Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 604: Buddhist Magical Powers

Li Xuan only then remembered that when he first met Master Shanliao, he accurately pointed out Bilge who was hiding in the sandstorm, causing Bilge to be immobilized by Master Chenghai's immobilization technique and then beaten up.

Li Xuan's previous hiding had not gone unnoticed. Bilge had once used his sensitivity to gazes to detect Li Xuan's surveillance.

But Master Shanliao was obviously one step ahead and could directly find Li Xuan's existence.

"There must be some means I don't know."

“Is it just that Tao is special?”

Master Shanliao looked at Li Xuan's alert expression, but still smiled.

Li Xuan was very displeased with the old monk's asking-for-a-beating look, and he snorted at him immediately.

"what--"

Master Shanliao's originally smiling expression froze.

He remembered that Master Chenghai had told him that this cat was very intelligent, after all, it could write with its tail.

Master Ke Shanliao was speechless when he saw Li Xuan flirting with him.

"It seems like there's something really wrong with me, playing tricks on the cat."

Master Shan Liao couldn't help but reflect.

Li Xuan saw that Master Shanle had put away his provocative expression, so he stopped breathing and wrote with his tail:

"I just came to see if there was a fire. Don't be so self-righteous, you old bald ass."

Li Xuan left a word and planned to leave, but Master Shanle flashed and blocked his way.

"Donor Cat, don't leave in such a hurry."

When Li Xuan heard this, his face immediately turned unfriendly.

Master Shanliao's speed was indeed very fast, but not so fast that Li Xuan could not react.

If Master Shanliao dared to display his Tao in the capital, Li Xuan really wanted to see what his Tao was.

But he was sure that Master Shanliao would not do so.

There is no hatred or grudge between the two sides, so there is no need to be so radical.

Moreover, Li Xuan has the support of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the royal family, and Master Shanle is not alone, so he must weigh the impact of this.

The most important thing is that Li Xuan doesn’t think Master Shanliao is a bad person.

When Bilge escaped from prison, he was still concerned about the people in the surrounding towns and cities who were affected.

It is very difficult to pretend so well, especially since Li Xuan's perception is extremely sensitive and he can clearly sense the malicious intent directed at him.

At least, the Master Shanle in front of him did not give him this feeling.

Sure enough, the next moment Master Shanliao regained his smiling expression and performed a Buddhist salute to Li Xuan.

"Yesterday, I thought about it and realized that I was a little rude to the cat donor. I didn't expect to see you again today, so I couldn't help but come out and apologize to the cat donor."

"If you are willing to do me the honor, please come into the temple and let me apologize."

Li Xuan narrowed his eyes, wondering what this old monk was up to, being so rude at first but respectful later.

But Li Xuan was not afraid that the old monk would harm him. After thinking about it, he nodded and agreed.

"Well, I want to see how you, an old bald ass, apologize."

"Uh..." Master Shanliao thought for a moment and humbly asked Li Xuan, "Now that we are making peace, can you, Mr. Cat, be a little more polite to me?"

"After all, Cheng Hai is my junior..."

Li Xuan didn't care about him at all, he just flicked his tail and said, "Let's see how you, old bald donkey, perform."

Li Xuan was sure that he had the old monk in his grasp.

Until yesterday, Master Shan Liao was still very wary of Li Xuan and refused to tell him the truth. However, he changed his attitude overnight and invited Li Xuan in for a negotiation.

People's attitudes don't change without reason. Something must have happened during that night.

Li Xuan felt that it was most likely that they had discovered the things left by Monk Chengche in the little monk's Buddhist beads.

Especially that letter, after reading it, you should be able to reach a level of consistency between the two parties' information.

As an insider, Master Shanliao naturally knows more about the situation in Buddhism than Li Xuan.

Through him, Li Xuan might be able to get more information about Buddhism.

As for other information, it depends on the situation later, and Li Xuan will share it according to the circumstances.

On the short journey into Ci'en Temple, Li Xuan's mind raced.

Li Xuan followed Master Shanliao and came to Master Chenghai's room.

Master Chenghai had been waiting here for a long time, but he looked a little tired. It seemed that he did not sleep well last night.

After the three parties sat down, there was silence in the room for a moment.

Li Xuan was calm and composed, while the two masters didn't know how to start.

Master Chenghai, who was familiar with Master Shanliao, knew that Master Shanliao was thinking, and immediately started talking.

"Ah Xuan, you are here again today?"

Li Xuan nodded to Master Chenghai and wrote straight to the point:

"This old bald donkey said he wanted to apologize to me, so I came in with great reluctance."

Master Chenghai's mouth twitched, and he tried hard to think about sad things and calm himself.

Although the old bald donkey scolded him as well, Master Chenghai didn't mind too much because he knew that Li Xuan was targeting Master Shanliao.

Li Xuan is waiting.

Wait for Master Shanliao to speak first.

For these two Buddhist monks, things really happened suddenly.

Although Monk Chengche had foreseen this before, they had never considered that it would be such a big deal.

Given their position, it would be difficult for anyone who suddenly approached them at this time to gain their trust.

Therefore, Li Xuan must not be impatient. The more impatient he is, the less likely he will gain the trust of these two Buddhist monks.

Although Master Shanliao and Master Chenghai are both monks, as the saying goes, people become more experienced with age. They have seen many ups and downs and have gained quite a bit of wisdom.

They could also guess why Li Xuan was so rude.

But after all, they are not like the two eunuchs of the Imperial Household Department who have been scheming against others all their lives. When they suddenly encounter such a thing, they will inevitably appear a little hesitant.

After all, if they take a wrong step and fail to distinguish between friend and foe, they will be considered half accomplices.

"Cat donor."

After thinking for a long time, Master Shanliao finally spoke.

"I see that you are very intelligent, far beyond ordinary people."

"We just happened to have a difficult problem. Could we ask the cat benefactor for some advice?"

Seeing that Master Shanle had lowered his attitude and started to show his goodwill, Li Xuan couldn't help but smile and thought to himself:

"Hehe, this old monk finally figured it out."

The Imperial Household Department and Buddhism were by no means enemies. At least Emperor Yongyuan had no reason to deal with Buddhism, let alone to start attacking the Fuhu Temple from a distance.

Anyone who has some understanding of the structure of the Daxing Dynasty can judge this.

Li Xuan just wanted Master Shan Liao to figure it out for himself that they were not enemies.

But before that, Li Xuan had to seize the initiative. He immediately stretched out a claw to Master Shan Liao, stopping him from saying anything, and instead used his tail to write:

"No hurry, old bald donkey, answer me a question first."

"How did you find my trace?"

"Is your path special?"

Li Xuan's question made Master Shanliao raise his eyebrows.

"Oh?" "Donor Cat also understands Taoism?"

Master Chenghai standing by also showed a hint of surprise.

Li Xuan just raised his head silently, showing a proud look, but had no intention of answering the question.

The more you talk, the more mistakes you make; it is better to say less.

Seeing Li Xuan's reaction, Master Shan Liao didn't care. He smiled slightly and replied:
"This is actually not a secret. Not only in Buddhism, but also many people in the world know my Tao."

"Senior Ye in the palace is one of them."

Master Shanliao said this, staring at Li Xuan with his eyes hidden by his long snow-white eyebrows.

Li Xuan had a wooden face and didn't give him any response.

But Master Shanliao's next words made Li Xuan unable to hold back and he looked at him in shock.

"Buddhism has six supernatural powers, and I have mastered the telepathy among them."

These words made Li Xuan's heart skip a beat.

In his understanding, the six supernatural powers of Buddhism are mysterious methods.

This is a world where martial arts are practiced. It is impossible for such ability to exist, right?

If Buddhism really had such means, the world would have been unified by Buddhism long ago.

Li Xuan was flustered for a moment, but immediately regained his composure and looked at Master Shanle quietly to see how he would continue.

"Does Donor Cat know what telepathy is?"

Master Shanliao asked Li Xuan with a smile.

Li Xuan shook his head obediently.

After all, he had heard of telepathy, a special ability that could know what other people were thinking.

If Master Shanliao really had this ability...

"Gudong."

Li Xuan couldn't help swallowing when he thought of the nonsense he said yesterday.

But on second thought, he seemed to be lying when he shook his head just now.

This made Li Xuan sweat profusely.

"Telepathy, as the name suggests, means the ability to read other people's minds and understand what they are thinking."

Hearing Master Shan Liao say this, Li Xuan immediately put away his nervousness, wrote with a stern face and asked:
"Since the master is so powerful and can handle difficult tasks for the master, I am afraid that a little cat like me cannot help the master."

Li Xuan is not a fool. If Master Shan Liao downplayed the supernatural power, perhaps he could be convinced. But if he exaggerated it so much, it would just be a joke for the child.

"Hahaha……"

Master Shanliao pointed his finger at Li Xuan and laughed.

"I am just joking with you, don't be so serious, cat donor."

Li Xuan exhaled disdainfully through his mouth, making a "puff" sound, and the meaning was very clear.

But Master Shanliao remained calm and continued to speak seriously: "But my telepathy is similar in meaning."

"It is because of this ability that I can detect the arrival of the cat donor many times."

This sentence made Li Xuan put away his disdainful expression.

Although it is not clear what telepathy is, it is true that Master Shan Liao can detect his own whereabouts.

"I just wonder if this old monk can tell the difference between truth and lies?"

At this moment, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed that he lied yesterday.

If Master Shanliao's supernatural powers include the ability to detect lies, then the fact that they are now having such a hard time communicating with each other and are on guard against each other can be considered as Li Xuan shooting himself in the foot.

Master Shanle is in a situation now. Although he wants to communicate with Li Xuan and get more information, he is still very cautious.

If he could really tell whether Li Xuan's words were true or false, that would be even more troublesome.

If this matter is delayed, it will be disadvantageous to those of them who are in the open. King Zheng is hiding in the dark, and he can advance or retreat as he pleases.

Li Xuan originally wanted to ask Master Shan Liao what his Tao was, but after thinking about it, he gave up and asked:
"So what is the difficulty you are talking about?"

Master Shanliao smiled slightly and took out a letter:
"Don't worry, Mr. Cat. Take a look at this letter first."

Although Li Xuan only saw the envelope, he knew that this was the letter that Monk Chengche had left in the Buddhist beads.

Sure enough, after Li Xuan left, they found the Buddhist beads hanging around the little monk's neck.

Through the things inside, they should have understood the meaning of Monk Chengche's entrusting his son to their care.

Li Xuan pretended nothing had happened, opened the letter and read it carefully.

The letter has not been tampered with and is the original.

It seems that Master Shanliao and Master Chenghai are sincere in communicating with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and are at least willing to show the letter to Li Xuan.

After Li Xuan pretended to be serious, he put the letter aside and asked them:
"What's going on with your Buddhist sect recently?"

"The capital is calm, I'm afraid there's something wrong with the Buddhist sect in Jiangnan Dao, or it could be Chengche's miscalculation."

Master Shanliao looked at Li Xuan and said.

Perhaps knowing that the old monk had some kind of so-called telepathy, Li Xuanyi felt somewhat uncomfortable when he met his gaze.

But Li Xuan also knew very well that the more times like this, the more he had to be justified, after all, he was here to help them.

"I have to take the letter back, show it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then confirm it with Monk Chengche."

"Agree?"

The two masters nodded in unison.

They already knew Li Xuan's position, and they took out the letter so that he could deliver it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The two masters also felt that the Imperial Household Department was a force worth relying on. After all, from the perspective of Emperor Yongyuan, there was no benefit in causing unrest in Daxing.

They cannot see the situation clearly for the time being and can only seek external help based on their own interests.

And inside the Buddhist sect...

Although Master Shanliao had just said with certainty that it was only Jiangnan who had the problem, when Li Xuan sensed outside Ci'en Temple before, he did not detect the aura of other masters except them.

They didn't say it out loud, but I'm afraid they were already worried in their hearts.

Seeing that they started to cooperate, Li Xuan also gave them a good face.

"Monk Chengche's injuries are not light, but he has been recovering steadily. He will probably wake up tomorrow."

"If you are willing, you can apply to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and perhaps you will be able to visit the palace."

"From the letter just now, we know that Monk Chengche's position is still very dangerous. Apart from the Imperial Palace, I'm afraid the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not agree to arrange for him to be placed anywhere else."

Li Xuan's words moved the two monks.

Master Shan Liao said directly: "Then I'd like to trouble Donor Mao to tell Manager Zhao for the two of us. If it's convenient, we'd like to go to the palace to visit Cheng Che tomorrow."

"it is good."

Li Xuan agreed immediately.

He also hoped that the two monks could be present to see Monk Chengche wake up, eliminate the rift between them, and then work together.

Master Shanliao and Master Chenghai, one is a second-grade master and the other is a third-grade master. They will definitely be a great help in dealing with the Western Region Fire Demon in the future.

Moreover, Li Xuan naturally hopes that the Buddhist sect will owe him as much favor as possible.

After all, Fuhu Temple is far away in Jiangnan Road, and they still need help in the capital.

As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor.

Seeing that the matter was finally settled, Li Xuan couldn't help but smile, but in the eyes of the two masters, his smile was really cunning.

The two monks could not help but look at each other helplessly. After all, it was their first time to compete with a cat in wits and courage.
