Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Guo Ye took a cursory glance at the three of them, and thought to himself, these three have their own characteristics.

When he was about to ask who these three people belonged to Xuanzang, he only heard Xuanzang pointing to the stack of manuscripts held by the first person, and said: "This is my report to the countries of the Western Regions on the way back and forth from the Western Paradise to learn Buddhist scriptures." A record of customs, you mentioned it to me before, I think it should be of great use to you, so I will give it to you."

Immediately afterwards, he pointed to the sheepskin on the plate of the second person, and said: "This is the topographical map of the poor monk's journey from the Tang Dynasty all the way west to Tianzhu Buddhist Kingdom. Although I can't describe the Western Regions in detail The topography is different, but there are about [-] to [-]% of it. As for the two wooden barrels in his burden, they are the wine that the poor monk brought you from the Western Regions for alms. I think it should be a rare thing in the Central Plains, so I specially brought it Bring it back to you."

Guo Ye was speechless when he heard the words. He could understand the manuscripts and sheepskin maps that recorded customs and customs, and he was very useful.

But he didn't expect Xuanzang to travel thousands of miles to bring him two barrels of grape trellises from the Western Regions. This, isn't this too real?

Well, he can only treat it as a courtesy rather than affection!

After receiving the gift, he thanked Xuanzang generously, then suddenly remembered the question just now, pointed to the three people in front of him and asked, "Who are they? Could it be that they also followed you all the way to the west to learn scriptures?" "

Xuanzang nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, these three people met on the road when the poor monk set out to leave the Tang Dynasty alone. They are all lonely, but they all have a heart for the Buddha. I followed all the way to the west to learn scriptures, and thanks to them, the poor monk will not be lonely on the journey of seeking scriptures for thousands of miles, and he has avoided many dangers."

Guo Ye sounded a little familiar, why is this like Journey to the West?Another version of the story of Tang Monk and his disciples learning Buddhist scriptures from the West?

So he came and asked with interest: "Then these three are your apprentices?"

Tang Xuanzang shook his head and said with a smile: "No, no, although these three people all have the heart of Buddha, but they have little wisdom roots, it is difficult to become a great weapon. They repeatedly begged to worship under the poor monk's school, but it's a pity..."

Plop, plop, plop~

The three people suddenly knelt down in front of Xuanzang again after hearing the words, and begged devoutly: "I beg the master to accept the three of us as disciples. I will serve the master for the rest of my life, promote the great compassion of my Buddhism, and save the world."

Seeing this, Xuanzang shook his head and sighed, and said with a wry smile to Guoye: "Look, here we come again. They have been doing this repeatedly on the journey of seeking scriptures. It's a pity that they are stubborn and lack wisdom, and they have no chance with my Buddhism!"

Monk Bianji stood behind the three kneeling people. After listening to the master's words, he couldn't help puffing out his chest, and said arrogantly in his heart, hum, so what if the three of you accompany the master to seek the truth through hardships?It's a pity that you don't have the roots of wisdom, and you can't worship under the master at all. No one can shake my status as a disciple of Master Xuanzang.

Coincidentally, Guo Ye seemed to see through Bian Ji's dirty mind.

Immediately, Guo Ye suddenly became serious, and said in a reproachful tone: "Xuanzang, I am not happy for you to do this. How can you reject them because they have no roots of wisdom? The three of them accompanied You have traveled thousands of miles to seek the scriptures, which proves that they have great perseverance that ordinary people do not have. And they can go to Tianzhu with you back and forth, from the beginning to the end, which shows that they have a great opportunity with you. It is said that Buddha crossing is destined People, why did you become so discriminatory when you came to Xuanzang? No, no, Xuanzang, it’s not good for you, you’ve already got a picture.”

"Uh……"

Xuanzang's complexion changed drastically when he heard the words, his whole body collapsed like thunder, and he fell into deep thought and self-examination.

On the contrary, Monk Bianji, as if he had found a strong sense of crisis, looked at Guo Ye and the three people on the ground warily.

After about a few breaths, Tang Xuanzang proclaimed the Buddha's name again, and sighed as if he had a great understanding: "Brother Guo's words awakened the dreamer, it seems that the poor monk has enjoyed too much honor recently, and has become It’s a bit flashy. You’re right, it’s a poor monk’s photoshoot.”

As he said that, Xuanzang waved his hands at the three of them, and said softly: "You three, get up, and from now on, you will worship under the poor monk's sect."

The three of them were very excited when they heard the words, and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Monk Bianji's complexion changed drastically, and his eyes turned from the three of them to Guo Ye, with a flash of resentment.

Xuanzang looked at the three of them with satisfaction, then at Guo Ye, and said unexpectedly: "Since the three of you are predestined with your master Guo, why don't you let him give you a dharma name. Well, the three of you are better than the master of debate." In the evening, Bian Ji will be the Senior Brother..."

"No, no, no." Guo Ye interrupted Xuanzang's words suddenly, and persuaded, "Great monk, Bianji is too young, and you just accepted him as a disciple, but the three of them accompanied you through Tianzhu. One back and forth, in terms of qualifications, the three of them should be ranked above the debate."

After hearing this, Xuanzang nodded again, saying that it is reasonable and reasonable.

And what about the monk Bianji?Although he didn't dare to object explicitly, he scolded all eighteen generations of Guo Ye's ancestors in his heart.

Guo Ye ignored Monk Hua, but asked the three of them, "How old are you all? What are your surnames? What did you do for a living in the past?"

The sharp-mouthed monkey cheek said humanely: "This disciple is thirty-eight this year, and his surname is Sun. He used to be an escort master who wields knives and sticks."

Fat-headed and big-eared, said humanely: "My disciple is thirty-five this year. His lay surname is Zhu. He used to be a cook in a restaurant."

With beards all over his face, he said: "This disciple has just turned [-] this year, and his family name is Sha. He used to make a living by crossing the river by boat, and occasionally went down the river to sell some small fish and shrimp."

Guo Ye was dizzy again when he heard the words, I am a good boy, surnamed Sun, surnamed Zhu, surnamed Sha?

And such a coincidence?

Immediately, he started to play tricks, silently apologized to Wu Chengen, pointed to the sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked man surnamed Sun, and said, "Okay, from now on you will be a senior brother, and I will give you the name Wukong."

"You are the second senior brother, I give you the name of Wu Neng."

"You are the third senior brother, I give you the name Wujing."

After giving the name, he taunted the resentful Bian Ji who lowered his head and gritted his teeth: "Bian Ji, you look fair and white with a pretty face, oh no, you look like a little white dragon, from now on you will be the Fourth Junior Brother!" Got it. Remember it, from now on you will love and respect the three senior brothers, do you hear me?"

"Bianji, Bianji?"

"I'm asking you something, why don't you say anything?"

Bang! !

Monk Bianji fell to the ground in a daze, his eyes turned white, and his face was full of indignation and unwillingness.

This guy was so angry that he passed out! !

Chapter 739 Changle Princess Li Lizhi

Monk Bianji was so anxious that he held his breath in his throat and couldn't get it out, as if he had passed out after holding his breath.

Seeing the sudden situation, Guo Ye secretly shook his head in disappointment and derogatoryly said that his psychological quality is too bad.

On the contrary, Tang Xuanzang, the master, immediately panicked when he saw something happened to his disciples, and hurriedly asked the three newly recruited disciples to carry the debate machine out of the meditation room.

After exchanging a few words with Guo Ye, he hastily left the meditation room to argue for his disciples and went to find the senior brother in the monastery who is proficient in the art of Qi and Huang.

Before leaving, Xuanzang did not forget to apologize to Guo Ye: "Brother Guo, the villain is terrible, the poor monk will leave first, it is impolite."

Guo Ye nodded slightly, and watched him off: "The great monk is good to go. You and I will have a long time in the future. When I return to Yangzhou in the future, I will chat with the great monk to reminisce about the past."

When Xuanzang heard Guo Ye mentioned the word Yangzhou, he immediately thought of something, and said, "By the way, there is a Qiling Temple in the northern suburbs of Yangzhou, which is the most famous temple in Yangzhou. Master Xuanxing, the abbot of Qiling Temple, had a relationship with the poor monk for a few times, and exchanged shallow and deep conversations. If Brother Guo has spare time in Yangzhou, he can pay a visit to Master Xuanxing, and he will definitely gain something. .”

Guo Ye could hear that Xuanzang was secretly reminding himself that if he encountered trouble in Yangzhou, he could go to Master Xuanxing, the abbot of Qiling Temple, and he should be able to give him some help.

He was rather disdainful in his heart, after all, isn't Master Xuanxing the biggest head monk in Yangzhou?If he came to Yangzhou and encountered something that he couldn't solve himself, he didn't think finding a monk would solve it.

But if you don't reach out to hit the smiling face, let alone Xuanzang is full of enthusiasm, how can Guo Ye pour cold water on him?Naturally, he nodded in agreement and said hello again and again, full of gratitude.

Finally, after clasping his hands together and chanting the Buddha's name, Xuanzang went out and quickly caught up with the four disciples who were not far ahead.

After watching Tang Monk, master and disciples go away, he no longer needed to stay in the meditation room and Da Ci'en Temple, and then said to Liu Zhenxuan, "Zhenxuan, you carry the burden, let's go out of the temple and take the car back."

Liu Zhenxuan hummed, packed the stack of manuscript paper and the sheepskin map into the burden, picked it up on his shoulders, and walked out of the meditation room.

Guo Ye and Li Chunfeng followed behind and walked slowly out of the mountain gate of Da Ci'en Temple.

After leaving the mountain gate and arriving at the parking place just now, Liu Zhenxuan unloaded the burden and loaded the cars one by one, and Li Chunfeng also submitted his resignation letter to Guo Ye, saying: "Uncle Master, then, if there is nothing else, I will return to Panlong Temple to return to my life first." I have to have a good talk with my master, this time Daci'en Temple is coming menacingly, if you don't want to countermeasures, there should be nothing wrong with our Taoists in Chang'an."

Guo Ye knew that this kid was still holding back his energy, so he couldn't help but persuaded with a wry smile: "Master nephew, red lotus, white root and green lotus leaves, the three religions are originally one family. Why do you have to fight to the death and hold back your energy? Peaceful coexistence, seeking common ground while reserving differences, and realizing Wouldn't it be nice to have a win-win?"
