Seeing the supreme Dharma displayed by Master Fatong, the emperor took a deep breath, unable to conceal his surprise, and even jumped up excitedly from the dragon chair.

It wasn't until the eunuch at the side reminded him that the emperor realized his gaffe, arranged his crown and robe, and sat down again.

The ministers below also changed their expressions.

Needless to say.

The Buddhist attainments shown by Master Fatong have already entered the eyes of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, and it is only natural for him to be appointed as an official.

But Taiyin Zhenjun's complexion is gloomy, and the expression on his face changes from cloudy to cloudy.

Seeing this scene, a bright light flashed in Zheng Lang's eyes.

Ever since Zhenjun Taiyin took charge of Longhu Mountain and ascended to the position of national teacher, he has already threatened Zheng Lang's position.

Zheng Lang is just a civil servant, if it comes to Taoism and supernatural powers, he is definitely not the opponent of Taiyin Zhenjun.

However, stones from other mountains can attack jade.

Zheng Lang has a close relationship with Master Fatong of Jinshan Temple, so he invited Master Fatong from Hangzhou to help him, so as to check and balance the power of Taiyin Zhenjun.

Judging from the current situation, his move was really right.

"Master Fatong's accomplishments in Buddhism are really unfathomable. I don't know if Master Fatong is willing to move the Dharma to Chang'an City. I would like to confer you the title of Holy Chan Master, so as to promote Buddhism and protect the common people. I don't know Master Fatong. how about?"

The emperor said loudly, with strong hopes and expectations in his precise words.

In the eyes of the emperor, Master Fatong's cultivation was comparable to that of the legendary holy Buddha, and there were very few people with great power in Buddhism throughout the entire Tang Dynasty.

It is enough to say that he bestowed Zhang Yingshao as a national teacher with a man below one man and above ten thousand people, which is enough to show how much he respects the powerful.

Right now, he even does not hesitate to use his incomparable glory and wealth to try to talk about Master Fatong.

As for the attitude towards Buddhism and Taoism, Tang Xuanzong is not Tang Wuzong. He has no intention of suppressing Buddhism and worshiping Taoism. He will respect whoever can make him live longer!

Facing the emperor's eager eyes, Master Fatong groaned for a moment, then proclaimed the Buddha's name and said: "Amitabha, thank you for your appreciation, but the poor monk has lived in Hangzhou for a long time and wants to preside over the affairs of the Jinshan Temple. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me for not embarking on an official career to enter the imperial court."

Master Fatong indeed has a good attainment in Buddhism.

He has seen through the world of mortals, facing the so-called glory and wealth, he has truly reached the point of detaching from the mundane world.

"Oh, what a pity."

After hearing the other party's words, the emperor sighed with some disappointment.

Not being concerned about the mundane world, this also shows the profound state of mind of Master Fatong, so although the emperor felt sorry, he did not mean to force Master Fatong.

After a while, Master Fatong changed the subject and said: "Although the poor monk can't accompany you, but I can let my disciple Fahai recite the scriptures and recite the Buddha, worship the Buddha and repent."

"Master Fatong wants your disciple to do it for you?"

The emperor frowned slightly, and then showed hesitation.

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes also focused on Fa Hai.

This person looks ordinary, and there is a conspicuous scar on his head, which is a little ugly, and many people don't think so.

But everyone knows that since this little novice can be appreciated by Master Fatong, it means that he must have something extraordinary.

As if seeing the emperor's concerns, Master Fatong explained: "The monks do not tell lies. Fahai has already won the inheritance of the poor monk. At that time, Fahai will instill the holy body of His Majesty with the supreme power of Buddhism. , if things go on like this, it will definitely prolong life, almost the effect of longevity.”

Master Fatong's words are not aimless.

Among all his disciples, Fahai's Buddhist attainments are the most exquisite and profound, enough to stand out among all the novice monks.

Before the trip to Chang'an, Master Fatong had the idea of ​​promoting Fahai as the abbot.

Master Fatong's words dispelled the emperor's worries. The emperor nodded and waved his hands, and said loudly: "Okay, then according to what the master said, Fahai, from today onwards, I will confer on you as a holy Zen master. The status is the same as that of Taiyin Zhenjun, you are the teacher of the left country, and Taiyin Zhenjun is the teacher of the right country, and the same position as the national teacher of the other countries."

"From now on, Buddhism will be regained, and the Buddhist temple will be restored. The Xuanqing Temple outside Yongzhou City will be converted into a Buddhist temple, and the rest of the Taoist temple will remain the same for the time being."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of many ministers in the court changed.

The emperor wanted to start respecting Buddhism, and at the same time, he didn't forget to beat the real monarch of Taiyin, and even demolished the other party's Xuanqing Temple.

"Thank you for your majesty's gift. Fahai will definitely devote himself to cultivating Buddhism, promoting Buddhism, preaching scriptures and reciting Buddha for your majesty, and praying for all blessings and peace."

Fa Hai bowed to the emperor, bowed deeply, and said gratefully.

The emperor nodded slightly, and then he looked at Zhenjun Taiyin who was trembling beside him, and said with a half-smile, "Zhenjun, do you have any objection to my decision?"

"I don't dare to be poor, but I can have a treasure book of achievements and be blessed by Buddhism. This is the opportunity of the sage, and it is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty."

True Monarch Taiyin lowered his eyelids, and the strange color in his eyes disappeared in a flash.

Although True Monarch Taiyin said so, everyone knew that he was not sincere.

Although the emperor meant that Taiyin Zhenjun and Fa Hai had the same status, but Fa Hai's position as the national teacher was snatched from Taiyin Zhenjun. The meaning here is of course different.

The power of True Monarch Taiyin has been further weakened, and there is another person who is equal to him, how can he have no complaints?

The emperor smiled and said: "Of course, I am still full of expectations for the elixir refined by the real monarch. As long as the real lord refines the elixir of immortality as soon as possible, I will definitely reward you heavily."

Watching the change in Taiyin Zhenjun's face, the emperor said meaningfully.

Although practicing Buddhism also has the effect of prolonging life, what the emperor desires most is immortality. For this reason, he has not completely given up on Taiyin Zhenjun, and still has some expectations.

But at the same time, this is also a signal of urging and warning to Taiyin Zhenjun.

The implication is that if you fail again, then I will truly restore Buddhism, and even your status as the Right Master may be difficult to protect.
