"Okay, why are you crying?"
"Master Bai, don't blame me, my little girl is really ignorant." Zhang Liang frowned when he saw this, stood up and pulled the tearful Zhang Yuhan to the side, and then said to Bai Song, "My lord, please leave first."
Bai Song looked at Zhang Yuhan and felt that there was a long-lost familiarity in her body.
It was a little strange at first, but then I figured it out.
In the eyes of everyone, the older girl is in her prime of life in Bai Song's eyes.
This sense of familiarity is that I have some similar feelings to the woman in my memory.
At least they match in terms of age, and the female feeling exuded by their physical development is closer to that in memory.
There was only a small feeling, but Bai Song didn't say anything more and left Zhang Mansion.
Back at the palace, Bai Song immediately sent someone to ask for news.
Hearing that the great master Xu Hua had come to the capital, Jian Shisan was very concerned and wanted to personally invite Xu Hua over.
Xu Hua stayed in the palace for a long time and no conflict broke out.
But after hearing that Xu Hua and Xuanzang left the palace, Xuanzang left Chang'an.
Bai Song waited for an hour and finally waited for Xu Hua to appear.
Bai Song went out to greet him in person and saw Jian Shisan next to Xu Hua, and someone was clearly watching further away.
This is the case with Xu Hua. Even after almost twenty years, his name can still touch the hearts of the court.
Even though he had become a monk, the court did not dare to relax at all.
Bai Song hurriedly stepped forward: "Master, you are finally here."
Xu Hua smiled and nodded: "Donor, it is not a good thing for you to meet a poor monk at this time."
"Whatever, Master, please come in."
Bai Song reached out and pulled Xu Hua, but Xu Hua did not move. Instead, he exerted a little force, and Bai Song was pulled to stagger.
This was a small test. Bai Song didn't understand it yet. Then Xu Hua said with a smile: "In a few years, the donor has accommodated 80% of the people. It seems that the donor is really a blessed person."
"Eighty percent?"
Bai Song understood that this was a test of his own skills.
Bai Song was not surprised by this, but it also frightened Bai Song.
Master said it was 80%.
And Bai Song always thought that he had absorbed it all.
Where is the remaining 20%?
Bai Song wanted to ask, but Xu Hua interrupted: "The poor monk said that he can't be your master, because the poor monk can't give any advice to the donor. You can only teach the skills through your own experience, and you are the only one in the world who can do this. Opportunity.”
"Senior..." Jian Shisan suddenly took two steps forward, "When you have free time later, can you give me some advice on two moves?"
Jian Shisan is not a person who likes to fight bravely, but the former martial arts legend is right in front of him. After all, he can't suppress his inner excitement and wants to compete.
But Xu Hua's answer disappointed him.
"The poor monk's skills are in vain and he has become useless. How can he compete with others?"
Jian Shisan frowned: "Senior, you haven't recovered your skills in several years?"
"The transfer of power is irreversible. If the power of this body is lost, it will be lost forever. It will take time to make up for it."
Jian Shisan sighed and looked up and down: "I was offended. Just now I saw that senior's steps were light and his breathing was calm. I thought that senior's skills were still there."
Xu Hua smiled and shook his head: "The poor monk has long said that his seventy years of power have been exhausted, but no one believes it. The court spent a lot of effort to enter the palace today. There are still people watching behind, which is really unnecessary."
"Master, I will live in the palace from now on. You gave me your skills. I will make sure that Master has no worries in his later years."
"The poor monk came to the capital just to spread Buddhism in Chang'an on the orders of my senior brother. There are many temples in the city, so there is no need to worry about where to live."
Bai Song still wanted to say it, but then he quickly invited Xu Hua into the palace to talk.
In the living room of the palace, Bai Song eagerly recounted some of the things he had experienced in the past few years, mainly talking about the change process of his own skills.
Xu Hua just listened and did not give any opinions.
Bai Song said that these were just foreshadowing. The first question he wanted to know was: "Master, what did little Master Xuanzang say to you in the palace?"
"Senior brother advised the emperor not to use the mystery of longevity medicine, and also told about longevity in Buddhism."
Bai Song frowned, not understanding what he heard.
"Buddhist longevity lies in practice, unlike Taoism which relies on elixirs. In Buddhism, there are all people who cannot be saved. In order to gain the emperor's trust, the senior brother used a poor monk as a guide to let the emperor see with his own eyes that the former great master is now He has converted to Buddhism and is no longer the Xu Hua who used to go into the palace to assassinate people."
"Little Master Xuanzang allowed Master to come to Beijing just because of this matter, just to prove that the Buddha can save all people?"
"This is just an introduction. Senior brother has calculated that this is the turning point for the decline of Taoism and the prosperity of Buddhism. With this, he gained the emperor's trust and asked for his order to practice longevity Buddhism for the emperor. From today on, senior brother will go to the west to practice hard meditation and pray for the emperor's longevity. . In exchange, the emperor will promote Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, just like the agreement between the poor monk and the donor."
"West...westward!"
Bai Song's mind buzzed. Could it be that Journey to the West is true?
Xu Hua continued: "Although my senior brother is young, his ambitions are lofty and unparalleled. This trip to the west will never return. The emperor is destined to fail to achieve immortality."
Bai Song thought of the scriptures given to him by his young master.
Now that Xuanzang has left Beijing, the proof can be opened and read.
Bai Song quickly opened the book, and there were three big characters written on a brand new cover - "The Biography of Xuanzang".
There weren't many books, so Bai Song could easily read them and get the general content.
This biography of Xuanzang does not record Journey to the West, but the predecessor of Xuanzang’s young master.
It corresponds to the legend of the reincarnation of Golden Chanzi in Journey to the West.
The book vigorously promotes Jin Chanzi's mission of reincarnation to save the world, and traveling to the west is to awaken the memory of the previous life, and to be recalled to the west to obtain the law of immortality in response to the Buddha's call.
The story has the same general outline as Journey to the West, but the core of the promotion is completely different from Journey to the West.
Xuanzang is the absolute protagonist in the book, which is full of myth and legend.
Obviously, Master Xuanzang wanted him to spread this book to the world in order to give himself a mythical quality and make the world believe that he was the reincarnation of Golden Chanzi.
Bai Song had been reading and gradually frowned.
Xu Hua knew about this "Biography of Xuanzang" and gave Bai Song a long time to read it. Finally he said: "Brother gave the poor monk a task to supervise the donor to complete the agreement. This thing is of great importance to the prosperity of Buddhism. The most important thing is that since the donor has agreed, he must not go back on his word."
"Master, you have been practicing Buddhism for so many years, but have you really learned anything from the Buddhist scriptures?" Bai Song suddenly asked.
"Why do you ask?"
"Although there are many deceitful people in Taoism, in the end, there is something in what they say, whether it is internal skills, mental methods, elixirs, talismans, or the Eight Diagrams and Five Elements... But the words in Buddhism are all illusory. The little master is gone. The mysteries are all in the book. There are so many ignorant people in the world. After reading this book, how can you tell the truth from the false? Do you rely on deception to promote Buddhism?"
