The people of Chenjiazhuang, who came one step later, stood on the bank of the Tongtian River and looked to the east, although they saw only an empty blue sky, they seemed to believe that Master Sanzang felt their gaze.

The sun is shining high.

It's long gone.

"Ugh."

After a while, Chen Cheng sighed, turned around and said to the villagers behind him: "Okay, don't look at it, it's too late, it's too late, people are driving the clouds, I'm afraid they have all returned to Datang at this time." ”

Chen Guanbao and a scale of gold saluted respectfully to the east, but they could not hide their disappointment.

If it weren't for Master Sanzang passing by Chenjiazhuang and subduing the inspiration king who occupied the Tongtian River, the two sisters and brothers would have died in the belly of the fish long ago.

When Master Sanzang went west, he said that when he passed by Chenjiazhuang, he would come to the village as a guest, and they had been preparing for several years for this purpose, just to entertain the Sanzang master and apprentice. Unexpectedly, I missed it.

Gooo

And there was a vision in the water, and it was the river god who was in the river that went to heaven.

The people in Chenjiazhuang hurriedly saluted each other, and the river god naturally did not dare to slack off, especially Chen Guanbao and a scale of gold were still there, so he was not in a panic and returned the salute, so he said slowly: "You don't have to be anxious. Master Sanzang said that he had obtained the true scriptures and would be sent back to Chang'an urgently, and then he would return to Lingshan again. When everything is satisfied, we will fulfill our promises. ”

When the people in Chenjiazhuang heard this, they immediately smiled.

Datang, Chang'an.

Li Shimin, the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, was reinstated by Wang Xuance, and knew that Sanzang had gone to Lingshan and would return to Beijing in the near future, so he lived directly in Wangjing Tower in the past few days.

This Wangjing Lou actually has a history, it is the year of Zhenguan thirteen years of September three days before the first three days to send Tang monks out of the city, listen to the three Tibetan when they left the words of the short three years to return, so Zhenguan 16 years of September, the Tang Dynasty son Li Shimin waited outside the city for more than a month, just waiting for the royal brother to return.

Unfortunately, there was no news.

Thanks to the timely arrival of envoys from the Baoxiang Kingdom, the Wuji Kingdom and the Chechi Kingdom, Li Shimin knew that the imperial brother's westward journey was not only unhindered, but also almost "opened up the territory and expanded the territory", which made him feel at ease, and also asked those Xuanjia iron horsemen who were ready to go west at any time to stand still for the time being.

This scene can bluff the three kingdoms and say in private, thanks to our friendship with Master Sanzang, there is never any bad intentions, otherwise. Disaster is coming!

It is also after the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin, the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the official of the Ministry of Labor, built a Wangjing Building outside Chang'an Pass, and came here to live here for a month every September.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was extraordinary, and he led his troops to gallop on the battlefield in the south. The palace may be able to trap other emperors, but it will definitely not stop him.

Where I am, I am the country.

Throughout the ages, there have been very few emperors who can speak of this.

He is in the Wangjing Tower, then the Wangjing Tower is the emperor's palace, and the hundred officials should have traveled with the car, but now, the hundred officials have been left in the palace to assist the prince in governing the government, and only Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance accompanied him.

"Your Majesty, look west!"

Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui are both at the top of the human race, and at a glance they saw the sky full of mist and bursts of fragrant wind in the west, so they immediately beckoned His Majesty, who was practicing calligraphy in the building, to take a look.

Li Shimin has the spirit of Ziwei Emperor, and he is extraordinary, and when he looks at it, he sees the auspicious blessings from the west, and he shouts with joy: "My royal brother is here!" Hahaha-"

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin laughed, went down the attic, and waved to the two courtiers: "Two Aiqing, and go with me to greet each other." ”

Seeing that he was about to reach the boundary of Chang'an, Fahai directly stopped the cloud head and said to a few disciples: "For the teacher to return to his hometown, it is disrespectful and rude to drive the clouds, and press the cloud head, let's go over." ”

Of course, a few disciples had no opinion.

Especially the Great Sage, he also said with a smile: "Master's row is huge, and there is Emperor Ziwei in front of him who rushes straight to Xiaohan, but it blocks the cloud road."

"Datang is different from other countries, a few of you. After a while, I will see Your Majesty, and I must be thoughtful. Fahai gave them a rare order.

"Yes." As a senior brother, the Great Sage naturally expressed his position on behalf of several junior brothers, and responded in one bite: "I will not lose my master's face." ”

The five masters and apprentices went in the direction of the Wangjing Tower.

Li Shimin also led the two Aiqing to meet them halfway, and when he looked at Sanzang, he walked a few steps closer, and when he saw Sanzang to see him first, he reached out and held Sanzang's raised hand, and then tightened it hard, at this moment there seemed to be a thousand words to say, but when it came to his mouth, he only said one sentence in the end: "Brother Yu has worked hard all the way." ”

"Let's go, go home."

Li Shimin took Master Sanzang's hand, and did not go to the Wangjing Tower, but went directly to Chang'an City.

"Your Majesty." Fahai paused slightly.

"Huh?" Li Shimin turned his face and glared at Sanzang.

Fahey paused, and had no choice but to say, "Brother Huang." ”

"Haha-" Li Shimin smiled again, "Why can't you have been gone for fourteen years and have been separated from me for the rest of your life?" ”

"How dare the little monk."

"Hmph." Li Shimin said: "Don't you know when I do? Along the way, in order to win over the royal brother, the lords of the countries of the Western Continent have exhausted their scheming to form a righteous alliance with you and take charge of the country together; There are also those who want to worship you as a teacher or a national teacher, and entrust you to the government; There are even those who take a country as a dowry and recruit you to be the lord of the country. That day, the Emperor of Zhu Kingdom made a good calculation, first to let my royal brother be his son-in-law, what else did he want to do? ”

After listening to His Majesty's words, Fahai inevitably recalled the piles and piles along the way, and when he heard his last sentence, he pretended to be angry. He still explained: "Your Majesty Mingjian, what Your Majesty said, the little monk did not follow it." ”

The words were so, but his heart was still warm.

If it weren't for His Majesty's constant concern, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known about these things.

In fact, Sanzang and His Majesty are not familiar with each other, but because of the scriptures, there is such a Jinlan righteousness.

If Fahai himself is said to be the first time to see this eloquent emperor.

After all, he was from the "Later Song Dynasty", and it was inevitable that he would make some comparisons with the emperor surnamed Zhao at that time, but after a while, he silently recited a few sins in his heart, but he should not insult Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty like this.

This is also unavoidable.

Fahai is a friend of the same way, and they are all senior monks of the Southern Song Dynasty.

"The poor monk is guilty of great sins." Fahai spoke in his heart at this moment: "If it weren't for the fact that all eyes were on slaying demons and eliminating demons back then, maybe I should have seen more of the world."

Although the cultivators do not stain the court, all the monks of our generation should do something and not do something.

And Fahai once heard a sentence - "small things can be changed, but the big trend is difficult to violate", which is used to describe the rules of heaven.

Thinking of this, Fahai made a decision in his heart: if the wheel of history will still move forward according to the established trajectory, then why don't he try to use this pair of mantis arms to lead this wheel a little more off?

Just like this trip to the west, haven't some of the things you know have changed?

After a few words, the two sides have become acquainted, and the personality charm and methods of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin are needless to mention, and he treats Sanzang with sincerity.

How could Fahai not tell the difference?

His Majesty's enthusiasm was gladly accepted by Fahey.

Wangjinglou is still some distance away from Chang'an City, and the two of their "brothers" are walking and talking in front of them, Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui naturally greet the Great Sage and others.

As for saying that the Great Sage and the Eight Commandments are not human, for the two of them, it is ordinary.

One has been abroad for a long time, and demons and monsters are not uncommon; A battlefield veteran, there are not a few demons who die in his hands. Relatively speaking, the Great Sage and the Eight Commandments are also considered human figures.

Whether it is Wang Xuance or Xue Rengui, they are both heroic people, and they are quite temperamental to the great sage. Especially the Great Sage even saw the extraordinaryness of this General Xue, which was the White Tiger Star in the sky.

It is not the White Tiger Star Monarch on the God List, but the White Tiger Star who accompanied Zi Weixing to the earth.

As for the emperor's ceremonial drive, it is still further back.

At this time, His Royal Highness the Prince, who was in charge of the country, issued instructions one after another, preparing to open the city gate and lead hundreds of officials out of Chang'an to meet the Son of Heaven and the royal brother.

Li Shimin may also be controlling the pace of pace, and when he saw the smoke and dust outside Chang'an City from a distance, he knew that there was a move in the city, so he was not in a hurry to leave, and he had to give the city some time to prepare, and it was just right to see how well the prince coped.

It was not difficult for Fahai to sense His Majesty's intentions, so he happily cooperated, and his steps gradually slowed down in line with His Majesty's rhythm.

"Brother Xian." Li Shimin paused for a moment, but at this moment, he turned around, looked at the people who were getting along well behind him, and asked with a smile: "Presumably these are a few high-ranking disciples, right?" ”

"This is a couple of scoundrels." Fahai beckoned to them, and when they came closer, Fahai said to His Majesty, "Your Majesty doesn't know, when I went out of Chang'an, when I passed by Shuangchaling, the two disciples who followed were eaten by the demons in the ridge, and they were my apprentices on the way. ”

"This is the great apprentice Sun Wukong." Fahai led the Great Sage to his side and introduced it to His Majesty.

"I also know the name of the Monkey King who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago." Li Shimin arched his hand towards the Great Sage.

Seeing that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was going to salute, the Great Sage hurriedly rushed to the front, made a Buddhist salute, and said: "I have seen Your Majesty, my grandson is polite. It's just that the matter of making a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, please don't mention it again in the future. ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin asked curiously: "Why is this?" ”

"At that time, my grandson was young and vigorous, and he acted recklessly. And it's not a good name. ”

"Young and vigorous." Li Shimin listened to it and said: "Shouldn't this be the atmosphere of young people?" When I was young, I also followed my father to raise troops against the Sui and galloped on the battlefield, no matter what the world said, but at first, I am afraid it was with the blood and recklessness of my youth. Now, as I get older, I am getting older and older, but in my heart, I always think about the past. ”

"It's a pity" Li Shimin sighed again: "My human race has a short lifespan, and I can be brilliant in these three realms for a moment, and I can already be regarded as having a brilliant life, but I can't compare to you immortals after all." ”

Fahai saw that he was still sentimental as he spoke, so he enlightened: "Brother Majesty doesn't have to be so sad, the end of a person is not dead, and those who leave a name in history will be immortal." With the heroism of the imperial brother, don't say a hundred years, even if it is a thousand years or ten thousand years later. It should also be remembered by the descendants of the human race. ”

"Just like Emperor Qin and Han Wu." Li Shimin smiled and said: "Although his body is dead, the spirit that remains in the world has never died, and it is the goal of my generation to pursue and surpass." ”

The promising kings of all dynasties, especially the founding lords, did not want to surpass the Qin Emperor and Han Wu. One completes the great unification, and the other seals the wolf.

However, the emperors of later generations can complete the great unification and establish the country is already a minority, and it is not easy for the descendants of later generations to be more angry, and it is not easy to protect the territorial integrity, let alone expand the territory and seal the wolf.

But at this time, Li Shimin thought that he had done both.

In addition to the Xuanwu Gate, in this life. In fact, enough has been done. No matter what the reason for the change in Xuanwumen is, killing his brother and forcing his father. After all, this is a stain on my body that cannot be erased.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that we can continue to spur ourselves on, let ourselves have such achievements today, and create a prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty.

Fahai on the side was still very keenly aware of the strange fluctuations in His Majesty's heart, but he didn't say much.

Fahai introduced the Eight Commandments and Wujing to His Majesty, and explained in detail the background of the two of them, which attracted Li Shimin's praise again and again.

Especially after knowing that the Eight Commandments have a huge amount of food, he said directly: "Since the elder has come to Chang'an, there is no need to worry about eating. When I returned, I instructed the imperial dining room that as long as my Tang Dynasty was still there, the elder's fasting would not have to be faked by others. ”

"Your Majesty is really bright!" Although Bajie was happy to hear it, he also knew the depths, and after thanking His Majesty for his kindness, he said seriously: "But I don't have to raise pigs like this. Otherwise, if I abandon my cultivation, I am afraid that the master will use the Buddha flame to refine my body. ”

It's weird to say.

Bajie doesn't eat meat and fish, and he has to fight with the Great Sage or the Little White Dragon every day, and the amount of exercise is never less, but this figure has never been able to go down.

In the end, I met the little white dragon.

After knowing that the Dragon King of Jinghe was Xiao Bailong's uncle, Li Shimin also apologized to Xiao Bailong: "I'm sorry, the Dragon King of Jinghe begged for each other back then, but because of my negligence, I killed the Dragon King, and please don't blame the third prince." ”

"Your Majesty is serious, my uncle changed the time and points of rain without permission, which was a violation of the rules of heaven. Your Majesty is already grateful for the help, how dare you blame? ”

Li Shimin was also quite emotional about this, after all, in his opinion, the matter of the Dragon King of Jinghe was the beginning of going west to learn scriptures.

When he thought of this, Li Shimin remembered to ask: "Virtuous brother. When I first saw it, I felt that something seemed to be wrong, but what was wrong, and I couldn't think through it for a while, until this moment, I suddenly realized why I didn't see the scriptures that the virtuous brother took from Lingshan? ”

The Great Sage pointed to the human seed bag on his waist and said with a smile: "Because there are too many scriptures, they are all packed in this spiritual treasure."

While speaking, everyone was almost outside the gate of Chang'an City.

Seeing that His Majesty wanted to show himself in front of people, the Great Sage released four cabinets from the human seed bag, and then blew it with his fingers, and the cabinet became a cart carrying scriptures, which should have been a car for the four of their brothers and sisters

But Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui saw that Bajie and Wujing were still saluting, so they took it over.
