Shangguan Ziming and Huo Qiji looked at each other, and then said, "Please invite the two masters in!"

Huiyuan stepped into the door first, and Shi Huai followed closely. After entering, the two of them put their palms together and performed a Buddhist ceremony to the people present. Shi Huai said, "I have let you wait for a long time, please forgive me."

Shangguan Ziming smiled and said, "You are polite, two masters, please sit down quickly, just to drink a few cups of tea here. Master, our tea from Shikongmen is quite unique."

Shi Huai's eyes lit up, and it seemed that what Mr. Huo said was not false.

After sitting down with his master Huiyuan, Shi Huai smiled and said, "This tea is collected from the depths of Shikong Mountain, and the water used to make tea is also a clear spring in the mountain stream. People in Buddhism pay attention to the cultivation of the tea. This tea and water are just local materials, not some famous tea. If the prince does not dislike it, I can give you a few bags to the prince to try it."

Shangguan Ziming, who was putting down the tea bowl, looked up at Shi Huai and said with a smile: "Master, take this seriously? This prince remembers that his father also likes Xiangming."

Shi Huai was happy and replied in his voice: "I will prepare a copy for the king, including Mr. Huo and this general."

Huo Qiji said, "Huo thanked the master for his kindness, but in Liangzhou, Huo still has to go to his state. I am afraid that he will not have the effort to make tea, so wouldn't he waste the master's kindness in vain?"

Shi Huai was a little surprised, looked at the master, looked at Huo Qiji and said, "Is the layman in such a hurry to leave Liangzhou?"

Huo Qiji smiled and said, "There are several masters of Shikong Sect, and the king is worried. However, I have to worry about the deer-cutting building and pay more attention to it."

Shi Huai nodded and said, "After receiving the letter from Lingzun, I paid more attention to the movements of this sect. As for whether Junior Brother Shi Yuan was a person in the Deer Cutting Tower, I have no conclusive evidence."

Huo Qiji nodded and said, "Master, although it is an internal matter of your Shikong Sect, I still have to take the liberty to ask, what is the matter in Tubo Zen? I heard from Master Shi Yuan that this matter is not that simple."

Huiyuan, who had been closing his eyes to meditate since he entered the house and sat down, opened his eyes and said slowly: "This matter has something to do with me."

Although Huiyuan is a teacher of Shi Huai, the abbot of Shi Kong Sect is now a disciple of Shi Huai, so the affairs in the sect should be handled by Shi Huai. Therefore, after entering the door, he did not say much, but just sat aside.

The Dharma interpretation and humor in the Dharma Hall are already injured, and it is not advisable to discuss matters at this time. After all, Huo Qiji, who injured both of them, was in the house.

Shi Yuan, the head of the Precepts Hall, was imprisoned. Kong Wen, who had just taken over the position of the first, was arranging Shi Yuan in the Precepts Hall. As for the three Shi Yuan's confidants, they had also been imprisoned.

Huiyuan took action himself, and the three of them didn't even have a chance to resist, and they didn't dare to resist.

Shi Yuan did not succeed in the front hall at all. It was already a big trend. If they went out again, they might not get what they wanted.

As for the hundreds of monks on the martial arts training ground, they had been called back to the door by Kong Wen. Instead of letting them stare at the hundreds of guards, they might as well stare at the precepts hall.

For these hundred monks, Kong Wen's words are the most effective.

Among the Shikong Sect, only Master Huiyuan can come to accompany Shi Huai to discuss matters.

Huo Qiji had already said to Shu Huai, but he did not give in to Shu Huai's opinion, but said to Shu Huai: "What the Buddha wants to see is not how hard we speak to people how good I am, but that people can feel it. The Buddha is actually by their side, even in their hearts. We are not passing on the Buddha to others, but telling the world how to find the Buddha in our hearts."

Shi Huai seemed to understand why Huo Qiji was willing to climb the mountain again with courtesy.

Only by being polite can one be calm and reasonable.

Originally, Huiyuan didn't want to say much, but Huo Qiji's question involved the grudges of the previous generation, so he told him how the Tubo Zen Buddhism was established and what kind of relationship is it with their Shikong Sect now.

Before Huiyuan was the head of Shikong Sect, he and Huiming served as the head of the Dharma Hall and the Precepts Hall respectively. For some reason, their master did not choose Huiming, who had a high voice, to take over as the abbot, but chose Huiyuan.

Huiming asked his master why, and his master told him that Huiyuan's Buddhist practice is better than you, and you are competitive and strong, so you are not suitable to be the abbot of our Shikong Sect.

Huiming did not argue with his master because it was so much that it was useless to say more, but he left Shikong Sect with a package and went to Tubo.

He told Huiyuan that I want to prove that my Buddhism is no worse than yours.

But Huiming actually didn't know that even in terms of cultivation, he was even weaker than Huiyuan.

More than ten years later, Huiming returned once, and when he left again, he took away his eldest disciple, Shi Hong.

In this regard, Huiyuan, who was willing to see the Buddha's light shining, did not stop him and even gave him a large number of scriptures.

Zen Buddhism was established by Huiming and Shi Hong. For some reason, Huiming did not serve as the first abbot of Zen Buddhism, but was served by Shi Hong.

Speaking of this, Master Huiyuan seemed a little tired. He said to his disciples: "Let me go, you can talk about the next thing!"

Shi Huai nodded and continued to Huo Qiji and the other two, "This is because I forgot about my Buddhist teachings and became greedy. Shi Hong is my senior brother. After he established Zen Buddhism in Tubo, he did not break away from me. At that time, the master had already given up the position of the abbot of the Shi Kong Sect to me. He was meticulous in studying Buddhism."

Speaking of this, he stood up and bowed to Shangguan Ziming and said, "Your Highness, it is my fault that has made the king suffer. Now, the king treats me like this, which makes the old monk even more ashamed."

Shangguan Ziming quickly stood up to stop and said, "Master must not do this. The father clearly stated in his letter that Buddhism is a good Buddhist Dharma, but forcing people to read it is contrary to the Buddhist principles. Now Mr. Huo and I came to the mountain to discuss with the master how to promote Buddhism and let the people of Liangzhou willingly worship Buddha, respect Buddha and recite Buddha."

Huo Qiji nodded slightly from the side and said, "Master Shi Huai, I Buddha often said that turning back is the shore. Since you have turned back, why should you be so persistent?"

Shi Huai turned around slightly, bowed to Huo Qiji and said, "Amitabha, what the layman said is very true!"

Huo Qiji stood up, his body slightly tilted, and he received half a treat. Then he reached out and said, "Master Shi Huai doesn't need to be so polite, please sit down quickly."

After Shi Huai sat down again, he continued to say, "It was Shi Hong who contacted me, saying that Zen Buddhism still respected me as the superior sect. In addition, what the layman and the prince knew about him, he had received the support of the Tubo king and began to think about intervening in the world. I followed his words and sent Shifa and Kongjian to the royal palace. As for why he did not send Shi away, I had some thoughts."

Shi Huai didn't say much, but everyone here, except Xing Yunqi, who didn't understand very well, understood it.

Shi Yuan is Shi Hong's junior brother. If he went to the royal palace, he would be really killing King Xiliang.

And Shi Huai may not really have the heart of the people in the world. The Liangzhou rebellion will bring disaster to all the people. But if Liangzhou is really in chaos and the Tubo king brought people to attack him, he would not get any benefit from Shi Kongmen.

The only thing that benefits is Zen.

But the reason why he chose to sect the Dharma and Kong to see the past was to show an attitude, an attitude to give Zen Buddhism, and an attitude to give Xiliang King. He was telling Zen Buddhism that Zen Buddhism had the support of the Tubo King, and there was also a King of Xiliang behind him, and Shi Huai also wanted the King of Xiliang to know that the masters of Shikong Sect could take his life and protect his life.

The construction of temples in Xiliang City was also within his plan. He didn't mind the sect moving away from Shikong Mountain. How many people came here to burn incense and worship Buddha?

In the world, only the White Horse Temple in Luoyue City is not enough, far from enough.

But he didn't expect that Huo Qiji would have an accident.

When Huo Qiji first climbed the mountain, Shi Huai felt that this matter might have an accident, so he sent a message to the Dharma and the Pure Land to act according to the opportunity, and what Shi Yuan said at that time had already aroused his suspicion.

He could not believe in Shi Yuan at all, because Shi Yuan was Shi Hong's junior brother.

As for the statement of the people in the Deer Cutting Tower, he just said it to the disciples in the sect.

After all, he is the head of Shikong Sect.

Whether it is attacking the King of Xiliang or attacking the prince of Shikun City, it is a bad thing for Shikong Sect.

So after the return of interpretation of Dharma and emptiness, he chose to wait.

Fortunately, his master, Master Huiyuan, helped him.

And Master Huiyuan has actually already understood everything.

When it is time to fight, you have to fight. Everything in the world may be calm for a while, but just blindly retreating may not be able to broaden the sky.

No one can endure it for a lifetime.

After releasing her words, the room was a little quiet. Xing Yunqi looked at the master, then at the others, pulled Huo Qiji's clothes and said, "Master, it's a bit boring here. Can I go out to play for a while?"

Huo Qiji smiled and said, "Go, after all, you have lived here for more than half a year. You went down the mountain, but I don't know when I will be able to return. It's better to have a look!"

"Um!"

Xing Yunqi nodded heavily, and then said to Shangguan Ziming: "Master Prince, can you lend me two guard brothers?"

Shangguan Ziming was stunned. The little bald man knew to protect himself. He turned to look at Gongsun Riyue and said, "Take it!"

Gongsun Riyue was stunned, then took out a waist sign and handed it to Xing Yunqi and said, "Give it, take this token, you can arrange the people outside at will."

Xing Yunqi asked with a smile: "Then, can they do anything?"

Gongsun Riyue smiled and said, "You can do anything, but you have to think about it. Your master can sit there!"

Xing Yunqi glanced at Huo Qiji and said softly: "Master, I don't do bad things."

Huo Qiji didn't know what he was thinking in his disciple's little head, but he believed in his judgment, so he smiled and said, "I believe in you, go ahead and don't cause trouble for the masters!"

Xing Yunqi grinned, turned around and was about to go out, and stopped again, saluted to Master Shi Huai and said, "Master Abbot, can I go to the back mountain?"

When Shi Huai first heard Xing Yunqi ask for two guards, he felt a little displeased. When he heard Xing Yunqi ask, he smiled and said, "Go, there are many beasts in the mountains. You must be more careful. All things have spirits. If it is not a last resort, remember not to hurt their lives."

"Yeah. I will!"

After saying that, Xing Yunqi ran out and went with him, the two guards who had protected him outside the hall before.

After Xing Yunqi walked out, Huo Qiji smiled and said, "I dare to ask Master Shi Huai, the Buddhist scriptures say, "The Buddha sees a bowl of water, forty-eight thousand insects." This water will not be drunk? Or will this mantra not be recited?"

Shi Huai clasped his hands together and sang the Buddha's name, and said seriously: "Water needs to be drunk, and this mantra must be recited."

Huo Qiji took a sip of tea and said, "In this way, isn't the master deceived himself?"

Shi Huai shook his head slightly and said, "Seeing water is the Buddha's heart, and chanting mantras is also the Buddha's heart, not to deceive yourself."

Huo Qiji put down the tea bowl in his hand and said, "What the master said is very much. I will advise the king to continue building this temple in Xiliang City."

Shi Huai was shocked when he heard this, but he looked at his master calmly.

Master Huiyuan opened his eyes again, nodded slightly at Huo Qiji, and then said to Shi Huai: "Shi Huai, this move by the king is a great joy for my Buddhism. It seems that you are busy again."

What Huiyuan said is Buddhism, not Shikong.

Shi Huai stood up and bowed to Huiyuan and said, "Fortunately, Shi Huai was able to realize it with a sudden enlightenment after the master shouted."

Huo Qiji smiled and said, "I have another unhappy request."

Shi Huai said, "It's okay for the layman to say it."

"When I return to Xiliang City, I would like to ask a master to accompany you. First, to assist the king in building a new temple, and second, to protect the king's safety. After all, I will leave Liangzhou soon, and the king still needs a master to be safer."

Shi Huai was stunned. Huo Qiji's words were really beyond his expectations. After all, Huo Qiji made such a request not long after the incident in the royal palace, but he had great trust in the Shikong Sect.

Shi Huai asked, "Mr. Huo, are you really relieved?"

Huo Qiji smiled and said, "What's wrong with being worried? If you think about the same thing from different angles, you will get different results. The master is just to promote Buddhism, so why not?"
