Tang's dining table

"Hainan Airlines……"

Yun Chu stared blankly at the red tail of the plane and muttered to himself.

When he first saw it, Yun Chu's heart stopped beating. Soon, when he saw that the plane seemed to be flying all the time without any sense of distance, he immediately understood that what he saw was a mirage.

When you see a mirage, you see a mirage. Seeing a mirage with an airplane is extraordinary.

Before Yun Chu, there was a mirage in Penglai. He didn't see it when he went to Penglai. Seeing it this time made up for his past regrets.

However, today's mirage is obviously different. In Yunchu's understanding, mirage is just an afterimage of the scenery in other places after being refracted by water vapor. So, does Datang have Hainan Airlines?

Master Xuanzang stood on a tall black rock closest to the sea, with his hands behind his back. His large monk robes were blown by the sea breeze, clearly showing off his skinny figure.

At this time, the old monk looked up at the mirage that was gradually becoming clearer. The loud chanting of the Buddha's name in his mouth seemed to be challenging or questioning the illusory scene.

When some familiar bare mountains appeared, Yunchu finally understood one thing. This mirage had appeared before, and it appeared at the moment he came to Datang.

Sure enough, a moment later, a Harmony train emerged from the mountains in the distance and rushed over like a long dragon.

The appearance of the train panicked the people watching the mirage on the beach. The guards around Li Zhi and Wu Mei firmly protected the couple...

Yun Chu was relieved. Last time, not many people saw the illusion in the Gobi. Even if many people from the Naha tribe saw it, with their intelligence level, it would be easy to turn it into a myth or nonsense. Eight ways.

It's different now. This super-generational scene appears in front of the most visionary, knowledgeable, and judgmental people in the world. I don't know what different consequences it will have.

Now Yun Chu just begs not to get the Son of the Earth out, even if God spares his life.

It's nothing to have a strange phenomenon appear in the sky. The Tang Dynasty has a vast territory. It doesn't matter if there are a few strange things. If a strange person appears in the sky, this strange person will be really bad.

At this moment, Yun Chu felt as if he had been stripped naked in front of others.

Fortunately, the only pictures on the screen were the desolate Gobi, Hainan Airlines flight 9971, and the D2708 Harmony train. Yun Chu looked very friendly. He often rode that train. If he happened to meet that fat girl with Chunma, When grandma looked like a train conductor, I could still get the best cistanche deserticola from her hands.

Yunchu calmed down, but Li Zhi and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty became excited.

Everyone's eyes fell on Master Xuanzang who was standing on the rocks with his hands stretched out in a hug.

The reason for all this is that Master Xuanzang clearly recorded this scene in his "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" - Xuanzang returned to the west and when he passed the Black Stone Mountain, the sky appeared brilliant and there were iron birds flying in the sky. , there are giant dragons running across the earth, and there are giant babies crawling in the wilderness and sleeping soundly, I don’t know how many years...

When Xuanzang said these words in the past, even though he was an eminent monk, people still didn't believe what he said. What's more, they thought that this was a story created by Xuanzang, the monk's father, for his unspeakable illegitimate son Yunchu. A transcendent identity.

A high-ranking father paves the way for his young son - everyone in the Tang Dynasty can understand this.

However, what people see now is not complete. They see the iron bird and the iron dragon, but they do not see the giant baby...

For this reason, Li Zhi and Wu Mei looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.

At some point, Yun Jin quietly slipped into his father's arms, pointed at the iron bird in the sky and said, "Yeah, what is that?"

Yun Chu whispered in Yun Jin's ear: "It's an airplane, an aircraft that can carry hundreds of people flying in the sky, covering thousands of miles in one day."

Yun Jin pointed to the train track again: "What is this?"

Yunchu continued softly: "It is a giant carriage that runs on the railway track. It can pull thousands of people at a time and travel thousands of miles a day."

Yun Jin said: "Aye, have you ever sat down?"

Yun Chu lowered his head and looked at his son's big dark eyes and couldn't bear to lie to him, so he whispered in his ear: "I've been there all before."

Yun Jin also hugged Yun Chu's head and said, "I won't tell anyone."

Yun Chu couldn't help laughing. It felt good to have a little secret between father and son.

This mirage appeared for two full hours. Finally, it slowly became blurry, a gust of sea breeze blew, and finally dissipated.

Master Xuanzang no longer stood, but sat cross-legged on the dark rock and began to meditate. Li Zhi loudly called Master Xuanzang three times, but failed to awaken Master Xuanzang from his deep state of trance.

When Li Zhi saw that Master Xuanzang had entered samadhi, he came to Yun Chu and said, "The monk is an honest monk, but he is not completely honest. The truth is mixed with two lies. This is very untrue."

Yun Chu argued: "Maybe the illusion created by the mirage coming out of the sea is not as powerful as the illusion created by the mirage in the desert."

Li Zhi chuckled and said: "It's barely an excuse. With such a mirage, my life in Penglai was not in vain. You, Yunchu, are not the reincarnation of some great big shot. Don't do anything in front of me in the future." Pretend to know everything again.

For more than ten years, a well-read man is not tired of trying to tell lies. "

Yun Chu couldn't defend himself, so he had to bow his head and say yes.

However, the unwilling look in Li Zhi's eyes was even more of a sign of guilt.

A mirage caused great damage to the reputation of Xuanzang's holy monk. It turned out that the holy monk also had selfish motives, and it turned out that the holy monk also had the feeling of licking calves. This made Master Xuanzang almost pulled from the altar.

However, no one expected that this incident would kill Li Zhi's desire to find immortality, and he would regain his vitality and return to his usual indifference.

Yun Chu kept thinking about a question while eating. Can nature really be like a video recorder, repeating the scenes that have appeared on the earth again?

Master Xuanzang sat opposite Yunchu and ate a bowl of plain noodles with relish.

After he finished eating the plain noodles and a few side dishes in the bowl, he said to Yun Chu, who was in a state of deep thought: "The old monk thought that the scene he saw at Heishan Pass might be real."

Yun Chu raised his head in shock and said, "What's the difference?"

Master Xuanzang sighed and said: "Sounds, there is a muffled thunder-like sound of the iron bird across the sky, the iron dragon crawls on the ground and runs fast, there is the sound of breaking the wind, but the mirage that appeared today has no sound and is missing. A baby lying on the ground."

Yunchu saw the bitter look on Master Xuanzang's face and couldn't bear to let the old monk think too much. He had clearly entered a very deep trance today. Normally, once such trance was entered, it would not take three or two days for him to wake up. , however, just one hour passed before he appeared in front of him.

This shows that even though Xuanzang entered the state of trance, he forcibly left the state because of something he couldn't understand. This was a great harm to his holy life.

He whispered: "You are right. The iron bird is called an airplane, and the iron dragon is called an electric train. I have taken a plane and an electric train. These two things are not imaginary. As for the huge baby, it is actually a train. Huge stone sculptures, the things you see are real.

As for the scene you saw today, you can think of it as an illusion, just like the appearance of real things in the mirror, and it is not worth your trouble. "

Xuanzang sighed and said, "Why did you appear in Penglai?"

Yun Chu spread his hands and said, "This may be a coincidence or an opportunity."

Xuanzang shook his head and walked away, minding his own business with his hands behind his back. It could be seen that Yun Chu's words did not make this eminent monk think clearly. On the contrary, they made it even more troublesome.

Yun Chu had a meal with Master Xuanzang. To others, even close people like Yu Xiurong, Wen Wen, and Di Renjie, it seemed that the father and son were discussing how to deal with the situation of lying and bankruptcy.

"Actually, it's quite good. You are a human being. Master Xuanzang put a divine garment on you. Now it's definitely a good thing to take off this garment and return to your roots." Wen Wen thought for a long time before giving it to Yun Chu. An idea.

Yun Chu looked at him with a serious face and said softly, "Master Xuanzang never lies."

Wen Wen nodded and said: "Understand, Master Xuanzang cannot be questioned. If you want to keep your reputation as monk Aye, you have to damage your reputation."

Yunchu was too lazy to explain his relationship with Master Xuanzang to Wen Wen and others. He only thought about how to maintain Master Xuanzang's reputation. Once Master Xuanzang's reputation was damaged, it would be difficult for Naha and others in the Western Regions to return to the Central Plains. Buddhism has received such a large amount of manpower and financial support. Judging from the current state of Naha's Western Region Buddhist Kingdom, it has not yet reached the point where it can stand on its own without any help from the outside world.

"How to maintain the reputation of Master Xuanzang?"

"I firmly deny the rumor that you are the son of Master Xuanzang."

Yun Chu nodded and said, "This is what I have been doing."

Gentle sighed and said: "Although it is a painful choice for you and Master Xuanzang, you still have to formally tell everyone this time that you and Master Xuanzang have no father-son relationship."

Yun Chu understood where Wen Wen's worries were. For a long time, they and Buddhism were regarded as one. This time when the emperor visited the east, he showed no mercy to the temples and Taoist temples here. Not only the Shaolin Temple was During the liquidation, all the temples and Taoist temples in Hedong were included in the liquidation.

If the political power on Yunchu's side is also regarded as the power of Buddhism, Buddhism will only be liquidated even more severely.

Now, there is no doubt that it is time to make a cut. The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. It is best to take advantage of the opportunity created by this mirage to separate from Buddhism and develop separately.
