On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Lin Zhen no longer had any patience left and even planned to punch this old bald donkey to death.

Although he used to keep things in suspense and not express anything directly, it was not like that anymore.

The old monk's lips curled up in a sly smile. "Hahaha... The prince is truly a young hero, handsome, and frequently plagued by romantic affairs, attracting the hearts of countless women. Fortunately, the prince has a noble character and is not one who indulges in women, otherwise, I'm afraid he would have turned into dry bones under the yellow earth long ago. If my prediction is correct, there is a thorny poisonous flower lurking in the prince's mansion. You need to be more careful when engaging in sexual pleasure."

The old monk's words were quite mysterious, making Lin Zhen feel as if he was in a cloud of mist.

Could it be that Huanbi wants to harm herself?

impossible.

Qingwen is also impossible.

Although the original novel rarely mentions Qingwen, after observing her carefully over the past few days, I have discovered that she has no intention of harming me at all.

In this case, only Liu Shuyao is left.

According to what the old bald man said, Liu Shuyao would harm herself during sex...how would she do that?

Are you going to pinch me off?

Or are you trying to put a curse on me?

Could Liu Shuyao have gotten to where she is today with these two skills?

Lin Zhen shook his head slightly, his mind full of thoughts, but he still couldn't grasp the deep meaning of the old monk's words.

Well, this old monk's words are obscure and mysterious, and I can't just believe his one-sided words.

He smiled slightly and asked politely, "May I ask what your Dharma name is, Master?"

The old monk replied calmly: "I call myself the Chess Buddha."

Lin Zhen: "..."

This old monk has a real passion for acting.

He adjusted his thoughts and continued, "Alright, even if what you said is true. But I have never met you before. Why would you go through so much trouble to help me?"

The old monk's eyes were gentle as he slowly said, "I too have something to ask for, and I hope Your Highness can lend a hand."

It turns out we're talking about business, that makes things much easier.

Lin Zhen felt relieved when he heard this. He leaned back in his chair again, crossed his legs and turned a smooth white jade Pixiu in his hand, enjoying it very much.

"Just tell me."

The Chess Buddha also straightened his back, his expression solemn: "Have you ever heard of the Zoroastrianism, my Lord?"

"Know a thing or two."

"The prince should understand that since the Zoroastrianism entered the vast lands of our Great Qian Dynasty, its rapid growth has been astonishing, like wildfire. So far, they have quietly established three holy altars, their foundations growing stronger and stronger, as if they are about to take root in this land.

These heretics not only colluded with foreigners and worked hand in glove, but also used cunning tactics to deceive the people, causing countless people to fall into confusion. To date, they have lost tens of thousands of followers. Even more outrageous is that they have used brutal means to wantonly murder innocent girls. Their behavior is so abhorrent that it is simply intolerable.

Last month, at the foot of Mount Tai, a fierce battle broke out between my Mahayana Buddhist disciples and the Zoroastrians. Swords flashed, blood gushed, and countless casualties were suffered on both sides. The scene was so horrific that it is difficult to describe. However, news of this tragedy did not reach the capital.

Lin Zhen knew everything that the chess and card Buddha said.

Zoroastrianism originated in Persia and its footprints span the entire Eurasian continent, with its altars standing in almost every land.

These outsiders, with their wealth and power, diligently adhered to their duties and won the tolerance of the monarchs of various countries. However, the lights of the palace did not illuminate the shadows behind them.

The Zoroastrians secretly colluded with court officials, abusing their power for personal gain and exploiting the people's wealth, seeking the rapid expansion of their sect's power at any cost. Their ambition was to leverage their followers to challenge the imperial family, and if their demands were not met at the negotiation table, they would threaten a bloody showdown between religion and imperial power.

Lin Zhen had already outlined the outline of this series of events in his mind, but he had never expected that the power of Zoroastrianism would spread like wildfire at a speed beyond his imagination.

But then again.

To Lin Zhen, Buddhism and Zoroastrianism are actually not good things. If the two sides fight, it will be a dog-eat-dog fight, and he is happy to see it happen.

However, within Buddhism, there is rarely any mention of exploiting the common people, which Lin Zhen quite approves of. On the other hand, if Zoroastrianism is truly as despicable as the Chess and Card Buddha claims, then there is really no need for them to continue existing.

Seeing Lin Zhen's calm and unmoved expression, Chess Buddha became even more anxious and said, "I don't know what kind of agreement the Zoroastrian branch leader, Yerusha, reached with the abbot of the Lama Temple to take 108 girls from the capital, and the abbot didn't even bother to do anything! Even more chilling is that this matter has not aroused the vigilance of any officials or caused any intervention."

"Those beautiful young girls, who should be enjoying the joys of youth, are now likely to become victims of a conspiracy between the Zoroastrians and certain local officials, manipulated like gifts. If their scheme succeeds, not only will the people's land be ruthlessly plundered, but even children will be forcibly separated and forced to become Zoroastrians.

Even more outrageous is that they will use this to spread extreme heresy and attempt to shake the foundation of our Daqian. Such actions are undoubtedly a blatant provocation and destruction of our country! As the future regent of Daqian, the prince shoulders the expectations and trust of millions of people. Can you really sit back and watch and allow this disaster to wreak havoc?

The chess and card Buddha spoke eloquently, with saliva flying everywhere in his words.

Lin Zhen is no longer the young man who could get his blood boiling and charge into battle just by hearing a few passionate words from his boss.

Time and hardships have long made him a calm and steady leader.

"I'm not interested in your religious conflicts. But I will send people to investigate the Zoroastrianism. If it's really as you said, I will send troops to deal with Zoroastrianism. But you have to remember..."

At this point, Lin Zhen's gaze suddenly became as sharp as a knife. He stared at the Chess and Card Buddha, as if he wanted to pierce his soul. "Even if I eradicate Zoroastrianism, it does not mean that I support you, Buddhism. You'd better put away your tricks and stop trying to trick innocent people into becoming monks. And don't even think about getting a certificate of ordination from me!"

The Chess and Cards Buddha seemed to have found the answer he sought in his heart. He slowly stood up, clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and whispered, "Amitabha, Your Majesty, your kindness is great. I will remember it in my heart. Now I will take my leave."

"Don't be impatient, wait till you have a drink before leaving."

Lin Zhen knew in his heart that although these monks seemed to be detached from the world, their inner world was actually more complicated.

The closer someone is to a god, the more they tend to question the existence of gods. Ultimately, believing in Buddha is actually believing in oneself.

As the Heart Sutra says: Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.

The chess and card Buddha was surprisingly familiar with the phrase "drinking wine and flowers." The corner of his mouth even curled up into a subtle smile that was self-evident among men: "The prince is treating us?"

"Of course. Foot massage is also Taoism, and the technique is also a method. Tao follows nature, and the laws of nature are cyclical."

"Your Highness is truly a wonderful person, but I really don't understand what footwork is or how to do it."

"I will arrange the foot massage as soon as possible. You can experience the techniques today. I heard that the girls in Yanlai Tower are very professional. It will be worth your trip."

After saying that, Lin Zhen took the chess and card Buddha downstairs.

Saying that they were drinking wine was just a way to get closer, because Lin Zhen always felt that this monk was not simple.

He possessed knowledge beyond his time: he knew how to harness low-temperature flames, how vinegar could corrode walls, and that someone was setting him up.

In the past, Lin Zhen would have treated such people with disdain, laughing at their absurdity. However, since traveling here, Lin Zhen's state of mind has changed. He began to have a certain respect for Feng Shui, and no longer completely scoffed at the idea of ​​ghosts and gods.

Someone said: Humans understand about 5% of the universe.

Lin Zhen, however, believes that we are less than 0.1%.

There are many things happening that science cannot explain, which is very normal.
