Emperor Xuanzong was silent for a long time, then raised his eyes to look at Su Wu, his eyes filled with trust: "What do you want, sir?"
"I should first explore the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and then lead all the bad guys to Huashan Mountain to find out the specific situation."
"good!"
…
The saint stayed at the Iron Buddha Temple until near dusk before leaving.
Before that, the news of ‘The Saint’s Happiness to Iron Buddhist Temple’ had spread like wildfire.
Inside the Iron Buddha Temple, there was an atmosphere of endless joy.
Fazhi listened to the whispers of several monks parked at the corner of the corridor. With a smile on his face, he walked into the secluded deep courtyard and opened the door of a Zen room.
In the dim Zen room, a tall young man knelt down behind the desk, and beside him sat a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and a pale complexion.
Fazhi's eyes paused slightly on the white-faced middle-aged man he had never met before. He kept moving. After entering the house, he turned back and closed the door. Then he saluted the tall young man behind the case and bowed down.
Di, known as 'Venerable'.
"Why do you perform this great ceremony?" Su Wuxiao looked at Monk Fazhi and asked.
"Today, the saint came to the Iron Buddha Temple, and the temporary crisis of Buddhism has been solved. From now on, there will be a great situation - and this situation all started because the Venerable stayed at the Iron Buddha Temple.
If it weren't for the honor of the venerable saint, the saint would not cast even one glance at Buddhism.
By performing this great ceremony, I also respond to the wishes of all Buddhist disciples and am deeply grateful to the Venerable!" The big-headed monk Dazhi replied with a respectful expression.
He heard the sage calling Su Wu the 'self-evident national teacher', and became more aware of the sage's status in the country at this time - although he was not famous in the temple, he was in the lineage of various religions.
Among them, it must be the most important one!
Knowing that Su Wu's status is extremely valuable and will become more and more valuable in the future, Fa Zhi and the Buddhist sect behind him will naturally burn the stove to prevent the 'friendship' between the Buddhist sect and the bad handsome man from fading away!
What's more, the bad commander had already helped him a lot with Dharma wisdom and the Chang'an Buddhism behind him. After his contact with Su Wu, he had already admired the bad commander. Now he bowed respectfully without feeling any shyness in his heart.
obstacle.
But Su Wu heard what Fa Zhi said and didn't say anything.
On the other hand, Ji Xingzhou, who was sitting next to him, looked at Fa Zhi, nodded slightly, and said, "Since you know that the bad commander is kind to Buddhism, can you just say thank you in vain like this?"
Fazhi raised his head and glanced at the white-faced middle-aged man. He wondered where the other person's seeming joking and hostility came from. He should have never met this person, but the other person was with him.
Those around him should also be the ones valued by the venerable. Dharma Wisdom didn’t want to criticize him. He just said to Su Wu: “Whenever the venerable is in need, Changan Buddhism will definitely go all out and is willing to contribute to the venerable——
Contribute to the rule of the world without any confusion!"
He had already thought about it clearly - he came to visit Su Wu just to hand over his name!
I am willing to lead Chang'an Buddhism into the hands of a bad commander!
In Fazhi's view, there is a high probability that the future 'leader of Xuanmen City' will be this bad commander. If he leads Changan Buddhist Sect to surrender now, he can win more favor from Su Wu and attract more resources to Buddhism.
!
When Su Wu heard this, he smiled and said, "I do have something that I would like to ask Buddhist disciples for help."
"His Holiness said so directly."
"I would like to display gold and iron armor in front of the statues of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in various Buddhist temples. I hope that the disciples of the Buddha will chant sutras day and night and bless these armors with the power of their vows.
Not sure if that's possible?
In addition, I also want to gather a group of Buddhist disciples among the bad people and merge them into the "Han Gui Gong" department, and ask the Buddhist disciples to use the great vows of their own practice to train the gold and iron armor - this request may be a bit abrupt, but
, This is related to the saint's plan. If this is successful, the names of the Buddhas will be left on those 'armours of extraordinary effectiveness', which will be famous throughout the ages. I don't know if it is possible?" Su Wu directly stated his request, and he finished.
After speaking, he turned his attention to Fa Zhi and waited for Fa Zhi's answer.
Fa Zhi was silent for a moment, and then said: "There are monks who have vowed to achieve enlightenment, and they have been immersed in Buddhism for as little as three to five years, and as many as ten or dozens of years.
These disciples of Buddhism are all the elites of Buddhism today.
As for the first thing that the Venerable said, the disciples can now agree on behalf of the Buddhist temples in Chang'an, but the second thing - in fact, the so-called training of gold and iron armor with the power of great vows, also promptly ordered the disciples of the Buddha to do it.
Worker, make armor?"
Su Wu nodded.
Fazhi looked at Su Wu carefully and asked: "I wonder what kind of armor the Venerable calls the 'armor of extraordinary effectiveness'?"
"This is the armor that confines the evil spirits and subdues the evil forces for human use.
It also regulates the laws of heaven and earth and makes it the armor used by the common people.
The sage calls this armor the ‘strength armor’.” Su Wu said.
"Birth Armor..." Fa Zhi's eyes shone with light, "If this incredible armor could really be created, it would really be able to create countless humans, rule the world, and make Kyushu free from all mysteries... I wonder if this kind of armor has really been researched? Has there been any progress?
How's it going?"
"It's just a little bit of a clue."
In fact, not even the slightest "eyes and features" have been revealed now. However, Su Wu once really saw the stranger, and in the ink painting, he himself does have some eyebrows, but such "eyes and features" have not been revealed in today's reality.
Just come out.
Fazhi lowered his head and clasped his hands together.
He had already made a decision in his mind: "The disciples will lead the Buddhist temples in Chang'an, gather more than 150 monks with strong vows, and worship under the bad commander."
When Su Wu heard Fazhi's decision, his eyes were a little surprised. He looked down at Fazhi, who was also stronger, and asked again: "Monk, you need to think about it.
One hundred and fifty monks is not a small number.
Especially the one hundred and fifty monks with the power of vows."
Such a large number of monks with the power of vows are enough to empty out the foundation of Chang'an Buddhism!
Even if Fa Zhi wants to bet, there is no need to make such a big bet.
"Disciple has thought it through clearly.
At this time, they are ordered to serve under Bad Commander, and study together with Bad Commander to refine the "Shengren Armor". In the future, once the "Shengren Armor" is completed, the Buddha's disciples will also pass it on to future generations, and it will last forever.
This is the best deal." Fazhi looked at Su Wu with a bright light in his eyes, "What's more, if they join the bad commander now, they will definitely be able to practice with the bad commander - this is the original way of returning to the sect. Cultivation will be of greater benefit to them..."
There is something implicit in the Dharma wisdom discourse.
The original foundation of Buddhist practice is in the air, which is the realization of the nature of the Dharma.
What Dharma Wisdom is saying now is as if Su Wu has become the so-called Dharma nature, the so-called "emptiness" itself.
Hearing this, Su Wu pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "If you are willing to support me so strongly, I will definitely repay you."
"Disciple does not expect anything in return." Fazhi shook his head and suddenly asked Su Wu, "I wonder if the Venerable will lead Taoists into bad people in the future?"
"nature.
Bad people open their doors to the world's dharma." Su Wu replied.
"But no matter what, nowadays, Buddhism is always the first to worship His Holiness?"
"yes."
"That's good……"
After that, Fa Zhi stopped in the meditation room for a while and discussed with Su Wu some key points in Buddhist practice. Although Su Wu did not understand Buddhism, he could always draw parallels and give him various insights from unexpected places. Instruct him to come and leave with satisfaction.
