Chapter 80: The Robe and the Tin Staff

Guanyin received the Buddha's will, along the way through the quicksand river, Fuling Mountain, Yingchou Stream and the two realms of the mountain, for the scriptures to find three apprentices and foot power of the little white dragon, can come to the Tang Dynasty Chang'an City to visit for a long time, but also did not have the opportunity to see the good people who learned the scriptures.

Suddenly, one day, I heard that Emperor Dazong preached, elected high monks, and opened a water and land conference, driven by curiosity, she called a wooden fork to go to the Huasheng Temple together.

Seeing the altar owner Chen Xuanzang there, Guanyin was overjoyed and recognized this person as the reincarnation of the golden cicada, and she sent him to reincarnate back then. However, the Ninth Emperor ordered the golden cicada to throw himself into the lion camel country, and when he grew up, he was captured by the Dapeng Golden-winged Eagle without exception and thrown into the Heishui River to become Sha Wujing's food.

Seeing that he had found someone to learn the scriptures, Guanyin was determined, did not interrupt Chen Xuanzang's lecture, and came to the lively street market with Mucha. The two turned into scabies monks, wearing ragged shirts, barefoot and bald heads, holding their robes, and they were glamorous.

In Chang'an City, there was a foolish monk who was not selected, and there was a lot of silver in his hand, and when he saw that the robe was red and light was released, and the color was circulating, he knew that it was not an ordinary product at a glance, and he stepped forward and asked: "That leper monk, how much does your robe sell for?"

Guanyin's move was to attract the curiosity of the officials, and to tell Li Shimin through their mouths, and then plan to learn from the scriptures. Seeing that the other party was a foolish monk, he asked for a price: "The robe is worth 5,000 taels, and the tin staff is worth 2,000 taels." ”

The foolish monk laughed and said, "These two leper monks are madmen! They are fools! These two coarse things are sold for 7,000 taels of silver? But unless they are put on and immortal, they will become Buddhas and ancestors, and they are not worth so much! Take them! They can't be sold, they can't be sold!"

Guanyin smiled slightly, did not argue with him, and walked forward with the wooden fork. After walking for a long time, she met Xiao Yu, the prime minister who had returned from the scattered dynasty at Donghua Gate, although she didn't recognize this official, but when she saw the court clothes he was wearing, she knew that he was a big official, and she was secretly happy, and came to the front and shouted: "The robe is worth five thousand taels, and the tin staff is worth two thousand taels." ”

Xiao Yu was in a bad mood, she didn't see her friend Wei Zheng in the court today, and she didn't know if she asked Zhang Daoyuan. After the dispersal of the court, he planned to go to Wei Zheng's mansion to see why he did not go to the court meeting.

Xiao Yu believes in Buddhism, and when he saw two scabies monks bumping into him, he didn't let his subordinates blow people away. After hearing one of the monks shout out to sell robes and tin canes at a high price, he immediately wondered: "What is the benefit, worth such a high price?"

Guanyin said: "There are advantages to the robe, there are disadvantages, there are places to ask for money, and there are places to ask for money." ”

Xiao Yuqi said: "What is good, what is bad?"

Seeing that his curiosity was aroused, Guanyin secretly rejoiced in his heart and said: "If you wear my robe, you will not sink into hell, you will not suffer from vicious suffering, and you will not encounter tigers and wolves, it will be good; ”

"What do you want money and don't want money?"

Guanyin said: "If you don't follow the Dharma, don't respect the Three Jewels, and forcibly buy a robe and a tin staff, you will definitely sell him for 7,000 taels, which is asking for money; if you respect the Three Jewels, see the good, take refuge in my Buddha, and can afford it, I will give him the robe and tin staff, and make a good relationship with me, this is not money." ”

Xiao Yu saw that he was extraordinary, and knew that he was a high monk, so he immediately dismounted and said, "Elder Dafa, forgive me for my sins." My Tang Emperor is very good, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are all followed. Now the water and land conference will be built, and this robe is just worn by Master Chen Xuanzang in most of the capital. I'll go with you to the court. ”

Although I miss my friend Wei Zheng, but the monk can not be found, His Majesty is worried about the land and water conference, if the monk is introduced to him, it will be a great achievement.

"There's Lord Law. ”

The two followed Xiao Yu into the Donghua Gate, and under the turn of the Yellow Gate official, they were ordered to the Treasure Palace. Xiao Yu took the two of them to advance, and seeing Li Shimin's puzzled expression, he stepped forward to tell the story of the two monks in Donghuamen.

Li Shimin was very curious when he heard this, and asked Guanyin: "What is the benefit of this robe, it is worth so much money?"

Guanyin said: "This robe, the dragon is draped with a wisp, so as to avoid the disaster of the Dapeng silkworm; But where you sit, there are all gods to salute, and there are seven Buddhas with you in every action. This robe is made of ice silkworms, and the skillful craftsman turns it into a thread. Immortal weaving, goddess machine. Square clusters of embroidery seams, pieces of help to pile brocade. Exquisitely scattered bucket makeup, bright and bright. Put on a red mist, take off a piece of colorful clouds. Three days outside the door through the light, Wuyue Mountain before the birth of treasure. Heavily embedded passionflower, scorching hanging pearl star fighting elephant. There are night pearls at the four corners, and an emerald at the top. Although there is no full illumination of the original body, there are also eight treasures of life. This robe is folded in leisure time, and it is worn only when it meets the saint. Fold in leisure, thousands of layers of wrapping through the rainbow, when the saint wears, alarm the gods and ghosts of the heavens. ”

After a pause, the emperor was fascinated by what he heard, so he immediately said: "There are wishful beads, mani beads, dust-repelling beads, and wind-fixing beads on it, and there are red agate, purple coral, night pearls, and relics. Steal the moon and white, and compete with the sun. The fairy spirit is empty, and the auspicious light is holy. The immortal spirit is full of air, illuminating the heavens, and the auspicious light is holy, and the shadow is all over the world. Shine on the mountains and rivers, frighten the tigers and leopards, shadow the islands, move the fish and dragons. There are two pinned gold locks along the side, and a chain of white jade is knocked on the collar. The poem says: The three treasures are respectable, and the four lives and six paths are all commented. Enlighten the heart to relieve the heavenly law, see the performance of the wisdom lamp. Protect the body solemn gold world, and the body and mind are pure jade pot ice. Since the Buddha made the robe, who can dare to judge the monk in ten thousand calamities?"

Li Shimin was very happy, and asked, "Then monk, what are the benefits of the nine-ring staff?"

Guanyin said: "My tin rod is the copper inlaid with iron made of nine rings, and the nine immortal vines will stay forever." I am tired of looking at the green bones and thin at the beginning, and I will go down the mountain and bring the white clouds lightly. The five ancestors of Moha traveled to the sky, and Luo Bu found his mother to break the ground. Do not stain the red dust and filth, and like to accompany the monks to the Jade Mountain. ”

Li Shimin listened to Longyan Dayue, and immediately ordered him to unfold his robe, and looked at it carefully from the beginning, it was really a good thing, and said: "Elder Dafa, I really don't hide it from you, I am now a great open-minded and good sect, and I have planted a wide range of blessings, and I saw that many monks gathered in the Huasheng Temple to perform the scriptures. There is a great virtuous person in it, whose legal name is Xuanzang. I will buy you these two treasures and give them to use. What is your asking price?"

Seeing that the purpose of coming here has been achieved, Guanyin took refuge with the wooden fork, said the Buddha's name, bowed down and said: "Since he is virtuous, the poor monk is willing to give him, and he will never want money!"

Li Shimin hurriedly ordered Xiao Yu to stop the two monks, stood on the hall, and asked: "You originally said that the robe is 5,000 taels and the tin staff is 2,000 taels. I will pay you according to your original price, but I cannot avoid it. ”

Guanyin raised his palm with one hand and said: "The poor monk has a wish in front, and he originally said that he respects the Three Treasures, rejoices when he sees goodness, takes refuge in my Buddha, does not want money, and is willing to give it to him." Today, I see that Your Majesty is virtuous and good, respects my Buddhism, and is a high-ranking monk who is virtuous and virtuous, preaching Dafa, and should be offered, and never want money. The poor monk is willing to leave this thing and return it. ”

Li Shimin was very happy when he saw him so diligent, and immediately ordered Guanglu Temple to pay him a feast. Guanyin resolutely refused to accept it and drifted away.

On the same day, Li Shimin set up the noon dynasty, and Wei Zheng was not there, so he asked Xiao Yu to pass the decree and Xuanzang to enter the court. After Xuanzang came, he said: "Seek to verify good deeds, there is Master Lao, and there is no reward." In the morning, Xiao Yu greeted the two monks and was willing to give a brocade robe and a nine-ring tin staff. Today, the mage is specially summoned to receive it. ”

After Chen Xuanzang kowtowed and thanked him, he said, "If the mage doesn't dislike it, you can put it on and show it to me." ”

Chen Xuanzang shook off his robe, draped it on his body, held a tin staff, and stood in front of the steps, feeling uneasy. He knew that his virtue was not high, and that he could be chosen by the three courtiers, but it was favored by God, and if this dress did not satisfy His Majesty, wouldn't it be self-defeating.

Seeing his image, Li Shimin was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, people rely on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold." The mage's outfit is really like a golden-bodied arhat, and the Buddha of Bliss is in the world, these two items are really tailor-made for the mage!"

Chen Xuanzang listened, his heart was calm, he raised his right arm to look left and right, and his heart was happy, if he wasn't in the court, he was afraid that he would have danced a long time ago.
