After seeing off the porters, Li Xiu returned to his bamboo house.
The two large stacks of scriptures and books placed in the foyer are all "Relics of Buddha Sutra".
The entire Buddhist Relics Sutra has 84,000 volumes, divided into seven parts, each of which has 12,000 volumes.
It took Li Xiu ten years to collect the scattered scriptures in the third volume, but the other volumes of the Buddhist Relics Sutra have so many gaps that they cannot be connected into a bibliography.
Although there are many scriptures obtained this time, it is still not possible to complete the fourth relic sutra.
The Buddhist Relics Sutra is a sutra that Li Xiu must read every day. He chants the sutra in ancient Jinzhang language and memorizes the characters on the sutra. This is Li Xiu's daily homework.
There are 84,000 volumes of scriptures, and the scriptures in each volume are like an ancient chant. They are cumbersome and complex, and extremely difficult to pronounce and obscure. Ordinary people, let alone recite them, even chant them against the scriptures.
He may not be able to recite the above verse smoothly and completely.
However, Li Xiu's soul was powerful, and his spiritual consciousness and memory had been strengthened after practicing magic, and he had only memorized the third complete Sutra of Buddha Relics. However, it was just a difficult to pronounce and jerky sutra that still took up Li Xiu's time for many years.
It was very troublesome for Li Xiu to collect these scriptures! The Buddhist Relics Sutra is an investigation scripture for entering Buddhism. Although it has been circulated, it has been tightly covered up by the lay people who want to worship in the pagoda temple.
The rest of the scriptures were examined when entering the temple, but they were not the focus.
According to what I have learned over the past decade or so, the Baota Temple, a mortal Buddhist temple affiliated with the Jinzhuan Sect in this city, has extremely strict inspections when entering the temple, exceeding the scientific examination that Li Xiu learned about for the number one scholar!
Looking through these scriptures one by one, Li Xiu fell into the memory of the magical sounds of the ancient scriptures in the Buddhist Relics Sutra.
…
There is a towering cliff temple on the western outskirts of Pagoda City. The temple here is built on the cliff.
The temple here is what the layman Damyuan calls Jinlong Temple.
The cliff has nine and eighteen turns from top to bottom, and the largest Golden Dragon Hall is on the top of the cliff.
Downward, palace buildings like golden dragons are built windingly on nine cliff paths.
Under the cliff road, at the end of the golden dragon, there is a huge square paved with white stones.
If you look at the Golden Dragon Temple and Baishi Square from the air, it will look like a golden dragon flying among the white clouds.
Beneath the cliff, monks and laymen gathered together. Looking around, there were hundreds of thousands of people in the square!
The Baoguang Dharma Assembly at Jinlong Temple is held once every ten years. Li Xiucai had just come to Pagoda City for the last Baoguang Dharma Assembly, and he missed that event at that time.
At that time, at the Baoguang Dharma Assembly at Jinlong Temple, hundreds of lay people recited the entire "Relic of the Buddha" Sutra. All these lay people who could recite the "Relic of the Buddha" were admitted to the Baoguang Temple!
In the next ten years, lay people who wanted to get started all began to collect the entire Buddhist Relics Sutra!
As long as you recite one of the seven Buddhist Relics Sutras, you can be selected by the Pagoda Temple. In order to prevent their competitors from obtaining the entire Relics of the Buddha Sutra, these lay people are stubbornly collecting their own Relics of the Buddha Sutra.
Only those lay people who cannot collect a whole volume will use the scriptures in their hands to exchange for the one they want.
After all, there are seven volumes of the Relics of the Buddha. As long as the rest of the Relics of the Buddha are traded away, leaving only the part that they have memorized, there will be more lay people who cannot collect even one copy of the Relics of the Buddha, and they will go crazy to buy them.
All scriptures! Just like Li Xiu.
The frenzied purchase of scriptures by this group of lay Buddhists has also resulted in fewer and fewer relics and Buddhist scriptures being circulated outside!
Although Li Xiu has gathered together the third volume of the Buddhist Relics Sutra, he has not memorized it all. That is twelve thousand volumes of sutras! With the power of a mortal's soul, it would be impossible for him to do it without more than fifty years.
arrive!
Fortunately, Li Xiu's soul is powerful, and he can recite scriptures countless times faster than ordinary people. Not only does he remember a lot of scriptures!
Li Xiu walked all the way in the square looking for lay people he knew well. The square was full of eminent monks giving lectures. The Buddhist scriptures taught by these eminent monks were very different from the Buddhist scriptures he had learned to recite!
Many lay people would sit cross-legged and listen, and some monks would distribute a book to the star lay people.
Li Xiu saw a Tanyuan layman under a high altar with a sallow complexion and only a few burnt-yellow hair on his head.
After several years of treatment, most of Tanyuan's hidden diseases have been eliminated. In order to repay Li Xiu's treatment, he took out almost all the classic books and shared them with Li Xiu.
The eminent monk on the high altar spoke for nearly an hour before he finished. The many lay people sitting below started slowly starting from the ground.
Layman Tanyuan's sallow face was a little excited. There was a book placed where he sat cross-legged.
Picking up the book, Master Tanyuan flipped through it excitedly. Several people around him looked at Master Tanyuan's book.
Li Xiu stepped forward and squeezed into the place where the layman was meditating. He patted the layman Tanyuan who was still reading fascinatedly.
"Master Tanyuan, when did you come here?" Li Xiu asked politely.
"Oh, Master Xiu Yuan! Come on, come on, I got a Nine Wheels of Relics Sutra! Help me up! Let's go find those familiar colleagues and get the Nine Wheels of Relics Sutra together!" Layman Tanyuan's legs are sore.
He was numb and swollen, and even after sitting cross-legged and meditating for an hour, he couldn't bear it.
"The Nine Wheels of Relics Sutra? Master Tanyuan, isn't this Dharma conference going to discuss the Dharma - the Relics of the Buddha Sutra?" Li Xiu said in confusion.
"Master Xiuyuan, I always thought that this Baoguang Dharma Assembly was still about studying the Buddhist Relics Sutra, but this time at the Baoguang Dharma Assembly, the main Dharma discussed and exchanged was: "The Nine Wheels of Relics Sutra"!
Teaching the Nine Wheels of Relics Sutra is the decree of the Precious Light Buddha Land! Master Xiuyuan, we will also have enlightenment on the Nine Wheels of Relics in the future!
I just don’t know when and what month it will take for the root of wisdom to be sown deeply? Alas! It’s already hard to find the relic stupa, so how can the nine relic wheels give birth to the relic treasure?”
The words of Layman Tanyuan made all the laymen around him feel a little embarrassed. The Buddhist Relics Sutra is no longer the main subject of examination. The laymen still have to study the Nine Wheels of Relics Sutra. Li Xiu, who knows only a little about the Buddhist cultivation method, can't think of it.
Understanding, he simply took Layman Tanyuan to other high altars to look for colleagues that Layman Tanyuan was familiar with.
The two of them passed by a high altar where sutras were still being lectured. The eminent monk on top of the high altar was speaking about the essence of the Nine Wheels of Relics Sutra.
Layman Tanyuan glanced at the laymen meditating below. There was a layman who was more than half a head taller than the others and was listening to the sermon at the high altar.
"That's Master Kusong! He also has a Nine-wheel Sutra of Relics under his body! That's great!" Layman Tanyuan was so excited that if the lecture at the high forum hadn't ended, Li Xiu would have rushed in.

The update is a bit slow. I didn’t get enough rest during the New Year. In addition, the protagonist has entered a new environment and has some glitches. There are some setting details that are difficult to deal with, and the setting of the relic needs to be improved.
