Chapter 535

Inside the main hall.

Xuanzang stood with his hands pressed together, his expression calm.

"This poor monk greets Your Majesty!"

When he saw Qin Mu walking in from outside, he bowed respectfully.

It can be seen.

Xuanzang is not an arrogant person.

"You are Master Xuanzang?"

Qin Mu looked Xuanzang up and down and asked.

Establish Buddhism as the state religion! (Please subscribe!)

"This poor monk Xuanzang has come specifically to save the common people of Great Qin!"

Xuanzang's tone was very bold; as soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted to save the common people of the world.

"Where did this monk come from? What a big tone!"

Princess Changle muttered on the side.

In her mind, only one person has the ability to save the world.

That person is Qin Mu!

Apart from Qin Mu, no one else can be mentioned in the same breath.

Li Er and Fang Xuanling exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat complex.

This Xuanzang is not an unknown person.

He became a monk at Jin Shan Temple when he was young, has extremely high talent for Buddhist teachings, and also possesses a Bodhisattva's heart, enjoying a high reputation near Changancheng.

Many Buddhist believers travel thousands of miles to Jin Shan Temple just to see Xuanzang.

Qin Mu didn't care about Xuanzang's words and asked calmly: "Since the Master intends to offer guidance on the state, please do not hesitate to enlighten us."

Hearing this, a flash of light flickered in Xuanzang's eyes.

Standing at the very peak of power, his state of mind remained as calm as water.

This person is indeed not simple!

"Amitabha! Your Majesty, as the saying goes, all living beings suffer; Your Majesty has been fighting for years, the people are suffering, and the northern border is even more devastated. At this very moment, Your Majesty should save the suffering, promote Buddhist teachings, and deliver all living beings."

Xuanzang stated the thoughts in his heart.

Actually.

He didn't break into the Imperial Palace on a whim, but witnessed Qin Mu's actions and believed that Qin Mu was an accomplished monarch who might truly be able to save the common people of the world.

Since ancient times.

The people have suffered many disasters.

If one wants to make them feel happy, promoting Buddhist teachings is the best way.

Xuanzang has always firmly believed this in his heart.

"How can you, a monk, speak like that? If it weren't for my husband, who knows how many more people in the Central Plains would have died. With hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops moving south, the northern border was like a living hell; my husband led his army to drive those invaders out—is he also the culprit behind the devastation?"

Li Xueyan couldn't hold back, her pretty face turning red with anger.

This monk speaks so unreasonably!

He doesn't distinguish right from wrong at all.

"Amitabha! War is killing. Buddhist teachings say that all who commit evil deeds are treated equally."

"Whether it is the Turks or Great Tang, they are all lives bestowed by Heaven, and no one has the right to take their lives," Xuanzang said calmly.

"You!"

"You are being completely unreasonable! Is it right for those Turkic armies to slaughter the people of the Central Plains?"

Wu Meiniang also couldn't help but retort.

What life or no life?

In this era of great contention, only the strong can survive.

This theory of equality for all living beings can only be promoted in times of peace and prosperity.

Li Er and Fang Xuanling didn't speak, just stood quietly on the side.

They were happy to see such a scene.

If someone can cause trouble for Qin Mu, isn't that something to be wished for?

"So that's how it is; the Master wants the people to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures, and wants the army to put down their swords..."

Qin Mu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

One sentence went straight to the point.

Since one wants to promote Buddhist teachings, it means losing one's ferocity and the means to kill.

In this way.

When foreign races invade, all that awaits the people of the Central Plains is death.

Is this fair to the people?

Killing the heart with words!

This question was asked with a very high level of skill!

"Let foreign races slaughter the Central Plains?"

"Amitabha, all living beings suffer; what Your Majesty says is indeed not without reason. But only Buddhist teachings can make the people let go of hatred and pain, and allow them to live a happier life."

"It is painful for a person to live with hatred; if a group of people live with hatred, their hearts will gradually become twisted. Buddhist teachings can soothe the emotions of the people, which is also beneficial to Your Majesty's rule, isn't it?"

Qin Mu's words caused a ripple in Xuanzang's calm heart, but he still had to insist on stating his own point of view.

Xuanzang became a monk when he was young; he was born to be a monk.

Promoting Buddhist teachings is also Xuanzang's life mission.

He had already prepared to go to Tianzhu to seek the true scriptures.

It's just that an accident occurred during this period.

That is Qin Mu entering and taking control of Changancheng!

With such a major event happening, Xuanzang decided to postpone seeking the true scriptures and instead came to the Imperial Palace alone, hoping to use Buddhist teachings to eliminate Qin Mu's ferocity.

Xuanzang had also heard a little about the story of the Cui family in Handu being wiped out.

Even at Jin Shan Temple, thousands of miles away, one could smell the terrifying scent of blood.

That massacre shocked the entire world and also shook Xuanzang's heart.

He was very worried.

If Qin Mu enters and takes control of the Central Plains and establishes a powerful empire.

Will the demons in his heart be released?

Will he slaughter the common people of the world because of his own likes and dislikes?

Xuanzang cares about the people and must confirm this matter personally.

But when conversing with Qin Mu, Xuanzang felt that he seemed somewhat unable to handle it.

Qin Mu was not angry, and his emotions didn't fluctuate in the slightest.

On the contrary, he himself seemed to have lost his footing in what he was saying, and was somewhat aggressive.

"Master, if you can explain a few things for me, perhaps I can agree to your promoting Buddhist teachings, and even establish Buddhism as the state religion of Great Qin."

Qin Mu laughed, as if he were telling a joke.

But Xuanzang looked up abruptly, his eyes full of expectation.

Great!

Isn't the great wish of his life precisely this?

Promote Buddhist teachings and deliver all living beings!

"Your Majesty, please ask; this poor monk will naturally know everything and say everything."

Xuanzang nodded and said.

Wu Meiniang on the side was somewhat nervous.

"Husband..."

She called out to Qin Mu softly, her eyes full of worry.
