Volume 1: Red Moon Rising Chapter 21: Shengjing Buddha Fight
Shengjing, the capital of the Longteng Kingdom, has eight streets and nine roads, bustling with traffic and bustling with people. This is the most prosperous and majestic city in the world, and it is indeed well-deserved.
Fayuan has been to Shengjing many times and is familiar with the city. After entering the city, he quickly walked to Lanzhen Temple. If nothing else happened, the master would be at Lanzhen Temple.
Lanzhen Temple is the second largest temple in Longteng Kingdom and the second Buddhist holy place in the country. It is located in the Yushu Qionglin in the north of the city, with beautiful scenery. After receiving the ordination certificate from Dharma Destiny, he was introduced to the Zen room.
In the room, a skinny old monk was sitting on a futon, his eyes slightly closed and he was chanting sutras. His face was clear and slender, and the traces of time were already covered on his face. He was the respected Zen Master Daoji of Longteng Kingdom. Fa Yuan suddenly felt warm in his heart.
The affection between master and disciple, like father and son, is naturally revealed.
After not seeing each other for a year, the master seemed to have aged a bit. Fayuan walked over and knelt down on the futon next to Daoji. Daoji said kindly: "He's back!"
"Well, my disciple is back. He lived up to his master's teachings and successfully broke through three days ago."
Daoji's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "Are you worthy of breaking through the realm of heaven and humans?"
Daoji then laughed and said: "Twenty-two-year-old disciple who is in the realm of unity between heaven and man, you really did not disappoint me. In this Buddha fight, look at how arrogant Tiandu is. Haha."
Fifty years ago, there was a fight between Buddhas in Tiandu, and Long Teng returned home sadly. Zhengde, who had just entered into the unity of heaven and man, completely defeated his Taoist brothers in a debate on Buddhism.
Whenever there is a critical point in the Buddhist fight, when the winner is about to be decided, the Tiandu Buddhist group will shout out: "We have righteousness." This is to disrupt the thinking of Longteng's opponents and undermine the confidence of Longteng Buddhist group.
The implication is that if your Buddhism is orthodox, why don't you have a master in the realm of gods and humans? But we have a Buddhist master in the realm of gods and humans.
Whenever this happens, the Longteng Buddhist group can only stare angrily or suppress their voices in silence. The reputation of Zhengde has become a magic weapon for Tiandu Buddhism to conquer cities and conquer the enemy.
Ever since the "Sheng Emperor" established the Dragon Teng Cauldron, in more than a thousand years, the Dragon Teng and the Tiandu Buddha have fought nearly twenty times, with each winning or losing. Generally speaking, the Dragon Teng is still slightly inferior.
Longteng Buddhism has been holding its breath, and the breakdown of the Dharma relationship gives Daoji hope to regain his face in this Buddha fight.
When the master and the disciple met, they chatted and talked endlessly. Fayuan told the master in detail about the situation of his breaking through. Of course, he just ignored the things related to Ruolan. Later, he talked about it again.
What the Tiandu mission saw.
Daoji closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said: "I have never heard of the hidden family named Yao. Having come from the realm of unity between man and nature, it is definitely not a small family with a small surname. But there is indeed no such thing in the three major empires.
family."
"What you said is broken
The environment is related to the mind, and it is necessary to strengthen the tempering of the mind. You and I, all the brothers and sisters, can borrow lots and try. But everyone has his own opportunity, and he may not be able to succeed."
Daoji took the jade pendant handed over by Fa Yuan and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see the meaning.
He said: "I don't see anything heretical. This should be an ordinary pendant, just a toy. I have been to Tiandu several times and have heard about several princes in Tiandu. Xia Houyan's character is not bad.
.”
"Xia Hounen was a powerful generation with many sons and daughters. All of his adult sons were able to stand alone, especially the eldest and the third.
The sons coveted her one after another, and the 'Eight Kings' War' began."
"If Xia Houyan is willing to give up all his glory and wealth to join my Buddhist sect, it will be a good story. After the Buddha fight, I will take him back to Bailan Temple."
Fayuan asked the master again if he would have a spinning cloud in his mind after breaking through the heavenly realm. Daoji didn't know either.
After the exchange between master and disciple, they went back to their rooms to rest. Fayuan wanted to make a request to return to secular life several times but held back.
The master had taught him everything he could for more than ten years, and he had already regarded Fayuan as his son. Looking at his old face, Fayuan could only swallow the words he spoke.
In a few days, I will give the master some time to breathe during the Buddha fight, and let him show off his dignity before telling him. Thinking of Ruolan's figure, Fayuan sighed quietly.
Dharma Destiny began to form seals and practice. After the completion of the twelve heavenly days, the clouds appeared in my mind again. Looking at this slowly rotating cloud, Dharma Destiny was really confused. What on earth is this?
Practicing martial arts in Fayuan is not just a day or two. You must have seen a lot over the past ten years. I have never heard of it for many years. Who would have clouds lingering in their mind.
After countless experiments, Dharma Yuan finally discovered that this cloud is actually the base camp of his thoughts, composed of little bits of heat flow brought about by his thoughts.
In other words, this cloud is the formation and manifestation of the power of thoughts. When the thoughts are used, the clouds appear, and when the thoughts are not used, the clouds disappear. With this discovery, Dharma Destiny finally relaxed and began to consolidate the cultivation of the unity of heaven and man.
More than ten days passed between the bombing and the command, and the Tiandu Buddhist Group arrived in Shengjing.
Daoji followed the method mentioned by Dharma Yuan and used his thoughts to find opportunities to break through the situation, but it had no effect at all. To him, thoughts were just thoughts in his heart, a thought or idea, and Daoji couldn't even find a clue.
It seems that everyone has different opportunities and will not break through the same realm. It is difficult to break through the realm of unity between man and nature, and there is no experience or method to find it.
July 15th, the day of every Buddha fight, is also the Ghost Festival all over the world. Tiandu Buddhist Group
I arrived at the square of Lanzhen Temple early and took my seat.
The Longteng State Buddhist Group is composed of famous monks from Bailan Temple, Lanzhen Temple, Baoguo Temple, etc., and the atmosphere is solemn and solemn. Emperor Longteng Zhao Junan led his courtiers to watch the formation from the chairman's seat.
The Crown Prince of Tiandu and his envoys were sitting at the bottom. He was a Crown Prince and was not qualified to sit on the same throne as Emperor Long Teng.
Sitting at the back were densely packed citizens. The wide square was filled with people and thousands of people.
After the grand and tedious opening ceremony, the Buddha fight officially began.
The first game is a literary battle: Debating Buddhism.
The two sides debated on Buddhist scriptures, teachings, gains from practicing Buddhism, and the fruit of Buddhahood in the human world. Twenty people from each side were drawn to determine the outcome.
The missions from both sides had formulated strategies to defeat the enemy in advance. During the competition, both sides cited scriptures, exchanged words, and discussed the wonderful points in detail, which attracted bursts of cheers.
Obviously, Long Teng was more prepared. The Taoist generation and the Dharma generation took turns to appear, each showing his or her own style. Fayuan came on the stage and argued directly to the point where the other party was speechless, which was even more clean and neat.
Tiandu Buddhist Group, the young Zen Master "Xinru", with superb Buddhist teachings and a lotus-like tongue, has restored some face for Tiandu.
After nineteen rounds, Long Teng sealed the victory with 11 to 8. In the end, this debate was irrelevant, the outcome was already clear.
Zhengde finally appeared with a dark face. On Longteng's side, Zen Master Daoji stood up.
Fayuan gently pressed on Daoji's shoulder and said, "Master, let me do it."
Daoji looked at Fa Yuan, who nodded affirmatively, then walked to the center of the square and sat down at the debate table, waiting for Zhengde to fight.
In the Tiandu Prince's mission, someone suddenly shouted: "How can this person come on stage for the second time? Is it possible that there is no one available in Longteng Kingdom?"
The Prince of Tiandu said: "It doesn't matter. Master Zhengde has not raised any objection yet, so he must be confident. Let's see what the National Master has planned."
The man agreed, "That's right. The master's clever tricks are unparalleled, and he will surely make the young monk piss himself off."
Unable to get enough of it, he suddenly stood up and raised his hands and shouted: "We have righteousness, we have righteousness."
He shouted twice, but found that no one answered him. There was a hint of murderous intent in the prince's cold eyes. All the monks in the Tiandu Buddhist group looked at him with unkind expressions, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
Obviously, he didn't know that the young monk opposite Zhengde had also advanced to the heavenly realm.
I have long been expecting someone from the Tiandu Mission to shout this out. The Longteng Buddhist Mission almost said in unison: "We have a Dharma connection, and we are in the state of unity between heaven and man at the age of twenty-two." They shouted twice in succession.
