Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1640 Transformation
Fang Zilan watched quietly, her face becoming more serious. I don't know if it was because they didn't come back overnight or for some other reason, but Li Shengxuan and Xiahou Zhang's simple disguises had disappeared a lot. It was not difficult to see their original appearances after careful identification, but the commander seemed not to notice it, and had no intention of investigating further. Instead, he held on to the flower cakes they brought back tightly, which was somewhat deliberate.

Soon the soldiers sent by the commander came back, and the fabricated lies were instantly exposed, so Li Shengxuan and Xiahou Zhang were detained as expected.

"Wait a minute." Ah Shi came over and stopped the commander who wanted to take Li Shengxuan and Xiahou Zhang away. "General, this matter is all because of me. If you want to arrest someone for questioning, you might as well take me back."

The commander frowned, and Ah Shi explained, "I fell in love with their master at first sight, but was too shy to say it out loud, so I bought flower cakes and gave them to express my feelings."

"What's the evidence for your statement?" the commander questioned. Ah replied calmly, "This flower cake is from Zuiyue Tower. It is made of fresh flowers picked this morning. There are plum blossom marks on the cake crust. It is different from other flower cakes. It is a gift from my heart."

Hearing this, Fang Zilan opened the bag and took out one of the flower cakes. Just as Ah Shi said, there was a bright red plum blossom mark on the cake crust, which was exquisite and beautiful.

Seeing this, Awan and Mingxiang breathed a sigh of relief, but then they heard the commander say, "This flower cake is quite strange. We can't just listen to your one-sided story."

After he said that, he waved his hand and a soldier took Ah Shi away. "Since the flower cakes were made by this young master and have nothing to do with you two, let them go."

Fang Zilan stared blankly as Ah Shi was taken away, while Li Shengxuan and Xiahou Zhang were released. By the time she reacted, it was too late. Where was the soldiers?
"Ada, Aer, you two come with me." Fang Zilan's voice was as cold as frost. Awan and Mingxiang were startled. Before they could say anything, they heard her say, "Awan, Mingxiang, you two don't have to come with me."

Li Shengxuan and Xiahou Zhang followed Fang Zilan into her room. Just as they closed the doors and windows, they heard her coldly ask, "Tell me, what on earth are you doing?"

As she spoke, her sharp eyes swept over the two people one by one, but they were silent, which made her sneer, "You don't want to talk, so I'll talk. The commander just now knew your identities and colluded with you to put on a good show, right?"

Fang Zilan's answer was still silence. She seemed to have expected it and she managed to hold her temper and did not continue to ask.

After a long while, Li Shengxuan slowly said, "When did you figure it out?"

"Let's not talk about the fact that the people from Jiangnan Camp came too quickly. We just landed yesterday, and they came to search today. Let's not talk about the fact that the commander's behavior of holding on to Hua Bing is strange. Let's just say that the commander has a strong purpose and has been eyeing you two from the beginning. Later, he made up a far-fetched story and let you two go, and arrested Ah Shi instead." Fang Zilan paused, revealing a sneer on her lips, "Anyone with eyes and brains can see it."

"I..." Xiahou Zhangfu opened his mouth but was interrupted by Fang Zilan, "If you can't comply with any of the two conditions for my entry, then please do as you please."

"We have no intention..." Li Shengxuan tried to explain, but was interrupted by Fang Zilan, "If you are not sincere, everything you say now will sound like an excuse."

"Anyway, I'm really sorry for hiding something from you before." Li Shengxuan looked at Fang Zilan steadily and said solemnly: "There are people in the Jiangnan camp that I can trust, and the commander is one of them. If the news of my disappearance spreads in the Jiangnan camp, the spies will definitely take action. I need someone who can..."

"So, you don't trust me?" Fang Zilan couldn't help but interrupt Li Shengxuan again. He was stunned for a moment and whispered, "It's not that I don't trust you, but... I don't want you to be too involved and put yourself in danger." "Do you think I will believe such a high-sounding reason?" Fang Zilan smiled coldly, "I'll give you one last chance. Order your people to release Ah Shi. Otherwise, our agreement ends here."

Li Shengxuan opened his mouth, and Fang Zilan waved her sleeves, "I'm tired, there's no need to say anything else. You just need to tell me if you can do it. If not, we can go our separate ways, and I will find a way to rescue Ah Shi myself."

"You're here." The old monk walked behind Master Yuan, who turned around, bowed, and called out "Master".

The old monk took the lamp oil from his hand and added some oil to the eternal lamp next to it with the Buddha statue with "Zhuge Jun" engraved on it.

"Master..." Master Liaoyuan hesitated to speak. The old monk said meaningfully, "To let go of worldly ties is not something that can be achieved by a Dharma name. Although you have a connection with the Buddha, if you cannot get over the obstacles in your heart, this ever-burning lamp will be of no help."

After he finished speaking, he hunched over and sat down. Master Liaoyuan sat beside him and listened to him say, "In a few days, I will be traveling around the world to spread Buddhism. I'm afraid we may never meet again. Do you have anything to tell me?"

Master Liaoyuan was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the ever-burning lamp on the amulet with the inscription "Mountains and Rivers Forever Solid" and asked, "Master, have you found a new lamp supplier?"

The old monk nodded. "Although it's different from what my old friend thought, he is still someone I can entrust this wish to. Moreover..."

He coughed and changed the subject, "Now that the destined person for this lantern has been found, I have finally fulfilled my wish."

Master Liaoyuan remained silent. The old monk smiled and said, "You don't have to do this. When I handed over the position of abbot to you, I said that if this action can help you see a peaceful and prosperous world and fulfill your wish, it will also be a merit."

As he spoke, a look of relief appeared in his eyes. "The current scene in Dajing is indeed a sign of prosperity. When my merits are complete, I will travel around the world and spread Buddhism widely, so as to live up to the name of our national religion of Buddhism."

State religion? Master Liaoyuan laughed in his heart. If it weren't for this reason, how could he have come here?
At that time, he had only been a monk for a few years, and even if he was extremely talented, he was not qualified to be the abbot. However, for the Zhuge family, for Li Shengxuan, for Shan'er, and for many others, he became the abbot of Baiye Temple.

Just because of the belief in human heart, it is best to manipulate the will of heaven. He became the abbot of Baiye Temple, and the Zhuge family could better protect the Li family's kingdom.

He became a monk to get rid of worldly ties, but became an abbot for worldly affairs. It's really fate's trick.

Master Liaoyuan stared at the lights in the hall. For a moment, he was blinded. The only sound he could hear was the old monk's voice, mixed with a sigh.

"It's a fate, the sea of ​​suffering is endless, only by saving yourself can you save others. From now on, Baiye Temple will be handed over to you."
