    Jianfu Temple, Daxiong Palace.

    In front of the gate of the hall, there are two ancient pines, thick enough to be embraced by two people, with horizontal branches, a lush crown, and main branches that can also be pillars. The age of these two ancient pines should be more than three hundred years.

    There is also a couplet at the gate of the hall.

    The upper line is the vulture, the vulture, the vulture, the vulture, the vulture, and the second line is true, true, true.

    Bai Suzhen read it several times, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and then walked into the Daxiong Hall alone.

    The incense is prosperous and the smoke is lingering.

    Straight ahead, there are three great Buddhas enshrined.

    In the main hall, each of the three big Buddhas is one foot and six feet high, and each of the eighteen arhats is nine feet high. There are twenty-four statues of heaven in front of the lotus seat of the big Buddha.

    Bai Suzhen looked at the three big Buddhas quietly, neither went up to offer incense, nor knelt down to pray.

    "Amitabha!" Master Yongzhen folded his hands together.

    Bai Suzhen turned around, looked at the old monk in front of her, and said with a faint smile: "Qingcheng Bai Suzhen, I have met Master Yongzhen!"

    Master Yongzhen said with a smile: "Sponsor Bai came to Jianfu Temple as soon as he entered Chang'an, which shows that the Lord and I have a deep relationship with Buddha!"

    Bai Suzhen said indifferently: "Master is waiting for me?"

    Master Yongzhen said calmly: "Yes and no!"

    "The entire city of Chang'an knows that the master has profound attainments in Buddhism, and it really makes people have a headache to play the trick!"

    Master Yongzhen smiled apologetically and said, "Benefactor Bai is intelligent, so he naturally understands the difficulties of this old monk!"

    Bai Suzhen laughed twice and said, "Master's difficulties have nothing to do with me!"

    Master Yongzhen said with a serious expression: "For the sake of the safety of the people in Yuzhou City, Bai Benefactor has put himself on the line and led to the catastrophe. That's why Fengdu Ghost City has been sealed. It shows that Bai Benefactor cares about the common people and all the people in the world!"

    Bai Suzhen frowned slightly, turned around, looked at Master Yongzhen solemnly and said: "Master, if I say that the common people in the world have nothing to do with me, I don't care what merits you have, don't use common people to restrain me!"

    Master Yongzhen smiled wryly: "The world is a game, and the common people are chess. Now that you have entered the chess game, how can you jump out and become the chess player?"

    Bai Suzhen said bluntly: "Master has talked so much about it, what exactly do you want?"

    Master Yongzhen clasped his hands together and said, "I want to make a bet with Master Bai?"

    "Oh? The monks are all empty, the master has broken the precept of 'greed'!"

    "If it can make the world stable and the world peaceful, it doesn't matter if you break the precepts, even if it takes the life of the old monk!" Master Yongzhen showed a resolute expression on his face.

    "What does master want to bet with me?" Bai Suzhen asked in a deep voice.

    Master Yongzhen pondered for a moment, and said: "If my Buddhism wins out in this year's four-religion debate, I would like to ask Master Bai to stay in Chang'an!"

    Bai Suzhen sneered and said, "Is Master so confident in Fa Hai?"

    Master Yongzhen continued: "The old monk will advise His Majesty that in this main hall, I will build a golden body for Lord Bai, and in front of the Buddha's seat, I will enjoy thousands of incense from the world and prove the way!"

    "I remember, there is such an allusion in "Zhuangzi Qiushui". A man of Chu asked Zhuangzi, would he be tired of the territory? Zhuangzi replied: I heard that there is a tortoise in Chu, which has died for three thousand years.  Above the temple. For this turtle, would he rather die to keep his bones and be more expensive than live with his tail smeared in the middle?"

    Bai Suzhen paused, and asked: "If the master is that turtle, why would he choose?"

    Master Yongzhen sighed a few times, and said helplessly, "I'd rather be born and be smeared!"

    Bai Suzhen smiled and said: "The master is right to take the common people as his heart, but his mistake is to borrow the hands of others. This is no different from a castle in the air, which will fall when the wind blows."

    Master Yongzhen remained silent.

    "There is a saying in Buddhism that all living beings are Buddhas, but why can't all living beings become Buddhas?"

    Master Yongzhen was shocked, a complex look flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "I hope to hear a good opinion!"

    "Because everyone can't find their own heart and lost themselves!"

    Bai Suzhen glanced at Master Yongzhen, and continued to ask: "Master, do you know why I came here?"

    Master Yongzhen said: "Buddha destiny!"

    Bai Suzhen said calmly: "Forty-six years ago, someone took me to Longquan Temple to seek help from the master. Coincidentally, the master traveled all over the world without knowing where he went and never met. Therefore, I am here today not because of the Buddha's fate, but just to see  Just look at the master."

    Master Yongzhen looked ugly, and asked: "And then?"

    Bai Suzhen said: "The habit has not been eliminated!"

    After finishing speaking, Bai Suzhen turned around and walked out of the Daxiong Hall, and then left Jianfu Temple.

    theWhen Master Yongzhen heard the words "The final study has not been eliminated", his complexion changed drastically and became dull, as if he had aged a lot in an instant.

    "Abbot!" A middle-aged monk came up to him and shouted in a low voice.

    Only then did Master Yongzhen turn his head, and then looked up at the three big Buddhas, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

    After a while, Master Yongzhen's eyes regained clarity, and he said resolutely, "Tell Master Nephew Fahai that no matter what the outcome of the discussion of the four religions is, Bai Suzhen will not leave Chang'an. As long as she is in Chang'an, the fate of the Tang Dynasty will be stabilized."  , the common people can rest and recuperate!"

    After the Anshi Rebellion, the tragedies that happened in Chang'an City made him unforgettable in this life.

    Today, Datang has finally stabilized, but it is already riddled with holes, and its vitality is seriously injured.

    If the luck of the Tang Dynasty is not stabilized, and the flames of war resume and the people suffer, it will be like a flood that breaks the embankment and will flow for thousands of miles.

    There will be no more days of prosperity and peace!

    This is the last thing he wants to see!

    Therefore, after learning that Bai Suzhen had crossed the catastrophe and transformed into a dragon, he decided to do one thing, something that no one else dared to think about.  To his relief, someone is willing to help him with this matter.

    He is Fa Hai!

    Fa Hai came to Chang'an City a few days earlier than Bai Suzhen, and he was at Jianfu Temple.

    When Abbot Yongzhen mentioned this matter to him, Fa Hai agreed without any hesitation.

    Even if he paid his life for this, he would not hesitate!

    After Bai Suzhen left Jianfu Temple, she came to the gate of Hanlin Academy.

    Holding an oil-paper umbrella, she stood in the hazy drizzle, waiting quietly.

    Seems to be waiting for someone to come out of it.

    But half an hour later, Bai Suzhen turned around and left. The person she was waiting for was actually not here.

    Not far away, Fa Hai looked at her leaving figure, and then moved his eyes to the Hanlin Academy, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

    He knew that Xu Xuan, the champion of Jinke, represented Confucianism in the discussion of the four religions, but judging from Bai Suzhen's reaction, she seemed to pay special attention to this Xu Xuan, which surprised him.

    He is clear about Xu Xuan's details, and he doesn't seem to have any intersection with Bai Suzhen.

    Fa Hai thought for a moment, and seemed to think of a possibility, but it really took a lot of work to prove it.

    But in order to be able to succeed in the future, he decided to use secret methods to explore Xu Xuan's past and present lives, even if it costs a little bit of Taoism.

    When Fahai returned to Jianfu Temple, he immediately used the Buddhist Celestial Eye.

    A ray of golden light pierced through the thick fog, and what appeared in front of him was a young scholar riding a donkey on a country road.

    Then, I took the township test and failed!

    Due to family difficulties, he became a teacher in a private school.

    By chance, they met a wealthy business lady in the town, and the two fell in love with each other and made a private decision for life.

    However, in order to be able to get acquainted with the people in the government, the rich businessman insisted on breaking them up, and married his daughter to the official as a concubine.

    The scholar was distraught and wanted to commit suicide.

    Unexpectedly, bad news came that the beloved woman committed suicide with hatred because she couldn't bear the bullying.

    In a rage, the scholar took the hatchet at home and went straight to the city, intending to kill the official.

    However, the wealthy businessman had already sent someone to inform him. Before he could enter the city, he was hacked to death on the spot by the yamen guards guarding the gate of the city as he was chasing fugitives.

    At this moment, Fahai's face was pale, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

    Casting the Celestial Eye consumes a lot of mana, and because the time is too long, he can no longer forcefully support it.

    In desperation, Fa Hai had no choice but to put away Tianyan, panting heavily, his eyes full of doubts.

    There was nothing unusual about Xu Xuan's last life.

    "Could it be that I'm overthinking it?" Fahai said to himself.

    Powder Lane.

    There was a sneer at the corner of Yuan Bai's mouth, someone actually spied on Xu Xuan's past life, and he still used the Buddhist celestial eye.

    "Walking around, it seems to be back to the past, but it's not the past. Fahai, Fahai, why do you want to get involved without knowing the danger?" (
