Chapter 344 Signing the contract, the two people's choice

After hearing this, Li Shimin also hurriedly said: "Yes. What happened?"

After seeing that the two agreed, Chen Fan didn't say much. He just pointed at the void and a talisman appeared out of thin air.

After the talisman was formed, it instantly sank into the center of the two people's eyebrows.

The two of them only felt a sharp pain in their heads, and there was something mysterious left in their minds.

"Has the contract been signed?"

Master Xuanzang sensed the changes in his mind and asked.

"Yes." Chen Fan nodded.

"This contract does not have a big impact on you. As long as you do not violate the terms above, it will not have any impact on you."

"Of course, if you violate it, then the path of life and death will disappear, and you will never be able to reincarnate."

Chen Fan was very resolute about this matter.

Anyone who dares to trigger the above treaty will surely die.

Such a price is simply not something the two of them can afford.

He now understands that only rules can limit these unexpected discoveries.

Zuishenglou.

Master Xuanzang quickly accepted the contract.

He also knew that the shopkeeper had done nothing wrong in this matter.

If they are really talented and really collude with the demons, it will bring huge trouble.

Chen Fan thought that the two would be dissatisfied, but they both accepted the contract completely.

Seeing this scene, he nodded calmly.

There was no disgust on their faces.

As for their true inner thoughts, Chen Fan was too lazy to explore them.

Anyway, since the contract has been signed, he is not afraid of these people violating it.

"Since you have passed the Drunken Life and Dream of Death challenge, you can make a wish." Chen Fan said seriously.

"Have you thought of a wish?"

"As long as it does not affect my interests, I will fulfill your wishes as soon as possible."

After hearing what Chen Fan said, Li Shimin's face lit up with joy.

He was just waiting for this sentence.

He came to Zuishenglou with a purpose.

The reason why I was pushing for more was to get more.

In fact, when he was challenging, Li Shimin was very nervous and afraid of failure.

After all, his father had failed in the beginning.

After hearing these words, if he had not been concerned about the presence of others, he would have jumped up excitedly.

Not to mention anything else, just based on this point, he has surpassed his father Emperor Li Yuan.

He could hardly wait to speak to Chen Fan.

"As long as it does not affect your interests, can you really have any wish?"

Chen Fan looked at Li Shimin and said with a smile.

"sure."

"It depends on whether you can withstand the backlash."

Hearing this, Master Xuanzang on the side spoke.

"Your Majesty, now that we have succeeded in our challenge, don't do anything stupid or have unrealistic ideas."

"We are now able to feel the spiritual energy around us. We can slowly practice, and our lifespan will definitely increase in the future."

"Therefore, don't wish for immortality or something like that, because the backlash from that, as the shopkeeper said, is something you simply cannot bear."

However, Li Shimin was in hesitation at this time.

Things are not as simple as Master Xuanzang said.

The other party can stay here and practice.

But he simply can't do it.

If he wants to practice here, he must give up his current rights and status.

Then practice here.

But he is an emperor.

Chen Fan didn't care what choice Li Shimin would make.

He played with the wine glass, waiting quietly.

Li Shimin was caught in a dilemma.

If you want to increase your life expectancy, you have to give up power.

But he is greedy.

He wanted to have power and increase his lifespan.

He wants everything.

But he also knew that the more he wanted, the greater the price he would pay.

At this time, Master Xuanzang's expression became calm.

He knew exactly what he wanted.

Master Xuanzang said to Chen Fan calmly, "Boss, I want to stay here."

It was a simple sentence, but it represented his determination.

Even Chen Fan was a little surprised by Xuanzang's wish.

There was no dragging of feet.

So straightforward.

Although a little surprised, Chen Fan quickly regained his composure

"OK."

"But you have to understand that it's not as simple as you think."

"I admit that you do have great talent."

"With the intoxication and dreaming of death, you can break through to the middle stage of Qi training."

To be honest, Xuanzang's current talent is probably better than anyone else except him and Fuxi.

But now he has a problem.

Without the right skills, his talent would be wasted.

The path that suits him should be to continue on the path of Buddhism.

However, now is the Dharma-Ending Age, and we cannot access profound Buddhist teachings at all.

Once the other party makes a wish, he will no longer have the opportunity to obtain profound Buddhist teachings.

Therefore, the other party’s choice is likely to delay his future development.

Master Xuanzang also knew what Chen Fan was worried about.

He had a wry smile on his face.

"Boss, you've already said that I have good talent."

"I think it should be much easier for me to take this path than for others."

Chen Fan shook his head and told the other party all his worries.

After listening to Chen Fan's words, Master Xuanzang began to tell his own story.

“I also went through some things when I was young.”

"The purpose of studying Buddhism is to seek inner peace."

"But now I understand that there are three thousand paths, but they all lead to the same destination."

“Whether you are cultivating Buddhism or Taoism, why should you be so rigid about the formalities?”

When he said this, Master Xuanzang was full of spirituality.

When Chen Fan saw this scene, he finally realized that this man was indeed an accomplished monk.

Not the kind of person who doesn't live up to his reputation.

He has his own ideas in mind.

He originally wanted to discuss the pros and cons with Master Xuanzang, but after seeing this scene, he realized that his worries were completely unnecessary.

He didn't expect that he was the one who was depressed.

"Can."

"I respect your choice."

"But I have to remind you that you now face two choices."

"First, you practice Taoism with them."

"But the cultivation path emphasizes sticking to one's own heart. Everyone's heart is different, and you need to pursue it yourself."

"Second, you can continue to practice Buddhism. After all, you have been studying it for decades. For you, practicing Buddhism will quickly improve yourself."

"You will definitely go further in Buddhism in the future."

"But your situation is somewhat special. Now that the Buddha has disappeared, there is no one to guide you."

After Chen Fan finished speaking, he looked at the other party quietly and let the other party make the decision.

How the other party will proceed and what he can achieve in the future depends entirely on his own choices.

At this time, Master Xuanzang, after listening to Chen Fan's words, began to think carefully.

In fact, he had had such hesitation before.

With more than thirty years of experience in Buddhism, he is very proficient in Buddhist teachings.

If he abandons Buddhism now, his speed of practice will definitely be very slow at the beginning.

But if he continues to practice Buddhism, no one can guide him on this path.

It's completely like crossing the river by feeling the stones.

There is a high chance of going the wrong way.

At this time, Xuanzang was standing at a crossroads, not knowing which direction to go.

You must know that if you make the wrong choice, it will affect your future achievements.

"This matter is very important to you."

"Since you choose to stay, you have plenty of time to think."

Chen Fan spoke.

Upon hearing this, Master Xuanzang's face was filled with gratitude.

Now that he has the opportunity to make a good choice, he is naturally very happy.

This matter is of great importance and requires careful consideration.

Moreover, here, he can first learn some common sense about cultivation, and then see which option is more beneficial to him.

Chen Fan turned his gaze towards Li Shimin.

"Have you thought it through?"

At this time, Li Shimin had a trace of melancholy on his face.

He lowered his head, his heart full of hesitation.

After hesitating for a moment, he raised his head and said.

"I want to cultivate immortality with everyone."

"However, I need time to deal with worldly affairs. Can you give me some time?"

Hearing this, Chen Fan nodded.

He didn't expect the other party's wish to be so simple.

There is no need at all. He just needs to nod his head and he can complete the task alone and get the reward.

"Sure." Chen Fan nodded in agreement.

As long as the other party didn't wish for immortality, Chen Fan felt it was very simple.

Li Shimin was quite good for having such insight.

It's rare and precious.

At this moment, he already had a little more appreciation for talent.

When Li Shimin first arrived, he did not have the right attitude at all, and he became more and more offensive.

But in the final analysis, it is because our knowledge is too narrow.

If you sit in a well and look at the sky for too long, you won't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is outside.

Now I have adjusted my attitude and the desires in my heart have almost been eliminated.

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Let's go back first and take care of worldly affairs."

"After that, whenever you want to come here again, instructions will appear in your mind. Then you can follow the instructions and enter here again."

Perhaps it was fate that these two people were able to come here.

Since the other party's challenge was successful, Chen Fan did not refuse the two.

Li Shimin was originally a little worried, but after hearing these words, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he immediately bowed to express his gratitude, with an extremely respectful expression.

Li Shimin rested here for a while and then said goodbye to everyone.

After all, he is very busy and has a lot of government affairs to deal with.

So I can't stay here forever.

Master Xuanzang accompanied him to the door.

But when the two turned around, they found that there was no restaurant in front of them.

A look of fear instantly appeared in the eyes of the two men.

They were terrified that everything they had just experienced was fake.

"We...we, didn't we just walk out from here?"

"What about the restaurant?"

Li Shimin couldn't help but ask, as if he had seen a ghost.

Master Xuanzang was also stunned and looked panic-stricken.

"Yeah! How could such a big restaurant disappear out of thin air?"

The two of them rushed forward frantically, trying to find the location of the restaurant.

After a moment, the two stood there, stunned.
