Chapter 149: Shi Fachang, what are you going to give Lao Dao?
Shengye Temple located in Shengyefang is not a famous ancient temple with a long history like Zhuangyan Temple and Wulu Temple. It was founded by the eminent monk Faya of the Fahua Sect in the third year of Wude... Yes, it is the former
Monk Falla, who was soon arrested for treason, proposed the construction.
Although this Falla monk has mediocre cultivation qualifications and has not been able to achieve Arahantship for decades, he is definitely a first-class expert in playing tricks.
Take the construction of Shengye Temple as an example...
First, Faya went through Li Yuan's back door through Pei Ji. He told His Majesty Li Yuan that Buddhism was willing to pay to build a temple to pray for Li Yuan's first wife, Queen Taimu, the Dou family.
Because of his feelings, he successfully obtained a permit to build a new temple in Shengyefang.
After getting this permission, Falla did not immediately start building the temple, but spread the news that Buddhism would pray for Empress Taimu Dou to build the temple. This was a matter of great merit, because Empress Dou was a Bodhisattva who came to the world.
Barabara...
After the news was almost spread, Faya then used the face of Pei Ji and Xianggong Pei to start wandering around the houses of some prominent officials who believed in Buddhism, such as Xiao Yu and Yu Shinan, and soon attracted these high-ranking officials to establish a
Committee to build a prayer temple for Queen Dou.
With the participation of these Buddhist officials, Falla held several grand "Prayers for Empress Dou" in Chang'an under the name of Fahua Sect.
Under the leadership of senior officials, the fundraising went very smoothly.
After cutting several waves of leeks, Falla not only got the money to build the temple, but also made a huge profit.
Take a closer look. Does this routine look familiar?
However, because Falla's focus was on building routines, the construction of the temple was inevitably delayed. As a result, the Shengye Temple was delayed until the fourth year of Wude before the construction began.
After the work was stopped twice due to lack of budget, Monk Falla stepped forward and led everyone to hold two Dharma meetings to raise funds...
Finally, it was not until May of the fifth year of Taketoku that the main body of Shengye Temple was basically completed, and the eminent monk Fa Chang of the Fahua Sect moved in and became the temple master of Shengye Temple.
When Kong Qing followed Qingxiazi to Shengye Temple with the Skanda pestle in his hand, he could still see that there were shelves around the stupa behind the temple, and people were busy building it.
.
"Master Qingxia, why did you come to Monk Fa Chang to discuss this matter with nothing?"
After hearing Kong Qing's words, Su Yuanlang turned to look at him with some doubts.
"To deal with a Buddhist monk from the Lotus Sect, do I, an old Taoist, have to lead a large group of people with him?"
"This... what Xiaodao means is that we don't need to bring those two witnesses, the ghost witness and the physical evidence..."
Kong Qing raised the Wei Tuo Demon Subdueing pestle in his hand and shook it.
"Now we are carrying such a thing, what if the monk refuses to admit it even to death?"
"Evidence or no evidence is not necessary, because..."
Su Yuanlang chuckled lightly, and walked straight towards the gate of Shengye Temple with his hands behind his back.
"...if Xifachang knew the consequences of refusing to confess until death, he would definitely confess."
"?"
Kong Qing blinked silently and followed.
"Namo Miaoguang Bodhisattva! This is a Buddhist temple. If the two donors want to enter the temple to celebrate, please..."
Just when Kong Qing followed Su Yuanlang to the gate of Shengye Temple, two monks walked out from behind the door, clasping their hands together, as if they wanted to stop them, but when they saw Su Yuanlang's face clearly
After that, he immediately became speechless.
"Please...please..."
Then, Kong Qing saw the two monks holding back two words after opening their mouths a few times.
"...Please come in!"
Then the two of them dodged away, one to the left and the other to the right!
Su Yuanlang, who was in front of Kong Qing, didn't even raise his eyelids and walked in with striding steps.
Kong Qing carried the Skanda pestle and followed silently.
He originally wanted to make a handsome appearance when the monks at the temple gate stopped him, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so cowardly.
"Qingwei, have you seen that sculpture?"
After walking into Shengye Temple, Su Yuanlang clasped his hands behind his back and pointed to Kong Qing like a tour guide.
"That thing, plus the tree and the prayer pillar next to it, is a Buddhist magic circle..."
"Is this also a magic circle?"
Kong Qing threw an identification technique at his fingertips.
The base magic weapon of Fangyu Realm:
This is a formation-based magic weapon in the inner altar of Buddhism. When all the formation-based magic tools are activated, it can isolate the inside and outside and be protected by the good gods.
Qingxiazi is right, this is really a magic weapon of a magic circle.
"But the Buddhist magic circle is just a bunch of bald guys bragging..."
Su Yuanlang said in a disdainful tone while walking forward with his hands behind his back.
"Actually, when Buddhism was first introduced to China, it only knew about asceticism. Now these various magic formations are basically copied from our Taoist sect. Oh, by the way, they also copied many Feng Shui magic formations.
Then we pieced together these so-called Buddhist magic formations, which are of no great use at all and can only be used to bluff people."
Kong Qing's mind recalled the situation when he was suppressed by Monk Yifan with the Samaya Mandala Array, and then he silently ignored the last words Su Yuanlang said.
Whether it is useful or not depends on each person!
Just when Qingxiazi led Kong Qing to the square in front of the Main Hall of Shengye Temple, he saw four or five monks rushing out from the backyard. The leader was a man in his fifties, wearing a large coat.
A great monk in a red cassock and a majestic appearance.
"I don't know if Qingxia Zhenren's visit would be better than welcoming her from afar..."
This monk in his fifties had a very good attitude. He smiled, nodded and bowed with me all the way.
"...Forgive me, forgive me!"
"Explanation of Dharma,"
When facing this old monk, Su Yuanlang's face no longer had any smile.
"The old Taoist came here to discuss the matter of Kong Ke joining the army in the Suizhou Governor's Office. Tell me, what are you going to give the old Taoist explanation?"
"Kong Ke joined the army in the office of the general manager of Suizhou..."
The old monk tilted his head, as if he was thinking, and then shook his head after a few seconds.
"Sorry, the old monk doesn't know this donor Kong Ke..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Qingxiazi flicking his robe sleeves and punching the old monk in the stomach. Then the body of the sanctimonious and solemn monk was spinning in the air.
Just flew out.
boom!
After a muffled sound, the waist of the great monk Fachang hit a nearby pine tree hard, causing the tree trunk to shake.
"His!"
Kong Qing looked at the great monk Fachang who almost shot into the tree and now looked in pain, and took a breath of cold air.
This is really cruel. This great monk will definitely not be able to use it in the future... Wait, he is a monk, so he won't be able to use it in the first place.
That’s okay!
The few monks who were following Monk Fa Chang saw Qingxiazi taking action. Instead of coming to help, they all took a step back. They seemed to be frightened by Qingxiazi who took action at the slightest disagreement.
"Explanation of Dharma often..."
With a calm look on his face, Su Yuanlang retracted his hands and sleeves and said unhurriedly.
"The purpose of Lao Dao's visit today is to ask you to tell Lao Dao how you plan to explain Kong Ke's matter. I am not discussing with you whether you know him or not. Don't go off topic."
Looking at the domineering Qingxiazi, Kong Qing silently put away the evidence Wei Tuo pestle in his hand. Then he looked up and saw Monk Fa Chang holding his hand on the pine tree and saying in a stern voice.
"Master Qingxia, you are planning to start a war with our Fahua Sect..."
Before he finished speaking, Kong Qing saw Qingxiazi's figure flashing past him. He was still punching mediocrely without any tricks, but just when the fist reached his body, he saw the figure opposite him.
Monk Chang's body flashed with golden light.
Kong Qing is very familiar with this light. When he fought against Monk Yifan, he had seen the opponent use this skill. It should be similar to a protective shield or an indestructible diamond.
Kong Qing still remembered that when Yifan used this move, the Gu Chen Sword before his transformation could not hurt the opponent, and the defensive power was definitely not as good as before.
boom!
With one punch, the golden light dissipated. The Vajra spell used by Monk Fachang was as thin as a piece of paper in front of Qingxiazi. Kong Qing even felt that the golden light of Monk Fachang's protective body seemed to be reflected in Qingxiazi's fist.
I couldn't resist it for even a moment.
Then, Qingxiazi punched Monk Fachang in the stomach again.
The next second, Monk Fa Chang's body was spinning in the air again, flying directly from the courtyard of the Main Hall to the pillar in front of the main hall.
Click!
After having the Vajra body protection, one of the 30 centimeter-diameter pillars in front of the main hall was smashed directly by monk Fa Chang. The eaves swayed, and more than a dozen tiles fell from above, causing convulsions all over the body.
The Dharma always comes to the monk.
"It doesn't matter if your Fahua Sect wants to start a war, but even if you start a war, you have to give an explanation to the old Taoist."
Qingxiazi clasped her hands behind her back and walked step by step up the steps in front of the Main Hall, towards Monk Fa Chang.
"Shi Fa Chang, the old Taoist would like to remind you that all your protective energy has been dispersed by the old Taoist. If you keep talking nonsense like this, the old Taoist will punch you next and your Fa Chang will pass away!"
Hearing this, Kong Qing finally understood the meaning of what Qingxiazi said to him before entering the door, "Executors of the law always know the consequences of refusing to admit it even to the point of death."
Even if Monk Fachang dares to deny it even to death, then Qingxiazi really dares to help him!
At this time, the old monk Fachang had completely lost his majestic appearance just now. The collision with the pillar just now made his cassock covered with dust, and his face was wiped by a piece of tile, leaving a gray streak.
trace.
He sat on the ground leaning on a half-pillar, looking at Qingxiazi who was approaching step by step, his face was ashen, and he completely lost the luck he had at the beginning.
"Junior Brother Yifan, the man named Kong Ke was arranged by Junior Brother Yifan in the name of the old monk. The old monk only found out after this happened, but at that time the old monk could no longer find Junior Brother Yifan.
."
"so……"
Qingxiazi said coldly.
"This is the explanation you gave to the old Taoist, a monk Yifan who doesn't know where he is?"
"This is the fact. As for the old monk's explanation..."
A look of determination appeared on Monk Fa Chang's face, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped one of his legs.
Click!
After a crisp sound, one of Monk Fa Chang's legs hung limply.
"The old monk violated the agreement with Master Qingxia, secretly captured souls to preach, and then failed to manage it well. The old monk is willing to give you an explanation with one leg, Master Qingxia. What do you think?"
Seeing the broken leg of Monk Fa Chang, the monks standing next to Kong Qing showed unbearable expressions, lowered their heads and chanted the Buddha's name.
"Namo Miaoguang Bodhisattva!"
Seeing that Fa Chang broke her leg, Qingxiazi still had no expression on her face and uttered two words.
"not enough!"
"How about the old monk asking all those who are related to soul-catching this time to go to the Xuantan of the Taishi Bureau to surrender?"
"not enough!"
"In that case, Junior Brother Yifan is the one who takes action this time..."
Monk Fa Chang endured the pain and continued with his mouth trembling.
"Within a month, the old monk will send him to the Taishi Bureau, okay?"
This time, Qingxiazi's footsteps stopped, he lowered his head and glanced at Monk Fa Chang.
"If you remember your words, I will give you a month."
Saying that, Qingxiazi flicked her sleeves, turned around and walked back.
