Xu Fenglei raised his eyebrows.

"I guess you're dead, and now sitting in front of me is a chanter."

He grinned.

Xuanzang immediately laughed.

"Haha...... Okay, okay, I'm not going to sell it. ”

"This time, tens of thousands of onlookers, including many kings of various countries in Tianzhu, all came to the uncovered conference, which can be described as an unprecedented grand occasion."

"For ten days, whether it was a Brahmin follower or other laymen who came to debate the scriptures, they were not the opponents of my "Theory of Breaking Evil Views", and they were all defeated."

"I have proved that the Dharma is the most special Dharma!"

Speaking of this, Xuanzang's voice trembled slightly, with an unconcealable excitement.

In fact, with his temperament, he has already reached the point where he does not like things and does not feel sorry for himself, and he can be indifferent to anything he encounters.

But this time, it's the victory of the Dharma!

The victory of the Dharma over the teachings of the Brahmins at the Unveiled Assembly will inevitably lead more people to hear about the Dharma, take refuge in the Buddhahood, and pay homage to the Three Jewels.

Xuanzang is happy for this.

"Congratulations."

Xu Fenglei arched his hand and said with a smile,

"This time, you have truly appeared in front of people."

"I'm afraid that the people in Tianzhu Buddhism would never have thought that it was a foreign monk who saved the face of Buddhism for them, and they should be convinced of you, right?"

Xuanzang bowed slightly.

"I also didn't expect that Tianzhu Buddhism would flourish again through my hands, which can be regarded as a merit."

He smiled lightly,

"It is precisely because of this that I have a lot of convenience in Tianzhu, and the King of the Ring Sun has opened the door to me widely, allowing me to ask for anything, and agreeing to all my conditions, just so that I can stay by his side for a few more days and explain the Fa-rectification to him."

"He rewarded me with gold and silver treasures, and beautiful concubines, but I am a monk and have no worldly desires."

"So, I only mentioned two conditions—"

Knowing that Xu Fenglei would not follow the routine to answer questions, Xuanzang did not sell much guanzi, and said:

"One of them is the map of the Western Regions and Tianzhu."

"However, although the King of the Ring Sun is the king of a big country, he does not have a complete map of Tianzhu in his hand, and the map he gave me only has a general map of Tianzhu and the territory around Tianzhu."

"Combined with what I saw and heard along the way, and the dozen or so maps I asked for and bought, I can barely spell out a Tianzhu map of the Western Regions, and I call it 'Western Tiantu'."

When Xu Fenglei heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up!

"Good guy, you are really doing things, Xuanzang!"

He rubbed his hands together and said in a loud voice,

"Quick, show it to me!"

At the beginning, Xuanzang was given several tasks, and the most important thing was this 'West Heaven Map'!

With this map, if Datang wants to enter the Western Regions, he doesn't need to grope carefully, and he can directly do it drastically, advance into the Western Regions with a sharp and suo, and quickly project his influence to the entire Eurasian continent!

It can be said that Xuanzang's picture is the key to Datang's real domination of the world!

"Don't worry, Taishi, there are many maps, and the materials are different, some of them have been worn out, and it is troublesome to take them out for a while."

Xuanzang smiled,

"I'll seal them all in a box, and when the master is leaving, I'll take them back to Chang'an, preferably in a quiet room."

When Xu Fenglei heard this, he immediately nodded again and again and gave a thumbs up.

"Thin or you fine,"

"Okay, I'll take it later."

"Hmm." Xuanzang responded, and then said, "Then Taishi guess, what is the second thing I asked for?" ”

Xu Fenglei was in a good mood at the moment, so he naturally followed Xuanzang's words and said:

"Cotton seeds, I guess!"

"Isn't that right?"

Xuanzang smiled contentedly.

He liked this form of question-and-answer, so he took out a few brown seeds from the small box beside him and handed them to Xu Fenglei.

"Look, is this what you want?"

"The King of the Sun took me to see cotton, which is indeed soft and warm, and it is a natural garment material. The world is so big, it's really amazing. ”

Xu Fenglei glanced at him.

But I saw that the brown seed still had a few handfuls of gray-white cotton hair on it, what is this not a cotton seed?

"Good, good, very good!"

He was full of praise and praised from the bottom of his heart,

"Master Xuanzang does what he says, he is indeed a great monk!"

"With this cotton, in the near future, the people of Datang may not be frozen in winter, and they may not be able to afford to wear sheepskin furs, but they will definitely be able to wear this cotton clothes!"

"This merit is immeasurable! Xuanzang, your merits are immeasurable! ”

Xuanzang heard this, but shook his head.

"There is no merit immeasurable, I am just fulfilling my promise."

He looked at Xu Fenglei and said softly,

"Whether it's the Western Heavenly Map or cotton, I don't care what they're used for, just fulfill the requirements of the Taishi, this is the basic."

"If it's for merit, then I shouldn't have brought the West Heaven Atlas back, right? Taishi. ”

Xu Fenglei was slightly stunned.

As smart as Xuanzang, he naturally understands the strategic significance of this map.

Perhaps in the near future, Datang will rely on this map to suddenly raise swords and sweep the Western Regions.

From this point of view, retrieving this Western Heavenly Map does require a psychological struggle for a compassionate monk.

"You're really just trying to fulfill your promise to me."

Xu Fenglei Zhengsedao,

"The cause and effect of this matter have been completed, and the follow-up has nothing to do with you."

"Externally, I won't tell anyone that this Western Heaven Map was obtained from you."

Xuanzang sighed lightly.

"It really doesn't matter, it's our collective karma, and we all have to bear karma."

Xu Fenglei heard this, but he laughed.

"I've heard that supernatural powers are invincible to karma, and karma is invincible to willingness."

He said,

"As long as you make a big enough vow, any karmic obstacle will be like dust."

"I don't have any wishes, I just want the people of Datang to live a better life and less difficult times."

"In the future, if the territory of Datang expands, then as long as it is within the territory of my Datang, it will be Tang people! I also wish them a happy and stable life! ”

"Can such a desire outweigh karma?"

Datang will expand! But expansion is not a brutal destruction, but a new realm that brings civilization and stability!

Xuanzang's expression was shocked.

"The Taishi has this great wish, which is comparable to the Bodhisattva Hammer!"

He looked soothing and said,

"If that's the case, I don't have any doubts!"

"Come, I salute the Taishi, and I wish the Taishi's wish to come true as soon as possible!"

Xuanzang took the initiative to pour wine for Xu Fenglei, and then lifted the teacup.

Bite!

The two cups collided again with a crisp sound.

"You're about to arrive in Chang'an, and you will be welcomed by countless people, even the emperor will come to greet you and treat you as a guest."

Xu Fenglei said with a smile,

"It's even more beautiful than when I defeated the Turks and captured Jieli Khan alive!"

"Xuanzang, this pouring wealth, countless flowers and applause, are you ready?"

When Xuanzang heard this, he just shook his head.

"I don't want to be rich and noble, and I want to be friends with the king, just for convenience."

He answered,

"When I return to Chang'an, I just want to have a quiet place, translate Buddhist scriptures well, and translate all the 657 scriptures I brought, so as to benefit those who study Buddhism and Buddhism all over the world, and pass them on to future generations,"

"That's enough."

Xu Fenglei nodded.

"With you, the Dharma will surely flourish, so you don't have to continue to spread the word on a large scale, you just need to do your own thing."

"What we want is a long stream of water, and what we want is a continuous flow of law, right?"

Xuanzang blinked.

"I understand what Taishi means, prosperity must decline, this is an eternal truth, and a long stream of water is the way to last for a long time."

He bluntly said,

"Everything goes naturally, the Buddha talks about the fate of the law, and I will not add fuel to the fire."

Syllable!

Xu Fenglei snapped his fingers.

"It's comfortable to deal with smart people like you."

"By the way, I have a question......

He was about to talk again, but the door of the tearoom was suddenly pushed open, and a young man stepped forward quickly, handed him a letter, and whispered a few times.

"Oh?"

"Sun Zhenren has something to find?"

Xu Fenglei was a little surprised.

Sun Simiao rarely took the initiative to find him, let alone in this form of writing.

With some doubt, he opened the letter and glanced at it casually.

There was no specific content in the letter, but he was told to return to Beijing as soon as possible and to discuss important matters.

"Sun Simiao, Sun Zhenren?"

Xuanzang tilted his head slightly and asked softly.

Xu Fenglei nodded.

"Yes, I am friends with him."

He responded,

"He rarely writes to me, and it seems that there is something important."

"Originally, I stayed with you for a while and talked about the Dharma, but now I have no choice but to go back first...... Back to Chang'an, let's talk again. ”

Xuanzang bowed slightly:

"If it were someone else, I would have resigned."

"But if it's the Grand Master, even if it's translating Buddhist scriptures, I'll stop and talk to the Grand Master."

Xu Fenglei smiled.

"Then it seems that I have a big face...... Hahaha, don't talk nonsense, let's quit first. ”

"By the way, I have to take your small box and the big treasure chest full of Western Heaven Atlas!"

He got up and left his seat.

"That's nature."

Xuanzang also hugged the box and got up to send it off.

……

A few days later.

Chang'an, Sun Simiao's residence.

Compared with the grandeur of the Jin State Mansion, Sun Simiao's residence is very simple, and the front yard is a medical hall, and some of his beginner disciples sit in the hall for consultation.

Behind is a medicine garden, and beyond that is the residence, with only a few bungalows.

Inside the flat house, Xu Fenglei looked past Sun Simiao and looked at the person in front of him,

This person is thin and thin, his eyes are blazing, and he does have a bit of fairy wind bones.

The plain Taoist robe on his body represents his identity as a Taoist priest.

"Gong Xu, the poor road is the head."

The long man twisted his hand and saluted towards Xu Fenglei.

"Hello Dao Chief."

Xu Fenglei was more casual, and as soon as he returned the salute, he looked at Sun Simiao.

That look is asking-

Why did you call me in a hurry?

Sun Simiao looked a little embarrassed, and opened his mouth to introduce:

"This is the twelfth generation of Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, Zhang Heng, after the Ancestral Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling."

Xu Fenglei suddenly.

"It turned out to be Zhang Tianshi, disrespectful and disrespectful."

He said hello again.

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's good for Gong Xu to call the poor and moral."

Zhang Tianshi Liandao,

"I have heard of the name of Duke Xu for a long time, and when I see it today, I will know the real man."

Xu Fenglei grinned, raised his hand and said:

"What kind of true man am I? It's just an ordinary man, crawling in the red dust, sit down, sit down. ”

"Old grandson, do you have any wine here? Say hello wow! ”

Sun Simiao was stunned.

"Old man, there is no other wine, do you want medicinal wine?"

Xu Fenglei's eyes lit up: "Yes!" I'm going to drink tiger bone wine! I heard that thing is a big supplement! ”

Sun Simiao: "......"

When Zhang Heng heard this, he couldn't help laughing:

"Sun Zhenren once rescued the tiger in Qinling, and the tiger was psychic, and he was willing to accompany Sun Zhenren and protect the Dharma for him. So the tiger is Sun Zhenren's partner, how can he have tiger bone wine? ”

"Poor Dao has brought two jars of bamboo leaf green, if Xu Gong doesn't dislike it, you can taste it."

Xu Fenglei scratched his head.

"There's such a thing...... Haha, okay, then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate. ”

In a moment.

The three bowls of wine had already been poured, Zhang Heng and Zhang Tianshi personally poured the wine and sent the wine bowl to Xu Fenglei.

Xu Fenglei glanced at Sun Simiao.

Sun Simiao's expression was a little unnatural, and he didn't say a word.

At this point, he didn't have to think about it to understand-it must be this Zhang Tianshi who asked him.

"Come, let's make a bowl and taste the saltiness."

Xu Fenglei took the initiative to pick up the wine bowl and spoke.

"Yes, please."

"Please."

Zhang Heng and Sun Simiao both picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.

Zhu Yeqing has a clear taste, but the stamina is full, a bowl of wine is down, and the three of them are all hot, and a trace of red light is on their faces.

Smack.

Xu Fenglei put down the wine bowl and said with a smile:

"Let's just talk about it, what the hell is going on."

"I'm out on business, and Sun Zhenren summoned me back with a letter."

"If it were someone else, even if it was the emperor's holy decree, I wouldn't take it so slippery."

Over the years, Sun Simiao has helped him too much, and he is also a teacher and friend.

So no matter what it is, he will do it according to the urgency, and he will never be sloppy!

"Poor Dao knows that thanks to Sun Zhenren's work, he can see Xu Gong."

Zhang Heng also put down the wine bowl, and said,

"Since Gong Xu wants to be poor and straightforward, the poor road will not beat around the bush."

"Xu Gong should know...... Master Xuanzang, who went to Tianzhu to seek the true scriptures, has returned to the Tang Dynasty, right? ”

Xu Fenglei raised his eyebrows.

"Yes."

I just got kidnapped back from Xuanzang by the two of you!

"Master Xuanzang is indeed a legend."

Zhang Heng said with emotion,

"Tianzhu Kingdom is thousands of miles away, and he doesn't know how many difficulties and obstacles along the way, but he was able to miraculously overcome it, successfully seek the true scriptures, and return to Datang."

"This great perseverance, great determination, is worthy of his achievements and worthy of the name of legend."

"Nowadays, Chang'an is already a little restless, from the royal nobles, dignitaries, to the common people, peddlers and pawns, these days are talking about Master Xuanzang, and he is looking forward to his return."

"It is foreseeable that the moment he really sets foot in Chang'an, the whole city will inevitably boil."

"Buddhism is going to flourish in the Tang Dynasty!"

From these words, I can hear Zhang Heng's appreciation and admiration, and I can also hear that he is a little envious.

But more than that, there are worries......
