In front of Xiangguo Temple, eminent monks were giving lectures and there was a huge crowd.
There was no sound of scriptures, only noisy sounds. Originally this was a grand Buddhist event, but because there were so many people coming, it seemed a bit tacky. It was like buying vegetables on the street, without any peace or tranquility.
However, in this environment, Master Shi Kong still insisted on sacrificing his life to give alms, reciting the Diamond Sutra, blessing the people of the capital with mind power, and protecting them from being harmed by the evil spirits of the capital.
The people who come here, whether they are traffickers and lackeys, good and evil people, dignitaries, beggars and street children, are all of equal quality. Master Shi Kong will not refuse to bless you with the Dharma just because of your low status, nor will he
Because of your noble status, I will bless you one more time.
In his eyes, all people are equal, and there is no distinction between rich and poor, high or low.
Li Xiuyuan looked with a heavy expression as he watched Master Shi Kong's vitality slipping away little by little.
No one will stop Master Shi Kong from giving his last lecture. This is the path he chose and should be respected.
And as time gradually passed.
Li Xiuyuan used his divine eye skills to see that there was a little golden light dormant above the heads of many people. The golden light seemed to be shining like scriptures, and it also seemed like a Vajra God was sleeping.
Although the light is dim, it is extremely eye-catching.
I thought that this kind of lecture would go on very smoothly.
But just an hour later, a group of soldiers came from nowhere under the mountain gate of Xiangguo Temple.
There were not many people, only twenty or thirty people, but most of them were armed with swords and guns and wearing the imperial court's standard armor. They should be the imperial guards stationed in the capital.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, everyone, please get out of the way." The soldier shouted, separated the crowd roughly, and squeezed out a passage.
"What's going on? Isn't this the forbidden army of the imperial court? Why did they come to Xiangguo Temple?"
"Are there nobles from the royal palace also coming to Xiangguo Temple to listen to scriptures?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Didn't the imperial court enshrine the Imperial Master? I heard that the Imperial Master was more effective than Master Shikong of Xiangguo Temple. All the royal relatives and relatives went to Cihang Hall to listen to the Imperial Master's sermons. Where could they come?
here."
The people nearby were talking a lot and pointing at the rude soldiers.
At this time, a tall, nine-foot man, wearing a general's armor, riding a bay-red horse, and wearing a cape, ran towards us menacingly.
While running over, he yelled: "Shikong of Xiangguo Temple? Today the Japanese general is in pain again. It is you who are preaching again. People are about to die and you are still so restless. Why don't you give these common people
What's the use of preaching? Why don't you shut up quickly and prepare for your funeral in peace, General?
I've tolerated you a lot, but this time you went too far."
"No, it's General Yasha." Zhang Bangchang, who was standing next to him, saw the general's expression suddenly change and exclaimed.
General Yaksha?
Li Xiuyuan frowned and looked at the general who was charging towards him on horseback. He saw that this general was taller and more powerful than ordinary people. He also had an ugly appearance. The most important thing was that he had two slightly raised horns on his forehead and his mouth was open in anger.
When shouting, his fangs are exposed, and he has a bit of a yaksha posture, which makes people
Look at it with fear, and feel fear in your heart.
"Who is General Yasha?" he asked.
"Brother Li doesn't know. General Yaksha's original name is Xu Bao. He is a general stationed in the capital. He was personally named General Yaksha by the imperial family. He has great authority in the army and can mobilize a hundred soldiers without asking for instructions." Qian Jun said.
.
Zhang Bangchang on the side shook his head slightly and said: "Brother Qian only knows one thing but not the other. The origin of General Yaksha is quite legendary. This matter has to start with his father Xu Biao. It is said that his father Xu Biao originally
He was a businessman from the south. He accidentally entered the country of Yaksha during a business trip and was captured by a group of people.
A nemesis took a fancy to her, and Xu Biao was also very lucky. Not only was he not eaten by a naksha, he also married that nun and had a son. They gave birth to a son and a daughter. The boy is Xu Bao."
"Because his mother is a Yaksha, he is an alien rather than a human being. This Xu Bao was born with the appearance of a Yaksha, and he is extremely powerful and can tear tigers and leopards alive. In addition, his father's upbringing was pretty good, and he did not learn the Yaksha.
His character was like that of an ordinary person, so he joined the army and performed meritorious service, relying on his own
It’s extraordinary, and that’s why we have achieved what we have today.”
Zhang Bangchang has always been very interested in such anecdotes. He has included the affairs of Xu Bao and his father Xu Biao in his miscellaneous notes, so he knows it very clearly.
Qian Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "What is the Yaksha Kingdom? I think it is mostly using ghosts and gods to cover up its identity. This Yaksha General just looks a little strange. He is not the son of the mother Yaksha."
"A person's appearance can be different, but a person's ability cannot be faked. This Xu Bao has the strength of a yaksha, which is beyond the reach of human beings." Zhang Bangchang shook his head, but he did not think it was fake.
After listening to what the two said, Li Xiuyuan got a little understanding of General Yaksha.
The child born between Ren and Yaksha can actually become a general in the capital.
No matter what, it can be seen that General Yaksha has extraordinary abilities.
At this moment, I saw General Yaksha running towards me on horseback. The people he passed were so frightened that they backed away when they saw his appearance. Even the timid people simply collapsed on the ground with their legs weak, and some children even
I was so frightened that I burst into tears.
"Master, it's Xu Bao." Bai Yun said nervously, "He came to interfere with Master's lecture again."
Master Shikong smiled and said: "He has the blood of Yaksha. He is a first-class evil ghost and evil god. He is born to hate scriptures. Every time I give a lecture, he will have a splitting headache and cannot sleep or eat well. He has to bring troops here as a last resort."
He just stopped me from preaching, and his intention was not bad. If I didn’t preach, this Yaksha general would
When did you come to trouble Xiangguo Temple?"
"We should be more tolerant about this matter. It is a blessing to have such a Yaksha General in the capital."
"What the master said is that after receiving the teaching, the disciple almost became greedy and angry." Bai Yun clasped his hands and lowered his head.
General Yasha had soldiers clearing the way, and finally arrived in front of the palace. A pair of eyes glowing with green light glared at Shi Kong: "Monk, you are going to die, why are you still fighting with me? What kind of scriptures are you going to preach at this time?
I know that the sound of your lecture just now reached this general’s house.
I have gone, and I have given you a splitting headache and unspeakable pain. If you still have any compassion in your heart, just stop preaching, otherwise I will seal off your Xiangguo Temple today."
"Amitabha, general, please calm down. This is the last time the poor monk lectures. Can you make it easier for the poor monk to finish this last lecture? The poor monk promises that he will never disturb the general's peace next time." Shikong
The master said.
"No, your sutra this time is ten times more powerful than usual. If you continue to talk like this, I will be killed by your sutra. Are you trying to save people or killing people?" General Yasha shouted.
Although he looks arrogant, he is not without wisdom. He speaks in an organized and thoughtful manner.
If he didn't have brains, Xu Bao wouldn't be able to be a general.
"Monks don't lie. This is indeed the last time for the general to be general. Moreover, the monk's Diamond Sutra cannot kill the general. The general only has half of the blood of Yaksha. The sound of the sutra can only make the general feel bored and have a headache. It is not fatal.
, otherwise the general would not have been able to do so easily.
I broke into the Buddhist pure land of Xiangguo Temple."
Master Shikong said.
If Xu Bao was a real Yaksha, he would have been protected by the Buddhist teachings of Xiangguo Temple and protected by his mind power.
"You monk, don't try to deceive me again. Your life will not last long, but you still have junior brothers and apprentices, and there is also a monk named Kasyapa in your temple. He had sex with me last time.
The general has fought a battle and is very capable. After you die, someone else will definitely recite sutras for you. In the past,
It’s okay for me, the general, to endure it, but this time, I will definitely not tolerate it anymore.”
General Yasha was really noisy by this scripture. He said very irritably at this moment: "Come here, drive away all the people here. There may be followers of the Wutong Sect here who are causing trouble. Let me seal the Xiangguo Temple first."
He waved his hand and gave the order.
We are really serious about sealing down Xiangguo Temple.
"Yes, General."
After receiving the order, the soldiers under his command immediately began to drive away the people, closed the temples, and forcibly prevented Master Shi Kong from continuing to recite sutras.
