Chapter 709: Return my senior brother
"Or rather, I happened to come to the wrong world again? This world has undergone some changes, and there is no Monkey King and their existence?" Chu He pondered in his heart.
And the changing look on his face also accurately fell into the eyes of Master Xuanzang and Cheng Yanjin.
It's just that there is nothing unusual about either of them.
Although Cheng Yanjin said to 'remind' Chu He, Master Xuanzang did not look anxious.
When he returned to Chang'an to spread the teachings of Mahayana Buddhism, he certainly needed to find disciples to help him spread the teachings more widely.
But it doesn't have to be anyone.
Although Chu He's actions made Master Xuanzang pay special attention to him, it was not because he couldn't help it.
"No matter, let's not care if Brother Monkey and Brother Pig are not there. According to the original plan, it is only right to have a relationship with Master Xuanzang. Even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance of getting the Dinghai God Needle, I have to give it a go. Chu He thought to himself.
Although the mind has gradually calmed down.
But from what I heard and saw 300 years later, the sense of oppression is especially there.
"The little monk is a monk, seeking liberation and worshipping the Buddha!" Chu He clasped his hands together and bowed to Master Xuanzang. At the same time, it is also equivalent to answering Cheng Yanjin's words.
When Cheng Yanjin heard this, he took the first step and sneered: "What a little monk who is not afraid of death!
After saying that, he walked to the side, no longer talking nonsense, just stared at Master Xuanzang, and continued to stare at Master Xuanzang, performing his monitoring duties.
Master Xuanzang listened to Chu He's words, nodded and said, "Since you have the heart to seek the Fa, the poor monk will naturally open the door to convenience. The poor monk has been practicing penance for many years, and has even obtained more than 600 Mahayana Buddhist scriptures, but he has never had any disciples. Since you are willing to study the Fa with me, then you will be a great disciple of the poor monk!"
???
Chu He was stunned!
If he had doubted before, Master Xuanzang had hidden Brother Monkey and them. At present, Master Xuanzang personally recognized him as a big disciple, which is equivalent to negating Chu He's speculation in this regard.
"If I'm a big disciple, that means ... Brother Monkey is really gone? There is no Journey to the West of Brother Monkey, and you still write a ball! Author, you eat!"
Chu He was still in a daze, but Master Xuanzang continued: "Originally, the poor monk wanted to go directly to Shaolin, repair the scriptures, and compile what he saw and heard along the way. However, His Majesty asked the poor monk to stay in Hongfu Temple, and the poor monk could only do what he wanted. Do you go to Hongfu Temple with your teacher, or do you continue to stay at Huichang Temple?"
There is no apprenticeship etiquette, just a verbal speech, and the title of master and apprentice is determined. It can be seen that this Master Xuanzang is really a person who does not pay respects.
Chu Daodao: "The disciple is willing to practice with the master!"
Cheng Yanjin interjected again: "Old monk, the scriptures can be repaired at any time, but about what you have seen and heard in the Western Regions, as well as the landforms of mountains, rivers, lakes, and customs, you must sort them out as soon as possible and hand them over to Your Majesty." ”
Chu He's heart moved.
"It seems that His Majesty Li Er is not interested in Master Xuanzang's Buddhist scriptures, but he is more interested in everything about the Western Regions. Obviously, there is a meaning of using troops against the Western Regions. Master Xuanzang was also a guest of the royal families of the Western Regions at the beginning, and he should have received a lot of courtesy, but now he has changed hands and bought a clean one, is it really a monk, and the four are empty?"
Under the watchful eye of the Great Demon King Cheng throughout the whole process, Chu He and Master Xuanzang were not able to talk about any topics that were too in-depth.
After deciding on the name and getting acquainted with each other, Master Xuanzang took his leave and left.
There are still a day or two before the official appearance, and Master Xuanzang will definitely take the time to inspect the temples of Chang'an and find satisfactory disciples.
After Master Xuanzang and Cheng Yanjin left one after another, Chu He's meditation room was quiet again.
Chu He sat on the bed, thought about it and couldn't calm down, and waved his hand to take out the golden house.
At the same time, he also stuffed the manuscript written by Bai Wen some time ago into the mouth of the stone man.
"I want to know, is this world the Journey to the West, is there Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing in this world, and is there a Dinghai God Needle?" Chu He now has some six gods in his heart, and someone needs to give him an affirmation. Although the Golden House is eccentric and has a mysterious origin, it has always performed well, and in addition to having an extraordinary attachment to the manuscript, it can be called a good helper.
Crunch, crunch, eat all the manuscripts like potato chips.
The stone man's head shook and spat out a small piece of paper.
There is a big 'have' word in the book, and there is no extra half a word. It was obviously the manuscript given by Chu He, and it was not worth revealing too much from him.
Chu He must have been in his heart, and the whole person was a little relaxed.
It would be nice to have it, so that it would be a little more troublesome at most, and not lose hope.
"Then where are they?" Chu He asked with a glimmer of hope.
Sure enough, the stone man opened his mouth wide and shook his body, indicating that the manuscript was not enough.
Chu He sighed, although Bai Wen was diligent in coding words, the appetite of the stone people in the Golden House was too great to be satisfied at all.
In desperation, Chu He had no choice but to put away the golden house again.
In any case, it's always good to get an answer.
The next two days were peaceful.
It's just that when Master Xuanzang officially entered Chang'an, the monks all over the city were excited, and even the people who believed in Buddhism or didn't believe in Buddhism were also restless. Watching the liveliness, after all, is one of the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation.
Master Xuanzang rode his old horse, but the tattered robe on his body had been replaced with jewels, and the brocade robe inlaid with gold threads in the bright red made people look much more energetic.
Hundreds of monks followed behind him with ritual vessels, carrying boxes of Buddhist scriptures. The former soldiers and officials of the Ministry of Rites sounded the gong to open the way.
The whole team entered from the Mingde Gate, crossed the Vermilion Bird Street, and was received by Li Shimin at the gate of the imperial city.
I thought this Master Xuanzang would be different, but I didn't expect him to be a vulgar person. Wearing gold and silver, wearing jewels, where is there a little bit of the virtue of a monk. A scholar who clearly admired the non-mainstream whispered slander in the crowd.
It happened that the Chu River was not far away, but he shook his head when he heard this.
Only those who are overly self-conscious, accustomed to putting themselves at the center of the world, will be particularly fond of being different. You understand that you are still smart, and you can't see my excellence, that is, you scatter coins.
But in fact, more people are just so vulgar, just so philistine, and so in front of them.
If Master Xuanzang entered the city alone in rags, then he would only be in the eyes of everyone, like a monk on the street (qitao), and people would not worship him, believe in him, and respect him, but alienate him and hate him.
Those who practice Buddhism pay attention to the emptiness of the four major things.
Ragged clothes and ascetic deeds are empty, but is it not empty to wear gold and silver, and be covered with pearls?
What's the difference?
If you dress more conspicuously, you can reduce unnecessary discrimination and misunderstanding, why can't it be so?
I don't understand Master Xuanzang's realm, but I want to forcibly explain Master Xuanzang's behavior with my own poor knowledge, who is more stupid?
After looking at it for a while, Chu He pulled the hat and turned around and returned to Huichang Temple.
Wait for Master Xuanzang's real debut to end, and then summon him to Hongfu Temple to compile scriptures.
