After getting along with Xu Yi for a long time, Xu Yi's normal mind can hardly hide from Huang Mei.
Of course, if Xu Yi wanted to play tricks, Huang Mei thought she was honest and kind, but she still couldn't escape the trap of this ignorant person.
Xu Yi snorted coldly and cursed, "Stop coming up with bad ideas, just take one step at a time."
... ... ...
The dark blue city wall soared into the sky, and after nearly ten miles away, the huge city came into view.
With a humble smile on his face, a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi said to Xu Yifen who was standing on the bow of the flying dragon boat, "Your Majesty, this is the largest city in East Continent. Chang'an City, as far as I know, in terms of scale, It is also the largest city in the entire four continents. The city is full of clothes and rich in style of writing. As far as I know, Your Majesty is also a literary talent. The famous works that were once in Beizhou have been passed down to Dongzhou, and are appreciated by the World Youth Strike Festival .Foreign officials are also very admired..."
The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi who spoke was an envoy of the Ministry of Rites of Dongzhou.
Dongzhou is known as the fertile soil of Shenzhou, where the emperor's way is prosperous, the majesty of the emperors in the world remains undiminished, and Confucianism and Buddhism prosper in the world of cultivation.
The top forces include the Buddhist White Horse Temple and the Confucian Qinglu Academy. These two are similar to the ancestral court and the pope in Xizhou, but they are not in opposition to each other like the ancestral court and the pope. , one maintains the orthodoxy of the emperor's way, and cooperates more than confrontation.
In addition to Baima Temple and Qinglu Academy, Dongzhou also has a similar Biyou Academy, called Theravada Mountain.
In this way, the six major forces occupy two continents respectively.
In order to facilitate communication with each other, the three major forces in each continent have set up permanent units in each other's place.
This time, Xu Yi, as the new false master of the ancestral court, can be regarded as the most honored guest to visit. He led the team and entered the world of Dongzhou. Come outside to meet.
Along the way, the accompanying envoy introduced the scenery of Dongtu, which was very interesting, which made Xu Yi feel relieved along the way.
Entering the sky above Chang'an City, Xu Yi ordered Elder Zeng, the number two person in the ancestral court's trip this time, to lead a team to stay at the An embassy, and then he descended from the dragon boat and began to travel around Chang'an City.
This place is indeed a place of prosperous culture and education. Every time you walk through a street market, you can hear the sound of books. The residents in the city are very gentle and respectful. Almost every few hundred steps, there is an academy or a Buddhist temple.
It can be seen from this that the two schools of Buddhism and Confucianism have really sunk to the bottom, and the power gathered in this way must be vast. No wonder there are rumors in the world that "the west is not as good as the east."
Just as Xu Yi was traveling through Chang'an City, a Tranquility Bird quietly floated in the sky thousands of feet above his head, following him closely.
The Tranquility Bird can hardly see the shape, unless it is very close and observes carefully, it can barely see that every moment, there is a small wave of air in the air.
...
"Master, I measured it with a scale, and this person only melted one fire-type seed. I really can't figure out how this person's cultivation is so low, how he got to this point."
In the dark Buddhist room, Xuan Zhuang sat cross-legged, Bao Xiang's solemn and handsome face showed a strong sense of ascetic beauty, and one person bowed down in front of him, and confessed.
Looking carefully, the man was dressed in Tsing Yi, about forty years old, he was the accompanying envoy who escorted Xu Yi earlier.
Xuan Zhuang's handsome eyebrows were slightly lowered, and he said, "Go and inform Master Cao, we can start to act."
The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi bowed again before resigning.
The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi left, and a middle-aged monk came out from behind the dark blue curtain, sat down opposite Xuan Zhuang, and said in a gentle voice, "Junior Brother, this time is different from the past, this person's climate has become established, his status is distinguished, if one is not dealt with properly, We will be extremely passive, after all those Confucian scholars don't want to be troublesome."
Xuanzhuang said, "Brother, do you know why I entered the Jialan Ancestral Forest when I came back from Xizhou?"
The middle-aged monk said, "Your brother sent Da Hongyuan to the Jialan Ancestral Forest and was baptized by the light of ten thousand Buddhas. He went through an unbearable calamity. In a short period of time, three seeds have been melted. This kind of wisdom and courage is admired by everyone in the White Horse Temple." Clothes."
Xuan Zhuang chanted the Buddha's name, "Senior Brother, you are absurdly praised. Xuan Zhuang knew that he was not a brave person. He risked his life to enter the Jialan Ancestral Forest because of Xu Yi. In the past, Master sent me to lead an important matter into Xizhou , all because of the mess, and finally fell short. Master is magnanimous, never blamed me, and comforted me."
"But Xuanzhuang felt ashamed, so he entered the Jialan Ancestral Forest and was baptized by the light of ten thousand Buddhas, and he became what he is today. Now that this child has come today, it is a good opportunity from God, and Xuanzhuang can't let it go. Besides, I can see it, because Xu The matter of Yi joining and being disturbed is extremely important to Master. Xuanzhuang has received Master's great kindness in this life, and there is no way to repay him, so why should he cherish this body."
The middle-aged monk immediately became serious, "If it is about Master Xuanzang, this matter is no small matter, and no matter how important it is, you can't take it too seriously. Since it is so, the younger brother can do whatever he wants with confidence, and everyone in the White Horse Temple will definitely support it with all his strength."
Xuanzhuang waved his hand and said with a smile, "Mere Xu Yi, even though he has cunning, he can be considered a hero, but he is not worthy of my White Horse Temple's seriousness, a Xuanzhuang is enough."
The middle-aged monk nodded and said, "I have always known the talent of my younger brother, but since this matter is related to Master Xuanzang, I have to ask about it. Even if you are the first one to know, you should come and ask your younger brother. After all, Master Xuanzang is It is my Baima Temple that has been honored for thousands of years, and I am known as the person closest to the earth immortal in the world. This kind of existence, brother, cannot be inadvertently cautious."
Speaking of this, Xuan Zhuang couldn't refuse, so he had to tell the cause and effect.
The middle-aged monk said in amazement, "Master Huineng agrees? Then I can only get a strand of the most precious treasure from the White Horse Temple."
Xuan Zhuang said with a smile, "Compared to Master's great achievements, that treasure is nothing."
The middle-aged monk nodded, "That's the truth, but you still need to be complete. Your strategy is good, but it's not easy to implement. The Pope and Biyou Academy may not cooperate."
Xuanzhuang said, "I invited Liu Jingtian from Hinayana Mountain."
The middle-aged monk Nian Xu smiled, "Liu Jingtian has a lot of friends, if you invite him, the matter will be 80% successful, and the next 20% will depend on your performance. The key is that this person has a noble status and is rumored to be extremely aggressive."
Xuan Zhuang said with a smile, "He is not of high status, I would not set up such a situation, he is aggressive? Such a situation, soft or hard, I can't tell him to play."
...
Xu Yi wandered around the city for two days, and his interest remained undiminished. The boats on the Tusu River and various poetry and prose activities made him linger and forget to return.
In the evening of that day, he was on a painting boat, watching a group of scholars fighting poems and compositions, betting against courtesans, he was in great interest, suddenly there was a movement in Ruyi Pearl, urging the ban to be lifted, but it was Elder Zeng who sent the news, "My lord, let me tell you that Master Xuanzhuang of the White Horse Temple came to pay a visit with all the people, saying that my lord is his old friend, and I came here to visit, to reminisce about the past."
"Understood, I'll be back right away, treat me well, don't neglect me."
Xu Yi replied, closed the Ruyi Pearl, looked into the distance, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and murmured, "Why bother?" Then he left.
