The current emperors of the Southern Dynasties also only respected Buddhism. Whether they were the generals of the Southern Dynasty's border troops or the literati and poets of the Southern Dynasties, they were full of complaints about the Southern Dynasty emperor's massive construction projects and the continuous construction of Buddhist temples. Especially in Jiankang, repaired ancient temples and newly built Buddhist temples were everywhere.
It can be seen that monks in the streets are as common as ordinary foot traffickers.
It is not uncommon for some eminent monks from famous temples in the Southern Dynasties to travel in Jiankang City. However, most of the monks in the Southern Dynasties were frugal. Many eminent monks from ancient temples traveled on foot, rarely using sedan chairs or chariots. At most, they followed the monks.
Magnificent.
Now that the Tuoba clan's tantric Buddhist sect appears, it looks like a luxurious and jewel-like style.
The whole body of this chariot is also made of rosewood. Rosewood is originally heavier than ordinary wood. Moreover, the chariot is inlaid with turquoise, red coral, clams, pearls and other treasures, and is made of brightly colored materials.
The abalone shell is polished and covered, and the appearance is even more brilliant.
On the top of the chariot is a huge crystal bead. The hanging curtain that cascades down from the bottom of the crystal bead is made of pure black yak hair. This kind of black hanging curtain is very common in parties, and is also used for the door curtains of ordinary people.
This kind of material is used, but the hanging curtain of this Buddhist sect is embroidered with gold and silver threads, with densely packed scriptures embroidered on it.
The old monk in the hanging curtain has a vague stature. He naturally looks very old, but there is a faint purple light on his body. Through the hanging curtain, you can see that he is wearing a purple-gold monk.
robe.
The charming fragrance hits your face.
Golden flowers paved the road until they reached Xia Ba Ying and Lin Yi's side.
The women in white sheepskin jackets who were scattering flowers, whether intentionally or unintentionally, seemed to scatter more golden flowers in front of Lin Yi than in front of Xia Ba Ying.
Lin Yi took a careful look at these golden flowers.
He initially thought these golden flowers were chrysanthemums. At first glance, they looked very similar, but upon closer inspection, each leaf was extremely wide and thick, making them look like a shrunken golden lotus.
"This is Folian."
A voice full of vicissitudes of life rang out, "It is a holy flower that can only grow on the most primitive glacier-covered mountains, but also in areas where there are gushing fires, at the intersection of fertile black soil and ice and snow."
Hearing this sound, the twelve yellow-robed monks carrying the chariot stopped in unison. They were pulled by a strange force. The curtains of the chariot parted toward both sides, revealing the interior.
The figure of the sounding Buddha.
Just like the ebb of the tide, almost all the Tuoba people present retreated. Only Tuoba Xiongxin stood respectfully on the side of the chariot. There were only a dozen ascetics left around, together with the people carrying the chariot.
The twelve yellow-robed monks all retreated back the same way after putting down their chariots.
Lin Yi's eyes slowly swept over the dozen or so ascetics who were waiting quietly, and finally fell on the Buddhist monk sitting on the chariot.
Tuoba Xiongxin's initial confidence was not unreasonable. Among the dozen or so ascetics who stayed, there were at least three practitioners in the spiritual realm.
This Buddha is indeed very old, with wrinkles on his face, and his eyes are a little cloudy, and all his bones are somewhat deformed due to aging. Except for his rickets, even if he is sitting upright at this time,
It gives people the feeling of a crooked old tree.
Like ordinary ascetics, he doesn't have hair, but the top of his bald head is not an ordinary ring seal, but a slightly sunken strange pattern, like a map. But if you look closely, you find that it also looks like a map.
It is a city map, with lines crisscrossing it in a very regular manner.
"This is the mandala. In any Tantric teachings, the mandala is the city where the Buddha lives. It has the highest divine power to suppress evil. Of course, only the highest Tantric leader is qualified to carve such a pattern on his head.
"
Seeing Lin Yi's eyes lingering on the top of his head, the Tuoba clan's Buddhist sect looked at him and said slowly.
Although his voice was full of vicissitudes of life, it seemed very gentle and made people feel very comfortable listening to it.
"Then you guys talk?"
Luo Jilian's voice sounded a little abruptly at this moment. She looked at Tuoba Xiongxin provocatively and said, "Lord Tuoba, do you want to settle the rest of us first?"
The more rude and arrogant she behaved, the more Tuoba Xiongxin believed that she had such qualifications and that she was indeed a representative of the Feiting royal family.
Tuoba Xiongxin had already learned about her personality before, and now he was afraid that she would say something rude in front of the Buddha, so he didn't even hesitate at all, and shouted twice in a low voice towards the back.
Two generals of the Tuoba clan rushed from behind the gate of the second city gate and made an invitation gesture to Luo Jilian.
"You stay here with him?"
Luo Jilian asked Bai Yuelu quietly, and when Bai Yuelu nodded, she said nothing more and followed the two Tuoba clan generals into the city with most of the Xiaba clan.
Lin Yi, Xia Ba Ying, and Bai Yue Lu left behind only a dozen people, all of whom were cultivators of the Xia Ba tribe.
When the footsteps subsided, Buddha, who was waiting quietly on the chariot, raised his head slightly. He moved his left hand slightly, stretched out the wide sleeve of the monk's robe with his left hand, turned his palm upward, and in his hand was holding a fist-sized orb.
This orb has a dim yellow color, like the afterglow of the setting sun. Its surface looks as soft as wax oil, and the inside of the orb is full of threads, as if there are many tiny seaweeds solidified inside.
Lin Yi turned his head and glanced at Bai Yuelu. He didn't know what kind of bead it was, nor what the Buddha's move meant. But when Bai Yuelu and him looked at each other, their eyes were obviously confused, and they were obviously confused.
Know the origin of this bead in the hands of the Tuoba Buddhist Sect.
"Dangxiang is a vast area with few people, and the outer area is vast. It's just that there is a lack of people to develop it. Since the Xiaba tribe has risen, it would be a good thing if they could share the control of Dangxiang with the Tuoba clan." At this moment, the Buddha Sect was already looking at him and Xia Ba.
Ba Ying opened his mouth, and as he spoke, a soft aura of true energy also rippled around his body.
This true energy aura also has a sense of aging, and it does not exceed the realm of spiritual thoughts. Lin Yi's first feeling is that as a practitioner alone, this Buddhist sect is not very powerful for him.
"What do you Xiaba tribe require?" Fo Zong continued in a slow voice.
"Except for the Tuoba clan, Xiaba clan, and Feiting clan, there are no other royal clans in Dangxiang."
Xia Baying remained calm. She learned from Luo Jilian's random bragging. She also started talking nonsense at this time, "After our coalition forces destroyed the other royal families, our three tribes will jointly govern the party. But next, the three tribes must join forces.
Tuguhun has also been included in our party territory."
"This request is also reasonable." Fo Zong said directly.
The crispness of his words also made Tuoba Xiongxin's complexion change drastically.
Although this was simple to say, it was easier said than done. He had never thought that the Buddha would directly agree to it.
"It's just that the Tuoba family and I, the Tantric Sect, also have a small request."
At this time, Buddha Zong waved his right hand again, as if to indicate that he didn't need to say anything more.
Then the extremely senile old man looked at Lin Yi with bright eyes and said, "I want to know the method of practicing the exercises you practice."
