Chapter nine hundred and ninety-eight of the countermeasures?
Xuantang got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and said without any surprise: "This poor monk is here to save the life of King Qin."
Lin Ze had a strange look on his face and said, "Has Master Xuantang been reading too much "Chronicles of Characters of the Spring and Autumn Period" recently?"
The "Characters of the Spring and Autumn Period" spoken by Lin Ze is an article in the "Lu Spring and Autumn Annals" compiled by Lu Chunqiu and his disciples. It records the deeds of many famous people during the period of chaos among various countries.
It is a bit similar to a certain novel that Lin Ze read later. Those people are the best at alarmism, intimidating the monarch of a country with lies, and then taking the opportunity to enter the officialdom in exchange for glory and wealth.
Among them, the most famous, mysterious and successful one is the legendary disciple of Guigu.
"Chronicles of Characters in the Spring and Autumn Period" records that there were four self-proclaimed disciples of Guigu, and each of them became the prime minister of a country by taking advantage of the atmosphere of the time.
As the saying goes, if you don't have any profit, don't start early. This is what Xuantang said when he first came up. Lin Ze had reason to suspect that he wanted to use this to gain some benefit.
Xuantang was very tough: "If the King of Qin feels that the poor monk is making alarmist remarks, he can slap the poor monk to death and leave him alone."
"oh"
Lin Ze responded and slapped Xuantang hard with his palm, knocking him into the ground like planting a tree. In addition, with Xuantang as the center, the entire floor with a radius of ten feet was shattered.
Lin Ze took a step forward, looked down at Xuantang, and said indifferently: "I'm sorry, I couldn't slap you to death, do you still need to continue?"
Xuantang's head was buzzing, and he was completely confused. How could there be such a person in the world? Are they just pretending to be indifferent to life and death and don't understand?
Of course Lin Ze knew that Xuantang was pretending, and this kind of pretense would make people feel very happy. On the contrary, the person who was being pretended would be very unhappy.
Fortunately or unfortunately, the person being pretended to be was Lin Ze. What was even more unfortunate was that the avenue that Lin Ze understood was the avenue of self. The core is that one's own happiness is the most important, so Xuantang was photographed underground.
After a while, Xuantang regained his composure and said, whether in praise or sarcasm, "The King of Qin is indeed an extraordinary person."
Lin Ze said casually: "Can ordinary people become human emperors? Can ordinary people be promoted to the third realm of heaven and human beings before they become emperors?"
"I have always known that I am not an ordinary person. Master Xuantang does not need to emphasize this point. Let's get back to the topic, why is Master here?"
"Again, if the Master can't give a reasonable explanation, just stay in Chang'an. The palace just happened to be rebuilt, and the palace still lacks a chief steward to command the chamberlains and maids."
"I think a talent like Master Xuantang is quite suitable. I wonder if Master Xuantang would be willing to stay?"
The last two sentences, Lin Ze even said from the bottom of his heart, Xuantang has always been in charge of Buddhist affairs. Although he has not made too amazing achievements, he has managed everything in an orderly manner.
In other words, being a eunuch-in-chief is more than enough.
Xuantang's expression froze when he heard this, and he smiled unnaturally and said: "Thanks to the King of Qin, he thinks highly of the poor monk. It's just that the poor monk is a monk and is not suitable to serve the King of Qin. I hope the King of Qin will not be surprised."
"The poor monk is indeed here to solve hidden dangers for the King of Qin. Has the King of Qin ever heard about the disappearance of Avalokitesvara?"
Lin Ze was moved when he heard this: "What do you know?"
Xuantang did not answer, but looked down at himself, who was "planted" in the ground, and asked calmly: "Can the King of Qin dig the poor monk out of the ground first?"
"oh"
Lin Ze responded and smacked his palm again, causing dust to fly. Xuantang bounced out of the ground like a ball and landed on the ground.
"Tell me, I've been very busy recently, and I'm not in the mood to listen to you hemming and hawing. Say what you have to say directly."
Lin Ze was telling the truth. He was anxious to ask Chen Ping about the general situation of the implementation of the New Deal, and thus calculated how much luck the New Deal would bring to him if it were implemented throughout the world.
In order to achieve the goal as soon as possible, should we increase investment and further speed up the process?
No one can have too much of a universal magic weapon like luck.
Xuantang's whole body vibrated, he shook the dust off the milky white monk's robe, and said seriously: "The disappearance of Avalokitesvara has something to do with the Buddha."
Lin Ze was unmoved: "What then?"
Xuantang was a little surprised and said: "King Qin doesn't seem to be surprised about this. Is it because someone told you?"
Lin Ze said calmly: "More than ten days ago, Maitreya wrote a secret letter to me, telling me about this matter. For this reason, I also brought Maitreya Ksitigarbha to Chang'an to enjoy the glory and wealth."
"If Xuantang comes here just to talk about this matter, I'm afraid he won't be able to change his fate of staying as the chief eunuch."
Xuantang was a little surprised at first, and then returned to normal: "Of course it's more than that. If the poor monk said that the disappearance of Avalokitesvara was actually caused by the Buddha and Maitreya Ksitigarbha."
"Even when Maitreya Ksitigarbha came to Chang'an, it seemed that the King of Qin took the initiative, but in fact it was the Buddha who sent them here to wait for an opportunity to deal with the King of Qin and the Taoist Palace. Will the King of Qin believe it?"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Ze and Zhuang Zhou looked at each other with a little shock on their brows. Buddha teamed up with Maitreya Ksitigarbha to assassinate Guanyin, and even sent them to lurk in Chang'an to wait for the opportunity?
Zhuang Zhou wanted to ask, but Lin Ze beat him to it and said, "What you see and hear is difficult to determine whether it is true or false. What the Master said, I want to see complete and conclusive evidence."
"Otherwise, how would I know that Master Xuantang is not using counterintuitive tactics?"
If Lin Ze hadn't read Romance of the Three Kingdoms and knew how Cai Mao and Zhang Yun died, he might have believed Xuantang on the spot.
After all, after believing in Xuantang, Lin Ze had enough reasons to convince Zhuang Zhou to suppress Maitreya Ksitigarbha and even send them to reincarnation.
But Lin Ze did not do this. You must know that Cao Cao killed Cai Mao and Zhang Yun because he did not understand the situation and did not weigh the pros and cons. As a result, due to the lack of naval generals who were good at fighting, he was defeated miserably and almost lost his life.
Xuantang said solemnly: "What if the poor monk told the King of Qin that Guanyin did not die on the spot after being tricked, but escaped with a single breath, met the poor monk, and told the poor monk himself?"
Lin Ze said calmly: "How much benefit does the death of Maitreya Ksitigarbha bring to you? Can you soar into the sky with your exclusive Buddhist luck?"
Xuantang frowned slightly and said: "The King of Qin thought that the poor monk was trying to steal the fortune of Buddhism, so he falsely accused Maitreya and Ksitigarbha?"
Lin Ze spread his hands and said: "Maybe not, you may just want to avenge Buddha, for example, cut these people who betrayed Buddhism into pieces. Other than that, I can't think of any other reason."
"After all, you are Buddha's confidant, responsible for integrating Buddhist resources and fully supporting South Vietnam's struggle for world hegemony."
"Anyone who knows that the Master was kneeling and prostrating in front of the Buddha statue one moment and suddenly betrayed the Buddha the next time will be suspicious."
Xuantang asked back: "Then why can't it be a poor monk who wants to cooperate with the Taoist palace?"
