It’s already the third day since we arrived at Damingwang Temple.
Liu Shuzhu and the two were arranged into a spacious wing room with a separate door and courtyard, and the environment was elegant and quiet.
In the courtyard, on the green lawn, an old monk sat cross-legged.
With a rosy face, he closed his eyes and practiced there. He remained motionless and silent for several days, with the Buddha's light lining the back of his head, dim and dim, making people awe-inspiring!
Three days ago, the monks welcomed the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva into the temple with a grand scene. Then there was no big movement, no more complicated ceremonies, and everything returned to normal.
Instead, the two of them were invited here, and a novice brought them food every day. They were told to bathe and fast for a few days, but they felt as if they were being placed under house arrest.
"Looking at the posture that day, I originally thought that there would be a coronation ceremony waiting for me later. Even if it doesn't work, I would have to do a few rituals. Why are you locked up? What's the big deal?"
Liu Shuzhu was half-lying on a wooden bed, with his legs crossed in an idle manner, feeling depressed. Since he had entered a den of thieves, he could only take things as they came. With his bohemian character, he simply had no worries.
He wanted to see what these monks were going to do!
"Little Thief Bald, have you tricked me?"
"Bah!" the young monk spat at him from afar, feeling uneasy, "The rituals are for the dead. As long as you are willing, I will chant sutras to save you right now!"
After entering the temple, the little monk Ruzhen looked anxious. As time went by, this anxious attitude became more intense!
He was pacing back and forth in the room, looking restless. He didn't know what kind of trouble he had. Since we met, I have never seen him so uneasy.
Outside, the ethereal sound of chanting came from the direction of the main hall, melodious to the ears. Every morning and evening classes, the sound of the Buddha was even louder. But hearing it in Liu Shuzhu's ears made him feel very upset and uncomfortable all over.
.
"It seems that I am really not a monk."
"Little bald man, what are you worried about? You were fine a few days ago, why did it change as soon as you entered the temple? Why do I always feel like something is wrong? Didn't I say that I wanted to be baptized by Buddhism?"
No matter what the young monk is worried about, it is definitely not a good sign if it makes him lose his mind to eat.
The young monk stopped, stopped talking, and then continued pacing.
Liu Shuzhu said angrily: "Say it quickly!"
After being urged by him, the young monk hesitated again and said in a low voice: "I was thinking... Master, will he change his mind after seeing you?"
In the Daming King Temple, there are only a handful of junior monks with high seniority. Even Abbot Yande doesn’t know that he is dozens of generations behind him. It is simply outrageous that he can reach such a high level!
Because he has neither deep spiritual practice nor mastery of Buddhism, nor is he an old monster whose years are measured in "thousands". He is just inflated.
False height is also high. Seniority cannot represent strength, but it can really set off some status!
In the temple, all the old monks who can cultivate the Buddha's light to protect the body, any one of them is old enough to be the ancestor of a junior monk, but they must be respected as "little master" on the surface.
In terms of seniority, apart from Hui Fan Arhat, the ‘great Buddhist monk’, the junior monks will definitely be in the top three!
Just because he is the only disciple of a sacred monk in the temple and the current successor of Mingwang Temple.
It has been thousands of years since the Sixth Patriarch Hui Fan was promoted to Arhat status. With his lifespan of more than 6,300 years, he is estimated to be older among the Seven Emperors and is already on the edge of decay. The title of Buddhist monk,
Well deserved.
But he has great benevolence and worries about the past. He is carefree and detached from the world. He has always seen the beginning but not the end of the dragon, and his relationship with the incense in the temple has long faded.
No matter who you are, once you reach that level and age, there will probably be very few things that can catch your eye again!
Among the three major temples, they all respect the laws of the Sixth Patriarch, but apart from the Arhat itself, there is also a sacred monk sitting in each temple. When it comes to martial arts achievements, the three are all at the pinnacle of perfection; when it comes to Buddhism, the three
Everyone has also learned the essence of education.
These three divine monks are the real leaders of the three major temples!
On the top floor of the stupa, there is a lay monk with hair who practices Buddhism. He has a life span of more than 4,000 years and has never been officially ordained as a monk, but he is still the mainstay of Mingwang Temple.
That person was the master of little monk Ruzhen, and the Sixth Patriarch had given him the title Kongzang.
"You changed your mind, what do you mean? What was your original idea, Master Kongzang? Tell me clearly!" Seeing that his words were strange, Liu Shuzhu hurriedly sat up and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"
What is Liu Shuzhu most concerned about now?
First, how many treasures are hidden in the three major temples.
Since Buddhism is the head of the ten sects, it is not enough to have eminent monks. It must also have a lot of foundation as support. On the surface, it looks poor and empty, but secretly there are not many rare treasures.
The three Bodhisattva relics used to protect the city alone are a first-class masterpiece!
The human head bowl, Bodhi root, and Jinglan relic are just one place in the Western Desert and do not represent the entire Buddhist power.
The word ‘Buddha’ has been at the forefront of great religions since ancient times. Who in the world dares to despise it!?
As for how much he can deceive and deceive, it depends on his ability and luck.
Another thing is that after waiting for things to happen here, Liu Shuzhu will take the opportunity to take a look at the cross-domain formation in the city!
If the plan goes well, he will ask the eminent monks in the temple to help him return to the northwest of the desert at the right time. After Scarface finds his lost friends, he will lead them back to the Eastern Region in a cross-domain formation.
Liu Shuzhu had his own wishful thinking in mind.
Whether it’s the blue lantern, the Buddha’s shadow, or the great calamity of heaven and earth, it doesn’t matter.
The sky is falling, but the warrior emperor is still holding it up!
He just wants to return to the mountains in glory, where there is his mother, his third uncle, a lolita, a black tiger, and a bunch of cute and hateful bandits. Even if he is at the end of the world, this concern is still there.
It's hard to leave.
With his current level of cultivation, it would be a piece of cake to dominate the Yongliang Mountains after he returns.
"I, I may have made a mistake and brought you into the pit of fire!" The little monk Ruzhen stamped his feet and said with regret.
Liu Shuzhu jumped up and said, "Don't scare me!" With the young monk's character, he would not harm him no matter what.
Just as the young monk was about to speak again, Abbot Yande opened the door and walked in. Monk Yanji was also standing outside the door. The difference in cultivation between them was so great that they could not detect each other's aura at all.
"Little Bodhisattva, little Master, Master wants to see you two."
Kongzang Divine Monk is finally going to see them.
The young monk only said half of what he said. What has not yet been said will be revealed soon even if it is not said.
Now it seems that this trip to the giant city may not be smooth sailing, and there seems to be something fishy hidden there. But it is already here, and there is no point in being afraid. Whether it is a blessing or a curse will be discussed later.
Liu Shuzhu glared at the young monk, meaning that he would settle accounts with you later, and walked out first. The two eminent monks were in front, followed by Liu Shuzhu and the young monk, and walked towards the direction of the stupa.
…
The stupa is isolated behind the Damingwang Temple and is also known as the Leaning Tower of the Ming Dynasty.
The tower body is not straight, with a total of 365 floors and a height of 999 feet and 9 feet. It can be seen that there is an obvious slope, with hexagonal eaves, spiraling up to the top of the tower.
When you are far away from the giant city, you can clearly see this tower.
The tower has a majestic style and is exceptionally simple and elegant. The bricks and tiles used to build the tower are all extremely common materials in the world.
As the four of them approached the ancient pagoda, they felt increasingly depressed, their palms were sweating, and their gait was extremely cautious. Not to mention flying through the air, every step they took was faced with great pressure, as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs.
However, all this was not caused by a powerful qi machine. The entire space around the ancient pagoda seemed to be filled with weirdness.
Solemn, sacred.
Two ancient breaths blended seamlessly with each other. It was these two breaths that brought unspeakable huge pressure.
Since the temple was first established, for nearly one hundred thousand years, countless divine monks have practiced in the pagoda, learned Taoism, practiced Zen, and repented. After so many years, the entire ancient pagoda and even one of the temple's
Every tree and plant has become no longer ordinary, possessing unpredictable spirituality!
Although grass is still grass, trees are still trees, and towers are still towers, it is not that simple.
When Emperor Wu of Destruction arrives here, he must still be in awe.
Abbot Yande walked to the foot of the tower and saluted respectfully: "Master, my disciple has brought you here."
Facing those two vast breaths, Liu Shuzhu raised his head slightly and looked up at the Jinglan relic on the top of the tower.
After arriving in the giant city, on the first night, I saw that the outside was even brighter than the inside of the house. Every detail was as clear as day, and they were all the work of the Jinglan relic the size of a grain of rice.
Squeak!
The dust-covered pagoda door slowly opened in front of several people. No one answered, but the abbot and monk Yanji bowed again.
Abbot Yande whispered to Liu Shuzhu: "You two go in, the master is waiting for you at the top of the tower." After saying that, he retreated side by side with monk Yanji.
The young monk hurriedly sent a message to him: "When you get inside, don't make any noise. In addition to the remains of the sacred monks of the past dynasties, there are mysterious monks sitting at the death gate on every floor. The higher you go up, the higher your cultivation level will be!"
"
Xuan Monk is a group of monks whose cultivation is against the heavens, but they are not far away from death. Most of them are at the level of destruction, and some are strong and perfect. They don't even obey the orders of the Sixth Patriarch. They can only be invited during the great catastrophe of heaven and earth.
born.
This kind of aura made Liu Shuzhu disgusted. It was a situation that he could not control no matter how hard he tried.
Destiny is in his hands.
He breathed a sigh of relief, his attitude was much calmer, and he stepped into the door first, followed closely by the young monk.
After the two of them entered, the tower door slowly closed behind them.
…
Abbot Yande and monk Yanji bowed out of the scope of the stupa.
"Junior Brother Yanji, when you return to the temple this time, you don't know when you will enter the world of mortals again?"
"Senior brother, I'll leave immediately."
After hearing this, Abbot Yande raised his eyebrows slightly and looked surprised, but he also became angry. He then said the Buddha's name a few times to calm down his mood.
"This time is different from the past. You have brought back the person chosen by the Sixth Patriarch all the way, and you are leaving again after only three days? Don't you want to stay and see the result?"
Monk Yanji shook his head and said, "It's okay if you don't look at it."
"You are a worldly monk. Over the years, even I have rarely seen you. You just came and left, and you are so heartless."
Monk Yanji said expressionlessly: "The poor monk has his own cause and effect. He is determined to walk around the world. As long as the world of mortals is still there, as long as he can still walk, he will not stop."
The Great Wish Bodhisattva once made the great wish that "I will never become a Buddha until hell is empty." Although Monk Yanji cannot compare with the Bodhisattva, he still has the worldly mind to travel around the world!
"If you have a Buddha in your heart, there will be Buddhas everywhere; if you have a temple in your heart, why should you hang on?" Yanji bowed his head to him and just said: "Brother, you are here." After saying this, he walked towards the temple gate.
Go.
It's just like what was said, leave immediately, right now, without any attachment or stay.
Abbot Yande looked at his back, shook his head secretly, and sighed: "You put it lightly. How many years have we known each other since childhood? The friendship between brothers is stronger than blood.
Get ready, my cultivation has reached its limit, and I’m going to break it!”
Old friends meet again, but I don’t know when it will be.
"Traveling all over the mountains and rivers, truly walking, escaping into the mortal world without ever returning, Amitabha." Seeing the figure disappear, Abbot Yande praised: "You are a free and easy monk, I am not as good as you."
