Datang Library

Chapter 918 Before Fighting
In Chang'an Sky Prison, Xuanzang sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to recite scriptures, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

Time goes back to when Hou Junji and Li Ji went to Shaolin to find him. At this time, Shaolin had no defense and popularity, so Xuanzang and the five remaining old monks in Shaolin Temple were all arrested immediately.

Abbot Tan Bei denounced loudly that Shaolin Temple is a place of Buddhism authorized by the imperial court, even the generals are not allowed to arrest people and destroy the temple for no reason.

Hou Junji sneered for a while, and described Xuanzang's deeds in the Tianzhu Sea Battle. Since Shaolin Temple stood there dumbfounded, did he expect Xuanzang to be so confused?Even if it is to help the Tianzhu Navy defeat the Datang Navy, you should keep this matter a secret. Don’t spread it to the Tang Dynasty.

Xuanzang just closed his eyes and recited scriptures and ignored him. He didn't defend himself at all, and of course he didn't admit what he had done. He was not stupid. Did Hou Junji have any evidence to prove it?As long as there is no evidence, he can't die, and he doesn't even dare to do anything to him, because his backing is the entire Buddhism.

If Hou Junji knew that at the main hall of the Jieri Dynasty, Xuanzang even deliberately wanted King Jieri to lead troops into the Tang Dynasty to save the Buddhist sect of the Tang Dynasty. I wonder if Hou Junji and Li Ji would kill Xuanzang on the spot kill here?

Even if Xuanzang did not plead guilty, Hou Junji would not let him go, and he would be arrested and locked up in the sky prison. Besides, in Hou Junji's eyes, this person must die.

However, Hou Junji did not expect the later events. The Buddhist sect, which was almost burned to ashes, came forward aggressively to demand someone, and even incited people in the rivers and lakes to create rumors together, which brought a lot of trouble to the court, because at this time Li Second, he even called Hou Junji over and scolded him. Since he wanted to kill someone, he had to prove it hard or kill him on the spot. Now that there are people who can't stand up and down, and make the court a big headache, who will solve it?

Hou Junji was very speechless, if you hadn't sent Li Ji to say that this person cannot be killed, how could I bring back a living person?He must have taken his head to commemorate the sacrificed soldiers.

At the same time, Bai Fan came to the Heavenly Prison alone, and met the legendary Tang Monk. Perhaps in his previous life he was the eminent monk whom he admired as a child, but in this life, due to his limited status and standpoint, he was doomed to be invincible. I will be with him all the way, maybe after meeting a real Tang Seng, it is different from the ideal, or maybe it is because of my conflict with the beliefs in Tang Seng's heart.

In short, the current situation is that one person is in the prison and the other is outside the prison.

Regarding Hou Junji's news that Xuanzang colluded with the enemy, Bai Fan firmly believed it, because although Hou Junji was a small-minded person, he was not enough to turn black and white to slander a monk, and he couldn't afford to lose this person.

Of course, Bai Fan can also understand Xuanzang's approach. If a person's belief in his heart is too sacred, he may not care about any country or region. For Xuanzang, the pure land of Buddhism far exceeds the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

As if sensing someone watching him from outside the prison door, Xuanzang slowly opened his eyes, and there was an ordinary white-clothed scholar in his eyes, whom he did not recognize.

Although Xuanzang left in the second year of Zhenguan, and Bai Fan was already a little famous at that time, but after all, not everyone met and knew each other.

"The benefactor's brows are radiant and introverted. Although his body is plain, his appearance is extraordinary. Could it be that he is the Marquis of Lantian in the Tang Dynasty?" If you don't know him, Xuanzang can make a guess. There are only a few types of people who can come to see me at this time, one is the enemy. Those should be military generals, and secondly, those sent by the emperor should be civil servants, and the rest should be people who admire him, but it is possible that there are no such people in Datang.

So he directly guessed that it was Bai Fan.

Bai Fan smiled slightly: "Bai Fan has heard of the master's name for a long time. Seeing it today is considered a predestined relationship, but it's a pity. People say that meeting is worse than being famous. The ancients did not deceive me."

"To each other, the poor monk didn't expect that the well-known and well-known Tang Lantian Hou, who was praised by everyone, turned out to be a hypocrite who would ridicule others as soon as he met him with a hidden smile. Hehe, with such behavior, you probably have no time for self-reflection."

Xuanzang was able to travel all over Tianzhu with Buddhist tongues, so he was naturally not a fool.

Bai Fan shook his head and said: "I don't intend to ridicule you as a prisoner, I just want to see it, according to my temperament back then, I will kill as many people as you who help outsiders attack Datang, and I will not kill today You are because there is still some use for keeping you, do you still think that someone can save your life?"

"Hahahaha, I've heard that Marquis of Lantian is the most impartial in law enforcement. Kill me? I'm afraid you don't dare to say that I'm collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country. There is no basis for accusing me of crimes? It's just your way of avoiding Buddhism and turning to revenge. It's just a despicable means." Xuanzang laughed wildly, at this time there is no trace of a monk's demeanor.

Seeing this scene, Bai Fan's opinion of him dropped again. It seemed that Xuanzang, who had returned to China early, had been practicing Buddhism in Tianzhu for at least ten years.

"Evidence? I'm afraid you don't know, I, Bai Fan, never talk about evidence when killing people, and no one asks for evidence from me.

It's just that for you, I'm not going to kill you. I said it's still useful to keep you. Maybe there is a crueler punishment than killing in the world. I think it's just right for you. "

After finishing speaking, Bai Fan turned and walked out.

Xuanzang said loudly: "Bai Fan, you Asura, you don't dare to fight with the poor monk because you are afraid. The poor monk is not afraid of death. Now that you have rushed back, you will naturally have the determination to feed the demon with your body. If you have the ability, you will kill it." me."

Bai Fan's voice came from the gate of the dungeon that was about to walk out: "Chang'an Buddhism and Taoism will be held as usual. I have already arranged a cheerleading team for you, and I have invited enough audience witnesses. When the time comes, my little disciple will appear on my behalf. I hope that you, an eminent monk who has traveled to the Buddhist kingdom of Tianzhu for ten years, will not lose too easily, it will be boring."

After leaving the prison, Bai Fan came to Dali Temple in Chang'an. There were too many people from all walks of life who were crying for Xuanzang's grievances.

"Since you dare to say that I, Bai Fan, was the mastermind behind the arrest of Xuanzang, why are you messing around in Dali Temple instead of going to Zhongnan Academy to ask me to argue? Since you are a man of the rivers and lakes, you don't even have the courage to be a warrior, so you don't feel ashamed Is it?" Bai Fan snorted coldly.

Most of the people here are related to Buddhism, and the last ones are also followers of Buddhism.

"How dare I wait to slander the Marquis of Lantian? The court came forward to arrest people, so we naturally have to find a theory from the court. Master Xuanzang was arrested for no reason. The court is unfair."
