Naha climbed down from the tallest stone tower. A little girl with designs on her face, hands, and arms opened her arms, wanting to protect the dangerous Naha girl.
Xiao Yuhua stood in the distance and watched with envy. He really hoped that he could replace the little girl with patterns all over her body to protect Naha.
Unfortunately, Naha always ordered him to stay away.
Naha used to like playing with Xiao Yuhua and Afanti, but the problem was Xiao Yuhua's eyes. As long as his eyes fell on Naha, it was like they were glued to them, and they couldn't pull them away.
When the last level of the pagoda was left, Naha jumped down from it, put her hand on little Dolma's shoulder, and smiled happily.
This pagoda is the spiritual bone tower of Master Bai Riseng. It has seven levels. After the bones of Master Bai Riseng were incinerated, they were placed in this spiritual bone pagoda together with the relics. It is considered the first in Naha's Buddhist world.
A spiritual bone tower.
Today, Naha actually climbed up to take a peek at the relics of Master Suneng.
As a result, nothing was seen.
Master Lotus said that if he passed away, he would like to be buried here.
The scenery of this place is excellent. Behind it are the majestic snow-capped mountains. Next to it is the snow-water river produced by the melting snow of the snow-capped mountains. At the foot of the mountain is a lush pine forest. There is also a big white birch forest in the distance. If you include the unobstructed view of the wild grassland,
Go inside and it will be a rich and over-the-top painting.
Naha took Little Dolma's hand and left the Spirit Bone Tower. This time, she didn't see any relics. She will always see them in the future. Eminent monks like Master Fa Hua are said to be rich in relics. You can pick out a good-looking one then.
Keep it for future generations.
Naha's Buddhist Kingdom is built on a gentle slope, with a tall rooftop at the highest point. So far, this rooftop made of a mixture of rocks and schist has just been completed.
According to Lotus Master, the height of this rooftop must be at least nine feet high, and a Xumizuo will be built on the rooftop, which will enshrine Sakyamuni and his sidekick Buddha.
At the feet of Sakyamuni Buddha stands a huge white lotus seat, which is carved from a huge piece of Kunlun white jade. Two of the craftsmen who carved this white lotus seat have died.
And the tall statue of Sakyamuni Buddha will be erected in ten days, which is three feet high.
After the statue of Sakyamuni stands up, behind it are the blue sky, snow-capped mountains and blue lakes.
After Naha took Dolma to play on the palm of the Buddha statue for a while, she returned to the temple under the high platform.
The overall color of the temple is red and yellow. Red is ocher and yellow is earthy yellow. These two pigments are taken from red and yellow stones. They are smashed and mixed with rice slurry soil to build walls and temples.
wall.
Two little girls, one big and one small, hurriedly walked through the long gravel-paved corridor, jumped over the one-foot-high threshold, and got into this magnificent building complex.
If you continue to extend your gaze downward, you can see that a lively town has appeared in the valley below the temple.
Xiao Yuhua could not enter the temple, so she lingered at the door for a moment, then went to the small town at the foot of the mountain with her head hanging down.
Master Fahua stood inside the mountain gate, behind him was a tall screen wall with a huge Buddhist character written on it.
He was twisting a string of Bodhi beads in his left hand and clasped his right hand behind his back. When he saw Naha and Dolma passing by in a hurry, he sighed and said, "Sit like a bell, stand like a pine..."
Naha immediately slowed down her steps, raised her head high, stared at the sky with her beautiful eyes, and took small steps. Because her skirt covered her feet, she felt like she was floating on the water. It was very strange.
nice.
After passing through the Ming Sutra Hall, Naha's tall figure immediately became slouched. The smart Dolma looked back nervously, but did not see Master Fahua, and then slumped down and whispered to Naha, "Master, look
not see"
Naha said lazily, "I know. He can't be seen when he turns the corner. He keeps a straight face all day long, as if he owes him 800 yuan."
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately imitated Lotus Master with a straight face and said, "Sit like a bell, stand like a pine, walk like the wind, lie down like a bow..."
Dolma wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare. She always thought that the gods and Buddhas were watching the two of them from the sky.
The sound of Sanskrit singing in the Ming Sutra Hall came from behind. This was the time for Master Jueming and his companions to chant sutras. After they had recited the sutras three times, it was time for lunch.
Master Lotus originally wanted to abide by the rule of not eating after lunch, but after being seriously opposed by Naha, he made an exception and asked the people in the Buddhist country to keep the eating rhythm of Chang'an people, three meals a day.
Selema was sitting in the sun spinning wool, and Afanti was sitting at Selema's feet, helping Selema spin the wool, and quietly giving Selema suggestions for governing the Serbs.
Naha didn't want to face these two self-proclaimed Cypriot chiefs and ministers, so she dragged Dolma and sneaked away from the corridor on the left to the backyard.
There, the smell of food can already be heard.
When Naha and Dolma returned to the sunny area of the back hall of the Buddhist Kingdom, each of them was holding a fried and fragrant fish.
The Tubo people did not eat fish. After eating Dolma once, he fell in love with it. After taking a bite at the place with the most fish, he closed his eyes happily.
Perhaps the fish fried by the cook was particularly delicious today, so Dolma gratefully said to Naha, "Naha, when I grow up, you can peel off my skin."
Naha angrily patted Dolma on the head with her oil-stained hands and said, "You're not a good person. You have to be a drum. If you say anything else, I'll beat you to death and bury you."
Zhuoma winced and said resentfully, "My skin is very beautiful. Making a drum will definitely increase your mana. It would be a pity to bury it."
Naha looked at Dolma helplessly and said, "Well, when you die of old age, I will skin you again and use your bones as drumsticks."
Zhuoma stared with big eyes and said with regret, "The skin will not look good by then."
Naha stuffed the fish head into Dolma's mouth, stuffed her mouth wide, and then roared, "Let your skin grow on you. If anyone dares to skin you, I will skin him."
skin
Wen Wen walked in from outside, looked at the two little girls sitting on the threshold of the Buddhist hall, eating fish, put her hands together, saluted the Buddha statue in the Buddhist hall and said, "I, the Buddha, are merciful, please forgive these two ignorant children."
"
Naha curled her lips and said, "I am the daughter of Buddha. Buddha will not blame me. Besides, only when you are full can you have the strength to worship Buddha."
Wen Wen nodded and said, "What you said makes perfect sense."
Then he also went to the kitchen to get a fried fish, and sat down side by side with Naha and Dolma to eat the fish together.
After eating the fish, she gently wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, wiped her hands and said to Naha, "I never thought that Lord Monkey would leave you such a large family property in this remote place in the mountains."
Naha raised her head, her mouth was shiny. Dolma immediately took out a handkerchief to wipe Naha's mouth and hands.
"The elder of Guiduyuan paved the ground with gold bricks, and then invited the Buddha to preach the Dharma, and then made his Guiduyuan a sacred place for Buddhism. Think of a way, the temple here has been built, and the statue of Buddha will be erected soon.
When we get up, wouldn’t it be bad if not many people come to worship?”
He nodded softly and said, "What you said makes sense. If such a large Buddhist country and such a high statue cannot be benefited by the common people and worshiped by hundreds of millions of people, all the hard work of the Monkey King will be in vain.
However, this place is remote and has a small population, so it still needs to be developed slowly. Only when the towns at the foot of the mountains become prosperous and become the capital of the Western Region can your Buddhist country flourish."
Naha scratched her chin and said, "Is there a faster way? I can't wait to become more prosperous tomorrow."
He smiled softly and said, "I, the Buddha, are compassionate. If you are willing to release the 20,000 slaves who built this Buddhist kingdom and become good men, I believe that your Buddhist kingdom will be prosperous, if not prosperous."
Naha smiled and said, "I will not only relieve them of their status as slaves, but also give them land, cattle and sheep, and recruit agricultural doctors from the Tang Dynasty to teach them how to grow highland barley here."
Wenwen looked at Naha for a while, sighed, clasped her hands together and said "Naha, have mercy"
The gentleness of Naha's words just now was not very good. He used to think that Naha was just a puppet pushed out by Buddhism, and she didn't know how to run a Buddhist country.
After listening to what Naha said just now, he suddenly realized that Naha was actually a very smart child.
She does not need to be smart, let alone capable, as long as she has a kind heart, it is enough.
The most important quality in Buddhism is nothing but kindness, as long as one can measure the world with a compassionate heart.
Even if this Buddhist kingdom is abandoned, ruined, and buried in weeds, it doesn't matter, because her Buddhist kingdom has moved from the human world to people's hearts.
It has become another more advanced Buddhist country.
Wenwen wants to liberate these slaves, not out of the nature of liberating slaves, but from the perspective of local development.
If there are too many slaves in a place, it will not be of any benefit to the development of the place.
If a person is exploited to the point where it cannot be exploited, then rebound is inevitable, and the same is true for a group. The more severely they are exploited, the greater the harm they will suffer in the future.
If Naha really frees these slaves to become free citizens and allows them to own land and property, it doesn't take much to think about it. These people will definitely become the most loyal subjects of Naha's country.
As for the suffering and death they suffered in the process of building this Buddhist kingdom, they can be resolved using Buddhism. It depends on how you describe the two sides of one thing.
Cruel exploitation can be transformed into devout faith, and tragic death can be transformed into heroic sacrifice. This is not difficult at all for Buddhism.
In order to make sure that Naha could do this, Rouwen asked, "You gave up so many slaves, is there really nothing wrong with you?"
Naha said proudly, "What belongs to Mr. Monkey is mine. Master Xuanzang said that as long as it is an idea that I have thought carefully about, I can implement it. The old god said that I have a pure nature and will not do anything serious and sinful. Queen
He said, if I have any discord in the Western Region, I can punish him as soon as possible. Of course, there is also this thing, I don’t know if it is of any use!"
Wen Wen looked at the gold medal in Naha's hand and took a breath.
Because the gold medal in her hand clearly has three seal characters written on it - Prince Religion!
