Most people think that Xuanzang is playing tricks, but they can't argue that the other party is pretending to be crazy and stupid, which is really despicable, and a small number of people heard Xuanzang's words and thought it was possible, but it was incredible.

At this time, Lingzhen, who was sitting still on the opposite side, shouted, as if a bronze bell rang in Xuanzang's heart, making his body tremble, and then Lingzhen recited a scripture, listening to the ears of everyone around him and not realizing anything, but listening to the ears of a group of monks on the opposite side is as wonderful and natural as the sound of the Buddha's land.

Xuanzang was appeased by Lingzhen's hand, this is the authentic lion roar of Buddhism, touching people's hearts and minds have the effect of eliminating demons, and later a Zen sound is the secret Tianlong Zen chanting of Buddhism, and it cannot be made without a certain amount of Buddhist cultivation.

After the Zen sound gradually subsided, Lingzhen said to the calm Xuanzang: "Buddhism is of the same origin, your lifelong practice of Buddhism is nothing more than wanting to pursue the realm of the Buddha, and now the details of Buddhism have been told, but you refuse to admit it because of the demons in your heart, in the end are you practicing Buddhism, or are you strengthening your demons for your own temporary greed?" Don't you know how to wake up at this time? ”

Everyone heard it in the clouds, but Xuanzang was like an initiation, and suddenly woke up, his worship of the Buddha and the scriptures is nothing more than because the Hinayana Buddhism of the Tang Dynasty cannot be his own thoughts, can not go further, can not progress, can not pursue the avenue, now the avenue is in front of him, but what are you doing?

What is it that went to Tianzhu to pursue? It turns out that the answer you want to find is around you, so why should you give up your heart because of a trace of obsession? Even if the previous ten years of travel are invalid? As the old saying goes: When you hear the Tao, you can die at night!

Xuanzang, who had figured out everything, no longer had his previous hideous appearance, and even had a trace of a well-informed monk's bearing, got up and walked forward, and made a Buddhist bow to the Lingzhen Five Bodies.

"Xuanzang thank you Master for your guidance, if not, the little monk will definitely fall into the devil's path and can't extricate himself, the past is the fault of the little monk, the little monk is willing to take all the responsibility, just follow the master to practice Buddhism and pursue the avenue."

Lingzhen has his heart, and he can naturally tell whether Xuanzang is sincere at this time, but he doesn't seem to be authorized to accept this person, after all, he has a big case, so he turned his head to look at Master Bai Fan.

Du Ruhui in the stands sneered, and said in his heart This monk has good eyesight and good intentions, since he has confessed to the law, then the national law will naturally not allow you to live, at this time it is useless to get rid of his guilt, but he is clever, and hurriedly found a good backer for himself, if Lingzhen agrees to come down, wouldn't there be Lantian Hou to keep you from dying? Being able to continue to practice the Dharma scriptures is a reward.

Bai Fan stood up at this time and said: "You still have mundane things in the world, and you have not escaped the responsibility for helping the Tianzhu Navy, and I can't accept a person with six impure roots, so I need you to first talk to the court and then come to seek the Dharma Dao." ”

At this time, as if it had been discussed in advance, Li Er stood up and stopped Hou Junji, who was about to have a seizure, and said loudly to Xuanzang: "It is a capital crime for you to attack the Tang Dynasty, but you have already repented and authorized you to wear the crime and make meritorious contributions, and now there are many enemies in the west of the imperial court, and it is the time to employ people, so in the future, you will be allowed to make contributions to the Tang Dynasty against the enemy in the west, and the day of success is the day you get rid of the crime." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the little monk is willing to confess his guilt and make meritorious contributions, in the past, he did not know the truth and went away to seek the Dharma, but now that he knows that the origin of Buddhism is in the ancestral land of the Central Plains, he will naturally not miss the opportunity to seek the near and far."

At this time, many old monks were puzzled, why could it be that this kid was right, Buddha is the Tao? Did Buddhism originate in Middle-earth Taoism? Then we have all gone to the Tao, why should we go to ordination and take the vows?

Bai Fan then explained to everyone in the audience: "In fact, Buddhism and Taoism have the same origin, they are all cultivation methods to pursue the truth of the world, there are three thousand avenues, whether it is cultivating Buddha or cultivating the Tao, as long as you are sincere and sincere, you will eventually get something, and there is no difference between superior and inferior."

The Tang Dynasty set the law that monks are not allowed to practice Buddhism before the age of fifty, just because the practice of Buddhism requires six purifications, and those who practice Buddhism pay attention to reporting the four graces: the kindness of parents, the grace of the land, the grace of the guru, and the kindness of all beings.

Therefore, it is not that the law is harsh on Buddhism, but that it is to adapt to the Dharma, so that many people do evil and evade things in the name of the Dharma, which is to discredit the Buddha and flout the national law. ”

When everyone heard Bai Fan's explanation, they nodded and praised, it is indeed this truth, the monks pay attention to breaking off their love and leaving their parents, wives and children behind, which is contrary to human morality, but after the age of fifty, the parents are not there, and the children and grandchildren are adults, it can be said that there is no concern, and if you are willing to become a monk, you can become a monk.

The focus is to uncover a period of Buddhism and Taoism, and also give the world one more opportunity to know Buddhism.

Xuanzang and other old monks are also very grateful, it turned out that the Buddhism was narrow-minded before, thinking that Bai Fan destroyed the Buddha for the sake of the Daomen, but I didn't expect that although this person is a person from the Daomen, he is different from others, he does not destroy the Buddha, and he can be inclusive, before sweeping the world's Buddhist temples, on the other hand, it is possible to break and stand up, clean up the tumor for the Buddhism, after all, the Buddhism that has experienced the troubled times is too mixed.

After the fight, Xuanzang was summoned by Li Er to the palace to discuss the political hall, and it was difficult to say anything in front of outsiders, but at this time, the two monarchs and ministers, Li Er laid out the carriage and horses, and said that he had taken a fancy to Xuanzang's westward journey to the Western Regions and Tianzhu for more than ten years, and he was very familiar with the paths and humanities along the way, and he was an excellent marching leader.

If he is willing to lead the way for the Tang army in the future, then he can make meritorious contributions, if he is unwilling, he still stands on the side of Tianzhu, then I'm sorry, the national law is ruthless and he still has to kill.

Xuanzang originally wanted to persuade Li Er to put down the butcher's knife with good thoughts, but Li Er has not been in vain over the years, and he has studied the vision of unification of the war that he has been thinking about for many years, saying that he just wants to eliminate the border barrier, so as to follow the example of the first emperor to unify the world and eliminate the war, which is a great good act.

It is also said that after unification, Tianzhu Buddhism can also accept the Tang Dynasty Buddhism culture, which is also beneficial to them, at least they don't have to be complacent, among which Master Xuanzang should be the best candidate for Buddhism to pass on Tianzhu again.

After coming and going, Xuanzang was really a little moved, and immediately agreed to be willing to support the military operations of the Tang Dynasty, but asked His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to make less murder when he fought in the future.

How can Li Er disagree, the Tang Dynasty is going to unify the territory instead of burning, killing and looting, these years have long had established experience, except for the nobles in power, the people are all appeased and preferential, so they are all happy.

Maybe Xuanzang didn't realize that in the end, this result was very different from what he deduced in prison or in the palace of the King of the Ring of the Sun, and even went in the opposite direction, and he made up his mind to feed the demon for the sake of Buddhism, but in the end he was told that the devil was the origin of Buddhism, overthrew all his values, and then made him the forerunner of the westward journey to destroy Tianzhu, this kind of thing must be a vicious punishment that is worse than death for Xuanzang before, that is, the punishment that Bai Fan said is more terrible than killing.
