The three Buddhist giants Shen Fang, Jiashang, and Pu Guang gathered together and were all waiting anxiously. Behind them were the direct descendants of each temple, and their moods became even more agitated.
Soon, a figure flashed past, and the three of them looked happy.
Shen Fang clasped his hands together, held the beads and said, "Amitabha, the Master is finally back."
Xuanzang nodded and said, "I already know about the sound transmission."
Jia Shang ignored the politeness and asked directly: "Is it true or false?"
Xuanzang's face was gloomy. The people present were all human beings. When they saw his performance, they immediately understood.
Puguang sat slumped on the futon and murmured: "It's so unexpected that it's so bad."
Shen Fang looked the calmest because he had heard his master talk about this matter a long time ago and had some vague knowledge about it, but he was also filled with turmoil in his heart.
Jia Shang had a hot temper and raised his eyes angrily, saying: "In that case, what are you waiting for? Why don't you go to the west to cleanse the pure land!"
Shen Fang stopped him and said, "What did the Master say?"
Xuanzang said: "It is true that something happened in the Pure Land of Buddhism. I have told you about it a long time ago, but I didn't explain it in such detail at that time."
When the monks heard this, they nodded frequently. Master Xuanzang did tell everyone something when he came back.
Xuanzang continued: "But who sent this message and what its purpose is, we still need to carefully consider it."
He stretched out his hands and said to the monks: "Don't let others lead you by the nose."
"No matter what his purpose is or who caused it, since the Buddha suffered and the Pure Land was contaminated, we will kill him no matter what."
Xuanzang said: "Buddha once cut meat to feed eagles. It can be seen that in the heart of Sakyamuni Tathagata, the life of any living being is equally precious. If for the sake of Buddha, he rashly launches a war to the west, killing and injuring countless Buddhist monks, and when the time comes to rescue Buddha, he will be called
Did he get his wish?"
When Jia Shang heard this, he felt enlightened and said, "I am ashamed, I am ashamed, my monk's Dharma is not deep, and my anger is hard to eliminate. Thank you so much, Master, for your teachings."
Shen Fang was the calmest. He asked: "Master, what should we do?"
"Let's see what happens"
"ah?"
"this?"
After Xuanzang finished speaking, he quietly watched what happened. All the monks present were surprised and suspicious.
Xuanzang said: "The message transmission not only gave us the temples in the Six Dynasties, but also the Buddhist palaces in Tubo and the temples in Siam. Let's see how they behave."
"Why do we, the Central Plains Buddhists, do what others do?" a young monk in the crowd said loudly.
Xuanzang did not blame him because of his junior status. He sighed and said: "Because we still have many things to confirm. For example, I will go to see the trapped Buddha first."
"This is good!"
Yanjing, Xing'er Lane.
As night falls, the drums for cleaning the street have already sounded, but a house is already brightly lit with nearly a hundred lanterns hanging.
This is the residence of Wang Zhen, a newly powerful man. Although he is a eunuch, he also has his own residence and even has many wives.
More than ten long tables were arranged in a zigzag shape inside the hanging flower gate, and a large group of Wang Zhen's confidants gathered together to have a drink.
Wang Zhen's face turned red after drinking. He raised his glass and said, "Our family doesn't have much ability. Some people say that our family only gained the power it has today by flattering the emperor."
He spoke in a very feminine tone, and everyone was eating. A small stall in Dongchang ate a piece of hot dog meat, which burned his tongue. He didn't hear what Wang Zhen said clearly, so he hurriedly flattered him.
He quickly said: "Yes, yes, that's right."
Wang Zhen frowned, said "Huh?" and looked over with disgust.
The two guards in black standing behind him immediately stepped forward, lifted the unfortunate man's arms and carried him out.
There was still dog meat in his mouth, and he begged loudly for mercy. He knew Wang Zhen's methods.
After a while, the guard came in with a wooden tray. On the wooden tray was a head. It was the stall owner who had just been dragged out. There was still unchewed meat in his mouth, which looked very scary.
.
Everyone present was stunned and did not dare to speak. When Wang Zhen saw everyone's reaction, he felt very happy. His soft eyes swept over everyone, carefully admiring their fear and submission.
He has been pursuing becoming a high official since he was a child. What he wants is this kind of pleasure that everyone is afraid of. He pointed to a person on the table and said: "His position will be yours from now on."
The accused fan was so happy that he came to the center on the spot and kowtowed three times: "Thank you, Eunuch, for the promotion!"
"This dog should have died long ago!"
"My father-in-law is wise!"
"My father-in-law has a sharp eye. He killed a fool and promoted a talented person!"
The flattering sounds around him sounded like drum beats again. Wang Zhen drank so hard that he felt dizzy and filled with joy.
He had placed his own people in important positions in the Ming Dynasty. Wang Zhen simply felt that he was more majestic than the emperor.
So what if those people with big headscarves worked hard to study and passed the Jinshi examination? They are not just dogs under the men's hands.
Wang Zhen thought viciously that he had failed in many tests and had an indescribable dislike for orthodox civil servants.
There is more or less some jealousy mixed in with it.
Later, Wang Zhen saw that he could not pass the imperial examination, and even had difficulty in passing the imperial examination. He was addicted to officialdom and decided to give himself a hard job.
The man gritted his teeth, cut himself off, and entered the palace to serve the then crown prince Zhu Qizhen.
Unexpectedly, this time he really got the better of him. Wang Zhen didn't feel that he was at a disadvantage. He felt that his life was very inspiring and touching.
This powerful eunuch held up his wine glass and smiled wildly, "Everyone, do it!"
At this time, in the palace and harem, a woman was leaning on the bed, looking at the moonlight outside the window in a daze.
This woman is about 20 years old, with picturesque eyebrows, snow-white skin, plump and soft figure, and a bit of sadness between her eyebrows.
“I don’t know how my family is doing.”
The beauty in a daze is Jia Yuanchun, the daughter of the Jia family.
She took out some money and asked her family to go to Qingxu Temple for a funeral ceremony, but later she heard that the Taoist priest who had become a monk for her grandfather had died in Qingxu Temple.
That old Taoist Zhang was an old acquaintance of the family. When I was a child, I would often be carried by adults to see him. At that time, my grandmother always asked her to call him grandpa, and the people in the Jia family regarded him as one of their own.
Moreover, Zhang Laodao is not an ordinary person. His magic power is very powerful, he has been granted the title of emperor by two generations of emperors, and his Taoism is unfathomable.
He was such a powerful person, but as soon as he asked someone to make a funeral ceremony for his family, his death was such an ominous sign, which made her frightened and she often missed her family.
Jia Yuanchun knew that his family was not as simple as it seemed, and there was a secret hidden in the family.
The bright moon in the sky is like a piece of flawless jade. Jia Yuanchun can't help but be fascinated by it.
She was looking at the scenery from the window and didn't notice that someone was looking at her through the window.
