"Last time I made a misjudgment and the abbot was seriously injured. Because of this, many ministers protested. I am deeply sorry."
"Why don't you host him and ask him to come out and meet him in person?"
Host Huisheng simply took a look at Jue Zhen.
"Junior Brother Juezhen, go and ask Jue Xiu to come and see His Majesty."
"Yes." Juezhen put his hands together and saluted.
Then he took a steady step forward, making a clanging sound when he stepped on the ground.
Qin Yun narrowed his eyes: "Wait!"
Abbot Juezhen turned around and lowered his head: "Your Majesty, may I ask if you have any other instructions?"
Qin Yun bypassed Huisheng and walked over with interest, watching Juezhen start walking.
He joked: "It turns out that the master is Abbot Juezhen. I have admired him for a long time."
"A monk is a vegetarian, but he can raise the abbot to be so powerful. That's good!"
Juezhen smiled slightly, but could not hide his edge.
"Your Majesty, the poor monk is the guardian abbot of the temple. He has learned the martial arts inherited from the temple since he was a child. He has accumulated it over time and is able to do this."
"Your Majesty, please don't listen to the rumors in the world. The pure will become pure themselves, and the filthy will become turbid."
Compared to Huisheng, Juezhen's answer seems less artistic and less advanced.
Qin Yun glanced over and said in a serious tone: "I didn't say anything, abbot, why are you so anxious to explain?"
Jue Zhen's expression changed, and he felt panicked in his heart!
He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, what this poor monk means is that he just doesn't want to create a gap between the imperial court and Chaotian Temple."
Qin Yun snorted disdainfully: "Since when has Chaotian Temple become an equal to the imperial court? What the abbot said is a bit out of line!"
"Bang!"
Juezhen knelt down, put his hands together and said, "Your Majesty, this poor monk made a mistake."
On the side, the expressions of the eminent monks such as Chaotian Temple changed slightly.
Qin Yun's words were tantamount to beating, beating hard.
Not to mention the abbots, even Huisheng presided over it, but his heart was no longer peaceful.
His eyes flickered, what did the emperor know?
Qin Yun did not continue to exert pressure, waved his hand and said: "Let Jue Xiu come over. I came here this time because I also want to see him and check on his injuries."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Abbot Juezhen nodded.
After exiting the hall, beads of sweat fell from his forehead inadvertently, feeling extremely stressed.
During the time when sleep comes.
Qin Yun walked around, accompanied by Huisheng and other eminent monks.
Along the way, I didn't find anything unusual. The entire Chaotian Temple really looked like a place of pilgrimage. Apart from the large number of pilgrims and the flourishing incense, there was really nothing special about it.
If you want to check something, I'm afraid you have to turn this place upside down.
However, the pressure of public opinion and the late emperor's decree did not allow this.
"Hey, there is actually a giant Buddha here, blessed with a golden body. It's really majestic!"
"It will take a lot of gold, right?" Qin Yun looked at the open space behind Tianyin Palace and felt a little unhappy. Most of the gold was stolen from the imperial court.
Huisheng smiled slightly and said, "This Buddha was built by the order of the late emperor."
"Originally, the vacant land was intended to be turned into a temple specially used by the royal family for prayers in Daxia. However, due to His Majesty's decree, Chaotian Temple was no longer given any preferential treatment."
"So, put it on hold."
Qin Yun raised his eyebrows and said perfunctorily: "There is no way. The Guanzhong disaster coincided with tax issues. I reluctantly gave up and stopped spending a lot of money."
The old monk Huisheng remained calm and said with a smile: "This is what your Majesty should do, and what Chaotian Temple should follow."
"If money is spent on disaster relief, it is spent on the razor's edge."
Qin Yun curled his lips and sneered at these sanctimonious words.
Sudden!
wrong!
He keenly noticed that the eyes of the eminent monks around him were twinkling, and there were some subtle changes from when he talked about the open space and the Buddha statue.
Qin Yun instinctively became suspicious.
As they walked up, the faces of the eminent monks were even weirder, a little nervous and a little apprehensive.
Qin Yun's eyes lit up, there was definitely something wrong!!
He lifted his feet and walked towards the open space.
The place itself is a bit strange. There is a golden Buddha statue in the open space. It seems that it is rarely cleaned and it is overgrown with weeds.
Compared with the prosperous Chaotian Temple, it seems like two different places.
Host Huisheng's face changed, but in the end he did not stop him, but continued to follow.
However, the atmosphere was much colder.
Stepping into this open space seems to change the scene!
In broad daylight, Qin Yun shivered unconsciously, as if there were gusts of dark wind blowing in his ears, which was extremely frightening.
He looked back at Jin Yiwei's reaction.
They all had strange faces and felt the same way.
How can a Buddhist holy place be so gloomy?
So Qin Yun glanced at Huisheng: "Master, why does this place seem abandoned? There is no life at all, but it is lifeless."
Huisheng smiled slightly, while the other eminent monks lowered their heads.
"Your Majesty, the poor monk just said that this place has been abandoned and cannot be repaired because there is no funds."
Qin Yun narrowed his eyes: "Really?"
"But why do I feel weird? There is no one here, and no one is cleaning it. It's so gloomy!"
Huisheng recited a Buddhist name.
He said: "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, it was the late emperor's intention to build the huge golden Buddha statue here. He wanted to use this to suppress the ghosts of injustice and suppress the bad luck in Daxia."
"The poor monk led the monks from Chaotian Temple to chant sutras day and night to save the souls of the dead and the killings of the royal family in the past..."
"That's why this place is so eerie."
"Your Majesty has not allocated funds to build a new temple. The original Buddha statue should have been towed away."
"But what the Buddha statue guards is sin and killing. If it is removed, great disaster may happen, so the Buddha statue has always guarded this open space."
"Few people dare to enter Chaotian Temple."
After hearing this, Qin Yun was disdainful, but did not have too much doubt.
He does not believe in ghosts and gods, nor does he believe in Buddha, nor does he believe in the so-called killing due to sin.
But it doesn't mean that the ancients didn't believe it. On the contrary, they believed it very much.
Emperors of all dynasties have behaved like this, either building temples, giving salvation, or spreading kindness, hoping to eliminate their own sins.
"Your Majesty, do you want to go over and take a look at the Buddha statue?" Host Huisheng's eyes flashed, and he suddenly took the initiative to invite.
Qin Yun glanced at him.
At this time, Jiexiu has arrived!
"Amitabha, this poor monk comes to see Your Majesty." Juexiu knelt down, his expression as usual.
Qin Yun turned back and looked at him carefully. There was nothing unusual. It seemed that the Gu insect was very effective, and Chaotian Temple did not take excessive measures against him.
"Well, it seems that Abbot Juexiu is recovering well. I'm relieved now."
Jue Xiu raised his head and said calmly, "It's thanks to His Majesty's blessing."
Qin Yun received his look and remained calm.
Presumably Tong Wei has already started taking action.
He turned back and took another look at the gilded Buddha statue standing in the gloomy open space, and said slowly: "Let's go."
Host Huisheng and other senior officials heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.
What the Buddha statue suppressed was not some bullshit sin of innocent souls, and it had nothing to do with the royal family!
The group left.
Returning to the main hall, we exchanged greetings for half a stick of incense.
A sudden change occurs!
To the east of the temple, the shouts of killing soared into the sky and the flames billowed.
Like a scourge, it broke the solemnity and tranquility of this ancient temple!!
