Chapter 76 Buddha Bone Relic
Relics are the same as the Taoist Golden Elixir, but there are differences. However, according to public perception, as long as a Taoist monk has mastered the Relics, he will have the same status as a golden elixir monk.
Perhaps these eminent monks do not know magic and cannot conquer demons, but because of the relics, they are more or less supernatural.
The immortal spirit pondered and said: "He is definitely not some reincarnated Bodhisattva or the Buddha who was entrusted with birth. This relic was not cultivated by himself, but was left behind by other eminent monks after they passed away."
There are 480 Buddhist temples in China, all of which have relics to suppress the luck of the Buddhist temples.
Yangzhou City is the capital of one of the nine states in China. It is not only the center of Xuandu Palace, but also the place where the Buddhist power is stationed. Outside Yangzhou City, there are three temples of different sizes.
"Could it be that he took out the relics from those three temples?"
"What did a young monk do with the relics?" Ren Hong said: "I am more inclined to believe that he came from other places to escort the relics to the Three Temples."
At this time, a group of monks hurriedly came to the restaurant.
The leading middle-aged monk put his palms together in salute to the young monk and asked him to leave with him and others.
The little monk looked hesitant and was not ready to go together, but another group of monks came.
"White Dragon Temple, Jade Buddha Temple, Red Lotus Temple. Now there is only one Red Lotus Temple left."
At the bottom of the restaurant, everyone was watching the fun. Some people were gloating about the misfortune, and then they saw the great monk of Honglian Temple coming with five or six big men.
The monks from the three temples surrounded the young monk and asked him to go with them.
"Sure enough, Ren Hong, you guessed it right. The relics of this young monk were left behind by an eminent monk from other places. I am afraid that the people from these three temples are trying to seize the relics and want to invite this young monk from Yeluzi to join their own temple."
Facing the smiling faces of the three parties, the young monk was at a loss and looked back and forth, not knowing who to follow.
The great monk Zhike of Honglian Temple said: "Junior brother, you and I both came from the Vajra Dharma lineage. Since my uncle has passed away, you should follow me back to Honglian Temple to practice."
The head of the Jade Buddha Temple next to him recited the Buddha's name: "This is wrong. Junior Brother Tongyuan carries my Buddha's relics and should enter our Jade Buddha Temple to pass on the wonderful truths of my Buddha."
When the people from Bailong Temple heard this, they couldn't sit still and immediately started to refute.
But their words fell into the ears of Ren Hong and Jun Tianxianling. They were shocked and blurted out: "Buddha bone relics?"
Regarding the "Buddha bone relics", this involves a public case about the spread of Buddhism to the East in the past.
In the past, there were great virtuous scholars from the West who went to the Middle East to teach the Dharma. However, they were blocked by the Kunlun Sect. They discussed the Tao under the Kunlun Mountains for three years, and it was difficult for both sides to win or lose.
Later, Biyou Palace and Xuandu Palace joined in and joined forces to prevent the spread of Buddhism eastward.
At that time, the previous master of Biyou Palace had not yet ascended to the throne. He was a murderous old man, and because he was tired of the Western escape from Zen, he simply used his fairy sword to behead the Western Buddha.
The Buddha passed away with a smile on his face, leaving behind eight hundred relics scattered into China, using his own death to establish the Taoist lineage.
These eight hundred relics are Buddha bone relics. Each Buddha bone relic contains a Buddhist energy and is inherited by Buddhist secrets.
"Buddha's bone relic?" Ren Hong showed a meaningful expression.
This is also the tacit understanding of Sanqing Taoism. Although Buddhism is also the right way, everyone nominally recognizes Buddhism’s teachings. But privately...
If the Taoist Immortal Family "accidentally" encounters the Buddha's relics, and then "accidentally" loses them to volcanoes, devil's caves, and other messy places. As a result, the Buddha's relics are destroyed. I believe that the Buddha is magnanimous and will not blame him.
An "unintentional mistake" by some little immortal monks, right?
Of course, some Taoist monks study the Buddha's bone relics out of curiosity, and can also get a lot of secret inheritance from them. Many of the 480 Buddhist temples were established by Taoist monks after they also practiced Buddhism.
For example, several Taoist monarchs on Kunlun Mountain were closest to the Buddha's enthronement and obtained many Buddha bone relics. This indirectly contributed to the emergence of the four-line Buddhist lineage in Kunlun.
The fairy hurriedly said: "Ren Hong, you must not have the idea of Buddha's bone relics. The master in the Buddhist sect was a master who was not inferior to me. He was good at the law of fate and cause and effect. If you touch the Buddha's bone relics,
I’m afraid it’s hard to escape the Buddha Sect’s plot.”
In particular, the four senior brothers and sisters of Ren Hong were all tricked and went to study Buddhism. If Ren Hong also had his mind set on understanding the Buddhist heritage, how could he still be the successor of the Kunlun Yuqing lineage?
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm measured." Ren Hong looked at the situation below.
After all, the three parties had some scruples. There was a large group of people surrounding them and they did not want to fight each other. They just treated each other nicely and persuaded the young monk to follow them voluntarily.
"If this commotion continues, I'm afraid I won't need to take action. Xuandu Palace will take care of it, right?"
Xuandu Palace is stationed in nine palaces in the human world, and Yangzhou Palace is one of them. There is a Taoist Lord from Xuandu Palace who is distracted here. If the trouble really gets bigger, he will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it.
Plop
Just when Ren Hong made up his mind to sit back and watch the show, suddenly a golden light came from a big tree outside the window and fell directly into Ren Hong's tea cup.
Taking a closer look, there is a gemstone the size of a fingernail in the tea cup. It is completely green and can transmit no light.
"This is..." Ren Hong was startled, and out of the corner of his eye he saw that the golden light in the Fuli bronze mirror had overlapped with the purple light that symbolized himself.
Could it be that……
"Ren Hong, this is the Buddha's bone relic!" The fairy said in panic: "Someone wants to frame us!"
I
Ren Hong almost cursed and quickly put away his magic weapon and prepared to leave.
The Buddhist sect is competing for the Buddha's bone relics. Although he is gloating about the misfortune and plans to destroy it secretly, he is not someone who would have others brought to him and help others be blamed!
Summoning the divine beast Gouchen, Ren Hong put down his silver coins and prepared to run away.
But before leaving, he stared at the relic in the tea cup.
Actually...it doesn't matter if you take a look and study it for yourself, right? With your Taoist heart, can a mere relic be assimilated to you?
After hesitation, Ren Hong carefully poked the tea cup with his chopsticks.
The teacup was gently swayed, and the Buddha's light rippled in the half-cup of tea, and the four Sanskrit words "Vajra King's Finger" appeared.
Ren Hong couldn't read Sanskrit, but the immortals understood this foreign language. He was surprised and said: "Vajra King Finger? It is said that the first fingering method of Buddhism?"
Seeing the vision, Ren Hong decisively stopped his action and hurriedly drove Gou Chen to escape.
On the way, he couldn't help but ask: "How does it compare to my "Tian Yuan Sword Finger Technique"?"
"How do I know? This is the first time I have seen this finger technique of yours, and the Vajra King Finger is also rumored. However, in the legend, although the Vajra King Finger is a fingering technique, it also has the mystery of transforming into a vajra and cultivating the realm of Buddha.
.”
Ren Hong escaped because of the sudden arrival of Buddha bone relics. Not long after he left, a handsome man named Shi Shiran came to the place where Ren Hong was sitting.
"So he is also a fellow Taoist?" He looked at the relics in the tea cup, swept them away with his sleeves, and put them into his pocket.
"Let our Xuandu Palace take this relic away."
But in an instant, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. He took the relic in his hand, looked at it carefully for a while, then squeezed it gently, and the Buddha bone relic shattered on the spot.
The dregs were scattered all over the ground, and half of the scroll recording the first level of the "Vajra King's Finger" was automatically destroyed.
"Fake?" The man looked downstairs again. The young monk was surrounded by three parties of people. Is there anyone else there at this moment?
"No, I was fooled! That guy deliberately used the Buddha's bone relics to lure away people from the three temples. He has already gone to the Temple of the Emerald Buddha at this moment."
Without saying a word, the man rushed to the Temple of the Emerald Buddha.
But outside the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, a group of monks looked panicked.
In the sky, the brilliant starlight formed a line of large characters: "The hand of the Jade Buddha has been received and will be returned in three months." You can remember this plot. The incident at the Jade Buddha Temple will be described in detail in the Star Demon episode. In the past two days, we have started to travel across the country to wrap up.
