Xiaoyouzhutian, send Yi Xiaochuan to the palace to start

The next day, the sun shines brightly.

Tang Monk, dressed in a dazzling cassock and holding a Zen staff, slowly walked into the heavily guarded Chechi Kingdom Palace under the escort of Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng.

As soon as they stepped into the palace, they felt an oppressive atmosphere coming towards them.

The three demons, tiger, deer and sheep, stood beside the king. Their eyes were as sharp as swords, staring at Tang Seng with hostility, for no other reason than that he was a bald donkey.

Sun Wukong and the others smiled when they saw the three demons around the king.

The king looked at the Tang monk in front of him with oily hair and powdered face, narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought to himself: "This Tang Dynasty is really a land of outstanding people and talents. Even a monk is so handsome."

"Amitabha, I am Xuanzang from the Tang Dynasty in the East, and I am here to pay my respects to His Majesty the King..." After walking into the palace and coming to a few meters in front of the king, Tang Seng clasped his hands together, looked kind, and said with a slight bow.

The king, the tiger, the deer, and the sheep exchanged a glance, then said to Tang Monk below, "Elder, please don't be polite."

"Elder, I heard that you want to go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures? I wonder what you are going to do?"

Tang Seng looked calm and said with a smile: "Teach people to be good and reduce killing."

The king nodded slightly upon hearing this, and then asked in doubt: "Your Tang Dynasty is the Celestial Empire, and you conquered the world by killing people. Why do you want to go to the West to seek scriptures now?"

"And can Buddhism bring peace and prosperity to the country?"

Tang Seng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he slowly said: "Buddhism cannot directly bring good weather, but it can guide people to be kind and compassionate..."

When Huli Daxian heard what Tang Seng said, he immediately said angrily: "You monk only knows how to talk nonsense. My Taoism can also lead people to be good. My Taoist treasure book Tao Te Ching is a supreme treasure! Why use Buddhism to influence the world!"

Tang Seng understood that this was a challenge from the king and the imperial teacher, so he continued, "Buddhism has its own advantages, and Taoism has its own advantages. The two cannot be lump together."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Luli Daxian snorted coldly: "I don't know what benefits Buddhism has, but I know that if everyone becomes a monk, the entire human race will be extinct!"

The words of Luli Daxian left Tang Seng, Sun Wukong and others dumbfounded.

Because why does this sentence sound so familiar?

The immortal Yang Li also took over Lu Li's words: "Yes, my Taoism advocates governing by inaction and following nature, but you want people to be pure and free of distracting thoughts. How can the people reproduce and thrive?"

Faced with the questioning of the immortals Luli and Yangli, Tang Seng frowned slightly, but still remained firm and calm in his heart.

Because he had already thought of the answer. Liu Hao had done this to him at the beginning, leaving him speechless. Couldn't he figure it out during this period of time?

He put his hands together and said slowly: "The two national masters have misunderstood. Buddhism does not require everyone to become a monk, but advocates that people plant good thoughts in their hearts."

“Even if you don’t become a monk, you can still study Buddhism and become a good person…”

As soon as Tang Seng said this, the king and the three imperial masters on the opposite side were suddenly speechless.

For a moment, the palace fell into silence, as if even the air had frozen, and the eyes of some officials of Chechi Kingdom were focused on Tang Seng.

Their eyes were full of confusion, as if asking, how could this monk be so eloquent?

On the other hand, Tang Seng had a smug look on his face. He was joking. He had been studying this specially during this period of time. What Liu Hao said before had left him speechless.

Now that it had finally come in handy in this debate, he was naturally very happy.

He was confident that even if he met Liu Hao again, he would not be unable to answer any questions.

Just when he was feeling extremely proud, his eyes accidentally caught sight of a figure. When he saw that figure, Tang Seng felt sick all over.

His face turned pale in an instant, his eyes filled with astonishment. That figure was the person he least wanted to see, Liu Hao.

"We come to see the Emperor!" Liu Hao walked into the palace with a swagger, and no one stopped him.

When the King and the three state masters Tiger, Deer and Sheep saw Liu Hao, they all bowed and spoke respectfully. Their faces were full of awe and their eyes were shining with admiration.

It was obvious that the old king had known about Liu Hao's existence for a long time, and he was extremely respectful to Liu Hao.

Liu Hao's appearance surprised Sun Wukong and others. When Liu Hao said that they would meet soon, they thought it was just talk.

After all, how could such a powerful person have nothing to do and always think about them? But they didn't expect that Liu Hao actually appeared in front of them.

Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing then realized that the swords in the hands of the tiger, deer and sheep must have been made by Liu Hao.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Sun Wukong and the others bowed slightly to Liu Hao.

Liu Hao smiled and nodded: "Well, we meet again."

Then, he gave Tang Seng a strange smile: "Master, hello."

When Tang Seng saw Liu Hao's smile, he shuddered subconsciously, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

Liu Hao looked at the somewhat nervous Tang Seng and said slowly: "Master, I missed you so much after we last met."

After hearing this, Tang Seng's mouth twitched slightly. He clasped his hands together, bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you are joking. I didn't expect to meet your Majesty here. It is really an honor for me..."

"I am just passing by here. I will leave after exchanging the pass..."

Now when Tang Seng sees Liu Hao, he is like a mouse seeing a cat, he is so scared that he avoids him.

As for Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, after seeing the conversation between the two men, a sly smile appeared on their faces. It was obvious that they knew that since Liu Hao had appeared, he was going to cause trouble again.

Facing the calm and composed Tang Monk, they were very happy to see this scene, as if it was a spice in their boring lives.

Liu Hao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "Since it is your honor, then don't rush to leave. Why don't we have a drink and have a good chat?"

After hearing this, Tang Seng was speechless. He thought to himself, this guy is very evil. He wants me to break my vows again...

Tang Seng cleared his throat and said, "Amitabha, I am a humble monk with limited knowledge and experience. How can I be worthy of such a position?" It was obvious that Tang Seng didn't want to have anything to do with you.

Liu Hao smiled calmly, "Master, why should you be so modest? Your Buddhist debate just now was so brilliant that it left the king and the imperial masters speechless."

After hearing this, Tang Seng smiled awkwardly. He thought that Liu Hao couldn't praise him, because if he did, he might set a trap for him.

Sure enough, Liu Hao’s next sentence immediately caused Tang Seng’s brain to crash again.

"Master, since you advocate Buddhism so highly, have you ever heard the saying, 'Buddha is the Tao'?"
