Chapter 6, the argument is abruptly cut off.
When you open these gaps to investigate carefully, you will discover the astonishing truth hidden behind them
Does the master still need to worry about such trivial matters
If you truly wish to inquire, allow me to assist you! There is no need to burden the master's attention
It is better for beings like us, who are of divine lineage, to have less contact
I beg your pardon for speaking out of turn, but what promises does the master need to fulfill?
He is a favored disciple of Master Xuanzang, the one who is to inherit Master Xuanzang's legacy
Interesting
Chen Zhi fell into deep thought once again, and finally, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards Jian Di beside him
He walked heavily shackled and stumbled to the execution platform, while the people spat curses at him, and the executioner urged him to place his head on the guillotine.
During the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism flourished, and such nameless monks were numerous, most of whom had no known origins or descendants. Why bother entangling ourselves with their identities
The Buddhist teachings emphasize purity and the concept of emptiness, which stands in stark contrast to the world of our old gods
Historically, these allusions and historical materials appear to fit together seamlessly, but upon closer examination, they always reveal many concealed gaps.
It is said that he became a monk at the age of fifteen, exceptionally gifted, studying under the renowned scholar Dao Yue of the Sarvāstivāda school at the Dazongchi Temple, and residing at the Huichang Temple in Jinchengfang, northwest of Chang'an.
My lord, please forgive me; in truth, my memories of the Buddhist teachings are exceedingly few.
He once assisted Xuanzang in translating scriptures and authored the "Records of the Western Regions of the Great Tang"
Chen Zhi closed his eyes once more, silently reflecting
Bianji was a person from Wuzhou during the Tang Dynasty, and the location corresponds to present-day Jinhua City in Zhejiang Province
His face is very blurred, as if it has been erased by a special spell
Why inquire about matters of the Buddhist sect? This Buddhist sect is not something we should be involved with.
We, the old deities, actually maintain a respectful distance from the Buddhist teachings
However, now I owe a favor to someone, and this favor comes from the Tianfa Temple.
My lord, please forgive me, I do not know the reason
Is that so
These are all recorded in historical materials
Beneath the dark chamber of the Tianfa Temple's crypt, there exists a concealed secret room, which is said to be the place where Xuanzang transcribed scriptures
The servant knows this monk
However, the servant can see that his shoulders are narrow, and he is a slender and delicate person. His face is well-proportioned, and he should be a gentle monk with no strength to even bind a chicken, which aligns perfectly with the legends.
What was the process like from the time they had an affair until they were discovered
There lies an unnamed corpse, which has existed for a long time, likely having been left there since the Tang Dynasty
I want to know exactly what his background is, as well as what he has done in the past
Chen Zhi spoke softly with his eyes closed
Jindi tentatively inquired
Chen Zhi replied in a low voice with his eyes closed
This ... ...
Moreover, since ancient times, the Buddhist community has regarded us as heretics, never approaching us closely, yet they have also never engaged in conflict with us
Is there really a person named Bian Ji, and what kind of person is he? Did he really have an affair with Princess Gaoyang?
Before he lowered his head, he noticed ants crawling on the blade. He gently wiped the ants off the knife, unable to bear the thought of having them accompany him in death
If no DNA matching can be found on that corpse, it would prove that there are no descendants of his in this world; he is merely a monk with six broken bones
Jindi hesitated slightly upon hearing this name, and then spoke
Chen Zhi gently closed his eyes
I promised him that I would uncover the true identity of that corpse
The dark bird gently massaged Chen Zhi's temples, speaking softly.
What I want to ask you is, is this part of history true
I know ... ...
Can you see the face of the debater clearly? What kind of person is he?
It is important to note that although Buddhism originated in India, it has long been introduced to our great land of China, where it has now taken deep root, with countless enlightened monks.
No DNA comparisons can be found, nor is there any record of it, yet the abbot of the Heavenly Law Master is very interested in this ancient corpse
Chen Zhi closed his eyes and remained still for a moment, before gently shaking his head
As for age, it should be between 25 and 30 years old, but I cannot speak for the others.
Master
In the end, he was executed by being cut in half in the market, and his corpse was exposed for seven days and nights. It was the height of summer, with mosquitoes and vermin biting, and the scene was utterly desolate, yet no one came to collect his body. The common people referred to him as the monk Bianji.
When asked this question, Jandi was momentarily taken aback. After searching her mind for a long time, she finally replied softly:
However, in the memories of my ancestors, there indeed was a monk who was executed during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty
As for ... ...
Well ... ...
Is it the monk whose face has been erased
The scene at that time was extremely grand, with thousands of people filling the streets, and the ancestors of the servants mingled among the crowd to witness the execution
Please investigate the current abbot of Tianfa Temple, Master Danxuan's background.
Later, he had an illicit affair with Princess Gaoyang, the beloved daughter of Emperor Taizong of Tang. When the secret exchange of a jade pillow was discovered, Emperor Taizong, in his anger, sentenced him to death by slicing at the waist, an incident that became known at the time as the Jade Pillow Case
I will go myself after a few days to Tianfa Temple to see what exactly is there
Jian Di, you go do something
Currently, human biotechnology is advancing rapidly, and it is already possible to accurately confirm lineage.
Master Bianji...
In the face of Chen Zhi's doubts, Xuan Niao remained silent for a moment before responding softly
What is so difficult about this
Since your ancestor could see the ants on his sword, it proves that he was very close at that time
Seeing the monk with a scar from incense on his head, limping, and wearing a very tattered robe that seemed as if it had been worn for decades, his feet clad in straw sandals that had been worn down to an unrecognizable state
He felt that the face was very stiff and quite off, but he could not specify exactly what was wrong
After Chen Zhi said this, for some reason, the face of Master Dan Xuan suddenly appeared before his eyes, making him feel very uncomfortable
In the memories of my ancestors, I cannot find the visage of the monk Bianji.
