Chapter 3 Tang Palace Night Banquet, Seeing Off at Dawn
A large amount of pure spiritual energy was poured into him, and most of the spiritual energy was used to transform his mortal body, directly stepping into the threshold of cultivation. The remaining small amount of spiritual energy promoted his cultivation soaring, and his physical strength also continued to increase under the erosion of spiritual energy.
, finally stopped at the realm of spiritual training and return to the void, and the physical body also entered the realm of bone training. The muscles and bones are shining brightly, and the physical body can resist ordinary iron without being damaged.
The feeling of being reborn was intoxicating. Tang Sen was immersed in the soaring cultivation level and the praise of everyone, and could not come back to his senses for a long time.
Everyone also discovered that Master Tripitaka had an aura of spiritual purity in him, and they became more and more convinced.
"My dear brother, I have made a great wish, and I will hold a banquet in the palace tonight to fulfill it for you."
Li Shimin dragged the stunned Tang Sen back to the palace.
…
Tang Dynasty Palace.
"Come, prepare a vegetarian banquet. I will practice it for my imperial brother tonight." As soon as Li Shimin returned to the palace, he called the imperial kitchen to prepare the dishes.
"No no no..."
"Why are you so polite with me, my brother? This is a family dinner, and I will do it for you, my brother." Seeing that Tang Sen was about to refuse, Li Shimin quickly interrupted.
"No no no..."
"My dear brother, if you continue to be so polite, I will not be happy." After being rejected again and again, Li Shimin's face became a little uneasy, and there was a hint of anger in his tone.
"No, no, no, no party!"
"I was walking in a hurry just now, and I couldn't breathe for a while. I don't like vegetarian banquets, please don't misunderstand me, brother."
"It would be best to have a banquet with both Manchu and Han Chinese." Tang Sen said with some expectation.
I have never had a Manchu-Han banquet, but I have the opportunity in this life!
Li Shimin:???Is this a monk?
"Yu Di is really different from ordinary people. He doesn't stick to trivial matters. Okay, let's have a Manchu-Han banquet tonight!" After being slightly shocked, Li Shimin quickly realized it. He was originally worried about how he would be able to eat since Yu Di was a vegetarian tonight. Now he's fine.
He happily ordered his servants to prepare the dishes.
"After the wine and meat passed through my intestines, I stayed in the heart of the Buddha. I have a firm heart towards the Buddha, so I can ignore these common precepts, Amitabha." Tang Sen made a Buddhist ritual with his hands and explained.
"Oh? My dear brother, you still love wine? That's great. We won't come home until we get drunk tonight." Li Shimin was extremely happy. He felt so cold in his high position. Now that he has reached his current position, none of his former friends and brothers can be the same as him.
I drank happily without any hesitation, and I was in a great mood for a while.
Drinking? None of the brothers in my previous life could drink better than me? What’s more, you don’t drink often. This is just an ancient low-alcohol wine. If I don’t drink you down tonight, your drinking capacity will be in vain.
Tang Sen smiled secretly.
"How can a good wine and banquet be complete without singing and dancing to add to the fun? Why don't the emperor arrange singing and dancing to make it all elegant and enjoyable?"
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, "My dear brother, a monk, also likes to sing and dance? Aren't you afraid that the Buddha will blame you?"
"It's good, it's good, the scripture says: the beauty of adulthood. The palace concubine is happy, the majesty is happy, the younger brother is happy, everyone is happy. This is the maximization of human happiness, what's wrong with it?" Tang Sen said without changing his expression.
Li Shimin laughed after hearing this.
"Hahaha, it's true, my good brother is also a man of temperament. It's my fault that I didn't consider it well." He ordered the palace servants to summon the song and dance.
For a while, there were orchestral music and music in the palace, long sleeves were flying, and the beauty was beside them. The two people were enjoying the singing and dancing, talking and laughing, and sometimes laughing and raising glasses. They were so happy.
Soon, the banquet was prepared, and the Manchu and Han Dynasties came to the banquet one after another. The table was full of delicacies, and the fragrance of fine wine and jade liquid floated.
"Come on, come on, my dear brother, take a seat." Emperor Tang's face was full of joy, and he pulled Tang Sen to sit down.
"Stop, who can eat such a small amount? Let others know that I, Tang Dynasty, can't afford it. According to this standard, another hundred portions! It's the same hundred portions!" Tang Sen frowned and called to the palace who was passing the food.
people.
The palace servants were trembling with fear and quickly looked at Li Shimin asking for instructions.
"Follow your brother's instructions and go down." Li Shimin dismissed the servants. It was just a few meals, but it was not something he couldn't afford.
"Brother, you don't know, brother, I am suffering! I think of the Western Heaven, thousands of miles away, sleeping in the wind and the open air all the way, eating one meal without finishing the next, and there are monsters peeking at me, and my life will be lost if I am not careful.
, but for the sake of the people of the Tang Dynasty and the common people, the poor monk has no obligation to refuse, even if it means losing his life." Tang Sen cried with a miserable look on his face.
Just kidding, I had to sleep in the open air all the way to the West. I was precarious, so I was kneeling down to beg for food.
I, the imperial brother of the Tang Dynasty and the second-in-command of Xitian Lingshan, can I accept this grievance? Today, I, Tang Sen, will stand up and make money. I will prepare a hundred tables of Manchu and Han banquets to eat on the road. It is very reasonable.
"Brother, great virtue, come here, come here, drink this cup to the full." For a while, singing and dancing started again, dancing sleeves were dancing, people were drinking wine, talking and laughing, it was a happy scene.
…
Chang'an Ancient Road
"Brother, the emperor stayed behind and sent people thousands of miles away, and finally said goodbye. I must retrieve the true scriptures as soon as possible to help the common people, and bless my king's kingdom to be eternal and prosperous for eternity." Tang Sen was saying his final farewell to the Emperor of Tang, and behind him
The two attendants, one carrying a load and the other holding a horse, were waiting in the distance.
"Imperial Brother, we are going to the West. It is a long journey and demons are rampant. You must be extremely careful and come back soon. Brother Emperor is waiting for you in Chang'an City every day and thinking of you." Li Shimin took Tang Sen's hand with both hands and said
The face is reluctant to give up, and the instructions are diligent.
"Brother, I don't have anything to give you. This purple gold alms bowl can be used for cooking on the way. On the westward journey, I passed through countless countries. This customs clearance document may be of some use." The attendant next to him presented two things on a wooden tray.
Tang Sen took it. The purple gold alms bowl was exquisitely made, extraordinary in temperament, simple and grand.
To be honest, using this to beg for alms is a bit insulting. What is the difference between this and begging for food with a golden bowl?
Isn’t this bullying an honest person?
Fortunately, Zijin is rare and not many people know it.
The customs clearance document is a small booklet. When you open the title page, it clearly says: "Either let him pass or I will come over - Tang Emperor Li Shimin left". The second page has been stamped with the imperial seal of the Tang Dynasty.
.
Tang Sen raised his head and glanced at Li Shimin in surprise. His cheap brother was quite domineering, but he didn't notice it.
Seeing Tang Huang take two glasses of wine, pick up a handful of soil from the ground and flick it into the glass, Tang Sen's face turned full of helplessness, he glanced at Li Shimin with a headache and winked wildly.
Isn't it, brother, you still drink? You stopped drinking last night, and you haven't recovered yet. If you drink again now, will you be able to go to the West?
Thinking of last night, Tang Sen looked frightened and misjudged the man's drinking capacity. The two started drinking and fought for half the night, and finally fell unconscious.
When he was woken up by the palace maid in the soft Simmons bed in the morning, Tang Sen was still confused. He quickly checked his clothes, and after feeling that there was no discomfort in a certain part, he breathed a sigh of relief. He almost lost his life!
The two of them were dragging their feet. It was almost noon and they hadn't even started walking yet. Tang Sen was feeling tired!
Fortunately, there was something to gain. Looking at the one hundred tables of Manchus and Han banquets in the portable space, as well as countless imperial wines, Tang Sen felt better. After being drunk, Li Shimin responded to every request and was so generous that he almost gave him the wine cellar.
Move out!
"As a brother, I can't help it. Everyone is watching. You have to drink this glass of wine. This is the sense of ceremony!"
Li Shimin secretly indicated with his eyes.
Tang Sen was helpless and nodded slightly.
Drink, drink, and leave as soon as you finish.
"My dear brother, I have been away for a long time, and the mountains are far away and the roads are far away. I would rather love my hometown for a piece of soil than a thousand taels of gold for a foreign land." The scene continued, Li Shimin took Tang Sen's hand and said affectionately.
With his acting skills, Tang Sen would have thought there was something shady even if he didn't win the statuette! He quickly took it and drank it down in one gulp.
"Your Majesty, take care, I'm leaving now." After saying that, he quickly got on his horse and told the two attendants to leave quickly. It would be dark if he didn't leave!
Finally free, my lovely apprentices, your dear master is here!
It seems that there are many beautiful female monsters on the journey to the west, hehehe...
This journey to the west is much more exciting than the 996 blessing life in the previous life. It is rare that God will show mercy and be reborn on the journey to the west. A man should stand upright with his sword pointed at the peak! Isn’t it a pity not to enjoy this colorful world? You must wake up in this life.
The power of the world is lying drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman!
