In the empty alley, Xuanzang walked silently by himself.
A breeze blew, and a few leaves fell.
The monkey that turned into a flying insect changed its original form and stood in front of Xuanzang, and said with a smile: "It's a really beautiful answer, and it's a man's way. Haha. It would be great if Lingshan's debate could be so smooth."
Hearing this, Xuanzang just passed the monkey step by step: "It's just a little trick. If you really argue, the poor monk will lose."
"Huh?" The monkey was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned around to catch up: "What do you mean? You can't even argue with Lingji? Then how do you deal with the Tathagata?"
"The poor monk has already said it, but it was just a little trick. A trick is hard to be seen. As for who to argue with, it has nothing to do with it. The truth is true, and the false is false."
"Master Xuanzang, please stop! Master Xuanzang, please stop!"
In the back, the tall and thin monk was already chasing after him.
Seeing this, the monkey quickly turned into a flying insect and stood on Xuanzang's shoulder.
"Tell me, what else do you need, how can you argue and win the Tathagata?"
"Lack of a way."
"One way? Can you be more clear?"
"Promoting good, punishing evil, joining the WTO, and leveraging resources are undoubtedly right, and they are the only way to Purdue. However, the poor monk still lacks one of the most crucial things. Without that, everything is rootless. Zhiping."
"what?"
At this moment, the monk had come behind Xuanzang and bowed to Xuanzang: "Master Xuanzang, please stay."
Xuanzang turned his head and silently returned the salute.
The monk said softly, "The Venerable Lingji invites Master Xuanzang to stay in Leiyin County for a while, so I can take a look around."
Xuanzang took a deep breath. But he just folded his hands and bowed again, without making a decision. Turn around and leave.
Monkey whispered: "I think he's not at ease. It's obviously a trap, so let's go. This guy is here to provoke him. If you're not here, he won't be able to slap him."
"The poor monk can leave, but can the residents of Fengxian County also leave?"
This is a vexing question.
Will it rain in Fengxian County? You know, that rain was stolen from somewhere else. As a last resort. As for that well...even if he produces more water. It's not enough to feed an entire county. Besides, even if you let them go, are they really willing to leave like this?
These questions, the more the monkey thinks about it, the more irritable it becomes. The battles between Buddhas and Buddhas are all in vain. This set, he never learned.
For a long time, he had to ask: "Then what should I do? Is there anything I can do. Then I can help you."
"Don't do anything. Really, don't do anything, that's the greatest help to the poor monk. There are some paths that the poor monk has to walk by himself."
"Can you walk by yourself?"
"Hasn't Xuanzang come all the way from seeking France to now?"
"Since you can go by yourself, why did you ask me to help you in the first place?"
Being asked by the monkey, Xuanzang suddenly stopped.
After a long time, he took a step forward again and said slowly: "When I was young and energetic, I thought that the affairs of the Three Realms could be held in the palm of my hand. Only now does the poor monk know that there are too many things in the Three Realms. A last resort, too much powerlessness.”
Monkey was taken aback and asked quickly, "What do you mean by that? Are you trying to give up?"
"This road, since the poor monk has set foot on it. There is no reason to turn back. Do your best... Let's settle down."
"you!"
For a while, the monkey was a little stupid.
Although Monkey himself has questioned the possibility of going west countless times, the words from Xuanzang's mouth are not the same.
Far away, the old prince and his son were already standing by the carriage outside the door waiting for Xuanzang.
In desperation, the flying insect transformed by the monkey flapped its wings and flew away. Xuanzang was left alone and walked towards the two of them.
Seeing the arrival of Xuanzang, the old county king and the prince hurriedly saluted.
Xuanzang also silently returned the salute.
The Prince said, "Has Master Xuanzang met 'Buddha'?"
"I have seen it." Xuanzang nodded slightly.
Seeing this, the two couldn't help but look at each other.
Originally, the prince wanted to ask more, after all, he was really curious about the identity of the "Buddha". But looking at it at this moment, Xuanzang's face was a little unkind. He had to swallow all the words that came to his mouth, and dared not ask more.
After tidying up a bit, the three of them rode back in the carriage.
On the way, looking at the bustling street outside the car window, Xuanzang asked softly, "Has the prince ever thought about how to live in the future?"
"How did you live?" The prince was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Of course it was a good time."
"How to live well?"
"This... bows to the Buddha."
"Salute to Buddha?" Xuanzang slowly turned his head and looked at him: "What else?"
Seeing this, the old county king and the prince seemed to be a little nervous.
In the panic, the prince said quickly: "And... chanting scriptures every day, donating money to build temples, and persuading people to believe in Buddhism..."
After saying that, he lowered his voice and asked cautiously: "I don't know, Master Xuanzang thinks... can you?"
"Is there nothing else?"
"Other things? Master Xuanzang pointed out..."
Xuanzang didn't speak, just watched him silently.
After a long time, the prince carefully added: "As long as you have the blessing of the Buddha, everything will be there, right? Even His Majesty's mind can be changed, and even the rain from the sky can come, what else can't be done? Right? , Master Xuanzang."
Hearing this, Xuanzang nodded silently and smiled helplessly. I didn't know what to say for a while.
Actually... what Lingji said is not wrong.
When arrived at the Prince's Mansion, Xuanzang saw a crowd of people outside the Prince's Mansion from a distance.
"This is…"
"This is all here to meet you." The prince whispered: "Master Xuanzang, the fact that you are staying in the palace must have spread all over the streets, and the villagers are all rushing to see you. Hehe, I arrived last night. It's too late, and it's hard to arrange something. Today, the disciple has prepared a banquet..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xuanzang patted Shizi's hand lightly. Immediately, the prince stopped.
He said softly: "The banquet, let's forget it. The poor monk has no appetite. The catastrophe has just passed, so the prince should leave more food."
After saying that, he said to the old county king beside him, "Let's go through the back door."
"Going through the back door? Master Xuanzang didn't see the villagers? It's all thanks to you that we are today!"
I saw Xuanzang shaking his head and waving his hand, without explaining much.
Xuanzang insisted, the old prince and his son naturally had to obey.
The carriage quietly circled around and entered the palace through the back door.
After Xuanzang returned to his room, the old county prince and master gathered together and whispered.
"Father, did the boy just say something wrong? Master Xuanzang's face... doesn't seem very good."
"Isn't that true? Master Xuanzang has lived in Fengxian County for a long time. According to my father's understanding, Master Xuanzang is a generous person, and he will never be blamed for a small matter."
"Then what should we do next?"
After hesitating for a while, the old county king said softly: "Since Master Xuanzang has already said that he will not see guests, we will do it. We will talk about the future."
"Baby got it."
made up their minds, and the two went to the front hall together to block all the guests back, without explaining anything, and the atmosphere was a little unpleasant.
At this moment, Xuanzang had already locked himself in the house.
The windows on all sides were tightly closed, blocking out all the light, so that in the daytime, the room was completely dark.
He sat quietly by the window, looking down at the Heart-Hidden Stone through the little light that penetrated through the gap, motionless.
"what's wrong?"
Looking back suddenly, Xuanzang found that the monkey was standing behind him, stretching his neck and looking at the hidden heart stone in his hand.
"What's the matter?" the monkey asked again.
"It's nothing." Xuanzang waved his hand and put away the hidden heart stone.
"Why did you suddenly take out the hidden heart stone again? It's not going your way?"
Xuanzang remained silent.
Looking at the light-transmitting gap, the monkey said softly, "Actually, the situation isn't that bad now. At least, the people of Fengxian County are fine. If that's the case, say goodbye to them quickly and leave here. Right. Are you still waiting for Lingji to make a move?"
"Are you okay?" Xuanzang shook his head, pursed his lips and said, "It's not good at all. Didn't you hear what they said just now? Venerable Lingji, this is bringing the entire people of Fengxian County. Bet against the poor monk."
"I...I don't understand."
"You should know what the prince said just now, right?"
"Know, then what?"
"Then?" Xuanzang smiled lightly, closed his eyes slowly, and said softly: "He created the entire Leiyin County out of thin air, and he just wanted to argue with the poor monk here. Every little bit of this Leiyin County, All the examples he gave to the poor monk. Once the poor monk leaves, then Leiyin County will lose its original value and will no longer be able to get his care. You think, with the current thinking of the people of Leiyin County And, where will it sink?"
After being silent for a while, Xuanzang sighed softly: "In this situation of Venerable Lingji, it seems that the poor monk can't escape no matter what."
