Transform into eternity

ps: Today is a chapter, and this week may be a chapter, because I went back to my hometown to help.Luoye's hometown is in the countryside, although it is not a big deal.There are so many people in China, which of the three generations of ancestors did not come from the countryside.

Pingxin bowed his body, "Taoist, walk slowly, Pingxin needs to guard the six reincarnations, so it is inconvenient to send him away."

Xue Xi'e nodded slightly, "Well, it's okay. You should pay attention to the things people told you before. Although we sisters can look down on the slightest movement of the world, we can't pay attention to it all the time. The world At the time of the great change, you will separate the nether world from the prehistoric world, and you must protect the six reincarnations."

"I would like to follow Daozun's order and know what to do with peace of mind."

"Hehe, I don't worry if you do things." Xue Xi patted Ping Xin on the shoulder, "I won't talk nonsense, so you don't think I'm long-winded, see you later."

Light and shadow pass like a white horse, and it will be more than 60 years in a blink of an eye.After more than five hundred years, Xuexi and the others returned to Chang'an City again. After 500 years of ups and downs, Chang'an City remains unchanged. The old shadow from 500 years ago overlaps with the close-up of today, as if depicting an ukiyo-e with disordered light and shadow.However, the city is still the same city, but the people are no longer those people. After all, it is already 500 years later.

The current emperor of the Tang Dynasty is Taizong Li Shimin, whose country name is Zhenguan, and has been on the throne for 13 years.

In the early morning of this day, the prime minister Wei Zheng came out of the class to play, saying, "I would like to inform your majesty that in today's world, the world is peaceful and the eight directions are peaceful. Your majesty should follow the ancient law, open a selection field, recruit wise men, promote talents, and capitalize reason."

The Tang Kingdom has a history of nearly a thousand years, and now is the time when its national power is at its strongest.Just to show kindness and promote national prestige.

Li Shimin was ready to play immediately, and immediately promulgated the imperial list, and every prefecture and county in the Tang Dynasty posted the list.But in Haizhou, there is a scholar named Chen E, whose name is Guangrui.After seeing the imperial list, I was overjoyed.

This Chen Guangrui has a poetic spirit in his belly, but unfortunately he has bad luck and fails in the exams every year.This time, the emperor's grace was so great, Chen Guangrui felt that it was his chance to show off his talent.He went home immediately, packed up his belongings, bid farewell to his mother, and rushed to Chang'an to take the exam alone.

Let's say that Chen Guangrui's timing was indeed a turn of events, and he won the first prize in high school in one fell swoop.The scenery is boundless.While parading through the streets, he was hit by a red hydrangea ball nicknamed Mantangjiao, the daughter of Prime Minister Yin Kaishan, Yin Wenjiao.

This is a marriage bestowed by heaven, and a pair of wonderful people born on earth are now married.There are four great joys in life. When I was named on the gold list, and the wedding night in the bridal chamber, I already got two of them. It really is a double happiness.

"Chen Guangrui, this guy is a three-day blessing." The one not far from the East City Gate is upstairs.Bai Xuan, Xue Xi and Ta Xue looked through the window at Chen Guangrui and his new wife Man Tangjiao who were about to leave the city gate.

"However. He is an important pawn in spreading Buddhism to the East." Xue Xi took a sip of her wine and said with a smile, "It is his blessing that a mere mortal can be tricked by gods and Buddhas all over the sky."

Chen Guangrui and his party left the city gate.First I went back to Haizhou's house, and then went straight to Jiangzhou to take up my post.Unexpectedly, after this trip, he was trapped at the bottom of the river for decades, and his wife and children were separated for several years.

It's almost time to reach the boundary of Hongjiang.Because of the hot weather, Chen Guangrui's old mother had no choice but to stay in Hongjiang. When Chen Guangrui and that mantangjiao were crossing the Hongjiang River, they were thrown into the water by thieves, who took away their identities, and even had their wives and children.

Don't say that Bai Xuan is bored looking at these bad things, even Xue Xi doesn't have much interest.

Xuexi and Baixuan set up a cloth shop in Chang'an and started a small business again.The location of the cloth shop was not bad, with the street in front and the river at the back, Xuexi simply transformed the cloth shop into a tea house.The layout is more elegant, and by the way, the interior has been repainted, and the entire teahouse has a new look in a few days.

The only shortcoming is the plaque and couplets outside the door.The name of the teahouse is Qingxin, Qingxin Teahouse, and the words Qingxin are beautifully written and meaningful, which makes people's eyes shine, as if the heart has really calmed down, and it is known at a glance that it is made by everyone.

But the word "teahouse" in the back is a little bit inconspicuous.Not to mention crooked and crooked, the thickness of the strokes is completely different, just like the work of a naughty boy.Putting these two styles together is awkward no matter how you look at it.

Let’s talk about the door couplet, the upper couplet is “how many people in the world are free, ask who to treat for a cup of tea, and spend half a day”, the second couplet is “a fairy in the cave, there is a pond lotus to call me, to prove the three lives”.

The couplet is pertinent and solid, and it can be regarded as a bit brilliant, but the wording is still a problem.

The characters in the second couplet are bold and majestic, and there is a kind of grandeur in the world, and the aura of who I can give up is contained in it, especially the fairy character, which is extraordinarily spiritual, but the upper couplet is not good, the handwriting is the same as the word teahouse, Obviously from the same hand.This person is of course Taxue. It's not that she can't write well, she just wrote it like this on purpose.The word Qingxin comes from Xuexi, and the second couplet is naturally written by Bai Xuan.

This weird teahouse soon attracted many people.Chang'an City was originally the political and cultural center of the Great Tang Kingdom. There are countless talented scholars and beauties here, and naturally there are more people who like to be arty.On the first day of Xuexi's Qingxin Tea House opened, there was a lot of business.

Although there are many criticisms on the plaque at the door and on the opposite side, the tea here has to be said to be a must.In this way, the teahouse of Xuexi and the others became famous very quickly.A tea house is not a restaurant, no matter how famous it is, the number of people who actually come is actually limited.Xuexi and the others didn't hire a waiter either, they acted as the proprietress, the waiter, the accountant, and the tea maker.

After many years, Man Tangjiao of Jiangzhou gave birth to a baby boy. Fearing that the thief would kill him, he deliberately put the baby boy into a wooden basin and let it flow with the water.The water flow was fast, and the wooden basin was in danger of overturning. Unexpectedly, a white lotus grew out of thin air, lifted the wooden basin and protected the wooden basin.The wooden basin swayed and floated to the foot of Jinshan Temple.The abbot of Jinshan Temple is named Faming, and he is a monk with true cultivation.

On this day, Fa Ming was meditating, when he suddenly felt his spiritual consciousness shake and couldn't control himself.Shocked, he made some calculations hastily, but it turned out that there was a great blessing coming, and it happened that he heard crying at this moment.

Faming immediately realized that the person with great blessings must be the one crying.Fa Ming heard that the crying sound came from the middle of the river, so he immediately led his men to salvage the baby boy.The baby boy stopped crying when he saw a stranger, and just looked at Faming with a smile.Fa Ming saw a blood book on the boy's body, and after reading it, he immediately understood the reason behind it.Fa Ming named the baby boy Jiang Liu.He was adopted in Jinshan Temple for 18 years.

Jiang Liu, who grew up in Jinshan Temple, shaved off his hair and became a monk at that time. He formally joined Jinshan Temple, received the ultimatum, and bestowed the title Xuanzang.One day, Xuanzang talked about Buddhism with other monks.Xuanzang had been fascinated by it since he was a child.He has an amazing understanding of Buddhism.

Those wine and meat monks couldn't argue, and they were angry in their hearts, so they cursed, "You farm animal, you don't know your name, you don't know your parents, what the hell are you doing here?"

When Xuanzang heard this, he found Faming and complained about it.Feeling that the time had come, Faming returned the blood letter he picked up from Xuanzang back then to Xuanzang along with his clothes.Xuanzang just read it.Immediately understood everything.

"You can't take revenge on your parents, how can you be a human being?" Xuanzang cried, "For 18 years, I didn't know my biological parents. I don't know my mother until now. If this body hadn't been rescued and raised by the master, how would it be today? Let the disciples go find it. See my mother, and put an incense pot on my head. Rebuild the temple, and repay the deep kindness of the master!"

Fa Ming agreed. "If you go to look for your mother, you can bring this blood book and sweatshirt with you, just for alms, and go to the private office in Jiangzhou, so that you can meet your mother."

Xuanzang bid farewell to his mentor and put away the blood book and undershirt.All the way to Jiangzhou.When they arrived in Jiangzhou, they acted according to the plan, and as expected, they recognized their mother and told each other their hearts, which was another touching scene.

An 18-year grievance has finally come to an end.Chen Xuanzang will continue to be his own little monk.Chen Guangrui and Man Tangjiao tried to persuade him to no avail, so they had to send Xuanzang to practice in Hongfu Temple near Chang'an.

It has been the 31st year of Zhenguan, and the city of Chang'an is as it used to be.Xuexi, Baixuan, and Taxue still run their own teahouse there, and this teahouse is now considered one of the best in Chang'an City.

These days, it is said that the most famous person in Chang'an City is Yuan Shoucheng, who is the uncle of Yuan Tiangang, Mr. Taizheng, Qin Tianjian.He set up a hexagram booth on Ximen Street to tell fortunes for people.

Xue Xi is quite familiar with this person, and he has some connections.His divination technique was passed down from Zhou Zijing back then.In the past few years, he would go to Qingxin Tea House to drink a cup of tea every day, but he didn't pay for it every time.

In the past, Bu Yigua was used as tea money every time, but these days it was replaced by a golden carp every day.It's just a bowl of tea, and it's not worth a lot of money. Xue Xi didn't care too much, so she just let Yuan Shoucheng mess around.

Today, a white-clothed scholar came to Yuan Shoucheng's hexagram booth.Yuan Shoucheng could tell at a glance that the person who came was the Dragon King in the Jing River outside Chang'an City.

It turned out that the golden carp that Yuan Shoucheng sent to Qingxin Teahouse every day was his reward for fortune-telling to a fisherman by the Jing River.Yuan Shoucheng's fortune-telling is very accurate. Recently, there are fewer and fewer water tribes in the Jinghe River. As the king of the water tribes of the Jinghe River, how can the Dragon King of Jinghe River not be in a hurry.

The Dragon King of Jinghe made a bet with Yuan Shoucheng to block the amount of rainfall tomorrow.

"Clouds will be spread at the hour of tomorrow, thunder will be at that time, it will rain at noon, and the rain will not be enough at that time, and the total water will be three feet three inches and 48 points." After Yuan Shoucheng divination, he confidently stated the result of the hexagram.

Of course, the Dragon King of Jinghe didn't believe it. How could he know that he had just received the imperial decree from the Jade Emperor when he returned to the Water Mansion, and what he said was exactly the same as what Yuan Shoucheng said.

This loss of face is a trivial matter, and the 50 taels of tuition is also a trivial matter. Jinghe Dragon King is a dragon king after all, how could he be defeated by such a small matter.The only thing he worries about is the life and death of the Jinghe Shui Clan.

In order to keep the Jinghe aquarium, the Dragon King of Jinghe listened to the strategist's ghost idea, changed the time privately, and deducted points.As soon as the rain stopped, the Dragon King of Jinghe turned into a gentleman in white and smashed Yuan Shoucheng's hexagram booth.

Unexpectedly, this matter was soon discovered by the Jade Emperor, and the Dragon King of Jinghe was about to be beheaded, and the official who supervised the beheading was Wei Zheng, the current prime minister.The Dragon King of Jinghe had nothing to do, so he had no choice but to come to Tang Emperor Li Shimin for help in Xingye.

Li Shimin also agreed, and left Wei Zheng to stay the next day.The two discussed government affairs and played chess until noon.Li Shimin's chess skills are much worse than Wei Zheng's, and he has already lost in the middle game.When he finished thinking about a move, he saw Wei Zheng fell asleep by the desk, sweating profusely.Li Shimin is also a generation of virtuous monarchs, he felt sorry for his subjects, so he personally fanned Wei Zheng with a mountain fan to cool the wind, and he was shocked to see that Wei Zheng was sweating.

It turned out that Wei Zheng had dreamed of slaying dragons, but his cultivation level was much lower than that of Jinghe Dragon King, and he was almost escaped by Jinghe Dragon King.Fortunately, with the help of Li Shimin's three cool winds, he caught up with the Jinghe Dragon King and beheaded the Jinghe Dragon King with a single sword.

When the Dragon King of Jinghe died, the resentment in his heart could not be dispelled, he turned into a wronged soul, and came to Li Shimin to ask for his life.Li Shimin was so frightened that he couldn't afford to fall ill, and within a short period of time his soul was lost, and his lonely soul wandered around.

Li Shimin's lifespan is not yet over, so naturally he can't enter the underworld, at most he can only go to the City of Death.After all, he had imperial aura to protect him, and this time was calculated by Buddhism, so it was impossible for him to die like this.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, who presided over the eastward transmission of Buddhism, found Li Shimin's soul and helped him return to life.After experiencing such an accident, Li Shimin respected Buddhism very much, and definitely held a water and land meeting to promote Buddhism.

At the Water and Land Conference, Xuanzang stood out and successfully won Li Shimin's favor by virtue of his profound understanding of Buddhism.After the Land and Water Conference, Li Shimin had something on his mind again.Because I heard that there is only Hinayana Buddhism in the East, but Mahayana Buddhism is in Daleiyin Temple in the West, so I want to find someone to learn from the West.

None of the monks at the water and land meeting wanted to put themselves in danger, let alone the mountains and roads, and there were so many monsters and ghosts on the road.Only Chen Xuanzang stepped forward and expressed his willingness to go to the west.

Li Shimin was overjoyed, and immediately set up an incense case, burned incense and prayed, and became brothers with different surnames with Chen Xuanzang.Because Li Shimin was old, Chen Xuanzang became the imperial brother.Li Shimin gave Chen Xuanzang the precious cassock and tin staff he had obtained from Guanyin Bodhisattva before, and also gave Chen Xuanzang a purple gold bowl for alms on weekdays, a customs clearance disk as proof, and two porters accompanied him to the west A royal horse is used as a foot force.

Li Shimin sent him off all the way, and finally stopped when he was sent outside the city gate.Xue Xi, Bai Xuan, and Ta Xue mingled among the nearby crowd, watching this scene.

Li Shimin gave Chen Xuanzang the title of referring to the scriptures, and named him Tang Sanzang.Chen Xuanzang thanked him, and the two bid farewell.

Chen Xuanzang was about to bid farewell to the west, but Li Shimin stopped him.Li Shimin ordered someone to bring a glass of wine and asked Chen Xuanzang to drink it.According to Buddhist precepts, drinking alcohol is not allowed, so of course Chen Xuanzang dared not accept it.Li Shimin told him that it was a glass of vegetarian wine, and that it would be fine after drinking it, so Chen Xuanzang took it.

When he was about to drink, Li Shimin stopped him again.I pinched a little soil from the ground and sprinkled it into the cup, "Yudi, please."

"This?" Chen Xuanzang looked at the muddy drink in confusion.

"Brother Yu, when will we return?" Li Shimin asked, holding on to Chen Xuanzang's hand.

"At least three to five years, as long as ten years, we will return." Chen Xuanzang, who still doesn't know the hardships in the future, is full of confidence and smug, like a glorious martyr who has devoted himself to the revolution.

"As the years go by, the mountains are far away and the road is far away, my younger brother can drink this wine." Li Shimin patted Chen Xuanzang's hand and said meaningfully, "I would rather love a pinch of soil from my hometown than ten thousand taels of gold from another country."

Only then did Chen Xuanzang understand Li Shimin's deep meaning, and immediately drank all the wine, thanking him and leaving the customs.After Chen Xuanzang and the others disappeared in the distance, Li Shimin drove back to the palace.

"Heh, let's go back too." Bai Xuan stretched, "I've been standing here for a long time."

Xuexi and the others immediately turned back to the teahouse, still doing their own small business with peace of mind.Xuexi and the others just wanted to be spectators about the Journey to the West, but they didn't intend to participate much.

On the other hand, Chen Xuanzang's trip was full of difficulties and obstacles, and his wealth and life might be lost at any time.Of course, he who is still in the Tang Dynasty doesn't know what will happen in the future. (To be continued..)
