"Senior brothers and sisters, please rest assured, if there is any need for your help in the future, I will definitely not be polite." Uchiha Xuan smiled.

It is said that, but when it is not a last resort, Uchiha Xuan still will not come to his senior brothers for help.

Because he knew that this time Xuanzang traveled to the west to prove the Tao, it must be a very dangerous thing, not as casual as in Journey to the West. It is very dangerous, and it may be that a little carelessness will lead to the failure of previous efforts, and it is more likely that people of Uchiha Xuan and his faction will die.

After the several brothers and sisters said something, they all went back, and Patriarch Bodhi did not allow them to stay outside for too long.

At noon the next day, Li Shimin announced in front of the ministers that Xuanzang would go to the west to worship Buddha and seek scriptures.

For this matter, all the ministers of the Tang Dynasty agreed, which is also a good thing. If they can really get the Buddhist scriptures, it will be a big happy event for them in the Tang Dynasty.

Uchiha Xuan also found Xuanzang. Xuanzang is still here in Chang'an City. After all, he still needs the canonization and official appointment of the imperial court.

"Brother Xuan, this time I went to the west to worship Buddha and ask for scriptures, why don't you just fly over, or find someone to send the Mahayana Buddhism over?" He often looked at Uchiha Xuan and asked, and he was still a little doubtful about this matter. .

Uchiha Xuan: "If Xuanzang really had it so easy, it would have been done long ago. Just like Guanyin Bodhisattva and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, they are also very deep in the study of Mahayana Buddhism, but they can't understand Mahayana Buddhism. Spreading it out is not only a suppression by the high-level Buddhists, but also a limitation of luck or heaven. Mahayana Buddhism is not something that you can achieve with just a few scriptures. The core of Mahayana Buddhism is to save all sentient beings. These things are easy to say. It is very difficult to do it. Therefore, this time you go to the Western Heaven to worship Buddha and ask for scriptures. This is not only the key to going to the Western Heaven to seek Mahayana Buddhism, but also a kind of practice, a way of proving the Way, and a way of incorporating the Mahayana Buddhism into the orthodoxy. things of fortune."

Xuanzang listened to Uchiha Xuan's words on the side, thought for a while and nodded, understanding a lot in his heart.

Don't look at Xuanzang's previous participation, this matter is to go out for a wander, but in his heart he also wants to spread the Mahayana Buddhism to the Tang Dynasty, so that the Mahayana Buddhism can be spread throughout the three realms, and to purify all sentient beings in the three realms.

Xuanzang had this idea since he was a child. He didn't know why he had such an idea, and the masters had not taught him, so he naturally thought of it.

"Xuanzang, this time on the road to the West, it is very, very dangerous. You have to be prepared. At the same time, I want to remind you that I will not help you casually on the road to the West. There are many things. You need to solve it yourself, can you understand?" Uchiha Xuan said again.

"Brother Xuan, don't worry, since I have chosen to go to the west to worship Buddha and seek scriptures, then I must be fearless. Lingshan!" Xuanzang's eyes were full of determination.

Chapter [-] Branches to the east are the return

After Uchiha Xuan chatted with Xuanzang for a few days, he also left.

Although he said he had left, he was still near Chang'an City. He didn't want to affect Xuanzang more, so let Xuanzang do it himself.

He had already done almost what he had to do, and left the rest to Xuanzang.

After being buried in Chang'an City and receiving the canonization, he returned to Jinshan Temple.

At this time, all the monks in Jinshan Temple already knew that Xuanzang was going to the west.

The monks at Jinshan Temple were very shocked by this matter. They couldn't understand why Xuanzang went to the illusory place in the Western Heaven.

The road to Xitian is very dangerous. Let’s not talk about other places, let’s say that it is in the Tang Dynasty. Although the Tang Dynasty is already very stable, there are still many dangers, let alone those outside the Tang Dynasty. In this country, some places are deserted, and some places are crowded with monsters. In such a place, it is really dangerous.

Therefore, they do not understand Xuanzang very well.

Xuanzang was already the host of Jinshan Temple, and he was admired by all monks in Jinshan Temple, and everyone loved him very much.

And now Xuanzang is the guest of Tang King Li Shimin, and he is also a famous monk in the Tang Dynasty. As long as he continues to develop, he will definitely become the first monk of the Tang Dynasty in the future, and he will definitely be remembered in the annals of history and famous throughout the ages.

However, Xuanzang did not do this and chose a different path. Just like when he was still Jin Chanzi, he gave up his position in Lingshan and made a tenth-generation ambition to go and experience suffering in the world. , to open up a new path for Buddhism.

He was like this hundreds of years ago, and he will be like this hundreds of years later.

He Jin Chanzi has never cared about his fame and fortune. Those are all floating clouds. What he wants is the Buddha in his heart, and what he wants is the real Buddha Dharma. That's why he thought about opening a path for Buddhism and giving the Three Realms A peaceful world.

When Elder Faming learned about Xuanzang's decision, he was also a little surprised, but he was not worried like others, but was happy and proud of his choice.

He was his own apprentice. From the time he accepted Xuanzang, he knew that his apprentice was definitely not ordinary, he would never have an ordinary life, he would definitely do something spectacular, and he would definitely fight for Buddhism. lifelong.

He had expected before that Xuanzang would wander around one day sooner or later, but he did not expect that day would come so quickly, and the wandering place was still so far away.

Elder Faming sat cross-legged in his bedroom, quietly recalling the scene when he met Xuanzang. At that time, he picked up Xuanzang in the river.

So Xuanzang also became Jiang Liuer.

Later, when Xuanzang grew up and learned about his parents, he helped his father to clear up his grievances. Later, his mother also committed suicide and followed his father.

Xuanzang has always stayed in Jinshan Temple. Xuanzang has been different since he was a child. Everyone is respectful to Buddhism and has no doubts. However, Xuanzang always has a lot of doubts. bother.

But Elder Faming didn’t think so. He thought it was a very good thing for Xuanzang to do this, because this Dharma was also done by the predecessors. With the development of time, everything is constantly being updated, and many things also need to follow change with the times.

At the same time, no one is perfect. Although the Dharma of the past was good, it was also limited by certain times and influenced by personal thoughts. Not all of them are genuine, so when in doubt, you should ask and think more. This is very helpful for the advancement of your Dharma.

"Master, my disciple is going to the west to learn scriptures. I don't know if I can come back. Even if I can, I don't know when I will return. Master, disciple..." Looking at the white-tempered master, Xuan Zang realized that his master was much older, and he was no longer the young and strong master he used to be.

My master has entered the age of old age. I don't know how long I will go to West Heaven this time, and I don't know if my master is still there when I come back again.

Thinking of these things, Xuanzang's eyes filled with tears, and his mood was very low. He was raised by his master since he was a child.

"Xuanzang, as a disciple of Buddhism, for the sake of Buddhism, you are very happy to be willing to go to Western Heaven to be your teacher. Buddhism emphasizes that all four are empty. You came back." Faming said to Xuanzang with a smile, he could see what Xuanzang was thinking.

Xuanzang nodded: "Master, please rest assured, this time the disciple will do what I want to do when he goes to the West."

"Okay, along the way, you have to be careful. No matter what kind of things you encounter, don't forget your original intentions. You must not change gradually." Elder Faming reminded.

The most important thing in this path of practice is to guard your heart. If you can’t even guard your own heart, your practice will become more and more biased, and in the end, you will go crazy or fall into the abyss.

Xuanzang nodded again and took note of this.

After chatting with his master all night, Xuanzang also left the next day.

All the monks from Jinshan Temple came to the door to see Xuanzang.

Everyone was reluctant to part with Xuanzang. Xuanzang was a very good person. They didn't want Xuanzang to take risks like this.

"My brothers and sisters, as well as my apprentices and nephews, this time I went to Xitianwei, I, the Tang Dynasty, so that all of us in Buddhism can rest assured for the time being. My Xuanzang will definitely bring different changes to our Buddhism. ." Xuanzang said to everyone with a smile.

"Junior Brother Xuanzang, your journey to Xitian is so long this time, do you know when you will return?" a monk asked.
