After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

In the name of the imperial court, Li Xiujing came to Shenyuan in person to find Pei Jiaoran and convey the Wei Emperor's edict. It was already afternoon when Shen Yunzhou received the news and arrived.

Shen Yuan was his territory after all, so he just passed the message and went to the waterside pavilion where he would receive guests. When he arrived, Pei Jiaoran seemed to be in high spirits.

Today, Pei Jiaoran wore a vermillion skirt, a pale long-sleeved shirt, and a few tasseled hostas on her head. And looking at the man on the side, he is wearing armor and wearing a purple robe. With just a thought, he guessed the identity of this person.

"General Li." Shen Yunzhou stepped forward and cupped his hands.

Looking at Shen Yunzhou, Li Xiujing turned to look at Pei Jiaoran. When he saw her nodding, she held her hand in her hand and said, "Shen Jishi."

Inviting Shen Yunzhou to take a seat, Pei Jiaoran said with a smile, "Shen Jishi is so smart. You can guess who he is before he says anything."

"Just a random guess."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said: "Shen Jishi came just in time. General Li and I are discussing the matter of capturing Xuan Jing. Xuan Jing recited dharma to bring harm to the public and confused the people, and the court has already known about it."

"What does Mr. Pei mean?" Shen Yunzhou asked.

I will take a trip myself. If we can avoid conflicts with the people, we will not have conflicts. "Pei Jiaoran put down the teacup in his hand and spoke slowly, "My goal is just Xuanjing. "

"Understood. Someone from the people's side will personally comfort them, so Mr. Pei can rest assured."

"That's good."

Shen Yunzhou came here originally to inquire about Li Xiujing's purpose of coming to Yangzhou. Knowing that the other party was here to assist Pei Jiaoran, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After reporting what happened on the river, he stood up and left.

After Shen Yunzhou left, Li Xiujing walked over to Pei Jiaoran and sat down. He stretched his arms around her waist and leaned against her tightly. He murmured: "What do you think he is here for?"

"I'm probably worried that the imperial court has sent you to be the governor of eastern Zhejiang. Huan Qi has been betting on him for so many years. How can he let others get his hands on the opportunity he finally waited for?" The brush fell on his waist. Taking his hand, Pei Jiaoran stood up and said, "He Liang should be here too, right? Let him prepare, we have to go."

After dinner in the garden, dusk fell. Li Xiujing ordered He Liang and other personal guards to disguise themselves as retinues, and went with Pei Jiaoran to the place where Xuanjing was giving lectures. He also ordered everyone to carry powerful crossbows.

Outside the garden, Li Xiujing changed into a crotchless robe and rode on a horse. When she saw Pei Jiaoran coming out, she waved to her.

Looking at Li Xiujing, who was quite conspicuous in the crowd, Pei Jiaoran frowned, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm here. If someone takes the opportunity to cause trouble, you don't have to worry about so many things. Besides, I also want to go back to this Xuanjing."

When he stopped talking, Pei Jiaoran glanced at him and got into the BMW gold car that had been prepared. This was something she specially asked to prepare. In addition, she also changed into a moon-white Taoist robe, held a dust tail with a jade lotus-shaped carving at the end, and wore a far-traveling crown on her head.

The blowing wind just lifted the curtain. At this time, Li Xiujing was driving his horse to the carriage. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but be slightly shocked.

When he came to his senses, the curtain had already fallen. Recalling the lonely eyebrows and eyes she had just seen, Li Xiujing sighed.

By the time Pei Jiaoran and his party arrived at the Dharma Propaganda Platform in the east of the city, dusk was already deep.

Taking Zhou Mancao's hand to get out of the carriage, Pei Jiaoran looked towards the Dharma Propaganda Platform in the distance.

The summer sun is scorching during the day, and not many people are involved in preaching. As the weather gets cooler at night, more and more people are willing to listen to the lectures.

Xuanjing, who was dressed in turban, stood on the lectern and carefully lit the lotus candles around him. Then he sat cross-legged in the middle of the lotus lantern, with a faint smile on his not-so-young face, and compassion in his eyes. His lips moved slightly and his tone was soft.

The people listening to the sutra in the audience raised their heads and looked at Xuanjing.

Pei Jiaoran has been living in seclusion since she came to Yangzhou, and no one recognized her identity. She thought she was a female member of a noble family who came to listen to the scriptures. After all, Xuanjing was enshrined in Huan Qi's mansion before.

What Xuanjing was talking about at this time was the Manjushri Prajna Sutra.

The establishment of Zen Buddhism relies on the one line and three flavors of the "Manjushri Prajna Sutra" and the second is based on the "Lenga Sutra", which takes the mind as its sect.

Xuanjing has a sweet voice and his explanations of scriptures are approachable.

After listening for a long time, Pei Jiaoran was cold. Move to the lecture platform.

"I have a Buddha heart and a Buddha nature. I don't know if there is a place for me here." Pei Jiaoran said with a smile.

Xuanjing on the high platform lowered his head and looked at Pei Jiaoran. He didn't know whether others recognized this person. But he already recognized the other party's identity.

"Since the donor has a Buddha's heart, there is nothing wrong with discussing the Tao." Xuanjing smiled slightly.

Despite the opposition from the believers below, Pei Jiaoran slowly walked onto the altar to preach. After she sat down, the objections from below became even louder. However, she just looked at Xuan Jing with a smile.

"The transformation of the Buddha, although it is born with vastness and is beyond the sight and hearing, is based on respect. The reason why the recluse lives and lives is to use it to regulate fate. How can he accept his virtues and leave his rituals behind? What a waste of respect for his kindness! It is both intolerable and unsettling." Pei Jiaoran's tone was gentle.

After saying that, Xuanjing raised his eyes and stood up, bowed and saluted.

Xuanjing's actions made the believers below even more excited. If He Liang and others hadn't stopped him in front, they would have probably rushed forward.

Understanding that the other party came prepared, Xuanjing sighed: "What does the donor want to discuss with the young monk?"

"The Biography of the Barbarians in the Book of Song once said that 'Buddhism has been transformed into China for several generations. There are thousands of pagodas and temples in the form of images. If you go in, you can draw your heart, and if you retreat, you can persuade.'" Pei Jiaoran looked at Xuanjing and said, "'Talking to oneself Since then, sincerity has not been the most important thing, but extravagance and competition have been the most important thing. The old building has fallen into decay and has not been repaired. Instead, everyone has built new ones to praise each other. The wood, bamboo, and copper colors are extremely wasted. 'Zen Master Xuanjing, do you think this Buddha is evil or good?"

The other party asked a tricky question as soon as he came up. Ask those who worship Buddha whether he is good or evil.

The believers in the audience were furious after hearing this. How can a Buddha be evil? The Buddha's Dharma can help people in the world, which is naturally good.

When the audience calmed down again, Xuan Jing recited the Buddha's name for a long time and said: "It is good to persuade people to do good, and what the Buddha says is good. Buddha is naturally good."

"Since the Buddha is good, why does Shi Jilong still take pleasure in abusing babies?" Pei Jiaoran said coldly, "You Buddha said that the spirit of a person is immortal after death, and he will take the form again, and all the good and evil he did during his life will have retribution. So. You should do good deeds and cultivate the Tao, and cultivate your spirit endlessly, so that you can do nothing, and then you can become a Buddha. However, killing will get evil rewards, and doing good will get blessings. However, if a goose eats green grass and does not eat living animals, the result is that it will inevitably kill people. But the flying swallows fly in search of food, and only the flying insects are sweet, but they are loved by people and let them live among the beams. How can there be any retribution?"

"Donor Pei's remarks are biased."

"I asked the Zen Master whether the Buddha is good or evil. The Zen Master said that the Buddha is good, but if he is good, why do people who worship the Buddha in their homes kill lives and take pleasure in the lives of others!"
