Chapter 83 Call out the power behind you

"Your Highness, I have heard of this matter before."

Li Yuanfang lowered his voice, and said: "The one who rang the monk bell should be the former Daxingshan Temple. There came a new abbot, whose Dharma name is Qingzhan."

"It's actually Daxingshan Temple?" Li Heng frowned upon hearing this.

The Daxingshan Temple incident three years ago can be said to be the beginning of the decline of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty. The monk Futian who was transformed by the deer demon also seemed to come because of the Daxingshan Temple incident, which led to the following series of events.

After that, the original monks of Daxingshan Temple had been dismissed from all over the country, and the huge monastery had long been abandoned. Unexpectedly, just after the three-year period, some monks came to Daxingshan Temple to rebuild the gate.

This monk Qingzhan is very courageous.

"What is the origin of this monk?" Li Heng asked again.

"I heard that he is a monk from the northern frontier. He has a compassionate heart and is proficient in medical skills. He has healed many seriously injured soldiers." Li Yuanfang rarely showed any disgust for the monk. "The frontier soldiers who were on duty half a month ago returned to Beijing. The monk followed him back to Chang'an.

"His Majesty was grateful for his merits, so he gave him the long-abandoned Daxingshan Temple, and allowed him to open a medical clinic in Daxingshan Temple to treat diseases for the people and teach medical skills at the same time."

"Oh?" Li Heng frowned and said, "Aren't you afraid that it's a secret work sent by the Turks?"

"General Chai Shao, who led this team of soldiers back to the capital, highly respected this monk Qingzhan, and presented a clear and traceable identity certificate, so His Majesty did not regard this monk as a meticulous work." Li Yuanfang said, "Your Highness still Have doubts?"

"Come with me to meet this monk." Li Heng said in a deep voice, he always felt that there was something wrong with this monk Qingzhan.

Although he had already checked the Renhuang Mountain and Sea Disk, there was no red dot on it, but he just felt something was wrong, so he decided to go and check it out himself.

"Yes, Your Highness." Li Yuanfang nodded in response.

In Chang'an City, the Daxingshan Temple, which had been abandoned for a long time, has returned to its former bustling scene.

The overgrown weeds in the temple were all eradicated, wisps of smoke were rekindled in the incense burner, and the sound of chanting sutras and chanting Buddha reverberated over the temple again.

Many pilgrims also come here to offer incense and worship Buddha.

This made many "Taoist priests" who still had their hearts in Buddhism and wanted to return to the Buddhist family were very excited. Many "Taoist priests" even knelt directly in front of the gate of Daxingshan Temple to thank the eminent monk Qingzhan of Chongxing Temple.

However, in the Daxingshan Temple at this time, the largest number of people were neither monks nor Taoist priests.

But the people who came to see a doctor.

Monk Qingzhan got the emperor's permission to reopen Daxingshan Temple, but he was not allowed to spread Buddhism and Dharma, he could only teach medical skills and heal patients.

And do not take.

If there is a disease that needs to be prescribed according to the prescription, the money for the medicine will be paid out of the incense money of the temple.

This is tantamount to completely free medical treatment.

For ordinary people, it is simply a great thing.

On weekdays, everyone has a disease more or less, but it costs money to see a doctor and get medicine. The poor people simply don't want to part with it.

Now that there is a free place to see a doctor, naturally they all go there happily.

Qingzhan is a middle-aged monk who looks to be in his 30s.

He was dressed in a gray monk robe, with handsome features and a gentle look, and there was a hint of agility in his brows and eyes, which showed that he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

At this time, Li Heng and Li Yuanfang had arrived at Daxingshan Temple, but they did not go there directly, but stood in a distant place that must pass by and watched Monk Qingzhan.

"Your Highness, do you need me to go over and invite this monk?" Li Yuanfang asked in a low voice.

Although he has grown into a young man, he still has a childish character and is quite impatient. After standing here and waiting for a while, he can't stand still.

"No need." Li Heng shook his head lightly, fixed his eyes on Monk Qingzhan, and said, "Don't disturb the people who come to see the doctor."

"Yes, Your Highness." Li Yuanfang took a step back as ordered, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, this monk Qingzhan seems to be really a compassionate person. His Majesty asked him to treat people for free, and he actually agreed."

"This is a desperate counterattack strategy." Li Heng said with a light smile: "Father probably wants to take this opportunity to attract a free doctor to benefit the people of Chang'an City.

"After all, there are too few qualified doctors and doctors these days. Judging from the way this monk Qingzhan treats patients, his medical skills are indeed top-notch in the world.

"However, if it takes such a long time, the people in Chang'an City will naturally transfer their gratitude to Monk Qingzhan to Buddhism.

"This will benefit the revival of Buddhism.

"As long as this monk Qingzhan has the ambition to revive Buddhism, he will definitely not refuse such a good thing."

"Ah?" Li Yuanfang patted his head with surprise on his face, "Why didn't I think of it? However, Your Majesty should be able to think of this, so we won't let Buddhism revive."

"Three years after changing Buddhism to Taoism, the Taoist school, which is the state religion, has been a little inflated." Li Heng looked at the sky, and said with a chuckle: "Although Taoism advocates pure cultivation, the damage to the state affairs and society is far less than that of Buddhism, but after all, the ancient There is Zhang Jiao, and then there is Sun En

"It is obviously impossible to say that there is no defense against Daomen. It may be the father's plan to revive Buddhism in a limited way to restrain Daomen."

Zhang Jiao and Sun En are both famous figures in the history of Taoism, and they are also famous rebels.

The Taoist sect has rebellious traditions.

In fact, the current result was predicted by Li Heng when he proposed to change Buddhism into Taoism.

Li Shimin couldn't see the Buddhism being too strong, and naturally it was impossible for the Taoism to be too strong. The will of the people should be controlled by the imperial power to be the safest.

The sun is gradually sinking to the west, the sky is glowing red, and the sky is burning with fire, but it is dusk and night is approaching.

The people who were seeing a doctor in Daxingshan Temple have all dispersed.

The desolation and silence of the past have returned here, but the gentle monk Qingzhan is still standing in the distance, looking at Li Heng.

At this time, Li Yuanfang had been sent back by Li Heng, and he was the only one left here.

Monk Qingzhan came to Li Heng with a smile on his face, put his hands together, and said with a smile: "Amitabha, this young man is very noble, and he must be of extraordinary status. It is fate that he came to Daxingshan Temple. You have to enter a stick Is it fragrant?"

As he said that, he flipped his palm, and a long incense candle was conjured out of thin air, and it was delivered to Li Heng.

"You are really not a mortal." Li Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, and performed the chaotic method of restraining breath, showing hundreds of years of Taoism, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

"Who is this seat? You, an ordinary man, don't deserve to know." Monk Qingzhan laughed, his voice was like a howling wind, but he was not gentle at all, but extremely arrogant, and said with a smile:

"Ask the powerful human being behind you to come out, I have something to discuss with him."

Chapter 84 The Devil Goes Away

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the Daxingshan Temple was a little flushed.

Li Heng looked calm, looked at the mysterious monk in front of him, smiled and said: "I don't understand what you are talking about? What kind of human power is behind me, is the master referring to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors?"

"Hahaha!" Monk Qingzhan laughed, looked at Li Heng sarcastically, and said with a sneer, "How do the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors exist, and your meager magic power like an ant deserves them to stand behind you? It's ridiculous!
