Chapter 231: Xuanzang Goes Alone

"Master Xuanzang, I damn it, I'm really a Tang monk."

Li Yanran also mixed in, and when she heard that it was Master Xuanzang who was summoned, she looked at it and saw a monk wearing a robe with white eyebrows and beard strolling among the forbidden army, and not far away was where her father was.

"Sister, this Master Xuanzang is a capable person, can you imagine that he can retrieve countless Buddhist scriptures from Tianzhu, and he is in the name of a holy monk."

Wu Zetian admires Buddhism, and Li Hong naturally has a deep understanding of Buddhism, not to mention that these monks are powerful, even if it is a Buddhist scripture, he can recite a little.

"I naturally know that this Xuanzang is a capable person, do you still need to say it?"

Li Yanran directly knocked on Li Hong's head.

Can I still not know Master Xuanzang?

Tang Seng of later generations, Tang Sanzang, the best enemy in Journey to the West, if he didn't even know, Li Yanran would be in vain.

"Sister, that's what you're talking about?"

Li Hong glanced at the situation in front of him, and couldn't help but be bored for a while.

"You'll find out later, just wait and see."

Li Yanran didn't even look at Li Hong, she just wanted to know if this Xuanzang archmage could catch her father's move next.

Xuanzang walked step by step and slowly came to Li Zhi's holy car.

"Amitabha."

"Poor monk Xuanzang, the Son of Heaven is polite."

Xuanzang looked at Li Zhi, who was surrounded by everyone, and also chanted the Buddha and performed a Buddhist salute.

"Bold Xuanzang, Your Majesty has ordered all the monks and laymen in the Tang Dynasty to kneel when they see you, why don't you kneel?"

Xu Jingzong glanced at Xuanzang and scolded directly and loudly.

It's not that he has ambiguity about Buddhism, it's just that now, as an eagle dog of royal power, he naturally wants to stand up for Li Zhi.

"Monks, outsiders, have nothing to do with the world, and I believe that Your Majesty is magnanimous and will not criticize a monk for this."

Xuanzang lowered his eyebrows and directly mentioned the exposition from the monk Huiyuan.

It's been a long time since someone outside the square didn't obey the king, and if you want him to submit now, at least it won't work on his side.

"If you don't respect the king before the monks, it is inappropriate for Your Majesty to pity the monks in the world, but since Your Majesty has a will, it is inevitable that the monks and laymen will obey the holy decree together, do you want to resist the decree?"

Xu Jingzong shouted at Xuanzang again, now their hole cards have not been lit yet, you have already lost, great monk.

"Amitabha."

Xuanzang did not argue with Xu Jingzong's aggressiveness, but just chanted the Buddha's name and did not reply, but he did not kneel down and salute Li Zhi.

"Xuanzang, you."

"Xu Jingzong, let's do this first."

Wu Zetian glanced at Xu Jingzong and directly asked him to stop.

Xuanzang is a powerful monk, how can you treat him like this, it really makes sense.

"Okay, let's do this first, Xuanzang, I came to ask you, why did you suddenly take the monks of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple out of the temple?"

Li Zhi glanced at Wu Zetian, and then set his eyes on Xuanzang's body.

"Your Majesty, the poor monk just happened to hear that a small remote temple called Santai Temple was being treated unjustly.

The presiding officer of the temple was beaten and half of the temple was destroyed, so he had no choice but to go to the monks to ask for an explanation. ”

Xuanzang once again made a Buddhist salute to Li Zhi and told the matter of Santai Temple.

"Santai Temple, hehe, what a Santai Temple, then Master Xuanzang recognized Santai Temple as a Buddhist temple?"

Hearing that Xuanzang really came for Santai Temple, Li Zhi's eyes were full of smiles.

"In the whole world, all temples are pure places of Buddhism, as long as he has Buddha statues and monks, it is the place of Buddhism.

I also hope that the Son of Heaven can return justice to Santai Temple and to the monks in the world. ”

Xuanzang looked at Li Zhi and already had a bad feeling.

But now that things have come to this, if he doesn't ask for an explanation, he will be truthful this time, and the emperor may not know what will go wrong at that time.

"Did you hear that, our Master Xuanzang has admitted that Santai Temple is a Buddhist temple."

Li Zhi glanced at the hundred officials around him, and he was already trembling excitedly.

Originally, he was still thinking about how to move forward with the search of the temple, but now that you put the knife on your neck, don't blame yourself.

Hearing Li Zhi's words, the hundred officials smiled, frowned, and said nothing.

But without exception, everyone knew that Xuanzang and Buddhism jumped in by themselves.

"Xu Jingzong, show the things found in Santai Temple to our Grand Master Xuanzang."

As soon as Li Zhi waved his hand, Xu Jingzong directly took a handful of evidence and sent it to Xuanzang's side.

Xuanzang picked up the account book and Yishui's testimony, and the whole person was stunned, Rao is that he is familiar with Buddhist scriptures, and he is good at Buddhism, but his heart trembles, and he can't accept it.

He couldn't have imagined that Santai Temple would be such a place.

The Buddha Gate was turned into a Shura field by the other party, and it became a dojo for evil ghosts in the world.

If Li Zhi first told the situation of Santai Temple, he would definitely refuse, not just a person, build a few Buddha statues, and put on a robe to be a Buddha.

Now it's okay, I've already determined that Santai Temple is the land of Buddhism, but this will break out, it's really a sinister person and even more evil.

"Amitabha."

Xuanzang clasped his hands together and shouted the Buddha's name again, and there was no trace of waves in his eyes.

"Xuanzang, what else do you have to say now? Buddhism is so unbearable, is it worthy of the worship of the Tang Dynasty and the belief of the people? ”

Li Zhi shook his head painfully and asked Xuanzang.

"Son of Heaven, I still hope to listen to the words of the poor monk, although the Santai Temple is unbearable, but the Buddha is there, the people worship, wash themselves, this is enough.

As for those evil ghosts, it is still unknown whether they are monks or not, and I hope that the Son of Heaven can hand it over to the Great Ci'en Temple and hand it over to us for inspection, and it will inevitably give Datang justice. ”

Xuanzang is Xuanzang in the end, only talking about the edification of Buddhism, not talking about the filth of Santai Temple.

At the same time, he also made concessions, as long as he took Yishui into his own hands and kept the reputation of Buddhism, he was willing to give up some things, such as the right to dispose of Yishui.

"Yishui is the mastermind of the child loss case near Chang'an ten years ago, the sinner of the Tang Dynasty, and the sinner of those who lost the parents of the child, how can such a person be handed over to Buddhism?

The minister disagreed. ”

Xu Jingzong knelt directly on the ground and saluted Li Zhi.

The knife is stretched out, and if the handle of the knife is caught by the Buddha, it will be difficult to deal with this matter.

"Son of Heaven, no matter whether a water is good or evil, after all, the robe is on his body.

The poor monk didn't want to confront the laws of the Tang Dynasty, but just hoped that the Son of Heaven would let me examine myself first.

The Buddha is the people, and if he hurts the Buddha, he is afraid that the people will be resentful. ”

At this point, Xuanzang knew that he couldn't back down anymore, otherwise Li Zhi would really attack Buddhism, and it would be a shocking catastrophe for Buddhism.

He can't let this happen, even if he is facing Li Zhi, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he can't back down.

Taking a step back is not only the sea and the sky, but also the abyss.

"Are you threatening me?"
