Chapter 363: Monk Zhiwei, do you know Meng Rang Fazheng?
The 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, how many towers are in the mist and rain!
Because of the prosperity of Buddhism during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Buddhist temples can be seen everywhere in the entire Jiangnan region, and Danyang, as the hometown of Qi and Liang Dynasties, is no exception.
There is an Emperor's Foundation Temple in the east of Danyang City. It was built by Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty, Xiao Yan, to pray for his father, Emperor Wen, Xiao Shunzhi. The so-called Emperor's Foundation Temple was where Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty considered the emperor's foundation, and it was a very important place in his heart.
sacred place.
How much importance did Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty, attach to Huangji Temple?
Well, after Emperor Wu of Liang died, there were even rumors that he was buried in this Huangji Temple!
However, everything must come to an end. After the foundation of Nanliang passed away, this once bustling and prosperous temple also declined.
"well……"
Monk Zhiwei was walking in the Huangji Temple, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly when he saw that the once magnificent scenery had turned into the decaying grass and withered poplar trees.
Although it is said that living in bad emptiness is the unchanging truth, and he himself also knows that there must be death if there is life, but when he saw with his own eyes that the glory of the past was blown away by the rain and wind, he still couldn't help but feel a little bit.
So sad.
Just before his lamentation disappeared in the wind, he suddenly heard a strange voice coming from the side.
"The ringing of the bells of the Gion Abode tells the story of the impermanence of the world; the flowers of the two Sara trees have faded, and those that flourish will wither like the vicissitudes of life."
Monk Zhiwei turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a handsome Taoist priest wearing a strange white robe, carrying an ancient sword on his back, and holding a white jade whisk in his hand, standing on the wall next to him.
When he turned around, the Taoist priest in white actually smiled at him.
"Did Pindao speak to your mind?"
As he spoke, the Taoist priest in white raised his hand and saluted him gently.
"Great monk Zhiwei, I am so polite!"
Although the appearance of this young Taoist priest was very strange, Monk Zhiwei still politely put his hands together, returned the salute, and replied calmly.
"The poor monk returned the favor! Looking at Tan Yue's clothes, he must be the Qingwei Master who has recently become famous in the Taishi Bureau, right?"
"Fahua Sect is indeed the first sect in Buddhism. It is really well-informed. Even a small person like Pindao can get into the eyes of all the great monks. How lucky it is."
The Taoist priest in white walked forward, as if stepping on invisible stairs, and walked down the wall step by step. At the same time, he shook the whisk in his hand, his eyes slid past the side of the monk Zhiwei, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
"That's right! I am a humble Taoist. I came to see the great monk today to ask for advice on something."
"The poor monk was just traveling and happened to pass through Danyang."
Monk Zhiwei put his hands together and said calmly.
"If you, Master Qingwei, are going to ask about Taihu Dragon Lord or Fu Gong'er, this poor monk will know nothing about it."
"Hahaha……"
As soon as Monk Zhiwei finished speaking, he heard the white-clothed Taoist opposite burst into laughter.
"Master monk, do you actually think that this poor monk came to you for this matter? Then you are wrong. I don't even need to ask you whether you, Taihu Longjun and Fugong Er have colluded..."
As he said this, Taoist priest Kong Qing in white cast his eyes intentionally or unintentionally on the side of Monk Zhiwei, and moved his fingers up and down.
"After all, the Songjiang God, the Pixi God, and the Yufeng Mountain God have all made it very clear, including that your Fahua Sect secretly bet on Fu Gong'er, assisted the Taihu Dragon Lord in the dragon fight, and even included the Buddhist "Naga Powerful Achievement Sutra"
"I know everything about what I gave to the Dragon Lord of Taihu."
Although Kong Qing pointed out what he had done in front of his face, Monk Zhiwei still remained calm, and even the smile on his face did not change.
"Master Qingwei, the so-called right and wrong are in the heart of the people. The poor monk was indeed invited by Taihu Dragon King to attend his banquet and also gave a copy of the "Naga Powerful Achievement Sutra" to Taihu Dragon King. However, the poor monk did not help.
When he was fighting for the dragon, the poor monk said at that time that the poor monk was here to help the Jianghuai land, not to help one family."
Having said that, Monk Zhiwei looked at Kong Qing and smiled slightly.
"If the real person doesn't believe it, the poor monk can confront Songjiang Shen and the others and see what words the poor monk said in the first place?"
After hearing what Monk Zhiwei said, the corners of Taoist priest Kong Qing's mouth twitched, and then he gave him a thumbs up.
"Okay! Great Monk Zhiwei, you really have a good argument. It turns out that when you said, 'My master sent a poor monk down the mountain just to help the Jianghuai area.' How can you explain it like this!"
"hehe……"
Monk Zhiwei chuckled and clasped his hands together.
"Namo Miaoguang Bodhisattva!"
"You Buddhist monks like Lotus Lotus and Poor Taoist have seen the light of day, but...it doesn't matter anymore!"
Kong Qing shook the whisk in his hand, took a step forward, and stood a few steps away from Monk Zhiwei, his eyes still fixed on his side.
"Anyway, this is not why Pindao came to you..."
"oh!"
Monk Zhiwei was a little surprised and asked.
"It's not because of this matter. Then I dare to ask Master Qingwei if there is anything you want to ask the poor monk?"
"Of course it's something that no one else knows except you, Master Zhiwei, a distinguished monk from the Lotus Mountain!"
After saying this, Kong Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his beautiful eyebrows slightly, and his tone became stern.
"Ten years ago, that is, in the ninth year of Daye, Prince Zhishilang Wang Bo and Meng Rang started an uprising in Shandong, and behind Meng Rang was the support of your Fahua Sect..."
"Please be careful what you say!"
Before Kong Qing could finish his words, Monk Zhiwei interrupted him.
"We, the Fahua Sect, are devoted to cultivation and have nothing to do with the world. The so-called support for Meng Rang and Wang Bo's uprising is pure nonsense."
"You don't have to deny it..."
Kong Qing's eyes moved up to Monk Zhiwei's face, with a mocking expression and a joking smile on his face.
"Pindao had learned from Meng Rang... well, he had already become a monk at that time and changed his name to Fa Zheng! Pindao had already obtained the truth at that time from Fa Zheng, and also from the great monks Faya and Zhixi.
Conclusive evidence has been obtained.”
As he spoke, Kong Qing shook his fly whisk slightly with a stern expression.
"It's just that Monk Falla's talent was too poor and he was sent out of Tiantai Mountain early. So he only knew that the Fahua Sect supported Meng Rang, and he also received the Buddhist decree and changed Meng Rang's name to become a monk. For others,
All ignorant.
In the ninth year of his great career, the great monk Zhixi was making vigorous progress, planning to break through to the Arahant realm and stay in seclusion all year round, so he didn’t know the specific situation.
As for Fa Zheng, who was just a chess piece at that time, he knew nothing except that the great monk who came to contact him at that time was indeed a senior monk of the Fahua Sect..."
Having said this, Kong Qing grinned at Monk Zhiwei, his white teeth shining brightly in the sun.
"Master Zhiwei, can you tell Pindao, which eminent monk of the Fahua Sect was Meng Rang's liaison with Fa Zheng back then? Do you know him?"
Whoosh!
As soon as Kong Qing finished speaking, he saw Monk Zhiwei tiptoe, and with a popping sound, a lotus flower suddenly rose up, and his body flew out behind him like an electric beam.
"hehe!"
Seeing the figure of Monk Zhiwei shooting like a star, Kong Qing sneered.
"It took such a long time for me to meet a guy who really knew the truth. How could I let you just run away... take out the sheath!"
Following the words, the Guchen sword behind Kong Qing flew out in light, wrapped his body, and flickered in the air several times. It really seemed like lightning. It struck first and arrived first. Monk Zhiwei had not yet escaped from the Imperial Palace.
When we arrived at the temple, we had already caught up with him.
"Heavenly Sword, cut!"
Following a light scolding, the snow-colored sword light trembled in the air, and then the light retracted and condensed into an ancient dust sword that was dozens of times larger. Then it slashed at Monk Zhiwei from top to bottom.
Go down.
Facing this powerful and heavy sword, Monk Zhiwei thought in a flash and came to a conclusion.
Can't take it!
If he wanted to receive the sword unscathed, he would have to activate the magic weapon on his body to unite Buddha and me. But in that case, things would be too big, and it was completely inconsistent with the Dharma Master's initiation to the master before he came down the mountain.
His explanation was easy for Li Tang to take advantage of.
And there is another point, if your momentum is too high, it will definitely alarm Jianghuai's Dragon Qi, and Dragon Qi has no eyes at all. It will not do it just because it is the supporter behind Fu Gong'er.
Attack yourself.
etc……
Why did this Taoist priest dare to unleash his full strength so unscrupulously in Danyang, while Jianghuai Dragon Qi turned a blind eye?
However, this kind of doubt only passed by for a moment. After all, the enemy was in front of him, and Monk Zhiwei had no time to think about it. He took a step back, and a lotus flower appeared under his feet. He took advantage of the situation and floated to the left, turning his elbow.
An exquisite vajra appeared from under his elbow, pointing towards the side of the huge heavenly sword. As he was escaping, he actually planned to use the opponent's power to accelerate.
"hehe……"
Kong Qing's sneer sounded in the air.
"It's a small skill, watch me wield a sword and conquer demons!"
Following the words, the huge heavenly sword in the air suddenly exploded with countless sword qi. In an instant, one sword turned into ten thousand swords. Countless sword qi swung in the air and flew in the direction of Monk Zhiwei.
Shoot out.
Dangdangdang...
In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains shook. The bell tower on the side of Huangji Temple was directly swept by the sword energy. The buildings that were already in disrepair collapsed instantly. The sword energy hit the big bell in the bell tower, ringing one after another.
The loud bells.
Unexpectedly, the swordsmanship of the young Taoist priest across from him had actually reached the level of gathering and dispersing at will, and the differentiation of sword light. The Zhiwei monk was caught off guard and tried hard to swing his vajra, flashing and moving in the sword light, but still
His body was wiped by several sword energy, and blood burst out.
At this time, Monk Zhiwei's face had become very ugly.
To be honest, he was somewhat disapproving of this young Taoist priest from the Taishi Bureau who suddenly rose to fame like a meteor, got the favor of Qingxiazi at a young age, and was promised to be the future master of the Danding Luofu Sect.
As a disciple of the Lotus Sect, the first sect of Buddhism, he is also an elite of the Tiantai Mountain, and is a disciple of Master Zhang An. His wisdom and power, the monk himself, is a genius among geniuses. He is able to break through the attachment between people and self at the age of less than thirty, and achieve great achievements.
Arhat status is a rare thing in the entire Lotus Sect and even the entire Buddhism.
He's just a genius, who isn't?
Especially the fact that Qingxiazi personally took care of the aftermath of the Taihu Dragon Lord this time made him firmly believe that this so-called genius Qingwei was just Qingxiazi and the others' helpless choice. There was no general in Shu, and Liao Hua did
The pioneer kind.
Even though he turned around and ran away without saying a word, it was because he was worried about Qingxiazi being nearby, not because he was worried about Qingwei.
In the end, the facts gave him a slap in the face!
