Chapter 817 The murderous intention cannot be concealed
What Lu Cheng is really interested in is the "parietal bone relics" and "finger bone relics".
He has received news that the Buddha left a parietal bone relic located at Dabaoen Temple in Nanjing. It is the only real relic of the Buddha's crown in the world.
Documents record that the Northern Song Dynasty was the period of the resurgence of Buddhism. At that time, eminent Indian monks came to China with the relics of the Buddha's bones. In the fifth year of the Taiping Rebellion in the Northern Song Dynasty, eminent monks from the Wuzhen State in North India protected and dedicated the parietal bone relics of the Buddha to Changqian Temple in Jinling (today's Dabaoen Temple).
), in the fourth year of Dazhong Xiangfu, it was enshrined in the palace of Ashoka Pagoda in Changgan Temple.
In 2015, the Foding Palace located in Niushou Mountain was completed. The construction cost 4 billion yuan and is known as "the most luxurious temple in China". The internal space of the underground palace has nine floors, three above ground and six underground.
It consists of three major spaces: the main hall and the Tibetan Relic Palace. The Tibetan Relic Palace is located 44 meters underground. The central area of the Tibetan Palace is called the Tibetan Palace Hall, and the Buddha's top bone relics have been enshrined in the Tibetan Palace Hall for a long time.
You said that if such a Buddha's parietal bone was snatched away by the Lu family, I'm afraid the whole country would not agree!
There are several pieces of Buddha's finger bone relics. The finger bone relics of Famen Temple are the most famous real body relics. As glorious as the Tang Dynasty was, Famen Temple was as glorious as ever. The Buddha's relics are opened every thirty years, and the fortunes of the year are endless.
From then on, it became the rule of the Tang Dynasty royal family to stop fighting. Emperors such as Zhongzong, Ruizong and Wu Zetian all used the highest imperial etiquette to welcome the Buddha's true body relics. Famen Temple also became the royal dojo of the Tang Empire, which was extremely luxurious. p>
The Tang Dynasty was a dynasty that advocated Buddhism. Taizong of the Tang Dynasty issued an edict to reveal Buddha's bones for the first time; Wu Zetian welcomed the Buddha's bones for the second time; Suzong of the Tang Dynasty welcomed the Buddha's bones for the third time; Dezong of the Tang Dynasty welcomed the Buddha's bones for the fourth time. These emperors brought the Buddha's bones and relics from India
Get it to China and leave a treasure for the Chinese nation.
Lu Cheng respected history, respected the monks in the temple, and respected the sentiments of the people, so he did not snatch the parietal bone relics and finger bone relics. Although he speculated that these parietal bones and finger bones might contain the small world of Sumeru.
Although he did not get the real bone relic of Buddha, he found part of the parietal bone relic of Master Xuanzang.
In 1942, the parietal bone relic of Xuanzang was accidentally unearthed at the Tripitaka Pagoda site of Dabaoen Temple in Nanjing.
Japan wanted to take Xuanzang's parietal bone relics and unearthed cultural relics as its own, but eventually the news leaked and major media reported the matter one after another.
After the news of the unearthed relics spread in Nanjing, it stirred up waves, arousing strong indignation and firm opposition from all walks of life, including Chinese Buddhist circles. They launched various protests one after another, demanding that Japan release Xuanzang's parietal bone relics.
Return it to China.
Under the pressure of public opinion, the Wang puppet government had to come forward to negotiate.
Japan did not return all Xuanzang's parietal bone relics, but divided them into three parts. One part was returned to Nanjing, one was sent to Japan, and the other was left in Japan.
The parietal bone relic of Xuanzang returned to Nanjing from Japan was later divided into four. One was buried in Xuanzang Temple in Jiuhuashan, Nanjing. One was enshrined in Linggu Temple, and the other two were enshrined in Xuanzang in Hsinchu.
University and Xi'an Daci'en Temple.
A few years later, the piece of parietal bone left in Japan was divided into three parts, one of which went to Xuanzang Temple in Sun Moon Lake; the piece left in Japan was divided into four parts and enshrined in different temples.
A Jindan master from the side branch of the Lu family obtained two parietal bone relics of Xuanzang from Japan.
After Lu Cheng's appraisal, it was found that one of the pieces had an internal space.
Perhaps because of the lack of spiritual energy in the Tang Dynasty, the internal space of this parietal bone is very small, less than a hundred meters in diameter, and there is nothing inside except Buddhist scriptures.
Those Buddhist scriptures were taken out and given to Shen Qing'an to study and see how they were different from the Buddhist scriptures of later generations.
Shen Qing'an had just advanced to Yuanying, and when she was in high spirits, she and Lu Xiuzhu were about the same age, both 290 years old. For Yuanying monks, they were considered young talents. Like Shaolin and Wudang monks, except for a few weirdos
, all broke through after the age of 700.
At the same time, "Zhou Xuanku" (real name Lu Xuanku), who was the master of Fuhu Pavilion, received hundreds of relics from the Lu family. He meditated on the relics every day and was bathed in Buddha's light.
I feel my skills have improved greatly!
Based on the Xiao Wuxiang Kung Fu, he also practiced the Giant Spirit Technique and mastered the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin. His skill reached the middle stage of Nascent Soul and caught up with the abbot of the Shaolin Temple, Monk Hong Ming.
This summer, he accepted the abbot's call and returned to Shaolin Temple.
Monk Hongming said something that made Xuanku feel frightened.
Xuan Ku is a virtuous and eminent monk. Under normal circumstances, even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him, he will not change his color. It must be a big event that can make him change his color in shock!
Monk Hongming said one thing: "I want to enter the Elder's House! When I enter the Elder's House, I will pass on the position of abbot of Shaolin Temple to you!"
Xuanku said: "Abbott, if you want to enter the Elder's House, it's useless to look for me! I'm just the master of Fuhu Pavilion, which is equivalent to a fourth-level civil servant. My position is not high, and I am insignificant. There are many people with higher official positions than me in Chang'an City.
."
Monk Hong Ming said: "This is not my idea alone, but the thoughts shared by many sect leaders. I intend to invite the top five super sect leaders to enter the elders' house according to Bai Xiaosheng's sect ranking list.
, to replace the existing democratically elected system."
Xuan Ku said: "This is not easy."
Monk Hong Ming said: "The times are progressing. Cultivation is the mainstream, and social order should also change. The problem now is that Guan Qingfeng in the Elder's House blocked the cultivators of the five major sects by himself!"
"Then how about expanding to the eight sects? The Guan family's Zhuifeng Taiji sect happens to be ranked sixth. Abbot, if you exclude the Guan family, of course they will object."
"No, I contacted Guan Qingfeng privately and said that I would guarantee his position in the Elders' House. But he still rejected me."
"Abbott, what do you want to do?"
Monk Hongming said: "You are not a gentleman if you are too small, and you are not a husband if you are not poisonous. I intend to get rid of Guan Qingfeng, and I need your help."
Xuan Ku then changed his expression: "This... I heard that Guan Qingfeng is not weak, no less powerful than Yuanying monk... and his mother Guan Sangyue is a world-famous swordsman!"
Monk Hong Ming whispered: "I am going to set up a bureau with Li Feihong, the head of the Kongtong Sect. The specific operation is like this... If it goes well, Guan Qingfeng can be eliminated without anyone noticing. No matter how powerful Guan Sangyue is,
Can she still kill everyone in the world?"
Xuan Ku thought to himself: "This fake monk! He doesn't even have any compassion! If you tell me this, aren't you asking for your own death?"
He was originally an undercover agent sent by the Lu family to prevent this kind of thing from happening.
He came out of Songshan Shaolin Temple and returned to Chang'an City.
Soon, relevant news spread to Yuxu Peak.
This matter is very involved, so we must report it to Lu Cheng. If Lu Xuanku and Guan Qingfeng directly took care of Monk Hong Ming, causing millions of Shaolin Temple disciples to rebel, it would be difficult to deal with.
After Lu Cheng learned the news, he contacted Guan Sangyue and Guan Qingfeng and made some arrangements.
