Chapter seven hundred and forty-ninth for the dead ghost
"Luck?" Lin Ze looked at Xuantang's serious look with a calm expression on his face, but he couldn't help but laugh in his heart: the fox's tail was about to be exposed.
As early as when Xuantang came, Lin Ze knew that the other party was definitely not coming for the Maitreya Temple that was about to be destroyed.
Because it is very simple. Buddhist temples like Maitreya Temple, which seem to be related to the Buddhist master Maitreya Buddha, but are actually hidden in the mountains and forests, have hundreds of Buddhist temples, not to mention many.
Let alone this Maitreya temple, even if there are ten or twenty temples in total, they may not be able to severely damage the vitality of Buddhism.
To put it bluntly, compared to the last time Lin Ze arrested hundreds of thousands of monks at once, it was just the destruction of a few Buddhist temples. It was not worth Xuantang's intervention at all, because it was not time to negotiate yet.
So Xuantang must have other purposes for coming here this time.
Lin Ze had an inquiring look on his face. He hesitated for a while and said, "I don't know much about the theory of luck. I only saw some introductions in some classics. I wonder how the Master can teach me?"
Xuantang smiled slightly and said: "When it comes to the understanding of luck, no one in the world can compare with Buddhism and Taoism. Even Confucianism cannot be praised as Taoism."
"If the Marquis of Shu wants to understand, the young monk is willing to teach you. It's just the theory of luck. It's vast and difficult to understand. The young monk is afraid that he won't be able to explain it clearly even after a while. The young monk sincerely asks the Lord of Shu to move and change places to listen to the young monk's arrival.
."
"After all, there are Eagle Claws under the Emperor Qin's family here. It would be bad if they see it and misunderstand that the Marquis of Shu is colluding with Buddhism."
Lin Ze glanced at the robot camp not far away, chuckled and said: "It's okay, at worst, I will kill someone and silence him afterwards. The mage's head will be enough to prove his innocence to Emperor Qin."
Xuantang's face froze when he heard this, and he laughed dryly and said: "The Lord of Shu is joking, the young monk happens to have a place to stay fifteen miles away, Lord of Shu please."
Xuantang pointed in a direction and flew ahead to lead the way.
Lin Ze followed Xuantang leisurely, and after dozens of breaths, he saw a small temple hidden in the valley.
The small temple is not big, only about a hundred square meters.
There is only one Buddha statue in the front hall. People like Lin Ze who are not familiar with Buddhism cannot recognize which Buddha is enshrined at all.
The only thing that caught Lin Ze's attention was that on the right hand of the Buddha statue holding a flower, there was a lifelike golden cicada, which looked like it was flapping its wings and about to fly.
Lin Ze thought to himself: "Is it possible that the monk enshrined in this temple is the monk who obtained Buddhist scriptures from the West? The timeline is wrong. Isn't that the Tang Dynasty?"
Lin Ze smiled as he thought about it. This Qin State was not even remotely similar to the Qin State in his previous life, except for some matching names.
Maybe the person worshiped in this temple is actually Jin Chanzi. After all, Jin Chanzi was the second disciple of Buddha in Journey to the West. Isn't it normal for someone to worship him?
Following Xuantang to the back hall, Lin Ze saw the old monk Zhen He, whom he had met once.
Zhenhe saw the two people coming in, smiled, and quickly took out two brand new futons from the cabinet and removed the old futons on both sides of the table.
"Go and get some tea, water, fruits and snacks to entertain the distinguished guests," Xuantang told Zhenhe, then he spread his palms flat, pointed at a futon and said to Lin Ze: "The conditions are simple, I hope the Lord of Shu will not dislike it, please sit down.
."
Lin Ze took two steps forward and sat cross-legged. He waved his hand and said, "What's there to dislike? Buddhism is in such a situation now. It's not easy to live in a small temple. How can you ask for too much?"
Xuantang sat down opposite Lin Ze with a calm expression, seemingly not hearing the sarcasm in Lin Ze's words.
I have to admit that since dealing with Lin Ze more often, Xuantang found that his state of mind has improved a lot.
"The princes of Shu know that everything from emperors and princes to traffickers and pawns, and even to dynasties and sects, has destiny."
Xuantang did not continue to be mysterious, but straight to the point.
"However, luck is not static. Therefore, there are traffickers and lackeys who are granted the title of marquis and worship the prime minister, and there are also former princes who become prisoners of the rank. Some people can carry forward the sect, and some can make the orthodoxy disappear."
"If the empire coming from all over the world does not have enough luck to sustain the national destiny, the whole world will rebel and the dynasty will change."
A strange look appeared on Lin Ze's face: "Could it be that the master wants to say that I am the son of fate who is favored by fate?"
Xuantang nodded, then shook his head and said: "To be precise, the Marquis of Shu is the son of Qin's destiny."
Lin Ze raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh, why does the mage think so?"
"Marquis of Shu, please listen to the young monk's detailed explanation."
Xuantang replied and continued: "The kingdoms are fighting, and the destiny of the world does not belong to Qin, but is scattered among the countries. The Qin Emperor came out of nowhere, suppressed the world with force, destroyed the six countries, and unified the destiny
, only then can you conquer the world."
"If the Qin Emperor's government was willing to bring peace to the people and bring the world back to its core, the fortune would naturally be consolidated. But the reality is the opposite. After the Qin Emperor unified the world, he carried out a large-scale construction project, which resulted in the Qin State's continuous corvee and complaints, which led to the dispersion of the fortune and difficulty in consolidating it."
"When the Qin Emperor's government was still there, it was still able to suppress luck, and the country would last forever. The Qin Emperor's sudden disappearance, what would be the consequences? The Marquis of Shu had personal experience, and he should know better than the little monk. The whole world attacked Qin, and all the heroes competed for it."
"Logically speaking, Qin's destruction is a foregone conclusion, but the Marquis of Shu happened to be a factor and forced the Qin State to continue its life until the Qin Emperor returned to control the world with the respect of heaven and man."
"Think carefully, Lord Shu, since the Qin Dynasty was in chaos, have you often turned bad things into good fortune and done things smoothly? If this is not a child of luck, what else is it?"
Lin Ze lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said with a smile on his face: "It seems to make sense. Since I am the son of Qin's destiny, how could I become the scapegoat of Emperor Qin? Please give me an explanation, Master."
Xuantang smiled and said: "Because there are variables, heavenly beings can, to a certain extent, change the fate of ordinary people."
"Between heaven and earth, the most indispensable heaven and earth are the three schools of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism. Soon, heaven and earth from these three schools will descend from heaven."
"Wait a minute," Lin Ze asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Heavens can change other people's luck. How?"
Xuantang said with a serious face: "If a heavenly being has a whim and relies on his supreme cultivation to kill people, destroy sects, overthrow dynasties, and lose his luck, things will naturally change."
When people are gone, luck changes. Lin Ze is speechless when he says this. Monk, do you know that you are holding it in your mouth like this?
Looking at Lin Ze's weird expression, Xuantang didn't know that he was slandering, so he added: "The Lord of Shu must not think that what the young monk said is a bit ridiculous. If it weren't for the help of heaven and man, how can ordinary people dare to guarantee that killing people will destroy the sect?"
Will it definitely succeed?"
Lin Ze finally understood the meaning of Xuantang's words. Ordinary people might miss when trying to assassinate someone with great luck. But if a heavenly being takes action, there is no such thing as a miss.
Lin Ze smiled and said: "The variable that the Master just mentioned is that Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and gods will come and beat me to death?"
Xuantang glanced at Lin Ze, shook his head and said: "When Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism and heavenly beings come, they will only deal with the uncertain state of Qin, but will not deal with the prince of Shu who has great fortune."
"Oh, why is this?" Lin Ze was a little confused.
"Because heavenly beings also possess great luck, if heavenly beings forcibly erase people with great luck, their own luck will also be damaged. If heavenly beings run out of luck, they will also fall."
"Therefore, if the gods want to deal with the Lord of Shu, they will first use other methods to destroy your luck, and then drive you into a place of eternal destruction at a very small price, or even without paying a price."
Speaking of this, Xuantang smiled mysteriously and said: "Does the Lord of Shu know how the great merchants from all over the world turned around and were destroyed within a few decades of their heyday?"
"The plan of heaven and man?" Lin Ze said with a solemn expression.
Xuantang smiled easily and said: "The Marquis of Shu is really extraordinary. He guessed the truth right away."
Then Xuantang stared at Lin Ze closely and said: "The Qin Emperor sent the Marquis of Shu to lead people to deal with Buddhism. He is trying to use your luck to consume the luck of Buddhism."
"This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, it consumes the luck of Buddhism and reduces the threat of Buddhism. On the other hand, by consuming the luck of the Marquis of Shu, it ensures that his luck will not be damaged."
"The luck in the Lord of Shu is indeed huge. It is comparable to Buddhism, just like a firefly is compared to the bright moon. What will happen if the luck in the Lord of Shu is exhausted? Do you need me to remind you?"
Lin Ze's face looked a little ugly. Although Xuantang's words were suspected of sowing discord, they were not necessarily untrue.
Otherwise, why did Emperor Qin have to let him lead hundreds of robots to destroy Buddhism and Confucianism?
Wouldn't it be better if hundreds of thousands of troops marched south?
Seeing this, Xuantang further said: "The Marquis of Shu must have sensed something was wrong, so he disobeyed Emperor Qin's orders and never took action."
"It's a pity that it's useless. Since the Lord of Shu has come to the scene with this name, the destruction of the Buddhist temple will still be blamed on you. You will inevitably be affected by the backlash of Buddhist luck and the loss of your own luck."
"Logically speaking, the backlash of Buddhism's luck will also damage Qin Huangzheng's luck. But since Qin Huangzheng had such a plan, he would not miss it. He must have prepared the corresponding treasure to deceive the secrets of heaven and hide the truth from the sky.
"
"Does the Marquis of Shu dare to say that he is not Emperor Qin's scapegoat?"
Lin Ze didn't say anything for a long time, but his thoughts were running wildly. Is what Xuantang said true or false? If it was true, how could he break the situation?
