[Journey to the West] Tucao Emperor who was delayed by Buddhism

The two of us stood still, Xiao Yu was still waiting patiently.

Hui An asked me: "Master, should I take it off or not?"

I said, "You have such an idea, you never listen to me, but you are talking about whether you can take it off?"

Hui An said: "I don't care, Master will take it off and I will take it off, Master, if you are not willing, Master, I can take it off myself."

In fact, things are not so simple. I am the Bodhisattva of the West Heaven. We in the West Heaven don’t pay attention to this. It doesn’t matter if I take it off. On the street, people who turn their heads back to heaven should spread gossip: The second prince of Li Tianwang followed Avalokitesvara and ran naked on the street in Chang'an without learning anything else.

In this way, it is not very friendly to his father's reputation.

When we were tangled, Xiao Yu said to the followers in a very low voice: "Did you see, the master is testing us, and we must hold on at this time."

You, prime minister, are really promising!

I cleared my throat, and said to the prime minister: "I can sell you the brocade clothes and the nine-ring staff, but this monk's clothes have been with me for many years, so I can give them up without bidding? This clothes are like my brothers and sisters. Not even my inexperienced apprentice can kiss him!"

Hui An: "..."

Hui An: "I don't want this dress anymore, I'll give it to you."

Xiao Yu was completely confused by us.

I said: "If you want my monk's robe, you have to find an eminent monk who is worthy of it. This monk's robe is not sold at a sky-high price. Even if you give me this Tang Dynasty, you will not be given a sleeve."

Hui An said, "I don't care. Take it if you want it."

Xiao Yu: "..."

The Great Tang Prime Minister looked at us, suspecting that we were here to provoke trouble.

I said: "I am a rebel who is disobedient, so I will send you off."

Hui An said: "My master doesn't want me anymore, and this monk's robe is useless to me, so you can take it and burn it."

That Xiao Yu watched the two of us quarreling, was dazed for a while, then suddenly understood and said: "I am stupid, I hope the two experts can give me some pointers."

Hui An said: "You don't know pearls, you mistook the treasure for rags, and asked us for the dirty clothes."

I said: "You're confusing black and white, and seeing that baby doesn't know each other, since that's the case, I won't give you a piece of rotten clothes."

Xiao Yu originally believed that the things we were holding were used to confuse him, but after we said this, he hesitated, and it seemed that his theory of superiority and ugliness was no longer applicable.

Xiao Yu said: "The cassock is valuable, but the monk's robe is priceless?"

Hui An suddenly said: "Just because you also want the monk's robe on my master's body, aren't you afraid of shortening your life?"

I said: "If a devout monk of mine wears this cassock, he will not fall into reincarnation, will not be poisoned, and will not be plagued by tigers and wolves, and will not suffer from evil. I would like to give it to him as a good fate; if someone who has no fate wears it , afraid of a catastrophe."

Xiao Yu finally figured it out. Anyway, he couldn’t afford the cassock. He said to me, “Elder, although I don’t know treasures with the naked eye, I know that monk Xuanzang can wear this cassock. I’ll show you how to wear it. Let's go to court and see you."

After talking nonsense for a while, Xiao Yu didn't want my master and apprentice to take off their clothes.

After going around and around, it finally came to Xuanzang.

Alas, you must know that the Tathagata told me that when an expert speaks, he can’t speak directly, he just wants to talk nonsense and let people guess. If he guesses it, he guesses it. If he can’t guess, he won’t give them a hint. This is called information resources. To a limited extent, it is the accumulated experience. Only by speaking in this way can they feel that we are advanced.

So Xiao Yu took Hui An and me to the palace.

I said to Hui An: "When we meet the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, we can try our best to talk in a misty way, and let him be half clouded, otherwise neither of us will want to go back to the South China Sea until this matter is over."

Hui An said: "It stands to reason that you and I will show our real bodies sooner or later, but this Emperor Tang is not a good person. What if we see Master's real face and think about it?"

Me: "...so what do you want to say?"

Hui An: "Oh, why don't you lift up your skirt and show him your—"

If I were on the top of the cloud, I would kick him down to the Nine Heavens.

This apprentice doesn't want to live anymore, you can follow your father back to the Heavenly Court and lead the troops, the Western Paradise can no longer accommodate you.

I just said, ever since my apprentice failed in learning, no matter how much I help him, I can't get it back.But I can't tell that Li Tianwang, your little prince didn't learn anything from me, he just learned to complain about me, and he hasn't opened his mouth once for hundreds of years. Suffocate you or nudge you to death.

Alas, after all, when the little prince was sent here back then, he was still a very normal and good doll. He has been processed by me for a few years, and suddenly he turned into a strange doll. Got it.

The two of us were brought into the palace to meet the Tang king. When Tang Taizong saw that we were so ugly, he was overjoyed immediately, as if he had picked up a treasure. Before Xiao Yu introduced our origins, he He hurriedly asked: "Why did the two masters come here?"

One of us is lame and the other lame. God knows how he sees that we are superior. Most likely, the lame and lame are almost the epitome of superior. If we are crazy again, he will definitely think us It is heaven and man descending from the earth.

Xiao Yu said: "These two masters are wearing brocade cassocks and nine-ring tin rods. I saw that they are rare treasures in the world. Thinking that Master Xuanzang needs them, I brought them to see Your Majesty."

Oh, you feel like a baby now?Didn't you just want to buy worn-out clothes?

Tang Taizong was obviously very happy and asked me, "How much is the cassock and the tin staff worth?"

I said that if the cassock is not destined, it will be a disaster to sell it to him for 5000 taels, but if it is destined, it will not cost money.

Tang Taizong was happy at first, but when he saw that I spoke normally and behaved normally, he was a little displeased, and asked the waiter next to him, "Why isn't this expert crazy?"

... Whoever told you that the tall people are crazy!

Hui An naturally heard it clearly, and suddenly shouted: "Tang Emperor, this cassock can protect people from reincarnation, why don't you respect Buddhism, do you want to go to the city of death again?"

Emperor Tang was shocked, he obviously didn't expect us to know that he didn't mean anything and was called to the underworld. Seeing how much we knew, he immediately felt that we were very tall people, much taller than ordinary people. , Immediately said that he would buy the tin rod and cassock.

Adhering to the Buddha's principle of "in the cloud, in the fog, the mystery is the mystery, I said to the Emperor Tang: "If you give money, we will not sell it. "

Xiao Yu immediately said: "I don't want money, my Tang Dynasty is rich in products, and some of them are peerless treasures."

……

You can shut up, Prime Minister Xiao.

Emperor Tang said: "You said you asked for five thousand, but now you hear that the emperor wants to buy it, but he doesn't charge for it. Could it be that I am relying on myself as the emperor to snatch yours?"

I don't want to talk to him anymore.What the Tathagata said is not right. If you are cryptic to people, you have to consider their intelligence level.

Hui An said: "If this treasure is worn by Master Xuanzang, we will not take a cent. If it is worn by others, we will not lose a penny."

Only then did Emperor Tang rejoice and said, "Okay, it's Xuanzang who is here to wear it! Except for him, there is no one in Tang Dynasty who is more suitable for this treasure!"

He was obviously very happy, and asked someone to take the cassock, and called Xuanzang to come and put on the robe.Xuanzang was very dazed and was called into the palace by the emperor to try on new clothes.

The emperor said, Brother Yu, put on this cassock and show me, if it looks good, we will take it.

The young monk grew up in a temple and had never seen the emperor before. He was a little scared when he went to the palace, but the emperor asked him to wear the cassock, so he immediately put on the cassock.

Xiao Yu said: "The light fills the universe, and the pearl shines brightly. It is really a treasure, and it is perfect for Master Xuanzang."

Tang Huang said: "It really gives me the face of the Tang Dynasty, and let the mage wear cassocks and hold a tin staff to go to Chang'an City!"

People in Chang'an City said: "It's really a living Bodhisattva, even more beautiful than Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva!"

The guard said: "My Tang Dynasty is hopeful! The mage is more powerful than the Ksitigarbha! The way to learn the scriptures must be smooth!"

In the midst of everyone's praise, Hui An suddenly said: "Why are you like a country bumpkin who entered the city? Master, are you sure we didn't find the wrong person for Jin Chanzi?"

... You kid is talking nonsense in front of the emperor.

Seeing that I ignored him, Hui An said again: "Master, let's go, I'm a little scared."

I asked, "What are you afraid of? Isn't this great?"

Hui An pointed to Xuanzang, who had delicate features and a face as white as a meat bun: "I'm afraid he will suddenly come to you and say: I have seen this younger sister before."

When he said that, I got goosebumps all over my body. I always felt that something was wrong, but I just couldn't remember what was wrong.

However, as soon as he finished speaking with a crow's mouth, Xuanzang caught a glimpse of us two from the crowd, and without knowing what to think, he suddenly rushed towards us in reverse.

I was a little nervous, so nervous that I forgot all the words, and asked Hui An, "What should we do?"

Hui An said: "Reveal your real body and let them go to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures."

Seeing that Xuanzang was about to squeeze in front of us, Hui An and I immediately showed our real bodies. Two shining Bodhisattvas suddenly appeared, which shocked the people around us.

I was supposed to read the lines, but when Xuanzang saw me, he suddenly smiled and said, "This sister, I am—"

Hui An pulled up my sleeves and led me to the top of the cloud, and turned around in despair and shouted: "The three volumes of scriptures are in Daleiyin Temple, Tianzhu Kingdom, Daxi, where my Buddha Tathagata is, don't forget!"

The people below obviously had never seen God, and they all knelt down. I wondered if they could hear what we said clearly.

In the crowd, there was only the little monk with his face up, wearing the cassock I gave him, holding the tin staff I gave him, watching us go away under the clouds, and followed the half of what he had just said in a daze. , muttered softly:

"I have seen it in my previous life."
