Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

"It's probably Xuanzang!"

He has never dealt with Buddhism, and if the only person involved is Xuanzang.

The Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, and there are many dangers. Even if a large army enters, one must be extremely careful.

What's more, Xuanzang is only one person.

If you don't do your 'homework' before setting off, you're looking for death.

Although the place names described by Liu Bai in "Journey to the West" are all fabricated, he has clearly described the customs, environment and landforms of the Western Regions.

Xuanzang should have come to ask for advice.

"Take him into the hall!"

Judging from his appearance, Xuanzang is still very young, probably less than 30 years old, wearing a gray monk robe.

"Namo Amitabha!"

After he entered the hall, he put his palms together first, uttered the Buddha's name, and then bowed slightly to Liu Bai.

"Poor monk Xuanzang, I have met Mr. Liu!"

Liu Bai has always been curious about this monk.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, no one knew the Western Regions better than him. You must know that the Western Regions are not a certain country, but a general term for more than a dozen countries.

According to the geographical division, even the current Tibet and Qinghai are in the Western Regions.

Different from the Central Plains, there are large areas of no man's land in the Western Regions, and there may be many mysterious beasts unknown to future generations.

What kind of ability does a seemingly ordinary monk have to make a big circle in the Western Regions and finally reach Tianzhu successfully?

Liu Bai nodded with a smile, "Master, you are being polite. I don't know why the master came to the door this time?"

Xuanzang looked indifferent and didn't sit down, he just stood in front of Liu Bai and said: "The poor monk once made a great wish to go to the Landa Temple in Tianzhu to seek Mahayana Buddhism in order to save the world. The Western Regions know a lot about it, so I’m here to ask for advice!”

As he spoke, he put his palms together again, "Namo Amitabha!"

"The so-called life is suffering. Today's people are sinister and the world is going downhill. If no one teaches piously, there will be great chaos. If you give me some advice, it will be an immeasurable merit, and there will be good fortune in the future!"

Chapter 84: Want to be a white wolf with empty gloves?This monk is too ignorant

If Xuanzang said directly that he came to ask for advice, Liu Bai didn't think much of it.

But as soon as he uttered the second sentence, Liu Bai felt unhappy in his heart.

Whether he is willing to tell Xuanzang about the situation in the Western Regions is his right, what does it have to do with merit?

This monk put on his big hat as soon as he came up, and the meaning behind the words, as if Liu Bai didn't tell him, it was a sin.

To put it bluntly, it is a one-shot deal. Everyone knows that since the Taoist sect opened the sacrificial ceremony, the number of believers has begun to increase again, gradually suppressing the Buddhist sect.

Don't you just want to take the opportunity to develop Buddhism?

What kind of garlic?

Originally, Liu Bai was not interested in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, but after seeing Xuanzang, he immediately became somewhat dissatisfied with Buddhism.

Yuan Tiangang came to ask for advice, and he brought the money directly, and he agreed to the farmland matter happily.

As for Xuanzang, the white wolf came empty-handed!

If there are so-called merits and blessings, you should first invite Guanyin Bodhisattva to sit here!

"Liu doesn't believe in destiny, let alone merit. As for the Western Regions, Liu has never been there. Master, please go back!"

Xuanzang was stunned for a while, wondering where Liu Bai got such a temper.

He quickly said: "Perhaps the poor monk didn't make it clear that this trip to the west to obtain the scriptures is to educate the world, and Mahayana Buddhism is a wonderful way to save all living beings."

He said a lot of things in a long way, over and over again, it was to educate the world, guide the world to be good, and so on.

Liu Bai didn't listen to what he said at all, he just felt that this guy and the Tang monk in "A Chinese Journey to the West" were really carved out of the same mold.

Once you start nagging, there is no end to it.

"There are still many things in Liu's family, so I won't accompany you!"

He directly interrupted Xuanzang's words, turned around and was about to walk out.

Xuanzang hurriedly stopped in front of Liu Bai, and he was no longer as indifferent as before.

He was also depressed.

As a well-known eminent monk, even if he went to the residence of princes and nobles, he would be treated with courtesy. Moreover, he had taught Buddhism to the royal family many times. His status was as high as that of an important minister in the court.

Why did Liu Bai not give any face when he arrived at Liu's house?

He never figured out exactly how he offended Liu Bai.

"The poor monk is full of kindness, and his heart is only for the common people. Why does Mr. Liu treat me like this?"

Liu Bai paused, and looked at Xuanzang with a half-smile, "Master, have you heard about the Daoist sacrificial ceremony a few days ago?"

As soon as the sacrificial ceremony was mentioned, Xuanzang's face was immediately filled with sorrow.

At that time, the development of Buddhism was very good. If Taoism hadn't preached the theory of "Eight Immortals" at the sacrificial ceremony, which attracted many believers, he would not have been forced to go to Tianzhu.

"The poor monk has certainly heard of it. According to rumors, it was Mr. Liu who gave Yuan Jianzheng an idea."

"Yes, Yuan Jianzheng used [-] mu of fertile land to ask Liu to write this story."

No matter how old-fashioned Xuanzang was, he could still hear what he meant.

If you want to hear about the situation in the Western Regions, show your sincerity first!

He said dumbfounded: "Seeking the scriptures is an immeasurable merit, how can Mr. Liu do it?"

Liu Bai's face darkened.

This monk is too ignorant.

"see a visitor out!"

He didn't want to say a word to Xuanzang anymore, strode out and entered the backyard in a blink of an eye.

Xuanzang stood there in a daze for a long time, then gave a helpless wry smile, and left Liu's house with his head down.

Back in Chang'an, Xuanzang went directly to Xiao Yu's mansion.

The Xiao family believed in Buddhism for generations, and Xuanzang was Xiao Yu's guest.

Under normal circumstances, Xiao Yu would agree to ask for something.

Xuanzang briefly explained what happened in Liu's house, and finally begged: "This time going west, without Mr. Liu's help, the poor monk may not be able to walk an inch. I also hope that the poor monk will beg for favors from the benefactor Xiao!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu smiled wryly, "If it's someone else, I still have some face, but it's with Liu Bai."

Every day, he would go to Liuyexuan to drink tea and listen to books with Fang Xuanling and others, so naturally he also met Liu Bai a lot.

Based on his understanding of Liu Bai, this is a master who doesn't like oil and salt.

If there is no benefit, Liu Bai doesn't even give Fang Xuanling face, so what if he goes by himself?

Xuanzang clasped his hands together, leaned forward and said, "For the sake of the common people in the world, please benefactor Xiao, please help the poor monk!"

Just because Liu Bai doesn't like him, doesn't mean Xiao Yu doesn't like it.

He pondered for a long time before he said: "For the present plan, the only way to do it is to use the farmland, and ask for Liu Bai's forgiveness!"

Xuanzang said in embarrassment: "The poor monk also knows this truth. It's just a matter of saving the common people. How can we exchange it with land?"

He always believed that it was everyone's responsibility to save the common people, and if he exchanged things for the situation in the Western Regions, it would be tantamount to insulting his "righteous deed".

Moreover, Buddhism is a place of detachment, and it treats money like dung. It is not good to hear this story

Xiao Yu shook his head, and said: "Based on what this old man knows about Liu Bai, if he doesn't exchange things, he won't reveal a single word. Since the master is unwilling, this old man has nothing to do."

Xuanzang sighed helplessly.

"If there is no other way, the poor monk can only take out the temple property of Jinshan Temple"

Xiao Yu can be regarded as an extremely human minister, his face doesn't matter, and it's useless to ask others, even if he doesn't want to exchange farmland, it won't work.

Even if Liu Bai wanted his life, he had to give it.

Going west to learn Buddhist scriptures is the great plan of Buddhism and the only way to revitalize Buddhism.

In comparison, what is personal safety?

"Thank you, Master Xiao, for your guidance, and the poor monk bids farewell!"

"Master wait a minute!"

Xiao Yu hurried to his bedroom, found a stack of title deeds, and handed them to Xuanzang.

"This is [-] mu of fertile land in Huayin County. It is a gift from the old man to the master. If the farmland in the hands of the master is not enough, the old man will find another way!"

Xuanzang couldn't be more moved. A devout Buddhist believer like Xiao Yu is really rare.

"The poor monk will remember the kindness of benefactor Xiao, and thousands of Buddhist disciples in the world will also remember it!"

Liu family mansion!

The wine lasted until dusk, and the shopkeepers hadn't enjoyed themselves yet.

Shen Wansan had already been forced under the table.

At first, these shopkeepers were very polite, but after drinking too much wine, they no longer cared about their identities.

Several elderly shopkeepers dragged Shen Wansan out from under the table and poured him bowl after bowl.

I don't know how much Li Chengqian drank in secret. Now his face smelled of alcohol, he hugged a wine jar, shaking his left and right fists drunkenly.

Liu Bai originally wanted to entertain these shopkeepers again, but after seeing this scene, he immediately hid away.

These people are all drunk lunatics!

It was as if he had never drank wine, but he caught up with the Chinese New Year and drank it desperately, and the empty wine jars after drinking were piled up like a hill.

He doesn't want to be like Shen Wansan

It was a mistake to drink, not to mention, he had to wait for Xuanzang to come to the door again and kill him severely.

[Recommend the new books of the two brothers, "Shenhao: Starting from the failure of the college entrance examination" "Online games: I can copy everything", the authors of the two books are reading, very cool, interested brothers can read it]

Chapter 85: One pit after another, Xuanzang who vomited blood after being pitted

Xuanzang returned to Liu's house in the evening.

When he came, Liu Bai was outside the gate, seeing off the shopkeepers at home.

Today's wine, I drank it to my heart's content, after all, everyone drank at least two or three catties.

The shopkeepers were all drunk, and when they left, they were still carrying the gifts that Liu Wan'er had prepared long ago.

Liu Bai had already seen Xuanzang standing at the corner of the alley, but he still let him hang out for a while.

Xuanzang learned to be smart this time, and waited until Liu Bai finished delivering the last shopkeeper before he stepped forward.

"Amitabha, Mr. Liu, the poor monk has figured it out!"

Xuanzang was also anxious. He not only wanted to learn scriptures on this trip to the west, but he also had the heavy responsibility entrusted to him by Li Er. According to Li Er's request, he should set off early tomorrow morning at the latest, otherwise he wouldn't be here at this time. I rushed back again.

"Master, please!"

Liu Bai didn't make things difficult for Xuanzang anymore.

The means of playing hard to get is enough to use it once, but it will be counterproductive if it is used too much.

As soon as he entered the hall, Xuanzang took out the land deed without saying a word.

"This is a land deed of [-] mu, all in Huayin County, not far from the son's residence, please accept it!"

He was quite kind, and he did not hide the [-] mu given by Xiao Yu against his conscience.

Liu Bai took the Tian deed, and said with a smile: "Actually, Liu also knows the significance of Master's trip to the West. Before that, he just wanted to see how pious Master's heart is!"

Xuanzang watched Liu Bai put the Tian Qi in his arms, the corners of his eyes twitched, he couldn't bear the anger in his heart no matter how good he was in Buddhism.

But who made him capable?

In the entire Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that there is no one who is so familiar with the Western Regions like Liu Bai.
