The next day, early in the morning, the red sun was rising, Luohe County, Fuyun Mountain.
A middle-aged man with a yellow face, dressed in white as snow, rode a horse quickly to the foot of the mountain.
The mountain of Fuyun Mountain is not high, but it is very grand. The top of the mountain is broad and the terrain is very wide. Kassapa Temple is built on Fuyun Mountain. Kassapa Temple is a rare large temple, with Shanmen Hall, Tianwang Hall, Mahavira Hall, and the Venerable Kasyapa Temple.
The main axis is the hall, Dharma hall, and Sutra collection building. It covers an area of several hundred acres and houses more than 200 monks.
Kasyapa Temple is a large martial arts sect similar to the Qinghe Sword Sect. There are four eminent monks in the temple who are at the innate realm. There are also hundreds of monks and soldiers in the organization. Each of them is a warrior with deep internal strength, almost like an army. Moreover, they also hold in their hands
The land deeds for thousands of acres of fertile land and the granaries are full. There is no shortage of money and food, and there are elite soldiers. Once the world is in turmoil, this is a force that cannot be ignored.
Kasyapa Temple is so rich that the mountain gate is naturally built magnificently. The gate has three gates, all of which are vermilion gates.
In addition to the martial arts practicing monks and Zen masters practicing Zen, there are also novice monks who sweep the floor, grow vegetables, look after vegetables, cook and other chores. At this time, a young novice monk is cleaning the temple gate.
After a while, a yellow-faced middle-aged man dressed in white as snow and carrying two long swords climbed up the steps and walked to the mountain gate.
The little novice monk clasped his hands together and said calmly: "This donor, now is not the time to offer incense."
Kasyapa Temple belongs to the Jianghu sect. In order to avoid disturbing the monks practicing martial arts and the monks practicing meditation in the temple, incense can only be offered from noon to Shenshi.
Ling Feng clasped his fists and said, "I'd like to inform you that Ling Yun, the elder of the Qingjiao Gang, has paid a visit to Master Fa Ming, the host of your temple."
The young novice can guard the mountain gate, so he is not the kind of eminent monk who is ignorant of the affairs of the world and devotes himself to understanding Buddhism. The Qingjiao Gang is the largest gang in Qinghe County, so he naturally knows that. The only elder who has the position is the Innate Martial Master
He did not dare to neglect, and said with his hands clasped together: "Donor, please wait a moment, the young monk will go and make a report."
Ten minutes later, a middle-aged monk wearing a bright red cassock walked out. A string of red sandalwood beads hung on his chest. He had a peaceful face and a smile on his lips. He also looked like a Maitreya Buddha. The monk joined his hands and said:
"Lao Na, Dharma Wisdom, has met Donor Ling. The host brother is practicing meditation, so I don't want to disturb you. I hope you will forgive me!"
Although Ling Feng changed his appearance, Ren Qingyao had already informed Kaysapa Temple in a letter, so Fazhi knew Ling Feng's identity.
"How dare you blame me when you are welcomed by the first master of Dharma and Wisdom in the Bodhi Courtyard?"
Ling Feng also clasped his hands together and said with a smile. He knew the temperament of these eminent monks very well. Faming was the head of the temple, so he would not welcome them personally. The so-called meditation was just an excuse. If Fazhi hadn't known that Ling Feng had brought the jade Buddha statue, he said
He might send a random monk over to receive him. Although these monks emphasize the equality of all living beings, they are not Buddhas after all. Naturally, they cannot see clearly. They will inevitably play with their status and look down on martial artists in the world who only practice martial arts and do not practice Zen. However, he does not care.
, as long as things are done well, as for face, it doesn’t matter.
Immediately, Master Fa Zhi welcomed Ling Feng to the Main Hall.
Ling Feng stepped into the main hall, stared at the huge golden body of Buddha, then clasped his hands together, lowered his head slightly, and saluted. His spiritual power quietly released, and he suddenly felt a huge energy emanating from the Buddha statue. The golden Buddha statue
Infinite golden light bloomed from his body, like the sun in the sky, and even Ling Feng's spiritual power felt like it was being burned. His expression changed slightly. He originally thought that the gods in this world were extinct, and that there were no traces of immortals or Buddhas. He didn't expect that the Buddha's
The light actually shines on this world. Although this Buddha's light cannot help Kasyapa Temple defeat the enemy, it is very restrained against evil masters such as Netherworld Palace.
"Donor Ling, what's wrong?"
Master Fa Zhi's eyesight is so good, he still noticed the subtle changes in Ling Feng's expression, so he asked.
Ling Feng smiled faintly and said: "Nothing, I just sensed a vast radiance from the Buddha's golden body."
Fazhi's expression changed slightly and said: "I have been practicing Buddhism for a while, but I have never sensed the radiance of the Buddha. Donor Ling can sense the brilliance of the Buddha as soon as he enters this hall. It can be seen that he is destined to be my Buddha. No wonder the jasper Buddha statue fell into your hands."
inside."
Ling Feng suddenly lost his composure. As long as the innate martial artist has practiced the visualization method and condensed his mental power, he can release it. How could he not feel the glory of the Buddha? He released his mental power again, but he could no longer sense it.
Was that vast and boundless light just now his own hallucination? It would be normal for an ordinary person to have hallucinations, but with his penetrating sword heart and condensed spirit, it is basically impossible for him to be confused by illusions. This thing is a bit weird!
Maybe the Buddha was also a compatriot who traveled through the earth. When he saw himself as a time traveler coming, he cast his eyes and took a look. Ling Feng secretly cursed a few times and stopped thinking about it.
After a while, Ling Feng followed Fa Zhi to a Zen room. He did not wait to see the presiding Fa Ming, but took out the jade Buddha statue from his arms and said straight to the point: "Master Fa Zhi, I will bring you the jade Buddha."
I want to exchange for an innate-level visualization technique. Can you make the decision?"
Fa Zhi looked slightly hesitant. Ordinary superior martial arts, or even innate-level internal skills and mental skills, were not of much importance to him. For Kashyapa Temple, the visualization method was the real Buddhist teaching.
However, he only hesitated for a moment before agreeing: "Yes! There is a "Arhat Technique of Subduing the Tiger" and an "Arhat Technique of Subduing the Dragon" in this temple, both of which are the seventh-grade authentic biography."
Because Kasyapa Temple had known for a long time that a jade Buddha fell into the hands of Qingjiao Ren Qingyao, but it had not been taken back because they could not reach an agreement. This time he could not delay it any longer.
As for the nine-level system, it is the grading system popular in the Great Chu Kingdom. The seventh-level is the third-level innate level. The true inheritance of Buddhism is divided into three levels, Buddha, Bodhisattva, and Arhat. The Arhat inheritance is the lowest level. Even so, it is extremely precious. Jia
There are hundreds of monks in Ye Temple, and only a few people can practice these two seventh-grade true texts. Ling Feng thought for a while, handed the jade Buddha statue to Fazhi, and said calmly: "Just the "Arhat Technique for Subduing the Dragon"!
Fazhi accepted the Jade Buddha and said with a somewhat surprised look: "Donor Ling is not afraid that the poor monk will be greedy and hide the Jade Buddha, but not give you the true secret?"
Ling Feng smiled faintly and said: "How can the centuries-old reputation of Kasyapa Temple be compared to a mere volume of scriptures?"
Fa Zhi put his hands together and said, "Thank you very much, donor, for the suggestion."
Immediately, Fazhi led Ling Feng to the Sutra Library.
The three-story, six-cornered Sutra Building contains tens of thousands of scriptures. There are both martial arts secrets and Buddhist scriptures.
The door was heavily guarded, with two extremely talented warrior monks guarding the door. There were also more than ten monks guarding the area nearby. Any thief who came to steal the scriptures would be doomed to fail.
After a while, Fa Zhi took out two sutras and handed them to him, saying: "This is "The Secret of Subduing the Dragon Arhat" and a volume of "Diamond Sutra". Donor Ling has a predestined relationship with my Buddha, so this volume of Buddhist sutra should be regarded as mine.
Gift. If the donor devotes himself to understanding it, he should gain something!"
Ling Feng took the sutra book, but he didn't care about it. He was not a monk, so he didn't want to learn Buddhist sutras. He opened the Secret of Subduing the Dragon Arhat and found some Arhat pictures in front of him. They were painted vividly and lifelike. There were nine pictures in total, but each one
The handprints of Arhat Subduing the Dragon are all different in each picture. The following are the mental formulas and annotations. Ling Feng looked at it carefully and made sure it didn't look fake, so he cupped his fist and said, "Thank you, Master!"
