Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 557
But when I went there, I was alone, but when I came back, there was a group of people beating gongs and drums to see them off.There were quite a few people behind Xuanzang, all of whom were sent by Li Shimin as guards.

In addition, there is a car with more than 600 scriptures that Xuanzang brought back from Tianzhu.

From a distance Xuanzang saw the door of Xiaoqingzhuang was opened wide, and there was a woman standing at the door, with a graceful and luxurious demeanor, and a sense of independence from the world.

The only person in the entire Tang Dynasty who can have such a unique temperament!

That is the princess of the Tang Dynasty, the head of Chongyang County at that time.

Years have passed, and the little girl who has been there has grown up.When she left by herself, she was still a little girl, counting with her fingers, 17 years have passed.

The little girl back then has grown up, and the greenness on her face has faded away, but her temperament has not changed.

Xuanzang's calm heart rippled slightly, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

The 17-year agreement will be reached today.

How many 17 years are there in life?Even if you are a monk, you will inevitably be delighted to meet again.

Furthermore, learning Buddhism and cultivating the mind is not learning the ruthless method.This kind of joyful meeting is also a kind of practice.

Master Xuanzang's understanding of Buddhism has reached a level that ordinary people can't imagine.

Taoism follows nature, idealism!

Sorrow and joy are like the wind, let me caress my face, I just watch quietly, live in the moment, this is enlightenment.

"Amitabha!"

In a blink of an eye, Xuanzang came up to him, clasped his hands together, "It's been seventeen years since the past, and the benefactor has not forgotten the promise of the past, and the poor monk can't help but be overjoyed."

"Amitabha!"

Yang Xiaoran also clasped his hands together and saluted, "The master came back from his studies and debated tongues in Qunvcheng for [-] days. He finally passed the grand ceremony and became famous in the world. My little girl couldn't help but feel happy when she heard it. He also took the Mahayana classics and returned, which brought me back to the Central Plains." The common people can listen to the Buddha's discourse and hear the holy way to be liberated, Heaven, Amitabha, the merits and virtues are immeasurable, and praise them with joy!"

Xuanzang sighed again and again, "Amitabha, I dare not publicize my small merits, but I still need to be diligent, good, good!"

Yang Xiaoran laughed, "Master, why bother to be modest? Come, come, follow me into the village. The emperor couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard about you, and he personally came to Xiaoqingzhuang to welcome you and prepare a vegetarian feast. Master's blessing, the entire capital has abstained from meat for one day, congratulations to Master!"

"Amitabha!"

Xuanzang seemed a little surprised, but it was only for a moment, and then he regained his composure.Yang Xiaoran looked at it and couldn't help but secretly marvel, this is a generation of eminent monks.

Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself. Now that you are enlightened and practice, you have reached the supreme state, and the way is natural.

"It is also a poor monk's long-cherished wish to see the Son of Heaven."

"Oh?"

Yang Xiaoran seemed a little surprised, "Master wants to see the Son of Heaven?"

Xuanzang laughed, and a dazzling brilliance bloomed on Qinghuang's face, as if he had descended from an exile.

It is undeniable that Tang Seng is indeed a handsome monk.Now that the Dharma has advanced to a higher level, I feel that my personality is extraordinary.

It's no wonder that in later generations of Journey to the West, those female monsters always wanted to seduce the old man.

I saw a sympathetic light in the eyes of Master Xuanzang, who was dressed in simple monk clothes, "The king is in charge of hundreds of millions of subjects. If he can preach the Mahayana classics, he will be able to overcome the suffering of more people in the world and will not get lost. Therefore, the poor monk wants to see the emperor. .”

"good!"

Yang Xiaoran nodded, and suddenly said: "Master, Taoism pays attention to the harmony of yin and yang, and believes that only an absolute balance is the best. So my little girl has doubts. Although this Buddhism is good, it is a good thing to prevail in the world. It's just that the monks in the temple don't care about giving birth, and they don't care about it. Occupying a vast land, what if the matter of Emperor Wu of Liang happened again?"

Xuanzang was startled for a while, he didn't expect Yang Xiaoran to suddenly ask such a sharp question.But then he laughed, "Amitabha, the almsgiver sees the fire clearly, has a high foresight, thinks about it, he can see what happened later, and admires it."

After a pause, he said again: "There is no birth or death, let nature take its course."

Yang Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, did Tang Seng also think of the consequences?
Tang Wuzong's extermination of Buddhism had a great influence on later Buddhism.But Yang Xiaoran once heard a historian say this in a video.He once asked an eminent monk what he thought of this matter.

The master was silent for a while, but the answer was unexpected.

The answer is: It is good to destroy.

It is similar to Master Xuanzang's answer.

There is no birth and no death, death is birth, birth is death, if Wuzong did not destroy Buddha, I am afraid that Buddhism will also disappear in China.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaoran saluted and said, "Thank you, master, my daughter understands."

Xuanzang smiled, and said: "The benefactor has a rich source of blessings, and if he is talented, why does he need a poor monk to order? I think I already have the answer in my heart."

Yang Xiaoran blushed, and said: "The monks don't lie in front of me, it's the little girl who is reckless, I hope the master will forgive me."

Xuanzang laughed loudly, "It's normal for a benefactor to have such worries, so what's wrong with him?"

Yang Xiaoran smiled, and then said: "Master, I have committed crimes all these years."

"Oh?"

While talking, the two had already reached the gate of the Xinggong Palace and stopped. Xuanzang asked, "Is it because of the Goguryeo incident?"

Yang Xiaoran was a little surprised, "Does Master also know about this?"

"The story of a benefactor who does not give way to men, single-handedly saving her husband and relieving the suffering of the people has spread overseas, and everyone calls you a great Bodhisattva."

"what?"

Yang Xiaoran exclaimed, lowered his eyes and said: "But I created a lot of killings. After thinking about it, I felt a little scary. At that time, it seemed that the devil possessed me, and the blood in my body was burning, as if I wanted to kill everyone. .”

After speaking, he smiled wryly, "Others don't believe in ghosts and gods, but I do. I'm afraid that I will go to Avici Hell in the future, or suffer the retribution of killing and killing karma forever."

Xuanzang was silent.

After a while, he said: "Killing one person to save a thousand people, if there is no benefactor to deal with it, how many thousands of my soldiers in the Tang Dynasty will die? The other party's death will be more than tens of thousands? Not to mention the tragedy of many people starving to death in the winter without food ..."

Yang Xiaoran was stunned, a monk said this, okay?

Seeing her stunned, Xuanzang couldn't help laughing, clasped his hands together, and said firmly, "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? Amitabha..."

Yang Xiaoran's body shook violently, this sentence was no stranger to him.It is often seen in later literary works.But when these words came from such an eminent monk, the shock to her was enormous.

After a long while, I shook my head, "Master's cultivation is almost complete. I'm afraid it will be difficult for an ordinary person like me to reach the realm of the master. I'm too concerned about gaining and losing money..."

After a pause, he said again: "Master, let me go in first, the emperor is waiting to see you."

"Okay! But it depends on the arrangement of the benefactor."

Xuanzang followed Yang Xiaoran in, this time, even after going through many storms, Master Tang Seng, who had already become as calm as water, couldn't help being startled.

how……

so many people?

This place is full, right?
In order to admire Xuanzang's demeanor, almost all the civil and military officials of some status followed.Coupled with some waiters, Li Yuan was completely stuffed in the main hall of the Xiaoxing Palace in Xiaoqingzhuang.

A room full!

They all came to see Master!
Yang Xiaoran said in a low voice: "Master, Master? This is the Son of Heaven, it's time to salute..."

"oh oh……"

Xuanzang came back to his senses, lifted his monk's robe, and wanted to make a big gift, but he heard the slightly hoarse voice of the emperor, "The master has made great achievements in preaching the scriptures, and he is an outsider, so let's avoid these worldly gifts."

After a pause, he said again: "Give me a seat."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Tang Seng is worthy of being a master. He is a super talented man who has traveled hundreds of thousands of miles, crossed the Flame Mountain, Liusha River and other difficulties.

When Li Shimin said this, he took it as a no-brainer, and he bowed down and he was done.Then, under the gaze of a group of civil and military ministers, he sat down generously.

By doing this, not only did he not attract complaints from others, but he won a lot of admiration.

"Oh, this bearing... really deserves to be a generation of eminent monks and great virtues!"

"I am so lucky to be able to witness the master's demeanor with my own eyes..."

"Aiya! Be calm and calm, like entering the land of no one, you can be strong without desires. Only then can you have this concentration! Oh, my old Cheng admires such a person the most! Monk Wuna, I will also give Lao Cheng a lecture. Lao Cheng is willing to listen to your dharma .”

Yang Xiaoran covered his face...

Dad, are you always looking for a sense of presence?
and also……

If you don't know how to be polite, don't learn it.This mixture of civil and martial arts sounds so weird...

"Old man Cheng, how can you be so rude to the master?"

"Hmph! You're killing talents to learn Buddhism, and you're tarnishing Buddhism!"

All of a sudden, Yang Xiaoran and Father Cheng were worried.

What's the matter? !
Both father and daughter seem to be complained about when they speak.If you try to pretend, you will be slapped in the face.We are all human, why are we so different? !
depressed!

Xuanzang said with a smile: "There is no one who cannot cross the Buddhist gate. If this benefactor Cheng is willing to listen to the poor monk's teaching, the poor monk will be very happy."

"Did you hear that, did you hear that?!"

Father Cheng, who was lying on the ground after being complained about just now, immediately revived with full blood, pointed to a group of people and said, "What is Buddha's mercy? What is eminent monk's virtue? This is, this is! Good, good! There is nothing wrong with Buddhism." People who cross! Hmph! You are a bunch of mediocre people, this old man is called back to basics! It’s not like your belly twists and turns, it’s so dishonest! Maybe you want to take advantage of the master so that he can read scriptures for you , bless you to get promoted and get rich. Hmph, if you want what you want, you must be dishonest. Treat the Buddha as your servant!"

A group of people were furious.Damn Cheng Yaojin!If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb!It is unreasonable to humiliate them like this as soon as you open your mouth!
Seeing everyone making a fuss, Father Cheng glared at him and said, "Why? Dissatisfied?! Hmph, did the old man say something wrong? You usually have something to ask for when you burn incense and worship Buddha, fake, fake, all fake! Really! With the Buddha in mind, he should give up his official robes and become a monk!"

It was embarrassing once the words came out.Everyone's eyes widened, and they suddenly realized that Cheng Yaojin's words were so reasonable that they were speechless!

Isn't it?Praying for gods and worshiping Buddha on weekdays is not just asking for this and that.Where is this belief in Buddhism?This is clearly treating the Buddha as a small job?
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but blush, and were speechless.

Li Shimin watched calmly, and did not stop them from making trouble.Instead, he looked at Xuanzang and said with a smile: "Master, it worked. There are always a few of my servants who don't know how to be gentle... Don't be afraid, Master, this is Lu Guogong, born with one intestine, what's the matter?" What are you talking about, don’t worry if it’s dirty to hear clearly..."
