Chapter 265 While watching the battle, Emperor Zhenwu is invited to join the battle.
However, Xu Taiping heard that the voice should come from Master Kassapa, not the ancient Buddha Kassapa in the minds of these abbots.
The two seem to be one, but they are actually very different.
Master Kassapa is just a spiritual thought of the ancient Buddha Kassapa. After being separated from the ancient Buddha Kassapa for hundreds of thousands of years, he has already become an independent existence.
At the same time, its power is not as powerful as the real ancient Buddha Kasyapa.
So just listen to his promise, it's hard to count.
"Please also know that the person standing in front of you is the incarnation of Shura, the heavenly protector of the law, who now walks in the world on my behalf as Xu Taiping, a disciple of Zhenwu Tianqing Xuanzong. Seeing him is like seeing me."
At this time, the extremely majestic voice sounded again.
"We must strictly abide by the teachings of the ancient Buddha Kasyapa!"
Upon hearing this, several abbots kowtowed in unison.
When Xu Taiping heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times and he thought to himself: ??
"You're such a good Master Kasyapa. You never lie to monks every day, but now you tell lies without blinking an eye."
Thinking of this, Xu Taiping suddenly had an idea, and then tried to use his spiritual thoughts to transmit the message to Master Nagasyapa:
"Master Kasyapa, what are you trying to do now?"
Originally, Xu Taiping just wanted to test it out, but Master Kasyapa actually responded - "To make Taiping Donor laugh, these monks in Youyuntian have been away from Kasyapa's ancient Buddhism for many years. Huoyun Temple, which was once the first Buddhist temple in Youyuntian,
Under the guidance of the abbot, they collectively became possessed by demons and became one of the three major demon caves in Youyuntian today, so the young monk used the name of the ancient Buddha to frighten them and others."
After hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately understood.
"But Master Kasyapa, there is no need for you to drag me into this, right? After all, I am not a member of your Buddhist sect."
Xu Taiping said helplessly.
"This is also a helpless move, little monk. Now I have only repaired two of the Seven Laws of the Thousand Buddha Kingdom. My magic power cannot appear in front of them like it often does today. Like today, when I appeared this time, the little monk directly demolished half of the room.
This is how we can do it. Therefore, we can only rely on you, Taiping, who is connected with my Buddha, to communicate with them."
Master Kasyapa replied.
"But I have already used that string of Buddha beads that symbolize the equality of all beings as a magic weapon for Pilu Temple's magic circle. I'm afraid the connection between you and me will also be severed."
Xu Taiping is not an unkind person, so he is still willing to help with this small favor.
"Taiping Donor, you are too worried. From the day you restore the Buddha statue, the power of equality among all living beings will follow you. The string of beads is just a manifestation of the condensed Dharma. Even if it disappears now, it will gather again after a while.
"
Master Kasyapa explained.
Xu Taiping was stunned when he heard this.
According to what Master Kasyapa meant, he might not be involved with Buddhism for the rest of his life.
"Almsgiver Taiping, this matter is also good for you."
"For example, as long as the incense in the several Buddhist temples in Izumo Kingdom dedicated to the ancient Buddha Kasyapa becomes more and more prosperous, your power of equality for all living beings will become stronger and stronger."
"In addition, although the Zen sect is weak in Youyuntian, the five major Zen monasteries in Izumo Kingdom can be regarded as a powerful force in Youyuntian. It will be much more convenient for you to travel in Youyuntian."
As if he was afraid that Xu Taiping would be dissatisfied, Master Nagasyapa very carefully introduced to Xu Taiping the benefits of his status as a heavenly protector.
"Master Kasyapa, I understand what you said. I only have one question to ask you now."
Xu Taiping responded to Master Nagasyapa in his heart.
"Taiping Donor, please ask."
Hearing what Xu Taiping said, Master Kasyapa's tone suddenly became much more relaxed.
"Can you please pay me the reward for rescuing the Buddha at Pilu Temple this time?"
Xu Taiping asked.
Upon hearing this, Master Kasyapa suddenly became silent.
Then Xu Taiping heard the majestic figure above his head ring again:
"You should take care of yourself. If you have anything important to do, you can tell the Heavenly Protector and he will pass it on to me."
After saying this, the Dharma image hidden in the clouds suddenly disappeared.
It was obvious that Master Kasyapa had escaped.
But just when Xu Taiping felt speechless, a string of Buddhist beads appeared on his wrist, and at the same time a spiritual thought appeared in his mind——
"Taiping Donor, this is a meditation seal that can help you understand the technique. There are nine beads in total. Each bead can help you enter meditation for a hundred days. The remaining two seals will be presented to you by the young monk when the Thousand Buddhas Kingdom Buddhist Temple is built.
"
This spiritual thought was naturally left by Master Kasyapa.
However, the cautious tone of his words made Xu Taiping feel a little funny, and the resentment in his heart about being owed money was reduced a lot.
Just when Xu Taiping thought that Kassapa's words in his spiritual thoughts had ended, another voice of Kassapa sounded in Xu Taiping's mind——
"Taiping Almsgiver, the monk has just sensed that you will encounter something unknown within a hundred days at most. This ominous sign may very well cost you your life. Please be careful when dealing with it!"
This time, Kasyapa's tone became very urgent, even a little nervous.
"Encountering something bad within a hundred days?"
Xu Taiping looked stunned.
Although at least five of Master Kasyapa's ten sentences were untrue, Xu Taiping felt that he would not lie about such a life-related matter.
After all, he still has many things to ask of himself.
Just as Xu Taiping was thinking about whether he should inform Fairy Lingyue about this and discuss it with her, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on the back of his hand, as if a red-hot iron had been stamped on it.
of pain.
"Taiping, wrap your hands and don't look at it!"
Just when Xu Taiping wanted to see what was wrong with the back of his hand, Fairy Lingyue's urgent voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Sister Lingyue, what's going on?"
After hearing what Fairy Lingyue said, Xu Taiping hugged his hand with his sleeves, and then said goodbye to the five abbots while asking Fairy Lingyue in his heart.
"Taiping, there is something I have been hiding from you."
Fairy Lingyue said with some guilt.
"Sister Lingyue, what exactly is going on?"
Xu Taiping didn't particularly care about the fact that Fairy Lingyue was hiding something from him. After all, everyone had their own secrets.
Seeing that Xu Taiping had no dissatisfaction at all, Fairy Lingyue felt warm in her heart, and immediately said with a hint of solemnity in her voice:
"This time I came to Youyuntian, I made a big gamble with my own life and yours." However, Xu Taiping could tell that this voice should come from Master Kasyapa, not the Kasyapa in these abbots' minds.
Ancient Buddha.
