The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 30 0030, Tang Wang Kuanren makes great wishes
Tang Sanzang left Jiangzhou and went all the way north to the city of Chang'an.In the temples in the city, he placed orders and preached scriptures to monks every day.At first, others thought that he was overconfident and dared to give lectures in the monasteries in Chang'an City.Not to mention the gathering of eminent monks in Chang'an City, even this monastery has many eminent monks who have attained the Tao.

Some people came to ask Tang Sanzang for scriptures, some came to Tang Sanzang for the Dharma, and some asked Tang Sanzang for Zen.Among them, there are many famous eminent monks from big temples, as well as little-known poor monks from small temples.When they left, they all made the same movement, bowing to Tang Sanzang to the end, to express their sincere submission to Tang Sanzang.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the king of Tang led all the civil and military officials to the temple to offer incense.Tang Sanzang has been in this monastery for eighteen months. After the last lecture today, he will fulfill his original promise to his master.Follow in his footsteps and take a look at the beautiful scenery along the way.

A vigorous old monk appeared outside the monastery. He seemed to be over seventy years old, but he walked vigorously.Before the soldiers guarding the door stopped him, he had already stepped into the gate of the temple.Shout to the hall, sell cassocks, sell Zen sticks.

Someone suddenly appeared in the temple, and Tang Wang's entourage went to check.I wanted to drive the old monk out, but was stopped by King Tang.

Tang Wang asked: "Master, how much do you charge for this cassock and Zen staff?"

The old monk smiled and said, "The Zen stick is 6000 taels, and the cassock is [-] taels."

"So expensive."

"That's right, it's too expensive."

"It seems that it must not be Fanpin."

The civil and military officials behind King Tang were discussing in low voices, but were finally stopped by King Tang's light cough.

The old monk continued: "Both of these are treasures of mine, and I will not sell them casually. I will not take any money from monks who can hold these two treasures. I will not sell them for any amount given to monks who cannot hold these two treasures."

The king of Tang asked, "How can I hold it?"

The old monk smiled and said nothing, which made Tang Wang feel a little embarrassed.

At noon, the king of Tang ordered the old monk to be invited into the palace.On the main hall, King Tang and the ministers met the old monk here.They just learned an even more shocking news. The six thousand and eighteen thousand that the old monk said were not silver but gold.Even in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that no one would pay so much for a cassock and Zen staff.

Tang Wang asked: "Old monk, are you kidding me? The two things together cost 4000 taels of gold. Can you tell me what is so special about these two things?"

When the old monk spoke eloquently, everyone present was shocked.

The cassock was called the Jinlan cassock, inlaid with seven treasures and gold threads.After unfolding, it shines brightly, and when worn on the body, it is invulnerable to water and fire.It is one of the ten guardian treasures of Buddhism, sewed by the ancestor of ten thousand Buddhas himself.

The tin rod is called the Nine-ring Tin Rod, and it is composed of 81 Nine-Turn Resurrection Pills.It is extremely light in the hand, but it is as heavy as Mount Tai in the hands of the demon.However, with multiple injuries, as long as the nine-ring tin rod is in hand, it will heal within an hour.

Of course, these two treasures are only useful to mortals, and have little effect on monsters.

The king of Tang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and ordered people to call the monk he saw in the temple today to the main hall.He has heard about Tang Sanzang for a long time. Back then, he defeated the number one eminent monk in the Western Regions, and made Datang a great prestige in front of the people of the Western Regions.Tang Wang was still a teenager at that time, and he couldn't help clapping his hands and applauding after learning about it.

Now that he could see Tang Sanzang, how could Tang Wang miss such an opportunity.It is true that there are eminent monks every year, but Tang Sanzang is the only one.Tang Sanzang walked up to the main hall, the old monk looked at Tang Sanzang and nodded slightly.The latter ignored the old monk, but respectfully saluted the king of Tang.

The old monk was almost about to question Tang Sanzang just now, but luckily she remembered her identity at that time.And Tang Sanzang didn't get enlightened either, he didn't know his true identity.

Tang Wang said to Tang Sanzang: "Master, I met this monk by chance today. He is selling two treasures. I think they are quite suitable for you. Try it out. If it suits you, I will buy it and give it to you."

Tang Sanzang repeatedly shied away, and finally he had to listen to the king's words, put on the brocade cassock, and held the nine-ringed tin rod in his hand.The moment the tin stick landed, the hall was filled with light.It was so shaking that people couldn't open their eyes, and after the strong light passed, there was a faint fragrance in the air, which seemed extraordinary.

In an instant, countless memories rushed into Tang Sanzang's brain.All the memories came back to his mind, now being put in order.

"Sister Guanyin?" Tang Sanzang looked at the old monk in disbelief and shouted.

The old monk nodded with a smile, stepped forward and patted Tang Sanzang on the shoulder, and said, "The time has come, sister should go back and return to her life, what I should say about my sister has been written in the letter, you will understand after reading it. "

The old monk walked slowly towards the main entrance of the hall, Tang Wang and all the ministers looked at him suspiciously, but when he turned his head, he showed a shallow smile at Tang Sanzang.

After a puff of white smoke, the old monk turned into a Guanyin master holding a jade purification bottle.The king of Tang led all his officials to go out to worship, and Tang Sanzang stood at the gate of the main hall, staring blankly at the white clouds that were drifting away.He didn't want to go back to the place he hated, but there were a few people he cared about.

Avalokitesvara did not follow the requirements of the Buddha. Originally, he should have questioned Tang Sanzang in front of the king of Tang, and revealed the answer when he was speechless.The routine should be like this, but Guanyin threw those words into the trash can after seeing the golden cicada who was reincarnated as Tang Sanzang.

She just handed over the cassock and tin staff to Tang Sanzang, and then fled the human world.She was afraid that she would be reluctant to leave if she stayed any longer, or that she would perform missions with Tang Sanzang.But she can't do that because she needs to stay with Buddha.If you want to give Tang Sanzang more help, staying with the Buddha is the wisest choice.

Tang Sanzang looked at the sky for a long time and refused to bow his head. Of course he was not looking at Guanyin who left, but at another place beyond the sky.Ordinary people can't see it, but he, a reincarnated Buddha, can see it naturally.There are thousands of Buddhas there, and there are Tathagatas who are respected by the world as Buddhas.

Tang Sanzang withdrew his gaze and said to Tang Wang: "We only have Hinayana Buddhism here. No matter how hard the monks practice, they can only avoid some disasters in the end. No matter how hard the monks try to save them, they can only eliminate some diseases in the end. They cannot solve the fundamental problems. , and can’t help those who really need it.”

Tang Sanzang said that he needed to travel far away.It may take a long time to go to a far away place to retrieve the scriptures that write the Mahayana Dharma.But if it succeeds, everyone in the world can become a Buddha.All monks in the world can save people, and all disasters in the world can be avoided.

The benefits of Mahayana Buddhism are not limited to these. It can transcend the souls of the dead and enter the heavens as soon as possible.It can turn bad people into good people and better people, and it can make everyone put down their butcher knives. From now on, there will be no killings, no wars, and only peace and prosperity in the world.

What this said not only made the heartbeats of the ministers quicken, but even the king of Tang came over excitedly.Pulling Tang Sanzang's arm and insisting that he explain clearly, where is the legendary Mahayana Buddhism?Is it necessary for him to send people to retrieve it, and how many people to send is appropriate, one or two thousand or one or two thousand.

The tone of King Tang's words clearly seemed to be attacking a city.Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Tang Sanzang. He couldn't tell Tang Wang where the Mahayana Buddhism was.Because mortals can't get to that place at all, and there is a 24-hour guard system in that place.

Not to mention the morning and afternoon, even in the second half of the night, the security there is sacred.The security level in the Human World Emperor is the highest.But if it is placed in that place, the emperor's security level is ten levels lower than the god level, not to mention the sacred level which is two levels higher than the god level.

Tang Sanzang only told them the benefits of Mahayana Buddhism, but he didn't have the difficulty factor to obtain it.If you follow Tang Wang's way of thinking, you can increase all the soldiers under his command by ten times.Going there is just looking for a dead end, and there is no chance to see those scriptures.

Taking advantage of the gap between Tang Wang and the ministers, Tang Sanzang opened the letter left by his sister Avalokitesvara.Her handwriting is still as beautiful as her characters, and a smiling face is still drawn at the end.In just three pages of manuscript paper, it tells about a task that made Tang Sanzang angry.

Why should he be asked to perform this task?
Why should he be asked to take on this mission?
Don't tell him what bullshit destiny is, he has already seen through all fate.The good or bad life of mortals in the human world mostly comes from their past actions.The cycle of karma and retribution is not good, and no one can escape this law.

But in many cases, the fate of some people will change because of a small episode, or even reverse the trajectory of a person's life.

Such as illness, such as a car accident, such as an accident.Tang Sanzang in the past didn't understand these things, and the reincarnation of the ninth life made him understand the most deeply, which is the true meaning of these four words.

Why can't their fate be controlled by themselves, why should their life and death be decided by others.Why should their preferences be decided by others, and why their emotions cannot be controlled by themselves.

He decided to do something to prove himself right.He also needs to change something to prove that he has that ability.He also needs to form a team to support each other in the days to come.In this life he is Tang Sanzang, but in memory he is Jin Chanzi.

He has always been a person who can move his mouth and try not to move his hands as much as possible, but he is not ambiguous at all when he really moves his hands.However, his combat power is not too strong, ranking in the [-]s in the entire Buddhist world.He needs to form a team of his own to realize the plan he has been pondering for a long time.

Once this plan is successful, he will never have to go back to that place.Of course, his plan is now top secret, and no one knows about it except himself.

In order to start his plan, he must accept the mission.Isn't it just to form a team with the three guys and walk back to the west, what's the big deal.His stubbornness came up again, and he rubbed the letter into his mouth and ate it.The little eunuch on the side watched him swallow, as if envious that he could eat paper so deliciously.

Glancing at the Tang king and other ministers who were still discussing, Tang Sanzang waved his hands at the little eunuch, and said in a low voice, "If there is any water, why don't you bring me a glass, my throat is a bit dry."

The little eunuch looked at Tang Sanzang like an idiot, turned around and ran to pour him a glass of water.It looked like he was on duty not long ago, otherwise, how could he not understand the truth of not showing his emotions or anger?Tang San who took the water glass muttered in his heart, his eyes moved away from the little eunuch, and looked at King Tang who was walking towards him.
