"Journey to the West" says that when Xuanzang arrived in the West and wanted to ask for the scriptures, Ananda made things difficult for him at every turn and asked for bribes. In the end, Xuanzang had to take out his purple and gold alms bowl in exchange for the scriptures.
Unfortunately, the scriptures Ananda gave were all wordless "Wordless Sutras".
When Wukong angrily exposed Ananda to the Buddha for asking for bribes, Tathagata told Wukong the story of paving the floor with gold for the elder of the Solitude Garden and begging him to preach the scriptures.
He also felt that he was actually at a disadvantage during that lecture, so much so that the future careers of his disciples and grandchildren were bought out at once.
Sun Shenxian knew that Cordyceps had little effect on prolonging life, but he did not expose it. He also specially made the stuff into tablets and drinks that were easier for adults to absorb. The method was similar to the way Ananda blackmailed Xuanzang.
As for how future generations will praise or criticize him, Sun Shenxian doesn't care. Reputation is a very indifferent thing to him now.
The old man just wants to realize his useless reputation as soon as possible so that he can save more patients and treat more difficult and complicated diseases.
A person who even wants to buy such vulgar food as gourd head made by large intestines for himself, just hopes that the poor people who make gourd head can use his name to sell two more bowls, so that the women and children at home can have more
Have a full meal.
Sometimes, Yunchu felt that the old god's heart was made of water, and it was made of a puddle of water as big as the ocean. Only with such a puddle of water can it wash away the ugliness in the world without making itself dirty.
Master Xuanzang is a different person. He is a true wise man. The foolishness of the world cannot cover his eyes. He can always tell Yun Chu from the smallest details how unreliable this world is.
Perhaps this has a lot to do with the fact that he saw with his own eyes what the world that Yun Chu came to was like. In short, this old monk has a very high vision.
The scriptures translated in recent years do not require "faithfulness and elegance" like the translations when we first returned. Instead, we find a starting point from those scriptures and then re-evaluate them with our own understanding. The quality of these scriptures
If it does not decrease, it will increase, and it has become a set of scriptures that the people of the Tang Dynasty can really understand.
The most obvious feature is that the Buddhist views in Tianzhu, Niboluo and other places in the scriptures are leaning towards the Confucianism and Taoism of the Tang Dynasty. Many obscure places are basically explained by Confucianism and Taoism.
In fact, it was not only Xuanzang who did this, but also many eminent monks in later generations. It was because of their efforts to improve Tianzhu Buddhism from generation to generation that this sect took root in the land of China and was ultimately inseparable from Chinese culture.
.
Thinking of this, Yun Chu felt somewhat proud. As far as he could see, he was surrounded by believers and experts. They were a group of people who were truly worthy of the Tang Dynasty, which was unparalleled in the world and where all nations came to court.
Just after returning to Jinchangfang, Yun Chu saw Li Xian standing under the giant phoenix, and He Lan Minzhi, who was dark-faced but majestic.
Yun Chu secretly calculated the time in his mind. Queen Wende's birthday had already passed, and Li Hong had personally arranged it a few days ago. So, why was Li Xian standing under the giant phoenix now?
Although he really didn't want to see this prince, he had no choice but to leave the courtesy here, so he could only jump down from the carriage.
With a hoarse voice, he cupped his hands towards Li Xian and said, "Wei Chen Yunchu has met His Highness Prince Lu."
Li Xian said with some dissatisfaction: "The lonely king is now the king of Pei."
Yun Chu said: "Having not received any official decree from the imperial court on canonization, it would be safer for His Highness to call himself King Lu."
Seeing Li Xian's expression change, He Lan Minzhi hurriedly said: "The Lord is too strict."
Yun Chu glanced at He Lan Minzhi and said indifferently: "The rules and regulations of the imperial court are for people to abide by and should not be taken lightly."
Li Xian looked at Yun Chu, who was wearing a black veil, and took a step forward: "Even if the lonely king is not the king of Pei, I am still the shepherd of Yongzhou and the governor of Youzhou."
Yunchu sighed and said: "Yongzhou Mu is just an honorary title. Nowadays, there are three royal families with the honorary title of Yongzhou Mu, and His Highness is just one of them."
Seeing that Li Xian was about to argue again, He Lanmin stood between Yunchu and Li Xian and said with a smile: "The prince is so kind to His Royal Highness, how come he is no longer so good-natured to His Highness Prince Lu?"
Yun Chu said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the king. Even if His Highness King Lu becomes His Highness King Pei, he is still a minister. Naturally, facing a king should be different from facing a minister. Your Highness King Lu, the sky is already dark.
For your own safety, you should return to Prince Lu's Mansion early, otherwise, the curfew will be imposed and it will be very inconvenient for His Highness."
He Lanmin said: "Someone heard that the curfew in Chang'an is in name only."
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "That's because I don't care about it. Now that I want to take charge of it, the curfew will still be a curfew, no different from the curfew in the past."
Li Xian said angrily: "Arrogant!"
Yun Chu's face was still hidden under the black veil, his eyes staring at Li Xiandao: "Your Highness should return to Prince Lu's Mansion as soon as possible to avoid violating the ban."
Li Xian said angrily: "I have long heard that you, Yunchu, were in Chang'an with one hand covering the sky and committing lawlessness. Today, the lonely king does not believe it. What can you do to me?"
Yun Chu looked at He Lanmin gloomily and said: "Your Highness will naturally not be at fault. The only ones who are at fault are the flattering ministers around His Highness. Your Highness will wait a moment while the ministers will eradicate the flattering ministers for Your Highness..."
Seeing that Yun Chu became furious and took a horizontal knife from Fei Jiu's hand, even a fierce man like He Lan Minzhi had no choice but to retreat slowly in the face of the furious Yun Chu.
Li Xian was even more unbearable. He had been firmly guarded by guards for a long time.
Yunchu knew that Li Xian came to see him today just to disgust him. Although he didn't know what the consequences of disgusting him would be, he still didn't intend to bear it. With someone like He Lan Minzhi in front of him, forbearing would only attract Bu Bu.
Press.
Yunchu dragged the knife with one hand, and the blade of the knife fell on the stone road and kept emitting sparks. Seeing that Helan Minzhi was also protected by the Tibetan warriors, Yunchu took off the black gauze on his face, letting himself be covered with ointment.
The colorful face and head were exposed under the light of the giant phoenix.
He Lan Minzhi saw Yun Chu's suffering head and screamed inwardly. In an instant, he understood why Yun Chu was so tough tonight.
It was just that they could frame a group of them for beating him. At that time, even if they were in front of His Majesty, Li Xian might be fine, and they would really become the traitors who were killed by Yun Chu, just as Yun Chu said.
"Retreat." He Lan Minzhi shouted, and before the Tibetan warriors could react, Yun Chu's ferocious face had already come closer.
He Lan Minzhi knew very well what kind of person Yunchu was. He was the top general of the Tang Dynasty who could fight against thousands of armies in three battles.
When Yunchu first came into contact with the Tibetan warriors, he turned around and ran away, or jumped on a horse and ran away.
When Yunchu rushed into the group of Tubo warriors like a whirlwind under Li Xian's horrified eyes, more than thirty strong men in black appeared on the roadside, holding long spears and stabbing the Tubo warriors fiercely.
.
The bravery of the six Tubo people only lasted three breaths in front of Yun Chu, and they died on the spot.
Looking at the tattered corpses on the ground, Shi Wei Qingyun, the head of Prince Lu's palace, walked out and said to Yun Chu, who was wiping the blood of a horizontal knife on the corpse: "Your Majesty, Duke Zhou has run away, and there is a certain family of flattering ministers like this around His Highness Prince Lu.
, you might as well ask your Majesty to get rid of them together."
Yun Chu ignored Wei Qingyun, looked at Li Xiian who was barely standing in the crowd, and said, "We are not the same people, why did His Highness Prince Lu provoke me so unceremoniously?"
Li Xian's face was pale, and he pointed at the black-clothed warrior behind Yun Chu and said: "You have secretly accumulated dead soldiers, and the lonely king will report it to your father."
Listening to Li Xian's scream, Wei Qingyun frowned and said to Yun Chu: "Your Majesty will decide this matter."
Yun Chu looked at Wei Qingyun and said sincerely: "Assist His Highness King Lu well. Even if you cannot make suggestions for His Highness, you must at least ensure that His Highness King Lu is not disturbed by disasters. Only in this way can you be called a good minister.
He Lanmin's heart is like a snake and scorpion, and he does things in the ghost realm. If he stays with such ominous people for a long time, he will be implicated.
This person also has two thousand elite soldiers hidden in Xiaobolu, and he is waiting to get approval from His Highness King Lu, and then plots against us in the Western Region of the Tang Dynasty.
I hope His Highness King Lu will know this, and I will say this. If His Highness King Lu wants to distinguish clearly from his ministers in front of His Majesty, please first see clearly that He Lanmin is the most important person. The reason why the Helan clan became extinct is because of this.
People are very connected.”
After saying this, Yunchu had been observing the changes in Li Xian's expression, thinking that this guy would have a suspicious look.
Unexpectedly, he jumped up and pointed at Yun Chu and shouted: "What does the demise of the Helan clan have to do with this king? Yun Chu, this king will definitely not let you go."
Hearing what he said, Yun Chu completely lost the idea of confronting him. The scene had become obvious. Li Xian still didn't know that his biological mother was Wu Shun, let alone that he and He Lan Minzhi were born to the same mother.
He is truly a poor, ignorant creature.
Wei Qingyun naturally knew the bad guys in black clothes. Seeing these people packing up the bodies on the ground and taking them away, and finally splashing water on the road, Wei Qingyun looked at Li Xianda in embarrassment: "Your Highness, it's late at night.
Now, let’s go back to the house and make further plans.”
Li Xian still wanted to persist, but unfortunately looking at the murderous Yun Chu at the scene, he still got into a carriage surrounded by his guards and walked toward the imperial city. Tonight, he would most likely not dare to live there.
Prince Lu's Mansion, which has weak protection.
King Lu left, He Lanmin ran away without knowing where to go, the bad guys cleaned up the ground and left, and Fei Jiu also drove his carriage home.
Yunchu stood alone under the brightly lit giant phoenix with his hands behind his back, and said towards the darkness on the left: "Keep an eye on He Lan Minzhi, be careful, this is a lunatic, and he cannot be judged by common sense."
Yin Erhu's voice came from the darkness.
"As ordered, Xue Changfeng has something important that he wants to personally report to the Lord."
Yun Chu snorted and said: "He has been hiding from me for four years, and for this reason he did not hesitate to mix among the savages and turn himself into a savage.
Since he worked so hard to hide from me in the past and turned himself into a human and a ghost, wait until he becomes a human and come to see me again."
Yin Erhu cupped his fists in the darkness and said, "Wei!"
