In a three-entry mansion in Xingdaofang below the imperial city outside Chang'an City, a shirtless man with a red coat and a somewhat gray face was sitting lazily on the porch, leaning against a table.
Standing on a pillar, looking aimlessly at the sky.
Tap tap tap...
After a series of deliberately heavy footsteps, a man in Tsing Yi appeared at the door of the courtyard and knocked on the door a few times.
"Come in……"
The man in red still looked at the sky and said casually.
"You didn't do anything wrong, so you don't need to be so restrained."
"yes!"
After the man in green agreed, he walked in from the outside and stood in the corridor of the man in red.
"Did you figure it out?"
The man in red then turned around, still with an indifferent smile on his face.
"What's going on with those bald guys? Why are they following us?"
"I haven't received any specific information yet..."
The man in green lowered his hands and lowered his head, his tone somewhat dejected.
"But I guess it's because of Monk Yifan's incident."
"Monk Yifan?"
The man in red frowned, covered his mouth with his hand, and coughed lightly.
"who is he?"
"He is a practicing monk of the Lotus Sect..."
The man in Tsing Yi said concisely and concisely.
"It was the monk who wanted to entrust us to rescue people at the Yuancong Imperial Guard Station. At that time, Li Zitong wanted to escape Chang'an, so I handed the matter over to him. As a result, he and Li Zitong had not escaped from Lantian.
He was killed by Qingwei, a Taoist priest from Qingdu Temple."
"Since people were killed by Taoist priests, what does this matter have to do with us..."
A look of anger appeared on the face of the man in red.
"Every wrong has its owner, and every debt has its owner. If these bald men want to take revenge, they should go to that Taoist priest named Qing Wei to settle their accounts."
"But behind Taoist priest Qingwei stands Qingxiazi Su Yuanlang. Monk Ji Zang may think that even if he takes action personally, he cannot kill with one blow, and once his attack on Qingwei is leaked, Qingxiazi will
They will definitely come to his door, and he will be dead by then."
The man in Tsing Yi explained carefully.
"Because of this, when Monk Jizang said he wanted to hire us to kill Qingwei, I didn't think much about it. Who knew that he was pretending to kill Qingwei? He wanted to take the opportunity to find the hiding place and identity of our Kong Kong Jingjing.
It’s true. But…”
The man in green bowed slightly towards the man in red.
"...They still underestimated you!"
"The old monk still underestimated Jing Jing'er."
Monk Jizang sat on the futon in the dark room of Yanxing Temple, nodding to the great monks Fa Shun, Fa Jing, Hui Yuan, Zhi Xi and others in front of him. Although his face was calm, there was some disappointment in his tone.
"The old monk thought he had the imprint of other minds, and Jing Jing'er was determined not to discover it, but the result..."
Monk Jizang shook his head gently and recited the Buddha's name.
"Namo Miaoguang Bodhisattva!"
"You cannot blame the great monk Jizang for this matter..."
The representative of the Fahua Sect, the great monk Zhixi, waved his hand gently.
"We decided to find Kong Kong Jingjing and obtain the evidence of the collusion between Li Zitong and them to flee and hand it over to the current saint. The matter of soothing my Buddhist cheek was decided by us together. How can we let the great monk Jizang bear it alone?
.”
"But now I haven't found any evidence, and I have offended Kong Kong Jingjing..."
The great monk Dharma Sutra said worriedly beside him.
"Will the Kongjing Jing become angry at Buddhism and cause other practitioners to die as a result?"
"rest assured!"
Monk Dushun shook his head.
"Jing Jing'er's target will only be the great monk Jizang."
"Good!"
The great monk Jizang put his hands together and looked solemn with a precious look on his face.
"If I don't go to hell, who will?"
"That's right!"
Monk Zhixi also explained something on the side.
"Jing Jing'er's skills may not be as good as Kong Kong'er's, but their pride is the same. This person will definitely not do anything to anger others."
"There is no need to anger other people, business must be done..."
The man in red waved his hand to the man in green, with a proud smile on his face.
"As for what happened to the great monk Jizang, I, Jing Jing'er, will naturally go and find him in person."
"But aren't you saying that the string of Buddhist beads on Monk Jizang's hand seems to be made of relics and is extremely powerful, so you are no match at all?"
The man in green raised his head and looked at the man in red strangely.
"How are you going to deal with him?"
"Things such as Buddhist beads and magical instruments are nothing more than foreign objects."
Jing Jing'er narrowed her eyes, and a touch of blood appeared on her gray face.
"It's impossible for him, Monk Jizang, to hold on to that string of beads forever. I don't believe that he carries that string of beads on him day and night...including when he takes a shower and goes to the toilet. Besides, so what if he keeps it on..."
"
A glint flashed in Jing Jing'er's eyes.
"Can't someone get someone to steal the thing?"
"steal?"
The man in Tsing Yi was a little stunned.
"Are you planning to invite Kong Konger to come to Chang'an?"
"How is that possible!"
The man in red gave the man in green a blank look.
"If the eldest brother comes to Chang'an, do you still need to steal Jizang's Buddhist beads? Wouldn't it be over if you just let the eldest brother take his head?"
"If Kong Kong'er doesn't come to Chang'an..."
The man in Tsing Yi asked doubtfully.
"Who in the world can steal this string of Buddhist beads from the hands of the great monk Jizang?"
"There is someone who can definitely do it, and she is in Chang'an."
Jing Jing'er raised her head and said confidently.
"From what I know, when it comes to stealing, even Brother Kong Kong'er may not be able to have sex with her. You don't understand this."
"oh!"
The man in green nodded silently.
"Also, Monk Jizang left a letter at our contact point..."
"And the old monk has left a letter to Kong Kong Jingjing."
Monk Jizang said calmly.
"Tell them that what happened before was a misunderstanding. If they are willing to expose this matter and turn the hostility into friendship, we can provide some compensation."
"Good!"
Monk Huiyuan put his hands together and nodded.
"It's best this way. Otherwise, if we start a war with the Kong Kong Jing Jing, although we can protect ourselves, the disciples won't."
"Don't worry, it's impossible for Kong Kong Jingjing to start a war with my Buddhist sect."
Monk Zhixi put his hands together and said seriously.
"The most critical thing now is to deal with Fu Yi's attack in the court and the matter of Lao Jun's sanctification and title."
"Do you still need to consider the matter of Lao Jun's sanctification..."
The great monk Dharma Sutra said contemptuously.
"The Hu'er of the Li family has staged many manifestations of the old master in the past few years, and this time it was King Qin Li Shimin who personally took action. There was no witness except one of his confidants, Fang Qiao. Isn't the matter obvious?
"
"It's hard to say..."
Monk Du Shun twisted his rosary beads in his hand and answered while thinking.
"I once asked a junior who joined the Tiance Mansion. He said that the incident of His Highness King Qin meeting Laojun this time was absolutely true and was not made up by King Qin himself."
"Hahaha……"
Monk Jizang burst out laughing.
"How could it not be fabricated? We are all practitioners. Don't we know whether the Taoist master is still in this world? As for the so-called heaven or the emperor of heaven, don't we still understand what it is?
"
"good!"
Monk Huiyuan also nodded.
"Laojun has left this world. Even if he does come back, he will not pay attention to Li Tang's affairs. There is no way that just because Li Yuan changed his surname to Li, Lao Dan will really think that they are his descendants!
"
"Niezi just said that King Qin really met an old gentleman..."
Monk Dushun twisted his rosary beads and spoke slowly.
"It's not said that he is really Laojun. From Nizi's point of view, this person should be a very Taoist priest. This thing is very scary."
"that's right!"
Monk Zhixi nodded seriously.
"The return of the real Laojun is not scary. What is scary is that a Laojun who can confuse the real one with the fake one appears frequently. The ignorant people in the world will not distinguish between the real and the fake. Once the fake one appears more often, it will become real. So.
We must find the passage to the immortal world and capture this holy ‘Tai Shang Laojun’.”
Monk Dushun, Monk Dharma Sutra, Monk Huiyuan, and Monk Jizang nodded at the same time.
"Good!"
"You are so kind to your mother... These bastards and bald men will fight whenever they want and make peace if they want. Who do they think Nai Weng is?"
The man in red smiled contemptuously and tore the letter in his hand into pieces.
"I have been in the world for several years, and I have never lost face to such a person. If I don't get this face back, how can I have the nerve to claim to be the strongest Jing Jinger in the past five hundred years?"
The man in green looked at him silently and said nothing.
"but……"
The man in red changed his tone and said to the man in green.
"A fight is a fight, and a business is a business. We have a grudge against the bald man, but not against the bald man's money. As I said just now, don't blame other people. You have to do business when you should do it."
"yes!"
The man in green nodded.
"It's clear."
"In addition, you can ask the rangers in Chang'an City to do a favor and inquire about someone."
Jing Jing'er leaned against the pillar next to her with a lazy look on her face.
"Her name is Xiaoqing, she is a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, here between the eyebrows..."
Jing Jing'er raised her head and nodded on her face.
"There is a birthmark that looks like a leaf."
"yes!"
The man in green nodded again.
"Let's make arrangements now."
"Um!"
The man in red nodded with satisfaction.
"Remember, don't act rashly after you find this girl, tell her something directly..."
As he spoke, the man in red raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance.
"Purple Dragon Jie is in my hand."
"yes!"
The man in green bows and salutes.
"I'll make arrangements now..."
"Monk Zhixi's suggestion is very good. This matter must be arranged..."
Monk Ji Zang said with a solemn expression.
"We cannot let the Li and Tang royal family just give Lao Jun a title. If he wants to do so, the Buddha must also be given a title. Otherwise, people all over the world may think that Buddha's status is lower than Lao Jun."
"It's not just Buddha either..."
Monk Du Shun said calmly.
"Including Confucian sect Confucius also needs to have a title, so that the scribes can help."
Monk Zhixi nodded repeatedly.
"Master Fashun's words deeply touched my heart. In this matter, the scribes should first come forward and ask for the title of Confucius, and then take a roundabout way and propose that the Buddha should also be given the title."
"The old monk thinks that someone can give Kong Yingda some advice on this matter..."
A smile appeared on Monk Jizang's lips.
"As a descendant of Confucius, it is natural for him to add glory to the Confucian sect."
