Chapter five hundred and forty-three, Xuanzang travels west
KAKAKA~ Cheng Yaojin moved his fists and said with a bad temper: "Do you sell a cassock and a tin staff? Grab and torture it first."
The other generals were also eyeing each other with solemn eyes, and they didn't know what level of monk this monk was.
"Okay, let's go back!" Li Shimin's voice came from above.
Cheng Yaojin paused, turned his head to look at Li Shimin, and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, this monk is so ugly, he looks like he is not a good person."
The scabies monk twitched his mouth twice, and it was not a good thing to be ugly. Which family do you think is the reason? If I had known that the human race was so shallow, I would have become a more handsome one.
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Although the old monk is ugly, he has a good face and should not be a bad person. You guys retreat!"
Li Jing's expression moved, walked towards the side, returned to his original position, looking at his nose, his nose, and his heart without saying a word.
The other generals also returned to their original positions, but they all looked at the old monk with vigilance.
The scabies monk bent down and bowed, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
King Li Shimin of Tang asked with interest: "What is the uniqueness of your cassock and tin staff? You actually sell it for such a high price?"
The scabies monk stood up, looked around everyone, and said proudly: "This cassock is covered with a wisp of dragon to avoid the disaster of the great roc and silkworms; a crane hangs a thread to achieve the wonder of being extraordinary and becoming a saint. But there are thousands of gods who pay tribute to each other; there are seven Buddhas who follow in every move.
...
The poem says: The three treasures are majestic and can be respected, and the four births and six paths are fully commented. The mind is clear and the laws of nourishing humans and heaven, the ability to pass on wisdom lamps, protect the body and solemnly the world of gold, and the body and mind are pure and the jade pot of ice. Since the Buddha made the robes, who can dare to break the monk in all kalpas?
My tin staff is made of nine-rings inlaid with iron, and the nine-section immortal vines will always stay in my face. I am tired of seeing the green bones and thinness down the mountain, and I will lightly bring white clouds back. Mohe's fifth ancestor travels to the sky, and Luo Bu Xunniang breaks through the earth. He is not stained with the red dust and is happy to accompany the monk to the jade mountain."
Li Shimin joined hands and exclaimed: "What a sacred treasure, I have bought this cassock and tin staff.
Now I have opened up good teachings and planted a lot of blessings. I have seen many monks gathered in the Huasheng Temple to perform scriptures and Dharmas. There is a great virtuous practitioner named Xuanzang.
I will buy these two treasures of you and give him benefits. How much is your asking price?"
The old monk couldn't help but smile and said, "If you don't follow the Dharma, you don't respect the Three Jewels, you will force yourself to buy a cassock and a tin staff, even if you don't sell it, you won't sell it if you don't follow the Dharma.
If you respect the Three Jewels, rejoice in seeing good deeds, take refuge in my Buddha, and can bear it, I would rather give it to him and make a good relationship with me. Since Master Xuanhuan is a great monk, this robes and tin staff will be given to him."
Xuanzang waved his hand and said, "I can't use it, I will never use it. I will never dare to accept such a precious treasure."
The old monk handed over the cassock and tin staff, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said you are a high monk, so you might as well wear it. If you can really wear it, the little monk will not take a penny."
"This..." Xuanzang subconsciously saw the main position of the Tang King.
On the dragon bed, Li Shimin also said, "Master Xuancheng, please put it on and show me."
Xuanzang couldn't help but take the trouser staff and untied his own robe.
Among the civil and military officials standing next to him, Cheng Yaojin muttered in a low voice: "Big Lao Hei, why do I feel that His Majesty and this old monk are singing together?"
Yuchi Gong glared at me and whispered: "Old fat man, don't call me Big Hei."
Actually, I also think that Your Majesty is in harmony with him. Does Your Majesty know this ugly monk? Or does Your Majesty want to believe in Buddhism?"
Qin Qiong beside him whispered: "Don't talk nonsense. Your Majesty is a descendant of Li Er, the Taoist ancestor of Taiqing Taoism in the Spring and Autumn Period. How could he believe in Buddhism?"
"Cough cough~" Li Jing in front of him coughed twice, and the three of them immediately shut up.
Xuanzang put on a cassock, held a tin staff in his hand, and stood in front of the steps, shining brightly.
King Li Shimin of Tang nodded happily, such a great monk, who is as handsome as a Buddhist son, with a handsome face and elegant appearance. The Buddha's clothes are as bright as a piece of cloth, and the world is full of bright colors. The colours are condensed into the universe. The bright pearls are lined up and down, layers of golden threads are penetrated in front and back, and the four sides of the pocket are brocade along the edges, and all kinds of strange embroidery are laid out.
Li Shimin laughed and said, "Okay, okay, okay! The master is indeed a great monk. I bought this cassock and tin staff. How do I calculate the money?"
The old monk smiled and said, "I have already said that I can wear this robes and not spend money."
"If you take it seriously, don't you take it?"
The old monk nodded and said, "You can't take any money seriously!"
"I will give this cassock and tin staff to Master Xuan Xuanzang."
Xuanzang bent down and bowed, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, the monk."
The old monk also stroked his beard and laughed, saying, "Master Xuanzang, I saw you at the Dharma Assembly before, only talking about Hinayana teachings. I wonder if you can talk about Mahayana?"
Xuanzang asked in confusion: "Great monk, what is Mahayana Buddhism?"
Xuanzang has been practicing Buddhism since he was a child. He asked himself that he had thoroughly understood all Buddhist scriptures and Zen, and he had never heard of any Mahayana Buddhism.
The old monk said with a solemn expression: "Your Hinayana teachings cannot be promoted to the deceased, but can only be mixed with the mundane and bright.
I have the Three Collections of Mahayana Buddhism, which can transcend the dead and ascend to heaven, can overcome difficult people and escape suffering, can cultivate the infinite life body, and can do without coming or going."
Xuanzang hurriedly held the tin staff, bent down and bowed, and asked respectfully: "Great monk, don't know where this Mahayana Buddhism is? Please give me some advice."
"Mahayana Buddhism is enfeoffed in the Great Leiyin Temple in the Great Western Heaven Tianzhu Kingdom. It can resolve the knots of grievances and eliminate non-deceptive disasters."
Li Shimin asked: "Who is willing to go to the West to seek Mahayana Buddhism?"
Xuanzang knelt down and bowed to the master's seat, saying respectfully: "The little monk is willing to go to the West to seek Mahayana Buddhism and ensure that the country of the Tang Dynasty will last forever."
Li Shimin said with relief: "Okay! OK!"
He stood up and strode down the steps, reached out to help Tang Sanzang up, and said movedly: "Master Xuanzang, I am willing to go to the Tang Dynasty to seek the true scriptures for me, the Tang Dynasty. I am very moved. Today I am willing to become a brother of the opposite sex with the master."
Xuanzang was also moved and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The old monk said seriously: "The Great Leiyin Temple in the West is 108,000 miles away, and the journey is long, and there are many demons. Master Xuanzang, are you ready?"
Li Shimin waved his sleeves and said decisively: "No need to say much. Since the master has already agreed, he will never regret it."
The demon and wealth wolf cannot stop the master's footsteps, and Master Xuanzang will never return without taking the scriptures."
Xuanzang opened his mouth. Although I thought so, why did Your Majesty feel a little awkward when he said it? He nodded and responded: "It's true that I won't return until the West is said."
The old monk said with relief: "It's so good!"
All the civil and military officials standing beside him looked at Xuanhua with strange expressions. They couldn't see it yet, and they were also a virtuous official of civil and military officials.
