Screencasting of All Worlds Starts from Dragon Ball
Chapter 154 The Journey to the West Begins
"Master Xuanzang is here to see you!"
"Master Xuanzang is here to see you!"
One person passed the message to another, and in less than a moment, Xuanzang was seen walking with big strides, steady and even though he was fast, he was still graceful. There were special people waiting for Xuanzang at each checkpoint to enter the palace. After one level after another, Xuanzang finally arrived at the Taiji Palace.
"I, the humble monk Chen Xuanzang, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Xuanzang bowed respectfully to Emperor Li Shimin.
"Master Xuanzang, there is no need to be polite," Li Shimin said with a smile, "This old monk said he has two treasures, one is a brocade cassock, and the other is a nine-ring staff. I intend to buy them and give them to the master."
Upon hearing this, Master Xuanzang immediately bowed to Li Shimin and said, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and looked at the old monk who was transformed by Guanyin. "Please give me your treasure, and I will reward you with a large sum of money."
The old monk understood and looked at the messenger Hui'an. The messenger Hui'an stepped forward and said, "Please accept my brocade robe." The messenger Hui'an handed the folded brocade robe to Xuanzang.
"Nine-ring Staff"
The old monk walked forward and handed the nine-ring tin staff to Xuanzang. The handle of the nine-ring tin staff was vermilion, and the head of the staff was golden in color. The head of the staff was in the shape of a pagoda with a large ring attached to it, and there were small rings on the large ring. The flying tin on the nine-ring tin staff was sparkling, and matched with the bright red color of the handle, it looked extra solemn.
"Master, can you put it on and show it to me?"
After a while, Xuanzang changed into a brocade cassock. He was worthy of being Xuanzang. As soon as he put on the brocade cassock, an indescribable temperament emanated from him. The gems inlaid on the brocade cassock emitted a dazzling bright light, which made everyone in the Taiji Hall sigh. Xuanzang was originally delicate and tender, and his heroic spirit and the brocade cassock made him look like a banished immortal from heaven, "beautiful" to the extreme.
"Not bad, not bad." Li Shimin was very happy to see Xuanzang like this.
The ministers were stunned. They never thought that a brocade cassock could dress Xuanzang like this. Li Shimin waved his hand and asked people to bring silver. The old monk waved his hand and said, "I have said that if anyone can recognize this treasure, I will not take a penny. It is all about fate."
There was a smile and curiosity in Li Shimin's eyes.
"Wait, the master just talked about Hinayana Buddhism, I wonder if the master knows Mahayana Buddhism?"
At this moment, the old monk transformed by Guanyin walked up to Xuanzang and asked a question.
"Teacher, I have failed to see clearly and have committed many sins. Nowadays, most monks in the East are teaching the Hinayana Buddhism, but they do not know the Mahayana Buddhism."
The old monk said, "Your teachings of the Hinayana cannot help the deceased ascend to heaven, and can only help the mundane world. I have the Three Treasures of the Mahayana Buddhism, which can help the deceased ascend to heaven, help the distressed escape suffering, cultivate the body of infinite life, and achieve the state of no coming and no going."
"That monk, where is your Mahayana Buddhism?"
After hearing what the old monk said, Li Shimin's face turned red with joy and he asked quickly.
"The Great Leiyin Temple in the Great Western Paradise of India is the place where the Buddha Tathagata resides. It can resolve all grievances and eliminate all unnecessary disasters."
"I wonder how far the Great Leiyin Temple is from our Tang Dynasty."
"Going west, it's a distance of 180,000 miles."
As soon as the old monk finished speaking, Xuanzang stood up and said, "In this case, I am willing to serve you as a dog or a horse and go to the West to seek the true scriptures, so that my Tang Dynasty will be forever stable and my king's country will be forever stable for thousands of years."
Li Shimin stepped down from the dragon throne and placed his hands on Xuanzang's shoulders. "Master, don't be afraid of the long journey. I am willing to be your brother through mountains and rivers."
"Your Majesty, I will definitely obtain the true scriptures this time. If I don't reach the West, I will fall into hell forever."
The old monk smiled and said, "The journey to the West is long and there are many wolves, tigers, leopards, demons and monsters. I wonder if you can make it to the West successfully."
"Roth, come here!"
Li Shimin glanced at Sun Wukong, waved his hand and called him to his side.
"His Majesty"
"My dear brother, this is my imperial guard, Luo Te. Although he is not as skilled as those monks who can fly in the clouds or turn beans into soldiers, his skills are unrivaled in the world and are no less capable than the several generals who founded the Tang Dynasty. He will protect my dear brother, the holy monk, as he goes west. Luo Te, I will trouble you to escort my brother to the west this time. When we retrieve the scriptures, I will make arrangements with you."
"I will do my best, even if it means risking my life, to send Master Xuanzang to the West and retrieve the true scriptures for the Tang Dynasty."
"Okay, I really did not choose the wrong person. My brother, I will leave this matter to Roth, you can go with peace of mind."
Xuanzang bowed deeply to Sun Wukong.
.................................. .................................. .................................. ................
After some time, the Astronomical Bureau selected an auspicious day for Xuanzang to set out on his journey. Outside the city gate, a group of princes, ministers and Li Shimin, dressed in a dragon robe, were seeing off Sun Wukong and his companions.
"My dear brother, this is the document of clearance, which will ensure that your brother will have a smooth journey to the West. This is the purple gold bowl, which you can use to beg for food on the way. In addition to Roth, please select two more followers, and a white horse to serve as your brother's legs."
"Thank you, Your Majesty"
"What's your nickname, my brother?" Xuanzang said, "I am a monk, so I don't dare to use a title." Li Shimin said, "At that time, the Bodhisattva said that there are three Buddhist scriptures in the Western Paradise. You can take a title based on the scriptures, how about 'Sanzang'?"
Xuanzang thanked the emperor again, took the wine and said, "Your Majesty, alcohol is the first thing a monk should avoid. As a human being, I will not drink."
Li Shimin said: "Today's trip is different from other things. This is plain wine, just drink this one cup to show my farewell intention."
Xuanzang dared not refuse. He took the wine and was about to drink it when he saw Taizong lower his head, pick up a handful of dust with his imperial finger and flick it into the wine. Sanzang did not understand what he meant.
"As time goes by, the mountains are far away and the roads are long, my brother, can you offer me this wine? I would rather love a pinch of soil in my hometown than ten thousand taels of gold in a foreign land." Xuanzang finally understood the meaning of pinching soil, and drank it all in thanks.
Li Shimin talked to Xuanzang for a long time at the city gate before letting Sun Wukong take Xuanzang and the others on the road. Sun Wukong was very familiar with the road to the west. He recalled that he and several fellow disciples of the Qingshan Sect had traveled a long way to Chang'an in the east to assist Emperor Guangwu in recovering the lost territories. They had walked this road a lot. Although it was five hundred years ago, it was still vivid in his mind. He didn't know how Senior Brother Xiaowu and the others were doing now after five hundred years.
They left Chang'an and headed west. With their pass, they had unimpeded access within the territory of the Tang Dynasty. They were treated with great courtesy in every city they arrived in.
Four people and two horses (Sun Wukong, as Li Shimin's imperial guard, had a black horse) quickly arrived at Qianqiu City. Sun Wukong looked at Qianqiu City standing on the border of the Tang Dynasty. It had already changed its appearance. He couldn't help but sigh that things have changed and people have changed.
