In front of Wangji Temple, many monks and guards gathered.
Today was the day that Master Hui Yuan would leave Chang 'an City. Now that the Buddhists were safe, his mission had been completed, and it was time to return to Shaolin Temple.
"Master, it's not easy for you to come to Chang 'an City. Why don't you stay a little longer and let me be your host?" Li Shimin urged him to stay.
There were not many people in the world who were qualified to be personally sent off by Li Shimin. Master Hui Yuan was Li Shimin's benefactor and the leader of the Buddhists. He was also the key to persuading the Buddhists to accept the self-rescue plan. This was why Li Shimin valued him so much.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty. This old monk has disturbed you. When I return to Shaolin, there are still many Buddhists waiting for news from this old monk. I really can't stay in Chang 'an City!" Master Hui Yuan said with his palms together.
"Master, have a safe journey!" Li Shimin said reluctantly after seeing that he could not persuade him to stay.
"This old monk will take his leave!" Master Hui Yuan would have to spend a lot of effort to persuade the monks when he returned. He was already anxious to return home. Moreover, the self-rescue plan was related to the future of the Buddhists. Naturally, the sooner he repaired the hole, the sooner he would be safe.
"Forgive me for not seeing you off!" Li Shimin waved his hand.
"Master, have a safe journey!"
The monks sent him off. Master Hui Yuan came to Chang 'an City because he was invited to resolve the crisis of the Buddhists. Now that the Buddhists were safe, the monks did not need to avoid him and came to see him off.
"Bian Ji, you must make sure that Master Hui Yuan safely returns to Shaolin. Do not slack off on the way," Master Hui Chang ordered.
"Yes!"
Bian Ji nodded solemnly. It was a rare opportunity to be able to interact with Master Hui Yuan personally. Naturally, Bian Ji would not refuse. Furthermore, he was the one who had personally brought Master Hui Yuan to Chang 'an City. Naturally, he had to personally escort her back.
Master Hui Yuan returned the greeting and stepped onto the carriage with Bian Ji's help. Following the coachman's call, the carriage followed the straight brick road in Chang 'an City all the way to the East City Gate.
"Sold newspaper! The latest issue of Mo Magazine. "
"Please see the Buddhist monk personally subduing the Snake Demon!"
"In a fit of anger, Lady White flooded the Jinshan Temple."
…
Just as Master Hui Yuan was deep in thought with his eyes closed. After all, the journey to the west this time had changed Buddhism too much. Not only were there restrictions, but there was also the temptation of countless Indian sutras coming, so Buddhism had no choice but to treat it seriously. Suddenly, the cries of a paperboy woke him up.
"Mo Magazine! An eminent Buddhist monk! Jinshan Temple. "
Master Hui Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but raise his voice. "Stop the car and go buy a copy of the ink magazine."
"Yes! Great Master! "Bian Ji immediately responded and got off the carriage, walking towards the paperboy.
Not long after, Bian Ji returned with two copies of the Ink Journal. He handed one of them to Master Hui Yuan and flipped to the front page.
"The Legend of the White Snake!"
Great Master Hui Yuan looked at the name in the journal and couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't think that there would be a legend about the White Snake.
"This is the special feature of the Mo Magazine. It's called, but it's not a real biography. In the present world, Mo Jiazi's Liang Zhu is the best. Back then, it was popular in Chang 'an City." Bian Ji explained to Master Hui Yuan.
Master Hui Yuan nodded. Even he had heard about the storm of Liang Zhu. He couldn't help but read on curiously.
However, when he saw Guanyin Bodhisattva enlightening the White Snake, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Buddhism had always thought that Buddha was omnipotent and could save people from suffering. The matter of Guanyin Bodhisattva enlightening the Snake Demon made Buddhism even more mythical.
Master Hui Yuan couldn't help but nod. If this Legend of the White Snake could be as popular as Liang Zhu in the Tang dynasty, then the benefits to Buddhism would be immeasurable. He secretly praised Mo Jiazi in his heart. It seemed that Mo Jiazi still knew how much damage the Mo Magazine had done to Buddhism. Now, he wanted to make up for it.
"White Snake and Xu Xian, a disciple of the Medical School."
Master Hui Yuan couldn't help but read on with interest. Even if Bian Ji was biased against the Mo Magazine that had repeatedly targeted Buddhism, he couldn't help but be addicted to the perfect love between Xu Xian and White Snake.
Master Hui Yuan naturally noticed Bian Ji's obsession and desire for the love between White Snake and Xu Xian. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart and recite the name of Buddha, "Amitabha, the love between White Snake and Benefactor Xu is the fate of thousands of years in the previous life. Every drink and peck is extremely compatible with Buddhism's way of karma."
Bian Ji suddenly woke up. He couldn't help but blush and said, "Master is really wise. This little monk has learned."
Master Hui Yuan saw that Bian Ji had comprehended and nodded in satisfaction. In his view, Bian Ji's wisdom was extremely extraordinary in addition to his unstable temperament. Moreover, Bian Ji was only twenty years old. It was already commendable that he could reach this step.
The two continued to read. However, when they saw the villain, Fahai, appear, their faces suddenly changed.
"Good!" Bian Ji's heart was extremely happy. When he saw Fahai separating White Snake and Xu Xian, his heart was full of joy.
On the other hand, Great Master Hui Yuan frowned. He realized that this chapter wasn't very friendly to Buddhism. Fahai's reason for breaking up White Lady seemed to be justified, but from a logical point of view, he had destroyed a perfect love.
As the saying goes, it is better to tear down ten temples than to tear down a marriage. However, Fahai had destroyed a love with thousands of years of fate. Master Hui Yuan could predict that in Chang 'an City, the streets were probably cursing Buddhism for being heartless.
"Mo Jiazi is simply treacherous. My Buddhism has clearly signed the Alliance Under the City, but Mo Jiazi still wants to kill us." Bian Ji suddenly realized. His heart moved and his face was filled with anger.
From his point of view, the Buddhism School had already signed the alliance under the city according to the conditions of the Mohist School. However, he did not expect that before Master Huiyuan left Chang 'an City, the Mohist School would publish another article to slander the Buddhism School.
For ordinary people, the Legend of the White Snake was naturally an extremely delicious spiritual feast. However, for Buddhism, it was a fatal attack. It directly hit Buddhism's weak point of severing the love between men and women.
To Bian Ji's surprise, Master Hui Yuan was not angry. Instead, he shook his head and said with a wry smile, "This time, I'm afraid you have wronged Mo Jiazi."
"How is that possible? Not to mention that the Mo Periodical belongs to Mo Jiazi. Who else could write such a thing except for Mo Jiazi? "Bian Ji retorted.
Master Hui Yuan's expression did not change. He pointed to the Mo Periodical in his hand and said, "Look, who is the author? You'll understand the reason behind it. "
Bian Ji looked in the direction of Master Hui Yuan's finger. When he saw the final signature, he suddenly said in disbelief, "Princess Changle!"
