Lu Dongzan glanced at Tang Xuanzang, "Let's talk to Li Zheng about your Buddhist affairs first."

Tang Xuanzang stepped forward and said, "I am a monk Tang Xuanzang who has seen the Chang'an Order."

Li Zheng looked up and down at the monk in front of him, "You are Tang Xuanzang, and you have heard of the great name for a long time."

I saw a young monk standing next to Tang Xuanzang and asked, "This person looks familiar."

"The little monk Bian Ji, I met Chang'an Order at the beginning."

Li Zheng suddenly realized, "It turned out to be a Bianji, no wonder it looks familiar."

Bian Ji said again: "The little monk has now worshipped Master Xuanzang as his teacher."

Li Zheng said: "It doesn't matter who you worship as your teacher, Master Xuanzang, are you also talking about Tubo with Lu Dongzan?"

Tang Xuanzang recited the Buddha's name and said, "Li Zheng, I hope you can turn from evil to justice."

Li Zheng sneered and said, "Master Xuanzang doesn't seem to be in charge of what I want to live."

Tang Xuanzang calmed down and said, "Li Zheng, I know what kind of monk you have ever been. I have seen your disciples doing things in Tubo. You teach people how to make Tubo corpses everywhere, and you create a new school but don't respect the gods."

Is this guy brainwashing himself?

Li Zheng looked at Tang Xuanzang's expression.

Tang Xuanzang said with a pious look: "Li Zheng, if you can turn from evil to justice, you can enter Buddhism. I chant scriptures day and night to help you remove your karma."

After saying that, Tang Xuanzang saw the contemptuous expression on Li Zheng's face and said, "Don't you believe in me?"

Li Zheng said, "Master Xuanzang, don't you think it's ridiculous?"

"What's the meaning?"

Tang Xuanzang stared at Li Zheng.

Li Zheng said: "I think turning from evil and returning to justice is not about escaping into Buddhism. I don't believe in any so-called karma. If I do too many bad things, I will do some good things to make up for it, or do more good things, instead of what you said that if you want to turn from evil and returning to justice, you must enter Buddhism. Don't you think you are hypocritical?"

"hypocritical?"

Tang Xuanzang's expression was already calm, "Buddhist mercy is naturally for the sake of the people."

Li Zheng looked at Tang Xuanzang like a filial piety leader.

"Master Xuanzang, if all the bad people in the world escape into Buddhism and come to help you get rid of your karma, can you afford to support your Buddhism?"

Tang Xuanzang shook his head and sighed, "Li Zheng, you are hopeless."

"What is hopeless? Master Xuanzang, you think of yourself too noble." Li Zheng looked at Tang Xuanzang and continued, "You Buddhists claim to be pure in the six senses. I dare to ask you, are you worshiping Buddhas?"

Seeing that Tang Xuanzang had not answered, Li Zheng said again: "The so-called pilgrims are just a business, and I also do business, but you buy and sell. What I sell are produced by the people of Jingyang. They sell them with goods, and the people of Jingyang have income. From top to bottom, we are all open-minded in Jingyang. But what about you Buddhism? You are just using the hopes and desires in people's hearts to make money. You sell them without goods, but you are so noble in collecting money?"

"Have you produced anything from beginning to end? I, Li Zheng, don't think I am a perfect person, but I sleep soundly, at least I earn money openly, and where are you Buddhism? You don't farm, don't work, and don't produce, but you are so proud."

"What you worship is not Buddha, and what you pilgrims worship is not Buddha, but inner desire!"

Tang Xuanzang made a compilation and said, "As long as you are in your heart..."

"You, Tang Xuanzang, always saying that you save all living beings is just your desire. Can you look directly at your own heart?"

"What people worship is nothing more than their own desires." Tang Xuanzang muttered to himself with a confused expression.

Li Zheng looked at the young monks next to him again, and then looked at Lu Dongzan, "I know that Songzan Gampo made friends with you, Tang Xuanzang, to unite with the Buddhist sect in the Central Plains, and Tang Xuanzang is now in Buddhism, yes."

Lu Dongzan didn't say anything either.

Tang Xuanzang was also silent.

Li Zheng continued: "In fact, whether it is your own Buddhist union or Tubo who wants to unite Buddhism, I don't care, because I never thought of paying attention to you, because you are ridiculous in themselves."

Bian Ji stepped forward and said, "Li Zheng, why did you set fire to Dacien Temple? You just want to besides our Buddhist sect?"

Li Zheng smiled and said, "If you want to talk about your opponent, I think I am more worried about the five surnames and the great cannibals outside the pass. As for your Buddhism? Sorry, I haven't taken you seriously yet."

Li Tai looked at Li Zheng's expression and listened to what Li Zheng said, he felt that Li Zheng looked like a crazy man at this time.

"I'm not interested in burning your temples, and I'm not even interested in dealing with your affairs. But you actually came to the door. I want to make a decision that I wanted to do a few years ago but didn't make."

Seeing a few monks looking at him, Li Zheng said again: "I plan to expand my printing business, so that more people in the world can read and read, and expand the scope of scholars. When more and more people read, more and more people understand the composition of things, the changes in their lives, when they have aspirations for the future, when the imperial examinations are opened, and hard-study students have channels for the rise, then more and more people will not believe in Buddhism."

"Because reading gives them hope that they can learn skills in books, see more knowledge in books, and see more stories of their predecessors and sages."

Li Zheng said to Tang Xuanzang: "I will show you another clear path. When your Buddhism is about to go bankrupt, I can suggest you to go to those foreign barbarians who have no background. They will believe in this Buddhist style because they have no culture, no knowledge, and no future, and they are more likely to be fooled by you."

Li Tai was also digesting Li Zheng's words and also understood what Li Zheng meant. If Li Zheng wanted to open up wisdom, the smarter the person, the less he would believe in Buddhism. This is really a powerful tool to defeat Buddhism. Moreover, Li Zheng has movable type printing technology in his hands. Once people believe in science and have knowledge, from the beginning of enlightenment, who would still believe in Buddhism's style?

Sometimes when I think about what Li Zheng said, it makes sense for man to conquer nature. There are all kinds of disasters, floods, droughts, and gods never pity the world. Whenever people want to live, they are not fighting with the sky.
