The empress saw that Mojie's temperament had obviously changed. He was no longer as arrogant as when he first arrived, and there was a hint of indifference in his eyes.
It seems that Long Chen's plan worked...
"This trip allowed me to see the profoundness of Xixia Buddhism. Although I have some differences with your master Kongji, I also disagree with many of his opinions."
"But I am very optimistic about you. You are talented, intelligent and have a bright future. You will become a great person in the future."
"I hope you can save all sentient beings with a compassionate heart, and don't be as aggressive as Kongji, which has lost the true meaning of Buddhism."
The empress praised Mojie greatly, which not only surprised the ministers of the court, but also puzzled Pu Xuan and Hong Zhi. Why did the empress think so highly of Mojie?
Mojie put his hands together and bowed: "The poor monk thanks the Holy One for his praise."
The empress nodded slightly and said: "Today you will return to Xixia. I have a letter of credence. Please give it to the King of Xixia."
Yingfeng walked down holding a box and handed it to Mojie.
Mojie received the box respectfully.
"I won't send you off, General Long will send you out of the city."
Long Chen came out and bowed: "Wei minister, I accept the decree."
Mojie and the other three bowed again and turned around to leave the Daming Palace.
Outside the palace, the Xixia delegation was ready.
Pu Xuan and Hong Zhi were still clearing the road ahead, while reciting Buddhist sutras and distributing amulets to the people on both sides of the road.
Long Chen and Mojie were riding side by side behind.
"The young monk has read the scriptures sent by the general. The meanings in them are really exquisite."
"People say that the young monk is born with wisdom. Compared with the general, he is like a fluorescent light than the bright moon."
These days, Mojie stayed at home and studied the scriptures sent by Long Chen. He felt that a new world had opened up.
"I don't understand Buddhism either. These are just my own experiences. The master laughed at me."
Mojie shook his head and said: "General, why should you be too modest? With your wisdom, if you become a monk in Xixia, you will definitely become a Buddha and become an ancestor. I am afraid that even my master can surpass you."
Long Chen felt like shit in his heart: Is this a pushback?
Long Chen wanted to win over Mojie to rebel, but Mojie in turn wanted to win over Long Chen. This move was very good.
"Master is over-reputed. I'm just a layman. I know some truths and have understood some things, but I can't do it."
"Just like many people know right from wrong, but still make mistakes, they just can't see through it. That's the case for me."
"The Master has understanding and determination, and sooner or later he will become a Buddha. When the time comes, he will listen to the Master's teachings."
It's already very uncomfortable to be a fake eunuch, but I would never do it to be a monk.
Three Thousand Worlds of Human World is so wonderful. How can we become a monk without so many beauties enjoying it?
"It's a pity that if the general can see through the world of mortals, Buddhists all over the world will worship under the general's sect."
Mojie sincerely admired Long Chen as a Buddhist genius, a genius rarely seen in a thousand years.
"Master, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
"General, just say it's okay."
Long Chen hesitated for a long time and then said slowly: "I know that Master Kongji is your master and has profound attainments in Buddhism, but what he said may not be correct."
"Since Buddhism is based on compassion, Master Kongji incited people to fight, which is really against the meaning of compassion in Buddhism."
"If the Master can find another way to save all sentient beings from water and fire, this merit will be enough to become a Buddha."
Mojie was shocked. This time he did not curse, but remained silent.
During these days, he also questioned the Buddhist teachings of emptiness and felt that there was something wrong with it.
But the authority of Monk Kongji was too great, and Mojie did not dare to say anything.
The farewell team left the west gate and arrived at the Ten Mile Pavilion. Long Chen stopped and said, "I'll see you off after a long journey, but you'll have to say goodbye eventually, so I'll send you here."
Mojie saluted Long Chen: "See you later, General."
Long Chen sighed slightly: "I would like to send the Master a farewell verse."
Mojie said solemnly: "General, please tell me. I will bear this in mind, young monk."
Long Chen chanted slowly: "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand; there is nothing in the first place, so how can it cause dust."
Mojie's heart was greatly shocked, he looked at Long Chen with a dull expression, and repeated: "There is nothing in the first place, so where can there be dust..."
Long Chen bowed his hands and said, "Master, go slowly. See you later."
After saying that, Long Chen didn't delay and took the people back to the capital.
"Master nephew, why are you so dazed?"
Pu Xuan returned from the front of the team, saw Mojie in a daze, and asked strangely.
Mojie woke up from his immersion and said, "It's okay, let's go."
The group of people slowly returned to Xixia.
....
After returning to the capital, Long Chen returned to the palace to handle business, and then returned to Commander Long's Mansion.
After the incident was over, Long Chen stayed at home, playing with Xiang Ning, teasing Xiao'e and Xiao Daiyu, and asking Su Yourong for a nudge when nothing happened. He lived a comfortable life.
The cavalry of the South Camp are training. The high bridge saddle makes the cavalry walk on smooth ground and their combat effectiveness increases sharply.
....
Mojie and his party returned to Xixia and entered the palace of Xingqing City.
King Shi Le is sitting on the throne, and Monk Kongji is standing beside him in red clothes.
Standing in the hall was a man with a full beard, half of his face covered by his beard. He was about 30 years old.
This person is Shi Haoran, the prince of Xixia, who is in the middle stage of Emperor Wu.
Behind him stands a young man with a hooked nose and brown eyes. This man is the second prince Shi Yuncheng, who is in the middle stage of the king.
After that came Jing Tianlie and Jing Feng, who were among the generals of Xixia.
Opposite are several monks wearing cassocks. The first one has heavy eyes and a round head. This person is Shi Ming, the Fudo Ming King of Zhaoti Temple. He belongs to the royal family and is in the early stage of the Martial Emperor.
Behind him is a man with triangular eyes and raised mouth corners. His face is very ferocious. This man is the Yaksha Ming King of Zhaoti Temple, Ma Zun, who is in the early stage of the Martial Emperor.
These people are the main generals of Xixia.
"Greetings to the King."
Mojie, Puxuan, and Hongzhi paid homage to Shi Le at the same time.
Shi Le chuckled and said: "I have received the Flying Eagle's message. You have done a good job this time, especially Mojie. You can make Long Chengen take the initiative to admit defeat and bring glory to Daxia."
After the competition, Pu Xuan wrote a letter and sent it back to the Xingqing Palace. Shi Le and Kong Ji already knew the result.
"Master, you have trained a good disciple. I, Xixia Buddhism, will definitely be able to dominate the world's believers."
Shi Le was very happy.
Monk Kongji chuckled and said: "They are all cultivated by the king, and the poor monk dare not claim credit."
The Crown Prince Shi Haoran said with a smile: "There is no need for the Imperial Master to be modest. Mojie is your disciple, and he was trained by you. This time it is the Imperial Master's credit."
Mojie never answered the call. Monk Kongji thought that Mojie had lost the competition and was unhappy.
"Mojie, it's not surprising that you lost to Long Chengen. Don't take it too seriously. Many heroes have been defeated by him. You won't be considered a loser in this competition."
When Jing Tianlie and Jing Feng heard this, they cursed Kong Ji in their hearts.
How many heroes in the world have been defeated by Long Chengen? Why don't you just point at us and name them!
Mojie bowed and said, "Disciple knows."
With that said, he presented a box to Shi Le: "The Empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty has a reply with her credential. Please take a look at it."
Monk Kongji took the box, took out his credentials and handed it to Shi Le.
Shi Le opened his credentials and found nothing more than some polite words inside.
"Mojie has made great achievements this time on his mission to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Let's celebrate it well."
Mojie and the other three people bowed and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty."
Xingqing City celebrated immediately. Everyone knew that Mojie had defeated Da Zhou and felt proud and proud.
The night banquet in the palace was very lively. Pu Xuan and Hong Zhi were very happy. Monk Kongji was also in high spirits, but Mojie looked gloomy.
Monk Kongji asked Pu Xuan: "Brother, what happened to Mojie in the capital?"
