Chapter 544

Zhangsun Wuji and Master Bianji, who were in cahoots, parted ways in a hurry.

The two of them had only cooperated because of interests; now that disaster was imminent, they each went their own way.

"Bang!"

A sound of a door opening rang out, and Xuanzang walked in from outside in a hurry.

"Senior brother? You're back so soon? How is the situation?"

Seeing Xuanzang, Master Bianji's eyes lit up immediately.

That's right!

The reason Xuanzang went to the Imperial Palace in Changancheng was precisely because of him!

Master Bianji used Xuanzang's kindness to make him go to the Imperial Palace and ask Qin Mu to establish Buddhism as the state religion.

Xuanzang is a very talented person, and being eloquent is not a problem for him.

Master Bianji was precisely looking at this point in Xuanzang, which is why he let him go and fool Qin Mu.

If Buddhism truly becomes the state religion of Great Qin, then Master Bianji's status will increase day by day.

He believed that with his own strength and wit, he could make all the people in the world believe in Buddhism and turn to worship him as a god!

By that time.

The common people of the world would all be under his control.

Even if Qin Mu is powerful, he cannot defeat the people of the world.

This is all of Master Bianji's plans.

It must be said.

He is indeed a rare person who deserves to be Qin Mu's opponent.

With such schemes, if he hadn't met Qin Mu, perhaps he could really have achieved a great cause.

It's just a pity.

There is only one person in this world who can reach the peak.

That person is naturally not Master Bianji.

"Junior brother, senior brother has some words he wants to ask you; I wonder if it's convenient?"

Xuanzang didn't answer Master Bianji's question and asked coldly.

As the abbot of Jin Shan Temple, Master Bianji must know everything.

Xuanzang wanted to verify his own thoughts; as long as he asked him, he would know.

"Senior brother, what's wrong with you?"

Master Bianji looked up and glanced at Xuanzang, whose face didn't look very good, and couldn't help but feel curious.

Xuanzang had always been calm and peaceful, and his cultivation had already reached a certain level; what exactly happened today?

"Junior brother, senior brother wants to ask you, does the fertile land under our Jin Shan Temple belong to our Jin Shan Temple?"

Xuanzang continued to ask.

He couldn't wait to know the answer.

"I thought it was something; is it just this?" Master Bianji was somewhat speechless and nodded, saying: "This is natural; the ten thousand acres of fertile land around Jin Shan Temple all belong to us."

"Then what about those farmers who work diligently? They work at sunrise and rest at sunset, never daring to slack off for a moment, just to be able to exchange for a mouthful of food. Two years ago, the world was in chaos, and various disasters emerged one after another; not only did our Jin Shan Temple not help the people at all, but we actually had to squeeze a grain of food from their hands—have we, Jin Shan Temple, fallen to such a point?"

Xuanzang was angry to the extreme, his whole face turning red.

He never dreamed that everything Qin Mu said was true.

The ten thousand acres of fertile land around Jin Shan Temple actually all belonged to the temple.

Xuanzang collapsed.

For so many years, what have I been doing?

Letting so many believers become monks—isn't that indirectly harming the people, increasing their burden, and letting them support more people?

And the monks?

Just by practicing Zen and chanting Buddha in the temple, they can have endless grain to eat and endless wealth to enjoy.

What exactly does this world look like?

What exactly is right?

What exactly is wrong?

Xuanzang could no longer distinguish.

"Senior brother, that's not right! The ten thousand acres of fertile land around our Jin Shan Temple given to the people to farm is already giving them a way to live. They are too late to be grateful! How can you say it's Jin Shan Temple's fault?"

Master Bianji said indifferently.

They are just some mere unruly people; giving them a mouthful of food is already an act of kindness and virtue; what else do they want?

"Junior brother, do you also think so?"

Xuanzang looked at Master Bianji before him, unable to believe it, as if seeing a stranger.

Master Bianji is full of benevolence and morality, promoting the delivery of all living beings everywhere, and is even called a living Buddha by others.

And only Xuanzang could see how hypocritical this person really is.

Suddenly!

Xuanzang realized!

Isn't the Master Bianji at this moment the same as himself in front of Qin Mu before? What is the difference between himself and him?
