Chapter 328 Daoji is infected with the devil Southern Continent, Zhou Kingdom, Longjing Mountain in Hangzhou, Ziwei Temple. "Daoyou, you are finally back." Bai Suzhen stood in front of the gate of Ziwei Temple with a smile on her face, looking at Jiang Lin in front of her. The smile on her lips seemed gentle, but in fact it concealed a hint of resentment. "If I hadn't been able to inquire about you and found out that you were temporarily unable to leave, I would have thought that you forgot that your home is in Hangzhou." There is a nail in these words... Jiang Lin smiled awkwardly. He swears to God that he also wanted to stay in Ziwei Temple every day and not go out. But what can be done? There are just too many things to do, one after another. Even when he came back this time, he came with something. "During this period, thank you for helping me look after the house." Jiang Lin raised his hand and saluted Bai Suzhen with a sincere look.

At this point, Bai Suzhen could no longer complain and said, "This is my job, so why should I thank you, Taoist friend?" "Come in and have some rest." As he said this, he turned sideways, but did not raise his hand to guide him. Instead, he boldly grabbed Jiang Lin's sleeve. Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment, but did not struggle to break free. He just followed Bai Suzhen's force and walked into Ziwei Temple. "Miaoqing followed Master's orders and continued her travels. Before she left, I asked her to take Xiaoqing with her." On the way, Bai Suzhen chatted as if she was chatting with her family: "Xiaoqing has been practicing with me. Now it's time for me to go out and see the world. With Miaoqing here, I feel relieved." "Fellow Daoist Tushan went to Mount Huashan. You should know about this." When talking about Tushan language, Bai Suzhen couldn't help but smile. Tu Shanyu was betting that Jiang Lin could stay in Huashan for a longer period of time. Unfortunately, Tu Shanyu lost the bet. Once you accept the priesthood, it won't be easy to resign. If Bai Suzhen really wants to compete with Tushanyu for a priesthood in Mount Huashan, it is hard to say who will win. But Bai Suzhen did not argue, because she was also gambling that Jiang Lin could resolve the Huashan issue as soon as possible. So Bai Suzhen chose to stay home. As it turned out, Bai Suzhen's choice was correct and she won the bet. "Now, besides me, Xiao Qingluan is the only one in the Taoist temple." As Bai Suzhen spoke, the smile on her lips became more and more obvious. She glanced at Jiang Lin with a half-smile and said, "As for where Daoist Fellow Tan Ruo is going, I think you know better than me?" Jiang Lin blinked and nodded helplessly. Tan Ruo's situation is similar to Tushan Yu's, both of them have "serious things" to do. Now, one is Shaohao's agent of Huashan, and the other is the queen of the Celestial Clan, and neither of them can leave easily.

Bai Suzhen was very happy when she thought of this. For the time being, her only competitor is Xiao Qingluan, who even has difficulty changing her form. And now, I am guarding Jiang Lin. As for the so-called marriage between Tan Ruo and Jiang Lin, Bai Suzhen and Tu Shanyu share the same opinion on this point. Tan Ruo just sneaked away temporarily. I just took advantage of being the last person to come into contact with Jiang Lin. no big deal. Tan Ruo obviously had no intention of holding another wedding, because she knew that if she really did that, Xiaohong and Xiaobai would definitely not sit idly by and wait for death. It's not uncommon for a woman in love to do anything. It's just fair competition. Tan Ruo has this confidence, and the others obviously have it too. "As for the princess from the Heavenly Palace, she is now in Taisu Palace to further her training. No, to be more precise, she is trying to regain her former strength." Bai Suzhen said softly, "After the incident in Northern Juluzhou, the princess came to the temple and asked me to tell you that it might take her three or four years to come out." "Ah." Jiang Lin nodded, not at all surprised. Liu Yunxiu had already awakened some of his wisdom, so the next step would naturally be to strike while the iron was hot. The princess in heaven who had to endure nine tribulations that the teacher mentioned was probably Liu Yunxiu. According to the teacher, this is exactly the ninth life. It is also the time to complete the merit. As they were talking, the two had already arrived at the front hall where the Emperor of Fengdu was enshrined. Jiang Lin didn't want to burn incense at first, because he felt that there was no need to be so unfamiliar with the old man, but he still lit a stick of incense meticulously. Because he was more afraid that his petty old man would kick his ass from a distance... After paying homage to the old man, Jiang Lin walked through the front hall and came to the main hall, where he lit three incense sticks in front of the statue of Emperor Ziwei. After the worship, Jiang Lin stood up and asked thoughtfully: "Daoyou, do you think there is still room for expansion in Ziwei Temple?" Bai Suzhen was stunned when she heard this and asked, "Which great god's statue do you want to buy?" Nowadays, the three gods are worshipped in Ziwei Temple. Wang Lingguan who guards the gate, Fengdu Emperor in the front hall, and Ziwei Emperor in the main hall. "If we want to add a new hall, we can also add a rear hall. At most, we can just move the wall of the backyard back a little. It's not a big deal." Hearing this, Jiang Lin nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Taoist friend, to contact Grandpa Gongshu." "I plan to expand a back hall to worship Dou Mu Yuan Jun." "Ok?"

Bai Suzhen was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and asked, "Has Daoyou met Yuanjun?" Jiang Lin nodded and said, "I am honored to meet you and be given a magical item." As he spoke, Jiang Lin flashed the black and gold wristband on his wrist. Now that he has met Dou Mu Yuan Jun, who is like a grandmother to him, it would be too ignorant if Jiang Lin did not show any expression. Although Dou Mu Yuanjun may not care, Jiang Lin has to do it. Bai Suzhen took a look and didn't see anything, but she didn't care. The divine object given by a great god like Dou Mu Yuanjun could not be a simple object. "In that case, there should indeed be a back hall." Bai Suzhen paused and continued, "How about adding my master?" “There are two statues of the gods enshrined in the back hall.” The Emperor of Ziwei has two sides, the Emperor of Fengdu, and the Lord of Doumu also has two sides, who is Bai Suzhen’s master, the Goddess of Mount Li. "Naturally." Jiang Lin agreed without hesitation. Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "Leave it to me to arrange it." After saying this, Bai Suzhen looked at Jiang Lin and said with a smile: "Daoyou, I'm afraid you came back this time for something, not just to practice meditation, right?" Jiang Lin touched his nose and smiled, "Is it so obvious?" "You are not someone who can hide things." Bai Suzhen tilted her head and added, "Especially in front of people close to you." After she finished speaking, she looked straight at Jiang Lin. Seeing that Jiang Lin did not refute, the smile on her lips became even more intense. Jiang Lin said seriously: "There are indeed some things that I need your help to consult." As he said that, Jiang Lin snapped his fingers. Bai Suzhen's expression changed and she looked towards the direction of the Taoist temple's gate. Not long after, Tan Qingzheng walked in and greeted Jiang Lin, saying, "Your Excellency, in accordance with your instructions, I am here with the captain of the 5th Xiezhi Army and ten centurions." "The captain was afraid that the evil spirit would hit the treasure land, so he temporarily stopped in front of the statue of Wang Lingguan." Jiang Lin nodded and pointed at Bai Suzhen and said, "This is Bai Suzhen, the disciple of the Lady of Mount Li." "This is my assistant in the Judicial Hall, Tan Qingzheng." Tan Qingzheng's expression changed, and he bowed to Bai Suzhen and said with a smile: "So you are the disciple of Lady Lishan. Tan Qingzheng is very polite." His attitude seems friendly, but in fact it is a bit bland. Bai Suzhen didn't care either. She knew that this was a celestial being, and his status in the celestial clan was not low. He obviously knew about the affairs of his own celestial king and Jiang Lin. In this way, the attitude becomes clear.

No matter how loyal Tan Qingzheng is to the Heavenly Court, he will never forget his roots. "Greetings, Lord Si Cheng." Jiang Lin then said, "Old Tan, there are no outsiders here, let's talk about the case." As he spoke, he rubbed his eyebrows, looking somewhat distressed. Seeing this, Bai Suzhen also became serious and looked at Tan Qingzheng. She didn't know what the case was, but knowing Jiang Lin, it was rare for something to make Jiang Lin so hesitant, and it was official business. "Yes." Tan Qingzheng nodded, took out a file from his sleeve, handed it to Bai Suzhen, and said, "Master Bai, please read it while I explain." Bai Suzhen took it and recognized it at a glance. This was a file used exclusively by the Hall of Justice. In other words, everything on this file was an indisputable fact. Generally speaking, with such a file, the case is almost closed, and the remaining part is just the tracking of the criminals and their arrest. As long as they are caught, we just need to open the file and sentence them directly. But in this situation, obviously, there are some unexpected things. Bai Suzhen's eyes fell on the file, and she was stunned for a moment. She couldn't help but look at Jiang Lin and asked subconsciously: "Is this really possible?" Jiang Lin shook his head helplessly and said, "The evidence is all there, and it's clearly in the files." He sighed and said, "Although I don't believe it either, this is the fact. At most, he has other hidden motives." At this moment, Tan Qingzheng spoke at the right time. "This case was discovered by the envoy of the Supervision Department of the Judicial Hall in the Zhou Kingdom. This matter is of great importance, so it was reported to the Supervision Department immediately." "After verification and investigation by the Inspectorate, it was confirmed to be correct." At this point, Tan Qingzheng paused for a moment, and said in a tone of disbelief: "Zen Master Daoji of Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou has connections with the devil, and he openly took in the devil's evildoers and hid them in Lingyin Temple." "No, it cannot be said to be hiding, because when Zen Master Daoji did this, he had no intention of hiding it..." "Moreover, not to mention that Zen Master Dao Ji has connections with the devil, just the fact that the devil who was taken in by Lingyin Temple is known to all the monks in Lingyin Temple, and... he has a good relationship with the abbot and the dean of Lingyin Temple..." When Tan Qingzheng talked about this, he himself was a little bit unconvinced. Who is Zen Master Dao Ji? He was once a well-known upright person in the three realms. He was the Dragon-Subduing Arhat, the leader of the Eighteen Arhats of Buddhism. He was only half a step away from becoming a Buddha. After reincarnation, all the relics of the fruition were left in the Great Leiyin Temple, leaving only the reincarnated soul. And the Zen Master Dao Ji who is still active in the world today is also a great monk who is worthy of admiration. For those who practice Buddhism like this, what they practice and worship is no longer the golden Buddha statue on the high platform, but their own heart. He himself is the Buddha.

Such a great Buddhist who can be called an "enlightened person" may do something beneficial to Buddhism for some reasons. But I will never have anything to do with evil. This is almost completely insulting. But there is a problem here. Zen Master Dao Ji did this openly and aboveboard. He did not hide the fact that he had connections with the evil ways, nor did he hide the fact that he was harboring evildoers from the evil ways. "There must be something hidden behind this, right?" Bai Suzhen said tentatively: "Since Zen Master Daoji is so open and aboveboard, I think he has his own ideas and plans. After all, this master has always acted in a fanciful way." Bai Suzhen was still willing to believe in this great man with whom she had once fought side by side, and whose reputation for integrity and compassion was known throughout the three realms. “That’s what we all think.” Jiang Lin pointed at Tan Qingzheng and then at himself. "Even the Palace Master thinks so." Tan Qingzheng added silently: "The Lord Palace Master once said that among the Buddhist sects, there are good people who can catch his eye, and the Dragon Subduing Arhat is the best." There are many truly enlightened people in Buddhism, and there are also many great people who cultivate the Buddha in their hearts and the Buddha within themselves. But what is rare is that the Arhat Subduing the Dragon does not take sides and does not do anything else unnecessary, which is more or less a miracle in Buddhism. This is also the reason why even Yang Jian looks at the former Arhat who subdued the dragon, now the Zen Master Dao Ji, with new eyes. "But the files of the Palace of Justice don't care whether you have hidden secrets or not." Jiang Lin pointed to the file in Bai Suzhen's hand and said, "The Supervisory Office only looks at the evidence, and all the evidence now shows that Zen Master Dao Ji is indeed guilty." "So, what do we do next?" Bai Suzhen took up the conversation but did not finish her words. Instead she asked a question. Because everyone knew that the next thing to do was not to make a final decision, but to find out what Zen Master Dao Ji wanted to do. To put it bluntly, find out the hidden reasons why Zen Master Dao Ji did such a thing, and then exonerate him. A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Zen Master Dao Ji's reputation for integrity is here, which naturally makes people trust him to some extent. It's like if Prince Duan says you are his son, even if you produce a paternity test, it's useless; if Ke Zhen'e says you are a bad person, even if you produce ten stacks of certificates proving you are a good person and have done good deeds, it's useless. Golden sign. But even though Yang Jian had given implicit instructions on this matter, it was obviously not something that could be said directly. "No matter what, let's go meet Zen Master Dao Ji first." Jiang Lin stood up, looked at Tan Qingzheng, and said, "Until the matter is clear, follow the rules." "Tan Qingzheng." "My subordinate is here!"

"Take my decree and order the captain of the Fifth Army of Xiezhi to lead the troops to surround Lingyin Temple. No one is allowed to enter but no one is allowed to leave. Anyone who leaves without permission will be executed first and then reported to me!" "only!" Tan Qingzheng took the order, turned around and walked out. Bai Suzhen also stood up and asked, "Daoyou, do you think..." "Zen Master Daoji himself would not do such a thing, but if he could not resist the pressure from certain people, he might..." Jiang Lin's eyes were deep. The Buddhist sect had as many factions as the Taoist sect. Zen Master Dao Ji was, after all, a Buddhist. If there really was a Buddha in Buddhism who put pressure on him to do something he was unwilling to do but was beneficial to Buddhism, Zen Master Dao Ji might really have no way to refuse. This is also what Jiang Lin is worried about. Because if that were really the case, then no matter what, Zen Master Dao Ji’s guilt was confirmed. That was a scene that Jiang Lin didn't want to see. Even the black law prohibitions do not restrict monks from interacting with monks who are truly practicing and virtuous, but they are only prohibited from talking about Buddhist scriptures. Jiang Lin always has a touch of respect in his heart for Zen Master Dao Ji, a great man with whom he had once fought side by side. He also didn't want things to develop in the worst direction. "Let's go to Lingyin Temple." (End of this chapter)
