Ruins can be seen everywhere in the city. Dilapidated houses and broken walls have been eroded by time.
In addition to the ghouls wandering around, there are also many ghosts and ghosts in Chang'an City at night.
There are many vines sucking energy at the collapsed city wall. If too many vines are cut down, trees will uproot their roots and come to beat people.
There are petrified guards at the entrance of each tower. They hide in the ground and crawl out when someone passes by; groups of armored ghosts sometimes appear on the streets. They are the armor of soldiers who died and turned into ghosts. They stand up on their own and look for their hosts, but
No host can persist in an armor without eating or drinking, so they need to constantly look for new hosts.
Wu Qiudao was not in a hurry to return to the human world. He brutally killed these evil spirits. He stood on Zhuque Street and looked up at the imperial city in the distance.
The palace of the Royal Palace is abandoned, the red walls and yellow tiles are covered with moss.
In front of the imperial city wall, the grassy open space is littered with all kinds of waste, becoming part of the desolate scene.
The sound of "ka ka ka" came from afar. Wu Qiudao raised his head and looked towards Wannian County to the east of Zhuque Street. He saw a lot of movement at the Daci'en Temple in Jinchangfang.
Daci'en Temple is the ancestral temple of the "Weishi Sect", one of the "Eight Buddhist Sects" in China, and one of the three major translation sites in Chang'an, Tang Dynasty.
After the edict was established and completed, it had multiple buildings and halls, cloud pavilions and bridal chambers, and more than ten courtyards, with a total of 1,897 rooms. It became the largest temple in Chang'an City for a while.
The most famous thing about Daci'en Temple is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which was built under the personal supervision of Master Xuanzang. Inside the pagoda are the famous stele "Preface to the Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty" and Buddha relics.
The so-called "Wild Goose Pagoda" allusion comes from "The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty".
Legend has it that Master Xuanzang once visited the heavenly realm and met a group of monks practicing Hinayana Buddhism at the Dongfeng Temple where the Emperor Taihuang Zengtian was practicing Theravada Buddhism.
The food of the three pure things is not to be killed by oneself").
One day, one of the monks saw a group of flying geese and joked that the monks were hungry. The Bodhisattva should know this, so immediately one of the wild geese died. The monks thought that this was a warning from the Bodhisattva, instructing them to cherish their lives, so they were buried at that location.
Luo Yan built a pagoda to commemorate this event, which was called the Wild Goose Pagoda.
The "Big" Wild Goose Pagoda represents Mahayana Buddhism. Master Xuanzang named it "Big Wild Goose Pagoda" to show the difference between the Consciousness-Wei Sect and the original Hinayana Buddhism.
At this time, the top of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was faintly emitting a dazzling light, and even the light penetrated the tower wall and made people have to cover their eyes with their hands.
A huge golden hand surged out from the ground and grabbed the Buddha relic hidden on the top of the tower. When he turned his hand again, another giant hand clapped his palms together with it. The two palms were pulled apart, revealing a statue standing tall on the sky and the ground.
The Great Buddha has arrived.
I saw the golden Buddha, which was nine hundred feet high, with a nose as big as a thousand dendrobium boats. Wu Qiudao estimated that it must be at least three hundred meters high. It can be said that it is almost as tall as the Empire State Building in New York in the previous life. Even the little finger of the Buddha statue is
Dozens of people can stand on it.
The big Buddha stands in the wind, looking down at all living beings. It has a Kyushu tripod under its feet. There are twelve tall bronze figures under the tripod, which are the images of the twelve attributes. The right hand of the big Buddha is placed in front of the navel to form the nectar seal, and the left hand is raised to the chest.
There is a small relic inside, which is blooming with dazzling Buddha light.
It has snail hair on its head, a broad nose and thick lips, slightly drooped eyes, a smile at the corner of its mouth, big ears and shoulders, and a straight face. It is dressed in a shoulder-length cassock with an asura inside.
The body is painted with gold paint, the color is deep, and the Buddha's light is restrained. It can be said to be a majestic treasure.
Only the head of the big Buddha seemed to have been poured with a basin of cow blood, which flowed down from top to bottom, staining most of the head red, making the sacred and solemn Buddha statue weird and adding a lot of horror.
Wu Qiudao looked at the movement over there with cold eyes and cursed in his heart, don't think I can't tell, this is the giant Buddha built by Wu Zetian back then. The prototype of the "Tongtian Pagoda" that appeared in "Di Renjie: The Empire of Tongtian" was to enshrine the giant Buddha.
The tower of heaven that was built.
The key point is that the Tongtian Pagoda is a specialty of Luoyang, the capital of the East. It was destroyed by fire a few years after it was built. How did it get into the shadow gap of Chang'an City? Taixu's dream is really nonsense.
Is it because Wu Zetian is considered the emperor of the Tang Dynasty after all, so people from Chang'an always appear in their dreams, so this Zhongnan Cave Sky has left traces?
The giant Buddha opened his eyelids slightly and looked at the little man in the distance: "Donor, why do you commit so many crimes in my Ye Chang'an City?"
Wu Qiudao shrugged: "I didn't know that killing these demons and monsters can be regarded as killing evil."
The big Buddha changed his gestures and recited a Buddhist mantra: "Om Buri Treyes Waha!"
Wu Qiudao understood clearly that this was the mantra of Maitreya Bodhisattva. It is said that anyone who hears one word of this mantra will not fall into the three evil realms, nor will he be reborn in the womb, but will be born in a lotus flower.
"The Bodhisattva is so compassionate that he chanted mantras to save a group of ghouls." His face was distorted, "I wonder where the Buddha came from?"
The Buddha laughed and said: "The Buddha lives in the Jingshe Temple in the Mikanu Village of the Nirvana Dojo in the Kingdom of Mogati. A heavenly being descended from the Tusita Heaven and was born from the right side of the body. He is the son of the Brahmin Kapoli. He has a golden body and three
Twelve signs and eighty kinds of good things. At this time, when you practice Brahma, you will establish a name with your son and make a vow to be named Maitreya."
"Sure enough, he is compassionate." Wu Qiudao also smiled, "When Maitreya came out of the Sutra of All the Immortals of Wisdom and Light, Maitreya was once the all the Immortal of Wisdom and Light, and when Mei and Liye spoke the Samadhi Sutra of Compassion, he was called the Ci Family Buddha! First, there was the demon king Cheng Yaojin, and then there was
Commander-in-Chief Li Jing, it seems that your compassionate fake Maitreya is Wu Zetian, right?"
"Maitreya Zetian, what's the difference?" Maitreya Buddha shook his head, "In the past, there was a Bodhisattva who was the Emperor of Heaven and had a high position. However, one day he saw his old friend, who was cast into a wealthy wife by a woman in this life.
He was deceived by wealth but not aware of its impermanence. He turned into a businessman, called himself an old friend, enlightened the woman, and said that he would visit again in the future."
"Then the merchant went to the woman's house again, but this time he looked ugly and wore rags. He called outside the door: 'My friend is here, please call her out.' The gatekeeper came inside and told the woman,
When he came out, he saw the merchant in ugly appearance and bad clothes, but he couldn't recognize him, so he said, 'You are not my friend!'"
"The Buddha told the Oriole: The woman at that time is Maitreya; the Emperor of Heaven is the Buddha, and I am the body; the bodhisattva is as determined and diligent as ever! The woman is Maitreya, then Heaven is the woman, and Maitreya is Heaven!
Compassionate Samadhi, Samadhi is one! Wu Qiudao, do you understand?"
Wu Qiudao's heart was shocked, and many thoughts surged out of his consciousness. He was speechless for a moment, as if he was suppressed by the other party's words.
Something's wrong, something's wrong this time!
He is not Wu Zetian, nor is he Maitreya Bodhisattva. Who is he?
"Who are you?!" Wu Qiudao suddenly broke away from the shock and shouted with all his strength.
