Tang Priest has studied Buddhism for more than ten years. Did Emperor Taizong send someone to look for him? Interested friends come and have a look.

When Tang Priest was leaving Chang 'an to go to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures, he asked Tang Priest how long it would take. The Tang Priest said that three years was enough, but he didn't expect to leave after fourteen years. Fourteen years later, he finally returned to Datang and saw Li Shimin again. This is eleven years more than the original plan of Tang Priest. Why isn't Li Shimin in a hurry? Didn't Li Shimin send someone to find the Tang Priest?

As we all know, Tang Sanzang's westward journey took place in the Tang Dynasty, when the monarch was Emperor Taizong Li Shimin. Why did the Tang priest suddenly send someone to Lingshan to learn from the scriptures when the Tang Dynasty was singing and dancing?

The main reason is that Tathagata thinks that the southern divination state is too heavy to kill, and intends to move eastward to Buddhism, but no one wants to believe in Buddhism. What should I do? So Yuan Shoucheng, a fortune teller, made a bet with King Jinghe. Sure enough, King Jinghe was really in trouble and was beheaded by Wei Zhi. Therefore, the Dragon King of Jinghe shouted loudly in Li Shimin's dream, demanding that Li Shimin make Wei Zhi king and spare the dragon king's life.

Unfortunately, Wei Zhi cut off the head of the Dragon King in his sleep. So King Jinghe became a ghost, harassing Li Shimin all day. From then on, Li Shimin's body seemed to be cut off, and it wasn't long before he pushed his leg into hell.

In hell, Li Shimin met the people he killed before he died, including his brother and father. These people who were massacred by Li Shimin saw that Li Shimin was going to cross the Naihe Bridge. They all put their hands into the water under the bridge and rushed to drag Li Shimin into the water. They just listened to people screaming and said clearly: Li Shimin is coming, Li Shimin is coming! Emperor Taizong was shocked when he heard the news. They saw a group of ghosts dragging their waists and crossing their arms, so they stopped them and shouted, Give me back my life, give me back my life! I was so scared that Taizong hid in Tibet. ...

Finally, after bargaining with hell, Li Shimin finally increased his life span by 20 years, and Li Shimin also promised that after his death, he would find someone to go to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures and return to the Tang Dynasty to hold an amphibious meeting, so there was a plan for Tang Priest to learn Buddhist scriptures from the Western Heaven.

When Tang Priest left, he made an agreement with Li Shimin for three years, but as soon as Tang Priest left, he disappeared for 5048 days, that is, fourteen years. /kloc-No news for 0/4 years. Why didn't Li Shimin send someone to look for it? You know that Tang Priest and Li Shimin are sworn brothers of Li Shimin. Such a brother said he would come back after three years, but fourteen years later, why didn't Li Shimin make any movement? Why is he not in a hurry?

He has booked a ticket with hell, and he must let people learn a lesson and then come back for a super grand land and water conference. Isn't he afraid to go mad again and report to hell?

In fact, Li Shimin is also a very smart person. After a three-day trip to hell, he understood the secret of the Buddhist scripture plan. He knew that the plan to learn the scriptures was secretly arranged by Tathagata and Guanyin, and King Jinghe was just a pawn.

Therefore, Li Shimin discovered the mystery. As long as the Tang Priest doesn't come back, he can continue to be the king of the Tang Dynasty. The later the Tang Priest comes back, the better it will be for Li Shimin, so how can the people of Li Can worry about Tang Priest? It is even more impossible to send someone to find the Tang Priest.

If something really happened to the Tang Priest and Guanyin, Li Shimin can say: I have sent your designated person to Lingshan to fetch Buddhist scriptures, but I don't know why I haven't come back for a long time. Finding another suitable scholar is a great event.

There is such a scene in The Journey to the West, which can be said to be the most touching scene in The Journey to the West. That is when Li Shimin sent the Tang Priest to learn from the scriptures.

Feng Xiaoxiao is in Chang 'an in the west, cool and rustling in the west, and Weishui in the west. He held Sanzang's hand tightly and said, "From the ground to the west, mountains and rivers flow forever." . When can I return it?

Sanzang calmly replied with a total distance of 108,000 Li: In three years, it will return to China.

Li Shimin knew that Tang Priest would encounter many temptations or opportunities when studying abroad, whether on the road or in heaven. Whether he can stick to his beliefs and come back after he arrives is a variable, because there are too many cases in which students studying abroad have not come back, and some even argue that the air abroad is sweet.

More importantly, the ancients had no telephone, no WeChat, and letters were inconvenient. Every time they leave, it may be the last time they meet.

Li Shimin has all kinds of disappointments. Tang Xuanzang was a rare monk in China in the Tang Dynasty, and they also hit it off. In order to express his inner feelings, Li Shimin gently grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground, put it in a cup, and personally held up a cup and handed it to Sanzang. Over time, the mountains are far away, and I can taste this wine: I would rather love a handful of soil in my hometown than two thousand daughters in my hometown. .

Tang priest became a monk when he was a child and never drank. But this time, he didn't and couldn't refuse. He just picked up the cup and gulped it down. This is a promise, an agreement, and a deep love for my hometown and the land where I was born and raised.

But to get to the point, what we want to ask today is why it took 14 years for the Tang Priest's Buddhist scriptures project to be completed in three years.

Master Guanyin, who can predict the future, also said the same thing. Before leaving, Guanyin told Jinding Daxian, who was in charge of welcoming Buddhist scriptures, that it would take about two or three years to learn Buddhist scriptures, which may be the reason. Guanyin said, that is to say, it takes about two or three years for people to learn from the scriptures. The dove of the Golden Crown Fairy was released. It was said that it arrived in two or three years, but it didn't arrive until fourteen years ago. This matter is now put aside and must be discredited.

Both Tang Priest and Guanyin thought that it would take three years to get the scriptures. Why did it take fourteen years?

Guanyin knows the past and the future, so why did he lie? According to imprecise reasoning, there may be the following reasons:

1. Guanyin, as the head of the Buddhist group, naturally has his own plans. To recruit a practitioner who is willing to complete the task of Buddhist scriptures, it is necessary to simplify the task. Otherwise, if you use 14 years directly, no one may go.

Just like Party A's outsourcing task, they clearly say that this project is simple and easy to operate, but they hide the deep pit in it to shorten the construction period and try to keep the price down.

Just like a leader sends a task, you tell it how difficult it is. All of a sudden, the players were scared, maybe because they didn't do well, and no one dared to answer. Most employees in the company tend to find a simple and meaningful job. If this is a long-term project, it is not easy to give yourself a name, and no one wants to jump into this pit.

Second, whether the learning project can be carried out smoothly needs the support of Li Shimin.

In order to get Li Shimin to support her research, Guanyin planned a complete story. First, let Li Shimin go to the Palace of Hades, and then give him a long life of twenty years. Let them build temples and let those souls cross through Buddhism. You need Mahayana Buddhism to cross the soul.

This is the story of Li Shimin's support for Tang Priest. If the news released by Guanyin takes 14 years, Li Shimin estimates that it will take 28 years to go back and forth. Can he still count on this day? In this case, Li Shimin will lose interest in the Buddhist scriptures project and may not support the Tang Priest to learn from the scriptures.

In fact, Guanyin doesn't want to finish the Buddhist sutra project so soon, because this is what he wants to explain to the Tathagata.

Tathagata repeatedly stressed not to despise scripture, because the longer you study, the more difficulties you encounter and the greater the price you pay. The more we can explain the importance of scripture from the side, the more we will cherish it. So Guanyin's final calculation is not difficult enough, and it must be difficult again. He threw the Tang Priest and his disciples into the Tongtian River.

Therefore, knowing the future Guanyin, it will take more than ten years to practice the scriptures, but it will still take two or three years.

But why did Tang Priest only evaluate it for three years? Why is there such a big gap between his prediction and reality?

Tang Priest was good at arithmetic since childhood, 108000 Li, 108000 km. The speed of a horse is/kloc-0.00 km per day, and it can walk 36,500 km a year. It only took him three years to go back and forth, and he didn't have a calculator. He worked out the result by heart.

But it was innocence, not shoes, that defeated him. He never thought:

First of all, when you pass through any country on the road, you need to stamp for customs clearance. Every time I go to the leaders to stamp, they are not there! Because it takes too much time to stamp.

The bag came back without a stamp and turned into a tiger, because he couldn't prove that he wasn't a tiger without an ID card.

Second, the obstruction of Taoist hostile forces. Tang Priest, as a Taoist priest, was unwilling to learn from Buddhist scriptures. They strongly opposed and stopped it, so many Taoist priests came out to stop it, and even tried to kill Tang Priest.

Tang Priest didn't expect the enemy's strength to be so strong that when Sun Wu became the one-horned king, even many reinforcements couldn't move. It took a long time for Taoist forces to stop it.

Third, uncooperative Buddhist colleagues. Tang Priest never imagined that his colleagues would come out and openly stop him. For example, the monster of Huangmei pretended to be a Buddha and stopped the Tang Priest's team in Xiaoleiyin Temple. He even said that he would go to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures himself, and Tang Priest could not escape if he was caught.

It was not until Maitreya saw that Sun Wu was no match for Johnson Huangmei that he breathed a sigh of relief and came out to save the land with a smile. Because Maitreya, as the future Buddha, is waiting to take over, but Tang Priest's power and status are getting higher and higher, and it is normal for colleagues to stop him.

Fourth, unknown monsters and events, plans can't keep up with changes. When evaluating the time, Tang Yan did not consider that unknown events might delay the learning process.

The appearance of some unknown monsters, such as Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon and Shu Jing, delayed the progress of Tang Priest. In this girl country, it takes a lot of time to appreciate national treasures!

Therefore, Tang Priest estimated the wrong time and actually went to school 14 years. But he went through all the hardships and persevered, and finally made a positive result.
