The body of an old monk was hollowed out and shrunk so that he was only a foot tall when sitting cross-legged. Phosphorus was burning all over his body. Well, there must be some other material, otherwise the phosphorus would not appear in five colors.

The Tibetans around, whether slaves or nobles, all prostrated themselves on the ground with pious looks on their faces.

The soldiers of Ba had disdain on their faces. Although they didn't understand what was going on, they had seen many things more miraculous than this. The ability of the chief steward was not comparable to that of a few monks.

A so-called senior monk explained to Wang Zheng: “This is rainbow transformation. Within three to seven days after death, the body of a Great Perfection person will naturally shrink, and finally the whole body will glow, and then turn into rainbow and merge into the sun.”

Wang Zheng nodded and asked with a smile: "Are there any living people who have achieved Great Perfection? What is your realm? Have you achieved Perfection?"

By the end of his speech, the smile on Wang Zheng's face had disappeared, and a dangerous light flashed in his narrowed eyes.

The monk was silent, and finally sighed and asked, "What does the steward want?"

From now on, Di Renjie would be in charge of Lhasa, and Wang Wu would stay here to lead the army, mainly responsible for clearing out some stubborn forces and guarding the Great Snow Mountain to prevent the Zamp from returning.

The monk finally bowed his head. Lu Dongzan did not spread the winter clothes everywhere. After all, he still needed the winter clothes to conquer the world when he went west. If the secret was revealed, he did not have Wang Zheng's ability to make another piece of equipment with such an advantage.

Wang Zheng had lived in Luoshui for half a month. When the snow started to fall, he was ready to leave. After all, it would take a long time to get back to Chang'an from Luoshui.

Wang Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "Go and organize the scriptures with the students from Yuzhou. Remember my warning and don't play tricks on me. I am not as kind and patient to crazy believers as I am to ordinary people. If I cannot subdue their hearts, then I will choose to destroy their roots. Also, the two saints must be above all Buddhas."

It can be seen that the Buddha believed that spreading good thoughts is the true nature of Buddhism, which is infinitely stronger than giving alms. Disciples in later generations were unfilial and would deceive others with hypocrisy. In fact, Buddhism has already spread throughout the world, but many people know it, but few have attained enlightenment, and even fewer have realized it. "

Wang Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Abandon those meaningless and useless tricks, sort out the parts of the scriptures that have practical value and encourage people to be good, turn the temple into an academy, and teach the Tibetans together with the students from Yuzhou."

The monk thought for a moment and said stubbornly: "The Tibetans need Buddhism, otherwise they can't survive the hard life on the plateau."

"Lhasa is relatively stable. Thirty thousand Ba people are enough to sweep across the four directions. We should rely on this number of troops in the future. As for the local garrison forces, they can be selected from the Tibetans. As long as they are Tibetan students who graduated from the academy, they can be used regardless of whether they are officials or clerks.

Wang Zheng snorted coldly, "Otherwise, the best outcome for you is to be handcuffed and shackled to clean the Potala Palace every day until you transform into rainbow. Or after you are captured by me, I will hold a ceremony to make you all transform into rainbow. Then the Tibetans who see the whole process of transformation will no longer think about it."

"If that's the case, why does the master still allow the old monk to teach? Wouldn't it be a one-and-done solution if he just banned it?"

The monk remained silent for a long time before he asked, "What else?"

Wang Zheng smiled and said, "Not only the Zen sect, but also the Taoism will be like this in the future. From now on, gods and Buddhas are all under the Tang law. Wherever the Tang law goes, gods and Buddhas will bow down. I say so."

The monk was silent for a moment, then asked, "Is this also true of Zen Buddhism?"

The old monk nodded with a bitter face, bowed to Wang Zheng, and left with Di Renjie.

Di Renjie on the side came over cheerfully, stretched out his hand to the monk and said, "Master, please, there is no time to lose, we can start to organize the scriptures now. After all, the sooner we start, the sooner we can finish, and the Tibetans can also accept the new teachings as soon as possible."

The 30,000 Ba people brought by Wang Zheng were enough to sweep across the entire Lhasa, not to mention the Tantric Buddhism. The prestige of the chief steward could also withstand the doubts of the Tibetans. No matter how crazy their faith was, it was only a small group of people, and the monk had to compromise.

Zhang San smiled and said, "The old monk just asked for benevolence and got it. Why should the master sigh?"

Wang Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "There aren't so many superstitious things in the world. All of the Buddha's words are actually teaching people to be good.

The Buddha once said: If there are good men and women who accept and uphold the four verses in the sutra and tell others about it, the merit they gain will be greater than the number of Ganges sands in the three thousand great thousand worlds, because of the merit of giving!

Wang Zheng shook his head and explained, "It's different. Just as the old monk said, the Tibetans need Buddhism. If they don't have any thoughts in their hearts, they will have a hard time getting through many life-and-death moments. It's not advisable to establish a new religion. We should just use Buddhism as it is, and delete a few things to let Buddhism return to its original nature."

Having compromised once, it would be easier to compromise the second time. The monk saluted with one hand and said, "I will obey the command of the law."

"The Grand Steward is a Buddha walking in the world. Your orders are the law, and the disciples should obey them."

Wang Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "I didn't say that the Tibetans don't need Buddhism, but what Buddhism is should not be decided by you, but should be defined by the Tang law. It is Buddhism if it is allowed by the Tang law, and it is evil if it is not allowed by the Tang law. What do you think?"

Wang Zheng looked at the old monk's body which had turned to ashes and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"You can say that if you want."

Wang Wu and Di Renjie nodded at the same time, and Di Renjie said, "Don't worry, Steward, you've given us a very good start, and we won't mess things up.

In fact, as long as we guard against people with ulterior motives who deliberately stir up conflicts between the two ethnic groups, nothing will go wrong. After all, those Tibetan slaves have no sense of belonging to Tibet, but rather identify more with us. "

Wang Zheng nodded, turned to Wang Wu and said, "Since you have chosen to stay in Tubo, then stay and take care of yourself. When Tubo is completely stable, find time to bring Zhuoma and the child back to Chang'an."

Wang Wu said nonchalantly, "What are you looking at? My parents and grandparents are taken care of by my uncle and brother. They are living a comfortable life now. It doesn't matter whether you visit them or not. I haven't seen them for so many years. I don't know how to get along with them. They might feel uncomfortable seeing me as well."

Wang Zheng smiled bitterly, "It's up to you."
