Chapter 4 third chapter

It was the spring of Tianbao's seventh year when Rongrui and Puzhao left Tong'an County (near Anqing, Anhui Province) where they had always lived, and went to Yangzhou to meet Jianzhen.In order to wait for the upsurge caused by the incident of Jianzhen's crossing of Japan to pass and the rumors to die down, the two Japanese monks have been sent away for three years by the Yangtze River, far away from the capital.Rongrui is almost fifty, and Puzhao is over forty-five. During the three years in Tong'an County, it was always a peaceful time in the Tang Dynasty, and nothing major happened. There were a few news about the barbarian bandits, which I only heard a few months after the incident.What attracted attention was the beauty Yang Taizhen who was canonized as a noble concubine at the age of thirty; then An Lushan, who was favored by Xuanzong, also served as the royal doctor; he also gave the world's annual tribute to the prime minister Li Linfu; the ministers were wronged and many died In the spring of the sixth year of Tianbao, before Rongrui and Puzhao returned to Yangzhou after a long absence, Wei Jian and Li Shizhi were ordered to die by two ministers.The world is generally peaceful, but chaos in the future is gradually brewing.

Rongrui and Puzhao went to the streets of Yangzhou where they had been away for a long time. When they heard that Jianzhen was in Chongfu Temple, they went to visit Chongfu Temple.When Jianzhen saw the two, he still said in the same peaceful tone as before: "It came very well. It has been three years since that time. This time, we will definitely be blessed by the Buddha and fulfill our wish for many years." At this time, Jianzhen was sixty-one, but his voice was loud and majestic, and in the eyes of the two Japanese monks, he looked younger. Rongrui and Puzhao stayed in Chongfu Temple, secretly planning to cross the sea, intending to make preparations before summer.Same as last time, build a ship in Xinhe, and collect roughly the same items as in Tianbao 2nd Year.

Ten days after Rongrui and Puzhao arrived in Yangzhou, the candidates for the trip were decided: Xiangyan, Shencang, Guangyan, Dawu, Daozu, Rugao, Deqing, Riwu, Situo, etc. There were 14 monks and laymen, 18 sailors, and 35 other applicants. Because of the lessons learned last time, everything had to be accelerated this time. At the end of May, the preparations were almost complete.Rong Rui told Puzhao that there was one more thing to do, which was to find Ye Xing and take part of his scriptures on board this time.He thinks that it is too dangerous to transport a large number of scriptures at once, and it is best to send them away in batches as soon as the opportunity arises.This time, if Karma agrees, he should take some of them back.Puzhao agreed with Rongrui's opinion, although he didn't know what Yexing himself meant, but he thought it was a smart way for the large number of scriptures to be transported by boat several times, just as Rongrui said.Now the industry is entrusted to the monastery for safekeeping, probably in order to prevent theft and fire, so it is divided into several batches and stored in several temples, not to mention traveling far across the sea. It's not going to be that way either.

In any case, the first problem is to find the kamma.After the conversation that day, Puzhao went to Chanzhi Temple immediately, but the whereabouts of Karma were still unknown.He deposited part of the scriptures here until this year, and disappeared for three full years.According to his usual behavior, it is completely impossible to guess where he is, maybe in Luoyang, maybe in Chang'an. Puzhao went to Chanzhi Temple to look for it once, but couldn't find it again, but a few days later, he heard from a monk in Daming Temple that a new Japanese monk had arrived at the Buddhist Temple in the suburbs.Puzhao speculated that the Japanese monk might be Karma, so he immediately went to inquire.

Nafan Temple is adjacent to Shanguang Temple in the outskirts. It is across a grand canal from Chanzhi Temple on the hill, and the two temples are on the side of the canal.There are many cemeteries around, as well as the white walls of the Earth Shrine. The people in the temple led the way, and walked into a room next to the main hall of the Fansi Temple. Puzhao saw it at first sight, the familiar back of Ye Xing, who was lying on the desk every time. Ye Xing turned around and looked up at the visitor.For a moment, Puzhao saw Ye Xing's face, as if his blood was rising, and he looked very strange.It turned out that his lips were covered with red and blue Yan Ke, and he was painting.

A large piece of paper was spread out on the table, on which was a painting of a meditating Guanyin image, with rough lines, as if drawn by a child, and some places had been painted with simple colors. "What are you drawing?" Instead of exchanging pleasantries after a long absence, Puzhao asked bluntly.Ye Xing did not answer directly, saying: "Recently, I'm taking a class on transcribing rituals." Looking at the small room, there are indeed many papers spread out, drawing various mandala and some details of mandala, the right hand of the Bodhisattva holding various utensils, the crown, the strangely shaped spoon-shaped altar, and other various objects. This kind of thing is painted naively and clumsily, and the colors are also very clumsy.

Ye Xing said that the scriptures he planned to transcribe have all been completed, and he does not know when the Tang boat will come next time. While waiting for the boat, he decided to transcribe rituals, and now he does this every day.Industry said: "This is a big project, and it can't be finished for a long time." The surroundings of the desk are more messy than ever before. There are scriptures and images, and broken drawings are scattered everywhere. While flipping through a copy written by Ye Xing titled "Birth Boundless Sutra II", Puzhao tried not to irritate the other party as much as possible, and explained the purpose of his visit.When Ye Xing heard that he was going to take part of the scriptures he had written on board, he was taken aback for a moment, and then said slowly:

"Yes, you are right. They should be taken away by boat in several batches. There is no reason for me to take them all by myself. As long as I can bring them to Japan safely, if you can definitely reach Japan, I will ask you to take them away." Bar." "It's hard to say whether it will definitely arrive, but if the ship encounters a disaster and the goods on the ship are to be thrown into the sea, I would rather use my own body to replace your scriptures. This can definitely be done." Puzhao said so, and he really thought so. Although he didn't know whether he could reach Japan safely, he was prepared to do so.He knew that this old Japanese monk whose lips were dyed red and blue could only rest assured after listening to him.

Three days later, Yexing transported the two wooden boxes containing some of the scriptures to Chongfu Temple by the people of Tang Dynasty. The two boxes were very heavy. That night, Rongrui, Puzhao, and Yexing had dinner together in a room in the monk's dormitory of Chongfu Temple.During the conversation, Xuan Lang was mentioned, but Ye Xing knew the news about Xuan Lang, although it was only a fragment. Last spring, when Yexing went to Chang'an, he met Xuan Lang, who had married a woman from Tang Dynasty and had a child.The place where they met was on the streets of Chang'an City, and the two stopped by the street and talked for a few words.I don't know where he lives and how he lives, but he is still wearing a monk's uniform, which shows that he has not yet left the monk's membership.All Ye Xing knew was this. If it was someone else, he would of course ask more questions from Xuan Lang, but this cannot be expected from Ye Xing.

That night, Ye Xing drank a little wine, blushed, and went back to Fansi because he still had to walk a mile and a half.Puzhao sent him to the gate, only to see that he looked like a crippled man with his weak back arched. At the beginning of June, after the preparations were completed, Rong Rui and Jianzhen discussed and decided to board the boat on the 27th. In order to prevent any rumors from being leaked, they decided to disperse on that day and each go to Xinhe to board the boat. In the middle of this month, there was a strong wind blowing in the south of the Yangtze River. After 20 days, it was sunny every day.On the day of boarding the boat, Jianzhen waited until evening, and brought Xiangyan and Situo out of Chongfu Temple.Rongrui and Puzhao left the temple ahead of time and met Jianzhen outside the south gate. The five walked along the city wall to the canal at the mouth of the Yangtze River, walked to the Sancha River, and hid among the reeds by the river. According to the scheduled time, we arrived at the boarding place not far away. At that time, there were more than 60 people on board.

The last time Tianbao sailed in the second year was a moonlit night, but this time it was a dark night.The boat was smaller than last time, less than half of the Tang ships sent to Tang Dynasty in Tianping five years ago, with only simple cabin roofs, not even house-shaped cabins.The people on board sat on the deck one after another. Sail from Xinhe to Guazhou Town, enter the Yangtze River, and go east to Langshan.A strong wind picked up and the boat circled back and forth between the three islands. After one night, the wind died down, and we went out of the river mouth to Santa Mountain, a small island belonging to Yuezhou. It feels like October. On the morning of the 16th, Jianzhen said: "I had a dream last night. I dreamed of three officials, one in scarlet clothes and two in green clothes. The three of them saw us off on the shore. Probably the Chinese gods came to bid us farewell. It seems that this time You will be able to cross the sea safely." At this time, Xiangyan and Puzhao had woken up and heard Jianzhen's words. Before long, the wind picked up again.Since entering this month, I have been encountering headwinds, but now the wind is blowing from the south.Yang Yan and Pu Zhao believed that the wind must have been sent by the Chinese god in the monk's dream. The boss of the boat decided to set sail.In the morning, the ship weighed anchor, left the coast of Shufeng Mountain where it had been staying for a month, and headed for Ding'an Mountain.Before noon, I saw the shadow of a small island in the southeast sea. Everyone thought it must be Ding'an Mountain, but at noon, the shadow of the island disappeared.At that time, everyone felt that they were out of the sea.In the evening, there was a strong wind again, and after a while, the waves rose high.The sea is like ink, terribly black.At night, the wind became stronger, and the waves tossed the boat, as if it fell from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley, and then was thrown from the bottom of the valley to the top of the mountain. The boat with more than 70 people on it was no more than a piece of wood. All the people on the boat recited the "Avalokitesvara Sutra" in unison, and in the ears of the people who recited the scriptures, mixed with the sound of wind and waves, they heard the boss of the boat shouting intermittently: "Look at this, the ship will sink. Throw all the cargo into the sea. Quick, quick!" It didn't count that the boss yelled, and immediately ran to the bottom of the mast to pick up the cargo loaded there.Several sailors ran to help him. Sitting next to the scripture box entrusted by Yexing, Puzhao made up his mind not to let it be thrown into the sea.There was a big stack of incense sticks on the box. The boss was about to throw the heaviest thing first, so he pushed Puzhao away to move the wooden box. The boat shook violently, and several sailors fell down. The boss picked up the incense basket and fell on Puzhao's body. He hugged the boss's thigh tightly, and the sea water rushed over his body like a waterfall.At this moment, in the pitch-black sky with the storm, a voice suddenly sounded like this: "Don't throw it!" The boss was taken aback, and put down the incense cage he was holding in his hand. "Don't throw it!" There was another yell, and the boss seemed to have been punched by someone, and he staggered and fell to the sky. "Don't throw it!" The boss was not the only one who heard this yell.Later, everyone talked about it, and both Sito and Rongrui said they heard the yelling. Although Xiangyan didn't hear it clearly, he did hear someone yelling.Puzhao was too nervous to remember what he heard. Until midnight, the wind and waves had not abated.Another strange thing happened that night. When everyone was struggling with the strong wind and the waves rushing into the boat, they suddenly heard the captain of the boat shouting loudly. "It's all right now. Behold, my fellows, a great god in armor and with a golden staff is standing under the bow-mast." Everyone looked down the bow-mast, and there was nothing but darkness there.But after listening to the call of the boss of the ship, everyone's fear was finally relieved a little. On the second day, the wind and waves subsided a little, but the boat was still swaying in the waves, and drifted forward aimlessly with the tide quickly.According to the sailors, it was drifting in the opposite direction from Japan.Now, no one cares about whether to go to Japan or not, as long as they can find land safely, they can go anywhere. third day.The boat drifted into the sea where the snakes were swimming. The largest snake was more than one foot long, and the small one was five feet long. The sea was full of snakes swimming around.Puzhao remembered that when he met Jierong in the Chanlin Temple, he heard that he had seen the Sea of ​​Snakes, but he never thought that he had been to such a place. Three days after crossing the Snake Sea, he entered the Flying Fish Sea.The silver fish jumped up from the surface of the sea, its white body shining, and there was a strange light in the sea and sky in front of the boat.The fish were all about a foot long, and they continued like this for three days.For the next five days, I saw flocks of big birds flying over the sea every day.Sometimes flocks of birds come to rest on the boat, and the weight of the birds almost sinks the boat.People went to chase it, but were pecked by it. In the next two days, strong winds came up again, and the boat swayed in the waves and continued to drift forward. Almost all the people on board were lying on the deck, unable to move. There is only one person, Puzhao, who is in good spirits. He distributes raw rice to the people on board every day.Sito lay on his back on the deck all day long, sometimes leaning over and writing what he thought of on the back of the scroll in fine characters.Rong Rui was most afraid of seasickness, so he lay motionless like a dead person.Due to seasickness and previous failures in crossing the sea, he was devastated and did not speak a word all day long.Puzhao has seen him like this many times. The most difficult thing is that there is no fresh water, chewing uncooked rice, dry throat, unable to swallow, unable to spit out, and stomach swollen after drinking sea water. Everyone said that they have never suffered such a crime. In this way, day by day passed, and then one day, when I saw a large goldfish that was ten feet long swimming in the sea, it was Yang who was the first to spot it.Several big goldfish have been following the boat and swimming beside the boat.On the second day after seeing the fish, the wind died down, and the shadow of the island was seen from a distance in front of the boat. When the weather was calm, Jianzhen got up and sat on the bow, facing the sea.Jianzhen got up together, and the other monks also got up and sat behind him.On Jianzhen's face looking at the horizon, Puzhao saw an expression that was still invincible.He remained the same as usual, except that he remained silent. Near noon, Rong Rui, who was sitting behind Jianzhen, suddenly said: "I had a dream just now. I dreamed that an official came and asked me to give him a precept. I said: My throat is so dry that it hurts. Give me some water. He immediately brought water, the color of which was like milk. It was very sweet in the mouth. I said: There are more than 70 people on board, and everyone is dying of thirst like me. Please give them some water. The official immediately called the old man Si Yu, It is most convenient for you to do this, and quickly give the water to the people on board. At this time, the dream woke up. It seems that it must rain." Everyone talked about Rong Rui's dream in detail. I don't know if it was because of Rong Rui's dream, but at around 3:00 p.m. the next day, a rain cloud appeared in the southwest sky, and it expanded to the sky above the boat after a while, and large raindrops fell.It rained for a short time, but it was a downpour.Everyone collected rainwater in bowls and had a good meal.The next day, it rained again and cured everyone's thirst. After another day, the boat approached an island, and four white fishes were swimming in front of the boat, as if guiding the boat, and the boat sailed into a harbor that could accommodate the boat. The people on the boat climbed the rock wall, went to the island to find water, crossed a hill covered with broad-leaved trees that had never been seen before, and there was a pond. Everyone drank as much as they could, and then filled the water with a dick and brought it back to the boat. . The boat temporarily anchored here for four or five days, and people went to the island to fetch water again, but the previous pond had disappeared.Everyone said that this must be the pond enlightened by the gods.Xiangyan and Sito seem to believe this statement a little bit.But Puzhao thinks that the pond is probably just accumulated rainwater, and the soil may be special, and it will be sucked up quickly. The season has already entered November, and November should be severe winter, but it doesn't look like winter at all.The trees on the island are full of unseen fruits, some are blooming, and bamboo shoots are growing on the ground, which is completely a summer scene. The boat docked on the island for 14 days before finding a coast where the boat could be moored. All the people on the boat landed and went separately to find the inhabited villages.Fortunately, I met four Tang people and told them that the natives here would eat human flesh, so it is better to leave as soon as possible. Everyone hurried back to the ship and drove the ship into a port that seemed safer.At night, some natives with knives came to the boat, frightened everyone, and gave them food, but the natives went back without saying a word.Suffering a panic, they drove the boat out of the port that night, drifted to the sea again, and headed towards the direction of Hainan Island that the Tang people had told them during the day.On the third day, I arrived at a river mouth in Zhenzhou, the southern tip of Hainan Island. On the second day after arriving in Hainan Island, the cargo was picked up, and the three bosses moved the business case to the sandy beach where the sun was strong.A boss is sitting on the box to drink water. In the afternoon, we were inspected by the local officials and spent the whole day on the sandy beach. At night, everyone went back to the boat and sent people to guard the goods on the sandy beach. Rongrui and Puzhao couldn't tell the geographical direction when they arrived here, and they didn't know where to go to Japan in the future. They only knew that they were now on an island further south than the southern tip of Datang Guangtu, and it was the southernmost river mouth on the island. Jianzhen was as calm and silent as every time he was in adversity.No expression or will can be seen from his face.Xiangyan and Situo also followed the example of their master and kept silent.When encountering setbacks several times in the past, Xiang Yan and Si Tuo always came to comfort the two Japanese monks, saying that they could still try again in the near future.Only this time is different.When Chi and the others arrived at an unexpected place, they didn't show any expressions, nor did they show a look of sadness and fear because of the setback of their plan, obviously because they didn't understand Jianzhen's heart and didn't dare to express their opinions casually. Except for the two of them, the other monks were obviously very unhappy with Rongrui and Puzhao, and it was obvious from their faces that they had to encounter this kind of near-death disaster several times just for these two Japanese monks. In the first two or three days after floating on the island, all the people showed laziness that they didn't want to do anything. On the fourth day, don't drive Feng Chongzhang to lead more than 400 soldiers from the state government, and take them to the city.They entered a city completely different from what they had seen before. All the shops, residences and government offices were built low and strong to protect against typhoons. The houses were surrounded by southern plants that they had never seen before. With dense broad leaves.The air is very dry, and people sweat all over in the sun, and it is very cool in the shade of the trees. In the stone-paved courtyard of the simple government office, Feng Chongzhang said that he had a dream last night, dreaming that a person who claimed to be his uncle in his previous life was reincarnated as a monk surnamed Tian Tian.Because of this dream, I thought that my uncle from my previous life had come to visit me, and asked if there was a surnamed Toyota among them.Xiangyan replied on behalf of Jianzhen that there is no monk named Toyota here. "Then, this great master is my uncle in the previous life, right?" Then, he invited them to live in the yamen and set up a Buddhist hall to support them. They stayed temporarily for three days, and held a Dharma meeting in the prefect's flower hall, asking Jianzhen to give precepts to the officials. Later, they were formally placed in Dayun Temple, and Jianzhen and other thirty people all entered that big temple.Everyone is used to the big temples on the mainland, and feel that the Jialan and the temple environment here are very poor, especially the Buddhist hall is very desolate, as if it will collapse soon. They welcomed Tianbao in the deserted temple for eight years.The weather has been dry and early, with a strong wind, the sand and dust from the sandy land outside the city fell like fog on this small town full of low-rise dwellings.Jianzhen and others urged the local migrant workers to start building the Buddhist temple.The project was carried out from winter to the dry spring, and the Buddha Hall was not completed.They took this opportunity to get up from here, and headed for Wan'an Prefecture in the southeast of the island in order to prepare to cross the sea and return to the original place.Don't drive Feng Chongzhang to personally lead the eight hundred armored soldiers and escort them all the way. When leaving, Jianzhen donated all the Buddhist objects, statues, and scriptures that he planned to take to Japan to Dayun Temple where he had stayed for four months.After discussing with Puzhao, Rongrui also presented the two boxes of scriptures that Yexing entrusted to the monastery.They considered that they would travel long distances in the future and could not take it with them. It would be a wise measure to give it to the temple. It is estimated that Karma will probably understand. After asking the local people to transport the two heavy wooden boxes to the newly built Buddhist temple, Rongrui took a rest under the shade of the trees several times on the way back to the lodging about half a mile away.Pu looked after Rongrui's health condition was very bad, and it would be difficult to support him in a long road like Wan'an Prefecture.In April in Zhenzhou, Rong Rui was very unaccustomed to living in the south, and Rong Rui's health became weaker.He couldn't eat, and he was much thinner.When Tianbao first planned to return to China in the first year, Puzhao, like Rong Rui now, had no confidence in losing his healthy body, so he gave up the plan to continue studying abroad. Instead it got better.On the contrary, Rong Rui, who was in good health at the time, often has a fever now. Not only Puzhao, but other people also felt that it took forty days to travel to Wan'an Prefecture, and Rong Rui must not be able to bear it.In the end, following Jianzhen's advice, Rong Rui took the sea route to Yazhou, where he boarded the boat, and Puzhao accompanied him. Rongrui and Puzhao, a few days after Jianzhen's departure, found a convenient boat and set off from Zhenzhou, via Wan'an Prefecture to Yazhou, which took forty days. Yazhou is the largest city in Hainan Island, where two Japanese monks came into contact with the long-lost city atmosphere.They stayed at the ancient Nanman Temple in the city, where they waited for Jianzhen to arrive. Rong Rui fell ill on the bed as soon as he arrived in Yazhou, and his body became thinner and weaker.Puzhao took care of him all day long, and whenever he had free time, he would go to the market.There are many shops on the street, selling rare fruits, such as Yizhizi, betel nut, lychee, longan, sugar cane, kulu, Loutou, etc. The big ones are as big as bowls or basins, and they all have juices sweeter than honey. There are also various bright colors that are close to the original colors. Jianzhen arrived in Yazhou half a month later than scheduled.They were grandly welcomed by Zhang Yun, the cruising ambassador of Yazhou, and lived in Kaiyuan Temple in the city.As soon as Puzhao heard the news, he took Rong Rui who was ill to join them at Kaiyuan Temple. After they arrived in Yazhou, they bid farewell to Feng Chongzhang who was escorting them.From Sito, Puzhao heard about Jianzhen and his party's journey after parting with him.More than 40 days after they set off from Zhenzhou, they arrived in Wan'an Prefecture. They saw the strange scenery, and were welcomed by Feng Ruofang, the head of the local natives, and were supported by him at his home for three days.They were shocked by Feng Ruofang's way of life.When this family receives guests, they all use nipple incense to light the lamps, which can cost more than 100 catties once they are burned.It was only later that I learned that Feng Ruofang's job was to rob Persian ships that passed by the nearby sea every year, seize property, and plunder people as slaves.In the backyard of his house, there were looted red, white, black, and purple sandalwood piled up like a mountain, and other belongings were also piled up inside and outside the house.He ordered the plundered slaves to live collectively in the land within three days north to south and four days east to west around his home, and there were all foreigners' villages there. When Puzhao was in Yazhou, he often went to the streets with Si Tuo.The customs of the residents on the street are strange.Men wear wooden hats, and women wear clothes like Japanese kimonos.Everyone has their teeth blackened, tattooed on their faces, and sucks water through their noses. In the outskirts, there are dantang incense forests, and the breeze blows, and the fragrance smells for five miles.In addition, there is also the Boronai Forest. Sito once recorded the Boronai Forest: "The fruit is as big as wax gourd, the tree is like pear, the leaves are like water onion, and the root tastes like persimmon." Farming here takes place in October and harvests rice in the first month. It is rich in silk. Silkworms are fed eight times a year and rice is harvested twice. During the stay, from the ambassador Zhang Yun down, the officials under his subordinates took turns to visit from time to time.Zhang Yun personally arranged the banquet, using Utanbo leaves as dishes, and Utanbozi as offerings to the monks.He explained to Jianzhen: "This is Youtan Bozi. This kind of tree only bears seeds but does not bloom. It is a very strange tree. It is also a strange karma that I can meet the great monk today." Situo sat next to the tree, drew a naked Utanbo tree, and explained it in words: "Its leaves are red, round, more than one foot in diameter, and the seeds are purple in color and sweet in taste." But on the third day of living in Kaiyuan Temple, a fire broke out in the street, and Kaiyuan Temple also suffered. All the people burned all their luggage. At the request of the ambassador, Jianzhen was in charge of rebuilding the Buddhist temple.Except for Rong Rui who was lying on the hospital bed, everyone else was busy with this business.They want to build Buddhist temples, lecture halls, pagodas and other gardens, but they encounter difficulties in purchasing wood. When Feng Chonggong heard that Jianzhen was building Kaiyuan Temple, he immediately sent a large number of slaves, each with a big tree on their shoulders, to Yazhou. Within three days, all the wood needed had arrived. The temple was completed ahead of schedule.Jianzhen built a statue of Sakyamuni with the remaining wood.After the completion of the new temple, Jianzhen went to the altar to give precepts and preached the law to save monks.Puzhao hadn't seen Jianzhen's solemn appearance for a long time, and couldn't help crying.The monk has not damaged his dignity in the slightest during his wandering life for many years.Wherever he went, the only thing he did was to build monasteries and give precepts to save people, just like a Buddha. That day, Rong Rui came to help the sick.After the conferring ceremony, when everyone walked out of the lecture hall, he said to Puzhao: "I came out of the lecture hall just now, and suddenly felt that I was in Nara Daiji Temple in Japan. Although the sky, trees, and soil are completely different in color, I don't know why, but I always think this is Nara." Later, he said excitedly, no matter what, Master must be invited to spend the day. When Rongrui and Puzhao first accepted the mission from Longzun to send Tang monks to Tang Dynasty, they talked together in the early spring sunshine in Xingfu Temple, and now Puzhao recalled the scene at that time.At that time, the two of them stood facing each other just like now, with the tall Rong Rui leaning over Puzhao and Puzhao looking up to Rongrui. He stared at Rong Rui's face and thin body for a long time, it was completely different from when he was in Xingfu Temple, but he still managed to maintain an arrogant and passionate spirit.He really wanted to express his thoughts, and to put it plainly, he was asking Jianzhen to be the preceptor's plan to go to Japan, so he probably had to stop here.The master is already too old, and Rong Rui's body is too weak to carry out this plan.Although Jianzhen did not reveal his intentions, he never talked about his plans to go to Japan.But one thing is clear, from his usual conversations, he has no intention of going back to his hometown of Yangzhou at all.When crossing the sea from here to Leizhou on the other side, of course he has to decide his future whereabouts. Perhaps his goal is to find a nearby seaport to Japan.Puzhao firmly believes that what Jianzhen and Rongrui need is to end their wandering life as soon as possible and be taken care of by the authorities. But he took his eyes away from Rong Rui's face, and finally restrained himself from expressing his thoughts.He knew that Rongrui didn't like to listen to what he said, and it would be a big blow to the patient to say so. A few days later, Jianzhen announced to leave Yazhou.Ambassador Zhang Yun said goodbye to the monks. When they set off for Chengmai County, he personally sent them out of the city and asked the county magistrate to send them to the boat. A group of people left Hainan Island, where they had lived for more than half a year since drifting to Zhenzhou, and crossed the sea to the north. After two days and three nights, the boat arrived in Leizhou.
