I was an immortal emperor in the Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 288
In Jinshan Temple, Monk Fahai is sitting on the cloud bed, the relic light between his eyebrows is swallowing, the sound of Buddha is lingering around, and the air of sandalwood permeates the meditation room. Suddenly, Monk Fahai slowly opened his eyes, and there is a The golden light flashed and disappeared.

"Master Abbot, news from Chang'an City." A young monk's voice came from outside.

After the Western Expedition, Fa Hai left Daxiangguo Temple and came to Jinshan Temple after the Great Sui Dynasty. He saw the beautiful scenery of Jinshan Temple, so he simply became the abbot of Jinshan Temple.

"Why is it so sad?" Fa Hai called the little novice in, opened the letter, and found the little novice with a sad expression on his face, and asked immediately.

"The words of returning to the abbot are now spread outside. The imperial court has withdrawn the certificate and is about to issue a new certificate. If you want a new certificate, you need to take the exam held by Si Tiantai. Only those who have passed the exam can get the certificate. This is true for all Taoist sects." The little novice said hastily.

"Oh! What else is there?" After hearing this, Monk Fahai's face became serious. This is something that is not good for Buddhism.

Now he opened the letter and saw the contents of the letter. This was the news from the Daxiangguo Temple. The information inside was more detailed, not only about the method of the exam, but also guessed the reason for this matter.

"What a joke, do Western Buddhist disciples also need to take the exam after they go down to earth?" Monk Fahai was a little dissatisfied immediately.The above content is too restrictive, it is simply impossible to achieve.

Even if it were realized, it would be an insult to Buddhism.

Of course, Monk Fahai also knew that this regulation was aimed at those mortal Buddhist or Taoist disciples, but even so, Monk Fahai was not happy.

The Buddha worships the Tathagata, and the Dao respects the Sanqing.They are all outlaws, when will it be the court's turn to take care of them.

"The emperor has great ambitions, but reality will tell you." Monk Fahai threw the letter aside.

In his opinion, this kind of thing is almost impossible to achieve. It is impossible for Buddhism and Taoism to let their foundation in the world be controlled by other people, even if this person is the emperor.

What he didn't know was that Buddhism is Buddhism, and Taoism is Taoism. Some practices of Taoism are ignored. Purdue sentient beings.

In the Sui Dynasty, the number of Taoist temples was far less than that of Buddhism, and the number of people was also smaller than that of Buddhism.

Longhushan Tianshi Mansion, Zhang Zhengci looked at the imperial decree in his hand. The imperial decree came from Chang'an, and he wanted to go to Chang'an by himself to participate in the imperial examination proposition of Buddhism and Taoism.If it is just to meet the emperor, he is naturally willing to go, but if it is to participate in the imperial examination proposition of Buddhism and Taoism, he is a little hesitant.

"Grandfather." He didn't dare to neglect, and hurried to the back mountain to meet his grandfather Zhang Hui.

"The emperor is very talented and general. This is to clamp down on the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism. In fact, it has no effect on my Taoism, but for Buddhism, it is like putting a cover around my neck. The eastward advancement of Buddhism is about to begin. The golden cicada has already descended to earth, and will soon go west, at this time, the emperor's move is quite interesting." Zhang Hui's spirit is full of immortality, his whole body is full of immortality.

"Buddhism is powerful, isn't the emperor afraid that Buddhism will retaliate?" Zhang Zhengci couldn't help asking.

"Buddhism is suspected of hiding filth, so the emperor is going to clean up the source. There is nothing wrong with it. It is a conspiracy. Who dares to object, and if he dares to object, it means that he is really hiding filth." Zhang He shook his head back.

"You can go and participate in this matter." Zhang Hui ordered: "The eastward advancement of Buddhism is a general trend, but I don't know what it will look like after the general trend. This time, His Majesty the Emperor uses us as a knife, so let him be fulfilled. As for the final result, it doesn't matter. This time, you bring a pair of dragon and tiger Zhengyi God Thunder Talisman left by the ancestor himself, and present it to the emperor." Zhang Hui urged.

"Grandfather, isn't it too expensive?" Zhang Zhengci hesitated.

"Although I don't know why Buddhism hates the emperor, this is an opportunity for my Taoist sect, so I can't miss it." Zhang Hui waved his hand and said, "Besides, the emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty is different from other emperors. This person may be a human being." Emperor, getting married to him is of great benefit to me, Longhushan."

"Yes." Zhang Zhengci didn't dare to be negligent, and hurried to the treasure house to get the Longhu Zhengyi God Thunder Talisman, and his body transformed into a long rainbow and disappeared in Longhu Mountain.

In the land of Jiangzhou, in the middle of Famen Temple, the ancient Buddha who burned the lamp was teaching Xuanzang to read Buddhist scriptures. There were footsteps outside, and the abbot of Famen Temple walked in with a sad face.

"Abbot, what happened?" Master Kurong asked upon seeing this.

"Senior brother, the emperor has issued an imperial decree. All the current certificates of my Buddhism and Taoism are cancelled. If you want to get it, you must pass the exam. Otherwise, you will be a wild fox Zen." It's a shame to have to take an exam.

When the ancient Buddha who burned the lamp heard it, his complexion changed drastically.He snorted coldly and said, "Why is this so? Isn't there any objection?"

"If you go back to senior brother, what else can you do? It's an excuse to be caught by His Majesty! There are temples in the name of Buddha, and it's fine to collect money. They also broke the rules and regulations, and were sued to His Majesty. The two sects of Buddhism and Taoism may be suspected of hiding evil people and practices, and the Huoshan Order suggested re-examination of the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, which is why it happened." Neng smiled wryly.

The ancient Buddha who burned the lamp heard this, and was secretly angry in his heart. He knew that the so-called hiding filth and evil people was just an excuse, and the real reason was that he took Xuanzang away and hated Yang Guang, so what happened today.

"In that case, let's do as the emperor ordered! I am a person who is proficient in Buddhism, can't I just take the exam? I think the emperor's assessment is probably just Buddhism." The ancient Buddha who burned the lamp ordered.

"Yes." Neng Ren felt helpless and could only retreat secretly.

"If you don't show some means, you, the emperor, will be underestimated. If you don't respect the Buddha, why should you be punished like this." After Neng Ren stepped back, Ran Deng stretched out his right hand to the north.Although the matter is small, it has broken my skin.

Only suddenly, Ran Deng withdrew his fingers again.Looking at the void, he said lightly, "Friend Lishan, what is your reason?"

"Nanzhan Buzhou, a place in the world, if the emperor does something wrong, it is natural to have the judgment of heaven, or cut his lifespan, or bring disasters, or cause the dynasty to be destroyed. Buddha intervenes in this matter, isn't he afraid of getting involved? Are you in the world of mortals?" A little divine light flickered, and the figure of Lishan's old mother appeared in the void.

The Ancient Buddha of Burning Lamp had a bad face when he heard that, so he could only say indifferently: "Since fellow Taoist is protecting Yang Guang, the poor monk has nothing to say."
