"If the young master doesn't believe in Buddhism, why should he claim to be a man?" Xuanzang had already vaguely guessed Li Yan's identity, but he did not show any abnormality. Instead, he directly pointed out that Li Yan was lying when he said this. After saying this, he turned to Liu Rengui next to him: "I haven't seen him for many days, and the style of governor Liu is still the same."

Liu Rengui said respectfully: "Master, be polite!" Then he returned to Li Yan and stopped talking.

Li Yan had known that Xuanzang would recognize Liu Rengui, so he was not surprised. However, he was a little surprised at the previous few words, "Oh? How did Master Xuanzang know that Yang did not believe in Buddhism? Did the Buddha tell the master?"

"The believers came to the Buddha Tooth Monastery, and naturally they were pious. They would not be like the young master, and they did not show any respect for the Buddha Tooth Monastery." Xuanzang said with a smile.

Li Yan was stunned at first, then laughed happily. He just wanted to make a joke, but he didn't expect that Master Xuanzang's observation was so keen that he could even find such small details, and he also exposed him in person. This is far from the image of the bad guy in Journey to the West in later generations.

After Li Yan laughed, Xuanzang continued to say, "Although the young master is not a believer, I can meet me in this Buddhist Tooth Monastery, which shows that I have a connection with the Buddha. If the young master does not dislike me, I can go to my monk's meditation room to sit."

"Since the master invited him, Yang naturally felt respectful and obedient. However, as for what he had a destiny to be with the Buddha, the young master did not believe it, otherwise he would have been scolded by his ancestors!" Li Yan said half-jokingly.

Xuanzang was stunned when he heard the last sentence, and then he realized it. At the same time, his guess about Li Yan's identity was even more certain. After the Li royal family claimed to be Laozi, they believed in Taoism. Therefore, they were naturally not interested in Buddhism. It seemed that they had lost their words just now.

However, Xuanzang's Buddhist teachings were profound and he didn't care about these subtle points, so he quickly returned to normal. Then he asked Li Yan to go to his Zen room to talk about it. Li Yan naturally would not refuse. He followed the other party out of the Buddha Tooth Monastery, turned a corner to a medium-sized temple, and after entering it through a corner gate, he finally came to an independent courtyard. A huge Bodhi tree blocked the sky of the entire courtyard, and a simple Zen room stood under the Bodhi tree.

Li Yan followed Xuanzang into the Zen room and found that the layout in the Zen room was really simple, with nothing but a short table and a few cushions. However, when Li Yan, Xuanzang and others sat down, a little novice monk soon gave him a pot of tea and a few tea cups.

At this time, Xuanzang smiled and said, "This is the best Maojian given to me by a believer a few days ago. It can be used to entertain distinguished guests. Please give your highness and the governor to taste it!"

Li Yan was not surprised that Xuanzang revealed his true identity in one sentence. After all, Liu Rengui was able to accompany him personally, and he was named Yang Liu. Yang is the surname of Li Yan's mother, and he ranks sixth. Therefore, as long as he is a person with a heart, he may be able to analyze Li Yan's true identity from it.

"Good tea. The soup is orange-yellow and bright, and the pine smoke aroma is fragrant and fragrant. This should be the Maojian produced in Weishan." Liu Rengui picked up the tea cup, smelled the fragrance first, then looked at the color, and then tasted it before speaking.

Although Li Yan invented the fried tea, he was not very proficient in tea tasting. He could only drink the quality of the tea, but he could not tell which kind of tea, so there was no interface on this topic.

"Master Xuanzang has lived in India for many years. I believe he should be very familiar with the situation in India, right?" Li Yan took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.

When Xuanzang heard Li Yan's question, he shook his head and said, "This may disappoint Your Highness. Although I have been to all parts of India over the years, I have been dedicated to seeking Buddha, and have not paid much attention to other matters. I only know some of the basics about the situation in various countries."

Li Yan was not surprised after hearing this, and then asked: "It is indeed admirable that the master concentrates on Buddhism. I just don't know when the master is going to return to China. If necessary, the king can send a fleet to escort the master back."

Xuanzang pondered for a moment and replied: "Thank you for your good intentions. I was preparing to return to the Tang Dynasty two years ago. However, Ceylon Island now belongs to the territory of His Highness, and it is no different from the Tang Dynasty. In addition, this is a pure land of my Buddha, so I plan to stay here for two more years, translate some Buddhist scriptures and then ship them to China for printing and distribution!"

"This is a good idea. Buddhism is prosperous in the Buddhist city, and the environment is much stronger than that of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, if the master needs anything, he can also mention it to Rengui. As long as the king can do it, he will definitely not refuse!" Li Yan said generously, but he didn't have any good idea in his heart.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Xuanzang was very calm. When his Buddhist cultivation reached his level, he had already taken external objects lightly. It was precisely because of this that he did not feel too nervous when facing Li Yan.

However, after Xuanzang said that, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Your Highness, now King Jiang and Your Highness of Yue have already boarded the continent of India, and have also launched wars against the countries in southern India. Although such national affairs are not something that I, a monk, can I let you interfere with, but as the saying goes, God has the virtue of living a life. I wonder if Your Highness can advise the two of His Highnesses to stop their weapons early and avoid the devastation of the world's creatures?"

Li Yan almost laughed out loud when he heard Xuanzang's words, because he finally saw the other party's bad side, but there was no discussion on this matter, and he did not intend to let Li Yun and Li Zhen stop the army. Therefore, he said: "Master, I'm afraid that the master does not understand the purpose of the trip between the seventh and eighth brothers. I believe you know the situation in South China. There have been wars there for many years, and countless people have been displaced due to war. Even the surviving people live a life of stagnation."

Li Yan paused at this point, and then said, "So, after knowing this situation, the seventh and eighth brothers made a great wish to unify Yi Zhu and end the situation in this place that was even more chaotic than the Warring States Period. It can be said that it was a good deed to relieve the people from the upside down. Therefore, it cannot be said that they wanted to invade Tianzhu, but they came with peace and Ming to specifically rescue the people living in dire straits in India!"

After listening to Li Yan's call, Xuanzang was shocked. He probably never expected that no matter what, he could be so shameless. He was not a three-year-old child anymore. If he believed Li Yan's nonsense, he would be a ghost.

However, although Xuanzang knew that Li Yan was talking lies with his eyes open, he had no choice. After all, he was just a monk and had already violated a taboo in interfering in such military and political affairs. If he was ignorant of his chasing, he would probably cause dissatisfaction from His Royal Highness Qi.

It was precisely because of the above that Xuanzang sighed and did not persuade him again. He just said with a compassionate heart: "It turns out that the two high men have some ambitions, but I am a little short-sighted. It's just that the saint's words are the same. God has the virtue of life. I hope that the two high men will have more kind thoughts and try to commit less murderous crimes in the process of unifying the world!"

"This is naturally. My two brothers are not bloodthirsty people, and they come for peace. Therefore, as long as the people of India live under their rule, they will definitely not suffer from the war again!" Li Yan said with a righteous attitude.

However, Liu Rengui, who was next to him, smiled bitterly after hearing this. Speaking of King Jiang and Li Yun, he was quite kind, but the King of Yue Li Zhen was a natural general and was easy to kill. Some time ago, during the conflict with surrounding countries, many enemy troops surrendered, but were still slaughtered by him. This is somewhat similar to some generals of the Tang Dynasty. He is truly a top student who graduated from the Chang'an Military Academy.

Although Xuanzang knew that Li Yan's words were unreliable, he had no choice. After all, this matter was beyond his ability. Li Yan also felt that the atmosphere was a little stiff, so he asked the other party for some of his experiences from the Tang Dynasty to India, as well as some of the customs and customs in various parts of India.

Xuanzang naturally spoke up about Li Yan's questions, and Li Yan also listened to them with relish. Although some things learned from the other party were not as strange as Journey to the West, they were better than the truth, especially when they were told from the person involved, which made people feel immersive.

Li Yan talked with Xuanzang for an afternoon, and during this period he had a vegetarian meal with the other party. He stood up and said goodbye until the sun was declining. At the end of his farewell, Li Yan also reminded Xuanzang not to spend time to translate Buddhist scriptures and to write down his experience from the Tang Dynasty to India, and the more detailed the better. After all, few people in later generations knew what scriptures Tang Xuanzang brought back from India, but they all knew that he wrote "The Record of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty", which later evolved into the novel "Journey to the West", which influenced countless people.

When I first came to the Buddha City, I might feel very fresh, but after staying for a long time, I feel bored, because in addition to temples and temples, the food here is mainly vegetarian, especially the prototype of curry rice, which is to use various spices and food to cook them in a random manner. It tastes mixed with fragrance and feels particularly strange, which makes Li Yan, who is holding his mouth, particularly uncomfortable.
