Hearing what the old monk said, the two monks opposite were stunned, but then they nodded in agreement.
"Please obey the Lord's will!"
The old monk nodded slightly and stood up immediately.
In an instant, layers of phantoms of Buddha were peeled off from his body, and then they stepped into the air one by one, sitting cross-legged in the air. Golden lotuses bloomed under the phantoms of many Buddhas.
These Buddhas are tall or short, fat or thin. Although their body outlines and faces are still blurry, we can roughly judge their different temperaments, some are compassionate, some are compassionate, some are indifferent, and some are miserable...
Looking back at the shadows of the Buddha, the old monk sighed: "The foundation of the Buddha in China has begun to take shape, but many of it is not clear enough. We still need to continue to compile classics and recite the Buddha's name, so that we can truly establish and shape the Buddha here."
The Buddha’s Kingdom on earth! It’s a pity that even if Lao Na sits here, he can only condense the shadows of the Seven Buddhas..."
The two monks across from each other looked at each other, and then the one who spoke before said: "Although the Southern Dynasty is in confrontation with the North, the land of Shu is now occupied by the Zhou Kingdom, and the people further south are uncivilized, so the population of the Southern Kingdom
, compared to the north, it is much inferior. Most of them are concentrated in the Jiangzuo area. It is not easy to depict the seven Buddhas."
"That's the truth." The old monk nodded and walked down the high platform, "I will come back as soon as I go. I won't delay for too long. In the meantime, it's up to you two to stay here and keep the formation running!
"
The two returning monks nodded in agreement and watched the old monk leave step by step.
Although the old monk looked senile, his steps were steady. He arrived at the front hall in a hurry and met the imperial envoy who had been ordered to come.
When the envoy saw the old monk, he was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face. Then he walked quickly, bowed respectfully, and said, "I have met Master Tanxun."
Immediately, he raised his head slightly and asked cautiously: "Master, is he here to arrange manpower?"
"There is no need to arrange manpower," the old monk Tan Xun opened his eyes slightly, "Since there are evil spirits in the city, and His Majesty has ordered you to come over, we, the Buddhist sect, should go all out."
"The master actually wants to take action himself!" The envoy was startled and said quickly: "How can you bother the master to take action on this...such a thing? You came south this time to spread the wonderful words of Buddhism. This is to conquer demons and ward off demons."
How can...'
"Your Majesty is sincere, and I will naturally repay you with sincerity!"
"Then please wait a moment, master. I will go back and report to the emperor right away..."
"No need to go to such trouble," the old monk interrupted him directly, raising his skinny old hand, "You just need to hand over His Majesty's order to me, and that's all."
After speaking, he saw that the messenger was still hesitating, so he said: "The evil spirits are here to disturb the world, so we can't wait." His voice was not loud, but it had a strange charm.
After hearing this, the official's eyes were blurred for a while, and then he handed over an orange token in a daze.
The token has complex patterns and seems to be made of brass.
The old monk held it and exerted slight pressure on his fingers, and the Buddha's light infected the token.
Boom!
Suddenly a burst of thunder flashed across the sky, scattering a lot of purple energy!
The old monk nodded and smiled, waved his sleeves, and his figure disappeared!
As soon as this person left, the messenger suddenly came back to his senses and left quickly.
the other side.
The Buddha's light boiling over the entire city gradually showed signs of disappearing, but there was no peace in the city.
After arranging for people to invite Buddhist masters, Chen Xu was not idle. He issued another order and mobilized Jiankang soldiers and horses to clear and surround the streets in front and behind Fulin Tower.
At this time, not to mention ordinary people, even those martial arts people who climbed over the walls were blocked and difficult to approach.
However, there is no need to deliberately drive him away. After the physical body of Fa Wan Monk collapsed, everyone present was frightened when they saw the surging Buddha's light coming towards them. Most of them had already turned around and fled. Now when the soldiers came, the weapons in their hands were so bright.
, in the flash of cold light, the rest left wisely.
However, whether they were those who were scared away before or those who left later, even the soldiers responsible for maintaining order had anger and hatred on their faces.
I hate the person who hurt the Buddha!
"Everyone in the world is suffering, and Buddhist compassion is like a guiding light. That person actually harmed the life of an eminent monk. He must be an evil spirit! How abominable!"
"That's right! Although we have never met the Master Fawan, don't know him, and have never heard of him, but since the master is from Buddhism, he must be clean, compassionate, generous and righteous, and will not be like those who practice martial arts.
He was so brave and ruthless, but such a good man died at Xiao Xiao’s hands! It’s really heartbreaking!”
"I hate it! I hate that I am not good at it, otherwise I must avenge the master! Kill the evil demon under his horse!"
…
The discussion spread among the soldiers, and the hatred and anger gradually condensed.
"What a strong thought!"
On the roof, Lu Shou sat in a lotus position with his long sword across his knees. His eyes were fixed on Fulin Tower, but his ears were searching for sounds from all directions, and he naturally picked up all the words of the people around him.
So, he couldn't help but said: "When did the prestige of the ascetics reach such a level? Listening to the words of these soldiers, my admiration and respect for Buddhism is even greater than my thoughts for your majesty!"
"What's so strange about this!" Beside, Yufang had a look of suspicion on her face, "Buddhism is exquisite and its aspirations are great. It is also a good way to manage the world and benefit the people. It can calm people's hearts and stabilize the world. No one can disrespect it.
?”
"Huh?" Lu Shou's heart skipped a beat when he heard these words. He looked at the serious expression on Yufang's beautiful face and couldn't help but said in surprise, "I came back from Huaidi with you earlier, and we met along the way.
After visiting those temples, you complained that there were too many ascetics, why..."
Yufang looked ashamed and said: "I didn't know much about the holy way of Buddhism at that time, but now I suddenly understand it."
"Suddenly...enlightenment?"
Looking at Yufang's suddenly noble face, Lu Shooyi felt horrified. Just at this time, two first-level monks came over to ask them how to arrange the arrangement, so he ended the topic and changed the subject.
And he gave instructions: "Let our people spread out and just stay on guard at the edges. We cannot get involved in the battle at the level of the Immortal Realm. Our mission is to grasp the situation on the battlefield and report it in time!"
Yufang said: "This man's crime of killing an eminent monk is extremely heinous. He will definitely attract Buddhist masters. This is a situation where there is no life or death. We only need to watch from the side!"
After Lu Shou heard this, he sighed and said: "The Buddhists are fighting with others. Let's just sit back and watch. Don't take the position in advance. Although the prince of Nankang is in the hands of that person, judging from the current news
Look, that person didn’t mean to do harm. If the situation goes bad, you can still..."
Before he finished speaking, his heart suddenly shook, and then an indescribable feeling arose in his heart!
silence!
All around, suddenly there was silence!
Yufang and others showed reverence on their faces, and even clasped their hands involuntarily.
When Lu Shou saw this, his heart trembled, and he looked around again.
But I saw that the surrounding streets were filled with a faint golden mist at some point.
The sound of gentle footsteps came from far away, and an old monk came walking through the mist!
In an instant, the figure of the old monk was engraved in Lu Shooyi's heart, and then expanded rapidly, occupying his entire mind in the blink of an eye!
Lu Shooyi had a look of struggle on his face, but in the end he slowly clasped his hands together, and like Yufang and others, there was a look of longing in his eyes.
boom!
Suddenly, the clouds in the sky exploded, and a stream of purple energy fell like a shooting star, pointing directly at the old monk!
The old monk shook his head slightly.
"Your Majesty is a person from the past and will be converted in the future. Why should you be persistent?"
After saying that, he raised his hand and pointed upward!
Boom!
In an instant, all the people of Jiankang gathered together and gathered their Buddha-nature, turning into a Buddha. They unfolded the illusory cassock and turned it into a barrier, covering the entire Fulin Tower!
