Chu Li replied, "Your Majesty, I don't deserve such a generous gift."
He did not expect Zhao Yancheng to give him such a generous gift. It was equivalent to giving him an independent kingdom. The Ruyi Temple was his territory and this was the capital, the land under the emperor's feet. Of course, the significance was different.
Zhao Zhenghe smiled and said, "Since Imperial Father has bestowed it, he naturally has his reasons. I understand Imperial Father very well, and he will not give out favors indiscriminately. He is very clear about his rewards. The greater the contribution, the greater the reward."
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
He also noticed this characteristic of Zhao Yancheng.
He seemed stingy but he was fair and strict. Being an emperor was actually an advantage.
"Let's go, Master. Let's go take a look at the Ruyi Temple," Zhao Zhenghe said impatiently.
He had seen the Ruyi Temple from afar but did not get a chance to get closer. At that time, the temple was under construction and no one was allowed to enter to prevent danger. As a Royal Highness, he was no exception.
"Let's go." Chu Li nodded.
The two left the Imperial Residence. They did not use a sedan but slowly walked forward. They arrived at the center of the capital and walked towards a street in the southeast direction. They saw a magnificent temple.
The temple was not big. It was not as big as the Baoguo Temple. It was only half the size and had five halls. The glazed roof shone brightly under the sun, showing the dignity and luxury of Buddhism.
When they arrived at the Ruyi Temple, two Protectors were standing straight like pine trees. They held onto their blades and glared at them.
When they saw Chu Li, they quickly let go of their blades and fist saluted. "Greetings, Master!"
Chu Li pressed his palms together and smiled. "Thank you for your hard work, Protectors. I don't need you to do this here. Please return to protect His Majesty."
He had a photographic memory and knew that these two were Imperial House Protectors.
The two shook their heads. "Master, His Majesty ordered us to protect him. We dare not disobey."
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "If that's the case, I'll let His Majesty know."
The two were relieved.
Zhao Zhenghe pushed open the temple door and the two stepped into the Ruyi Temple.
There was a Buddha statue in the main hall. Its head was on the roof and its feet were on the ground. It had a majestic aura and a compassionate expression. Its drooping eyes were filled with compassion as if it was observing all living beings.
In front of the golden Buddha statue, there was an incense table and a praying mat. The fragrance of sandalwood wafted out, filling the main hall with a refreshing fragrance that calmed one's mind.
Chu Li nodded in satisfaction. He turned around and went to the Sangharama Temple next to it. He looked at the Maitreya Temple next to it and then walked to the courtyard next to it. Ancient trees had been planted there and it was quiet and pleasant.
"It's rare for Imperial Father to be so generous," Zhao Zhenghe praised.
These ancient trees were easy to find, but it was not easy to grow them. If a person moved, the trees would die. Without extraordinary skills and meticulous care, as well as many precious herbs, it was impossible to make these ancient trees grow.
As far as he knew, his father was most opposed to this kind of superficial work. He felt that it was a waste and a luxury.
He didn't expect that this time, he would make an exception for his master. It was enough to show how much his imperial father valued and respected his master.
Chu Li smiled and said, "Your Majesty is really considerate."
Whether or not there was an ancient tree in the monastery was a completely different scene. It was of great importance. The ancient tree's transformation of the surrounding environment was powerful. It was an invisible force that could affect one's mind.
It was easier to meditate by sitting under the ancient tree and listening to the sutras.
"Master, is there anything else that needs to be built?" Zhao Zhenghe said, "I'll go talk to Father."
Chu Li pondered.
"Just tell me, Master." Zhao Zhenghe thought that he had concerns.
Chu Li said, "Then let's build nine more small towers."
"No problem. How big are the towers?" Zhao Zhenghe asked.
Chu Li gestured at the top of his head. "Three of this height will do. It doesn't have to be too tall."
"Okay." Zhao Zhenghe nodded.
Chu Li said, "Follow me."
He walked around the Ruyi Temple and marked out nine locations.
"Build the towers at these locations. The positions must not be wrong," Chu Li said seriously.
Zhao Zhenghe asked, "Master, what are these towers used for?"
He was puzzled. Was there a need to pay so much attention to the positions when building a tower? Moreover, there were nine of them?
Chu Li said slowly, "Build a dojo."
"A dojo?" Zhao Zhenghe was shocked. "For preaching?"
Chu Li nodded. "A dojo is a sacred place for Buddhism. Once a believer dies, they can be resurrected in this dojo and continue to exist and cultivate until their cultivation transcends life and death. When they enter the cycle of reincarnation, they will no longer be trapped in the womb."
Zhao Zhenghe hurriedly said, "Master, do you mean that even if a believer dies, their soul can still live on?"
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Zhao Zhenghe looked at the Compliance Temple and was skeptical. Then, he thought of Chu Li's divine power to resurrect the dead and had to believe it.
