Chapter 554 He Zhenren
One night passed in a flash, and when the first glimmer of light appeared in the sky the next day, a bell rang throughout the Paradise Mountain.
Although the bell rang, it was not harsh and noisy. Instead, it gave people a sense of peace and tranquility. The consciousness that was slightly fuzzy because it had just woken up suddenly became clear and clear.
This is the awakening bell of Huanxi Zen Temple. The ringing of the awakening bell means that a new day has arrived, and it also means that the real person’s banquet is about to begin.
Sure enough, a moment later, two maids knocked on his door. After helping him wash up, they took him to the venue for the real-person banquet - Paradise Cloud Summit.
Yunding is located at the highest point of Ji Le Mountain. It is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. People feel like they are walking in a fairyland on a sea of clouds, hence the name Yunding.
Yunding is also the place where Huanxi Zen Temple has always held major celebrations. It is like a pagoda made of clouds. It is divided into six floors from high to low, with a wide road in the middle.
By the time Ye Qing arrived at Yunding, countless people had arrived, but most people could only stay on the lowest floors, and only a few people on the upper floors.
Genting respects height, which means that the higher you go, the more respected your status is.
In the past, when Huanxi Chanyuan held celebrations, the first floor was usually filled with slaves and maids of Huanxi Chanyuan; the second level was ordinary disciples; the third level was inner courtyard disciples; and the fourth level was direct disciples and middle-level managers of Huanxi Chanyuan.
; The fifth floor is for the heads of each courtyard, guest ministers, Arhats, Dharma protectors, etc.; the sixth floor is for the Bodhisattva of Joy, the Ming King, the Ming Concubine, etc.
The two maids took Ye Qing and walked directly to the upper level of the cloud top under the envious eyes of everyone.
Fortunately, Bodhisattva Huanxi is quite decent and did not place him on the sixth floor, where he would become a target of public criticism. Instead, he was placed on the fifth floor.
Of course, the people on the fifth floor are also some well-known people in Northern Xinjiang, but compared to the sixth floor, they are much inferior and not too eye-catching.
As soon as Ye Qing sat down, a female disciple from Huanxi Zen Temple presented him with wine, fruits, snacks and other items.
Next to him, there were people chatting or saying hello in small groups in twos and threes. Through their conversations, Ye Qing could roughly tell that these people were famous figures from all over the world. Not only were the heads of various sects in the world, but also
There are prodigal knights who travel alone; there are not only well-known and righteous chivalrous people, but also notorious heretics; there are not only Confucian and elegant people, but also people who steal by rats and dogs; and so on.
Jianghu, temples, three religions and nine streams, people of both the righteous and evil spirits gathered together.
Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. Where would these people usually get together? If they meet, if they are not safe, it will be like thunder and lightning, and you will live or die.
It happened that these people gathered together today. Although it was not a happy time, at least they did not fight. At most, they just ignored them. It was still a great scene.
The only pity is that he doesn't know these people, so he has no way to make friends with them.
Time passed slowly, and there were more and more people on the top of the clouds. When the first ray of sunlight fell from the clouds, wisps of colorful, dreamlike halo suddenly appeared on the top of the clouds.
Under the sky, in the halo, various visions slowly emerged. There was a Buddha holding flowers and smiling, a Bodhisattva stepping on a lotus, an Arhat sitting down, auspicious beasts and rare birds flying, and a treasure banner flowing with golden light...
…
All kinds of illusions, like the Buddhist kingdom in heaven.
Everyone stared intently, as if in a state of intoxication.
Obviously, this is the Yunding Buddha Kingdom, one of the three wonders of bliss mentioned by Miaoyin.
Listening to the meaning of Miaoyin, the Yunding Buddha Kingdom will only appear at special times and months. It is something that can be encountered but cannot be sought. I didn't expect to encounter it today.
The Buddha Kingdom on the top of the clouds transforms into all phenomena, and the joyful Bodhisattva descends from the sky.
Ten breaths later, there was a great golden light in the sky, and a huge golden lotus descended from the sky. On top of the golden lotus, the Joyous Bodhisattva sat cross-legged, with the Buddha's light above his head. He held a mutton-fat jade purification bottle in his left hand, and held the Seal of Equality of All Beings in his right hand. His eyes were slightly closed, solemnly.
solemn.
When the golden lotus fell on the top of the clouds, the Bodhisattva of Joy slowly opened his eyes, and all phenomena came and went, and all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhat King Kongs in the Buddha Kingdom actually came down from the Buddha Kingdom in the sky one by one, as if they had turned into reality.
, walked to the Bodhisattva of Joy, prostrated on the ground, bowed with his head down, and bowed to the ground with five limbs.
The Buddhas in heaven descend to the mortal world, and the Bodhisattvas on earth are honored by all the worlds.
Everyone was shocked. The Bodhisattva Huanxi's handiwork was too great. Not only was she bold, but she was also bolder. Not only did she transform all the phenomena in the Buddha's kingdom, she even dared to turn all the Buddhas into reality, kneel on the ground and pay homage to her.
Only the Lord Buddha is qualified to worship the Ten Thousand Buddhas.
The Bodhisattva of Joy made it clear that he was comparing himself to the Lord Buddha, and that the ten thousand Buddhas who paid homage to his sect only attended without kneeling. The Bodhisattva of Joy actually asked ten thousand Buddhas to kneel before him, which clearly meant to blaspheme the ten thousand Buddhas.
If those orthodox Buddhists who worship Buddha and Bodhisattvas as gods knew this, they would be so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
Of course, Huanxi Bodhisattva obviously didn't care about this. After the ten thousand Buddhas had paid their respects, Huanxi Bodhisattva stretched out his palms, and the ten thousand Buddhas who were kneeling on the ground rose up, slowly shrunk, and landed on the palm of Huanxi Bodhisattva's hand.
The fingers of the Bodhisattva of Joy are curled up, as if all the Buddhas are in my hands.
"Dangdangdang..."
At the same time, three bells rang one after another, all the visions disappeared, and a man and a woman appeared next to the Bodhisattva Joy.
Ye Qing didn't recognize the male, but Wu Fan was familiar with the female.
"Welcome all distinguished guests to Huanxi Chanyuan to celebrate the achievement of our Bodhisattva as a real person. The real person banquet begins now."
Wufan opened his mouth. Although his voice was not high, everyone could hear him clearly.
"Master He..."
When the three words "Congratulations to the real person" sounded, fairy music floated up and down Mount Bliss, like a dream.
Congratulations to the real person is the first step in the real person's banquet. In short, the people participating in the real person's banquet report their families to celebrate the joyful Bodhisattva.
To put it bluntly, it is an opportunity to highlight the status of both parties.
After all, the more people come and the more powerful they are, the more face Bodhisattva Huanxi will naturally gain.
Correspondingly, I have come all the way here, so I have to give them a chance to show my face and show some respect.
Therefore, although Mr. He is not interesting, it is very necessary.
"The elder who holds the sword in Sword King City presents a handle of the unpredictable weapon Piaoxue Sword, a piece of Wanhua Spirit Jade, and a Buddha bone relic, to wish the Bodhisattva good luck on behalf of Sword King City."
Immediately, a man in his fifties with a slender appearance stood up, cupped his hands and said.
"Thank you for the King's City." Huanxi Bodhisattva replied: "Please sit down."
Sword King City is considered the largest sect in the North, while Huanxi Chanyuan can only be considered second-rate. Therefore, even though Sword King City only sent one sword-wielding elder, it was still a favor to Huanxi Chanyuan.
The gifts brought by Sword King City are quite rich. Forget about the Impermanence Artifact, the Wanhua Lingyu is a rare treasure of heaven and earth, which can be used to set up formations, practice, refine weapons, etc., and has various wonderful uses.
Not to mention the Buddha bone relics, which can only be formed after eminent Buddhist monks have sat down and passed away, and they also have many wonderful uses.
Behind Sword King City, a charming woman in her thirties, wearing a fiery red dress, stood up.
"The envoy of the Suzaku from the Earth Fire Demon Palace presents a fire fan, a piece of red fire spiritual crystal, and a bottle of Taihua Infinite Liquid, a piece of impermanent artefact, to wish the Bodhisattva good luck on behalf of the Earth Fire Demon Palace."
The Earth Fire Demon Palace is the number one demon sect in the North, not inferior to Sword King City, so it also sent an envoy. Of course, the status of the Suzaku Envoy in the Earth Fire Demon Palace is not low, second only to the Palace Master of the Earth Fire Demon Palace.
, Deputy Palace Master, etc.
The gifts brought by the Suzaku Messenger are not much different in value from the gifts from Sword King City.
"Thank you for the Fire Demon Palace." Huanxi Bodhisattva said: "Please sit down."
After Zhuque sat down, a tall, burly and imposing man stood up.
