Xuanzang's understanding of Tianzhu is actually very limited. Some were notes left by some senior monks who had been to Tianzhu, and some were news found by some monks, Hu Shang. These news were either outdated or many other factors were added intentionally or unintentionally, so they could only be used as reference. As for the real situation in Tianzhu, he dared not make up.

"This... I know a little about the situation in India, but it may be a little inaccurate. If you want to hear it, I can talk about it!" Li Xiu thought for a while before speaking. His understanding of ancient India was indeed limited. After all, Chinese people in later generations generally would not take India to heart.

"Your Majesty is so polite, please give me some advice!" Xuanzang heard that Li Xiu did know some news about India, which made him shocked, and he couldn't even feel the pain in his body.

"Although Buddhism originated in India, it has only been popular in India for a while. In India, it has always been a religion called Brahmin. This religion is very complicated and I don't know much. I only know that they seem to have three main gods who are in charge of three divine powers of creation, protection and destruction. In addition, they also divide people into four classes, among which Brahmins who hold the divine power, the highest of the Brahmins, the kings and warriors are Kshatriya, and they are in the second class, and both classes belong to the nobles..."

As Li Xiu said that, he introduced Brahmanism, which is the predecessor of Hinduism in later generations. However, all Li Xiu introduced Hinduism that he knew later generations, so it must be somewhat different from the more primitive Brahmanism, but it is generally consistent.

Xuanzang also listened very seriously and had heard of Brahmin teachings before. After all, many of the information he collected also included introductions from Brahmins, but Li Xiu said it in more detail, and he had never heard of some things. Especially when Li Xiu talked about the "untouchables" outside the four levels, that is, the so-called "bitters" class, he gained a better understanding of Tianzhu.

"The Brahmins still occupy a major religious position now. However, a few years ago, a young monarch appeared in northern India, called King Jie Ri. This person was unified in northern India. Although he was a Brahmin, he was very open to religion, especially with great support for Buddhism, which also allowed Buddhism to be revived in India. In recent years, many monks appeared in our Tang Dynasty, which is related to this!" Li Xiu continued to introduce.

"So that's it. Thank you for your conscience!" After hearing Li Xiu's introduction, Xuanzang thanked Li Xiu again.

"You have to be welcome. Master Xuanzang, you want to go to India. The journey is too far. I think you might as well prepare for a few years before making plans!" Li Xiu persuaded him again at this time. He admired Xuanzang very much. Moreover, with Xuanzang's wisdom, even if he did not go to India to seek scriptures, he would become a famous monk in the future.

"I appreciate the kindness of the prince-consort, but I am ready for this matter and everything will follow my plan!" Xuanzang first thanked him when he heard Li Xiu's persuasion, and then calmly spoke.

Hearing Xuanzang say this, Li Xiu couldn't help but shook his head helplessly. Xuanzang had already made a great wish to travel west to seek scriptures. Even Li Shimin could not let him turn back, let alone himself. Moreover, if Xuanzang changed his mind so easily, he might not be able to obtain the true scriptures.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu said nothing, and then said goodbye to Xuanzang and left. The clinic was located in Chang'an City and was very close to the imperial city. When Li Xiu pulled Xuanzang out of the imperial city, he immediately placed him in the clinic. Unexpectedly, he was unconscious for a day before he woke up.

In the next few days, Xuanzang was resting peacefully in the clinic. Li Xiu would come to visit him when he had free time, and talk to him about traveling west to seek scriptures. From Xuanzang's answer, Li Xiu found that traveling west had become an obsession in Xuanzang's heart. This was an opportunity and a dilemma for those who practiced. If you want to get rid of this obsession and seek a higher level, Xuanzang must complete this journey to traveling west to seek scriptures.

Ten days later, Xuanzang's health also recovered most of the time. On that day, Li Xiu did not visit him, but stayed at home to teach his mother and the others. Li Chengqian and Li Tai also came. However, just after noon, Li Xiu suddenly received a report from the servants, and Xuanzang actually came to visit him.

Hearing this news, Li Xiu hurried to the front hall, but only saw Xuanzang standing in the hall. When he saw Li Xiu hurriedly bowing to him, "I will meet the prince consort!"

"Your body has not fully recovered, why don't you take a few more days of rest?" Li Xiu said to Xuanzang with a smile, and asked him to sit down at the same time, and then a servant immediately served Qing tea.

"I am already in good health. I came here today to ask the prince-consort!" Xuanzang first politely politely, then directly explained his purpose. He looked open to anyone, and seemed to never tell lies or beat around the bush.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Li Xiu did not rush to agree when he heard this, but asked back. He was afraid that Xuanzang would ask him to help him get out of seclusion. Although he could indeed help in this matter, he did not want to help Xuanzang get out of seclusion. After all, this might anger Li Shimin and it was not in the interests of the Tang Dynasty.

"I want to see someone!" Xuanzang said again.

"Uh? If you want to see someone, you still want me to help me. Could it be that a high-ranking official?" Li Xiu asked again in surprise when he heard this.

"The prince consort misunderstood. This person is not a high-ranking official, but a prisoner at the rank!" Xuanzang said with a calm expression.

"Prison in the rank? Who is this person?" Li Xiu couldn't help but frown when he heard this. There are many types of prisoners in the rank. If he was a less important prisoner, it would be fine to take Xuanzang to meet him as a person.

"In fact, the prince consort has heard of this person, the one who presented the fake Buddha teeth to the prince." Xuanzang said solemnly at this time.

"You said that monk? I understand!" Li Xiu was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood that the monk who presented diamonds as Buddha's teeth to Li Shimin was a monk from the Lion Kingdom. The kingdom of Lion Kingdom was with India. Since he was a monk, he must have some understanding of the Buddhist situation in India. This is why Xuanzang wanted to see that monk.
