"Three of you, that madman was rude and tore the clothes of the master. I am here to apologize." When the team leader saw Zener dressed in Buddhist attire, he hurried over, bowed to the three of them, and said.
Although Chan'er is young, the team leader does not dare to underestimate him. The thirty-six countries in the Western Regions all believe in Buddhism, and there are many young monks. There are several in the Wuji Kingdom.
"Clothes are just external objects. It is their own karma to be torn by others. Donors don't have to worry about it. But who is that crazy donor? Why does he ask a poor monk how to get there?" Zener asked after returning the greeting.
"He is a madman, and no one knows where he came from. He has been wandering around Chigu City for years, talking nonsense. Master, don't take him seriously." The team leader said with a smile.
"Amitabha, this donor is also very pitiful. Donor Shen, Donor Bai, can you cure him?" Zener looked at the madman who was dragged away with pity, chanted a Buddhist name, and asked Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian.
"I just checked on that person's condition. He is in good health. His madness must be caused by a problem with his brain. I'm afraid it will be difficult to cure." Bai Xiaotian said with some embarrassment.
Upon hearing this, Zener sighed and said no more about it.
"Excuse me, where are you three from? What's the matter with you coming to Chigu City?" The captain asked again after the three men finished speaking.
"We are from the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains and this is our first time in Chigu City." Bai Xiaotian raised one hand and performed a Buddhist salute.
"Middle-earth Tang Dynasty, are you three here to attend the Mahayana Dharma Assembly?" The team leader's eyes lit up.
"That's right. I wonder when the Mahayana Dharma Assembly will be held?" Chan'er was about to speak when Shen Luo next to him spoke first.
"The Mahayana Dharma Assembly is scheduled for May 18th, which is more than ten days away. The three distinguished guests, please follow me to the inn to have a rest. I will notify the monks of the Holy Lotus Dharma Assembly to go and express their condolences later." The team leader said hurriedly.
"Thank you, sir." Shen Luo said with a smile.
The captain said he didn't dare, and then immediately ordered his men to find a carriage. After inviting the three people to get on, he personally drove towards the city.
"Mr. Shen, we didn't come to Chigu City to attend the Mahayana Dharma Assembly. It's not nice for you to lie like this." Zener said with a frown.
"Master Chaner, there is no need to be rigid. Aren't you very interested in the Mahayana Dharma Assembly? We are indeed from the Middle-earth, so let's go and see what kind of event this Mahayana Dharma Assembly is. By the way, we can also explore the bottom of Chigu City, which will be beneficial to our subsequent actions." Shen Luo said with a smile.
"Okay." Zener sighed helplessly and said.
The carriage moved forward and soon arrived at the post house.
Not far from the Mahayana Dharma Assembly, there are already quite a few people living here, all of them are envoys and monks from various countries.
The Tang Dynasty was the most powerful country in the Central Plains. Especially after Jin Chanzi went on a journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures, the Mahayana Sutra was introduced from the Central Plains to the countries in the Western Regions, making the Tang Dynasty's status in the Western Regions even more lofty. The inn arranged the best accommodation for the three people, an independent courtyard, and also sent an attendant named Duke to Shen Luo and his friends.
"Duke, we have come all the way from the Tang Dynasty and don't know much about the Mahayana Dharma Assembly. Who presided over this Dharma Assembly? Why did so many people come to participate?" Shen Luo asked.
