As the biggest black hand in the entire world, the movements of the Wuyue Sword Sect certainly could not escape the eyes of the Jin Yiwei. From the time Hu Qianzhong went north to the four sects jointly denounced the Qingcheng Sect, Lu Hanjiang had already received the news at the same time.
He looked at the documents sent by Pegasus, and it took him a while to remember which corner the Lin Ye trio had emerged from.
In this matter, Jin Yiwei did not make any extra arrangements, and the reality was as they expected. Once the three of them were caught in this increasingly dark smear, it would basically spell the end of their careers in the world.
Lu Hanjiang had no time to deal with them at the beginning, and his subordinate Ying Wushang, who was in charge of the matter, was also not too troublesome. People in the Jianghu hated traitors the most, especially those who colluded with the imperial court. They called this a conspiracy.
So from the time Ying Wushang came to visit, these three people were destined to have no future. However, what Lu Hanjiang didn't expect was that after Ma Shiyuan and Yu Buping had gone back and forth, they actually hooked up with Hu Qianzhong, which was an unexpected surprise.
"Xiao Lu, where are we going?"
On the carriage, Shangluo, who was bored, was playing with the building blocks that Lu Hanjiang had brought. He accidentally broke off an arm of his puppet, which made Lu Hanjiang gasp in pain.
"Don't waste my good stuff."
Lu Hanjiang snatched back his puppet with a dark face. After taking a deep breath to calm down, he said, "I'm going to meet a friend."
Jinyiwei has the most extensive intelligence network in the world, so Lu Hanjiang will naturally not miss Tianquan's movements. The reason why the Qingcheng faction has not been able to contact anyone until now has something to do with his behind-the-scenes operations.
After the Hengshan incident, Tianquan did not continue to go north. This was wise, because if he went further north, he would soon reach the Xuantian Sect's sphere of influence.
Although Tianquan was concerned about Qian Xiaoxiao's safety, he also knew that with his current abilities, he couldn't even deal with a mere Xuantian Cult protector, let alone go to their lair to save people.
So Tianquan chose to go south, and he would meet Lu Hanjiang who was about to go north soon.
However, Lu Hanjiang had no intention of meeting him. He came here to visit a friend who he had dealt with a long time ago but had never met.
The real master behind the Fox Fairy Tower is Geshe Larampa.
This is not the name of a person. If Lu Hanjiang remembers it correctly, it should be the name of a position in foreign Buddhism, which is the highest level.
Before the death of Monk Bai Jing of Huxian Tower, he finally made up his mind to let the forces behind him have a talk with him, so he sent someone to deliver the letter with the address and signature.
Lu Hanjiang also didn't expect that this group of foreign monks not only had big plans, but also had frightening courage. This Geshe Lalampa actually set the meeting place in a Buddhist temple, and the location of this Buddhist temple
The popularity is not low, or in other words, quite high, and its name isββ
Shaolin Temple.
Lu Hanjiang and Yongle Shangluo rode a carriage together and arrived at the North Shaolin Temple, which dominated the righteous martial arts world. The huge gate was like a grand gate. Under the kind-hearted guidance of the Zhike monk, countless devout believers crowded the climbing stairs.
The peak of the incense was staggering, and Lu Hanjiang sighed emotionally: "Mountains of gold and silver have created countless orchids, but I don't know if these gods and Buddhas in the sky can really save thousands of people in the world."
As soon as these words came out, the two girls had different reactions. Yongle was still in awe of gods and Buddhas, so she quietly pulled Lu Hanjiang's clothes to signal him not to be too rude in the land of Buddhism.
Shangluo on the other side rolled her eyes and said: "How is that possible? If we really want to save all sentient beings, why don't they save themselves first?"
Lu Hanjiang chuckled, did not comment on the two people's responses, and led them towards the mountain gate.
"I have met three donors." Zhike Monk came forward to greet them with a calm attitude.
He noticed Lu Hanjiang and the other three from a distance. They were all dressed in fine clothes and carriages. They were very noble. The two women and one man were both of extraordinary bearing. Their origins must have been extraordinary. As a visiting monk of the Shaolin Temple, he could not be rude.
"Little monk, is there a real Buddha in your temple?" Lu Hanjiang took advantage of others as soon as he opened his mouth. This Zhike monk was obviously older than him.
The monk who knew the guest smiled and replied: "My Buddha is everywhere."
Lu Hanjiang said oh meaningfully, and then asked: "Everywhere? Is this really true?"
The monk who knew the guest felt his heart skip a beat, but he still replied: "Monks don't tell lies."
Lu Hanjiang nodded, and then asked: "In that case, young monk, can you tell me, can this true Buddha exist in heaven?"
The monk who knew the guest frowned lightly and replied: "Buddha's Dharma is boundless, the world is centered on one's mind, the Dharma Realm is leisurely, the Buddha is in the west, and the Tathagata Self-sufficient saves all living beings, so the Buddha is naturally in heaven."
Lu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows and asked again: "It's true that the Buddha is in heaven, but can the Buddha be on earth?"
The monk who knew the guest was startled. After hesitating for a moment, he replied: "The earth is the source of all things, and the saints and sages of the three religions are based on the same principle. The Buddha is naturally on the earth."
"My little master is profound in Buddhism and deserves to be a disciple of Shaolin. In that case, I have one last question -" Lu Hanjiang smiled softly while stroking his palms, with a deeper smile in his eyes. He asked again: "Dare I ask my little master, is the Buddha in people's hearts?"
"
"This..." Zhike Monk was trembling with fear, sweating profusely, and could not answer.
"Amitabha."
Just when the young monk was in trouble, an old monk suddenly intervened. He stood up and said: "The donor is the noble stomach of Jiutian, why bother to embarrass us and other outsiders."
γ
"I've seen the elder." When the monk Zhike saw the old monk in red cassock, he quickly bowed and saluted.
"Hui Wu, if your Buddha's mind is not stable, go to the Discipline Hall and copy the Buddhist scriptures ten times." The old monk said slowly.
"Yes, I would like to follow the elder's arrangements." Huiwu, the monk who knew the guest, bowed again, then turned and left.
Lu Hanjiang watched with interest as the old monk taught the young monk a lesson. After he finished speaking, he asked, "What do you call me master?"
"Lao Na Lingjing has met three donors." The old monk replied.
"It turns out to be Master Lingjing, whose name I have admired for a long time," Lu Hanjiang said politely, and then asked with a smile: "I just talked about some Buddhism with the disciples of your temple. Master, will you mind?"
Monk Lingjing looked at Lu Hanjiang and replied calmly: "The donor is joking. Buddha is not just a family talk. Everyone in the world can talk about it. It's just that he has no wisdom and no knowledge of the Buddha's Dharma. If the donor wants to, why don't I talk to him about it."
Lu Hanjiang's behavior just now was like someone asking you "Where are you from?" and you directly replied "Where are you from?" This is obviously looking for trouble.
If Ruo Huiwu just said something to the people of the world, he was afraid that the other party would slap him with a backhand. Therefore, Monk Lingjing made it clear with one word Lu Hanjiang's origin, and only the children of officials would use such methods.
Lingjing's alertness was obvious, but Lu Hanjiang didn't care. He was just teasing the monk, and he had no intention of chewing the hard nut of Northern Shaolin himself.
"Master Lingjing is joking. How can I, a secular person, dare to go over my shoulder and talk to the master about Buddhism?"
Lu Hanjiang waved his hand, and then said the original intention of his trip: "I came here this time because a guest made an appointment with me to meet you in your temple. That friend should have been here a few years ago. It has been a long time ago.
For several months...I wonder if he is still in the temple now?"
Lingjing was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes changed when he looked at Lu Hanjiang. He said, "So it's you. Please follow me to the back mountain. Master Bugui has been waiting for a long time."
