Clang.

Clang.

Clang.

The melodious sound of the bell came from the temple, accompanied by wisps of sandalwood, but it also had a calming effect.

In front of the temple, a group of monks wore robes and saluted the visitors:

"Xingguo Temple presided over Yuanjing, and brought the monks of the whole temple to meet the queen."

The eldest grandson is innocent and slightly bowed.

"Boarding the treasure temple, a little donation is not a tribute."

She clasped her hands together and whispered.

When the words fell, several maidservants held color plates in their hands and stepped forward one after another.

Every color plate was filled with golden ingots, which made Xu Fenglei's eyes look straight.

Boy!

Donate so much for a walk? At this glance, I am afraid that there are more than 800 taels of gold!

is worthy of being the queen's mother, it is a big deal! It makes me want to open a Taoist temple a little.

Taoist temples can also pray for blessings......

"What do you think Master is thinking right now?"

Li Tai pulled Li Ke's clothes and whispered.

"Master must have been fighting the idea of the gold ingot, and expressed strong displeasure with the queen mother for giving the gold to the bald donkeys." Li Ke analyzed.

Bang! Bang!

The two little boys really discussed seriously, and immediately ushered in Xu Fenglei's ruthless suppression.

"Shut up!" He glared and retorted.

The two of them scratched their heads in pain and immediately became honest.

Li Qingquan and Li Lizhi followed behind, both snickering.

These two people are always sloppy and smug, and they deserve to be beaten!

"Amitabha."

The host Yuanjing muttered, bowed again, and said,

"The queen mother gives alms to this temple and makes offerings to the Three Jewels, when there are immeasurable blessings, immeasurable longevity, and immeasurable tranquility."

"Mother, please."

As soon as he stretched out his hand, all the monks got out of the way.

"Amitabha."

The eldest grandson Wujian groaned softly and read,

"I do not ask for this, but for my children to be safe and happy, free from sickness and disease."

With that, she stepped into the temple.

Boom, boom.

The small monks in the temple were cleaning the fallen leaves, and when they saw the woman at the head of the temple stepping into the courtyard surrounded by the presiding officer, the temple supervisor and others, they all put away their brooms and bowed their heads to salute.

"That is the current queen mother?"

"It should be right, that kind of temperament is not something that ordinary people can have, besides, if it is not the queen, how can the presiding abbot bow down to accompany him?"

"That's great, Senior Brother Xuanzang's hope is here!"

"Quick, go tell him the good news!"

“……”

Inside the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

The eldest grandson Wujian folded his hands and knelt on the futon, looking extremely reverent.

"May my son be in good health, free from illness and disaster."

She muttered,

"May the country and the people be safe, and may Erfeng be safe in all affairs."

"May the blue sparrow, the beauty, the clear spring ......"

Xu Fenglei stood aside, listening to the words in the mouth of the eldest grandson, and couldn't help but grin a little.

There are too many visions, what is the peace of the country and the people, and the wind and rain are smooth...... I'm afraid it's not easy to do it if it's a Buddha!

"Listen, you also come to worship."

After the eldest grandson finished praying for blessings, he beckoned several children to bow down together, and also called Xu Fenglei by the way.

"If you have any wishes, you can also tell them."

Xu Fenglei scratched his head.

"Uh...... I don't believe that. ”

He sneered,

"If prayer had been fulfilled, the world would not have so many hardships."

"Compared to these, I believe more in my own strength and can overcome all difficulties and obstacles."

Hearing these words, the host's face sank slightly.

"This benefactor, this is not true."

He spoke,

"The reason why people in the world are so difficult is because they don't have enough good fortune."

"I want to ask if they are all raised by their fathers and mothers, why are some people born rich and rich, and why are some people born poor?"

"Just because the number of previous lives in this life is fixed, and the good fortune cultivated in previous lives is insufficient, this life is suffering; If the blessings cultivated in the previous life are enough, you will come to enjoy the blessings in this life. ”

"People with good hearts and good thoughts, devout worship to the Buddha is to accumulate good fortune, and over time, they will definitely be able to get their wishes."

When Xu Fenglei heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

"You're right, you're right......"

He didn't want to argue, so he smiled and waved his hand.

They are professional monks and have their own philosophical systems. There's no need to argue with people.

Even if you are red-faced and red-eared, what if you win?

People still eat fasting and recite the Buddha and abide by the Dharma, so it is impossible for them to convert to materialism because of a debate, right?

"Then it seems that the good fortune of my previous life must be full! It must have saved the world! ”

Li Tai said excitedly,

"Otherwise, how could I be reincarnated in the womb of the queen mother and become a prince?"

Syllable!

Xu Fenglei gave him a slap in the face.

"You saved the world, but what about your father?"

He laughed and scolded,

"Your father is now the emperor, how blessed was he in his previous life?"

"I'm afraid it's not a lot of life, every life is saving the world, saving the suffering! Think of it this way...... Your father may have been a Buddha in his previous life! ”

This joke made the children laugh.

The monks' faces sank.

"Listen clearly, don't mess around!"

The eldest grandson reprimanded,

"You came with me to pray for the Buddha today, how can you be rude and blind in front of the Buddha?"

When Xu Fenglei heard this, he said seriously:

"Queen Mother, I'm not talking nonsense."

"The Buddha said that all living beings have Buddha nature and are Buddhas. Your Majesty is also a member of all living beings. ”

The eldest grandson is innocent: "......"

This kid has a bunch of crooked reasoning to prevaricate every time.

"Niangniang, dare to ask who this donor is?"

Yuan Jing pointed at Xu Fenglei and asked.

"Oh-"

The eldest grandson Wujian introduced,

"This is the prince and master of the dynasty, Xu Fenglei, the prince of Xu Guo, is the master of the emperors."

"He has always been idle, and he likes to play poor the most, so don't mind the master."

Yuanjing looked startled.

"It turns out that the donor is the court master?"

He hurriedly saluted,

"The poor monk has seen Master Xu! I have heard the name of Master Xu for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was indeed a dragon and phoenix among people! ”

Xu Fenglei: "Uh......"

I thought that the other party was going to have some offensive words, and the two sides interacted amicably, and exchanged words!

This sudden warmth and politeness gave him a little bit of a tidy up!

"Master Xu exterminated locusts to protect farmers, and provided relief to disaster victims, such a good deed is really the act of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the world."

With a round face of reverence,

"Since the beginning of this year, the drought and locust plague have continued, the people are in hardship, and the monks of Xingguo Temple have seen the people affected, but they can only do what they can to set up a few porridge factories to help the affected people around them."

"This is nothing compared to the feat of the Grand Master!"

"Your method can really save the people from fire and water, and the poor monk admires it."

With that, he bowed to Xu Fenglei.

The rest of the monks also folded their hands and bowed down.

“…… The master is overrated. ”

Xu Fenglei hurriedly returned the salute,

"Whether you do big things or small things, as long as it is helpful to the people, it is a good thing."

"The master set up a porridge factory, and I helped farmers to exterminate locusts, which is essentially the same."

"Buddha, there is no distinction."

He's a very practical person.

Just by hitting the mouth cannon, you are blowing the sky and the ground is surging golden lotus, then I won't hang you.

But if you do practical things, even if you don't agree with each other and have different beliefs, everyone is a good comrade and can talk!

"Yes, yes, the Buddha has no discriminating mind. Master Xu is very Buddha-minded. ”

Yuan Jing smiled,

"If you are free, the poor monk is willing to have an in-depth discussion with the master about the Dharma."

Xu Fenglei touched his nose.

Forget it, I'm not interested in having a night talk with an old monk and having an in-depth exchange.

was chatting, but heard a sound of footsteps behind him.

Xu Fenglei turned his head slightly and saw a young monk.

To be precise, a young, very handsome monk!

"Little monk Xuanzang, meet the queen."

The monk walked in front of the eldest grandson Wujian and reported to his family.

The eldest grandson Wujian was slightly stunned, and returned the salute with his hands.

"Xuanzang, why are you here?"

"Go back, go back! Don't bump into the queen! ”

"You...... Ay! ”

The old monks were all shocked when they saw him recklessly break in, and then dissuaded him one after another.

Looking at their expressions, they are all a little complicated.

And Xu Fenglei at this moment: "!! ”

His pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at the handsome young monk, and his heart was shocked!

Oh, my God!

This person is Chen Xuanzang, that is, the master Tang Sanzang in "Journey to the West"?!

At this moment, Xu Fenglei has the illusion of seeing mythological characters.

"You're Xuanzang?!"

He stepped forward suddenly, pulling the handsome monk's hand and said,

"What's that...... Can you let me take a bite?! ”

Xuanzang: "??? ”

"Huh? This ......"

Xuanzang said with a frightened face,

"Donor, the little monk has no grievances with you, why do you want to eat the little monk's meat?"

Because I want to try to eat your meat, can I really live forever......

Cough.

In this case, of course, I can only think about it in my heart, and if I say it, it is estimated that the queen will think of herself as a madman.

Within a few seconds, his brain cut the Tang Seng in the mythical story with the Xuanzang in front of him.

Xuanzang in history is far more legendary than the one in "Journey to the West"! He is really a person with great perseverance and perseverance!

Alone, flying thousands of miles, seeking the truth, and returning to Datang!

A man who can accomplish such a feat is enough to make him awe-inspired!

“…… Ha, I'm kidding. ”

Xu Fenglei smiled, waved his hand, and quickly changed the topic,

"Xuanzang, are you going to Tianzhu Kingdom? When are you going to leave? Can I ask you to bring me something? ”

When Xuanzang heard this, his expression became more and more shocked.

"How does the donor know...... The little monk wants to go to Tianzhu to get the true scriptures? ”

He couldn't help but ask,

"The little monk doesn't seem to have mentioned this matter to outsiders!"

Seeking the true scriptures, this is his grand wish, only the monks in Xingguo Temple know.

But the young benefactor in front of him seems to know his situation very well!

Xu Fenglei smiled mysteriously and stopped talking.

"Tianzhu Kingdom?"

The eldest grandson Wujian said curiously,

"What's that? Why go there to get the scriptures? Is what you are now reciting a false scripture? ”

Xuanzang turned his head slightly and met her gaze.

"Back to the queen's mother, Tianzhu country is the origin of Buddhism, after the Buddha Shakyamuni became a Buddha, he set up a temple in Tianzhu country to promote Buddhism. Therefore, Tianzhu is also the most prosperous place for Buddhism. Landa Temple is a holy place in the hearts of all monks in the world. ”

He is right,

"What the little monks are reciting is naturally not a false scripture. However, there are too few Buddhist classics in the Central Plains, and there are too many missing parts. ”

"Therefore, the little monk has an idea in his heart - that is, to go to the Western Regions and copy the scriptures and classics in the Landa Temple of Tianzhu Kingdom to complete everything that is missing from my Central Plains Buddhism."

"At that time, once the complete Dharma translation is completed, the people of the Tang Dynasty will be able to truly listen to the Buddha's teachings and gain wisdom."

When Yuanjing and the others heard this, they couldn't help but read:

"Amitabha."

No matter when I listen to this grand wish, no matter how many times I listen to it, I still feel shocked, and I still feel excited!

Of course, they support Xuanzang! Because they know that if this thing is successful, it will surely make Buddhism flourish!

Can......

The resistance is also unimaginably large.

"It's good to make up for the incomplete Dharma......"

The eldest grandson said approvingly,

"Master Xuanzang can have this grand wish, which is a blessing for people who study Buddhism in the world."

"If there really comes a day in the future when the Venerable Master can bring the scriptures back to the Tang Dynasty, I would like to be the Venerable Master as a guest of honor and tell me about the subtleties of the Dharma."

In her opinion, this handsome young monk has clear eyes and firm eyes, not like casual talk.

Even so, she naturally did not hesitate to praise.

However, under her admiration, Xuanzang shook his head gloomily.

"Although the little monk has this heart, the court does not allow it."

He folded his hands and bowed, saying,

"The little monk once asked the court to give a customs clearance document, so that he could go out to seek Buddha."

"But in the end, it was refuted by the imperial court."

The eldest grandson was slightly stunned.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, her expression moved slightly, and her gaze at Xuanzang had changed a little.

"In this matter, Xiao Xiangguo also spoke for the little monk in front of His Majesty, but His Majesty did not allow it."

Xuanzang said in a low voice,

"The little monk has no other ideas, it is really to seek the true scriptures and promote the Dharma! The little monk doesn't need any funding, not a penny, just ask the court to give the customs clearance documents, so that the little monk can leave the Tang Dynasty smoothly, go to the Western Regions, and go to Tianzhu! ”

"Yes...... His Majesty still did not agree. ”

"The little monk doesn't understand, why His Majesty refuses to agree to such a good thing......"

"So today, the little monk dared to come to the queen's mother, ask the queen to help the little monk, say a few words for the little monk in front of His Majesty, let the little monk out of the Tang Dynasty, and ask for the true scriptures!"

Poof!

Speaking of excitement, Xuanzang actually knelt directly in front of the eldest grandson Wuji, and tears were already flowing in his eyes!

But at this moment, the eldest grandson Wujian fell into silence.

Xu Fenglei was also a little emotional.

Why won't Your Majesty allow it?

Isn't that obvious?

Seeking the true scriptures and promoting the Dharma must be a great good thing for your Buddhism, there is no doubt about it.

But what about the imperial court?

Your Dharma has been promoted, and the common people have believed in Buddhism.

If you don't have children if you eat fasting, what should you do with the reproduction of future generations?

If you don't work, what about the construction of the country? Is the grain harvest still going on?

A sober ruler would never allow his kingdom to become a "Buddha country" or a "Taoist country."

When faith becomes fanatical, the power of the emperor is threatened!

This is absolutely not allowed by Li Shimin!

Therefore, he did not want to agree, and he would not agree.

In other words, Xu Fenglei would consider it from Li Shimin's standpoint, and he would make the same decision - is Buddhism prosperous, and it is beneficial to the country?

The two chapters are combined, 4,000 words.
