The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 31 0031, traveling westward
Tang Wang repeatedly confirmed the benefits of Mahayana Buddhism to Tang Sanzang, and then asked him if he would go west to retrieve Mahayana Buddhism.Tang Sanzang agreed to Tang Wang without hesitation, and then sworn brothers with Tang Wang.

On the day Tang Wang and Tang Sanzang became sworn brothers, all the streets in Chang'an were empty.They all went to the gate of the palace, where they watched the sworn ceremony of Tang Wang and Tang Sanzang.

Tang Wang was a few years older than Tang Sanzang, so he called Tang Sanzang his younger brother.Then Tang Sanzang's parents were canonized, and the original intention was to take them to Chang'an City to spend their old age in peace.Finally rejected by Tang Sanzang, he wanted his parents to live an ordinary life in Jiangzhou.

In Jiangzhou, they are the parents of one party, and no one restrains them no matter what they do.So staying there is the best choice. Once you enter Chang'an City, you will be involuntary.

The road to the west needs to walk a total of one hundred and eight thousand miles.Tang Sanzang has been studying the road map these days, and going out with Tang Wang to relax.He could understand Tang Wang's intentions. After all, this trip was more or less auspicious, and he wanted Tang Sanzang to enjoy a period of glory and wealth before he left.

There was an old man who sang at the gate of the city, and he took his little granddaughter to sing in the cold winter months.At the most, I can earn one tael of silver a day, and at the least, the money I earn is not enough to eat.Tang Sanzang knew the two of them, even though he became a brother with Tang Wang, he did not help.

Because he has already seen the character of the two of them, the old man likes to eat roast goose from a restaurant in the city.As long as I have money, I will go to that restaurant. My granddaughter likes to wear new clothes.Every time after earning money, I would go to the tailor shop to make a new dress for myself.

Tang Sanzang once calculated the income of the two of them. Excluding some necessary expenses, the two of them could save five or six taels of silver every month.If they can save their money, they can build a nice house in Chang'an within a year.

It is an eternal truth that saving the emergency is not helping the poor.If Tang Sanzang helps, they may get a life without worrying about food and clothing.But so what, they don't even have a plan for their lives, so why let others pay for their indifference.

At the bridgehead in the city, there is a blind luthier who plays the piano at the bridgehead on time every day.Regardless of the wind and rain, she will appear at the bridgehead on time.Her peers bullied her and drove her to the entrance of Qiaowei Hutong where the traffic is the least.The little gangsters on the street also bullied her, and came to trouble her every day.

She never complained, just worked hard to earn a penny.Until one day, Tang Sanzang never saw the blind luthier at the bridge again.I found out later that she has been playing the piano at Qiaotou for more than ten years.Although she doesn't earn much every day and is often bullied, she has been saving money on food and expenses.

After more than ten years, she saved a sum of money.He went back to the countryside and bought a house and bought a lot of land.She can't work in the fields, but she can rent out the land for rent.If you don't want to be rich and powerful, you will not have to worry about food and clothing.Because of her kind heart, she later married a son who was not a member.

There are all kinds of emotions in the world, joy, anger, sorrow and joy.Tang Sanzang has gone through the reincarnation of the ninth life, and these days he has been recalling the past of the ninth life.The more he doesn't want to recall, the more it resurfaces in his mind over and over again.This kind of torment is undoubtedly a kind of torment, the more you try to forget, the more you will remember it.

Winter has passed, and it is summer in a blink of an eye.Tang Sanzang packed his luggage in the house, he has lived in the palace for more than half a year.It was early winter, and I was worried that snow on the road would not be good for safety.At that time, King Tang had an appointment with him and sent him away in Xia Tian.

Wearing a brocade cassock, holding a tin staff with nine rings, and a white horse behind him.

This is a first-class horse selected from the army by the king of Tang himself. It has a top speed of [-] kilometers per hour, and can really travel thousands of miles a day and [-] nights.He hoped to give Tang Sanzang a little more security, knowing the danger ahead.With such a first-class horse as his companion, at least he can run faster when he is running for his life.

Tang Wang personally handed over the sachet to Tang Sanzang, which contained a fistful of soil.This trip is not only difficult, but I am afraid there will be many temptations.Tang Wang did this to let Tang Sanzang remember that no matter how far he went, he had to remember to go home.

After sending it outside the city gate, Tang Wang said: "My brother, do you want me to send someone to escort you? Even if you send it out of the border of the Tang Dynasty."

Tang Sanzang shook his head with a smile, "Brother Emperor, it's a long journey to the west this time, no matter what happens, I need to face it by myself. Even if you send someone to send me out of the border of the Tang Dynasty, don't I need to go on my own in the future?" ? Don't worry, I know what will happen in the future, so don't worry, I will come back within three to five years."

Tang Wang said: "My brother, this piece of land is the land of my hometown. I hope that I will take it with me no matter how far I go. I hope that my brother will remember our agreement. When you come back from learning scriptures, there will be Buddhist temples everywhere in the Tang Dynasty." .”

Tang Sanzang said: "It is better to love a piece of land in your hometown than ten thousand taels of gold in another country. Don't worry, brother, I know what to do."

Tang Wang led all the civil and military officials to stop at the city gate, because Tang Sanzang did not allow him to go out of the city gate.Tang Sanzang, who recovered all his memories, blessed Tang Wang with a protective spell.As long as he doesn't leave Chang'an City, even Da Luo Jinxian can't touch him at all.So before he left, he repeatedly told King Tang not to leave Chang'an City until he came back.

Some people want him to travel thousands of miles west, and of course some people want to stop this journey westward.Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and everyone has their own difficulties.Jin Chanzi was reincarnated as Tang Sanzang, and Tang Wang became Jin Chanzi's sworn brother.If this matter spreads to the Buddhist world, someone will definitely trouble King Tang.

Even if they don't come forward in person, they will definitely send someone to look for trouble.Jin Chanzi couldn't stay in Chang'an City forever, so he left a guardian spell for his brother.

Of course, there is one more important point, which is the real purpose of this mission.Tathagata asked Sister Guanyin to convey to save the Three Realms, but what Jin Chanzi wanted to do was to disrupt the order of the Three Realms.I hope that there will be a thorough reshuffle, so that those high-ranking immortals and Buddhas can experience what joy, anger, sorrow and joy are.

Some people are born with endless prosperity and wealth, and some people are born poor and poor all their lives.Some people live in an emperor's family but want to live an ordinary life, and some people live in a peasant family and want to become an emperor.There are many things in this world that cannot be explained, and everyone's life is like a cage.Everyone doesn't like their own cage, and desperately wants to get into someone else's cage.

In fact, they don't know that the cage they dream of is actually very disliked by others.This situation is very similar to the most popular phenomenon at the moment. Everyone wants to leave the place where they are tired and tired, and want to go to those places that are said to be beautiful.

In fact, it is just going from the place where you are troubled to a place where others are troubled.And people call this phenomenon tourism.

Looking at the gradually fading Chang'an city gate, Tang Sanzang got off his horse.He glanced at the sky, then led the horse to the river.He himself was a little confused, why he felt so sad this time despite having experienced so many partings.He couldn't even say why he was sad, but he just felt very uncomfortable.

Sitting by the river, some fishermen passed by in their boats. When they saw Tang Sanzang, they saluted respectfully. Everyone would call him Elder Tang.Who put this elder on him, he didn't figure it out until he came back from learning the scriptures.However, he seemed to understand a truth. He carried the hopes of many people on his journey.

The king of Tang hoped that he could return safely, and then pass on the Mahayana Buddhism to the Tang Dynasty.Let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and let the Tang Dynasty enjoy everything in peace.The people hope that he can return safely, and then pass on Mahayana Buddhism to them.Let them avoid disasters and live a happy life with their families.

The monks hoped that he would return safely, and then he would tell them the Mahayana Dharma.After learning it, Purdue will last a lifetime, and the world will be peaceful and there will be no more suffering. Isn't it a great joy in life.

Thinking of this, Tang Sanzang finally figured it out.The reason why he was reluctant to leave was because there were too many people and things that he couldn't let go of.The most important thing is that he shoulders the hopes of so many people.Nine reincarnations, every time he is the last one to leave.Relatives left one by one, and every time he was the one who saw them off.

This time was different, this time he was the one who was sent.Although he already had a plan in his heart, at this moment he was no longer attached to that plan.If these people can really get what they want, he might really devote himself to traveling west to obtain the scriptures.Even if it is ridiculed by the Buddhas, even if it is demoted to hell.

"Do you know Xiaobai? Actually, I don't hate him at all, but why can't he stand up and say a word for me? Even a word is fine." Tang Sanzang said to Baima.

He had bitterness in his heart but never said it, because he didn't want people who didn't understand him to laugh at him, let alone worry those who cared about him.So he kept it in his heart all the time, eating all the hardships alone, and carrying all the burdens alone.

There are many laws in Daleiyin Temple, but none of them can restrain those who are not determined.All living beings in the Three Realms, but none of them could walk side by side with him.He has struggled for nine lifetimes and is trying to change in his own way.But in the end he didn't succeed, in the end he just became a pawn in the eyes of others.

Letting him return to Lingshan today is like expelling him from Lingshan and relegating him to the human world.Throw it aside when not in use, and pick it up when it is useful.

Tang Sanzang took out the small pendant hanging around his neck, and only after seeing it would he show a happy smile.It was given to him by his mother when he left Jiangzhou, and the pendant is his mother's family heirloom.It was white on the outside and there was a drop of red inside. Tang Sanzang didn't know what it was.

His mother told him that no matter where he went, he had to remember to go home often.Does Tang Sanzang have a home?Yes, he knows home is where his parents are.But can he go back?cannot.In the ninth reincarnation, he did too many things, which he took for granted, but invisibly ruined the good deeds of many people.

They were all trying to find trouble with Tang Sanzang, and they didn't dare to confront him face to face.Naturally, he would focus on his parents, so he would rather his parents live in seclusion in Jiangzhou, even in the countryside.An Xiang's old age is better than anything else, but he probably won't have the chance to go back and see them.

Tang Sanzang put the pendant back, stood up and patted the white horse's buttocks.Sighing: "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, following me, you are really unlucky for eight lifetimes. In the army, you must be the exclusive horse of the general. Unfortunately, I can only carry luggage with me."

The white horse seemed to understand Tang Sanzang's words, and honked a few times.Then he turned the horse's head to look in the direction it came from, snorted a few times and turned back to the horse's head.

Seeing such a spiritual white horse for the first time, Tang Sanzang patted its belly and said, "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. When we return to Chang'an City in the future, your brothers will definitely envy you to death." .You are definitely the first white horse that can travel westward for hundreds of thousands of miles."
