The most important thing was that the Buddhist Sect did not engage in production. In the previous dynasty, the material resources of a country could not compare to the Buddhist Sect.
However, Li Xiuyuan was also a Buddhist. He liked this kind of words, he thought sinisterly.
"Oh, but that Heshi jade?" Li Xiuyuan asked.”
Zen Master Liaokong was shocked when he heard this, but when he thought of this person's identity, he wasn't surprised anymore. He replied respectfully,"That's right."
Li Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and said,"Where is the Heshi Jade now?"”
The strange energy inside the Heshi Wall had allowed Kuo Zhong, Xu Zhiling, and Ba Fenghan of the Great Tang to be reborn. It had a shocking effect, and Li Xiuyuan naturally wanted it.
Zen Master Liaokong's expression changed when he heard this. He stammered,""Um…this?"
He was a little at a loss as to whether he should say it or not.
" Yes," Li Xiuyuan said calmly." The Buddhists don't lie. Don't you know the commandments?"”
As he spoke, a cold light bloomed in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through him.
After Zen Master Liaokong heard this, sweat as big as beans flowed down his forehead. He was no longer as calm as before. He finally said,"Disciple was wrong. The Heshi jade is in the Mercy Boathouse.”
As he spoke, he clasped his hands and bowed.
One had to know that the Maha-Vairocana Sutra that Li Xiuyuan cultivated, if he did not display his martial strength, ordinary people would naturally not know his realm.
The Mercy Boathouse and the Jingnian Zen Sect were known as the two Holy Lands of the Tang Empire and were the leaders of the White Dao martial arts world.
Every time the Central Plains was in chaos, they would send their disciples to find the true Son of Heaven and bring the world back to justice.
As he spoke, he looked very interested.
"Of course, if the Venerable One wants to take a look, you can wait for the people from the Compassionate Boathouse to arrive. They will bring the Heshi Jade."”
As he spoke, he bowed again.
Talking to a person of extremely high seniority was simply a pain in the back. Why didn't he realize it before?
Li Xiuyuan's expression was calm when he heard this. He said indifferently,"Forget it. I don't know how long it will take for them to arrive. Moreover, this Kind Boathouse is considered one of the two major factions of our Buddhist Sect in the end of the Sui Dynasty.
I've already been to the Jingnian Zen Temple. Why don't you accompany me to the Emperor's Treading Peak?”
Zen Master Liaokong's expression changed when he heard this. He stammered,""This…this?"
Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. At the same time, he thought to himself, Why are you leaving so soon? Did I not greet you well enough?
Li Xiuyuan saw Kong's hesitation and asked,""Are you unwilling?"
He didn't say that he would take him there immediately. After all, he had just arrived at the Jingnian Zen Monastery. Compared to the monks in the monastery, he would rather stay in the Merciful Boathouse and stay with the many nuns.
At least it was pleasing to the eye!
While Zen Master Liaokong heaved a sigh of relief, he did not forget to reply,""Yes, please rest in the hall. Disciple will prepare some vegetarian meals.”
Li Xiuyuan said indifferently,"Okay, go quickly!" Oh right, remember to prepare more wine and meat.”
"Venerable One, this is a violation of the precepts."”
Li Xiuyuan's expression was indifferent as he said seriously,"As the saying goes, wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha stays in his heart.
As long as you have Buddha in your heart, it's fine.
Moreover, I have reincarnated into the human world this time, so I naturally have to experience the sufferings of all living beings and try them one by one.
As the Venerable Dragon Vanquisher, he had been the first to set his sights on the monks. He was extremely high and mighty in the eyes of the monks. Now that he said that he would eat wine and drink meat, he had his own set of theories.
Although the monks felt that it was inappropriate to say this, they couldn't criticize or object to his noble status. Someone immediately prepared wine and meat.
At this moment, Bodhidharma slapped his forehead and cursed in his heart. His master was good in every way except for drinking and eating meat. However, he would be fine once he got used to it.
Sometimes, when Li Xiuyuan called the monks over to eat, they could only run away with bitter faces.
Three days later, everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief because Li Xiuyuan was about to leave.
Li Xiuyuan was riding on a white horse, followed by Zen Master Liaokong and two ordinary monks. As for the Four Great Vajras, they stayed in the temple, including his disciple Bodhidharma.
Li Xiuyuan wanted to help Bodhidharma find a place to settle down. The Jingnian Zen Temple was the best. Moreover, he had long planned to turn the Jingnian Zen Temple into a Shaolin Temple and become a disciple of his faction.
Along the way, Li Xiuyuan realized that after he accepted Bodhidharma, if Bodhidharma saved people or did good deeds, he could also obtain a lot of merit points. Although it seemed a little small, as long as it was someone from his lineage, it would bring him benefits.
Even Li Qiu Shui, who cultivated the Supreme Heavenly Demon Scripture, was the same. That was why he planned to use the Jingnian Zen Temple as a shelter for Bodhidharma.
If it were Bodhidharma himself, Li Xiuyuan would not doubt whether he could create a huge foundation. After all, he was the founder of Shaolin Temple, so he naturally had the ability.
However, it was not something that could be done overnight. Now that he had Ning Nian Zen Temple as his foundation, he could save a lot of effort.
