Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty-Three Why Exterminate the Buddha?

Now everyone's eyes are on Tang Sanzang. The direction of the Buddha and Taoism of Chechi Kingdom will largely depend on Tang Sanzang's decisions and practices. In the three bets, they have proved that they are stronger than the three national masters. As long as the little king nods, Buddhism will replace Taoism and become the national religion of Chechi Kingdom.

Seeing that neither Xiu Li nor the little king wanted to cheat, Tang Sanzang looked at him with a smile on his face, and it was the most comfortable to deal with smart people. He nodded and said, "Since we are born, I don't know if the things we said during the bet can be fulfilled? Is Your Majesty willing to reopen Zhiyuan Temple? If you don't want to take these monks in again, please allow me to take them out of the border of Chechi."

"Master Tang Sanzang, although you have profound Buddhist teachings, Taoism is my country's teachings. Since the Buddhist and Taoism are incompatible, you can only keep one of them." The little king looked at Tang Sanzang and shook his head.

When everyone heard this, their expressions became wonderful. Although the little king was not very old, he was quite smart. However, many things had been passed by the three national masters over the years, so they had not had much experience. But now it is different. The appearance of Tang Sanzang and others broke the dominance of the three national masters, and they completely crushed the three national masters in terms of strength.

Now the little king said something that could only leave one of the two, and it would be interesting to recall the deep meaning. Could it be that the little king was tired of the three national masters and wanted to rely on Tang Sanzang and others to eliminate these three people and control all the rights in his own hands?

When Tang Sanzang heard this, he looked at the little king with some surprise. He knew something about the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty and could naturally hear the implicit sound. This little guy was only ten years old, but he was a little bitch. Do you want to rely on them to kick away the three national masters?

Xiuli, Lu Tianyu, and Yang Feiyu also had a trace of strangeness on their faces. Obviously, they didn't expect the little king to say this. He has grown up since childhood. Whether it is reading or writing, it can be said that they are handled by three people. What does this mean now?

Just as everyone was speculating in their hearts, the little king smiled and said, "So, of course it is impossible to rebuild Zhiyuan Temple. You can take these monks away, but some of them have to stay. What they do will never be clear in their entire lives."

Hong Miaomiao, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly passed. When he heard the little king say that they could leave, his face was full of joy, but when he heard the words behind him, his body couldn't help but tremble, as if he had heard something extremely terrifying.

Everyone originally thought that the little king would talk to Tang Sanzang about conditions. Even if they did not directly overthrow the three national masters, they would at least take this opportunity to weaken the influence of some Taoism in Chechi Kingdom. Unexpectedly, after a change of thought, they would still support Taoism, and they would not leave any room for Buddhism, just to let them withdraw from Chechi Kingdom, and they would never have the intention to develop.

"This little king is quite interesting." Zhu Tianpeng looked at the little king with a smile on his face. If this little king really wanted to use them to weaken the status of the three national teachers, it would make them feel a little sinister. But now it is clear that Buddhism will not gain a foothold in Chechi Country, but it seems firm enough in the heart and indeed has the potential to become a good emperor.

Tang Sanzang was also a little surprised, but when he looked at the little king, he also had a little more recognition. It can be seen that this little king did not become like this because he was brainwashed by the three national teachers, with his personality and thinking.

With the abilities of the three national masters and watching him grow up since childhood, it should not be difficult to cultivate an obedient puppet, but they did not do so, which made him look at him with some admiration.

However, although he promised to let the monk leave with him, he said that some monks would stay and continue to atone for their sins. This was also the most puzzled thing he had since arrived in Chechi Country. Taoism may become a state religion, but it is not easy to make everyone hate Buddhism. But he saw such a scene in Chechi Country.

From old to young, regardless of gender, almost everyone hates monks. That disgust is not even because of some kind of publicity, but more like infiltrating education since childhood.

It can be said that Chechi Kingdom has no soil for Buddhism to grow, and forcibly take root will inevitably lead to premature death. So he was very curious about what the monks did back then. More than ten years have passed, but they are still jealous and cannot be let go.

"Your Majesty, I have something to do. I wonder if Your Majesty and the three national masters can solve their doubts?" Tang Sanzang looked at the three of them and said respectfully.

"Are you trying to ask me why Che Chi Kingdom destroyed the Buddha?" Xiu Li looked at Tang Sanzang, as if he had expected what he wanted to ask.

"That is, there may be some lazy people among these monks, but they will not be punished so severely? Moreover, there are only less than 500 monks in Chechi Kingdom that year. His Majesty also said that some of them need to continue to atone for their sins. What is the solution? Even when the Chechi Kingdom was in a severe drought, these monks would not be able to get to the point where they are now?" Tang Sanzang nodded, looking at Xiu Li and said the doubts in his heart in one breath. These problems had troubled him for a night.

"It seems that Master Tang Sanzang doesn't know much." Xiu Li's expression on his face when he heard these questions from Tang Sanzang. She also felt that Tang Sanzang was not like a confused person. She had a sense of responsibility before. Now it seems that he didn't know what happened after the car and the monks were punished. I'm afraid that they just listened to the one-sided words of those monks.

"Is there any hidden information? I hope the national master will make it clear." When Tang Sanzang heard this, his brow raised slightly. He saw the monks at the gate of the city suffering such inhuman torture. Tang Sanzang was a monk, so he preconceived that these monks were oppressed by Taoism, so he was tortured like this.

But what he saw later made him feel confused, so even after winning, he did not rush to take many monks away, but asked about his doubts.

Now it seems that his doubts are right, and this is probably not just a Taoist exploitation of Buddhist living space.

"Did... these monks really do something that hurts the world?" Sha Wanjing also showed a hint of confusion on her face, looking at Hong Miao who was lying on the ground trembling, and Hong Ji who showed shame on her face.

"But, are they so pitiful, aren't they good people?" Ao Xiaobai asked in confusion.

"Pity people are mostly hateful. Xiaobai, there is no conflict between the two." Sun Wukong touched Ao Xiaobai's head, and his expression was a little cold. She had a good impression of Xiu Li last night, at least much better than those monks. Now it seems that this idea is not wrong...
