A turmoil seemed to subside.

But the subsequent ripples continue.

First, Helan Minzhi killed his mansion and cleaned up his mind.

For this reason, he was also impeached by the counselor Wang Maoshu.

Then another conflict broke out with Taoist priest Guo Xingzhen, and he almost fought in front of Wuhou.

Next, Helan Minzhi and Li Yi's mansion were also obviously distant.

It seems that Helan Minzhi is also surrounded by people with clear minds.

I might have been kept in the dark at that time, but I could still react afterwards.

However, Su Dawei didn't care about these things and didn't want to mix them up.

According to Li Zhi's will, he returned to Chang'an County, met the King of Xinxian, and became his bad commander again.

Qian Bazhi was happy to be a group of old bad guys.

However, after thinking about it, Su Dawei also felt a little bit like it.

When I first returned to Chang'an, I had "make trouble" in Chang'an County, Wannian County, and Dali Temple in order to be assassinated.

Now, for the assassination, Li Zhi sent back to Chang'an County by continuing to be a bad coach.

This seems to be a slap in the face.

Moreover, I had a fight with the Xinxianjun before, and then worked with me, and it would be somewhat disgusting.

Even if Su Dawei didn’t, how could Baoxianjun not have any sting in his heart?

Li Zhi did this time a bit ruthlessly, and he felt a bit like using Su Dawei to beat himself.

However, these are all trivial matters. As long as the position of the Ducha Temple Minister remains unchanged, Su Dawei can tolerate it.

His foundation is now based on the relationship between Empress Wu.

Second, it is power from Ducha Temple.

As for being a bad handsome guy or having a false official position, it is just a icing on the cake.

When everything is smoothed out, time has passed quickly after the end of the New Year and January has come.

After a busy day of the Spring Festival, Su Dawei received the news that shocked and heartbreaking for him.

"The mage passed away."

"His he...has he said something?"

When Su Dawei faced the traveler in front of him, he felt his throat suddenly become extremely dry.

The sunshine in the sky is white for a moment, making people dizzy.

I suddenly felt empty in my heart.

Although he had known this day for a long time, when it really came, it still made him feel extremely sudden and unacceptable.

"Before the master's Nirvana, a disciple asked him, does Western Paradise really exist?"

The walker leaned on an iron rod and slowly sat cross-legged opposite Su Dawei.

His face seemed calm, but his breath seemed a little disordered.

This is the first time Su Dawei has seen this situation happen to the Walker in so many years.

"How did the mage say [pencil novel www.qbxs.me]?"

"He said, it was true." There seemed to be tears flashing in the traveler's eyes.

In the first year of Linde in the Tang Dynasty, in the first month of the first month, a generation of monk, Master Xuanzang, passed away in Yuhua Palace.

According to the "Biography of Master Sanzang of the Great Cisi Temple in the Great Tang Dynasty", Master Xuanzang had already predicted everything.

He once told his assistants and disciples in the translation site: Xuanzang is sixty-five years old this year, and he will be ordered to be sent to this place. The sutras are very large, and he will be afraid of them. Everyone will work hard and do not quit their hard work.

Soon afterwards, he said: If you are indomitable, you should send me to the point of being frugal. You can remove the package and send it. You will still choose a secluded place in the mountain stream and place it. Do not stay near the palace and temple.

An impure body should be kept far away.

This is a last word about what happened behind me, hoping to find a secluded place to settle after death.

On the third day of the first lunar month, Master Xuanzang's disciple begged him to translate the "Dabao Ji Sutra".

After Xuanzang reluctantly translated the first few lines, he suddenly stopped and looked at his disciple calmly and solemnly: This sutra is the same as the Great Prajna, and Xuanzang estimated that his own strength would not be done again, and his death date had arrived, and his momentum was not far away.

On the 24th day of the first lunar month, Xuanzang summoned all his sons who were translating Buddhist scriptures around him and left his last words on earth.

"Xuanzang's poisonous body is very disgusting. After doing what he does, it is not appropriate to stay for a long time.

I wish to give back to sentient beings with the blessings and wisdom I have cultivated, and all sentient beings will live together to see the family members of Shiduotian Maitreya. I wish to do Buddhist rituals according to the Buddha's life.

Even the supreme bodhi.”

The house was quiet for a while.

Su Dawei looked at the walker, his eyes as if he had passed through him, and he saw the scene where he had first met Master Xuanzang many years ago.

Everything is like yesterday.

The master's voice, appearance and appearance are so real in his heart.

But he finally passed away.

Su Dawei's heart was empty and he didn't know where to start.

After a long time, his throat squirmed and said to the walker who was also sitting in front of him: "The master is gone, what are the plans for senior brother?"

"I'm leaving too. This time I'm here to say goodbye to you."

"Go, where to go?"

Su Dawei couldn't react for a moment.

"Go back to Guazhou, it is my hometown."

"Uh, my senior brother's hometown is in Guazhou?"

"Yes, my subdistrict name is Shi Pantuo, and my family is in the Western Regions..."

The walker's hand stroked the iron rod, and his eyes showed a look of memory.

"Time is so fast. Thirty-five years ago, in the third year of Zhenguan, the monk traveled westward and passed by Guazhou. He preached at the local Ashoka Temple for more than a month. I happened to be in the meeting and listened to the sutra in front of the temple. As a result, I listened to it."

The walker seemed to recall something beautiful, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"When people say that Bodhi empowerment, I asked the master to accept me and accompany the master from then on."

"Wait, you... are Shi Pantuo?"

Su Dawei almost jumped up.

As a soul from later generations, he happened to have heard of this name.

It is said that in the later generations of sister caves in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, there was a mural called "The Tang Monk's Going to the Sketches" in Yulin Grottoes.

His paintings were more than three hundred years older than Wu Chengen's Journey to the West.

In the murals, there are only Tang Monk, Baima and a Hu man with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, and there are Zhu Bajie and Sha Monk.

According to later research, the Tang monk in the painting was Xuanzang's original deity.

He was wearing trousers, his coat was covered with robe, his hands were folded, and his face was handsome.

The Hu people wore trousers, numb shoes, gold rings on their heads, low forehead and long mouth, exposed teeth and hair, and wide eyes, looking like people and monkeys.

The image is realistic and wild.

In the painting, the Hu man carries scriptures and holds a horse in his hand.

Later generations have proved that this is the prototype of "Sun Wukong" written by Wu Chengen, named Shi Pantuo.

But there is a problem here.

In Xuanzang's "The Record of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty", although Shi Pantuo accompanied him for a while and sent him out of seclusion, he later felt regretful on the way and even became a murderous intention to kill Xuanzang.

Finally, Xuanzang separated from him and continued on the journey westward.

"Senior brother, you, how could you be Shi Pantuo? You are not..."

"I know, the wizard's "The Record of the Western Regions" says that "Shi Pantuo" is separated from him, right?"

The walker gently stroked the iron rod, tears flashing in his eyes: "That was the mage to protect me."

"Protect?"

"It's not only me, but even the wizard King Qu Wentai, the wizard, did not mention it."

After the walker said this, Su Dawei immediately understood.

Yes, in "The Record of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty", Xuanzang deliberately made some concealment to those who helped him.

The "Biography of the Tripitaka Master of Dacisi Temple in the Great Tang Dynasty" where the disciple listened to his oral narrative on his journey to the west, recorded a piece of claw.

All of this was because the Tang Dynasty fought against the Turks and the border was blocked.

Xuanzang came out of seclusion privately.

According to Tang Dynasty law, it is a serious crime.

"So that's it, I understand."

Su Dawei looked at the walker: "Senior brother, are there any family members in Guazhou?"

The walker showed a crying and laughing expression on his face: "Thirty-five years, how can he have family?"

In later generations, it was verified that Shi Pantuo's hometown was a generation in Suoyang City, Anxi County, Gansu Province.

During the Tang Dynasty, it was probably called Kuyu City, which belonged to Guazhou County of the Tang Dynasty, not far from Gaochang County.

"Since there is no family there, why don't senior brother stay in Chang'an?"

"Although Chang'an is good, I am concerned about only the mage. Now that the mage is not here, I want to go back to where I came."

After the walker finished speaking, he grew up and knocked the iron rod gently on the ground: "Don't forget, what you promised to the mage."

"Don't worry, senior brother, I will definitely hand over the descendants of King Gaochang in "The Record of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty."

“Very good.”

The walker nodded and said, "Then let it go."

"Senior brother, take care of yourself."

Su Dawei stood up and saluted the walker with his hands.

He knew that after this farewell, he would probably never see the traveler again in this life.

Goodbye, Senior Brother Wukong.

...

"There is a river in Guazhou, Jingkou, and Mount Zhong is only separated by several mountains. The spring breeze is greener in the south bank of the river. When will the bright moon shine on me?"

"Brother, what poem are you reading? You don't understand."

Nie Su raised his face, and a glimmer of light flashed in his big eyes, and he looked admiring and admiration.

Su Dawei coughed a little awkwardly and said, "It's nothing, it's just a whim. I remember Brother Walker, by the way, don't ask me what Guazhou is..."

Su Dawei casually recited the poem by Wang Anshi of the Northern Song Dynasty.

This Guazhou is not that Guazhou.

Guazhou in the Northern Song Dynasty belonged to Yangzhou City, while Guazhou where travelers went was in the Gansu area in later generations. Except for the similar names, the two were completely different.

"It's a pity that Master Xuanzang passed away. I actually like to listen to his preaching. I still want to ask him many things about how this demon-subduing pestle appeared in the hands of the master, and there is also something strange about Helan Minzhi and Ming Chongyan. Now, there is no place to ask."

Speaking of this, Su Dawei couldn't help but sigh.

Nie Sula pulled his hand and whispered: "I just celebrated the Lantern Festival, so I can't stay at home for a long time. I'll be busy when I have a case."

"Haha, to be honest, I should spend more time with my Xiao Su."

Su Dawei stretched out his finger and scraped Nie Su's small nose.

I couldn't help but feel a little guilty towards my family.

"By the way, brother, do you know what day it is?"

Nie Su raised his face, dragged Su Dawei's hand, and shook left and right like a coquettish act.

"Today? What is the special day on February 1st?"

"It's the birth of the Sun True Lord."

The first year of Linde of the Tang Dynasty, on the first day of the second month.

The coldness of Chang'an City is still strong.

This day is the birth of the Sun True Lord.

All the people of all families burned incense and kowtowed to the sun, and offered sugar cakes for the true master to eat.

It is called "Sun Cake".

The sun cake is as round as China and Japan, and the cake noodles are carved with bamboo sticks on it.

After the offering is completed, you must recite a passage of the true sun scripture.

Outside the Sun Palace where the Sun True Lord is worshipped in Chang'an, pilgrims gather.

The merchants gathered, in addition to the dazzling array of treasures, there were also juggling performances such as ball dance, plate dance, county voyage, flying balls, drawing distances, carrying tripods, and over-blades.

There are also many singing, dancing and musical instruments.

The emergency pipes are uneven, the long sleeves are graceful, the spring and white snow are flowing, and the clear corners are clear.
