One of the four famous novels "Journey to the West" novel must be very few people in China who have not read it, even if they haven't read the book, the series repeated by major TV stations during the winter and summer vacations and the TV series and movies adapted and remade after that will be familiar to everyone, in fact, to be honest, Xiaoyan belongs to the kind that has not read the original book (sleepy syndrome when you see the book, hehe), all the memories of "Journey to the West" are all from TV series, cartoons, and storytelling tapes when I was a child. One of my favorites is Sun Wukong, I feel that Sun Wukong goes to heaven and earth, seventy-two changes, all the way to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and protects Master Tang Sanzang to go to the West to seek the true scriptures, it is simply a super idol, and he has a feeling of being too cowardly for Master Tang Sanzang, who always needs their protection and sympathy in the play, these are the initial feelings about the message conveyed by "Journey to the West".

In fact, the real Journey to the West is not as Wu Chengen wrote, the Tang Dynasty Master Xuanzang walked to ancient India to learn scriptures under the historical conditions at that time It was not easy to go through hardships and difficulties, when Master Xuanzang brought back more than 600 scriptures from India, and only more than 70 of them were translated and circulated in the world, and there are many left, which have been kept elsewhere and have not yet been published. Therefore, many of the things that the Buddha preached are not enough for us to see more blessings, but Xiaoyan believes that these scriptures brought back from India by Master Xuanzang after great hardships will one day be published, translated, and circulated in the world, and at that time, the knowledge of all mankind will be another qualitative leap and a great refresh.

This time, Xiaoyan decided to travel back to that time, experience a hardship with Master Xuanzang, restore the real Journey to the West a little, and learn about some things in the process of Master Xuanzang's scriptures at that time. Let's go~Go go go~~.

Xiaoyan soon crossed into the prosperous Tang Dynasty, at this time I stood in front of a Tang Dynasty temple, this is a quite Tang style temple, I walked along the path in front of the temple, unconsciously came to the small door on the side of the temple, this small door is not closed, and no one guards, so I walked in from the small door, entered the temple, and found that this is a squatter area of the temple, where the trees are lush and green, there is a layer of dense grass under the trees, and there are some flowers planted here to embellish, which is very beautiful. I walked to the railing and touched the antique wooden railing with my hand, wow, there is no dust at all, it is clean, and the air in this Tang Dynasty is really good, the sky is blue, quiet and comfortable, I really don't want to go. It is said that Xiaoyan was surrounded by a thick bookish atmosphere from the moment she stepped into the door of this temple, and suddenly felt that she had changed from a female man to a literary fan.

Xiaoyan wandered around this temple, and unconsciously came to the main hall, I entered the main hall to worship the Buddha statue in the hall, this Tang Dynasty Buddha statue is also different from the Buddha statue we see today, but these are not the point, because the Buddha and Bodhisattva are originally phaseless. After I bowed to the Buddha statue, I walked along the path in the temple again, and by the way, I absorbed the positive energy in the temple, haha. So far, Xiaoyan has not found Master Xuanzang, so Xiaoyan started the fast-forward mode, at this time the time has reached the second half of the night, I came to a squatter in the temple, only to see the light of the dim oil lamp in the squatter room, I entered the squatter room, this squatter is a single squatter room, the furnishings in the room are super simple, the room is eye-catching and convenient is to neatly stack a lot of scriptures on the table, all kinds of books and reading notes and so on. Under the oil lamp, a young monk was reading Buddhist books under the bright and dim light, and sighed slightly from time to time, as if the scriptures he was reading could not answer the doubts in his heart, and then he held his chin slightly with his right hand, and fell into deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking. I think this should be the person Xiaoyan is looking for today---- Master Xuanzang.

Master Xuanzang is very delicate, with a pair of bright eyes, tall and thin, judging from the various books piled up in the dormitory, Master Xuanzang is already a very knowledgeable person at this time.

On this day, I saw Master Xuanzang sorting out the scriptures and some personal belongings in the dormitory, and put these into a large wooden shelf, looking at this posture as if he was going to go out of the door, when he cleaned up, Master Xuanzang carried this wooden shelf, came to the west wall of the dormitory hanging on the west wall of a painted Guanyin Bodhisattva statue in front of the deep three bows and silently made a vow, and then carried the big shelf out of the door. Master Xuanzang walked on a quiet path in the temple, there were almost no people, this path led to the side door when I came, when Master Xuanzang was about to walk out of the temple door, he turned around and looked at the temple again, and then walked forward without looking back, at this time Master Xuanzang's face was full of determination.

Xiao Yan followed the master to the streets of Chang'an, which was very prosperous at that time, with people, merchants, hawkers, and other people coming and going, very lively. Although Master Xuanzang was dressed in gray monk's clothes, he was still quite abrupt in the crowd. The mage walked alone to the city gate of Chang'an, and at this time it happened that another monk came to meet him, and he should have known each other, and after the two sides saluted each other, the two walked out of Chang'an City together.

Because the Venerable Master was already very famous at that time, there were local monasteries everywhere he went, and the Venerable Master invited the Venerable Master to open the altar to preach the Dharma, so the Venerable Master went all the way to preach the Dharma at this time, which was really special and amazing. ~

In this way, Master Xuanzang finally came to the first pass of the westward journey--- Liangzhou Pass, because the imperial court at that time issued a decree not to allow any people, including monks, to go out of the pass without permission, so at the first pass, Master Xuanzang encountered obstacles.

Xiaoyan followed the mage to the Liangzhou border pass, and as soon as the mage arrived, he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the pass, and one of the soldiers asked very unceremoniously: "Where are you from and where are you going?"

The master didn't care about these at all, and replied truthfully: "I am Xuanzang, a monk in the capital, and I want to go to Tianzhu to seek the Dharma through this pass, and I hope you can be accommodating." ”

The soldier guarding the city, seeing that the mage had an extraordinary appearance and a firm and mellow tone, his tone softened slightly, and replied: "If you don't have a general order, you are going out of the customs without permission, I can't wait to release you, please go back, don't waste your efforts." ”

Master Xuanzang still insisted, and said to the soldier: "Please ask Lord Shi, my trip to the west this time is also for the sake of today's saints and the people of the Tang Dynasty, not for personal gain, please be accommodating and let me out of the customs." ”

Seeing that Master Xuanzang insisted on this and refused to return, the soldier had no choice but to report to the assassin in Liangzhou. This Liangzhou Thorn Shi is a rough man, with a big general belly, and a black beard, after listening to the soldier's report, he was very impatient, and directly ordered: "There is a clear order from the court, no one can leave the customs, send him back to Beijing, and must not be accommodating." ”

After the soldiers defending the city received the order of the assassin, they also directly rejected Master Xuanzang and asked him to return to Beijing quickly. The mage who was refused to clear the customs showed a disappointed look on his face, but he couldn't break through the pass, so he could only turn around and go back to a temple in Liangzhou City to stay overnight, and reconsider, seeing this, Xiaoyan was so nervous, it turned out that the plot of Tang Taizong in the novel personally issuing the customs clearance document is really fake, Master Xuanzang's first step out of the customs is so difficult, this is destined to be a difficult trip to learn the scriptures, we really have to cherish the Buddhist scriptures that the master retrieved and translated.

That night, Master Xuanzang, who was repatriated, was a little lost, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse in the sky, Master Xuanzang looked up at the moon in the sky for a long time, and his heart was full of melancholy. Because the master had talked to the abbot of this monastery about his ambition to go west to learn scriptures, the old abbot admired the master's wish very much and supported Master Xuanzang's westward journey. The old abbot saw that the monk had not cleared the customs today, and returned to the temple, so he decided to send two monk protectors in his monastery to pass through the Liangzhou Pass by walking through the path.

The two monks took Master Xuanzang and walked through the streets into the mountains and forests overgrown with weeds and trees, and then walked through the mountains and forests to the main road. After walking for a long time, I finally walked out of the Liangzhou Pass smoothly and came to the next stop: Guazhou. At this time, Xiaoyan finally breathed a sigh of relief, it was really not easy, it was not easy.

Came to Guazhou City with Master Xuanzang, ah, this place is really dry, the skin of the people here looks a little dry, the streets here are very different from Chang'an, because the weather is relatively dry, the dust on the street is relatively more, the fabrics of people's clothes are mostly coarse cloth, there are many fruit vendors on the street, and most of the fruits they sell are the kind of melons that look similar to the cantaloupe we eat now, I don't know if this melon is a local specialty. Since I was invisible, I swaggered over to one of the fruit stalls and took a deep look at the smell of the melon, wow, the sweet smell of the fragrance. "It's really saliva coming down, fortunately I used stealth, so naturally I don't have to be afraid of drooling being seen, you can smell this sweet melon for a while, and I really want to take a deep bite after smelling it for a long time."

When I was immersed in the sweet smell of the melons sold by this vendor, Master Xuanzang was about to go away, but fortunately, Xiaoyan and I found it in time and immediately followed, otherwise I would have to reposition.

After the monks sent by the two old abbots to escort the mage to Guazhou, only one of them was left to follow Master Xuanzang, and they came to the Guazhou Pass, Master Xuanzang explained to the soldiers guarding the city that he wanted to go out of the customs, because it was a national order not to go out of the customs without permission, where did the soldiers who guarded the pass dare to let him go privately, but seeing that the mage was a monk, he could not be disrespectful, so the soldier guarding the pass went to inform the history of Guazhou's thorns, Xiaoyan followed the soldier to the place where the Guazhou Thorn History office listened to the situation, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw a middle-aged man who was writing something on the desk, and he was thinner, the most obvious difference between this Guazhou Thorn History and the Liangzhou Thorn History is that the Guazhou Thorn History is a reader, and he exudes more of the temperament of a reader.

Soldier: "Lord Assassin Shi, there is a monk who said that he wants to go out of the customs to promote the Dharma, and wants us to let him go, but his subordinates dare not let him go without permission. ”

When Guazhou Assassin heard the soldier's report, he immediately put down the pen in his hand and asked the soldier to invite Master Xuanzang in. The soldier respectfully went to invite Master Xuanzang.

The mage followed the soldiers to the Guazhou Thorn History Office, Guazhou Thorn Shi saw the Master and respectfully saluted, invited Master Xuanzang to sit down and served tea, from this series of actions, this Guazhou Thorn History is also a person who learns Buddhism, and respects the monks very much.

The assassin asked Master Xuanzang, "Why is Master here, and where is he going?"

Master Xuanzang: "Don't hide it from your lordship, this time I want to get out of the customs from here, and I came to Tianzhu to ask Lord Shi to be accommodating." Although Buddhism in my Datang is quite prosperous, but since the introduction of Buddhism, there is very little Buddhism is a corner of the immeasurable Dharma, according to the existing scriptures and explanations, can not understand the true meaning of the Buddha said Buddhism, so I want to go to Tianzhu to seek the true scriptures, if this trip can successfully seek Buddhism and return to China, it will be able to benefit my Tang immeasurable sentient beings. ”

When Assassin Shi heard Master Xuanzang's great wish, he immediately felt endless admiration, and said: "Master, listening to your grand wish is really different from ordinary people, as a disciple of the Buddha, I was going to do my best to support and facilitate you, but now that there is this ban, even if you go out of my customs, there are Yumen Pass and five beacon towers in front of you, it is not easy." ”

At this time, Master Xuanzang also fell into deep thought with sorrow. So he decided to stay in Guazhou for a while and wait for the opportunity, and when Master Xuanzang was staying here, the wanted warrant sent by Liangzhou in front of him to hunt down Master Xuanzang also came here. On this day, a soldier hurriedly delivered a document and ran to the assassin: "My lord, it's not good. Thorn History: "What's wrong? Don't talk nonsense. Soldier: "My lord, look, who is the person on this wanted document?" Lord Assassin Shi opened the wanted warrant and was immediately shocked, thinking: "Isn't this the mage who is staying in Guazhou?"

After thinking about it, at night, he came to the mage's temporary residence. Master Xuanzang was studying the scriptures at this time, and when he saw the assassin coming, he was overjoyed and thought: It must be that the customs clearance has improved. The mage got up to greet him, and then the Guazhou Thorn Shi handed a document to Master Xuanzang, the mage took the paperwork, opened it and saw that it was his own wanted warrant, and his heart was suddenly cold, but the Thorn Shi said: "Presumably, this Master Xuanzang who secretly went out of the customs is you, right? I was supposed to send you back according to the wanted warrant, but the first time I saw the mage, I was already moved by the master's ambition, so I had already decided to let the mage out of the customs no matter what, so I couldn't help but have a long night, and asked the mage to leave as soon as possible." As he spoke, Master Xuanzang was very moved when he saw this move of the assassin, and expressed endless gratitude to the assassin, so he immediately packed his bags and prepared to go.

Seeing this, I really sweated for Master Xuanzang, and it was already thrilling to go abroad yet, although there were obstacles everywhere, but it could suddenly be bright, it was really a blessing of Buddha's power~ We usually encounter a little obstacle to blame, in fact, it is really a drop in the bucket in comparison.

In fact, before the mage passed through the Yumen Pass and the beacon tower and went abroad, there were also people who took the initiative to help the mage go west, but in the end there was still no perseverance to stay until the end, from which it can be seen that if there is no strong will, strong perseverance, it is difficult to even take the first step, and suddenly the admiration for Master Xuanzang is like a surging river.

Master Xuanzang after all kinds of twists and turns and hardships finally out of all the passes, at this time the mage has an extra horse to accompany the mage through the desert, I stand on this desert and look into the distance, really can't see the edge at a glance, if Xiaoyan and I walk alone in this desert, even the southeast and northwest can not be distinguished, let alone out of the desert, suddenly the admiration for Master Xuanzang has risen to a level.

In this stretch of desert that is not visible at a glance, there are occasional sparse green desert plants, but most of them are yellow sand. The sun in this desert is particularly poisonous during the day, Master Xuanzang, who has never experienced such a harsh environment, has a white mouth and skin, and his physical strength is already a little exhausted, and he is about to faint several times, at this time the mage sat down to rest for a while, but immediately stood up and continued to move forward, the clothes on his body were already wet and dry, dry and wet, at this time Xiaoyan decided to turn on the feeling mode, ready to feel how poisonous the sun of this desert is, as soon as Xiaoyan turned on, she was almost knocked out by a heat wave, and suddenly felt difficult to breathe, the whole person was completely wrapped in heat, and her feet on this sand can be described as hot, if Xiaoyan stands barefoot in place for a while, I don't know if the soles of her feet will be burned by the high temperature。。。。。。 Just now, Xiao Yan was completely defeated just by feeling the atmosphere of this desert, but Master Xuanzang was desperate to move forward, it was really not at the same level at all.

Master Xuanzang, who traveled through the day for a day, found a place at night and rested, just when Master Xuanzang lay down and was ready to rest, suddenly the horse suddenly became uneasy, while neighing in circles in place, looking at the horse looked like wanting to leave, Master Xuanzang had never seen such a situation, but thought that the old owner of the horse had said that the horse had a lot of experience in crossing the desert, and the master did not hesitate to immediately pack his luggage and prepare to set off。 However, this horse is really a good hand at crossing the desert, and it is sensitive by nature, and it took the mage to a place with a big rock to cover it, and then he was no longer anxious and calmed down, at this time, suddenly the desert became windy, flying sand and rocks, if you dodge a few steps later, it must be the rhythm of being drowned by the sand blown by the strong wind, it is really thrilling, Xiaoyan is really crazy sweat on the side, and her heart is shaking.

After the wind and sand, the sky has already dawned, Master Xuanzang and the horse set off again, walked for a long, long time, at this time Master Xuanzang was already hungry and thirsty, walking was already staggering, his face was white, he felt that he was going to fall down in the next second, Master Xuanzang followed the horse all the way hard, suddenly, the horse galloped, wow, it turned out that this is a rare green space in the desert with a clear water source, the master saw the water source with all his strength rushed over, lowered his head and drank it in a big gulp, after drinking the water, he lay on the ground and rested for a while, after resting for a while, Master Xuanzang filled the water bag with water, also loaded the water and grass for the heroes and horses to eat, and set off again.

Master Xuanzang walked in this desert for a few days, and finally walked out of this desert (it was not easy, 555), Master Xuanzang, who walked out of the desert, led the horse, came to a city gate and breathed a long sigh of relief, and walked into the city. After entering the city, Xiaoyan found that there were many restaurants in this city for passing traders to rest, and there were many people in each restaurant here, which were caravans from various countries, and most of these caravans were equipped with camels, a desert artifact, so there were a lot of camels on the roadside. There are also small merchants and vendors selling pottery, cloth, silverware and other items on the roadside, for people who have just come out of the desert, it is really very lively here, although such a market and the prosperous Tang capital Chang'an can not be compared, but it is also very in line with the needs of the people and caravans here, so it is also very prosperous.

Master Xuanzang walked along the road in the city, and soon came to a local temple, this temple does not have a grand gate, it looks very ordinary, but the temple building slightly reveals a little bit of the Tang Dynasty atmosphere, the master then wanted to borrow in this temple, just wanted to go in, but saw a monk just came out of the temple, so Master Xuanzang expressed to the master that he wanted to stay overnight, the master inquired in detail about the situation of Master Xuanzang and then led the master into the temple, and arranged to stay.

After the master unloaded his luggage in the temple guest room, he did not rest, he came to the main hall, bowed and bowed, at this time a slightly older master came in from outside the main hall, after the two saluted each other, the old monk said excitedly: "I have heard the name of the master for a long time, I left my hometown and traveled to many places, and I have been here for more than ten years, and today I can meet the master in another country, this is really something I never thought of, I wonder if I can ask the master to stay here more, and answer my questions?" Master Xuanzang looked at the old master's excited and sincere request, and immediately agreed without hesitation.

When Master Xuanzang stopped here to give lectures to everyone, many monks from local temples also came to this temple to ask the master.

Because Master Xuanzang is famous and the country is very small, it soon spread to the king, and the king of this country is also a Buddhist disciple who believes in Buddhism, so the king also sent officials to the temple to invite the master into the palace to preach Buddhist scriptures to the king and the princes and ministers.

Seeing these scenes, I really sighed how prosperous Buddhism was back then, from the king to the common people, everyone believed in Buddhism, Master Xuanzang's courtesy here was just the beginning, the news of Master Xuanzang's appearance in the Western Regions soon spread to the ears of the king of Gaochang Kingdom---, a large country in the Western Regions, and the king also sent a minister to inquire about Master Xuanzang's situation. On this day, the king was in the early court as usual, and when he was about to retire, a minister came to the king to say: "Tell Your Majesty, Weichen learned that Master Xuanzang, a senior monk of the Tang Dynasty, is now staying in Yiwu to give lectures, whether Your Majesty wants to invite the master to come to my Gaochang." When the king heard this, his eyes lit up: "Oh, great, Master Xuanzang is erudite and talented, and his lectures are first-class, and the widow must treat each other with courtesy, please come to the country to preach the scriptures and teachings, quickly, you go and invite the master to come to the palace." ”

On this day, the temple where Master Xuanzang stayed came to a team of high-standard dependents, led by a thin middle-aged official, presumably this is the envoy of Gao Changguo. It is rare to see the envoys of the great powers in the ordinary temple, the abbot of the temple took the monks and Master Xuanzang out to greet him, at this time the envoy respectfully came to Master Xuanzang, performed the etiquette of the Western Regions, bowed down to explain the intention and sincerity, and the Master Xuanzang mercifully agreed to enter the palace to preach for the king, ministers and other words.

Gao Changguo was a very powerful big country in the Western Regions at that time, so Xiao Yan and I decided to follow to see the excitement, so Xiao Yan turned into a supernumerary member of the envoy team, wearing the heavy clothes and pants of the locals, and a hat of an official in the palace, the weight of this dress is quite enough, if you go to Taobao, the postage must be very expensive, hehe.

Gao Changguo carefully prepared a carriage for Master Xuanzang, the carriage was covered with a soft blanket, the space was large enough, and there were 3 horses pulled, Master Xuanzang sat in the carriage, always closed his eyes and sat quietly, reciting something in his mouth.

Due to the large formation of the greeting, it attracted a lot of onlookers from the people and caravans along the way, and the scene at that time was indeed spectacular.

After a few days and nights of marching, finally came to the Gaochang country, the king of Gaochang has been waiting here to greet, the greeting formation is really described with high specifications, the whole palace is brightly lit, the king stands respectfully in front, behind the king's concubines, ministers, neatly and neatly. When Master Xuanzang came to the palace and got down from the carriage, King Gaochang actually knelt down and saluted, the king knelt, and the concubines and ministers of the harem all knelt down to greet Master Xuanzang, of course, Xiaoyan also knelt, because although he became a supernumerary, he could not miss the opportunity to bow to the monks.

The whole palace has been immersed in the excitement of welcoming Master Xuanzang, early the next morning, before the master got up, King Gaochang was already waiting outside the door of the mage's resting room, wow, it was really amazing, the king's consciousness at that time was really unusually high.

In this way, in the sincere and enthusiastic offering of King Gaochang, the Venerable Master began to preach the scriptures in Gaochang Kingdom. In the process of listening to Master Xuanzang's lectures on Buddhist scriptures, King Gaochang had a strong idea of keeping Master Xuanzang, and asked the ministers of the country and the master of the country to persuade Master Xuanzang, but they were all rejected by Master Xuanzang one by one, because the heart of Master Xuanzang is to benefit sentient beings and to promote the Dharma of Buddha Shakya. King Gaochang himself personally went out to stay with the mage, but the result was still NO, looking at the mage's firm expression, it was really moving.

After some competition, Master Xuanzang finally used practical actions to make King Gaochang give up the idea of forcibly staying, and also took the initiative to support Master Xuanzang to go west, pave the way for the master, contact the king of the country in front and so on. When Master Xuanzang left Gaochang Kingdom, everyone from the king's ministers to the common people went to see the Master out of the city, and the scene was very shocking.

Because there are many deserts in the Western Regions, there are many difficult sections along the way, although the mage is no longer the original one, there is the protection sent by the king of Gaochang, but along the way, the mage still met the robbers who killed people and robbed in the desert, and met the caravan who asked for help because of the lack of water, and at the same time experienced the impermanent weather in the desert many times, but all this did not make Master Xuanzang afraid, and the expression on his face was still the same as the firm expression when he left the Chang'an temple, and it did not change in the slightest. On the way to India, Master Xuanzang casually preached the Dharma for the benefit of sentient beings when he met the temple, and also talked about the Dharma with the kings and ministers of many small countries.

Because the mage has experienced too many countries and places, Xiaoyan really can't finish writing for three days and three nights, so she uses fast forward. At this time, Xiaoyan came to the snowy mountain full of snow, Xiaoyan had never seen so much snow so thick, she was really stunned. I saw that there were several figures in this white world who were struggling to move forward, that was Master Xuanzang and they were crossing the snow mountain, this snow mountain was covered by thick white snow, and if you stepped on it, even if it was shallow, the snow could also be submerged to the calf, such a harsh environment Even if we put on modern mountaineering equipment and walk lightly, it is already very hard, not to mention Master Xuanzang They have no professional equipment.

The surrounding environment of this snow-capped mountain is very harsh, and in some places the cliff will fall to death when you step on the air, and Master Xuanzang has to climb it with his bare hands. And some places are deep pits and holes, if you are not careful, you will fall into it, everywhere is deadly danger, the whole mountain is covered with ice and snow without a trace of green, Master Xuanzang climbed the snow mountain step by step, when he climbed over the top of the snow mountain, when he came to the other side of the snow mountain, the more he went down, the better the scene in front of him was relatively better, the ice and snow were covered, but there were some trees here, the mage could temporarily rest, replenish his strength, and then make a hair. In such a harsh environment, Master Xuanzang did not complain or retreat, and moved forward with strong willingness and perseverance.

In fact, after Master Xuanzang arrived in India with great difficulty, he also went to study and lecture while moving in the direction of Nalanda Temple, and during this period, he also experienced various tribulations. At that time, although the folk customs of India were relatively simple, there were also some locals who wanted to take advantage of the geographical location for nothing, and carried out some robberies against passers-by in groups.

At this time, Xiaoyan came to an ancient ferry, and there were many wooden boats lined up at this ferry, all of which were boats from the upper reaches of the Ganges River to the lower reaches. Master Xuanzang, who was not far away, walked slowly, talked with the locals on the ferry, and then got on one of the wooden boats, and at this time, the local civilians also boarded the boat one after another. When everyone saw the Master, they consciously bowed and folded, which was very polite. At this time, Xiaoyan also turned into a local boy, got on the wooden boat together, and secretly approached the mage (hehe, it's a pity that you can't use a mobile phone or a selfie stick).

The Ganges River is the mother river of India, and the Ganges River is also very lively, many ceremonies of the local people will be held in the river or by the river, and from time to time there will be women, children, men, and the elderly who bathe and wash, and there are also small groups that perform rituals under the guidance of local elders. From the moment he got on the boat, the Master kept his eyes down, bowed his head and closed his eyes, and silently recited the name of the Buddha and Bodhisattva in his mouth, without moving. When the wooden boat came and traveled for a while and reached a wide place in the water, the other wooden boats parked around suddenly began to approach the boat where Master Xuanzang was sitting, and a few locals with knives and sticks quickly got on the boat, and began to rob the people's belongings, everyone was afraid of their lives, and they all obediently handed it over, Xiaoyan I didn't know that there would be thieves when I decided to become a little boy, and I really suddenly had the idea of repentance. Fortunately, it was so wise to change an extra package when I transformed. After they robbed everyone on the ship of their money and belongings, when they came to Master Xuanzang, they looked at Master Xuanzang wearing ordinary monk's clothes, and had evil thoughts, one of them said: "This foreign monk is good-looking, first see if he has anything valuable, and then take him back and sacrifice to our gods, the gods will be satisfied, so that our whole village will be blessed with abundant food and clothing." As soon as the others heard it, they thought it was also a good idea, so everyone began to search for Master Xuanzang's body, and after snatching some entanglements, they began to tie up and prepare to arrest Master Xuanzang, but the Master still closed his eyes at this time and chanted the name of the Buddha and Bodhisattva, without a little fear, which is really admirable. Just when it was too late to say that, perhaps the river god in the Ganges River came out to protect the Dharma because of the virtue of the mage, and the calm Ganges River suddenly had waves, and the wooden boat began to shake, and the robbers were so upturned that they could not stand firmly, and the weapons in their hands also fell into the water, but the group of robbers still had a murderous intention, and then suddenly a strong wind blew again, and the whole boat was even more shaky, and several robbers also fell out of the boat and fell into the Ganges. Then an old Indian man on board said to one of the robbers, "Let this foreign monk go, for you see that your gods are angry, and if you do not stop you, you will be punished more severely." As soon as the robber heard this, his legs were weak, and he immediately knelt down in front of the mage to repent, and at the same time crawled over to untie Master Xuanzang, at this time the other robbers saw this situation, and they also knelt down and repented, and then the old man said again: "This mage can be blessed by the gods, it must not be an ordinary person, it is better for you to take refuge in this mage and change your ways." When these robbers heard this, they begged the Master to atone for their sins, and begged Master Xuanzang to take refuge and take refuge for themselves, but Master Xuanzang did not dislike them in the slightest and took refuge and took refuge for them. When everything was over, the Ganges River magically returned to calm, so that the robbers were even more trembling, and they also took the initiative to ask to protect the boat that Master Xuanzang was sitting on to the lower banks of the Ganges. In this way, the wooden boat that Master Xuanzang was sitting on successfully reached the downstream destination under the protection of the robbers' wooden boats.

After going through countless difficulties and hardships, Master Xuanzang finally came to Nalanda Temple, Xiaoyan looked at the magnificent Nalanda University at that time, and couldn't help but leave sad tears, because what is left in India now is only the ruins of Nalanda University, and there is no longer the slightest scene of the year, let alone imagine the grandeur of the year. The arrival of Master Xuanzang was welcomed by the monks of Nalanda Temple, and two rows of monks greeted him outside the gate of Nalanda Temple, and a delicate blanket was laid in front of the door leading to the temple. Master Xuanzang calmly and excitedly stepped on the carpet from outside the temple into the temple, at this time Master Xuanzang's eyes were filled with tears, what a historic moment, at this time it is really silent than sound, nothing can describe the excitement.

At this time, in a large hall of Nalanda Temple, there was a dark-skinned, thin, and very old old teacher, I think this should be the famous master of the precepts, the master has been sitting on a big chair, several times there are movements to get up, so it seems that the master of the precepts is also very much looking forward to the arrival of Master Xuanzang.

Master Xuanzang came to the precept of the master, knelt down and saluted, and the master immediately sent the attendant disciples around him to help Master Xuanzang up, and asked Master Xuanzang to sit down. From these small details, it can be seen that Master Xuanzang was so welcomed at that time, it is really unprecedented and unprecedented.

Xiaoyan looked at the hands and feet of the commentator, the joints of the hands and feet have been deformed, the limbs are also very thin, and the speech is more laborious, but the spirit is very good, Master Xuanzang and the teacher asked and answered, when the teacher asked when the master came to Nalanda Temple? Master Xuanzang sincerely said to the master of the precepts: "I came all the way west from the Tang Dynasty in order to come here to study Buddhism, and to be able to learn and seek advice from you" The Yogi Ground Treatise. When Master Xuanzang heard his answer, tears rolled in his eyes, and his lips trembled slightly. At this time, the commentator waved his hand slightly to an old master beside him, and the master immediately bowed down to the commentator and listened to the instructions, it turned out that the commentator had asked the master to tell everyone about the teacher's illness.

For more than 20 years, the Commentator has been suffering from rheumatic diseases, and every time he has an attack, the joints of his limbs are in unbearable pain, and his limbs rattle (no wonder when he met the Commentator, the joints of the Commentator's limbs have been deformed, and the limbs are also very thin, which is caused by the disease), and the pain will become worse every time, and the pain will worsen every time he occurs, and every time he has an attack, the Commentator will sweat profusely, his face will turn pale, and his whole body will tremble, because the pain is so unbearable that the Commentator will finally be unable to bear it and have the idea of ending his life。 Once, when the disease flared up again, the commentator lay down with his eyes closed, refusing to take pain-reliever pills, or any food or water, as if he was preparing to die on a hunger strike. In this way, the pain was painful, the pain was covered in cold sweat, maybe it was the pain fainting or the commentator fell asleep, the commentator saw himself standing up in a dream, and his limbs did not hurt anymore, at this time, in front of the commentator's eyes, three people dressed as ancient Indian gods suddenly appeared, the middle one was all golden, the crown and the clothes on the body were also golden, shining and shining, the one on the right of the golden man was a dark blue glazed celestial man like the medicine master glazed light, and on the left was a white-skinned celestial man wearing a white celestial crown, and the crown had some simple and delicate decorations, and the lower body was wrapped around this white celestial man who resembled a short skirt。 These three are Manjushri, Avalokiteshvara and Maitreya, and the three Bodhisattvas explained to the precept teacher the cause of his physical ailment, which turned out to be caused by the abuse of the people in his own country when he was the king of a country in his previous life, and this king, who often whipped those who had committed sins and innocent civilians, liked to use torture to suppress the people, and the king would go to hell after death, but it was precisely because of the power of practicing the Dharma that the teacher could suffer such suffering in this life. The three Bodhisattvas not only enlightened the commentator and prevented the commentator from going on a hunger strike, but also said an important message to the commentator (hehe, the key point is the key point), it turned out that when Venerable Xuanzang had not yet set off to India three years ago, the Bodhisattvas had already informed the Venerable Xuanzang in advance that Venerable Xuanzang would come to Nalanda Monastery to seek the Dharma in the future. At this time, Xiaoyan really sighed, it turned out that everything was really "arranged early by fate".

Since seeing the three bodhisattvas in a dream, the joint pain has gradually improved, and in the past three years, it has basically stopped flaring up as frequently as before, but the deformed joints make it more inconvenient for the commentator to move. Although the precept and sage commentator is very old and has not lectured publicly for a long time, the commentator made an exception to publicly preach the "Treatise on the Land of Yogis" because of Master Xuanzang's request for the Dharma. Therefore, for such a grand event, many monks who came to Nalanda Monastery came to listen to the teachings of the commentators, and the scene was very grand.

Master Xuanzang in India after a variety of studies, can already be described as a rich five cars, by the Indian Buddhist community at that time respected as Master Sanzang, in the whole India and even many small countries is already very, very famous great master, many kings of the country will invite Master Xuanzang to their own country to preach Buddhism. In this way, the time for the mage to return to the country has been repeatedly delayed.

Well, at this critical moment, Xiao Yan used my Lu Clan's trick again--- fast-forward magic skill, and adjusted the time to the time period when Master Xuanzang returned to China with honor. Xiaoyan returned to the Tang Dynasty and came to a palace, this palace is not very big, it feels like a royal study, in the middle of the palace, there is a big table, there are a lot of documents on the table, a slightly fat, bearded man who looks very imposing is sitting on the table and bowing his head to write something seriously, he sometimes frowns, sometimes his expression is firm, a book of documents from his pen to read, I curiously approached him and took a closer look, his face has a kind of imperial temperament that is not angry and self-assured, the crown on his head is a golden fine net, and the clothes on his body are embroidered with gold dragon patterns, yes, he is right, he is today's holy ---- Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

At this time, a eunuch came to report, there was a minister who wanted to meet, Tang Taizong agreed, a slightly thin old man in official uniform came in from outside, and after the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, the official said: "Emperor Qi, Master Xuanzang, a monk who went to Tianzhu without permission many years ago, has now returned from Tianzhu, waiting for the will in Khotan, and there is a table submitted, and now Master Xuanzang has become famous in Tianzhu and other countries, I don't know what the emperor will do with it?"

The eunuch beside Tang Taizong handed the book presented by Master Xuanzang to Tang Taizong, Tang Taizong put down the pen in his hand, held it with both hands, and read it carefully. After reading it, Tang Taizong said to the minister: "Since Master Xuanzang originally went to Tianzhu for the country, and now he has returned to the country, how can I punish him again? (Xiaoyan saw that the emperor personally gave a reply, so she happily visited the Tang Dynasty palace at that time.) ）

This emperor's forgiveness was finally sent to the hands of Master Xuanzang, who was far away in Khotan, although Master Xuanzang was waiting for the process of studying the scriptures while propagating the Dharma, but there was often uneasiness in his heart, and now he got such a precious forgiveness message, Master Xuanzang cried with joy for a while, and this tear contained everything, there was bitterness, happiness, sweetness, There is acid, but all the efforts are not in vain, and now Master Xuanzang can finally return to his country to promote Buddhism as he wishes, and Xiaoyan is really excited for Master Xuanzang (555555).

Master Xuanzang bid farewell to the king of Khotan, left the palace of Khotan, and embarked on the journey home. The king of Khotan specially sent a team to escort the mage, and also sent camels to the mage to help the mage Xuanzang transport the precious scriptures from India back to Chang'an.

On the way back this time, Master Xuanzang got the emperor's decree, all of them went through the official process, and they no longer avoided the east and west as they did when they went, and after the escort team of Khotan arrived at the land of the Tang Dynasty, it was handed over to the local officials of the Tang Dynasty, and there were local officials to escort the master back to Chang'an.

The news that the mage is going back to Chang'an spreads ten, ten and hundred, and everyone in Chang'an knows it, and everyone wants to meet this miraculous monk, so how many people in Chang'an City greet the mage and want to see the mage? Haha, Xiaoyan I went to experience it myself, I changed me changed I changed, Xiaoyan became a teenager and came to the crowd, I looked forward from where I was standing, it was all human heads, and then looked back, in addition to the human head or human head, there were children's voices in the team What an exaggerated scene, this crowd completely blocked the gate into the city, this enthusiasm is no less than the current idol pursuit, maybe this is the true portrayal of the empty alley. Because there were too many ordinary people and the enthusiasm was very high, the officials guarding the city of Chang'an could only order the city gate to be closed and not allowed to pass for the time being.

Such a level of enthusiasm, perhaps even Master Xuanzang did not expect, Master Xuanzang had no way to enter the city for a while, and could only stay overnight in the suburbs of Chang'an. But the news that Master Xuanzang is about to arrive in Chang'an has also reached the ears of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Taizong sent the officials around him to meet Master Xuanzang this time, wow, it is really too grand.

The weather on this day is very good, the sky is so blue and blue, there is a very grand and grand welcoming team outside the temporary residence of Master Xuanzang in the suburbs, there are soldiers dressed neatly and neatly behind the team, Master Xuanzang walked out from the inside, a luxurious carriage stopped in front of the master, an elderly official in a dark purple official uniform respectfully invited Master Xuanzang to get into the carriage, and the master also respectfully returned the salute. Although this is not in the city, and the road is not spacious, there are also a lot of people crowded on both sides of the road, and everyone has never seen this formation, and everyone is vying to see Master Xuanzang.

The team to greet Master Xuanzang entered Chang'an City ceremoniously, wow, the number of people who greeted him did not decrease at all, there were crowds of people on both sides of the road, the queue to greet him was very long, long, and there was no end in sight when Xiaoyan stood at the city gate, if it was said that there were hundreds of thousands of people who came to greet the mage at the same time, it was really not an exaggeration.

Compared with the current stars, Master Xuanzang's popularity is completely unknown.

Xiaoyan remembers that there is a scene in "Journey to the West" that after Master Xuanzang returned to China, Tang Taizong personally summoned the master, and the master told the various journeys of this journey to the west, so in reality, is there such a scene? Xiaoyan I decided to go and find out again, go go go~

Xiao Yan came to a palace, but this palace is still a little different from the palace that Xiao Yan went to before, Xiao Yan looked around at the palace gate, at this time, I saw a carriage and a small guard coming from not far away, and it was Master Xuanzang who got down from the carriage, and the master was led by an official to enter the palace from the gate of the palace city, and Xiao Yan immediately followed Master Xuanzang into the palace together.

Master Xuanzang was led by that official to a palace, Xiao Yan looked inside, wow, the one sitting in the middle is the Tang Taizong that Xiao Yan had seen before, it turned out that Master Xuanzang really came to see Tang Emperor Taizong.

I saw the master enter the hall, and after saluting, Tang Taizong ordered someone to give Master Xuanzang a seat on the left (secretly, the layout of this hall is slightly simpler than the hall that Xiaoyan visited before, and the size is not as big as the one I saw before) At this time, Tang Taizong looked at Master Xuanzang carefully, and asked with a smile: "The master went out of the customs to Tianzhu back then, why didn't he go after the approval of the performance, but took the risk and went out of the customs privately?"

Master Xuanzang said calmly: "I have written many times to ask for a trip to Tianzhu, but they have been rejected, but I want to promote Buddhism, so I decided to go out of the west to seek the Dharma. ”

Master and Tang Taizong asked and answered, and suddenly, Emperor Tang Taizong said to Master Xuanzang: "Can you tell me about your journey to the west? So Master Xuanzang told Tang Taizong about some of the Western Regions countries and India, Emperor Tang Taizong listened with relish, and nodded from time to time, and the ministers next to him also gently communicated with each other, all of them had a very strong interest.

After that, Tang Taizong asked Master Xuanzang to write down in detail what he had seen and heard about the westward journey, the geographical situation, and the human situation, and left everyone with the historical information of Zhenggui.

In addition to leaving you a copy of "The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", Master Xuanzang devoted his life to translating many Buddhist scriptures invited back from India. It is precisely because of Venerable Venerable Translator's tireless translation that our future generations of Buddhas can be blessed to read these Buddhist scriptures, and we are truly grateful to Venerable Xuanzang. So Xiaoyan will take you to see some scenes of Master Xuanzang translating Buddhist scriptures.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and two young monks gently came to the room where Master Xuanzang was translating the scriptures, and gently blew out the oil lamp. After the two young monks cleaned up for the Venerable, they couldn't bear to care about the Venerable Master's body, so they gently walked up to the Venerable Master and said to the Venerable, "Master, you didn't close your eyes all night last night, and now it's dawn, please take a break." At this time, Master Xuanzang raised his head, looked out the door, and realized that the night had passed, but the Master quickly lowered his head again, continued to write, and said to the young monk: "Time is short, I am in good health now, and I will rest after I finish translating this article." So he stopped talking and continued to bow his head and translate. The two young monks wiped the corners of their eyes and muttered softly: "It's like this every day, I really don't know how to persuade again, and this body is getting worse day by day, alas." ”

Master Xuanzang has lived many spring and autumn seasons like this, this day is winter, Xiaoyan came to a temple in the mountains, this temple is very quiet, and the air around it is super fresh. However, because it is winter, the weather here is very cold, and the snow is still floating in the sky like fine salt. The trees and buildings in this temple are dressed in a thick white cotton jacket, which is very solemn in silver. Xiaoyan came to a room, and saw that the room was still working hard to translate the Buddhist scriptures of Master Xuanzang, Xiaoyan approached the master, the master in front of him was no longer what he was back then, he was already an old man, the master sat at the desk and concentrated on translating the Buddhist scriptures in his hand, Master Xuanzang was wearing a winter coat and a cotton jacket on the outside, this cotton jacket should be when Master Xuanzang was working, the disciple of the master was afraid that the master would be cold and put on the master. At this time, when I saw Master Xuanzang's body, I obviously felt that Master Xuanzang was very tired, and when the Master was translating Buddhist scriptures, he occasionally coughed a few times or his brows suddenly wrinkled and looked a little painful. Just when the mage was translating the Buddhist scriptures, suddenly a drop of bright red blood appeared on a piece of paper that was being written, Master Xuanzang paused for a moment, and before he could fully react, Xiaoyan also froze, Xiaoyan quickly walked to the mage, took a closer look, it turned out that Master Xuanzang's right nostril had a nosebleed, at this time Master Xuanzang put down the pen in his hand, touched his nose, sighed softly, and stood up, walked to the window, and stared blankly at the snow scene outside the window for a long time.

Looking at such a snowy scene, and then looking at Master Xuanzang's side, Xiao Yan felt so sad in her heart, which reminded me of Master Xuanzang's straight back when he left Chang'an for India, and at this time, Master Xuanzang's back was already slightly hunchbacked, and his face was full of exhaustion. The mage came back to his senses, walked back to his desk from the window, and gently put away the books, pens, and papers on the table, the expression on his face was still calm, and he couldn't see sadness or joy.

Master Xuanzang's skull relics

Xiaoyan is an anxious child, and she really wants to know what happened to Master Xuanzang, so she started the fast-forward mode again. I fast-forwarded a short period of time, and the scene in front of me made Xiaoyan dumbfounded, because in front of me was Master Xuanzang in an auspicious lying position, and below were the disciples who were crying, it turned out that Master Xuanzang had passed away. This scene was too sudden, which made Xiaoyan cry bitterly, and suddenly all the past scenes of Master Xuanzang were all passed over again in front of her eyes.

The news of Master Xuanzang's death spread far and wide, from the emperor to the commoners, women and children, all immersed in the grief of losing a great virtue who was extremely respected. Perhaps in order to respect Master Xuanzang's last wish before his death, Master Xuanzang's coffin was to be sent to the mountains on the outskirts of Chang'an for burial.

The procession for the funeral of the mage has to pass through Chang'an City, and the streets are all full of ordinary people, monks, officials, etc. who spontaneously come to bid farewell to Master Xuanzang. But what is different this time is that everyone is consciously standing on both sides of the road, neither pushing nor squeezing, some are silently sobbing, some are hiding their faces and crying bitterly, and they are expected to be silently heartbroken by Master Xuanzang's body, such a scene is indescribable in words, and it only feels that the whole air is filled with sadness. Xiao Yan is also so sad, although Xiao Yan has never said a word to Master Xuanzang, but when accompanying Master Xuanzang to the west, the Master's every move has deeply made Xiao Yan's five bodies of complete worship fall to the ground, looking at the crying people in the crowd, Xiao Yan decided to do a temporary interview, Xiao Yan transformed into a young man this time, Xiao Yan was also sobbing in the crowd, then I heard a young man next to him crying very sadly, Xiao Yan:" The man has tears and doesn't flick, but he hasn't reached the sad place, looking at your sad appearance, you must have seen the mage, right?"

Young man: "No, my good fortune in this life is shallow, and I have not been able to meet Master Xuanzang in front of him, but the "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" that I recite every day is translated by the master. ~~ As he spoke, the man cried sadly, so that Xiaoyan couldn't bear to disturb him anymore.

Xiao Yan quietly retreated, came to the side of an old woman from the countryside, only to see the old woman wiping her tears with her sleeves while reciting the name of "Nan Wu Guanyin Bodhisattva", Xiao Yan asked the old lady: "Auntie, look at your appearance, you came from outside the city, do you also know the master?"

Old woman: "Who doesn't know, the great master is the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva in my heart, although I can't see clearly, I can't hear clearly, but I can still do it, my grandson brought me, I just came to send him, Nan no Guanyin Bodhisattva, Nan Wu Guanyin Bodhisattva......" The old woman simply finished these two sentences, and continued to recite the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and never replied to me.

Xiaoyan looked at the people around her, although many of them had never seen Master Xuanzang, but they could deeply feel that everyone had a separate story of fate with Master Xuanzang in their hearts, and everyone was consciously and voluntarily to see off Master Xuanzang, expressing their reverence and sorrow for Master Xuanzang in their own way, and finally saying goodbye to Master Xuanzang in such their own expressions, and at the same time, from another aspect, you can also see the pivotal position of Master in the hearts of people at that time.

Xiao Yan silently looked at the people in this team, she really couldn't bear to disturb, let this sadness condense at this moment. In fact, we know that life and death are not the real beginning and end, and Master Xuanzang has already gone to the Maitreya Pure Land in the inner courtyard of Tushi. Therefore, as we can see, all the great sages have made contributions and suffered many times more in the world than ordinary people in order to promote the Dharma and the Buddha's vows, etc., and they have done things that ordinary people cannot do, and they have used their physical bodies to promote the Dharma and save sentient beings.

Master Xuanzang's life is magnificent, it can be said that there is no one before or since, and the contribution made by Master Xuanzang to the Buddhist world is also indescribable in words. We, the disciples of the Buddha in later generations, cannot forget the kindness of Master Xuanzang bit by bit. If there was no Dharma Master who risked his life to go to India, if there was no Dharma Master who translated and retrieved the Buddhist scriptures day and night, we Buddha disciples would still be deaf and stupid, and where would we have the opportunity to see the Buddha's teachings?

Confessional disciple Lu Deyan bowed endlessly, thanked Master Xuanzang!~

After seeing Master Xuanzang's magnificent and meaningful life, Xiaoyan's reverence for Master Xuanzang rose upwards again. So, reporter Yan decided to use the stalking and gray to invite the great Master Xuanzang to come to the game for an exclusive interview in the 100-year column, hahaha, isn't it super cool?

The interview begins:

Reporter Yan: "Master Xuanzang, may I ask Master, where are the Buddhist scriptures you invited back from Tianzhu now?

Master Xuanzang: "I retrieved 657 Buddhist scriptures from Tianzhu, and all the Sanskrit scriptures of the Buddhist scriptures were originally intact and treasured in xxxxxxxxxxx, and these precious Buddhist scriptures also have special protectors to guard them, and these Buddhist scriptures can be reproduced in the world when the world's fortune and good fortune are ripe." ”

Reporter Yan: "Master, now many people read a few Buddhist scriptures or only see a sentence in them and take the meaning of the Buddha out of context and distort the meaning of the Buddha, or even slander the Dharma, so will these Buddhist scriptures that have not yet been translated come out in the future to make those people shut up?"

Master Xuanzang: "Now the good fortune of the world is too shallow, and there is no good fortune to see all these Buddhist scriptures, when he translates the scriptures into the world, these Buddhist scriptures will come out one by one, and some answers that cannot be found now will be answered one by one in the future, and those who slander the Dharma will naturally hide their faces and retreat." ”

Reporter Yan: "Master, do you know "Journey to the West"?"

Master Xuanzang smiled slightly and replied: "This book is a fiction attached to the association, which is intended to lead people into the Tao, not true, and it should not be true. ”

Haha, the above is an exclusive report on a hundred years of the game world, which can be regarded as a little compensation for the delay in writing for so long. Although the reporter dragged on, the consistent slogan still had to sound: This crossing was successful, oh yes~~~. Where are you going next time? Rong Tuo Layan thought about it and thought about it deeply, haha.
