Chapter 275: Encountering a Demon Seed, Dongfang Family’s Transformation Pill
Pilu Temple Zen Monastery.
Inside the Zen room of Abbot Huiming.
Guangze, the abbot of Prajna Temple, Hongci, the abbot of Fenyin Temple, Zhiqing, the abbot of Tzuji Temple, Qingde, the abbot of Baima Temple, and Huiming himself, the abbot of Pilu Temple, were all sitting around a small tea table.
A burner of incense was lit on the tea table, a pot of tea and five teacups were placed.
And a jade plate used for sound transmission.
Although the five abbots gathered together, none of them seemed to have any intention of talking. They all had their eyes lowered, chanting Buddhist sutras in a low voice, and twirling the beads on their strings one by one.
The golden light transformed by the Buddha's Dharma blends with the green smoke from the incense burner and floats in this small Zen room.
If ordinary monks were to see it, they would definitely be amazed by this rare sight of an eminent monk enlightening the Dharma.
But for Huiming, the abbot of Pilu Temple, this is a kind of torture.
"I said, senior brothers, shouldn't it be time for you to go back?"
After the last Buddhist bead was removed from the bracelet, Huiming finally couldn't help but opened his eyes and glanced at the four people in front of him.
"Not urgent."
"It's still early."
"That's right."
"Um."
The four abbots replied without raising their eyes.
"Senior Brother Hirozawa, there are demons all over the Izumo Kingdom right now, and the Prajna Temple is in a dangerous place like Tuoyan Pass. If it is besieged by demons, without you, senior brother, to guard the temple, I'm afraid there will be trouble."
Huiming directly named Guangze, the abbot of Prajna Temple.
"Junior brother, please don't try to persuade me again. I won't leave until the Heavenly Protector summons me."
Guangze put down his hand and opened his eyes to look at Huiming.
After saying this, he looked at the jade messenger plate on the table and said:
"Unless you agree to let me take away this jade dish of communication."
"no!"
As soon as Guangze's words came out, the other three abbots all refused in unison on Huiming's behalf.
"Amitabha……"
Huiming sighed helplessly.
"By the way, it's been almost three days. It's time for the Heavenly Protector to arrive in Nanchu, right?"
The abbot of White Horse Temple asked De to pinch his fingers and calculate.
"With that secret teleportation array, it takes three days to reach Nanchu."
Guangze, the abbot of Prajna Temple, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"Now that we've arrived, it's time to summon us and report that we're safe. Our Zen sect doesn't even have a temple with strong incense in Nanchu. The incense depends entirely on the Buddhist temples built by believers. Not to mention the Lord Protector of the Dharma, even if it's me
Wait, your magic power will be greatly reduced if you go there."
Zhiqing, the abbot of Tzu Chi Temple, said with some worry.
"Zhiqing's worry is not unreasonable. It doesn't matter if he meets ordinary monks. If he meets those old monsters in the city, I'm afraid Lord Protector Tian will suffer a loss. After all, he is just an incarnation at the moment."
Abbot Qingde nodded in approval.
"It would be nice if I brought Shura Armor with me."
Huiming, the abbot of Pilu Temple, said with some regret.
br "It's useless. Unless the Buddhist temple dedicated to the ancient Buddha Kassapa is built in the capital of Southern Chu, the Shura Armor is just an ordinary spiritual armor. It is dispensable to the Heavenly Protector."
Hongci, the abbot of Fenyin Temple who had been silent until now, also spoke.
Upon hearing this, all the abbots couldn't help but have a look of worry in their eyes.
The Youyuntian Zen Sect finally renewed its relationship with Buddha and was given the title of Buddha's son.
If something went wrong with the Heavenly Protector, they were worried that the ancient Buddha Kasyapa would take away the Buddha's son again in his anger.
"Although there are no decent Buddhist temples in Southern Chu, I, a disciple of Prajna Temple, have been teaching Dharma in the capital for many years and have made many good connections. If we can get in touch with the Heavenly Protector, we will definitely be able to assist him."
Guangze, the abbot of Prajna Temple, raised the corners of his mouth slightly at this time and said with a trace of pride in his eyes.
Hearing these words, Huiming, the abbot of Pilu Temple, suddenly thought, no wonder you are so persistent in waiting for the message from the Heavenly Protector.
"The folk customs of Southern Chu are fierce, the practice of martial arts is prevalent, and the disciples of Prajna Temple are good at foreign martial arts such as Vajra Kung Fu, so it is indeed suitable for spreading the Dharma in Southern Chu."
Abbot Hongci nodded.
"Amitabha, to be honest with you, my disciple Chongyang is already the chief instructor of the Golden Sword Guard. In a few days, Nanchu will launch troops against the demons in the Black Wind Ridge area of the Blood Rain Forest. Not surprisingly, Chongyang is
Commander. If the demons in Heifeng Ridge can be successfully exterminated, Prajna Temple is expected to build the first Buddhist temple in the capital city of Southern Chu."
Guangze, the abbot of Prajna Temple, said in a leisurely tone.
Upon hearing this, the other four abbots, including the abbot of Pilu Temple, were all shocked.
They did not expect that Prajna Temple would do such a big thing without knowing it.
"Amitabha, our Zen sect has been trapped in this corner of Izumo Country for nearly a thousand years. We finally have a chance to get out. Brother Hirosawa, you should remember this as a great contribution."
The abbot of Pilu Temple thanked him sincerely.
Several other abbots also echoed sincerely.
"This is also the credit of all the brothers. Hundreds of years have passed since the great catastrophe of Huoyun Temple, when Master taught us the Dharma on his deathbed. If it hadn't been for the support of all brothers until now, I'm afraid that our Zen sect would have been destroyed long ago.
Youyuntian is extinct."
"Now that the ancient Buddha Kassapa has appeared again, and the relationship with Youyundian Buddha continues, it is a great opportunity for me to revive the Zen sect."
"Among them, Lord Heavenly Protector will be our key to reviving Zen Buddhism."
"The ancient Buddha Kassapa also said when he appeared as a saint, to see the Heavenly Protector is to see him in person, and the Heavenly Protector is the embodiment of the Buddha's fate."
"Therefore, we must carefully consider every word and deed of Lord Protector of Heaven and treat it with caution. Sometimes Buddhist principles are hidden in just a few words."
Guangze, the abbot of Prajna Temple, explained it very carefully.
"Amitabha, these words of Senior Brother Guangze are truly enlightening."
Huiming, the abbot of Pilu Temple, clasped his palms together again and sincerely thanked the abbot of Prajna Temple.
At this moment, golden light suddenly overflowed from the jade messenger dish placed on the coffee table.
"The Lord Protector of Heaven has sent a message!"
Guangze, the abbot of Prajna Temple, was the first to react. Pilu Temple Zen Temple.
Inside the Zen room of Abbot Huiming.
