A group of officers, like wolves and tigers, rushed up Feilai Peak and broke through the gate of Feilai Temple. Their swords and guns were unsheathed, and the cold light shone out.
"All the monks in the temple came out without leaving a single one behind. We are the officials of Qiantang County. We are ordered by Magistrate Peng to seize Feilai Temple. You are not allowed to stay for a long time. Prepare yourselves. Prepare to return to secular life and go down the mountain.
.”
There were many eminent monks in Feilai Temple. As the officials entered the mountain gate, they were already alarmed. Each one of them, with beards and hair as white as frost, and blood like a rainbow, walked slowly from the depths of the temple with square steps.
"Namo Amitabha!"
The Buddha's chants were loud and loud, and the sound was like thunder, which startled the nearby birds and spread their wings like clouds.
The abbot who came to the temple walked over with a smile on the round lantern:
"As officials from Qiantang, why do you come to our small temple in the mountains?"
The leading officer raised his fists and said:
"Old monk, I'm sorry. We have been ordered to seal down all temples, Taoist temples and other foreigners in Qiantang. Please forgive me, old monk. Now you can pack up and go down the mountain."
The figure on the round lantern has his hands clasped together, his beard and hair flowing, and he has an aura of coming out of the dust:
"It's good, it's good. We, the monks, are merciful. We are afraid of hurting the lives of ants when we walk. We cherish moths and cover our lamps with gauze. We are destined to be together with the people of Qiantang. Why did the county magistrate seal up our mountain gate without any reason?"
The leading officer said:
"We don't know what the reason is. We are just following orders. Come on, smash up the Feilai Temple and push down the golden Buddha inside. Anyone who dares to resist will be taken back to Qiantang County Prison."
The officials who came together shouted in unison:
"yes!"
As they shouted in unison, the senior monks who flew to the temple saw a clear light like water above the heads of these officials, shining down around them.
"These people have accepted the authority of the county magistrate. I am not lying. They did come to my Feilai Temple to demolish the temple and smash the Buddha's golden body. However, my Buddha's golden body is supreme. How can I allow these ordinary people to destroy it?"
The old monk with frost-white beard and hair suddenly opened his eyes one by one when he looked at the officials who were about to take action. His eyes were shining like thunder, and the Buddha's energy above his head was steaming, filling the air like clouds.
The leading officer's heart trembled. With a clang, he drew out the simple knife from his waist and pointed it at the group of monks with a cold light:
"The officers were ordered to destroy the temple. They were obeying the will of heaven and in line with the will of the people. You old monks have not retreated to the side and waited for your fate. Are you doing this now to rebel?"
The officials who came with them also pointed their shining swords at the monks who came to the temple with stern expressions. If they disagreed, they would draw their swords and strike first.
When they came, these officials had already heard that some monks and Taoists in old temples in the mountains had magical powers to protect themselves. However, as long as these monks and Taoists still wanted to pass on the incense in the world, they generally would not and would not dare to do so.
Attack the officials openly.
Master Yuan Deng looked at the angry monk and his face sank:
"Everyone, please step aside. Our Feilai Temple is a holy place for spiritual practice that embraces compassion, not a Shura monastery that harbors filth and evil. These officials can tear it down if they want. As long as we have Buddha in our hearts, the Buddha cannot be removed."
.”
The monks in the temple, with red eyes, followed the master of the round lantern and stepped aside, allowing the wolf-like officials to smash all the golden statues in the temple to pieces with wooden sticks and simple knives, and also pushed down many buildings in the temple.
, then the fireworks were all burned up, and after a careful inspection, he saw that there was nothing wrong, so he walked away.
Looking at Feilai Temple in the fireworks, all the monks in the temple closed their eyes slightly and silently recited the scriptures. A dull and sad atmosphere was flying, and every monk was holding a fire in his heart.
After the official left, Master Yuan Deng opened his eyes wide and roared like a lion:
"Buddha is not far away from Lingshan Mountain to seek help. Lingshan Mountain is within your heart. Everyone who has a Lingshan Pagoda prays to Lingshan Pagoda. Now! Now! Now! Now! Now."
The five words were spoken, as loudly as a loud roar, and the ruins of Feilai Temple were streaked with golden light, filled with clouds, and the wood turned into dust began to return to their original state little by little.
The old monks in the temple were overjoyed and recited the scriptures together, and pieces of golden light shrouded them.
A brand new Feilai Temple was re-erected on Feilai Peak.
Walking into the temple, Master Yuan Deng said:
"Nowadays, demonic ways are rampant and they are destroying the Buddha and slandering the Dharma. In order to prevent Feilai Temple from being destroyed again, I announced that the mountain gate will be closed and will be reopened after the great catastrophe."
The group of monks paused:
"I will obey the abbot's decree."
As the group of monks chanted the mantra, layers of golden light flashed, and a shadow of a giant Buddha appeared in the sky above Feilai Temple. The giant Buddha sat cross-legged high with a kind face. Suddenly, with a movement of his hand, he reached out and grabbed Feilai Temple from Feilai Peak.
Get up, put it in the palm of your hand and disappear.
The sky above Feilai Peak is empty, except for the bright moon and cool breeze, but no evening drums or morning bells can be seen.
...
Fahai came down from Feilai Temple, walking as fast as flying, and in a blink of an eye, Qiantang County was in sight.
After arriving at the county seat, Fahai did not go directly to the Holy Master's Mansion. Instead, he went to the Security Hall and found Xu Xian.
After Xu Xian saw Fahai, his expression was a little unnatural and he asked:
"Master, if you don't go to subjugate demons, why are you here in my security hall?"
Fahai smiled and put his hands together in a salute:
"Amitabha, the poor monk is not very familiar with the Holy Master Mr. Zhang. I am afraid that he will not be able to enter the Holy Master's Mansion for no reason. I also asked Mr. Xu to help lead the way. If he is not a monster, Mr. Xu is also a man of immeasurable merit."
Xu Xian was a little hesitant when he heard the words. Since practicing, his spiritual awareness has greatly increased. Every time he sees the two green and white snakes, he can feel that the two green and white snakes seem to have an intention towards him. Although he does not know what the intention is, he is a human being.
, they are demons, and their previous lives seemed like the emperor of heaven turned around.
Since the two green and white snakes are monsters, Xu Xian was secretly worried that his awakening of part of his past life memories had been noticed by some supreme beings in the dark world, who had sent them down to harm him.
"It is better to kill by mistake than to release by mistake!"
Xu Xian felt cruel in his heart, looked at Fahai and said:
"Well, I haven't visited my sister for a long time. Brother-in-law, I will take you to meet the Holy Master today. The Holy Master's articles are exquisite and his morals are high. Maybe you can become close friends."
Fahai smiled and said:
"Thank you so much, donor. I briefly met the Holy Master on the West Lake a few years ago. The Holy Master hid his identity at that time. Although I later learned that the person was the Holy Master, we never met again."
Xu Xian smiled and said:
"Let's go, let's go, I don't know if my brother-in-law is in the house now?"
After telling Wu Yulian, Xu Xian and Fahai left the security hall and walked towards the Holy Master's Mansion. Just halfway through the journey, Fahai's expression changed and he looked at the sky, and saw two evil spirits piercing the sky.
Landed in front of the Holy Master's Mansion. (To be continued.)
