Xuanzang was stunned for a moment and was also shocked by the monk's words, but he was not worried about the possible danger, but because he was worried about the future of Nalanda Temple. But he also knew that the young monk didn't know, so he stood up quickly, adjusted his robes, and then walked outside.
When he arrived at the main hall of Nalanda Temple, Xuanzang noticed that there were already several people here, and the one in Nalanda Temple was naturally the host, Master Jiexian, who was receiving them.
On the other side, Xuanzang saw the obvious costumes of the Tubo nobles and the costumes of the Tang Dynasty.
Seeing this scene, he knew that there should be no danger today.
"Xuan Zang, this is Songtsen Gampo, Zanpo of Tubo, and this is General Xu Zheng, the envoy of General Pei Xingjian, the Commander-in-Chief of the Tang Dynasty in the Chinese War Zone." Master Jiexian introduced Xuanzang.
"I've seen Zanpu, I've seen General Xu Zheng." Xuanzang was a little confused. Although this General Xu's name was very short, the name of the previous General Pei was a bit long. China War Zone? What is China? Xuanzang was a little confused, but he knew that this was a general from the Tang Dynasty.
"Master Xuanzang, you're welcome. I came here specifically to see Master Xuanzang." Xu Zheng said directly with a smile.
"Huh?" Xuanzang was a little confused.
"I'm here to deliver the customs clearance document to Master Xuanzang." Xu Zheng said.
"I have this." Xuanzang was a little surprised. He must have the customs clearance document. Without this thing, he could not leave the Tang Dynasty. Not only the Tang Dynasty, but other countries were also inaccessible.
"Datang reformed the three-province-six-ministry system at the beginning of this year, strengthening the rights of each of the three provinces, and refining the responsibilities of all departments under the Shangshu Province, and the corresponding functional departments have been restructured, so the customs clearance ultimatum The text has also been changed, and the customs clearance documents of the Tang Dynasty will be the same in the future." Xu Zheng explained to Xuanzang.
Then he took a package from the guard behind him, and took out a book that was slightly wider than an adult's hand and handed it to Xuanzang.
Xuanzang stretched out his hands, thanked him first and then took it. When he took it, he noticed that the cover of the customs clearance document was actually made of tanned leather, probably sheepskin.
On its front, there is a circular pattern. The edge of the pattern is composed of abstract wheat ears, gears, carriages and other patterns. Its central part is the front pattern of Tai Chi Palace. Xuanzang recognized it at a glance. Suzaku Gate.
On top of this pattern is a large five-pointed star surrounded by four small stars.
Under the pattern was written a line of large characters: Tang Dynasty Empire. There were also a series of small letters below, but Xuanzang didn't recognize the letters. Anyway, it was not Sanskrit, or Persian, or Greek, but it was similar to Greek letters. Somewhat like.
Below the first line of "Datang Empire" are written four slightly smaller characters: "Customs Clearance Document".
After Xuanzang opened it, there was a line of small print on the first page: Honglu Temple, the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Empire, requested the military and political departments of various countries to facilitate the passage and assistance of licensed personnel.
There is just a variety of information below, including his name, surname, date of birth, place of birth, and a special set of letters and numbers. There is also a special seal next to it. It has no color, but it seems It's like being imprinted directly on it.
The content of the seal is: Honglu Temple, Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty.
In addition, there are dozens of pieces of paper at the back, but there is no content on them. They should be used for signatures of various countries. But when Xuanzang turned the passport to the back, he saw a line of words on the back: Please remember, no matter what Wherever you are and what difficulties you encounter, there is a strong motherland behind you!
Xuanzang looked at this sentence and remained silent for a long time. It was difficult for him to describe what kind of mood he felt when he saw this sentence. As a master who has practiced for many years, Xuanzang thought that he could not say that the ancient well was free of waves, but he was considered a person who rarely had emotional fluctuations.
But when he saw this sentence on the customs clearance document, Xuanzang had an emotion that was difficult to describe.
At this time, he suddenly discovered that he was not really Gu Jing Wubo, and many things had already begun to affect his life since the day he was born. Maybe he would not notice it at ordinary times, but many times, it has actually already happened. The mark is engraved in your bones and blood.
"Thank you so much, General Xu, for coming all the way to deliver me the customs clearance certificate. Xuanzang is extremely grateful." Xuanzang saluted Xu Zheng seriously.
"Master, you're welcome. It is our duty to protect the safety of our people everywhere." Xu Zheng smiled and said, "Zanpu, Master, I wonder if I can have a few words with Master Xuanzang alone?"
"Of course." Songtsen Gampo said with a smile.
Lu Dongzan probably hasn't arrived in Chang'an yet, but there is no way he could fall out with Datang. Today he personally accompanies him here to express his sincerity to Datang.
Songtsen Gampo didn’t believe that the Tang Dynasty sent people all the way here just to send a customs clearance document to an ordinary person. What kind of joke are you kidding me? There must be a profound meaning behind this, and this profound meaning is obviously the test of him by Pei Xingjian, the so-called Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Theater of the Tang Dynasty.
Test them whether Tubo is going to fight back or how to deal with it.
This was the purpose of Pei Xingjian, and sending Xuanzang a customs clearance document was just an excuse for the other party.
Songtsen Gampo and Master Jiexian left, and Xuanzang and Xu Zheng were soon left in the hall.
"Master, the relationship between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty is relatively subtle. If the master is in danger here, you can send someone to the Tang Dynasty for help. Any port will do. And I came here to ask the master if he is in need. Where we can help." Xu Zheng spoke directly.
"No, thank you generals for your attention. I am just a little monk, so I have no virtue and no ability." Xuanzang saluted.
"Master, you're welcome. What I said before was not without purpose, but a request from His Majesty and His Highness to all our soldiers in the Tang Dynasty!" Xu Zheng said with a serious face.
Xuanzang knew which sentence he said.
"Also, Master, just remember the sentence behind the customs clearance certificate." Xu Zheng said with a smile again.
"General Xu, I'm a little curious. I wonder what the Tang Dynasty China War Zone refers to?" Xuanzang asked doubtfully.
"Based on His Highness's detection, the Ministry of Education of the Tang Dynasty divided the world that has been discovered so far and divided the world into four continents. The continent where our Datang is located is Huazhou, and the west of Huazhou is Xizhou. The south is Africa. The southernmost point is Nanyang. Persia, Tianzhu and other places belong to the Chinese region, so it is called the Chinese War Zone. Well, I will give you a map as a gift." Xu Zheng thought for a while, and then took out a map from his body. The deputy map was handed to Xuanzang.
Xuanzang quickly thanked him. The map was still very important. After he took the map, he opened it curiously. When he opened it, he was stunned by the division of countries and the four continents. It turns out that the world is so different. Big?
"But, General Xu, what's going on in this place? This...how did the Tang Dynasty move to the west of the Harsha Dynasty?" Xuanzang was stunned. If he remembered correctly, when he came from there, It's still a small country that split off from Tianzhu, right?
"This place has been captured by the Western Turkic Ashina Shilu Khan, and this Khan yearns for our Datang and wants to join our Datang. This place will become the territory of our Datang in the future. In other words, Master, you will We're back home less than a thousand miles west!" Xu Zheng said with a smile.
Xuanzang: "..."
This... So it turns out that the country can really catch up with wanderers who leave home?
