Li Chen was stunned for a moment, and then said doubtfully: "Elder Chu Feng, please elaborate."
Elder Chu Feng sighed: "The Infinite Seal Dharma is the sacred scripture of our Buddhist sect. Now that the sacred scripture is incomplete, it is not what my Vajra Temple wants."
"Lao Na is determined to complete this method so that the inheritance can continue."
Li Chen nodded: "What the elders think is understandable. Completing the sealing method should be a meritorious deed."
"But……"
"Five years ago, I went to Daleiyin Temple and mentioned this matter.
As a result, the Leiyin Buddhist disciple of the Great Leiyin Temple denied that there was a ‘mindless mind’ in the temple.”
"At that time, I just said that I guessed wrong, but when I left angrily, Leiyin Buddha said a verse from the Agama Sutra, which was quite intriguing."
"This exists because of that. This exists because of that. This arises because of that. There is no cause for this because that doesn't exist. This disappears because of that."
Li Chen frowned when he heard the words. The meaning of this verse is actually to explain the dependence between all things.
But at that time Leiyin Buddha suddenly said this, obviously he had other intentions.
Elder Chu Feng said leisurely: "I thought about it at that time and guessed that what Lei Yin Buddha was referring to must be the two mythical beast teeth that record the "Infinite Seal"."
"So we made an agreement with Leiyin Buddha that the two temples would exchange animal teeth every three years."
"Unexpectedly, Lei Yin Buddha shook his head and smiled without saying a word."
"I was confused at the time, but now that I think about it carefully, I realize that what the other party wants may not be the animal's teeth."
"Isn't it a beast's tooth?" Li Chen asked.
Elder Anfeng nodded: "Master Lichen may not know much about this Leiyin Buddhist disciple of the Great Leiyin Temple."
"As we all know, a Buddhist disciple is the core disciple of a temple, or the successor of the abbot."
"Every Buddhist disciple must be in harmony with the temple's inheritance, uphold the wishes of his ancestors, and have the ambition to succeed."
"So it is extremely difficult for every temple to cultivate a Buddhist disciple."
"Just like the Vajra Temple, in the past hundred years, not a single disciple has the potential to become a disciple of the Buddha."
"I am too casual, too persistent in my thoughts, and too mediocre in my single-mindedness. I am afraid that a qualified Buddhist disciple may not be born in another hundred years."
"It also took Daguangming Temple nearly four hundred years to meet a Buddhist who was born with clairvoyance."
"And the Sasho Temple was closed for two hundred years, and a further hundred years, it took three hundred years for a Sasho Buddhist like you to be born. This is already considered lucky enough."
"But there is no doubt that the Buddha in every temple carries the endless hope and future of the temple."
"And the Great Leiyin Temple found an ambitious Leiyin Buddhist disciple."
"As soon as this Leiyin Buddhist disciple was established, he put forward the slogan 'Buddhism in the world is one family'."
"'The Buddhist family in the world'?" Li Chen frowned.
"Buddhism in the world is one family", this sounds nice, but the ambition is really not small.
On the surface, there is a great unity of Buddhism, but in fact, there are signs of a dominant family.
"I'm afraid this Leiyin Buddhist disciple is a bit too whimsical."
Elder Nuifeng nodded slightly, his pair of snowy eyebrows trembled slightly, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes: "Since monk Fu Kong triggered the 'Great Reincarnation Tribulation' thousands of years ago, the Reincarnation Temple, the holy land of Buddhism in the world, was destroyed overnight."
"Although this incident is a calamity for my Buddhist sect, it has also caused my Buddhist scriptures to spread to thousands of families, which can be regarded as spreading."
"But what this Leiyin Buddha said is to bring all Buddhist schools in the world under the great Leiyin Temple and make thousands of temples surrender."
"snort!"
"Want to recreate the appearance of the holy land of Samsara Temple?"
"The Great Leiyin Temple is not the Samsara Temple, and the Leiyin Buddha is not the Samsara Buddha either."
Elder Nuifeng smiled coldly, obviously scornful of this Leiyin Buddhist disciple.
Lichen understood what he said, so he changed his mind and said, "Buddhism in the world is full of hundreds of schools of thought. It is precisely because each has its own strengths that we can understand the wonders of the Buddhist scriptures."
"If they all fall under the Great Leiyin Temple, a leaf will blind them, which may not be a good thing."
"This Leiyin Buddhist disciple is quite charming."
Li Chen said it was 'attachment', but in fact he felt that Leiyin Buddha had violated the 'greedy precept'.
Elder Chu Feng sighed: "The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant."
"I'm afraid this Leiyin Buddha's plot doesn't stop there."
"Does Master Lichen know his identity before becoming a monk?"
"What was your identity before becoming a monk?"
Li Chen shook his head: "Please ask the elders to clarify my doubts."
Elder Nifeng looked serious and said in a deep voice: "This Leiyin Buddha is the eighth son of today's Emperor!"
"Prince?!!"
Li Chen was also surprised. He didn't expect that the prince of Zhou Dynasty would give up his country and instead come to the Western Regions to become a monk.
"Eighth Prince?"
Li Chen frowned and suddenly asked: "Could the Eighth Prince be the flesh and blood of that 'Ling Fei'?"
‘Lingfei’ was one of the concubines conferred by Emperor Zhou. She was once so favored by the Holy Emperor that Emperor Zhou once wanted to make her his queen.
But just twenty years ago, for some unknown reason, this concubine was suddenly thrown into the cold palace by Emperor Zhou and was not allowed to take a single step in her life.
Seeing that he had made a guess, Elder Chu Feng nodded appreciatively: This life-killing Buddhist disciple is indeed as legendary as he is, with an agile mind and transcendent wisdom.
"Yes, Lei Yinfuzi is the flesh and blood of that 'Ling Fei'."
If Lei Yin Buddha is the flesh and blood of this spiritual concubine, then everything makes sense.
If there is no backing in the palace, then this is the most dangerous place in the world.
From this point of view, it can be regarded as a wonderful move for the eighth prince to abandon his beauty and choose to stay away from the palace and become a monk at Daleiyin Temple.
Not only can he save his life, but he can also become a Buddhist leader and constrain the court from the side.
"Does he want to unify Buddhism and has other plans or...?"
Li Chen murmured softly and subconsciously raised his eyes, just in time to meet Elder Nuifeng's eyes.
Although Elder Chu Feng's eyes looked unusually calm, there seemed to be deep worry hidden beneath the calmness.
It seems that he has already had this concern.
Since Lei Yin Buddha dared to say that "Buddhism in the world is one family", it means that there must be someone behind him.
And it is very possible that this matter is related to the Zhou Dynasty court. No matter how you think about it, it is extremely implicated.
Li Chen took a deep breath, shook off the random thoughts in his mind, and asked: "In that case, where can the young monk help the elder?"
After Elder Chu Feng pondered for a moment, he pronounced the Buddha's name: "Amitabha."
"If Lao Monk's prediction is correct, Lei Yin Buddha will definitely use this 'Auspicious Dharma Assembly' to realize his ambition and revenge.
So I hope that Master Lichen can dampen the spirit of Leiyin Buddha."
"If there is a chance, please ask Master Lichen to mediate the exchange of the "Infinite Seal"."
