After the three of Jiaxiang arrived, Shi Zhixuan didn't talk nonsense, and directly announced the start of the Chang'an Dharma Exchange Conference, first Shi Zhixuan gave a lecture, then the three of Jiaxiang, empty, and finally the abbots of other temples in Chang'an City.

Shi Zhixuan coughed lightly, and slowly began to talk about the scriptures, Richard quickly heard the difference between Shi Zhixuan and Jiaxiang, although they were both preaching, Jiaxiang and the three of them were simply explaining the mysteries of the Buddhist scriptures, whether you believe it or not depends on the individual, as if the silent spring rain slowly seeped into the heart.

And Shi Zhixuan's preaching, just like his evil king's style, there is a faint oppressive force and unique rhythm in his voice, which makes people unconsciously immersed in it, sitting beside him, Richard actually has a trace of impulse to convert to Buddhism in his heart.

Richard was shocked, and secretly pinched himself to sober up, he immediately glanced at the other people in the hall, not many people could still stay awake, except for him, only Jiaxiang and the three of them remained awake.

Among them, Daoxin looked at Shi Zhixuan, who was concentrating on preaching, and a trace of jealousy and murderous intent flashed in his eyes without concealment, Richard was shocked in his heart, and then understood.

Buddhism as a religion, the most important thing is the believers, as long as the believers are still there, Buddhism will never decay, and the centuries-long struggle between Buddhism and the demon religion can actually be regarded as a struggle between two religious ideas. The difference between the two is that Buddhism is a religion that has become a type, whether it is a theoretical system or a very complete religious thought, while the Demon Gate has not yet been formed, their thoughts are mixed and troublesome, but they have not been unified, which can be seen from the fact that Buddhism has always preached that the world Buddhism is one and the Demon Gate has been fighting for many years.

In reality, there is a saying that religion is the opium smoke of the people, from this point of view, Buddhism and the Demon Gate can be compared to two drug dealers, the Buddha family has a mature process of manufacturing high-grade drug purification and perfect sales channels, while the Demon Gate is still in the most primitive stage in terms of manufacturing process and sales channels. This is also why the Daoxin Society is so hostile to Shi Zhixuan.

Shi Zhixuan's current preaching shows the charm or the blunt point is the demagogic power, far more than Buddhism, this is like two drug trafficking groups have been fighting for hundreds of years before, but the most lost is some manpower and arms, and now the Demon Gate suddenly out of a spy Shi Zhixuan sneaked into the Buddhism Gate and stole the production process and sales channels of their drugs, which is completely different from ordinary firefighting, this is digging the root of human life!

If Shi Zhixuan abandons the identity of a great monk and returns to the Demon Gate, it is conceivable that the believers of the Demon Gate in the folk will grow rapidly in a short period of time, and in a few decades, it may reach the point where they can go hand in hand with the Buddhists!

And how could Daoxin, who is dedicated to Buddhism, let all this happen, if it weren't for Richard, if it weren't for Richard in this Daxiong Treasure Palace, Daoxin would probably directly pull Jiaxianghua's heart and the air riot, even if he fought for his life, he would kill Shi Zhixuan!

About half an hour later, when Shi Zhixuan's lecture ended, a little monk ran in quickly from outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall at this time, ran to him and whispered: "Abbot, there is a young man outside the temple who claims to be Li Shimin and says that he wants to find the Ximen benefactor. ”

Shi Zhixuan nodded slightly when he heard this, turned his head to look at Richard, Richard stood up silently, walked to the edge and walked lightly towards the outside of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

After leaving the Mahavira Palace, Richard breathed a sigh of relief, he had a feeling of depression in the Mahavira Hall just now, this kind of formal occasion with bursts of Sanskrit sounds was really not suitable for him.

When he came to the door of the temple, Li Shimin stood at the door with his back straight, and when he saw Richard, she showed a teasing smile and said with a smile: "Brother Ximen, is the Chang'an Dharma Exchange Conference fun?" ”

"It's boring." Richard smiled bitterly and shook his head, although Shi Zhixuan's scriptures were very charming and demagoguery, but that was only the beginning, and after he got out of that state later, this lecture became a heavenly book that he couldn't understand.

Li Shimin laughed, she had already guessed that Richard was not interested in this Chang'an Dharma Exchange Conference, so she was sure to come to him at this point in time. She smiled and said, "In that case, then go drinking?" ”

Richard smiled and nodded: "I can't ask for it, after living in this temple for a few days, my mouth is about to fade out." ”

The two immediately left the temple, Richard followed Li Shimin to a restaurant, walked into it and went upstairs to a box, Li Shimin stopped, knocked on the door a few times, and said with a smile: "Yang Da... Brother, I'm here. ”

"Come in." There was a soft and slender voice in the box, weak and weak, as if it was a woman's voice but not like a woman's.

Only then did Li Shimin push the door in, only to see a pale-faced middle-aged man sitting on the main seat, and beside him stood a fair-skinned and extremely delicate young man.

At the same time that Richard was looking at the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man was also looking at Richard, Li Shimin hugged his fist towards the middle-aged man, with a little respect in his expression, and said with a smile: "Brother Yang, this is my friend Ximenggua, I took the liberty to bring him here." Brother Yang won't blame me. ”

"No, it won't." The middle-aged man shook his head with a smile, and glanced at the delicate young man beside him, who understood, walked to Richard's side and moved a chair for him, and said softly: "Prince Ximen, please take a seat." ”

Li Cha glanced at him, nodded and sat down, at this time he had already guessed the identity of this middle-aged man in his heart, he could have such a "sissy" person around him, and Li Shimin could be so respectful, who else could there be in this world except Yang Guang, the current emperor of the Sui Dynasty?

Not long after he sat down, Yang Guang smiled at Richard and said, "Listen to Li Ai... The virtuous brother said, Ximen Gongzi is from the Song Dynasty? I don't know what Ximen Gongzi's impression of Da Sui is? Do you have any intention of joining the Great Sui? ”

Richard shook his head and said: "No, the people of the Great Song Dynasty are now peaceful and prosperous, and the people of the Sui Dynasty are worried about the outside and the people are not living. On the way to Chang'an, I also heard many people of the Sui Dynasty lamenting that they hated not being born as a Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Who would dare to say that!" Yang Guang was furious when he heard this, and slapped the table fiercely, "As a person from the Sui Dynasty, if you don't do your best for the Great Sui but want to defect, these people should not be the son of a man!" ”

Richard sneered: "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, there are frozen bones on the road, and the dignitaries and dignitaries **** are promiscuous and the common people peel the bark of trees and dig grass roots to satisfy their hunger, so do you want them to do their best for the Great Sui?" Where did this kind of truth come from? ”

"Bold!" The little eunuch beside Yang Guang scolded Richard angrily.

Richard glanced up at him, his eyes were cold, and the killing intent penetrated the little eunuch's body like a knife in an instant, and the little eunuch trembled like falling into an ice cellar and didn't dare to speak anymore.

Richard lowered his head again and said lightly: "When the puppet is angry, blood is splashed five steps." There are many talented people in this world, even if the palace is not 100% safe, it is better to keep a snack when sleeping. ”

As he spoke, Richard stood up and walked out of the box, Li Shimin's face was in a hurry and he hurriedly stood up and chased out, and just walked to the door of the box, only to hear Richard's voice slowly ringing in her ears

"Brother Li, I hope this is the only time, and I won't take it as an example."
