Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Master, if you don't believe in Buddhism, why should you claim to believe in men?" Xuanzang had already vaguely guessed Li Min's identity, but he didn't show any signs of anything strange. Instead, he directly pointed out that what Li Min had just said was a lie.  After saying this, he turned to Liu Renjiu next to him: "I haven't seen you for many days, but Liu Ren's style remains the same."

    Liu Rengui said respectfully: "Master, you're welcome!" Then he returned to Li Min and stopped talking.

    Li Min had known that Xuanzang would recognize Liu Rengui, so he was not surprised. However, he was a little surprised by the previous sentences and said, "Oh? How did Master Xuanzang know that Yang did not believe in Buddhism? Did the Buddha tell the master  ?"

    "When believers come to the Tooth Relic Shrine, they are naturally devout. How can they be like the young master? They all look like they are having fun and do not show any respect for the Tooth Relic Shrine." Xuanzang said with a smile.

    After hearing this, Li Min was stunned for a moment, and then burst into hearty laughter. He just wanted to make a joke, but he didn't expect that Master Xuanzang's observation was so keen that he could detect even such small details.  And he also exposed him to his face, which is far from the image of the bad good guy in later Journey to the West.

    After Li Min smiled, Xuanzang continued: "Although the young master is not a believer, the fact that he and the poor monk can meet in this Buddha Tooth Relic Temple can be regarded as a predestined relationship with the Buddha. If the young master does not dislike it, you can go  Go and sit in the poor monk's Zen room."

    "Since the master has invited me, Yang is naturally more respectful than obeying the order. However, as for the idea of ??being predestined with the Buddha, the young master does not believe it, otherwise he will be scolded by his ancestors!" Li Min said half-jokingly.

    Xuanzang was stunned for a moment when he heard the last sentence, and then he reacted. At the same time, he became more certain about Li Min's identity. After the Li family called themselves Lao Tzu, they believed in Taoism.  Therefore, I am naturally not interested in Buddhism. It seems that I just made a mistake.

    However, Xuanzang's Buddhist teachings were profound and he didn't care about these small details, so he quickly returned to normal, and then invited Li Min to his Zen room to talk. Naturally, Li Min would not refuse, and followed him out of the Tooth Relic Temple.  After turning a corner, I came to a medium-sized temple and entered through a corner door.  Finally, we came to an independent small courtyard. A huge bodhi tree blocked the sky in the entire courtyard, and a simple Zen room stood under the bodhi tree.

    Li Min followed Xuanzang into the Zen room, and found that the layout in the Zen room was really simple, except for a low table and a few futons.  Nothing else.  However, when Li Min, Xuanzang and others sat down, a young novice soon presented them with a pot of tea and several teacups.

    At this time, Xuanzang smiled and said: "This is a fine tip given to a poor monk by a believer a few days ago. It can be used to entertain distinguished guests. Your Highness and the governor can taste it!"

    Li Min was not surprised at all when Xuanzang revealed his true identity. After all, Liu Rengui could accompany him in person and he was named Yang Liu.  Yang is Li Min's mother's surname, and he is ranked sixth, so anyone who is interested can probably analyze Li Min's true identity.

    "Good tea. The soup is orange and translucent, and the aroma of pine smoke is rich. This should be Maojian produced in Weishan." Liu Rengui picked up the tea cup and smelled the fragrance first.  Look at its color again, and then speak after tasting it.

    Although Li Min invented fried tea.  But I am not very proficient in tea tasting. I can only taste the quality of tea, but I cannot judge which kind of tea, so there is no interface on this topic.

    "Master Xuanzang has lived in Tianzhu for many years, so he must be very familiar with the situation in various parts of Tianzhu, right?" Li Yan took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.

    When Xuanzang heard Li Min's question, he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this has disappointed His Highness. Although the poor monk has been to various places in Tianzhu in the past few years, he only focused on seeking Buddha and did not pay much attention to other matters.  We only have a superficial understanding of the situation in various countries.¡±

    Li Min was not surprised after hearing this, and then asked: "The master's concentration on Buddhism is indeed admirable, but I don't know when the master is going to return to the country. If necessary, the king can send a fleet to escort the master back."

    Xuanzang pondered for a while and replied: "Thank you for your highness's kindness. Two years ago, the poor monk was ready to return to the Tang Dynasty. However, now Ceylon Island belongs to your highness's territory. It is no different from the Tang Dynasty. In addition, here  It is also a pure land of my Buddha, so the poor monk plans to stay here for two more years, translate some Buddhist scriptures, and then ship them to the country for printing and distribution!"

    "This is a good idea. Buddhism is prosperous here in the Buddha City, and the environment and atmosphere are much better than those in the Tang Dynasty. In addition, if the master needs anything, he can always ask Rengui. As long as the king can do it, he will not refuse.  !" Li Min said very boldly, but he didn't have any good ideas in mind.

    "Thank you, Your Highness!" Xuanzang acted very calmly.At this level, he had already taken foreign objects very lightly, and precisely because of this, he didn't feel too nervous when facing Li Min.

    However, Xuanzang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Highness, King Jiang and King Yue have now landed on the mainland of Tianzhu, and have also launched wars against the countries in the south of Tianzhu. Although I, a monk, cannot intervene in such national affairs.  Yes, but as the saying goes, God has the virtue of good life, I wonder if your highness can advise the two highnesses to stop fighting as soon as possible, so as to avoid the destruction of all living beings in the world?"

    Li Min almost laughed out loud when he heard Xuanzang's words, because he finally saw the good side of the other party, but there was no need to discuss this matter, and he had no intention of letting Li Yun and Li Zhen stop their troops, so he only saw  He said: "Master, I'm afraid I don't understand the purpose of the seventh and eighth brothers' trip. You must also know the situation in Nantianzhu. There has been war there for many years, and countless people have been displaced because of the war. Even the people who survived have not lived a good life."  It¡¯s also a precarious life.¡±

    Li Min paused for a moment when he said this, and then continued: "So after the seventh brother and the eighth brother learned about this situation, they made great ambitions to unify Tianzhu and end this local situation that was even more chaotic than the Warring States Period.  It can be said to be a good deed to relieve the people from hanging upside down, so it cannot be said that they want to invade Tianzhu, but that they came with peace and clarity to save the people in Tianzhu who are living in dire straits!"

    After listening to Li Min's call, Xuanzang was shocked and stunned. He probably never thought that people could be so shameless. He was not a three-year-old child anymore. It would be hell if he believed Li Min's lies.  Woolen cloth.

    However, although Xuanzang knew that Li Min was telling lies, he could do nothing about it. After all, he was just a monk, and it was taboo to interfere in such important military and political affairs. If he didn't know how to pursue him, it would be very difficult for him to do so.  It may arouse the dissatisfaction of His Highness the King of Qi.

    It was precisely with the above in mind that Xuanzang sighed and did not try to persuade him again. He just said with a compassionate heart: "It turns out that your two highnesses have some great ambitions, but the poor monk is a bit short-sighted. It's just that the saint said  As I said, God has the virtue of good things, and I hope that in the process of unifying Tianzhu, your two highnesses will have more benevolent thoughts and try to commit as few murders as possible!"

    "It's natural. My two brothers are not murderous people, and they are here for peace. Therefore, as long as the people of Tianzhu live under their rule, they will definitely not suffer from the flames of war!" Li Minyi  Deputy Dayi said with an awe-inspiring attitude.

    However, Liu Rengui, who was next to him, secretly smiled bitterly after hearing this. Speaking of it, King Jiang Li Yun was relatively kind, but the King of Yue Li Zhen was a natural general, and he was good at killing. In the conflicts with neighboring countries some time ago, many enemy countries  All the troops surrendered, but they were still slaughtered by him. This was somewhat similar to some generals of the Tang Dynasty. He was indeed a top student who graduated from Chang'an Military Academy.

    Although Xuanzang knew that Li Min's words were not credible, he had no choice. After all, this matter was beyond his ability.  Li Min also felt that the atmosphere was a bit tense, so he asked the other party for some information about his experiences from the Tang Dynasty to Tianzhu, as well as some customs and customs in various places in Tianzhu.

    Xuanzang naturally opened his mouth to answer Li Min's questions, and Li Min also listened with great interest. Although some of the things he learned from the other party were not as weird as Journey to the West, they were better than the truth, especially  It is said from the mouth of the person involved, which makes people feel more immersive.

    Li Min talked with Xuanzang for the whole afternoon, during which they also had a vegetarian meal with each other. It was not until the sun was setting that he stood up to say goodbye. When saying goodbye at the end, Li Min also told Xuanzang not to bother with the translation.  Buddhist scriptures, we must take some time to write down his experience of traveling from Tang Dynasty to Tianzhu in the west, and the more detailed the better.  After all, few people in later generations know what scriptures Tang Xuanzang brought back from Tianzhu, but they all know that he wrote "The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", which later evolved into the masterpiece "Journey to the West", which influenced countless people.

    When you first come to Buddha City, you may still feel very fresh, but after staying for a long time, you will feel a sense of boredom, because here is not only temples, but also temples, and the food is mainly vegetarian, especially the curry rice.  The prototype of the dish is to cook it with various spices and food. It tastes all kinds of fragrant and feels very weird. This makes Li Min, who is holding it in his mouth, particularly unaccustomed to it.

    Of course, Buddha City is not without its merits. There are also many attractive highlights here, such as the New Buddha City, which is still under construction. Compared with the old city, this port city is much more open and lively. In addition, there is a very  An attractive place. Li Min had heard its name before coming here, and now he finally came here.
