Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 632 I have settled the Buddhist tax in this world, even the Tathagata can't stop it!
"Is it because of Master Xuanzang's consciousness-only energy?"

Facing Zen Master Zhiyuan's warm and penetrating eyes, Li Yan felt a strange feeling, and his heart suddenly moved.

Undoubtedly, he has a predestined relationship with Buddhism, and the Buddhism in the Tang world has changed because of this. If he hadn't ascended early, countless monks would have said, thank you, because of you...

Li Yan doesn't ask for rewards for doing good deeds, but he doesn't expect to be thanked, but Weishijin is indeed a turning point in his martial arts. The gap is also due to the research on the strength of two different styles, which laid a solid foundation for the later creation of Qianqiu Jue.

Not to mention the opening of the five senses eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body in advance, and his physical fitness is still being continuously enhanced. This is the power of the top inheritance.

The only pity is that there is always a thin line between the sixth consciousness corresponding to apperception, which cannot be broken through.

He will soon be twenty-one years old, and he has not yet opened the sixth consciousness. Is it plausible?
Li Yan has also done in-depth research, and feels that this sixth consciousness is either struggling in the adversity of life and death, constantly digging out the potential of life, and becoming a benevolent person if he fails, or it needs the profoundness of Buddhism to obtain the opportunity of enlightenment in Buddhism.

The former is the path of Yang Zaiwei and the first generation of "Zuo Ming", while the latter is the path of Uncle Dumb and Xuanzang's successor, Master Kuiji. He is not connected to the two, and he is simply going up the path of martial arts, lacking the so-called opportunity.

Now there is a faint feeling, which seems to tell him that the opportunity has really come, but Li Yan is not so excited, instead he salutes very calmly: "Grandmaster is overrated!"

Sensing his calm state of mind, Chan Master Zhiyuan's eyes lit up, and he clasped his hands together: "Tanyue, please enter the Buddha Hall!"

Seeing the change in the attitude of the new host, Gao Qiu didn't know the mystery of it. He only thought that the thief was toasting instead of eating and drinking, and said proudly: "Mr. Lin, what is the method of my Imperial City Secretary?"

Li Yan took care of him in a low voice: "Let's raise the issue, since there has been a dispute over Xinziqian, we still have to resolve it properly so that there will be no troubles later..."

The Imperial City Division has always been in charge of killing but not burying, and is only responsible for provoking conflicts, regardless of how to resolve them, but now hearing that there may be troubles in the future, Gao Qiu was shocked and hurriedly called his subordinates.

After finishing the low-pitched instructions, Gao Lian hurried to catch up, and said in a low voice: "I asked those monks to settle their debts, and I believe those troubled people will be satisfied and leave. !"

"Be high and work hard!"

Li Yan laughed. He knew very well that the problem of usury was an inevitable problem caused by the rapid development of commerce in the Song Dynasty. The youth loan in those days also caused complaints from all over the world.

After a small episode, a group of people followed Zen Master Zhiyuan to the central Heavenly King Hall.

Stepping into the hall, one can see three majestic sitting Buddha statues in the middle at a glance, namely Vairocana Buddha, Medicine Buddha and Infinite Buddha, which are commonly known as Dainichi Tathagata, Medicine Buddha and Amitabha Buddha.

The smoke is lingering, rising from the tripod stove in front of the Buddha statue, hiding dozens of Arhat statues along the wall, and their hazy postures are more majestic and majestic, which cannot be looked directly at.

Looking at the thick pillars, they are also exquisitely carved, painted with Buddhist patterns, matched with painted bucket arches, and the corners of the eaves are high. The combination of inside and outside creates a profound and solemn atmosphere, full of religious appeal.

Gao Qiu couldn't help but be suppressed by this momentum at this time, feeling worried for a while, thinking whether he would offend the Buddha and suffer retribution...

"Is this a formation?"

"No, not to that extent, but it's definitely not an ordinary method."

Li Yan's attitude became solemn. This is not only the magnificence of the architecture, the majesty of the Buddha statue and the shaping of the atmosphere, but also his spiritual wisdom can feel the fluctuations of heaven and earth energy.

Unlike the blood talisman array laid down by Wuwozi, which relies on the layout and planning of the array pattern to guide the energy of heaven and earth, in Li Yan's feelings, the special influence of this place comes from the three big Buddha statues and the surrounding Arhat statues. born above.

Living here for a long time, even if you don't believe in Buddhism, you will subtly develop a heart for Buddha.

Of course, this impact, for Li Yan, who has reached 25 points of wisdom and has the Holy Body of Zhenwu, is undoubtedly a breeze.

Not only did he not have the slightest heart for the Buddha, but he thought jokingly: "In more than ten years, Buddhism will be overwhelmed by Lin Lingsu, and Daxiangguo Temple can still retain the last trace of decency. The Bao Temple was rubbed on the ground by Lin Lingsu, and at that time, what role will these clay sculptures and wood sculptures play?"

Seeing Li Yan's eyes focused on the Buddha statue, Zen Master Zhiyuan felt relieved, and thought silently: "This person has a Buddha bone inside and a deep root of wisdom. If he can be introduced into the temple, it may help my Buddhist school and resist the worldly world foreseen by my brother. Big catastrophe!"

Then an annoying voice sounded next to them, interrupting their thoughts: "Zhan Master Zhiyuan, it's not easy to see you, let's talk about business now!"

Even with the influence of the Buddha statue, his loyalty to Zhao Ji overwhelmed his reverence for the Buddha. Gao Qiu kept in mind the purpose of coming here: "Now that the Ming Zun sect is in chaos, and the Daxiangguo Temple is a royal temple, shouldn't we be loyal to the country? Kill the cult thieves?"

Zen master Zhiyuan said: "Amitabha Buddha, you have raised a little bit of heart for the country and the people. I admire it. However, people outside of us are pure and inactive, but it is difficult to know the whereabouts of Mingzun's followers."

Gao Qiu sneered: "Qing Jing Wu Wei, what kind of letter money do you give? The assassination of the Empress Dowager earlier, what a big event, if it were another temple, it would have been closed a long time ago, that is, the Daxiangguo Temple, which is deeply honored and favored, and will not be held accountable! The imperial court treats each other like this, doesn't Zen Master Zhiyuan think of repaying it?"

Zen Master Zhiyuan disliked this person very much in his heart, but he did not get angry, and folded his hands together: "Amitabha!"

Let you come ten ways, I will only say Amitabha, and if you have the ability, go and ask the official edict.

Seeing that the other party was doing badly, Gao Qiu was also very helpless. He obviously had no other skills other than intimidating him, so he couldn't help looking at Li Yan.

Li Yan said: "We also understand the difficulty of the master. After all, the family of the Daxiangguo Temple has a great cause, and it is to open a temple for the country, praying for the prosperity of the country, so it is not appropriate to confront the Mingzun Sect in the capital. However, the group of thieves who set fire yesterday, obviously It is unscrupulous, even if it is to prevent it before it happens, the culprits should be brought to justice to prevent the previous catastrophe from happening again!"

Thinking of the assassination of the Queen Mother in the temple, Zen master Zhiyuan sighed secretly, no longer Amitabha, but explained in a serious manner: "It's not that the old monk refused, it was actually during the Renzong dynasty, and the Mingzun sect invaded our temple. , using Buddhist supernatural powers to fight against the evil disciples, Mingzun died, and the evil sect was defeated. After that, for many years, he never dared to invade the capital again..."

Gao Qiu was dubious when he heard this: "Is there such a thing?"

However, Li Yan knew that this should not be the other party's bragging. In this world, Taoism has spells and spells, but it is unreasonable for Buddhism to use ordinary means: "According to what the master said, the Mingzun religion has suffered a lot, and if they dare to attack the capital, they will naturally be prepared Come here, and hope Master will help you!"

Hearing this, Gao Qiu also stared at him: "Yes, yes, since you already have old grievances, shouldn't you make a move?"

It is indeed a simple but effective way to sing a bad face and a bad face.

Zen Master Zhiyuan is not afraid of the Imperial City Secretary, but he also does not want to be entangled by someone like Gao Qiu. Learn my Buddhist supernatural powers to get rid of the cult?"

Gao Qiu was stunned. He really didn't expect this development. Could it be that he had to add another course of Buddhism to his already full course?
He is already so busy that he can't even take care of the little lady in Little Sweet Water Lane, and he has to go to class again, so he can only sleep less?

Not to mention that Gao Qiu was trembling, Li Yan raised his brows: "We are not from Buddhism, can we also learn Buddhist supernatural powers?"

Zen master Zhiyuan clasped his hands together, turned around and bowed to the three big Buddhas: "Worshiping the Buddhas, you will see supernatural powers yourself!"

"Let me worship Buddha... you are so beautiful!"

Li Yan looked at him, and suddenly thought of a story in Ouyang Xiu's notes, saying that Zhao Kuangyin once visited the Daxiangguo Temple, burned incense in front of the Buddha statue, and asked whether he would worship or not. A few years after the story, Shi Zanning, an eminent monk at the time, replied, "When you see the Buddha in the past, you don't worship the Buddha in the past", and deftly resolved it.

Whether this story is true or not is impossible to verify. After all, many famous officials in the Northern Song Dynasty did not like Buddhism. Ouyang Xiu named his son a monk. Sima Guang scolded Zhiyuan, a medical monk. That's more.

Of course, this still does not prevent their family members from believing in Buddhism and going to Buddhist temples to offer incense and pray for the blessing of Buddha, so Buddhism is still prosperous.

But now the old monk asked him to worship Buddha?
I have settled the tax of Buddhism in this world, even Tathagata can't stop it!
Of course, Li Yan can't say yet, and it's even more impossible for Zhao Kuangyin to worship me if he doesn't worship me. He can only say indifferently: "I don't know much about Buddhism, but I know that all dharmas are my heart. Kneeling to worship is just a superficial form, and I can't do it like this." To judge a person's sincerity to the Buddha, the master will test me with this, but it is unnecessary!"

Zen Master Zhiyuan is actually not a test, but really wants him to worship the Tathagata, but after hearing such a reply, he can only push the boat along the way: "There are things inside and outside, so the Buddha has the appearance of the Buddha. Tanyue really has the Buddha's nature. That being the case, please come with me!"

He walked towards the Arhats on both sides, Li Yan and Gao Qiu followed, and the footsteps of the three of them resounded in the empty Buddhist hall.

From a distance, the whole hall creates a deep, far-reaching, peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, which makes people relax and has a good impression of Buddhism, as if this is a harbor for the soul.

Looking closely, these Arhat statues are not only magnificent and rich in texture, but also give birth to a substantial sense of oppression, each representing an inexplicable coercion.

"It's really the use of the power of heaven and earth. The supernatural powers of Buddhism are contained in these statues. It's a familiar routine..."

Li Yan observed carefully, the real energy in his body began to operate subconsciously, the original balance between Baisheng energy and consciousness-only energy began to break, and there was a faint feeling of sitting cross-legged.

At the same time, he deeply realized that the opportunity of consciousness-only power has come, as long as he goes deep, the sixth consciousness can be achieved naturally, and even in the future, he can climb to the higher seventh consciousness and eighth consciousness.

But at the next moment, he directly used the True Martial Saint Body to cut off this induction without delay or hesitation.

Buddhism is indeed powerful. This kind of enlightenment is in every aspect, subtle, and if you are not careful, you will follow the way.

Decided!Not only to collect taxes, but also to collect heavy taxes!
Of course, if these monks can properly corrupt the surrounding barbarians, it is not impossible to negotiate some tax relief.

Zen Master Zhiyuan felt very relieved when he saw this focused gaze, but he didn't know that the tax was getting heavier and heavier.

And after visiting the arhats, and found that this one had no choice, Zen master Zhiyuan simply led the two of them to the back of the three Buddhas.

It was found that there are several rows of Buddha statues here, a total of thirty-two statues, all of which are strange and in different postures.

Li Yan originally wanted to take a walk around, Quan Dang took a look around, not prepared to be misled by his studies, Zhenwu Saint Body also resisted until he came to a Buddha statue with three heads and six arms.

Strangely, compared to other statues of Arhats with deep Buddhist imprints, the induction of this Buddha statue has changed from rejection to acceptance.

Li Yan stopped, observed carefully for a moment, and asked:
"What Buddha is this?"
