Twenty years have passed, and it is fast and slow. For monks, it is only a few spring and autumn, but for mortals, it is almost one-third of what they are.

Life is endless from generation to generation. Taoist sect is busy laying out scriptures and preaching, while Buddhist ancestors are busy collecting incense certificates to gain golden body.

The world has changed drastically over the past twenty years. Under the leadership of the Zhuo County tide, the emperor of the dynasty personally presided over the reform. For a time, the world was filled with discussion. There were young people rising and ideological reforms, and the older generation still found it difficult to change their thinking and adhere to the rules of the past.

This is an era full of opportunities, the best and the worst.

Zhuo County

In the hill

Zhang Bairen played with the chess piece alone, and Lu Yu frowned and pondered on the opposite side.

"boom!"

Suddenly, countless Buddha lights surged into the sky in the direction of Shaoshi Mountain. A giant Buddha stood tall and stepped on the world. Nebula above his head, countless auspicious auspiciousness spread across the sky and across the earth, which caused countless people to bow down.

"Someone in Buddhism has proved the golden body." Lu Yu raised his head, put down the chess piece in his hand, and a serious look appeared in his eyes: "I don't know which of the fifth ancestors is."

"It's not over!" Zhang Bairen shook his head, and after his words fell, another divine light was ray of light in the sky, and another golden body soared into the sky. The vast Buddha light kept rolling. Songshan Mountain was a radius of hundreds of miles and turned into a Buddha's kingdom.

Golden lotus gushed from the sky and the ground!

"It's interesting!" Zhang Bairen's mouth curled up slightly: "Can the Fifth Ancestor become a Buddha in one day?"

Before he finished speaking, another vast Buddha light surged into the sky, a golden body stood tall and chanted Buddhist scriptures in his mouth, saving evil ghosts around the sky, and influencing endless sentient beings.

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

There were constant wonders in the void, and Buddha's light soared into the sky one after another.

"One, two, three, five, and five, I didn't expect that the Fifth Ancestor would achieve enlightenment in one day. It was indeed a good opportunity!" Zhang Bairen looked at the five golden bodies that soared into the sky, and the scene of the overwhelming sky, and threw the chess piece in his hand and smashed the strange phenomenon in an instant.

Songshan

A chess piece covered the sky and the sun. The Fifth Ancestor had no time to react. He could only hear screams, and his golden body was forcibly smashed back into his body.

"You must not easily show your saints in the mundane world in the future." Zhang Bairen's indifferent words rang in everyone's ears.

Listening to Zhang Bairen's words, the Fifth Patriarch smiled bitterly, and saluted respectfully at the direction of Zhuo County with joy on his face: "Thank you for your fulfillment!"

"You go to the underworld immediately, no mistakes!" Zhang Bairen's words fell, and the void returned to tranquility.

At this time, a little golden sand on the middle of the Fifth Ancestor's eyebrows was particularly gratifying. Daoxin breathed a long sigh: "After all, I have achieved enlightenment!"

"Let's go, go to Zhuo County to pay homage to the Grand Governor, and then go to reincarnation to polish the golden body!" Huineng stroked the wrinkles of his clothes.

"Then... Zen Buddhism?" Hongren hesitated a little.

"This is a disaster set by the Grand Commander. Who dares to disobey?" Daoxin looked at Hong Ren with his eyes: "It is already a blessing in disgrace for us to succeed and escape from the disaster by chance. The plan of traveling east is about to begin. Don't cause many troubles!"

The Fifth Patriarch left quietly and headed straight to Zhuo County. On the second day, Songshan announced that it would be closed, and Buddhism fell silent.

Instead of waiting for others to take action, Zen Buddhism is better off sacrificing itself to protect itself.

All the elite Zen scholars went to the Shaolin Temple to practice hard. Those fake monks who still drink and have fun will naturally suffer from karma when the great disaster comes.

"Governor, the Fifth Patriarch is here to visit." Zuo Qiu Wuji came to Zhang Bairen.

"These five great monks..." Zhang Bairen shook his head: "It's all Buddhist Gao Zhen, but it's not good to not see him!"

Zhang Bairen twisted the chess piece: "Please go up the mountain and tell me."

Zuo Qiu Wuji turned around and left after hearing this. Soon after, he saw the Fifth Patriarch coming together, his face full of joy.

"The monk has met the Grand Governor"

The Fifth Patriarch bowed to Zhang Bairen.

Lu Yu retreated, and Zhang Bairen smiled softly: "Please sit down, wizards."

The five Buddhist Gao Zhens sat down one after another before seeing Zhang Bairen smiled softly: "Why are you here, Masters?"

"Thank you for your accomplishment, the Governor." The Fifth Patriarch bowed respectfully.

Zhang Bairen shook his head: "It's you who wait for your luck to be good, it has nothing to do with me!"

"We have specially prepared some gifts for the governor. The disciples of the Buddhist sect will deliver them tomorrow. I hope the governor will not dislike the simplicity!" Hongren said with a smile.

"You guys give gifts and visits, what are you doing?" Zhang Bairen sneered.

"In the thirty years, Hexi in the thirty years, our Buddhist plan to travel west has flourished for a hundred years. Now the feng shui has changed and the plan to travel east has begun. I don't know where the Buddhist will go in the future. I hope the Grand Commander will give me a message," Huineng said.

"Those who are highly respected live in seclusion in ancient temples and caves, and have a high Taoist chanting the Heart Sutra by themselves. Those who are shallow in Taoism, do not cultivate virtue, and do not quit drinking, sex, and fishy all turn into gray!" Zhang Bairen said with a smile.

As soon as these words were spoken, the Fifth Ancestors all changed color. Although Zhang Bairen's words were light, they were all bloody heads.

There are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasty, and now there are more than 480 Buddhist temples in Li Tang?

I’m afraid there are not thousands of temples in all sizes, otherwise how could five people achieve enlightenment in just twenty years?

"Governor!" Hongren looked unbearable.

On the contrary, Daoxin's eyes flashed, his eyes were full of determination: "According to the Grand Commander, as the saying goes, family sluts should not be made public, and we are not afraid of the Grand Commander's jokes. However, my Buddhist sect was plotted by the Demon Sect. 40% of the temples in the world were people in the Demon Sect. Now the emperor believes in the Buddha and the Demon Sect. My Buddhist sect is also in chaos and it is difficult to turn against the Demon Sect. This matter is a problem for the Governor."

"Haha! I hope so!" Zhang Bairen smiled and put away the chess pieces on the chessboard: "Tomorrow, you will follow Jiameng Pass and go to the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to practice hard. Don't easily cause trouble in the world in the future, otherwise... the disaster will be beyond the reach of regret."

"We are obeying the order of the Grand Governor!" The Fifth Patriarchs bowed together.

After drinking the tea, the Fifth Ancestor left Zhang Bairen sitting upright on the top of the mountain, playing with the black chess pieces in his hand:

"Go and tell Zhang Heng and Yin Gui, and you can do it!"

This great disaster mainly targets those fake monks who deceive people who commit evil deeds under the name of the Buddha sect all day long.

"The governor needs to tell you about Chang'an City." Zuo Qiu Wuji hesitated.

Zhang Bairen waved his hand and signaled Zuo Qiu Wuji to retreat: "For a hundred years from now, there will be no Buddha in the world!"

If you want everyone to be like a dragon, you must cut off the influence of Buddhism. Buddhism promotes those ghosts and gods all day long, wouldn’t it be against Zhang Bairen?

If it weren't for waiting for the Fifth Patriarch, but also moistening things silently and subtly changing the people, I'm afraid the world would have changed a lot long ago.

"The next thing is the thunder sweeping everything!" Zhang Bairen narrowed his eyes and looked at the Jiuzhou barrier: "No one can stop me."

Chang'an City

The woman in the Wu family reviewed the memorials in her hand, and seemed to feel something, so she slowly stopped the brush in her hand.

"Wan'er" Wu Zetian called out.

"His Majesty"

A beautiful woman walked out, dressed in men's clothes, and stood at the top of Wu Zetian.

"Send the order to tell the people of the Wu family to be safe recently, and don't bump into someone from Zhuo County!" Wu Zetian lowered his head and continued to correct the memorial: "Otherwise, life and death will be in peace."

"Who is in Zhuo County?" Shangguan Wan'er was stunned when she heard this.

She is only fifteen years old this year, so naturally she doesn't know so many secrets. Recently, Zhang Bairen has gradually faded out of the world's sight, and the older generation has gradually disappeared, and there are very few people who know Zhang Bairen's name.

Shangguan Wan'er of Zhuo County knew that this was the most peculiar place. She did not obey the laws of the emperor and was not bound by the imperial power. The old ministers in the court were also extremely taboo about Zhuo County, and they did not dare to mention it when talking about the tiger's color.

From the emperor to the court officials, if they ignore Zhuo County, it seems that it does not exist at all.

All of this seemed like fog, filling Shangguan Wan'er's heart.

"Zhuo County..." Shangguan Wan'er murmured in a low voice.

"And..." Wu Zetian frowned: "Guard Wu Sansi, and he should be more at peace in the recent period."

Shangguan Wan'er said silently.

"Get back!" Wu Zetian waved his hand, and a hint of irritability appeared in his eyes.

Shangguan Wan'er stepped down, and Wu Zetian put down the vermilion pen in his hand: "Why can't I understand the last step? I have already done it to the extreme, why?"

Wu Zetian remained silent.

Outside the door

Shangguan Wan'er looked at the Buddha's light rising from the sky, sighed softly, and was about to turn around and leave, but heard a hurried footsteps sounding, and Li Ji's face appeared in front of Shangguan Wan'er.

"Eunuch Shangguan, can Your Majesty be there?" Li Ji called Shangguan Wan'er.

"Does anyone have something to do?" Shangguan Wan'er respectfully bowed to Li Ji. If she faced others, she might dare to be arrogant, but when facing Li Ji, this veteran of the three dynasties did not dare to be at all presumptuous.

"A big incident happened, the Five Ancestors' Certificate was in the golden body. They had left Shaolin and went to the underworld to practice hard." Li Ji said with a serious expression: "So quickly pass it on to Your Majesty."

"Isn't it a good thing for the Fifth Ancestor to attain enlightenment?" Shangguan Wan'er's heart was shaking.

"Call him in." Wu Zetian's voice sounded in Shangguan Wan'er's ears, awakening Shangguan Wan'er's distracting thoughts, and hurriedly said: "Sir, Your Majesty invites you in."

Li Ji didn't say much when he heard this, and walked into the hall quickly and lost his trace in just a few steps.

"Your Majesty and the old man are all weird today." Shangguan Wan'er walked down the steps and said to the female official beside her: "Go to the rivers and lakes to find out what happened. In the rivers and lakes, there may be a rumor."

The female official respectfully accepted the order and left, leaving Shangguan Wan'er standing alone in front of the hall without saying a word, and walked out of the palace for a long time later.

"Wan'er~"

As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, he saw a heroic man galloping towards him on a tall horse and stopped in front of Shangguan Wan'er.

The man rode his horse in front of the palace, which showed his arrogance and domineeringness, which caused countless palace maids and eunuchs to look at each other. The ministers passing by all had their faces turned pale, but they dared not speak.
