Outside the Jinluan hall, eminent monks from different parts of the Tang Dynasty were dressed in cassock and arranged in order. The guards around them were armed and looked at them with solemnity.

Xuanzang was standing in the middle of the group of eminent monks. Looking at the monkey king and Guanyin standing above, he felt a little nervous.

Although he had a secret communication with Sun Wukong before, they had made a secret decision.

But with such a variable as Guanyin, he can not guarantee that he will be selected by Guanyin.

As for the other eminent monks, when they saw the appearance of Guanyin, their faces showed a color of excitement. They did not know what happened this time. They just heard that the king of Tang called on eminent monks from all over the country to gather in Chang'an for the Bodhisattva Guanyin to select the scripture readers.

They don't know why they want to go to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures, what dangers they will encounter on the way, and what benefits they will have after completing the journey.

Not many. For them, it is a very lucky thing for them to see Guanyin, one of the great powers of Buddhism. Even if they are not selected as the scripture reader, they will not be too sorry.

Guanyin takes out the willow branch from the jade liquid bottle and flicks it gently. A few drops of Yang Zhi manna are thrown out by her, turning into rain on all the eminent monks.

A group of eminent monks only felt refreshed, and all the dark wounds healed.

"Thank you, Bodhisattva Qi Qichong, one of the eminent monks, bowed to Guanyin and said excitedly.

"All of you are our disciples of Buddhism. You have a firm mind of Zen. You can do well in Buddhism. You are worthy of the blessing of your father," Guan Yin nodded to a group of eminent monks with a smile and said in a deep voice, "I think you all know why you are invited to gather in Chang'an

"Tell the Bodhisattva, I don't know about one thing," said Guan Shiyin, and Xuanzang suddenly said, "I don't know why the Bodhisattva chose this Buddhist monk to go to the Western Heaven for Buddhist scriptures

After hearing the speech, Guan Shiyin took a deep look at Xuanzang, and then explained: "it is not easy for the Buddha to pity all living beings. He wants to pass on Mahayana Buddhism to help all living beings.

However, the Dharma can be passed on, but it can't be lightly obtained. Therefore, it needs a person with a strong Zen Mind to start from the eastern land of the Tang Dynasty, go through mountains and rivers, go through difficulties and dangers, and arrive at the Dalaiyin temple before passing down the Mahayana Buddhism. "

"Thank you, Bodhisattva," Xuanzang said in a deep voice.

In fact, as Li Shimin's righteous younger brother, he had known the relevant information through secret channels for a long time. Now he suddenly asked questions, but he just wanted to take this opportunity to attract the attention of Guanyin.

After all, according to the current situation, as long as he can let Guan Shiyin choose him as the Buddhist Scripture reader, no one can shake his identity.

"I don't know how the Bodhisattva would choose the person to get scriptures?" After pondering for a while, Xuanzang asked GuanShiYin again.

"Simple, my grandson can see it well," said Sun Wukong, without waiting for Avalokitesvara to speak.

"I don't know if the elder is?" Xuanzang looked at the monkey king and said with a puzzled face.

Naturally, he knew the identity of the monkey king, but Xuanzang was a wise man. Naturally he knew what could be exposed and what could not be exposed.

"My old sun is the monkey king in the water curtain cave of Huaguo Mountain, which caused a great disturbance to the heavenly palace five hundred years ago."

On hearing this, Sun Wukong said proudly: "at the same time, my old sun is also the main force responsible for protecting the pilgrims to the West! Therefore, there is only one criterion for selecting people to learn from the classics. That is, my old sun can see you well. Otherwise, my old sun knows you, but the golden cudgel in his hand can't recognize you! "
