154. Return
The white snow falls on the high gray walls.
The incense in the bronze cauldron burned to the end, and green smoke was still floating out.
Next to the Taoist temple, Taoists, monks, and scholars were chatting with each other, showing all kinds of expressions.
Buddhist disciple Wu Zhai ignored Zhang Li and instead, he clicked his rosary beads and whispered to Chen Ji, "Donor, you have a prejudice against Buddhism. Perhaps if you learn more about it, you'll be able to let go of your grudges."
Chen Ji sat cross-legged on the cushion: "I appreciate your kindness, my friend, but my six senses are not yet pure, so I cannot enter the Buddhist door."
The scholars looked intently into the Taoist temple, their eyes fixed on Chen Ji.
This young man has violated a taboo in Buddhism by stating that Buddhism is not equal to Buddhist studies.
Now, he has rejected Buddhism so decisively, truly like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.
At this moment, Chen Ji heard a voice in his heart saying gently: "Donor, we Buddhists have always treated people with sincerity. You only need to convert to Buddhism and become a lay Buddhist. I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Chen Ji was slightly startled. He didn't see Wu Zhai's mouth move, but Wu Zhai's voice definitely reached him.
He looked at Wu Zhai intently, but Wu Zhai smiled at him, turned his right hand outward and downward, and gently twisted his middle finger with his thumb to form the Giving Seal.
Is this... a way to become an official?
It can actually transmit sound directly into other people's hearts.
Chen Ji pondered: "A lay Buddhist is a lay disciple who has converted to Buddhism. If he becomes a lay Buddhist, then this debate will not be a victory for the Daoist court over Buddhism, but a victory for Buddhism itself, thus preserving its reputation."
However, after thinking for a long time, Chen Ji turned to look at the little Taoist priest beside the huge bell and said, "Ring the bell."

Wu Zhai's smile gradually faded: "Donor, do you really not want to join my Buddhist sect?"
Chen Ji sat on the futon and brushed off the snow on his shoulders. "Buddhist, we have come here in the snow, bringing a seriously ill girl to seek help. When we entered, the young monk said that we had no token or invitation, so we were not allowed to enter."
He glanced at Bai Li and continued, "That girl caught a cold and had a fever for a whole day and night, unable to even lift her eyelids. If it weren't for Senior Brother Zhang Li's help, I'm afraid her life would have been in danger. Although she is standing there well now, I feel a pang of fear when I think of the other outcome. If the Buddha can't even save my friend, then I can't enter."
Chen Ji said calmly, "Ring the bell."
The words fell.

A strong wind blew from somewhere and blew into Luhun Mountain Villa, blowing up half of the snow in the temple.
In an instant, the snow disappeared when Chen Ji sat down, revealing the original black Yin fish on the ground around him.
Zhang Li had originally sat down and was watching the fun with a smile on his face, but when he saw this scene he suddenly stood up.
After a moment, he relaxed his mind and looked at Bai Li not far away with a smile: "So, he was venting his anger for you."
Bai Li looked at Chen Ji's silhouette in the dojo.
The next moment, Zhang Li looked at the young Taoist priest beside the huge bell and cursed, "Are all the people in the Laojun Mountain Taoist Temple fools? What are you waiting for? Ring the bell."
"oh oh.."

The young Taoist priest pushed away the young monk beside him, pulled up the striker, and then pushed it hard.
Boom.
The bell rang loudly, and the Buddhist did not fast, so he was judged as a loser.
The young Taoist priests in the Taoist temple of Laojun Mountain were all smiling happily. Although there was still one person from the Buddhist sect who had not yet come on stage, they knew that Wuzhai could not answer this question, and neither could the monk behind him.
Finally I don’t have to be a monk anymore.
…
The young Taoist priest looked at Zhang Li and said, "Brother, is this young man truly a registered disciple of the Huangshan Taoist Temple? Be sure to invite him to debate with the Buddhist sect next time."
Zhang Li patted the back of the young Taoist's head and said, "This time, E'ao lost two Purple Void Yuandan to let him participate in the debate. Your Laojun Mountain Taoist Court must bear the cost of one."

"No, you have to pay for both!"
"ah?"
The young Taoist priest's eyes widened. "We can't make the decision on this matter. The Purple Void Yuandan is extremely precious."
Zhang Li said angrily: "They are all external things. How can you still use them?
Do you want to take the elixir underground?"
The young Taoist thought for a moment and said, "Doesn't that mean I'll lose two Purple Void Yuan Dan every time I debate in the future?"
Zhang Li lowered his voice and said, "Are you stupid? Next time you debate with a monk, just bring up this question directly. There's no need for that young man to personally participate. The Buddhist sect used 'Laozi's Nonsense' to suppress us for three hundred years. Let's use this question to suppress them for three hundred years now."

The little Taoist's eyes lit up: "Yes!"
…
Wu Zhai sat on the futon, smiling again, as if the past was over. "Donor, if it were you, how would you answer this question? Is the ship of universal salvation still the ship of universal salvation?"
Chen Ji shook his head: "I can't answer that either."
Wu Zhai wondered, "Why?"
Chen Ji thought for a moment and said, "I don't care whether it's still a ship of salvation or not, as long as it can reach the other shore."
Wuzhai was silent for a long time.
After a moment, he changed the subject: "Donor, we still have one person on our side. Could we ask another question and you answer it to decide the final winner?"
Chen Ji shook his head: "You can't answer my question. This debate is over. We are just passing through, and it's time to leave now."
Zhang Li exclaimed in admiration, "That's a good rejection. Wu Zhai must have prepared some extremely difficult questions to try to win back the game, but the young man didn't even give him the chance. Wu Zhai's fist hit cotton, it must have been incredibly painful."

At this time, Chen Ji had already stood up from the futon and called the prince, Bai Li, and Zhang Xia to leave.
Zhang Li pulled him aside and said, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Stay and have a drink. We have a lot of good wine in the wine cellar of Luhun Villa."
The prince's eyes lit up, but he heard Chen Ji refuse: "No, there are still many people who are concerned about our safety. We must go back as soon as possible to report that we are safe."
He whispered to the prince, "This is a dangerous place. Those monks are not easy to deal with. Let's leave now."
The prince said "oh" and immediately stopped wanting to linger.
As they walked out of Luhun Villa, they saw gray-robed monks standing up and quietly blocking their way.

Chen Ji frowned: "What are you doing? You didn't let anyone in before, and now you don't let anyone leave?"
Wu Zhai slowly stepped forward, holding a rosary and clasping his hands together. "I see that you are very talented. It has been a long time since I have debated with someone like you. I am so eager to have another debate with you."
Chen Ji asked in return, "If you don't argue, you can't leave?"
Wuzhai smiled but did not answer.
Zhang Li raised his eyebrows and led a group of young Taoist priests forward, surrounding Chen Ji and the others. "This is the foot of the Taoist Temple on Laojun Mountain. Is this where you are being so presumptuous? Get out of here."
Wu Zhai continued to smile without answering, as if he did not take Zhang Li and the others seriously.
Chen Ji reached out to grasp the handle of the whale knife held by the prince.

Zhang Li narrowed his eyes slightly, pinched the Three Mountains Technique with his right hand, and his Taoist robe moved without wind.
The scholars stepped back, fearing that the blood would splatter on them.
Tensions are high.
…
Dada
Dada.
Suddenly, the crisp sound of iron hooves was heard in the Yitiantian Canyon leading to the outside of Luhun Villa.
The sound of iron hooves was firm and murderous, and each step was neither fast nor slow, as if the king himself had arrived.
The monks turned their heads and saw a group of cavalrymen passing through the gray-walled canyon.
Please close the browser reading mode before viewing this chapter, otherwise you will not be able to turn the pages or the chapter content will be lost.
The first person was riding a tall warhorse, wearing bright cast iron armor and a dragon-patterned helmet. A long white feather shot up into the sky from the helmet.
The person behind him rode a horse, holding high a brown-yellow royal flag with the word "Jing" embroidered on it.
Around Wang Qizhou, there were densely packed cavalrymen, three in a row, holding lances with a cold glow.
They walked neatly and side by side in the canyon.
"It's Prince Jing."
"It's the Qiansui Army."
Only then did Chen Ji see clearly that the person in front was Prince Jing.
Prince Jing held the reins in his hand and rode his horse in front of everyone, his armor rustling.
He looked down at the monks and Taoists from a high position, with an awe-inspiring presence without even getting angry.

Zhang Li was surprised. Is this still the usually amiable Prince Jing?
Prince Jing calmly asked, "Why don't you bow when you see the king?"
The voice contained divine power, and it made people bend their knees involuntarily as if it contained the divine law.
The scholars and literati knelt down first, and then the monks came to their senses and knelt down as well.
Finally, the young Taoist priests could no longer bear the pressure and knelt down.

Only Zhang Li stood there proudly, bowing his hands.
Prince Jing looked at him and asked, "Why don't you bow?"
Zhang Li smiled and said, "As long as you haven't done anything wrong, you don't need to bow."
"you……"
Wu Zhai knelt on the ground and suddenly turned around to look at him, glaring at him angrily.
Prince Jing didn't argue with Zhang Li. He got up, pushed through the crowd, and came to Bai Li. He said with concern, "I heard that you might be here, and I also heard that you were seriously ill..."
Chen Ji knew that it must be that when Jinzhu and Tianma were returning to the city, they happened to run into Qiansui’s army and pointed out the direction for Prince Jing.

Bai Li explained in a low voice, "Dad, Chen Ji saved us from the assassins. He just exchanged two Purple Void Yuan Pills with Taoist Master Zhang Li from the Huangshan Taoist Court and cured me."
The scholars and literati knelt on the ground and looked at each other.
They didn't know what happened outside Luhun Villa, they only knew that someone had won a game against the Buddhists outside.
Only then did they realize that these were the prince and princess of Prince Jing's mansion, who had fled here after being assassinated.
Prince Jing looked at the monk and asked in a dull voice, "Why did you block my way just now?"
Wu Zhai stood up, clasped his hands together, and explained, "The young man next to the princess just defeated me in a debate. I'm tempted by the opportunity and want to debate him again."
Among the cavalry, a man dressed in Confucian robes rode forward and said, "Don't embarrass my direct disciple. Come and debate with me."
The scholars suddenly became excited: "Mr. Wang, we were wondering why you were taking so long to come. It turns out you were with Prince Jing."

"So this young man is your direct disciple. No wonder he was able to win."
Wu Zhai looked up in surprise and saw Wang Daosheng sitting on a horse, also wearing armor.
He quickly lowered his head and said, "I dare not."
Mr. Wang said calmly, "If you don't dare, just move aside."
Wu Zhai hesitated for a few breaths, and finally stepped aside to make way.

Prince Jing took the reins and pulled his warhorse in front of Chen Ji. "You saved my son and daughter, which is a great favor. Mount up. I will take you home."
Chen Ji looked at Prince Jing, then looked at the warhorse standing quietly beside him.
Prince Jing leads the horse for himself?
He thought for a moment, turned around, pulled Baili over, and helped her onto the warhorse.
Chen Ji took the reins from Prince Jing again and led the warhorse out of Luhun Villa.
Prince Jing's originally serious expression finally relaxed a little.
Zhang Li looked at his back and suddenly said loudly: "Come visit me in Huangshan when you have time..."
Chen Ji paused, remembering the incident at Xuanyuan Cave Mansion, and immediately waved his hand and replied, "Of course!"

He walked in front holding the reins, and Baili sat on the warhorse and watched quietly.
The two of them walked through the long and dark canyon, one in front and the other behind, and when they arrived outside the door, it was already bright.
Outside Luhun Villa, the black mass of the Thousand-Year-Old Army stood solemnly.
The red tassels on the head flutter in the wind, like endless mountains.
Chen Ji took the warhorse given by Mr. Feng from the trembling little monk and climbed on it.
He held the reins of Baili's warhorse and gently squeezed the horse's belly with his legs.

He was the first to pass through the Qiansui Army's formation and ride his horse back.
"go home!"
