"Are you really Master Huiji's junior disciple?"
Looking at Pei Wende who was younger than him in disbelief, Qiongjun, who thought there was only one "freak" like Huiji, was shocked.
"It doesn't look like it? Actually, I think so too."
Continuing to smile and look at Qiong Jun, Pei Wende was not surprised at all by the other person's shock.
After all, Huiji was a disciple of Buddhism who was a disciple of the Eight Sutras. He was an unparalleled prodigy who entered Taoism through sudden enlightenment. Later, he resumed his spiritual practice and built a golden body without leakage that is rare in the world.
Looking back on myself, although I cheated all the way on the road of spiritual practice, I was still more than one step behind the opponent.
"No, that's not what I meant..."
Keenly aware of the meaning of Pei Wende's words, Qiong Jun hurriedly explained in a panic.
"What I mean is that Master Huiji is extremely wise, so I guess his junior brother is not just a mortal."
Hearing this, Pei Wende couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and once again had a new understanding of Huiji's position in Ci'en Temple.
"I'm different from my senior brother. I'm not even a monk..."
As soon as he said this, Qiong Jun noticed that Pei Wende had not shaved his head, and even the clothes he was wearing were just those of an ordinary hunter.
It seems that except for the string of rosary beads hanging on his chest, Pei Wende does not have any signs of a "monk" on his body.
"you……"
Before Qiong Jun could open his mouth to ask anything, Pei Wende interrupted him again.
"To be honest, I'm not optimistic about what my senior brother is doing."
"The fall of a dynasty did not happen overnight, so it is not a problem that can be solved by changing the emperor."
"Just like today's emperor, when he first took office, he also tried hard to govern and intended to prevent the building from falling..."
"But what was the result? His various political measures were too radical, but they caused backlash from the lords and gentry in the vassal towns and temples all over the world, and finally reached a point where he had to ask God for truth."
Although Pei Wende doesn't know what exactly "Tang Wuzong" did in history.
But judging from his more than 20 years of life experience, Emperor Wuzong, who was committed to destroying Buddhism, did not succeed in bringing down the generals in the mansion.
On the contrary, the officials and gentry below took the orders of Emperor Wuzong and more unscrupulously occupied and annexed the people's fields.
This is why the locust plague has just appeared, forcing refugees everywhere and causing constant famine.
From Pei Wende's perspective, this is both a natural disaster and a man-made disaster.
As a huge Tang Empire, famine has emerged in the border areas, but Chang'an in the hinterland is still prosperous, and there is no sign of worry. This is a huge mistake.
Because this not only means that the central government has lost its dispatching ability to local governments, but also cannot even perform the most basic uploading and distributing tasks.
Under such circumstances, even if the emperor had all-powerful means, he would never be able to implement his decrees to the local level.
If there is another mistake in the middle, things will evolve in an unexpected direction.
"You are right, this problem cannot be solved by changing the emperor."
Sighing with a slightly sad expression, Monk Qiongjun shed all his disguise at this moment, revealing his truest and most vulnerable side.
Ever since he experienced the life of the lower class people with Huiji, Monk Qiongjun has been thinking about how to change this situation.
This has nothing to do with identity or status, it is simply the uneasy conscience in Monk Qiongjun's heart. Valley paralysis
"But even if you know this, what can you do?"
"The young monk is just a monk now, and he can't even protect himself."
When Monk Qiongjun said this, he thought of the five-color Taoist who had just held him hostage.
The five-color Taoist was afraid of his status as "uncle of the emperor" and did not dare to kill him, but he could not guarantee who would come to his door next.
What's more, according to Wu Se Taoist, he has lost his status as the "true dragon's legitimate son" and is not qualified to ascend to the Nine-Fiveth Master.
"Giving up on yourself so quickly? This doesn't look like someone who was 'chosen' by my senior brother at all."
Clearly seeing Monk Qiongjun's dejection, Pei Wende made him jump up again with just one sentence.
"Selected? Am I not just the bait that Master Huiji puts on the surface?"
His eyes widened in astonishment, Monk Qiongjun felt that his brain suddenly short-circuited, and he was a little confused for a moment.
The five-color Taoist just said not long ago that the "assistant person" selected by Master Huiji was someone else, and he was just an abandoned son who was exposed.
But listening to the tone of Master Huiji's junior disciple, things seemed to be a little different from what I imagined?
"Do you think a bait can make my senior brother go to such trouble?"
Pei Wende curled his lips disdainfully. Although Pei Wende didn't know what kind of medicine his senior brother was selling in his gourd, he knew very well that Qiong Jun could never be an outcast.
"Qiongjun, what do you think is the most important thing for a qualified superior?"
"Strategy? Wisdom? Means? Or the city?"
As Pei Wende mentioned one by one the "characteristics" that ordinary people should think of a superior person, Monk Qiongjun was at a loss.
In fact, not only Monk Qiongjun was confused, but Monk Yongci, who was listening silently and did not interrupt, also started to murmur.
Because what Pei Wende said seems to be something that the superiors have in common, and some emperors even specialize in teaching these things.
"Please sir, teach me!"
After a brief silence, Qiong Jun, who was no longer the "silly prince" before, bowed and asked with a firm face.
"It is a mind, a vision, a hope, a heart of compassion..."
Breathing a long sigh of relief, Pei Wende seemed to have returned to the moment when he and Hui Ji were debating at Tongqing Temple, back to the time when they were high-spirited and talking about world affairs.
"In this world, no matter what kind of tactics, wisdom, or methods, it can be learned and cultivated."
"Only the heart that empathizes with the people of the world and is willing to fight for them is something that is difficult to get back once it is lost."
"The reason why my senior brother brings you to experience the sufferings of the world is to help you regain your ambition, which is full of hope and vision, and wants to bring stability to the people of the world."
When he said this, Pei Wende did not hide the satisfied smile on his face.
"Obviously he did that and you certainly lived up to his expectations."
"'True dragons' are never born. The status of the 'founding king' of the Tang Dynasty was also taken from others, wasn't it?"
"As long as you have the courage and courage to shoulder the trust and expectations of people all over the world..."
"It's just the 'true dragon's energy', so what's the difficulty in getting it back?"
