The old monk smiled and said: "Xuan Zang, come quickly and meet Master Fa Hai, the chief minister of Jinshan Temple."
The young monk next to him immediately came forward, clasped his hands and said, "The poor monk Xuanzang has met Master Fahai."
Fa Hai looked up and down and was immediately shocked.
He had clairvoyance, and at first glance he could see that Xuanzang's appearance was astonishing. The heaven was full, the earth pavilion was round, and his expression was exactly like that of a Buddha in front of him.
Fahai couldn't help but want to worship him.
He quickly said: "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it."
Then he said with some sadness: "Master Dharma, you are so lucky to have a disciple who was born with the Buddha's appearance."
The old monk was also a little happy, but he still sighed and said: "The fate between the poor monk and him is rare. When Xuanzang was young, he went down the river and was saved by the poor monk, so he became a master and disciple.
fate."
Xuanzang said: "Master treats me like my parents again. Xuanzang has nothing to repay in this life. Only by serving him all his life can he repay his great kindness and virtue."
The old monk, Master Faming, shook his head and said: "Xuan Zang is a child with enlightenment. At such a young age, the Dharma is already far ahead of the poor monks. If he continues to stay, it would be a waste, lion."
"If possible, the poor monk hopes that he can go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Since Master Fahai is here this time, why not give him some guidance."
Fahai said: "What advice can the poor monk give him?"
He also smiled bitterly and said: "Xuan Zang is already a master. Since the Dharma is not inferior to the elders, it must be above the poor monks."
As he spoke, he shook his head, feeling helpless and envious.
If he had a natural Buddha image, his strength would be at least a hundred times stronger than what he is now.
The old monk said: "Master Fa Hai is joking. Xuanzang still has a lot to learn. Why don't you discuss Buddhism? If he is a talent that can be made, why not teach him some things other than Buddhism so that he can become a disciple."
Demons and monsters."
Xuanzang's eyes were a little bright and he said: "Master, can I learn magic now?!"
The old monk said: "If the time is right, I can let you learn. It depends on your luck and talent."
Xuanzang was very happy.
His Buddhist teachings are boundless, and he can master all kinds of Buddhist teachings and principles at his fingertips. No one in Chang'an can match him.
Even the great monks in Shaoqing Temple are ashamed of themselves.
but.
This is a world of gods, ghosts, immortals, and Buddhas. There is no magic power, no spells, and no cultivation. Although there are rich Buddhist Dharma and Buddhist principles, it is still not enough.
Xuanzang saw immortals and Buddhas flying in the sky and escaping to the earth, demons and monsters who were decapitated and reborn, and even demons and monsters that ate people and killed people.
I still yearn for those methods that reach the heavens and the earth.
It's just that in order to let him concentrate on Buddhism, the old monk never allowed him to learn magic and magic power. As a result, he seemed to be born with Buddha appearance, but in fact he was just an ordinary mortal.
Even without the strength to restrain the chicken.
Fahai saw it and suddenly understood, saying: "Elder Faming wants Master Xuanzang to cultivate the Buddha's mind, shape the Buddha's bones, condense the Buddha's body, and transform into a Buddha?!"
Fa Ming smiled and nodded frequently.
This was what he had in mind, and when he saw him admit it, Fahai's eyes went straight and he couldn't believe it.
Xuanzang shook his head beside him and said: "Master is just joking. The road to the West is far away. I don't know where it is. There are many monsters and monsters along the way. If you let me go, I'm afraid I'll be dead before I leave the Tang Dynasty."
"Although I'm not afraid of death, I don't want to die so easily."
Fa Ming sighed, he was already doing psychological construction for Xuanzang, but Xuanzang always believed that if he went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, he might never see Faming again, and he would also die on the way.
After all, Xuanzang was not confident.
It's not his fault. If he were a mortal, and he went outside the Tang Dynasty where monsters were everywhere, he would be going to die.
If you don't have enough faith, you simply can't do it.
Xuanzang still lacks faith now.
Faming grasped and remembered that he must let Fahai shape Xuanzang's faith. If possible, he would also ask Fahai to teach Xuanzang some life-saving methods.
I am afraid that only in this way can Xuanzang have more confidence.
Fahai naturally had nothing to say. After all, it was an honor for him to be able to point out a person who was born with the Buddha's appearance.
Next, Fahai and Xuanzang had an in-depth conversation.
Through communication, he discovered that Xuanzang really knew everything about Buddhism. Xuanzang knew almost everything he had read or not read, and he could draw inferences from one instance to another.
In front of Xuanzang, Fa Hai's Buddhism was very shallow, like a primary school student.
But Xuanzang respected Fahai very much, because he was a master of the same generation as his master, with boundless magical power and vast supernatural powers.
It is said that the number of monsters suppressed by Fa Hai is not even a thousand, but as many as eight hundred, and they are really capable of flying into the sky and escaping from the earth.
Xuanzang quickly asked for advice.
but.
Fahai, who had previously said he would teach him, shook his head and refused.
"What you practice is the Buddha's mind, as well as the Buddha's bones and Buddha's body. Before your Buddha's mind has been settled, I cannot easily teach you spells and magic power, otherwise it will affect your Buddha's mind."
Xuanzang said: "How can I be sure that I am determined?"
Fahai said: "When you sincerely want to go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures."
Xuanzang said: "But without strength, I can't get out of the Tang Dynasty. There are monsters outside."
Fahai said: "If you don't go out and the Buddha's heart is not established, I can't teach you."
Xuanzang said: "If you don't finish preaching, how can I really want to go out?"
The two of them went back and forth, refusing to give in to each other, but in the end they discovered that this was a dead end.
Not easy to crack at all.
In the end it had to be put on hold temporarily.
Fahai said: "I heard that there is an immortal in Chang'an. Where is he?!"
He wanted to find the person who shot down the Leifeng Pagoda. In the direction of Chang'an, except for the legendary immortal, there was probably no one who could do it.
Xuanzang said: "In the Yunyuan Mountain, inside the Hualong Temple."
Mentioning Su Chen, Xuanzang looked complicated and said: "The poor monk quite approves of the Heavenly Master, but he is very unfriendly to my Buddhist sect."
Fahai said: "How to be unfriendly?"
Xuanzang said: "Many temples in our Buddhist sect have closed down under his pressure, and many eminent monks in our Buddhist sect have died because of him."
Fahai said: "If this is the case, the poor monk would even want to meet him."
Xuanzang said: "Originally I wanted to argue with the Great Celestial Master, but Master refused. Recently I heard that Master invited an old minister from the court to come forward for us."
Fahai nodded slightly.
Talk about both ends.
Yunyuan Mountain, Hualong Temple.
Because Su Chen had clairvoyance and ears, he spied on the situation of Nantianmen, but he heard some "terrible" information and was shocked.
In order to make himself strong instead of mediocre, he practiced hard and worked hard to interpret the fortune tellers.
It's rare that he uses his clairvoyance anymore, but sometimes he will use it in the court.
In the past, he relied on Yuan Tiangang to send news back, so that he could know the major events in the world, but now he can see and hear directly.
It is more intuitive and allows him to better interpret people's fortunes.
"Calculating the time, there are about three months left before I can go up and down the mountain freely."
Su Chen had a smile on his face and was a little excited.
In three months, he will have passed the filial piety period and will be able to move around freely.
Of course.
With his ability and status, even if he doesn't abide by this agreement, no one will say anything.
However, morality restrains oneself.
Su Chen has set the rules himself and must abide by them.
What's more, here, there can be a steady stream of people asking for signatures, which is much easier than going out to look for it on his own.
However, it is also good to be able to go out freely.
It's the day.
Su Chen sent away the last wave of people asking for autographs, and just as he was stretching, he found someone else coming up from the bottom of the mountain.
Across the forest, he heard climbers commenting on the pilgrims who were descending the mountain.
"Ignorant people are fooled by a few words from others."
"Well, I can tell from one look that you have lost money recently. Haha, it seems that I am right. The guy on the mountain probably wants you to be more open-minded, right?"
"That person, I recognize the red rope on your body. It seems to be a Buddhist thing. Since you believe in Buddhism, why are you here?"
Su Chen on the mountain frowned.
He asked someone to bring him a stool and waited quietly for the man to climb the mountain.
Yun Zhongjun, Huo Wuhong, and Su Ao all live on the mountain, and the other disciples have their own affairs.
When they saw Su Chen's expression, they knew he was waiting for someone, and he probably wasn't very friendly to that person.
Waited for a while.
An old man in Confucian attire slowly climbed up the mountain, looking around and commenting, "This is a geomantic treasure, a good place to visit."
Then when he saw Su Chen and others waiting, he just smiled and nodded.
"I, Xiao Yu, have troubled Master Tian for waiting for a long time."
He knew that Su Chen was waiting for him.
Su Chen said calmly: "I don't miss any pilgrims. When I hear someone climbing the mountain, I will wait until the last moment."
The old man Xiao Yu said: "The spirit is commendable."
Su Chen said: "You are in better spirits. You can still climb mountains even if you are seventy or eighty years old, and you can be a good teacher on the road. Even a poor Taoist would be ashamed of himself."
Xiao Yu suddenly stopped laughing and frowned.
It wasn't that he was angry, but that he had never been taught such a lesson before.
"You know, even the emperor would never dare to teach me such a lesson."
"Then you know that even if the emperor comes here, he must treat me with respect. Moreover, the emperor and the emperor have both knelt down before me."
Xiao Yu suddenly stared, unable to refute for a moment.
Su Chen said: "Old man, if you are here to cause trouble, I advise you to take care of yourself. I will throw you down the mountain and you deserve to die. If you are here to offer incense and donate money, I will welcome you infinitely."
Xiao Yu took out a stack of documents and said: "These are all my house deeds, land deeds, and land deeds. If you can convince me to donate them all, what's the problem?!"
Su Chen was happy.
When he met the money giver, his tired mood felt better.
As for this Xiao Yu, he still knew him. He was an old man who had his head stabbed for the first time in the Tang Dynasty. Even Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling had to take a detour when they saw him.
He is also a hero of Lingyan Pavilion, but he has a bad temper and cannot deal with anyone. He has criticized Li Shimin several times, and he is even more outrageous than Wei Zheng. He is the first generation of iron neck!
It's just that Su Chen doesn't like Xiao Yu!
The plot gradually deepens and becomes more exciting, so stay tuned.
