"What do you mean to live with me for the rest of your life? It's as if this Lin Xian'er has some unusual relationship with me. Li Xian listened to what Dou Xiantong said and felt full of grievances, but now that the situation is forced and there is a request for others, he naturally does not dare to say this sentence, so he has to endure his grievances and agree to the other party's request.

Without further ado, that night, Dou Xiantong disguised himself as an ordinary guard, and disguised Lin Xian'er as a little eunuch.

After the disguise ended, the two sisters followed Li Xian through the secret passage and quietly entered Li Xian's palace, and in this way, they quietly sneaked into Li Xian's side under Lin Cheng's nose.

Early the next morning, Li Xian took the edict of the holy mountain and led a large group of people to the Shaolin Temple.

In the first month of this year, Gaozong and Empress Wu have once again toured the eastern capital, so at this time Li Xian is living in Luoyang with the holy car, even if it is a general tour, it is only two days away from Shaolin Temple, not to mention that Li Xian's brigade is all strong knights, only on the same day, that is, before dark on the fourth day of the first month of February, they rushed to Shaolin Temple.

Master Zhishan, the abbot of Shaolin who received the news in advance, was naturally waiting for Li Xian's master outside the mountain gate for a long time, and the two sides first had a simple politeness, and then came to the abbot's room under the personal guidance of Master Zhishan.

Li Xian first read out the edict of the Holy Lord, and then greeted Master Xuanzang officially, expressed a few words of friendship between master and apprentice, and then was led to a courtyard in the guest room to rest.

Lin Cheng, as the military commander of this team, came by the secret order of the Empress Wu, so he could not leave Li Xian, even if Li Xian went to the toilet, he had to accompany him to go in, nominally for Li Xian's safety, but everyone understood the meaning.

However, Li Xian did not refuse the other party's "kindness", but just smiled and said to the other party that he had worked hard, and then went into his bedroom.

As for the place where Li Xian rested, even if Lin Cheng had the courage, he didn't dare to break in at will, so he had to wait outside the courtyard gate, but he had already arranged his henchmen in the front and back of the courtyard, and he was confident that Li Xian would not be able to fly out of his surveillance even if he had wings.

However, Lin Cheng still didn't dare to take it lightly, he didn't care about his tiredness, he didn't go to rest, and stayed outside the door of Li Xian's courtyard overnight, if someone who didn't know saw it, he really thought how loyal this person was to Li Xian.

At night, Lin Cheng was on duty in front of Li Xian's door, and suddenly saw the door opened, and the little eunuch who had been following Li Xian gently walked out, smiled politely at him, and then prepared to leave.

"I don't know what's going on when I go out at night?" For such a small eunuch, Lin Cheng didn't intend to let it go, and hurriedly asked.

I saw that the little eunuch pointed to a shabby piece of clothing in his hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "The king's robe was torn when he went up the mountain, and the miscellaneous family borrowed some needles and threads from the great monk to sew them for the king." ”

Lin Cheng took the clothes, which seemed casual, but in fact, he touched them carefully, and found that there was no entrainment in the clothes, so he handed the clothes back to the little eunuch, and then nodded and said: "The wind is strong at night, go and return quickly." ”

"No." I saw the little eunuch take the clothes, salute Lin Cheng, and then run away.

Lin Cheng looked at the little eunuch who ran away, felt that the back was a little familiar, and had some doubts in his heart, so he looked inside from outside the door of Li Xian's room, and saw Li Xian sitting on the desk reading a book, so his doubts disappeared and he continued to retreat to the gate of the courtyard to be on duty.

In fact, where did Lin Cheng know? The one who is reading in Li Xian's bedroom now is actually not Li Xian, but the little eunuch who was transfigured, and the one who went out from under his nose before was the real Li Xian.

said that Li Xian got out of the courtyard and came to Xuanzang's door in a puff of smoke.

At this time, because Xuanzang was seriously ill, the disciples were all guarding around the main hall, and Li Xian was not able to restrain his breath, so he was stopped as soon as he approached.

"Stop. Who are you? Wandering around in the middle of the night, do you know where this is? Outside Xuanzang's door, the two Shaolin monks on duty saw Li Xian, who was dressed as a little eunuch, suddenly break in, and shouted in unison.

Seeing this, Li Xian smiled faintly, took out a jade talisman from his sleeve, and shook it at the two warrior monks, who suddenly changed their complexions, and respectfully retreated to the side, not daring to stop them anymore.

Li Xian saw that the warrior monk knew the jade talisman given by his master Zhikong, and thought that he had saved himself some effort, so he carefully put away the jade talisman, and then rushed to the room. But unexpectedly, at this moment, a little novice suddenly ran out and was about to hit him.

Li Xian smiled faintly, and with a twist of his body somehow, he actually dodged the little novice, and broke into the room through the gap.

"Haha, I haven't seen you for a while, how did it become like this?" That little novice is naturally Li Xian's second junior brother Wu Neng.

"Alas, it wasn't like this, but wasn't it forced? Surrounded by wolves, had to however. Li Xian spread out his hands and said helplessly.

"This guy of yours has actually practiced the eaves and wall walking method to perfection, one step faster than me, and he really deserves to be so recommended by the master." Na Wu Neng looked at Li Xian with a smile on his face, squeezed his eyes at him, and extended a thumbs up.

"Hehe, you are not ambiguous, you were slower than me before, but now you are about to catch up with me, there is no worldly distraction, the speed of practice is fast, the so-called diligence can make up for clumsiness." Li Xian looked at Wu Neng and sighed softly.

"This guy will hurt people when he comes up, what does it mean that diligence can make up for his clumsiness? Does that mean I'm 'clumsy'? I saw that Wu Neng gestured his hands and hummed softly: "If it weren't for Master Xuanzang's face, I would have to teach you a good lesson today." ”

"Hehe, just fight, who is afraid that you won't succeed?" Li Xian waved his fist defiantly, looking eager to try.

Of course, although these two people looked like they were about to break out, they both knew the seriousness of the matter, so they just talked about it, and then lightly pointed to the inner room and motioned for him to go in and meet Xuanzang.

Li Xian walked into the inner room, but found that there were only his master and apprentice here, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but then he knew the intention of his master Xuanzang, tonight may be the last time their master and apprentice will meet, so this time we must talk about the things that should be talked about clearly, otherwise there will be no intimate cooperation between Li Xian and Buddhism in the future.

"Wukong, you are here." Although Xuanzang was seriously ill, he was still very energetic, and when he saw Li Xian coming in, he tried his best to squeeze out a smile on his face and greeted Li Xian, but this time Xuanzang did not directly call Li Xian's common name, but called him by his law name, and it was obvious that he had officially regarded him as his disciple.

"The master has been seriously ill for a long time, but the disciple knows nothing, and he is really ashamed to be a disciple." Although Li Xian saw Xuanzang before dark, and said something, he could not really express his emotions unscrupulously until now, looking at the skinny Xuanzang, he suddenly felt sad, and kowtowed in tears.

But seeing that Xuanzang's spirit was still full, he said with a smile: "Idiot, my Buddhist disciples are used to seeing the impermanence of life and death, and all laws are empty, and this skin is even more deserving, what is there to be sad about?" ”

Although Li Xian understood that the master was reminding himself not to be emotional in the future, and to be calm in case of trouble, he still said: "The disciple has a heavy karma, and his cultivation is shallow, and it is difficult to give up ordinary emotions, so the appearance makes the master smile." ”

But I saw Xuanzang smile faintly, and then said: "How can you say something like laughter?" In fact, as a teacher, I do have a lot to say to you today, but I don't know how you can escape the surveillance, and today I am very relieved to see that you have successfully got rid of it, and your wisdom is especially above my expectations. However, the teacher is now sick and difficult to cure, and the day after tomorrow he should say goodbye to all sentient beings and go to Elysium, but there are some things that are difficult to rest assured, and he is hereby exempted. ”

"What does the master command, but what he said is, as long as the disciple can do it, he will definitely do his best to minimize the killing, so that my Tang Dynasty can be stable. But if it is for my thousand-year-old inheritance in China, some foreigners will be punished, and the disciples will not dare to be soft. Li Xian naturally knew that Xuanzang was persuading him to reduce killing in the future, but he also knew that he had something to do and something he didn't do, and he also knew that he couldn't deceive his master, so he didn't talk about it and directly expressed his attitude.

"Sure enough, it is my good apprentice, as soon as I came up, I guessed the intention of being a teacher, but I only know one and I don't know the other, and I am also thinking about Huaxia for my teacher, you must know that not only war will lead to tragedy, but also a country will be corrupted and degraded over time, so we should keep some strong countries, so that I can inspire myself at any time, otherwise, once there is no opponent, Huaxia has no intention of enterprising, it is not a blessing, but a disaster."

"My teacher's words are far-sighted, but in fact, why don't disciples think about this? However, the heart of the non-my race will be different, some races do not believe in the right way, specializing in killing ****, bringing a thousand years of disasters to my China, that is, my Buddhism is not willing to preach to him, so the disciples think that they should be subdued by force, and then move the people of China, integrate and assimilate their remnants, and then use Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism to educate them, so that they can survive for a long time, then the battle of the four seas of the world will be like the seven heroes of the Warring States period competing with each other, that is, the battle, and it is also my Chinese fire, passed down from generation to generation, so that I will not be able to survive for thousands of years, and will not be disturbed by the evil law and foreign ways? ”

"Alas, the little monk already knew that Er was full of murderous anger, and it would definitely bring a catastrophe to the four seas in the future. Perhaps what you said a few years ago was correct, that if there is no end to evil, good people will suffer calamity, but as long as power is still there and desire is still there, strife is inevitable. Xuanzang persuaded many times, and when he saw that Li Xian still insisted, but he was helpless, he knew that this matter still could not be stopped, but he couldn't help Li Xian, because only this person could minimize the killing karma and prevent the world from falling into a greater chaos.
