September 27th, Obon Festival (fiction is made up in the novel, please do not bring it into reality).
Suitable for: opening a business, starting construction, setting up shop, making a stove.
Taboo: moving, moving into a house, breaking ground, traveling.
As the seasons change, the air becomes a little cooler.
Sanmiao Mountain outside Yuzhou City is very lively, and pedestrians can be seen everywhere on the mountain road.
Bon Festival was originally a festival in the Western Regions. On this day, people worship their parents and commemorate their ancestors. It is one of the Buddhist sacrificial festivals.
Because Buddhism flourished in the Zhou Dynasty and was valued and appreciated by the emperors of the Zhou Dynasty, the Obon Festival was widely spread during the Zhou Dynasty, and others rushed to imitate it.
Then with the disintegration of the Zhou Dynasty, the status of Buddhism in Dayan gradually declined, and was even resisted by many sects, causing Buddhism to gradually decline. Most of the Buddhist sects also retreated to the Western Regions. Buddhist sacrifices and festivals naturally became withered.
stand up.
But it seemed different today. Pedestrians gathered along the way, slowly coming like ants, heading towards Faxi Temple on Sanmiao Mountain. It was much busier than previous Obon festivals.
Because today is not only the Buddhist Obon Festival, but also the Caobang is holding a grand meeting to denounce the demon sect. Although the ghost swordsman of the demon sect is dead, there is still a crusade against the demon sect.
In the Sutra Collection Hall, Fa Zhi is sitting on a futon with his eyes slightly closed and reciting sutras.
The young monk Fawu with red lips and white teeth next to him also looked attentive.
"Master Dharma Wisdom, you are well."
At this moment, a deep voice came from outside the hall.
Outside the hall, the man was about forty years old. His eyes were as calm as abyss, and his face had no expression at all. He was like ice on a snow-capped mountain. His large red cloak made him look a little lonely, and his waist
There is a token made of yellow jade with the word 'Xuan' engraved on it.
The first time Fa Wu saw the man, he felt extremely cold all over his body, as if he had suddenly gone from the cool autumn to the scorching heat of winter.
Behind that cold man were three gold-lettered head catchers wearing black cloaks, among whom Hong Yuanwu was in the middle.
"The first time we met was in the seventh year of Xingping. Now it is the thirteenth year of Xingping. Six years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Fazhi stood up with emotion and said: "Master Gan, you are still the same as before. Apart from your improvement in martial arts, your face has not changed much."
In Dayan, the first thing you need to understand when wandering around the world is the sharpest knife and weapon of the emperor today, the Xuanyi Guard.
It is precisely because of the Xuanyi Guard that the current Emperor can sit back and relax. It can be said that the Xuanyi Guard is like a sharp knife hanging by the Emperor in the world.
The Xuanyi Guards are divided into four levels of masters: Jade, Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Among them, there are seventy-two gold-character masters, known as the Seventy-Two Shas of Tiangang. Each of them is at the peak of the second level.
Almost all of them have the ability to enter the Tiger List, but because they hold official positions, they are not included in the Jianghu Ranking.
Next are the Jade Masters. There are thirty-six of these Jade Masters, so they are called Da Tiangang.
The jade masters are even more terrifying. The lowest cultivation level is the first-level cultivation, and there are many jade masters who have become human flowers and earth flowers.
Every year, the imperial court would recruit martial arts masters to join the Xuanyi Guards. Once someone died in Tiangang Disha, someone would immediately fill in. Therefore, the Xuanyi Guards' manpower reserve was extremely rich, which made all the Jianghu forces astonished.
The reputation of Xuanyiwei in the Jianghu is as thunderous and majestic. As a sharp weapon for the Human Emperor to deal with the Jianghu, its role is self-evident, which is to clear away the restless existence of Dayan for the Human Emperor.
No one in the world wants to be approached by the Xuanyi Guards, not even the top seven sects in the world.
The cold man in front of me is Tianlaoxing Gan Yue, one of the thirty-six great celestial beings.
Fawu glanced at Gan Yue with doubts in his heart. He didn't expect that his senior brother and this cold person were actually old friends. He was in the sixth year of Xingping, and he was only two years old at that time.
"Master Dazhi is so complimentary."
Gan Yue said calmly: "The face is just like a piece of skin."
Fazhi clasped his hands together and said softly: "Master Gan has a clear root of wisdom, which is extremely rare. His achievements in the future are immeasurable."
"If we go any further, Gan won't dare to think about it."
Gan Yue waved his hand, "I was ordered to come here this time to assist the master in suppressing the evil things here. I wonder what the situation is now?"
At this time, he was ranked as one of the thirty-six great Tiangangs. He was the top master of Xuanyi Guard. His cultivation level was at the first level in the world. It would be even more difficult for him to go further.
Fazhi frowned, and then sighed: "The Yin Qi collapsed in the past few days, and the Buddha statue collapsed yesterday. In my opinion, this evil thing is about to come out. The poor monk feels that this is just a sign, or maybe it is...
An early warning."
Gan Yue saw Fazhi's face so solemn and couldn't help but ask in his heart: "What on earth is this evil thing??"
The monk in front of me is the head of the Dairiyuan of Leiyin Temple and one of the Eighteen Arhats in the Western Regions.
The masters who can be called Arhats in the Western Regions have at least a first-class cultivation level. Their strength is so unpredictable that even I may not be able to see through it, but the face of the person in front of me is so solemn, which is enough to explain the power of this sealed thing.
horrible.
"The poor monk doesn't know much either. Many ancient books have been lost, and many things recorded in them are not very clear."
Fazhi shook his head, "But this seal is a legacy from the Zhou Dynasty. In addition to Faxi Temple, there are other places where this evil thing exists. Once the evil thing comes out of the seal, there will be a huge disaster.
"
"What a disaster?!"
When Gan Yue heard this, he couldn't help but think of an incident a few years ago.
At that time, in the Imperial Study Room, Eunuch Guangde, the sword-wielding eunuch who was one of the three great eunuchs under the Human Emperor, inquired about how to curb the Zhenyi Sect today, and Gan Yue was lucky enough to stand on the spot as a spectator.
He clearly remembered what the Emperor said: If there are five monkeys and you have five peaches, if you give the five peaches to the five monkeys at this time, they will definitely be dissatisfied with their master, but if you take the
If four peaches come out, they will only fight among themselves, but will be respectful to their master.
If An Jing were here, he would definitely understand the deeper meaning. The current Emperor of Yan is just transforming class contradictions into internal contradictions.
Today, the seven major sects occupy most of the world, and among this majority, the Zhenyi Sect, which is revered as the state religion, is even more powerful in the world. It occupies more than half of them, that is, half of the world belongs to the Zhenyi Sect.
As an emperor, how could he be willing to see the Zhenyi Sect's family dominate the world? Even though the leader of the Zhenyi Sect had the ability to follow the dragon, and the number one person in the world who sat on the Zhenyi Mountain had a close relationship with him.
But in this world, an emperor is an emperor.
Buddhism in the Western Regions withdrew from the land of Yan due to the chaos of the Nine Kingdoms. Now the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the country is stable. If Buddhism is extradited back, a huge stone can be thrown into this chaotic world and stir up a storm.
This extradition to Buddhism has many advantages in all aspects.
According to the description in the history books, Buddhism should have flourished during the Taiping years, which could stabilize the country and the country. On the other hand, the return of Buddhism could curb the development of the Zhenyi Sect, and even dampen the arrogance of the Zhenyi Sect, and resist the possible comeback of the demonic sect.
The Western Region is known as the Land of Three Thousand Buddhas. Although it is a bit exaggerated, there are many Buddhist sects, divided into Zen Buddhism and Tantric Buddhism. There are many masters among them, even compared to Zhenyi Sect.
In addition, it can also suppress the unknown seal left by the Zhou Dynasty. Although Buddhism knows that this is a conspiracy, it still has to jump in in order to return to its original place and spread the Buddhist scriptures.
The Emperor of Humanity had already begun to plan and arrange such an exquisite chess game several years ago, which makes people sigh.
Fazhi pondered for a long time and said: "The poor monk thinks that the loosening of the seal may be the work of someone with ulterior motives. Please pay more attention to it, Master Gan."
Fazhi guessed in his mind that this was the work of the Demon Cult, but he did not say it out loud.
"Artificial?!"
Gan Yue's eyes narrowed into a slit and he sneered: "Someone wants to make this world unstable?"
