"They worship Buddha, recite scriptures, and offer incense and fire to Buddha in this life. They are accumulating virtue for their future lives and seeking wealth and honor in the next life!" Monk Faming was a little frustrated, and said in a low voice: "Don't you understand such a truth?"

"But in the six reincarnations, the past is washed away, and after the reincarnation is a new life." Xuanzang shook his head lightly and sighed: "Who really knows what will happen to him in the next life?

"Master, you should also know that such words are just to make believers and pilgrims feel at ease, and they will not solve practical problems at all. Learning Buddhism may change this life?"

"Absurd!" Fa Ming trembled angrily, pointed at Xuanzang, and said, "If you want to live in this life, why don't you learn from those idiots?! To learn how they burn lead to smelt mercury and take red pills?!"

"Amitabha." Xuanzang clasped his hands together and said, "Master, you have violated the precept of anger again. This disciple has no desire to follow the Tao, but only has doubts about the Dharma. Besides..."

"Besides what?" Fa Ming said in a deep voice, "Speak in one breath!"

"Besides, I have also met some foreign Semu people and heard them talk about their own country." Xuanzang said indifferently: "In their mouth, the Tang Dynasty is like a paradise of bliss.

"Here, even the poorest people can live and work in peace and contentment, and live a life they envy. In the eyes of these people, Datang is a land of wealth and honor, a land of peace and happiness. It is not a sea of ​​suffering at all, and the people of Datang do not need to be rescued."

"It's nonsense." Fa Ming sneered, "There are so many turmoil in the world of mortals, all living beings are busy, birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable, and reincarnation will fall into obscurity forever. Don't such people need the help of Buddhism?"

"But the Buddhism I've learned can't change this." Xuanzang shook his head.

"You!" Fa Ming was so angry that he was speechless, and finally said after a long while: "Maybe it's really a problem with the Dharma itself. The Dharma of our Great Tang Dynasty is not authentic after all, and the Dharma of my Jinshan Temple in Jiangzhou is even a side door of the Great Tang Dynasty. ..."

"Can there be a righteous teaching in the Tang Dynasty?" Xuanzang's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"In Chang'an, the capital of Xi'an, there are many treasure temples. In the past two years, Buddhism has revived, and there are many eminent monks teaching the Dharma. You can go by yourself." Fa Ming seemed to give up and continue to persuade.

"Thank you, Master!" Xuanzang clasped his hands together, bowed in salute, and said, "I will go to Chang'an now, to seek the righteous Dharma."

……

Today's Chang'an City is more prosperous.

Since the Turks and Tubo were repelled, and since the establishment of the Zhenma Division to kill all kinds of demons, the holy prestige of the Tang Dynasty has been spread for thousands of miles, and its reputation has been enjoyed by all countries.

At this time, all nations have come to the dynasty, and they are living in the kingdom of heaven.

The entire Tang Dynasty is thriving, and the national strength is getting stronger day by day.

Li Shimin was even revered as the Heavenly Khan, enjoying the unprecedented majesty of an emperor.

And Li Heng, the source of all these achievements, has been living in seclusion in the Human Emperor's Palace, and has hardly shown himself in the past five years.

Except for Zhenmasi's Zhenmao Order and acting chief, no one else knew about his situation at all.

In the southeast courtyard of Renhuang Palace.

Pei Jianghui and Li Mingda were sitting opposite Li Heng, and they were watching curiously as he was carving a piece of wood.

This is another beast, but because it is only a prototype, it is not yet clear what it is.

"Brother Fifteen, do you intend to live in seclusion here forever?" Li Mingda couldn't hold back and asked, "Now that the Tang Dynasty is in full swing, the town magician has scared countless demons.

"All of this is because of you, but now not many people outside remember you. This is unfair to you. You should have your glory."

"Glory?" Li Heng put down the wood in his hand, shook his head lightly and said with a smile, "This is not important to me. What I want to do now is to prepare for possible crises in the future."

"Crisis?" Pei Jianghui was a little surprised when he heard the words, and then smiled: "Your Highness, now I have 3000 years of Taoism, and the capitals of the three major courtyards have also passed the thousand-year Taoism. If we have suppressed it, what danger can there be?"

In the past five years, thanks to the various pills, superb martial arts, and careful guidance provided by Li Heng, Pei Jianghui's Taoism has progressed extremely quickly, and her confidence has become more and more abundant.

"No, the danger does not lie in demons." Li Heng shook his head lightly, and said, "It's not enough, it's not enough. If my guess is true, then it's too far away?"

"What guess?"

Both Pei Jianghui and Li Mingda were curious.

What kind of speculation and what kind of crisis is related to it?How could such a top expert be willing to live in seclusion for several years without asking about world affairs, and concentrate on making preparations?

Although they didn't know exactly how powerful Li Heng was, judging from Li Heng's level of martial arts instruction, they guessed that Li Heng might have possessed ten thousand years of Taoism.

This is already the limit they can imagine.

"I can't say it." Li Heng shook his head, and said with a light smile, "Maybe there will be big trouble if you say it. In short, there is nothing wrong with being careful. You should continue to pay attention to the monk named Xuanzang."

"Well, I've been paying attention." Pei Jianghui nodded and said: "You can rest assured that as long as a monk named Xuanzang becomes famous, I will be the first to record it."

"That's good." Li Heng nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "This monk is the key to confirming my guess. By the way, has anything strange happened in Chang'an City recently?"

"Something rather strange?" Pei Jianghui pondered for a while, shook her head lightly and said, "No, after all, no one would dare to pretend to be a ghost in the capital with the town magician... No, there seems to be one."

"Who?" Li Heng asked.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, this will definitely not be some kind of monster sneaking in." Pei Jianghui said with a smile: "Some time ago, the Qin Tianjian was looking for Yuan Tiangang's uncle to find him a place to stay, and set up a place in Chang'an East City. Fortune-telling stalls, it is said that there are hundreds of fortune-tellers."

"What's his name?" Li Heng frowned immediately.

"What's the name..." Pei Jianghui thought for a while, and said, "It seems to be... Yuan Shoucheng?"

Chapter 100 Please tell me what is going on in the sky

"Yuan Shoucheng..." Li Heng pondered for a while when he heard the words, and said, "Where did this person learn the art of fortunetelling, so that he can count hundreds of spirits?"

"It is said that it is a family tradition, and the people in the city call him Mr. Shenke." Pei Jianghui thought for a while, and felt that Li Heng seemed to be more concerned about this, so she asked curiously: "Your Highness, I have heard of this before." people?"

"No." Li Heng shook his head lightly and said, "I'm just a little surprised to hear Bai Suan Bai Ling's hexagram skills. After all, fortunetelling is the most difficult to figure out. Even ordinary people's numerology is complicated and difficult to understand. Occasionally, it is normal. It's kind of weird."

"If you say that, it's true." Pei Jianghui nodded, and said thoughtfully, "Do you want me to send a town demon envoy to investigate this Yuan Shoucheng in detail?"

"Brother Fifteen suspects that Yuan Shoucheng is related to the crisis you guessed before?" Li Mingda pondered for a while, and said, "If that's the case, I'm afraid our Town Magic Division should not act rashly."

Judging from Li Heng's attitude just now, he attaches great importance to this "crisis", probably because he thinks that even the current Zhenmagic can't resist this crisis.

If Yuan Shoucheng really had something to do with this, it would be easy to scare the snake away if Zhenmasi investigated rashly.

"Well, you don't need to act." Li Heng nodded lightly, and said, "Everything can be done as usual."

……

Chang'an East City is extremely prosperous, with adjacent shops and merchants gathering.

In the past, the busiest places were usually wine shops and brothels, but now people gathered at a fortune-telling booth not far from Chunming Gate, waiting in line for a divination teacher to give them divination.

The name of this god teacher is Yuan Shoucheng, and he is the uncle of Yuan Tiangang, the imperial supervisor of the imperial court. It is rumored that he has already become a saint in the field of numerology. born.

There are no omissions, a hundred counts, and even many courtiers will come to patronize his booth, which can be said to be the crown of Chang'an.

However, Yuan Shoucheng is not arrogant, and still treats people equally.

Regardless of whether the visitor is a court official or a trafficker, he always has the same attitude, charges the same price, and performs the same calculation.
