Prehistoric: A steady life, starting from Journey to the West

Afterwards, a simple post fell from the sky above Chang'an City, shining brightly.

There are a few verses on it, which are clearly written.

The song said: "Greetings to the Great Tang Lord, there are wonderful writings in the west. The journey is one hundred and eight thousand miles, and the Mahayana is diligent. This sutra can surpass ghosts and go out of the crowd when you return to the country. If anyone is willing to go, seek the golden body of the true fruit. "

Avalokitesvara left such a simple post eulogy, which can be regarded as a reason for the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty to send people to the west to learn scriptures.

After all, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva has spoken, if the imperial court does not send people to go to the West to learn scriptures, then it will not give me Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva face.

If you don’t give me the face of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, then it’s not just a matter of traveling to the underworld, but a set meal on the [-]th floor of hell, and I’ll give you everything!

In this way, the fact that Datang sent people to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures cannot be changed.

The only question is who to send.

Seeing this, Chen Xuanzang on the side immediately took the initiative to ask for tassels: "The poor monk is not talented. I would like to work like a dog and a horse, and ask your majesty for the truth. I pray that my king will last forever."

Hey, don't worry about what Chen Xuanzang is thinking, but Li Shimin will be overjoyed if he can stand up at the first time and say it beautifully.

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard the words, and he stepped forward to help Chen Xuanzang himself, and was moved: "Master, if you can do this kind of loyalty, you are not afraid of long journeys and trekking mountains and rivers. I would like to worship you as brothers."

Buying people's hearts, I understand!

And this Chen Xuanzang can be valued by Guanyin Bodhisattva, obviously he is not an ordinary person, and it is definitely a profit to recognize him as a younger brother.

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he led Chen Xuanzang into the Buddhist temple, made obeisance with Xuanzang in front of the Buddha, and called him: "My brother, holy monk!"

Chen Xuanzang was very moved when he saw this, and he made an oath in front of the Buddha: "Your Majesty, what virtue and ability does the poor monk have, dare to be favored by God like this? I will die and work hard until the west. If I don't In the Western Paradise, if you don’t know the scriptures, you will not dare to return to your country even if you die, and you will fall into hell forever.”

The ancients are the most important oath.

Li Shimin saw that Chen Xuanzang made an oath to retrieve the scriptures for him, he couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and felt relieved.

Not bad, this little brother didn't recognize him in vain, he was just sensible.

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction, and casually greeted Chen Xuanzang kindly.

Then he returned to the palace with the Manchu civil and military.

After Li Shimin returned to the palace, he immediately recruited Li Chunfeng, the Qin Tianjian, and asked him to choose the nearest auspicious day.

After all, it is better to go to the West to learn scriptures sooner rather than later.

What if Chen Xuanzang had bad legs and walked slowly, and came back after walking for 80 or [-] years, what would he do with Li Shimin?

Is it possible to let future generations "burn" the scriptures to themselves?

This is not a joke.

Therefore, we must let Chen Xuanzang come out as soon as possible, and then come back as soon as possible, so that we can see what the Mahayana scriptures of Buddhism look like in our lifetime.

Therefore, while Li Shimin taught Li Chunfeng earnestly as he had instructed historians in the past, he directly wrote a copy of the scripture collection letter and stamped it with the seal of Tongxing.

In this way, everything is ready, just waiting to choose a good day and auspicious day, and then send Chen Xuanzang to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures.

What a character Li Chunfeng is, he immediately understands it.

Pretentiously counting with his fingers, he said with great joy: "Return to Your Majesty, tomorrow is a happy day, and it is better to travel far!".

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After listening to Qin Tianjian Master Li's answer, Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction.

In this way, in the early morning of the second day, the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty discussed the matter of Chen Xuanzang's westward journey.

Learning from the Western Paradise is no small matter.

This was explained by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and it must be done safely.

When to set off, how to set off, whether to send a large army to support, how much food and grass do you need, how to guarantee logistics, etc.

These issues all need serious consideration.

After all, you can't let Master Chen Xuanzang walk alone to the Great Leiyin Temple in Xitian, can you?

Of course, whether Chen Xuanzang walks or not is not the point.

The point is that if Chen Xuanzang walked to the West Paradise, how long would it take to walk to the West Paradise and retrieve the scriptures?

If you really want him to do this, won't it really become the series of Datang's lifetime?

"Your Majesty, according to the old minister's opinion, the Tang Dynasty can send ten Xuanjia flying boats, 8000 elite soldiers, and a unparalleled general to accompany them. Only in this way can we ensure the safety of Master Xuanzang and quickly retrieve the Mahayana truth." Come."

A minister in a crimson official uniform came out to remonstrate.

The other civil and military ministers also nodded in agreement when they heard the words.

They said that my Tang Xuanjia flying boat is the latest type of combat flying boat newly developed. It not only flies fast and can fly [-] miles a day, but also is loaded with heavy firepower. It is safe and fast, and it is worth your use.

Whether you are one hundred and eight thousand miles or one hundred and eight thousand yojanas, it's all about sprinkling water!

At most three to five months, you can run back and forth from Datang and Tianzhu.

Of course, the premise is that 06 has not been swallowed by the monster.

In addition, there will be another unparalleled warrior leading eight thousand elite soldiers. No matter what kind of monsters you are, it will definitely come to kill one pair. Buy one get one free.

We are talking about ordinary monsters here.

If you insist on creating a peerless giant monster on the way to learn scriptures, come here, the ancient demon sage.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, there was a talk and a talk, and anyone who went there would be cool.

So, this Mahayana scripture is not worth mentioning!

Unparalleled Warlord is the title of a military commander at the first rank of Heavenly Man in the Tang Dynasty.

If a unparalleled warrior leads [-] elite soldiers to form a military killing formation, it is enough to kill the gods of the land.

If it is combined with the Xuanjia Flying Boat and the latest heavy firepower weapon developed by the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty.

Let's not talk about killing the gods and Xuanxians.

Anyway, it must be no problem to escape from the hands of fairy-level monsters.

Hearing everyone's suggestions, Li Shimin also nodded in satisfaction, expressing his approval to the proposal proposed for the minister.

At the same time, he also knew very well that ten black-armored flying boats, one unparalleled general, and eight thousand elite soldiers were already the ultimate protective power that Datang could bring out.

It is also impossible for them to send a war god-level general at the level of an immortal to escort Chen Xuanzang to the West to learn scriptures.

It is even more impossible to order that one hundred thousand soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will be killed immediately to protect Chen Xuanzang and go to the West.

Because Datang is also difficult!

The 300 million army not only needs to guard the ten provinces and three hundred prefectures of the Tang Dynasty, but also needs to guard the large, medium, small and thousand worlds affiliated to the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, Datang also needs a steady stream of troops to develop and occupy the new world.

How can we draw out human immortals, gods and generals and a hundred thousand troops.

It's just that these ten Xuanjia flying boats and unparalleled warriors can protect Chen Xuanzang's safety?

In this regard, Li Shimin expressed great concern.

After all, Dongsheng Shenzhou is fine, protected by the Kyushu tripod, and there are no too powerful monsters.

But Xiniu Hezhou is different. There are really big monsters walking everywhere, and trolls are flying all over the sky.

If an unrivaled giant monster, the Supreme Demon, is really about to pop out, can his Mahayana scriptures be retrieved?

In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin's elder brother Sun Wuji seemed to see his worry, and immediately stepped forward and said: "If your majesty is not at ease, why not order a group of Vajra Guardian Arhats to be selected by the major Buddhist temples, and let them Protect Master Xuanzang to go to the west to seek the scriptures."

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he couldn't help showing a slight smile on his face, "I think there must be no problem with Master Xuanzang's safety under the protection of Buddhist Dharma protectors."

Hearing this, Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Yes, yes, Mr. Zhao's suggestion is very good. If you want to come to Buddhism, the holy monks will not refuse this opportunity to go to the west to see the Buddha."

With Changsun Wuji's proposal, the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty had a constitution and a result for Master Xuanzang's westward journey.

Afterwards, Li Shimin summoned the official office of the Qin Tianjian and asked which day was the most suitable for traveling westward.

The official of Qin Tianjian, who had received the order a long time ago, immediately took a step forward and said: "Report to Your Majesty, today is the auspicious star for human speciality, and it is suitable for traveling long distances."

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this.

At this time, another attendant from the Yellow Gate entered the hall and said, "Your Majesty, Master Xuanzang is waiting outside the gate."

Why is it that just after the discussion between the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty came to a result, Master Xuanzang had already arrived outside the Taiji Hall?

Li Shimin said that this was definitely a coincidence, he did not invite Chen Xuanzang here on purpose.

The younger brother is here, what else to say, of course please go to court.

When Chen Xuanzang entered the Taiji Hall, before he could speak, Li Shimin said bluntly: "My brother, I have just discussed with the ministers. This trip to the west is of great importance, so in order to protect the safety of my brother, I specially appointed a unparalleled general. Lead [-] elite soldiers to accompany you.

In addition, in order to prevent the attack of demons along the way, I ordered to summon Dharma-protecting monks from various Buddhist temples in the Tang Dynasty to select [-] Dharma-protecting Vajra Arhats to protect Yudi from the intrusion of demons. "

When Li Shimin said this, he paused for a moment, and seemed a little embarrassed and said: "It's just that the Qin Tianjian said that today is an auspicious day for traveling, so I can only let Yudi and the imperial army go first, and then let the eighteen guardians go. Meet Yudi."

"I don't know if Brother Yu thinks it's appropriate to arrange this for my brother?"

Chen Xuanzang was completely shocked when he heard the words.

appropriate?

It's so damn appropriate.

I don't know how to thank you enough.

Thinking of Guanyin Bodhisattva's confession before leaving, Chen Xuanzang almost burst into tears, and said with a moved face: "Thank you for your kindness, it's just that Guanyin Bodhisattva gave an explanation earlier, this journey to the west is the most test of the sincerity of the Buddhist scriptures, so the poor monk needs to go step by step. Let's go."

"In addition, my disciple Chen Xuanzang went to the west to learn scriptures, but his naked eyes were blind and he didn't know the real shape of the Living Buddha. Now I would like to make an oath: I will burn incense in temples on the way, worship Buddha when I meet Buddha, and sweep towers when I meet Buddha. I hope that my Buddha will be merciful, and I will show up as soon as Zhang Liu. The golden body, the scriptures are bestowed, and passed on to the east."

"Therefore, Xuanzang does not need the imperial army or flying boats to escort him. All he needs is a certificate of customs clearance, a purple gold bowl, two attendants to carry the load, and a BMW for his legs."

Chen Xuanzang refused with tears in his eyes.

If possible, he also wants to take a flying boat to travel to Xitian Daleiyin Temple at public expense.

However, those guys from Lingshan Buddhism didn't allow it, and deliberately made things difficult for me, a young monk.

What can I do, I am also very desperate!

The baby is suffering, but the baby can't say it!

However, not only Chen Xuanzang was suffering, but Li Shimin was also feeling cold.

You are walking to Daleiyin Temple in Xitian, and you have to burn incense in the temple, worship Buddha when you meet Buddha, and sweep tower when you meet tower.

Meow, have you considered my feelings as an older brother?

As long as you dawdle like this, by the time you get back the scriptures, brother and my grave will be completely ruined.

Li Shimin's heart was full of bitterness, he stared at Chen Xuanzang affectionately, seeing that he was unmoved, he could only say sadly: "Brother Yu, I really miss you as a brother!"

If you really leave like this, in what life will you be able to retrieve the scriptures for Brother Wei!

It's just that Chen Xuanzang said it all, and this is the confession of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

What can Li Shimin do? He is also very desperate. He can only resist the urge to cry, and change the subject and ask, "What is Yudi's nickname?"

Chen Xuanzang said: "The poor monk is a monk, and he does not dare to be named."

Li Shimin thought for a while, and said: "At that time, the Bodhisattva said that there are three Tibetan scriptures in the Western Paradise, and Yudi can refer to the scriptures to get the title. How about the title of Tripitaka?"

When Chen Xuanzang heard the words, the corner of his mouth twitched, wishing he could kill Li Shimin directly.

You gave me such an arrogant title of "San Zang", do you want to borrow a knife to kill someone and let other monks beat me to death?

What is Sanzang?

Tripitaka is a general term for Buddhist classics.

Taking the Dharma name Tripitaka, doesn’t it mean that you know all the Buddhist scriptures, or that you represent the whole of Buddhism?

It's too arrogant, it's completely full of hatred!

However, under the eaves, he had to bow his head.

In this Taiji Hall, in front of the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty, Master Chen Sanzang really dared not refuse.

I could only accept it with tears in my eyes.

Don't ask, it's just too touching.
