Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

However, this little boy outside Chang'an City actually knew his own name. This was not easy and a bit weird.

"Little prodigy, how do you know my name?" Li Chunfeng asked with some curiosity.

"Lord Li is the Grand Historian, so it is reasonable for me to know this." Chen Maosheng responded, and at the same time, he couldn't help but look at Li Chunfeng carefully. Deep in his heart, a bold idea quietly emerged.

"Is this Tang Dynasty the Tang Dynasty I know?"

"But no matter what the Tang Dynasty looks like, a Taoist priest like Li Chunfeng, who is famous throughout the ages, must have his strengths and must have mastered some unique skills. Maybe I can learn a thing or two from him?" Chen Maosheng thought to himself.

Li Chunfeng was so perceptive that he could see the untruth in Chen Maosheng's words at a glance. Chen Maosheng's facial expression and tone lacked sincerity.

However, this did not affect Li Chunfeng's interest in Chen Maosheng. On the contrary, he became more curious about this mysterious child.

The next moment, Li Chunfeng smiled and asked softly, "Little prodigy, are you born with wisdom?"

"Huh?" Chen Maosheng was shocked when he heard Li Chunfeng's words.

He still knew the meaning of the word "Suhui". Suhui refers to the wisdom brought from the previous life.

In other words, people like Chen Maosheng who retain some memories of their past lives after reincarnation can be said to have "pre-life wisdom."

Now that Li Chunfeng had revealed it, Chen Maosheng could hardly conceal the surprise on his face.

Seeing this, Li Chunfeng became more certain in his heart, and couldn't help but say to himself: "It seems that the little prodigy is indeed a person with innate wisdom. I wonder if you were a master in your previous life, or if you have accumulated many virtues."

In fact, past wisdom is not the same as simple reincarnation. In most cases, it is because one has practiced in the previous life or accumulated a lot of merit. Therefore, after reincarnation, one often carries the wisdom of the previous life.

After all, there are only a few people who can perfectly remember all the memories of their previous lives. Therefore, Li Chunfeng did not think deeply in that direction.

Listening to Li Chunfeng's self-talk, Chen Maosheng was even more surprised, because it was not uncommon for Li Chunfeng to speak with the impression of wisdom.

"Master Li." Chen Maosheng couldn't help but speak, "Some fragments of memory do emerge inexplicably in my mind. Perhaps this is what you call wisdom."

This time, Chen Maosheng did not continue to deny it, but chose to admit it in an ambiguous way.

Li Chunfeng nodded slightly and said, "This is a manifestation of innate wisdom. Therefore, the little prodigy can often understand many things in this life at a glance without feeling unfamiliar."

Chen Maosheng then asked, "Is it common to find people like me who have innate wisdom?"

"It's not common, but it can't be considered rare either." Li Chunfeng smiled and explained patiently, "However, anyone who possesses innate wisdom is a rare talent. They are extraordinary in this life because of their practice or merits in their previous lives."

Chen Maosheng nodded silently, but he felt something was wrong. This Tang Dynasty seemed to be quite different from the one he knew.

Even in modern society, the concept of innate wisdom is nothing more than a mysterious legend. How come it seems to be not a rare thing in the Tang Dynasty?
At this moment, a guess quietly emerged in Chen Maosheng's mind, and he couldn't help but ask: "Master, is it true that there are immortals and gods in this world?"

"What are you talking about, kid?" Before Li Chunfeng could respond, Chen Maosheng's father in this life, Chen Shi, spoke first, "Of course there are immortals and gods in this world!"

"Your father, I, saw with my own eyes outside Chang'an City that year, a fairy riding a dragon ascending to heaven, and a Bodhisattva standing on a lotus platform with golden light all over his body!"

"Huh?" Chen Maosheng was stunned, then turned to look at his father and asked in surprise, "Dad, have you really seen an immortal?"

"Of course it's true!" Chen Shi said proudly, "I was only a few years old at that time, and I followed your grandfather to Chang'an City to buy some things."

"Before entering the city, I saw immortals riding dragons to heaven and Bodhisattvas standing on lotus pedestals in Chang'an. That scene is truly unforgettable."

Chen Maosheng was stunned and muttered to himself in disbelief: "Is this true..."

At this moment, Chen Maosheng's three views seemed to have been strongly impacted, and there was a tendency for them to collapse.

Ever since he awakened his memory, he always thought that he was living in a normal Tang Dynasty world.

But unexpectedly, not only did he meet Li Chunfeng today, but even his own father had seen immortals and Bodhisattvas with his own eyes.

It seems that the Tang Dynasty is far from being as simple as it seems!
At the side, Li Chunfeng smiled slightly and said slowly: "What Mr. Chen saw should be the scene when the water and land ceremony was held in Chang'an City more than ten years ago."

"At that time, the Water and Land Dharma Assembly was being held. At the end of the Dharma Assembly, the Taoist master of my sect and the Buddhist Guanyin Bodhisattva had a fierce debate in the sky above the Tang Dynasty, and then both left."

Li Chunfeng said with some emotion: "That day, many people in Chang'an were fortunate enough to hear and witness this grand spectacle."

Chen Maosheng was completely dumbfounded.

"Water and Land Dharma Assembly? Isn't this the Dharma Assembly where Tang Sanzang made his debut in Journey to the West?"

"The Taoist master? Who is this person?"

Chen Maosheng's heart was in a mess at this moment.

On the one hand, the familiar "Water and Land Ceremony" made him wonder whether this was the world of Journey to the West.

But on the other hand, the "Master of Taoism" mentioned by Li Chunfeng made him feel deeply confused.

"What exactly is the Water and Land Dharma Assembly? Who is the Taoist leader?" Chen Maosheng couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked.

"Water and Land Dharma Assembly..." Chen Maosheng's question evoked deep memories for Li Chunfeng.

There was a look of reminiscence in his eyes, and he said slowly: "In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed." Li Chunfeng spoke slowly while recalling the water and land ceremony at that time.

"More than ten years ago, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty felt that the resentment in the world was difficult to eliminate and wronged souls were wandering everywhere, so he decided to hold a 'Water and Land Dharma Assembly' to find a monk with the most noble virtues to eliminate the resentment between heaven and earth."

“So, the water and land ceremony was held with great fanfare.”

"Thousands of monks from across the Tang Dynasty participated in this water and land ceremony. Among them, Xuanzang, a high monk from Jinshan Temple, stood out and became the host of the water and land ceremony."

"This..." After hearing this, Chen Maosheng was completely convinced that this scene was the opening of "Journey to the West" and the reason why Tang Sanzang went to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures.

"Could it be that the Tang Dynasty in this world is really the Tang Dynasty in Journey to the West?" This thought popped up in Chen Maosheng's mind. But in the blink of an eye, he denied this guess.

"No, if this is the world of Journey to the West, then what about the immortals riding dragons and the Taoist masters?"

Although he was full of doubts, Chen Maosheng calmed down at this moment. He quietly waited for Li Chunfeng to continue.

As expected, Li Chunfeng continued to recall: "At that time, it happened that today's Taoist master came to Chang'an City."

"At that time, he was not yet the Taoist master, but he was already famous and was known as the Taoist son."

"And the eminent monk Xuanzang, because of his profound Buddhist teachings, impressed all the monks in the world and was also given the title of 'Son of Buddha'."

"Master of Taoism today, disciple of Taoism in the past?" Chen Maosheng was even more confused. He understood and knew Xuanzang's title of Buddhist disciple. However, when it came to titles like "Master of Taoism" and "Disciple of Taoism", Chen Maosheng was completely confused and had no idea why.

"The immortal your father witnessed riding a dragon to heaven was none other than the Taoist disciple of the past." Li Chunfeng said slowly.

Chen Maosheng couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked quickly, "Taoism? Who is he? Why did he get such an honorific title?"

Li Chunfeng shook his head slightly and explained: "Xuanzang's title of Buddhist disciple is the real title. But the title of Taoist disciple is not that simple."

"Not a title? Then what does it mean?" Chen Maosheng asked subconsciously.

Li Chunfeng looked solemn and said seriously: "Daozi is not a title, but represents an identity."

"Identity?" Chen Maosheng was full of confusion.

"That's right." Li Chunfeng's face was solemn, and he continued, "The identity of Daozi was personally appointed by the Supreme Dao Ancestor, symbolizing the supreme genius and unique existence in the Dao sect."

"Taishang Daozu? Personally appointed?" Chen Maosheng was even more confused when he heard this. Even a legendary being like Taishang Daozu appeared. This world was much more complicated than he had imagined. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This world is really not simple at all..."

Just as Chen Maosheng fell into deep thought, Li Chunfeng spoke again softly, revealing more unknown secrets.

"Daozi Lin Nan is from the country in the Western Regions - Chechi. He is the Grand Master of Chechi."

"He arrived late and stepped into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. He happened to catch up with the water and land ceremony in Chang'an City."

"At that grand gathering, he had a heated debate with Xuanzang on Buddhism and Taoism, which caused a sensation at the time."

Li Chunfeng's words were like a thunderclap that exploded in Chen Maosheng's mind, almost making him lose the ability to think, and his heart was filled with confusion and shock.

"Daozi Lin Nan? The Grand Master of Chechi Kingdom? What is going on?" Chen Maosheng was full of doubts.

On the one hand, he felt unfamiliar with this sudden information; but on the other hand, when he heard the name "Lin Nan", he felt an inexplicable touch in his heart, but he himself could not explain why.

"That's right, Daoist Lin Nan was not from the Tang Dynasty, but from Chechi Country outside the region." Li Chunfeng recalled, "In Chechi Country, Taoism was prevalent, and people respected Taoism and belittled Buddhism. At that time, Lin Nan, who was a great state teacher and a Daoist, came from Chechi Country to the Tang Dynasty with the intention of preaching."

"At the Water and Land Dharma Assembly, he used profound principles to silence the eminent monk Xuanzang."

"Xuan Zang's remarks are like castles in the air, illusory. However, Lin Nan's remarks are rooted in reality and have substance. He uses the example of Chechi Kingdom as evidence, which is irrefutable."

Li Chunfeng vividly described the scene of that year, and then continued: "Afterwards, the Buddhist Guanyin Bodhisattva revealed his true appearance, attracting many monks and the Tang Emperor to worship him. Only the Taoist Lin Nan asked Guanyin Bodhisattva..."

Speaking of this, a leisurely and fascinated look appeared on Li Chunfeng's face. It was obvious that he recalled the original scene and felt touched.

"Unfortunately, Daozi Lin Nan's theory advocated keeping Taoism but not Buddhism. However, the Tang Emperor treated Guanyin Bodhisattva with great respect and courtesy, but ignored Daozi Lin Nan. Therefore, Daozi Lin Nan was furious and rode away on a dragon, returning to Chechi Kingdom, and never set foot in the Tang Dynasty again."

At this point, Li Chunfeng withdrew his thoughts and continued to tell what happened later: "The Tang emperor was influenced by Guanyin Bodhisattva and later sent the eminent monk Xuanzang as a pilgrim to Lingshan in the West to seek Mahayana Buddhist scriptures in order to save all living beings."

"Then, the Emperor of Tang could not forget the grand occasion of Chechi Kingdom, so he sent me to Chechi to seek all kinds of magical objects." Li Chunfeng said with some emotion, "I was away for many years and only returned recently."

As he said this, Li Chunfeng suddenly realized that he seemed to have said too much just now! Logically speaking, he shouldn't reveal so many things to someone he just met. But just now, he couldn't help but say all of this.

"What's going on?" Li Chunfeng suddenly realized this and reflected on himself. Then, he found that the problem was not with him, but with Chen Maosheng. Chen Maosheng seemed to have a natural attraction that made people relax involuntarily. Even Li Chunfeng was in this situation just now, so he revealed so many things unknowingly.

"This little prodigy seems to have ten kinds of strange fruit characteristics." Thinking of this, Li Chunfeng looked at Chen Maosheng again.

He didn't know that this was also the result of the "small reincarnation imprint" in Chen Maosheng's body. Lin Nan planted the small reincarnation imprint for a group of "seeds", which not only allowed them to maintain their wisdom, but also gave them this "protagonist halo", which was also the insurance provided by Lin Nan to protect these seeds. With Lin Nan's cultivation methods and magical powers, it is naturally not something that ordinary people can detect.

Li Chunfeng was quietly tricked at this time, and suddenly realized it, but he was unable to find out the truth. At this time, Chen Maosheng was completely unaware of Li Chunfeng's discovery. There was only one thought left in his mind: "Daozi Lin Nan! Great Master Lin Nan! He is also a time traveler!"

After listening to Li Chunfeng's words, the biggest reaction in Chen Maosheng's mind was that "Lin Nan" was also a time traveler. In fact, he was a senior time traveler. Moreover, this senior time traveler was much better than them! It was so good that Chen Maosheng was a little bit unbelievable. (End of this chapter)
