Since Maitreya came to Chang'an, more than ten days have passed, and the wind and waves have been calm, except for Chang'an City, which has recovered a little bit of prosperity, nothing else has happened.

In the apse of Qiming Palace, Lin Ze sat opposite Zhuang Zhou, holding a cup of tea and asked, "Recently, has Senior Brother found anything abnormal?"

Zhuang Zhou, who was dressed in a cyan robe, took a sip of tea, shook his head and said: "During this time, Brother Wei has been monitoring a radius of thousands of miles with Chang'an as the center, and has not found the shadow of the Buddha. ”

Lin Ze smiled and said, "As expected, Senior Brother is sitting in Chang'an, and he will never dare to show his face unless the Buddha is dizzy." ”

Zhuang Zhou frowned slightly and said, "Since the junior brother knows that this trick is useless, why do you have to wait for the rabbit and waste effort?"

Lin Ze said disapprerovingly: "Senior brother's words are wrong, sometimes there are too many useless tricks, and you may get unexpected results." ”

Zhuang Zhou was very skeptical about this: "For example?"

Lin Ze didn't respond immediately, but clapped his palms.

Hearing a rush of footsteps, Wu Fan, who was dressed in brocade, walked into the apse, bowed down and said, "Meet Your Majesty." ”

Lin Ze waved his hand and asked, "Is there anything to be gained during this time?"

Wu Fan replied: "Your Majesty, the spies lurking inside Buddhism and Confucianism have reported that during this period of time, except for recruiting disciples and believers, there is nothing abnormal in Confucianism. ”

"The three Confucian sages that Your Majesty has given you the focus on have been lecturing and preaching, eager to replace the ideas of Confucianism with their own ideas. ”

Lin Ze said indifferently: "I know, continue to stare at it, and report it immediately if there is news." ”

"No"

Wu Fan bowed and retreated.

Zhuang Zhou asked with a puzzled expression, "Senior brother, is this casting a wide net?"

Lin Ze nodded and said: "Senior brother guessed right, it is a useless trick to wait for the rabbit, but it can at least play a misleading role, the Buddha Confucian Ruo really thinks that the Dao Palace only has this means, and he deserves to be pitted." ”

Zhuang Zhou was still a little puzzled: "Why did the junior brother pay attention to Meng Ke and them? Do you think that the Confucian saints would act against them like the Buddha? Why did the junior brother have such thoughts?"

Lin Ze put down the teacup and looked directly at Zhuang Zhou, but he didn't see half of the disguise on his face, and smiled: "Senior brother doesn't know what's going on, but he has a faint premonition." ”

"Oh"

Zhuang Zhou answered, and did not continue to ask, but asked, "What is the junior brother going to do next?"

Lin Zegang wanted to speak, as if he felt something, his whole body straightened, and he looked up at the sky.

I saw that the cloud of qi luck above his head suddenly boiled, and countless pure white qi luck poured in from the void, turning from white to blue, from green to red, and finally turning into a touch of purple.

The qi luck infusion lasted for ten breaths, and then gradually slowed down.

"Whew~"

Lin Ze let out a breath of turbidity, and the whole person relaxed, probably guessing what was going on.

It was nothing more than Chen Ping's implementation of the new policy, and the people were grateful to Xiqin from the bottom of their hearts, thanking him for being the lord of Xiqin, so it caused the Heavenly Dao to induce, and his luck skyrocketed in an instant.

Lin Ze has been planning this matter for a long time, and he suddenly encountered a happy event, although he was a little happy, he was able to control his emotions very well.

However, Zhuang Zhou's face changed slightly, and the aura of the sage realm shrouded Qiming Palace and even Chang'an City, concentrating on the Quartet.

Lin Ze was stunned and said, "Senior brother, what do you mean?"

Zhuang Zhou came back to his senses, quickly withdrew his breath, and said with an embarrassed face: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Lin Ze looked incredulous: "It's really okay?"

"It's really fine," Zhuang Zhou shook his head firmly in denial.

Zhuang Zhou originally thought that the abnormality on Lin Ze's body was the Buddha's action, so he would have excesses, where was he embarrassed to tell Lin Zeming about this kind of thing?

Lin Ze chuckled: "It's okay, didn't Senior Brother ask me about my next plans?" Senior Brother wants to go back to the Dao Palace with Senior Brother, I don't know if Senior Brother is willing?"

Zhuang Zhou heard Lin Ze bring up the old matter again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Why do you have to bother the teacher?

Lin Ze retracted his smile, got up and walked to the door of the apse, and sighed: "In the world of great contention, if you don't fight, you will die, senior brother may not care as a saint, but junior brother, as well as tens of millions of people in Western Qin, have to care." ”

"I don't know why the senior brother refuses to ask the teacher for help, because he is worried that the teacher's refusal to help will cause discord between the master and the apprentice?"

"Or does the senior brother think that the teacher can't do anything about this matter, and asking for help won't help?"

Zhuang Zhou sighed when he heard this, and said quietly: "Senior brother, do you know that tens of thousands of years ago, if the teacher intervened, he didn't even need to pay a price, and today there is no Confucian saint?"

Lin Ze looked slightly stunned, and said with a wry smile: "I see, no wonder the teacher is voluntarily trapped in the Dao Palace, unwilling to break the blockade, unwilling to eliminate future troubles for me." In one sentence, the senior brother explained the reason. ”

Zhuang Zhou said slightly unnaturally: "Senior brother, don't think too much, maybe the teacher really can't come out, after all, it is the death counterattack of the three saints who fell into the saint realm, the three avenues are perfectly intertwined, and it is normal for the teacher to not be able to break it." ”

"The teacher actually cares about the younger brother, when he learned that the Buddha and the Confucian sage attacked the junior brother, the teacher was furious, and did not hesitate to say that he would destroy the Buddhism and Confucianism and threaten the Buddha and the Confucian sage not to commit ...... again."

Before Zhuang Zhou finished speaking, Lin Ze opened his mouth and interrupted: "Stop, senior brother doesn't need to say it, the teacher is unpredictable, I am shallow, and I can't understand it thoroughly, but I have my own set of ideas, and I don't need to be imposed by others." ”

"The teacher refuses to exterminate the Buddha and the Confucianism, he has his own teacher's reasons, if he catches the opportunity, he will not let go of any of them, this is my idea. ”

To paraphrase a classic saying, the Tao is different, and there is no conspiracy with each other. ”

"The junior brother advises the senior brother again, at all times, you should have your own ideas, and don't be easily swayed by others. ”

After Lin Ze said this, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Just after walking a few steps, Lin Ze sensed a wisp of Buddha's breath flashing in the clouds, and immediately made a decision, a big hand conjured out, grabbed it above the nine heavens, and shouted at the same time: "Thief, hurry up." ”

Lin Ze shot fast, Zhuang Zhou shot faster, and when Lin Ze's big hand reached into the clouds, the sky suddenly changed color, like an upside-down sea, rippling blue waves.

That's right, in order to prevent the existence of the suspected Buddha from escaping, Zhuang Zhou directly used the characteristics of the saint realm and replaced this world with his own small world.

The next moment, Lin Ze's big hand dragged a person out of the clouds.

As soon as he succeeded, Lin Ze felt that something was wrong, the person who came was too weak, and he didn't look like a Buddha at all.

Looking closely, the person who was caught was indeed not the Buddha, but Xuantang, who had not appeared for a long time.

"Smack"

Lin Ze threw Xuantang on the ground, his expression was indifferent, and he asked without emotion: "Master Xuantang, explain why there is a sky over Chang'an City?

"If the mage doesn't give a reasonable answer today, I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of this city. ”
