Chapter 113: The forgotten Master Xuanzang, subverting cognition! 【Subscription requested】.

Fang Yang stared at the system panel for a long time, mainly because Xuanzang’s life and deeds made him feel something. His own knowledge of him has always stopped at the Tang monk in Journey to the West.

At this time, he seemed to see a different Xuanzang, a Tang Xuanzang who made him awe-inspiring. Chen Feng came up and asked, “This should also be a cultural relic, right?” ”

Fang Yang nodded: “Look at the words on this!” ”

Chen Feng took a fancy to see the words engraved under the Buddha’s seat, and silently read them out of his mouth.

“This… Is it the lotus seat of Gen-la Xuanzang’s Buddha statue? ”

“Yes! There used to be a Buddha statue on it, but now it’s gone! ”

“Doesn’t that mean that this is a relic from the Tang Dynasty?”

Fang Yang did not speak, but his thoughts drifted into the distance, and his mind kept recalling Xuanzang’s life.

–[Which is this?] Is there a brother who knows! I searched on the satellite map for half a day and couldn’t find this location, today this place is good, very open, and I don’t have to worry about crowding. This has all dug up something, I didn’t even find the address, so urgent! 】

–[I always thought that this person of Tang Monk was fictional in Journey to the West, but there really is this person?] Is that still Sun Wukong Zhu Bajie? One day, Fang Yang dug a big rock, and suddenly a sending Wukong popped out of it and called his master, is this plot okay? 】

–[Xuanzang is a real existence in history, and the big wild goose pagoda on our side was built to commemorate Xuanzang. If you like to play Fantasy Journey to the West, you should know that there is a big wild goose pagoda in Chang’an City, which is a brick pagoda built to enshrine the Buddha statue, relics and Sanskrit classics brought back by Master Xuanzang from Tianzhu. Next to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is not the Huasheng Temple, but the Ci’en Temple, where Xuanzang translated the scriptures. 】

–[This construction site looks like it is going to suffer again today, and it is no accident that this road cannot be repaired in a short time, or it will be repaired by detour. It’s really not okay, everyone goes up together to drive Fang Yang away! 】

…..

Chen Feng arranged for the archaeological team to move the stone Buddha seat out of the pit.

“It’s a pity, without a stone statue, a stone Buddha seat alone is still a little worse after all!”

Fang Yang smiled and shook his head: “There are very few relics left by Xuanzang, and this one in front of you is already very rare!” And the historical documentary value behind it is also very important, at least I think so, because most people know that the Tang monk is not a real Tang monk! ”

Chen Feng listened to this.

Puzzled, he asked 550, “What did the Tang monks do in history?” I only know that there is such a person, and I don’t even know if the scriptures are true or false! ”

“Of course it’s true, it’s just that almost everyone has forgotten him!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone around them pricked up their ears.

Even the foreman became curious, although he did not know what these people were doing.

Fang Yang pondered for a while and began to explain: “Speaking of Xuanzang, I think the first thing that comes to everyone’s mind should be the Tang monk in Journey to the West, nine nine eighty-one difficulties on the way to get scriptures, he cried forty-six times, and every time he encountered something, he was always only a promise!” ”

“But the real Xuanzang in history is not like this at all, or even completely the opposite!”

At this moment, even the policeman behind him was surprised.

Indeed, in most people’s impressions, Tang Monk is a temperament, but the person who has been verbose all the way and cumbersome throughout the whole process has long been ingrained, as for what he was originally, it can be said that there is not necessarily one person in 10,000 people who knows.

I’m not even sure if there is such a person as a Tang monk in history!

But what Fang Yang wanted to talk about today completely subverted the impression in their hearts.

“First of all, let me talk about Xuanzang’s origins, he was born in Luoyang Yanshi, his father is Chen Hui, he served as a county magistrate in some places, and later resigned from the government and lived in seclusion. Chen Hui had four sons in his life, and Xuanzang was the youngest. ”

“In the early days, Xuanzang’s lay name was Chen Yi, Yi means beautiful, after all, he is the youngest son, and he is loved by thousands of people, so his father hopes that he can live a stable and beautiful life!”

“But life often backfires, when Chen Yi was a child, he lost his mother at the age of 5 and his father at the age of ten, and he became an orphan just after the director.”

“The second brother, who had already become a monk, took him to the Pure Land Temple in Luoyang to help take care of him and teach him to study by the way. Since then, the monastery has become his new home. At the age of thirteen, because he was brilliant, he was ordained as a monk and truly became a monk! Law number Xuanzang! ”

Everyone listened attentively, which seemed to be different from the Journey to the West they saw.

I remember that in the Journey to the West, the Tang monk was put in a basket, thrown into the river, and finally caught by the monk, and then brought back to become a monk. And Fang Yang said that the second brother took him to become a monk.

This kind of strange story is often more fascinating.

Fang Yang moistened his voice and continued: “In the days that followed, he traveled all over the country to study and visited famous teachers from all over the country to study Buddhism. But he found that the more he understood, the more doubts he had in his mind, because he found that the same question in the Buddhist scriptures was often interpreted by different schools very differently. ”

Therefore, in order to understand the doubts in his determination, he decided to go to Tianzhu, the birthplace of Buddhism, to seek the true sutra and obtain first-hand information. So there is indeed such a thing as learning from the scriptures in history! ”

“This year, Xuanzang is 26 years old! However, the Tang Dynasty at that time had just been established, and the restrictions on the people going abroad were very strict, and Xuanzang’s expression of going abroad was not passed. This may be different from what you think, but there are customs clearance documents in Journey to the West, and they are treated as guests wherever they go! ”

The audience nodded.

In the Journey to the West, when the Tang monk went to get the scriptures, the emperor was still paying homage to him, and even called him imperial brother. But now hearing this story is the complete opposite. Not only did he not know, but he did not let him go abroad.

“Although he couldn’t get the approval to go abroad, he was already determined to go to the West to seek the true scriptures, so he left Chang’an privately, first passing through Qinzhou, Liangzhou, and Guazhou, leading a group of old horses alone, and entered the hell-level desert alone, Mohe Yan Moraine!”

“Eight hundred and six quicksands, no birds on top, no beasts below, after he entered the desert for a hundred miles, he quickly got lost! The worst thing is that he accidentally knocked over the skin bag containing the water when he drank water, and all the water sources were lost! ”

“You know, in the desert, there is no water, and it is no different from waiting for death. Already lost and not knowing the direction, plus there is no water, if you continue walking, there is a 99% probability that you will die in the desert! ”

So he could only walk back, but after he walked more than ten miles, he suddenly remembered the oath he had made, and would rather die in the west than return to the east! At this moment, Xuanzang made a decision that affected his life! ”

“That’s to turn the horse’s head and continue westward!”

Everyone present was moved.

Is this still the Tang monk they know.

Is this still the person who only promises to rely on his apprentice when things happen?

At this moment, the Xuanzang in their minds was completely overturned. Such a history, not only them, but also netizens in the live broadcast room have almost never heard of it.

The comment area has already brushed the screen at this time, and they all think of the Tang monks when they watched Journey to the West when they were children.

【Popularity】+1+1+1+1….-[I feel that after listening to this history class, I have subverted my understanding of Tang monks. I suddenly remembered the great mighty Tianlong that has been very popular in recent years, and now in my impression, Tang Monk should be like this. Just like our long march in China, people without perseverance and faith simply cannot persevere. And like him, who knows that he will die and is willing to move forward, I have to say that it is really great! 】

–[When I was a child, I watched Journey to the West, and every time the Tang monk twittered, I wanted to beat him, except for the mouth cannon. But now that I listened to Fang Yang’s explanation, I was a little confused. Is this really a Tang monk? If the Tang monk in Journey to the West were like this, as for experiencing nine nine eighty-one difficulties, it is estimated that he would have already cleared the customs. 】

–[Unthinkable, incomprehensible.] Knowing that continuing to walk is basically certain death, I even turned around, I believe that no one who is doing it should be able to do it, at least I ask myself that I will never be able to do it. In the face of death, the desire to live will be infinitely increased, which shows that the belief in his heart far exceeds the desire to live, otherwise he really can’t hold on. 】

–[What later?] Did he meet the sand monk in the desert, spray him with water, and then follow him to get the scriptures? I remember that the place where the monk Lisha lived in Journey to the West seems to be called the Eight Hundred Miles of Quicksand. 】

….

Fang Yang was also deeply touched as he spoke.

Xuanzang’s courage to not fear death touched everyone.

“Xuanzang relied on a powerful obsession, in the next four days and five nights, he can say that the dripping water did not stand, as for what to drink, you make up your own brains. Finally, he couldn’t hold it and fainted in the desert. ”

“Maybe God forbid, the desert temperature dropped sharply in the middle of the night, a cold wind woke up Xuanzang, he followed the old horse for more than ten miles in a daze, and suddenly miraculously saw a pool of water, and he was saved!”

“After replenishing the water resources, he finally walked out of the 800-mile quicksand, and although he received funding from the king of Gaochang on the way to learn the scriptures, he saw with his own eyes more than 30 people with him, half of whom died under the big avalanche.”

“In this way, after hardships and dangers, after three years of long journey, he finally reached his destination, Tianzhu!”

Chen Feng couldn’t help but sigh: “In the Journey to the West, after experiencing nine nine eighty-one difficulties, there was Sun Wukong to help him get to the bottom. But in reality, he is just an ordinary ordinary person, who has experienced so many times of life and death, and finally obtained the true scripture, I feel that his difficulty is no less than that of Journey to the West.”

The dozen or so police officers next to him all looked serious at this time and nodded.

There is a saying that if you do not die, there will be happiness, and it is already rare for people to experience a great tribulation of life and death once in their lives. However, Xuanzang traveled west, and it can be expected that in those days, there was no transportation.

Crossing the desert and over the snowy mountains, which is not a place to test life and death.

What’s more, the security of the country at that time was certainly not like now, there were robbers and bandits everywhere, maybe you would be gazed if you walked on the road. The more so, the more difficult it is to travel west.

Everyone continued to look at Fang Yang, they knew that the story was not over.

Fang Yang smiled: “After arriving in Tianzhu, he found the highest Buddhist college, Nalanda Temple, to study for 5 years, and then visited famous teachers for 9 years, and later in the highest level of Buddhist debate conference in Tianzhu, he fought invincible hands all over the world and became a recognized Buddhist grandmaster in Tianzhu!” ”

“At this point, Xuanzang finally got the answer in his heart, but he was like Shakyamuni back then, in addition to his own enlightenment, he also wanted to popularize all sentient beings in the motherland.”

“So in Tianzhu’s stay, he still resolutely returned to Chang’an with more than 600 scriptures.”

“When Chang’an City learned that such a senior monk had returned, the entire Chang’an was empty, and hundreds of thousands of residents all went out, all wanting to see this senior monk who had traveled west to seek the Dharma for seventeen years.”

“Emperor Taizong of Tang attached great importance to Xuanzang and arranged for him to translate the scriptures at the royal temple Hongfu Temple, and after the construction of Ci’en Temple, he was enshrined as the seat of Ci’en Temple and became the religious leader at that time.”

After 19 years of fame, Xuanzang, who is 63 years old, accidentally fell one morning while passing a small ditch behind his house. But let this old man who had climbed over countless snowy mountains and walked through countless quicksand fall down, and he couldn’t afford to get sick! ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone sighed.

Such a strongman like steel actually fell completely because of a fall. At the same time, it is embarrassing, but also painful.

You know, this is a real monk, a monk of great practice. What he pursues in this life is by no means fame, fortune, gold and silver.

Such a person, even people without faith will develop a wave of respect for him. It’s a completely different thing from the modern monk.

Fang Yang sighed and continued: “This time he fell, and a month later, Nirvana died, and in these 19 years, he devoted almost all his experience to translating the scriptures brought back from Tianzhu, translating a total of 75 scriptures, 1335 volumes, and the number of words reached more than 13 million words, accounting for more than half of the total number of scriptures translated in the entire Tang Dynasty!” ”

“The scriptures he translated, both in quantity and quality, have become models in the history of Chinese translation!”

“With an ordinary body, Xuanzang, who made such great achievements, has not been remembered by history, more than 200 years after his death, the Great Tang Dynasty perished, the golden age of Buddhism was completely over, and the status of monks was getting lower and lower, and many people went to become monks just to mix and eat!”

“The precepts of the monastery have also become more and more loose, and the monks have even become the object of ridicule and ridicule by the common people, and Xuanzang, who was once radiant, has slowly become blurred and dim!”

“Everyone has forgotten the real Xuanzang, only the indecisive, ignorant Tang monk in Journey to the West!”

“Along with this, there is also Xuanzang’s spirit of fearless hardship and danger, and searching for the truth!”

“At the same time, the Age of Discovery of Western Exploration also came, Columbus discovered America, da Gama opened new routes from Europe to India, and Europe rose in the Age of Steam!”

“Europeans regarded Xuanzang as an idol, and [The Tang Dynasty’s Western Regions] even became a treasure book for Europeans to enter Central Asia and India. Guide them to discover many ancient ruins and cities. ”

“And we Huaxia entered a hundred years of dark moments, and the Huaxia talents who were in dire straits later discovered that there were such great westwalkers and explorers in our Chinese history.”

“In the 30s of the last century, China was even more internally and externally trapped, and after the 918 incident, the northeast fell rapidly, and the whole of China was looking for a way out to save the country, and major newspapers even asserted that Huaxia’s national self-esteem and self-confidence had disappeared.”

“In the face of such remarks, in 1934, Mr. Lu Xun wrote an article on his birthday entitled “Have the Chinese People Lost Their Self-Confidence?”

Since ancient times, we have had people who have worked hard.

There are people who work hard and hard, there are people who ask for the people’s life, and there are people who sacrifice their lives to seek the law, this is the backbone of the Chinese people:

“I was thinking that when Mr. Lu Xun wrote down the person who sacrificed his life to seek the Dharma, the figure of Master Xuanzang must have appeared in his mind!”

“In a sense, Mr. Lu Xun is the Xuanzang of the Ming Dynasty, who abandoned medicine and followed the literature and spread advanced ideas and culture to the ancient land of China.”

“The sea of life and death, who makes the boat, the long night of ignorance, who is the torch.” This is the emotional question that Gen-la Xuanzang asked when he was the darkest and most depressed in his life. ”

“And Mr. Lu Xun, in his article, gave an answer that traveled through thousands of years.”

There’s a bit of heat, a bit of light. If there is no torch after that, I am the only light. 1. [Hot air].
