Chapter 1660 Xuanzang!
Sun Wukong's temperament is like this. If people respect him, he will return the same. Li Shimin kept his posture very low as soon as he came up, which undoubtedly won Sun Wukong's favor.
Therefore, Sun Wukong didn't have any airs and smiled directly at Li Shimin: "Since the King of Tang knows my grandson's identity, I don't need to waste any more words."
Having said this, Sun Wukong paused for a moment, and seeing Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling looking at him, he continued -
"My grandson is coming to Chang'an this time. Firstly, I want to protect the pilgrims who are seeking Buddhist scriptures from the West. They have to start from Chang'an. Secondly, I am planning to personally select the pilgrims!"
Hearing Sun Wukong's words, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling couldn't help being stunned for a moment, looking at Sun Wukong with strange expressions.
They never thought that Sun Wukong came here for this purpose.
The more important point is that before Sun Wukong, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva had already come to Chang'an City to select Buddhist monks.
"Could it be that the King of Tang has some difficulties?" Sun Wukong saw the expressions of Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling and couldn't help scratching his head, wondering.
"What the Great Sage doesn't know is that not long ago, Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared in the Jinluan Hall and told me that she would personally select the Buddhist scripture collectors."
Li Shimin looked at Sun Wukong and said in a deep voice: "This is why I ordered to invite eminent monks from all over the world to come to Chang'an.
It was originally planned that in a few days, when all the eminent monks from all over the world would gather in Chang'an, Guanyin Bodhisattva would personally select the sutra collectors. "
"Avalokitesvara?" Sun Wukong frowned when he heard this and said coldly: "Does the King of Tang know where Avalokitesvara is now?"
"It should be in a posthouse somewhere in Chang'an City," Li Shimin said with some uncertainty.
Although he had previously asked Guanyin to stay in Chang'an City for a few days, he was not sure whether Guanyin left suddenly.
After all, with Guanyin's strength, if she really wants to leave Chang'an City quietly, the strong men in Chang'an City really won't be able to detect it.
Sun Wukong nodded when he heard this and said with a smile: "Forget it, let's not cause trouble with Avalokitesvara for now. When the eminent monks gather in Chang'an City in a few days, I will personally select the Buddhist scripture collectors."
After saying that, Sun Wukong was about to turn around and leave.
"Great Sage, please stay," Li Shimin suddenly called out to Sun Wukong.
"What else does King Tang have to do?" Sun Wukong looked at Li Shimin with some confusion after hearing this.
"As for the person who wants to learn the scriptures," Li Shimin looked at Sun Wukong and said hesitantly: "In fact, I have already chosen the person who wants to learn the scriptures. Why don't the Great Sage meet with the person I selected to see if he can match the Great Sage? meaning."
"That's fine," Sun Wukong pondered for a moment after hearing the words, then smiled at Li Shimin.
"Fang Aiqing, please go to Fahua Temple and invite my adopted brother," Li Shimin turned to look at Fang Xuanling and said in a deep voice.
Fang Xuanling nodded, walked out of the imperial study, directly set up the auspicious cloud and flew towards Fahua Temple.
Not long after, Fang Xuanling returned to the imperial study with a young monk.
"Brother, what do you want from me?" The young monk looked at Li Shimin with some doubts in his eyes.
"Xuan Zang, let me introduce you," Li Shimin pointed at Sun Wukong and said with a smile, "This is the Monkey King who caused great trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and he is also one of the people who escorted the pilgrims to the west this time."
After saying that, Li Shimin smiled at Sun Wukong and said: "Great Sage, this is my chosen Buddhist monk and my sworn brother, Xuanzang!"
