Chapter 290: Why bother with the tip of the bull's horns

"What, Xiao Jing is interested in Tianzhu?" Fang Yiai asked.

"It's not that I'm interested in Tianzhu, but I'm interested in these countries west of the Tang Dynasty, although the desert in the west has a harsh environment, as long as you have the strength, it's full of gold, not to mention the sixteen countries of the Western Regions, it's Tianzhu where Xuanzang went, a place full of gold and silver, aren't you excited?"

Since you have been in Datang, what about being a robber again? The country is close, but how big is that? To the east, there was an endless ocean, and it was impossible to develop further east, and North and South America could not reach it.

But the Western Regions and the Indian Peninsula are different.

"You don't want to meddle in the Western Regions, do you?" Fang Yiai was surprised.

"It's not me, it's Datang." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.

......

Xuan Shijing's bold words scared the two of them, it's better to stop this topic, what will it be like in the future, who knows? According to His Majesty's temperament, maybe he will really fight it.

At this time, he needed to go back to his room to be quiet, anyway, he didn't have the heart to translate the scriptures at this time.

Xuanzang brought back more than 600 Sanskrit scriptures from Tianzhu, and to translate these more than 600 scriptures, coupled with his own experience of traveling west, this is a big project, although from the end of the year to the beginning of the new year, so long time has passed, and the progress is not much.

The monks in the translation institute have a special record when they go out, not that they can go out at will, the debate machine out of the translation academy, go to Zhuangzi in Dongshan County, naturally there are also people who record their whereabouts, and after the debate machine comes back, the whole person is depressed, and when it comes to fasting in the evening, Xuanzang did not see the debate machine, so he asked the other disciples, why did he not see the debate.

Xuanzang also attaches great importance to this disciple on weekdays, after all, he is still young, he has such a rich knowledge at such a young age, and he has a wise root, and his future in Buddhism is immeasurable.

"Back to the master, the debater has been locked in the room since he went out and came back, and he has never come out, so he sent someone to call him, and he just said that he didn't eat the night's fast." The monk beside Xuanzang responded.

"Okay, let him go, let's eat, his portion, leave it in the kitchen for him, when you're hungry, you can eat it hot." Xuanzang said.

Xuanzang set off from the Tang Dynasty and went to Tianzhu, and suffered a lot along the way, the key is to take a lot of detours, and then come back from Tianzhu, although he is still in the prime of life, but the vicissitudes of his body can not be washed away, the debate machine locked himself in the room, it must have happened to him, he couldn't think about it, and he wanted to calm down and think about it, these Xuanzang could understand.

When the personal experience is rich enough, and then you see others walking on the road you walked at the beginning, it is clear at a glance, Xuanzang is like this now, he has gone through so many things, and now he looks at the debate machine, and the things he encountered, it is no longer a matter.

After eating for a while, I went to see him and enlightened him.

The debate machine is still young, and most of his life is spent in the temple, and he really doesn't hear what is going on outside the window, so he has experienced less, and his heart is very immature compared to the old fritters in the temple outside.

Xuanzang's belief is very deep and deep-rooted, so no matter what happens in the outside world, it can't change his firm heart, and although the debate machine has faith and Buddha in his heart, he has always experienced less and has been protected too well.

He even suspected that he had entered a fake temple and had a fake faith.

At night, when it got dark, Xuanzang was dressed in plain clothes and robes, with Buddhist beads in his hand, and walked to the door of the debate room.

Xuanzang walked to the door and reached out and knocked on the door.

When the debater heard the knock on the door, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who?" ”

"Son, it's me." Xuanzang's voice came into the ears of the debate machine.

As soon as he heard that it was his master standing outside, he hurriedly opened the door, and saw his master's kind face by the faint moonlight outside.

"Master." The debate machine folded his hands and saluted Xuanzang.

"It's late at night, and when the master saw that you hadn't eaten yet, he ordered the kitchen man to warm up the food for you and bring it over. I heard that you went out today, why did you lock yourself up when you came back? Xuanzang asked.

The debate machine invited Xuanzang to the room, walked to the table, lit the oil lamp in the room, and the room was lit up.

"Don't dare to deceive the master, the apprentice went out this time, in fact, he went to the Zhuangzi of Dongshan Hou, the abbot of Hongfu Temple came to look for the apprentice the day before yesterday, and wanted the apprentice to be a lobbyist, the apprentice has been a monk in Hongfu Temple since he was a child, since the abbot came to find the apprentice, the apprentice categorically did not dare to refuse, and today he went out and went to the Zhuangzi." The debater replied honestly.

Xuanzang nodded and motioned for the debate machine to continue.

"The apprentice debated with Xuanhou, and also asked Xuanhou to raise his noble hand for the Buddhist temple in Chang'an City, but the apprentice was incompetent and couldn't argue with Xuanhou." The debate machine said: "In addition, what Xuanhou said to the apprentice was also heart-piercing. ”

As he spoke, the debate machine told Xuanzang what Xuan Shijing said to him, and also conveyed Xuan Shijing's request to see Xuanzang's works.

Xuanzang nodded while listening.

"What Xuanhou said is indeed reasonable and undeniable, but for this reason, you have to drill the horns like this, it is not worth it over there." Xuanzang smiled, and then said: "Xuanhou is right, they are ordinary people, and you and I are monks, and the angles we stand on are already different, so how to look at the problem the same." ”

"However, the Buddhist Temple of Chang'an City ......"

"Monks cultivate their minds, this mind is put in the first place, from the beginning of the monkhood, the scriptures read, are all about avoiding the five poisons, greed, hatred, ignorance, slowness, doubt, now you are in the translation of the scriptures, and put yourself outside the circle of Chang'an City Buddhist temple to see, although Buddhism in Chang'an to carry forward, but the rapid expansion, is the inexhaustible five poisons, do not say that the world, is the monks in the temple, but have completely abandoned the mortal dust, completely eliminated the five poisons? What is the difference between a monk and a worldly person? ”
