Chapter 4495

Everyone nodded. Although they still had many doubts, they generally understood some things and had a certain direction.

"Okay, now that the matter is over, everyone should return to their respective places early. Leave the affairs of Chang'an City to me." Gen Uchiha said.

Su Liangliang left with the experts from Heaven.

Gen Uchiha's senior brothers were not in a hurry to leave.

"Junior Brother Xuan, I didn't expect that as time goes by, you and Junior Brother Jinchanzi will gradually come to the same path." Wuchenzi said to Uchiha Xuan with a smile.

Uchiha Genya also smiled slightly: "The two of us want the same thing, so we will naturally come together."

Wu Chenzi nodded, he understood what Xuan Uchiha and Jin Chanzi wanted.

"If you need anything in the future, just tell us. We are brothers and can get along with each other. We will definitely help you without reservation." Hongxia Nu also said to Uchiha Gen.

Among all the fellow apprentices, Hongxia Girl is very, very good to Uchiha Gen. Hongxia Girl is a very loyal person, and she is also very protective of shortcomings. When your fellow juniors are in danger, Hongxia Girl will be the first to do so. If one person stands up, no matter how dangerous the other party is, even if it means sacrificing her own life, Hongxia Girl will not hesitate.

Just like when Sun Wukong was jointly attacked by Tathagata Buddha and others, Hongxia Nu wanted to help. Even if it meant death, he was not willing to sit idly by.

"Brothers and sisters, please rest assured that if I need your help in the future, I will not be polite." Gen Uchiha smiled.

Although he said this, Gen Uchiha still would not come to his senior brothers for help unless it was absolutely necessary.

Because he knew that Xuanzang's journey to the West to preach this time must be very dangerous. It was not as casual as what was said in Journey to the West. What about slaying demons and demons and passing through one level after another was just the appearance, and the inside was It is very dangerous. If you are not careful, your previous efforts may be wasted. It is more likely that members of Uchiha Gen and his faction will die.

After a few words, the fellow disciples all went back, and Patriarch Bodhi did not allow them to stay outside for too long.

At noon the next day, Li Shimin announced in front of the ministers that Xuanzang should go to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures.

Regarding this matter, the officials of the Tang Dynasty all agreed, which was also a good thing. If they could really obtain the Buddhist scriptures, it would be a great joy for them in the Tang Dynasty.

Genya Uchiha found Xuanzang, who was still in Chang'an City. After all, he still needed to be canonized and formally appointed by the imperial court.

"Brother Xuan, this time I went to the West to pray to Buddha and seek scriptures. Why don't you fly there directly, or find someone to send Mahayana Buddhism here?" Gen Chang asked, looking at Uchiha Xuan. He was still a little confused about this matter. .

Gen Uchiha: "If it was really that easy for Xuanzang, he would have accomplished it a long time ago. Just like Guanyin Bodhisattva and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, they also studied Mahayana Buddhism very deeply, but they were unable to understand Mahayana Buddhism. To promote it, this is not only the suppression of the higher-ups of Buddhism, but also a kind of destiny or the restriction of heaven. Mahayana Buddhism cannot be realized by reading a few scriptures. The core of Mahayana Buddhism is to save all living beings. These things are easy to say. , but it is very difficult to do. Therefore, this time you go to the West to worship Buddha and seek sutras. This is not only the key to going to the West to seek Mahayana Buddhism, but also a kind of practice, a kind of enlightenment, and a way to bring Mahayana Buddhism into orthodoxy. It’s a matter of luck.”

Xuanzang listened to Xuan Uchiha's words and nodded after thinking for a while, understanding a lot in his heart.

Although Xuanzang had participated before, this was because he wanted to go out and travel, but in his heart he also wanted to spread Mahayana Buddhism to the Tang Dynasty, so that Mahayana Buddhism could spread throughout the three realms and save all sentient beings in the three realms.

Xuanzang has had this idea since he was a child. He doesn't know why he has such an idea. His masters have never taught him. He just thought of it naturally.

"Xuan Zang, the road to Xitian this time is very, very dangerous. You must be prepared. At the same time, I want to remind you that I will not help you casually on the road to Xitian. There are many things that are difficult to do. You need to solve it yourself, do you understand?" Gen Uchiha said again.

"Brother Xuan, don't worry. Since I have chosen to go to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures, I must be fearless. No matter how difficult it is, I will not be afraid or shrink back. I will definitely reach the goal." Lingshan!" Xuanzang's eyes were full of determination.

Chapter 1808: Branches facing east means return

After Xuan Uchiha chatted with Xuanzang for some days, he also left.

Although he said he had left, he was still near Chang'an City. He didn't want to affect Xuanzang's affairs too much, so he should let Xuanzang do it himself.

I have almost done what I should do, and leave the rest to Xuanzang.

After being buried in Chang'an City and receiving the canonization, he returned to Jinshan Temple.

At this time, all the monks here at Jinshan Temple already knew that Xuanzang was going to the West.

The monks at Jinshan Temple were very shocked by this incident. They couldn't understand why Xuanzang went to that illusory place in the west.

The road to the West is very dangerous. Let’s not talk about other places, let’s talk about the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Although the territory of the Tang Dynasty is already very stable, there are still many dangers, let alone those outside the Tang Dynasty. In this country, some places are deserted, and some places are populated by monsters. In such a place, it is really dangerous.

Therefore, they don’t quite understand Xuanzang.

Xuanzang was already the abbot of Jinshan Temple. He was admired by all the monks in Jinshan Temple, and everyone loved him very much.

Moreover, Xuanzang is now the guest of the Tang Dynasty King Li Shimin, and he is considered a famous monk in the Tang Dynasty. As long as he continues to develop, he will definitely become the number one monk in the Tang Dynasty in the future, and will definitely leave his name in the annals of history and be famous throughout the ages.

However, Xuanzang did not do this and chose a different path. Just like when he was still a golden cicada, he gave up his position in Lingshan and made a tenth life ambition to go and experience suffering in the world. , to open up a new path for Buddhism.

He was like this hundreds of years ago, and he will still be like this hundreds of years later.

Jin Chanzi has never cared about his own fame and fortune. Those are just floating clouds. What he wants is the Buddha in his heart. What he wants is the true Dharma. That’s why he wants to open up a path for Buddhism and bring peace to the three realms. A time of peace and prosperity.

When Elder Faming learned about Xuanzang's decision, he was a little surprised, but he did not feel worried like others, but felt happy and proud of his choice.

He is his disciple. From the moment he accepted Xuanzang, he knew that his disciple was definitely extraordinary and would never have an ordinary life. He would definitely do something spectacular and would definitely fight for Buddhism. lifelong.

He had predicted before that Xuanzang would travel around sooner or later, but he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly, and that the place where he traveled would be so far away.

Elder Faming sat cross-legged in his bedroom, quietly recalling the scene when he met Xuanzang. At that time, he picked Xuanzang in the river.

So Xuanzang also became Jiangliu'er.

Later, when Xuanzang grew up and learned about his parents, he helped his father clear his grievances. Later, his mother also committed suicide and followed his father.

Xuanzang has always stayed in Jinshan Temple. Xuanzang has been different since he was a child. Everyone is respectful to Buddhism and has no doubts. However, Xuanzang always has many doubts and asks about this and that. The brothers are all a little confused. bother.

But Elder Faming didn't think so. He felt that Xuanzang's doing this was a very good thing, because this Buddhist teaching was also done by predecessors. With the development of time, everything is constantly being updated, and many things need to be followed. Change with the times.

At the same time, no one is perfect. Although the Buddhist teachings of the past are good, they are also limited by certain eras and affected by personal thoughts. They may not all be genuine. So when you encounter questions, ask more and think more. This is very helpful for the advancement of your Dharma.

"Master, my disciple is about to go to the West to learn scriptures. I don't know if I can come back. Even if I can come back, I don't know when I can come back. Master, disciple..." Looking at the master with white hair on his temples, Xuan Zang found that his master was much older and was no longer the young and strong master he once was.

His master has entered an old age. He doesn't know how long it will take him to go to the West this time, and he doesn't know if his master will still be there when he comes back.

Thinking of these things, Xuanzang's eyes were filled with tears, and his mood was very low. He had been raised by his master since he was a child. Without his master, Xuanzang would not exist.

"Xuan Zang, as a disciple of Buddhism, I am very happy that you are willing to go to the West to become a teacher for the sake of Buddhism. Buddhism emphasizes that the four elements are empty, so why are you so reluctant to leave? Master, although I am old, don't worry, the master will definitely be waiting. You're back." Faming said to Xuanzang with a smile, he could see what Xuanzang was thinking.

Xuanzang nodded: "Master, please rest assured that this time my disciple will definitely do what I want to do when he goes to the West."

"Okay, you have to be careful along the way. No matter what happens, don't forget your original intention. You must not change it gradually." Elder Faming reminded.

In this path of spiritual practice, the most important thing is to guard your own heart. If you cannot guard your own heart, your practice will become more and more biased, and in the end you will go crazy or fall into the abyss.

Xuanzang nodded again and wrote down these words.

After chatting with his master all night, Xuanzang was leaving the next day.

All the monks in Jinshan Temple came to the door to see Xuanzang off.

Everyone was reluctant to leave Xuanzang. Xuanzang was a very good person, and they did not want Xuanzang to take risks like this.

"My brothers, as well as my disciples and nephews, I am going to Xitian this time to taste the Tang Dynasty, so that we, the entire Buddhist sect, can rest assured that I, Xuanzang, will definitely bring different changes to our Buddhist sect. ." Xuanzang said to everyone with a smile.

"Junior Brother Xuanzang, your journey to the West is so far this time. I wonder when you will return?" asked a monk.
