Fish swimming around the world

Jiang Fan couldn't help but shook his head: "That's not okay, I'm not that material."

The great monk said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are humbled. When you were in the Great Buddha Mountain, you could see the past and the future..."

Jiang Fan suddenly looked shocked. He was pretending to be Xiao Zhenren, but not many people knew about it. This great monk actually knew it?

The great monk looked at his expression and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be surprised. Only a poor monk in the Southern Sect knows about this matter."

Jiang Fan looked at him: "Who revealed it?"

The great monk bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty is very wise, so naturally he is someone whom you trust."

Jiang Fan's brows moved slightly, and after a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up with an unbelievable light: "Tianshi Mansion?"

Of all the people Jiang Fan knew, only Tianshi Mansion was the most likely. After all, Tianshi Zhang Youdao was from southern Xinjiang, and both Buddhists and Taoists were monks, so it was very possible for them to communicate.

The great monk said with admiration: "What Master Huitong said is indeed true. The prince can immediately think of Tianshi Mansion."

Huitong...this person is the younger brother of his uncle. Could it be...

Jiang Fan looked at the great monk: "What is your relationship with Huitong?"

The great monk smiled and said, "I don't dare to hide it from the prince. The poor monk and Master Huidao are just talking about Taoism, but they have some connections with the old Tianshi Tao."

As expected, Jiang Fan nodded: "Let's talk about it."

The great monk asked: "Do you know, Your Majesty, what is the common name of the Heavenly Master?"

Jiang Fan said: "Zhang Youdao, later changed his name to Zhang Taichu."

The great monk said: "Yes, Zhang Youdao actually has a younger brother named... Zhang Youfa..."

Jiang Fan:? ? ?

Jiang Fan was speechless at this name. But soon, he seemed to understand something, and looked at the great monk strangely: "Is there a method?"

The great monk nodded slightly: "The poor monk's common name is Zhang Youfa."

"Huh?" Jiang Fan was really surprised: "You? You and Tianshi are brothers?"

The great monk smiled and said, "That's exactly it."

Jiang Fan thought for a moment: "No, you guys don't look alike. Besides, if we were brothers, you shouldn't have been more wary of me before."

The great monk said: "It's just that we brothers are all devoted to Taoism, and Buddhism and Taoism are not the same. Back then, I became a Buddhist monk first, and then my brother came after me. Since becoming a monk, we have basically had no contact. As for our appearance, it does look good now." It’s not like that, but it’s still somewhat similar when I was a kid.”

Jiang Fan frowned: "What evidence is there?"

The great monk said: "In the future, the prince can go to the heavenly master to seek confirmation. By the way, the reason why our brothers got their names is because when we were young, an expert discussed Taoism with my father, and he said that Taoism is natural. At that time, my father was deeply convinced, and it happened that my brother came to the front hall to pay his respects. My brother was not famous at that time, so my father named me two people, which can be regarded as a fate with that master. "

"I see……"

Jiang Fan has already believed 99% of it.

The great monk said: "The master once said that day that my brother was born with a strange appearance and was not a human being in the world of mortals. Later, it turned out to be true..."

Jiang Fan couldn't help but marveled, this guy looked so different from the old Tianshi. The old Tianshi was not lean, but at least he had a normal figure, unlike this guy, who was completely fat and turned into an iron-eating beast.

And there is another big difference. The business acumen of the great monk is obviously far behind that of the old Tianshi. Just look at the splendid Thousand Buddhas Temple. The Tianshi Mansion, which is similar to the Beggar Temple, is basically different. Just not on the same level.

"So..." Jiang Fan's expression suddenly changed: "Did you meet Chief Hui Dao and heard him tell me about my stay at Tianshi Mansion?"

The great monk nodded: "In fact, it was Hui Taoist friend who came to the Great Buddha Temple specially."

Jiang Fan understood immediately and asked his uncle to capture Master Ziyang and send him to the Tianshi Mansion. However, for some unknown reason, his uncle came out and brought his younger brother Huitong with him. Then Huitong came to the Great Buddha Temple to deliver a message.

"Chief Hui Dou should have been away for several days, why did you say this now?"

The great monk smiled and said: "Because after Mr. Sun's diagnosis today, the prince can probably confirm that what the poor monk said is true. Therefore, I give the prince more confidence."

Jiang Fan couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "You, a great monk, are really scheming. Well, having said that, why do you want me to be a Buddhist disciple?"

The great monk said: "Your Majesty can be a Taoist, why can't you be a Buddhist?"

Jiang Fan shook his head: "This reason is not enough."

The great monk said: "Of course it's not enough. The great monk has three more reasons to give to the prince for his reference."

"Oh? Tell me."

The great monk said: "Firstly, the Northern Sect doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth is high, so it fights against the prince, and the Southern Sect is willing to do it for him. Secondly, the prince has the ambition to manage the world, and I don't think the prince will refuse to provide more help in southern Xinjiang. Thirdly, lead the land. The shore is not the earth of the human world, whether it is Buddha or Tao, it seems to be otherworldly, but it is always..."

His expression was deep: "It's impossible to escape from it..."

Jiang Fan's heart suddenly shook.

The great monk had a plain face and a smile, and his words were very reserved, but the meaning contained in them was thought-provoking. Especially the third one, he has a profound understanding of the relationship between political power and religion. With this advanced ideology, Jiang Fan almost thought that he came from the future.

"Great monk..."

Jiang Fan looked at him and couldn't speak for a long time.

"Your Majesty, the poor monk knows what he is talking about. The poor monk believes that except for King Xiaoyao, no one else in the world can deeply understand what the poor monk said. This is why the poor monk has never said this to others. "

Jiang Fan sighed slightly: "You understand very well."

The great monk said: "Survival requires not only strength, but also vision."

Jiang Fan said: "You have it all. To be honest, this king is very surprised."

The great monk shook his head: "The prince is not surprised at the meaning of the poor monk's words, but is surprised that he did not expect the poor monk to say this. Looking at the prince's expression, the poor monk already knew it. The prince has already seen through this matter. Minghui Understanding is unparalleled in the world.”

Jiang Fan pondered for a long time: "Is this the reason why you want to ask me to be a Buddhist disciple?"

The great monk asked: "Isn't it enough?"

Jiang Fan said: "Enough, that's enough. But... I don't have that much time to disguise myself and become a Buddhist disciple."

The great monk said: "The Buddha's status is extremely noble, his title is comparable to that of the Buddha, and his status is higher than that of the sect leader. Isn't the prince dissatisfied?"

Jiang Fan shook his head: "I know your intentions, but this identity is really not suitable for me..."

The great monk asked: "What does the prince mean by this?"

Jiang Fan thought for a while, and since Huitong didn't tell him, he didn't plan to tell him his identity as the successor of the Wuliang Dao Sect. He just said: "Buddhism is a religion, so there are many inconveniences."

This identity is actually very noble, and many people can't even ask for it. However, the great monk realized that King Xiaoyao really had no idea, and he couldn't help but wonder, King Xiaoyao didn't care much about the power that came to his door?
