"The Book of Songs" said: Dragon set Zhenguan is thirteen, Wang Xuan public talk about the classics. The Taoist temple began to practice the infinite Dharma, and the clouds and mist shone on the big altar.

The emperor issued an edict to grant grace to repair the temple, and the golden cicada broke out of its shell and turned into Xihan. The result of universal charity is far beyond that of ordinary people, and there are three times before and after the promotion of enlightenment.

Zhenguan thirteen years, the year has already, September Jiaxu three days, Guimao good time. Master Chen Xuanzang, Dachan, gathered 1,200 eminent monks to perform various wonderful scriptures at Huasheng Temple in Chang 'an. After the morning court session, the emperor led his civil and military officials out of the Golden Palace in a phoenix carriage and dragon carriage. He went straight to the temple to burn incense. How can I see that imperial carriage? It was really-

A day of auspicious gas, ten thousand auspicious light. The wind of benevolence is light and light, and the sun is very beautiful. Thousands of officials were divided into front and back, and the flags of the five guards were arranged on both sides. Holding a golden melon, holding an axe, two pairs of pairs to answer; Crimson gauze candle, royal furnace incense, bright mist magnificent. Dragons fly and phoenixes dance, and birds fly. The wise emperor is upright, and the loyal minister is good. The blessing of a thousand years is better than Shun and Yu, and the peace of ten thousand generations is better than Yao and Tang. He also saw the umbrella and the dragon robe, shining with light. Jade chain, colorful phoenix fan, auspicious mist fluttering. Pearl crown jade belt, purple ribbon gold seal. There were 1,000 troops to protect the emperor, and two rows of chariots were supported. The emperor bathed in devout respect for Buddha, converted to good fruit, and liked to burn incense.

The Tang Emperor arrived in front of the temple early and ordered the music to be stopped. He got off the chariot and led many officials to worship Buddha and light incense. After three rounds, he looked up and saw that it was indeed a good Taoist temple. He saw-

Banners and banners danced in the wind, and the treasure cover flew. Banners danced in the air, and streaks of multicolored clouds shook in the air. The treasure cover is shining, reflecting the sun and dancing red lightning. The Buddha's golden elephant appearance is approaching, and the Arhat's jade face is majestic. The vase is filled with immortal flowers, and the sandalwood is burned in the furnace. Fairy flowers are inserted in the vase, and the brocade trees are full of splendor. The stove burned sandalwood, and the fragrant clouds penetrated the clear sky. At that time, fresh fruits were piled up on red plates, and strange sugar cakes were piled up on colorful tables. Eminent monks recite the scriptures, hoping to pull out lonely souls from suffering.

Emperor Taizong and his civil and military officials each lit incense sticks, bowed to the Buddha's golden body, and worshipped the Arhat. He also saw Master Chen Xuanzang, the Great Chandu Gang, leading the monks to worship the King of Tang. At the end of the ceremony, they were divided into classes and placed in their abdication positions. The master presented the notice of helping the orphans to Taizong. The notice said:

The highest virtue is vague, and the Zen is dead. It was quiet and well-informed, and it circulated around the three worlds. It was ever-changing and controlled yin and yang. The body uses the true law, the infinite limit. Look at his lonely soul, deep pity. This is Taizong's holy order: select monks, participate in Zen preaching. Open the door of convenience, open the boat of compassion, save the people of suffering, and avoid the six kinds of diseases. Lead the way to return to the truth, enjoy the chaos of the world, do not do anything, become pure and simple. Relying on this good opportunity, he invited the Qing Dynasty to Jiangque to reward him. Take advantage of my victory to escape from the cage of hell. As soon as possible, you can enjoy the joy of freedom, and travel freely to the West.

"The Book of Songs" said: A furnace of longevity incense, a few volumes of reincarnation. Endless wonderful Dharma spread, boundless grace bathed.

All the sins are eliminated, and all the lonely souls are released from prison. I hope you can protect my country's family and make peace for thousands of years.

Taizong was filled with joy when he saw this and said to the monks,"All of you should be sincere and not neglect Buddhist affairs. After the completion of the work, each has their own blessing, I will reward them heavily, not in vain.”The 1,200 monks kowtowed in unison. That day, after the three fasting sessions, the king of Tang returned. On the seventh day of the festival, he asked for incense. It was getting late, and all the officials retired. Why did you meet so late? Look at that--

Ten thousand miles in the vast sky, the light falls, and the returning crows roost slowly at the foot of the sky. The city was lit up and quiet. It was the time when the Zen monks were meditating.

the evening scene of a night passes by. The next morning, the master sat down again and gathered a crowd to chant scriptures without writing.

On the other hand, Guanyin Bodhisattva of Mount Putuo in the South China Sea had received the order of Tathagata Buddha and visited the good people in Chang 'an City to obtain Buddhist scriptures. For a long time, she had not met anyone who was truly virtuous. Suddenly, he heard that Taizong had announced the good results, elected eminent monks, and held a construction meeting. He also saw that the master of the Master's Altar was Monk Jiang Liuer, the Son of Buddha who had descended from Paradise and the elder he had originally guided to reincarnate. Bodhisattva was very happy. He took the treasure given by Buddha to the long street and sold it with wooden forks. What kind of treasure do you think he is? There was a kasaya, a nine-ringed monk staff, and the three golden hoops.

Wait until later. He only sold his kasaya and staff. In Chang 'an City, there was a monk who was not chosen, but he had a few strings of village money. Seeing the Bodhisattva change into a scabby appearance, dressed in tattered clothes, barefooted and bald, holding the kasaya firmly, he went forward and asked,""Then, how much do you want for your kasaya?”"The cassock is worth five thousand taels of silver, and the staff is worth two thousand taels of silver," the Bodhisattva replied.”"These two mangy monks are lunatics and fools," the monk said with a smile. These two crude items were sold for seven thousand taels of silver? It was just that unless one wore it and became immortal, it was not worth so much! If you take it, you won't be able to sell it!" The Bodhisattva did not argue and walked forward with the wooden fork. After walking for a long time, he came to Donghua Gate and bumped into Prime Minister Xiao Xing, who was returning from his court session. The Bodhisattva did not avoid him openly. He held his kasaya on the street and went straight to the Prime Minister. The prime minister reined in his horse and saw that the kasaya was dazzling. He asked his men how much the seller was asking for. "Five thousand taels for the cassock and two thousand taels for the staff," the Bodhisattva replied.”"What benefits are there that are worth such a high price?" Xiao Xing asked.”"There are advantages and disadvantages to a kasaya," the Bodhisattva said. There are places where money is needed and places where money is not needed." "What is good?" Xiao Xing asked. Why not?" The Bodhisattva said,"Wearing my cassock, you will not fall into depravity, nor fall into hell. You will not suffer from evil, and you will not encounter the den of tigers and wolves. This is a good thing." It is not good for greedy and foolish monks, monks who do not fast or abstain, and ordinary people who destroy scriptures and slander Buddha to find it difficult to see my cassock.”"Why do you want money and not money?”The Bodhisattva said," He doesn't follow the Dharma and doesn't respect the Three Treasures. He forcibly buys a kasaya and a staff. He must sell them for seven thousand taels of silver. If you respect the Three Treasures, be happy when you see good, convert to Buddhism, and can afford it, I will give him the cassock and the staff to form a good relationship with him. This is free of charge.”Hearing this, Xiao Xing's face lit up. Knowing that he was a good person, he dismounted and greeted Bodhisattva politely, saying,"Grand Elder, please forgive my sins. The Emperor of the Great Tang is very kind-hearted, and all the civil and military officials in the court follow his example. Now that the Water and Land Conference is being held, this cassock is just right for Master Chen Xuanzang to wear. I'll go to court with you."

The Bodhisattva gladly obeyed, turned around and walked straight into Donghua Gate. The Yellow Gate officer reported to the emperor and received the emperor's edict to announce it to the palace. Seeing Xiao Xing leading two monks with scabies standing at the foot of the steps, the Tang King asked,""Why did Xiao Xing come to report?" Xiao

"When I left Donghua Gate, I met two monks who were selling cassocks and staves. I thought that Master Xuanzang could wear this dress, so I led the monks to see him.”Taizong was overjoyed and asked how much the kasaya was worth. The Bodhisattva and Mucha stood at the foot of the steps and did not salute. They asked the price of the cassock and replied,"5000 taels of kasaya and 2000 taels of staff.”"What's so good about that kasaya that it's worth so much?" Taizong asked.”Bodhisattva said,"

This kasaya, draped by a dragon, could prevent the roc from devouring it. A trace of crane hanging on, obtaining the marvel of transcending mortals and entering the divine realm. As long as you sit down, there are ten thousand gods to worship the ceremony; Where you move, there are seven Buddhas with you. This kasaya was made of silk from ice silkworms, and a skilled craftsman turned it into thread. The fairy maiden weaved, and the goddess's machine was completed. Square clusters of embroidered seams, pieces of brocade piled up. Exquisite scattered bucket makeup flowers, bright color floating light spray

Baoyan. Put on the red mist wrapped around the body, take off a colorful cloud flying. Mystic light shone outside the Three Heavens Gate, and the aura of treasures appeared in front of the Five Peaks. Passionflowers are embedded in the ground, and stars and elephants are hanging in the sky. There were luminous pearls on the four corners and an emerald on the top. Although there was no complete original body, there were also eight treasures of light. This cassock is folded in leisure time and worn only by saints. When you are free, fold it, and a thousand layers of wrapping will penetrate the rainbow. Only when I met a saint did I wear it, which shocked the gods and ghosts. There were Ruyi Beads, Mani Beads, Dust-repelling Beads, and Air-frozen Beads. There was also the red agate, purple coral, luminous pearl, and sarira. Stealing the moon's white, competing with the sun for red. The sky is full of immortal qi, and the auspicious light holds the sage. Streams of immortal energy filled the sky and shone through the heavens. The holy light shone all over the world. Illuminate the mountains and rivers, frighten tigers and leopards; Shadow the island, move the fish dragon. Along the border, there are two gold locks, and the white jade Cong is connected.

"The Book of Songs" said: Three treasures towering Tao can be respected, four life six do comment. Mingxin understands the laws of heaven and nurtures people, and the ability to pass on wisdom to the lamp.

The golden world protected his body, and his body and mind were cleansed. Ever since the Buddha made the cassock, who dared to cut off the monk's life in ten thousand tribulations?

When the Tang Emperor heard this, he was overjoyed and asked,""Then monk, what are the benefits of the Nine-ringed Staff?”The Bodhisattva said,"My staff is that-"

Copper inlaid with iron to make nine rings, nine sections of immortal rattan forever beautiful. I'm tired of looking green and thin in my hand. I'll go down the mountain and bring back the white clouds.

The five ancestors of Mohe traveled to the palace of heaven, and Luo Bu searched for his mother to break through the earth pass. Not tainted by the filth of the world of mortals, I like to accompany the divine monk to Mount Yushan.

Hearing this, the Tang Emperor opened the kasaya and looked at it from head to toe. It was indeed a good item."Grand Elder, I won't hide it from you. I've opened a good sect today and planted a lot of blessings. I saw many monks gathering in Hua Sheng Temple to practice the scriptures. Among them was a man of great virtue, whose Dharma name was Xuanzang. I'll buy these two treasures of yours and give them to him. How much do you want?" When Bodhisattva heard this, he joined his palms together with Mucha and chanted the name of Buddha. He bowed and said,""Since he has virtue, this penniless monk is willing to give it to him.”After saying that, he left. The King of Tang was anxious for Xiao Yuyu to stop him. He stood in the hall and asked,"You originally said that the kasaya was five thousand taels and the monk staff was two thousand taels. You saw that I wanted to buy it, so you didn't want the money. It was even more absurd. I will pay you back at your original price, but you cannot avoid it.”Bodhisattva raised his hand and said," This poor monk has a wish. He said that if there is someone who respects the Three Treasures, he will be happy when he sees kindness and convert to Buddhism. It is free of charge and I am willing to give it to him. Now I see that Your Majesty is virtuous and good, and respects our Buddhism. Besides, the eminent monk has virtue and conduct and preaches the Great Law. He should be presented to the emperor for free. I'm willing to leave this behind to tell you." The king of Tang was very happy to see him so diligent and ordered Guanglu Temple to hold a banquet to thank him. The Bodhisattva firmly refused to accept it and left happily, still hiding in the temple of Wangdu.

Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty held a court meeting at noon and sent Wei Zheng with an edict to summon Xuanzang to the court. The master was gathering a crowd to ascend the altar, chanting scriptures and verses. When he heard that there was an edict, he went down to the altar, straightened his clothes, and went to see the emperor with Wei Zheng. Taizong replied,"I have to trouble you to verify my good deeds. I have nothing to thank you for." In the morning, Xiao Xing welcomed the two monks and offered to give them a kasaya and a nine-ringed staff. Today, I have specially summoned the Venerable One to bring it to enjoy." Xuanzang kowtowed and thanked him. "If you don't mind, Venerable One," said Taizong,"you can put it on and let me see.”The elder then shook off the cassock and draped it over his body. He stood in front of the steps with a staff in his hand. The monarch and his subjects were all happy. He is truly a buddha, look at him--

The awe-inspiring face is elegant and beautiful, and the Buddha's clothes can be worn as if they were cut. Glows of light filled the universe, and the colors condensed into the universe.

Bright pearls were arranged up and down, and layers of gold thread were worn before and after. The four sides of the silk are surrounded by brocade, and thousands of strange patterns are embroidered.

Eight treasures makeup flower tied button silk, gold ring tie collar climbing velvet buckle. The size of the Buddha's day is high and low, and the astrology is divided into left and right.

Master Xuanzang is fated to have this item. Like a living arhat of bliss, better than the true enlightenment show of the west.

The nine rings of the staff ring, and the Vairocana hat ring are very rich. It is true that the son of Buddha does not spread false things, better than Bodhi without fraud and error.

At that time, the civil and military officials cheered in front of the steps. Taizong was overjoyed. He put on the monk's cassock and held a treasured staff. He also gave two teams of attendants and sent many officials out of the court gate. He taught him to walk on the streets and go to the temple, just like the top scholar praised the official. Xuanzang bowed again to express his gratitude and swayed on the street. Look at Chang 'an City, merchants, scholars, men and women, all praised. "What a fine master!" they all said."He really is a living Arhat descending and a living Bodhisattva descending to the mortal world!”Xuanzang went to the temple, where the monks stayed to meet him. When they saw him wearing the cassock and holding the staff, they all thought that Ksitigarbha had come. They all returned to their homes and waited on him. Xuanzang went to the temple, burned incense and bowed to the Buddha. He also told everyone that he had finished expressing his gratitude to the Buddha and returned to his seat. And the red wheel fell to the west, and it was that-

The sun was setting, and the smoke and grass were mesmerizing. The bells and drums of the imperial capital had just rung. The three clangs cut off the pedestrians, and the streets were silent.

The temple was brightly lit, and the lonely village was deserted and silent. The Zen monk meditated on the incomplete scriptures, which was good for refining the devil and cultivating the nature.

Time is running out, but it is the seventh day of the festival. Xuanzang wrote a memorial asking the king of Tang to burn incense. At this time, the sound of kindness spread all over the world. Emperor Taizong immediately arranged the emperor's chariot, led many civil and military officials, empresses and concubines, relatives, early to the temple. The people of that city, regardless of their age, came to the temple to listen to the lecture. A Bodhisattva and Mucha said,"Today is the day when the land and water meet. Seven after seven will do." I'm with you in the crowd to see how he's doing, to see if the Golden Cicada Master is lucky enough to wear my treasure, and to hear what scripture he's talking about.”The two followed him to the temple. It was fate that I met an old acquaintance, and Prajna returned to the Taoist temple. After entering the temple to see, really is a big country of the celestial dynasty, really better than the woman in the robe, better than the guards in the Gion, not inferior to the temple. The immortal voice was loud and clear, and the Buddhist chants were noisy. This Bodhisattva walked to the side of the Treasure Platform, and indeed, he had the appearance of a wise golden cicada. The poem reads:

All things are clear and clear, and the dust is scattered. Xuanzang sat on the high platform in the ceremony. The lonely soul of the reincarnated soul came secretly and listened to the Dharma.

The way to give things should be far away from the heart, and the door to hide is open at will. When he talked about the infinite Dharma in front of him, everyone, old and young, was very happy.

Another poem says:

So he went to the Dharma lecture hall and met people who knew each other very well. He talked about thousands of things at present, and talked about many achievements in the earthly tribulation.

The clouds of the Dharma can stretch the mountains, and the net of the Dharma can spread all over the sky. To check life is to have good thoughts, and flowers fall like rain.

On the stage, the master read the Sutra of Receiving Life and Saving Death, talked about the Seal Script of Anbang Tianbao, and read the Scroll of Persuading Cultivation. The Bodhisattva came forward, slapped the platform, and shouted,""Then monk, you only talk about Hinayana teachings, but can you talk about Mahayana?”Xuanzang was overjoyed when he heard this. He jumped off the stage and raised his hand at Bodhisattva."Old Master, I have failed you. He saw that the monks in front of him were all talking about the Hinayana teachings, but he did not know what the Mahayana teachings were.”"Your Hinayana teachings cannot allow the dead to ascend," said the Bodhisattva."It can only muddle the secular world and bring light. I have the Mahayana Buddhism Sanzang, who can transcend the dead and ascend to heaven, can save the suffering and free the suffering, can cultivate the infinite longevity body, and can achieve no return and no return.”

At the place where he was speaking, the official of the Department of Fragrance urgently reported to the king of Tang Dynasty: "The Venerable One was talking about a wonderful technique when he was pulled down by two wandering monks who were covered in scabies and spouted nonsense.”Wang Ling captured them and saw many people pushing the two monks into the back Dharma Hall. Upon seeing Taizong, the monk did not even raise his hand or bow. He looked up and said,"What is Your Majesty asking me about?" "You're the monk who gave me the cassock the other day?" The Tang Emperor recognized him.”"That's right," the Bodhisattva replied. "Since you're here to listen to the lecture, you should just eat some vegetarian food. Why are you talking nonsense with my Master, disturbing the Hall of Scriptures and disrupting my Buddhist affairs?"”"What your master taught was the Hinayana teachings," the Bodhisattva said."The dead cannot ascend to heaven." I have the Mahayana Buddhism Sanzang, which can help me escape from death and suffering, and live a long life without decay.”"Where is your Mahayana Buddhism?" Taizong asked with a straight face.”"In the Great Thunderclap Monastery of the Great Western Paradise," the Bodhisattva said,"the Buddha, Rulai, can resolve the knot of injustice and eliminate undeserved calamities.”"Do you remember?" Taizong asked. "I remember," answered Bodhisattva. Taizong was overjoyed."Ask the Venerable One to lead him to the stage and begin his lecture."”

The Bodhisattva took the wooden fork and flew up to the high platform. Then he stepped on the auspicious cloud and went to the nine heavens. He revealed the original body of Salvation and carried the pure bottle of willow. On the left was Mucha Hui An, holding his staff and pulling himself together. They were so happy that they prayed every day of the Tang Dynasty. All the civil and military officials knelt down and burned incense. The monks, nuns, Taoists, laymen, scholars, and merchants in the temple all prayed and said,"Good Bodhisattva, good Bodhisattva!" There are words to prove it, but see that-

Auspicious clouds spread in all directions, and auspicious light protected the body. The Jurchen appeared in the Nine Heavens. The Bodhisattva wore a golden leaf button on his head. It was covered with green flowers, emitting golden light and giving off a sharp aura. She was wearing a light blue robe with a golden dragon and a colorful phoenix. On his chest hung a jade pendant with a fragrant ring facing the moon, dancing in the breeze, mixed with pearls and jade. She tied a silk dress with golden edges around her waist. In front of him was a yellow-haired, red-beaked, white parrot who flew to the East and traveled around the world to show his gratitude and filial piety. In his hand was a precious bottle that was used to help the world. In the bottle was a branch that sprinkled green clouds, scattered evil, and swept away the residual fog and drooping willows. The jade ring is embroidered with buttons, and the golden lotus is deep under the feet. Three days of entry and exit, this was the true Guanyin of saving the world.

Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was so happy that he forgot about the country. Love that civil and military officials, lost the court etiquette. Many people chanted the name of Namo Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. Emperor Taizong immediately issued an edict to teach him to paint the true image of Bodhisattva with his skillful hands. With a decree, Daoist Wu, who had the foresight to paint gods and write saints, was chosen. This person was the one who would later paint meritorious officials in Lingyan Pavilion. At that time, he spread out his wonderful pen and painted a portrait. The Bodhisattva's auspicious cloud gradually faded away, and the golden light disappeared in an instant. He saw a slip of paper fall down from the sky. There were a few lines of praise written clearly on it. Song said:

The etiquette is superior to the monarch of the Tang Dynasty, and there are wonderful articles in the west. The journey is 108,000 miles, and the Mahayana is very attentive.

This sutra can surpass ghosts and spirits. If there are willing to leave, seek Zhengguo golden body.

When Taizong saw Song Zi, he ordered the monks: "Let's just keep the victory for now. When I send someone to obtain the Mahayana Sutra, we will cultivate the good fruit with sincerity.”All the officials obeyed. At that time, he asked in the temple,"Who will accept my decree and go to the Western Heaven to worship the Buddha and ask for the scriptures?”He couldn't ask. A mage flashed past him and bowed before the Emperor."This poor monk is not talented, but I am willing to do my best to seek the true scripture from Your Majesty and pray for the eternal stability of my king's country.”The Tang Emperor was overjoyed. He stepped forward and helped his royal hand up."Venerable One, if you can do your best to be loyal and virtuous, I'm not afraid of the long journey and the mountains and rivers. I'm willing to be your brother.”Xuanzang kowtowed and thanked him. The Emperor of Tang was indeed very virtuous. He went to the Buddha in the temple and bowed four times to Xuanzang, calling him "Your Brother Holy Monk". "Your Majesty," Xuanzang said gratefully,"what have I done to deserve such grace?" When I go, I must sacrifice my life and work hard until I reach the western paradise. If you don't go to the Western Heaven and don't get the true scriptures, you won't dare to return to the country even if you die. You'll fall into hell forever.”Then he lit incense in front of the Buddha and swore an oath. The king of Tang was very happy and immediately ordered him to return to the capital. When the time came to select a good person, he issued a document to go out, so he drove back and dispersed.

Xuanzang also returned to Hongfu Temple. There were many monks and disciples in the temple. They had heard about the matter of obtaining scriptures and had come to meet him. They asked,"Swear that you are willing to go to the western paradise, is that true?" "It's true," Xuanzang replied. "Master," said his disciple,"I heard that the Western Heaven is far away, and there are more tigers, leopards, demons, and devils. I'm afraid I won't be able to return, and I can't guarantee my life.”Xuanzang replied,"I have made a great vow not to take the true scriptures, but to fall into hell forever." Probably because he was favored by the king, he had to be loyal to his country. My departure is really boundless, and it is difficult to determine good or bad.”"Disciples," he said,"after I leave, I'll come back in two or three years, or five or seven years, as soon as I see the pine branches facing east. Otherwise, I won't be able to return." The disciples remembered this very clearly.

The next morning, Taizong held a court meeting, gathered civil and military officials, wrote a document to obtain the scriptures, and used the seal of passage. The Imperial Astronomical Supervisor reported,"Today is a day of good fortune for the people. It is time to go on a long journey.”The Tang King was overjoyed. Then he saw the Yellow Gate official report,"Your brother, the Venerable One, is waiting outside the gate.”"Brother Yu, today is an auspicious day to go out." This was the customs clearance document. I have another purple gold alms bowl for you to use on your journey. Choose two more followers and a silver horse.

for the strength of the feet to travel far. You can proceed here." Xuanzang was very happy. He thanked him and took the things. He had no intention of staying. The king of Tang arranged his carriage and sent him to the outside of the pass with many officials. He saw the monks of Hongfu Temple and his disciples sending Xuanzang's winter and summer clothes to the outside of the pass. When the king of Tang saw this, he first told him to pack up his luggage and horses, and then asked the official to hold a pot and drink wine. Taizong raised his goblet and asked,"What is the noble name of my brother?”"This poor monk is a monk," Xuanzang replied."I dare not call myself a monk.”"At that time, the Bodhisattva said that there was a scripture called Sanzang in the Western Paradise," said Taizong. Your brother can refer to the scriptures and take the title of Sanzang. What do you think?”Xuanzang thanked him again and took the wine."Your Majesty, wine is the first rule of a monk. This Penniless Monk is a person who does not drink.”"Today's trip is different from anything else," said Taizong. This is plain wine, only drink this cup, in order to do my farewell dinner meaning.”Sanzang dared not refuse. He took the wine and was about to drink when Taizong lowered his head and picked up a handful of dust with his royal fingers and flicked it into the wine. Sanzang didn't understand what he meant. Taizong smiled and said,"Brother Yu, when will you be able to return from the Western Paradise?”"Only three years," said Sanzang,"before we go straight back to the Upper Kingdom.”Taizong said,"As time goes by, the mountains and roads are far away. It is better to cherish a handful of soil in your hometown than ten thousand taels of gold in a foreign land.”Sanzang understood the meaning of twisting the earth, thanked him again, drank up the wine, took his leave, and left the pass. The king of Tang returned. After all, I don't know what to do here. Let's listen to the next chapter.
