Jinsha is still three hundred miles away from Piaoxiang City, the capital of Tianxiang Kingdom. There are two ways to get there. One is to continue taking a boat upstream through the inland river to Piaoxiang City, or to abandon the boat and board 6, and go to Piaoxiang via Route 6.
City, because ships are strictly controlled at the entrance of Jinsha, and all ships entering the inland must undergo a comprehensive inspection before entering. There are hundreds of ships queuing up at the port to enter the inland. It happens to be the peak season for entering the port recently. They initially estimated
After a while, if the ship is allowed to enter the inland river, it will take at least five days to wait, which will greatly delay their trip. ▲▲▼◆
After discussing it, Hu Xiaotian and Xu Mubai decided to board Route 6 in advance and go from Jinsha to Piaoxiang City along Route 6. This would save a lot of waiting time. Even if they traveled leisurely, it would only take them two days and nights at most to arrive.
Just enjoy the scenery along the way and appreciate the exotic customs.
Hu Xiaotian asked Xia Changming to stay on the ship. Firstly, he was responsible for commanding the ship. Secondly, he was responsible for taking care of Xiaorou. He waited patiently to enter the inland river and go to Piaoxiang City via the waterway. He, Xu Mubai, and Zhao Wusheng selected four samurai to accompany them, and started from Route 6
Go to.
Xu Mubai has been to Tianxiang Kingdom many times before and is very familiar with the situation here. He is also well aware of the surrounding places of interest and historical sites. Moreover, he is well-read and has a lot of relevant allusions. Even Zhao Wusheng is very knowledgeable about Hu Xiaotian's cousin.
I admire you endlessly.
At dusk that day, the group had left Jinsha for seventy miles. The sun set in the west. Under the golden afterglow in front of them, they saw a white pagoda forest on the horizon covered with golden light. Colorful prayer flags kept flying in the wind. Hu Xiaotian thought he was
He misread it, blinked his eyes, and was sure that what he saw was not an illusion. In his impression, Tianxiang Kingdom believed in the sea god, not Buddhism. How could it have such a large-scale tower forest here? He told his confusion
Xu Mubai.■
Xu Mubai smiled and said: "The pagoda forest ahead is the largest realm seal pagoda forest in the entire southeast, and it is also the only one. It is the place where Lingbao Dharma King passed away. Although few people in Tianxiang Kingdom believe in Buddhism, there are still Buddhist believers after all. One hundred and fifty
Ten years ago, His Holiness Lingbao was invited to travel from Tianzhu to Dakang to give lectures. However, when he was passing through here, he fell seriously ill due to the fatigue of traveling and traveling. Knowing that his time was near, His Holiness Lingbao asked his disciples to build a Buddha here.
The Dharma King Lingbao was seriously ill, but when he stepped onto the Buddhist altar to promote Buddhism, he immediately became energetic and solemn, surrounded by Buddha light and auspicious clouds. Someone reported this matter to the Tianxiang Kingdom at that time.
King, the king personally came from the royal capital and happened to hear the Dharma King Lingbao’s lecture on the last day. After hearing this, the King of Tianxiang Kingdom suddenly had an enlightenment and willingly worshiped the Dharma King as his teacher.”
At this point Xu Mubai paused.
Everyone listened leisurely and fascinated, and Zhao Wusheng couldn't help but ask: "What happened next?"
Xu Mubai said: "At that time, the Dharma King reached out and touched the king's head. Then he smiled and said: Do you understand? King Tianxiang was ecstatic and nodded heavily. Lingbao Dharma King proclaimed the Buddha's name, sat down and passed away with a smile.
King Tianxiang buried the body of the Dharma King in the largest pagoda here, and then regarded himself as a disciple of the Dharma King. Together with other disciples, he built a house as a temple here and spent ninety-nine and eighty-one days for the Dharma King. After King Tianxiang returned
Soon he left an imperial edict and drifted away. ◆■■◆● No one knew his specific whereabouts, but later it was heard that he had gone to Tianzhu to become a monk. King Tianxiang was angry with this tower forest and ordered that he be allowed to leave.
People destroyed it, but the army that came to carry out the order was struck by lightning just as they arrived. The general died on the spot. The queen did not believe in evil, but then she fell seriously ill. From then on, she never mentioned the destruction of Tallinn."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Dharma King Lingbao passed away here, but why are there so many pagodas?"
Xu Mubai said: "When Dharma King Lingbao came to promote Buddhism, he brought a total of seventy-two disciples. None of those disciples left after Dharma King passed away. They wanted to uphold Dharma King's will and promote Buddhism in Tianxiang Kingdom, but
Unfortunately, it was difficult to transfer the faith of the people of Tianxiang Kingdom, so all seventy-two disciples later passed away here, and until the last person passed away, their Buddhism was not promoted in Tianxiang Kingdom."
Zhao Wusheng said: "Isn't there another King Tianxiang?"
Xu Mubai said with a smile: "King Tianxiang is also the only one. Now it seems that this king should be a man of great wisdom and wisdom. After his enlightenment, he knew that it was impossible to implement Buddhism in Tianxiang country, so he abandoned the throne and went to Tianzhu to practice.
The remaining seventy-two disciples of Dharma King Bao insisted on staying here, and in the end they were unable to go back. However, this pagoda forest has become the only Buddhist site in Tianxiang Kingdom, and Buddhist disciples from all over the world come to visit it every year.
, not only because of worshiping the profound Buddhist teachings of Lingbao Dharma King, but also moved by the perseverance of him and his disciples. Over the past 150 years, the incense has continued, and this place has become a famous Buddhist holy place. But strangely, the heavenly incense
There is still no one in the country who believes in Buddhism. When I came here last time, there were 679 pagodas of various sizes. Now I am afraid there are even more. Some of these pagodas contain Buddha bones, and many are tooth pagodas.
."
Hu Xiaotian had some knowledge about the Tooth Pagoda, and knew that it was a group of Buddhist believers who went to the Holy Land to pay homage and died on the way before arriving at the Holy Land. In order to fulfill his wish, their companions removed the front teeth of the deceased and brought them to worship.
Some are taken back to their hometowns, and some are simply buried in pagoda holy places according to the wishes of the deceased, so there are more and more pagodas here.
Xu Mubai proposed to go to the pagoda to offer incense and pay homage. Although Hu Xiaotian was not a believer, he still admired the spirit of Lingbao Dharma King and his disciple, so he followed him.
After everyone offered incense and worship in the Tallinn, night had fallen. After a brief discussion, they decided to stay overnight in a nearby inn and wait until early tomorrow morning before setting off on their journey. Because of the proximity of the Tallinn, this place has also become a gathering place for monks and pilgrims from all over the world.
However, there are not many businesses around, and there is only an inn five miles away from Jingyin Talin.
Hu Xiaotian and others came to the inn, and when Zhao Wusheng went to book a room, another group of people came in outside. Judging from the way they were dressed, they were not from the Central Plains. Most of these twenty people were big men with broad shoulders and round waists. One of them had a black face and a beard.
With a big head covered with pigtails, he spoke in half-baked Chinese: "Sir, we've booked this inn tonight!" As he spoke, he smashed a gold ingot worth ten taels on the counter.
, a muffled sound came out.■
Zhao Wusheng had just asked the shopkeeper to ask for a room. Before the shopkeeper had time to reply, he didn't expect such a person to come out in the middle.
Although the shopkeeper was greedy for money, he could see that Hu Xiaotian and his group were not ordinary people. He said with a smile on his face: "Master, everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis. This gentleman comes first, don't be in a hurry."
, there are so many rooms in the shop..."
The big man rolled his eyes and said, "Don't you understand? We've booked your inn tonight! That's too little, isn't it?" He took another ingot of gold, and it seemed that he was really wealthy.
The shopkeeper looked at Zhao Wusheng in embarrassment. He wished that Zhao Wusheng would retreat when he saw the difficulty, but he did not dare to offend him. After all, he was here first.
Zhao Wusheng didn't get angry and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, we don't have many people, it's enough for you to prepare seven upper rooms for us."
The big man stared at Zhao Wusheng fiercely, trying to scare him away with his eyes, but Zhao Wusheng was a brave general who had been on the battlefield for many years, so how could he be frightened by him.
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "You two gentlemen, the room in the shop should be enough..."
Before he finished speaking, the big man stretched out his palm like a cattail leaf and slapped it on the counter. He actually pressed the gold ingot deeply into the counter with one palm. He glared at the shopkeeper and said, "Do you think my words are farts?"
Zhao Wusheng said: "It stinks! You have to distinguish the occasion when you fart."
The big man suddenly raised his fist as big as a jealous bowl and punched Zhao Wusheng in the face. He immediately struck out as soon as he disagreed. After all, he was a barbarian.
Zhao Wusheng refused to show weakness in front of everyone. He also punched out, and his fists collided head-on. With a "Peng!" sound, both of their bodies were shaken slightly. The big man's expression looked a little surprised. He was tall and tall.
Above Zhao Wusheng, I thought I could knock Zhao Wusheng away with just one punch, but in a head-to-head fight, the opponent didn't even lose the slightest bit.
The big man was obviously a fool. After his punch was blocked, he immediately launched a storm of attacks towards Zhao Wusheng.
Zhao Wusheng measured his strength with this punch, and he was not afraid of him in any head-to-head encounter. When it came to fighting skills and agility, Zhao Wusheng was far superior to him. The two of them fought in the lobby of the inn, although both sides had many companions.
, but no one had the intention to help. Hu Xiaotian and Xu Mubai saw that Zhao Wusheng was sure to win.
The big man relied on his brute force. Although his fists and feet were like the wind, he couldn't even touch a corner of Zhao Wusheng's clothes after fighting for a long time. In his eagerness, he grabbed tables, chairs, benches, flower pots and flower stands. Whatever he could hold in his hands was a burst of
littering.
The entire lobby was smashed into a mess by him in an instant. The shopkeeper was so anxious that he screamed repeatedly, but he didn't dare to get close when he saw how fierce the fight was.
Zhao Wusheng had teased the big man enough, and took advantage of his forward momentum to get out of the way, went around behind him, and kicked the big man's butt hard. The big man's forward momentum was already strong enough, but Zhao Wusheng was
This kick made him even more unable to hold his feet back. He staggered forward, lost his balance and fell to the ground with a thud. Not only was he disgraced, but his hands were also scratched by broken porcelain fragments. It was extremely embarrassing.
Hu Xiaotian's side suddenly burst into laughter.
The big man was ashamed and annoyed. He got up from the ground, pulled out the scimitar from his waist with a clang, gritted his teeth and said: "Wow! I will definitely cut your head off!" The warrior who came with him also said
One by one they drew their weapons.
Hu Xiaotian's eyes were sharp. These barbarians were really rampant and they dared to run wild without even looking where they were.
At this moment, a deep voice came from outside: "Daharu, don't be so presumptuous!"
