Emperor Tang wanted to obtain a great monk to go to the Great Leiyin Temple in the West, and the Buddha's Tathagata's place to seek the Mahayana sutra. As soon as this message came out, it caused a stir in the Buddhist temple.

As Guanyin Bodhisattva said, the Buddhist scriptures circulating in Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty are indeed Hinayana Buddhist scriptures. I suddenly heard that there are Mahayana Buddhist scriptures in the Western Daleiyin Temple that can be passed down, which is naturally a great attraction for Buddhists.

Many great monks can be afraid of hardships and life and death in order to seek the true scriptures. Some people also know that going to the Western Daleiyin Temple is a distance of 108,000 miles. Along the way, they are not only crossing mountains and ridges, but also facing threats from various demons and ghosts. If you are not careful, you may die.

This alone discourages many people, and most of the people with such determination and belief are elderly people. These great monks are probably unable to leave the Tang Dynasty, not to mention being alone, and they are all exhausted.

It is obviously not easy to choose a monk who is determined to pursue scriptures, who is able to avoid dangers along the way, and who is proficient in Buddhism, and who represents the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to go to the Great Leiyin Temple in the West to seek the true scriptures.

However, as soon as the emperor opened his golden mouth, the people below naturally had to take action. It happened that the water and land Dharma Assembly was during this time. It can be said that at least 80% of the famous monks in the world came, and they could just screen them from these monks.

Xuanzang's name has gradually spread due to the Water and Land Dharma Assembly, and naturally it has entered the sight of the officials responsible for screening the people who have learned the scriptures.

Who made Xuanzang’s conditions so suitable? On the one hand, he was a monk who was proficient in Buddhism, and on the other hand, he was a man with strong body. Just a strong body, he defeated those monks by 90%.

Even though some monks look about 40 or 50 years old, they can barely be considered strong. The key is that no one can guarantee that the other party will not die of old age on the road to obtaining scriptures.

It’s a journey of 108,000 miles, how many years will it take?

So Xuanzang, a monk in his twenties, suddenly attracted the attention of Tang officials. After investigating Xuanzang's origin, the official who was responsible for selecting monks to obtain scriptures almost laughed out loud without being happy and presented the information about Xuanzang to Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

During this period, Fang Xiaoyu just played the role of his own monk, and went to the water and land fairs like other monks every day, without doing any unnecessary things.

You should know that at this moment, there are many people in the Three Realms who are looking at themselves. Do more and make more mistakes, do less and make less mistakes, and don’t worry about anything else. As long as you play your role well, as for other things, someone will naturally pave the way for them.

Naturally, the eminent monk Fang Xiaoyu entered the sight of Emperor Tang Li Shimin. However, after Li Shimin got the situation about Fang Xiaoyu, he did not summon Fang Xiaoyu, but sent someone to Jinshan Temple to conduct verification and investigation again.

The Zen Master Faming who adopted Xuanzang then came to Chang'an, the imperial capital, and presented the blood books he found during Xuanzang's cradle.

After all, if Li Shimin wanted to investigate Xuanzang's origin, Zen Master Faming naturally had to hand over the blood book. On the one hand, he could also take the opportunity to make Xuanzang's life experience flourish and at the same time prove that Xuanzang's life experience was innocent.

Zen Master Faming has realized that this was Xuanzang's great opportunity. As a member of the Buddhist sect, even if he did not understand the inside story of Journey to the West to seek the scriptures, based on his knowledge, Zen Master Faming also knew that if Xuanzang could really go to the West to seek the scriptures, then this would be a blessing from heaven for Xuanzang.

When he truly seeks the true scriptures and returns, as the temple that taught Xuanzang, Jinshan Temple will definitely be famous all over the world. His master who taught Xuanzang thought that with this merit, he could also ascend to the Pure Land.

Li Shimin was in charge of this matter personally and met Zen Master Faming. He just instinctively investigated Xuanzang's life experience to ensure his integrity, but he never expected that a bloody case would be involved.

It can be said that although there are not many handwritings on the blood book, it also reveals Xuanzang's life experience and the content of the bloody case.

When Li Shimin received the blood letter, he was quite unbelievable. This was actually a case of killing officials and impersonating them. Cases like this were quite rare.

After all, killing an official means rebellion. Unless the kind of person who is forced to go to the fore, he will do such a crazy move. Most people will never dare to kill an official. The most outrageous thing is that the other party not only kills an official, but also robs other people's wives and impersonates the name of the official.

Li Shimin was furious and immediately sent someone to arrest Liu Hong and Li Biao, who had committed such a bloody case, and also sent someone to summon Xuanzang to the palace to meet him.

After learning about Xuanzang's life experience, the candidate for seeking scriptures in Li Shimin's mind was focused on Xuanzang. In Li Shimin's opinion, Xuanzang was the best seeker, and no one was more suitable than him.

When Fang Xiaoyu received the imperial edict, he realized that he happily went to pay homage to Li Shimin.

Facing the emperor Li Shimin, Fang Xiaoyu seemed generous and showed no fear. She was so handsome that she stood before Li Shimin and slowly chanted a Buddhist ritual: "I am a monk Xuanzang, pay homage to my emperor."

Li Shimin only felt good when he saw Fang Xiaoyu at first sight. As a visitor, he went to the West to obtain scriptures. There were more than 100,000 miles apart along the way, and there must be many countries he passed along. After all, Fang Xiaoyu also represented him, Li Shimin, and so represented the face of the Tang Dynasty.

If Fang Xiaoyu is an ugly person, you can imagine that when the Western countries see Fang Xiaoyu, the scholar who seeks scriptures, wouldn’t they secretly mock the eminent Tang Dynasty and not even have a face?

Fang Xiaoyu looked confused, and after paying homage to Li Shimin, he bowed to Zen Master Faming beside him and said, "Disciple has seen the teacher."

Li Shimin nodded to Zen Master Faming and said, "Zen Master, Master Xuanzang is here. You can tell him about his life experience."

Fang Xiaoyu cooperated and looked at Zen Master Faming. Zen Master Faming pronounced the Buddha's name and slowly told him what happened more than 20 years ago.

Fang Xiaoyu's face changed and she had a change of expression. After a long time, she put her hands together, recited the Buddha's name, and said to Li Shimin: "The little monk begs His Majesty to make the decision for the little monk."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "I have sent people eight hundred miles to catch the evil thief who injured your biological father and imprisoned your biological mother. In less than three days, you will see the evil man."

Fang Xiaoyu vaguely remembers the records about this passage. It seems that as Tang Sanzang, his biological father Chen Guangrui, was killed by the thief Liu Hong and Li Biao and threw the body into the river, but Chen Guangrui was rescued by the Dragon King of Hongjiang by chance. He used the Dingyan Pearl to fix Chen Guangrui's body, and later he was able to return to the sun.

There is still a karma and effect to understand this body and Chen Guangrui, so Fang Xiaoyu put his hands together and said to Li Shimin: "The little monk asked His Majesty to allow the little monk to go to Hongjiang to pay tribute to his deceased father to comfort the spirit of the deceased father in heaven."

Seeing Fang Xiaoyu asking for help, Li Shimin pondered for a moment and nodded, "This is the way to be a child. I should allow it. However, Master Xuanzang will wait a few days before the two thieves are arrested and brought to justice. After the two thieves are brought to justice, the master can take the heads of the two thieves to pay tribute to his father."

Fang Xiaoyu was slightly stunned and then said to Li Shimin: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

I thought Fang Xiaoyu would ask for help, but after all, many of the great Buddhist monks were concerned about not killing. Now Fang Xiaoyu's performance made Li Shimin more satisfied.

If it was the kind of nature that was thought of putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately without hurting the lives of an ant, Li Shimin was really worried whether Xuanzang could take on the heavy responsibility of obtaining the scriptures.

This journey to the west is not easy at all. It is a hundred thousand miles away. It would be strange if you say nothing is dangerous on the road.

If you don’t know how to adapt and just be obsessed with Buddhism and think that Buddhism can influence all people in the world, it is really pedantic. Moreover, the Buddha has the appearance of a wise king to subdue demons and eliminate demons.

It took only a few days. The thieves Liu Hong and Li Biao, who had been away from justice for more than ten or twenty years, finally came to justice. The bloody case that year also spread to the imperial capital for a while, adding a bit of legend to Xuanzang, a great Buddhist monk.

By the Hongjiang River, Fang Xiaoyu set up an incense table, burned incense and prayed to worship Chen Guangrui's dead soul. Yin Wenjiao stood beside her, with a look of grace on her face.

At this time, Chen Guangrui, who was rescued by the Dragon King of Hongjiang, felt something and surfaced. She saw her former beloved wife and Xuanzang who looked very similar to her. She didn't know what was going on.

The Dragon King of Hongjiang was alarmed at the same time, knowing that Chen Guangrui had a full disaster and it was time to return the sun.

I saw a body suddenly floating on the calm river surface, alarming Fang Xiaoyu and others by the water.

When everyone salvaged the body, Yin Wenjiao couldn't help but exclaimed: "Chen Lang!"

The officials around looked at Chen Guangrui on the ground, and then Fang Xiaoyu. The two of them seemed to be from the same mold, but one was full of scholarly spirit, while the other was rich in Buddhist aura. With Yin Wenjiao's scream, everyone realized that this was the top scholar of that year, Chen Guangrui.

Just when everyone was very curious about why Chen Guangrui appeared here, waves took off above the Hongjiang River, and a blue dragon appeared and faintly in the water. At the same time, a voice came and said: "Chen Guangrui's disaster is over, and she is back to the sun today."
