In Chang 'an Fortress, many people marched forward quickly.

Someone pulled one of them back.”

"Don't you know? Many high-ranking officials went to watch the Water and Land Law Conference.”

"Oh? What's the point of that?”

"Don't you know? True Immortal Ye Tong, who had written "Nine Cauldrons Shattering Void" and "Mausoleum of Gods and Demons" and filmed "Legend of Wukong", had also gone.”

"Oh? Let's go together. Wait for me!"

The Aquatic Spiritual Conference had been going on for six days, and it had never been so lively.

"His Majesty also went!"

"What is it? The Emperor also went to the Water and Land Conference? I have to go and take a look too."

Water and Land Spiritual Conference.

The table was full of distinguished guests.

The Buddhist disciples had vacated a large number of futons in the front row for the new high officials and nobles.

"Zen Master Jinguang," Li Shimin stepped forward.”

Zen Master Jinguang said,"Your Majesty, it's my honor to have you here!"”

Li Shimin waved his hand." Back then, the Sui Dynasty was in chaos. I tried to avoid being hunted down. I was even saved by the Shaolin Temple's staff-using monks.”

Zen Master Jinguang: " This means that Your Majesty has a Buddhist affinity.”

"I have a matter…" Li Shiming whispered.

"Not long ago, a Dragon King asked me for help in a dream. He said that a Taoist priest named Yuan Shoucheng had harmed the Jing River Water Tribe and asked me to help him.”

"I sent Wei Zheng to look for Yuan Chengcheng, but he didn't find him.”

"In the past two days, the Dragon King visited me in my dream again, saying that I had failed him and that he had already died. This Dragon King keeps coming to me in my dreams, making me restless…"

Zen Master Jinguang couldn't solve this problem. He whispered,""Your Majesty, the Spiritual Conference of Land and Water has ended.”

"Alright, I'll be waiting." Li Shimin heaved a sigh of relief.”

Ye Tong also sat on the futon in the front row.

"Ye Tong?"”

"Your Majesty?" Ye Tong turned around.

Li Shimin smiled." A few days ago, I asked Li Ke to bring Jin Yang to your shop to play. I didn't expect that you and Princess Heluo weren't there."”

Ye Tong scratched his head.”

"Oh?" It seems that you have really become an immortal as Wei Zheng said?”

"Yes."

Li Shiming smiled." Then I'll get Li Ke to bring Jin Yang over. He won't leave soon, right?"”

"No, no."

After the conversation, the two of them turned back to look at Tang Sanzang, who was lecturing on Buddhism in the main seat.

Tang Sanzang was talking about the Hinayana Buddhism.

The Hinayana Buddhism teachings were very Zen, but not many people listened to it seriously.

After a long time, Tang Sanzang looked around and bowed to Li Shimin."Your Majesty."

"Grandmaster, there's no need to be so formal.”Li Shimin thought to himself,'I'll finish it in two sentences so that I can deal with my matters.'

Tang Sanzang nodded and then looked at Ye Tong.""Benefactor Ye, someone told me that benefactor is fated with Buddha.”

Ye Tong waved his hand.”

"How do you know there's no such thing, benefactor?" Tang Sanzang smiled.”

"How can I not know my own business?" Ye Tong said angrily.”

"I heard that you're currently filming 'Bright Spring Light, Canopy Pig'?"”

"There really is such a thing."

Patron, why don't you take a picture of my Buddha?"

Ye Tong smiled. I'm just afraid you can't stand it.

Tang Sanzang saw that Ye Tong did not answer." Benefactor, I heard that benefactor likes to tell stories. This Penniless Monk also has a story to tell benefactor."”

"Oh?" "Please speak." Ye Tong raised her hand.

Tang Sanzang: " A famous Zen master is about to die. His disciples are sitting around him, waiting for their master to tell them the secrets of life and the primeval world. The Zen Master remained silent and closed his eyes.

Suddenly he asked his disciple, How can I get rid of weeds? The disciples were dumbfounded. They did not expect the Zen Master to ask such a simple question.

A disciple said to use a shovel to remove all the weeds! The Zen Master nodded with a smile.

Another disciple said that he could burn the grass with a fire! The Zen Master was still smiling.

The third disciple said that it would be removed by sprinkling lime on the grass! The Zen Master was still smiling.

The fourth disciple said that none of their methods worked. If they didn't remove the roots, they had to remove the roots and dig out the roots.

After the disciples finished speaking, the Zen master said," All of you have spoken very well. From tomorrow onwards, divide this grassland into several pieces and remove the weeds on the ground according to your own methods. We will meet again at this place next year!"

In the second year, the disciples came here early. They had tried all kinds of methods to eradicate the weeds, but they could not. They had long given up on this task. Now, they just wanted to see what kind of method the Zen Master used.

The Zen Master's original overgrown land had disappeared, replaced by golden crops.

The disciples immediately realized that the best way to get rid of weeds was to plant crops in the weeds. They sat down around the crops. The crops had matured, but the Zen master had already passed away. This was the last lesson that the Zen masters gave them, and the disciples all shed tears of gratitude.”

After Tang Sanzang finished speaking, he smiled." Benefactor, you don't have to say that you believe in Buddha. You just have to do it. You will follow the Buddha's fate, understand the Buddha's way, and have boundless merit with the reclining Buddha."”

Ye Tong was stunned. This guy was too shameless. Did this mean that everything he did was all thanks to Buddha?

"Elder Tang, I have a story about a Zen master here." Ye Tong thought for a moment.”

"Oh?" I didn't expect Almsgiver Ye to also know about Zen. Please speak.”

Ye Tong said,"The young man asked Zen Master,"My ambition is noble and pure. I'm untainted by the mud. I can't accommodate this filthy world.”The Zen master took out a bag and asked the young man to put the garbage in it. The young man quickly filled it up, and the Zen master took out another bag. The young man suddenly understood." Are you saying that as long as you have a broad enough mind, you can accommodate this world?"”The Zen Master shook his head and pointed at the bag.""Continue pretending."
