My wife is Wu Zetian

"Master Xuanzang, trust me, he is really Tang Monk."

Li Yanran also sneaked in, heard that it was Master Xuanzang who was summoned, and when she looked closely, she saw a monk in cassock with white eyebrows walking among the forbidden army, not far away was where her father was.

"Sister, this master Xuanzang is a capable person. Can you imagine that he can retrieve countless Buddhist scriptures from Tianzhu, and he can be called a holy monk."

Wu Zetian admired Buddhism, and Li Hong naturally had a deep understanding of Buddhism under the influence of his ears and eyes. Not to mention the great abilities of these eminent monks, he could even recite some Buddhist scriptures.

"Of course I know that Xuanzang is a capable person, how can you say that?"

Li Yanran directly hit Li Hong on the head.

Can I still not know Master Xuanzang?
Tang Seng of later generations, Tang Sanzang, the best enemy assist in Journey to the West, if he didn't even know about it, Li Yanran would be in vain.

"Sister, is this the excitement you're talking about?"

Li Hong glanced at the situation in front of him, and couldn't help being bored for a while.

"You will know later, just wait and see."

Li Yanran didn't even look at Li Hong, she just wanted to know if Master Xuanzang could catch her father's move next time.

Xuanzang, step by step, slowly came to Li Zhi's holy driver.

"Amitabha."

"Poor monk Xuanzang, the emperor is polite."

Xuanzang looked at Li Zhi who was surrounded by everyone, and he also chanted the Buddha's name and performed a Buddhist ceremony.

"Bold Xuanzang, Your Majesty ordered all the monks and laymen of the Tang Dynasty to kneel before seeing the King, why didn't you kneel?"

Xu Jingzong glanced at Xuanzang and directly reprimanded him loudly.

It's not that he has ambiguity about Buddhism, but now that he is the eagle dog of the king, he naturally wants to stand for Li Zhi.

"A monk, a person outside Fang, has nothing to do with the world. I believe that His Majesty is magnanimous and will not criticize a monk for this."

Xuanzang responded with a low eyebrow, and directly brought up the exposition from the Huiyuan monk.

It's been a long time since the people outside Fang did not obey Wanghua. If you want him to submit now, at least it won't work on his side.

"If you don't respect the king before you become a monk, it's your majesty's pity for the monks in the world. But since your majesty has an order, it's inevitable for monks and laymen to obey the imperial order. Do you want to resist the order?"

Xu Jingzong once again yelled at Xuanzang, and now their trump card has not been revealed yet, you, great monk, have already lost.

"Amitabha."

Regarding Xu Jingzong's aggressiveness, Xuanzang didn't argue, he just chanted the Buddha's name and didn't reply, but he didn't kneel down and salute Li Zhi either.

"Xuanzang, you."

"Xu Jingzong, let's do this first."

Wu Zetian glanced at Xu Jingzong, and asked him to stop directly.

Xuanzang is an eminent monk and powerful, how could you treat him like this, it really is unreasonable.

"Okay, let's do this first, Xuanzang, I'm here to ask you, why did you suddenly bring the monks from the Great Mercy Temple out of the temple?"

Li Zhi glanced at Wu Zetian and then at Xuanzang.

"Your Majesty, the poor monk just happened to hear that a small remote temple named Santai Temple has been treated unfairly.

Yishui, the abbot of the temple, was brutally beaten, and half of the temple was destroyed. Out of desperation, he had no choice but to go out to ask for an explanation for the monks. "

Xuanzang once again performed the Buddhist ceremony to Li Zhi, and told about the incident at Santai Temple.

"Santai Temple, hehe, what a Santai Temple, does Master Xuanzang recognize Santai Temple as a Buddhist monastery?"

Hearing that Xuanzang actually came for Santai Temple, Li Zhi's eyes were full of smiles.

"In the whole world, all temples are pure places of Buddhism, as long as they have Buddha statues and monks, they are places of Buddhism.

I also hope that the emperor can give justice to Santai Temple and the monks all over the world. "

Xuanzang looked at Li Zhi and already had a bad feeling.

But now that things have become like this, if he doesn't ask for an explanation, this time it will be true, and the emperor may not know what will go wrong.

"Have you heard, our master Xuanzang has already admitted that Santai Temple is a Buddhist temple."

Li Zhi glanced at the officials around him, already trembling with excitement.

Originally, he was still thinking about how to advance the search of the temple, but now that you put the knife up to your neck, don't blame yourself.

Hearing Li Zhi's words, all the officials smiled, frowned, and remained silent.

But without exception, everyone knew that Xuanzang and Fomen jumped in by themselves.

"Xu Jingzong, please show our Great Master Xuanzang what you found in Santai Temple."

With a wave of Li Zhi's hand, Xu Jingzong sent all the evidence to Xuanzang's side.

Xuanzang was dumbfounded when he picked up the account book and Yishui's testimony. Even though he was familiar with Buddhist scriptures and was proficient in Buddhist principles, the Buddha's heart trembled and he couldn't accept it.

It never occurred to him that Santai Temple was such a place.

The Buddhist sect was so clean that it was abruptly turned into a Shura field by the other party, and a dojo for evil spirits in the world.

If Li Zhi told about the situation of Santai Temple first, he would absolutely refuse. It is not just a random person who builds a few Buddha statues and wears cassocks to be a Buddhist.

Well now, I have firmly insisted that Santai Temple is the place of Buddhism, but this meeting revealed this, it is really a sinister human heart and even more evil spirits.

"Amitabha."

Xuanzang clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name again, but there was no trace of emotion in his eyes.

"Xuanzang, what else do you have to say now? Buddhism is so unbearable, is it worthy of the worship of the Tang Dynasty and the belief of the people?"

Li Zhi shook his head sadly and asked Xuanzang.

"Son of Heaven, I still want to hear what the poor monk said. Although the Santai Temple is unbearable, the Buddha is there, and the people worship and wash themselves. That's enough.

As for those evil spirits, whether they are monks or not is still unknown, and I hope that the emperor can hand them over to Da Ci'en Temple for inspection by us, and they will definitely give Datang justice. "

Xuanzang is Xuanzang after all, he only talks about the enlightenment of Buddhism, not about the filth of Santai Temple.

At the same time, he also made a concession. As long as he took Yishui into his hands and kept the reputation of Buddhism, he was willing to give up some things, such as the right to dispose of Yishui.

"Yishui was the mastermind of the missing child case near Chang'an ten years ago. He is a sinner of Tang Dynasty, the sinner of those who lost their children's parents. How can such a person be handed over to Buddhism?

The minister disagreed. "

Xu Jingzong knelt directly on the ground and saluted Li Zhi.

Now that the knife has been stretched out, if the handle of the knife is caught by the Buddhist gate, it will be difficult to make any progress in this matter.

"Son of Heaven, no matter whether a piece of water is good or evil, the cassock is always on you.

The poor monk doesn't want to confront the laws of the Tang Dynasty, but just hopes that the emperor will let me do self-examination in Buddhism first.

The Buddha is the common people, and if he hurts the Buddhist sect, he fears that the common people will feel resentment. "

At this point, Xuanzang knew that he could no longer back down, otherwise Li Zhi would really attack Buddhism, and it would be a catastrophe for Buddhism.

He couldn't let this happen, even if he was facing Li Zhi, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he couldn't back down.

Taking a step back is not only the sea and the sky, but also the abyss.

"Are you threatening me?"
