51. Tell Xuanzang "Journey to the West"
"Destroy Buddha?"
Li Shimin put down the memorial in his hand, raised his lips and smiled: "It's interesting."
He was not surprised.
In fact, every emperor who focuses on government affairs will not ignore the existence of religion.
He has more than one copy of the data that Luo Taisui said.
Although there are differences, it is quite different.
The key is that it is not uncommon for him to pay attention to these things, so how could the child understand it?
Is it true that as my precious daughter said, there is a master behind that child?
So what is the purpose of this so-called expert?
"Father, you will..."
Li Lizhi wanted to ask her father whether he would start to destroy the Buddha. After all, the benefits brought by destroying the Buddha are quite considerable.
But this is the country's priority, and she feels that she should not get involved too deeply.
Li Shimin understood what she meant and smiled and said, "I don't need to do that."
After the great chaos, he had the confidence to lead the Tang Dynasty to prosperity.
Some wealth should be fattened and left to future generations to obtain.
Li Lizhi thought that his and Luo Taisui's ideas coincided with each other, so she asked, "Will the father send someone to find this Xuanzang?"
She agreed to Luo Taisui, so she couldn't break her promise.
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Don't go find it. This monk named Xuanzang has submitted a letter to ask for his visit many times, but he was stopped outside the palace.
Later, Zheng Shanguo also recommended him."
I want to see him, but it's just a matter of one sentence.
But this person has a reputation in Buddhism, and Li Shimin is still hesitating.
Now that he heard that Luo Taisui wanted to see him, Li Shimin suddenly felt that things were not that simple.
Thinking of this, he smiled slightly: "Then arrange for the child Luo Taisui to meet Xuanzang first, and I will decide whether to summon him according to the situation."
In short, let Luo Taisui and Xuanzang first contact, and then Li Lizhi asks about what they have talked about before he makes a decision.
"The monk named Xuanzang is quite persistent and waits outside the Suzaku Gate every day... You can tell the child Luo Taisui about this news."
"…I understand."
Li Lizhi was not stupid and soon realized what her father meant.
And she obviously felt that her father might not see Luo Taisui for the time being.
"Father, there is another thing that is more important..."
...
The next morning.
Luo Taisui, who received the news from Li Lizhi, came to Zhuque's gate early.
Among the crowd coming and going, he saw the handsome monk at a glance.
This person is very tall and dressed in a plain monk's robe. He is outstanding and very conspicuous.
"Monk, where did you come from?"
Luo Taisui walked over and asked loudly as he learned the lines from "Journey to the West".
He thought the other party would say, "I came from the Tang Dynasty in the East and went to the West to seek the true scriptures", but he saw the monk clasping his hands together and said, "Of course, he came from where he came."
I knocked! I didn't play by the routine.
"Then where are you going?" Luo Taisui asked again, and he had already come to the other side.
"Go to where you go." The monk said again.
Can you chat happily?
Luo Taisui didn't reflect on who was the initiator, and grinned and said, "Is that place to go to Nalanda Temple?"
There was finally a trace of turmoil on the monk's face: "Why did the donor know?"
Luo Taisui's smile was a little more cunning: "I once heard a story about a monk named Tang Sanzang, who was reincarnated by Jin Chanzi, a second disciple under the Buddha, who suffered from the suffering of ten generations of reincarnation. Only after going to the West to obtain the true scriptures can one reincarnate the Buddha's disciple."
"Tang Sanzang? Sanzang?" the monk murmured in a low voice.
Luo Taisui ignored him and continued, "On the way to obtain the scriptures in the West, this monk now took a big disciple at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain. He was the Great Sage of Monkey King who made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago and was suppressed by the Buddha of Tathagata...
The eldest disciple is irritable. He started by killing six thieves, slashing demons and destroying demons all the way, creating countless murderous sins...
Later, two more apprentices were accepted...
The second disciple has six impure roots, and the eight precepts are not stopped. On the way to obtain the scriptures, he moved his mind and repeatedly told him that he wanted to leave the family and go home, get married and have children...
The third disciple has a honest and upright personality and is dedicated to going west. He hopes to obtain the true scriptures to justify himself...
So along the way…”
Next, Luo Taisui told the monks the novel "Journey to the West" in the most concise language.
The monk did not interrupt and listened quietly from beginning to end.
Finally, Luo Taisui said that the four masters and apprentices went through 9981 difficulties, successfully achieved the true scriptures, achieved the right result, and then returned to the Tang Dynasty.
The monk finally raised his eyes and looked at Luo Taisui for a moment.
"Who is the Lord?"
