Vol 11 Chapter 1808: The branch heading east is home

After Uchiha Xuan chatted with Xuanzang for a few days, he also left.
Although he was leaving, he was still near Chang'an City. He didn't want to influence Xuanzang's everything, so let Xuanzang do it himself.
I have done almost everything I should do, and I will leave the rest to Xuanzang.
After being buried in Chang'an City and receiving canonization, he returned to Jinshan Temple.
At this time, all the monks in Jinshan Temple already knew that Xuanzang was going to the west.
Regarding this incident, the monks at Jinshan Temple were very shocked. They couldn't understand why Xuanzang went to the illusory place in Xitian.
The road to the west is very dangerous. Let’s talk about the area of ​​Datang without mentioning other places. Although the area of ​​Datang is already very stable, there are still a lot of dangers, let alone those outside the Datang. The country is gone, some places are deserted, and some places are crowds of demons. In such a place, it is really dangerous.
Therefore, none of them understand Xuanzang.
Xuanzang was already the presiding officer of Jinshan Temple, and he was admired by the monks at Jinshan Temple. Everyone loved him very much.
Moreover, Xuanzang is now a guest of Tang Wang 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 he will definitely stay in the annals of history and be famous for ever.
However, Xuanzang did not do this. He chose a different path, just like when he was a golden cicada, he gave up his position in Lingshan and issued the tenth grand aspiration 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.
He Jin Chanzi never cared about his fame and fortune. Those are all clouds. What he wants is the Buddha in his heart. What he wants is the real Dharma. That's why he wanted to open a way for Buddhism and to the Three Realms. A peaceful and prosperous age.
After Elder Faming learned of Xuanzang's decision, he was also a little surprised, but he was not as worried as others, but was happy and proud of the choice.
He was his apprentice. From the time he started accepting Xuanzang, he knew that his apprentice was absolutely extraordinary and would never be an ordinary life. He would definitely do something vigorous and fight for Dharma. lifelong.
He had expected that Xuanzang would wander around sooner or later, but he didn't expect this day to come so fast, and the place he wandered was still so far away.
Elder Faming sat cross-legged in his bedroom, quietly recalling the scene when he met Xuanzang that year, when he found Xuanzang in the river.
So Xuanzang also became Jiang Liuer.
Later, when Xuanzang grew up and learned about his parents, he helped his father to clean up his grievances. Later, his mother committed suicide and followed his father.
Xuanzang has always stayed in the Jinshan Temple. Xuanzang has been different since he was a child. Everyone is respectful and respectful of Buddhism, and there is no doubt about it. However, Xuanzang always has a lot of doubts about this and that, and the brothers have some bother.
But Elder Faming didn’t think so. He thought Xuanzang’s doing this was a very good thing, because this Buddhism was also done by predecessors. With the development of time, everything is constantly updated, and many things need to be followed. Times change.
At the same time, no one is perfect. Although the Dharma of the year is good, it is also subject to certain era restrictions and personal thoughts. Not all of them are genuine. So when you have questions, you should ask and think. This is very helpful for your Dharma enhancement.
"Master, the disciple is about to go to the west to learn the scriptures. I don't know if I can come back from this trip. Even if I can, I don't know when he will return. Master, disciple..." Looking at the white master, Xuan Zang found that his master was much older, and he was no longer the young and strong master.
My master has entered the age of old age. I don't know how long it will take to go to Xitian this time, and I don't know if the master will be there when I come back again.
Thinking of these things, Xuanzang's eyes were full of tears, and his mood was very low. He was raised by his master since childhood, and Xuanzang would not have been without a master.
"Xuan Zang, as a disciple of Buddhism, you are very happy that you are willing to go to the west to become a teacher for the sake of Buddhism. Buddhism emphasizes that all four are empty. Why are you so reluctant to leave? Master, although I am old, you can rest assured that the master will wait You came back." Faming said to Xuanzang with a smile, he could see what Xuanzang was thinking.
Xuanzang nodded: "Master, please rest assured, this time the disciple will do what I want to do when he goes to Xitian."
"Well, on this road, you also have to be careful, no matter what kind of things you encounter, don't forget your original intention, and you must not gradually change." Elder Faming reminded.
The most important thing in this path of practice is to guard your heart. If you can't even hold your heart, your practice will become more and more biased, and in the end you will fall into the abyss or fall into the abyss.
Xuanzang nodded again and wrote down these words.
After chatting with my master for a whole night, Xuanzang was leaving the next day.
All the monks from above and below Jinshan Temple came to the door to send Xuanzang off.
Everyone is reluctant to give up Xuanzang, Xuanzang is a very good person, they do not want Xuanzang to take risks like this.
"Senior brothers, apprentices and nephews, it is my Datang that I am going to Xitianwei this time, so that we as a whole Buddhism can rest assured for the time being, Xuanzang will definitely bring different changes to our Buddhism. "Xuan Zang said to everyone with a smile.
"Junior Brother Xuanzang, you are so far away on the road to Xitian this time. I don't know when you will return?" a monk asked.
Xuanzang smiled, looked at the tree in front of the door, and said, "If you see all the branches of Chang'an City facing east, it will be when I return."
Everyone nodded and took note.
Xuanzang was wearing a robe and holding a Zen stick in his hand, and headed in the direction of Cicada, because King Tang still wanted to see her and give him one last time.
In front of the west gate of Chang'an City, Li Shimin took hundreds of civil and military officials to bid farewell to Xuanzang.
Xuanzang was also his own good brother, and Li Shimin didn't know when he would see each other again this time.
"Second Brother Li, you don't have to worry too much. I only know that if you go to Xitian, it will take as little as two or three years, and as long as five or six years, you can return." Xuanzang said with a smile.
Li Shimin nodded, then waved his hand, and the man next to him brought up a glass of wine.
Li Shimin knelt down, pinched a handful of soil on the ground and put it into the cup. ..
