Nine hundred and twentieth eight chapters before the fight
In the Chang'an Heavenly Prison, Xuanzang sat cross-legged and closed his eyes and recited sutras, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
Time returned to when Hou Junji and Li Ji went to Shaolin to find him. At this time, Shaolin had no defense or popularity, so Xuanzang and the five remaining old monks in Shaolin Temple were all arrested.
Abbot Tan Bei shouted loudly that Shaolin Temple was a Buddhist place licensed by the imperial court, and even a general should not arrest anyone for no reason.
Hou Junji sneered and told him about Xuanzang's actions in the Battle of the Tianzhu Sea. Since Shaolin Temple stood there on the spot, he didn't expect that Xuanzang was so confused. Even if he helped the Tianzhu Navy defeat the Tang Dynasty Navy, you should keep this matter confidential and not spread it to the Tang Dynasty. Now, Buddhism is walking on thin ice. Once it is spread, wouldn't it be even worse?
Xuanzang just closed his eyes and chanted the scriptures without paying attention to it, and did not argue for himself at all. Of course, he did not admit what he did. He was not stupid. Is there any evidence in Hou Junji's hands? Will it be confirmed if he admits it? As long as there is no evidence, he will not die, and he even dare not do anything to himself, because his backing is the entire Buddhist sect.
If Hou Junji knew that in the main hall of the Jieji Dynasty, Xuanzang even wanted King Jieji to lead his troops into the Tang Dynasty to rescue the Tang Dynasty Buddhism, I wonder if Hou Junji and Li Ji would kill Xuanzang here on the spot?
Even if Xuanzang pleaded not guilty, Hou Junji would not let him go. He was arrested and locked up in the prison. In Hou Junji's eyes, this person would die.
However, Hou Junji did not expect that the Buddhist sect, which was almost burned to death, came forward to seek people, and even incited people from the world to create rumors together, causing great trouble to the court. At this time, Li Er even called Hou Junji over and cursed him. Since he wanted to kill someone, he had to make a proof of his ironclad evidence or directly killed him on the spot. Now that he has a tail that is not up or down, the court has a big head. Who will solve it?
Hou Junji was speechless. If you hadn't sent Li Ji to say that this person could not be killed, how could I have brought the living people back? I must have brought his head to pay tribute to the sacrificed soldiers.
At the same time, Bai Fan came to the Heavenly Prison alone and met the legendary Tang Monk. Perhaps he was the powerful monk he admired when he was a child in his previous life, but in this life, his identity and position were limited, so he was destined to be the same person as him. Perhaps it was because he met a real Tang Monk, which was different from his ideals, or perhaps it was because of his own beliefs in his heart.
In short, the current situation is that one person is in prison and the other person is outside.
Bai Fan firmly believed that the news about Hou Junji said that Xuanzang was in contact with the enemy, because although Hou Junji was a small person, he would not have turned the black and white against slandered a monk, and he could not afford to lose this person.
Of course, Bai Fan could also understand Xuanzang's approach. If a person's belief in his heart is too sacred, he may have long since no matter what country or region. For Xuanzang, the Pure Land of Buddhism far exceeds the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
It seemed that he felt someone staring at him outside the prison gate. Xuanzang slowly opened his eyes. The place he entered was an ordinary scholar in white who he didn't know.
Although Xuanzang passed away in the second year of Zhenguan, Bai Fan was already well-known at that time, but after all, it was not something that everyone had seen and known.
"The donor's eyebrows are introverted. Although his whole body is dull, his weapon is extraordinary. Could it be that he is in front of the Tang Dynasty?" If he doesn't know him, Xuanzang might guess that there may be several types of people who can see him at this time. One is the enemy, who should be a military general, and the other is that the emperor sent him should be civil officials. The remaining type should be people who admire him, but it is possible that there are no such people in the Tang Dynasty.
So he directly guessed that it was Bai Fan.
Bai Fan smiled slightly: "Bai Fan, the master's name, has long heard of it. Seeing it today is a predecessor. But it's a pity that people say it's better to be famous than to meet, and the ancients really did not deceive me."
"I didn't expect that the famous and well-known Marquis of Lantian, the Tang Dynasty, was actually a hypocrite who laughed and ridiculed others as soon as they met. Haha, you probably have no time to reflect on yourself in such a way."
Xuanzang was able to travel all over India with the Buddhist tongue, so he was naturally not a fool.
Bai Fan shook his head and said, "I have no intention of ridiculing you as a prisoner. I just want to see you. According to my temperament back then, I will kill as many people as you who helped outsiders attack the Tang Dynasty. I won't kill you today because it's useful to keep you. Do you think anyone can save your life?"
"Hahahaha, I heard that Lantian Hou is the most fair in enforcing the law. Kill me? You probably don't dare to say that I am traitor and treason without any evidence. Why not be so worried about the crime? It's just a despicable way for your Taoist sect to escape from Buddhism and revenge." Xuanzang laughed wildly. At this time, there was no trace of the style of a monk.
Seeing this scene, Bai Fan's view of him fell to a higher level again. It seemed that Xuanzang, who returned to China early, practiced Buddhism in India for ten years, and his cultivation was not yet in place, and he was even a little crazy.
"Evidence? You probably don't know. I, Bai Fan, never tell the evidence when I kill someone, and no one asks me for evidence.
But for you, I am not going to kill you. I said it would be useful to keep you. Maybe there is a more cruel punishment in the world than killing. I think it is just right for you."
After saying that, Bai Fan turned around and walked out.
Xuanzang shouted: "Bai Fan, you Shura, you dare not fight with me because you are afraid. I am not afraid of death. Since I come back, I will naturally have the determination to feed demons with my body. If you have the ability, you will kill me."
Bai Fan's voice came from the gate of the Tianzhuo who was about to go out: "The Buddhist and Taoist battle in Chang'an will be held as usual. I have already made an appointment with you for cheerleading and invited the audience to witness it. My little disciple will appear on my behalf. I just hope that you, a monk who has traveled to the Buddhist Kingdom for ten years, will not lose too easily, and that will be boring."
Bai Fan, who had left the Heavenly Prison, came to the Dali Temple in Chang'an. There were too many people from all walks of life who were crying for justice for Xuanzang. When Bai Fan came, he stopped making trouble and gave way.
"Since you dare to say that it was my Bai Fan who captured Xuanzang, why did you make a fuss at Dali Temple and dare not go to Zhongnan Academy to argue with me? Since you are a man from the martial arts world, you don't even have the courage to be a warrior, don't you feel ashamed?" Bai Fan snorted coldly.
Most of the people here have something to do with Buddhism, and the second most are Buddhist believers.
"How dare we slander the Marquis of Lantian? The court came forward to arrest people. We naturally had to ask the court to argue. It would be unfair to capture Master Xuanzang for no reason."
