This Majesty is not like the previous emperors. He does not care about what people say, let alone human lives. He has climbed to the top through blood since he was a court official. The wars between Wei and other countries in recent years have been even more bloody. He obtained the throne by stepping on countless corpses. If he really gave an order not to believe in Buddhism.
Not to mention them, from now on there will be no place for Buddhist monks in the world.
Liao Wu knelt on the ground and said anxiously, "Uncle Master!"
The other monks also prostrated themselves: "Master!!"
He could hear cries of begging everywhere. The survival of Buddhism depended on his thoughts. Xin Deng couldn't help but close his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, please let them go."
Xiao Yan knew that Xin Deng had agreed, and he glanced outside, and Canglang and the others put away their swords.
"You wait outside."
After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he followed Xin Deng into the quiet room. There was a faint scent of sandalwood inside, and the two sat facing each other.
Since Xin Deng had already agreed, he had no regrets, but he still couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty is going to war today, but I may not be able to fulfill your wishes."
Xiao Yan placed the Buddhist beads in his hand on the table: "If he can do it, you can do it too."
Xin Deng looked at the Buddhist beads in a rare silence. When the people from the palace came to his door, he realized that he was infected with karma, and hurriedly went into seclusion to avoid this disaster. But who would have thought that after hiding for ten years, he would still be found.
The emperor's fate was a mess, with merits and sins entangled, and even involved with him. Xin Deng had never been able to figure out the reason, but now seeing this string of Buddhist beads that he had nurtured for many years and was very familiar with, and hearing Xiao Yan say with certainty, "He can", there was nothing that Xin Deng didn't understand.
Xindeng pulled open his sleeves, revealing a string of identical Buddhist beads on his wrist, except that the one on the table was stained with blood.
"Amitabha."
Even though Xin Deng had practiced Buddhism for many years and claimed to have cut off all seven emotions and had no resentment, anger, or hatred, he still almost broke his vow at this moment. If he could see the owner of the blood-stained Buddhist beads, he would definitely drag him to the Buddha and smash his bowl to let him know what the angry eyes of a Vajra are!
When Xiao Yan saw the old monk opposite him holding his breath and chanting "Amitabha", his expression softened a little.
"I owe someone my life and death, and I have a lingering desire. Master, you've been hiding from me for so many years, so you must have known what I want. Please help me."
Xin Deng knew he couldn't escape, so he said with a somewhat grim expression, "The cycle of life and death is predetermined. Your Majesty had already entered the cycle of karma. Having experienced it, you should understand that even if I sent you there, it wouldn't have changed anything. Otherwise, this obsession with life and death wouldn't have arisen."
Xiao Yan naturally understood the meaning of the heart lamp. That "he" could appear back then, but he could not stop Tang Ning's life or death. If "he" could really do something, how could he miss it again and again? He knew his own business. If someone could remind him, even if it was just a slight change, he would definitely be able to discover Tang Ning's identity and protect her.
But……
"He occupied my body in my last moments. His real presence here means that fate is not unchangeable!"
"But that comes at a price."
Xin Deng said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, do you remember the changes in you after he appeared? That was only because you were the one who suffered, and you didn't reverse life and death. But if you took the initiative to step into the cause and effect and tried to change the fate of others, the price you would have to pay would be far more than that."
"Your Majesty, life and death are determined by fate. Why force it?"
Xiao Yan said coldly, "I will force it."
"Even if it means the end of your life?" Xin Deng's voice became heavier. "Do you understand? Nothing in this world comes for free. If you want something, you have to exchange it for it. If you want to forcibly change the fate of others, you will have to exchange your own fate for theirs!"
Xiao Yan didn't get angry when he heard this, but instead relaxed. "Just lifespan? I thought you needed something rare. I agreed." This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
