In a hurry, a few days later, the Buddha's birthday meeting finally arrived.
In the 13th year of the Zhenguan reign of Longji, the Buddhist assembly was held.
Thousands of officials around the ring wear points, five banners line on both sides.
Holding the golden melon, holding the axe and Tomahawk, pair by pair;
Red gauze candle, Royal incense, mist hall.
Dragon and phoenix dance, a school of auspicious.
The emperor of the Tang Dynasty sits high in the Ming hall, and Ten Thousand Buddhas sit around the Taoist temple, preaching the Scriptures and discussing the Tao.
On the way, there are still many monks walking to the Taoist temple.
Just then, a tall and thin vendor appeared in front of his eyes, dressed in rags, holding a cassock and a tin rod.
The cassock is bright in gold, as if it is made of dragon scale crane silk, woven by fairy and woven by goddess.
The staff is nine feet long, made of copper inlaid with iron, winding like an immortal vine, with night pearls on its four corners and an emerald on its top.
They are all treasures in the world, attracting countless passers-by.
Ziyan had better be lively. She quickly pulls cruel people and Yuxin together.
Among them, a big monk stood in front of the vendor and took the cassock into his hand for tasting. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "how much do you want for your cassock?"
The vendor said, "the cassock is worth five thousand taels, and the staff is worth two thousand taels."
There was an uproar all around.
The big monk said in shame: "are you a crazy peddler? I want 7000 taels of silver for these two vulgar things. Can they live forever and become Buddhists? "
The peddler was not angry, but simply said: "if you wear my cassock, you will not go down, you will not go to hell, you will not suffer from evil, you will not encounter the cave of tiger and wolf, you will not sell it for five thousand taels of silver."
Ziyan was watching with relish when a cruel voice came from her ear and said, "third sister, go and buy the cassock and the staff."
She didn't understand why the cruel man wanted the cassock, but she was very obedient. She immediately jumped out and said in a crisp voice, "if you can't afford the money, get out of the way as soon as possible. Don't delay me to buy it."
The big monk stares at Ziyan and says, "where are you from? I'm the host of Dahong temple. The temple is thousands of miles away, and the tenants are over ten thousand. How can I not get five thousand taels of silver? I just don't want to be cheated."
"Cut, I don't care whether you are Dahong temple or Dalan temple. Since you don't buy it, let's go." Ziyan waved away, looked at the vendor and said, "I want both your cassock and the staff. It's 7000 taels of silver."
With that, Ziyan pointed to the ground, and a big wooden box appeared out of thin air. The lid of the box was opened, and it was full of silver, which caused a lot of noise.
The money is collected by Ziyan when she wanders around Chang'an for one month. Some of the money is used to criticize people's lives, and some of the money is used to get rid of ghosts in ghost houses. The source of the money is very legitimate.
The vendor was stunned at this, and his face was stunned.
The cruel man said with a light smile: "just now the venerable said that the cassock is 5000 Liang and the staff is 2000 Liang. Now it's here. Don't you want to sell it?"
"This..." The vendor hesitated again, not even noticing that the cruel man called him "venerable".
Suddenly, the vendor seemed to see something amazing. His face changed dramatically and he said in a low voice: "since the guests pay, I will sell it naturally."
With that, the vendor put away the silver box and disappeared out of thin air.
Now it's the turn of cruel surprise. She has already figured out that the vendor is extraordinary through crape myrtle contest. The cassock and the staff are also "things determined by heaven". The so-called high price of 7000 Liang is just to hold back idle people and wait for those who are destined to come.
That's why she deliberately enlisted in the army to see the subsequent changes. Unexpectedly, the vendor really gave up the cassock and the staff, which made her feel at a loss.
But I don't know. At that moment, Zhang Tian showed her figure behind her. It was because of seeing Zhang Tian, Nanhai Guanyin, who was disguised as a vendor, that she was so shocked that she couldn't finish her task and left in a hurry.
"Elder sister, what are you doing selling these two things for so much money?" Purple Yan quite some distressed say.
The abbot of Dahong temple on one side is extremely regretful. He looks at the cassock and the staff. He has already fallen in love with them. He expects to take the cassock and the staff to the Buddha meeting, which will shock four people. He just wants to kill the price again, but he doesn't expect Ziyan to take the lead.
Now looking at Ziyan's expression, the great monk hurriedly came forward and said, "poor monk, I don't care. If you don't like it, you might as well transfer it to me."
"There's no way to take advantage of me." Ziyan didn't say well.
The cruel man took the cassock and the staff, and after a little pondering, he suddenly gave a smile. He added a seal to the staff and found it on the ground suddenly. He said in a loud voice, "anyone who can pull out the staff will give it to the monks who pass by."
"Really?"
The abbot of Dahong temple was very happy. He saved two thousand taels of silver and quickly went to pull it out.
However, still with the strength of his breast feeding, he could not shake the staff for half a minute, so he could only scold a few words and leave bitterly.
So after several hours, hundreds of monks tried, but none of them succeeded, but more and more onlookers."Pull it out!"
"Pull it out!"
Just then, there was a noise in the crowd.
The three sisters, who were waiting for tea in the tea shop, went back to check. They saw a young monk with a beautiful face and an extraordinary appearance pulling out his stick.
When the monk saw the cruel man, he quickly came forward and said, "little monk Chen Xuanzang, from Hongfu temple, by coincidence, he pulled out his staff and asked it to return to its original owner."
The cruel man looked him up and down, and said, "the master has come all the way to Chang'an for the Buddha meeting. As an old saying goes, "people need clothes, Buddhas need gold clothes. The master wears simple clothes, and the face of saints is disrespectful. I happen to have a brocade cassock and a nine ring staff here. I'd like to give it to the master and promote Buddhism."
After that, without waiting for Chen Xuanzang's objection, the cruel man pointed to the cassock and the staff, and the two treasures flew up in the air. With a flash of light, they were directly put on Chen Xuanzang's body.
All of a sudden, everyone felt that Chen Xuanzang, who was already pretty, was more dignified with the blessing of these two gods. He was like a Luohan descending and a Bodhisattva approaching the world.
"This I thank you for your kindness. " After some hesitation, Chen Xuanzang finally gave thanks to the cruel man.
In this way, Chen Xuanzang, wearing a brocade cassock and holding a nine ring tin rod, went all the way to the living Buddha assembly. The people along the way saw that the king of Tibet had come, and they all returned.
The cruel man followed with his two sisters.
Ziyan stares at Chen Xuanzang's back, looks left, and then looks back. Suddenly, she says, "Tang Dynasty, Chen Xuanzang, Tang Xuanzang, isn't this the journey to the West that my father told us?"
