Liu Juan's current main task is to go to Datang to find Tang Seng, so that he can go to Lingshan. When Tang Seng returns from Chengling Mountain, his merit value can reach 1000 points, so that he can get the life fruit of the tree of life and save Little Splash's life, but I don't know if that god of death will play ghosts, there is no other way now, only this way, and I can only go on.

Liu Juan looked at the sky outside the library. On such a sunny day, Liu Juan's heart was cloudy.

No matter, I look at the information:

"Tang Seng, the common name is Chen Gua, the Dharma name is Xuanzang, commonly known as Master Sanzang, Tang Sanzang, and Tang Seng is his common name. Xuanzang was born in a scholar's family. He was taught by his father when he was young. He studied scriptures and knew a little about Confucianism. He was 13 years old ( Or at the age of 11) became a monk in Luoyang Jingtu Temple. It was the end of the Sui Dynasty when the peasants were fighting, and the Central Plains was the battlefield. He took refuge in Chang’an and went west to Chang’an to learn Buddhism from a teacher. He arrived in Chengdu via Hanchuan. After several years of study, he was not satisfied and left Sichuan again. Go to Jingzhou, go north to Xiangzhou, go to Zhaozhou, and return to Chang'an. At this time, the Tang Dynasty was established at the beginning, and the society was still unstable. Xuanzang traveled from east to west, north and south, and it was quite hard work. He showed the spirit of not being afraid of hardships and dangers. It can also be said that he has laid a good foundation. He studied Buddhism everywhere, and felt that the purpose of Buddhism was either unclear or inconsistent. He wanted to get to the bottom of it, so he wanted to visit the birthplace of Buddhism. A famous teacher, seeking classics, decided to go to India to study in the Western Regions.

In the third year of Zhenguan, he set off from Chang'an, passed through Lanzhou and arrived in Liangzhou. At that time, the Tang Dynasty was not yet powerful, and there was a struggle with the Northwest Turks, and the people were forbidden to leave the customs without permission.Li Daliang, governor of Liangzhou, heard that Xuanzang was going west and forced him to return to Chang'an.The local master Huiwei respected Xuanzang's great wish, and ordered his young disciples Huilin and Daozheng to secretly send Xuanzang forward.They were afraid of being captured by officers and soldiers during the day, so they traveled at night.When he arrived in Guazhou, the horse he was riding fell down and died again.At this time, Li Daliang arrived with Xuanzang's official document. The state official Li Chang believed that Xuanzang's ambition was rare and he should not be detained, so he destroyed the official document and urged Xuanzang to move forward.Xuanzang bought an old and thin red horse that had been to Yiwu (Hami) 15 times, accompanied by his new apprentice Shipantuo, and set out on the road at night.Huilin and Daozheng couldn't bear to travel so far, so they returned to Liangzhou.Such a difficult journey made Xuanzang further determined to go west: if he does not reach India, he will never return east. Even if the guest dies halfway, he will never regret it.In the middle of the night, they smuggled through Yumen Pass successfully.Just after taking a break, I saw Shi Pantuo walking towards him holding a knife. Shi said that going further would be a dead end, and he didn't want to go with him, so Xuanzang had to let him go and go forward alone.

In the great desert, no pedestrians can be seen, and besides the yellow sand, the bones of humans and beasts are the traces of living beings.Walking along, sometimes it seems that there is a large group of people moving in front, but in fact this is an illusion produced in the psychological state of loneliness and terror.Marching to the first sentry post outside Yumen Pass, and waiting to sneak in at night, he was still discovered by the guards and almost shot by an arrow.Captain Wang Xiang sympathized with him, because he did not want to return east, and advised him to go to Dunhuang to practice, but Xuanzang still expressed that he would rather be tortured than stay.Wang Xiang had no choice but to let him pass the checkpoint, and told him to go to the fourth checkpoint, where his clansmen could be let through.Xuanzang set off as he said, passed the fourth whistle, and then moved on for 800 miles to Moheyanqi, which was called Shahe in ancient times. Aquatic plants" place.Xuanzang walked alone, silently reciting the "Prajna Heart Sutra" to encourage himself.After walking for more than 100 miles, I lost my way. When I saw water, I led my horse to drink water. I accidentally dropped my bag into the water. I lost all the things I used on the road, and I didn’t know where to go, so I had to return.As he walked, he thought, he swore earlier that he would not turn back until he arrived in India, what happened today, he actually went back?I thought again, I would rather die walking westward than go back. Thinking of this, I got more energy, so I changed direction and continued westward.

Today it is easy to talk about Xuanzang’s continued westward journey. On the day he was on the road, the yellow sand was flying like rain during the day, but at night he saw the phosphorous fire from the bones of humans and animals, flickering and frightening.The most serious thing is that after walking for 5 days and 4 nights, I have not seen water yet, and my thirst is unbearable.By the fifth night, I had no strength left, so I lay down on the yellow sand.A sudden wind blew up in the middle of the night, which made people sober. He got up immediately and started on the road again.The horse suddenly stopped walking and couldn't pull it. It turned out that it found aquatic plants.After drinking and eating, rested for a day, and then set off again.After walking for two days, I left the quicksand, arrived at Yiwu, and then Gaochang.It can be said that this is Xuanzang's decisive step in learning Buddhist scriptures. After this training, Xuanzang's will to travel westward has become stronger.

King Gaochang warmly entertained Xuanzang, worshiped him, and hoped that he would stay and spread Buddhism.Xuanzang's purpose was to go to India to learn Buddhist scriptures, so he politely declined.King Gaochang repeatedly asked him to stay, but Xuanzang still refused to stay.King Gaochang thought that he could make Xuanzang submit by detaining him.Xuanzang responded by going on a hunger strike, not touching a drop of water for three days.The king was deeply moved by his spirit, so he let him go westward, ordained 4 apprentices, 30 horses, and 25 knights for him, and wrote 24 official documents to the chief executives of various regions that Xuanzang would pass through on his westward journey. Ask for attention.The courteous reception of King Gaochang was something that Xuanzang had never experienced before, and the material conditions of the journey since then were much better than those of the previous journey.Xuanzang stayed for two months when he went to the country of Layer Zhi, because the road was blocked by heavy snow.When they reached Mount Jun in the north of Congling Ridge, the snow that never melted all year round made it difficult for Xuanzang and his party to walk, and at night they lay down on the ice to rest.In this way, it took another 7 days to walk down the mountain.Thirty to forty percent of the companions died, and even more cattle and horses died.When they arrived in the state of Kang, because the residents did not believe in Buddhism, they wanted to burn Xuanzang's two apprentices with fire. Fortunately, the king stopped them, and Xuanzang and others passed safely.Xuanzang stayed for more than a month in the country of Fuhe, studying Buddhist scriptures.After that, regardless of the fatigue of the journey, he stopped to read the scriptures in some places many times, and debated with the local Buddhist masters.Xuanzang sometimes encountered robbers, all his clothes and property were robbed, and his companions wept mournfully. He comforted everyone, saying that the most precious thing in life is life. If life is saved, the lost clothes are nothing. He encouraged the disciples to move on.Once, on the Ganges, the robbers thought that Xuanzang was tall and fit for worshiping the god Tuga, so they tied him to the altar and were about to commit murder.Xuanzang was not afraid, and calmly recited Buddhist scriptures.Unexpectedly, a strong wind suddenly picked up and broke the branches. The thugs thought that God blamed them for their crimes, and hurriedly apologized to Xuanzang, and he escaped a disaster.

After many difficulties passed, Xuanzang traveled all over India, collected and studied various Buddhist classics, and attended the All India Buddhist Debate hosted by King Jieri. Xuanzang was the host of the forum.Because of his profound Buddhist attainments and prestige, no one dared to attack him; some people wanted to assassinate him, but the plot failed.Xuanzang achieved his goal of studying, so he returned home with Buddhist scriptures.While crossing the Xindu River, 50 years of scriptures and books fell into the water when encountering wind and waves. Xuanzang felt very sorry and tried to make up for it.He sent people to Wuchangna to make up copies.When he arrived in Yutian, he sent people to Wutian, Shule and other places to search for scriptures, and waited there for the arrival of the book seekers. "

In the 19th year of Zhenguan (649), after 17 springs and autumns, Xuanzang returned to Chang'an with 357 Sanskrit scriptures.Later, he translated Buddhist scriptures in Hongfu Temple and Ci'en Temple, translating 75 books and 1335 volumes, and wrote "Da Tang Western Regions", becoming an outstanding Buddhist scholar, translator, and traveler in Chinese history.Xuanzang's spirit of going to the Western Regions to learn Buddhist scriptures through untold hardships set a shining example for future generations. He is a model of perseverance. "
