Chapter VII Entrustment

The walker couldn't bear to see Xuanzang gradually lose his vitality, so he turned his head to look outside the palace.

At this moment, his eyes flashed with gold.

"He's coming."

The walker finally knew where the mysterious feeling in his heart came from.

Yes, he was indeed waiting for a guest.

He, like Master Xuanzang, was waiting for this guest.

It's been a long time coming.

The walker even doubted that if he hadn't wanted to see this guest in his heart, Master Xuanzang would have been able to hold on until now.

The essence in the mage's body has long since run out of oil, and it is purely supported by an obsession.

In the reckless mountains, black dragons leap out of the horizon like flames.

All the scenery became blurred in front of the dragon, turning into a fierce afterimage and flying backwards.

Su Dawei straddled the back of the dragon, and suddenly had a wonderful feeling.

As soon as he raised his head, his gaze passed through the space of dozens of miles, colliding with a certain existence in the Yuhua Palace at the end of his sight.

Su Dawei jerked the reins of the dragon.

Ryoma beneath him stood up suddenly, his hooves staggering in the air, and let out a deafening roar.

The sound is like thunder, passing from afar.

Su Dawei slapped the dragon, and the man and the horse turned into a black lightning, stepping on the withered yellow fallen leaves along the ridge, and flew up.

It's early winter, but fortunately there is no snow in the mountains.

The trail is fairly easy to walk.

A moment later, Su Dawei had already come to the front of Yuhua Palace.

There was already a novice guarding the door and saluting Su Dawei: "May I ask if it is Su Dawei, Su Shishi?" ”

"Exactly."

Su Dawei turned over and jumped down.

Shami said, "The mage and the senior brother are waiting in the hall, please come with me." ”

Su Dawei patted the back of Longzi's horse and said in its ear: "I'll go to see the old man, and you will wait for me nearby." ”

Long Zi was psychic, shook the mane on his neck, nodded at Su Dawei, and hissed lightly.

He turned around and went to himself.

Su Dawei followed Shami into Yuhua Palace.

The palace is magnificent, but Su Dawei has no intention of appreciating it.

I felt a hint of heaviness in my heart.

Is Master Xuanzang's body really not successful?

Although he knew that many things were predestined, a teacher he was familiar with, a famous generation of monks in history, watched him go away step by step.

In my heart, I was amazed and regretful.

In Chang'an, countless days and nights came to Master Xuanzang to sit in front of him, listened to his lectures, got his guidance, and understood many truths.

It also made him enter the realm for thousands of miles in the cultivation of aliens.

It was Master Xuanzang who made him understand that the path of cultivation is not only the tempering of the body, but also the cultivation of the soul.

If you want to "enlighten", you must keep your heart and your mind.

The thoughts in my heart are chaotic, and all kinds of memories and miscellaneous thoughts come one after another.

For a while, the stable state of mind was a little shaken.

Su Dawei immediately noticed it, took a deep breath, and suppressed these distracting thoughts.

Walking with the novice, he has passed through the front hall unconsciously.

Soon came to a large hall in the middle.

But I saw that the courtyard was clean and tidy.

Many silent monks sat on the ground.

There are many wooden shelves in the courtyard, and countless scriptures are piled up on them.

The monks either studied or proofread.

is helping Xuanzang to do the translation of the scriptures together.

Translating the scriptures is a huge undertaking that requires the help of a large Sangha community.

Seeing that the novice was coming with a stranger, none of the monks in the courtyard looked up, and they were all busy with their work.

Su Dawei saw at a glance that next to the temple gate, there was a familiar figure.

He quickened his pace, crossed the novice, and came to the walker: "Senior brother walker, mage him?" ”

"Inside, the mage is waiting for you."

The walker's throat squirmed slightly, and he leaned sideways.

Su Dawei hurriedly glanced at the walker, only to feel that the walker's expression was a little weird.

It's different from the past.

But what exactly is different, I can't say for a while.

When I stepped into the hall, I first felt that the light in front of me was slightly dim.

There is a faint smell of sandalwood in the nose.

Then I saw Master Xuanzang leaning against the wall and sitting cross-legged on the futon.

When Su Dawei saw Xuanzang, it happened that the other party's also opened his eyes and looked at him.

"Mage, I'm back."

Su Dawei's heart shook slightly, walked up quickly, and knelt in front of Xuanzang on one knee.

"You're back, very good."

On Xuanzang's face, there is no joy and no generation.

The voice is slightly hoarse.

took the initiative to reach out and hold Su Dawei's hand: "It's cold on the ground, you get up." ”

Su Dawei was shocked again.

Xuanzang's hands are skinny, and they are simply skinny and bone-wrapped.

And this shriveled and old hand is cold to the touch, as if there is no trace of blood.

"Senior Brother Walker, why are the mage's hands so cold? The mage is still sitting cross-legged on the ground, this ......"

"Don't worry."

Xuanzang used a slight force in his hand, wanting to pull Su Dawei up.

But he struggled to even sit, and his strength was not even as strong as that of a child.

Su Dawei didn't dare to resist it, and hurriedly stood up.

"Mage, it's cold on the ground, can I help you change to a warm place?"

"Don't have to ......" 400

At this moment, the walker couldn't help but speak: "The mage hasn't entered the water for several days. ”

"Mage, how does this work? You can't do it without eating. ”

Su Dawei said urgently.

As an alien four-grade, the amount of food he eats now is only a lot of money.

Even if he is young and strong, if he does not eat for a few days, he will be extremely weak.

Not to mention Xuanzang's age and body.

Not to mention the pain, how can you still live if you are so hungry for a few days.

"Poor monks are not hungry."

Xuanzang shook his head resolutely and said, "Ami, you're here, it's good, just sit with me for a while." ”

The sense of uneasiness in Su Dawei's heart became stronger and stronger.

He glanced back at the walker a little anxiously, but saw that the walker had mist in his eyes and shook his head slightly.

I can't persuade you.

I could only sigh in my heart and look back at Xuanzang.

I heard that the great monks and great monks will have feelings and visions when they come to the end of their lives.

Master Xuanzang was afraid of drinking the order, and he already knew the day of his nirvana.

"Ami, don't think about it, the Vajra Sutra Shizun said that all the harmony is like a starry lantern, a dream of dew and a cloud, and it should be viewed as such."

What Master Xuanzang said was his translation of the "Diamond Sutra".

There are several translations of the Diamond Sutra, and the Kumarosh version is the most catchy, all because Kumarosh is not only fluent in Chinese, but also has a very high attainment in music, and the translation is based on the meaning first, the rhythm is easy to catch, and the song is easy to remember.

Master Xuanzang insisted on a literal translation.

It is completely in accordance with the original intention of the Tianzhu Buddhist scriptures, and does not change its sound meaning, in order to show the original appearance of the Buddhist scriptures.

Su Dawei groaned slightly, dragged a futon, and sat down cross-legged in front of Master Xuanzang.

He bowed his head and said, "I would like to listen to the teachings of the master." ”

"Since the fifth year of Xianqing, when I came to Yuhua Palace, I began to translate the "Great Prajna Sutra".

This sutra has a total of 200,000 verses, the volume is huge, the disciples please abridged and simplified, and the poor monks insist on not deleting a word.

By this year, Long Shuo had finally completed the translation of this 600-volume tome. ”

Xuanzang gasped slightly and said: "After translating this, the poor monk has felt exhausted, although there are still Nuogan scriptures that have not been translated, but there are still disciples who continue to inherit the translation of the scriptures, and the poor monk has no regrets in this matter." ”

"Mage ......"

"Although I have practiced the Dharma, my body has withered, and I have recently felt that the day of Nirvana is near, and for the promotion of the Dharma, the poor monk is worthy of the Buddha, and there is only one thing ......."

"Mage, please."

Su Dawei was surprised in his heart, and he didn't know what else could make Xuanzang forget besides translating the scriptures.

"In the autumn of the third year of Zhenguan, there was a monk Xiaoda from Qinzhou who learned the Nirvana Sutra in Chang'an, and returned to his hometown after completing his studies.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty was at war with the Turks, and the border was blocked, but I was eager to seek Buddhism in my heart, and I still secretly went out of the customs.

Try to travel at night, to Guazhou, and then through Yumen, cross Wufeng, cross the quicksand, prepare for hardships, arrive at Yiwu, and reach Gaochang country.

There, I was courteously treated by the king of Gaochang, Ko Wentai.

He wanted me to stay, promised that the whole country would listen to my teachings, and said that if I didn't obey, he would send me back to Datang.

But I replied at that time, "The heart of the westward journey can only be strengthened day by day, and it will not stop in the middle of the journey."

And with a hunger strike.

In the end, Ko Wentai was moved, not only did he not feel embarrassed, but also helped me to go west with the strength of the whole country.

The poor monk still remembers that Ko Wentai gave me four novices to serve as a servant.

Thirty uniforms.

And the soil on the west side was cold, and I made a garment, and a handcoat, and boots, and a hundred taels of gold, and thirty thousand pieces of silver, and five hundred horses of silk and silk, to be used for my twenty years of travel.

And he gave thirty horses, and twenty-five men. ”

More than 30 years have passed, but Xuanzang still speaks of these things clearly, as if it was yesterday.

Su Dawei couldn't help but be moved.

Gaochang National Elementary School, these gold and silver things, according to Gaochang National Strength, I am afraid they are also the savings of Duoli.

Then Lu Wentai was willing to take it out, and gave it all to Master Xuanzang.

"In addition, Ko Wentai wrote letters of state to the kings of the twenty-four countries along the westward route, and each book was accompanied by a large silk horse as a letter."

Su Dawei calculated silently in his heart.

The big silk is more valuable than the ordinary aya, and the twenty-four horses must have at least ten thousand silver coins.

"In order to seek the help of the Western Turkic Yehu Khan, Ko Wentai offered five hundred horses of silk and two carts of fruit."

When Su Dawei heard this, he was speechless for a while.

This Liwentai really has the style of the world.

gave away all the country's savings for decades at once, and thought so carefully for Master Xuanzang.

What can people say except to be moved?

"Master, I heard that Gao Chang ......"

"Yes, the poor monk returned from his studies in Tianzhu, and according to the agreement with Lu Wentai, he wanted to stay in Gaochang to teach him the Fa for three years, but when the poor monk returned the same way, he didn't know until he knew ...... Gao Chang is no longer there. ”

Su Dawei knew that Gao Changguo, in the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty.

When Master Xuanzang returned to the Tang Dynasty from Tianzhu, he could have taken the sea route, and there were two countries that worshiped Buddhism that were willing to help.

If you go by sea, you will not have to travel a lot.

However, Master Xuanzang remembered the agreement with Gaochang King Lu Wentai more than ten years ago, and traveled tens of thousands of miles to re-embark on dangerous places, just to go to Gaochang for three years.

But when he arrived, he realized that there was no Gaochang in the world.

The original place is only Gaochang County of Datang.

Later, it became the Tang Anxi Protectorate.

As for the king of Gaochang, no one knows his exact whereabouts.

I only know that he was captured back to Datang and moved to another place.

After several turnovers, the whereabouts are no longer traceable.

Master Xuanzang, who had always been as calm as an ancient well, showed a trace of bitterness on his face.

"In this life, a poor monk will do what he says, and there is only one thing, and it is a pity that he cannot fulfill his promise."

"Master, all causes and conditions meet, impermanence is very special, why should the mage be persistent."

"Attachment and non-attachment, emptiness and non-emptiness, where can it be said so clearly."

Xuanzang put his hands together and said: "My generation learns Buddhism, the so-called one, nothing more than the place where the heart is safe, this thought will arise, if you deliberately treat it as empty, you will fall into the attachment."

Ami, the poor monk has one thing to trust. ”

"Mage, please."

Master Xuanzang is Su Dawei's most admired teacher and the guide of Datang Buddhism.

In Su Dawei's heart, he was willing to do something for Xuanzang.

Looking at Xuanzang, who was old and unable to support himself at this time, he always felt panicked in his heart.
