Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 163 Meeting Xuanzang

When it comes to Princess Gaoyang and Bianji's affair being revealed, it all started when a thief was caught in Dali Temple.

Dali Temple caught the thief and found that among his stolen goods was the jade pillow of the royal princess. Naturally, Dali Temple did not dare to neglect, and set this theft case as the highest standard.

Under this interrogation, the thieves revealed that the jade pillow was stolen from a meditation room in Daxingshan Temple.

Now Dali Temple is a bit embarrassed!

You must know that Daxingshan Temple was a royal temple in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and its status was higher than that of ordinary temples. They couldn't just send people to pass the monks in the temple to Dali Temple for interrogation just based on a few words from the thieves.

After some consideration, Dali Temple sent people to bring the thieves into the temple to search on the pretext of identifying the stolen goods and ensuring that no other items were stolen from the temple.

Only then did Princess Gao Yang be found out, and her affair with Bian Ji was made public.

This is also arguing that life is not good, and cheating is fine, but you still want to receive the token from Princess Gaoyang.

You say you take it, just take it!It's not good to accept anything, but I want to accept the princess's jade pillow. This is not courting death.

If Dali Temple hadn't caught the thief this time, perhaps the fate of Bianji and Princess Gaoyang would have been different.

Unfortunately!There are no assumptions in life, what should be exposed, no matter how you cover it up, will still be exposed.

Princess Gaoyang is one of Li Er's beloved daughters. She was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, and her pets are arrogant and indulgent. That's why she looked down on Fang's cuckold and went to have an affair with a monk.

Let's not talk about Bian Ji's appearance, but his talent should be good!Otherwise, Xuanzang and Princess Gaoyang would not have taken a fancy to her.

……

Xuanzang and his party finally returned to Chang'an after going through untold hardships and trekking through mountains and rivers.

"Amitabha!" Looking at the majestic capital in front of him, Xuanzang clasped his hands together and proclaimed the Buddha's name.

"Amitabha!" The disciples behind Xuanzang put their hands together and proclaimed the Buddha's name.

"Chang'an, I'm finally back! It's been so many years! I, Xuanzang, have finally come back!" Xuanzang looked at the Chang'an city in the distance, very excited.

"Master! Let's not delay! Hurry up and enter the city! Aren't you still going to meet His Majesty?" Xuanzang's disciple Jiashang urged.

He has long been fascinated by Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and has long wanted to see Chang'an up close.

Xuanzang walked towards Chang'an City step by step, and his disciples led camels and horses behind him.

The camels and horses carried the scriptures that Xuanzang had obtained from various countries in India this time.

Fang Xuanling and the others were not far from Chang'an City early in the morning, waiting eagerly for the team returning from westward journey to learn Buddhist scriptures.

But after waiting left and right, there was no sign of half a monk, so it was inevitable that someone would be impatient.

"Why hasn't Master Xuanzang appeared yet? It's not because we remember the wrong date!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? The official documents sent by the government along the way, plus the speed of their travel, the estimated time should also arrive in Chang'an today, absolutely correct!"

"How do you know that you can't make a mistake? What if you make a mistake? Don't let us just wait like this."

"Okay!" Seeing that the people below were getting more and more outrageous, Fang Xuanling scolded, "What are you talking nonsense here? You are not afraid of being laughed at if people see you."

After being scolded by Fang Xuanling, the people below did not dare to complain anymore.

Seeing the sun rising higher and higher in the sky, Fang Xuanling also began to murmur in his heart, could it be that Master Xuanzang really couldn't come back today.

"Fang Xiang, look at the group of monks there, could it be Master Xuanzang and the others." One person pointed to a group of monks gradually appearing in the distance and said to Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling looked in the direction the man pointed, and saw a group of monks leading camels and horses walking towards them.

Camels and horses carry a lot of stuff on their backs.

Needless to ask, Fang Xuanling also guessed that this group of people was the group of Master Xuanzang he was waiting for.

After all, only Master Xuanzang and his party who came back from the west to seek the Dharma would use camels to carry their belongings, and the monks in the Central Plains would not do this.

"Quick! Follow me to meet the master!" Fang Xuanling said, the first to meet Xuanzang, and the rest immediately followed Fang Xuanling.

"Master, look, someone is coming towards us!" Pu Guang said to Xuanzang, pointing to Fang Xuanling and others who were coming towards them.

Xuanzang didn't say anything, and continued walking, while his disciples stopped and watched to see who was coming.

"Master Xuanzang, you are back! Fang Xuanling has been waiting here for a long time!" Fang Xuanling smiled and said in front of Xuanzang.

"Amitabha Buddha!" ​​Xuanzang proclaimed the Buddha's name and said, "The benefactor is waiting for the poor monk here. You are all from the public family. I don't know why you are waiting for the poor monk, master and disciple here?"

Xuanzang never thought that people like Fang Xuanling came to welcome them.

Li Tang didn't support Buddhism very much, who made people claim to be descendants of Taoist ancestors.

"Under the order of the Crown Prince of the Jian Kingdom! We are here to welcome Master Xuanzang back to Chang'an." Fang Xuanling said.

"Thank you, benefactor! Isn't Your Majesty in the capital?" Xuanzang said, he also knew that the emperor was not in the capital when the crown prince supervised the country.

He originally planned to meet Li Er, hoping to get Li Er's support and permission so that he could promote Buddhism.

Now he finally returned to Chang'an, but was told that the top leader of the empire was not in Chang'an.

This makes him how to ask Li Er for support.

"Your Majesty is currently attacking the guilty minister Goguryeo in Liaodong, and now the crown prince is in charge of the state affairs in the Tang Dynasty." Fang Xuanling explained.

"Oh! That's it!" Xuanzang said, although Li Er was not there, which made him somewhat disappointed, but fortunately there was still a Prince Jian Guo.

The emperor was not around, so he still wanted to meet the crown prince. Anyway, the crown prince was also the heir apparent, and even the future emperor.

Everyone has sent someone to pick him up. According to the etiquette, he should also pay a visit, otherwise it will be bad to settle accounts with him after the crown prince ascends the throne and becomes emperor.

"Master, I heard that you brought a lot of treasures back this time."

"I don't know if I can take a glimpse first!" Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

The group of people behind Fang Xuanling stretched their necks, staring at the camel and the objects on the horse's back, wishing they could see through.

It seems that the treasures inside can be seen clearly.

"There are no secular treasures, only 150 relics of the Buddha's body, seven Buddha statues, 520 Sanskrit scriptures, and 650 Mahayana codes." Xuanzang said.

After hearing Xuanzang's words, the people behind Fang Xuanling were somewhat disappointed, thinking that the monk went to the Western Regions and brought back some rare treasures from the Western Regions.

It turned out to be nothing but joy.

"Oh!" Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "This is not a place to talk, and it's not too late to ask the mage to come back to Chang'an with me."

"Thank you!" Xuanzang said.

Fang Xuanling and Xuanzang walked side by side, and the group returned to Chang'an.
