As soon as Tang Xuanzang came to the palace, he was received by Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

After some tests by Li Shimin, Li Shimin was completely surprised by Tang Xuanzang's Buddhist heart for the country and the people.

Because Tang Xuanzang said: The purpose of his coming here is not to be the host of the palace, nor to do it for the palace! It is to go to the Western Paradise to learn scriptures, to obtain Mahayana Buddhism and return, and to save all living beings.

When Li Shimin heard this, it was incredible.

How could this fellow actually give up the opportunity of being rich and famous, willing to embark on the road to the west, go through hardships and obstacles, and come back with the scriptures?

Li Shimin asked: "Dare to ask Master, how much money do you need? How much silver? How many guards?"

Tang Xuanzang replied, "Don't bother the poor monk, don't take any money, and don't need guards! Please also ask the emperor to give the poor monk a white horse and an alms bowl!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin was shocked again.

No money, no guards, not even money?

Li Shimin asked, "Why?"

Tang Xuanzang replied, "Because money is something outside of the body. Having it in the body will definitely disturb the firm will of the poor monk! The guards escorted me away, which shows that I am not sincere enough. In this way, I will not be able to see the Buddha! In addition , There will always be a day when all the money is exhausted! Why don't the emperor give the poor monk a begging bowl, so that the poor monk can go westward for alms!"

"See the Buddha?" Li Shimin looked at Tang Xuanzang suspiciously.

"Yes, it is the Tathagata Buddha of Daleiyin Temple!" Tang Xuanzang replied solemnly.

But in fact, this is what Li Chengfeng did to fool Tang Xuanzang.

As for whether Tang Xuanzang could meet the Tathagata Buddha, that is another matter.

But what Li Chengfeng can guarantee is that Tang Xuanzang will be able to get the scriptures back.

After a conversation with Tang Xuanzang, Li Shimin was completely moved by Tang Xuanzang's selfless dedication.

Dang even became brothers with different surnames with Tang Xuanzang, and gave Tang Xuanzang the title of "Yudi".

Because Li Shimin felt that if one day, if Tang Xuanzang really saw the Buddha and returned with the scriptures, Li Shimin, as an older brother, would also be honored.

Moreover, if Tang Xuanzang becomes an eminent monk and goes to heaven to become a Buddha in the future, then Li Shimin is Tang Xuanzang's elder brother.

This wave of sworn worship is not a loss no matter what.

…

A week later, Tang Xuanzang passed Li Shimin's test ahead of schedule and became the temple abbot of the Datang Palace.

But Tang Xuanzang's goal is not just to become the host of the Tang Palace.

What he has to do now is to go to the Western Paradise to learn scriptures, obtain Mahayana Buddhism and return, and save all living beings.

And Li Shimin also agreed with Tang Xuanzang's idea.

Before leaving, Li Shimin also gave Tang Xuanzang a black iron Zen staff and a brocade cassock.

So, one person and one horse bid farewell to Li Shimin and Li Chengfeng at the Xuanwu Gate of the imperial palace.

Then Tang Xuanzang led the white horse, stepped out of the Xuanwu Gate, and set off towards the Western Paradise.

Li Shimin watched Tang Xuanzang's voice fading away, waved his hands with tears in his eyes, and said, "Brother Yu, take care all the way!"

Tang Xuanzang turned his head and bowed, then turned and left without looking back.

So far, no one has been able to shake his belief in going to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures.

…

Chang'an City Imperial Palace, Xuanwu Gate, Wang Dequan handed Li Shimin a brocade cloth and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Everyone was immersed in the sadness of Tang Xuanzang's parting.

However, Li Chengfeng came to Li Shimin's side with a piece of grass in his mouth, put his hands on the back of his head, and said, "Father, you lost! Where's my 3000 Xuanjia army?"

"Ding, surprise from Li Shimin, naughty value +99!"

Li Shimin glanced helplessly at Li Chengfeng, smiled, and asked curiously: "Feng'er, where did you find Master Xuanzang?"

Li Chengfeng smiled and said: "Tianshan Temple! So I won the bet with my father! So when will my father fulfill the bet?"

"This…"

Li Shimin pursed his lips slightly.

The 3000 Xuanjia army is not a small force and powerful.

"Father, you still don't want to give it to me, do you? Father, you can't refuse, after all, I won! I found you a real master, and he was lucky enough to run away!" I went to the Western Paradise to learn Buddhist scriptures! You can't play tricks!"

"Don't worry, Feng'er, you are not joking, I will reward you with the badge of the Three Thousand Xuanjia Army!"

After all, Li Shimin took out a bronze token from his pocket.

Li Shimin said: "Feng'er, you can use this bronze token to go to the Martial Arts Field to mobilize 3,000 Xuanjia troops! What the father promised you, you will definitely do! But, you can't use these 3000 Xuanjia The army is going to do bad things! Otherwise, the emperor still has the power to take back the troops in your hands!"

"Don't worry, father, I won't use these troops to do bad things!"

"Well, good! Haha, let's go, Feng'er will accompany me for a drink or two!"

"Okay, it just so happens that I haven't had a drink for a long time!"

So, Li Chengfeng followed Li Shimin to drink in the imperial dining room.

…

Li Shimin gave Li Chengfeng the 3000 Xuanjia army's troop token.

Li Chengfeng began to get excited.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Chengfeng took the token and came to the martial arts arena to select his 3000 Xuanjia troops.

At this moment, the sky has just dawned and the sun is rising in the east.

Li Jing is training the elite troops of Datang on the martial arts arena.

This is a martial arts venue that can accommodate thousands of people.

Moreover, it is a martial arts venue specially trained for the Xuanjia Army.

Every Xuanjia army can be said to be a one-in-a-million existence. They are big and strong.

Coupled with special armor and a long knife, put it on the battlefield, it is an unshakable mountain.

"One, two. One, two..."

Li Jing yelled loudly: "Everyone give me some exercise~lightnovelpub.net~ Before the weather is hot, everyone will give me 200 push-ups, and then run ten laps around the playground, Eat breakfast! After breakfast, continue to concentrate on training!"

"Yes, General!"

On the martial arts arena, the soldiers shouted in unison.

Li Chengfeng came to Li Jing with a bronze token.

When Li Jing saw the person coming, he cupped his fists and bowed respectfully, said: "Veteran Li Jing, I have seen the Eighth Prince, but I don't know that the Eighth Prince came to the martial arts arena early in the morning, what's the matter?"

"It's something, my prince is here to pick my prince's Xuanjia army!"

A hint of doubt appeared between Li Jing's brows, and he said, "The eighth prince? Choose the Xuanjia army? Do you want one or two? If you need two Xuanjia troops as guards, you just need to tell the emperor, this old minister Send two Xuanjia soldiers to be your bodyguards!"

In Li Jing's eyes, being able to become the guards of the Eighth Prince's True Prince's Mansion is the blessing of these Xuanjia soldiers.

But Li Chengfeng shook his head and said, "General Li Jing, I didn't choose one, nor did I choose two, but 3,000!"

"What? 3000?"

Li Jing was stunned.

"Ding, surprise from Li Jing, naughty value +129!"

3000 Xuanjia troops are enough to capture a city.
