild dogs entered outside the door, barking at the elder.

The elder said curiously: "Hey, disciple, your Dharma has become more and more subtle recently! ”

Xuanzang turned around and went out, and seven words floated in from outside the door: "The number of words is not enough, use the dog to make up." ”

Wangwang......

Wangwang......

Elder Fa Ming, died.
