Lao Ke asked Su Xuan, a disciple of Yinhu, and said, "Have you ever heard from the master talk about the past of the Buddha Sect?"

Su Xuan frowned and thought for a while, and said, "I'm going to hide it from my seniors. I once mentioned it by chance by my elders in the sect. However, I didn't say much, and I didn't take it seriously at that time."

Lao Ke nodded and said, "It's no wonder. After all, the Western Regions wasteland is too far away. Few people go there in the Middle Earth Continent. This Buddhist sect is the Western Regions."

Everyone suddenly realized that no wonder they were not famous in the past, but they turned out to be a sect in such a distant place.

The people of the Tang Dynasty had very few impressions of the Western Regions, only knowing that they were far away and desolate, with strange climates, and bad environments, which were very unsuitable for humans and even demons to live in.

I'm afraid only the extremely strong body of the Demon Clan can adapt to such a harsh living environment.

Zhao Hanyu carefully recalled the collection he had read and found that there was no memory of the Buddhist sect. He looked up and asked, "Old Ke, why is there no record in the authentic sect?"

Lao Ke smiled and said, "This Buddhist sect has its own school, not a branch of our Taoist sect, so of course there is no record. Moreover, the Buddhist sect has a long history and has existed thousands of years ago. It was just that there was no contact with Middle Earth in the early days, so few people heard about it."

"Thousands of years ago, when the Taoist sect leader was young, he traveled around and happened to the Western Regions. It is said that the Buddhist sect had become a climate at that time. In this vast land of the Western Regions, the Buddhist sect was both a sect and a regime, integrating faith and rule, and had amazing power. The people of the Western Regions were even more religious and soldiers, and they were extremely loyal and pious."

"Uncle Ke, are the people of the Western Regions also my human race?" Murong Qianfan asked.

"The former leader said with certainty that the people of the Western Regions were branches of our human race, but no one in the Middle Land knew where they came from and what reason was to settle in that desolate and bitter place." Lao Ke replied.

Su Xuan, a disciple of Yinhu, thought for a while and asked, "Senior Ke, since they are also human race, why have they never seen them in battles with the demons for several years? Is it because they are too far away? This doesn't make sense."

Lao Ke smiled and said, "I don't know the reason here. For thousands of years, except for the previous sect leader who had brief contact with him, no one knew the foundation. It was not until six hundred years ago that the sect leader of the Buddha Sect came to the capital and sat in the Qingxu Palace to discuss the Tao with my Tang Dynasty master Ling Xiao. The Buddha Sect had an intersection with Middle Earth."

Murong Qianfan asked, "National Master? Isn't it the contemporary leader? The leader of the Buddha Sect actually came to the capital in person? He is very brave! Aren't he afraid that he can't return to his hometown?"

The honest young man Ximen Guang also echoed: "Following the virtues of those bald donkeys, it is guaranteed that their leader is not very good. The national teacher should keep him!"

Zhao Hanyu also had many questions in his heart, but in order not to reveal his identity, he could only listen to Lao Ke's narration quietly and remained silent.

Lao Ke smiled and said, "We cannot make arbitrarily judge the virtues of the sect leader of the Buddha Sect. He discussed Taoism and preached the scriptures with the National Master for more than ten days, and his own cultivation was also very amazing. It is said that he had received praise from the National Master, and even Emperor Taizong was very relieved."

"Hmph! What's so great about it? My Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette and the source of civilization. Lord Master and His Majesty Taizong are also broad-minded and knowledgeable. It is normal to give him some face to the clown on the border." Murong Qianfan sneered.

Su Xuanqi said: "Even Emperor Taizong has seen the head of the Buddha Sect? Why didn't our Tang Dynasty form an alliance to fight against the demon clan? If it is true as Senior Ke said, even the national master praised that the head's cultivation level. Such a powerful force joins our coalition, why worry about the immortality of the demon clan?!"

Lao Ke nodded in agreement and sighed: "Yes! It is rumored that the Buddha Sect has its own main altar, secret palace, temple, and several holy places in the vast Western Regions. The cultivation of these palace masters, abbots, and venerables is probably not inferior to the "Five Greatnesses of Heaven and Kun" in our Middle Earth, and at least it is located in the sacred sequence. In addition, there are countless monk soldiers and believers. If they can work together to fight the demons, our human race has already driven away the fog of the snow field in the northern desert!"

When everyone heard that the Buddha Sect had such a strong man and such a foundation, they couldn't help but look at each other in shock.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Hanyu asked, "Old Ke, what's going on in the Sumeru Courtyard?"

"Oh, this starts with the Holy Mother entering Middle-earth to promote Buddhism."

Lao Ke paused and continued, "Since the leader of the Buddhist sect came to Beijing, he was surprised that the cultural heritage of the Middle Earth and the powerful sect, especially in some aspects of the Taoist sect, even surpassed the court. He was envious and had the idea of ​​religious infiltration. However, the Virgin Mary was eager for quick success and instant benefits, and her methods were quite cruel and tyrannical, which aroused the resentment of the people of the Tang Dynasty. Later, Gu Qingcheng was furious and took action, and after the defeat, he had to stop the battle."

"Uncle Ke, since Senior Gu has taken action to shock the people of the Buddha Sect, they still have the courage to continue infiltration?" Murong Qianfan asked.

"Young master, Gu Qingcheng just forced him and others not to use violent missionary that day, and it was not prohibited from entering the country. Moreover, he did not kill the battle that day. Otherwise, the Middle Earth and the Buddha Sect might have fought hundreds of years ago."

"There are both the Holy Mother who does evil and the evil monk who commits crimes behind them. I am afraid that this Buddha Sect is not a good person." Yinhu disciple Su Xuan was originally a woman with a gentle temperament. When Lao Ke described it, he recalled his own experience and couldn't help but feel very disgusted with the Buddha Sect.

Lao Ke nodded slightly and said, "This matter is not the case for now. After the Virgin retreat, the Buddhist sect was shocked, and their admiration for the Chinese people and coveted the past. About two hundred years ago, envoys were sent to the capital to see His Majesty today, hoping to imitate the Tang system and set up a college in Beijing to facilitate the children of the Western Regions to learn Chinese culture. The disciples of the Buddhist sect were willing to participate in the imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty, and were willing to contribute to the Tang Dynasty after admission."

The simple young man Ximen Guang suddenly asked, "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was allowed to do so when he was soft-hearted? That was fooled by the bald donkey in the Buddha Sect!"

Murong Qianfan heard this and said, "What do you call Your Majesty?"

Ximen Guang snorted, "I am a citizen of the demon clan, and I only have the emperor of my clan in my heart. I don't need a respectful title to the Tang Dynasty in private."

Murong Qianfan glanced at him and said, "No wonder, I said why do you have so many hairs on your face?"

"You!" Ximen Guang was a little angry, but because Lao Ke saved his life just now, it was difficult to get angry.

When the girls in Yinhu closed their mouths and laughed secretly when they heard this, Zhao Hanyu's mouth also quietly curved.

Lao Ke ignored everyone's laughter and continued, "Your Majesty did not agree immediately. Instead, he seriously considered the request from the Western Regions and designed a development path for the Buddha Sect. Your Majesty asked the Buddha Sect to send a group of high-quality disciples to Beijing to study. After several spring and autumn, after these disciples had the ability and qualifications to teach, they would plan to help them establish a college. About 150 years ago, the Sumeru Academy of the Buddha Sect was finally established in Chang'an. At that time, I had accepted the invitation of the Murong family and left this world."

Murong Qianfan sighed and said, "Your Majesty is like a sea of ​​thought, I hope you won't feed the dog in the end."

"What's wrong with dogs? Dogs are the most loyal animals. Don't insult dogs, okay?" Ximen Guang felt angry when he heard Murong Qianfan's metaphor.

"Oh, it turns out you are a dog clan?" Murong Qianfan asked at him with a look of surprise.

"You~! Humph! I won't talk to a cunning human like you!" Ximen Guang was constantly disappointed, suffering from his clumsy mouth, so he had to turn his head and sulk.

Zhao Hanyu couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled his close friend and said, "I was standing side by side against the enemy not long ago. Don't do this to others, it's not good."

Murong Qianfan nodded and stopped talking.

Lao Ke continued: "From the beginning of the establishment of the Sumeru Academy, Your Majesty has been reduced to the imperial examination every three years, and the world meeting is held. The purpose is to attract the world's talents, select talents and appoint talents, only talent is the right choice, regardless of origin, and no grudges. This move not only facilitates the disciples of the Buddhist sect, but also benefits all the people of the mainland. Your Majesty is eager to seek talent, and his kindness is even more high in the sky and vast in the sea. The merits are chasing the ancestors and Taizong, and they live up to the name of the heroic lord."

Ximen Guang said: "Senior Ke, I set out from Tianjing City, passed through the Forest of the Swirl Shadow, crossed the vast Akihabara, and came to the capital from thousands of miles to participate in the World Conference next year. I didn't know the origin of the World Conference before, but today I said it clearly, thank you for yours!"

The girls in Yinhu also nodded, secretly praising Lao Ke for his rich experience.

Zhao Hanyu also wanted to participate. He thought for a while and asked, "Old Ke, what are the requirements for participating in this world? What are the rules? In addition, since it was due to the Buddhist sect, what are their results in participating?"

Lao Ke smiled and said, "Brother Zhao's questions are all about ideas. If ordinary people want to participate, they must first pre-test. Only by passing the pre-test can they participate. The disciples recommended by the five academies in Beijing can participate directly. However, these direct contestants are all geniuses with excellent talents and young fame, and they are all treasures of various academies. As for the achievements of the Buddhist sect, it is funny. They have never won the top three in more than a hundred years. It's a pity that His Majesty has made good efforts."

"Hmph! Apart from elders and elders, these junior disciples of the Buddha Sect are all wine bags? It's useless!" Murong Qianfan was quite contemptuous.

"Young master, you can't say that. Just now, I can be considered a young talent, who is already in his early twenties. There are some tricks in his palm when he escaped, which may be the legendary Buddhist sect's unique skill "Immortal Seal". But he is still young and not too old. Haven't you ever experienced him? Can you beat him?"

"I'm only fifteen years old, okay? When I'm twenty, I'll keep it and teach him how to be a human being!" Murong Qianfan said angrily.

Lao Ke smiled and refused to comment.

Ximen Guang snorted, looking quite dissatisfied.

Zhao Hanyu looked up at the sky. The sun was already west. He looked at Lao Ke and asked, "Old Ke, it's getting late now. I don't know how far it is to get to the capital. What should we do next? You have rich experience and everything will be arranged by you."

The girls from Yinhu looked at each other several times and nodded to agree to Lao Ke's decision.

Lao Ke said, "There are about a hundred miles to go to the capital. Today we have a fight, and the girls must be a little tired. Let's just camp here for a rest. Later, Lao I, the young master, Ximen, went to catch some wild game, and asked Zhao to treat the girls' injuries. Don't leave any hidden diseases. What do you think?"

Everyone praised Lao Ke for his thoughtful idea, but no objection.
