Chapter 4423

"You have been hiding in this temple, chanting sutras, eating and sleeping. You have never cared about the things outside, so naturally you will not know. This time, I heard a lot of things on my way back, and I also saw a lot of things. Many demons have appeared in our Tang Dynasty, and according to my observation, Chang'an, the capital of our Tang Dynasty, will soon be attacked by demons, so we Buddhist disciples naturally have to come out to protect everyone." Xuanzang said to everyone.

Everyone laughed and didn't believe what Xuanzang said.

"Xuan Zang, Chang'an is the capital of our Tang Dynasty. It is surrounded by the aura of the emperor. Do you think those monsters dare to come here casually? Besides, there are many cultivators in our Tang Dynasty. If there are monsters, it will be your majesty and It’s useless for those cultivators to deal with us monks who don’t have the power to restrain a chicken.”

No one wanted to go.

Xuanzang looked at his fellow disciples and frowned slightly.

Why don't these people have any sense of responsibility?

"We are also the people of the Tang Dynasty. What's more, our Jinshan Temple is in Chang'an, Chang'an Town. If we are killed, our Jinshan Temple will not escape death. As the saying goes, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Even if we are weak, we should still contribute. We cannot go up and kill demons, but we can chant sutras for those who are suffering, help those who are injured, provide them with medicinal materials, and provide them with food. As long as we can help, no matter what it is, it is good. Yes." Xuanzang continued to them.

Everyone looked at Xuanzang but said nothing.

"Xuan Zang, where have you been since you were away for more than a year? Why did you say such things after you came back?"

"I have been away for more than a year to practice magic. As a disciple of Buddhism, we can't just chant sutras and do things. At the same time, we also need to have the ability to slay demons. As the so-called Buddha's Wrath Vajra, we have good intentions. While reciting, we should also slay those heinous demons. Buddhist disciples should all have common people in their hearts and have a heart of universal salvation." Xuanzang said to everyone with firm eyes.

"The heart of universal salvation? Don't talk nonsense like Xuanzang's words. Now my Buddhist major is Hinayana Buddhism. Mahayana Buddhism is forbidden to practice. You should not talk nonsense about the teachings of universal salvation. Otherwise, the Buddha is He will be punished." A disciple said quickly, with fear in his eyes.

The same goes for other disciples.

Chapter 1,720: Persuading the Governor of Chang’an City

Xuanzang looked at the fearful people. He didn't have any fear.

"We in Buddhism pay attention to following the circumstances, and practicing Buddhism also follows the circumstances. Although Buddhism currently focuses on Hinayana Buddhism, if you like Mahayana Buddhism, you can also practice it. You just said that it is forbidden to practice Mahayana Buddhism, but I want to ask everyone, what did the Buddha say? Are you prohibited from practicing Mahayana Buddhism?" Xuanzang asked as he looked at the crowd.

It is true that Tathagata Buddha did not prohibit the practice of Mahayana Buddhism, but everyone knows that Tathagata Buddha hopes that all Buddhists will practice Hinayana Buddhism, so everyone practices in this way.

After all, if you practice Mahayana Buddhism, you are clearly going against the Tathagata, and no one wants to do that.

"Okay, let's not talk about Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism now. What we want to talk about now is to protect Chang'an City. There are millions of people in Chang'an City. Once those demons arrive, they will have a great impact. I hope our Jinshan Temple All disciples can stand up and organize everyone to resist the demon!"

Xuanzang continued to speak to everyone.

"Everyone, please don't forget that the Tang Dynasty was also very kind to our Buddhist sect. Now we can practice Buddhism here without worrying about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and enjoy a peaceful life. This is what the Tang Dynasty gave us. The new Chang'an City is about to encounter In a great disaster, if we people stay behind closed doors and stay out of the matter, do you think it is worthy of your own conscience? Are you worthy of the Buddha? If the Buddha knew that you were doing this, he would definitely be angry with you!"

After Xuanzang finished the second half of his words, all the Buddhist disciples present were shocked.

"Uncle Xuanzang, our Chang'an City is so stable now, but where did this monster come from? Why haven't we seen it yet?" asked a disciple.

"Now the demons are hiding, and naturally they will not come out casually. This is what I have learned based on my observations. In the past few months, I have been walking around the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time, I have also inquired about the demons. Based on their actions, I discovered some patterns, so I speculated that their next move would be our Chang'an City."

Everyone nodded after hearing Xuanzang's words. They more or less believed Xuanzang.

Even if the guess is wrong this time, it doesn't matter. At least it can prove that the Buddhist sect of Jinshan Temple is caring for everyone, and can win more pilgrims to Jinshan Temple.

"Those who are willing to go to Chang'an City to resist the demons with the poor monks should stand up. If they are unwilling to resist, then just stay in Jinshan Temple!"

Xuanzang said as he walked out of the Main Hall and arrived at the square outside.

After the monks in the Main Hall paused for a moment, they followed Xuanzang out one after another, and no one was left.

They were all willing to follow Xuanzang to protect Chang'an City.

What Xuanzang just said was right. They can now enjoy a peaceful life and have no worries about food and clothing. This is all a gift from the Tang Dynasty to them, and it is also the help and admiration of the people around them.

Now that these people are in danger, how can they sit back and watch? Their consciences will be troubled.

Xuanzang turned around and looked at his fellow disciples, with a smile on his lips.

Although these fellow disciples usually seem to be a little weak in literature, a little verbose, and sometimes afraid of death, they are still very sensible and have correct judgments in the face of major issues of right and wrong.

"Okay! Let's go to Chang'an City now and organize everyone to fight against the demons. This time we must keep the demons out of Chang'an City!" After Xuanzang finished speaking, he left Jinshan Temple with hundreds of disciples and headed towards Chang'an. Go to the city.

Xuanzang's master, Elder Faming, stood high up, looking at Xuanzang and others leaving, with a smile on his lips.

"This Xuanzang is indeed different from other disciples." Elder Faming smiled faintly.

Xuanzang and others came to Chang'an City and found the governor of Chang'an City. The governor of Chang'an City was surprised after hearing Jin Chanzi's words.

Are there demons coming to Chang'an City? There are many masters here in Chang'an City. If those monsters come, wouldn't they be looking for death?

"Little Master, I think you are joking. There are no monsters in Chang'an City for thousands of miles and it is peaceful. How could you come here?

Even if it does come, there are so many troops in Chang'an City, and there are many practitioners, so they can completely deal with it, so don't worry too much. Fu Yin said with a smile.

Xuanzang: "Lord Fu Yin, these monsters have planned their actions. They are definitely not ordinary monsters causing trouble. Since they dare to attack Chang'an City, they naturally have their sophisticated plans. We must prepare in advance. , if you are not prepared, you are likely to fail, so I ask Lord Fu Yin to prepare as soon as possible."

Mr. Fu Yin still did not agree with Xuanzang. If you want to prepare in advance, this will have a great impact. This must mobilize a large army, which will consume a lot of manpower and material resources. If the demon does not come in the end, As a governor, he will be punished and will probably be removed.

Xuanzang looked at the Fuyin and understood what he was thinking: "Master Fuyin, if you are not prepared to let the demon take advantage of this opportunity and enter Chang'an City, there will be no one in Chang'an City. Here, let’s not talk about whether your majesty will encounter any danger. If the demon rushes into Chang’an City, you will die. If your majesty is disturbed or harmed in any way, your nine tribes will perish.”

After hearing this, the governor of Chang'an City trembled in his heart. The young monk was right. If a demon really rushed in, the governor of Chang'an City would suffer.

If this demon enters the palace, then...

"If your Excellency can defend Chang'an City at this time, even if a demon breaks into Chang'an City, your Excellency will be punished, but the crime is much lighter. At most, your official position will be removed, or your official position will be removed. You are demoted to another place. After all, I have already made preparations in advance. This way, there is no life-threatening for you and your family. Even if the demon does not come this time, I will only be punished at most. If there is any danger to life, perhaps your Excellency will only receive a few scoldings at most, because Your Excellency is doing this for the sake of Chang'an City." After Xuanzang paused, he continued to speak to the governor.

Fu Yin stood there and listened to Xuanzang's words, frowning slightly. What this young monk said made sense.

After weighing the pros and cons, Mr. Fu Yin made the decision to be on guard.

Chapter 1,721 Tang Wang Li Shimin

Looking at the young monk in front of him, the governor of Chang'an City felt a hint of admiration in his heart.

This monk thought so deeply at such a young age, and his ability to persuade people was not weak.

"Little monk, what's your name? Which temple do you belong to?" Master Fu Yin asked with a smile.

"Sir, the poor monk is from Jinshan Temple outside Chang'an City."

"Jinshan Temple!" The governor couldn't help being surprised, "The abbot of your Jinshan Temple is Elder Faming?"

"Exactly, Elder Faming is the poor monk's master." Xuanzang said calmly.

"So you are the disciple of Elder Fa Ming. Please sit down quickly. Please sit down quickly. Master Fu Yin said with a smile.

The relationship between the elder Faming of Jinshan Temple and the current His Majesty is still very good.

Last year, Li Shimin launched a coup in Xuanwu Gate. It is said that Li Shimin also asked Elder Faming of Jinshan Temple for help. Elder Faming provided some help to Li Shimin. Without the help of Elder Faming, it might be difficult to launch a coup successfully.

Very few people know about this matter, but the governor of Chang'an City knows it because he also launched a coup with Li Shimin last year.

Otherwise, how could he be the governor of Chang'an City?

The governor then began to mobilize personnel from Chang'an City to set up defenses around the area, and at the same time, he also went to look for cultivators and asked them to come to him so that they could deal with it together.
