Chapter 11 The King of a Kingdom Goes Out of the City to Greet Him

When Zhu Wuneng sealed the messenger of the Pure Altar, Sun Xiaobao also began to look for Fangcun Mountain, and he was deeply impressed by the description of the vicinity of Fangcun Mountain in Journey to the West, 'Thousands of peaks are lined with halberds, and ten thousand people open the screen.' Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info 'This shows that Fangcun Mountain is not a lonely mountain, but a large mountain range, with this understanding, the scope can naturally be reduced a lot, even so, he will not be able to control the clouds to find it is a long process.

Let's talk about Xuanzang first, his bags were snatched away by his big apprentice Shi Pantuo, and he was hungry and dizzy after only one day.

The desert is different from the Tang Dynasty, and there is nowhere to go if you want to fast. At the beginning of the fasting, the people of the Tang Dynasty in Guazhou heard that Xuanzang went to the west to learn scriptures, and the sheepskin water bag that he kindly gave him was still in his bag, and he was on Shi Pantuo's body at this time, and wanted to drink water, not to mention the big rivers, there was not even a stream, if you want to say Xiaoshuiwang, it is only in the rare oasis in the desert, since it is rare, it is normal to go out of hundreds of miles and not find an oasis.

The weather was unusually dry, fortunately, the gold sore medicine of the Tang Army was really good medicine, Xuanzang's arrow wound scabbed over in one day, and without the arrow wound dragging his legs, Xuanzang's march could be a little faster.

For four days, the mage who had not eaten the water and rice was hungry and thirsty, and he was exhausted, and finally fainted under the sand dunes.

It is also the good luck of the mage, how rare it is to rain in the desert, some people have even lived on the edge of the desert and have never seen rain in their lives, this is the fourth day when Xuanzang entered the desert, there was a cloud floating in the sky, black clouds, look at the gray below, it seems to be raining.

The wind rose and blew Xuanzang's robe, but Xuanzang really had no strength, so he just lay on the ground, letting the clouds come and rain.

The rain fell into the mage's mouth, and the bean-sized raindrops hit the mage's face and tongue with pain, but the pain of thirst made the mage insist on opening his mouth and closing his eyes to drink the raindrops from heaven greedily.

When the clouds went to the sunny day, Xuanzang barely sat up, rested for a long time before regaining a little strength, got up, carefully shook off the wet sand on the robe, and continued to run west.

After another two days, Xuanzang's lips were chapped and bleeding, his eyes were blank, and now he was purely relying on his will, advancing in the dry scorching sun and desolate desert.

Turning over the sand dunes with one foot deep and one foot shallow, Xuanzang was no longer powerless, and planted his head from the top of the dune, tumbling and rolling down to the bottom of the dune, and the person also fainted.

I don't know how long it has been, Xuanzang woke up from his daze, opened his eyes, although there was all kinds of unwillingness in his eyes, he had no strength to move forward after all, he could only lie like a dead dog, waiting for the summons of the soul envoy.

"God is going to kill me!"

Helpless words, in the unwilling eyes in his eyes, a touch of green came into his eyes, Xuanzang's brain was still confused, and he didn't take it seriously, and only reacted after a long time, green! grass! oasis!!!

Xuanzang was amazed when he widened his eyes and saw that it was indeed an oasis, could it be that God wanted to help him complete his journey to learn scriptures? It rained after fainting for the first time, and let himself find the oasis for the second time.

The mage had no strength to stand up, so he crawled over, and whether it was delicious or not, he grabbed a handful of grass and put it in his mouth, and swallowed it after chewing it a few times.

Climb forward again, there is a small puddle more than ten zhang away, the grass along the way was all pulled by Xuanzang to eat, Xuanzang also became more and more powerful, and finally climbed to the edge of the puddle, his hands were in the mud and sand, his head stretched directly to the water surface, drinking the water in the puddle like an animal drinking water.

After drinking a stomach of water, Xuanzang gave up, turned over and got out of the puddle, lay directly on the mud and sand on the edge of the puddle, and rested on his back to the sky.

With a rainy day and the good fortune of falling into the oasis, Xuanzang finally walked out of the terrible desert after ten days.

In the past ten days, Xuanzang was stunned by a white fat monk, who was even starved and sunburned, and he lost more than 20 pounds.

The moment he saw the living person, Xuanzang was stunned and was closer than seeing his relatives, until the frightened shepherdess heard about Xuanzang's experience, so she put her mind at ease, and kindly gave Xuanzang food, tried to let Xuanzang bathe, and even helped Xuanzang wash his clothes.

Xuanzang is also haggard, this sleep slept for a day and two nights, a full twenty hours, and when he woke up to see a family of five gathered by the shepherdess, the husband and wife plus the shepherdesss and her two younger brothers, Xuanzang was naturally grateful, and after saying goodbye, he took the leather kettle and fasting given by the shepherdess's family on the road.

A month later, Xuanzang came to Gaochang City, the capital of Gaochang Kingdom, standing on the avenue outside the city, looking at it from a distance, Xuanzang was a little confused, what day is today? Could it be that there are foreign emperors here?

A team of knights galloped over, saw Tang Seng dismount and saluted: "My lord Emperor Gaochangguo heard that there are Tang monks here, and specially led more than 30,000 people in the city, 3,400 monks, to greet him outside the city, and respectfully ask the master to get on the horse and go to talk to my lord." ”

"Are you here to pick me up?" Xuanzang was pleasantly surprised, but he couldn't believe it, this was greeted by the emperor himself!

"It's the master! In the past month, there have been several waves of fast horses reporting the news of the master's itinerary every day, and it is definitely not wrong. The leader who took the lead in heavy armor and a cherry helmet said affirmatively.

"Xuanzang has what virtue and how can he be, he actually asked His Majesty to go out of the city in person, the general quickly helped the poor monk to get on the horse, and the poor monk went to ask His Majesty for his guilt!"

Being helped on the horse, Xuanzang rode the horse and galloped, a mile of land was Xuanzang's fast horse whip in an instant, looking at the dragon not far away, Xuanzang hurriedly jumped off the horse, stumbled and almost fell, quickly ran to the emperor's royal car, knelt down on the ground and shouted: "How can the poor monk He De, actually work His Majesty's body of ten thousand gold out of the city to greet him, Xuanzang is terrified, and I implore Your Majesty to punish the crime!"

"Master, please get up!" Emperor Ju Wentai of Gaochang Kingdom picked up Xuanzang and said: "I Gaochang Kingdom and a country all believe in my Buddha, a month ago I listened to the performance of the hundred officials, there are Tang monks here, I can't wait to see the monks with wings, I have not been allowed to go out of the city because of the world, fortunately I met today, this is just to go out of the city to welcome, I am still afraid of neglecting the master, what is the crime of the master?"

The two talked for a long time, and then Ju Wentai personally introduced several senior monks in the city, queens, princes, prime ministers, marshals and others in the city, and finally took Master Xuanzang together, and the two took the dragon back to the city, and after returning to the city, the royal banquet was opened.

At night, the whole city can't help it, from the palace nobles to the common people, fireworks everywhere to celebrate.

It is also Master Xuanzang who has worked hard to come, read the scriptures for 14 years, and finally was not liked by the Tang Dynasty, after thousands of miles away, he almost died several times, and came to this Fanbang that respects the Buddha and reveres the Tang Dynasty.
