The old monk only exchanged glances with the person in the sedan chair for a short moment, and the curtain fell gently.

Surrounded by the people in the streets and alleys, the palanquin of the pastor Changsheng had already passed the small teahouse and headed towards the Huasheng Temple where the water and land conference was opened.

The old monk looked at the shadow of the sedan chair in the distance, his eyes flashed with deep groaning and contemplation, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Master, the sedan chair of the national teacher is gone, what are you looking at?"

The young monk watched the sedan chair disappear, but the old monk's eyes were still looking in the direction over there, and he asked with some puzzlement.

"This person is not simple. ”

The old monk said in a solemn voice: "Although he has locked the aura on his body, so that others cannot detect and perceive how strong his Taoism and strength are, the glance he had just now ...... But it made the teacher feel a little uneasy. ”

"Gaze...... What gaze?"

The young monk was surprised and said, "You and that national teacher just glanced at each other, what can you see at this glance?"

"There are some things that you don't need to see too much, too thoroughly, sometimes one glance is enough, and it is easy to be dazzled when you see too much. ”

The old monk's eyes flashed, and he said softly: "If the teacher is not mistaken, this national teacher should have seen through our changes and knew our origins. ”

"See through?"

The young monk was taken aback: "How is this possible, we are in the dark and he is in the light, and we have not met him before." ”

"It's useless to talk about this now, just in case, both of us must also go to the Avatar Temple now. ”

The old monk got up from his seat and said, "Today is Xuanzang's water and land conference, and we have entrusted him with the important task of learning scriptures and completing the critical moment of the eastward transmission of Buddhism in the future, and there is no room for mistakes." ”

"Yes!"

The young monk clasped his palms together, bowed respectfully, and followed the old monk out of the small teahouse and came to the Huasheng Temple.

At this time, in the Huasheng Temple, the Zen sound is bursting, because there are many officers and soldiers outside the temple, so many Chang'an people can not enter, and can only wait and see outside the Huasheng Temple.

While!

With the sound of a gong, the officers and soldiers of the brigade who followed the road opened the way, as well as a luxurious eight-lift sedan chair, such a magnificent formation appeared in front of the gate of the Huasheng Temple, and almost immediately attracted the attention of all men, women and children.

In the discussion and expectation of the people, the sedan chair fell to the ground and leaned forward, and after the sedan curtain was gently lifted by the sedan chair manager Huang, an old Taoist priest wearing a purple gossip robe, a crane-haired boy with a dusty face on his left arm, and an old Taoist priest with fairy wind bones, appeared in everyone's sight.

"An old Taoist priest?"

Obviously, this image surprised many people, and some people in the crowd seemed disappointed.

"Presumptuous, you can't stop talking. ”

Manager Huang's eyes narrowed, he stepped forward to sweep away the dust, and shouted to the crowd in a shrill voice: "In the face of the national teacher, who dares to make such a loud noise?"

"Alright, Mr. Huang, don't scare people. ”

Mu Changsheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty is still waiting in the temple, let's go in and see Your Majesty quickly!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

As soon as Mu Changsheng spoke, Manager Huang immediately became docile, came to Mu Changsheng's side with a smile, raised his hand sideways, and said, "The old slave will bring the national teacher in, please ......"

Mu Changsheng smiled and walked up the stone steps in front of the temple gate and entered the Huasheng Temple.

As soon as the pastor of the Evolution Temple was born, he saw that in front of the main hall, the huge and spacious field was full of gray-clothed monks, adding up to thousands of people, and in front of these gray-clothed monks was a high platform.

There is a table on the high platform, and behind the table sits a middle-aged monk with red lips and white teeth, and a beautiful face, about 30 years old.

I saw that he was wearing a Pilu hat on his head and a red robe, just now the monks were chanting sutras, and at this time he was talking to the gray-clothed monks below.

On the back side of this high platform is Li Shimin's ceremonial car, and I saw that he was sitting on a chair full of energy at this time, accompanied by Wenchen and military generals standing beside him.

After entering the Huasheng Temple, Chief Manager Huang led Mu Changsheng through the side of the water and land conference and came to Li Shimin's ceremonial drive.

"The national teacher is out of the customs, which is really gratifying. ”

Seeing that Mu Changsheng had come here, Li Shimin got up and said with a smile: "Presumably, the national teacher's skills have improved again in this retreat, so I will first congratulate the national teacher." ”

Li Shimin got up and greeted, where did those civil and military generals dare to turn a blind eye?

At this time, although Buddhism spread in the Tang Dynasty, it was not widespread, and it was still Theravada Buddhism, so there were many ministers who were still very repulsive to Buddhism and did not want to see it, so compared to Buddhist monks, these civil and military generals naturally still liked to deal with Taoist priests.

After all, the sect born in the local area is definitely its own person compared to foreign Buddhism, not to mention that the national teacher has vast magical powers and strong spells, this is what they have seen with their own eyes, how can it be fake?

Therefore, whether it is a compliment or a sincere heart, anyway, these civil ministers and military generals all came forward one by one to say hello to the pastor Changsheng.

and Ning Wuxian's father, Shangshu Ning Chuan, of the Criminal Department, specially came up to thank Mu Changsheng and let his son Ning Wusheng live a few more days.

It's just that maybe it was because of Ning Wuxian's accident, at this time, Ning Chuan's face was very haggard, his hair was a lot grayer, and he looked like he was ten years older.

"Definitely!"

How do you know that Mu Changsheng said with a smile: "Lao Dao went out this time, not because of his successful practice, but because he came to complete the original gambling contract with His Majesty." ”

"Bet on ......"

Li Shimin only groaned, suddenly looked at Ning Chuan, and his eyes flashed: "Could it be ......"

"The time has not yet come, please forgive the old Tao for inconvenience. ”

Pastor Changsheng said: "When the time is ripe, Your Majesty should understand the good intentions of the old way to let Your Majesty stay alive." ”

"Okay, I'll see. ”

The doubts in Li Shimin's eyes flashed away, and he said: "Come on, give a seat to the national teacher, national teacher, how about listening to Master Xuanzang's wonderful method with me?"

"I can't ask for it!"

The pastor smiled slightly, sat down on the chair brought by the attendant behind him and listened to Tang Seng's lecture.

He remembered that in the original Journey to the West, it was Tang Seng who was giving a lecture at the water and land conference, and Guanyin came out to belittle the Theravada Buddhism of Tang Seng and the ancient Buddha, and boasted about the Mahayana Buddhism of the Rulai.

made Li Shimin's mind immediately activated, and he wanted to send someone to the west to learn scriptures, and finally Tang Seng volunteered, and was given a heavy task by Li Shimin and embarked on the journey to the west.

However, this water and land conference will last for seven days, and Guanyin first came to give the two treasures of the brocade robe and the nine-ring tin staff, and only showed his true body on the seventh day.

Tang Seng was preaching Buddhist scriptures in front, but Li Shimin, who didn't understand Buddhism, and the ministers were really drowsy, after all, no one had time to study Buddhism.

On the contrary, Mu Changsheng stared at Tang Seng's back, and seemed to listen to it with relish, but no one knew that at this time, what Mu Changsheng was thinking about was how to "entertain" Tang Yu's brother and brother on the way to the west.
