Museum of Demons

The head of the department, Tianzhi Jiude's water god Changcheng, walked out of the range of Kunlun Mountain stiffly, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

Then he stretched out his hand and grabbed the water ghost in elegant deacon clothes in front of him, shaking wildly back and forth.

Is your mouth missing a lock!

So don't talk about it?! Ah?!

The water god long wanted to cry but had no tears, so he had to gnash his teeth.

Dare to directly say that Lu Wu snores, how courageous is this?

As long as he gets involved with that monkey, he always feels that his luck is not good!

The water ghost was dizzy and raised his hand: How about I apologize to you?

Sorry, how are you going to make it up to me!

The water ghost pondered.

Then he solemnly proposed, Or else, I'll fork myself out?

Long Cheng: ...

The water god, who has lived in the house for thousands of years, fell into the decadence of self-doubt.

He should just ignore this guy.

The Lord Chongwu Mountain noticed this strange figure, and he called out with a little curiosity: Changcheng, this is... Changcheng paused in his thoughts, this is the time when the Kunlun gods gathered, if this elder knows , He brought this outsider back, fearing that he would be punished.

Immediately, his thoughts changed slightly, and he said stiffly: I met it, the new water god.

Oh? The new water god...

The old mountain owner was surprised, smiled and said: I didn't know there was a new water god under the quicksand river.

Little guy, what kind of water god are you?

The long multiplier came to an end, and I don't know how to explain it.

The water ghost over there bowed gracefully, and replied without changing his expression:

In the whole museum and the whole old street, no one knows more about Happy Water than I do.

So, I am the god of happy water.

The corner of Chang Cheng's mouth twitched.

For a moment, I had the urge to raise my hand and hit my face.

And the water ghost over there who doesn't know who he is mixing with, seems to have completely maxed out his social skills. When the head of the dead house didn't know it at all, he actually got acquainted with the mountain god and water god over there. The Lord inquired and heard that when the water ghost did not have its own river, he confirmed that the latter had some divinity, and said:

No wonder I saw that although the aura on your body is pure, it is weak.

As a water god, without his own waters, he will naturally continue to weaken...

He pondered for a while, and generously said: In this way, there is still a branch water system on the old man's side, which has never been occupied by the water god. If you don't dislike it, why not settle down there...

Long Cheng: ...

On this day, the River God of Liusha River really sensed it.

What is a lie needs more lies to make up.

………………

Wei Yuan's true spirit is still in his memory.

In fact, this can also be regarded as something that really happened during the Tang Dynasty.

It is true history.

After arriving at the first small city in the Western Regions, they started the real key place of this journey. When Chen Yuan was recording what he saw and heard, Xuanzang once asked him strangely why he paid so much attention to local customs. routes, and what to see.

Chen Yuan couldn't tell the reason.

Just thought it should be done.

Xuanzang didn't care anymore, and the horse bandit Shi Pantuo followed behind. He learned how to use words. When Chen Yuan recorded the long journey that followed, he also recorded many experiences and his own thoughts——

The third:

That Tang monk is a very strange person.

I have met many, many monks from various places.

On this road, there has never been a lack of merchants who transport silk and porcelain, and there is no shortage of monks. Apart from monks, there are all kinds of so-called wise men.

Some of them had haggard faces and frowned tightly, as if they had used all their experiences to think about the great Dharma; Shit does not make sense.

Some are so solemn that even children will be scared to cry, while others are too frivolous.

But I have never seen a person like Xuanzang. He is handsome, with the innocence of a child in his brows and eyes, but he is also full of wisdom and strength. Even in the face of death, there is a smile on the corner of his mouth. But there is a kind of sadness in this smile.

What kind of place is Datang that can breed such a person?

Although I don't like him, I still have to say it.

He is like a real monk.

The seventeenth:

We came to Gaochang Kingdom, which is the overlord of the Western Regions, but before I came here, I never thought that the ruler here is actually a Han from the Central Plains. To what extent are these Han people full of martial virtue? According to the damn stinking hole (smeared here, seems to have stopped suddenly while recording, or got hit hard with a fist)'

According to Nayuan, the capital here is actually very similar to Chang’an City in the Tang Dynasty. Later, I found out that the lord here had been to Chang’an City. Hmph, the lord here wanted the monk to stay, so he tried to persuade him at first. Later, he actually threatened directly, intending to force Xuanzang to stay as a national teacher.

But in the end we left here, not knowing what Master Xuanzang said to him.

King Gaochang sworn brothers with him in front of the Buddha.

This is outrageous.

But it’s good, we are no longer on the road alone, we have 20 years of travel expenses, 30 horses, 25 followers, but the mage was stuffed with four apprentices, and by the way, there was an official from the Gaochang Kingdom...

I don't know, how could the head of a country be willing to worship a wanted monk? How attractive is such a person? But I am more inclined, this Xuanzang did all this with a fist that is bigger than a monk's bowl, but he gave up the position of the national teacher, I am a little surprised.

He doesn't look like a monk anymore.

According to what that...'ape' said, this is more like a Confucian scholar.

Damn it, are all Confucian scholars and civil officials in Middle-earth so outrageous?

The twenty-sixth:

We came to Kucha. There is a strange custom in Kucha. After a child is born, the head is wrapped with a wooden plank. The royal family is no exception. The heads are all deflated, so the women are not very good-looking, but I think, holding a cloth The head, in fact, is almost the same.

I proudly talked to that ape.

Well, that 'ape' beat me up, I'll make a note, stinky monkey.

But here is a really great place, with continuous monk houses, towering pagodas, flying sky dancing in the air, thousands of Buddhas jumping above the head, monks and Buddhas swarming, and the sound of preaching scriptures can be heard endlessly. I thought Xuanzang would stay here for a long time, but he didn't.

A monk told me before that cultivating Buddhism must be a painful thing, but here, I saw on the box containing the eminent monk’s relics, it depicted a song and dance in the world of mortals. I couldn’t think about it, and finally asked Xuanzang , he thought for a long time and told me:

What is the Dharma? The Dharma is for people to use.

If it is possible to achieve a balance between the secular singing and dancing world and the wisdom of eminent monks.

So even if the Buddha is alive, it cannot be said that this is not a kind of brilliant Buddhism.

I suddenly felt a little strange, why would he say such a pious monk, did he really go to the Buddhist kingdom to learn scriptures? And if the Buddha didn't agree with him, what would he do?

After rejecting the position of national teacher.

He once again rejected such a place, bringing the world of mortals and Dharma to a delicate and peaceful place, and moved on. For any monk, leaving such a place where Dharma flourishes is definitely more difficult than giving up treasures. He seems It doesn't look like a Confucian scholar anymore.

He is a ascetic practitioner.

The twenty-seventh:

After leaving Kucha, we have to cross the Snow Mountain, Kunlun Mountain and Tianshan Mountain.

That Chen Yuan, that is, the 'ape', was uneasy for some reason and wanted to climb up Kunlun.

But in order to be safer, we chose to go from the other side. No one has ever climbed up here. It is very dangerous. This time, the snow mountain trip is as high as thousands of feet. There is no road, and even warriors can’t breathe on it. , and in the wind and snow, I saw Tyrannosaurus rex, The wind is cold, there are many Tyrannosaurus rex, flying sand and walking stones, and they will die when they encounter it.

We walked for seven days and half the people died.

I have never seen him so sad.

And during this trip, we encountered robbers on Turkic iron cavalry.

Those Turkic people’s parcels contained the belongings of the dead, and the smell of blood rose to the sky. They pulled the women and men with ropes to run outside. A horse bandit like me can't stand it.

And at this time, I saw Xuanzang's anger for the first time.

He killed fifty-seven Turkic bandits and horse thieves in iron armor with both hands.

Then those who died were buried.

The expression on the face was sad and weak.

I think that when he shot in anger, he looked like the legendary King Kong, and when he recited the scriptures at the end, he seemed to shed tears, weeping for strangers, mourning secretly for those who left, and he was like It is like a Bodhisattva.

I never imagined that compassion and anger could appear on him at the same time.

In this way, he looks more like an ordinary person.

He didn't tell us how to record this time, but the ape and I made changes silently.

We said to the outside world that it was those robbers and horse thieves who started fighting among themselves, divided the spoils unevenly, and broke up in a herd.

Everyone believed it.

Its thirty-seven:

We came to the royal court of the Western Turks.

East Turkic and Datang confront each other, while Western Turkic is actually an ally of Datang.

This time, Xuanzang once again succeeded in gaining the friendship of the Turkic Khan. Although I knew that this friendship was only because of Xuanzang’s personal charm and confidence, although I panicked a lot when his palm was pressed on top of my head, but He was the most convincing person I've ever seen when he put his palms and wand away.

The Turkic Khan sent a general who once went to Chang'an and is proficient in various languages ​​​​to protect us.

Although I believe that Xuanzang can bury this general in the soil with one hand.

In addition, that ape has been running around in this city, writing his so-called Western Regions, geographical situation, climate, products, politics, economy, culture, customs, religion, everything, this guy is really boring, he said these things It will be useful, but if you ask him what it is, he can't answer.

It’s just that someone told him that routes, culture, and customs are the most important things.

Oh, yes, this royal court.

It's called Broken Leaf City.

Shi Pantuo stretched his waist, left his words behind, and taunted the ranger with a mouth like an ape on a daily basis. Then he was beaten up. The son was pulled back by the neck by the monk and ordered to read Buddhist scriptures.

Taking a look, the Buddhist scripture in the ranger's hand is the Vimalakirti Sutra.

During the days of living here, Xuanzang was given a rare lotus seed, but the journey was hard, so he had to put the lotus seed in the water tank in this courtyard, and they left soon. You Xia'er slashed heavily at the door with the Chang'an sword in his hand, the sword aura was sharp.

To show that this is the place where Chang'an Ranger lived.

At this time, no one knew that half a century later, Tang's iron cavalry entered the city of Western Turkic by relying on the route recorded in the Western Regions, and established the Tang's official office in the former royal court. Outside the city, the Queen Empress Wu Zetian ordered the establishment of Buddhist temples.

At this time, a family from Tianshui named Li came to Suiye City.

one day.

Their children found the Vimalakirti Sutra in a crack in the wall

This step of the Buddhist scriptures is also called Qinglian Buddhist scriptures, and because of the quietness of a lotus flower in the courtyard.

Therefore, she called herself Qinglian.

Seventy-two years after Xuanzang and Chen Yuan walked through Suiye City, Layman Qinglian was born here.

And twenty years later, with a long sword on his waist, he walked towards Chang'an like a knight-errant.

History is always like this, intertwined in places that no one has ever imagined, romantic and magnificent.

Of course, the horse bandit didn't care about this, he just accompanied Xuanzang and the ranger whom he turned into an ape, walking hard on the road of the Western Regions, recording what he saw and heard:

‘Samarkand, the people here all believe in Zoroastrianism. '

‘When we entered the city, we were beaten. '

And such things are also recorded in Xuanzang's memories.

My two apprentices were driven away with torches by Zoroastrians and almost lost their lives

The subsequent results are still unable to be put on paper, but no matter whether it is Xuanzang’s memories or the records of the horse bandits, the results are all written down—Xuanzang politely introduced Buddhism to the king of Samarkand, one night 'reversed' the king's faith.

The king gave up Zoroastrianism and began to live according to the etiquette of Middle-earth Buddhism.

Even began to capture and expel Zoroastrianism.

In this kind of behavior, it is hard not to say that there is a reason for the monk to vent his anger on his own people. Anyway, the horse bandit was very happy, and then he came to live. The king’s queen here is the younger sister of King Gaochang, so he thought he should have a good rest. Even Ranger thinks so.

Then they encountered something very confusing.

King Gaochang's sister died.

The king of the living country took a new wife.

Then a bloody thing happened. The king's son fell in love with his stepmother and killed his father. The recorded text reads, The child is young, but the grown-up son inherits the throne and still marries his stepmother as his wife. '

So in the turmoil, Xuanzang opened the way out with a pair of iron fists and an eight-hundred-jin Zen stick.

It actually broke out abruptly.

'In the country of Kapishi, divination with the relics of the Buddha, the omen of the Bodhi tree was obtained. '

'In Gandhara, I saw ruins and met bandits. '

When Xuanzang and Chen Yuan finally arrived at their destination, a very outrageous thing happened. Xuanzang was kidnapped. There was an ancient Hindu goddess, Tuga, who claimed to be the source of the Ganges River. I want Xuanzang to be my sacrifice.

More than fifty warriors from the Age of Gods robbed Xuanzang.

Xuanzang was in a better mood.

So I just laughed and set off the boat of the gods and smashed it on the river. The Biography of Master Sanzang concealed that this was done by Xuanzang. The boat capsized. The warriors of the Age of Gods thought that the gods were angry, so they bowed obediently. '

In the end, when the Tang Dynasty successfully conquered the Eastern Turks and let the Turkic Khans dance in the back garden, Xuanzang and Chen Yuan also arrived at the destination of this trip, raised their heads, and saw the Nalanda Temple.

PS: Today’s second update... In history, Shipantuo actually left Xuanzang outside the Yumen Pass. Of course, there will be an explanation later. Mao Maotou likes it, because in order to shape Xuanzang’s characteristics, he had to use it like this, Recorded in a manner similar to spectator narration.

One of the most popular sayings for Li Bai's birthplace is Sui Ye.

To be honest, the official history is even more outrageous.

Xuanzang's experience is excerpted from: The Biography of Master Sanzang records, yes, the reason written is really that the robbers had internal strife, and then left directly after the internal strife, without doing anything, I believe it.
