Wanfu Temple, as the name suggests, is a temple with many Buddha statues.

There are many, many temples in Chang'an City, this Wanfu Temple is the most top-notch among them, and the people of the Sui and Tang dynasties still believe in Buddhism a lot, especially the Xianbei nobles.

The eldest grandson queen has a small character Guanyin, Li Jiancheng has a small character Bishamen, and Yang Jian's wife is directly called Dugu Jialuo, not to mention that there are more believers in Buddhism in the south, known as "four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasty, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain".

Although Li Tang worships the Taoist ancestor Li Er as his ancestor, there are still many people who believe in Buddhism, so almost every monk in this era is very rich.

Whether you are rich or not, just look at the golden Buddha hall and the big Buddha covered with gold leaf.

Following the debate monk to Wanfu Temple, a large group of old bald heads were already arguing in the main hall, and seeing Cheng Chubi's arrival, one of them quickly stood up and greeted Cheng Chubi.

"Senior Brother Xuanji, the old monk is polite, Amitabha." Fu came to Cheng Chubi's side and said with a smile.

"You are?" It seems that you don't know this person, right?

"This is my teacher." The debate monk hurriedly said.

"It turned out to be Senior Brother Daoyue, Amitabha." Cheng Chubi hurriedly returned the salute, because this is not simple, but a master.

"Fellow disciples, this monk is a master of mysteries who has the name of the little God of Wealth, the first genius of the Tang Dynasty, and the mad monk, and he studied under the Hanshan monk." Daoyue took Cheng Chubi's hand and introduced it loudly to the monks, saying: "With his help today, the enemy will definitely be able to solve it!" ”

"I don't even know who your enemy is, but don't talk so much." Cheng Chubi couldn't help but say, specially, I haven't said what you asked me to do yet, don't expect me so high, I'm just an ordinary person.

"At such a young age, can you really solve the problems of Buddhism?" An old monk looked at Cheng Chubi with a puzzled expression, Cheng Chubi was too young, and everyone didn't trust him very much.

There is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm.

"It's really too young, I'm afraid it's hard to get things done."

"I knew this was the case, so why bother?"

"Hey, is it another disaster to destroy the Buddha?"

“……”

Many monks opened their mouths one after another, sighing one by one, they were clearly not optimistic about Cheng Chubi, but also, Cheng Chubi is indeed too young, who can believe him?

"In that case, then everyone, I'll go back first, you don't have a heating here on this cold day, hey." Cheng Chubi said, and was about to turn around and leave.

Since you don't believe in Lao Tzu, why does Lao Tzu talk so much nonsense with you?

"Hey, since my junior brother is here, how can I go back like this?" Daoyue laughed and said: "Senior brother, since he came out of the mountain, in less than half a year, he has become a famous figure in Chang'an City and the entire Tang Dynasty, just the soybean sprouts and tofu, but we have benefited a lot, for the brother believes in the ability of the junior brother, naturally it is able to overcome the current predicament of Buddhism." ”

"Dilemma?" Cheng Chubi really can't figure out what kind of predicament this Buddhism can have? The splendid Buddha hall, the Buddha statue covered with gold leaf or coated with gold powder, there is a bit of embarrassment there? If you are in distress, will not the gate be extinguished?

I have to say that compared with those Taoist priests, this group of monks eats fat and fat, and the Taoist priests are thin and skinny.

"Yes, this time is different from the past, now the saint has promoted the Daomen, and the alchemists in the Daomen have cultivated the elixir, so that the dignitaries and nobles will be regarded as guests, if this goes on for a long time, I am afraid that our Buddhism will decline." Daoyue said.

"If you decline, you will decline, since you have become a monk, you should have four major emptiness, and now you are standing up to fight for power and profit, this is not in line with the teachings of Buddhism, right?" Cheng Chubi couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly, are you still a monk or not? Aren't the monks particular about the emptiness of the four major ones?

"Hmph, although we are already monks, but monks are also human beings, this temple must be repaired, right? This Buddha statue has to be golden, right? We've got to eat, right? What if there are no believers? A chubby figure stood up and said, Cheng Chubi recognized it, it was the monk who was at his door that day.

Then the monks spoke.

"That's true, although it is said that you are a monk, but if you practice a discipline, if you are not a believer, you can't practice."

"Since we are the children of Buddhism, we naturally need more temples and more Buddha statues."

"It is our mission to carry forward my Buddhism."

“……”

Cheng Chubi heard it, these guys are really not really Buddhist disciples, they are just a group of people who are collecting money everywhere in the name of monks, and now the Taoist people are gathered in Chang'an City to refine the elixir for the princes and generals, so they are all nervous.

If this continues, it must be that the believers have thrown themselves into Taoism, Taoism is prosperous, Buddhism is defeated, and then everyone has to farm and farm to support themselves.

This group of monks would not do such a thing, they needed believers, they needed countless believers to support them, so that they could live a life that was neither aristocratic nor aristocratic.

"Actually, it's not that there is no way, isn't it just to compete for believers? I have a solution. Cheng Chubi said with a smile.

"Oh? Isn't that a quick deal? Daoyue couldn't help but be overjoyed, he didn't want to get involved, but when he saw that Buddhism was in trouble, he still stood up.

"Everyone, although you are a monk, you should also understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world." The smile on Cheng Chubi's face became even stronger.

"What do you mean by that? Don't forget, you are also a monk! The fat monk stood up and asked.

"Who told you that I am now a monk? I'm obviously a Confucian now, okay? The smile on Cheng Chubi's face became even stronger: "I don't want much, I only need 100,000 stone of grain." ”

"You...... How can you do that! ”

"It's simply insulting to Buddhism!"

"Aren't you afraid of going to hell like this?"

“……”

The monks asked angrily.

"Of course I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid that I won't have this 100,000 stone grain." Cheng Chubi said with a smile: "Why not 200,000 stones?" ”

"You!"

"Three hundred thousand stones?"

"Four hundred thousand?"

"Half a million?"

“……”

"Senior brother, don't sit on the ground and raise the price, we can give you 150,000 stones, what do you think?" Daoyue sighed helplessly, from the mouth of the debater, he had already known that this junior brother was greedy for money, and he didn't expect to be so greedy.

"This ...... Well, but delivery within three days. Cheng Chubi smiled slightly and said, "Senior brother, I still believe in you." ”

Every temple has a field, and there is no need to pay taxes, and some temples even do business secretly, so these monks are rich and have food.

This is also why the disaster of destroying the Buddha often occurs in history, this Buddhism wants money and money, people and people, and food is even more food.

150,000 stone may seem like a lot, but with so many temples combined, it's definitely a piece of cake.

"Don't worry, my strategy will definitely be able to make Buddhism rise, and maybe it can also press the Daomen." The smile on Cheng Chubi's face became even stronger.

The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, Xiao Cheng profits, good and good!

Newcomers, new books, kneel and beg for everyone's support~~
