Chapter 1675 Gift From the King of Tang!
"Thank you, Master Guanyin," Xuanzang said seriously as he took the nine-ringed tin staff and the brocade cassock, bowed respectfully to Guanyin.
Although he had long conspired with Li Shimin to split Buddhism and reestablish Taoism, he still had no cultivation base at all. Under such circumstances, he would naturally not act too presumptuously.
Guanyin nodded slightly, then took a deep look at Sun Wukong, and then disappeared in a flash.
After Guanyin left, the eminent monks outside the Jinluan Hall looked at the thing in Xuanzang's hand with envy, but looking at the guards in armor and swords around them, no one dared to make a mistake.
"King Tang, now that the Buddhist scripture collectors have been selected, please ask King Tang to let these eminent monks return to their own temples and concentrate on their practice." Sun Wukong looked at the eminent monks around him, turned to Li Shimin, who was not far away, and said.
"According to Sun Dasheng's words," Li Shimin nodded slightly and ordered: "Fang Xuanling, arrange for all the eminent monks to return to their own temples. In addition, each eminent monk will be given a hundred taels of gold and a cassock."
"I accept my order," Fang Xuanling walked out of the crowd, bowed to Li Shimin, and said seriously.
"Yes," Li Shimin nodded, then looked at Sun Wukong and Xuanzang, and said with a smile: "Sun Dasheng, and Master Xuanzang, please wait a moment, I have another treasure to give you."
"Hey, King Tang is so polite," Sun Wukong cupped his hands at Li Shimin and said with a smile, "As the saying goes, don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I wonder what King Tang has to explain?"
"The Great Sage is wise," Li Shimin smiled when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "The Great Sage and Master Xuanzang traveled westward to obtain the Mahayana Buddha's Dharma to save the people of the Tang Dynasty. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how could I not express it? "
Li Shimin paused for a moment when he said this, and said to Xuanzang: "Sun Dasheng is a man among gods and immortals. I dare not expect to have a relationship with the great sage. If the master does not dislike it, I want to become brothers with different surnames."
"Your majesty, who is ninety-five years old, is able to condescend and condescend to nobles. Naturally, the poor monk has no objection," Xuanzang smiled and said to Li Shimin.
"Well, I have prepared a few things for my brother to prepare for my brother's trip," Li Shimin said, clapped his hands gently, and behind him, two guards came carrying a tray.
There are three things on the tray held by the guard on the left. The one on the left is an alms bowl made of purple gold, the one in the middle is a stack of documents, and the one on the far right is a handful of loess.
As for the guard on the right, there are dozens of gold bars piled in the tray in his hand.
"I have prepared these four things a long time ago," Li Shimin pointed to the things on the tray and said solemnly: "The purple gold alms bowl on the far left was given to me by an eminent monk when I was still the King of Qin. Now I present this alms bowl to my younger brother to help my younger brother make alms."
After finishing speaking, Li Shimin picked up the documents on the tray and said with a smile: "Although our Datang is not famous all over the world, we still have some reputation after all.
This customs clearance document may be able to help my brother when he travels through various countries. "
Sun Wukong and Xuanzang didn't speak, and looked at Li Shimin quietly.
"The third thing is a hundred taels of gold." Li Shimin pointed to the gold bars stacked in another tray and smiled at Xuanzang: "My brother has a long way to go to the West, so I will take these hundred taels of gold with me." As payment."
After speaking, Li Shimin looked at the last tray and said solemnly: "As for the last thing, it is the most important..."
