Xuanzang was confused, but Master Jiexian, who was close to 100 years old, told him that it was the Tubo people who surrounded Nalanda Temple.

"Xuanzang, you are from the Tang Dynasty, and I don't need to say much about the relationship between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, you should understand that it depends on you whether the Buddhist holy place of Nalanda Temple can be kept." The old voice of the Ring Wizard spoke.

"Yes...... The disciple will do his best. Xuanzang pronounced a Buddha horn before he spoke.

"Go ahead." Master Jiexian waved his hand.

"Master Jiexian, what if I can't stop this catastrophe?" Xuanzang said softly.

Master Jiexian did not answer Xuanzang's words, but just sat there silently and began to chant the scriptures.

Xuanzang paused for a moment, then turned to leave.

Leaving Nalanda Temple, Xuanzang soon saw the Tubo army surrounding here, and the other party directly took him to the Qinwang where Li Ke of the Ganges River in the north of Nalanda Temple was located.

Li Ke saw Xuanzang wearing an earthy gray monk's robe on the King of Qin.

Xuanzang is about 1.8 meters tall, the whole person is very strong, and his appearance is quite in line with the description of Tang Seng in Journey to the West, he is very handsome, and it is normal for female goblins to have thoughts about him.

"Chen Xuanzang has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qin." Xuanzang made a Buddhist salute to Li Ke.

"The master is gracious." Li Ke smiled, "Please take a seat." Li Ke pointed to the seat next to him and said.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Xuanzang bowed, announced the Buddha's name and sat down, and Li Ke asked the maid to make Xuanzang a cup of tea.

"I heard that the master taught himself Tianzhu at Nalanda Monastery and was translating Buddhist scriptures?" Li Ke asked.

"Yes." Xuanzang nodded.

"How's it going?" Li Ke looked at him and asked.

"The minister has mastered the Tianzhu language and is translating the scriptures." Xuanzang said softly.

Li Ke looked at him, he was a scholar, Li Ke didn't know much about other aspects, but at least he had language talent.

And being able to translate scriptures and write "The Legend of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", he must be not bad in terms of knowledge and other aspects, talent! Speaking of which, there are still a lot of talents in these Buddhist temples in the Tang Dynasty, and all Buddhist temples must be literate, that is to say, these monks put aside those who have just become monks, and other monks are all scholars.

Although they read Buddhist scriptures, they are actually like normal historical classics, and these monks are also meant to read.

Four books and five classics, Li Ke is sure that Xuanzang must have read it.

"I heard that the reason why the master went to this Tianzhu to seek Buddhist scriptures is because the Buddhist scriptures that have been transmitted to the Central Plains have different interpretations of various masters, so you want to come to Tianzhu, so you go west to seek the Dharma to solve the confusion?" Li Ke asked with a smile.

To be honest, since he has crossed over here, Li Ke is naturally interested in Xuanzang, but this interest is more of an interest in seeing a historical figure, for what he has done, Li Ke admires it more, but that's it, for his achievements, as far as Li Ke is concerned, he doesn't make any evaluation, because for him, these things are worthless.

"Yes." Xuanzang was silent for a while, to be honest, what he knew about Li Ke was just that he knew, and some of Li Ke's deeds, Xuanzang really didn't know, because his energy was spent on seeking Buddhist scriptures.

"The master doesn't know if he has any ideas, I can replace my father and the emperor to give the master an official." Li Ke asked with a smile.

Xuanzang was stunned for a moment, how does this feel that this conversation has turned to some unknown place? Although he may be some talent, Xuanzang doesn't feel that he is worthy of His Royal Highness King Qin running thousands of miles away to recruit him.

"Please atone for your sins, the poor monks are not here, not to mention, the poor monks are only shallow in learning, there are so many officials in Datang, and their abilities are far beyond the poor monks, so thank you for your appreciation." Xuanzang said respectfully.

"Oh? This is not a problem, the master can learn a Chinese language in such a short time, which proves that the master has an extraordinary talent in this regard, the so-called natural talent must be useful, the master must have a suitable position in the Tang Dynasty. Li Ke said with a smile.

Xuanzang: "......"

He was a little confused by Li Ke, he was not a tactful shirk just now, it should be said that he clearly refused, but His Royal Highness King Qin actually solicited it again...... This...... It made him a little speechless, but he really didn't want to do it.

"Your Highness, the poor monk is really not here, and the poor monk has never been exposed to such political affairs, so I'm really sorry." Xuanzang rejected Li Ke head-on.

"It's okay, then let's chat, since the master's ambition is not here, then I don't know what the master's ambition is?" Li Ke looked at him with a smile and asked.

Religion has been in the service of politics since ancient times, and if religion was useless to politics, it would have been extinguished long ago. Even in the West, where the divine power is greater than the monarchy in a certain period, it is actually of some use to politics, otherwise, some people are against it. But if religion is to serve politics, it has to be persuaded of its leaders.

Xuanzang is not now, but when he returns to the Tang Dynasty from here, then he will definitely be the leader of Buddhism.

Therefore, Li Ke naturally had to find a way to "convince" him.

"The vast Dharma is universal for all sentient beings." Xuanzang's face was calm, and he said with a serious expression.

"If that's the case, then I think it's more important for the master to serve in the imperial court than to translate the scriptures here." Li Ke said with a smile on his face.

Xuanzang's expression was silent, and his face was serious: "If you can't understand the Dharma, how can you talk about the vast number of Buddhism and all sentient beings." ”

He didn't say anything superfluous, but the implication was that he felt that what he was doing now was more important.

"Is that so? Then let me ask you another question, which one does the master think is more important, the Dharma or the universal sentient beings? Li Ke looked at him and asked.

"If you don't have the vast Dharma, how can you talk about universal sentient beings?" Xuanzang looked at Li Ke.

"Oh, isn't the purpose of the vast Dharma to benefit all sentient beings?" Li Ke continued.

Xuanzang; "What His Highness said is good, so the poor monk is here to translate the scriptures, and strive to make himself profound in the Dharma, and then the Dharma will be used to benefit all sentient beings."

"Oh, is that so? In that case, the master thinks that the Buddhist scriptures in this Tianzhu Nalanda Temple are more profound than my Tang Dynasty, right? Li Ke took a sip of tea.

"This is natural, Master Jiexian's Dharma cultivation is extremely profound, and the poor monk is afraid that he will not be able to compare with it in his life, so the poor monk is here to study." Xuanzang's treasure is solemn.

Hey, Li Ke couldn't help but want to sigh, you said, I didn't want to find the weakness in your words, but you have to put this loophole into my mouth, you said that I can't help myself if I don't complain, how can I be embarrassed?
