Chapter 124: Suppressing Buddha and Tao
While Li Jun was in shock, the entire city of Chang'an was actually in shock at this moment.This golden light in Lingxu Temple can not only be seen by people in Lingxu Temple, but also everyone around.

For some practitioners, they can tell what is going on in Chang'an City without even looking, just by feeling.For example, Fahai just opened his eyes and looked at Lingxu, then stopped paying attention.

For him, he has just become a little god. This is not worthy of the attention of a Buddhist Arhat like him.So, he didn't care at all.

"There seems to be something wrong with someone becoming a god in Chang'an City at this time. Could it be that something happened in Heaven?"

Yu Xuanji also felt this aura, but unlike Fahai, she was filled with doubts.

From what she knew, at the end of the dynasty, Chang'an, the capital of Daliang, should not have a god appear at this time!

But now, it appears.

Coupled with the changes some time ago, Yu Xuanji felt more and more that the original secrets were changing and becoming more and more unpredictable.

As an incarnated star who understands the plight of immortals and Buddhas, Yu Xuanji knows many things that ordinary people don't know.But facing what happened during this period, she found that she couldn't see clearly and became confused.

Perhaps, the changes in the Three Realms are far beyond the understanding of the immortal and Buddhist world.Immortals and Buddhas like them should actually find another way out instead of continuing to toil in the human world.

"Why is it that Sun Laodao of Lingxu Temple was the first to become enlightened?"

Compared with Yu Xuanji and other immortals and Buddhas, other practitioners in Chang'an City, as well as those who were originally famous in Buddhism and Taoism, were extremely incomprehensible.

Why, they are not the ones who have gained enlightenment?
You know, Sun Laodao of Lingxu Temple has a good reputation among the people of Chang'an City, but compared with them, he is far behind.This guy doesn't know how to preach, nor does he know how to refine immortality pills, nor does he know how to calculate secrets.

However, just such a person attained enlightenment quietly at this moment. This slap in the face came too hard and too fast!

"Dear ladies, do you know what the golden light of Lingxu Temple is about?"

Ever since he became emperor, Li Yan felt that the emperor's life was really not a human life.

He wakes up earlier than a chicken and goes to bed later than a dog.Not to mention the 72 concubines of the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard, even the women he had as King Yong no longer have time to be gentle.

He even took a pill and was scolded by Xu Xian.Only then did Li Yan realize that elixir refining also depends on the person. Not everyone can make elixirs that are good for the body and prolong life.

There is no need to think about immortality. Even immortals cannot live forever, so how can the emperor on earth escape?
Of course, if being an emperor is just for pure enjoyment and you don’t have to worry about anything, and you don’t care even if you become the emperor of the last days, that would be good.However, he is not here to enjoy it.

If he doesn't want to be a doomsday emperor now, he must cheer up and face the pile of things.Whether it was the arrangement of powerful people arguing with the aristocratic family, the food and clothing of the people in the world, the war on the border, etc., he had to deal with the cleanup of the Buddhist sect.

He makes various calculations and arrangements with the courtiers every day. Over the past few days, some of the ideas he got from Xu Xian are being quietly arranged, and everything is going smoothly.

At this time, Li Yan, who was still arguing with the ministers at the court, learned about the Lingxu Temple outside, so Li Yan asked his ministers about it in the morning of the next day.No matter what answer they gave him, he just found an excuse to take action this time.

The ministers here, whether they are Buddhists or Taoists, may all doubt their beliefs now.The Buddhist people they pursue have built Buddhist temples everywhere and made wild claims, but as a result, no one has become a Buddha so far.There is only one Zen Master Congxin, but they don't know that this is the benchmark they want to set.

And those guys in the Taoist sect think the same thing now. The Taoist priests they follow who refine the elixir of immortality have not seen anyone who can ascend to immortality and become immortal after practicing the elixir for so many years.

On the contrary, Lingxu Temple, a small temple with no reputation, has now become a god. This is really ironic. It also makes Li Yan extremely disappointed with both Taoism and Buddhism, and certain thoughts become more and more determined in his heart. .

No matter how nice the words of the immortal masters and true Buddhas of Buddhism and Taoism are, in the end, there is no actual effect.Fortunately, like the ministers of the imperial court, I had great trust in the Taoist sect. I didn't expect that what they did was to defraud me of my trust and power.

"I don't know the specific situation. I just heard that the master of Lingxu Temple has achieved great success in practice, so he has such a golden light. For me, Daliang, this is an extremely lucky thing!"

After listening to the emperor's words, all the ministers talked with each other and then someone replied.They felt that the emperor, who had always respected Taoism, might become more and more biased toward Taoism.

The changes in Lingxu Guan also had a lot of impact on these ministers.However, none of them had any contact with Lingxu Temple. Now when they saw the emperor asking about this, they all shook their heads and replied, while trying to figure out what the emperor meant.

The emperor's elder brother had just abandoned the throne because of Buddhist affairs. The emperor who now ascended the throne was originally a Taoist and had a history of taking elixirs. By asking this, he was not planning to suppress Buddhism and promote Taoism, right?

"Oh, I have also heard in Buddhist and Taoist scriptures that there is a saying about practicing hard to promote good deeds and help others to cultivate merit. However, whether it is Honglian Temple, the temples in Chang'an City, or other Buddhist schools in the world, I have never seen it. I have never seen them practice hard, and I have never seen them be compassionate and help others.”

"Except for the Lingxu Temple and the Yuzhen Temple, the Taoist sects in Chang'an City have never seen any other temples practice ascetic practices or help others with compassion. Instead, they spend huge amounts of money refining poisonous elixirs and spread rumors to confuse the people of the world. Buddha. It is not like the Buddha and the Tao is not like the Tao. It really tarnishes the reputation of the immortals and Buddhas all over the sky."

"I heard that the Buddhist Zen master followed his heart and practiced hard throughout his life without building any temples. He was compassionate and saved countless people in the world. Now, in order to let the souls of our soldiers who fought in the frontiers of Daliang return to their hometown, I did not hesitate to walk thousands of miles to the frontiers to save those soldiers."

.......
However, what the officials did not expect was that as soon as the emperor opened his mouth, he not only suppressed the Buddha, but also cut off the Taoist gates.Buddhist practice is based on Zen Master Congxin, and Taoist practice is based on Sun Guanzhu.All other temples and Taoist temples have been abolished and returned to secular life. If you want to enter Taoism and Buddhism, you must follow the behavior standards of these two people established by the emperor in the future, and then you can be counted into Buddhism and Taoism after passing the assessment.
