"So, this is also the reason why the master suddenly came out and tried to promote the cooperation between Shaolin and this palace?" Li Chen asked.
Jie Wang clasped his hands together, bowed slightly and said: "The poor monk has spent hundreds of years in vain and has already seen life and death. For the Buddhist disciples, death is just another reincarnation. If you don't know the way and don't become a Buddha, then you will be in countless times.
It is a process of rediscovering the true self in the cycle of reincarnation.”
"It's just that this time is about to end and the next reincarnation will begin."
"Looking back on the past, this poor monk was abandoned by his parents when he was young, and he has been living in the temple since he was a child. This has been a mess for more than a hundred years. Although he eats fast and chants Buddha every day, he never understands the true meaning. I feel very ashamed when I think about it."
"This poor monk has never done any great things in his life. Looking back on the past, it has no benefit to the country, no contribution to the country, and no contribution to Buddhism. He only practiced kung fu, but every meal after meal is ultimately a debt.
There are many, so the poor monk hopes to find a way for Buddhism to survive at the last moment."
"Fortunately, His Highness is an enlightened king. With His Majesty's promise, the poor monk passed away sitting on the ground with a smile on his face."
Li Chen looked at Ji Wang quietly and listened carefully to what he said.
Regardless of his stance, at least Jie Wang’s innocent heart towards Buddhism is something Li Chen admires.
Speaking of this, Li Chen also confirmed that the life span of Ji Forget will indeed not be long. If he passes away in one month, it will not be delayed until the next month.
But at the last moment of his life, this old monk threw away his reserve and status, and traveled between the East Palace and the North and South Shaolin. Indeed, he did not have any selfish interests in it, and he was completely dedicated to serving the public good.
"I'll take care of you."
Li Chen decided to give the old monk a good result at the last moment of his life.
"I will not discount what I promised you before, but as I said again, Shaolin can be the number one in the world of righteousness, or it can open the gates of temples and accept believers from all over the world, but all of this must be under the management of the imperial court."
"The imperial court will not interfere in Shaolin's internal affairs, let alone control how Shaolin eats food and chants Buddha's name. However, the imperial court will definitely guard against anything Shaolin should not do and will kill those who cross the line. This is the same for all sects in the world.
, Taoism is the same."
"Amitabha."
Jie Wang stood up, clasped his hands and bowed to Li Chen, and said: "What Your Highness said, the poor monk has already told the truth. The poor monk believes that at least within twenty years of the poor monk's death, no one in Shaolin will violate it. From now on, the poor monk will not be able to see it."
In the future, if future generations insist on doing the opposite, I will be helpless, so please just act in accordance with today's agreement."
"very good."
Li Chen nodded and said, "In that case, let's make it a deal."
Jie Wang said: "Your Highness can call upon those eight hundred warrior monks at any time. Each of them is an elite member of Shaolin, and they have practiced Shaolin battle formations. Their tacit cooperation with each other has been accumulated over the years. If Your Highness uses them,
It can be used as a surprise weapon."
"in addition......"
Jie Wang paused, and seemed to have made up his mind. He said, "Although my time is short, I can still make a move for His Highness."
"Within this month, the poor monk will not leave the Gyeonggi area. The poor monk will stay at Baima Temple to give lectures. Within this month, if His Highness needs it, he can send someone to inform the poor monk."
