Li Shimin excitedly pulled Xuanzang to the Buddha and bowed four times, and recognized this royal brother on the spot.

Everyone knows that going to the west must go through thousands of mountains and rivers, many tribulations, and on the way, there will be countless tigers and leopards who eat people and do not spit out bones......

Under this premise, do you look at the more than 1,200 monks present today who have the courage to go to the West Heaven to learn scriptures for him, besides Master Xuanzang, is there a second person?

You can't tell him to run away!

Seriously, Li Shimin doesn't care at all about whether the Sanzang True Scripture can save ghosts and demons, the only thing he cares about is that it can save people and make people good.

Being able to save people will mean that there will be a lot less fighting in the world, so that his rule will be much more stable, and what he wants is for him to be forever, and the world will always be in the hands of his Li family's descendants.

"Listen, everyone, from now on, Master Xuanzang will be my royal brother. ”

After Li Shimin worshipped, he took Xuanzang's hand and held it high, announcing the matter loudly to the surroundings.

As the old saying goes: If a scholar dies for a confidant, the emperor recognizes him as a monk as a younger brother, and this monk is afraid that he will be happy and die for me, right?

Li Shimin glanced at Xuanzang, and saw that Xuanzang's face did not show much happiness, and his expression never changed.

A few days later, outside the city of Chang'an.

Li Shimin sent Xuanzang out of the city ten miles away, and the two walked side by side, saying goodbye, and a few entourages led by the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and Tang Seng next to him led the horses and waited.

Li Shimin stopped, raised his hand, and brought two glasses of wine to a subordinate.

Li Shimin pointed to a cup and said, "Royal brother, please drink this cup to the full!"

Xuanzang's eyes showed a look of interest, and after a little hesitation, he picked up the cup.

Li Shimin squatted down, pinched a handful of soil on the ground, and raised his head to put it in Xuanzang's cup.

I saw Xuanzang holding an empty wine glass.

"Drunk?"

"Full drink!"

Li Shimin's expression froze, although what he prepared was vegetarian wine, but as a monk, why should you excuse yourself and let me throw a handful of soil into it, right?

"Your Majesty, this is ......"

Xuanzang looked at Li Shimin's fingers.

Li Shimin sprinkled the soil into another glass of wine and said, "Brother Yu, let's have another glass!"

Xuanzang looked at the wine floating on the floating soil, frowned secretly, and said, "Your Majesty, the poor monk is drinking for the first time, and it is not advisable to drink more." ”

What's wrong with sprinkling soil into wine?

This is not in line with the concept of personal hygiene that he usually pays attention to, and he can't drink it!

"This is a vegetarian wine specially prepared by me, it doesn't matter. ”

Li Shimin said enthusiastically: "I hope that the royal brother: I would rather love a twist of soil in my hometown, and I don't love ten thousand taels of gold in another country!"

Xuanzang couldn't shirk it, so he had to drink under Li Shimin's gaze, and took people and horses to clear the customs and other things on the road.

In the sky, Guanyin and Muzha looked at the group of people who rode away on horseback.

Mu Zha: "The scripture taker has set off, Bodhisattva!"

Guanyin: "I see, it's just that the West Heaven is not going out to play, what's the matter with seven or eight followers?"

Muzha said: "There should be a goblin in front." ”

Guanyin nodded and sighed, "Now it's time to find a mount for the scripture learner." ”

"Mounts?"

Mu Zha was stunned: "Isn't there one?"

Guanyin nodded and said: "You see that although this horse is a good horse in the world, but when the flesh is mortal, where can it walk 108,000 miles and go to the western sky?"

Mu Zha listened to it, thought about it, and suddenly said, "It's not ordinary...... By the way, Bodhisattva, isn't that Zhenwu's mount a dragon horse?"

"Zhenwu's mount?"

Guanyin was stunned, he knew this.

But he had heard that the horse's temper was greater than that of his master's, and that he was a rascal's temper.

Let it carry Xuanzang, then the people who could have lived to the West Heaven should be worried about whether they can hold on to the West Heaven.

Mu Zha hurriedly said: "Yes, Bodhisattva, we have been busy for so long, this time the West Heaven is a cooperation between the two parties, and now it is time for him to make some efforts." ”

"You follow them all the way first, and I will go to Heaven to report to the Jade Emperor. ”

Guanyin thought for a while, looked up at the sky and said, driving the clouds into the sky and heading towards the heavenly court.

If you really can't do it, you can borrow a heavenly horse from Heavenly Court.

......

......

Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.

Bai Wei reported to the Jade Emperor in the palace about the West Heavenly Gate, saying that it was a report, but in fact, the Jade Emperor called him and deliberately transferred Bai Wei away in order to cover Lu Chuan's actions.

"The Jade Emperor of Qiqi, the South China Sea Guanyin Bodhisattva is here. ”

Suddenly, a spiritual officer came in to report.

The Jade Emperor's eyes moved: "Please!"

He also knew that Lu Chuan had been busy recently, which meant that the plan had officially begun.

Guanyin entered the hall and saluted, "The poor monk has seen the Jade Emperor Datianzun!"

The Jade Emperor said: "I don't know what Venerable Guanyin is doing here today?"

Guanyin said: "Yu Da Tianzun, my Buddha came to create the Sanzang Sutra, the transformation of sentient beings, today I selected a Buddha to go to the West Heaven to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures, that person must be familiar to you, it is the reincarnation of the original golden cicada."

It's just that the west sky and the east earth are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and there are many demons, tigers and leopards on the road, so the poor monks hope that when they encounter danger and ask for help in the future, the Jade Emperor will allow all the immortal friends to lend a helping hand, and the poor monks are grateful. ”

At the end, Guanyin gave a bow.

"So that's ...... this"

The gods and immortals looked at each other left and right, and suddenly realized in their hearts, they wanted to pat their chests and agree, but when they saw that the boss Jade Emperor above had not yet spoken, they closed their mouths and looked at their noses.

After "careful consideration", the Jade Emperor stepped forward and bowed his head: "Yes!"

Guanyin said: "Thank you Datianzun, thank you immortal friends, besides, the poor monk still has something to discuss with Emperor Zhenwu......"

In the Xuantian Palace, Lu Chuan also met with Guanyin.

"Mount?" Lu Chuan looked at Guanyin in surprise.

But after a little thought, he knew that the entire dragon clan is not bird in heaven now, and there are still small frictions, and there is basically nothing to do with the little white dragon in the Journey to the West.

Guanyin said: "Exactly, Zhenwu, your mount is a dragon horse, how about lending it to the poor monk, and when the matter of learning the scriptures is completed, it will be returned to you intact." ”

"Eh, don't worry, I'm not worried about the incompleteness of the horse, but about the incompleteness of the person who learned the scriptures......"

Lu Chuan said: "Let me give you a thorough explanation, this seat has already sent a lot of mounts down to test the people who learn the scriptures, and this road should be very interesting." ”

"What? how can you behave like that......" Guanyin was taken aback.

Lu Chuan said with a smile: "Don't forget, this plan was originally taken care of by the two of us, this side of the heavenly court belongs to me, how to come to the test of Buddhism, according to you, and the two of us should pay attention to the small life of the person who learns the scriptures......"

Guanyin bowed his head slightly: "The poor monk plans to send the five parties to reveal the truth and secretly protect it." ”

Lu Chuan said: "This seat plans to send the six generals of Meishan to respond secretly. ”

The two looked at each other.

Lu Chuan said: "Then the two sides are on duty with each other, one side is in March, whose manpower is on duty in trouble, and who will help solve it when encountering monsters or something?"

Guanyin's eyes flashed: "Agreed, the other party must not interfere?"

Lu Chuan's eyes were blazing: "Yes!"

The two looked at each other, feeling as if there was some tacit understanding between the two.

Looking at each other is not as unpleasant and annoying as before.

"But now there's another problem at hand......"

Guanyin suddenly frowned.

Lu Chuan said: "Mount?"

Guanyin nodded slightly.

Lu Chuan smiled slightly: "This is handed over to this seat, the Bodhisattva is here for a while, and this seat will come when he goes." ”

This is thanks to the last time Ryoma was in the Imperial Horse Prison.

Guanyin got up and sent him off: "Emperor, please!"

Soon, Lu Chuan came to his backyard and raised his hand to whistle.

Whoa!

Immediately, there was fire, lightning, water, and wind crisscrossing his eyes......

In the end, he turned into seven half-man-tall ponies, and surrounded him, all of them standing with great vigour, with other features on their bodies besides dragon scales, but their appearance was carved out of the same mold as the dragon horse.

I saw that some of them were windy, some were water, some were flames, and some were ice......

All in all, Ryoma got all the seven attributes at that time, and he asked them all to come back from the Imperial Horse Prison.

This is their dragon horse species, the property of Xuantian Palace, it can't be cheapened by the Imperial Horse Supervisor, right?

"Don't make a fuss, you little ones. ”

Lu Chuan said: "This time, I want to pick one of you to do something, eh, it's you, Xiaofeng, come here, get Master Xiao Tang an air-conditioning package that is warm in winter and cool in summer......"

Although a few little dragon horses are young, they are very talented, after all, the bloodline is there, but they can't speak, and don't look small, but it's okay to carry a hill weighing thousands of pounds casually.

A moment later, Guanyin saw a small wind horse half a man tall.

Guanyin frowned: "So small?"

Then he took out the willow branch and sprinkled a few drops of dew, and suddenly, the little wind horse became the size of a horse, and rubbed it on Lu Chuan's arm affectionately.

"You take it!" Lu Chuan said.

Guanyin said: "You go too, now it is estimated that you are almost at the Five Elements Mountain, the Bull Demon King is deeply demonic, and the golden cicada is in danger......"

"I've negotiated with him, what's the danger?"

Lu Chuan smiled and said: "He also confirmed with me again and again whether he sent the scripture collector to the West Heaven and went to the West Heaven ......."

Laughing and laughing, Lu Dijun suddenly couldn't laugh.

He has been emphasizing that he will escort the scriptures to the West Heaven to learn the scriptures, and Lao Niu seems to have been saying that he will send them to the West Heaven.

Although there is only two words between going to the West to learn scriptures and going to the West Heaven, the meanings are very different.

This damn old cow...... It seems to be trying to trap him!

......

At this time, the Five Elements Mountain is down.

"Little monk, are you from the east?"

"Yes!"

"Are you going to the West Heaven to learn scriptures?"

"Not bad!"

"Then do you want to do me a favor and remove the Buddha post on the top of the mountain?"

Xuanzang looked up at the top of the mountain: "I don't want to, goodbye!"

"Wait, wait, you helped me, and I'll repay you. ”

"The mountain is too high, I can't go up, goodbye!"

Bull Demon King: "???"

The Bull Demon King held back the madness in his heart and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, if you let me out, I can protect you from learning from the West." ”

Xuanzang asked, "Then who were you pressed under the mountain?"

The Bull Demon King's face darkened.

Who else is enshrined in your temple?

"If you come to the Buddha!" said the Bull Demon King.

"Oh, it's the Buddha who pressed you, the Buddha must have made a mistake when he pressed you, how could the Buddha press you if you didn't make a mistake, since it was the seal under the Buddha, the little monk couldn't let you out, otherwise the little monk would be guilty, goodbye!"

Xuanzang turned around and left.

Bull Demon King: "......"

You are going to die, stinky monk, I will call you again not good-looking.

"Don't go, don't go, master, now the Buddha wants to let me out and send you to learn the scriptures. ”

Seeing that Xuanzang really turned around, the Bull Demon King hurriedly said: "Don't go, I'll tell you the truth, I was ordered by Emperor Zhenwu to wait here for the scripture to send him to the Western Heaven, and Zhenwu is in accordance with the decree of Rulai." ”

"Oh, Emperor Zhenwu?"

Xuanzang shook his head: "The Buddha's decree, you let me think about it...... Yes, you have to repent to me, tell me why you are pressed here, and I will see if I can release you......"

Bull Demon King: "???"

Is this monk a fool?

"Don't say goodbye to the poor monk. ”

"Don't don't, Master, I said, I said, alas, Master doesn't know, I was originally a bull demon king in the mountains of Nanzhou, and my life was free and free, since I met ......"

The Bull Demon King began to tell the tragic heroic deeds of being bullied and finally having to embark on the road of resistance.

Monk, I thank you when I come out!
