Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Chapter 426 My Imperial Brother Returns!

The people of Chenjiazhuang who came one step later stood on the bank of Tongtian River and looked towards the east. Although they saw only an empty blue sky, they seemed to believe that Master Sanzang felt their sending eyes.

The sun is shining now.

The raging waves just now were long gone.

"Ugh."

After a while, Chen Cheng let out a long sigh, turned around and said to the villagers behind him: "Okay, don't look at it if you are late, you are late, they are leaving on the clouds, and I am afraid that they have already returned to the big city by now." Don't."

Chen Guanbao and Yicheng Jin paid another respectful salute to Dongfang, but couldn't hide their disappointment.

If Master Sanzang hadn't passed by Chenjiazhuang back then and subdued the king of inspiration who occupied the Tongtian River, the two sisters and younger brothers would have died in the belly of the fish long ago.

When Master Sanzang was going west, he agreed to come to Chenjiazhuang as a guest when he passed by. They calculated the time and had been planning for several years, just to entertain Master Sanzang again. Unexpectedly, they still missed it.

grunt-

I saw a vision in the water, it was the river god in the Tongtian River coming ashore.

Everyone in Chenjiazhuang rushed to greet each other, and the God of the River naturally didn't dare to neglect, especially since Chen Guanbao and Yicheng Jin were still there, so he returned the gift without panic and dissatisfaction, and then said slowly: "Everyone, don't be impatient. Right now Master Sanzang has something to say, It is said that I have obtained the scriptures, and I have to send them back to Chang'an urgently, and then I have to go back to Lingshan. After everything is consummated, I will fulfill my promise."

When everyone in Chenjiazhuang heard this, they immediately burst into smiles.

Datang, Chang'an.

Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, after receiving Wang Xuance's reinstatement, knew that Sanzang had already gone to Lingshan and would return to Beijing in a few days, so he directly lived in the Wangjinglou for a few days.

In fact, this Wangjing Tower also has a history. It was in the 13th year of Zhenguan in September Wangqian sent Tang Monk out of the city three days ago, and heard that Sanzang left and said that he would return in three years. Therefore, in September of the 16th year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty Waiting outside the city for more than a month, just waiting for Yudi to return.

Unfortunately, there is no news.

It was also thanks to the envoys from Baoxiang Kingdom, Wuji Kingdom and Chechi Kingdom who arrived in time and let Li Shimin know that Yudi's westward journey is not only safe, but also almost "expanding the territory", which made him feel relieved and also Tell those black armored cavalry who are ready to go west at any time to stand still for the time being.

This scene bluffed the envoy of the Three Kingdoms to say in private, thanks to our friendship with Master Sanzang, we have never had any bad intentions, otherwise... disasters are imminent!

It was also after the 16th year of Zhenguan that Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, sent officials from the Ministry of Industry to build a Wangjinglou outside Chang'an Pass to receive scriptures, and he would come here to live for a month every September.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was unusual, and even led his troops to gallop on the battlefield recklessly, fighting south and north.The imperial palace may be able to trap other emperors, but it definitely cannot stop his footsteps.

Where I am is the country.

Throughout the ages, there have been very few emperors who can say this.

He was in the Wangjing Tower, so the Wangjing Tower was the emperor's palace, and all the officials should have accompanied him, but now, all the officials were left in the palace to assist the crown prince in governing, only Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance accompanied him.

"Your Majesty, let's look west!"

Both Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui are top-notch human beings, and they saw the mist and fragrant wind in the west at a glance, and immediately called His Majesty who was practicing calligraphy in the building to watch.

Li Shimin bears the aura of Ziwei emperor, and he is also extraordinary. With a glance, he can see all the auspicious blessings from the west, and he shouted happily: "My royal brother is coming back! Hahaha——"

Immediately afterwards, while laughing, Li Shimin went down to the attic, and waved to the two courtiers: "You two lovers, follow me to greet you."

Seeing that he was approaching the border of Chang'an, Fa Hai immediately stopped Yuntou, and said to several disciples: "Going back to the hometown as a teacher, it is disrespectful and disrespectful to drive on the cloud, and press down on Yuntou, let's go over."

Several disciples of course had no objections.

Especially the Great Sage, who even said with a smile: "Master has a huge row, and there is Ziwei Emperor Qi rushing towards Xiaohan in front, but it blocks the cloud path."

"The Tang Dynasty is different from other countries. You guys... will see you in a while, and you must be courteous to your Majesty." Fa Hai gave them a rare instruction.

"Yes." The Great Sage, as a senior brother, naturally expressed his position on behalf of several juniors, and responded immediately: "I will definitely not lose face of the master."

The five masters and apprentices went in the direction of Wangjinglou.

Li Shimin also led the two lovers to meet him halfway, and when they looked at Sanzang, he walked a few steps closer. When he saw that Sanzang was about to greet him first, he stretched out his hand to hold Sanzang's raised hand, and then firmly Tighten up, there seems to be a thousand words to say at this moment, but when it comes to my mouth, I can only say one sentence in the end: "Brother Yu has worked hard all the way."

"Go, go home."

Li Shimin took Master Sanzang by the hand, and instead of going to the Sutra-watching Tower, he went directly to Chang'an City.

"Your Majesty." Fa Hai stopped for a while.

"Huh?" Li Shimin straightened his face and glared at Sanzang.

Fa Hai paused, and had no choice but to say: "Brother Huang."

"Haha——" Li Shimin saw his smile again, "Why did you leave me for 14 years, and you are separated from me?"

"How dare you little monk."

"Hmph." Li Shimin said, "Don't you think I don't know? Along the way, the lords of various countries in Western Continent have exhausted all their efforts to win over your younger brother. You are a teacher or a national teacher, entrusting the government to the government; there are even some who use a country as a dowry to recruit you as the lord of the country. The emperor of the Zhu Kingdom made a good plan, first let my brother-in-law be his son-in-law What else does he want to do?"

Hearing His Majesty's words, Fa Hai couldn't help recalling all the incidents along the way, and when he heard the last sentence he said, he pretended to be annoyed, so he explained: "Your Majesty has learned from you, just now Your Majesty The little monk did not follow what he said."

It was so, but his heart was still warm.

If His Majesty hadn't been concerned all the time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have known about these things.

In fact, Sanzang and His Majesty were not acquaintances at all, but because of the matter of learning the scriptures, there was such a fortune of Jin Lan's friendship.

If Fa Hai himself, this is the first time to see this talented emperor.

After all, he came from the "Later Song Dynasty", so he inevitably made some comparisons with the Emperor Zhao at that time, but after a while, he silently murmured a few sins in his heart, but he should not have humiliated Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty like this.

This is also inevitable.

Fa Hai is a fellow Taoist friend, and they are all eminent monks in the Southern Song Dynasty.
"The poor monk has committed a lot of crimes." Fa Hai said in his heart at this moment: "If I hadn't focused on slaying demons and demons back then, maybe I should have looked more at the world."

Although it is said that practitioners do not pollute the court, we ordinary monks should do something and not do something.

And Fa Hai once heard a saying - "Small things can be changed, but the general trend cannot be changed", which is used to describe the rules of heaven.

Thinking of this, Fa Hai made up his mind: If the wheel of history will continue to move forward according to the established track, then why not try to use this pair of mantis arms to steer the wheel further?

Just like this trip to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures, haven't some of the things I know have changed?

After a few words of effort, the two parties have already become familiar with each other. It is needless to mention the charisma and means of Tang Emperor Li Shimin, and he treats Sanzang with sincerity.

How could Fa Hai not be able to tell the difference?
Fa Hai readily accepted His Majesty's enthusiasm.

Wangjing Tower was still some distance away from Chang'an City, and the two "brothers" were walking and talking in front of them. Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui naturally exchanged greetings with the Great Sage and the others.

As for the saying that the Great Sage and Bajie are not human-like, it is quite common for the two of them.

One has been abroad for a long time, and ghosts and ghosts are not uncommon; a veteran in the battlefield, there are not a few ghosts who died in his hands. Relatively speaking, the Great Sage and Bajie are still human.

Whether it is Wang Xuance or Xue Rengui, they are all heroic people, quite in line with the temperament of the Great Sage. Especially the Great Sage can see that the extraordinary thing about this Great General Xue is the white tiger star descending from the sky.

It's not the White Tiger Star Lord on the list of gods, but the White Tiger Star who accompanied Ziwei Xing down to earth.

As for Emperor Yijia, it is still further behind.

A quick horse had already returned to the city to report. At this moment, His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince who oversees the country's justice, issued a series of orders, preparing to open the gates of the city and lead all the officials out of Chang'an to meet the emperor and Yudi.

Li Shimin may also be controlling his pace. When he saw the smoke and dust outside Chang'an City from a distance, he knew that there was movement in the city, so he left in no hurry. He had to give the city some time to prepare, and it was also a good time to see how the prince's coping ability was. .

It was not difficult for Fa Hai to sense His Majesty's intentions, and he readily cooperated, following His Majesty's pace, gradually slowing down.

"Brother." Li Shimin paused for a while, but turned around at this moment, looked at the people behind him who got along well, and asked with a smile: "I guess these are some high-ranking disciples, right?"

"These are a few villains." Fa Hai waved to them, and when they approached, Fa Hai said to His Majesty, "Your Majesty does not know, when I left Chang'an, I followed two disciples when I passed Shuangcha Ridge. But they were eaten by the monsters in the mountains, they are the apprentices I accepted on the way."

"This is the great disciple Sun Wukong." Fa Hai led the great sage to his side and introduced a sentence to His Majesty.

"I also know the name of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven who caused disturbances in the Heavenly Palace 500 years ago." Li Shimin cupped his hands towards the Great Sage.
Seeing that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was about to salute, the Great Sage rushed to the front, performed a Buddhist ritual, and said: "I have seen Your Majesty, my grandson is very polite. It's just the matter of making a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, please don't bring it up again, Your Majesty." .”

"Oh?" Li Shimin asked curiously, "Why?"

"At that time, my old grandson was young and energetic, and acted recklessly. Besides, he didn't have a good reputation."

"Young and vigorous." Li Shimin said after hearing this: "Isn't this just the appearance of a young man? When I was young, I also followed my father to rebel against the Sui Dynasty and galloped on the battlefield. Regardless of what the world thinks , but in the beginning, I am afraid it was due to the enthusiasm and recklessness of youth. Now that I am getting older and more mature, but in my heart, I am always thinking about the old spirit."

"It's a pity," Li Shimin sighed again: "My human race's lifespan is short, and being able to enjoy a moment of glory in these three realms is considered to have had a splendid life, but after all it cannot compare to you long-lived ones."

Fa Hai saw that he was still sentimental while he was talking, so he enlightened him: "Brother Majesty, there is no need to be so sad. The end of a person is not death. Those who leave a name in history will be immortal. With the heroic talent of the emperor, don't say A hundred years, even a thousand or ten thousand years later, it should be remembered by the descendants of the human race."

"Just like Emperor Qin and Han Wu." Li Shimin said with a sudden smile, "Although his body is dead, the spirit that remains in the world has never died, and it is the goal that our generation pursues and surpasses."

Promising kings of all dynasties, especially the founding lord, never wanted to surpass Qin Huang Han Wu.One completes the great unification, and the other seals the wolves and lives in Xu.
However, there are only a few emperors in later generations who can complete the great unification and build the country. It is not easy for the descendants of later generations to protect the integrity of the territory, let alone expand the territory and seal the wolves away.

But at this time, Li Shimin believed that he had achieved both.

Apart from the Xuanwu Sect, I have actually done enough in my life.No matter what the reason for the change of Xuanwu Gate is, killing brothers and murdering brothers to force fathers... This is after all a stain that cannot be erased from oneself.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that I can continue to spur myself, so that I can achieve the achievements I have today, and create the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Fa Hai on the side was still very keenly aware of a strange fluctuation in His Majesty's heart, but he didn't say much.

Fahai introduced Bajie and Wujing to His Majesty, and explained their life experiences in detail, which attracted Li Shimin's praise again and again.

Especially after knowing that Bajie eats a lot, he said directly: "Since the elder has come to Chang'an, there is no need to worry about eating. When I go back, I will tell the imperial dining room that as long as I am still alive, the elder will not have to hand over the fasting to others." gone."

"Your Majesty is really open!" Although Bajie was happy to hear it, he also knew the depth. After thanking His Majesty for his kindness, he said seriously: "But there is no need to feed me like this. Otherwise, the practice will be wasted, and I am afraid that Master will use it. The Buddha flame refines my whole body."

It is strange to say.

Bajie doesn't eat meat, and he fights with the Great Sage or the Little White Dragon every day, and he also does a lot of exercise, but he still can't lose his figure.

Finally, I saw Xiaobailong.

After knowing that the Dragon King of Jinghe was Xiao Bailong's uncle, Li Shimin apologized to Xiao Bailong again: "I'm sorry, when the Dragon King of Jinghe asked for help, but because of my negligence, the Dragon King's life was killed, please also ask the third prince Don't blame me."

"Your Majesty is serious. Back then, my uncle had violated the rules of heaven by arbitrarily changing the time and number of rains. Your Majesty is already grateful for his help. How dare you blame him?"

Li Shimin was also quite emotional about this, after all, in his opinion, the matter of the Dragon King of Jinghe was the beginning of going west to learn scriptures.

When thinking of this, Li Shimin remembered to ask: "My dear brother, when we first met, I felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while, and it was only at this moment that I suddenly realized what was wrong. Didn’t you see the scriptures my virtuous brother brought from Lingshan?”

The Great Sage pointed to the race bag on his waist, and said with a smile, "Because there are too many scriptures, all of them are contained in this spiritual treasure."

While speaking, everyone was already approaching the gate of Chang'an City.

Seeing that His Majesty wanted to show it to others, the Great Sage released four cabinets from the ethnographic bag, and then blew with his fingers, and the cabinets turned into carts carrying scriptures. four for one person
But Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui saw that Ba Jie and Wu Jing were still responsible for saluting, so they took them over.
